Marriage between nobles is on the hard-to-define line between usefulness and futility. If both parties want to maintain friendship, marriage is the best medium; once the time comes to fall out, no one will actually take marriage as a
Thing.
Now? Zhiyao and Fenying have already gone through the engagement process. Zhao Shi intends to have a good relationship with Zhishi, and a marriage relationship is the best medium.
Therefore, Zhao Yang, Zhao Bolu and other core members of the Zhao family were leaving "Xintian", and they chose to let Fen Ying come to live temporarily with the Zhi family.
Zhao asked Zhiyao to take care of his fiancée for a period of time. Is there any problem? Absolutely no problem.
Although the aristocrats of the Spring and Autumn Period did not advocate early marriage and early pregnancy, if Fen Ying became pregnant early, it would actually be a good thing for the Zhao family or the Zhi family.
There is no complicated reason. It is best for a child with the blood of the Zhi family and the Zhao family to be a boy. His existence will give the Zhao family and the Zhi family more room for cooperation.
The above is based on common sense. For a certain sister, it may not be the case.
In addition, to put it more exaggeratedly, it is not impossible that one day the eldest son of Zhiyao and Fenying will lead to the merger of the Zhi family and the Zhao family, and there are related examples.
Just like that, Zhao Bolu said goodbye and left that night, but left Fen Ying at Lao Zhi's house.
Zhisheng and Zhishen learned that Fenying stayed in the Zhi family's house and each had their own way of doing things.
As a grandfather, Zhizhuo invited Fenying to come over, especially so that Zhiyao did not need to be present.
Since Jishen is with Jisong, there is no need to make any other arrangements. Anyway, we can meet each other, and we must be able to explain some things that need to be done during the meeting, either implicitly or openly.
In the end, Zhiyao didn't plan to sleep with Fen Ying. When Fen Ying went to see Zhisong and Zhishen, she asked Fuma to arrange bedrooms nearby, and then picked out a few more rooms to accompany Fen Ying to the Zhi family's house.
's attendant.
That's right, Fen Ying will not stay alone at Lao Zhi's house. Not only will she bring along the servants of the Zhao family, but Bi, Wei, Hao and Ming, who are destined to be Zhi Yao's nuns, will also come.
Zhiyao did not specifically arrange for another living area and chose to live within the scope of her daily activities. In fact, it was to give Zhao the greatest face.
Is it just right? Zhiyao has a lot of secrets. He doesn’t want anything unpleasant to happen, so some things have to be moved.
Because both the fiancée and the future nun have moved into Lao Zhi's house, many families have to think a lot.
Zhiyao found that Wei Ju and Han Geng came over very frequently. They used to visit only every ten days and a half, but now they come every three to five, which saves Zhiyao from having to take the initiative to go out and socialize.
"So, that's exactly what it is." Han Geng said.
He met Wei Ju's team on the way to Lao Zhi's house, and the two teams merged.
The two had previously talked about the future situation of the Jin State. They mentioned that the relationship between the Zhi family and the Zhao family had been eased, and there seemed to be signs of long-term cooperation. They believed that the Jin State would become relatively harmonious.
At different times and with different needs, the relationship between various families is definitely not static.
Wei Chi mentioned something to Wei Ju that Zhishuo and Zhao Yang seemed to be extremely smart people, and the marriage between the two families was like a shot in the arm to the current Jin state.
The reality is that Zhizong needs to consider the future of the Zhi family a hundred years later, and taking the initiative to marry the Zhao family is one of the best ways; Zhao Yang will become a "Yuanrong" in the future, while the Zhao family suffered a great loss during the civil war.
, also don’t want to be enemies with Zhishi.
Both parties have needs. If marriage is used to ease the relationship and even become closer, the Wei family and the Han family can also benefit, and they must be very happy.
Waiting for the environment to change, the relationship between each family will definitely change again due to their own needs.
They arrived at Lao Zhi's house and were greeted by Zhiyao.
Everyone came to Zhiyao's activity area.
Wei Ju and Han Geng entered the reception area and saw Fen Ying smiling and saying hello.
They have seen Fen Ying accompanying Zhi Yao more than once, and they may feel happier than the people of the Zhao family or the Zhi family. The reasons are the ones mentioned above.
The season has entered late spring, and Zhiyao, Wei Ju and Han Geng have made an appointment to go out for hunting in the city today.
So Wei Ju and Han Geng were dressed in hunting attire. Zhi Yao, who was at home, waited for the two of them to come over to have some soup and water to rest, and soon Zhi Yao went to change their clothes.
"No, will Fen follow me out of the city?" Zhi Yao saw that Fen Ying was a little hopeful and didn't mind taking him out for a walk.
Wei Ju and Han Geng looked at each other and could see joy in each other's eyes.
Taking care of one's wife's emotions was a must for nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the reason was that they were "well-matched".
To put it bluntly, the strength of the two families is almost equal. Whether the couple can live harmoniously or even happily will affect many decisions of the two families.
Before Fen Ying could express his position, Bi said loudly: "Okay, okay!"
How could you do this?
In fact, dowry women cannot be too simple-minded and need to play a "adjusting" role in the couple's life. It is one of their main responsibilities to play a good role in the "atmosphere team".
Because several girls were also going, the three boys had to wait a little longer.
About two-quarters of an hour passed, and Fen Ying and others arrived after changing their clothes.
They changed into relatively simple clothes and looked a bit heroic.
Just now, both Wei Ju and Han Geng did the same thing, sending people to their fiancée's home to ask if they wanted to participate in a hunting trip out of the city.
Zhiyao was not surprised at all when the girl changed her clothes and became more handsome.
Now is the Spring and Autumn Period. The education in aristocratic families is very comprehensive. Both men and women will receive civil and military education. Individuals are also educated in an elite manner. Women are really not rich young ladies, living a life of staying in the house.
In extreme moments, female family members of nobles during the Spring and Autumn Period could also fight with men, as could some women who were not nobles. There were even women in the armies of some countries who performed combat tasks. Women have always existed in the military for a long time.
They have evolved from just killing people together to becoming mere tool people (laundry and prostitution).
Not to mention the foreign tribes. From ancient times to the Ming Dynasty of the Xia Dynasty, women can be seen doing things like clearing grass and grain, fighting in big games, collecting horse dung, milking livestock, and even riding horses to kill people.
Since there will be a girl accompanying him on the hunt? Zhiyao needs someone to prepare some bows with lower strength.
The situation is like that. After all, women have less strength than men. What they receive is generally not a "punch to head" training that relies on strength. They are basically combat skills that focus on flexibility, and archery is one of the skills that must be learned.
.
On the contrary, what about female celebrities? I'm sorry to say that aristocratic women in the Spring and Autumn Period did not need to deliberately learn it. They would marry many maids with life skills, and they did not have to do all kinds of work themselves.
What was originally just three aristocratic children going out to hunt in the city turned into a group of left-behind forces from four families going out for an outing, and the team seemed to be a bit too large.
Fen Ying and other girls temporarily stayed in Zhishi and brought their own guards. More people who served for hunting came from Zhishi.
Wei Ju's fiancée is a girl from the Jia family, and she will definitely bring her own warriors with her if she invites her.
Han Geng's fiancée is from the Zhao family like Zhiyao. Currently, Ying Ying and Fen Ying are in the same situation and are temporarily living in the Han family's mansion in "Xintian".
Therefore, when it comes to the armed forces of the four families, namely the Zhi family, the Wei family, the Han family and the Jia family, the Zhao family is in a special situation and only consists of about fifty people who usually guard Fen Ying and Ying Ying.
The more than fifty warriors of the Zhao family are really very few, all because Zhiyao, Wei Ju and Han Geng each brought 750 soldiers including ten chariots, while the weaker Jia family had four chariots.
There were a total of three hundred soldiers in the car. And this was just the force, not counting the male and female servants.
They left the city in great force, and the passers-by they saw did not feel any surprise in their hearts.
A big family should have the demeanor of a big family. Moreover, we are in the Jin Kingdom. The core and core children of the family need to engage in team building. It is reasonable and irrefutable to bring enough force. On the contrary, it is just two or three kittens.
It will make passers-by think about whether a certain family is ruined.
Hunting is not a one-day affair.
They came to camp at the Huishui River south of "Xintian". The real core people stayed in the camp, waiting for the accompanying armed forces to disperse to drive away the animals.
When the troops go out to carry out various actions, it is actually Zhiyao, Wei Ju and Han Geng who are making plans. This is a reflection of how the noble children can also get exercise every time they hunt.
When you really enter the hunting stage, you must wait for various animals to be driven to specific areas, especially the beasts and other animals will be driven separately.
Zhiyao deliberately let Fen Ying ride with him. The driver was Hu Liao, and the right side of the chariot was Zi Lu. Fen Ying was not part of the chariot combat team.
Drawing the bow, nocking the arrow, and then shooting the arrow, a series of actions were performed by Zhiyao smoothly, and the arrow will never miss.
Zilu had never seen Zhiyao shoot an arrow before. He was very surprised at first, but then he gradually became numb.
Zhiyao had never shot an arrow during the previous expeditions. It was not because he was a little young and he cherished his life. No, it was because he believed that the commander-in-chief should command the army well and there was no need to go up to show personal bravery.
With their hunting mode, it is difficult to have a dramatic accident. For example, it is impossible for a beast to suddenly pop up during hunting!
In other words, as long as there are enough people to go out hunting, it is impossible for a ferocious beast to suddenly appear.
The fundamental reason is that they will check in advance. If there is an omission, I don’t know how many people will lose their heads. How can they not do their best to save their heads on their shoulders?
Zhiyao's perfect arrow produced the desired effect. Not only Zilu served with greater enthusiasm, but Yurang, who was responsible for leading the people to drive away the prey, was full of excitement. Even his fiancée Fen Ying's eyes turned into the shape of "hearts".
After the hunting in the first few days, Zhiyao, Wei Ju and Han Geng, as the core, gathered together again. It was inevitable to compete with each other to see who had more prey.
The further back they went, the more serious the blows Wei Ju and Han Geng received.
Zhiyao not only harvested the most prey, but some animals with good fur were also hit in the eyes without damaging the fur itself.
They are not hopeless playboys. If you rule out the possibility of fraud, you can guess the quality of the opponent's shooting skills just by looking at the prey!
"Jin also has Youji!" Wei Ju said with an expression of admiration.
When Han Geng heard this, he had a very complicated look in his eyes.
