The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Now Mai Qi hangs out with Yang Zong, the wife of the stolen leader, every day.

My wife called the housekeeper a few days ago.

"Kill that slutty woman named Yangzong."

"Yes."

Women are cruel.

The housekeeper is very good, and he assassinated someone with one shot.

The city suddenly became alert.

"Who's shooting?"

"This shot is for Yangzong."

"Poor beauty, her beauty has harmed others and herself."

One shot didn't kill him.

"Master, you must be frightened. It's okay."

"Where are you, get out of here."

"If the master doesn't say anything, how can I dare to show my face?"

"It's him."

"I also want him to take over as the leader of Chacha."

"This guy had his gun pointed at the master, so I had no choice but to kill him."

"Where did he get the gun? How could this be my gun? I finally understand, Yangzong, I will take you back to the official village, so that no one will dare to take your idea anymore. Let's go back to the official village."

The chieftain took his young wife back to the official village.

"Tell your wife to welcome Yangzong."

Second Young Master: "Yes, there is another grandma."

The toast was also very satisfied with his wife's appearance.

Men like beautiful people.

Toast's two wives are both very beautiful.

Yangzong: "Master, I beg you to let me go and let me go home."

The little wife was frightened, and she was assassinated by the eldest wife within two days of coming here.

"There are more people to kill you on the road."

"Why, why did you kill me?"

"Now everyone knows that you want to be a toast wife, so your husband will die after checking his head."

"You are afraid of the eldest lady, don't be afraid, I won't let her do anything to you. Yangzong, my woman, she is Yangzong."

"I saw it. Hang up the dead man and let everyone see what happens to those who kill others."

Hang up the person sent to assassinate him.

The eldest lady was very angry because she didn't succeed this time.

Now that I have brought him back to the official village, it will be very difficult to take action, at least on the surface.

"Chief Maiqi declares to you that the man hanging on the pillar is the housekeeper of the Chacha leader. It was he who used despicable and cruel methods to kill his master. The Chacha leader who was loyal to the Maiqi family had vain plans. It is impossible for the conspiracy to succeed if you obtain the status of the leader yourself. The wisdom of Chief Mikey will not be deceived by villains. Let us jointly curse this despicable and sinful villain. Let him fall into hell without recovery. "

"Ask Madam how she cursed this sinner."

"Madam, I ask you how to curse this sinner."

The old man became dissatisfied with his former eldest wife and even wanted to kill his own little wife.

At night, gunfire rang out from the official village.

"What's going on? It's late at night."

"The guards came to report that the two sons of the dead leader Cha Cha came to the gate of the official village. They said they had something to say to the master."

city ​​gate.

"I am Mikey. You see clearly and listen. Your father betrayed his master and received the punishment he deserved. The matter has been settled. What else do you want to do?"

"Does Mr. Chief Toast think that we are still children and can be deceived? We all know that you ordered the death of our father. Mr. Chief Toast, please speak."

"Well, just listen, I should have killed you all, but since you are still children, I will let you live and run away. Remember, if you are still in Mikey's territory within three days, I will You are welcome."

"Toast, let the fire shine on your face. I want to remember your appearance firmly."

In fact, this is what bandits do.

"Baby, you are worried that you have killed the wrong person. You can see clearly."

"Thank you toast, we can see clearly."

"If you don't come to kill me in a few years, I will want to die. Can I wait for you?"

"If you die, your children will not die with you. We will go find him. Goodbye, Mr. Toast."

Women, some beautiful women, are the source of trouble.

As the old saying goes, beauties are the source of trouble, and the root of the problem must be eradicated.

Runtu also let nature take its course.

The other toast methods are similar.

This Mikey may be relatively good.

Let nature take its course without changing too many things.

Big Wife, "I heard their curses."

Mikey: "Do you think your enemies will still sing for you?"

"You should kill them." "I just want to go back to sleep now."

"Why are you so anxious? You are a chieftain, and one woman has made you so anxious. What would you do if there were ten women? Yes, go back quickly, lest your new baby be frightened again."

"It's time for you to go back. It's cold outside and you're in poor health."

"It doesn't matter if I die. No matter how much Master Mikey needs, he still doesn't need a wife. It's easy to buy her with money and rob her with a gun."

"I'm going back to the house."

"Look, there's a fire over there."

"Master, the two sons of Chief Chacha set fire to one of our strongholds and ran away. Master, I will send troops immediately, and I will definitely catch up with them."

"Do you want me to be a dishonest toast?"

"Sir, the butler is right."

"You want to say I'm wrong."

"You let them go in front of so many people. This is leaving a legacy for the future. This is trouble."

"Go ahead and come back in three days."

"Why, you're scared. Just two people."

The eldest wife and the little wife can't handle it well.

Polygamy and polyandry are both found here.

In aristocratic society, polyandry, in which brothers share wives, is prevalent.

There are complex economic and social factors.

The first is to avoid the decline of family power caused by family separation.If brothers in a family marry different wives, the family will be divided, causing family power to continue to be dispersed.After a few generations, their power will weaken and they will be unable to compete with other noble families.

Second, in aristocratic families under polyandry, the wife has a higher status and the weaker male family can use the strength of the female family to acquire and accumulate more social capital, consolidate political alliances, and obtain more Wealth and power.

There is an ancient legend.A young horse herder and a shepherd girl became childhood sweethearts and fell in love over time.Her mother disliked poverty and loved wealth, so she married the girl to a wealthy businessman.

The businessman values ​​profit over separation, and works hard outside, leaving the girl at home in the cold.The herding horse boy never forgets his old friendship and often comes here for trysts.As time goes by, paper cannot contain the fire.The matter was eventually found out by my parents-in-law.The parents-in-law informed their son.But the son didn't care about the green grassland above him and decided to keep the horse herder boy.From then on, the couple lived a harmonious and happy life.

When getting married.It is usually the elder brother who holds the wedding ceremony with his wife when he reaches adulthood and enters the bridal chamber together.From now on, when the younger brother grows up, he and his sister-in-law will perform the courtesy of Zhou Gong one after another.

It’s different from what many people imagine.In this kind of family, the relationship between husband and wife actually has strict moral standards.The wife lives alone in a room.Brothers who live with their wives at night generally obey their wives' arrangements.

There will also be some tacit understanding between husbands.It is said that in some families, when a husband comes to see his wife at night, he will make a special mark in front of the wife's door, such as placing a pair of boots and hanging his belt.When other brothers see it, they will know how to go back to their own homes and will not disturb them.

How do children call so many "fathers"?There are slight differences in different places. In some areas, the eldest brother of the father's generation is called father, while others are called uncle.In some places, all brothers from the father's generation are called dad.But no matter what form.All "fathers" treat their children equally as if they were their own children.

Medical conditions are poor, life expectancy is short, young adults are working outside, and mortality is high.When the father died, the children were young and needed the care of their elders.Brothers sharing wives ensures a close relationship between peers.The brothers' children are all born from the same mother, so that they can all have something to support after the death of their father.

The financial foundation is poor and it is impossible to find a wife for each brother, so there are cases where multiple brothers marry one wife.This is a strategy adopted by the lower class people to cope with scarce natural resources, by reducing the number of households to reduce survival risks.

There are even remote places doing this now.

It means one wife, multiple husbands, and a marriage in which a woman maintains a relationship with several men at the same time.

The relationship between several husbands is generally that of brothers.The purpose of several brothers marrying the same wife can be summed up in four words: to avoid family separation.In fact, it is to protect family property from being divided.

They believe that if several sons of a family marry separately, the family will be divided, and the separation will cause the division of family property and weaken the power of the extended family.

It will also lead to a shortage of labor force in the family and affect the accumulation of family wealth.By adopting polyandry, the family's original land and wealth will not be cut into smaller pieces due to the separation of brothers, which is conducive to maintaining the integrity of the property.

Located on a plateau, there is very little arable land available, and people are trying their best to maintain the small amount of land they have.

No matter who the biological father of the child is, they call it that. They don't deliberately figure out who is their child and who is their brother's child.Anyway, the children of this family are all their own children and are treated equally.

On the other hand, the same goes for children, who treat their fathers equally and do not know who their real biological father is.In a polyandrous family, the family is the unit. Outsiders refer to children as children of a certain family, rather than as children of a certain person.

There is a custom in one place that the eldest brother in the family cannot go out to work and can only stay at home.However, when the brother who works outside comes back, the eldest brother who works at home will take the initiative to move out of his wife's room and live alone.This ensures that each brother has time to spend with his wife.

The wife needs to balance the relationship between the brothers in the family and ensure that there is no jealousy among the brothers.After marriage, the wife will be warned by the elders to treat her husbands equally and not to favor any one over the other.

The family is very harmonious because there is no issue of financial interests involved, and because the children are born to the same mother, there is no issue of closeness or family ties.

Secondly, there is no conflict between sisters-in-law. In a monogamous family, since the children are the offspring of different couples, conflicts between children often lead to disputes between sisters-in-law.

On the other hand, resources are unevenly distributed among small families within the extended family, which further causes friction between sisters-in-law and thus conflicts between brothers.Polyandry, with only one wife, avoids this contradiction.

There is a common social evaluation standard for wives in polygamous families. If they can unite several brothers and are filial to their parents, and the family lives in harmony, they are considered virtuous and will be praised by public opinion.On the other hand, if a brother makes a fuss about separating the family after marriage, he will be criticized by public opinion if he accuses his wife of being partial.This concept is deeply ingrained and everyone knows it.After a woman gets married, her elders will warn her to treat her husbands equally and not to favor any one over the other.

In some families, there is a tacit understanding between the husbands, without any obvious method, they will naturally know which of the brothers sleeps with the wife, such as when the brother is not there when sleeping, goes to the wife's room or the brother leaves after sleeping, etc.Because we live together every day, we can know it from some subtle actions, so the other husbands consciously avoid it.

In some specific aspects of life, different places, different families, and different people will always have some methods that suit them.It is not as standardized and uniform as some systems.

According to their respective characteristics, there are general divisions.This is a family with more complex and diverse production and business activities, many types of work, and a detailed division of labor.

The basis of the division of labor is mainly based on age and gender characteristics. There is no special discrimination against wives, and wives have no special rights.

For most farmers and herdsmen, inheritance rights mainly involve the inheritance of family property.It is a general custom that when children grow up or they separate or get married and leave home, the division of family property is mainly based on the number of people in the family, and most of them give each person one share.Children, including those born out of wedlock who have been living at home, are all treated equally, and there is no system that favors one over another.

If there are many children in the family, there is no institutional tradition about who will be left home by the parents in the end.Whoever the parents think is filial and capable, and who is willing to stay at home, will be kept.For the headman, in addition to property, inheritance rights also include the inheritance of the headman status. This is also equal for sons. There is no difference between elder and younger. Children born out of wedlock can also inherit.

Like the famous Zhaojun who went out of the country and married three people in succession.

Wang Zhaojun and Shanyu lived together for three years, but the good times did not last long. In the fourth year after their marriage, her husband Huhanxie Shanyu died of illness. When Wang Zhaojun married Huhanxie, he was already 70 years old, and it is common for him to die of illness. .

According to the custom of the Huns, a married woman is the property of the family. After the death of the father, the son succeeds, and the elder brother succeeds the younger brother. After the death of the husband, Wang Zhaojun should marry the husband's son.

His son died of illness 11 years after he succeeded to the throne. Poor Wang Zhaojun lost two husbands in a row. According to the Xiongnu tradition, as long as she is not dead, she must remarry the next Shanyu again.

Married to grandson again.

This is still done one by one.

There are also those who marry several people at the same time.

It's commonplace here.

For ordinary people.

A man like Mikey's can marry many wives. (End of chapter)
