Chapter 304: Rebirth and Death (1)
Chaos are coming, and there are no strange phenomena in the sky.
The most representative vision of disaster is about the comet. Before Mozi's death, in the year of the Tian family's coup, the periodic comet that was most easily discovered by humans appeared.
The last time that comet appeared, the classics of various countries were still complete, and the historical books of various countries were not burned. So the Mohist family told the world that that year: that comet was the comet carrying the "in July of autumn, there was a star in the Beidou" carried by Duke Wen of Lu; it was also the one that appeared in the tenth year of Duke Li of Qin more than 70 years ago.
And tell the world that this is not a symbol of disaster, it is just a star that rotates around the sun. The so-called "comet is light but it is light against the sun" is just reflecting the light of the sun, just like the moon.
And it is predicted that this comet will appear again in seventy-four, five or six years.
These theories were soon spread among the market with the development of papermaking and printing. Fortunately, the historical materials of various countries that were not burned at this time made this speculation of inference from the past quickly become the theory that people believe.
In the huge cities and towns of Jiuzhou, people's understanding of the starry sky gradually changed from an unknown panic that felt that they were small and powerless to an "delusion" that wanted to explore the "reason of the will of heaven".
Now that comet with a cycle of 76 years will naturally not appear again in just over a decade, and these years have been a good weather.
Under the times, ordinary people do not have such a sensitive sense of chaos. Before the chaos comes, people will never believe that chaos is coming.
Moreover, even if chaos arises, people still have to eat, drink water, marry, reproduce, and struggle in suffering to complete the most basic meaning of human and animal nature.
Although the arrival of Hu Feizi, Meng Sheng and a large group of Mo people in the distant north led to many speculations, when the wedding of the prisoner Mi was held, many people in the city still watched the excitement with a joyful feeling.
There are rumors that chaos is coming, but it has not started yet, right? You can't learn from the story of worrying about the world.
This is a model wedding with symbolic meaning. In order to achieve "saving" to the greatest extent in the future, it also promotes superficial equality as much as possible. The most superficial equality of old weddings is the prohibition of wedding music. Even the emperor and the princes must not play music like the common people. The former is not, and the latter cannot.
The official wedding carriages organized are also to maximize the wedding's comparison due to wealth during the wedding process.
After all, the path Mohist family took was destined to intensify the gap between the rich and the poor in the future, and it was even more destined that many people might miss the pastoral beauty under the feudal system.
There are even more different meanings about the union between the two parties.
One is a man in the Mo family army.
One is the daughter of a new businessman.
The former represents theory, morality and force. The latter represents a new class of money and an emerging production relationship. In Meng Sheng's words, this is considered a combination of heaven.
On the road from the military camp and family areas in Gaoliu City to the city, the snow that fell a few days ago had already been cleaned up by the people of Gaoliu under the jurisdiction of the "Snow in front of the Door" Act.
The crackling sound of firecrackers passed by, and a large group of children rushed into the smoke of gunpowder, looking for firecrackers that had broken the lead due to the impact of the explosion, and then blocked the carriage of the gangster Mi who was going to pick up the bride, and asked him to eat candy.
The fried melon seeds and peanuts were thrown down. The children were satisfied with picking them up, so they made the way out.
According to the past custom, Mi was wearing a new black dress and sitting in a carriage. In front of her was the emperor's hand of the wedding company: According to the custom, only after picking up the bride, the groom needs to drive around the bride's house three times before she can hand it over to the emperor.
But ordinary people do not have horse-drawn carriages and specialize in their professions. In the future, all this will be done by special wedding official media.
There were some military families nearby, and the illegitimate prisoner Mi hummed the song she wanted to sing when she got married, which was both a festive and an invitation.
I was shutting down the car and thought that the girl had passed away.
The bandits are hungry and thirsty, and their virtues are covered. Although they have no friends, they are happy.
According to the flat forest, there is a Jiawei Hair and a Huo Girl in Chen, so De will come to teach.
The style of Yan is also famous, but you don’t shoot.
Although there is no wine, drink it in a good place, and although there is no delicacy, eat it in a good place.
Although he has no virtue and a woman, he sings and dances.
Rise up the high hill, analyze the sautum firewood, analyze the sautum firewood, and the leaves are lush.
I think so much, my heart writes.
The mountains look up to you, the scenery moves, the four peony trees and the six bridles are like zithers.
I am impressed by the new tide to comfort my heart.
The most critical sentence in the whole article may have been circulated for hundreds of years, or may even continue to circulate in the summer for thousands of years.
Although there is no wine, drink it in a good place, and although there is no delicacy, eat it in a good place.
To put it another word in the market, it is: the wine is not good and the food is not good, but everyone should eat and drink well.
The sacred prisoner Mi didn't know that the wine and food were not good, but if you want to eat and drink well, it would continue to be passed down for thousands of years, and it went from wedding banquets to weekday gatherings.
Several older women or middle-aged men whistled at the prisoner Mi and shouted: "Bandits and bandits are thirsty, De Yin can do it. Are you really not thirsty?"
After a few whistles and jokes, the prisoner Mi's face turned a little red, knowing that she might have to face more explicit words at the wedding.
The few people who followed him to pick up the bride laughed and scolded the snowballs, and smashed the prisoner if Mi was really a thirsty person, and laughed.
The two people walking in the front were carrying two lanterns. This was an old habit, not an old habit.
The old habit requires candles, and two people also need to block the wind.
However, when the old habits emerged, there was no paper and it could not be made into lanterns. Therefore, following the moral principles of the changes in the material foundation brought about changes in customs, the Mohist school changed to paper lanterns.
It was already late, but it was just right. The wedding ceremony, the etiquette at dusk, did not get married during the day, but were all in the evening.
The military camp is located in the northwest of the city. It is originally superstitious and is responsible for conquering the northwest, but some things become habitual after a long time.
Xinger's home is in the downtown area, the most prosperous place in Gaoliu, and the industry and commerce are close to the city. Over time, it has become a gathering area for industry and commerce. After all, Gaoliu does not have many large-scale hydraulic workshops now, and the wool textile industry is still mainly home handicraft workshops and factories.
Now there are a lot of people gathered in front of her house. Those women who are hired workers in her house have long been looking forward to this wedding. They don’t have to work today, and there are also some small amounts of food.
The door was closed. According to the past custom of preventing "grabbing brides", the male relatives of the family stood outside the door and waited.
This custom is one of the remnants left by the habit of robbing a bride in ancient times, and the other is also a warning to the man that he can swing his fists at home, which is a warning of changing direction.
Xing'er was baking a fire in the room, wearing a new dress, and a few female companions who had attended girls' school together were bridesmaids, singing songs to joke.
Wait for me to be in touch with me, fill my ears with me, and respect me to be in the brilliance of me.
Wait for me to come in the courtyard. I fill my ears with green, and I respect it with brightness.
Wait for me to go to the hall, fill my ears with yellow, and respect it with Qiongying.
This was the song sing by the sisters of Teng concubines who had married when the aristocratic women were married, and they were very happy.
In normal times, there is no hall or screen in the family, so naturally I don’t have to wait for me.
Xing'er hasn't seen the illegitimate prisoner Mi for a long time. When she heard her daughter's companion sing, her lover naturally appeared in her heart, but then she felt a little sad again.
Winter is about to pass, and I am leaving home and going to Si Shang. Everything is a brand new life and a panic that has not arrived.
Everything at home is well organized, there is not much to prepare, and the dowry is ready, and some pre-marriage education is also completed in the pre-marriage school of the official media, as long as it is carried out step by step.
Everything seemed calm, my parents smiled, and everything seemed to be fine.
But when firecrackers sounded outside, this calm smile was finally broken.
The mother held Xing'er's hand and wanted to smile and say, "It's so cold, don't bother him, let's go now."
But before I could say it, tears finally fell down, just holding my daughter's hand.
Xing'er couldn't help but cry, and a few of her companions hurriedly persuaded her a few more times before stopping.
They met each other all the way, got out of the house, got in the car, and walked around her house for three times. Xing'er wanted to tell the new rules that she could come back in less than three months, but after thinking for a long time, she felt that her parents must have known that they would leave after three days, so they stopped talking.
The car was not cold, there was a small stove. The prisoner Mi and she always had a lot of things to say when they met, but on the day of marriage, they couldn't say anything.
When I heard the crackling sound of firecrackers again, I don’t know how long it took, but the prisoner Mi took her hands and got out of the car.
The people in the room were already waiting there. This was a hall in the military camp, with nearly 200 people sitting in it, and all kinds of food had been placed.
As soon as they entered the house, the one placed in front of the two was a roasted sheep. The first thing they did when they married their wives and went to their home was to eat together.
It may not be a sheep, it may not be a cow, it may not be a whole sheep, it is 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 some places also used gourds.
There was a faint wine inside. The couple held each other a cut-out bitter gourd, drank a glass of wine together, then put down the cut-out bitter gourd, combined it into one, and tied a piece of red rope.
The wine is sweet and the bitter melon is bitter, which symbolizes that there are both bitter and sweet life in the future.
There is the so-called "there are bitter leaves in the trunk, and the benefits are deep." The large gourd and bitter gourd are also tools for crossing the water. The meaning of a couple who share the same boat is to help each other.
The parents of the illegitimate prisoners were not around, and the Mo family did not have the custom of being a wife in the March Temple. The wedding was halfway through this step.
Many people joked at the gangster Mi: "Marry a bride, say something."
Someone also shouted: "Isn't the company commander very good at talking on weekdays? Even the representatives said that you are not bad at being a representative, and how did you marry such a beautiful bride."
If it were normal for the gangster Mi to be so polite, he would have grown up in a place like Si Shang where street speeches are all day long, not to mention facing more than 200 familiar people, no matter how many people he is, he can speak.
But today, I held it in for a long time, and finally I only wrote it down one sentence.
"Although there is no order to drink wine, it is a good place to drink wine, and although there is no delicacy, it is a good place to eat wine."
