The person who marries him is also exquisite, not just casual, but also classy. The highest standard of dowry is blood sisters, and there are many women in the same family. In the worst case, they will marry a maid. In fact, the work they undertake is the same, mainly taking care of the diet and daily life of the young lady and the male host. In addition, if necessary, they will also be maids. Generally speaking, a dowry maid can be upgraded to a concubine, but she will not be upgraded to a wife.
Explain how ancient men defined "three wives and four concubines". A man will know that the media married a woman, and this woman is the man's wife. In addition to wives, there will be side wives, some of whom are called Teng concubines. Concubine Teng has a higher status than those concubines. As mentioned earlier, sisters married by parents and sisters who have passed through clans can be Teng concubines in the man. Teng concubine's status is higher than that of the maid who marries her, and she belongs to a half wife.
This custom was very popular in the Warring States and the Three Kingdoms period and lasted until the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The purpose of dowry is not only to let them take care of the young couple's diet and daily life. In addition, these dowries are also a great guarantee for the woman's family. In case of illness or accidental death of women, these dowries will replace women and ensure their interests. In a fashionable word, it is "prepare for danger in times of peace", or it can be said that "rich water doesn't flow from outsiders".
Song Fujin, everything in life needs no explanation. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, a maid married him, but she did such a thing, not only sitting in the position of wife, but also becoming the founding queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty. She is the protagonist of this issue-Song Fujin.
Song Fujin was originally born in a scholarly family. At that time, it coincided with the chaos in the world, and Song Fujin was separated from his family in the war. It was adopted by Wang Rong, then an official. Wang Rong had a daughter about the same age as Song Fujin, so Song Fujin became Wang Rong's daughter's personal maid. In ancient times, the daughters of big families were usually equipped with close-fitting maids. On the one hand, she is looking for a playmate, because girls are required to stay in the boudoir before marriage and have no other entertainment. This Meidochan is her playmate.
On the other hand, this close-fitting maid will marry her, and it is better to have a bosom friend to take care of her in-laws. They soon reached the age of marriage, and Wang was betrothed to Xu Zhimo, Xu Wen's adopted son, and accompanied Wang to marry the Xu family.
In ancient poetry, there are three kinds of unfilial. After Wang married the Xu family, he was childless for many years. In order to keep her position, Miss Wang proposed to her husband that Song Fujin be a concubine. Everything is going well. Song Fujin was clever and quick-witted, and soon gave Xu Jiasheng a big fat son. A few years later, Miss Wang died of illness, and Song Fujin naturally took over his wife's position. For a dowry maid, this result is quite good. But the good fortune that belongs to Song Fujin has just begun.
Originally, the dowry maid came to assume this role, so that if anything happens to her wife, the dowry maid will go up and take on her unfinished obligations. In ancient times, people who could not divorce at will could only divorce their wives. Generally, if there is no heir, the wife will take the initiative to renew the house for her husband. As a servant girl, Song Fujin has no feelings for his wife, and with his own efforts, he has been recognized by everyone and naturally assumed this role.
Xu Zhi Patent became the founding emperor of Southern Tang Dynasty, and Song Fujin became the patent of Xu Zhi, the founding queen, formerly known as Doctor, and was the adopted son of Xu Wen under Yang Xingyi. Xu Zhimo was gifted from an early age and was very popular with Xu Wen and his wife. As an adult, Xu Zhimote got along well in North Korea because of his father. Xu Zhimo's official is getting bigger and bigger, and he is gradually dissatisfied with his current power. But after all, the adopted son can't compare with his own son, so he can only wait for the opportunity.
In 9 18 AD, Xu Zhigu finally ushered in the opportunity. Xu Wen's eldest son, Xu Zhixun, died at the hands of general Zhu Jin. In times of crisis, Xu Zhigu was appointed as the deputy envoy of Huainan to supervise the March, thus taking control of Nanwu. Xu's power is growing, which gradually aroused Xu Wen's vigilance. Xu Zhi can't sleep well after getting inside information. Xu Zhimo is also lucky. Xu Wen died of illness before he could make a move. Seeing that there are still pies in this world, Xu Zhimo not only relieved the threat, but also collected a wave of military power. With Xu Wen's military power, Xu Zhigu was even more powerful, usurping the throne directly and establishing the Southern Tang Dynasty. In order to show that he was born orthodox, he changed his name to Doctor, claiming to be a person after Tang Xianzong.
After the doctor proclaimed himself emperor, it was related to the later establishment. It turned out to be Wang's match According to the custom at that time, Wang should be made queen. Dr didn't do this, on the one hand, because Wang has been dead for many years, and there are no children. Moreover, Song Fujin worked in the position of General Affairs Office for many years, not only gave birth to a son, but also accompanied him conscientiously. After careful consideration, Dr. Wang was awarded the title of concubine, and Song Fujin was awarded the founding queen of Southern Tang Dynasty.
Postscript Song Fujin's life is full of ups and downs and luck. She didn't win the position as a wife by cheap means, but worked hard step by step by herself. Therefore, this founding queen deserves it.
