A dozen ladies can't tell who it is.

In ancient feudal society, the marriage system in China was polygamous, so men could marry many wives as long as they had the ability. Even in the Republic of China, men can marry several concubines. Yuan Shikai dreamed of being an emperor. The emperor has thousands of concubines. Although Yuan Shikai doesn't have so many concubines, he also has many wives. * * * There are 1 wives, 9 concubines, 10 wives. Yuan Shikai's 10 wives gave birth to 17 sons and 15 daughters. So many wives and children.

Yuan Shikai has fewer and fewer concubines. Children born early are older than concubines who come in late. The eldest sons are married, and Yuan Shikai is still concubinage. Yuan Shikai has many wives, and with his son's concubines, there are more and more women in Fu Yuan. Apart from his wife and maid-in-waiting, Yuan Shikai gradually lost track of who his wife was, and once made a joke. One night, Yuan Shikai was drunk and walking in the mansion. He saw a beautiful young woman and thought it was his wife. She hugged her, trying to pull her into the room to do good. At this time, Yuan Shikai's son came up and took him away. So this woman is a daughter-in-law, not her own wife. In order to avoid this embarrassing thing from happening again in the future, Yuan Shikai came up with a way to establish a rule in Fu Yuan.

Yuan Shikai's rule is this: In the future, anyone who is not his wife in Fu Yuan must wear red pants. Why are you wearing red pants? Because the color Yuan Shikai fears most is red. As long as the daughters-in-law wear red pants, Yuan Shikai can't mess around when he sees red trousers. Even if he is drunk, he won't make mistakes. Yuan Shikai solved the problem of not knowing who his wife is, but this rule really makes people laugh.

Yuan Shikai's stipulation only shows that there are too many women in Fu Yuan. Like the ancient emperors, it is normal for Yuan Shikai not to see his wife. To recognize his concubines, it is necessary to rely on wooden signs with names written on them. Yuan Shikai had a romantic life, and many of his sons were just like Laozi, especially his second son, Yuan Kewen and shine on you, who were better than Lan. He has had countless confidants in his life, at least hundreds.
