Chapter 42 Receiving Gifts
Arc bows are both strong bows, starting at least thirty stones. The difference between the two is that the king bow is domineering, while arc bows are more agile, both belong to one of the six bows.
Although it is not uncommon to choose wood from Mount Lu, horns of rhino, and bamboo from fiefs, these ordinary materials will be given new life through processing and bonding in the hands of craftsmen.
Ji She was amazed. Compared to the experts, his craftsmanship is completely a show of excellence and is not a good place. Watching Siqu’s work is a kind of enjoyment, which is definitely not just technology, but also a realm.
Even the dragon girl and the bell were watching, and of course the taxi and savage children in the fiefs gathered outside the fence and were more lively than celebrating the Laba Festival.
Laba Festival is the Spring Festival of the Western Zhou Dynasty. There is no concept of the Spring Festival yet. The so-called Laba Festival is to worship eight ancestors and gods, and do not drink Laba porridge. It is just because it is held in the twelfth lunar month of the Xia calendar, that is, the last month of the lunar calendar, so it is called Laba Festival, which is a festival to worship eight gods on the twelfth lunar month.
As for the specific period of Laba Festival in the twelfth lunar month, it depends on the situation and is decided by the princes themselves.
So Laba Festival is considered the Spring Festival of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Si Qu was not frightened when he showed his skills in front of everyone, and devoted himself to his work, often sweating profusely without realizing it.
In order to make the old man have the energy, Yunyao also invested a lot of money, with salted fish and bacon, and every meal was full of salted fish and bacon. Si Qu didn't care. In the past, the nobles invited him to spend even more money, and eating some salted fish and bacon by himself was cheaper for her.
Because the salt supplement is enough, the old man has a good mental state and is full of energy every day. He and his disciples now live in Xiangnan's thatched cottage, while He Ling moved to Yunyao's room. After all, they have to practice dual cultivation at night.
After the arc bow is formed, it is necessary to continuously adjust to ensure that the forces on both sides are the same when drawing the bow, so as to avoid uneven force on the bow strings, causing the arrow to float randomly.
In fact, archery is really important to the feel. After all, bows are handmade without precision calibration. The arrows shot are as they go anywhere. Only after using and running-in can you truly master the character of a bow.
However, before the bow was completed, Yunyao welcomed a luxurious guest.
The girl Zhang brought a convoy of people to thank Yunyao for her life-saving grace.
"Why are you so polite?" Yunyao didn't expect that the other party sent a large amount of Xiaomi and cloth coins. How did she collect it? Their warehouse was not so spacious, with a full three cars and a car of groceries.
"If you hadn't saved me, I would not have avenged my brother. This is what you deserve." Zhang Nu changed a lot. She was no longer the little girl who was worried about gains and losses, and she became strong and decisive.
"Then I'm not polite." Yun Yao said. She was a little strange because she found that two familiar women were also in the convoy. On the day of the accident, Yun Yao transported two groups of people across the river. The first group was a pair of women who looked like mother and daughter. Now they were actually in Zhang Nu's team.
This is a coincidence. Yunyao has a very good memory and will definitely not remember it wrong. I remember that at the beginning, Nun Zhang's brother was very alert and was just guarding against outsiders, worried that someone would behave badly to them.
strangeness.
However, Yunyao did not show it, but seemed flattered, and then took the money unceremoniously.
"Even if you save someone, you shouldn't receive so many gifts." Ji Jiang felt that Yunyao was a bit too much. He gave too many gifts, and his value was almost beyond Yunyao's fief.
"Of course I have to accept it, so that people all over the world will know that saving people will be rewarded, and they will follow me one after another, so that the world's atmosphere will become better." Yun Yao said this was what Confucius said a thousand years later. He accepted these precious gifts entirely to promote social integrity, set up a moral role model, and let people all over the world follow themselves and do more good deeds.
This?! Not only Ji Jiang, but also others were stunned. They had never considered the issue of influence. They didn't expect that Yun Yao could tell the truth when saving people and receiving gifts. It was indeed extraordinary.
Si Qu even smiled and said, "Now I believe you really have a good reputation. Your deeds have spread in the capital of the country." Because the song "Zhu Nu Kemu Yulong" by his master has spread, the cause and effect are very clear, and the core is such a noble idea of "doing the way for heaven", it spreads very quickly and has been recorded in the national history by the historians of the State of Lu.
In the eyes of the Western Zhou people, this story is very exciting, and the core idea conveyed is also very consistent with the current spiritual outlook of the Western Zhou Dynasty. After all, just a while ago, Zhou also killed the Shang Dynasty for Tianxingdao, and used the righteousness to defeat evil, which was exactly the same as the poetry.
Yunyao himself didn't know that he was famous anymore.
Si Qu thought Yunyao was very interesting: "You have a unique idea of looking at the world, but it also has a awakening keenness."
"The father-in-law has gone too far."
Mrs. Zhang wanted to live there, so the car surrounded a simple city wall and then set up a simple tent inside. Because the temperature is not low, there is no need to worry about catching a cold at night.
The leather tent was covered with thin silk, and warmed fire to prevent mosquitoes. Zhang was a child of a rich family. He married rich people now. He traveled very grandly. Even different foods were carried by different people. He brought fifty retainers when traveling.
Now there has been news from the Song State that the Zhang family’s small clan, who dares to test the bottom line of the Zhou ritual, has been killed. The Zhang family’s property was inherited by Zhang Nu. Except for the loss of the title, there is no shortage of money.
So Zhang's daughter is rich and even her husband's family has to give her face. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the dowry belonged to the woman's private property, and the husband's family had no right to intervene, so a woman with more dowry has a higher status in the husband's family, and less dowry has a lower status. Now all the property and fief of the Zhang family have become Zhang's dowry. Her status in the husband's family is higher than that of her husband, and her parents-in-law treats her even more with her own son.
So Ms. Zhang took out so much property to thank Yunyao, and her husband didn't dare to say a word, because Ms. Zhang's property would be spent as much as she wanted.
Luxury, Yunyao found that Zhang had a refrigerator next to him. To be precise, it was a bronze tripod filled with ice, with fruits and fresh fish inside.
This is a sashimi. Yunyao realized that the real life of the nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty was also something she could not imagine.
I don’t envy you. I want to cultivate immortality and see through the world. Yunyao hypnotizes herself to avoid being jealous. In fact, there is no need for her to be jealous, because the nobles are so easy to show off, and they usually eat like that.
"You're welcome, eat." Zhang Nu invited Yunyao to her tent. The retainers performed their duties, and each retainer had a job. The number of retainers also shows that the Zhang Nu's family is indeed rich to a certain extent.
What made Yunyao care about was the two familiar strangers. While eating fruits and sashimi, he quietly observed them, worried that they would be unfavorable to Nun Zhang.
"It's better to let the two Zhuyou witches tell us fortunes." As they were chatting, Zhang began to engage in feudal superstition again.
Yunyao knew that she was the one from Song, and even was divining before getting married, but she didn't expect to come now?
