- The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, two days before the wedding.
Mr. Zhao originally planned to catch up on his sleep, but his father woke him up at the fourth watch. Zhao Shouzheng ordered him to wash up and put on new clothes, then led him to the backyard where the two men lived, and entered a back room in the middle.
The room was brightly lit with candles, and Zhao Liben and Zhao Shouye were both there.
Zhao Hao entered the room to say hello to his grandfather and uncle, and his eyes were attracted by the long altar table behind the incense table.
I saw a shrine in the middle of the altar, enshrining the thick genealogy of the old Zhao family.
There are four solemn rosewood tablets enshrined under the family tree, each of which reads:
"The first uncle of the imperial family said that Zhao Gongtao guarded the spiritual position of the ancient ruler."
"The first uncle asked Zhao Gong to guard the spiritual position of the Prime Minister."
"The first uncle asked Zhao Gong to keep the spiritual position of Lord Pingfu".
"The first uncle asked Zhao Gong to keep his spiritual position as the king of his house."
"Grandpa, who are these people?" Zhao Hao seemed to be from his father's generation. Then he folded his hands and bowed, and asked curiously: "Is this all my late uncle?"
"Yes, from now on you will inherit their ancestral lineage and carry on the ancestral lineage for them. Please kowtow and return to the ancestral lineage quickly." Zhao Liben said calmly.
"Grandpa, no matter how dissatisfied you are with my father, you can't replace him with me." Young Master Zhao looked back at Mr. Zhao behind him and muttered in a low voice: "You can't replace him with four"
"Why should I change your father for you?" Zhao Liben almost lost his temper, glared at him and said: "That beast is still your father!"
"Then from now on, I will have five dads? Why do I need so many dads?" Mr. Zhao wondered whether he should laugh or cry: "Isn't one dad enough for me to worry about?"
"As a father, I feel much less worried now." Mr. Zhao protested in a low voice.
"These four have become memorial tablets, what do you have to worry about?" Zhao Liben said with a blank look at him.
"That's unlucky." Zhao Hao couldn't accept it.
"Do you think I'm willing to go to all this trouble?" Zhao Liben blew his beard and glared: "Isn't it because you insist on marrying five wives? Then it has to be like this! If you only marry Xueying I will be much lazy. Minding your own business!"
"Mingyue is a marriage granted by the emperor" Zhao Shouzheng expressed his attitude weakly. In fact, that's not his attitude
"Shut up, you puppet!" Zhao Liben shouted with raised eyebrows.
"Then there is Miss Zhang" Zhao Shouzheng muttered again.
"Shut up, you traitor! Do you want to rebel if your wings get stiff?!" Zhao Liben was so angry that he wanted to beat him.
"I am not a traitor, nor a puppet" Zhao Shouzheng backed away continuously, but his mouth kept breaking.
"I'll beat you to death, you beast!" Zhao Liben picked up the candlestick on the altar table and was about to open the ladle for Zhao Liben.
"Dad, I will be a father-in-law the day after tomorrow!" Zhao Shouzheng quickly held his head and kept a safe distance
Over there, the old man and Mr. Zhao were getting angry, and here the uncle of the Zhao family made it clear to Zhao Hao:
"Ordinarily, since you are not an official, you can marry as many wives as you want. People will only say that you are affectionate and righteous, and do not want to let your own women become concubines. But after all, it is 'the law is a big hindrance, and the etiquette cannot be the second wife'." Our scholarly family and official family still have to be more particular about it."
"Understood." Zhao Hao nodded, he knew what Zhao Shouye meant.
With the establishment of the eldest son's inheritance system as the core of the patriarchal system, the marriage system in China has been a "monogamy and multiple concubines" since the Zhou Dynasty, and it has been fixed in the form of law in all dynasties.
However, the etiquette system belongs to the etiquette system, the law belongs to the law, and the social reality is another story. The phenomenon of "equal wives and legitimate children" is an ever-present wave in the order of etiquette and law, disturbing the ideals of etiquette and the authority of law of the ruling class. Although it has always been prohibited by law, it has always existed in social life as a matter of course. Moreover, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Ming Dynasty, it became more and more intense, and its living environment became more and more tolerant.
??For example, what Zhao Shouye just said about the "five empresses standing together" is the feat of Yuwen Yun, the son-in-law of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Tianyuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Before him, it was not uncommon for scholar-officials in the Wei and Jin Dynasties to marry "left and right wives" for the sake of wider marriages.
By the time of the Tang Dynasty, when people's customs were enlightened, it became a common custom to have two wives together, and those who discussed it would not think it was wrong. In the Tang Dynasty, the practice of direct marriage was particularly popular. In the Tang Dynasty household registers, it was very common for a family to have two and three wives. If a courtier already had a wife, the emperor would often still give him a wife and confer a title with his original wife as a conventional means to win over the courtiers.
This trend gradually declined after the rise of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty. However, after the rise of Xinxue in this dynasty, etiquette was greatly deteriorated, and the phenomenon of equal wives became common again. Moreover, the people do not pay attention to this phenomenon that obviously violates etiquette, and instead regard it asDing can no longer fight.
So a perfect closed loop is formed, and the legitimacy of both ends is resolved. In this way, Hui merchants only need to strictly separate their property in the two houses, and the children they have will each inherit the ancestral lineage and inherit their property, so they don't have to worry about the two houses competing for the family property.
¡° Moreover, Zhao Hao is the only son of Zhao Shouzheng, which is completely similar to the situation of Emperor Jiajing, so the reason for the concurrent marriage is even stronger.
This will completely eliminate future hidden dangers.
So you can break the law only if you know the law Oh, it¡¯s not illegal!
Although it is indeed a bit too much to carry five houses on one shoulder, those who can afford it should work harder.
In addition, Zhao Liben has always been worried that he insists on not distinguishing between legitimate concubines and concubines. In the future, there will be a way to solve the hidden danger of his sons fighting for family property a hundred years later.
Zhao Hao would never have thought of this, so it is true to say that having an elder in a family is like having a treasure!
After understanding the cause and effect, he happily offered incense to the four uncles, and then paid homage to them, stirring up the incense in the four rooms
ps. Ever since the war, I have been thinking about how to let Zhao Hao marry five wives in a reasonable way. Phew, I finally solved this big problem. No more stuck, speed up!
