Good Life in Qin Dynasty

"Auntie ordered, all you drink is boiling water, boiled water that has cooled." Ying Zheng quickly explained in a low voice: "Mine too!"

Li Jiyang didn't believe it, so he took a sip from his, huh?It is also boiled water!

"Why?" Li Jiyang's small face twitched. What's the matter with discrimination?

"You can't drink if you're a grown-up, didn't you say that?" Ying Zheng whispered to Li Jiyang, "My mother never let me drink."

Li Jiyang was speechless, so he shot himself in the foot?

He also wants to taste what the real Warring States wine tastes like!

At this moment, the servant's voice shouted: "Madame Zhao Ji is here!"

"Madam Wang Jiao is here!"

Because there is no queen in the harem, these two wives are the highest-ranking women in the harem. Although Zhao Ji is favored, Wang Jiao has a backer!

So the person in charge of the celebration didn't know what to think, and put the two of them together into the arena!

So one came from the east, and the other came from the west, and the two met eye to eye!

Li Jiyang was dumbfounded!

He suddenly remembered the words of sister Lin in A Dream of Red Mansions: Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind—now that the second wind is blowing, he can see lightning jumping out of both of them, causing a big explosion!

Zhao Ji was naturally well dressed, and what Li Jiyang gave her were all good things, especially the conch pearl inlaid on the headdress she was wearing today.

Mrs. Wang Jiao wore pearls on her head. There were a total of twelve pearls, which looked like a flower. Each one was the size of a thumb belly, and it was very obvious when she wore it on her head!

It's just that she is only as big as the pearls on her head, but the pearls on her ears are much smaller, making her look a bit top-heavy.

When Ying Zheng saw what she was wearing, he lowered his head and took a sip of water... Sure enough, he was fooled!

Cheng Jiao, who came with Mrs. Wang Jiao, saw that Ying Zheng was already sitting there, and there was another person he didn't know, his eyes were going to be poisonous!

The two girls came slowly, walked on the aisle of the Autumn Banquet, and started a war of words.

"Today is the autumn banquet, why is my sister wearing such beads?" Mrs. Wang Jiao raised her neck and looked at Zhao Ji jealously.

"This is a snail pearl. My sister doesn't know it." Mrs. Zhao Ji took a sip of the cherry, and slowly told her some legends about snail beads that Li Jiyang had told her.

Although the pearls sent before were precious, there are many in the world.

The most common white pearls, to the rarest golden pearls, black pearls, and even pink pearls, but conch pearls are different, only one in ten thousand conch can produce pearls, and one in ten thousand chance of growing up, and ten thousand One-in-one chance to be collected!

At this time, Lu Buwei couldn't take his eyes off the jewels on Zhao Ji's head. He sat there blushing and said loudly: "It is said that wearing conch pearls can hear the singing of the elves in the sea. But now, the King of Chu The Empress Dowager's Nine Phoenix Crown is inlaid with a conch pearl!"

It is the only known large conch pearl, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is priceless.

Under the light of candles in the house, a delicate and bright golden-red conch pearl is slightly oval and about the size of a quail egg. Blind, anyone can see that this conch pearl is simply a priceless treasure!

Seeing this luxurious and dreamy conch pearl, and then looking at Mrs. Wang Jiao's body, she immediately felt that Mrs. Wang Jiao was vulgar, too vulgar, too vulgar!

Even King Zhuang Xiang felt that Wang Jiao was ashamed of him!

Look at Zhao Ji, she is well-dressed, without heavy makeup, elegant in plain, low-key yet luxurious, this is what a wife should look like!

Look at Wang Jiao again, with a bright red mouth, abrupt eyebrows, and face powder, he can smell that pungent smell from such a distance!

At this moment, King Zhuang Xiang felt that there was something wrong with his eyes. How could he favor such a woman as Wang Jiao?Or Zhao Ji!

I have shared hardships with myself, and now I should share joys and sorrows!

He stretched out his hand to Zhao Ji: "Come and sit here."

Zhao Ji stepped forward slowly: "Master."

"Ai Ji is very beautiful today!" King Zhuang Xiang admired Zhao Ji very much, she was sensible and decent, she was his wife Chu.

"Thank you for your praise." Zhao Ji walked over with Tingting, and knelt down beside King Zhuang Xiang.

And Ying Zheng pulled Li Jiyang and sat under them without hesitation, looking like a family!

Cheng Jiao's eyes were red!

At the same time, Lu Buwei was red-eyed.

Thinking of letting Yang Feiying win over Li Jiyang, and taking him to his own jewelry store, thinking of the treasure of the town store that he was proud of, compared with the conch pearls that he gave away at random, he really missed it. Spit blood!

"You still don't sit down, what are you doing standing there?" Seeing Wang Jiao still standing there, King Zhuang Xiang felt annoyed, sneered, and his face turned pale.

"Promise!" Mrs. Wang Jiao with a pale face, pulled her son to sit in front of the desk, how excited she was when she came, how much she wanted to avenge her shame, how regretful she is now, how embarrassing she is!

It is said that green leaves set off red flowers. In the past, Wang Jiao was a red flower, but now she suddenly turned into green leaves, and Zhao Ji, a big red flower, is really dazzling!

It was here that Zhao Ji held her head steady during the Spring Banquet, and now it made her life worse than death!

The women in the harem followed Zhao Ji and Mrs. Wang Jiao, but they were not as outstanding as Zhao Ji and Wang Jiao. Among the children who were younger than Cheng Jiao, there were two girls who followed her on this occasion. After the mother passed away, she went to the side of the female relatives, and only two of the boys were still learning to walk. They were hugged up to celebrate and then let the nanny take them down. It would be bad if such a small child couldn't control the peeing. .

Waiting for all the women in the harem to arrive, the wives from outside also came in. They were all the wives of the ministers. They went to the banquet separately, and they all sat beside their husbands, and beside the lord above, Zhao Ji was sitting. .

Li Jiyang secretly pinched Ying Zheng's hand: "Damn is so majestic!"

Ying Zheng smiled and poured him a glass of water: "Don't talk nonsense, Mrs. Wang Jiao's side is also very good."

As the green leaves to set off A Niang, Mrs. Wang Jiao's face almost turned green!

The autumn banquet officially began. Two teams of men and women came up, standing on both sides, and another team of women came up.

The golden bell is played, the drums and lutes are played together, the voice of the singer is loud and clear, the dancer slowly comes to the stage, the light gauze is flying, the green feathers are dressed, and the dancing posture is graceful and radiant. This is the Qin court dance!

Li Jiyang's eyes widened, he almost drooled from watching so intently!

Ying Zheng looked at Li Jiyang's seriousness and thought he had never seen it before, so he explained to him: "This dance is Xianchi, the music is Taicu, and the name of the song is Yingzhong."

"Is it something in the ritual and music system?" Li Jiyang asked Ying Zheng: "Is it used for offering sacrifices to the earth?"

"Do you know the system of rites and music?" Ying Zheng was also surprised. This thing is usually studied by scholar-bureaucrats, or princes. Of course, the emperor of Zhou has no prestige now, and the rites and music have collapsed.

He also relied on this rule to restrain the princes, but who listened to him?

Now this thing, isn't it still staged in Qin Palace?According to the regulations, isn't this thing enjoyed by the emperor?

"It's just that my master taught it, but I didn't have the chance to watch it." Li Jiyang looked at the beautiful and magnificent dance in front of him seriously. A dance that has been passed down to this day.

Because it is a sacrifice to the sage Confucius, no matter which dynasty dare not pass it down, even during the war, no one forgets it.

All other dances are lost!

Everyone can only see one or two dance moves from the murals of the ancient tomb, and when they piece together, a few ancient dances have been revived, and they don't know if they are right or wrong.

Not to mention what music to play and what song to sing?

The dance moves can be portrayed, but what about the music?What about songs?

Ying Zheng didn't know why Li Jiyang was suddenly a little upset. It was not the time to talk about something, so he put his arms around his shoulders and whispered to him, "Look at the hands of those dancers."

Li Jiyang heard the words and looked over. The dancers dressed in light gauze, probably because they celebrated the harvest. Their clothes were yellow and red. They held small fans made of kingfisher feathers in their hands, indicating that the prey was also abundant. The key point is that on their wrists, they actually wear pearl bracelets that are smaller than the pearls on Mrs. Wang Jiao's head. When there were few pearls, everyone regarded them as treasures. Now the Qin Palace is about to overflow with pearls. It's a disaster!

Even the dancers brought a bunch of them!

If Mrs. Wang Jiao's complexion can look good, she will be called a ghost!

"Hey hey hey...!" Li Jiyang smirked at Ying Zheng's ear: "It deserves it! It's too early to get some pearls and pretend to be rich!"

"What do you mean big money?"

"It means a rich person, but it means that the poor have become rich. Well, they are also called local tyrants!" Li Jiyang popularized the title for Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng glanced at Lu Buwei subconsciously.

Li Jiyang followed his gaze, he looked like a middle-aged man, but his eyes were a little too philistine.

"Then who is it?" Li Jiyang didn't know Lu Buwei.

"Lu Buwei...Xiangbang." Ying Zheng whispered to Li Jiyang.

Li Jiyang: "...!"

This is Lu Buwei who is famous, well-known, with mixed reputations in history?

"He is Wen Xinhou?" Li Jiyang couldn't believe it, and met Lu Buwei now?

"Yes!" Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei warily: "He is Wen Xinhou."

At this moment, Lu Buwei was sitting there by himself, fascinatedly looking at Zhao Ji... the conch pearl on her head!

"Huh!" Ying Zheng glared at Lu Buwei angrily, dare to stare at his mother like that, what does Lu Buwei mean?

Li Jiyang didn't expect Lu Buwei to be unscrupulous at this time, but he thought it was a bit strange. If it happened like that, at least Lu Buwei should be lewd!

But he doesn't seem to be lewd, but obsessed!

But if Lu Buwei was really obsessed with Zhao Ji's beauty, it would be impossible to dedicate Zhao Ji to Lingzi Chu at that time!

Li Jiyang looked at Zhao Ji, but Zhao Ji didn't seem to notice, and chirped Lu Buwei again, still obsessed.

This reminded Li Jiyang of one thing. It is said that the reason why Lu Buwei became famous back then was because he used 1000 taels of gold to buy Zhou Tianzi's jewel, Haolan, in the country of Zhao.

Later, this beautiful orb was given to Mrs. Huayang by Lu Buwei, saying that it was a gift from Wang Sunyi, so it was related to Mrs. Huayang.

When he bought the orb, Haolan, he hadn't connected with a stranger yet!

This can only show that Lu Buwei is very interested in jewelry, but he doesn't know about beauties!

But seeing Ying Zheng's angry look, he was afraid that Ying Zheng would not be able to hold back and exploded on the spot!

Thinking about it, if his mother was looked at like this, even in modern times, he would violently beat her up, okay?

"Ah Zheng, look at Lu Buwei, I wish I could stick it on the conch beads worn by my godmother!" Li Jiyang secretly pointed at Lu Buwei, asking Ying Zheng to take a closer look.

Ying Zheng was taken aback when he heard this!

"What kind of background is Wen Xinhou after all? When he sees good, top-quality, and precious jewels, he can't take his eyes off!" Li Jiyang curled his lips secretly: "This is only a conch pearl, and he is like this. If it is a night pearl, he You have to hold on and not let go!"

Ying Zheng laughed as soon as he heard it: "No nonsense!"

"No nonsense!" Li Jiyang complained even more quietly: "Look, his eyes are full of gold, bang bang, bang bang, I can hear it!"
