1.69 Stuffed to Sumire

In the "Four People's Moon Order", it is said that in October, the wall was built and stuffed to the Sumire.

The first sentence is easy to understand, and there is no need to say more. The latter sentence is from the Book of Songs.

There is a sentence in the "Book of Songs": "The dome suffocates the smoked rat and stuffs it into the Sumire". It means using fireworks to smoke the rats out of the wall, completely plugging the rat holes, and then blocking the cracks in the doors.

After a bumper harvest, beware of rodent infestation, nature is the key. However, Lou Sang is not only hard to find, but also rare voles. The reason for this is because of the bedding. The cheapest hemp mats are glued with rat glue. Rat's gum is boiled with rat skin. There is no essential difference with bovine glue. The key is that rats are large and can be seen everywhere, which is not as precious as cowhide, so the price is low.

Rats, birds, and snakes are all expert. Huang Xu is one. Such a daily search, not to mention Lousang Village, even in the nearby townships, the rodent infestation has gradually disappeared.

Liu Bei could only buy from farther away.

At the end of October, the yellow horse gave birth again.

Because it is a descendant of a green horse, the coat color is pale and mixed, and the mother said that it is a green horse.

It doesn't matter if it's a green horse or not, the important thing is that the foal is not a pure white horse. That's the point. Gongsun Zhan, who came in a hurry, was disappointed. Disappointed, but surprised by the great changes in Lou Sang. Said, Northland County, unsurpassed.

This made Liu Bei very proud.

In addition to Soma, Gongsun Chan also has a purpose, which is to apprentice. The news that the great Confucian Lu Zhi opened a lecture in Lousang has spread to Zhuo County. Gongsun Zhan, who was wandering around in Zhongma City in the county all day long, was preached by his father, so he rushed to apprentice.

Seeing that the heavy snow is closing the road, how reluctant it must be to come to apprenticeship at this time.

Liu Bei shook his head and let him be.

is worthy of being a noble child, holding a name card that I don't know who it is, Gongsun Chan worships under Lu Zhi's door as he wishes. He was employed in the same hall as Liu Bei's brothers Liu Wen, Liu Xiu, Chen Ben and others.

As he wished, he obtained Lou Sang's bedding skills, and I thought that Shi Wei would come to resign. Unexpectedly, at his own expense, he transformed the tea house into a majestic three-story teahouse. The tea soup that was originally sold was also changed to Liu Bei's clear tea.

Is this to stay here for a long time?

The teahouse not only has tea, but also pastries and snacks, and all kinds of fresh preserved fruits.

On the right side of the building, there is also a group of six musicians. It is divided into two rows, with three women in the front and two women and one man in the back, playing the piano, playing the sheng, percussion, singing, high-five, etc. All the women wore their hair tied behind and dressed in red. The appearance is magnificent.

After Liu Bei read it, he couldn't help blurting out: Why not tell the story?

Shi Yi hurriedly asked, what is storytelling.

Liu Bei scratched his head and said: Storytelling is to tell some legends and old things. Compile those well-known folklore, historical stories, biographies, etc., into a book, paint and tell them. It's called storytelling.

Shiyi is talented and intelligent, and he is well-read in a series of books, so he can understand it at all. Liu Bei started up, and she already knew. Liu Bei also said that storytelling should be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar. The language should not be too formal, and many vernacular sayings can be included in the book.

Don't be too esoteric. Genres don't need to be rigid about form. Pangu opens the sky, Nuwa creates people, Jingwei reclamation, Kuafu chases the sun, Dayu controls the water, works together to hit the mountain, Nuwa makes up the sky, Houyi shoots the sun, and Chang'e runs to the moon. Even the stories on "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "The Biography of Mu Tianzi", "Lü's Spring and Autumn", and "Huainanzi" are OK. The only thing that needs to be the main thing is that don't use the past to satirize the present, accuse Sang and scold Huai, and say some slanderous and rebellious words.

With this in mind, Shi Yi began to compile the first manuscript of the story.

Before the heavy snow closed the road, Cui Jun also came. There are also leading moves. When the merchant ship entered the port, they were startled. Is this really Lou Sang?

The Cheonggye Ferry has also changed dramatically. I saw a strange high-rise building sitting on the shore. The long cross arms reach out to the stream. The fixed pulley, thick hemp rope and hanging basket installed on it can directly lift the cargo in the cabin. With the help of water and axles, the crossarm is pushed to turn, and the goods are moved to the dock and directly onto the ox cart. It saves time and effort. When it is necessary to return the boom to the surface of the water, as long as the axle is disconnected, the stone that was previously lifted in the air by hydraulic power will fall on its own, pulling the boom back. It is very easy to operate.

I asked Fang Zhi, this is called a tower crane.

It is also Liu Bei's latest invention. It is said to have been inspired by jié gāo, a tool for drawing water that originated in the Shang Dynasty. It is said that Liu Bei also designed a bridge-type heavy crane across the river, but it could not be realized for the time being due to the difficulty of manufacturing guide rails and pulleys.

On Qingxi Port, in addition to the newly built wharf, there is also a mansion (warehouse) that rises from the ground and covers a wide area. For the purpose of lodging, storing and trading goods for merchants.

Leaving the port along a bluestone road, the ridges and Qianmo in the past are all gone. The roads under your feet are paved with brick ridges. The thatched houses in the low courtyard were all replaced by heavy walls. The familiar villagers were scattered in the bustling flow of people, and it was impossible to distinguish them for a while. Looking around at the high-rise buildings and shops, Cui Jun blinked fiercely.

"This is Lou Sang?"

"I'm weird too." I haven't seen him for a year, and I've grown taller again. Holding the pergola in his hand, he saw the Wuzhang Sang in front of Liu Bei's door from a distance, and said with a smile: "It's indeed Lou Sang!" ”

Until he saw Liu Bei, Cui Jun was still in a trance.

The back hall became an atrium. The heavy eaves hall house was replaced by a seven-storey building. There are three steps in front of the corridor to reach the building, surrounded by a guardrail, and three entrances to the east and west. Liu Bei is standing on the east step of the central entrance.

According to the "Book of Rites: Qu Rite No. 1": "The host enters the right and the guest enters the left." The host is on the east step, and the guest is on the west step. If the guest is demoted, he will be at the level of the master. The host resigned, and then returned to the west steps. Therefore, it is the rule of etiquette that the host is east and the guest is west.

The so-called demotion means that the status of the guest is lower than that of the host. The host is courteous to the guest, let it go to the west steps. Because the guest is inferior to the host, he must be humble and want to enter after the host. If the host is fixed, the guest can return to the left, and the guest will do it.

He also said: "The master and the guest let the board, the master boarded first, the guest followed, picked up the steps and gathered the feet, and walked above." If you go up the east step, you will have the right foot first, and if you go up the west step, you will have the left foot first. "The master gives the guest resignation (mutual humility), and the host then takes the first step, and the guest follows it, step by step, not ahead, not backward. The main foot is opened, and the guest foot is falling, which is a joint step. Go up the east step and step on your right foot first. If you go up the west steps, you will first step with your left foot.

Again: "Don't practice, don't hesitate, pick your clothes and tend to the corner, you must be cautious." "You must not step on the shoes that the first entrant has taken off, but you must enter the table from the front, and you must sit through the corner of the seat with your clothes lifted, and you must be careful and respectful in your words and questions.

He also said, "And sit on the humerus." Do not kneel, do not sit. "Two or more people should sit side by side, not with their arms crossed. Invite someone else to sit, and you will sit. Stand up, and you will stand up.

These are all etiquettes that scholars need to learn.

Etiquette comes from a tutor. Liu Bei is winning glory for his mother.

The host and guest are seated. Hearing Liu Bei's call, Cui Jun, who was in a trance all the way, came back to his senses: "Brother Xian is a good method." ”

Liu Bei smiled and raised his glass: "Brother praises." ”

"There is no need to be too humble. What Lou Sang looks like, the foolish brother knows everything. Now the world has been turned upside down, if it is not a virtuous brother, how can it be like this? ”
