Chapter 937: Twelve Zodiac Signs

Time soon came to January 28th, this day is also Comrade Li's birthday, if it weren't for Zhang Nan staying in Chang'an City at this time this year, then Zhang Nan would probably never know that Lao Li is actually an Aquarius.

Sitting in Comrade Li Er's Liangyi Palace, Zhang Nan has also successfully advanced from the banquet of foreign ministers to the seat of the family banquet, and Cui Yue, Jin Shengman and Li Chengxia are also sitting around Zhang Nan.

To say that among all the courtiers who came to participate in Comrade Li Er's birthday banquet in the entire Liangyi Palace, Zhang Nan was the most special.

After all, Comrade Li Er's daughters have not all been married, although most of them have already been married, but they have not yet left the cabinet, so the young people sitting at the family banquet seat are mainly Comrade Li Er's children and concubines.

And Zhang Nan, as Li Li's concubine, is naturally unique, after all, this is the leader of the concubine, although Zhang Nan himself doesn't know who is in his colt circle.

In addition to this, Zhang Nan's most special thing is that there are four wives sitting next to him, it stands to reason that to participate in Comrade Lao Li's birthday banquet, the courtiers can basically only bring their wives to participate, after all, everyone is a person with a head and a face, if you participate in the birthday banquet, you have to drag your family to Lao Li's place to throw off your arms and eat a meal, which is a bit too ugly.

Even if it is a concubine, it must only dare to bring the princess to the dinner, after all, the status of the Tang Dynasty concubine is not very high, in addition to the fact that Lao Li's daughter is not as popular as the five surnamed women, the more important reason is that marrying Lao Li's daughter as a concubine is really too many rules.

Unlike other women who marry into their husband's family, after the princess marries, she will not become an accessory of her husband's family.

After all, when she gets married, the princess will bring a large amount of property with the officials, officials, and servants to enter the door, so the house where the horse is lived in is in the princess's mansion, and all the wealth of the princess's mansion, the officials and slaves, all belong to the princess and are directly commanded by the princess, so the status of the concubine in the princess's mansion is similar to that of a vassal, and there is no sovereignty at all.

Although men and women in Datang are more equal, ordinary people can't accept it, after all, if you want to have a room, you have to report to the princess in advance, and the princess agrees, if the princess doesn't agree, she will play while playing.

If the princess dies early, the concubine will have to keep filial piety for the princess for three years. If you want to take a concubine, it is impossible without the nod of the princess, and there are so many rules that basically anyone who longs for a normal relationship between husband and wife will not have too many ideas.

And the most important reason is because after marrying the princess, it is not easy for the concubine to be promoted. After marrying the princess, he has the official title of "Captain of the Horse", so he is referred to as the Horse, generally speaking, after the Horse and the princess are married, they will immediately add the official title of "Three Rank Foreign Officials".

Although it looks majestic, this third-grade foreign official is a good person, and he doesn't have any real power at all, so most of the families who have to marry the royal family will basically let their second son take the bag, because the eldest son is a person who wants to inherit the title and mix with the officialdom.

Like Zhang Nan, who has both a powerful official position, a title and a prince, plus more than just a princess and a wife, the remaining three have the same status as the princess, and even the princess doesn't have to live in the princess's mansion, which is simply unimaginable.

So basically, a couple of people died in the back. And Zhang Nan here, Zhang Nan put together three small tables to form a super-large small table, and five people sat in one breath, and people who didn't know thought that they were going to eat Lao Li poor.

Comrade Lao Li was speaking above, and Zhang Nan was quietly telling the story of the constellation to his four wives beside him.

"Eh, do you know that the emperor is a standard Aquarius." Zhang Nan calculated Comrade Li Er's birthday, and launched the constellation of Comrade Li.

"Aquarius? What's that? Li Chengxia said strangely.

"Chengxia, why did you forget, it's something similar to the zodiac on Lang Jun's side, is it Lang Jun." Cui Yue said. Cui Yue now has a preliminary understanding of where Zhang Nan is, so Cui Yue can also interject about some of the things Zhang Nan said.

"Oh, I know, I know, it's similar to our star officials, Sanyuan, Sixiang and Twenty-Eight Nights, but the name is different, isn't it Lang Jun." Li Lizhi is also the way.

At this time, Jin Shengman, who didn't understand the stars very well, couldn't interject, so he could only listen silently to a few people whispering, but he still seemed very interested.

"If you want to say that, I will understand, but what a nice name of our constellation, what kind of Aquarius is this, it sounds weird, how can a bottle be a constellation." Li Chengxia also shook her head and said.

When Zhang Nan just wanted to open his mouth to explain to Li Chengxia, he didn't know that Comrade Li Er had been paying attention to this side for a long time.

"Chengxia, tell the royal brother, what are you talking about so happily? What did Qingquan tell you again? Speak up and let me hear it. Comrade Li Er sat above and asked with a smile.

And Li Chengxia, who was suddenly named by Comrade Li Er, was like a student who was caught talking by the teacher in class, and suddenly didn't know what to do.

"If you go back to the emperor, the minister is telling Chengxia and them what constellation you are, the emperor." Zhang Nan saw that his wife was asked, so he naturally wanted to stand up and solve the siege.

"Constellation? What's that? Comrade Li Er asked puzzled.

"Your Majesty, you know, we use the year of birth to divide what zodiac is right, this constellation, you can simply see it as a foreign zodiac, but this zodiac is divided by the month and day of birth, and it happens to be twelve, which is similar to our zodiac, of course, this astronomical calendar, the emperor, you want to let the minister explain the reason, the minister really can't do it." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Oh? So tell me, what zodiac sign am I? Li Er asked curiously.

"Well, Your Majesty, you're an Aquarius." Zhang Nan also replied without thinking.

"Aquarius? What kind of quirky name is this? How is it a dead thing? "Comrade Lao Li thought that Zhang Nan would tell him something about the green dragon and white tiger, but suddenly a water bottle came out, not at all mighty and domineering.

"Your Majesty, the division of this constellation is based on the appearance of the stars in the sky to get the name, like an Aquarius, then naturally it can only be called Aquarius, besides, these are all Western things, and their cultural level is just like that, Your Majesty, do you still point out that they can be the same as us?" Although Zhang Nan's words are biased and even wrong, this sounds like a good compliment to Lao Li.
