Hearing Wen Yuanzhong's words, Chen Yueqi breathed a sigh of relief. She knew she had made the right choice. In this case, she could no longer hesitate, so she happily agreed again.
The two had even negotiated the adoption, so Wen Yuanzhong naturally couldn't let Chen Yueqi sleep in the open anymore. He asked the housekeeper to take Chen Yueqi to a guest room to rest and concentrate on preparing for the adoption and marriage.
Not long after, Lu Xu, who was far away in Wei'an Fort, received a piece of good news that made him laugh or cry. The fifty old bachelors from Wei'an Fort were all going to have wives!
Not only that, the official document above also clearly mentioned that Lu Xu’s wife was the adopted daughter of Mr. Jinglue’s late sister.
When they heard the news, all the military households in Wei'anbao had very complicated emotions.
These military households in Wei'an Fort used to be honest and good-natured people. Except for Lu Xu, everyone was basically between 20 and 30 years old. So before they were convicted, they were basically all in their hometown.
Married a wife and had children.
However, because these people were convicted, everyone had their homes confiscated and exiled, and their wives were basically confiscated and became official slaves. They were either slaves or maids or became "official servants" in the Jiaofang Department.
Normally, everyone would keep this secret and no one wanted to mention it, but now, the above official document forces everyone to face this issue.
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the superiors will arrange new wives for them sooner or later.
In the household registration system of Daliang, there is the so-called low-level registration. This kind of low-level registration is often engaged in some "lowly" occupation, and can only be engaged in this occupation for generations.
For example, military households, merchants, music households, and craftsmen households all belong to low-level households. In Daliang, people with low-level status cannot pass the imperial examination, and people with low-level status have extremely no human rights in Daliang.
If an official beats a good citizen to death, then according to Daliang law, he must pay with his life. If he beats to death a domestic slave who is of low status, then he is beaten to death. No one will say anything? At most
Some censors would say that he had bad conduct and was too cruel, but there was nothing else.
Not only that, untouchables and good people cannot intermarry. If untouchables marry people who are not untouchables, their offspring can only become untouchables. This also means that untouchables can only be forced to pay attention to being well-matched when marrying.
Among all the lowly statuses, the two most special ones are the military household men and the Lehu women.
Even among low-class people, these two are the most unpopular. Military men understand very well that even low-class women will not marry these people with their heads in their belts unless they have to.
Lehu girls are women who work in music-related industries such as dancing, singing and playing in places like Jiaofangsi.
According to the Daliang Law, these people are performers and are not in the same industry as the women who sell that stuff. They cannot take other people's work, just like military households cannot do business and take work from merchants.
But in reality? These two kinds of people work in the same place, and Daliang is a decadent feudal bureaucratic society. Will anyone abide by this kind of law?
So everyone knows what happens to Lehu girls in the Jiaofangsi. According to Daliang law, they can leave the Jiaofangsi when they are thirty-five years old, get married and have children. But in this era of strict etiquette, even if they live to the age of thirty-five,
Who would want to marry them?
So, the imperial court thought of those military households who had guarded the border for generations. It happened that none of you could get married, and the court still needed people, so Daliang came up with a system of forcibly bringing together Lehu women and military men.
Moreover, allowing military households to marry and have children in the garrison would also strengthen the military households' determination to stick to the garrison. Of course, the court was willing to do such a thing that could achieve multiple goals with one stone.
This is why the marriages of a group of military households appear in official documents, because this is indeed one of Daliang's national policies.
Everyone in Wei'anbao knew that one day they would be married by the court, but no one thought that this day would come so quickly.
However, everyone still has a blessing attitude towards Lu Xu.
Because Wen Yuanzhong clearly stated in the official document that the girl who was going to marry Lu Xu was the adopted daughter of his biological sister Wen Yuanzhong.
In everyone's opinion, this shows that Wen Yuanzhong must value Lu Xu very much. Moreover, it is impossible for an ordinary girl to be accepted as an adopted daughter by Wen Yuanzhong.
After all, Daliang is a country with strict ethics, and any stain may become the reason for the entire family to be despised.
If a girl with a dirty net worth appears in Wen Yuanzhong's family, and this girl is directly related to Wen Yuanzhong, then the reputation of the girls in the entire Wen family will be affected.
Because this is related to the family tradition of the Wen family, no matter who the girl is? Since she can be adopted by the Wen family, it means that her background is probably not simple.
However, amidst everyone's blessings, Lu Xu seemed very unnatural.
After everyone left, Lu Xu pulled Niu Er and said, "You will take people to move my luggage to the military camp in a while. I will live in the military camp from now on."
Niu Er looked very surprised when he heard Lu Xu's words. The military households stationed in the battle fort actually had two homes, one was the military camp, and the other was a house outside the military camp.
This was mainly because the imperial court hoped that military households could settle down in the garrison, so they gave their wives and children a place to stay.
Logically speaking, Lu Xu was getting married and he should live in his own home. Why did Lu Xu escape back to the military camp when his wife was about to come?
Lu Xu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid this girl is not simple!"
Seeing that Niu Er was still puzzled, Lu Xu asked, "Do you know why the higher-ups attach so much importance to our Wei'an Fort?"
Niu Er continued to shake his head, and Lu Xu said: "Our Wei'an Fort is located in the mountains of the Qinling Mountains. Our country was founded more than two hundred years ago. Wei'an Fort only existed for more than a hundred years, but as early as more than a thousand years ago,
These mountains are the territory of bandits and bandits."
"Since ancient times, the imperial court's attitude towards this place has been to allow bandits to wreak havoc in the Qinling Mountains. As long as they dare to go down the mountain, the imperial court will send people to kill a few of the ringleaders to deter the bandits."
"But in our dynasty, because the dangers in the north of our dynasty were far greater than those of the previous dynasty, even Qinfeng Road, which used to be the hinterland of the rear, has become a battlefield, so we built our Wei'an Fort."
"We in Daliang are the gangsters of Qinfeng Road after all. Even we have no good way to deal with the bandits in Qinling, let alone the outsiders like Beiting people."
"As long as we can take root in these mountains, when the Beiting people come again, we can become a surprise force and bring huge trouble to the Beiting people."
Niu Er quickly stopped Lu Xu and said in disbelief: "Only our brother No. 50? What can we do in front of the people of Beiting?"
