The annual meeting of the Mo's Village was a grand event of the Mo's Village, and it was also an open meeting. The Mo's would invite many families to attend the meeting.
However, there were many young faces in the audience this year. They were all good families from Guanzhong who came to the Mo's Village to propose marriage. All of them were invited to attend the meeting.
It was rare for so many good families from Guanzhong to gather together. On the one hand, the conditions of the Mo's Village were excellent. On the other hand, most of the daughters of the Mo's Village were well-educated. Most of them were well-educated and knew how to manage their families. Moreover, most of them were admitted to the Women's Medical College. Once they got married, the medical problems of their in-laws would be solved directly. That was why so many people came to propose marriage.
When these good families from Guanzhong saw the prosperity of the Mo's Village, they looked at the unmarried girls in the Mo's Village, looking for the one they liked. Suddenly, they were interrupted by a burst of noise.
"The young master is here!"
"The princess is here too!"
…
With the exclamations of the Mo's Family, the good families from Guanzhong saw a fairy-like couple of their age coming towards them. They couldn't help sighing. Mo Jiazi had been famous in Chang 'an a few years ago, while they were still mediocre.
Meton sat in the middle with Princess Changle. He waved his hand, and the meeting of the Mo's Village officially began.
As the meeting of the Mo's Village began, the good families from Guanzhong were stunned by the achievements of the Mo's Village. Astronomical figures floated in their minds, reminding them that the Mo's Village was the richest in the world. The annual dividends were enough for ordinary people to live a poor life.
"Is this the ideal Mo's Family in your mind?" In the audience, Li Yun heard the achievements of the Mo's Village and couldn't help murmuring. What really moved him was that the Mo's Village had invested a huge amount of money in the development of the Mo's Skill. The biggest investment was the research and development of the steel cable of the Wei River Bridge and the third generation of steel.
Compared with the Mo's Village, the Xiangfu's Family seemed to be very stingy.
Tian Qiong was already used to this. He was in charge of Mo Magazine and was very familiar with the village. As far as he knew, there were many confidential projects in the village that Mo Jiazi was directly in charge of. The only ones that were made public were the Mo Skills that were not confidential.
The other hundred families were also speechless. Although the Mo Family's profits were shocking, the amount they invested into the Mo Skills was equally shocking. In fact, they even took up the majority of the profits. However, the proportion that was actually used for the construction and enjoyment of the Mo Family Village was not much. This kind of Mo Family was the most terrifying.
And Princess Changle, who attended the meeting of the Mo's Village for the first time, was also proud. The more powerful the Mo's Village was, the more it proved that her decision to marry Meton was right.
As the procedures were carried out in an orderly manner, the meeting of the Mo's Village gradually came to an end. In the end, when Meton stood up, the meeting was suddenly silent. Everyone stared at the creator of the miracle of the Mo's Village. Moreover, every public speech of Mo Jiazi was always surprising.
"Today, I won't talk about the Mo Skills or the Mo Classics. I will talk about The Book of Songs." Meton did not behave as everyone expected. Instead, he changed his usual attitude and said loudly.
"The Book of Songs?" Everyone was stunned. The Book of Songs was a classic work of the Confucians. However, Meton mentioned it in public at the meeting of the Mo's Village, which sounded very strange.
"You don't know this! Although The Book of Songs is a classic of the Confucians, it is only the poems of the Spring and Autumn Period collected and arranged by the Confucians. It is not made by the Confucians. " A good son of the Guanzhong family, who had been educated for several years, said proudly. Since Mo Jiazi mentioned The Book of Songs on his own initiative, didn't it mean that his chance was much greater?
"The Book of Songs says: A fair and virtuous woman is a good match for a gentleman. Right now, there is a fair and virtuous woman in the Mo's Village waiting to be betrothed. Naturally, there will be gentlemen coming to ask."
Many of the Guanzhong family members couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Everyone knew that they had come for the Mo Family woman. Now that Meton had mentioned it in public, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed. The Mo Family woman was natural and unrestrained, her eyes occasionally glancing at the Guanzhong disciples.
"There is nothing wrong with men and women getting married. In terms of pursuing love, I am also one of them. In the past, many people laughed at me for being a toad wanting to eat swan meat," Merton said with a laugh.
Everyone couldn't help but smile. Everyone knew about the love story between Meton and Princess Changle. Which man and woman did not yearn for this kind of romantic love?
Princess Changle could not help but feel ashamed and resentful. She viciously pinched Modun's waist. Modun, this blabbermouth, could say anything. Princess Changle's skin was thin, so how could she remain silent?
"Yet if everyone is familiar with the Book of Songs, you will find that most of these love poems end in tragedy. 'South Zhao? Jiang Yousi ',' Dark Wind? Bo Boat ',' Dark Wind? Sun and Moon ',' Dark Wind? Gu Feng ',' Wang Feng? Zhong Gu Youjin ',' Wei Feng? Ruffian ',' Zheng Feng? Following the Great Road ',' Little Ya? I Walk in the Wild ',' Little Ya? Gu Feng ',' Little Ya? Bai Hua '… "With each song that Meton mentioned, everyone became more silent. The entire place slowly became silent.
Even the Mo Family women who were almost blinded by love couldn't help but calm down. These poems all ended in tragedy for the woman.
"For the sake of your future regret, this marquis should quickly say some things in advance," Meton looked around and said loudly.
Some of the Guanzhong families tensed. They immediately knew that the Mo Family's conditions had come. They were mentally prepared. The Mo Family had promised such good conditions, so they naturally had to have conditions.
"The Mo Family has always practiced monogamy since ancient times. In other words, they do not allow concubines," Meton said loudly.
"Not allowed concubines?" Many of the Guanzhong families stilled. They were willing to marry the Mo Family women largely because of the Mo Family's wealth. Even if the Mo Family women were ugly, as long as they had money, they could take in a beautiful concubine. But Meton shattered their dreams.
"Not only are they not allowed to take concubines, they are not even allowed to stay in brothels, and they are not allowed to have affairs with other women," Meton said mercilessly.
Many of the Guanzhong families were dissatisfied, but no one showed it. After all, they had not yet married the Mo Family women. It was unreasonable for them to want to take in concubines.
Meton looked at the crowd and said loudly, "Perhaps you are dissatisfied, but you should know that this is the iron law of the Mo Family Village. Not only do you abide by it, even Brother Mo Jiazi abides by it. Even I, Meton, abides by this iron law."
"Wow!"
All of a sudden, there was an uproar in the crowd. Among the dignitaries in Chang 'an, even the rich, most of them had many wives and concubines. The Mo Family Village was the richest in the world, and Mo Dun was even more powerful. He actually insisted on monogamy, which was a clear stream in Chang' an City. In Chang 'an City, the custom of marrying concubines when one was rich was particularly conspicuous.
Although it was the second time that Princess Changle had heard Meton say this, she still looked proud and raised her head to look at Meton affectionately.
Among the people of the Mo Family Village, two fairy-like girls heard this and their faces darkened. They were Zi Yi and Gong Sunyue, the founders of the kindergarten.
"Have you known this for a long time?" Gong Sunyue looked at Zi Yi and asked with red eyes.
Zi Yi nodded and said, "Of course, this is the tradition of the Mo Family Village. No one has ever made an exception. "
"You know it is impossible, but you still like him?" Gong Sunyue was puzzled.
"Although he treats me like brother and sister, there is no other man in the world who can catch my eye when I meet such a man! You mean they … "Zi Yi pointed at the dumb Guanzhong families and shook her head with a smile.
Gong Sunyue could not help but feel sad. She had to admit that Zi Yi was right.
"What about you?" Zi Yi asked.
Gong Sunyue's face showed a trace of shyness and said, "When he drew my first portrait, I couldn't help but fall in love with him. When I was redeemed from the Educational Division and restored my status, although it was just to buy wine, it changed my life. Although I know I am not good enough for him, even if I don't have a status, as long as I can stay by his side, it is enough for me. I didn't expect him to be so unique. "
"This is my young master!" Zi Yi said with tears in her eyes.
"Yes, this is the most perfect him in my heart!" Gong Sunyue said with a sincere smile on her face.
Which girl in the world did not dream of having a man come to her rescue? Which girl did not want to have a love that could never be separated? And Meton had achieved all these, although that woman was not them.
"He is indeed the one I love!" The two girls said proudly in their hearts. This kind of Meton was truly worthy of their love.
