Chapter 303: Borrowing Seeds
Because Enke has been added this year, Han Qi has also been staying at Li Zhang's house to study hard during this time, Li Zhang thought that he was also at home today, but he didn't expect him to come back from outside, and listening to the meaning of his words, it seems that he has also seen a widow in other places?
"Brother Han, where have you been, and where did you see the widow?" Li Zhang also hurriedly asked at this time, and at the same time he also felt a little strange, usually it is rare to see the Japanese people in the capital, but what is the matter today, everyone has seen the Japanese people, I really don't know how many people have come to this group of Japanese missions?
When Han Qi heard Li Zhang's words, he looked at Li'er and the others, and then smiled awkwardly and said, "This matter is a long story, let's go to my yard and talk about it!" ”
Li Zhang also understood what Han Qi meant when he heard this, so he immediately nodded, and then he instructed Xiuxiu to arrange a place for this widow to live for the time being, and return tomorrow, after all, this woman's dress really does not meet his aesthetics, heavy makeup can be washed off, but her teeth can't be washed white, so she still retreats, so as not to stay at home and scare others.
At the moment, Li Zhang followed Han Qi to the courtyard where he lived, Han Qi lived in the front yard of Li Zhang's house, which was located in the southeast corner of the front yard, in front of the courtyard was a quiet small garden, and the stone path through the garden could enter his yard, so it was also quite quiet here, which was very suitable for Han Qi to study.
After entering the courtyard, Han Qi closed the courtyard door and said with a smile: "Brother Li doesn't know, last time you told me the news of this year's Kaienke, I also notified a few, let them prepare early, today they invited me to go out for a drink, it is a thank you to me, and I encountered a very interesting thing......
With Han Qi's narration, Li Zhang finally knew where he met the Japanese people, it turned out that Han Qi and they went to Mahang Street to drink, and next to Mahang Street was Guozijian, so it was also a gathering place for scholars in the capital, and groups of scholars could often be seen wandering around.
Han Qi and they met in a small tavern, although the food here was not very exquisite, but the portions were very large, and the price was not high, which was very suitable for young and moneyless scholars like them.
This time it was Ouyang Xiu's treat, Ouyang Xiu's family background was the best among several people, and he was bold and generous, plus the news of Kai Enhu had come out now, but they knew it a month earlier than others, so Ouyang Xiu and the others were also very grateful to Han Qi, so they deliberately took the time to thank Han Qi.
However, when Han Qi and his party were talking in the tavern, they didn't expect a commotion outside the tavern, and then they saw many people running in one direction, which made them very curious.
As a result, what Han Qi didn't expect was that the flow of people finally came to the gate of Guozijian, speaking of Guozijian, this is also the highest university in the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately it is not for ordinary people to enter, and it must be recommended by officials of a certain grade to enter, and the number of places recommended by each official is limited, so unless it is a close relative, they are not willing to use the quota easily.
Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu and their gang are not qualified to enter the Guozi Prison, but it does not prevent them from yearning for this place, and when they usually pass by here occasionally, they will also envy them when they see those prison students coming in and out.
However, the target of the flow of people is not Guozijian, but the opposite of Guozijian, speaking of Guozijian There is another interesting fact, that is, directly opposite Guozijian, there are seven green buildings, that is, the highest school in the Great Song Dynasty is opposite the brothel, which is also a great spectacle, but it is normal to think about it, after all, talented and beautiful women are easy to collide with sparks.
Of course, these people are not here to visit the Qinglou, their goal is actually to build a new tent next to the Qinglou, this tent is set up by the Japanese people, which are all Japanese women, ordinary people need to pay money to enter, of course, if this is not enough to attract people, but this group of Japanese people played a signboard, the prisoners of the Guozijian, and the scholars who entered Beijing to participate in the imperial examination are free.
Free things have always been the most attractive, not to mention women, and these women are still very rare widows, so they have attracted a lot of good deeds, and even shouted at the Guozijian to let the prisoners come out, after all, people have come from all the way to the country, and it is free, and the men of the Great Song Dynasty cannot retreat at this time.
Li Zhang finally couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and after a long while, he looked at Han Qi and asked, "Brother Han, aren't you just a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, people don't want money, don't you want to go in?" ”
"Brother Li, don't be joking, those widows are dressed strangely, even their teeth are black, it is really unbearable to look at directly, even the most romantic Uncle Yong shook his head when he saw it, and the gate of Guozijian was closed, no one wanted to go at all, after all, this matter is really a little weird." Han Qi couldn't help but wave his hand again and again when he heard Li Zhang's ridicule.
"What's so strange about this, the Japanese people are just borrowing seeds, I heard that this kind of thing often happens in the southern coastal area." Li Zhang smiled again at this time, and then explained to Han Qi the origin of the borrowing of seeds by the Japanese people.
It turned out that the economy and culture of the Great Song Dynasty were prosperous, which also led to the surrounding countries being proud of learning from the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, there were some peculiar customs, and borrowing seeds was one of them, because they thought that the reason why the Great Song Dynasty was so prosperous was mainly because the people of the Great Song Dynasty were good, so some small countries moved their minds crookedly, and they sent their own women to the border of the Great Song Dynasty to seduce the men of the Great Song Dynasty to have sex with them, so as to get pregnant and give birth to children, so as to improve their own race.
This situation is not only in the Japanese state, but also in the northwest and southwest of the small countries and tribes, but this kind of fact is not in the hall of elegance, generally only circulated in private, not many people know this, Li Zhang also knew these from the history books of later generations.
Han Qi was also shocked after listening to Li Zhang's story, and after a while, he said a little speechlessly: "Brother Li, if these women are pregnant with our Song children, how will they marry in the future?" ”
"The Japanese women do not have the concept of chastity of our Song women, after they are pregnant with the children of the Song people, not only will they not be discriminated against, but it is easier to marry, and the children born are raised by their husbands as their own children, anyway, the children do not know their own background, and the Japanese people are too short, our Song people are tall, and the children they give birth to are also taller and more handsome, which is much stronger than their own children." Li Zhang laughed again at this time.
