Chapter 296: The Carnival of the Group Marriage System 3

Natsuhime stood under a peach tree, staring up at the sky above her in a daze. The peach trees here are one by one, short and round, very neatly trimmed, and the flowers bloom like large pink umbrellas. However, the peach blossoms in the deer park are not like this, they are thousand-year-old peach trees, with lush branches and deep roots, just one, but it is enough to cover a very wide sky.

The scenery of another country, no matter how good, is only a traveler.

However, Natsuki knows that Jeongkook is not her hometown - only the place where the heart can live is her hometown. Now, she hasn't found this Fang'an Paradise.

The edict of King Chuzhuang has come down, and the date of her departure has been set, just wait for Lian Yin's Mansion to be ready, and the envoys are ready, and then, she will leave Danyang forever.

Although she promised to return to Lian Yin's Mansion after welcoming Xiang Lao's body, she knew that she would never return to this place again.

Here, even a forest is not as good.

Here, there are not even too many memories.

Zheng Guo's trip, what kind of fate awaits her, she can't imagine. It's like Qu Wu, who comes and goes without a trace, sometimes, she thinks he is Ziling, and sometimes, she feels that he is not.

If it was Ziling, what kind of vicissitudes did he go through before he had to hide his head and show his tail?

If it weren't for Zi Ling, how could he be so familiar with her Xia Ji and know so well? How could he have Zi Ling's temperament, Zi Ling's habits, and Zi Ling's unique movements and manners?

......

One mystery after another, unsolved. Moreover, she could not take the initiative to pursue it, so she was forced to wait.

Slowly, she stood until her legs stiffened. It was secluded, with a small gate enclosing the garden alone, and the maids outside. Beyond the walls, there is another sky.

She knew that no one would come today. Even the maids were a few.

Because, this is the annual "Flower Dynasty Festival".

At that time, the time of the "Flower Dynasty Festival" was not exactly the same in various countries, but the content was similar.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, that was the era of extremely open folk customs in history, wars and disasters for many years, population became the first factor to measure the strength of each country. Therefore, multiplication is the top priority of all countries.

However, at that time, the ancients had a short lifespan, material abundance, a generally low fertility rate, and there was no way to cure infertility, leaving many widows after every war, and no one cared about them.

Of course, the state could not let these widows be idle, so they made excuses and continued the ancient "group marriage system".

One of the functions of the "Flower Dynasty Festival" is like this.

On this day, young men and women will meet and revel by the river, and when the sun sets, the person who sees the right eye will fall in love and find a hidden place to linger.

This is especially true for women who have not been married for a long time, and for women who have not yet given birth...... Often not long after this festival, the pearl will be secretly knotted, and the child will be happy.

It can be said that this is just a disguised way of the early group marriage system in human history. In addition to the strict morality between close relatives, it is extremely common for widows to remarry and widowers to remarry. Even if a widow conceives a child again, it is not something that a thousand husbands refer to. Otherwise, Xia Ji had an affair with a ** man before and after, and there are still so many ministers in the world who want to marry her home.
