Five or six crowned men, six or seven boys, bathed in the river, danced in the wind, and chanted various words. To be honest, few of the following porters could understand them. They were still curious at first, but after reading half of them
At that moment, I felt dizzy and drowsy.
If it is a fasting and bathing in the palace, in addition to the teacher's recitation of bathing and changing clothes, keeping the body and mind clean to show piety, and even if there are evil people, fasting and bathing can offer sacrifices to heaven. In addition, there are other things to pay attention to, such as black hair, fumigation, etc.
There are various formulas for clothes and body fragrances, and a large number of spices are added. In addition to cleansing the body, deodorizing the body, and preventing insects, it also has the effect of air disinfection. In addition, the "divination official" is in charge of stipulating specific months of the year for bathing and fasting.
During that time, everyone in the palace would bathe with fragrant herbs during that period. This is the origin of the "Orchid Treatment Soup and Mu Fang". If it were in Zhuocheng Palace, Li Luo had seen it once, the Ministry of Internal Affairs
He Shaofu Si puts various spices and medicines into silk woven bags and soaks them in the pool. If it is the severe winter season, he will burn dozens of copper dragons, each weighing dozens of kilograms, and put them in the pool after they are red-hot.
The water is kept at a certain temperature, neither cold nor hot. It is called "Jiaolong Pool", also known as "Qingting Bathroom". It is very elegant and cannot be compared to the crude bathhouse in this house.
I read books earlier, or it can be said that I listened to books, took baths three times a day, and burned incense constantly. After lunch, of course, it was all vegetarian food with clear soup and weak flavor. There should not be any meaty smell. The meaty smell here does not mean eating vegetarian food or avoiding meat, but
It refers to unpleasant-smelling dishes such as onions, garlic, leeks, and ginger. The meat can be eaten, but it can be eaten as little as possible. But without these flavor-enhancing seasonings, even if there is meat, it will really have no taste.
Forget it if this is the case. After all, the taste of this food is a bit bland, but everything is complete. On weekdays, these lackeys have never eaten vegetarian food like this. There is no complaint. It's just that in the afternoon, there will be a different person, and age doesn't matter.
He is too big, has a rigid face, and teaches everyone etiquette, which makes these porters very miserable. If something is wrong here or there is something wrong, they will complain incessantly. It is almost as difficult as asking these rough people to embroider. It is indeed difficult.
Yes, but when Fan Wensheng led eight strong men with strong backs and strong waists, holding killing clubs, these screams disappeared, and he had to grit his teeth no matter how difficult it was to learn.
In the evening, a few more people came in from outside. Their appearance, dress, and gestures were much higher than those of the porters. They must be disciples of the country squires. Fan Wensheng was obviously much more polite to guests. Li Luosao
After taking a look at it, there were no more and no less. Counting himself and others, there were thirty-six people in total, which was almost enough. In the afternoon, the movers from the Fan family talked about it. After listening to a few words, Li Luo roughly understood the reason, but it was
Sending wine to Zhuocheng, a dock should be decorated with these tricks, it sounds like a peaceful and prosperous era with singing and dancing.
When these people came in, the inner hall was left to them. Li Luo and others could only stand outside in the hall, but no one said anything. It seemed like it should be so. Li Luo didn't say anything either. Those red tapes had gone through the palace rules.
Li Luo's eyes are really simple, and he can tell the depth with just one look, but here Li Luo still follows these people to practice this etiquette over and over again.
On the second day, the thirty-six people were divided into two groups. The squire disciples were learning how to deliver wine smoothly, especially when they had to cross the rickety gangplank. As for the movers and the delivery of goods onto the ship, they were
It’s your duty, you don’t need to spend too much time, the hard part is how to remember those dazzling steps and movements. When it comes to the final break, you laugh at me and I look down on you, but at this moment no one is causing trouble.
Three days later, everyone got up early before dawn. After washing, they put on the clothes after burning incense. They were all white shirts. It looked very strange to only one person wearing them, but if thirty-six people were all wearing such clothes, it would be quite a scene.
Fan Wenzhao, the head of the Fan family, also came. He looked very similar to Fan Wensheng, the second head of the Fan family, but he was more serious and mature. Fan Wenzhao comforted everyone with a pleasant expression, and the group went out and walked to the ferry.
Normally there aren't many people at the ferry at this time, but this time it was different. People were already coming and going on the street, many of them were government servants and police officers from the squadron. They all had solemn faces and walked quickly with solemn expressions.
very.
The Fan family can't get inside yet. Fan Wenzhao and a group of porters are standing on the outside. However, these thirty-six men of the right age in white are standing here, which is a bit eye-catching. Ma Sancheng is also here.
, standing further away, there was a man who looked about the same age as him standing side by side with Ma Sancheng. He should be Ma Chong, the second boss of Ping An Shop. Of course, not everyone in the crowd showed dissatisfaction, there was a group of people wearing black
A group of tough men dressed like thugs gathered together and looked at Fan Wenzhao coldly. Needless to say, they must be the Jiao Gang who have been competing with the Fan family for the top spot of the Pier's gang.
Fan Wenzhao was not squinting. At the moment, the magistrate of Zouping County and all the heads of the various departments were at the ferry. Even if he had the guts of the Dajiao Gang, he would not dare to cause trouble at this time. In fact, Fan Wensheng was still hoping that the Dajiao Gang would create an extraneous branch, so that he could take advantage of it.
The machine eradicated them.
After a while, first the county magistrate, the county magistrate, came over and looked around; after a while, the county magistrate came. Fan Wenzhao knelt down and saluted, but the thirty-six porters did not bow, and the magistrate did not dare to call them.
Bye, bye, that would ruin the respect of fasting for three days and bathing at the fifth watch. The magistrate is an old man, with a goatee and a smile, like a good old man, but the sparkle in his eyes is a bit extraordinary. The magistrate
He helped Fan Wenzhao up, joked with Fan Wenzhao for a few words, and then walked away. He didn't talk much and didn't have anything serious to do. But this was just for the people on the dock to see. No one else would say it, but the Black Tower guy who was the leader of the Big Jiao Gang
His face became even gloomier.
I watched the ferry for more than an hour. After the sun rose, a group of people came over from a distance. Five flags fluttered in the wind, which was very grand. The flag in the middle had the word "tribute" written on it, indicating that this was
As a tribute, the flag on the left is embroidered with a leopard and the word "Bian" written underneath. This is the military flag of Bian Liang, the commander-in-chief of Jiuquan, Hushan Prefecture. The remaining three flags on the left and right are embroidered with the characters "Gangchou", "Zundou" and "Zhangjue" respectively.
They are the three Bai Gongchi families, which are the three famous families in Huzhang Prefecture. The Bai family is on the right side of the tribute flag, the Gong family is on the left side of the military flag of Bian Liang, the commander-in-chief, and the Chi family is on the right side of the Bai family flag. Xiaoxiao
A flag is also a reflection of the power of a noble family in Hu Shang Wine.
Behind the flag, nearly a thousand people lined up neatly, half in armor and half in plain clothes, and Jiuquan Commander-in-Chief Bian Liang personally escorted them.
