For several days, Chu Qing had adapted to the life of the ancients.
At this time, it was just dawn. I got up early and did a set of radio gymnastics before returning to the house.
He was instinctively opposed to soaking a gas tank that walked upright and had only a short period of use, but he had to do it.
On the desk, there is a piece of yellowed paper.
This is a piece of prescription. After "he" was struck by lightning and fell unconscious, his father rode a horse all over the capital, trying to find famous doctors to diagnose and treat him. This prescription was copied by his father himself.
The paper is worn and the handwriting is blurry, but every stroke and every trace contains a deep feeling of licking the calf.
The house seemed to be filled with the faint smell of herbs.
After he fell into coma, his father would boil medicine himself after going to court every day, and he had countless blisters on his hands.
Even the servants in the mansion prayed for themselves all day long, and some young maids hid in the garden wiping their tears every day.
Thinking of all these things, Chu Qing's heart was filled with warmth.
In order to protect such a father and such a Chu family, there is nothing to fear from marrying a gas tank. Even if he marries a natural gas pipeline, he will have to grit his teeth and endure it!
Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Chu Qing curled his lips.
The self in the bronze mirror is pale and extremely thin. Although the facial features are relatively strong, her temperament is like that of a trainee sissy, with no flesh on her body.
"This look is what a gas tank that has become refined after hundreds of years of cultivation can like."
After complaining, Chu Qing began to tie up his long hair.
Today is the day to visit Tao's house.
When the hour came, the servants' "greetings" came from outside.
"Now that you've come, let's make peace with it and just live." Chu Qing stood up and walked out of the house, closed the door, and completely locked away his nostalgia for his "previous life".
From now on, I don’t remember my past life, I only look at this life.
"Master has gone to court. Today I will go to Tao Mansion. Master, will you take a sedan or walk?"
The man who spoke was dressed as a guard, his name was Fu San, he was lean, in his early thirties, and had a shocking scar on his chin.
Despite Fusan's nodding and hunched-over appearance, he was also an experienced killer in the army before joining the government.
In fact, Chu Wensheng was not a civil servant in the actual sense. He was originally General Yunhui at the border. When the Supreme Emperor was still a prince, he was in charge of the border. Chu Wensheng has been following the Supreme Emperor.
Later, the Eight Dragons seized the throne, and Chu Wensheng followed the Supreme Emperor back to Beijing to compete for the position of the Dragon Throne.
After the Supreme Emperor seized the throne, he couldn't bear Chu Wensheng's suffering at the border, so he abandoned his military career and became a contractor from a general carrying a broadsword.
Unfortunately, the Emperor's crotch stretched out less than ten years after he ascended the throne, and his body could no longer bear it. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he did not like the old ministers from the past, which made it difficult for Chu Wensheng to secure his official position.
Fu San was originally Chu Wensheng's bodyguard. After entering the Chu Mansion, he had been serving Chu Qing closely.
Chu Qing asked: "San'er, how far is this Tao Mansion from our Chu Mansion?"
"Master, shall we walk, take a sedan, or ride a horse?"
"Let's walk, how long does it take?"
"We'll be there just after passing Nanshi. It's about ten miles away."
"That's not far. What if we take a sedan?"
Fu San thought for a moment: "More than ten miles."
"Where's the horse riding?"
Fu San thought for a moment again: "More than ten miles."
Chu Qing was stunned for a long time, and then asked with a strange expression: "In my incomplete memory, you have read the book, right?"
"I read it for less than a month before entering the mansion."
"If you have that tuition, donate it to the mountainous area next time." Chu Qing sighed: "When humans evolved, did you hide in trees and eat and waste gas? I'm asking about time. Do you understand time? Walking, or
It’s time to take the sedan chair.”
"Oh, it turns out you were asking about the time it would take." Fu San showed a look of realization on his face, and then said, "More than ten miles."
"I'm going to beat you up, believe it or not."
Fu San chuckled and said, "You've been saying all day long that you want to spank the little ones, but you haven't spanked them once."
Chu Qing was so angry that he laughed: "You are so confident in your feelings."
"It's you who are generous."
Chu Qing shrugged.
This is the only thing he is satisfied with about "himself". To outsiders, he is domineering, but at least he is pretty good to his own people.
"There is one more thing. I have to go up to the court and tell you a few words, so I can inform you."
"What did you say?"
Fu San thought about it for a moment and then said: "When you arrive at the Tao Mansion, you must not lose your etiquette. The Tao family's poetry and etiquette are the most important thing in passing down the family. Even if you are a little sloppy in your words, you must be patient. The head of the Tao family is the prince.
Young Master, you are a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, so don’t..."
"Damn, that means a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. What about a human calf? Have you ever read a book?"
Fu was stunned for a moment and scratched the back of his head.
That's right, that's exactly what the master said.
"Let's have breakfast first, and then go to Tao Mansion after breakfast."
Chu Qing went to the dining room with his hands behind his back.
I went to visit Tao Mansion today, not to propose marriage directly, but to get acquainted with her first.
In a normal marriage proposal, the matchmaker should go first and go through the six etiquette procedures, which are accepting the offer, asking for the name, accepting the offer, accepting the request, asking for a date, and welcoming the bride.
In fact, it is similar to that of later generations. First, you go there with large and small packages of gifts, and then you learn about the backgrounds of both parties, such as birth dates, whether the man is short of money in the five elements, and whether the woman is busy in the five elements.
As for horoscopes, if both men and women have horoscopes inside or outside the aisle, it will definitely be a match made in heaven. In the end, it will cost money. The price of an extra pound is clearly marked based on the market conditions. If both parties see that everything is OK, then it is OK.
Welcoming the bride.
Chu Qing's situation is quite special. The drunkard doesn't care about drinking. He has no hope of the Tao family's beloved young lady, so there is no need to go to such trouble. Today, in the name of visiting, the Tao family mistakenly thought that he was asking for a child.
Miss, in fact, she ran hard towards the third-hand aunt.
The dining room was ready for food, and Chu Qing ate directly on the stone table in the back garden.
A bowl of gruel, two delicious side dishes, and a few snacks, the style is quite unique.
In other words, Chu Qing could eat breakfast smoothly, but lunch and dinner were basically more miserable.
The overall environment of the Chang Dynasty was very similar to that of the Early Tang Dynasty in history, including the food.
The north eats millet, the south eats rice, the northwest eats pasta, and the frontier eats big naan.
This is the staple food, and most of the dishes are sauces, a dark mass, which is like the color of eight-treasure porridge, or the meat is cooked in a large pot or grilled over a high fire, and the salt is coarse salt, which is extremely bitter and difficult to eat.
These are meals eaten by wealthy families. Instead, ordinary people use vinegar cloth, that is, cloth soaked in vinegar water, because cloth is easier to preserve than liquid, and the common people will wear coarse cloth when working.
On the body.
It has been soaked in vinegar and soaked in sweat. The smell is not much stronger than the original black silk that has not been changed for eight months.
After eating, Chu Qing burped and stood up.
"Let's go to the Tao Mansion. Let me see the young master and see that third-hand gas tank."
