Chapter 4 Layout (4)
Murong Nong, but he didn't notice Duan Ye's hesitant face at all, and he was still excited: \u2026\u2026 Lord Thorn Shi, my sister, although she is young, but her ambition is not small at all, hehehe, if you say something boastful, my sister is also a heroine among women at the moment, and she is the most compatible with adults.
Duan Ye adjusted his mood and said: Is Ling Mei willing to do it herself?
Yes? Murong Nong obviously didn't react.
I am. Duan Ye said patiently, this marriage is a big deal, it is related to a woman's life, you didn't ask Miss Murong what she meant?
Uh\u2026\u2026Murong Nong obviously didn't think of this, and said: This, it is natural for a woman to get married, and well, isn't this all the order of her parents, the words of the matchmaker?
Not in my case! Duan Ye said directly.
Yes? Murong Nong suddenly felt a little unbelievable, they all acted differently from ordinary people, and there were many incomprehensible things, could it be the same in this marriage?
Duan Ye said earnestly, everyone else is inferior to men, and all women marry and obey their parents' orders, but this is not possible in my place!
What do adults think is appropriate?
Since she is my wife, she must really want to marry me, not her father and brother who want her to marry me, do you understand?
Murong Nong nodded silently.
So, Brother Murong, to be honest, according to your situation and what I know, Ling Mei is indeed a good girl, but, with all due respect, I can't accept this way, if Ling Mei is really willing to tie the knot with me, I want to get her own words.
Wan Duan Ye gently picked up the teacup, the meaning is obvious, the words have come to this, it's all over, you can think about it yourself, I'm sending the guest!
Murong Nong shrugged his shoulders and had to stand up and say goodbye.
After Murong Nong left, Liu Yiru, bald Ling, Zheyan Nalan and a woman walked out of the back room, and for a while, the room was full of fragrant breeze, but the room was full of spring. It turned out that when Duan Ye and Murong Nong were talking, they were not at ease and kept eavesdropping in the back.
Duan Ye frowned, and said: A few of you, I don't know, you don't, that Murong Nong is very capable, but it is inconvenient for l, I tell you, you must have been discovered by l a long time ago!
Liu Yiru didn't have a word, Zheyan Nalan has been very favored recently, and she said with a heartfelt voice: What if she is discovered? What do you dare to do?
Duan Ye shook his head a little helplessly, this Zheyan Nalan, since he lived in the Thorn History Mansion, although he has not done a good thing with Duan Ye, he has completely regarded himself as Mrs. Duan. Moreover, the place where she came from is Ephesus! These places are different from other places. Liu Yiru is from Jiangnan, that place is naturally the peak of literary style, the bald hair spirit comes from the bald department, dealing with the Han people all the year round, the upper class of the tribe is seriously sinicized, and they also admire the Han culture, so the Han women's subtle xìngzi, bald spirit also knows a little, but sometimes I can't help but can't control it, and Nalan Xin and Jiangyu naturally don't have to, both of them are more subtle.
Only Na Zheyan Nalan is bold, dares to say anything, and has no scruples about his image, and he has been known to everyone in the Assassin's Mansion.
It's just that Duan Ye was too busy and neglected to discipline, and now it has become a fait accompli.
Now although Zheyan Nalan is dressed in satin, she looks like a Jiangnan woman, and even her hairstyle has been changed to a cute double sideburns, but looking at her bouncing appearance, there are really a lot of ladies who can pretend.
Ok ok. Duan Ye waved his hand, Murong Nong came today, it is a state matter, but since L wants to come to talk about marriage, it must also be a family matter, now Lan Xin has gone to find a master, Yu'er has gone to the Western Regions again, just a few of you are at home, I want to discuss with you first.
What else is there to discuss. Zheyan Nalan Dao, seeing that you are like that, it is clear that you just want to marry someone else.
How can I have! Duan Ye hurriedly shouted, didn't you hear, have we already rejected others?
Hum! Zheyan Nalan snorted heavily, do you think I don't understand? Tell you! I've already learned the idiom, you are a trick in your Han people, called wanting to capture the old indulgence! Hahaha, you know that the people of the Murong family really want to marry you, and you are not in a hurry anyway, so you deliberately want to hang L's appetite, right?
Duan Ye was terrified in his heart, and had to admit that this little girl saw it very accurately, and she still really had this idea.
Of course, he and Murong Nong are absolutely sincere, if the marriage leads to marrying an enemy, it will definitely not work, the person next to the pillow is not the same heart, how bad is that?
Moreover, the best result is that the marriage of the two, although it is a political marriage, but the two can really have feelings and love each other, it is too perfect, and even Duan Ye does not want to fall in love after getting married, but falling in love first and then getting married, so that with an emotional foundation, Duan Ye has the bottom in his heart.
Having said that, Zheyan Nalan's is not unreasonable, marriage, in essence, is doing business, people send their daughters, a big living person, of course you want to get something, you want to take it for nothing, that's definitely not possible.
But since it's a business, you can also pay off the money, and you can also sit on the ground and repay the money, depending on your ability, and if you want to catch it, it is indeed a tried and tested skill, and it will not change for thousands of years, why not use it?
But as soon as Zheyan Nalan's words came out, the three girls also looked at themselves in unison, their expressions were quite unkind, Duan Ye knew that this must not be admitted, because there was a very heavy matter, that is, a few of them, their own names had not yet been settled!
The issue of title is too heavy, before Duan Ye, he always thought that the ancients were polygamous, and only men had the ability and women were willing, so it wasn't as much as they wanted to marry, just as much?
But when Duan Ye really began to think about these questions and began to ask people for specific details, he realized how naïve he was.
In fact, in ancient China, in addition to primitive societies, once they entered a civilized society, after having written etiquette, it was never polygamy, but a monogamous and polygonal concubine system.
Because the wife is the person in charge of the family, she is the person who is marrying the Ming media and telling the ancestors of heaven and earth, her status is very high, and she represents the entire family on the wife's side, of course, she can't be lazy, as the old saying goes, the princes have no two concubines, which means that even the princes of the Son of Heaven cannot marry two wives at the same time. Therefore, there will generally only be one wife, and the others are concubines.
At this time, I realized that in fact, the reason for the concubine is not hǎo'sè, but for the sake of inheritance, because the child is too easy to die, if the child born to the wife dies, or cannot give birth to a son, what can you do if you don't take a concubine?
There is a clear line between wives and concubines. The status is completely different, in fact, generally speaking, the status of the wife and the husband is equal in terms of law and reason, and the wife has sacrificed to the heavens and ancestors before, so even after death, she also enters the clan tablet, and the children born to her are the heirs, and the sons can inherit the estate. But concubines are different, strictly speaking, they are not considered to be members of the family, but as items that can be bought and sold casually by the owner, just like a horse and a treasure knife. After the death of the concubine, it is not included in the clan tablet, and the children born to them are concubines and cannot be attacked, but they can share the family property. Unless in very special circumstances, that is, the wife has no son, then she can be a knight. But even if this happens, the mother's mother in the legal sense is still the father's wife, and she can only call her aunt if she cares about her own mother.
For this, Duan Ye hated it very much, so after Duan Ye's career just had a little foundation, after gaining a firm foothold in Dunhuang, he once convened his own women to a meeting, and at that time, everyone in his future family was equal, and there could be no such thing that violated people's common sense.
But later Duan Ye realized that he was a little too idealistic, in fact, the so-called three wives and four concubines later developed into one wife, two equal wives and four concubines, which is the specific practice of three wives and four concubines. And the reason why this is the case is precisely because the problem that Duan Ye is facing now has often faced in the past, that is, marriage.
Marriage is completely a political necessity, is it because people already have wives that you don't marry with others?
For the sake of political interests, it is still necessary to send the daughter.
But the problem is that if you send a woman to be a concubine in the past, of course they won't have any opinions, but in terms of your own face, you can't hang it. Besides, his daughter followed someone else, the purpose is nothing more than to be able to influence her husband after being favored, such as blowing the wind on the pillow or something, and then seeking benefits for her family.
But a concubine has no status, and her words have no weight, so how can she talk about it?
But if you want to change the monogamy system for many years, it is impossible. So the wise ancients began to be flexible. You married a wife before, that was Ming Media is marrying, we have nothing to say, she started early, and she should still be a wife.
But we are also a big family, should we marry you and be small? That doesn't work, absolutely not. Just, just marry and be a wife, right? The so-called flat wife means that you have a legal status, recognizing that you are a member of the family, not a concubine, and you have to write a letter of divorce to dissolve the marriage, and you can't give it away like a concubine, but your status is still lower than that of a wife.
Since it is a marriage, it is likely not to be a one-time marriage, and for the sake of convenience, it is generally two. The so-called law of one wife, two equal wives and four concubines, that is, three wives and four concubines.
But what is certain is that the position of the wife in Duan Ye's heart, no matter what, will never be left to the person who marries him, this is something that you don't have to think about. ~
