An arranged marriage is like "buying a cat through a cloth bag", the parties do not meet, and the quality depends on luck.

It's lucky to meet a reliable matchmaker, seeking a matchmaker, spending your life, if you meet a matchmaker who only recognizes money, I'm afraid you will regret it for life, black and white are reversed, and this kind of thing is extremely common in the world.

"Be affectionate, stop at courtesy. This is Confucius's initiative, and now that secular marriages have never met before marriage, how can there be true love, it is nothing more than being polite first, and then being affectionate, just ask how many marriages in the world are like empty shells, like walking corpses. How unbearable parents in the world are, leaving their children in endless pain. Merton cried out in pain.

The root cause of why sincere love stories were widely circulated once there was a sincere love story in ancient times was that they were too rare to be extraordinarily precious.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Merton's words are just a justification for his love affair, but a bloody fact makes everyone unable to refute, Merton's text directly unveils the beauty of worldly marriage, revealing the cruelest part of it, and everyone who reads it is silent.

However, this is not Merton's purpose, what really makes everyone nervous is the fifth type of marriage that Merton summarizes - marriage for sale.

"Marrying a daughter in a high-grade family, attaching importance to family background, talent, and character, marrying a daughter in a low-grade family, asking for nothing but finances, parents who are greedy for money, and determining a son-in-law with a bride price, is like buying something in the market." Merton's words are so sharp that they make people lose face.

In the feudal era, the idea of preference for sons over daughters was particularly serious, and many families thought that raising daughters was not a cost-effective thing, and even disregarded it as losing money.

Under this kind of thinking, when many families marry their daughters, they often use the amount of money as the basis, and whichever family has the highest bride price, they will marry their daughters to whichever family, just like buying and selling goods.

In "The Theory of Hidden Husbands: Judgment of Lawsuits", it is mentioned that in the Han Dynasty, some female families actually put their daughters "one daughter and several families" in order to be greedy for money, and finally made trouble in the government, which became a joke at that time.

However, this trend did not stop because of this, but in the Tang Dynasty it became more and more intense, not only a woman and several family affairs are endless, but the man in order to fight for marriage, take the initiative to increase the number of things happening from time to time, and even greedy parents for money to sell cardamom girls to the elderly abound, the Mojia Village was repeatedly humiliated, even if the marriage has been negotiated, but because the bride price is not enough, how much marriage has been missed.

"This money is the wealth of sin, built on the pain and blood of children." Merton's words made everyone feel cold, and under the question, how can you feel at ease even if you take this kind of money to buy your daughter.

"Sixth, parents interfere in marriage, peacocks fly southeast, and ......wander for five miles."

"Peacock Flying Southeast" is a well-known Yuefu poem for those who read, based on the love story of Jiao Zhongqing and his wife Liu Lanzhi, which is actually a tragedy of parents interfering in marriage.

In this era of only parents' orders, the opinions of parents can be said to be a word for marriage, and I don't know how many human tragedies have been caused.

"Red crisp hands, Huang Teng wine. The city is full of spring palace wall willows. The east wind is evil, and the joy is thin. A melancholy, a few years away. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Spring is as old as ever, and people are empty and thin. Tear stains are red and silky. Peach blossoms fall, idle pond pavilion. Although the mountain league is here, it is difficult to trust the brocade book. Momomo. ”

People with the same fate as Jiao Zhongqing in history, I am afraid I have to mention a word person, that is Lu You, Lu You also repaired his wife Tang Wan because of his mother's interference, so that he regretted it for life.

In later generations, Tang Wan and Lu You are close relatives, and now the Mo family has already married close relatives, so even if the historical trajectory remains unchanged, the two cannot become husband and wife. Red Crisp Hands" was written, and it can be regarded as not letting this word sink.

"The second word?"

In the Chongwen Pavilion, Li Chengqian looked at the hairpin head phoenix of the ink magazine and sighed.

Everyone originally thought that "Qingyu Case. Although Yuan Xi was good, it was a flash in the pan, but I didn't expect that just a few days later, Merton would make the same popular song.

"Using ancient poems as new words, Brother Mo is really talented."

What made Li Chengqian sigh even more was that Merton's poem was a second creation on "Peacock Flying Southeast".

Needless to say, the status of "Peacock Flying Southeast" in literature, how dare ordinary people continue to be mink, which will only increase the laughing stock, but Merton's hairpin head phoenix is very compatible with "Peacock Flying Southeast", and it does not fall behind at all.

"No, there's a third word." Li Tai shook his head with a full taste.

I saw that Morton then wrote the same article "Hairpin Phoenix" in Liu Lanzhi's tone.

"The world is thin, people are evil, and the rain sends the dusk flowers to fall. The wind is dry, the tears are remnant, I want to write my heart, and I lean on the oblique column alone. Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!

People are different, today is not yesterday, and the sick soul is often like a swing. The sound of the horn is cold, the night is dark, I am afraid of people asking questions, and I pretend to be happy with tears. Deceive! Deceive! Hide!"

Li Tai saw the second hairpin head phoenix, speechless for a long time, the two words complement each other, telling a love tragedy from the perspective of men and women, which makes people sigh.

What caused such a love tragedy is naturally self-evident, and it is naturally an arranged marriage.

Li Tai and Li Chengqian couldn't help but glance at each other, for the younger generation, they were naturally full of longing for their love, but if it was really like what Morton said in the article, they didn't see each other before marriage and interfered wantonly, and they suddenly shuddered.

At this moment, a hundred of the two agreed with Merton's point of view, but when they thought of Merton's abandonment of Changle and argued for the woman who had not yet appeared, they suddenly snorted coldly.

The Mohists believe that marriage is a sacred thing, related to the fate of men and women's lives, how can it be dominated by others, and Dun believes that although the words of the parents are essential, the men and women are the final decision. Therefore, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the willingness of both parties are the great goodness of humanity. ”

Of course, Merton did not dare to call the concept of free love in later generations, for fear that once it was proposed, it would add to it. On the basis of the words of the matchmaker of his parents, Merton opened a small opening for both men and women to decide, which is a great step forward.

"The orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker are consensual."

Countless people read this, and their eyes couldn't help but light up, if secular marriage can be like this, it not only takes into account secular etiquette, but also solves the disadvantages of arranged marriage, which makes people can't help but applaud.

"Mo Jiazi's words are also very good?"

All the people in front of the ink magazine nodded their heads and praised, just ask, who in the world does not want to have a happy marriage, if you can make your own decisions and choose a person you love to grow old together, it will be the wish of your life.

However, how can we make both men and women voluntarily meet and interact before marriage, so that Quan Wanji's criticism of Merton's private meeting with women is naturally self-defeating.
