Chapter 220 The lack of traditional culture is distressing!
"Officials, you can't mess around again in the future. If you don't consider yourself, you should also consider your child who has not been born in your stomach. What if you have something to do if my child and I are? What if there is Zhenniang and so many people in our Lijiazhuang?"
On the official road back to Lanxi, Li Xiao accompanied Wanniang to sit in the ox cart.
The person who pulled the cart was an old yellow cow. This cow was originally a cow from the Li family. Because I bought thousands of new cows this year, the old cow was honored to retire and no longer had to plow the land. It was only occasionally when Wanniang and Zhenniang sister-in-law got off the car when they were on Lanxi Street.
Although the old ox pulls a cart slowly, it also has the advantage of being slow, that is, it is stability. After all, cars these days do not have shock absorption systems and the roads are not smooth.
"What my wife said is that she will not mess around for her husband in the future." Women always have to coax her. This time, she was jailed for six days, and Wan Niang was really worried.
"Official, you see, my body is getting more and more inconvenient now. Moreover, the official is now the lord of the court, and our family is already a small family." Wanniang said as she held her husband's hand.
Li Xiao lowered his head and looked at Wan Niang. Why did this sound a little wrong?
"Wanniang, what do you want to say?"
"I mean that officials should take a small person, or neighbors should also say that I am ignorant."
"Well? Wanniang, why did you have such an idea?"
Wan Niang raised her head, "Actually, this matter should be done long ago. It's all my fault, so it's been delayed until now."
Taking a concubine, the wife advises her husband to take a concubine.
This seems to be something that people in later generations cannot imagine. After all, people in later generations strictly abide by the social standards of monogamy.
If you cheat, have an affair, an extramarital affair, or keep a mistress, you will be seriously criticized. If a man is having sex outside, even if he is just a show, he will make a fuss when his wife finds out. What's more, let's ask his wife to take the initiative to help her husband find a mistress.
"Madam, isn't it good for us to do this now? I'm enough with you."
"Officials, our family is now prosperous. Now the official has to be named a baron and become an official. As an official, he will take concubines. If there is only one concubine in the family, it will be a disastrous. What's more, our Li family has always been a poor family. If there are so many officials, he can also make more branches and leaves for the Li family as soon as possible."
Li Xiao’s first impression was that this was a trap and a proposition.
But how come Wanniang feels so sincere?
Can women really be so virtuous, so virtuous that they can give their husbands to other women to share?
After all, Wanniang was comforted and stopped talking about this.
Along the way, Li Xiao was cautious, afraid that he would say something wrong.
After finally returning to Lizhuang, Lanxi, everyone in the village naturally came to greet him, congratulations to the owner of the house for returning home.
"Teacher, what do you think Wanniang means? Could she doubt that there is something between me and the eldest princess? In fact, although the eldest princess came to me yesterday, it was also the care between friends, and it was really meaningless." Li Xiao asked Yang Dayan about his emotional doubts.
Yang Big Eyes smiled with a giggle.
"Miss Zhao has no other meaning. She just wants you to take a concubine. It's normal. A man should get married when he is old and a woman should get married when he is old. After this man has a family and a job, it is reasonable to take one or two concubines. As a wife, Mrs. Zhao is also the mistress of this family, so of course she has to take the initiative to consider it. Taking a concubine for her husband is just her duty. If Mrs. Zhao refuses, it is jealous, and this is a seven-point order."
The old master stroked his beard and said.
Li Xiao looked terrified, why is there such a thing?
No, no matter which dynasty, women should not tolerate other women, and possessiveness should not be only available to men.
He expressed his doubts, and Master Yang was even more confused.
"Why do women think this way? How can they think this way? It is natural for men to marry and take concubines. Except for those who have no money and no career, who can't afford to take concubines, who would not take concubines without family business?"
He said, "Yang Jian from the previous dynasty knows?"
"I know, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty." Li Xiao said.
"Yes, Yang Jian was Yang Zhong, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms in the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties. When he was young, his father Yang Zhong made the decision for him and married Dugu Xin, who was also one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms. "
Dugu Xin Li Xiao knew that his national father-in-law was the best father-in-law in history. In modern China, there were three sisters of the Song family who married Sun Dapao and Chiang Kai-shek and several awesome people. But during the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties, Dugu Xin was the best among all father-in-laws.
Dugu Xin has seven sons and seven daughters, and three daughters have become queens, and they are queens of three dynasties.
This Dugu Xin, who is said to be the most handsome man in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, has three daughters who become the empress of the Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties respectively. The eldest daughter is Empress Mingjing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the fourth daughter married Li Hu of the Eighth Pillar Kingdom, and is Li Yuan's father. After Li Yuan became the emperor, he posthumously named his father as emperor, and then posthumously named his mother as Empress Yuanzhen.
The seventh woman was Empress Wenxian of the Sui Dynasty, and this Empress Wenxian was Empress Dugu.
Yang Dayan stroked his beard and said, "This Yang Jian is amazing. He was born in the Eight-Pillar Country, but he finally usurped the throne of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Great Sui Dynasty. His civil and military achievements were quite impressive, but Yang Jian was a well-known person who was afraid of his wife. After he married Dugu as his wife, he no longer took concubines, and Dugu did not allow him to take concubines. Yang Jian gave birth to five sons and five daughters, all of which were born to Empress Dugu."
"Even after Yang Jian became the emperor, Dugu did not allow him to accept a concubine for many years. It was not until his later years that he had asked him to accept a few, but he was not allowed to be happy. Once, he took advantage of Empress Dugu's absence to be in the palace, but when Dugu came back, he killed the woman. Yang Jian was so angry that he rode out of the palace and ran for dozens of miles, and ran to an uninhabited river and cried bitterly."
Li Xiao smiled and said, "Why are you afraid to this extent? It's probably a legend of unofficial history?"
"Anyway, I don't know about the wild history, but Empress Dugu's reputation is not good. So, it's a matter of being pointed out by women who don't let her husband take a concubine. Fang Xuanling, the famous prime minister of the Zhenguan Dynasty of our Tang Dynasty, knows it? The prime minister for decades was the first prime minister of Zhenguan, but his wife Lu was also very powerful. Once, Taizong gave Fang Xuanling a few beautiful women, but Fang Xuanling did not dare to accept it."
"Why did Your Majesty say? Fang Xuanling said that his wife at home would not agree. So Taizong asked someone to give Lu a pot of wine, saying that if Lu refused to let her husband take a concubine, she would drink this pot of poisonous wine. As a result, Lu really drank the pot of wine without saying a word. After drinking it, he realized that the pot contained vinegar and not wine. When Taizong saw that Lu would rather drink poisonous wine than let her husband take a concubine, he had to take back the beauties. This is the origin of women's jealousy."
Monk Li Xiao was confused. "Didn't the jealous allusion to Wei Zheng and his wife Pei?"
"It is naturally the one who belongs to Fang Xiang and his wife Lu."
It is natural for men to take concubines. Not only can women not stop them, but they also have to take the initiative to help arrange them. This is their duty. Otherwise, it is jealousy, ignorance, and ignorance.
After hearing this, Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh that this is really a good virtue of our country. Why is it missing in the future? It's too inappropriate.
