5. The truth of the "right of the first night".

In order to ease everyone's mood, before getting to the saddest topic, let's talk about some things that seem to be very fragrant - such as the right to the first night.

The so-called right of the first night refers to the feudal lords of medieval Europe, when the residents of the territory get married, they can rush in front of the groom, sleep with the bride for the first night, and seize the right to her chastity.

Well, all of you dissatisfied, after hearing this good news, do you feel the blood boiling all over your body, and you can't wait to immediately travel to medieval Europe as a lord and experience the wonderful pleasure of a free **** Yanma that rotates every month?

…… This one...... Well, I still have to say that the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny, and the actual situation is probably far from as good as you think.

In fact, for the feudal lords of medieval Europe, the right to the first night was more of a hard duty than a privilege, and it was usually the peasants who were about to get married who had made a fortune and prepared a generous gift, begging their grandfather to beg their grandmother to come and ride their daughter-in-law.

Why is there such a ridiculous thing? Could it be that medieval Europeans were **** in terms of sexual concepts?

Because the concept of hygiene in medieval Europe was very backward, in many areas, adult women have been discriminated against as dirty because of the smell of menstruation, which is completely reversed from Jia Baoyu's famous assertion in "Dream of Red Mansions" that "women are made of water, and men are made of mud". Coupled with some superstitious factors left over from the primitive tribal era, in the European countryside in the early Middle Ages, virgins were generally considered to be poisonous, dirty, and even men who got sick and died on **** - completely opposite to the concept of chastity of the Chinese at the same time.

In the eyes of those ignorant villagers, only the honorable lords and monks can overcome the "toxicity" of ****, replace the groom under the protection of the holy light, and "ward off evil spirits" for the **** bride, and then those powerless grooms dare to talk to their wives.

But in practice, due to the constraints of the canon's precepts, except for a few dissolute priests with bad conduct, it is mainly the lords who do not prohibit alcohol to help the bridegroom "ward off evil spirits" - don't think that this is a benefit! In fact, with the miserable health and nutritional conditions of early medieval Europe, how many ordinary village girls are good-looking? Many brides don't take a shower a few times a year, and they still have lice and fleas on their bodies, and the smell arrives before the person arrives. At that time, most of the lords and lords were also for the sake of the salted fish, sausages, eggs, and cheese that the peasants had brought up their filial piety, so they pinched their noses and endured their nausea, and went to roll the sheets with those vulgar fans with pockmarked faces, dirty and smelly, and thin yellow skin......

Of course, as time went by, civilization also advanced, and by the middle and late Middle Ages, there were basically not many ignorant people in Europe who would do stupid things like spending a lot of money to ask the lord to his daughter-in-law. The right to the first night also slowly evolved into a marriage tax - the lords announced the sale of the right to the first night, and the groom handed over some money or food to "buy" the bride's **** back from the lord......

For example, in a proclamation issued by the canton parliament of Zurich in 1538, it was stated: "The owner of the land, the lord, has the right to spend the night with the bride of the peasants (small tenant farmers, serfs) of the land, and the bridegroom is obliged to offer the bride to the lord for his enjoyment." If he does not want to, the bridegroom pays the lord 4. 3 marks or so for the compensation fee. In Byrne, Germany, the bride paid the lord a cauldron "fit down to the hips" and cheese "as heavy as the hips," and the groom had to pay the lord a high-class blouse or blanket. This compensation is the so-called "marriage tax". If the above "obligations" are not fulfilled, the marriage cannot be recognized by the notary public and cannot be approved by the lord.

In addition, in certain years and regions of the late Middle Ages, the right of the first night was completely restored.

For example, when King Edward I of England conquered Scotland, in order to recruit people to consolidate the newly occupied Scottish region, Edward I once again announced the restoration of the right of the first night, luring the **** English lords to lead their troops to leave the prosperous and warm southern homeland and go to the Scottish Highlands to serve as an occupation army, and by the way, enjoy the local Scottish village girls for free.

As a result, poor Wallace came home and saw that his new wife Mellen had been raped and then killed by the English lord, and immediately rushed to the crown in anger, shouting "Freedom" and launching a vigorous uprising, and since then there has been the popular legend of "Braveheart......

In short, in the mid-to-late Middle Ages, it was difficult to actually enforce the right of the first night in the strict sense, and if the traveler lord insisted on doing this, he had to be mentally prepared for a sudden Wallace to appear in his territory, shouting "Freedom" and setting off a big riot.

- Note that it is one thing not to give money to enforce the right of the first night, and it is another thing to ******** out there to have an illegitimate child, and as long as you are willing to give money and decorations, there will still be many peasant girls who are willing to warm your bed without a name or a penny.

According to some sporadic records, in the early Middle Ages, there were often cases where the lord saw a certain farmer unpleasantly and refused to give his ugly wife **** on his wedding night to exorcise evil spirits, which made the unlucky farmer's whole family feel worried. In the late Middle Ages, a similar situation was reversed, and for certain prickly heads, the lords would often deliberately sell or give away his wife's first night rights to some well-known scumbag villain...... Then let the two of them fight on their own, and the lord can have fun without it.

There is a fact that many people may not know: even in modern Britain, there are still many remote areas that do not explicitly abolish the right of first night, and it is all up to modern landlords to consciously declare that they give it up. If anyone forgets to declare it, it will cause a big mess - in 2oo7, British Crown Prince Charles bought a large estate of 196 acres in Carmarthenshire, Wales, with the intention of using it for vacation. Who knows that the feudal lord's right to the first night in this place has not been abolished, and it is still valid theoretically, and Prince Charles did not sign a document to give up this right when he bought the estate.

As a result, this loophole was dug up by the pervasive paparazzi, poked into many street tabloids, and caused a stir in the city for a while, and also made many local farm girls in Carmarthenshire, who were about to become brides, uneasy - Princess Diana's wedding of the century was decades ago at that time. Now everyone knows that if this Charles strips off the halo of the crown prince, he is actually just a bad old man, and the girls will not think about him even if they are Sichun!

As a result, a spokesman for the British Lawrence Palace hurriedly stated that Prince Charles would never use this ancient and backward feudal power - thinking about this His Royal Highness Prince Charles, although he can't talk about any moral model of cleanliness and self-righteousness, it should not be so **** No lower limit, it is estimated that he is most likely old, and his thinking is not sharp enough, and he didn't think of this stubble when he bought the manor, and signed a document less.

In China, in fact, there is also a saying about the right of the first night, and the age is not far from us now - according to the personal investigation of General Pi Dingjun, the Shaolin Temple before the liberation was the largest landlord in Songshan, and the land of the Shaolin Temple was within a radius of dozens of miles. And these monks, who claim to be "six pure roots," brazenly claim that they have the "right to the first night," and tell the tenant farmers that they have good daughters-in-law who rent good land, but those who do not have good daughters-in-law rent bad land, and those who do not have daughters-in-law have no land to plant, and they openly mess with women and do not give them money -- as a result, the daughters of farmers near the Shaolin Temple cannot get married, and their sons cannot get wives......

In short, I advise everyone not to take the righteous and awe-inspiring martial arts holy place Shaolin Temple in Jin Yong's novel, and the evil bald traitor and bandit den on Shaomur Mountain in reality as the same thing. Like in the novel "Three Thousand Beautiful Girls", it is described that the monks of Shaolin Temple who broke their vows wore fake condoms and ate prostitutes in **** without giving money, and carried sticks to extort protection money from house to house, which has already been beautified. If you Jin Yong fans really go to the Shaolin Temple in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China to have a look, there will definitely be an urge to burn the Shaolin Temple.

――In modern Chinese history, the heinous sins committed by the Shaolin Temple are really too numerous to write: **** abducted female pilgrims, opened a ** faction in the secret room, and sold it into **** when she was tired of playing; pretending to be bandits to rob business travelers, extort protection money and kill people; colluding with reactionary warlords, persecuting ** members to create white terror; and took refuge in the Japanese as a tiger, and when the leading party betrayed the anti-Japanese army and civilians, he basically did everything......

Therefore, Master Shi Yongxin, the abbot of the contemporary Shaolin Temple, worked tirelessly to consecrate and pray for the naked female benefactor. There are also glorious deeds such as the monks of Shaolin Temple who "worshipped" the Buddha on the incense table in front of the Buddha****** etc., which also seem to have a long tradition......

(Master Shi Yongxin's prostitution, there are different opinions, so far it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, but the corruption of today's Chinese monks is true.) ）
