Chapter 814
Tao Bao raised his hand with dull eyes, "I'm fine." It's just that his visual nerves can't keep up with the information.

"Are you really okay? Is there any other discomfort? How about I go to Master Fangsu to show you?" The girl was full of worry, and then looked at Tao Bao's dull eyes. go outside.

"Wait a minute!" Tao Bao hurriedly called to stop him, and at the same time he finished receiving and digesting the message, he stood up and stretched out his hand to hold him back.

"Sister Baozi?" The girl was very worried, "Why are you up!"

"Ji Xiang, I'm ready, really." Tao Bao shook his head and laughed, pulling Ji Xiang who was still dazed back to kneel and sit at the low table again.

There were two plates of dim sum on the table. According to the information, these two plates of dim sum were named Taozhi and Guixin respectively. Tao Bao didn't know if they were delicious or not, but the two plates in front of her looked delicious.

This is her dinner. In the Heian period, the social class was strict. Generally speaking, the nobles only ate two meals a day, and the meal time was strict.

The staple food is rice, and there is also a kind of tunshi nigiri.There is porridge and dry rice, but because Emperor Tenmu ordered the fasting of cattle, horses, dogs, apes, and chickens during the previous Asuka period, Emperor Shomu issued a ban on the consumption of cattle and horses during the Nara period.

So in the Heian period, people had formed the habit of not eating animal meat. Therefore, if Tao Bao wanted to eat meat for dinner today, he would have nowhere to go.

In Inari Taisha Shrine, breakfast and dinner are very strict, if not because of special illness, it is already past dinner time, Tao Bao would not have dinner.

The girl next to her is Ji Xiang, one of the many maidens in the Inari Shrine. She has just turned 14 years old and has not yet made her coming-of-age ceremony.

As for Tao Bao's age here, she is already an adult girl and one of the witches. She usually takes good care of Ji Xiang, and the two have a good relationship.

With all the information in his mind, Tao Bao felt confident, took a plate of snacks and handed it to Ji Xiang, and said with a smile:
"Good sister, thanks to you for taking care of me these few days, my sister has nothing else, so I'll thank you with a plate of dim sum first, don't let me dislike you."

"Sister Baozi, this is your dinner. Ji Xiang has already used it, so you can keep it for yourself, sister." Ji Xiang lowered her head shyly. She is introverted and will not refuse people. She is worried about Sister Baozi. I will keep persuading her, a little flustered.

However, Tao Bao didn't try to persuade her anymore, but twisted a piece and brought it to her mouth, jokingly said:
"Quick! If you don't eat it, you will throw it away."

Ji Xiang didn't expect her to come here. She was embarrassed at first, but finally remembered that food should not be wasted, so she quickly opened her small mouth and bit into the snack.

This dessert is soft, glutinous and sweet, how can a girl not love it?Ji Xiang is no exception, although she has already eaten, it does not prevent her from eating more now.

Surrounded by the sweetness of the dim sum, the girl showed a satisfied smile, thanked Tao Bao vaguely with a puffy face, and began to savor it carefully.

Seeing her eating, Tao Bao felt relieved, and he ate a piece at a leisurely pace, urging Ji Xiang to eat a piece from time to time, and a girl's silver bell-like laughter came from the small town room from time to time.

As the sun sets in the west, the foothills of Inari Mountain are painted red, and the green smoke floats out every now and then, making it a little hazy, like a fairyland on earth.

Fushimi Inari Taisha is located at the foot of Inari Mountain in Kusushinouchi Town, Fushimi District, Kyoto City. It is the head office of all Inari Taisha in the country. It has been built for more than two hundred years.

Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine mainly enshrines the Inari gods headed by Yuga's soul god. They have been the gods of agriculture and commerce since ancient times. Every year, a large number of pilgrims come to the shrine to pray for good weather, prosperous business, and traffic safety. This shrine has become one of the most popular shrines in the Kyoto area.

At the same time as the incense is flourishing, there are naturally many witches who need to be guarded. In the large shrine, there are more than 100 witches except the chief witch who manages various affairs.

Among the more than 100 people, there are only ten people who really practice witchcraft, or in other words, the way of yin and yang. They are taught by the chief witch He Maofangsu, and Ji Xiang and Tao Bao are two of the ten disciples.

I have to mention the Kamo clan here. The Kamo clan was originally in charge of the calendar, but starting from the current head of the family, Kamo Tadayuki, who mastered the calendar, astronomy and Onmyodo at the same time, he took over the Onmyodo. The Kamo clan This also became the Yin Yang Tao Sect.

The great witch was born in the He Mao family. Although she was only a collateral girl, she had an excellent talent for yin and yang since she was a child.

In the Heian Era at that time, whether a woman's status was high or not mainly depended on her natal family. Usually, the man came to marry her. The larger the natal family's support group, the higher the woman's status.

Although men can still be polygamous, not all wives live with them, and most women live in their natal families. This is a peculiar phenomenon left over from the transition from matrilineal society to patrilineal society too quickly.

The status of women in this era is far higher than in other eras. After all, decades ago, there were many eras ruled by female emperors, and the status of women was naturally revived.

Unknowingly, the night fell, Tao Bao and Ji Xiang finished all the snacks together, Ji Xiang took the initiative to pack up, and planned to take it to the kitchen to clean, Tao Bao called her to stop, and said with a smile:
"Wait a minute, sister Ji Xiang, let's go together, I just want to go for a walk."

"Well, that's good, Ji Xiang will wait for you at the door first." Ji Xiang nodded, went out first, put on the red rope straw sandals and waited outside the door.

According to the rules here, Tao Bao got up and put on the white and red string jacket on the hanger, pinned the sword bell on the low table in front of the hanger, and tied his hair behind his head with a red ribbon. Go out of the house, put on your shoes, close the door and walk to the kitchen with Ji Xiang.

The night was beautiful tonight, and there was white mist on the foot of the mountain not far away, and the sounds of some animals came from time to time, which made Tao Bao, who had just arrived, feel very mysterious and surprised.

Thinking of the sound of running water that he heard earlier, Tao Bao turned his head and looked to the left, and he saw a small stream, gurgling water, and the moonlight cast down, reflecting the bright water.

The houses in this area are all built by the stream, and all the houses are connected in series by a promenade.Red lanterns are lit on the promenade, illuminating the long road brightly, making it very convenient for pedestrians to walk.

There is also a gravel road extending in all directions in the middle of the house. Compared with the promenade, the witches prefer to walk it when it is not raining. Not only can they enjoy the scenery, but also the space is large, and the witches in twos and threes will not look crowded when walking together.

Ji Xiang led Tao Bao along the gravel road, with a food box in her left hand and a yellow lantern transformed from talisman paper in her right hand. While leading the way, she turned her head from time to time and told Tao Bao what happened during the day Interesting facts.

The ones who talked the most were Her Majesty the Empress who had just left and her eldest daughter, Prince Jingyanai.

She spoke in front with great interest, and Tao Bao listened silently behind, echoing a few words or asking some questions from time to time, and the two chatted like this and walked to the big kitchen.
