At the beginning of the feast, the left and right ranks, the beans have Chu, and the food core is maintained. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info wine and purpose, drinking holes, bells and drums, and the reward is easy.

The so-called wine in the cup, meat in the plate, and toasting are profound, which is nothing more than such a scene in front of you.

When Zhang Zhaohua led this group to the wine banquet, the state and county officials and grain chiefs were pleasantly surprised, because the guests were distinguished guests in the real sense, and he claimed to be Shi Wanghan, the head of the Zhou Dynasty.

King Zhou is the fifth son of His Majesty today, the son of Queen Gao Ma, Hongwu was named King Wu for three years, and later changed to King Zhou, and the fief is here in Kaifeng, Henan.

It is said that the king of Zhou was sent to the domain four years ago, but to this day the officials under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Mansion have not seen the figure of this vassal king, including the state officials here, when asked, Wang Han apologized on behalf of him: "The palace has not yet been built, when the site was originally selected, there was a lot of trouble, and I did not dare to make a decision, and it dragged on for a long time only until the holy decree came down before I dared to construct." In the last few days, it has only been completed seventy or eighty percent. ”

Speaking of this issue of the construction of the Zhou Palace, the state official had heard of it, and said: "I heard that the place where the palace was built is the site of the palace of the Song Dynasty, is it true?"

Wang Han nodded and said, "Not bad." It is precisely because it is the site of the Forbidden City, and I heard that there is still a royal spirit underground, so I dare not construct it. Fortunately, there was no taboo in the Ming Sheng, and he still chose this place to open the house. ”

The guests present then told some anecdotes about the Kaifeng Mansion in the Song Dynasty, took wine and congratulated them, and the guests and hosts drank together.

The governor asked again: "Why do you only see Changshi and not His Royal Highness King Zhou?"

"Your Highness and the three kings of Yan, Chu, and Qi are stationed in Zhongdu to prepare for this year's festival," Wang Han replied, "But the construction period in Kaifeng is approaching, and it can't be left unattended, so they will send me back first." ”

The long history of the royal palace is also very important, and he is in charge of the decrees and internal affairs of the palace.

Chairman Shangwang Han and the state official and grain chief responded with their help, and Zhang Zhaohua, Gao Chi and Gao Xu on the west side of the table worked hard to eat.

Zhang Zhaohua had just stuffed a spoonful of diced chicken into her mouth when she saw that Gao Xu had pulled open all the carrots and only picked large pieces of chicken to eat; when she went to dig again, a plate of chicken was gone.

Not so much - she looked at it again, the brothers ate meat when they saw it, and they didn't even let go of the bacon of the farmer, you must know that this bacon is made by the people in the village themselves, I don't know if it is a problem of pickling or the problem of drying in the end, in short, there is an inexplicable strange smell, although Zhang Zhaohua also loves meat, but he does not eat this bacon.

"Seeing that you are not from an ordinary background, and you are not short of food and clothing," Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help but say: "Why do you look like a starving ghost who hasn't eaten meat for eight hundred years?"

"You don't know, we just took Xiaogong and came out not long ago," Gao Xu said as he spit out the bones in his mouth, and said: "I ran into Meng Dong's ancestor worship again, all of them have to be vegetarian, and they have been tossed for more than eight months, and they haven't touched the meat, and their mouths have faded out of a bird!"

"Second brother," Gao Chi glanced at him disapprovingly, and explained to Zhang Zhaohua: "We are not born rich and noble, our ancestors are actually poor peasants, and our ancestors often say that thrift is to raise morality, and it is appropriate to eat less meat, not to mention that there is no shortage of vegetables and rice." ”

I have heard similar examples of people from well-to-do families, but in order to motivate their children to study hard, they control the amount of meat they eat, and some even stipulate that they are allowed to eat meat only when they read books and are the same as their height.

"What Ling Zu said is very true," Zhang Zhaohua nodded, and asked again: "I take the liberty of asking, the little merit you serve is given-"

"Xiaogong" is one of the "five clothes" for funeral, which is a mourning dress made of cooked linen, which is slightly thinner than "Dagong", so it is called "Xiaogong". This kind of mourning dress is worn for five months, such as for the funeral of the great-grandparents, cousins, and married cousins of the clan, and for the maternal grandparents, maternal uncles, and maternal aunts of the maternal line.

"It's my grandfather who died," the two brothers were a little depressed when they mentioned this: "Just after the New Year, my father and mother took us south to mourn." ”

"Your family is not in Henan," Zhang Zhaohua said, "Then you still want to go back?"

"After the year-end sacrifice, we will leave," Gao Xu said: "I'm not used to the climate in the south, Kaifeng is much better here, and Zhongdu is there, it's really cold and people shiver." ”

These words reminded Zhang Zhaohua of the days when he was studying in college in his previous life, and it was also the northerners who went to the south, and the winter in the south was really difficult.

"So you're from the north?" Zhang Zhaohua said.

"Our home is in the north-" Gao Xu took a piece of duck neck in his mouth, snoring and couldn't say clearly, Gao Chi said: "Our home is in Tongzhou, Northland." ”

"How do you spend the winter there," Zhang Zhaohua didn't know where Tongzhou was, and said, "Do you burn charcoal?"

"Burn," Gao Xu said, "every winter, I have to burn a room of charcoal, the smell is terrible, a little pull, Mars can still jump so high-"

He made an enthusiastic comparison: "The charcoal we use is called stone charcoal, which is so big, like a black ball, and has enough firepower; when we look at it in the south, we know that the bamboo charcoal we use, and the red basket charcoal burned with hardwood, have no smell of smoke, but have a fragrance." ”

"When we asked, we found out that this red basket of charcoal was actually produced here in Tongzhou," Gao Xu said: "Neither the official eunuchs nor the ordinary people in Tongzhou used this red basket charcoal, and they were all transported to the homes of the nobles in Kyoto." ”

As soon as Zhang Zhaohua thought of selling charcoal, he heard Gao Xu say: "We still burn kang in the north in winter, why don't we burn it in the south?"

"Why don't you burn it," Zhang Zhaohua said, "We'll burn it here." ”

Gao Xu was surprised: "You also burn the kang?"

"Our Henan is also the north," Zhang Zhaohua said: "How can northerners not burn kang for winter!"

"How can Henan be the north," Gao Chi shook his head with a smile: "Henan is the Central Plains." ”

"It's the Central Plains," Zhang Zhaohua said: "It's just that it's close to Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, etc., and far from Hunan, Fujian, and Guangdong.

Zhang Zhaohua suddenly remembered something and said: "Look, we northerners can understand what we speak, but it's really incomprehensible to listen to the southern dialect!"

"We can also speak official language," Gao Chi said a few words, and asked with a smile, "Do you understand?"

Zhang Zhaohua was surprised: "Isn't this the Nanjing dialect -- this is the official dialect?"

"This is the official dialect," Gao Chi said: "What we just said was the Nanjing dialect that evolved from the Jinling Yayin of the Six Dynasties, have you heard it before?"

"No," Zhang Zhaohua had heard very similar pronunciations in his previous life, but this was the first time he heard it in his life, and said, "Then what are we talking about now?"

"It's the official dialect of the Central Plains," Gao Chi said with a smile: "There is also a Beiping dialect in our house." ”

"Why do the official dialects of the national dynasty speak Wu Nong's soft language," Zhang Zhaohua was puzzled: "Isn't the Central Plains dialect bad?"

"Yayin is based on the ancient Central Plains, but in view of the fact that the Central Plains region has experienced the Jin and Yuan dynasties, it has already integrated the sounds of the northern peoples, and it is no longer orthodox Yayin," Gao Zhi patiently explained: "That's why the Jianghuai official dialect evolved from the Jinling Yayin of the Six Dynasties was established as the standard Chinese." ”

Zhang Zhaohua understood and nodded yes.
