Chapter 304: New Life and Death (I)
The chaos is coming, and there is no vision in the sky.
The vision that best represents the catastrophe is about the comet at this time, and the periodic comet that is most likely to be discovered by humans before Mozi's death and in the year of the Tian coup d'Γ©tat.
When the comet appeared last time, the classics of various countries were still complete, and the history books of various countries had not been burned, so the Mo family told the world in that year: The comet was the comet contained in the fourteenth year of Lu Wengong, "In autumn and July, there are stars entering the Beidou"; It is also the one that appeared in the tenth year of Qin Li's Gonggong more than 70 years ago.
And tell the world that this is not a symbol of some calamity, but a star revolving around the sun. The so-called "comet has no light, but turns into light against the sun", like the moon, only reflects the light of the sun.
And it is predicted that in 746 years, the comet will appear again.
These theories quickly spread around the market with the development of papermaking and printing, but thanks to the fact that the historical records of various countries were not burned at this time, this speculation from the past quickly became a believable theory.
In the giant city of Zhuxia and Kyushu, people's understanding of the starry sky has gradually changed from an unknown panic that pours out because they feel small and powerless to a "delusion" that wants to explore the "principle of heavenly will".
Today's comet, which has a period of 76 years, will naturally not reappear in just a dozen years, and these years can be regarded as good weather.
In the times, ordinary people do not have such a sensitive sense of smell for the coming chaos, and before the chaos comes, people will never believe that the chaos is coming.
Moreover, even when chaos comes, people still have to eat, drink, marry, and reproduce, struggling to fulfill the most basic meaning of being a human animal in the midst of suffering.
In the far north of Takayanagi, although there was a lot of speculation due to the arrival of Hu Feizi, Meng Sheng and a large group of ink scholars, when the wedding of the prisoner was held, many people in the city still went to see this lively scene with a sense of joy.
There are rumors of imminent chaos, but after all, there is no chaos, right? You can't learn from the worrying people in the story.
In itself, this is a symbolic model wedding, in order to achieve the greatest degree of "saving" in the future, while promoting a kind of superficial equality as much as possible - the most superficial equality of the old wedding is that the wedding music is forbidden, even the princes of the Son of Heaven have to be as unplayable as the common people. The former doesn't, the latter can't.
The official wedding carriages that were organized were also designed to maximize the fact that the wedding would not be too much of a contrast due to wealth in the process of marrying.
After all, the path taken by the Mo family is destined to worsen the gap between the rich and the poor in the future, and it is even more destined that many people may miss the pastoral beauty under the feudal system.
The combination of the two sides has a different meaning.
One is a man in the Mo family's army.
One is the daughter of a family of emerging businessmen.
The former stands for theory, morality, and force. The latter represents a new class of money and an emerging kind of relations of production. In Meng Sheng's words, this is a match made in heaven.
On the road from the military camp family area in Takayanagi Castle to the city, the snow that fell a few days ago has already been swept away by the people of Takayanagi under the jurisdiction of the "snow in front of the door" law.
A large group of children rushed into the smoke of gunfire, looking for the firecrackers whose fuses had been cut off by the impact of the explosion, and then blocked the carriage of the prisoner who was going to pick up his relatives, and asked him for candy.
The fried melon seeds and peanuts were thrown down, and the children picked them up and felt satisfied, so they let the way go.
According to the custom of the past, the captive was dressed in a pure black new dress, and sat in a carriage, with the royal hand of the wedding company in front of him: according to custom, only after receiving the bride, the groom had to drive around the bride's house three times before he could hand it over to the royal hand.
It's just that ordinary people don't have carriages, and they specialize in art, and in the future, all this will be done by special wedding official media.
Nearby were some family members in the army, and the prisoners hummed the songs to be sung for marriage at this time, which was both a celebration and an invitation.
The car was turned off from time to time, and the girl who thought about it passed away.
Bandits are hungry and thirsty, and the German sound comes to bracket, although there are no friends, Shiyan is happy.
According to Bi Pinglin, there are Ji Wei Eagle, Chen Bi Shuo Girl, Ling De to teach.
Shi Yan and reputation, good no shot.
Although there is no wine, there are a few drinks, although there are no delicacies, there are a few foods.
Although there is no virtue and women, the style sings and dances.
Zhibi Gaogang, analyze its salary, analyze its salary, and its leaves.
I am fresh, and my heart is written.
The high mountains look up, the scenery stops, the four peysters are sloppy, and the six bridles are like the piano.
Calm my heart.
The most crucial sentence in the whole text may have been circulated for hundreds of years, and may even continue to circulate for thousands of years in Zhuxia.
Although there is no wine, there are a few drinks, although there are no delicacies, there are a few foods.
In other words, the market is saying: wine is not good, food is not good, but everyone must eat and drink well.
Shu Prisoner Mi didn't know that this sentence was not good, but if you want to eat and drink well, it will continue to be passed down for thousands of years, and it has gone from the wedding banquet to the weekday gathering.
A few older women or middle-aged men whistled at the captive and shouted, "The bandits are hungry and thirsty, and the sound is coming." Is it really not? β
After a few whistles and banter, the captive's face turned slightly red, knowing that he might have to face more explicit words at the wedding.
A few people who went to pick up their relatives laughed and scolded with snowballs, and smashed and asked if the prisoner was really hungry and thirsty, and laughed.
The two people at the front carried two lanterns, which was an old habit, not an old habit.
The old habit is to use candles, and two people are required to block the wind.
However, when the old habit was generated, there was no paper and could not be made into lanterns, so following the morality that the change of material basis brought about a change in customs, the Mohists replaced paper lanterns.
It's not early, but it's just right, weddings, weddings, etiquette at dusk, and no daytime weddings are in the evening.
The barracks area is in the northwest of the city, which is superstitious, and the northwest is the main expedition, but some things are used to it for a long time.
Xing'er's home is in the downtown area, the most prosperous place in Takayanagi, near the industrial and commercial market, and after a long time, it has become a gathering area for industry and commerce, after all, Takayanagi does not have too many large-scale hydraulic workshops, and the wool textile industry is still dominated by cottage industry workshops and factories.
Now there was a crowd of people gathered in front of her house, and the women who worked as wrecks in her house had been looking forward to the wedding for a long time, and they did not have to go to work today, and there was still a small amount of food of all kinds.
The door was closed, and according to the custom of preventing "snatching relatives" in the past, the men of the relatives of the family stood outside the door and waited.
This custom is a remnant of the habit of robbing relatives in ancient times, and the other can be regarded as a warning to the man that he can swing his fist at home, which is a warning of a change of direction.
Apricot was in the house, with a fire on the fire, dressed in new clothes, and several female companions who had gone to the girls' school together were bridesmaids, singing songs to make fun.
I'm so concerned. Fill the ears with plainness, and still use Qionghua.
I'm in court. Fill the ears with green, and still use Qiongying.
I'm in the middle of it. The ears are filled with yellow, and the ears are still filled with Qiongying.
This is the song sung by the concubines and sisters who accompanied the marriage when the aristocratic women were married, which was very cheerful.
Usually the family does not have a hall and screen, so naturally I don't care about it.
Xing'er hadn't seen Shu Prisoner for a long time, and when she heard her female companion singing, she naturally looked like a lover in her heart, but then she felt a little sad in her heart.
Winter is coming to an end, and I have to leave home to go to Sishang, everything is a new life, and there is no panic to come.
Everything in the family is in order, there is not much to prepare, the dowry has been prepared, and some pre-marital education is also completed in the pre-marital school of the official media, as long as it is carried out step by step.
Everything seemed to be calm, the parents were smiling, and everything seemed fine.
But when the sound of firecrackers sounded outside, this calm smile was finally broken.
The mother held Xing'er's hand, and wanted to say with a smile: "It's cold, don't toss him, let's go." β
But before the words could be spoken, tears finally couldn't help falling, just holding her daughter's hand.
Xing'er couldn't help it, she cried out with a wow, and a few accompanying female companions hurriedly persuaded her a few more words before she stopped.
Sending each other all the way, getting married, getting in the car, and going around her house three times, Xing'er wanted to say that under the new rules, it would not take three months, as long as three days to come back to see, but after thinking about it for a long time, I felt that my parents must also know that when I came back in three days, I had to leave after all, so I stopped talking.
It's not cold in the car, there is a small stove, and there are always a lot of words when she and she see each other on weekdays, but on the day of marriage, I can't say anything.
When the crackling firecrackers were heard again, I don't know how long it took, the prisoner took her hand and got out of the car.
The people in the room were already waiting there, this was a hall in the barracks area, and there were nearly two hundred people sitting in it, and all kinds of food had been arranged.
As soon as they entered the house, what was placed in front of them was a roasted sheep, and the first thing they did to marry their wives to their own house was to eat together.
It doesn't have to be a sheep, it's not necessarily a cow, it's not necessarily a whole sheep, it's just a symbolic meaning.
The two of them picked up a piece together, and after eating it, a child brought two cut bitter gourds, and in some places also used gourds.
There was a faint amount of wine in it, and the husband and wife held each other's split bitter gourd scoops, drank a glass of wine, and then put down the cut bitter gourd, combined the two into one, and tied a red rope.
The wine is sweet and bitter melon is bitter, symbolizing that there will be bitter and sweet life in the future.
There is the so-called "there are bitter leaves, and there is a deep involvement", the big gourd and bitter gourd are also tools used to cross the water, and there is a glass of wine and the meaning of the husband and wife in the same boat.
The parents of the captive are not around, and the Mo family does not have the custom of being a wife in the March Temple, and the wedding is halfway through the wedding.
Many people joked at the captive: "Marry a bride, say something." β
Someone also shouted: "Isn't the commander of the company quite able to talk on weekdays?" Even the deputies said that you are not bad at being a deputy, and tell me how you got such a beautiful bride. β
In peacetime, although the prisoner did not dare to say anything, as a company-level cadre in the army, he grew up in a place where he gave street speeches all day long in Sishang, and Mo said that in the face of more than 200 familiar people, no matter how much, he could speak.
But today, after holding it for a long time, I only held back one sentence in the end.
"Although there is no wine, there are a few kinds of drinks, although there are no delicacies, there are a few kinds of food."
The food and drink are not good, but you should also eat and drink well......
