Chapter 129: The Second Greatest Wizard in the World
"Son-in-law!"
When Lu Dashi heard this, he couldn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood.
In this world, even the son-in-law has come out, how can this make others live!
……
When Zhou Dingbang said the word son-in-law, everyone's faces became bad.
……
Son-in-law!
There is a way of marriage, that is, the man "marries" to the woman's family, and the food and clothing are provided by the woman, and when he gives birth to a child, he also follows his mother's surname. This kind of marriage is commonly known as "inverted door", and there is also a scientific name called "Son-in-law", and the man who marries into the woman's family is called "Son-in-law".
What does the word "redundant" mean? This word is next to the word "shell", shell used to be a kind of physical currency, in the Chinese characters but with the word "shell" next to almost all related to money, such as "wealth", "goods", "capital" and so on, the word "redundant" is no exception.
"Money, material money", that is, the meaning of taking things as collateral for money.
In ancient times, poor families sold their children to high-ranking families as slaves and maids, and such children were called "sons", that is, people who were taken as collateral.
Why is the man's inverted door called "entering the house"? If the man's family is in difficulty and he can't afford to marry his wife, he has to take himself as a hostage and mortgage it to the woman's family.
It can be seen from the word "redundant" that it is impossible for a rich and handsome person to be a son-in-law, not so poor that a man will not embark on the road of inverted insertion.
It is said that in the Qin Dynasty, the rich second generation married his wife and lived separately from his parents, and the poor second generation went to other people's homes as sons-in-law.
In the feudal society of "men are inferior to women, and husbands are wives", men have to set up a household to support the family business, if they send themselves as hostages to the woman's house to live, how can they hold their heads up! The word "redundant" also has an extended meaning, that is, "superfluous additions", fat, redundant, and cumbersome are all redundant things, and the same is true for sons-in-law.
In short, a door-to-door son-in-law is like a wreck born on the skin, and it is naturally annoying to have something that should not be had.
The door-to-door son-in-law is not good, as collateral, you first have to work hard for the woman's family.
Secondly, when you arrive at the woman's house, you are the son of someone else, not only do you have to have your wife's surname, but the baby you give birth to must also have your wife's surname.
It's okay if you don't have status, if you want to be a son-in-law in the Qin and Han dynasties, you have to risk your life.
This is by no means sensational. At that time, in order to supplement the shortage of soldiers, the imperial court often increased the source of military soldiers in addition to the formal military service system.
How many kinds of people will be drafted to serve in the frontier, and which ones? Officials, murderers, merchants, and sons-in-law who have committed crimes.
These people were all slave soldiers, they enjoyed the lowest treatment, they were not given food when they ate, and they had to rush forward as human shields when they attacked the city, which was very miserable.
In ancient times, no man was willing to be a son-in-law unless it was absolutely necessary.
If you want to get out of the pile of sons-in-law, it's really difficult.
Zhou Dingbang also sighed, "From ancient times to the present, a person who is a son-in-law is almost a waste."
But Zhang Haogu did not abolish it, but mixed it up in the Xinhou Mansion. ”
When Zhou Dingbang said this, he felt a little thirsty, so he paused, picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip, and when he looked up again, he saw that the people at the table were looking at him intently.
Zhou Dingbang smiled and nodded before continuing.
Zhang Haogu has never come out since he entered the Xinhou Mansion that day, until half a month later, the Xinhou held a banquet to entertain the heads of the major wealthy families in Beijing.
Although everyone doesn't know why Xinhou wants to hold a big banquet, who dares not to give Xinhou's face.
On that day, the guests of the Xinhou Mansion were like clouds, and the carriage was like a dragon, as lively as a festival.
On this day, the wine and food at the banquet were very rich, but everyone was a person who had eaten enough delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they were not interested in these, but a small jar of wine in the middle of each table attracted everyone's attention.
You know, in the middle of each table, it should be the best dish on this table, but now there is a small jar of wine, which makes the guests very strange.
