"I'll talk about it when I get back in the evening. Don't choke on the two of you, if you have nothing to do, go to the market to buy some vinegar, buy a fish, and make me a sobering sour soup at night, or you will have to drink...... After walking through many places, Takayanagi's vinegar is the best. ”

When the girl heard her father say this, she cheered and threw herself over, saying, "Father is the best." ”

The mother, who was going to buy vinegar, replied, "What a fart." He's going to sell you for money! ”

The girl didn't care, and laughed: "He is willing to sell, and I also like the buyer, what's wrong?" ”

After saying that, he ran away.

The man collected some of the family's money, put it in his arms, and left in a hurry.

…………

In the evening, when the drunken man returned, a large bowl of sour soup made of small crucian carp and old vinegar was placed on the table.

He snorted and drank two cans in the crockpot, and then suppressed the smell of wine that was going up, and his wife got some water for him to drink, and made a small piece of black pressed tea cake.

"How do you drink so much? Who did you drink with? ”

The husband touched the black crockpot with tea cakes, poured two sips, and said with a drunken smile: "Who did you say to drink this with, I listened to a story from those people in the Mo family at the banquet today." ”

If a Qi person has a wife and a concubine and lives in the room, his lover will be hungry for wine and meat and then turn back. and his wife shall be rich and noble when he asks what he eats and drinks. His wife told his concubine: "If a lover comes out, he will eat wine and meat and then turn back; Ask them and those who eat and drink, and those who are rich and rich, and those who have not yet come to show it, I will look at the place of the beloved. ”

Flea rises, give from the beloved, and there is no one in the country to talk to. In the east of the pawn, the sacrificer begs for the rest; insufficient, and took care of him. This is the way to be satisfied.

When his wife returned, he told his concubine, saying, "Those who are beloved, they look up to for life, and now it is like this." With his concubine, he scolded his beloved, and cried in the atrium, and the beloved did not know it, and he gave alms from outside, arrogant of his wife and concubine.

From the gentleman's point of view, the reason why people seek wealth and wealth is that their wives and concubines are not ashamed, and those who do not cry are a few hopes.

The wife snorted and laughed, and the husband's head was lightly clicked: "Listen, listen, from the gentleman's point of view, the reason why people seek wealth and wealth, their wives and concubines are not ashamed, and those who do not cry are a few hopeful!" ”

"Just those of you who seek wealth, money, and officials, there are only a few who can make your wives and concubines not ashamed."

"You're embarrassed to tell this story. I don't want to think about what my daughter will do when she is lonely in the future, just thinking about getting in touch with the Mo family and being an in-law, do I have to cry in the courtyard? ”

The husband drunkenly touched his wife's hand and smiled, "Crying? You haven't heard all this story, it's his wife and his concubine, crying in the atrium...... You're missing someone. ”

The wife spat and scolded: "You dare! If you are willing to let those people from the Mo Family's Women's Department lead people to block the door and scold you every day, you can try! ”

The husband laughed and said, "No need to try." The law has been formulated over there, and in the future, taking concubines will not be as simple as people from the women's department blocking the door every day to reason, but will violate the ban and break the law. I don't want to dig coal in Takayanagi for a year......"

The wife frowned and said, "Why are you so strict?" The Mo family even has to take care of this matter? ”

The husband snorted and said, "Isn't this a good thing for you, you women?" Why do you dislike being strict? ”

The wife smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's just as strict as anything else." ”

"Hmm."

The husband nodded and said, "Anything else is just as strict, that's for sure, the story of you being a wife and a concubine is really told as a joke at the banquet?" Persuade us, don't be too dirty in the means of making rich and expensive, wives and concubines cry in shame and cry in court, it's a trivial matter, and being pulled out and shot is a big deal. The Mo family said that this is called saluting first and then soldiering, and first Ming and then not fighting. ”

"Those people in the Mo family are too good at drinking, and they persuade us to drink, and we are all drunk when we drink, and they want to reason with us. The Mo family's wine is too strong, and I have only drunk some of it in the past few years, if I only drank those sour wines in the past, I was afraid that I would pour it in my stomach. ”

"This time long-term hired workers are allowed, but they are not slaves, so let's distinguish between hired workers and slaves. I can't beat or scold, and I have to organize these hired workers to listen to the lectures together every ten days. Fortunately, in four years, I earned it back. ”

After talking about these things at today's banquet, the husband talked about his daughter's marriage plan.

"It's useless what you're worried about, you are the only one in the Mo family in Gaoliu? This time, the Qi country was defeated, and they all hit the Linzi country of Qi...... You know Qi Guo, right? The Qi country that is too public, what do you say are you afraid of? Returning the plant to ...... If you really get to that point, you and I will have to die. The slaughter of Wucheng City, you have also read it in the newspaper, just because Wucheng is too close to Sishang, they were all slaughtered, if the Mo family is defeated that day, we will all be slaughtered. Do you understand cutting grass and eradicating roots? It's not that you and I haven't heard that people are equal to all people, young and old, noble and low, right? It's not like you and I haven't heard the handouts of the Mo family gathering, right? This time we went south to fight, didn't our son go south without service, right? ”

The wife muttered, "It's still different, isn't it?" That young man forced Gongzi to die, but his family has a blood debt with the nobles, don't we have no blood debt? ”

When her husband heard this, he laughed angrily and scolded: "You have lived in Gaoliu for too long, and you have regarded Gaoliu's law as the law of the world." Takayanagi's law is reasonable, divides people, and does not connect with each other, do you think the law outside is the same? Didn't you forget? ”

The wife thought of her previous fear of the nobles and her fear of looking at them directly, and seemed to understand in her heart that she was using Takayanagi's method elsewhere, thinking that it was the same elsewhere.

In other words, she has inadvertently been assimilated by these morals of the Mo family.

"But if you marry far away, then Sishang is thousands of miles away from here......"

"Where are the thousands of miles? Everyone has said that it is three thousand miles, not far. Besides, if he is in Takayanagi, then let his daughter live in his own house......"

The wife sighed, "Isn't that a shame? If it's not to be restored, it's not to be suspended, how can there be a reason to live in our house? You have to serve your in-laws ......"

The husband snorted and asked, "Who is laughing at it?" What are you afraid of? When you and I were merchants, weren't we often laughed at? You haven't heard the song that mocks the merchant. ”

"Shu agricultural industry and commerce, Shu agricultural industry and commerce, we businessmen, originally compared to Shu farmers. Who laughs at whom in these days? ”

"This year...... If you have money, no one will laugh at you, and if you don't have money, you're a fart. Lineage? Blood? Those who are noble in blood are now squatting in the wool washing workshop to do things, who respects them? I bought a spinning wheel at home, ran a business and commerce, and earned dozens of gold a year, but I didn't have a noble ancestor for eight generations, and now everyone laughs at me? ”

"Besides, my daughter likes it. I also heard a lot about that young man, and he was born in Sishang, so I think it's very good. ”

The wife was helpless and sighed: "But even so, this dowry or something?" Otherwise, if we really want to be laughed at, we are stammering with the Mo family and giving our daughter away as a gift......"

The husband snorted: "The Mo family has always done things decently. I still know about this, you see, if that guy really wants to, someone will hire him soon. If you don't have the intention, then you don't have to worry about it, and then do what you say. ”

…………

A few days later.

As soon as the day dawned, the sun was about to rise, and Takayanagi Castle was already busy.

Especially in late autumn, when the sun comes out late, it's not early.

At the entrance of a house near the market, several people in two carriages slowly stopped at the door.

On the car came two young men in their thirties, carrying a pair of big white geese, of course, not alive, but freshly slaughtered.

In the back of the car, a woman got down.

The woman's dress is obviously that of a witch, but it is not unusual in such a place.

The woman wore some crooked, weed-like ornaments on her head.

He wears a witch suit with many black feathers on his back.

This is the specific dress of the "Spring God" witch in the north, of course, the name of the Spring God is called "Jumang" with a tall and tall name, which is the chief courtier of the Eastern Emperor of the later generations.

Jumang is the god of spring, the god of plants and trees, the god of life, the god of fertility, and the god of marriage.

At this time, because of the problem of transliteration and dialect, Jumang is also called Gaoqing, which is basically found on the outskirts of every city, and is also called the suburban god.

The matchmaker, the matchmaker, after the divinity, will turn the woman into a god.

Shangsi Festival, the moon of mid-spring, the male ** can't help but run, and it is precisely to commemorate the god of Jumang.

At the beginning, the Shangsi Festival was a large-scale sacrificial event, presided over by special witches and priests, praying for the smooth spring ploughing, praying for fertility, and praying for marriage.

Because the essence of planting agriculture is to give birth.

Therefore, the last of the eight dances in the "The Joy of Ge Tian's Family" that has been handed down in the ancient times of Zhuxia, "The Extreme of Total Beasts", is to simulate the appearance of various birds and beasts, of course, including people.

Later, the sacred meaning of this sacrifice gradually diminished, and gradually became a gathering of young men and women.

Zhuxia is huge, and the core of the myth is similar, but the statues of the gods of Jumangchun are different in different places.

The sentence of Qi is a bird, standing on the Fusang tree, and has a lot to do with the sun.

The state of Chu is called Dongjun, who is the sun god, and also has a great relationship with Fusang wood.

In the land of Bashu, the sacred tree and the birds on the sacred tree are directly sacrificed.

But in the folk of the land of Yan and Zhao, the god of Jumang is a woman, that is, Jian Di who swallowed the egg of the Xuanniao and gave birth to the Shang Dynasty.

With the destruction of the Shang Dynasty in the Zhou Dynasty, the worship of Xuanyao was gradually banned by the official, but the Daidi near the north still retains a lot of the folk culture of the Yin Shang, and the Xuanniao, Jian Di and the goddess of fertility in ancient times are fused together, called the god of spring - different from the official worship of the spring god of China, the god of spring sacrificed here is a huge chest, and the fertility god connected with the baby and the Xuanniao, and by the way, it carries the godhead of the god of Jumangmu and the sun god.
