Why did Lv Zhi, who was in his twenties and eighties, marry Liu Bang, a loafer, who accomplished nothing and reached middle age?

First of all, I want to say that we should not be misled by the current costume drama. We always feel that in ancient times, marriage was our own choice. In fact, in ancient China, children did not have much freedom of marriage. That is to say, in ancient China, marriage itself was not the master, and the marriage of children was decided by parents. If their parents are gone, they have to listen to their brothers. If their brother is gone, they can hardly make their own decisions. Of course, their own decisions must be agreed by other elders in the family.

Lv Zhi was able to marry Liu Bang, but it was not Lv Zhi who wanted to marry Liu Bang himself. This decision was made by Lv Gong, that is, Lv Zhi's father helped Lv Zhi.

Then why did Lv Gong marry Lv Zhi to Liu Bang? There is such a little story.

It is said that when Lv Gong was three years old in Lv Zhi, he asked others to help his eldest daughter, Lv Zhi, calculate her life. The fortune teller told Lv Gong that if Lv Zhi met a man at the age of 20, he would look like a dragon. If you marry his daughter, her daughter will be expensive. Lv Gong asked him where to find this person. The fortune teller told him that when Lv Zhi was twenty, we would move. Wherever you want to move, the right person will wait for you. In ancient times, when a woman 15 years old, she had to pay a fine to the government. She was worried that Lu Hui would marry Lv Zhi prematurely. When she left, the fortune teller specifically told Lv Gong not to marry Lv Zhi until she was twenty years old.

Lv Gong can see things for himself. When Lv Zhi grew up, she became beautiful and generous. Lv Gong also thinks that Lv Zhi will be very rich in the future. Besides, the Lu family is a big family and can afford the fine, so they didn't get married until they were 20 years old. There is also an episode in the middle, that is, the county magistrate of Peixian County is an old classmate of Lv Gong. Seeing that Lv Zhi is beautiful and generous, he wants to get married and go home to be his son's wife. But when he came to propose, Lv Gong refused, because Lv Gong thought his daughter would be very rich in the future, and the son of the county magistrate was not worthy of his daughter.

Although a woman is still young at the age of 20, she could really be an older woman in ancient times. Although Lv Gong was superstitious, his heart really began to get a little anxious.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, Lv Zhi is finally 20 years old. Something really happened in our family, and we had to move to Pei County. As mentioned above, Lv Gong also looks at things. When he came to Pei County, Lv Gong vaguely felt that the fortune teller's words would come true, because Pei County had a dragon spirit. I was overjoyed and soon moved to my home to have a big banquet. Because Peixian county magistrate is an old classmate of Lv Gong, almost all the gentry in Peixian county came, and curator Liu Bang is obviously no exception.

At that time, because Lv Gong was new here, the county magistrate sent secretary Xiao He to help Lv Gong arrange guest seats. Pei county has a rule that seats are allocated according to the amount of gifts and status, and Xiao He is as busy as a bee. A voice said, "Ten thousand gifts". Looking back, Xiao He found Liu Banglai. Liu Bang is a famous tramp in Pei County. In everyone's impression, Liu Bang's family is poor and unreliable. He is forty years old, and everyone else has started to have grandchildren. He did not marry his wife. Xiao He knew Liu Bang and wanted to throw him out when he saw the empty red envelope in his hand, telling him not to fool around here, but this scene was also seen by Lv Gong.

When Lv Gong saw Liu Bang, his eyes suddenly lit up. Isn't this the man with Jackie Chan's appearance? So he arranged Liu Bang's seat beside him. Liu Bang's bragging nature began to be exposed after drinking at the dinner table. Peixian locals listened to Liu Bang's boasting too much, and they didn't care. Lv Gong, the newcomer, was completely flabbergasted by Liu Bang's blowing, thinking that this person not only has Jackie Chan's appearance, but also has high aspirations. After the meeting, he immediately said that he would marry his daughter Lv Zhi to Liu Bang.

In other words, Liu Bang was in his forties and teens at this time, and his family was poor. Not only that, he also has an illegitimate child, Liu Fei. This condition is too bad. Lv Zhi's mother didn't agree with this marriage, but she couldn't beat Lv Gong and finally married Lv Zhi to Liu Bang.

I wonder if the fortune teller's words have come true. After Liu Bang married Lv Zhi, he soared and finally established the Han Dynasty.
