Lu Shangyu wondered in his mind, could it be that just now he was only thinking about tomorrow's ceremony, and he was also feeling guilty about the girl in front of him, so that he was not able to concentrate for a while, so it was not impossible that he saw it wrong.
Gu Nian kept smiling all the time and followed Lu Shangyu in the ancestral hall to admire the guqin.
The interior of the Lu family's ancestral hall is a ring-shaped structure.
In the middle, there is a tablet dedicated to the ancestors of the Lu family. On both sides and behind, there are the proud works of the ancestors of the Lu family who were specially preserved when they were making pianos.
Gu Nian looked at the guqin for a while and accidentally discovered something, so he turned his attention to the tablets enshrined in the ancestral hall.
She discovered that the number of female ancestors enshrined in the ancestral hall was much higher than that of male ancestors!
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that all those female ancestors were the wives of male ancestors.
In this era, three wives and four concubines should be allowed.
Even so, Gu Nian still felt that something was wrong.
Even if you can marry three wives and four concubines back home, under this strict hierarchical social system, the only women who can enter the ancestral hall and enjoy the worship of future generations are only the head wives!
No matter how favored the concubine is, she will definitely not be able to enter the ancestral hall and be enshrined by her descendants. Otherwise, the rules of this era will be chaotic.
Thinking like this, Gu Nian began to rely on his enhanced eyesight to carefully observe the words on the tablets.
Even if the medical conditions in this era are backward and the life expectancy of the population is generally low, the mortality rate of the Lu family's wife should not be so high.
If a man has the phenomenon of one or two wives dying, people will probably just sigh that that man had a bad life.
Moreover, Gu Nian also guessed that the voices of women warning her that she heard in her dream were the voices of the women who were brought back to the Lu Mansion and killed by the Lu family in the name of unmarried women.
It’s amazing to see it like this!
She discovered that every ancestor of the Lu family had married at least thirteen or four head wives!
It stands to reason that as long as the first wife is still alive, it is impossible to remarry the first wife. Even if you divorce your wife and marry another, the divorced wife cannot enter the Lu family ancestral hall.
Unless...the women who were married off as the Lu family's wives all died of unnatural deaths.
It seems that being the head wife of a descendant of the Lu family is a very high-risk profession. Its level of danger is comparable to that of the protagonist's parents in online novels!
That is, the previous wife has died and needs to marry another woman.
But what she sees now is that it is very common for the main wife to die and the husband to marry another.
Then, there can only be one reason for so many wives enshrined in the Lu family ancestral hall.
She believed that the truth about everything would be revealed when tomorrow's ceremony begins.
What she needs to do at this moment is to wait for the moment when something happens in the best condition, and then take corresponding measures to deal with it according to the situation.
Seeing that Gu Nian didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, Lu Shangyu quickly asked: "Xiaojing, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak?"
Seeing Lu Shangyu's expression of fear that he would discover something, Gu Nian felt it was ironic and ridiculous.
"Oh, it's nothing. I was just shocked by the exquisite craftsmanship of our ancestors. Thank you for walking with me for so long," Gu Nian said.
