The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

Of course, there is no such thing as a marriage letter in the Western Han Dynasty. I often read the short paragraph of the agreement carefully. Although I think it is well written, I still don’t understand what the little highness is doing for showing him this at this time, until Xia Anran pokes at the lower right corner. It was only then that the witnesses suddenly realized.He tasted the meaning of the above, and felt that the young highness's idea was quite interesting, so he laughed, and took out his private seal very readily.

Immediately Xia Anran left a private seal under her name, and asked Dou Wan to put a seal on it, and finally turned her own seal, and also got the seal of King Zhongshan at the certificate issuing office.

He picked up the marriage certificate, looked at it, and handed it to Dou Wan, with joy in his eyes: "Zhongshan Country's "New Marriage Law" will be promulgated tomorrow, and those who get divorced in the future need to carry the marriage certificate. Now the marriage certificate will be kept by you. .”

Dou Wan was startled, the little king had never told him about this matter before, it was a sudden gift on the day of the evening ceremony.

He held the scroll with wet ink pad, and his eyes lingered on the names of the two juxtaposed.Dou Wan's name was written by Xia Anran, he didn't want to use Dou Wan's pseudonym, so he used his characters.

Since then, the name of Dou Junxu has always been on Liu Sheng's side.

His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly understood what Xia Anran meant.This book is the only way to dissolve the marriage relationship, and his Highness handed over this "Marriage Letter" to him. This move, the meaning of this move is naturally... Dou Wan's fingertips tense.

When to start is up to me, and when to end is up to you.

——His Highness seemed to say so.

But how could he be willing?

The connection with his highness was obtained through all kinds of hard work, and this paper marriage was obtained through all kinds of calculations. His highness is so good, how could he be willing to give up?

Dou Wan slowly bundled up the scroll and stuffed it into his spacious sleeve, then he said with a smile to the little highness who was watching him closely: "Wan only regrets that he doesn't have the power of a thousand junctures."

"Ok?"

Dou Wan quietly looked at His Highness who tilted his head slightly to look at him in doubt, lowered his eyes slightly, and smiled slightly, "If Wan has such strength, he will definitely hold up Taihang Mountain and put it on top of this marriage book."

Suddenly, what are you saying all of a sudden!

Xia Anran turned her head suddenly, her ears blushed slightly, but after a while he turned her head back quietly and said: "You, you should keep it carefully, don't damage it, this is the first marriage letter in the world."

Marriage books are numbered, and he postponed this system just to get the first number, and now thinking about it, he is still a little cautious.He pursed his lips, but still couldn't help but said: "Save it, let it be buried with us when the time comes."

Dou Wan slowly, slowly took a breath, his eyes darkened, he raised his hand to hold Xia Anran's hand, "Your Highness, Wan only regrets that the sky is getting darker slowly."

Can it be better? !Is it because the herbal tea is not enough!Why is my mind full of such adolescent thoughts!

Xia Anran turned her head and didn't want to say anything now, and before he had time to say it, the praisers had already come to offer incense.Although the faint rituals of the Qin and Han Dynasties were more relaxed and joyful than those of later generations, they also had a sense of solemnity at this time.

The location of the evening ceremony is also chosen in the family temple.Now they are standing in front of the spirit tablet of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Liu family.

Xia Anran took Dou Wan's hand, and both of them worshiped on the futon, worshiped three times together, and they put the sacrificial incense into the incense burner.

Recorded in the genealogy and worshiped the ancestors, according to the etiquette, the two of them are already legally married, but this time Xia Anran specially asked for an additional ceremony

"Bow to heaven and earth and thank heaven—"

The sun was setting, and the red candles were flickering. The two people in gorgeous clothes rose and worshiped three times in the direction of the sunrise.

Thanks to the gods of heaven and earth, flowers, birds, fish and insects, they can meet at the most correct time and place, and go hand in hand along the way, and finally it will happen naturally.

"Second thanks to Gao Tang for your upbringing——"

The two turned around, facing the direction of Chang'an City, and fell to the ground with the singing of praise.

I am grateful to my parents for giving me life, and for raising the two of them. I also thank every kindness and preacher who appeared in each other's life. The person he loves is what he is now.

"Three salutes, husband and wife respect and thank each other—"

Xia Anran turned around, looked at Dou Wan's soft eyes, the two looked at each other and smiled, and fell to the ground.

For all the reasons for husband and wife, the marriage in the previous three lives will only match the husband and wife of this life.

The ceremony of worship is that Gain and his wife are equal, support each other and respect each other, thank each other for their kindness, respect each other for their efforts, respect and love each other, and thank each other.

The two stood up again, bowed slightly to the guests to thank them, and everyone entered the banquet together.

At this time, all the guests are sitting alone, only the couple sitting in front of a table. The waiter comes with beans, lifts the lid, and inside is a bowl of minced meat.The praisers sang: "Perform the ceremony of the same prison, the new son-in-law and the new wife invite all the kings to have fun--"

The guests in the audience toasted to thank, Xia Anran and Dou Wan shared the minced meat.As soon as he entered the mouth, the little king's expression twitched. The combination of sweet, sour, bitter and salty in a bowl of soup made it difficult for the chef.He glanced at Dou Wan, who did not change his face, eating the meat soup spoonful by spoonful, seeing that he was eating faster and faster, Xia Anran did not hesitate to share this bowl of soup that was not really delicious, And snatched the last bite from Dou Wan's spoon.

Afterwards, the two ate auspicious foods such as corn, lotus root, and jujube, which represented abundance of food, and made themselves three full, and the waiter served wine.

Xia Anran took the cup made of halved gourds, and handed the other half to Dou Wan. The gourd-shaped wine container contained clear wine, and the two looked at each other, respecting each other and drinking together.

The wine in the mouth is sweet and sweet, but the cup itself is made of a plant called bitter gourd, and the melon pulp has not been scraped clean, so one can imagine how it tastes in the mouth.Xia Anran only took a sip before taking a small breath, the bitter and astringent taste filled his entire mouth, he pursed his lips, and was about to drink again but was taken by Dou Wan, the two exchanged the papaya, Let's drink again.

Then he was surprised to find that there was only a slight trace of alcohol in the papaya handed by Dou Wan, and he was in a complicated state of mind for a moment, when he raised his eyes, he saw Dou Wan's gentle eyes.Both of them like to eat, and Dou Wan is more fond of sweet than bitter, but at this moment, Dou Wan drank most of his wine, just to let him drink less bitter wine.

Xia Anran only felt that his heart was hot, he raised his head and poured all the liquid into his throat.The wine exploded in his body with a sense of happiness, and a small blush immediately appeared on his cheeks.

The ceremony coordinator put the two people's 卺 together to form a gourd, tied it tightly with red silk and put it in a brocade box.

The praiser said: "Eat in the same prison, and taste the five flavors together. Since then, the sour, sweet, bitter, pungent, and salty have never been separated from each other, and they will stay together for life."

"Together with wine, sweet and bitter, since then the two have shared joys and sorrows, connected with each other, and come back together through wind and rain."

"Forever a hundred years."

"Licheng-"

Xia Anran quietly stretched out her hand to hold Dou Wan's, and the two held their hands tightly under the wide sleeves. ?

"Jingxi." Xia Anran looked sideways at the sound, and heard Dou Wan say softly, "For the rest of my life, so will Wan."

Xia Anran pursed her lips and smiled, he knew that this was Dou Wan's answer to the love letter he sent this morning.

He is not a person who can write love letters, but during the day, for some reason, a line of lyrics suddenly came to his mind, so he wrote their first love letter, passing the letter to the swan bird.

In that letter, he wrote: For the rest of his life, you will be the wind and snow, you will be the ordinary, you will be the poor, you will be the glory, you will be the gentleness in the heart, and you will be the one who looks at you.

And Dou Wan replied: I am the same.

There is nothing more satisfying than choosing what you love and loving what you choose.

The two left the ancestral temple hand in hand, and suddenly heard Qingyue's cry while walking.Everyone looked up, and saw the birds in the forest taking off together, hula la gathered together, except for the leading one, all of them were colorful and beautiful, and they were all hovering in the air under the leadership of a huge swan bird, not seeing each other for a long time. scattered.

It was Duoduo's wedding gift to them, so why didn't I see it until now.

Xia Anran chuckled, looked up at the geese flying gracefully in the air and said, "Did you know that Duoduo had a big temper when he was hired?"

Dou Wan withdrew his gaze and looked at him intently. The more Xia Anran thought about it, the happier he was, "Because it thought it looked down on me for using a wild goose instead of a swan when it was hired, so it ignored me for three days. But if I used a swan Bird, I'm afraid he'll be angry again because he wasn't chosen, how could I be willing to keep him in a cage, you little heartless."

Hearing this, Dou Wan smiled lightly, he walked forward holding His Highness's hand, listening to His Highness's rambling words beside him, he felt very satisfied.

The two walked side by side until they got into the carriage, the birds in the sky did not leave, Duoduo led the younger brothers and followed their carriage all the way to the palace.They were not walking fast, because as they moved forward slowly, the citizens outside the ancestral temple surrounded them.The onlookers were smiling, trying to see the face of His Royal Highness's daughter-in-law clearly despite being blocked by the soldiers. After seeing Dou Wan's face, they all praised the Queen's good looks, and then every sentence of congratulations was like a blessing from the sky. The ginkgo leaves fell lightly into the little king's heart, and it became soft and sweet like a ball of sweet cake rolling around, which made him unable to stop smiling.

Seeing that these people were attracted by the gentlemen who picked up the candy box and sprinkled wedding candies, he suddenly leaned over and kissed Dou Wan on the cheek.The young man's eyes sparkled, and he said to Dou Wan: "Ah Wan, do you know why I chose to get married in autumn?"

"Wan don't know." Dou Wan also had a smile on his face, he looked sideways at his little highness, and then he heard his highness say the most beautiful promise in his life.

"Because I want to have a golden wedding with you."

One year is paper and five years is wood, but I am not satisfied with these. I want to live a golden wedding for 50 years.

"Love is like gold, it lasts forever." Xia Anran squeezed his hand, "Ah Wan, you must accompany me to the end."

"it is good."

"Can't leave sooner than me."

"it is good."

"In the next life, in the next life, you will have to wait for me."

"it is good."

Xia Anran blinked, blinking away the slight soreness in his eyes, he squeezed Dou Wan's hand tightly, "It's agreed, we, neither of us will let go first."

"it is good."

Chinese-style marriages are simple and solemn, with a strong sense of ritual, but this does not mean that there is no humanity.

For example, the custom of making bridal chambers was formed in the Han Dynasty.

Xia Anran met the strongest bridal chamber army in history.If someone doesn't believe it, let them invite a stronger lineup than Emperor Wu of Han.

He squinted at his younger brother who was hiding outside and poked a hole with his finger to look in. How could Liu Xiaozhu have the confidence to think that he would be so blind that he couldn't see such a big hole in the paper window!Especially when a few children were shouting outside and pushing each other to snatch this precious little hole.

He sighed helplessly, and glanced at Dou Wan who had finished removing his make-up, the latter raised his eyebrows when he saw him like this, and said silently, "Do you want Wan to make a move?"

Farewell, big married.

Xia Anran said something that was in the minds of countless newcomers, then he tiptoed to the window and suddenly opened it, and then rushed outside with a "wow -", successfully startled several children screaming again and again.

"What are you doing?" He leaned on the window frame and looked at his younger brother who was lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment. "You want to have a bridal chamber? Huh?"

Liu Che pursed his lips in joy, but his eyes flicked to the room again and again, "Brother, I came to see my sister-in-law, and I was far away and didn't look carefully just now."

Hehe, I believe you are the one to blame, you are very bad.Xia Anran pointed to her younger brother from the air, "If you are curious, brother can also dress you like this."

Liu Che thought about it for a while, his expression shifted, and then his focus fell on his little companion, pointing to the handsome and beautiful Han Yan, and said, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to, but look at me The appearance is not up to standard, why don't you ask Ah Yan to change into a female dress. Ah Yan, look, today is the royal brother's wedding?"

"It's none of my business!" Han Yan jumped up immediately, he just came to join in the fun, why is he going to be disguised as a woman all of a sudden?Didn't they come to make trouble in the bridal chamber?How did the topic change so quickly?

Wei Qing and the others didn't approve of making trouble in the bridal chamber, but Liu Che was determined to do so. They couldn't stop them. They had been worried that Zhongshan King would be angry. Now when they saw that His Highness had changed his partner, they made a fuss, which changed Liu Che's original three-point interest to eight-point interest.

The main reason is that Han Yan is too cooperative, that unwilling little appearance makes people want to force him to do something.

sorry!brother.

Zhang Qian and Wei Qing worked together to hold back Han Yan who turned around and wanted to run away. It wasn't that they wanted to betray their brothers, but His Royal Highness King Zhongshan held the right to assign homework after all. But Zensheng is good?At that time, His Highness can use His Majesty as an excuse, but they cannot.

Li Danghu was also here to join in the fun, but he joined in as soon as he saw his brother-in-law making a fuss here.Xia Anran grinned and leaned on the window frame, watching the back of the group of people leaving, and seeing Wei Qing walking and looking this way, he could not help but give the other party a good job gesture.

"When did Your Highness make an agreement with Ah Qing?" Dou Wan did not know when he came behind him, and naturally saw this scene.

Xia Anran pursed her lips and laughed, "I didn't say it, but Ah Qing is smart."

He looked back happily, "As expected of a child bred by our Zhongshan country, he is clever."

Dou Wan leaned forward, "Wan also thinks so."

Xia Anran was suddenly approached, and felt that even the thin autumn dress couldn't block the warmth coming from behind, he was taken aback, and smiled: "Are you in heat, or are you just being polite?"

Dou Wan's voice was slightly hoarse: "Your Highness, today, Wan must abide by the etiquette."

The last ray of light in the sky has completely faded, and Xia Anran tore a piece of paper to patch up the small hole that was dug just now. There are only a pair of candles in the room, and the only light is tentatively moving forward in the room. It's a pity that they Being isolated from the curtain, although I am extremely curious about why there are all kinds of sounds coming from there, I can't always enter.

A gust of autumn wind blew up outside the house, and a ginkgo leaf that had been basking in the thin moonlight rolled around in the air, and finally fell quietly into the pool.A swan was sleeping peacefully in this pond. He seemed to be sleeping a little unsteadily. He was awakened by the quiet sound, blinked his peasy eyes, and saw a bright moon in the pond suddenly became angry, and spread his wings to beat the water surface to disturb the disturbance. A pool is quiet.

Mingyue was not annoyed at all, and came quietly after the swan closed its wings, and accompanied him to sleep again.

Autumn colors are just right.

Under the same sky, a group of people on the west side of the Great Han Kingdom were walking eastward under the moonlight in embarrassment. The leader was holding a wooden stick. Suddenly they stopped, and in front of them was Yaoyao who looked even more beautiful in the night. It is the majestic Great Wall and the city gate.

When they saw the dots of moving light on the Great Wall, they finally couldn't help cheering, and the leader couldn't afford to kneel.

This group of people was the Han envoys who passed through the right sphere of influence of the Xiongnu and wanted to contact the Yuezhi tribe to attack the Xiongnu.

His journey has not been smooth.

At that time, after pretending to be a caravan, it went smoothly at the beginning, but I didn't expect them to be detained by the right side of the Huns. The people on the right side were very curious about their products and they were enthusiastic about him, but all this ended when he proposed to go to the caravan. Look west.

Compared with the left side, the right side paid more attention to business exchanges. They clearly knew that no Han Chinese should be allowed to cross this line, and no businessman from the Western Regions should be allowed to pass through.Because only between the Western Regions and the Han Kingdom can they gain the greatest benefit.

The role of merchants played by Han envoys also became less important after the right-hand household was appointed as the envoy of this year.The Han envoys could only stay here cautiously, on the pretext that they wanted to wait for the grasslands to produce animal skins in autumn before going back to sell them in winter, so they did not enter Han with the Xiongnu envoys.

But even though this excuse was not bad, some people looked at him with vigilant eyes, so Han Envoy and his party were detained.They rummaged through the merchandise these men were carrying, and found the envoys.

Due to the increasingly frequent contacts of Tuo Hanxiong, the existence of the envoy did not make the Huns feel strange, and they quickly realized his true purpose.

The envoys of the Han Dynasty were arrested, and the reason why they were not dealt with was entirely because King Youxian was waiting for his household to return to the Huns. They planned to send the envoys to the king's account if the result of this envoy was not good. Let the military minister Chanyu use him to reprimand the Han Dynasty.Unexpectedly, when Youbu came back, he praised the big man and brought back a lot of grain and products. King Youxian thought about the significance of this trade port to Youbu, and planned to send him back to Chang'an at that time. In order to coerce Chang'an to open the trade port in the west.

But this plan failed. Since then, the situation in the grassland was broken by the rage of the military minister Shan Yu. Intending to go to the wintering land without keeping him in the cage again.

In this escape, the Han envoys only rescued three envoys.The three of them seized their horses and fled westward all the way, only daring to travel at night, wherever it was difficult to go, they thirsted and drank night dew, hungry and ate insects and scorpions all the way.

When the cavalrymen of the Da Yuezhi found them, they did not believe that they were the envoys of the Han Dynasty, even if they saw the envoys presented by the Han envoys.

Fortunately, there are descendants of Han people in the Da Yuezhi tribe, which proves that they did come from the east.However, the Da Yuezhi did not believe that the weak Han country could unite with them to attack the mighty Xiongnu. In their memory, the Da Han was still that useless country trapped in Baideng Mountain despite having several times its troops.Although they know that the big man has silk cloth, it is not only owned by the big man. Even if the silk cloth has become more beautiful in recent years, it does not prove anything.

porcelain?That doesn't mean anything either.

If they want to unite, they naturally need to look at the overall strength of the big man, how many soldiers, how many armors, and how many horses they have, instead of listening to how exquisite cloth and shiny porcelain they have, none of them can defeat the Xiongnu .

Everything on the envoy was confiscated, even the clothes, shoes and socks were Huns' clothes. Naturally, he couldn't produce anything that could prove the strength of the big man.

So the envoy and his followers took off their shirts in the icy and snowy field, and in the whiteness, the Dayue people saw the unbroken and prosperous scenery of Chang'an on their bodies.

They tattooed the scene of Chang'an on their bodies.

Not only the envoys, every envoy has a part, this is their last confidence, unless someone cuts off their flesh, otherwise they can show every country the magnificence of Chang'an City.Moreover, the Chang'an on their backs and the home on their backs reminded them of their own mission.Before their trip, they agreed that as long as one person could reach Da Yuezhi alive, they would all complete this mission.

The members of the Da Yue Clan were astonished. They gathered to look at the patterns on the men's bodies. On the one hand, they were amazed by the magnificence of Chang'an City, and on the other hand, they were deeply moved by the actions of the envoys.

Tattoos are also available in their tribe, so they are very aware of what kind of sore it is.

And looking at the patterns on these messengers, they are all ink marks left after cutting the skin with a blade. Such a man deserves their respect no matter which country he belongs to or why he came here.

The Han envoy regretted that, in fact, if all of them were together, the pattern would be more magnificent.

Before receiving this mission, they gathered together to think that this trip would pass through the sphere of influence of the Huns to reach the unknown west. It is impossible to bypass the Huns. They must be prepared to be caught by the Huns. How to escape and how to prove your identity after escaping is a problem.

At that time, a person was walking on the street and was inspired by a tattooed person. When he came back, he said that he could engrave the waiter on his body. Later, it developed into a map. Unfortunately, the time for their departure was too tight, and only 20 people completed it without any sequelae. , there were only three of them when they arrived.

King Da Yuezhi sent people to bring fine wine and food to entertain these envoys from the far east.Although they don't know much about the big man, they think that the soil and water that can raise such a hero must be extremely powerful.

Such a country is enough to gain their respect.

However, King Da Yuezhi hesitated about uniting the great Han to resist the Xiongnu. He told the envoy frankly that after experiencing the catastrophe more than 30 years ago, the Yuezhi had resisted several times and tried to regain their territory, but the Huns were too powerful. Moreover, the Yuezhi tribe also encountered the joint suppression of the Wusun tribe, so the power of the Yuezhi tribe was seriously injured, and more than 30% of the population was killed or injured. At that time, he decided to move westward and try to develop. Now that [-] years have passed, he has been thinking about regaining his lost land all the time. , Kill the Wusun people who occupied their land, and take back the skull of the former king so that he can rest in peace.

But their enemies were not just the Huns.

King Da Yuezhi drew a map of the west for the envoy, and shared what he knew about the distribution of tribes in the Western Regions with the Han, and told the Han envoy that as far as he knew, the nomadic tribes around the Han were almost all Huns. , then the only way is to fight all the way back.

This is not an easy task. They rested for 30 years, but so did Wusun and the Huns. They were happy to cooperate with the Han people, but the number of the Yuezhi was not large, so they could only play a supporting role. The main attack could only be handed over to the Han army. .

In order to express their sincerity, King Da Yuezhi sent the envoy a hundred strong horses and sent tribal warriors to escort them back to the east. He recommended the Qiang people at the southern foot of the Great River to the envoy.The relationship between the Yuezhi and the Qiang people is good, mainly because the two parties have no interests involved. The place where the Qiang people live is on the high mountains, while the Yuezhi people live on the grasslands.

When the Yuezhi moved westward, they left some people behind. These people were accepted by the Qiang people. He could write introduction documents for the envoys. Although the two tribes were separated, they were of the same blood. So is Shi.

Compared with the Great Yue clan separated by Wusun, the Xiao Yue clan is more convenient to move around, and the Qiang people are good at raising horses and sheep. "Their horses are very, very good at running." Da Yuezhi Wang Wei Han introduced, but he then added another sentence. "Although the speed is still ours."

The Han envoy, who carried the plant seeds and horses generously donated by the King of the Dayuezhi, got on his horse. Under the leadership of the Dayuezhi guide, he climbed up the plateau, returned to the Han through the sphere of influence of the Qiang people, and tried to encourage the Qiang people and Together they attacked the Huns in the north.

Sitting on the horse, the Han envoy clasped his fists at the Da Yueshi King who personally sent him off, "I am very much looking forward to seeing you again, you are a great king."

King Dayue returned the salute with the etiquette of his own tribe, "I am also very much looking forward to seeing you again, great envoy of the Han Kingdom."

"Next time if I come on an envoy again, I will bring you our big man's fine wine." The messenger said with a smile, "At that time, I must compare our drinking capacity with you. It's sweeter and more intense."

Hearing this, the man stroked his beard proudly, "Then I will wait for you to come back. Although our friendship is precious, I will not back down when it comes to wine. As long as my Da Yueshi's fine wine is on horseback Everyone knows that our wine is the sweetest."

Both parties pay tribute to each other for this wonderful friendship.

After leaving with the friendship of King Dayuezhi, the Han envoy met the leader of the Qiang tribe under the recommendation of the Dayuezhi people, but unfortunately, the Qiang tribe did not have much dislike for the Huns, and the towering mountains saved them from being raped. The Huns plundered.They were not victims of the Huns' iron cavalry, and they did not live in contact with the Huns. The Qiang people, who boasted that the Huns' horses would not reach high mountains, felt that they did not need to go through this muddy water.

Moreover, compared with the Xiongnu, the predecessor of the Han nationality, Daqin, was the chief culprit who forced them to move westward.Although the Great Qin has been destroyed, their feelings towards the people of the Great Han are still complicated from their standpoint.

After discussion, the Qiang tribe told the Han envoy that the Qiang tribe would be happy to sell their horses to the big man because of the herbal medicine promised by the Han envoy, and they also sold their salt to the big man.The Qiang people, who are backed by the vast saltwater lake, are very confident in the quality and taste of the salt, but the Han people are required to come and purchase it themselves, and they are not responsible for the delivery.

In front of the envoy, the leader of the Qiang tribe said that they would not lean towards any side, and would not help the big Han send troops, nor would they help the Huns, and they did not want to interfere with the Yuezhi people in the tribe.

How to resolve the hatred between tribes can only be decided by the parties themselves.

In the end, more than 40 Yuezhi people were willing to follow the Han envoy back to Chang'an.In addition, there are more than a dozen young Qiang people who are very curious about the big man mentioned by the messenger and want to follow him to have a look.The leader of the Qiang nationality did not stop these people. He even allowed these people to take away his property, and the group traveled eastward.

Young Qiang people led this team of envoys around the places where the Huns were haunted. It was not a big problem to reach Chang'an safely.

However, what they didn't expect was that they encountered civil strife among the Huns, and the originally safe route became full of obstacles.Along the way, this team collided with the Xiongnu tribe and kept reducing staff, and was even hunted down by the Huns who were sensitive to their identities.In the end, when they arrived in Chang'an, the three envoys who were traveling together...... only one person remained.

But now, he handed over his bruised and bruised envoy to Liu Qi again. This man who had only been away for three years but seemed to be 30 years old could not kneel down in front of the emperor, "I have lived up to my mission."

The author has something to say:

My son is finally married! !Showing the kind smile of the old mother.Tell me loudly if it's sweet or not!

Dou Wan is now wearing women's clothing, but men's wedding clothing in the Western Han Dynasty is more fancy than women's clothing, so... ahem.

It was not until the Southern and Northern Dynasties that couples worshiped each other. Strictly speaking, there were only the first two rites before, that is, worshiping heaven and earth and worshiping parents and ancestors. The worship of husband and wife was an epoch-making symbolic meaning at that time, but it is no longer known who started it up.

We all know that whoever prays lower has a lower status, and a husband and wife are not eligible to pray to each other, because the wife is an appendage of the husband, and praying to each other means that we are equal.

(It's like the ancient scholars who bowed to each other almost at the same time when they met, but when the subordinates saw the superiors, the subordinates would first bow to the superiors and return the salute)

In the past, if there was a prayer between husband and wife, the woman would pray first, then the man, and then the man would pray first, and the woman would pray next.But in the later dynasties, if the two sides were not particularly disparate in status (such as the royal family), they basically worshiped together. (Waiting is the kind of kneeling down, not bowing)

So this is the difference between wives and concubines, and concubines are not qualified to sit on an equal footing with the male master.The wife is actually equal to the husband in terms of etiquette and status.

Therefore, the status of contemporary women can also be seen from the changes in etiquette, and now when husband and wife worship each other, you can find that women worship higher than men. (Of course this is also because the jewels on the head are easy to fall off) But this is also a change.If an era tells you that you are not as good as a man, and you will be scolded, pointed at, or even divorced if you dare to be rude, then even if your head is full of tofu, you will find a way to lower your head.

From this point of view, I really want to thank Grandpa Mao for giving women the right to study and work.Of course, gender discrimination is unavoidable in modern society, but the feudal society has been in existence for thousands of years, and it took us 70 years to get here. It is already very good, and it will get better and better in the future.

Uh... let's talk about the locusts.The day before yesterday, someone asked why I didn't eat this time...

The author wiped his sweat silently, because it is fast...ah no, it is slow, so I try not to let the same method appear in the world many times. (rubbing hands) This is fresher.

Locusts are quite troublesome if you want to eat them, although they are delicious...

However, the Three Kingdoms is different from the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, the Three Kingdoms was really about to run out of ammunition and food. The fast-expanding old Cao Jiabing brother almost made Xia Miao and Xun Lingjun poor. In addition, the grain harvest was in short supply. In fact, there was no way out.

On the other hand, there is also a somewhat miserable feeling. When the people under Cao Cao saw that Brother Bing didn’t eat food and locusts, Emma’s tears were moved. Wasn’t the little emperor also moved (hey, don’t tell me about this. Reader!)

Moreover, the Eastern Han Dynasty was a small glacial river with continuous drought, so locust plagues were one after another. After developing this habit, you can save a lot of trouble, but the weather in the Western Han Dynasty was normal, that is, droughts and floods alternated (in fact, it is not normal), this kind of climate It is not easy for locust plagues to occur, and it basically maintains the normal rule of once every 8/9 years, so there is no need for people to develop this habit.

Moreover, the people of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty were rich, and the people would not eat this kind of food if they were not forced to do so when the food was abundant.

Of course, there is one more important reason - Zhongshan has a lot of poultry.

Raising chickens and ducks, in fact, modern people may not feel it, but in fact, raising poultry consumes a lot of feed, regardless of whether it is free-range. In the case of intensive breeding, the food consumption is extremely huge. Generally, a chicken farm consumes several tons of feed every day. Invest, so it's not that rich dynasties can't afford it.

For example, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xia Miao couldn't afford to raise them. Without eggs as a source of protein, he could only use locusts, but now Xia Miao is a man rich in N chicken farms.

A little bit of meat for locusts... just feed the chickens, and save some food.People still eat eggs~

To put it simply, it's the difference between a big-bodied household and a small-timer.

Zhongshan Xiamiao waved her hand to say that I can make more money in the time it takes to peel a bite of flying shrimp!

Xia Miao of the Three Kingdoms is: What is time?Does having meat matter?No matter how troublesome it is, as long as you can eat it!

Ah, it's 7/1 today

Silently insert a flag on the back.
