Chapter 293: Take a Good Bath
Sima Lun was mediocre and had no wisdom and strategy, so he gave an order in person, but fortunately he was stopped by Sun Xiu outside, saying that this matter should be discussed in the long run.
When Sima Lun returned to his dormitory, he found that Sun Xiu was waiting there, and immediately laughed and said, "Xiu'er, I was looking for you, why do you look unhappy, come, let the master kiss you." ”
Sun Xiu didn't flirt with Sima Lun as usual, his face was pale, "Does Duke Ming want to be the Duke of Zhou, or is it an allusion to the Cao family in the previous dynasty?"
Sima Lun naturally knew what Sun Xiu was alluding to, and said pretendly, "Of course it's Duke Zhou, now the traitors in the DPRK and China are rampant......"
Sun Xiu sneered, "Duke Ming wants to be the Duke of Zhou, but this prince is not a king, Sima Shu is smart and strong, if the crown prince is reinstated, he will not be controlled by others." And Ming Gong has a heavy army, this is a well-known thing for passers-by, what should be done afterwards?
Although the Duke of Ming has meritorious service, but there is also a meritorious and high Lord said that although the prince endures the old grudge, he will not be grateful to the Duke of Ming, and if there is a slight mistake in the future, he will definitely be poisoned. ”
Sima Lun's face changed greatly, "Huangkou Xiao'er dares to do this?"
Sun Xiu sneered, "Is there still less allusion to the death of the cunning rabbit and the lackey? Ming Gong's move, presumably because he listened to Zhang Bin's bewitchment, Zhang Bin only had the court in his heart, but he didn't understand Ming Gong's painstaking efforts to help the world, and on the surface, Ming Gong Kuang helped the prince, but in fact, Ming Gong was in a dilemma. ”
Sima Lun thought for a while and said, "Zhang Bin's matter is another matter, in your opinion, what should it be?"
Sun Xiu whispered: "There is a big opportunity in front of us. ”
As the de facto controller of King Zhao's forces, Sun Xiu also has his own sources.
Crossing the group to make trouble in Kim Yong City, the news that the Royal Forest Army tracking them was scared crazy has long been spread, and Sun Xiu naturally knows it, coupled with Zhang Xiaoming's statement, the comparison between the two can naturally get first-hand information.
Sun Xiu and Sima Lun believe in witches and ghosts, listen to the evil words, although they don't see Yang Pingfan's wings, but they ride a horse alone, wearing leopard print clothes, and the arrogant monkey Xiaoliu has seen it, so they are convinced of the fact that the Dapeng Golden-winged Bird is saving people under the seat, and at this moment they naturally want to persuade Sima Lun to try his best to win over the crossing group and rebel, and the more capable people are, the better.
Sima Lun had no opinion, and was ridiculed by Sun Xiu, so he changed his mind and ordered to reward the people in the crossing group, and at the same time demoted Zhang Bin, the captain of the army, to the grain officer.
The four of them lived in the best guest room of the inn, and there was a special bathroom, and the maids set up a brass bathtub in the bathroom and poured boiling hot water, which opened the eyes of everyone.
The maids also had to help the distinguished guests change their clothes and serve the bath, and they were sent off by the three gentlemen, and everyone was not open to this extent.
Li Donglai, who was next to him, ran into the brass bathtub, breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed that this King Zhao of Laoshizi was really a luxury in the army, not to mention the brass bathtub, even the maids could carry it with the army.
Zhang Xiaoming's face was solemn, and he rarely did not rub oil on the maids.
Yang Pingfan also soaked in the bathtub, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ming, what's the matter with you, this is not like your style?"
Zhang Xiaoming said in a low voice: "Have you noticed that almost none of these maids are women from the Han family, they are all Hu people. ”
Yang Pingfan glanced out of the screen when he heard this, and found that these maids were all high-nosed and deep-eyed, with brown or brown-yellow hair, and fair skin, and they were indeed not Han women.
"It is now the last year of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the Hu and Han are seriously mixed, and it is normal for Sima Lun to get a few Hu maids for himself. ”
Yang Pingfan recalled the historical knowledge of the Western Jin Dynasty, soaked his whole body in hot water, and let out a satisfied hum.
"If you recall it carefully, you will find that there are many Hu people in Sima Lun's army. ”
Li Donglai on the side frowned, "Indeed, as soon as I entered the barracks, I smelled a fishy smell, a bunch of blonde, blue-eyed, high-nosed, deep-eyed Hu people, if I wasn't often beaten and scolded by the Han people, I would have thought I had traveled to Europe." ”
The Hu maid was next to them to help them pour hot water, and the three of them spoke in modern Mandarin, so they didn't have to worry about leaking secrets.
"I remember, it is. ”
Zhang Xiaoming sighed, "The Yongjia Rebellion, the Five Nonsense Rebellion, I know it." ”
Yang Pingfan smiled, "So you are worried about this, I said, you shouldn't forget our purpose, right?"
"Of course I remember, I started preparing for it a long time ago. ”
"Hook up with the abolished prince, support him to ascend to the throne, and then develop cross-era technology, crush the natives, and change history?"
"Isn't that so?"
Yang Pingfan glanced at him, "Everything we do will become game materials, the background filling of brain networking, I believe that players prefer to be direct and stimulating, your method is too slow, players will not like it." ”
Zhang Xiaoming was stunned, "Then what do you say?"
"Let's take a bath first, I'll tell you later." ”
Yang Pingfan smiled mysteriously, closed his eyes and enjoyed the kneading of the Hu maid.
This bath soaked for more than an hour, during which the maids kept changing the water to ensure the temperature, and everyone had to get up until their skin was white and wrinkled, and changed into clean clothes, and the four of them enjoyed melons and fruits in the hall, because the next person reported that the newly appointed prince would set up a banquet for them to catch the wind and wash the dust.
Li Lan was bored and wrapped her hair around her fingers in circles, and Xiao Liu rarely stayed quietly by her side.
"I didn't expect the ancients to like bathing so much, I thought that the ancient fuel was insufficient, and taking a hot bath was a luxury. ”
Zhang Xiaoming carefully picked a white pastry and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely.
"Hunger to eat, sleepiness, dirt to clean, this is the life content that civilized people will have, only after bathing, can people be clean and hygienic. The Chinese, no more than the Europeans of the Middle Ages, were proud of not bathing. Since the pre-Qin period, the ancients have formed the custom of washing their hair every three days and bathing every five days.
In ancient times, the aristocracy, as representatives of the upper class, needed a neat appearance to match their prestige.
"The Second Chronicle of Liang Benji" records that Emperor Xiao Gang of Liang Jianwen of the Southern Dynasty was particularly fond of bathing, and also wrote three volumes of Liang's "Bathing Sutra", vigorously advocating bathing, which can be called the earliest bathing monograph in China.
The "Book of Rites and Jade Bath" once prescribed a set of procedures for bathing, first changing clothes, then drenching the body with hot water, putting on special cloth clothes to keep the body dry, and drinking some drinks during the time to quench thirst.
This kind of bathing can only be done by people above the middle class, and it should be said that it is a procedure for the nobles to bathe, and the poor people cannot enjoy it.
The ancients also had the custom of changing clothes when bathing, "Chu Ci Fisherman" cloud: "The new bather must play the crown, and the new bather must change clothes." ”
In the Jin Dynasty, the aristocracy had taken bathing as an important part of personal cleanliness and hygiene, and they had to change their clothes when bathing according to the ancient customs.
Liu Yiqing, a native of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, recorded in "The World Speaks New Language and Virtuous Yuan", the general Huan Chong likes to bathe, because he is thrifty and does not like to wear new clothes.
After a Huan Chong bath, he deliberately gave him new clothes.
Huan Chong angrily urged to take it away, and his wife said, "There are no new clothes, where are the old clothes." Huan Chong laughed when he heard this, and put on his new clothes. Huan Chong bathed, his wife gave clothes, and regardless of new clothes and old clothes, people had to change their clothes after taking a bath, and it was naturally much more comfortable to change into clean clothes.
However, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was an era of flamboyant human nature, as the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu said in the poem "Runzhou": "Most of the Southern Dynasties are all vast, and the poor Eastern Jin Dynasty is the most romantic." ”
In such an era, different people have different attitudes towards bathing, one is not good to bathe, the other is bathing addiction, and go to extremes.
Bian Bin, a person who was wronged by Jiyin in the Southern Dynasty, was a person who was arrogant and arrogant, but Bian Bin was "careless in bathing and brushing, and lost time in the bath", which caused a lot of lice on his body, although the itch was unbearable, he still did not bathe, and claimed that he could also survive unharmed.
He Tongzhi, a Qi man in the Southern Dynasty, is also addicted to bathing, this gentleman was born in a famous aristocratic family, the teacher is independent, strong and specialized, and he reads more than 300 articles on etiquette, which are slightly catchy.
In addition to being famous in history, He Tongzhi wants to make him show off because he has a bathing habit, the history books say that he is a good human nature, often within a day, to take a bath more than a dozen times, almost all day long bathing is not enough, because He Tong a day more than ten washes, the people of the time gave him a well-known local nickname called "water prostitution".
Bathing and purifying, paying attention to cleanliness and hygiene, this is a good habit of life, however, He Tongzhi seems to be a little excessive, taking a bath more than a dozen times a day, such a person is indeed rare in the world, therefore, when Li Yanshou of the Tang Dynasty wrote the biography of He Tongzhi in the "History of the South", he prominently wrote about He Tong's bathing fetish. This point really made He Tongzhi out of the limelight, and the Mingren Li Zhen and Feng Menglong talked about He Tongzhi's bathing in their works. ”
Li Lan gave everyone a general education about the past of the ancients bathing, and a military servant came in and told him that because the prince occasionally felt the cold, King Zhao and Lord Xima had to accompany him, so the evening reception banquet could not be opened, please Haihan Yunyun.
Zhang Xiaoming stood up angrily when he heard this, "Sima...... The prince occasionally felt a cold, wasn't he quite fine when he came with us?"
Without waiting for the military servant to answer, Yang Pingfan waved his hand at him, "It's okay, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rest well, let's go see him later." ”
The military servant wiped his cold sweat to express his gratitude, and then waved his hand, and the sergeant behind him rushed in, put a banquet for everyone, and couldn't stop apologizing, Yang Pingfan waved him down.
"Brother Fan, this shouldn't be a conspiracy, is it that Sima Lun wants to take the opportunity to get Sima Shu?"
As soon as he saw the military servants retreating, Zhang Xiaoming couldn't wait to ask.
"That's not going to happen, Sima Lun hasn't done that yet, as far as I guess, I guess I put us aside and discussed with Sima Shu privately how to counterattack Luoyang. ”
After listening to Yang Pingfan's words, Li Donglai was puzzled: "If you want to send troops to Luoyang, why don't you discuss with us, we have finally rescued the prince and sent him to King Zhao." ”
