Upon hearing their mistress’s orders, Dun Zhu and Dan Zhu quickly went out to fetch water and prepare the necessary items for hand washing.
Nangong Yi said, "These sisters are of the Meng Slaves."
His tone was calm, not as a question, but a statement.
Surprised, Cai Wei asked, "How do you know?"
Nangong Yi gently massaged her uplifting little face and explained with a smile, "People of the Meng Slaves have distinct racial features - broad faces, high cheekbones, small eyes, as well as tall and sturdy bodies. Even their women are tall and stout, greatly different from the women in our Great Jin Dynasty."
"I see."
Understanding, Cai Wei said, "I realized they were of the Meng Slaves when I saw them wandering around and being bullied. I was moved by compassion and brought them back here. They look healthy and robust, not like daughters of a poor family. I wonder why they insist on staying in our Great Jin, preferring to beg, starve, and wander rather than returning to Meng."
"Is that so?"
Nangong Yi knitted his handsome eyebrows, thought for a while, and laughed, "That’s it, they must have run away to avoid the ’Daughter’s Rites’, hence they would rather die in a foreign land than return to Lingbei."
"Daughter’s Rites? What are the Daughter’s Rites?"
Having never heard of ’Daughter’s Rites’, Cai Wei was very curious. Why would they want to escape from the Daughter’s Rites? What exactly are the Daughter’s Rites?
