Chapter 0382 - The Appearance of All Beings
In the early morning of the next day, the day after arriving in Anhua City, Zhang E followed her husband Bai Duohuang and her five-year-old daughter to the county office in the center of Anhua City.
;;;; Wearing the new clothes that her husband gave her yesterday, holding her husband's arm intimately, watching her daughter being held by her husband, she seemed to be still a little at a loss, Zhang E only lowered her head shyly, and her eyebrows were full of sweetness.
;;;; For everything in front of him, Bai Duowei also felt incredible;
;;;; Yesterday, like most of the soldiers and regimental soldiers in Pyongyang, Bai Duo Huang was a bachelor who was well fed and his family was not hungry;
;;;; But today, after such a night's work, Bai Duowei not only has a woman, but even a daughter······
;;;; "Hey, hey, hey!"
;;;; "Fine... Believe in me! ”
;;;; "In the future, I will wait for Xijun and Yi'er!"
;;;; "Let the fine gentleman eat meat every day, and when the child is older, he will also have three miles of red makeup and get married!
;;;;! ”
;;;; "Hey, hey, hey······"
;;;; Listening to her husband's silly smile, Zhang E's face became more shy, and she quietly picked up a piece under Bai Duoxiao's armpits, and twisted it lightly or heavily!
;;;; "What do you say······"
;;;; "You're still young·········"
;;;; was pinched by his wife like this, Bai Duowei suddenly bared his teeth and grinned, and subconsciously dodged his body out, but the hand holding his daughter was extremely stable!
;;;; Seeing that her daughter was more carefully held in her arms than her husband, Zhang E finally felt more relieved.
;;;; - If such a thing were placed in Kanto, it would not have happened at all!
;;;; Although the men of Kanto do not have any resistance to women who have been married and have children, the concept of 'second marriage without burden' is not unique to later generations;
;;;; Like Zhang E, a little widow who married and gave birth to children, but unfortunately lost her husband, has only two ways out in Kanto;
;;;; Or, never marry again, and raise the children alone;
;;;; Either that, they give their children away and marry them alone.
;;;; And these two ways out, no matter which one you choose, is undoubtedly a human tragedy.
;;;; According to the decree of the Han dynasty today, it is illegal for a widow not to marry······
;;;; Not only widows, but even the eldest daughter of Huanghua who has never been married, after the age of fifteen, theoretically must be married!
;;;; If you do not marry at the age of fifteen, you must start paying a 'late marriage fine' of five cents per year, that is, six hundred yuan;
;;;; What to marry after and when to stop paying the fine.
;;;; If at the age of eighteen, this 'leftover fighter' still does not marry, it is not as simple as a fine.
;;;; The intimate local government will specially send a high-ranking official with more than 100 stones to personally find Ruyi Langjun for this 'leftover fighter';
;;;; As long as a suitable person is found, that is, a man with sound limbs, no disabilities, and no principled defects in character, the government will force Lang to force this marriage!
;;;; This is true of first-married girls, let alone widows.
;;;; ——Compared with the girl who first married, a widow who has already had experience in marriage and childbearing, but she has proven that she can give birth!
;;;; In order to marry a twenty-eight girl, ordinary farmers may be willing to grit their teeth and spend most of their spare money to get married;
;;;; But if you have had childbirth experience, especially a widow who has given birth to a son, there will definitely be a lot of people who will not hesitate to sell ten acres or even twenty acres of land, and they must marry this 'sought-after goods' home!
;;;; For ordinary farmers who never forget to 'pass on their ancestry', it is an important guarantee for family continuity and bloodline inheritance.
;;;; If someone marries a widow but still can't give birth to a son, then the neighbors in the township will not blame the widow, but will blame the man: If you can't give birth to a son, you don't have the ability to do it, and it has nothing to do with your daughter-in-law!
;;;; Why?
;;;; - If someone has given birth to a son, that is, he can give birth!
;;;; If you can't give birth now, you can't???
;;;; But the premise of the widow's 'sought-after' is to marry alone, not with a drag oil bottle.
;;;; This is also easy to understand: ordinary farmers are likely to not have enough to eat;
;;;; In order to continue the family bloodline, the people eat one meal for two or three days, just to let their sons and grandsons eat more!
;;;; The family is not rich in the first place, and many widows can say that they can at least manage the affairs of the family and do some female celebrities to subsidize the family;
;;;; If you are lucky enough to give birth to a son and a half daughter, although the days are tighter, it is your own blood after all, gritting your teeth, and raising it.
;;;; But for a non-related oil bottle, there is no farmer who is struggling to make a living, and there will be even a trace of patience.
;;;; So in some remote places in Kanto, there will even be such an incredible phenomenon.
;;;; - A widow wants to get married, especially if she wants to marry a good family, and she is worried that others will look down on her, so she will personally sell her and her ex-husband's blood into slavery, and use the money obtained from the sale of the baby as her own dowry······
;;;; But fortunately, Zhang E waited for the day when the bitterness came.
;;;; Husband Bai Duowei is not only willing to accept his daughter, but even promised Zhang E: In the future, he will definitely find a good family and marry his daughter out of the house!
;;;; In this era, a widow who remarries can get the promise of 'marrying a good family/marrying a good girl after dragging the oil bottle', which is already the most ideal result.
;;;; For her husband, Zhang E has nothing else to ask for.
;;;; A family of three who had only formed for less than a day came to the county office with a little awkwardness, a little restraint, and great sincerity;
;;;; I saw Bai Duowei holding his daughter in his right hand, carefully holding Zhang E's hand with his left hand, confidently stepping forward, and leaning down in front of a window.
;;;; "Shangguan, I'm here to record my wife's household;"
;;;; "Pyongyang Commander Tun Cultivation Regiment, Team B, Carp, Gatun, Bingshishi, Baek Duo ······"
;;;; Bai Duowei's voice fell, and there was a sound of rummaging in the window, which made Zhang E a little nervous;
;;;; After a while, an old scribe appeared in front of the dark window.
;;;; "Oh······"
;;;; "There is a lot of white millet in the river, and the head of the Tun Gengjia Regiment;"
;;;; "Seven feet one inch tall and weighs two hundred and forty pounds."
;;;; "There are four moles on the left neck, which are square in shape, and the moles are about an inch apart about ······"
;;;; He read out in a deep voice, and when the scribe raised his head, Bai Duowei had already turned his head away, and pulled the placket of his shirt down, revealing the four square-like moles around his neck.
;;;; "Hmmm······"
;;;; "It's about the same size, but it looks burly?"
;;;; "Hey, there is enough food in the group, and meat is often fishy, so there is more ······"
;;;; Listening to Bai Duohuang's generous response to the scribe's question, the blank look on Xiao Xiao'er's face also dissipated a little, and Zhang E's gaze at Bai Duohuang was even more faintly filled with a touch of admiration.
;;;; - Able to answer fluently in front of people who can read and write, without any panic;
;;;; Coupled with his upright appearance and sturdy figure, for ordinary farmers, such a man is enough to be called a 'great husband'······
;;;; "What is the wife's surname, who is her name, and who is who?"
;;;; Zhang E was secretly looking at her husband as a nymphomaniac, and suddenly heard that the scribe was emanating, so she subconsciously lowered her head shyly;
;;;; When he reacted, he hurriedly raised his head and stepped forward as if he was afraid that his husband would be snatched away.
;;;; "Ahh
;;;; "The little girl's name is Zhang E;"
;;;; "Ancestral hometown, Linzi, Qi County, Jiyangli, Dongxiang, ······"
;;;; A little urgent, and a little uneasy, he said that he had come out of the past, and saw what the scribe was writing on a wooden tablet, Zhang E couldn't help but take a deep breath, and only then did the tension in his heart dissipate a little;
;;;; "What is the son's surname, who is his name?"
;;;; At this point, the scribe also saw that Bai Duowei had married a widow with an oil bottle, so he simply stopped asking about his origin.
;;;; Hearing this, Bai Duowei only hurriedly leaned over again, and replied as quickly as he grabbed the credit: "Yi'er! ”
;;;; As soon as the words came out, Bai Duowei came to his senses, straightened up, turned to look at Zhang E, and scratched his head with a slightly embarrassed smile.
;;;; "Yi'er's surname, I haven't asked Xijun yet······"
;;;; As soon as these words came out, Zhang E's face, which had just calmed down, suddenly became a little cramped again.
;;;; Zhang E's deceased husband's surname is Wei;
;;;; Child;
;;;; Wei Yi'er······
;;;; No!
;;;; Zhang E's surname is Zhang!
;;;; Child;
;;;; Zhang Yi'er······
;;;; "The surname of the child ······"
;;;; For a while, Zhang E suddenly fell into an inexplicable battle between heaven and man.
;;;; When Zhang E's mind flew away and her breathing became short, Bai Duoxiao's silly smile came into Zhang E's field of vision.
;;;; is obviously naïve, even with some childish smirks, but for some reason, it was that hehe, which made Zhang E's chaotic mood calm down unconsciously;
;;;; For a moment, Zhang E hesitated;
;;;; But looking at Bai Duoxiao's arms, her daughter was no longer cramped before, and she took out the ancient jade that Bai Duohuang hung around her neck and carefully hid in her robe, but Bai Duohuang did not show the slightest displeasure, only shook her daughter awkwardly······
;;;; "White."
;;;; Zhang E had an answer in her heart, stepped forward, raised her head firmly, and looked at the seven-foot boy in front of her;
;;;; Look at her husband: Bai Duowei.
;;;; "The surname is Bai."
;;;; "Bai Yi'er."
;;;; Summoning all the courage and looking directly at Bai Duoxiao's gaze full of differences, Zhang E took a deep breath and forcibly swallowed the next sentence back into her stomach.
;;;; - Little girl, Bai Zhang's ······
;;;; In the evening of the same day, Anhua City East Street was filled with a festive atmosphere.
;;;; ——This is the first wedding banquet held in the city since the completion of Anhua City;
;;;; The dishes during the banquet are not too rich, but there are a lot of people who come, highlighting a lively;
;;;; Hearing that there was a happy event, Lu Lu, the commander of Andong County, was not stingy, and sent someone to send two days of turbid wine for everyone to drink.
;;;; In this way, the four courtyards connected together, with a low wall in the middle, more than 60 Tu Ploughing regimental soldiers, and twenty or thirty family members of the Tuan Tuan Regimental Soldiers, like Zhang E, who had just arrived in Anhua yesterday, formed such a simple and extremely warm wedding banquet.
;;;; There is no one worship of heaven and earth, two worship of the high hall in the impression of later generations, nor the master of ceremonies of the new era of later generations, or the unique witness of Western culture.
;;;; It was these sixty or so big men, twenty or thirty old and young, eating and drinking with open stomachs, making noise and blessings from time to time.
;;;; The bride, Zhang E, had already put on a hijab and was connected to the brick house with white many;
;;;; Outside the brick house, there were two old brothers, Zhang Aiji and Bai Duoxiao, pouring wine one by one, and talking sentence by sentence.
;;;; "Old man."
;;;; "My sister, this is the landing;"
;;;; "In the future, it's time for me to call my brother-in-law"
;;;; "Hey······ hey"
;;;; Zhang Aiji's embarrassed words made Bai Duowei laugh for a while, but in the end, he didn't forget to turn around with a little seriousness, and whispered in his ear: "In private, call me brother-in-law; ”
;;;; "In the regiment, call me more millet and Bai Shichang, and they will all succeed."
;;;; Hearing Bai Duowei solemnly say, 'Our brothers have their own opinions', Zhang Yiji's face was stunned, and then he laughed.
;;;; Seeing that the tun chief was so happy, the regimental guards in the left and right courtyards also took care of themselves, and only a moment later, they each pushed their glasses and changed their lamps, falling into the sweetness of 'fine wine'.
;;;; - Before that, at least ninety percent of the 100 or so people who participated in this wedding banquet had never drunk alcohol!
;;;; Because whether it is the Qin Dynasty or the Han Dynasty today, wine belongs to the same tube products as salt and iron;
;;;; Non-marital funerals, gatherings of more than three people, regardless of the former Qin and modern Han dynasties, are all 'illegal crimes' in the absolute sense.
;;;; But as in later generations: banning something often does not destroy something, but drives up the price of it;
;;;; Therefore, in the past 50 years, wine has been almost a luxury enjoyed by the rich and even the powerful.
;;;; And today, I have been away from home for many years, and I have been in Anhua for two years, and the young men who have never experienced what 'enjoying' are tasted for the first time;
;;;; This kind of taste is worth everyone here to savor for a lifetime.
;;;; - Because in most of the vassal states of the Kanto region, you need a knighthood to buy sake······
;;;; Gao Jue above the bus ride······
;;;; "Huh!"
;;;; "Brother-in-law"
;;;; "Much!"
;;;; "Bai Shi Chang ······"
;;;; I don't know what I thought, Zhang Yi was already melancholy for a moment, and he slapped his big hand on Bai Duowei's shoulder coldly;
;;;; took advantage of the situation to hug Bai Duowei from his shoulders, and the two husbands pressed their foreheads tightly together, like old friends who had not seen each other for many years, and like enemies who were angry with the cow;
;;;; "My sister's life is hard!"
;;;; "The first time I got married, I married someone who was inappropriate;"
;;;; "I know that my sister will marry her son, and my brother will definitely be wronged······"
;;;; "Don't be aggrieved!"
;;;; "It's not ······"
;;;; Bai Duowei hurriedly opened his mouth to deny it, but found that Zhang Yiji seemed to be unable to hear his words at all;
;;;; He only continued to take care of himself: "In the future, if there is a shortage of money at home, tell me!" ”
;;;; "I'm a bachelor, and I don't need a few dollars······"
;;;; "Wait until your child is older······"
;;;; "Hiccup"
;;;; "Big... Older, when, married; ”
;;;; "Dowry, I give ······"
;;;; "Uh······"
;;;; "I'm out ·········"
;;;; As he spoke, the words in Zhang Aiji's mouth became more and more contained, and his body shook a little.
;;;; "Drink!"
;;;; "If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!
;;;;! ”
;;;; The sudden shout was like a return to the light, which made everyone in the courtyard stunned;
;;;; After a while, Zhang fell to the ground softly and silkily, snoring on the spot, and everyone laughed and continued to drink.
;;;; Only Bai Duo Huang rubbed his forehead with a wry smile, picked up Zhang Zhiji, and walked towards the courtyard next door.
;;;; ——The courtyard at the foot is Bai Duowei's wedding room;
;;;; Tonight, it is the night of candles in the white cave room······
