Chapter 274 275. If you get married before the age of 20, you will die!
Some came in person from afar.
Zhou Yi and Lei Li both stopped their official duties. They left everything, whether it was the escort caravan, the teacher hired by the Meng family, or several officials from the Hanlin Academy in Kyoto, to Governor Duanmu. They turned a deaf ear to official business and focused on accompanying their family.
Key points:
Family members.
Zhou Yi was very unwelcome to the rather unnecessary Young Master Lin. Lei Li said that Lin Zhong was quite handsome, but in his heart he still preferred his own Zhou Zhou and did not want Zhou Zhou to get married and leave the house so early.
Moreover, compared with the Changning Marquis Mansion, the Duke of Su's Mansion is obviously more powerful. If Lei Zhouzhou really marries there, it would actually be considered marrying above her station.
"The powerful in Kyoto place great importance on family etiquette. If the clothes or jewelry they wear are even slightly outdated or inappropriate, they will be laughed at in private."
Zhou Yi frowned, and his voice grew more and more worried as he spoke. "Zhou Zhou grew up in the village. Our family doesn't restrict children's personalities. As long as they don't commit crimes or harm others, we don't interfere."
"After you became the Marquis of Changning, we didn't have any special requirements for Zhou Zhou's etiquette. We even hired a martial arts teacher for Zhou Zhou to learn martial arts, horse riding and archery."
Lei Zhouzhou is very talented in martial arts. His martial arts teachers all praise him for his quick learning. If he were a man, he might be able to pass the imperial examination and become the top martial arts champion.
But he is a brother.
Very different from the noble guys in Kyoto.
Other boys are gentle and virtuous, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and flowers; while Lei Zhouzhou is outspoken and heroic, proficient in swords, spears, sticks, riding, archery and darts, and he is incompatible with the noble ladies and brothers in Kyoto.
Even the girls and boys from military families are not as rough and straightforward as Lei Zhouzhou.
"I know what you mean."
Lei Li said, also pondering, "The Duke of Su's family has a deep foundation and many rules. Compared to other families in Kyoto, it is considered to have a small population, but it still has several close relatives and distant relatives."
"Zhou Zhou is a simple-minded person. He speaks and acts directly and is not good at beating around the bush. I'm afraid he might be used as a pawn without even realizing it."
"right."
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Comparisons between the nobles are also very serious. Lin Zhong's eldest brother married a princess, and the princess dresses very elegantly. If they go to other people's banquets, the princess and Zhou Zhou will easily be compared."
"Other people wear gold and silver, pheasant heads and fox armpits. If Zhou Zhou wears too plain, people will laugh at him for being petty. If he wears too much, Zhou Zhou will feel constrained and dislike it."
Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run.
Zhou Yi originally just thought that Zhou Zhou was too young, his body was not well developed, and his values, especially his views on love, were not yet complete, so he was not suitable for romance. That's why he disliked Lin Zhong, who had bad intentions.
But he suddenly thought of the Duke Su Mansion behind Lin Zhong, and he disliked Lin Zhong even more.
Besides Lin Zhong, there are so many young men from wealthy families in Kyoto. Zhou Yi doesn't think any of them would be a good candidate for a son-in-law.
"It's better to marry a son-in-law."
Zhou Yi came to a conclusion.
Find a man with good character, good looks, and no family background, and who Zhou Zhou likes, to be Zhou Zhou's son-in-law. If they have a child in the future, the child will take Zhou Zhou's surname.
If this son-in-law changes his mind or cheats on his wife in the future, divorce him.
If Zhou Zhou wants to remarry, she can find another son-in-law. If not, the Changning Marquisate can afford to support Zhou Zhou and the child. It is better to prevent Zhou Zhou from being bullied than to get married and be bullied by others.
"Then I will."
Lei Li nodded in agreement. "Zhou Zhou has a strong personality, but she only reports good news and not bad news. If Zhou Zhou really gets married, we might not know whether she is living a good life or not, and we won't be able to support her in time."
In this era, the secular world says that a daughter or son who is married off is like spilled water, and her parents’ family becomes her in-laws’ family, almost becoming two separate families.
Being divorced is a common thing for a woman, but it is extremely difficult for a woman to get a divorce. The first reason is that gossip can easily lead to divorce.
After much difficulty in getting a divorce, even though it was the woman and the boy who were wasted and suffered the most, they were still the ones who were scolded the most.
For example, when Miao Fulang and Niu Dali divorced, everyone in the village knew that it was Niu Dali's domestic violence and gambling addiction, but they still said that Miao Fulang was cruel and made the young Xiaobao lose his father.
Lei Li and Zhou Yi don't want Zhou Zhou to suffer all this. If the son-in-law does something wrong to Zhou Zhou, they have plenty of ways to make Zhou Zhou lose her husband accidentally.
The couple reached an agreement.
As a result, Lin Zhong soon discovered that he and Zhou Zhou had no chance to be alone together, and when he wanted to express his loyalty to Zhou Zhou, someone would always interrupt his spells.
Lei Zhouzhou was unaware of this and felt that he was having a very happy time in Qingyuan.
Aya and Aqi's two little nephews are very cute. They are always chattering to him and telling him many interesting stories and secrets about the grassland.
Cousin Huaer and her husband were also very kind to him. They took him horseback riding during the day, taught him how to herd, how to trim a horse's hair, how to get along with horses with different personalities, and let him ride his favorite horse.
Cousin Huaer's horse is a majestic chestnut female wild horse, and my cousin-in-law's horse is a big black horse with white clouds under its feet. It looks very handsome, and it was because of its handsomeness that it attracted the wild horse and kept it.
Cousin Huaer also asked him to pick a pony, saying it was a coming-of-age gift for him.
——Boys and girls can get married and have children at the age of fifteen, so at this time, they are considered adults.
Lei Zhouzhou was very happy to have his own pony, and he picked out the white pony that he fell in love with on the first day he arrived.
It was a pony that was completely snow-white, without a single speck of other color.
Because it runs the fastest and has an outstanding appearance, this little white horse is very arrogant. It doesn't allow people to touch it, let alone ride it. But when Lei Zhouzhou stretched out his hand, it lowered its head and rubbed Zhouzhou's palm.
"A Mian."
Lei Zhouzhou fondly stroked the little white horse, his eyes curved with joy. "My name is Lei Zhouzhou. From now on, I'll call you Amian, okay? Amian?"
The little white horse snorted and rubbed its head against Lei Zhouzhou's hand obediently, making Lei Zhouzhou laugh. It even lowered its body to let Lei Zhouzhou ride on it and carried him around for fun.
Lei Zhouzhou met many horse and sheep friends on the grassland, as well as many human friends, including Aya and Aqi, a bunch of little radish heads, and a group of teenagers on the grassland.
The boys and girls spoke Dayou Mandarin not very fluently, and Lei Zhouzhou also learned their grassland dialect and chatted with them using not very standard pronunciation.
Neither side spoke standardly or fluently, but the teenagers burst into laughter.
The young men on the grassland also put together a set of neat and beautiful grassland clothes and gave it to Lei Zhouzhou.
Some people donated coats that they were reluctant to wear, some donated boots made by their mothers, and some made necklaces with their own hands, strung together with beautiful stones such as turquoise and red agate.
Lei Zhouzhou wore this outfit, and her hair was braided into a grassland-style braid by her friends.
He mounted his horse and galloped aimlessly across the vast green grassland, in the warm sunset, and in the rustling wind, with high spirits and a beautiful face.
It became an unforgettable scene in Lin Zhong's eyes and heart, and also moved the young people on the grassland.
So, Lei Li and his wife, who had been on guard against Lin Zhong day and night, suddenly found that they could not guard against others.
The young men on the grassland were more straightforward than the people of Dayou Dynasty. Once they found someone they liked, they would show their affection rashly by giving flowers from the grassland, homemade kumis, and fruits from the east that they were reluctant to eat.
Then, with a blushing face and a pair of shy yet passionate eyes, he confessed his love to his sweetheart in the halting words of Dayou.
"Like me?"
It was the first time Lei Zhouzhou heard someone confess their love to him. He was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said straightforwardly, "I like you too! I like all of you! We'll be good friends forever!"
The boy from the grassland blushed first, then turned happy, and finally ran away crying.
Lei Zhouzhou was completely confused. He didn't know why he told Lin Zhong that he liked them, but he ran away crying. The slow-witted Lei Zhouzhou even told Lin Zhong about it, "Why did he cry and run away?"
"have no idea."
Lin Zhong shook his head, but his hands at his sides suddenly clenched. He looked at the confused Lei Zhouzhou, struggling in his heart whether to confess to him. What if he was rejected too?
Whenever Lei Zhouzhou couldn't figure out something, he would ask someone. If he couldn't get an explanation from Lin Zhong, he would ask his two knowledgeable fathers.
"Because you rejected his confession and said that we would always be good friends, that meant that we would just be friends and not husband and wife."
Zhou Yi was serious, even solemn, "But Zhou Zhou did a great job. You are still young, and it is too early for you to fall in love. If someone says something similar to you in the future, you must refuse him."
"You can only date after you turn eighteen, and you can't get married until you're twenty-five...at least twenty, okay?"
"Know."
Lei Zhouzhou nodded, but then became a little confused. "But am I still too young even though I'm fifteen? My brother is already married to my sister-in-law at this age, so why should I wait until I'm twenty to get married?"
"Because my brother is a man and Zhou Zhou is a boy, they are different."
Zhou Yi spoke nonsense in a serious tone, "Think about it, with your father's good looks and personality, he could marry any man he wanted. Would he have waited until he was twenty to get married after meeting my father?"
"Because boys and girls in our family can only get married after the age of twenty, if they get married before the age of twenty they will die."
"real?"
Lei Zhouzhou blinked. "Is it a curse? Or a genetic disease?"
“It’s a genetic disease.”
Zhou Yi said righteously, "If a boy or girl from our Lei family gets intimate with a man too early, especially having sex, they are likely to die young."
"So Zhou Zhou, for your own sake, as well as for Daddy and Grandfather, you absolutely must not get married or have sex before you turn twenty, understand?"
"knew."
Lei Zhouzhou nodded obediently, then asked curiously, "But what is sex?"
Although Lei Li and Zhou Yi partied almost every night and sometimes even had sex during the day, the couple were still very serious in front of others and would even avoid others when kissing.
therefore.
Lei Shengjiang had been talking about marrying Brother Xiaobao since he was a child, but it was only after marriage that he understood what sex was all about. Lei Zhouzhou, the upright young man, had no idea at all.
"this……"
Zhou Yi was a little embarrassed after realizing it belatedly and looked at Lei Li, "Let Daddy tell you."
