The culture of the Han Dynasty was enlightened, and women did not stay at home like they did in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In fact, throughout the feudal history of more than two thousand years, although women's status was not as good as that of men, there were not so many rules and regulations around them.
The real turning point came during the Song Dynasty.
During the disgrace of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Huizong, Song Qinzong, as well as thousands of empress dowagers, empresses, concubines, noble concubines and even maids were plundered by the Jin people and headed north.
During this period, they suffered inhuman torture, which was an extremely shameful thing for the entire Han nation.
Therefore, the idea put forward by Cheng Yi, a Neo-Confucian at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, that "starving to death is a small matter, and a breach of integrity will cause a big problem" was carried forward, and then the Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was formed, and the requirements for women became more and more stringent.
At least in the Han Dynasty, women still had a certain degree of freedom, and allowing women to visit guests was also a sign of good relations and respect.
Moreover, Lu Bu was regarded as the benefactor who promoted Qin Yilu, so it was reasonable for his family members to come to pay homage to his benefactor.
After a while, I saw a woman coming gracefully.
If you look carefully, you can see that her eyebrows are like willow leaves in early spring, often filled with sadness about rain and clouds; her face is like peach blossoms in March, with a hint of romantic moonlight. The slender waist is graceful, and the restrained swallow is lazy; the sandalwood mouth is light, seducing the peaks and butterflies into chaos. The enchanting appearance of the jade is interpreted by the flowers, and the graceful appearance of the jade is fragrant.
Moving lightly on lotus steps, she came to Lu Bu. The woman bowed to him and said, "I pay my respects to Marquis Wen..."
Just kneeling on the ground, her waist became more and more slender and her hips were round.
In recent days... Lu Bu, who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Although this woman is not as charming and gorgeous as Diao Chan, she has a more mature charm. She is not as elegant and quiet as Cai Wenji, but she is even more enchanting.
Every gesture and gesture can make men think wildly. No wonder Guan Yu and Cao Cao couldn't control themselves when they saw him! This...kneel down here in this posture, who can bear it!
But he said that Lu Bu was lost in thought here. Qin Yilu couldn't help but feel happy when he saw it. Isn't there a way to do this?
The woman knelt for a long time but didn't see Lu Bu's response. She looked up secretly and saw Lu Bu looking at her with a serious expression. She couldn't help but blush. She quickly lowered her head and said: "I pay homage to Marquis Wen. Marquis Wen Hail!"
Only then did Lu Bu come back to his senses and laughed to cover up his embarrassment: "Haha, my wife... looks very much like an old friend of mine, so she got a little distracted. I'm sorry for that! Stop bowing and get up and talk!"
While talking, he secretly glanced at Qin Yilu.
Qin Yilu had a humble smile on his face without any anger at all.
"This is my wife, Mrs. Du. What are you doing standing still? Why don't you serve tea to Marquis Wen!" Qin Yilu said.
Du Shi came over and poured tea for Lu Bu.
Lu Bu couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect you to be so lucky!"
Qin Yilu laughed and said: "But I don't know which old friend of Marquis Wen is like me?"
"Pan Jinlian!" Lu Bu said without thinking.
Qin Yilu naturally didn't know who Pan Jinlian was, but he felt a little regretful. He had only met Lu Bu a few times? Asking about Lu Bu's old friend so abruptly, aren't you just looking for trouble?
However, he looked so much like his old friend, and with Lu Bu's leering expression, I thought it wouldn't be a big problem to implement his plan to trade his wife for a future.
So he coughed and said with a smile: "Enhou, I wonder what kind of errands can I do for Enhou?"
Lu Bu took a sip of tea and said, "Well, there's no rush. You just arrived in Pengcheng, so you should rest first and get familiar with it."
Qin Yilu said hurriedly: "Enhou is busy all day long, how can a villain dare to be lazy? Isn't that a betrayal of Enhou's wishes?"
Lu Bu smiled and said, "Oh? Since you said that, it would be a bad idea if I left you idle. Well, do you want to stay with me and work, or do you want to go out and get the magistrate of a big county?"
Qin Yilu said hurriedly: "I heard... Marquis Wen needs people to go to sea to capture some barbarians and come back to do hard work?"
Lu Bu was also a little surprised. He glanced at Qin Yilu and said, "With this matter... why, do you want to go to sea?"
Qin Yilu smiled and said: "Exactly, I heard from Enhou that there seems to be a shortage of labor. To be honest, my ability as a county magistrate is really average. I might as well do something better for Enhou..."
Lu Bu said: "It's not that I won't let you go, it's just that it takes a few days to get there by boat, and there are wind and waves, and you have to use force when you reach a barbarian land.
Regardless of whether you are at sea or in another place, the food and accommodation are not as comfortable as at home. In short, this is a dangerous and hard job..."
Qin Yilu said with a serious face: "Enhou, the villain is determined to do his best to relieve Enhou's problems. What does it mean to suffer a little hardship and be in danger?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu still didn't nod, but glanced at Du Shi and said:
"It's not that I'm unkind. There are regulations. Anyone who goes to sea, whether they are generals or soldiers, are not allowed to bring their family members, especially women!
Qin Yilu, you have such a beautiful wife in your family, how can you let go of her and how can you rest assured? "
Du Shi lowered his head and said nothing.
Qin Yilu smiled and said: "The Enhou has treated me with great kindness. Now that I have the opportunity to serve the Enhou, how can I care about the love between my children?
Moreover... I am staying in Pengcheng and being taken care of by my benefactor, so why should I feel uneasy..."
"Ah?" Lu Bu couldn't help but be stunned.
Looking at Qin Yilu's fawning expression and Du's shy look, Lu Bu realized that Qin Yilu had already made up his mind to use a beauty trap on him!
Lu Bu was still a little confused at first. He should not bully his friends and wives. After all, Qin Yilu came to join him and he could be regarded as his subordinate.
If I really couldn't help but occupy the Du family, the reputation of seizing the wives and concubines of my subordinates would not be very good. Who will be willing to seek refuge with him in the future?
But they took the initiative to deliver it to your door! Which cadre can withstand such a test?
Although a woman who takes the initiative to throw herself into his arms lacks a sense of accomplishment in conquest for Lu Bu, she is so greedy!
At the same time, he despised Qin Yilu even more.
Even his own woman can be used as a tool for him to climb up. What else can he not sell?
Selling yourself for greater interests in the future is nothing new!
In this case, sending Qin Yilu to sea might be a good choice!
If he can work for himself safely, let him stay overseas.
If he is not honest, let him die in a certain military operation, and that will be the end of it.
Having made up his mind, out of respect for women's subjective wishes, Lu Bu still asked Du:
"Are you willing to let Qin Yilu go to sea and suffer hardship? If you are not willing, I will not let him go."
