Jiang Chuan laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid? Are you not afraid and you still run so fast?" The others laughed when they saw this.
Jiang Chuan and Zhao Kuangyin are cousins, and Jiang Chuan is the son of Zhao Kuangyin's aunt. Zhao Kuangyin's grandfather only had two children, Zhao Kuangyin's father and his aunt, so the two families have always been close.
Jiang Chuan and Zhao Kuangyin grew up together, so they have a good relationship and often joke with each other.
Jiang Chuan took Ye Feng back home and introduced his family to Ye Feng. There were five people in Jiang Chuan's family, Jiang Chuan, Jiang Chuan's mother, Jiang Chuan's wife and a pair of children.
Jiang Chuan pointed to his mother and said, "This is my mother."
Ye Feng saluted and said, "Hello, aunt."
Jiangchuan's mother was mending clothes and ignored Ye Feng.
Jiang Chuan explained awkwardly: "My mother is deaf and can't hear. No wonder."
Jiang Chuan continued to introduce: "This is my wife Jia Shuangbai." During this period, the feudal etiquette had not yet been poisoned, and a woman did not add her surname to a man before marrying her.
Ye Feng said: "Hello, sister-in-law, "The grass is green and the white dew is frost." It comes from "The Book of Songs. National Style. Qin Feng". What a good name." The second half of the sentence, "The so-called beauty is on the side of the water." Ye Feng did not dare to say it.
Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "Of course, my husband is also educated."
Jiang Chuan pointed to his daughter and said, "This is my eldest daughter Yang Yiying."
Ye Feng said with a smile: "Hello little sister, "In the past I was gone, the willows were Yiyi. Now I come to think about it, the rain and snow are falling." It comes from "The Book of Songs. Xiaoya. What the Deer Mings. Picking Wei", a good name.
During the Pre-Qin Dynasty, men were called by their family name instead of their surname, while women were called by their family name but not their family name. At the same time, men and women with the same surname did not get married.
In addition, a woman’s given name comes first and her surname comes last. Jiangchuan’s surname is Jiang, so the surname originated from Jiang State.
The daughter’s surname is Ying, so Yang Yiying’s surname is not Yang but Ying.
Moreover, Ying is Jiangchuan's biological son with the same surname, so don't even think about it.
In addition, Jia Shuangbai’s surname is Bai, not Jia.
For example, during the Spring and Autumn Period, all the kings of Qi had the surname Jiang and Lu. Duke Xi of Qi was called Lu Lufu in the history books, his son Duke Huan of Qi was called Lu Xiaobai, and his two daughters were named Wen Jiang and Xuan Jiang.
Of course, Wen Jiang's "Wen" is not necessarily her real name. Some names are named after rankings, such as "Shao Jiang".
Some are named after their own country, such as "Qi Jiang" and "Chen Gui".
Some are named after the country name of the husband's country, such as "Han Ji" and "Qin Ji".
Some are named after their husbands' posthumous names, such as "Zhuang Jiang" and "Xuan Jiang".
Some people take the husband's surname as the surname of the mother's family, such as "Leqi".
In addition, if a woman remarries, her title in the history books will also change.
For example, the third daughter of Duke Mu of Qin first married Duke Huai of Jin, so she was named Huaiying. Later, she remarried Duke Wen of Jin, and became Chenying in historical records.
Yang Yiying blushed after hearing this, and Jia Shuangbai looked in his eyes and covered his mouth and snickered.
Jiangchuan smiled again and continued: "This is my son Edo."
Ye Feng said awkwardly: "Uh, what a good name."
Everyone was stunned, thinking that Ye Feng could also recite a poem, but unexpectedly he only said a good name.
Especially Edo's embarrassed smile gradually disappeared.
In the Pre-Qin Dynasty, when some men's names were called by putting their real name and cousin's name together, the correct order of use was first the given name and then the given name.
For example, Baili Xi's son Meng Mingshi, whose surname is Jiang and Baili's family name, is Shi and whose courtesy name is Mengming.
When men reach adulthood, some men will adopt a pseudonym. It is impolite to call them by their given names, so they call them by adding the pseudonym to their surname. For example, Kongqiu is given the name Zhongni, and some people call him Kongniqiu.
After the Han Dynasty, the rules were changed, and the names were given first and then the characters. For example, the seven sons of Jian'an were called Kong Rong Wenju, Chen Lin, Kong Zhang, Wang Can, Zhongxuan, etc.
In addition, some people say that Ying Zheng is actually the name of the Duzun family who deliberately humiliated Qin Shihuang.
In the "Book of Han", he is directly called Lu Zheng. The name "Lu Zheng" comes from the nonsense in "Historical Records", saying that Qin Shihuang was the illegitimate son of Lu Buwei.
The Duzun family often does this kind of thing. When their ancestor was in charge of the laws of the Lu State, he falsely accused the wife of a horse breeder in the Lu State of adultery. He didn't arrest anyone without evidence, so he just went around telling the story.
In the end, the woman was forced to death, and the horse-breeding merchants were forced to leave the state of Lu. In the end, the state of Lu was short of war horses, and later it was constantly defeated in the war with the state of Qi.
However, I personally think Qin Shihuang should be the Qin family, and some people may think it is the Zhao family, which is wrong.
I think Zhao's biggest mistake was that they didn't think about things in this era.
Let’s not talk about whether the Qin family’s Ying surname is a branch of the Zhao family. Even if it is a branch of the Zhao family, they will change it to the Qin family.
The surname is given by the ancestors and is the honor of the ancestors. The surname is personal honor. If you can choose another surname, it is a recognition of yourself. Why not change it?
Even if a person with the Ying surname of Zhao obtains a fiefdom in the Qin State, this person will use the new Qin surname to brand himself, so the Ying surname of the Qin State will definitely be the Qin family.
The reason why family history books say it is the Zhao family is to deny the Qin family, and to say it is the Lu family is to slander.
Another thing is that Mi Yue should be called Yue Mi, with her given name in front and her surname in the back. Many pre-Qin women were called so-and-so Ji. Not everyone was called Ji, like Dabaojian. Instead, they all had the surname Ji, which was a common surname at that time.
Jiangchuan's father died early, and his mother went to live with his younger brother in order to take care of his children. Jia Shuangbai's father also died early, leaving his mother-in-law to live with his eldest son.
Jiangchuan's eldest daughter Yang Yiying is a well-known beauty. She will be in her 29th year next year, that is, she will be 18 years old.
During this period, women could get married at the age of fifteen. Jiang Chuan had been reluctant to marry his daughter off, and he had never found a suitable family.
The ritual system of the Western Zhou Dynasty stipulates that when a man reaches the age of twenty, he should "put his head in front of his husband" (pull all his hair up to the top of his head into a bun, and wear a small hat "guan" to protect the bun) to indicate adulthood.
For women, when they are fifteen years old, their hair is "combed into a bun" (that is, their hair is combed into a bun that hangs down the back of their head), which is when they reach adulthood.
"Han Feizi": A man gets married when he is twenty, and a woman gets married when she is fifteen.
"The Rites of Zhou, Local Officials and Situ, The Matchmaker" contains detailed regulations: "The Matchmaker is in charge of the judgment of all people. Every man and woman who has become famous or above will have their name recorded in the name of the year, month and day."
"You are ordered to marry a man at thirty and a woman at twenty. Anyone who marries a wife who has been married to his son must write it down. In the middle of the spring month, the man and woman are ordered to meet, so it is the right time. Those who run away are not allowed to do so. If you do not use the order without any reason, you will be punished.
Of."
"Men and women who do not have husbands will meet together. Anyone who marries a son or a wife can pay no more than five taels of pure silk. It is forbidden to relocate those who are buried and those who marry. The lawsuits between men and women will be heard in the society of the victorious country. It is attached
Those who are punished will be punished by scholars."
There is also a record in "Book of Rites": "A woman gets her haircut at the age of fifteen and gets married at the age of twenty. For some reason, she gets married at the age of twenty-three.
To sum up, during this period, a woman becomes an adult at the age of fifteen and must marry before the age of twenty. For some reasons or special circumstances, the latest is twenty-three. A man can marry at the age of twenty, and the latest is three.
Ten years old.
Many people think that "a man must be married at thirty and a woman must be married at twenty." This is the lower limit of the marriage age, which is wrong. This refers to the upper limit.
According to "Shuowen Jiezi", the original meaning of order is to issue an order, so here it means to order you to marry, and it means to enforce it.
Corresponds to the following sentence "If an order is not followed without reason, he will be punished." It means that anyone who does not obey the order will be punished unless there are special circumstances.
Edo is much taller than his peers. He looks like he is seventeen or eighteen years old, but he is actually only eleven years old. Many people think that he is Yang Yiying's brother.
Jiang Chuan's surname Ying comes from Jiang State, and it is said that his ancestor was the king of Jiang State.
Later, several brothers fought for the position of king and committed fratricide. The ancestors of Jiangchuan did not want to commit fratricide, so they fled and took refuge here.
Jiangchuan's family has "two bedrooms and one living room", and the house is divided into three rooms.
The innermost room is where the daughter and Jiang's mother lived, the middle room is where the couple lived, and the outermost room is the living room, kitchen and dining room, and the son is the director.
It is said to be a house, but it is actually a very deep cave dwelling divided into three rooms.
It can be said that it is a cut-out "two bedrooms and one living room". It is very dark inside during the day.
In fact, this kind of living conditions was considered to be above average at this time, because there were still many people living in mud houses or thatched houses.
Now Ye Feng has come to redistribute the rooms, and his daughter, Jiang's wife and Jiang's mother live together, Jiang Chuan and Ye Feng live in the same room, and Edo continues to be the director.
Jiang Chuan's wife was very virtuous and did not express dissatisfaction because Jiang Chuan brought a stranger back.
You must know that many people do not have enough to eat during this period, and most people are not willing to bring a stranger home for a few days.
Jiangchuan's wife cooked in the cave, Yang Yiying helped wash and cut the food, and Edo helped chop wood and light the fire.
Ye Feng and Jiang Chuan were sitting outside the door chatting.
Ye Feng asked tentatively: "I met Zhao Kuangyin. Brother Zhao is a generous man, and he should be nice to everyone."
Jiang Chuan looked a little proud when he mentioned Zhao Kuangyin and said, "My eldest cousin is a strange man. He is born with great strength. He has served in the army and made military exploits."
Having said this, Jiang Chuan continued with a little pride: "When we were fighting Xirong, my eldest cousin killed more than a dozen Xirong soldiers and two soldiers. He was rewarded with two hundred acres of land and a house."
During this period, there were no corresponding laws regarding rewards and punishments for military merit.
After Shang Yang's reform, military merit was divided into twenty levels and twenty titles. One soldier's head could buy a field, a house, and a slave.
In the army, you will also enjoy different food benefits according to different titles, and you will be awarded the title of Duke and receive corresponding corn as your annual salary.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the soldiers wearing armor in the army were all elite soldiers. He was surrounded by at least four ordinary soldiers or slave soldiers for protection, so it was still difficult to kill an armored soldier.
Also, on the one hand, the number of soldiers during this period was very small. On the other hand, the soldiers were protected by armor.
An ordinary soldier is clothed in civilian clothes, and the weapons on both sides are not equal. The other side mostly uses metal bronze swords as weapons, while ordinary soldiers use long wooden poles and bronze halberds as weapons.
Therefore, it is quite difficult for an ordinary soldier to kill a soldier.
Jiangchuan's eldest cousin Zhao Kuangyin had to participate in many large-scale battles before he had the opportunity to kill two soldiers, which was enough to show his extraordinary bravery.
According to the records of "Zhou Li. Da Situ": "One hundred acres of land cannot be exchanged, two hundred acres of land can be exchanged, and three hundred acres of land can be exchanged again." In other words, only one hundred acres of fertile land can be obtained during this period.
Feed a family of five.
During this period, most families cultivated at least a hundred acres. "Mencius" records that "the Zhou people cultivated a hundred acres."
"If you don't take away a hundred acres of land, then a family of several people will not be hungry."
The reason why so many fields were cultivated to feed so few people during this period was due to problems with farming technology and grain types. For example, the method of furrow and ridge farming had not yet been invented during this period.
It was not until the late Spring and Autumn Period that the furrow and ridge farming method appeared, and it took a thousand years for Far Western countries to develop this farming technology. Therefore, during this period when farmers were farming, most countries would not go to war or requisition civilian labor.
