Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 479
Swimming in the deep pool is still very interesting. After all, although Li You's home has a bathhouse, this kind of swimming is really rare. The girls have a great time playing with swimming rings.

"Fifth brother, come here quickly, take me to the depths to play." Li Mingda called Li You loudly.

However, at this time, Xiao Yan, who also felt the joy of swimming, also said loudly to Li You: "Li Lang, take me there. As long as you take me there, I will kiss you later."

"Okay." Li You immediately cheered up and said with a smile: "There is a surprise! Is there a price increase?"

"Cut." Hearing that Xiao Yan used a kiss as a condition, Li Mingda didn't take it seriously: "What is this? I'll kiss you ten times, fifth brother, take me there!"

"Si, you are too cruel." Xiao Yan was speechless.

The other women also showed smiles, and at this moment, Li Heng suddenly shouted: "Daddy, take me there, I'll kiss you a hundred times."

"Haha.!" Finally, everyone couldn't help laughing out loud.

While Li You was swimming happily in the deep pool with his family, in the palace of Chang'an, a team of ten hundred cavalry escorted a carriage and slowly walked out of the palace.

Sitting here is Xu Hui, who is Li Shimin's favorite concubine at this time. Although she is only filling her capacity now, she is already deeply loved by Li Shimin.

You must know that the status of Chong Rong in the palace is not very high.

The harem hierarchy of the Tang Dynasty is: Concubine Gui, Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, Concubine De, Concubine Hui are wives; Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, Chongyuan There are nine concubines (one for each of the above); nine for each of Jieyu, Meiren, and Cairen are 27 royal wives; 27 each for Baolin, Yunu, and Cainu are 81 imperial wives.

Although Xu Hui was only one of the nine concubines at this time, she was able to go out of the palace to visit her relatives, and she was guarded by a hundred horses.

It's rare for Xu Hui to be so favored after entering the palace just this year. In fact, there is another talented person in the palace who is also glamorous and charming, but Li Shimin still doesn't like it.

This talented person has been a talented person for a lifetime in the Zhenguan era.

Xu Hui's motorcade walked out of the palace, walked through Fangshi, and walked out of Chang'an. At the same time, the Cui family was also experiencing a life and death. I don't know if you still remember Cui Xiuniang, the eldest son of the Boling Cui family. ?
Originally, the Cui family planned to marry this Cui Xiuniang to Li You, but who knew that Cui Xiuniang didn't have any feelings for Li You, Quan Zhixi became Li You's princess, and Cui Xiuniang was directly asked to go home.

After returning home, at first Cui Xiuniang thought that she could live freely all day like before, but who knew that soon, the family asked Cui Xiuniang to marry.

Some people will say, why should I marry, I don't have to marry.

Hey. This is a correct view in modern times, but in ancient times, the status of women was really not very high. Don’t think that the status of women in the family is so high. When you pet you, you feel love, but when the family needs it When you are young, you also need to be dedicated.

For 5000 years in China, before the imperial examination system was perfected, most of the talents in the whole world came from aristocratic families, especially from the end of Han Dynasty to the beginning of Tang Dynasty.

It is truly true that "there is no dynasty with a thousand years, but a family with a thousand years", so how do the aristocratic families survive for thousands of years and survive the dynasty replacements again and again?

The first is to pay attention to the education of the family's children to ensure that the family can produce talents from generation to generation.It takes ten years to grow trees, and a hundred years to cultivate people. In ancient times, the aristocratic families that can pass on for a long time are all families that attach great importance to the education of their children. Talent and knowledge are the foundation of the aristocratic family's inheritance.

For example, the famous Wenxi Pei family, for more than a thousand years, has been in charge of military affairs, and there have been great men on behalf of them. There have been 59 prime ministers and 59 generals; , advocating literature and martial arts, emphasizing both morality and career, honesty and self-discipline" Pei's family tradition.

The Pei family once had family rules, and those whose descendants failed the examination to be a scholar were not allowed to enter the gate of the ancestral hall. I came here especially for the name, and I am proud to be able to enter the Pei clan study.

Most of the aristocratic families adhere to the tradition of farming, reading, and poetry and writing. The children of the family are based on farming and reading, and maintain a simple family style. Even if they need to do business to earn money, they mostly arrange for offspring.

In addition to the above, the second one is marriage. Through the marriage with the royal dignitaries, the feudal nepotism formed makes it easier for the children of one's family to stand out.

For example, the Pei family has produced a total of 95 concubines, empresses, crown princes, concubines, princesses, and shadow raiders in history. Through large-scale marriages, the aristocratic families have compiled a huge network of relationships, with tentacles extending to all aspects of the entire feudal dynasty. Keep the family alive.

As long as the family needs you, if you say that what is waiting for you is not the accusation of someone, but the rejection of the whole family. If a woman is spurned by the whole family, then you will not survive.

Even Cui Xiuniang is the same, so Cui Xiuniang agreed to the marriage, but today, Cui Xiuniang's mother opened a back door of Cui's house, then handed her daughter a package and cried: "Xiuniang, mother My dear, I'm sorry, you should leave quickly, you can't make up with this dear, if you do, then you will be a widow for the rest of your life."

"Why did mother do this?" Cui Xiuniang was still a little confused at this moment.

But he was pushed and shoved by his mother: "Hurry up, 500 meters ahead, there is a fast horse prepared for you by your mother, run away, run away hard. Don't look back."

"But if I escape, what will you do? How will you explain to the Zhu family?" Cui Xiuniang hesitated.

"Silly boy, why should our Cui family confess? They Li Daitao froze and wanted our Cui family's daughter to become a widow. They dare not confront us head-on. Don't worry, child, as long as you escape, everything will be fine. .”

After finishing speaking, Cui Xiuniang's mother pushed Cui Xiuniang again, and finally this time Cui Xiuniang grabbed the package and ran out. Although she still didn't know where she was going, she knew that she had to run now. Otherwise, her life would really be over.

Many people still don't know what's going on now, it's very simple, the Cui family's marriage was tricked this time.

Who got tricked, so now I have to explain the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty, the so-called five surnames and seven families that everyone is familiar with. In fact, if they are subdivided, they are Shandong nobles, namely the Boling Cui family, the Zhaojun Li family, and the Qinghe Cui family. Family, Lu family in Fanyang, Zheng family in Xingyang, Li family in Longxi, and Wang family in Taiyuan. Here I want to explain that the Shandong nobles are different from the Shandong group.

Li Shimin owns the Shandong Group, the Shandong nobles, and he also uses them, but the Shandong nobles are not something Li Shimin can order.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, apart from the Shandong nobles, there was also Guanlong Xungui, the military general group with the "Eight Pillar Kingdom" as its core. Almost all the royal families of the Sui and Tang dynasties came from here.

The Jiangzuo gentry is a traditional gentry group in the Yangtze River Valley with the four major families of Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang in Wujun as the core. They rose in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but gradually declined during the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The generation of northern gentry mainly flourished in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. They have a prominent northern ethnic minority blood and are a naturalized family.Among them are Henan Dou's, Yuwen's, Dugu's, Changsun's and so on.

Six surnames in Kansai: Jingzhao Wei's/Hedong Pei's/Hedong Xue's/Hedong Liu's/Hongnong Yang's/Jingzhao Du's, and some are also members of the Guanlong Group
Jiangnan family: Lanling Xiao family (Other Langya Wang family / Chen Jun Xie family / Chen Jun Yuan family / Wu Jun Gu Lu Zhu Zhang / Kuaiji Yu Wei Kong Xie He, etc. are down)
These aristocratic families are often equal in strength, so there will be conflicts, fights, and marriages and close alliances with each other. As the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests.

After thinking about it for a few times, the Cui family carefully selected the Zhu family of Wujun for Cui Xiuniang.King Wu of Zhou conquered Shang, and Cao Xie conferred meritorious service on Zhu, which is now the ancient city of Zhu, [-] miles southeast of Xianyuan, Zouxian County, Yanzhou, Shandong.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Zhu family led the prefect of Wu County. In the county for 31 years, the sons of the public family and the four surnames of Wu mostly came out of the county. At this time, the Zhu family took the road of military exploits. That person is Zhu Ling.

At this time, the eldest son and grandson of the Zhu family in Wu County, after the Cui family selected them, they sent someone to visit them twice. Among them, the uncle of Cui Xiuniang's mother's family went to see Zhu Ling in person. For Zhu Ling, Cui Xiuniang's uncle also praised Zhu Ling Nevermind, this marriage was soon put on the agenda.

However, when their marriage was approaching, a strange news came out that Zhu Ling was no longer able to die. In fact, Zhu Ling of the Zhu family had been shot a long time ago and died soon. .

The person named Zhu Ling who has been appearing frequently in the Zhu family is Zhu Ling's twin brother Zhu Chao pretending to be Zhu Chao. The reason why Zhu Chao has been pretending to be Zhu Ling is because he wants to trick a noble girl into the wedding. It is said that only the noble girl can make the wedding. Age can turn the crisis into safety.

As soon as the news was known by Cui Xiuniang's mother, she immediately told her daughter to run away quickly. Because only women know how pitiful a widow is, what is a widow:
After a man and a woman get engaged, if the man dies before they get married, and the woman becomes a widow because of this, they are called wangmen widows.

This is the feudal stereotypes and bad habits that despise women's rights. Men have three wives and four concubines, but they emphasize women's obedience.

Once a marriage contract is concluded, a woman is born a husband's family and dies a husband's ghost.

The old custom is that after the engagement, the fiancé dies first, and even though the unmarried woman lives at home, she must also observe the festival for her husband, which is called "widow watching the family".Women who are widowed (who have not passed the gate) are usually considered "hard-fated" and "kefu", making it difficult to remarry.

Under the control of this theory, the fiancé dies first, which often leaves a deep psychological shadow on the unfortunate woman, thinking that she is "unlucky", and most of them will be lonely for life.

How could a mother let her daughter go through this, so regardless of whether it was true or not, Cui Xiuniang's mother immediately let her daughter escape, and then she would confront the Zhu family.

If it's true, my daughter ran away. If it's false, I'll make an apology at worst.
