Go to ancient times and engage in construction

On the second day of Fan Jin's wedding, Da Zhuang returned to the valley from King Wu's capital. He came back for the Spring Festival.Yu Kui didn't come back, but only asked Da Zhuang to bring back a letter.

In Yu Kui's letter, he first expressed his gratitude to his two lords, and thanked Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui for the new year's goods sent to him. A guest in Dr. Jiang's residence.

The Spring Festival is a good time to build a good relationship with the dignitaries of King Wu. This kind of opportunity cannot be missed, so Yu Kui said that he will not go back to Nanbu for the New Year. In the spring of next year, he will try to go back to Dacheng.In addition, the letter also included the latest news about Yiji. The Chu Kingdom refused to marry, and Yiji only stayed on the bed for three days. After three days, Yiji was resurrected in full condition. The matters were still handled by Yi Ji.

Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui knew earlier than Wu Wanggong that Wu's marriage proposal was rejected.They got the news directly from Chu Wang Ting, Wu Wang Ting only found out when the envoy returned to the country, and Dacheng knew about it later, when the ears and eyes of Wu Wangdu came back to find out.

As soon as Zheng and Chu got the exact news, they decided to comfort the great hero who was undercover in Kangcheng, the capital of the king.Yu Kui is not greedy for money, he only wants to have a master and a stage to display his talents. Of course, what he hopes most is to bring down Chu Wangting and express his regret for his family's misfortune.For such a talented person, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui not only let go of everything in Wu Capital, provided a steady stream of logistical support, but also showed care in the subtleties.

Before the winter solstice, Yu Kui received a mule cart from Nanbu in the capital Kang. There was no gold, silver and jewelry on the mule cart, only clothing, daily necessities and New Year's goods.The clothes are sewn according to his figure, it looks inconspicuous, but there is a universe inside.The most representative is a vest, the fabric is peculiar, it is very light in the hand, but it seems to be wearing a stove when worn on the body, and the vest is down.

In this time and space, it is very laborious to make down, and the produced down has an indelible smell.With down, there is no down fabric, and Nanbu can't produce down fabric that doesn't lose hair.So we know that down is very warm, but we can't make down jackets in the 21st century.

The vest given to Yu Kui was remade from Zheng Yuming's down jacket.The body was changed into a vest, and the two sleeves were changed into knee pads. The remade knee pads were also sent over. Cannes and Bida City are much colder. With these two kinds of clothing to protect against the cold, Yu Kui will not freeze to death.

The stove-like clothes made Yu Kui feel the lord's deep concern, and the New Year's gifts brought Yu Kui even more comfort.There are several altars of high-end green wine in the New Year's goods, which is Yu Kui's favorite wine.There is also a jar of dark red wine, sweet and sour, very delicious.This kind of wine is wine, made from grapes in the yard of the villa, and there are only three jars in total.One jar was for Zheng and Chu's own use, one jar was given to Ulsan Lord, and the last jar was given to Yu Kui, who is a good winemaker.In addition to wine, there are round-grained rice, dumpling and dim sum. The dumpling is made of rice flour mixed with glutinous rice and round-grained rice. The dumpling is filled with different fillings.Dessert is pumpkin and sweet potato pancakes.

Zheng Yuming emphasized in the secret letter sent with the car that the New Year's goods on the mule cart are all for Yu Kui himself, and Yu Kui is not allowed to give these things to the nobles in the capital as wooing gifts.

When Yu Kui received the gift, tears filled his eyes on the spot after reading Zheng Yuming's autographed letter. After losing his loved one, no one cared about him anymore. The things Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui sent with their hearts made Yu Kui relive the memory of his loved ones. warmth.

After Da Zhuang returned to the valley, Da Zhuang's father hurriedly found a matchmaker to go to Carpenter Ge's house to propose marriage for his son. He planned to make an appointment before the Spring Festival this year and marry his son after the spring harvest next year.

Da Zhuang didn't catch up with Fan Jin's alternative wedding. He was very interested in the Bermuda wedding that his father said, and he thought about holding a Bermuda wedding next year when he got married.His father's description was not three-dimensional enough, so Da Zhuang asked the groom official Fan Jin directly.

"Proposing marriage is a little easier, it's not prudent enough!" Da Zhuang scratched his head, his hair was already a little long, and he could soon braid it.The slaves were forced to shave their hair when they entered the valley. After that, there was no requirement for their hair, and they could keep it long or short.Unless there are more lice in the hair, it has to be shaved again.

The weddings of the nobles of the Great Qin Dynasty are quite complicated, and generally go through six main steps: accepting, asking for names, Najib, accepting levy, asking for a date, and welcoming in person. Not as simple as Bermuda.

"I think this is good. The couple were satisfied before they got married, and their lives will be better in the future."

Fan Jin is obviously in favor of such a simplified pre-marriage procedure. In the Bermuda wedding that Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui made up, the engagement is very simple.It means that the girl and the boy agree, as long as the parents of both parties do not object, there is no requirement for the dowry, and the amount of the dowry depends on the situation of each family.

Fan Jin's wife, Ge Da Niu, met Fan Jin at night school to learn how to read and write, and the two got a little interesting after getting along for a long time.When Carpenter Ge wanted to find a good son-in-law in the valley, Da Niu Ge secretly confided her thoughts to her mother.Fan Jin and daughter Ge can be regarded as free love.

"On the day of marriage, apart from worshiping the high hall, do you have to answer questions from the officiant?" Da Zhuang told his son that the questions asked by the officiant were very strange.

"That's not answering questions, that's called taking an oath." Fan Jin took out the marriage schedule and looked at it. It said that you respect him regardless of whether you are happy or poor, rich or poor, good or bad, healthy or sick ( She), help him (her), care for him (her), love him (her) wholeheartedly; build a happy family with him (her) faithfully for life, never leave him (her), and spend a lifetime together.

"That's right! Husband and wife should be like this! I will also hold a Bermuda wedding next year!" Da Zhuang slapped his thigh.

"Are you sure?" Fan Jin's mouth twitched suddenly.

"Of course!"

"Then you won't be able to have a concubine after you become rich!" Fan Jin snickered.

"Ah? Why?" Da Zhuang was stunned. Having a concubine in this time and space is a symbol of wealth and status. Some wives sincerely hope that their husbands will have more concubines, and concubines are under the management of their wives.

"Bermuda pays attention to monogamy, only reconciliation is allowed, and concubines are not allowed."

"Ah?" Da Zhuang wondered what the Bermuda nobles thought.

"Actually, Jin thinks it doesn't matter whether he takes a concubine or not. If he hadn't met the master's family, Jin wouldn't know when he would be able to start a family." Fan Jin was recalling his previous life experience again.

"Yes, it's not lucky to meet the master's family. How could Da Zhuang get married." Da Zhuang felt that if he sold himself to other places, not only would his father and son not be able to see each other, but his treatment would only be better than that of pigs and dogs. A slave who sleeps with domestic animals at night, the idea of ​​marriage is simply a luxury. "Teacher Fan, when I get married next year, I will hold a Bermuda wedding!"

The second girl of the Ge family learned from her sister that she would have the same wedding as her sister in the future, she couldn't help smiling.

"Don't worry, Da Zhuang will be like your brother-in-law in the future and will not have concubines." Fan Jin's wife pursed her lips and smiled. After three days of marriage, her face became more radiant, exuding a sense of satisfaction.

"But when you become strong, what should you do if you change your mind and want to take a concubine?" Ge Erniu suddenly thought of this question.

"Then make peace with him!" Ge Da Niu was very angry. "There are regulations on marriage in Bermuda. Breach of the contract is the wrong party. The wife can file a divorce. After the divorce, the family property can be divided."

"Bermuda is so nice!" Ge Erniu envied.

"With the Patriarch here, this is Bermuda." Ge Daniu had admiration for the two Patriarchs in her eyes.

"Yes, our patriarchs are like gods and men in the sky." Ge Erniu lived to fifteen years, and has never seen anyone more beautiful than the two patriarchs, let alone a nobleman who is more benevolent and capable than the two patriarchs.

On New Year's Eve, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui worshiped their ancestors in the hall of the villa.Regarding his parents, Zheng Yuming didn't know how to determine their life and death.According to Zheng Yuming's imagination, his parents should be living like him, living in another parallel dimension.But in this time and space, parents can only be regarded as future generations.Zheng Yuming and his parents are separated by yin and yang, but they still cannot be regarded as passing away.The ancestral tablets enshrined by Zheng Yuming can only generally say the ancestors of the Zheng family.

The ancestral tablets of the Zheng and Chu families are placed side by side, and the memorial ceremony is carried out at the same time. According to Chu Chaohui's intention, the two of them have already depended on each other in this time and space, regardless of you and me, and they are like brothers. The sacrifices are made, anyway, going back, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, descended from a common ancestor.

Daqin had no gunpowder, and without gunpowder, there would be no firecrackers. Without firecrackers, New Year's Eve seemed a bit deserted. Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui stayed in their respective rooms until midnight to rest.

On the first day of the new year, the door of the villa opened early.Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui took their three children and received the New Year's greetings from the slaves in the courtyard in dark clothes.Fortunately, the New Year's money only appeared in the Han Dynasty. Zheng and Chu didn't need to distribute red envelopes for the New Year, which saved a small amount of money.

The slaves had almost finished their New Year's greetings, so Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui took the Huo family brothers and sisters and Wei Qing to the Nanbu Governor's Mansion, where the two of them would accept the villagers' New Year's greetings, and that night, they would live in Nanbu, The next day, I will arrive in the city to pay New Year greetings to Ulsan-kun.

Wei Qing is 14 years old, Huo Sizhong is [-] years old, and Huo Sihua is [-] years old.The three children entered the valley, and their living conditions changed drastically.All three of them gained weight and grew taller.Wei Qing has grown the fastest, and now he is a head taller than when he entered the valley.Huo Sihua's height and speed are not as fast as Wei Qing's, but he is also the height of this normal child in time and space.Huo Sihua looks like he is eight or nine years old.

As soon as the living conditions were good, her face became rosy and looked good, she wore a beautiful deep jacquard jacket and leather cotton boots on her feet.The three children don't look like vagrants, they look like the children of your family.

There are more villagers than slaves, and it was not until noon that the villagers who came to the governor's mansion to pay New Year's greetings came to an end.Zheng and Chu held a banquet in the governor's mansion, entertaining the Wu family, the head of the Wu clan, the two villagers who taught in the ancestral hall, the managers of various factories and workshops, and Tuo Xiong, the patriarch of the Eagle Tribe who came by boat to pay New Year's greetings, and his son Tuo Su and daughter Tuoqing.

Eagle Tribe had a great year.Tuoxiong and his son, following the teachings of Zheng and Chu, went to the surrounding small tribes to lobby, and exchanged food for a lot of cheap labor to help the Eagle tribe mine.Tuosu led the warriors of the tribe to follow behind his father to threaten them with force. If anyone refused to trade food for labor, Tuosu used the weapon in his hand to get them to agree.

Most of the small tribes are hard to get hungry, and they basically welcome this kind of deal that can solve their food and clothing problems. Those who don't welcome it have to weigh whether they have the strength to fight against the big tribe of the eagle.

The Eagle Tribe has more manpower and better mining tools, and its monthly iron ore output has increased by six or seven times.The price of iron ore was raised again by Zheng Yuming.The Eagle tribe exchanged iron ore for enough food, daily necessities, and Nanbu cloth in Nanbu.After the beginning of spring, the Eagle Tribe is going to Nanbu to buy bricks and tiles to build a tribal sacrificial temple. The dilapidated sacrificial place will become a tall and beautiful brick house in the future.Tuoxiong plans to refer to the house style of the Nanbu shop for the house pattern of the sacrificial temple. In his eyes, a two-story building means tall.

Because it was winter, it was too cold to eat fried vegetables, so the banquet was held in the form of hot pot, and four or five people used one hot pot. A total of five hot pots were set up in the hall of the Governor's Mansion.Zheng and Chu share one, Wu Da and Nanbu Villagers share one, factory and workshop supervisors share one, Tuoxiong's family uses one, and Wei Qing, Huo's siblings and Wu's wife Wu Feng use one.

The hot pot uses a lot of seasoning, and the dishes cooked in the hot pot soup taste good, and the hot pot is steaming, and everyone in the hall starts to sweat halfway through eating.

Wu Da's family has enjoyed hot pot in the Governor's Mansion, and they admire this new way of eating.It was the first time for other people in Nanbu Village to meet Tuoxiong's family.From not daring to move chopsticks at the beginning, to throwing my arms and eating.The hotter you eat, the cooler you eat.Especially the Tuoxiong family, who have always been primitive in eating and drinking, this delicious hot pot immediately fascinated them.

"You two governors! Please enjoy a hot pot from the Eagle Clan. After the Eagle Clan eats such delicacies, mining will be more powerful!" After the banquet, Tuoxiong belched and made a request when he was leaving.

"En! Since the warriors of the Eagle Tribe like hot pot, let's take two sets of hot pot utensils back." Chu Chaohui smiled. He likes the Eagle Tribe's pursuit of life. mine.

"The Eagle Tribe wants to buy that kind of big rice from Nanbu. Please allow it from the two governors." Tuosu transported the mine to the valley and ate the rice in the valley. The rice was fragrant and delicious, much better than corn. .The food that the Eagle Tribe eats is obtained from Nanbu. They want to buy that kind of rice, but they can’t find it. The villagers don’t sell it, and the shops that supply their food are out of stock.

"There is not much of this kind of rice, and I can supply some specially for you in the future." Zheng Yuming nodded and agreed. The grain store in Nanbu was opened by the governor's office. The grain purchased from neighboring countries was stored in the valley, and the rest was sold in the store. , to ensure the food supply in Nanbu area.Otherwise, the Guangying tribe would not be involved in agriculture, and Nanbu would not be able to supply the food a tribe needed. Once there was a shortage of food, it would cause the price of food in Dacheng to rise, causing all kinds of unnecessary troubles.

It took a long time to eat a hot pot meal. After seeing off the guests, it was already dark, and the people in the governor's office were getting ready to rest.

When Zheng Yuming planned the drawings of the governor's mansion, he mainly used office functions, and there were not many bedrooms. He only prepared two master bedrooms and a study room. In addition to him and Chu Chaohui, Wei Qing and the Huo family brothers and sisters will also be there tonight. live here.Wei Qing and Huo Sizhong lived in the study room, the study room was Huo Sizhong's usual place, one bedroom was for the little girl Huo Sihua to rest, and Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui shared a bedroom.

It was just getting dark, and it was too early for the two travelers to go to bed at this hour.

"The two of us have some more rice wine." Chu Chaohui took the altar of rice wine into the room, and ordered the slaves to bring some side dishes to the bedroom, as if tasting wine with Zheng Yuming on a snowy night.

"Is this rice wine delicious?" The rice wine in the Governor's Mansion is made of glutinous rice. It is a secret recipe contributed by Chu Chaohui. Chu Zhaohui's father's hometown must make a kind of rice wine at the end of the year.

"Time is enough, this wine should be drunk at this time." Chu Zhaohui took two porcelain bowls with a smile, and put one in front of each of them.

"It tastes good!" Zheng Yuming took a sip, it was very sweet and mellow, better than green wine.

"In my father's hometown, the grandparents there used this kind of wine for wedding receptions."

"My grandfather can also make rice wine, but he mixes it with white wine, and the taste of the wine is stronger than this." That kind of rice wine gives people the feeling of wine, not like the one made by Chu Chaohui, it is similar to sweet fruit juice.

"Drink more if it tastes good." Chu Zhaohui narrowed his eyes even more.

"If you want to get drunk with this kind of wine, how many pots do you have to drink?" Zheng Yuming raised his head and drank half a bowl. The rice wine entered his stomach, and a feeling of warmth rose from his lower abdomen.

"Try it and see how much you can get drunk." Chu Zhaohui didn't gulp like Zheng Yuming, but savored carefully.

"I think this wine is just like low-alcohol beer. It won't make you intoxicated, but it will only make you go to the bathroom non-stop." Zheng Yuming shrugged.

Zheng Yuming blatantly said that this rice wine is not low-alcohol beer, it doesn't just make you go to the toilet non-stop, but it makes you drunk like a dream, and have a vivid dream.
