Seeing Li Zhi looking at herself with a straight eye, Princess Taiping was overjoyed, but in the face of a room full of people, she didn't want to show anything, so she took off her hat and asked the master's family:

"Patriarch Seungsu, this hat is extremely warm, and I see that there are a lot of valuable furs in your tribe, why don't you be willing to sew some for the children here?"

Along the way, he saw many people, especially inside and outside the courtyard, there were more children timidly watching the guests, all of them with red faces from the cold, and some of them wore fur hats, which were also of extremely cheap dog skin hats.

The beggar Chengzhu smiled and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't know, fox skin and mink hats can't be worn by children, it generates high heat, and it is easy to hurt children's eyes." Wolfskin, catskin, and rabbit fur hats also fall off badly, even though the fur is soft and beautiful, it is just as easy to get into the eyes! ”

Not only the peace, but also the visitors in the customs are all stunned, and everything has its doorway in it, which is the benefit of experience.

The house where it is currently located is a typical northeast hunter courtyard, the door of the house is open on the east side and not in the middle, the one that enters the door is the stove room, and the west side of the living room is two or three rooms connected, and the length of the north and south kang and the house is equal, commonly known as even three kangs.

Because it is for people to live and sit and lie down, the kang surface is more than five feet wide, and it is also called "the big kang in the north and south" or "the kang on the opposite side", and the west kang in the front is narrower for placing items.

The open space between the kang is called the "house land", and in fact, most of the flat space in the room is occupied by the kang, so people's indoor life is mainly on the kang.

When guests come in the house, please first sit on the kang; On weekdays, eating, reading and writing are all on the kang table.

At this moment, the main guests are crowded on a huge kang in the south, and there is a short-legged square table in the middle, and there are more than 20 kinds of hazelnuts, pine nuts, pecans, sticky bean buns, frozen pears, sticky corn, etc.

The kang has always been very popular here, it is not only a sleeping facility, but also a heating facility, when building a house, it is not satisfied with the south side to build the kang, but all sides to build it.

The people here are all old and young generations living in the same room in the big family, the south kang is the place where the elders of the family live because of the warmth of the sun, close to the side of the kang pot stove, is its hottest "kang head" position, for the highest master or distinguished guests in the family to sleep, the north kang is the younger generation of the family to live, or for drying grain.

Therefore, the West Kang is a place for gods and ancestors, and no one is allowed to sit; Nankang was a place for the elderly to sleep, and Li Yiyi and his party were led there.

Princess Taiping was not pretentious, took off her shoes, squeezed to Li Zhi's side, and took off the entire scarf made of fox skin, showing it to him.

Seeing that just one face, the beggar Chengzhu gave away such a precious thing, but Princess Taiping was in charge, and I am afraid that there are thousands of taels of silver.

Li Zhi did not avoid people, let people move the food on the square table, and turned his hands to free up a large pile of gold, silver, and jade jewelry, piling up the table like a hill: "Old man, let the ladies outside the door come in, and each person picks two pieces!" ”

Taiping didn't wait for the beggar Seung-su to refuse, so he beckoned to the women who had just accompanied him to change his clothes, and the beggar Seung-su had to shut up and stop talking.

There was immediately a buzz of discussion outside the door, mixed with amazement and laughter, these jewels were good things for them, even if they could enter the courtyard, they were all the noble class of the patriarch's line, and it was rare for anyone to have one or two pieces in their hands.

Those women know how to be polite, first of all, let the elders pick, in fact, there is nothing to pick, any of them are not the best goods that ordinary people can see.

As more and more women came forward, the atmosphere soon became warm, and it was inevitable that people in the mountains would recognize each other, but they would also get acquainted with each other very quickly.

Beggar Seung-su pointed to one of the women who was just in her early twenties and was holding a baby in her arms, and introduced to Li Zhi:

"Mr. Li, this is the second family, I used to live in Heyanzong with the prominent pimple, and it was inconvenient to stay where I was after I had it, so I left it here!"

He pointed to a slightly longer woman not far away, "That's the old family's, the eldest is working at the second uncle!" ”

Li Zhi hurriedly took out two sets of gold jewelry, one of which was handed to the second family, and the second daughter-in-law also hurriedly greeted the old family.

He knows in his heart that the eldest is the beggar Zuorong, and the second beggar is just cousins, but according to the name of the Yan clan, the descendants of the brothers are all unified and sorted.

Beggar Zuorong and his father Beggar Zhongxiang are the future founders of the Bohai State and a generation of military strategists, and Li Zhi has reason to pay attention to them.

There was also a four- or five-year-old boy next to the old family, and the second family was also a boy in his arms, so Li Zhi turned out two jade pendants and gave them to the two children.

The half-eldest son of the beggar Zuorong is still young and can't tell the difference between good and bad things, but he was deeply attracted by the endless things in Li Zhi's hands, and he didn't know that there was a clear nose flowing out.

Seeing that the old family only looked at the gold ornaments in his hands with a look of surprise, Li Zhi took out a few more packs of tissues, took out one, hugged the half-grown child, and helped him wipe away his snot.

Some women saw the tissues in Li Zhi's hand, so they pointed to the people around them and said something, Li Zhi's ears were a good thing, so he simply took out hundreds of packs of tissues and piled them on the ground, beckoning the women to take a few packs each.

Seeing this, Taiping did not show weakness, and turned over a pile of ten-colored notes on the fire kang, kneeling on it regardless of the image, beckoning the young girl to come forward and choose.

Liqi, Fu Chen and others were on the side of Beikang, but they had already drunk wine with a group of young and middle-aged men, it was the kind of pure grain wine brewed by the local method, because there was no koji added, there was no sweet aroma, but the degree was extremely high.

At that time, corn had not yet been introduced, and the famous Northeast bud rice wine had not yet appeared, and the Northeast liquor at this time was really only alcoholic, and there was no such thing as mellowness, but it was an excellent way to warm up in cold weather.

Just trying to drink some, Fu Chen couldn't stand it anymore, and he didn't care about the etiquette, so he directly took out the Xifeng high wine.

There is no comparison between the two, even if those Northeast men are accustomed to drinking locally produced inferior grain wine, they can instantly taste the good luck of Xifeng wine.

So the atmosphere on the Beikang side was very hot for a while, and the Northeast people were bold and bold, and after a while, someone yelled at five and six with a big tongue.

Sasher's personality in the Western Regions is actually very similar to that of the Northeasterners, and he is also physically and mentally involved in it, coupled with Zuo San's temperament, he is also very excited.

Yang Gaotang, who stayed beside Li Zhi, couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, but he was also a little envious of the enthusiasm on the kang, so he simply vacated the square table, and also took out a few bottles of wine, and changed the cups with the same good wine Old Wu Tou, the beggar Chengzhu, and a few elders in the Ya Clan.

And the beggar Chengzhu is very good at nagging, and soon there is also an atmosphere that women like on the kang on this side, so slowly some people are greeted by Taiping and squeezed onto the kang.

Taiping, like several of Li Zhi's wives, likes to beg Chengzhu to tell some hunting stories in the mountains, and when she heard the excitement, she drank the fruit wine she took out, and there were many people on the kang, so she unknowingly snuggled into Li Zhi's arms.

Fortunately, Li Shi had no official figures at the scene, except that the people of the Yan Dynasty were the people around him, and Li Zhi had no intention of covering it up, let alone ignoring Yang Gaotang's occasionally ridiculous eyes.

Not to mention, the warm ondol, the eager Ya people, all kinds of rare mountain dried fruits and wild game in the south, and then there is a slightly drunk mood, all the guests actually liked it at once.

Princess Taiping's entourage was in another courtyard, and it wasn't until someone came to investigate that Li Zhi made an excuse to leave her and go outside to get some fresh air by the way.

This tribe is very large, covering an area of ten miles, and there are more than 70 courtyards in the vicinity of the beggar Seungsu, all gathered in an open land facing the sun and leeward.

Their houses were built next to each other, and in order to prevent wild beasts from scattering the children, the tribesmen worked together to build a high stone wall on the outskirts of the village.

The stone wall has four entrances and exits, and a thick birch door is strictly guarded all year round, but because of the arrival of Li Yi and his party, this stable and peaceful village has been broken.

There was an old woman at the door, and she told him about the customs here, because of the war, since ancient times, no matter where they migrate, they have always followed this form of residence, passed down from generation to generation, and they have nothing to do with each other.

Li Zhi's attention was soon attracted by the reindeer kept in captivity in the corner of the yard, and it is said that these reindeer have been kept in captivity for several years, first as young deer caught alive during hunting, and after breeding, they have been bred for two generations.

What he cares about is not venison, but wants to catch a large number of wild deer and release them into the Chaoyuan Secret Realm, a typical herbivore, eating grass, bark, twigs and young saplings, and his personality is extremely docile, which must be properly protected, and the secret realm does need some creatures to enhance the spirituality inside.

And he has a preference for deer because he once heard a fact in the Jiang family compound.

It is said that he is a local hunter who is familiar with his third uncle Jiang Liang, because he is a well-known good hunter because he dabbles in every shot, and the hunter is also proud of it.

One day, the hunter went into the forest to hunt as usual, and he saw a doe and a fawn walking in the forest, with the doe in front and the fawn following closely behind. From time to time, the doe turned back, as if urging her beloved fawn: "Go quickly, don't get lost".

At this moment, the hunter raised his bow without hesitation, and shot a sword into the neck of the fawn, and immediately blood poured into it, and the fawn slowly fell to death, and the doe saw that it also slowly fell to the fawn's side.

The hunter quickly approached the doe and the fawn, only to see that the doe was also dead, and her expression was very sad.

The hunter thought it strange that he didn't shoot the doe at all, and the doe died. He opened the doe's abdomen with a knife, and the doe's heart, liver, and lungs were cracked, and then he realized that the doe had died of grief from the fawn.

When the hunter saw this, he felt very sad and guilty, and buried the doe and the fawn. From then on, he no longer hunted and retreated to the mountains to cultivate.

Li Zhi remembered that he heard it at the time, and his heart was also a little touched, but the ladies all had tears in their eyes, because they had just returned from the royal hunting ground deer hunting conference, and they had hunted a group of them.

Since then, several ladies have been extremely disdainful of deer hunting, which is the related deer skin products of Zhengqing Wenqitang, and they have also lost interest in business.

Therefore, Li Zhi really wanted to raise some in the secret territory of Chaoyuan, mainly to relieve the guilt in the hearts of the ladies.

He will not restrict the hunting of deer by the four little ones, because the survival of the fittest under the natural ecology is the natural law of survival, in the hope of adjusting the unique compassion of the lady for the deer.

Because this kind of mentality will have a great impact on one's own cultivation, and it is also a big taboo in the environment of the strong people in the cultivation realm, those who are kind and soft-faced will inevitably not be able to reach much higher Taoism.

In the same way, righteousness is not the main wealth, mercy is not the main soldier, it is the supreme principle of the world, and people with a similar mentality are by no means the cultivation attitude that cultivators should have, there is the survival of the fittest in any human world, and only those with strong adaptability can be preserved in the competition for survival, and the elimination of poor adaptability does not only exist in mutual harm between human beings, but also in the perception of the Heavenly Dao.
