Chapter 280 New Customs and Old Rites (2)

The girl who had not slept all night finally looked forward to those extremely unpleasant bird calls before dawn.

He hurriedly put on his clothes and bypassed his sleeping family.

As soon as the sky is dawn, as long as the plush can be seen, those hired to work will start to work, and if it is later, they will definitely be seen.

The girl thought to herself that fortunately the oil lamp is too dark and the candles are too expensive. If there are very bright and inexpensive lamps in the future, the hired workers will definitely get up earlier and go to bed later. Then it will be difficult to slip out.

After slipping out, it was no longer too dark. The prisoner Mi was standing nervously in the distance, carrying some fishing tools in her hand.

Because it was not during wartime, Gaoliu City's defense was mainly to actively attack the field, and there was no curfew.

When the two arrived at the city gate together, the people guarding the city recognized the prisoner Mi. The queen handed over the identity card and registered and said that she was going to fish. Sima Chang, who guarding the city, secretly stabbed the prisoner Mi and said, "The company commander caught a beautiful fish."

After leaving the city, he arrived at a riverside. The prisoner Mi and the girl were busy for a while. The girl tilted her head and looked at the prisoner Mi who was laying the ropes. She suddenly asked, "Are you cold?"

The prisoner Mi was stunned, and then thought she understood and reached out to hold the girl's hand. She thought it was the girl who asked him to warm her hands. This morning in autumn was really cold.

But when the hand was stretched out to warm the girl, the girl suddenly grabbed the hand of the prisoner Mi, reached to the collar between her neck, and said in a sound like a mosquito and flies: "It's warmer here, you can reach in and warm it..."

…………

The rope in the fish basket moved slightly, and some fish really entered, but the fishermen were not in a hurry.

A bent tree next to it finally stopped being pressed and straightened. There were waves of dog barking in the distance. The girl looked at the mixed red stains under her clothes and muttered: "I would have known that black one would have been better, so it would not be easy to see it. What should I do?"

Just like when it was the first time that it was stealing money from the family to buy food, the prison guard Mi was a little nervous. After thinking for a long time, he found some leaves that were not completely yellow and said, "Dye it with the leaves... I... I don't know it will bleed. We... didn't talk about this during class, we just talked about something else."

The girl said with a bitter face: "I don't know either."

The two of them lowered their heads and looked like children who had done something wrong, carefully dyeing the stains that were accidentally made with green leaves.

The barking sounds louder in the distance, and the prisoner Mi scolded: "Who gets up so early to hunt!"

The girl covered her mouth and smiled, sang in a low voice: "So, sing like this, relaxed and free! I am not moved! I barked without any wits! Who told you to be so anxious..."

Speaking of this, my face turned red again, and it was uncomfortable to take off my feet. I just lifted my skirt and didn’t make such a loud noise? The barking of the dog in the distance was seventy percent to blame myself.

He was also afraid that the prisoner Mi Zhen would ask this stupidly, and hurriedly asked, "You...you go to Yunzhong, when will you come back?"

The prisoner Mi shook her head and said, "I don't know when I will come back, but I know it will take a while before I leave. But it will be cold after a while. Next time I rest, it may snow. Where can I go?"

The girl understood what the prisoner Mi said, stretched out her hand and gently hit him, but didn't say anything more, but said, "Then you go to my house to hire a relative, so you don't have to be so cold."

“Uh… OK.”

He hesitated for a moment and then relieved the girl with a very simple and affirmative answer.

The two of them did not attend the lecture notes, so they sat by the river for a whole morning and went to Gaoliu City for lunch. When they parted in the afternoon, the prisoner Mi quietly took a look at the stains on the girl's clothes, which were covered by the green leaf juice, but it was still very obvious.

…………

In the evening, the sancang prisoner Mi asked about the process of the betrothal gift and knew that it was not difficult to use a pair of deer skins, but she didn't have that much money in her hand.

This is not the rule of Gaoliu City, but a custom that is common within the entire Jiuzhou of Zhuxia. It is just that deer skin is difficult to obtain in some places, and some people cannot afford deer skin, but the rules themselves remain unchanged.

As the saying goes, "There is no difference between men and women in ancient times. Taihao started to marry and used lipis as a ritual."

If you can't use deer skin or you can't afford it, you can replace it with something else, but the core of the rules remains unchanged and you must have a betrothal gift.

Many rules within the Mohist school are incompatible with the times, but some rules are rooted in tradition. Just like the Mohist school's festival burials, funerals are still traditional funerals, but there is a huge difference between the scale of mourning period and the burial objects.

Zhou Gong made rituals much deeper than the Mohist school. How to get married and what kind of etiquette are all available. The Mohist school used its core and abandoned its extravagance. After all, the Mohist school was not an outsider, but was rooted in the nine states of Xia.

Although "When the Five Emperors are in charge of their marriage, they will always sue their parents for marriage", the rules of the Mohist school are not like this on this issue. As long as two people agree, they can be allowed to register for the wedding. Of course, this is the rule of Si Shang, and the rules here are different from those of Si Shang.

After asking about the price of deer skin, thinking about the weddings I had seen on Si, the prisoner Mi calculated that his money was really not enough.

After inquiring about these things, he went to the "City Wei" in the city. The Cheng Wei was in charge of public security patrols in the city, Gaoliu City was an important border town, with a large number of troops, and the Cheng Wei could not have many things under his jurisdiction, so the Cheng Wei was a young man, and he was a classmate when the gang captain Mi was in Si Shang.

"Lend me some money."

When he started to borrow money, Cheng Weiqi from Gaoliu City said, "What do you want money? Why, which girl do you like? Want to buy something?"

The sanctioned prisoner Mi was not embarrassed and said directly: "Borrow money to prepare the betrothal gift, I want to get married. I will ask my family to repay you some after a while."

There are transportation in Gaoliu, Sishang, Handan and other places. The currency system uses the method of post station transmission. It does not directly transport money, but only transports some bills.

Cheng Wei screamed, he didn't care about the money he borrowed or when he would pay it back. He was concerned about the word "marriage" in his classmates' mouths.

"Marry? Will you get married?"

The prisoner Mi spat and said, "I haven't been married yet, of course I don't know. Do you know?"

Cheng Wei laughed and said, "I have never been married, but you have been in the border fort army. I have always been in Gaoliu. Although I have never been married, I have seen him. How can it be that simple? Besides, our parents are not around, so we must be hired by elders and hosted by elders. This is not something you can do by yourself. You have to find a superior."

The prisoner Mi laughed and scolded: "Of course I know I have to find a superior, but don't I have to borrow money first?"

While the two were talking, a middle-aged man was holding a thick stack of paper. Two people who were chatting immediately stood up to salute. The middle-aged man asked with a smile: "Why, who am I listening to get married?"

The middle-aged man had a high position and a status within the Mohist school. He was not from the Si Shang Dynasty. He was originally from the Deng Xi school of Zheng, and later joined the Mohist school.

Although the tall willow is small, it has all the internal organs.

This middle-aged man was the leader of the Xuanyi Department in Gaoliu, in charge of publicity. For example, the newspapers posted on the street are all responsible for this department, and he also has extremely important responsibilities for changing customs and customs.

Just like the Si Shang Mo family's headquarters has a giant, Qi Wuhao and a committee member, there are similar staff members in Gaoliu City, each in charge of a single sect. When encountering major events, it is not the final decision of Qu Jiang.

The sanctioned prisoner Mi roughly said what he wanted to get married. The middle-aged man from Xuanyi tribe sat down and thought about it, "Is this a big deal or a small deal? You are the first young man from Si Shang to get married in Gaoliu, and it is also the first wedding of our Si Shang Mo family in Gaoliu. What's going on... need to pay attention to."

The illegitimate prisoner Mi giggled: "I just got married, why is it so complicated? Then I will write a letter to tell my parents..."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "It's not that simple. Our Mohist family wants to change customs, but what kind of customs can be changed? What kind of customs can be changed? What kind of customs can be moved? What kind of customs can be moved? What kind of? The situation in Si Shang is different from here. How can you think so simple?"

After saying that, he pulled out a piece of paper from a thick stack of paper in his hand and said, "Look at this."

The gang captain Mi Da glanced at him and couldn't help but curse, "Isn't this a rumor? Zi Mozi's name is Zhai, so why did he become a barbarian? It's not so useful if he is fake or universal!"

There are some rumors on the paper that began to circulate in some cities in the south, saying that Mo Di is called Mo Di? Because Mo Di is a barbarian, and Mo Di means Mo Di. The reason why it is called Mo Di means that this is a barbarian who has been punished by Mo Di. Therefore, the rules and customs of the Mo family are not the habit of Xia. The princes in the world should abide by the etiquette of the Di, and the Mo family should not cause the Mo family to disrupt the etiquette of Xia.

Cheng Wei also said angrily: "If we scold Confucian scholars, we don't call him Zhongni, but Kong. But we didn't say that Kong was a barbarian, this..."

The confrontation between Confucian and Mohism has long been started, and the name "Kong" was also spread from the Mohist school's "False Confucian". It has been used for a long time and may have been used until two thousand years later when the Kong family shop was defeated.

The confrontation between Confucian and Mohism gradually developed from the beginning of academic disputes to the point of personal attacks.

So-called:

Kong was the Lusigang bandit, and he gave up his family and served Ji Sun. Ji Sun left after he was the prime minister of Lu Jun. Ji Sun competed with the people of the town to make a decision to plant the village.

Kong was poor between Cai and Chen, and the quinoa soup was not eaten. Ten days later, Zilu was to enjoy pigs, and Kong did not ask where the meat came from. He ate people's clothes were glutinous wine, and Kong did not ask where the wine came from. Gong Ai welcomed Confucius, and did not sit on the table, and did not eat without being right. Zilu came forward and asked, "Why did he go to Chen? Cai?" Kong said, "Come on, I talked to my daughter: I used to be a good birth, but now I have a good righteousness with my daughter." When we have hunger, we will not refuse to take it to live; when we win the bastard, we will act as a false act to pretend to be yourself. Who is more important than this?

That is to say, when Kong was a gang of Lu State, Ji Sun and Lu Jun had a conflict, and Kong raised the city gate to cover Ji Sun's retreat.
