Jafard urged Luo Ye to go quickly, but Luo Ye sat on the seat calmly, grabbed a big oyster and stuffed it into his mouth. "Little De, don't worry, wait until I'm full anyway."
Jafferd sat down helplessly. "Xiongyin, you must be told to my three wives about buying an aircraft carrier and building a clubhouse for a while."
"Don't worry, don't worry." Luo Ye promised.
Prince Jaffard got Luo Ye's assurance, he immediately let out a long sigh of relief, and turned his head to chat with the navy generals.
Tang Wan was a little strange, and asked Luo Ye in a low voice, "His Royal Highness is afraid of his wife? This... shouldn't be."
"There is nothing wrong with this," Luo Ye replied casually while breaking off the fat crab claws: "The three women form a solid alliance, which makes me scared."
Tang Wan pursed his lips and said, "I know that Islam allows polygamy, but our country was also polygamous in ancient times. But in China, wives are always jealous. Husbands don't care, isn't it like that in Saudi Arabia?"
"One thing you said is wrong." Luo Ye pointed out very seriously, "China has never been a polygamous country."
"No?" Tang Wan frowned.
"Strictly speaking, ancient China was a country with polygamy and multiple concubines." Luo Ye said: "The status of concubines in ancient times was very low, just like pet dogs today, or even worse than pet dogs. The owner raised concubines, one is Fill in the blanks during the days when the wife cannot wait for bedtime every month. The second is to entertain friends and guests. Another name for concubine is Jiaji. For example, if a friend comes to the house, the host will not call his wife out to accompany the wine, but will Recruit a concubine to accompany the wine. If your friend drinks happily and sleeps with the host at night, then the concubine must accompany you to sleep. If your friend likes it very much, you can buy it from the host or take a concubine. The system continued until the end of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty began to collapse after the rule of the Qing Dynasty. The concubines gradually changed their status and identity, and began to be called aunts and aunts. Today, they have turned themselves into the masters."
Tang Wan nodded, "You said that in ancient China, it was indeed a monogamous system, and the status of regular wives was very high."
Luo Ye continued: “So China is different from traditional Islamic countries. Muslim men can marry four wives, but they can only marry four wives at most. However, families with four wives are basically considered to be large. A family, it takes a certain amount of financial resources to support four women who do nothing. Since it is a big family, then the first wife of a man must be designated by the family, and you must marry if you don’t marry. This is the responsibility of a family member. Responsibilities, just like Prince Jaffard’s."
Tang Wan asked: "Then the second wife can be chosen by himself?"
"Well," Luo Ye replied, "but you must get the consent of the first wife before you can get in."
"So, the first wife also has higher rights than other wives?" Tang Wan asked.
Luo Ye shook his head, "This is not the case. Before a man wants to marry a second wife, he has already formed a family with the first wife, so it is to add new members to a family, so the consent of the first wife must be obtained. , This has nothing to do with the rights of the first wife. Similarly, if you want to marry a third wife, you must get the consent of the first two wives, even if one wife disagrees. If you want to marry a fourth wife, then It must be approved by the first three wives, even if one of them disagrees."
Tang Wan smiled, "Then they just disagree on purpose?"
Luo Ye laughed, "You have to know that in Islamic countries, families with four wives are well-established families with prominent surnames. For such families, it is necessary to marry four wives to reproduce offspring, unless that man The owner has a physical problem. Fortunately, only four can be married, and no more marrying is allowed, so most wives will not deliberately restrict the husband's behavior in marrying a wife."
Tang Wan blinked, "But you said before that Prince Jaffard only married three wives. I think he is also in his thirties and his family is the most prominent. Why not marry the fourth?"
Luo Ye took a bite of venison, and then vaguely said: "I was going to marry, but I fell asleep-don't mention that. In short, Xiaode has had several candidates, but all of them have been chosen by him. The lady vetoed it, so there was no way to marry."
"Is this a deliberate restriction?" Tang Wan said.
Luo Ye sighed, "Under normal circumstances, there are reasons for wives to restrict their husbands and men from marrying again. For example, there is no equal love between husbands and three wives. It is not possible to marry three wives once a day, let alone marry four. , For example, dissatisfaction with the woman’s innocence, unworthy of working with them, etc. As for Xiaode, it is probably the second type. It is not so easy to find a prince who can match the prince’s family background."
"But I heard that Muslim men have very big rights at home. They can divorce their wives at will and marry again, but it is difficult for women to marry again after they are divorced," Tang Wan said.
"That's true, but the question is, your family made you marry the first wife. Do you dare to divorce her? She agreed to marry a second wife. When you want to marry a third wife, you Can you count on them not to form an alliance? When you want to marry a fourth wife, the first three wives are against it. If you have the right, do you dare to divorce the first wife and two or three wives together? History? The divorced wife was either misbehaving or too stupid to team up with other wives."
Tang Wan shook his head helplessly, "It's really troublesome. I thought Muslim men are very happy."
"Haha," Luo Ye said with a smile: "Pray five times a day in the morning and evening, do you think Prince Jaffard can be an exception?"
As he was talking, Prince Jaffard's attendant reminded him in his ear. Prince Jaffard immediately stood up seriously, tidied his appearance and left his seat. Several attendants immediately spread a few Persian patterns of worship blankets on the passage.
Tang Wan asked: "Is this to pray?"
Luo Ye wiped his mouth and pulled Tang Wan to stand up, "Don't sit, it's impolite."
Tang Wan asked: "Then what should I do? I don't want to kneel together. I don't believe in Islam."
Luo Ye whispered: "Just stand quietly with your hands down to show respect in your heart."
Tang Wan nodded and stopped talking. She noticed that the others in the banquet hall also avoided the position of the west, which was the location of the Muslim holy city of Mecca.
Qi Han was still froze in the distance, his body couldn't move after several attempts. Seeing everyone else gave in, the more anxious he became, the more he couldn't move. Awang hurried over, "Master, don't you want to show off at this time, right?"
"I'm not showing up here!" Qi Han said in a low voice, "Help me, I can't move because of cramps."
"Where is the cramp?" Ngawang asked.
"My whole body is cramped!" Qi Han said.
Ngawang suddenly realized, "I see, this is called ghost fixation in the folks. I have heard old people talk about it before, but I still don't believe it. I have finally learned something today.
"It's so special, when are you still insightful!" Qi Han roared: "Hurry up and take me away first!"
Ngawang quickly picked up Qi Han and hugged him to the corner. Qi Han only took a breath, but his hands and feet were cold, and his body couldn't stop shaking. "No, I didn't expect that the kid named Luo Ye has such a big background..."
After the prince's attendants spread the prayer blankets, they brought out a water purification basin for the prince and other Muslim attendants to clean their hands, faces, and feet. After the cleansing, Prince Jaffad knelt down to the west, and the reciters of the Quran prayer respectfully worshiped nine times. And the attendants behind him also followed behind, also worshiping nine prayers.
"It's not easy to knock your head several times every time." Tang Wan said in a low voice.
Luo Ye replied: "This is the night prayer, so it is nine prayers, the morning prayer is four prayers, the sun prayer is ten prayers, the shou prayer is four prayers, and the faint prayer is five prayers. They are different.”
After praying, Prince Jafard’s face showed a peaceful expression, "Xiong Yin, can we go? The food here is not for friends, you shouldn’t eat more. I came here this time with a lot of Arabic food. , And there are thirty royal chefs. Why not let me entertain you and Miss Tangwa."
As soon as he heard the thirty chefs, Luo Ye nodded seriously, "Xiao Fa, what you said is too right. We can't urinate in the same pot with the Americans. If you say you treat me earlier, I don't have to eat them like that. There's so much stuff—I feel sick when I think about the look of those oysters and abalones."
Tang Wan opened his mouth, and wanted to tell His Royal Highness that he was called "Tang Wan" instead of "Tang Wa." But after another thought, what was the difference? Didn't even Luo Ye be called "Xiong Yin" by the prince
Prince Jaffard laughed, turned his head and said to the navy generals in English: "Drive the aircraft carrier to Paradise Island."
The former bald lieutenant said with difficulty: "His Royal Highness, we don't understand the water pattern of Paradise Island very well. The aircraft carrier is too big, and we are afraid of being stranded on the rocks."
"Then run aground." The prince shrugged, "I have nothing to worry about. If you run aground, you can arrange a boat for me and bring my golden sports car and ingredients."
"Then we can get as close as possible. When we reach the dangerous sea, can we use other ships to escort His Royal Highness to the island?" the lieutenant general asked tentatively.
"Whatever," Prince Jaffard waved his hand impatiently, "I knew you guys were not real."
"The contract between His Royal Highness and the Ministry of Defense..."
Prince Jaffard gave him a white look, "I will consider it."
"That's good, that's good." The lieutenant general wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the oil contract fell into his hands, he would have accepted some of it. Fortunately, Jafar did not directly give up. This is fortunate. "If your Royal Highness has any needs, please do not hesitate to give orders."
"I want you to sell my aircraft carrier. You don't want to sell it. If you want you to drive the ship to Paradise Island, you can't drive. How stupid am I to ask you for the third time?" Prince Jaffard gave him a contemptuous look and commented. Said: "No sincerity!"
While talking, a Chinese attendant hurried over and reported to the prince in fluent Chinese: "His Royal Highness, the driving and supplies have been arranged-Ah! Luo, Brother Luo!" (to be continued)
