I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 108 One Wife and Four Wives

shy?Maybe.

Don't have the guts to look at each other?nonexistent.

What Zhiyao saw was a girl with good facial features. She didn't feel amazing at a glance. Her figure was not so easy to observe because of her kneeling.

But right? It's just a 14-year-old girl, she hasn't fully grown, and I'll talk about the figure in a few years.

Fenying already knew Zhiyao, the third generation of the Zhi family, beforehand.

Of course, she didn't ask for it deliberately. Firstly, the daughter of a noble family needs to know a few men from prominent families, at least one of them. Whether she wants to know more is up to herself; And for doing things too perfectly, his reputation has long spread widely.

The little girls of the state of Jin, as long as they are not surnamed Ji, know that Zhiyao led the army to defeat the princes twice, especially the capital city of "Linzi" in the state of Qi, and they all dream of marrying such a person as Zhiyao one day. big hero.

In the era of being extremely well-matched, more little girls know that they have no chance, but this does not prevent them from fantasizing, and it is still under the premise that they don't know what Zhiyao looks like.

For the women of the state of Jin, beauty and ugliness are very secondary things, and being able to fight well is the best life partner.

Don't blame the women in the Jin State for being too realistic. Born in the military-oriented Jin State, if you can't go to war, you have no future at all, even if you can't even maintain your family business; It means that even a small family has the opportunity to develop.

The Xun family is a family with a long history. After several generations of genetic improvement, Zhiyao will not be ugly anyway. If you want to say that she is handsome, it depends on her aesthetics.

In fact, it is good to have good facial features. Men in the Spring and Autumn Period were handsome or not based on their beards.

Zhiyao, who is only 15 years old, of course has no beard, even if she grows a beard, she only starts after the crowning ceremony.

Fen Ying, who came from a big family, does not need to do heavy physical labor, and does not have to be exposed to the wind and the sun frequently, so her skin must be fairer than ordinary women.

It happened that the aristocrats in the Spring and Autumn Period saw that a woman's beauty was related to her skin color. If her facial features were not crooked, and she didn't have buck teeth, she couldn't be ugly if she knew how to dress up.

So, is there makeup in the Spring and Autumn Period?This question is a bit of that.

Since men won the main social status, whether women look good has become very important. They will try to make themselves look more beautiful, and thus the knowledge of makeup has emerged.

Making yourself more beautiful is a technique, and this technique is unlikely to become a prominent knowledge due to various reasons. Families with conditions will definitely pass on the knowledge of how to become more beautiful from generation to generation.

Zhishen was chatting with Zhao Yang, but most of the time it looked a bit like he was holding on to parry.

If Zhishen had already become one of the "Qing" of the Jin Kingdom, seeing that he couldn't resist Zhao Yang's aura, he would definitely be crushed to death, right?
"How?" Zhao Bolu asked a little bit treacherously.

Zhi Yao smiled heartily at Fen Ying, shifted her gaze to Zhao Bolu, and said, "Good."

How else could it be?
Can the wives of children from big families like them judge their value from beauty and ugliness?
The marriage of the children of big families does not mention the value, in fact, it is playing hooligans, which will appear extremely hypocritical.

It’s just that the value brought by the marriage of a big family is only useful if both parties recognize it. For example, Zhao Bolu’s fiancée is Wei Lu’s eldest daughter, Ying Ji. The problem is that the two families should end the covenant, and there is no hesitation at all because of the marriage between them. .

It must be mentioned that several generations of noble families in the state of Jin have been married for several generations. For example, the first wife of the Zhao family and Zhao Wu is from the Xun family, and the Wei, Han, Fan and Xun families also have a long history. In terms of their marriage history, when did they ever become soft-hearted?
So, marriage can only appear closer when there is a basis for cooperation. Once the conflict of interests between the two parties is too great and the conflict breaks out, it is a joke to say that they will be merciful because of the marriage relationship.

Everyone knows what marriage is all about. In fact, it is also due to the rigid demand of being well-matched. To put it bluntly, there is no such thing as "marrying under the sun", and "marrying under the sun" will often appear because of the search for talents.

Seeing that Zhishen took out a paper booklet to Zhao Yang, Zhiyao stopped talking with Zhao Bolu.

That booklet is purely a gift list, and there is absolutely no such thing as a birthday horoscope.

Nowadays, marriage does not talk about judging the horoscope of the date of birth. It should be recognized by the ancestors and blessed by the gods or spirits from all directions. There will be "witches" who collect money to do things.

Engagement does not require the presence of a "witch", but there must be a "witch" in the presence of a wedding.The "shaman" in some countries has a lot of power, and the "shaman" in Jin country is doing red and white things.

Zhao Yang focused on reading the gift list, not the list of gift lists, but the paper book itself that can carry words.

"This thing... is the paper that Yao got by chance?" Zhao Yang asked.

Zhishin, who felt uncomfortable from the inside out, replied with a smile, "Exactly."

It has been several years since paper was "invented" by Zhiyao, and there is no external sales at all, and there is no such thing as promotion, only a small amount will be given to the good family.

Zhao Yang put away the gift list, and said solemnly: "Yao created this thing, you can eat it with blood."

In other words, only Zhiyao invented paper, and the technology of making paper has not been cut off, and future generations will remember him well.

Hearing those words, Zhiyao's pupils shrank for a while, and she thought to herself: "As expected of Zhao Yang, his eyesight is too sharp!"

Zhao Yang took out a silk book, which contained Zhao's gift list.

Try to communicate with each other with the same value!Not only in terms of interpersonal communication, but marriage should also be like this, otherwise what is being discussed is not marriage, but a naked business.

Silk is a cloth, more precisely a silk fabric.Before paper was invented, it could be written on some very special occasions.

"I'm very happy with this thing, please send it as many as you can." Zhao Yang was talking about paper.

In the past, the relationship between Zhi Shi and Zhao Shi may not have been so tense. There must have been some etiquette mutual gifts, but paper has never appeared in the list of gifts that Zhi Shi gave to Zhao Shi.

Several years have passed, and the production capacity of Lao Zhijia's paper has long been sufficient, not only for domestic supply, but also for takeaway in large quantities.

just right?Lao Zhi's family is not short of money for selling paper, and then Zhiyao's mind is not here, and his follow-up application of paper stays in the study of paper armor.

After exchanging the gift list, Zhishen told Zhiyao that it's time to show the real engagement token.

Zhiyao would not be hypocritical, stood up generously, walked in front of Fen Ying, turned around and took the bundle of silk and satin from her husband, and handed it to Fen Ying who was kneeling and standing upright with a smile .

There is nothing wrong with men doing this pose, but women will look beautiful if they are "talented".

It wasn't that Fenying had to kneel to receive the engagement token handed over by Zhiyao, it was simply that Zhiyao left too quickly and didn't have time to stand up.

Lao Zhi's family has a long textile heritage. Each generation of clan members is engaged, and the gifts are related to cloth, but there are differences in the degree of preciousness.

Fenying saluted Zhiyao, and then passed the silk she got to an elder sister or younger sister of the clan next to her.

This must be the person who will be married as a concubine. She stares at Zhiyao boldly, and when Zhiyao looks over, she will smile openly.

Another girl handed a Gebu plate to Fen Ying, and then Fen Ying passed the plate to Zhi Yao.

Zhiyao, who got the things in her hands, didn't have to guess at all. The engagement token of Zhao's women must be in the shape of a horse. With Fenying's status, it would be a bronze horse puppet.

So, what is the inheritance of a family, they will attach great importance to it, and tokens are generally creations related to inheritance.

After exchanging engagement tokens, Zhiyao returned to her seat holding the plate. The weight of the plate proved that it was definitely a bronze horse puppet.It's just because the puppet is covered by a cloth that you can't see what the shape of the puppet is.

The engagement ceremony has been basically completed here, and the rest is to go back after eating.

Before waiting for dinner, Zhishen continued chatting with Zhao Yang, and one could imagine how uncomfortable Zhishen felt when he had to continue chatting with Zhao Yang; juniors would have their own space.

A group of women have already retreated first.

Zhiyao stayed in the lobby for a while and was greeted by Zhao Bolu to go out.

"I never thought that you and I would become a family." When Zhao Bolu met Zhiyao, he felt that they had similar interests, and he was really happy that Zhiyao could become his brother-in-law.

Zhiyao glanced at Zhao's little brothers who looked like followers, glanced at Zhao Wuxie, met Zhao Bolu's eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't talk anymore, where is Fen, hurry up!" lead the way."

Before eating, it is very reasonable for Zhiyao and Fen Ying to get together, it is a necessary communication after confirming the marriage contract.

Zhao Bolu was not annoyed by Zhiyao's unceremoniousness, instead he let out a burst of "haha" laughter.

A group of little kids from the Zhao family also laughed, and they began to gather around and ask Zhiyao about everything, and the most common question was about the battle.

Zhiyao didn't have to talk to a bunch of little kids at all, so she had some patience and teased them for a while.

In the end, Zhao Bolu, who still couldn't stand it anymore, drove away a group of brats and brought Zhiyao to another yard.

There are already a bunch of little girls waiting here.

When they saw Zhiyao and Zhao Bolu approaching, they quickly stood up and saluted.

At this time, Fenying had already changed into another outfit, and she was encouraged by a group of sisters to approach Zhiyao with a sweet smile.

Of course Zhiyao responded with a smile, and then looked generously at the girls who seemed to be dowry.

Zhao's main marriage was Fenying, and there were four wives as dowry, one of whom was from Xiaozong Liang's family.

The girl who smiled boldly at Zhiyao in the lobby just now is from the Liang family.

Marry a wife, and have four concubines?This kind of thing is the norm in Spring and Autumn.

It's not necessarily the benefits that the woman gives to the man. It's mainly because of the worry that the daughter will not have someone to talk to after she gets married, and then it's a custom used by a big family to form a close relationship.

What does Zhiyao think about such a "beautiful thing"?To speak conscientiously, there is no opinion!
