"Brother Bai, why don't you ride a horse instead of taking a leisurely ride in an ox cart?"
On the way to Deyang Town, a bullock cart moved forward slowly. Lan Xin sat on the edge of boredom and kicked her legs and said speechlessly.
Baiyang was not far from her, his head resting on the kitten's thigh, his legs crossed, and he was slowly flipping through a copy of Chen Dynasty's "Festival Encyclopedia" in his hand.
"We are not in a hurry, so why are we riding so fast? We can go slowly and enjoy the scenery along the way."
Bai Yang said without raising his eyelids.
I know how to ride a horse and see what you can get. One day, I will give you a whole off-road vehicle. If you have the ability, let me drive one and try it!
“What can we see along the way?”
Niu Huahua glanced around and curled her lips.
Ignoring them, Bai Yang continued to flip through the books in his hands.
To understand the customs and culture of a place, it is a good way to first understand their festivals, in which you can see their historical allusions, etiquette, humanistic customs, and even major historical events.
If you don't know, through the Chen Dynasty's festival encyclopedia, Bai Yang learned that there are thirty-six festivals worth paying attention to in this country from the 'Kaiyuan' to the 'End of the Yuan', and almost every 'hui' has one. Special days above.
These are just festivals that are believed by the whole country, and do not take into account the customs and customs of various places. If the customs and customs of various places are included, this number will increase geometrically!
Among these thirty-six festivals, some commemorate certain historical celebrities, some commemorate martial arts masters, and there are special solar terms activities...
For the Chen Dynasty, the most important festival is the 'Chen Festival', which is to celebrate the founding date of the Chen Dynasty. On this day, the whole people rejoice, wear the most solemn clothes, and cook the best meals to commemorate the first The king of the Chen Dynasty, so it is called "Ji Chen".
"The Chen Dynasty has existed for more than 500 years, which is more than 1,500 years on earth. It is long enough. No country on earth has ever existed for such a long time. The first king, Chen Shang, was super strong in martial arts. He rose from a humble age, led a hundred followers, and spent fifty yuan to conquer the huge territory of the Chen Dynasty. He hunted dragons, destroyed demons and barbarians, and conquered hundreds of miles with his fists. This was a humanoid killer weapon. Come on, martial arts experts are so terrifying!"
Bai Yang was shocked when he saw this paragraph.
There are several martial arts figures around him, but it is impossible to connect them with the fact that one punch can destroy everything within a hundred miles. However, Chen Shang, the first monarch in the history of the Chen Dynasty, was so powerful that he could destroy everything within a hundred miles. Ability!
"The most shocking thing is that this Chen Shang has been in office for more than 130 years, which is almost equivalent to nearly 400 years on earth! Is this immortality?"
When he saw Chen Rang's reign, Bai Yang was completely shocked. Can a person live for that long
But no matter how magnificent he is, he cannot stand the test of time. Now nearly four hundred yuan has passed on Chen Shang.
There are also several festivals that commemorate historical figures. For example, one of the "Que Plague" festivals commemorates a doctor in the history of the Chen Dynasty. It was three hundred yuan ago that a terrible plague broke out in the Chen Dynasty. , swept through one-third of the territory, and countless people died. A doctor named Li Yao appeared to save the people. This stabilized the turmoil of the Chen Dynasty, so a special festival has been passed down.
The more Bai Yang read this book, the more amazed he became. From beginning to end, it was like experiencing a bizarre time travel. The legendary characters and the thrilling events all shocked his soul.
Ouch ouch…
Just when Bai Yang was watching attentively, the little wolf cub that was having fun beside the bullock cart rushed forward and called eagerly.
"Did you raise this little wolf cub? If so, call him back. If not, I will kill him with one knife."
A voice said from the front.
Bai Yang looked up and saw that four officers were guarding a small intersection. One of them was holding his hand on the hilt of a knife at his waist and looking this way.
"The little guy is back"
Bai Yang first called back the wolf cub, then looked at them and said:
"I raised the little wolf cub, what are you guys doing?"
The man put down his hand on the handle of the knife, pointed in the direction behind him and said:
"The Lord Guard is taking people over there to check on the situation of the people. I'm afraid I might disturb her. Please forgive me."
Is the new guard a woman? After hearing what the other party said, Bai Yang blinked.
In the language of the Chen Dynasty, the pronunciation of he and she for men and women are completely different. Only Bai Yang knew that the so-called guard was a woman. Looking in the direction the other party pointed, he saw a figure a few hundred meters away. The woman in blue official uniform was in the field, surrounded by a group of people and a group of old farmers who were talking to each other.
Women can be officials. This is very common on the earth today, but it was rare in history. I didn't expect that in this world, I would meet a female official casually.
"I wonder what the Lord Guard is doing? If necessary, we can do our best."
Bai Yang took one look and smiled.
Officials who can personally go to the fields to discuss farming matters with old farmers can never be too bad no matter how bad they are, even if they are just showing off.
"The Lord Guard is just discussing with the farmers about harvesting crops, there is no need to bother you."
The man replied very politely. Of course, if Bai Yang and the others hadn't seen that they were not ordinary people, their attitude would have been completely different.
"Oh, that's okay, you're busy."
Bai Yang smiled and nodded, and then the group continued to move forward. He just said it politely and casually.
"I didn't expect the new guard to be a woman, and she seems to be a warrior!"
Niu Jian said dumbly beside the car.
“Are there more women serving as officials?”
Bai Yang asked.
"There are many women serving as officials. As far as I know, women accounted for nearly one-third of the officials in the Chen Dynasty. There have been four queens in history. But there is one thing. Married women cannot be officials. If they are If a woman who is an official wants to get married, she must resign. After all, when you marry, you obey your husband, and the husband is heaven. If you become an official again, you will not be able to deal with many things. As a woman, serving your husband is the most important thing."
Lan Shuang explained from the side.
Bai Yang was speechless. He didn't expect there to be such a rule here. He saw it again.
"Guys, wait a minute..."
They had gone less than a hundred meters when someone was chasing them. It turned out to be the person who had spoken before.
"What's matter?"
Bai Yang sat up straight and looked at the other person running over and asked.
"May I ask how many people are from the Lan family and the Niu family?"
The man asked with his hands raised.
"we are"
Lan Shuang nodded in reply.
"It turns out that it's a few young masters and ladies. I'm rude. That's it. The Lord Guard has already checked the people's situation and asked me to come over and ask you if you are returning to Deyang Town. If so, the Lord Guard hopes to go with you."
The man bowed slightly and said.
Bai Yang and others looked at each other, what did this new guard want to do
"Okay, we're fine anyway"
Bai Yang nodded. He was still very curious about women being officials, especially in this world. At the same time, he also wanted to meet the officials here. After all, he had never had any contact with them. The former guard Feng Wushou died after meeting him once. Already…
"Wait a moment, everyone, the guard is here."
The man bent slightly and walked aside.
As an official, you still need to have necessary etiquette. Bai Yang and others got off the bullock cart.
"Are they Lan Family, Lan Shuang, Lan Xin Niu Family, Niu Jianniu Huahua and Baiyang?"
More than ten meters away, the new guard, surrounded by people, walked over and asked with a smile.
This woman is wearing a blue official uniform, with a long sword hanging from her waist. Surprisingly, she is not very old. Bai Yang thinks that the woman is no more than thirty years old at most. Here, she is only ten yuan old. However, she looks ordinary. Kind face.
"We just met the Lord Guard."
Bai Yang and others nodded, slightly arched their hands and said.
"Don't be so polite. I have met the two seniors Lan Qingfeng and Niulanshan before. When I mentioned you, you are indeed the best among people. Let's go. Let's talk as we walk. Don't call me Lord Guard. I am better than you." If you are older, please call me Sister Hua. My name is Hua Sanniang."
The guard Hua Sanniang came over and said with a smile.
Bai Yang and others looked at each other, not understanding what the other party had in mind, but they all called her Sister Hua.
"Are you going to participate in the chef competition later?"
Hua Sanniang asked casually.
"Yes, is it the same for Sister Hua?"
Bai Yang nodded and said.
"Of course, I am also one of the judges. I have lived in the county for a long time. This time I came to Deyang Town to provide guidance on people's livelihood. When encountering such a thing, I naturally want to taste the delicacies of Deyang Town."
Hua Sanniang said casually.
Bai Yang secretly thought that this woman had such great communication skills, she seemed to be able to get along with anyone, she had no airs at all and was not annoying.
"Sister Hua, you're in for a treat. We have a lot of delicious food in Deyang Town, especially a few special dishes that you can't eat anywhere else."
Lan Xin laughed from the side.
"Of course, by the way, there are two things I want to remind you of. There is news from the county. Recently, there is an extremely vicious warrior strongman committing crimes everywhere, specializing in killing warriors. The Forbidden Martial Arts Hall is fully investigating this person, so Everyone, you need to be careful when you go out. You may not know when the other party will come to Deyang Town."
Hua Sanniang reminded with a serious look.
"Thank you, Sister Hua, for informing us. We will pay attention to it, but what is the second thing?"
Bai Yang nodded and asked.
"As for the second thing, it is a ridiculous thing. It is also because of a person. Well, girls should pay special attention to it."
When saying this, Hua Sanniang looked at Lanshuang Niuhuahua and the two girls.
"Sister Hua, what exactly is going on?"
Niuhuahua blinked and asked.
"Recently, a flower-picking thief appeared in Deyang Town!"
Hua Sanniang smiled.
"The flower-picking thief? Why do you think the other party is so ridiculous?"
Bai Yang asked puzzledly.
"Because this flower-picking thief is very special. Although he picks flowers, he does not destroy them. He sneaks into girls' boudoirs secretly. He does not harm people's physical integrity, but he specializes in stealing hearts. Recently, more than ten young women in Deyang Town have come to report the crime. Let us Help find the flower picker, they must find him no matter what, and then marry each other."
Hua Sanniang smiled.
“…”
Bai Yang was speechless, who the hell is this, so clever at picking up girls? I'm convinced... (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit m.read for a better reading experience.
