A Yuela is a Mosuo girl who lives by the Lugu Lake on the border of Nanzhao (Yunnan).
The "walking marriage" system is popular among the Mosuo people. After a man and a woman look at each other and hold a ceremony, they can get along like lovers.
If they get tired of the relationship, they can end it at any time and find their next lover.
Children born by a woman are raised by the woman's brothers and sisters and do not require men to worry about them.
Ah Yuela was born into such a large matrilineal family.
She knew who her father was, but she wasn't close to her father. It was her mother and uncle who really raised her.
A Yuela, who had held an adult ceremony, began to help the family run the caravan business.
She wants to take Pu'er tea and Dian black tea into Tubo along the Tea Horse Road.
After selling the goods on hand, she would buy precious medicinal materials and fine horses in Tubo and sell them to the Black Food (Arab Empire).
Her footprints have traveled all over mountain trails, snowy plateaus, and Gobi deserts...
Ah Yuela thought that her life would continue like this until she saved a man in Tubo.
She knew that the man was a spy sent by the Tang Dynasty to find out information about Tubo. But it doesn't matter, she just wants him to be good-looking and strong, and she wants to be with him for a while. When the journey was over, they parted ways.
The man was a little reluctant at first. She shows kindness to him, but he hides. Later, he was defeated by Ah Yuela's offensive, and the eyes he looked at Ah Yuela gradually changed from resistance to tenderness.
After returning to Nanzhao Kingdom, A Yuela was ready to break up with the man.
The man seemed to have made a lot of determination and held her shoulders: "Come back to Chang'an with me and be my concubine! Although I can't give you the position of the principal concubine right away, I promise that as long as you give birth to an heir, I will make you my only principal concubine!"
Ayula:? ? ?
What concubine? What kind of concubine? What does her child have to do with him? ? ?
Ah Yuela waved away his hand: "You are you, I am me, I am not yours, and I will not become yours."
Reading notes:
1. The heroine is a Mosuo, with a matrilineal social mindset, and will carry out the walking marriage system to the end. Bao who cannot accept this system should not come in.
2. The male protagonist is a feudal indigenous man. He has no ideas beyond the times, but he is more love-minded.
3. This article has nothing to do with feminism, nor is it a heroine article. It just talks about the collision of two different ideas and cultures.
4. The parallel world is based on the Tang Dynasty, and no research is required.
