The reason why the Hu Gongman tribe became the first eight princes is that this tribe was originally a descendant of Emperor Shun; Secondly, it is because he once sent troops to Meng Jin to help Zhou destroy Shang.

In ancient times, the Shun tribe lived in the Fushui River valley in the east of the river. In ancient times, the land was the surname, and the clansmen had the surname of the concubine. After Emperor Shun came out, the concubine tribe has been living in the concubine valley and cultivating, and there has never been a storm again. Suddenly established the country as a prince, naturally with the country name as the biggest, the entire concubine tribe also took the country name "Chen" as the clan, and the world has had the Chen family since then.

King Wu of Zhou and the Emperor of Shang died of illness in the second year, and the six princes of the first batch of princes (Guan, Cai, Huo, Kang, Cao, and Yin) rebelled together. As a result, it led to Zhou Gongdan's Eastern Crusade to quell the chaos. Chen Guo also resolutely joined the army of Wang Shi's Eastern Expedition.

After the Jing Rebellion, the six princes were all annihilated, and only Yan and Chen were left in the first eight princes. The Duke of Zhou divided the feudal system in the name of King Cheng of Zhou, and only then did he have a group of princes such as Lu, Qi, Wei, Song, Jin, Chu, Zheng, and Cai. Since then, Chen has had the supreme glory of the loyal and diligent royal family to overcome the difficulties and appeasements, and has become a prominent pillar among the princes in the early Western Zhou Dynasty.

However, the vicissitudes of the world are also unpredictable. Since then, although the Chen State has not been brilliant, it can be regarded as a second-rate vassal state in the Central Plains. It is precisely because of this that Shenhou took the initiative to extend the olive branch of marriage to Chen Guo. But at this time, King Zhou Yi died, and Uncle Wang was enthroned as the king of filial piety.

In the same year, things changed dramatically. First, the sister of Shenhou, who was going to marry Ji Xie, the eldest son of King Yi, repented of her marriage and remarried with Suihou as his wife; Immediately afterwards, someone arranged the marriage between Chen Gong's daughter and Ji Hui, the eldest son of King Xiao, so he ...... Chen Gong married his concubine into Haojing, but married the daughter of the second concubine, that is, the Shen Concubine Dingbao in front of him, to Shen Hou.

From Chen Gong's standpoint, everyone can understand. Shen Guo regretted his marriage, but when King Zhou Xiao ascended the throne, he vowed to return to the throne in the future and be in the same vein as King Xianyi. The world is unpredictable, but what if this is the case? Didn't you Shen Guo deeply offend the future Zhou Tianzi? Besides, Wang Zihui is the eldest son of the real filial piety, in case it is ...... in the future Who said that Chen's daughter can't be a queen?

Because of this, although Shenhou knew about this, he could only pinch his nose and accept the fact that his stepwife was not a concubine. In the final analysis, it is always his mother's family who does not do it authentically, and if in the past, Shenhou mentioned this sore spot, he could only endure the grievances. But today, she didn't plan to endure it.

"Why did the husband bother to talk about this? Things in the world are unpredictable, and it is always the eldest sister-in-law who regrets her marriage first, and then there are later things. What's more, if I am not married to my father, my father insists on this, and what can I do with my daughter? However, the matter of the concubine mentioned by the husband is indeed a loss of woman's morality. In this way, the concubine already has a way to relieve her husband's worries."

"Oh?" Shen Hou raised his eyebrows: "What can you do?" Let's hear it."

"The son of Chu usurped himself as the king, and the Son of Heaven could not accept the kingdom of his in-laws. But the world is so big, not only Jianghan! Why don't you look at the whole world, the Central Plains, the princes, why is it difficult to choose a few companions?"

Shenhou only felt that his eyes lit up, who said it wasn't? Why do you have to only stare at the few vassal states of Jianghan that are not surnamed Ji?

"Madame said so, has someone chosen one?"

Shen Concubine smiled: "The concubine's maiden family, Chen Guo, said that he was willing to give his daughter as a wife and marry with his daughter. Coupled with Ji Guo, since Ji Jiang's second concubine, Ji Hou felt deeply panicked, and he was willing to accompany his own daughter, let's select two or three elegant and wise daughters in the uncles' families, and make up for five, wouldn't it be enough?"

Shenhou frowned and thought for a while, and raised an objection: "Ji Guo is also surnamed Jiang, so there are too many women with the surname Jiang, it seems inappropriate. Besides, if there is no daughter in the Jianghan countries, I am afraid that my Shen Kingdom will also be discussed by all countries in the future. In this way, Luo Guo is willing to give a daughter, just because they and Chu both belong to the surname "Mi", and the widow is hesitating. From this point of view, it is precisely because of the same surname that they did not marry Chu back then, but it is a good thing."

Shen Fei shrugged her nose nonchalantly: "In this way, Luo Qi is counted as one."

When the first snow came, Shen Jiang's list of companions was finally finalized. In addition to his two uncles and sisters, the rest of the princes have cousin Chen Fei, Luo Jun's daughter Luo Mi, and Ji Hou's sister are ranked fourth and called Ji Jiang, in addition, the daughter of Yang Zi also came to fill the number...... There are already five escorts at full count, which is not a few

Only then did the Shenhou couple put their minds at ease and buried themselves in preparing their daughter's various dowries.

According to the ancient custom, the last day of the New Year Festival is to gather for a feast of wine. "Nian" is a far-reaching and most important festival, and the method is also very long and exquisite: the wax moon begins to pray to the heavens and the earth to report the year, the beginning of the "year" is the family to enjoy the family, and the next few days gradually extend to the relatives of the clan, the "year" in the (later generations called the Lantern Festival) community fire, permeate the village community and a red fire, the end of the "year" is a gathering of guests and friends.

The important thing at the end of the year is that the winter period is really over, the spring cultivation is really coming, and finally getting together for a day to drink is open, which is extraordinary.

At the beginning of the "year", Zhao Bohu agreed with a group of friends such as Kui Duoyou and Rui Liangfu to have a drink at the end of the year in their mansion. Kui Duoyou had no intention of such a reception, so he excused himself and said with a smile: "Your mansion is busy with official affairs, so if you want to gather for a drink, come to my broken garden."

"Go to me, so as not to disturb my brother and sister." Kuizi hurried to Haojing before he had time to recuperate after giving birth, and every time he thought of this, Zhao Bohu's heart would always appear in the heart of his deceased wife Zhaoji The haggard and weak figure in the year or two before his death came, so whenever there was a drink, he would never come to the door to bother.

At the end of the year, there was a lot of rain and snow, and since the afternoon, there was a high car driving to the door of Kui Duoyou's mansion, but it was Uncle Mi, the head of the palace, who drove to pick it up. Kui Duoyou was not easy to be careless, so he informed Bei'er and other cronies to follow along.

Entering the mansion of the Duke of Zhao, the largest second courtyard was all set up with cowhide tents, more than 100 large cases were placed in dense turns, and more than 100 red silk wind lamps were hung in a circle, illuminating the large tent courtyard red. In the tent, the rain and snowflakes outside the sky are swaying and flying, and the fragrance of wine in the tent is full of crowns, which has a unique taste.

When Kui Duoyou was seated, Zhao Bohu announced the opening of the tripod loudly. After three rounds of drinking, it was dark, and when the celebrant was shouting and dancing on the stage, Pingyuan Jun pulled the placket of Rui Liangfu's clothes and pulled Kui Duoyou out of the courtyard tent.

The three of them walked around a large pool of frozen snow sculptures, and it was the third to enter the study. Before the three of them could sit down, the maid brought hot and fragrant tea.
