Chapter two hundred and eighty-four new customs and old rituals (six)

"I'll talk about this when I come back tonight. Don't choke you two. If you have nothing to do, go to the market to buy some vinegar, buy fish, and make me soaked soup to sober up at night, you will have to drink... After walking through many places, Gaoliu's vinegar is the best."

When the girl heard her father say this, she cheered and rushed over and said, "Father is the best."

The mother who was scolded and wanted to buy jealousy replied, "What a f*ck. He is going to sell you money!"

The girl didn't care and laughed and said, "He is willing to sell, and I like the buyer, what's wrong with it?"

After saying that, he ran away.

The man gathered some money from the family, put it in his arms, and hurriedly left.

…………

At night, when the drunk man came back, a large bowl of sour soup made of small crucian carp and old vinegar was placed on the table.

He snorted in the clay pot and drank two cans, then he suppressed the smell of alcohol coming back. His wife made some water for him to drink and soaked a small piece of black tea-pressing cake.

"Why are you drinking so much? Who are you drinking with?"

My husband touched the black clay pot with tea cakes, took two gulps, and smiled drunkenly, "Who did you say you drank this with? I heard the Mo family tell a story at the banquet today."

If a person in Qi has a wife and a concubine and a concubine, his good man will have enough wine and meat before he will turn over. If his wife asks about where to eat, he will be rich and noble. His wife tells his concubine, "If a good man comes out, he will have enough wine and meat before he will turn over. If he asks about where to eat, he will have enough wealth and noble, but no one has ever come, I will ruin the place where to eat."

When a flea comes up, he gives it to the good man, and there is no talk in the country. When he is in the east, the village is in the east, and the people who worship the others, he beg for the rest; if he is not enough, he will look at it. This is the way to satisfy him.

His wife returned and told his concubine, saying, "A good man is what he looks up to and has been looking forward to forever. Now he is like this." He chatted with his concubine and cried in the courtyard, but the good man did not know that, so he came from outside and arrogantly abstained from his wife and concubine.

From a gentleman's perspective, the reason why people seek wealth and prosperity is that their wives and concubines are not ashamed and do not cry together is almost astonished.

The wife burst out laughing, and said with a gentleman's head: "Listen, listen, from the gentleman's perspective, then the reason why people seek wealth and prosperity is that their wives and concubines are not ashamed, but do not cry together is very rare!"

"There are only a few of you who seek wealth, money, and official positions, who can make your wives and concubines not ashamed."

"You are so embarrassed to tell this story. If you don't think about what to do if your daughter is lonely in the future, you just want to get in touch with the Mo family and be a marriage partner. Do I have to cry in the yard?"

The husband touched his wife's hand drunk and smiled, "Cry? You haven't heard all this story. They are his wife and his concubine, crying in the atrium... You are still missing someone."

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

The husband laughed and said, "No need to try it. The Si Shang has made a law. From now on, it will not be as simple as taking concubines from the Women's Department to block the door every day to reason. Instead, they will violate the ban and violate the law. They will be arrested for labor reform. I don't want to dig coal in Gaoliu for a year..."

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

The husband spat and said, "You women, isn't this a good thing for you? Why do you dislike being strict with your control?"

The wife smiled and said, "I'm afraid that something else will be as strict."

"Um."

The husband nodded and said, "There are no other things that are equally strict. The story of you being a wife and a concubine in Qi is really just a joke at a banquet? I advise us not to be too dirty in the way of getting rich. It is a trivial matter for wives and concubines to cry in the court with shame. It is a big matter for being pulled out and executed by gunfire. The Mo family said that this is called first rituals and then soldiers, first illumination and then not fighting."

"The people of the Mo family are so good at drinking that they persuade us to drink. They are drunk and they want to reason with us. The Mo family's wine is too strong, so they have only drunk some of it in the past few years. If I had only drunk those sour wines in the past, I was afraid that one cup would fall down after drinking."

"This time, long-term employment is allowed, but that is not a slave. Let us distinguish what is a hired worker and what is a slave. We cannot beat or scold you. We have to organize these hired workers to listen to lecture notes every day. Fortunately, we have made money back in four years."

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

"The things you worry about are useless. Do you think that the Mo family is only in Gaoliu? This time, they are defeated in Qi State and have all fought to Linzi State of Qi State... Do you know Qi State? The Qi State that Taigong looked forward to, what are you afraid of? They are still implicated... You and I will die if you really get to that point. You have also read the story of Wucheng's massacre in the city. Just because Wucheng is too close to Si Shang, they will be slaughtered. If the Mo family is defeated that day, we will all be slaughtered. Do you understand? You and I have never heard of people who are equal to the old and the young, the noble and the humble are all equal? ​​Have you and I have never heard of the lecture notes of the Mo family gatherings? Isn't it that my son went south to fight for the war this time, my son did not serve and follow him?"

The wife muttered, "It's still different? That young man forced the young master to death. His family had blood debts from the nobles. Aren't we still not blood debts?"

When the husband heard this, he smiled angrily and cursed: "You have lived in Gaoliu for too long and regard Gaoliu's Dharma as the law of the world. Gaoliu's Dharma is reasonable and divided, and does not interfere with others. Do you think the Dharma outside is the same? Didn't you forget it?"

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

In other words, she has been inadvertently assimilated by these morals of the Mohist school.

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

"How can there be thousands of miles? People have said that it is only three thousand miles, not much. Besides, if he is in Gaoliu, then let his daughter live in his own home..."

The wife said, "Isn't that ridiculous? It's not that it's Gui Ning or that it's not that I'm retired. How can I live in our family? I have to serve my parents-in-law..."

The husband yelled and asked, "Who is ridiculed? What are you afraid of? When you and I were peddlers, we were often ridiculed? You have never heard of the song that mocked peddlers."

"Sunnong, industrial and commercial, civil and commercial, civil and commercial, we businessmen were originally inferior to civil and civil. Now, who would laugh at whom?"

"In the past... no one laughs at you if you have money. You are nothing. Bloodline? Bloodline? Those who are noble in blood are now squatting in a hair washing workshop to do things. Who respects it? I bought a spinning wheel at home and operated a business business. I earned dozens of gold a year. In the eight generations, there was no noble ancestor. Now who laughs at me?"

"Besides, my daughter likes it. I also know a lot about that young man. He is from Sikami, so I think it's very good."

The wife sighed helplessly, "But even so, this betrothal gift is required? Otherwise, if we really want to be laughed at, we will flatter the Mohist family and give our daughter as a gift..."

The husband snorted, "The Mo family has always been appropriate in doing things. I still know this. Look, if that guy really wants to do it, someone will soon be hired. If it is unintentional, then save your worries and follow what you said."

…………

A few days later.

It was just dawn and the sun was about to come out, and Gaoliu City was already busy.

Especially in late autumn, the sun comes out late, but it is actually getting late.

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

Two young men in their thirties got out of the car, carrying a pair of big white geese in their hands. Of course, they were not alive, but just slaughtered.

A woman got out of the car behind.

The woman's dress is obviously like a witch, but it is not uncommon in this kind of place.

The woman wore some curved decorations on her head, like weeds.

He was wearing a witch uniform and was decorated with many black feathers on the back.

This is the specific dress of the "Spring God" witch in the north. Of course, the name "Spring God" is called "Jumang", which is the chief minister of the later Eastern Emperor, Mu Zheng Jumang, and Jumang with bird body and human head.

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, due to the problem of transphonic and dialect, Jumang was also called Gao Ji. Basically, there are located in the suburbs of every city, and it is also called the suburbs of the god.

The observer is a medium, and after his divine nature, he will turn a woman into a god.

On the Shangsi Festival, in the middle of spring, the man can't help but run away, just to commemorate the God of Jumang.

At the beginning, Shangsi Festival was a large-scale sacrificial activity, hosted by a special witch and staff, praying for the smooth spring farming, praying for childbirth, and praying for marriage.

Because the essence of planting agriculture is childbirth.

Therefore, the last paragraph of the eight dances in "The Journey of Ge Tian" that has been passed down from ancient times to the present in Zhuxia is to simulate the matching appearance of various animals, and of course, it also includes people.

Later, the sacred meaning of this sacrifice gradually diminished and gradually became a gathering of young men and women. When spring was thought of spring, men and women gathered together, something naturally happened, so the rule of "in the mid-spring month, I can't help but run away."

The summers are extremely large, and the core of the myth is similar, but the statue of the Jumangchun god worshipped in different places is different.

Jumang in Qi State is a bird. Standing on a Fusang wood, it has many relationships with the sun.

The State of Chu was called Dongjun, and it was the sun god, which also had a great relationship with Fusang.

In the land of Bashu, directly worship the sacred trees and the birds on the sacred trees.

However, among the folks in Yanzhao, Jumang God is a woman, that is, swallowing the egg of the Xuanbird, and born Jian Di of the Shang Dynasty.
