Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 77
...

"The slave family brought the village master to my treasury, just to give these external things to the village master."

Li Yan was silent for a while, then looked at Li Shishi, and said: "If the lady is willing, I am willing to marry Jinlan with the lady and recognize the lady as a righteous sister. If I don't die, I will not let the lady suffer any grievances. If you violate this oath, call me Suffering from unforeseen circumstances, serious illness, and untimely death!"——Li Yan, who was worried that Li Shishi would open his mouth like a lion, made an offer before Li Shishi, hoping to seal Li Shishi's mouth so that Li Shishi would not make excessive demands!
Even if the city is like Master Li, after hearing Li Yan's words, his expression froze!
Clever Li Shishi, how could he not hear that Li Yan thought she was a prostitute, afraid that she would rely on him?

Li Shishi couldn't help being a little angry, but also a little desolate!
That's right!

There are many self-proclaimed literati chasing after famous prostitutes, and even spend a lot of money for famous prostitutes, ruining their fortunes!

But if they are really asked to marry the famous prostitutes they are looking for, few people are willing, especially those celebrities!

It's the same as the relationship between rich men and female stars in later generations - I can spend a lot of money on you female stars, and I can also show all kinds of affection to you to prove that I am romantic, but if you want to enter my rich family, I'm sorry, no!

At most, those people just took famous prostitutes as concubines to flaunt his flair and charm.

And the status of a concubine...

Concubines were originally slaves in the earliest days, but even later, they could be bought and sold.

In the very distant era of tribal conquest, what would happen if the population was captured during the war?Of course, let the men do the hard work, and let the women stay and serve him, and the young and beautiful women also have the function of the winner to vent.

Take the Shame of Jingkang as an example, the "concubine" is more like the captured woman in the Shame of Jingkang, who was treated as a maidservant by the Jin people and raped.

Regarding the status of concubines, the most famous ones are probably Su Shi's exchange of his concubine Chunniang for a horse and the desperate poem written by Chunniang - don't be a woman, and all the joys and sorrows are left to others.It is only now that I know that people are inferior to animals, and who will be angry in this life.

Let me tell you here, these things are true, but it wasn't Su Shi who did it, so it's really hard to say.

The prototype of the story of exchanging a concubine for a horse existed in the Tang Dynasty. The guy who sold his concubine for a horse was named Bao Sheng.

The so-called Jue Ming poem written by Chunniang is actually a poem written by a poet in the Tang Dynasty. After a few words were changed, it became written by Su Shi's concubine Chunniang.

Of course, if it is said that Su Shi imitated the ancients and gave Chunniang to Jiang in exchange for Jiang's good horse, it is not impossible at all. After all, the status of a concubine is really too low, and even the poet Li Bai has a saying The poem "a thousand-gold horse for a concubine, sits on a carved saddle with a smile and sings a plum blossom".

Therefore, even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the so-called concubine was no more than a horse.

Moreover, this kind of thing is recognized by feudal ethics, and it will be passed on as a good story. Even the law has clarified the status of concubines-"Women who beat their wives will not be injured unless they are injured", "Wife who beats his wife cane One hundred", it is said that if a husband beats his wife, it is not a crime if he does not beat his wife, but if a wife beats her husband, it is necessary to pay a hundred sticks.And "a wife who beats a concubine is the same crime as a husband who beats his wife." The crime of a wife beating a concubine is the same as that of a husband beating his wife. It is not a crime not to beat a concubine. The penalty for beating disabled is second class.However, if a concubine wants to beat his wife, the crime is the same as that of a wife beating her husband.

Therefore, as soon as you enter a prostitution, you are almost doomed to a lifetime of tragedy.

Even if he got to Li Shishi's height, the ending couldn't be different.

Don't you see, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty liked Li Shishi so much, but in the end he couldn't even give Li Shishi a title.

Li Shishi quickly calmed down, and then said with a smile: "The friendship with my brother Jinlan allows the slave family to have an elder brother who can rely on nature to be good. In fact... the slave family is just addicted to being an official and wants to be an official with my brother."

indeed!

Li Yan pretended to be passionate!
Although Li Yan's performance can still catch Li Shishi's eyes, even Li Shishi, who is convinced by the talented emperor Song Huizong, has seen too many, too many excellent men. According to the values ​​of today's people, Li Yan, the bandit leader, He couldn't compare with those "excellent men". How could Li Shishi fall in love with Li Yan in just a day or two?

What Li Shishi really wants is a leadership position, no, to be more precise, what Li Shishi wants is a guarantee—a guarantee of life and future life.

This is a self-protection method that a desperate woman thought of for a few hours.

Li Yan was a little embarrassed!

Li Yan heard Li Shishi say that the gold, silver and jewels in the treasury were her dowry, and also heard Li Shishi say that all these "dowries" were given to Li Yan, and then thought that Li Shishi might have taken a fancy to him.

But the real situation is that Li Shishi only wants a leader position!
To be honest, Li Yan really didn't want to accept a prostitute, even if it was Li Shishi, a famous prostitute through the ages!
Therefore, while being embarrassed, Li Yan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "What should I do? It turns out that my sister wants to stand up for the heavens with me. The younger sister also sits in the top chair and is responsible for..."

"What can a singing girl be responsible for?" Li Yan had a headache.

But it's not good to be too hesitant at this time, because it will make Li Yan appear to be dishonest, so Li Yan quickly said: "Assist me in managing the cottage." ——Li Yan really didn't know how to arrange it Li Shishi, so he first asked Li Shishi to be an assistant, secretary or other position for himself.

Li Yan's arrangement of Li Shishi in this way is really not perfunctory or fooling Li Shishi.

If Shuibo Liangshan is compared to a company, Li Shishi, who joined with a huge sum of money, is definitely qualified to be an executive, or even a major shareholder. Considering the current scale of Shuibo Liangshan, he is the second or third leader. are all qualified.

The reason why Li Yan only gave Li Shishi the position of assistant and secretary was because Li Yan didn't know how to arrange for Li Shishi, who was too special in his profession!

Li Shishi didn't really want to join Li Yan and his group of strong men, let alone be a big official in the bandit den of Shuibo Liangshan. How much power does the "official" in the cottage have, and he didn't even ask what the "official" does, and he said a blessing, saying: "The little girl will be taken care of by my brother from now on."

It may be that Li Shishi, who is used to rare treasures, doesn't value her gold, silver and jewelry. The eight members and some of her personal belongings were moved into the tunnel, and then the maid was called, and she told the maid that she would wake her up later tomorrow...
