Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

Sure enough, it was luscious and refreshing, and with Zhang's smiling face, he used up the whole bowl. "Let me tell you, Lian'er has recently fallen in love with arithmetic, and he's good at it." Jia She thought that he could stay today and have a good chat with Mrs. Zhang, which hadn't happened between them for a long time.

Listening to Jia She's words, Mrs. Zhang took out a handkerchief, wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth, and the two chatted happily.

Xie Momo patted her heart, and finally calmed down the heartbeat. Today, the masters in Jia's mansion are all going to have fun, and the second room is naturally also, even the servants and maids will join in the fun.She sneakily walked back from the porch, looked at the main house where the lights had been turned off, and quietly went back to her own room.Thinking of the cup of white fungus and lotus seeds, what happened tonight, she will be taken to hell, for her poor young lady, even if her hands are stained with blood, it is necessary, who made this world be like this.Even if it is found out one day in the future, it will be a backstop.

****

Same capital, different days.

Xie and his newly married wife returned home after the Qixi Festival banquet in the palace, and they didn't say anything along the way. "There are a lot of things today, let's rest early, you are still pregnant, don't be tired." Xie said a few words to his first wife, and then went back to the study.He didn't even look at the face of the other party. This marriage is also a royal marriage, and the family is right. However, this child came much earlier than he thought. You must know that apart from the three days of their wedding, they have never had any other marriages. After having intercourse, it was found out that the fifth concubine was pregnant.

Xie went into the study, opened the window, and looked at the Milky Way in the sky, but he couldn't feel the atmosphere of Qixi Festival at all.

"Ping'er is the only one who pleases me." Xie remembered the words he heard when he was hiding in the grass when he was a child. It was a sentence his father said to Concubine Chen, but Concubine Chen was still dead. And her son, the fourth prince who is two years older than herself.

Xie saw the sadness in his father's eyes after the death of the fourth prince, and secretly saw the stiff corners of his mouth when Concubine Chen passed away.He knew it was a secret, because the people in the palace didn't feel how sad the emperor was at all, and they didn't see the emperor's attitude of pursuing the title at all.

Xie was thinking about his mother, but she was a noble person who died within two years after giving birth to her, and then she was raised under the name of Concubine Chen.It was a seemingly gentle and amiable person, and my young self could not even tell the difference between her treatment of her own son and herself, the same requirements, no spoiling, indulgence, or discrimination.He once felt that he was lucky, because the fourth prince died and he was alive, but Concubine Chen, who lost her son, also died of illness a year later.He lost his brother and his adoptive mother.The life in the palace is not easy, the father always has an indescribable estrangement towards him.

It was only then that Xi gradually realized that there was always a difference, after all, he was not the child of Imperial Concubine Chen.

Just today he fully understood, what he hadn't sorted out all the time, why his father was half indifferent to him, because looking at himself, he would think that the people he loved the most had died, but he, the substitute Nor is the son alive.

Xie closed his eyes, because of the look in his father's eyes when he went to pay homage to Concubine Chen today.Since ancient times, the emperors have been ruthless, but if their affection is rarely given to one, no one else can get it, not themselves, not the prince, and the other princes can't at all.

Yes, the seventh day of the seventh month is the death sacrifice for Concubine Chen. Except for herself, her adopted son, who in this place in the palace would remember a concubine who had passed away for a full ten years, not to mention that she was not honored to favor the sixth palace.

Even Xie did not expect to catch a glimpse of the emperor's complicated eyes when he asked his father for instructions and went to Changchun Palace to pay homage to his adoptive mother.

'Huh——' Xie sighed, so that's it, he will be a prince peacefully, and he will be a leisurely prince in the future.Although this wife's family background is not high, but she can be considered to be able to give him a child immediately.It is also a good thing to let this child grow up and live an ordinary life.

No one can beat a dead man.Why should he get involved in this muddy water.

This is because the situation in the DPRK and China has recently become strange.

Today, the Holy Majesty is nearly sixty years old, and the eldest son is also forty years old, and he is the crown prince who was sealed at birth.Followed by the deceased fourth prince and seven sons.The youngest is five or six years old.

It's just that as the adult prince got married and started a mansion, and entered the court to work, the position of the prince became more and more difficult. This year, the Zhang family in Guanzhong was intercepted and killed by bandits, which made the situation even more strange.The ink corruption case of this family was killed before the veracity was determined, which made the prince in charge of the case very angry.However, the emperor is still there, and the prince is just a prince. It may not be that simple to find out what's inside.

Besides, the emperor's liking for the prince this year is no more than that of a few small ones, it is only half a step away, but the prince can still be discarded after all.

Xie just smiled, these words can only be suffocated in his heart, and he can't reveal half of it.The one his father wanted to confer the most is no longer there, so for the rest, he will only find the most suitable one.But what does this have to do with me?Why not read a few books by Westerners, and sometimes think about it, it would be good to go out to see the sea, he has never seen the sea, and the square sky of the capital is the same.

"So, is there a folk saying that it is Ghost Festival today?" Far away at the other end of Jinling, Xue Pan was watching the stars in the small courtyard with Father Xue and Mr. Song, listening to Song Quan talking about the other day of Qixi Festival. Version.

"The folks regard May [-]th and July [-]th as days of worship, so being born on this day is not regarded as a good day." Song Quan stroked his beard and remembered a story. "I've heard that children born on this day are not easy to support. There was a rich family who gave birth to a daughter, and even borrowed a name from a distant relative in the country, and asked the old relative to give him a name. , Afterwards, his life was safe and smooth.”

Xue Pan didn't know that there was such a saying. He felt that the matter of borrowing one's life was also very ethereal, and it seemed to be nonsense. "Sir, is this really true?"

"Everything is hard to say." Father Xue sighed, but he remembered something, "Your grandfather seemed to have said that kind of thing back then."

"Father, what is it, can you tell me about it?" It was rare for Xue Pan to hear Father Xue talk about the grandfather that made him puzzled, and he always wanted to find out more.Father Xue looked at his son's eyes that seemed to be shining, and felt whether it was a child's curiosity or heaviness.

"You can just listen to this matter, you can't do it for real." Father Xue tried hard to think about what happened back then. "It is said that when your grandfather was young, he heard a story.

A literati encountered a mountain torrent on his way to Beijing for an exam, and was rescued by a boy from a village.After waking up and recovering from illness, the literati still missed the imperial examination, but he became friends with that young man. Although the other party was a countryman, he had a romantic temperament of Wei and Jin Dynasties.The two got along very happily and became close friends.When the literati have to go home, meet the young man in the south of the Yangtze River.But the world is impermanent, and then the literati returned home. Five years later, the boy never came to him again.When he was about to get married and sent someone to invite the young man, he realized that the young man had left the village five years ago and had disappeared.

Originally thought that they might never meet again in this life, but when a literati took his family to visit their ancestral home, they were robbed by bandits, and the guards were killed or injured. When his child was about to be injured, A man rushed out of the woods on a tall horse and rescued his child.When the danger passed, the literati were shocked to find that this strong man was the young man back then.

The reason why he left was because he had a difficult disease and went to seek a famous doctor. Unfortunately, there is no cure for more than ten years, and he may die soon.The literati felt very sad, how could this friend and benefactor, who saved himself and his children, be able to go like this.

After several parties settled down, a Taoist priest told him that there was a way to try, but he had to pay a terrible price, which was to exchange his life for his life.His friend was supposed to be healthy, but he met the catastrophe in the literati's life. Now unless the literati lend him his life, he can't recover.

After hearing this, the literati did so without hesitation.Later, the friend's illness was cured without treatment. "

Xue Pan felt a little strange after hearing his father's story. How could his grandfather say such a thing to his father, "Father, were you as curious as I was at that time? And what about the literati later?"

Father Xue shook his head, "I heard this when your uncle pestered your grandfather to tell a story. As for the result of the literati, I didn't say anything. Pan'er is just a story."

Xue Pan didn't think so in his heart, is the story really a story, or is it an invisible truth.Just like he pretended to be like a child of the same age, but in fact some things were true and false early on.

☆、18、Meet strange people at the temple fair

Regardless of whether Xue Pan thought it was just a weird story that his grandfather heard, the story in the storybook might just be a joke made up by a book writer, but it might also be true.Even if people who read it later feel that it is so out of tune with the history of that era.For example, when Xue Pan lived, he saw a dog that could walk and run at a temple fair in Jinling.You reach out to touch it, and it will make a sound when you feel uncomfortable. The key is that it is made of wood.

As soon as the Qixi Festival passed, it would be the Double Ninth Festival. Xue Pan asked Dang Gui to inquire about the news, but there has been no reply so far.Just to find a man named Huang Luzhuang.To say that most people in the world know that there was a man named Dai Zi in the early Qing Dynasty who was good at making firearms, but less about the other man who was at the same time as him. That man was not an official and did not leave any manuscripts, but it was an invention. Home.If you want to say what he invented, you can only get a glimpse of it from the records of historical manuscripts. Bicycles, thermometers, microscopes, mechanical dogs, etc. are just one of them. Unfortunately, his "Qi Qi Mu Lue" did not survive, and neither did the utensils. , After the age of 28, there is no more talk about his story.That is Huangluzhuang.

Xue Pan knew this person because what he did far surpassed the thinking of the times, and his invention was 100 years earlier than that of the West.It can be said that he was a pioneer in practical physics and engineering at that time.Even Mei Wending, a mathematician called "Ji Xue Shen Wei" by Kangxi, has praised Huang Lvzhuang's whimsy and exquisite craftsmanship.

Since it is such a character, will it also appear in this time and space?

"Master, I have already inquired everywhere, but there is no news about this Master Huang. According to the birth time you reported, I have not found such a strange person." Too many, not even the slightest news. "Look, maybe he moved, to the north?"

Xue Pan shook his head. I'm afraid he couldn't find it. I don't know where the history of the tone-changing got such a talent. "Forget it, let's stop here. Don't go out of your way to do it. Tell Dad, bring a few guards, and let's go to the temple fair." Maybe there is no such thing as Huangluzhuang, and there is Suluzhuang.

The first day of Chongyang Festival has just passed, and there is still a faint scent of chrysanthemums on the street, and people stop and choose in front of various stalls selling goods. "Hurry up, hurry up, someone in front will be performing a wheel ride again!" Hearing such a voice from the crowd, some children gathered towards the front.Hearing that Xue Pan was riding a wheel, his curiosity was aroused. It must not be a bicycle. There is no such thing in this era. Could it be that Huangluzhuang appeared? !

Xue Pan motioned for Danggui to go up to join in the fun. Several guards protected Xue Pan inside, but they saw the situation inside clearly from the side, and saw a middle-aged man with white hair riding on the wooden wheel in front. There was another child in the back seat, and the middle-aged man shook the crank in his hand, but moved forward with balance and turned several times.

Everyone who saw it applauded one after another, 'Papa! 'The applause was warm, as if I had never seen such a performance. "One more! One more!" Some people put down one or two copper coins, encouraging the middle-aged people.

The middle-aged man cupped his hands, took out a wooden dog beside him, and then seemed to pull some kind of clockwork, and saw that the wooden dog started to walk by itself, and it really looked like a dog walking.And when the middle-aged man suddenly patted its back, a cry of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" came out from the wooden body, which made the audience in the circle suddenly quiet down, and then it exploded, and everyone shouted With a loud voice, "Okay!"

Looking at the scene in the arena, Xue Pan was already emotionally overwhelmed, has he finally found him, the master of this era.Those who were not believed later, were 100 years earlier than the West, their own inventors.Xue Pan felt that at this time, he was really alive, not a man of the third generation who severely suppressed Mu Mu's old feelings, but a young man who had thrown away the burden of the past and started all over again.

When the crowd dissipated, Xue Pan immediately went up to meet him, "Sir, please stop, can you take a step to talk."

The middle-aged man and the child next to him came back to their senses, and saw a handsome boy standing in front of him. He looked at the child dressed like a rich man, not to mention the servants and guards beside him.The middle-aged man didn't know Xue Pan's reason for coming, and thought that he liked these novelties just like the previous guests. "Does the customer want to buy this wooden dog and two-wheeled cart?"

Xue Pan restrained the urge to hold the middle-aged man's hands, and took a deep breath, "May I ask, these are all made by Mr."

The middle-aged man nodded naturally, "If you want more, I'm afraid it will take some time. The workmanship of this thing is not so easy."

Xue Pan looked at the affirmative tone of the middle-aged man, confirmed the source of these things, and wanted to know if these were his ideas, "Is there anything else? These are different."

"Of course there are. There are also some small mirrors that can see the stars in the sky, or there are people who can dance if you want. I can do all these. If you want to do something, you can also tell me." The middle-aged man looked Considering Xue Pan's age, I think he likes the freshness of these things. There are many wonderful things in Jiangnan, but there is no such fun as him.

Xue Pan motioned for Danggui to take out the money, "I don't know what to call the gentleman, I want these, and I want to talk to the gentleman about whether we can do something else. Is it convenient for you to go to the house now?"

When the middle-aged man saw the silver ingots that Angelica took out, he felt that there were too many. These jobs were not worth the price, and they could be his household for half a year. "It's too much, you don't need so much, and I don't have any broken money for you, just that little bit is enough." The middle-aged man pointed to the piece of silver that Angelica didn't even look at, and said that it was enough.

Xue Pan did not argue with him. In this era, almost no one understands the meaning of these things, which cannot be bought back even for 2 taels. They represent the world's first invention that was clearly possible but never realized.

Danggui looked at the master's eyes, and handed over the broken silver.The middle-aged man smiled and gave the things to Xue Pan's servant, "Don't call me Mr., my name is Yan Shi, and this is my little grandson Yan Ye. Young master, come and visit my house now."

"Of course, let's go now, there is no inconvenience." Xue Pan wanted to quickly see what more surprises this Yan Shi, who fits his ideal candidate for construction machinery master, would bring him.

A group of people followed Yan Shi and his grandson to a small house not far behind the market, "Don't mind, it's a bit messy." Yan Shi opened the door and saw the ground in front of the courtyard. Facing all kinds of wood and some scattered metal parts, what he said was messy.

The guards went first, and then let Xue Pan enter. As soon as he entered, Xue Pan saw something like a telescope. "You made that? Can you see the moon clearly? Is there something on it?"

Yan Shi heard that Xue Pan was a man of knowledge, and was about to speak when he saw those guards.Xue Pan suddenly understood, "You all go out and wait, and let Angelica stay."

The five guards nodded and retreated. This master's kung fu is not flying over the roof, and he is definitely not a child. It was taught by an expert. In fact, it is a pamphlet given by the old man with white beard. It is really a good thing.Xue Pan, who has been practicing for two years, has benefited a lot.

"Sir, let's get straight to the point. On that moon, you didn't see Chang'e, but you saw a mountain and its shadow." Xue Pan sat down on a stone bench nearby, and looked at the moon with a serious face. Yan Shi.

Yan Shi looked at Xue Pan in amazement, how could he know that he did the same thing. "My little son, it's not good to say such a thing."

To say that Xue Pan and Yan Shi still believed in those legends in the era that Xue Pan and Yan Shi lived in. The stars and moon in the sky are the places where gods live, and that is something that mortals like them can offend.That's why Qin Tianjian has his position. Although they are far from being able to compare with before in the Daqing Dynasty, taboos are always taboos.

"Mr. dared to do it. I must have heard the saying from Westerners. They were the first to look up at the sky. They were regarded as heretics, but now they have recognized those as great pioneers and called them scientists. Don’t you, Mister, think that these things can discover another world, so people are not confused, and don’t want to give up their youthful dreams?”

Xue Pan's words exploded in Yan Shi's ears, how did he see it.

Xue Pan smiled and said, "You don't have any valuables in your home. Look at this pile of wood and broken parts, and all kinds of things that you have never seen in the market. Don't you never give up?" Otherwise, wouldn’t a grandfather want his grandson to go to school, or save money to live in peace, and let him learn such a job?”

However, Xue Pan saw the same look in Yan Ming's eyes, not when he was looking at Yinliang, but when he was looking at those strange and strange objects.

"I named my grandson Ye, don't you hope that he can inherit your wish that you may not be able to fulfill, and go further on this road of creation and production?"

Yan Shi sighed in Xue Pan's clear eyes, and sat down on the stone bench, "For more than 30 years, from north to south, I have met people who like these technologies, but no one believes in them. It will change the whole of Daqing. Just looking at the sky mirror may attract a lot of people's dislike. Everyone should watch the fun, why should you take it seriously?"

"If you are serious about what you do, then the people who watch it will always be serious. If you realize it one day earlier, you will be able to seize the opportunity. Mr. Yan, are you willing to see if Daqing will shake the world because of them?" Xue Pan said The words were calm and gentle, but Yan Shi nodded unconsciously as if with strange magic power.

Thirty-three years later, his son died of injuries, his old wife died during the journey, and he left alone his grandson who depended on each other for life, but the children also loved these ingenious and obscene things in the eyes of the world.Obviously, Xiyang can sail large ships to Daqing, but here Daqing goes to sea, can you find Xiyang?

It's not that Yan Shi has never read books and had a test of fame, but since he came into contact with clocks and watches, and since he came into contact with the Western Book of Gewu, it is like being possessed by a demon. Thinking about whether these things will change the whole world The world turned upside down?

Yan Shi looked at Xue Pan, as if seeing a different future. "I'm an old bone, but I still don't want to be reconciled to the rest of my life like this. At least let my grandson play with these wooden mechanisms in a fair manner, instead of being regarded as heretics."

Xue Pan saw the light in Yan Shi's eyes. He had seen it in the eyes of Westernization Engineers. At that time, they were full of desire to revitalize the country and rejuvenate the country. However, Yan Shi's seemingly simple but extraordinary desire , that is the mind to break the shackles inherent in the millennium.

However, Xue Pan knows that interests drive everything, and there will be a future that Yan Shi wants.

In the capital city, Xie opened a hidden compartment in the study, and inside was a long copper tube, which was obviously the sky mirror made by Yan Shi.

☆, 19, Laba sad and happy points

"Master, the Laba porridge from the palace has been divided." Eunuch Wood told Xun Shi.

Today is Laba, and the monks and nuns of Yongfu Temple, the largest in the capital, form a team of three or five people, chanting the Buddha's name, and walking in the streets.The one at the front is holding a copper sala in his hand, and a gold and bronze Buddha statue is sitting inside it, while the others in the back are holding poplar branches, soaked in perfume, sprinkled dew on the street, and circled the entire inner city.At noon, after the Buddhist bathing meeting came to an end, a large pot was set up at the gate of the temple, with firewood burning underneath to keep the Laba porridge inside warm.A monk held a wooden spoon with a slightly longer handle, and another monk arranged the order of the common people and began to serve Laba porridge.

"Understood, you put it down." Xie glanced at the porridge given from the palace. As the son of the emperor, the pot he got was not bad, even if he was not the most favored prince, the food utensils in life , and will definitely not be neglected in such a place where anyone with a discerning eye can see, everyone in the imperial city knows how not to be caught.

Every year at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the Ministry of Internal Affairs begins to purchase these five grains and fruits.On the seventh day of the lunar new year, under the supervision of princes and ministers, they began to cook porridge.This pot is not small, with a diameter of 6 feet and a depth of 5 feet, enough to hide one or two people in it.The reason why such a large pot is used is because the porridge is to be distributed to many people.

From the first pot for the Buddha, the second pot for the emperor and the masters in the palace, to the third pot for the princes and ministers and the eminent monks in the capital, the fourth pot for the officials to taste, and then to the royal family in the capital The temples and alms are given to the common people, but the materials used in it are not as good as one pot.

Just drinking porridge on the day of the Laba Festival is also divided into three, six, and nine grades.

Xie ate the porridge while it was still warm, but what he thought in his heart was that when the spring came and the child was born, he would try to leave the capital to visit, he hadn't been out of the capital yet.Counting the years, Xie is also 15 years old, and he has reached the age where he can go out to do errands.And Xie is not just for errands, but also wants to see the different styles of Daqing, not just the words in the books.Although there is no saying in Daqing that princes cannot go to Beijing without approval, it is obviously unrealistic for a prince to study in Daqing without an errand.

He remembered the particular telescope he had found at a grocer.One night he somehow lifted it up to look at the sky, and let his heart sink into a world of stars, things that shone brightly in the dark of night like never before Clear, as if within reach.

After he saw the crater on the moon, it was the first time that Xie thought about whether there were really gods on it?If not, what about the other stars?If it is possible to have someone special, is it really a fairy again?How does the immortal observe the people underground, is it through such a telescope, or is it a magic weapon that is more real and illusory than them?

In the process of searching for such an answer, Xie came across books from Canton, all of which were written by Westerners. They talked about the way of investigating things and mathematics and physics, which were not mainstream in Daqing.However, for a prince, the Four Books and Five Classics are not the fundamental way. If you want to know how to use it, you don't just stick to words. Then there are the Imperial Academy and the Imperial Academy.

There are many talented people in the capital, but not many people are really good at these things and take them seriously.Xie wanted to go to Jiangnan to have a look. He heard that Song Quan's scholarship was different from ordinary people, so maybe he could hear some good ideas.In the past, Song Quan was an important minister in the court, and as a young prince, he had no possibility of contact. Now Song Quan and Ding You are in his hometown, unburdened, and he, a prince who is working in the court, still seems to be unable to get in touch with him frequently.Xie shook his head in his heart, this is not freedom.

Not being free is said by living people, and those who die are not even qualified to say a word.

Mrs. Zhang failed to survive the winter, and died on the night of the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month. She couldn't even drink the last mouthful of Laba porridge.This plunged the Jia family, who were about to rejoice and celebrate the festival, into a funeral.

Jia's mother has frowned many times. That Mrs. Zhang doesn't say that she is not worry-free when she is alive.But she still lamented, "Let the boss go and do it properly. It's been ten years in Jia's house, and her natal family has suffered such a crime. It's a hard life. Let the master of Yongfu Temple come to chant scriptures, Save a good day for the afterlife."

Jia Lian stood in the mourning hall in a daze, beside Jia She who was equally grieved. When this man was alive, father and son did not have the sorrow of not seeing each other forever, but the suddenness was as expected. After always being with the people around me, the whole person is empty.Especially Jia Lian, when he closed his eyes, Zhang's eyes were full of reluctance. Without it, he would no longer have a mother, and in the future he would have no mother-less child.This thought made the ten-year-old Jia Lian tremble all over. At this time, he still didn't know what it meant in Jia's mansion.Ignorance is also a blessing, but this lack of intelligence also makes him miss the possibility of enlightenment.

"Hey——" Song Quan listened to Father Xue's words, and the Jia family entrusted someone to send a letter about the Zhang family. At this point, the Zhang family was completely deserted. "In the past, Master Zhang and I also met several times. We are obviously an upright person. It has been almost a year since the bandit intercepted and killed him, and there is still no result. I am afraid it is difficult to draw a clear conclusion. Everyone is dead. , Zhang's charges are still pending, I really don't know what to say."

"Sir, has Mr. Zhang been an official in Guanzhong all his life? Zhang Jiayuan is in Guanzhong, how did he get married with the Jia family in the capital?" Xue Pan heard that this family was from the former Guanzhong family, and later returned to Daqing. It also developed steadily in Guanzhong. Guanzhong produces cotton, and the Xue family is also doing business there.However, he didn't understand how Zhang's family and Jia's family were married. The key point was that after Zhang's family married into Jia's mansion, Zhang Jia didn't have any more contact with each other.

"This matter is still on Jia Gong. When Mr. Zhang was an official in Beijing, he had a good relationship with Jia Gong, so he made a marriage contract. After his eldest son grew up, he married the Zhang family. Later, Mr. Zhang passed away early, and the Zhang family was basically in Guanzhong, but Jia’s family was in the capital. The old man died before the marriage was completed, and it was Mr. Jia who made it happen. It's a pity that the youngest daughter of the Zhang family married into Jia's mansion, and within two years, Mrs. Jia went too. But the Zhang and Jia families don't have any more mutual support."

Song Quan thought about the well-informed and sensible Jia Gong back then, and he only sighed at the Jia family today, which is still unclear, but after more than ten years, the eldest son has no ambition to make progress, and the younger son is just a rigid Scholars, and the complicated backyard that he can guess, even good people will be ruined in Jia's house.

What Xue Pan learned from Song Quan was not just about the books, but more about these complicated relations between the court and China. It was like the Zhang family was in his ears, but he found out a little taste. His well-known family once had a place in Beijing, but it is even more intertwined in Guanzhong.They just broke up like this, and he would never believe that they didn't make trouble behind the scenes.

As far as Zhang Jia's marriage is concerned, it may be that the Zhang family showed favor to some forces or clarified their position, but they still couldn't escape.That's right, there are nine princes today, except for the immortals, there are eight more. If you surrender to this one, you will be stabbed in the back by another one if you can't keep it.You must know that Guanzhong is not a small place, and a layer of silver can be scraped there.

"Pan'er, let's not talk about this today. We still have porridge. Your mother is about to give birth, and it will be a month's work. Don't let her worry about such things." Father Xue interrupted Xue Pan continued to delve into his thoughts, but instead talked about Xue's mother's body, "Recently your mother likes to listen to people reading poems, and you know that as a father, you really feel sleepy after reading those. When you are free, Read a few more poems to your younger sister who likes to listen to poems."

Xue Pan nodded and said yes, and the festival was about to come. The Xue family was already busy, but Xue's mother's delivery date was just in the first month. Although it had been prepared for several months, both Xue's father and him were still nervous, but if It's good to be in peace.

"Mother, I'm here to tell my sister a story." Xue Pan let go of the cold air on his body, stayed by the fire for a while, and then sat down on the stool next to Xue's mother's bed, looking at Xue's nine mothers. The moon's big belly and its chubby appearance made him sweat in his heart, and he gently touched Xue's mother's belly, "My sister can't make trouble with your mother, so today my brother will tell you about the origin of Laba. "

Xue Pan whispered about the origin of the twelfth lunar month, which has existed since ancient times.

"The word La is derived from the word hunting. Does my sister know what hunting is? It is hunting. They all say that this is something that a daughter's family can't do, but a man's family. In fact, occasionally riding and shooting hunting, but Interesting, you must be in good health in the future, and my brother will secretly take you out to play.

Besides, the twelfth lunar month is the month for hunting wild animals in order to sacrifice ancestors.It was called Qingsi in the Xia Dynasty, and Jiaping in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. It was turned into wax in the Zhou Dynasty, and it was wax in the Han Dynasty.Therefore, it was not until the Han Dynasty that the last month of the year was called the twelfth lunar month, and my sister was born in the first month after that.

You will know in the future that the month before your birth is fun, mainly because Laba porridge is really delicious, mixed with white rice, yellow rice, red rice, millet, water chestnut rice, chestnuts, jujube paste, etc., and adding peach kernels, almonds, Preserved melon seeds, peanuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, and raisins, cook the hard-to-cook rice first, and then add the easy-to-cook fruits.
