Ancient marriage certificates.
Love has always been selfish, both ancient and modern. Nowadays, the monogamy we practice is still unable to control the hearts of some men, and in ancient times, the status of women was not high, and the situation was even worse. On the issue of emotion, they will not share it with others, they will not allow it to be invaded by other women, and they all hope that they can be with the person next to them for a lifetime.
Unfortunately, there was no Marriage Law in ancient times, and laws protecting women's rights and interests were even rarer. Women of lower status could only watch their husbands take concubines. Even if they don't take concubines, some will go to the land of smoke and willows to fool around, in order to prevent their husbands from cheating, many women in ancient times have made efforts, let's take a look at how they do it, right?
The first to appear was Lu Shi, the wife of Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty
In Fang Xuanling's later years, because of his hard work, Taizong Li Shimin gave him many beauties in order to reward him for his contributions, but Fang Xuanling politely declined every time. Tang Taizong was very annoyed, and after being pressed many times, he learned that the reason was actually from Fang Xuanling's wife Lu. The Lu family is very powerful, the family law is relatively strict, and Fang Xuanling is resolutely not allowed to take concubines. In order to do the ideological education work of Mrs. Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin specially appointed his wife Empress Changsun to persuade her, but unfortunately Fang Xuanling's face to the queen was not vain, but he just said: "The concubine would rather die of jealousy!" “
Tang Taizong was a little angry when he heard this, sent someone to bring her a jar of wine, and told her that if she continued to object, she would drink the poisonous wine. But she didn't expect that she was willing to drink the poisonous wine, and she didn't want to share Fang Xuanling with another woman, so she had to give up, and later Tang Taizong said with emotion: "I'm still afraid to see it, let alone Yu Xuanling." It can be seen that Lu's power is great.
A resolute attitude can stop a man from cheating, while some women are ruthless and kill those who seduce their husbands, using violence to protect their rights.
Appearing below is Emperor Wen of Sui's Dugu Queen. She belongs to the category of very powerful and tough methods. Not only did he agree with Emperor Wen of Sui for life: "In this life, we will always love each other, the sea is dry and rotten, and my chastity will not waver, and I vow not to have a son who is different." She also held the power of the harem alone, and asked other concubines not to dare to approach Emperor Wen of Sui. Once, Emperor Wen of Sui had just been contaminated by his concubine Yu Chi. As a result, this woman first. He was killed by Queen Dugu in the second day. Not only that, but she also followed Emperor Wen of Sui inseparably, and when Emperor Wen of Sui went to court, she went to work with Emperor Wen of Sui. After retiring from the dynasty, she returned to the harem with Emperor Wen of Sui to live. Eating together and sleeping together, Emperor Wen of Sui was like a prisoner, without a little space for himself.
Of course, not all women can be so iron-fisted, and ordinary women still try to impress their husbands with tenderness and prevent them from looking for flowers and willows.
There is an example of Zhao Mengfu's wife, Guan Sheng.
In addition, she also wrote such a very, very famous poem "My Nong Ci", indicating the attitude of resolutely not allowing concubines: "You and I are very affectionate. There are many feelings, and the heat is like fire. Take a piece of clay, twist one for you, and shape one for me. Break the two of us together and mix them with water. Pinch another you, and mold another me. I have you in the mud, and you have me in the mud. I was born with you and died with the same coffin. “
Even with such deep affection, Zhao Mengfu, the flower-hearted big robb, did not stop taking concubines because of this, which is also a sigh. Ancient Chinese women did not have a strong ability to be independent like women in modern society, and most of the time, they felt sorry for themselves and silently endured the fate of being left out and abandoned.
