Tao Bao raised his hand with a dull gaze, "I'm fine." "It's just that I'm flipping through the information, and the visual nerves can't keep up.

"Are you really okay? Is there anything else you feel uncomfortable with? Why don't I go find Lady Fang Su and show it to you? The girl's eyes were full of worry, and she looked at Tao Bao's dull gaze again, and was actually about to go out.

"Wait a minute!" Tao Bao hurriedly called out to stop the person, and at the same time, the information was received and digested, and he got up and stretched out his hand to pull the person.

"Sister Baozi?" The girl was very worried, "Why are you up?" ”

"Ji Xiang, I'm fine, really." Tao Bao shook his head and smiled, pulling Ji Xiang, who was still confused, back and kneeling at the low table again.

There are two plates of dim sum on the table, according to the information, these two plates of dim sum are called peach branches and guixin respectively, Tao Bao doesn't know if they are delicious or not, but the two plates in front of her look very delicious.

This was her dinner, and in the Heian period, the social class was strict, and generally the aristocracy only ate two meals a day, and the meal time was strict.

The staple food is rice, and there is also a kind of tun food. There was porridge and dry rice, but Emperor Tenmu ordered a ban on eating cows, horses, dogs, apes, and chickens during the Asuka period, and Emperor Shomu issued a ban on eating cows and horses during the Nara period.

So in the Heian period, people had developed the habit of not eating animal meat, so Tao Bao would not have been able to eat meat for dinner today.

In Inari Taisha, breakfast and dinner are very strict, if it weren't for the special illness and now that it's past dinner time, Tao Bao wouldn't have had dinner.

The girl next to her is called Ji Xiang, one of the many shrine maidens in Inari Taisha, who has just turned fourteen years old and has not yet made a coming-of-age ceremony.

And Tao Bao is eighteen years old here, she is already an adult girl, and she is also one of the witches, she usually takes care of Ji Xiang very much, and the relationship between the two is very good.

With all the information in his mind, Tao Bao had confidence in his heart, and directly took a plate of dim sum and handed it to Ji Xiang, and said with a smile:

"Song Yao, br/>

"Sister Baozi, this is your dinner, Ji Xiang has already used it, sister, you can keep it for yourself." Ji Xiang lowered her head shyly, she was introverted and would not refuse people, she was worried that Sister Baozi would keep persuading her, and she was a little panicked.

However, Tao Bao did not persuade again, but twisted a piece and sent it to her mouth, jokingly:

"Quick! If you don't eat it, you're going to sprinkle it. ”

Ji Xiang didn't expect her to come to this show, first embarrassed, and finally remembered that she couldn't waste food, so she hurriedly opened her small mouth and bit the snack in.

This snack is soft and sweet, how can a girl not love it? Ji Xiang is no exception, although she has already eaten it, it does not prevent her from eating a little more at the moment.

Surrounded by the sweetness of the dim sum, the girl showed a satisfied smile, puffed out her little face and thanked Tao Bao vaguely, and tasted it carefully.

Seeing her eat, Tao Bao was relieved, he ate one piece by one unhurriedly, and persuaded Ji Xiang to eat a piece from time to time, and the laughter of a young girl like a silver bell came from time to time in the small townhouse.

As the sun sets, the foothills of Mount Inari are printed red, and the green smoke floats out repeatedly, making it a little hazy, like a fairyland on earth.

Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine is located at the foot of Mt. Inari in Kusayachi-cho, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City, and is the headquarters of all Inari Taisha shrines in Japan, and has been established for more than 200 years.

Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine is dedicated to the gods of Inari, led by the god of Uga's soul, and has been a god of agriculture and commerce since ancient times, and the shrine is one of the most popular shrines in the Kyoto area due to the large number of pilgrims who come to the shrine every year to pray for good weather, prosperous business, and traffic safety.

At the same time as the incense was at its peak, there were naturally many shrine maidens who needed to be guarded, and in the Taisha Shrine, except for the great shrine maidens who managed various affairs, there were more than 100 shrine maidens left.

Among the more than 100 people, there are only ten who really practice witchcraft, or the way of yin and yang, and they are taught by the great witch in charge He Mao Fangsu, and Ji Xiang and Tao Bao are two of the ten disciples.

Here I have to mention the He Mao clan, the He Mao clan was originally in charge of the calendar, but since the current head of the family He Mao Zhongxing, he has mastered the calendar, astronomy and Yin Yang Dao at the same time, and he has taken over the Yin and Yang Dao, and the He Mao clan has also become the Yin and Yang Dao clan.

The Great Witch was born in the Hemao family, although she is only a side woman, but she has had an excellent Yin and Yang Dao talent since she was a child, and after leaving the school, she came out alone to take care of the Taisha, and her status is noble.

At that time, in the Heian period, the status of women was high, mainly to look at the mother's family, usually the marriage was the man's shàngmén, the larger the mother's support group, the higher the status of the woman.

Although men can still be polygamous, not all wives live with them, and most women live in their mother's home, which is a peculiar phenomenon left over from the rapid transition from matrilineal to patrilineal societies.

The status of women in this era was far higher than in other eras, after all, a few decades earlier, there had been an era of female emperors, and the status of women was naturally revived.

Unconsciously, night hit, Tao Bao and Ji Xiang solved all the snacks together, Ji Xiang took the initiative to clean up, planning to take it to the kitchen to clean, Tao Bao called her and said with a smile:

"Wait a minute, Ji Xiang mèimèi, let's go together, I just want to go out for a walk."

"Well, that's good, Ji Xiang will wait for you at the door first." Ji Xiang nodded, went out first, put on red rope straw sandals and waited outside the door.

Tao Bao got up according to the rules here, got up and put on the white and red rope gown on the hanger, pinned the sword bell on the low table in front of the hanger, and finally tied his hair behind his head with a red headband, then walked out of the house, put on his shoes, closed the door and walked to the kitchen with Ji Xiang.

The night tonight was very beautiful, and there was a white mist on the foothills not far away, and from time to time some animals made noises, which made Tao Bao, a newcomer, feel very mysterious and surprised.

Remembering the sound of running water he heard earlier, Tao Bao turned his head to look to the left, and sure enough, he saw a small stream, gurgling water, and the moonlight was sprinkled down, reflecting the bright light of the water.

The houses were built next to a stream, and were connected by a promenade. The promenade is lit with red lanterns, illuminating this long road and making it easy for pedestrians to walk.

There is also a stone road in the middle of the house that extends in all directions, and compared to the promenade, the shrine maidens prefer to walk it when it is not raining, not only can enjoy the scenery, but also the space is large, and it does not seem crowded when the shrine maidens gather together in twos and threes.

Ji Xiang led Tao Bao down the stone road, carrying a food box in her left hand and a huángsè lantern in her right hand.

The most talked-about were Her Majesty the Queen, who had just left, and her eldest daughter, Prince Jing Yane.

She said in front with great interest, and Tao Bao listened silently in the back, echoing a few words or asking some questions from time to time, and the two chatted like this and walked to the big kitchen.
