Chapter 25: I accidentally became warm and was stolen (Part 1)

Speaking of which, the two girls who were dowed by Xun and Zhiji were a bit confused. Among the three sisters, Zhongxing is Zhiji's niece, and Xun Ji is Zhiji's aunt.

This is an evil deed that violates etiquette and law in other countries, but it is different in Jin State during the Spring and Autumn Period.

When Duke Wen of Jin went into exile and returned to the former Qin State to marry his nephew, Duke Huai of Jin, his niece-in-law Huaiying, to him as a condition to send troops to support his succession. Duke Wen of Jin was a little reluctant. At this time, Minister Hu Yan told him some truth and specifically analyzed etiquette and law. The long-term discussion summed up in one sentence: Other people's generation has nothing to do with him, and as long as they have no direct blood relationship with him, they can marry him.

Since Duke Wen of Jin, Jin State has not paid much attention to the ranking of generations within the family. Many families of nobles and nobles have long history, and people of the same age even have several generations of generations, but they have no scruples when they dowry: they only seek to be of the same age, regardless of the generations. When they enter the same room, they call each other "sisters and sisters" intimate.

The whole Spring and Autumn Period remained silent because Jin was the hegemony, soon this behavior became popular in the Warring States Period. Although Confucius later did not express his opinion on the surface, he occasionally praised Duke Wen of Jin in other aspects, "It is true (trustful)" and "civil but not upright (crawling but not upright)"...

Zhao Wu turned around and asked Shi Xiu: "Do I go back to Xintiancheng to attend the funeral?"

Shi Yan shook his head: "No, the Lord is a 'I (the border person who lives on the border line)'. If you enter the capital, unless you are alone. Otherwise, if you lead troops in without the permission of the king, you will be rebelling - but in the current situation, can the Lord pass the 'Yang (the three fiefdoms south of Zhaocheng)' without the escorts?"

Shi Xiu agreed: "Qi Ce is still in the capital. If the emperor agrees to enter the city, or Xun, Zhongxing, Zhi family thinks that the emperor can enter the city. Qi Ce will send a letter. Without his letter, the emperor should mourn at home... According to the etiquette, the subordinate asked his wife to leave the room and live together (separate from Zhao Wu)."

Zhiji also wiped a few pitiful tears and nodded frequently: "I know... but that house is too warm and the bed is too soft and comfortable... Why not, a few of us sisters are still living in the house and ask the husband to move to another house to live in."

The teacher raised his face and said sternly: "Where are such rules?"

Shi Xiu had such a stern voice and stern expression. In the Spring and Autumn Period, women had a low status. Although the three sisters Zhiji were Zhao Wu's wife, the retainers must respect them in terms of etiquette, if they commit extraordinary acts that violate the interests of Zhao, the retainers have the power to restrain them and even imprison them - of course, this requires Zhao Wu's permission.

Zhiji begged again: "Or, let's build the same house for us. I really miss the thick walls and the wide bed..."

Zhao Wu couldn't bear it and said to Xi Ni: "Xuan, it's already winter. If the three ladies are pregnant and live in the wooden house, that's not good."

Shi Xiu still wanted to persevere. Shi Yan, who had always liked to collide with Zhao Wu, stood on Zhao Wu's side. He pulled Shi Xiu's sleeve hard and turned around and left without saying a word. Depending on the situation, the two of them disagreed, but as long as things were done, they would not object.

Zhao Wu suddenly remembered something and immediately asked: "Yan, don't you leave, aren't we short of food? When will the hunting operation start?"

Shi Yan turned around and replied: "This year's hunting operation has begun - I guess news will come today, and the hunting team has already set off in advance."

This hunting is also a practical test of new weapons. Zhao Wu wanted to follow him, intending to observe the actual combat effectiveness of these weapons nearby. Although the newly married Zhao Wu was a little greedy for bed, since he came to this world, there have been people following him everywhere, and he is always unfree. Moreover, he has never been to any place, so he wanted to take this opportunity to go out and take a look at the fields in the Spring and Autumn Period.

However, there was no word "hunting" in the Spring and Autumn Period. In this era, in the large-scale hunting activities held in late autumn and early winter, feudal lords participated by the "Autumn Pierce" or "Winter Hunting", which was called "military assembly". Without a monarch ordering military assembly, it was an attempt to rebel. However, if the hunting activities were simply organized by retainers and the lord did not come forward, it was an ordinary "social hunting" to obtain food, and the monarch had no right to interfere.

Zhao Wu didn't know these differences, and Shi Yan couldn't tell him the subtlety contained in it. Unfortunately, Zhao Wu's insistence, Shi Yan verbally agreed to Zhao Wu to participate in the hunting, but after all, he had some concerns, so he took advantage of Zhao Wu's energy to send the team out quietly with the newlywed wife.

Zhao Wu muttered dissatisfiedly: "I went out this time. I planned to collect some rock specimens everywhere except hunting, but now there is no hope. I will cover the fields immediately. If I want to go out, I will not have to wait for next year?!"

Shi Yan stood there and bowed to Zhao Wu: "The Lord wants to collect rocks, but now it's time to deliver the letter. I will send someone to chase the team immediately so that the soldiers can pay attention to the rocks along the way."

Zhao Wu quickly instructed: "Don't have ordinary stones, the more special ones are, the more needed ones are - I hope that those who collect stones will remember the location where the stones were found so that they can tell me back."

Shi Yan agreed from a distance and led Shi Xiu to escape. As soon as he left Zhao Wu's courtyard, Shi Yan immediately ordered the warriors to block the courtyard: "The Lord is mourning, and he is sad and does not see any guests. In addition, the slaves who serve are not allowed to enter and exit at will. Everything is delivered to the door and notify the people inside to take it..."

Shi Xiu shook his head lightly: "This arrangement is made, although the people outside cannot hear the news inside, it is inconvenient for the Lord to let the wife and the Lord work in person, it is not appropriate!"

Shi Yan thought about it, called Nu Chongqiao and reminded him: "Go and serve."

Chong Qiao was a little embarrassed: "Sir Qing Yan, it's so big inside, how can I do it alone?"

Shi Yan and other four ministers were equivalent to the "family ministers" of the feudal lords. In addition to them, Liaoqing, Zhulian, Lin Hu and warriors were equivalent to "Guofu", who was qualified to drive a chariot and follow the armed guards on the lords. Therefore, Chong Qiao, who was a slave, should respect him as "Qing Yan". Yan was also Zhao Wu's teacher, and Zhao Wu must respect him as "Shi Yan". "Gongsun" who was in a relationship with Zhao Wu must also use the same title as Zhao Wu to show respect.

Shi Yan's face sank, and Shi Xiu immediately persuaded: "What she said is right. In such a big yard, more than ten people can't take care of..."

"Idiot!" Shi Yan took off Shi Xiu's pull and scolded: "Slave is a slave, he has a stupid head. If I hadn't seen the Lord pay attention to you, would I let you come? Now the Lord is leaving the house, and his wife cannot be approached in the ritual system. But the ritual system allows maids to serve..."
