Even Qianlong, who is usually cold all year round, couldn't help but be curious and wanted to experience the tradition of holding weddings here.
"You two, please don't join in the fun. This is not an ordinary happy event. It is our village chief Guan's family who is marrying his little wife."
"Their family also occupies a lot of these lands. They are even more ruthless and have certain benefits, so they will rent the land to us ordinary people."
The middle-aged man immediately stopped Dahu who wanted to go out to watch the fun, fearing that he might get into trouble accidentally, even if the people in front of him seemed to have extraordinary status.
As the saying goes, if a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot go against their village chief.
"Marry a little wife?"
Wang Yuan felt a little weird. It was very common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. The common people like a small village chief marrying concubines didn't seem very happy either.
Even those families with a little money would marry one or two concubines. This was something that everyone could accept.
Why do you feel so unhappy when you look at the middle-aged man's expression, as if it's something that both humans and gods are angry about?
"Young master, you don't know. Chief Guan is already fifty years old this year. He had previously taken a fancy to the daughter of a poor family and wanted to marry her by force when she was just sixteen years old."
Remember URL
"They say they are marrying her, but in fact they are just taking her by force to become a concubine."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he looked angrily at the houses not far away that were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Common people like them just dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
Watching a young girl in her prime being destroyed in the hands of an old man, who knew he had a lot of power in his hands.
After hearing this, Dahu was very angry. Marriage has always been a matter of mutual love, and he has never seen any forced robbery. A small village chief dared to be so unscrupulous.
"Dahu, Qianlong, it seems we are going to have a banquet together today."
After hearing this, Wang Yuan didn't say much. He stood up and walked out immediately. It was useless to say more. Since he heard about this matter, he would deal with it to the end.
I don’t know how many more things like this happen that I don’t know about. I must let these people know that even if the emperor is far away, I can’t control them.
There are state laws and family rules, and if you do something wrong, you must pay a certain price.
"Sir, what are you going to do?"
"The other party is a rich and powerful village chief. You foreigners must not cause trouble."
The middle-aged man was instantly frightened when he saw a few people preparing to make a move. Several people followed him to this place and later the village chief found out that he couldn't finish the meal and walked around.
Looking at the few people who were about to walk out, they almost burst into tears. A family must pay a certain price if they want to gain a foothold here.
"Brother, don't worry, we just went to a banquet and didn't have enough to eat."
"I'll pack some delicious food for you later."
With a warm smile on his face, Wang Yuan turned around and walked out without looking back, as if he was saying that the weather was very good today, to have a banquet at the village chief's house.
The middle-aged man looked at the figures from behind and it was too late to stop them. He just stood there in fear and looked at a loss.
Several people came to the gate of the village chief's house and saw a group of ordinary people congratulating themselves with the remaining rations in their hands. They just said congratulations through the gate and walked back.
Without even seeing the scene clearly, it didn't take long for him to collect a stone of rice, which made the people receiving gifts outside very happy.
