Chapter 705 Rebirth and Death
Chaos is approaching, and there is no vision in the sky.

The vision that most represents disasters is probably a comet at this time. Before Mozi's death and in the year of Tian's coup, the periodic comet that was most easily discovered by humans appeared.

When the comet appeared last time, the classics of all countries were still complete, and the history books of all countries had not been burned, so the Mohists told the world in that year: that comet was exactly the "Qiu Qi" recorded in the 14th year of Lu Wengong. In the moon, there is a comet with a star entering the Big Dipper; it is also the one that appeared in the ten years of Qin Li Gonggong more than 70 years ago.

And tell the world that this is not a symbol of disaster, but a star revolving around the sun.The so-called "comets have no light at all, and turn into light instead of the sun", just like the moon, it just reflects the sun's light.

And it is predicted that after 74 five or six years, this comet will appear again.

Along with the development of papermaking and printing, these theories quickly spread among the market. Fortunately, the historical materials of various countries that were not burned at this time made this speculation inferred from the past quickly become a theory that people believed.

In Dayi, a huge city in Zhuxia and Kyushu, people's understanding of the starry sky gradually changed from an unknown panic gushing out of feeling small and powerless, to a "delusion" of wanting to explore the "reason of the will of heaven" in it.

Now the comet with a period of 76 years will naturally not reappear in just a dozen years, and these years can be regarded as good weather.

In the era, ordinary people are not so sensitive to the impending chaos. Before the chaos comes, people will never believe that the chaos is coming.

Moreover, even if chaos strikes, people still have to eat, drink, marry, and reproduce, struggling to fulfill the most basic meaning of being human and animal in suffering.

In Gaoliu in the far north, although the arrival of Hu Feizi, Meng Sheng and a large group of Mohists has caused a lot of speculation, when the wedding of the concubine and prisoner Mi was held, many people in the city still went to see it with a kind of joy. A lively.

There have been rumors of an imminent chaos, but after all, there has been no chaos, has it?You can't learn from the worrying people in the story.

This is a symbolic model wedding in itself. In order to maximize the "frugality" in the future, it also promotes a kind of superficial equality—the most superficial equality of the old wedding is that the wedding is forbidden. Even the sons of heaven and princes have to be as incapable of playing music as the common people.The former does not, the latter cannot.

Those organized official wedding carriages are also to maximize the wedding without too much contrast caused by wealth during the wedding process.

After all, the path taken by the Mohists is destined to increase the gap between the rich and the poor in the future, and it is also doomed that many people may miss the pastoral beauty under the feudal system.

The combination of the two parties has different meanings.

One is a man in the Mohist army.

One is the daughter of a rising businessman.

The former represents theory, morality and force.The latter represented money and the emergence of a new class of relations of production.In Meng Sheng's words, this is a match made in heaven.

On the road from the family area of ​​the military camp in Gaoliu City to the city, the snow that fell in the past few days has already been swept away by the people of Gaoliu under the jurisdiction of the "Snow in Front of the Gate" law.

Crackling firecrackers sounded, and a large group of children rushed into the gunpowder smoke, looking for the firecrackers whose fuses had been broken due to the impact of the explosion, and then blocked the carriage of the concubine who was going to pick up his relatives, asking him for candy.

The fried melon seeds and peanuts were thrown down, and the children were satisfied with picking them up, so they made way.

According to the old custom, the concubine is wearing a new pure black dress, sitting in the carriage, and the wedding company's royal hand is in front: according to the custom, only after picking up the bride, the groom needs to drive around the bride's house Turn it up three times before handing it over to the royal hand.

It's just that ordinary people don't have horse-drawn carriages, and they specialize in art. From now on, all of this will be done by the official wedding media.

There were some family members in the army nearby, and the concubine Mi hummed the song that was going to be sung at the wedding at this time, which was considered both a celebration and an invitation.

The time is under the jurisdiction of the car, and the daughter of the season of Siluan is dead.

The bandits are hungry and thirsty, and Deyin comes to Kuo. Although they have no friends, they are happy with Shiyan.

In Yibi Pinglin, there is Jiweijiao, Chen Bishuo's daughter, who makes De come to teach.

Style Yan and reputation, good Seoul no shot.

Although there is no purpose of wine, the style of drinking is common, although there is no delicious food, the style of food is common.

Although there is no virtue and women, they sing and dance.

Go to Gaogang, analyze its oak salary, analyze its oak salary, and its leaves.

I am so fresh, I write from my heart.

The high mountains stand upright, and the sights stop when they are walking. The four males and the six bridles are like a piano.

Gou Er Xin faint, to comfort my heart.

The most critical sentence in the whole article may have been circulated for hundreds of years, and may even continue to be circulated in Zhuxia for thousands of years.

Although there is no purpose of wine, the style of drinking is common, although there is no delicious food, the style of food is common.

To change the language of the market, that is: the wine is not good, the food is not good, but everyone should eat and drink well.

The concubine Mi didn't know that the saying that food and wine are not good, but if you want to eat and drink well, it will continue to be passed down for thousands of years, and it has continued from the wedding banquet to the small gatherings on weekdays.

A few older women or middle-aged men whistled at the prisoners and shouted: "The gangsters are hungry and thirsty, Deyin is here. Are you really not hungry?"

After a few whistles and jokes, the prisoner Mi blushed a little, knowing that she might have to face more explicit words at the wedding.

The few people who went to pick up the bride laughed and cursed, threw snowballs, and asked the concubine if she was really a hungry and thirsty person, and they laughed.

The two people walking in the front carried two lanterns. This is an old habit, but it is not an old habit.

The old custom is to use candles, and two other people are needed to keep out the wind.

However, when the old habits came into being, there was no paper, and lanterns could not be made. Therefore, following the moral principle that changes in material bases brought about changes in customs, the Mohists replaced them with paper lanterns.

It's getting late, but it's just right, wedding ceremony, the etiquette at dusk, those who don't get married during the day are all in the evening.

The military barracks is located in the northwest of the city. It was a superstition, and the northwest was mainly for conquest, but some things became a habit after a long time.

Xing'er's home is in the downtown area, the most prosperous place in Gaoliu, where industry and commerce are close to the city. Over time, it has become a gathering area for industry and commerce. After all, there are not many large hydraulic workshops in Gaoliu now, and the wool textile industry is still a family handicraft workshop. Factory-based.

Now a bunch of people gathered in front of her house. Those women who worked as hired weavers in her house had been looking forward to this wedding for a long time. They didn't have to go to work today, and there were not many kinds of food.

The gate was closed tightly, and according to the old custom of preventing "snatching relatives", all male relatives of the family stood outside the gate and waited.

This kind of custom is a remnant left over from the habit of snatching marriages in ancient times, and the other can be regarded as a warning to the man that there are people in his family who can shake their fists, and it can be regarded as a warning of changing directions.

Xing'er was in the room, roasting by the fire, wearing new clothes, and a few female companions who went to girls' school together as bridesmaids, singing and joking.

As long as I am interested.It is enough to fill one's ears with plain, but to treat it with Qionghua.

As soon as I am in court.It is full of greenness, but it is Qiongying.

As soon as I am in the hall.Ears are full of yellow, but Qiongying is the best.

This is the song originally sung by the concubines and concubines who accompanied the aristocratic girls when they got married. It was very cheerful.

Ordinary families don't have halls and screens, so naturally they don't care about it.

Xing'er hadn't seen the concubine for a long time, and when she heard her girlfriend singing, the look of a lover naturally appeared in her heart, but then she felt a little sentimental.

Winter is almost over, and I have to leave home to go to Sishang. Everything is a brand new life, and there is no panic before it comes.

Everything at home is in order, there is not much to prepare, the dowry is already prepared, and some pre-marriage education is also completed in the pre-marriage school of the official media, as long as it is carried out step by step.

Everything seemed peaceful, both parents were smiling and seemed to be doing well.

But when the sound of firecrackers sounded outside, this peaceful smile was finally broken.

Holding Xing'er's hand, the mother originally wanted to say with a smile: "It's so cold, don't bother him, let's go."

But before the words were spoken, the tears finally couldn't help falling down, just holding her daughter's hand.

Xing'er couldn't help it either, and burst into tears, and the accompanying female companions hurriedly persuaded her a few more words before stopping.

Seeing each other off all the way, getting married and going out, got in the car, and drove around her house three times. Xing'er wanted to say that under the new rules, it would take three days instead of three months to come back to have a look. I must also know that when I come back in three days, I will leave after all, so I stopped talking.

The inside of the car was not cold, there was a small stove, and the concubine Pu Mi always had a lot to say when they met her, but on the day of their wedding, they couldn't say anything at all.

When I heard the sound of crackling firecrackers again, I don't know how long it took, and the concubine took her hand and got out of the car.

The people in the room were already waiting there. This is a hall in the barracks area. There were nearly 200 people sitting in it, and all kinds of food had been placed.

As soon as they entered the house, there was a roasted lamb in front of them. The first thing they did when they married their wife was to eat in prison together.

It may not be a sheep, it may not be a cow, it may not be a whole sheep, it is just a symbolic meaning.

Two people picked up a piece together, and after eating, a child brought two bitter gourds, and gourds were also used in some places.

There was light wine in it, and the husband and wife held the split bitter gourd to each other, drank a cup of wine together, then put down the split bitter gourd, combined them into one, and tied a piece of red string.

The wine is sweet and the bitter gourd is bitter, which symbolizes the sweetness and bitterness of life in the future.

There is a saying, "There are bitter leaves in gourds, and there are deep wading in poverty." Big gourds and bitter gourds are also tools for crossing water, and a cup of wine also means that the husband and wife are in the same boat.

The concubine Pu Mi's parents are not around, and the Mohist family doesn't have any custom of being a married woman in a three-month temple, so the wedding is halfway through at this point.

Many people joked to the concubine, "I married a bride, what should I say?"

Someone also shouted: "Isn't the company commander usually very good at talking? Even the representative said that you are not bad at being a representative. Tell me how you married such a beautiful bride."

In normal times, although the concubine Mi didn't dare to speak eloquently, but as a company-level cadre in the army, she grew up in a place like Sishang where street speeches were made all day long, not to mention facing more than 200 familiar people. , No matter how much, he can still speak.

But today, after holding back for a long time, only one sentence came out in the end.

"Although there is no purpose for wine, it is common to drink; although there is no delicious food, it is common to eat."

The food and wine are not good, but you have to eat and drink well...
