Chapter 163 Stealing People
The prince was preparing to marry a concubine, and the princess married her, which made Xijing feel excited and made Xijing prosperous. Needless to say, the wealthy families spent money like flowing money, and the small families also did everything they could to replenish. The facade lets the Great Liao Kingdom, which is heading towards the end of the world, emit the last glory...
'The lights and moon shadows in the six streets are lit and the moon is scaled. I walk through the long bridge and touch the locks frequently. I send Jinwu to relax the night ban, and there are still people stealing people in the nine gates!' The most lively shihou in the Khitan New Year is not New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, but Lantern Festival. The influence of Han culture, they also have this section, but their minds are not on appreciating lanterns, but on "stealing". This poem refers to this Khitan custom!
The 13th, 14th, and 15th night of the first lunar month are the days of the Khitan's stealing. Everyone can steal from each other at will. The big ones are the wives and daughters, treasures, clothes, saddles and horses, carriages, and cups and plates, and brooms. The shovels and picks are all stolen. The government will not hold the stolen accountable for these three days, but it is only available for these three days. "Please search Piaotianwen, novels are better and faster! .
Most of the losers are very tolerant, because you steal mine, I steal yours, and stealing on the Lantern Festival is just a way to have fun. Therefore, the owner is just to be on guard against theft and does not arrest him. After the thief is stolen, he just wants to find a way to retrieve the lost property.
According to experts, this custom still remains in modern times, and it is not elsewhere. There is also a custom of marrying a married man to steal things. After the man welcomes the man to eat and drink at the woman's house, he will wait. When leaving, you have to go with the dishes, saucers, teacups and other things that you can hold, and the woman will redeem them with tobacco and alcohol. This is the remnant of "stealing". It was even once popular on the Internet. The 'stealing vegetables' game, after some experts have also included this ancient custom...
On the 13th day of the first lunar month, I fell into a carnival when I arrived in Xijing. Some people went to other people to steal objects while their masters were welcoming guests, and there were also three or two who cooperated to climb over the wall to enter the house. More of the lone heroes broke through People who are rich and noble can be chivalrous and righteous. You can often see thieves fleeing in the arms of the streets, and behind them are laughing and scolding the owners who are chasing, but they often just symbolically chase them to the intersection of the street and turn back home. The soldiers patrolling the streets We will stop to watch the fun and not step forward!
Fengtai in the northwest of the city seems to have no chance of being happy at this time. Even the big thieves who have succeeded frequently will avoid it from here, not wanting to be unlucky during the New Year.
"Secretary Xiao, please don't watch it, let's play chess!" Yu Liyan said to Zhao Xin, who had been standing in front of the window for a long time, on the dressing floor.
"Princess. I'm in a mood!" Zhao Xin withdrew his gaze and turned around and shook his head.
"Don't be polite, we will be a family in the future, but how should we match each other?" Yu Liyan said with a smile. The beauty in front of him will become the princess of Yeluding, the fifth brother of Ziji, and Ziji will also become her third brother Xiao Chongde. My wife, after the wedding, you can’t call her sister-in-law the other party!
"Oh, the princess is still in the mood to joke now. Are you really willing to marry my third brother?" Zhao Xin sighed as he looked at the princess who was smiling like a lot.
"Then I'd better call you sister. Why am I not worthy of your third brother? Or do you don't like being with me?" Yu Liyan said with a smile.
"It is a great honor for the princess to marry our family, but you don't feel that it's aggrieved to marry like this?" Zhao Xin said angrily.
"What can you do if you are unwilling to accept it, but what can you do if you are wronged? I am just a chess piece in their hands now!" Yu Liyan's face darkened. He threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess cup and made a crisp sound.
"We can leave and leave here!" Zhao Xin said.
"Will go, how to go? Where will you go?" Yu Liyan said with a wry smile, "It is said to prevent someone from stealing here. In fact, it is to prevent us from escaping. There are soldiers everywhere in the yard. There are also bows and arrows hidden above the building.
I’m afraid even a bird can’t fly out of this phoenix platform!”
"..." Zhao Xin was silent. Yes, where can ziji go? If you join the prince, ziji will have the face to go back! But if you want ziji to marry Yeluding, you will never agree even if you die. If you don't say what he is now, you want to
I also saw his "style" back then. Not only was he beaten up by the prince, he was still like a grandson, and he kept joking with a calm face!
"Agree with your fate, who has let us be born as daughters? We can't go on the battlefield and drink the blood of the enemy's chief!" Yu Liyan pulled out his short knife he carried with him and looked at him under the lamp.
"Princess, you want to do shime. You can't give up hope until the last moment!" Zhao Xin was shocked, reached out and grabbed Yu Liyan's wrist and said.
"Sister stopped me and I couldn't decide how to survive, but I could decide how to die!" Yu Liyan said with a tragic smile.
"Did you forget that there is still Mr. Zhao? He won't sit idly by and watch them mess around!" Zhao Xin said, snatching the knife from Yu Liyan's hand.
"We will get married in a few days, but where is he? Will he care about our life or death?" Yu Liyan suddenly became excited and shouted almost madly when he mentioned Zhao Er.
"Yes, he will definitely come!" Zhao Xin said, hugging Yu Liyan in his arms and comforting her, but this was more like saying it to ziji...
The sky soon darkened, and the moon seemed to be unable to face the miserable couple on the dressing floor, lanterns were lit everywhere in Fengtai, swaying in the wind to add some brightness to this shijiè
.turánAfter a burst of explosions, dozens of fire dragons rushed into the air with a roar, and another bang exploded. The dark air was immediately filled with gorgeous flowers!
"Sister, look, it's so beautiful!" Yu Liyan shouted excitedly at the fireworks all over the sky, forgetting his worries for the time being.
"Yes, it's so beautiful!" Zhao Xinyang looked at the sky and said, "When Ziji saw the fireworks for the first time in the mansion, she was also excited like her.
The excited Khitan soldiers guarding Fengtai were the Khitan soldiers. The fireworks slowly drifted away, and the sky turned into darkness. When they withdrew their gaze, they suddenly discovered that there was no black clothes beside them.
If a person doesn't wait for him to speak, he will feel a pain in the back of his head and he will be confused.
"Who?" Zhao Xin in front of the window suddenly saw a black shadow flying down from the upper floor and crashing into the window. She took a quick step back and protected the princess behind her and asked sternly. The person who broke in did not answer.
He rubbed his body with a knife and rushed to her face. Zhao Xin pushed the princess away with a wrong step, and thrust his elbow at his lower abdomen.
The man had known that Zhao Xin would make such a move, and he turned around and Zhao Xin made a fuss. He thought it was not good, but unfortunately he used his moves, so he felt that the vest was hit hard and threw it forward.
