Chapter 316: A Trip to Jiaozhou (21)
By the time Guo Bin returned to the courtyard, it was nearly midnight. Tonight, I was in a tall building with the unknown senior, drinking and talking, so happy.
The two of them talked about not only martial arts and allusions to the rivers and lakes, but also the general trend of the world, and even calligraphy, and they chatted very happily. Later, Guo Bin also gave an explanation of his experience in governing the people, which was highly praised by that person. Through this simple banquet, Guo Bin felt that this senior master who had told himself not to mention it to others was not only extremely high in martial arts, but also in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he was omniscient, although many of his views seemed quite out of place at this time, listening to Guo Bin's ears, but it was always so pleasing to the ear, so that he found a little illusion of later generations.
In terms of martial arts and knowledge of the rivers and lakes, although Guo Bin lacks a lot compared to that person, and his life experience is also insufficient, but whenever that person talks about something, although he will not praise him from the bottom of his heart at length, he will always say it to the point. Even if he disagrees, there will always be a more radical and comprehensive solution from later generations.
Therefore, after this night's conversation, although Guo Bin still didn't know the name of the senior master, he could almost call him a brother and a brother.
Guo Bin lay on the bed, recalling the bizarre experience of this night, and fell asleep unconsciously.
On the second day, it was the day when Wu Luan, a warrior of the Linyi Kingdom, said in his letter that he would come to learn martial arts, and everyone got up early and gathered in the garden to discuss countermeasures. It is said that it is a countermeasure, but where can a result be discussed? The so-called "those who are virtuous are not in harmony with the vulgar, and those who have achieved great achievements do not seek the public", these heroes have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and they are all extremely difficult to provoke, and many of them are not convinced. According to Guo Bin's opinion, if the heroes of the Central Plains want to gather together to discuss major matters, there is a chance that a martial arts conference will come out and compete to decide the winner.
This kind of farce, Guo Bin has seen a lot in the martial arts in his previous life, and every so-called hero conference and martial arts conference has never been able to discuss something seriously. Therefore, on this day, Guo Bin and the others did not come in advance to join in the fun, and they all hid in the courtyard to learn martial arts.
After a night of chatting with the unknown senior master yesterday, Guo Bin has been in a slightly excited state. Since his rebirth, Guo Bin's burden has been very heavy, and it is getting heavier and heavier. No one has ever been able to truly understand him, and no one has ever poured out those shocking views from later generations, not even Xi Zhicai or Sima Hui.
Whenever he is alone with Dong Xing'er, he always relaxes, not only because he has secret feelings for her, but also because many of her views are bold at this time. or because he has lived in Lushan since he was a child, he has never been in contact with the society of the late Eastern Han Dynasty; Or because they are too young to understand the hardships and compromises of adult life. In short, no matter why, Guo Bin can always experience a kind of freedom, liveliness, and self-confidence similar to that of later generations of women when facing Dong Xing'er, but it is also indispensable for the gentleness, thoughtfulness and meticulousness of today's women.
However, no matter how avant-garde her thinking is, Dong Xinger is just a woman, she is not interested in being a political person, and Guo Bin does not have the habit of bringing some things in the officialdom into his private life, so he is extremely lacking such an object that can communicate freely without regard to his status and status. And the senior master in the small building in the back garden of the Shifu has a deep understanding of the problem, and he doesn't care much about Guo Bin's status in the officialdom, and more importantly, the two are not superiors and subordinates, so they can become more and more unscrupulous when talking about problems. It can be said that the conversation last night was the most enjoyable conversation since Guo Bin was reborn, and it was also the only time he poured out his heart in the past two years.
Therefore, although I slept late yesterday, it was extremely sweet, and when I got up early this morning, I was full of energy and in a happy mood, that is, when I was competing with Guan Zhang and Huang Zhong, my subordinates were also a little more aggravated, and they only looked at everyone a little inexplicable. It was in such a state of excitement that Shi San'er came to the small courtyard where Guo Bin and the others lived in a panic.
Since he knew that Guo Bin had also come to Shifu, Wang Yue instructed Shi San'er to take care of Guo Bin's and his party's food, clothing, and daily life, but at this time, he saw him flying into the small courtyard, panting and saying to Guo Bin: "Guo Yuanjun, it's not good, the people of Linyi are here!" ”
Guan Yu took a step forward, pressed his right hand on Shi San'er's shoulder, and asked, "Where is it?" ”
Shi San'er bared his teeth and said, "Lightly, lightly, the people of Linyi will be outside the mansion." ”
Guan Yu let go of his right hand and glanced back at Guo Bin, Guo Bin nodded and said, "Then let's go and meet this master from Linyi!" So saying, they took their swords and went out of the house.
When I came to the gate of Shifu, I saw that the gate was already crowded with people, including the tycoons of the rivers and lakes in the Central Plains, and the people of Panyu City who came to receive porridge and rice.
Guo Bin lined up the crowd and looked into the field, but saw that there were more than a dozen dark, thin, and short people in the field, and these dozen people were wearing only a small pair of pants, unkempt and stomping, which seemed to be quite inferior to the displaced people who had lost their land and property in the Central Plains. But Guo Bin knows that this is their custom.
It turned out that Jiaozhou at this time, including the vast area to the south, was warm at four o'clock, with no frost and no snow. Therefore, the indigenous occupants are all "naked and naked", and black is beautiful. Not only that, but the noble women and the lowly men occupy people, and they are married with the same surname, and the women are married first. Even after 2,000 years, the Brahmin and Bo Ni Cham in Vietnam still retain the typical matriarchal system.
One of the most striking features is that the family is divided by the maternal line, and the rituals are based on the mother's clan. One of the characteristics of the Cham matrilineal system is that children take their mother's surname, and secondly, they live in groups, where daughters live with their mothers. It's the same with a family, usually the daughter is with the mother. In addition, the younger daughter will live with her parents and will have the right to inherit property. The property was divided among all the daughters, but the youngest was the most, and the sons received nothing. Marriage is the same, it is the woman who "marries" the man into the door.
In the marriage customs of the Cham people, the characteristics of matrilineal society are also more obvious. The woman's family can take the initiative to propose marriage, and when the daughter reaches the age of marriage, the parents will choose the best one from the local boy to be the son-in-law. All procedures such as matchmaking and marriage proposal are carried out in secret, and they often invite matchmakers to the man's home to test his attitude. The girl has the right to find a husband for herself, and the groom is to obey the bride's arrangement and live in the bride's house. In other words, this is marrying a husband. When a husband marries into the family, the children born to them must also follow the mother's family name, which can understand why the sons in the family have no inheritance. In the words of the Central Plains, this is called "the water spilled by the married son", who will prepare an inheritance for a person with a foreign surname?
However, even so, the status of men in the family is still not low, and they still follow the rules of the female protagonist and the male protagonist, and there are many proverbs and sayings in the clan that express respect for men. Women are the heads of the family, but in practice the decision is still in the hands of their husbands. In addition, the patriarch was a man, not a woman. The matriarch of a family, the mistress of the family, is rarely called matriarch and her husband is called matriarch.
As for the most important sacrifices, this rule is also respected. Although the Cham woman did not have to do the manual work that men did, she was still the master of all the affairs of the house. There is a clear division of labor in the sacrificial activities. The woman is in charge of the house, and the man is in charge of the temple.
Therefore, although the Zhan people are indeed respected by women, the people who went north to Panyu to find fault this time were all men. One by one, these people were extremely tanned, but at this time, they showed their martial arts in the crowd.
I saw a short man tying a wooden bucket full of water to one end of the rope, and the other end did not know what was bolted, but it was stuck in his eyelids. The man's hands were outstretched, and the veins on his neck were bulging, and he saw that he raised his head and burst into a loud cry, and lifted the wooden bucket full of water with his eyelids.
Looking at the other side, it was a naked short man, holding a straight iron rod that was not thick on the center of his eyebrows, and the other end against the wall, only to see his left leg bent forward, his right leg propped back, and his whole body was fighting. Just when the people outside the field couldn't bear to see it, they saw that the iron rod was gradually bent, and after he finished his work, he only heard a clanging sound and fell on the ground paved with bluestone slabs.
There was also a samurai, with his feet on the steps in front of the palace, hooking an iron hook to the lower edge of his throat, and a tray with a seated man attached below. I saw that the samurai was fighting again, and the man sitting on it actually got up from the ground, and only stunned the onlookers, and forgot to applaud.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he said with a circled expression: "Didn't the old scholars know that we are bored and bored in Lingnan, so they specially called them to relieve their boredom?" ”
After listening to Zhang Fei's heartless words, everyone couldn't help but have a black line, or Wang Yue had lived in Lingnan for a long time, and he was well-informed, and explained: "Lin Yi's national martial arts, pay attention to both internal and external cultivation, this is a special method for them to practice internal kung fu. And its external strength is insidious and tricky, and when he is bare-handed, he mostly attacks the enemy with his elbows, and his explosive power is amazing. It is said that when the martial arts of Linyi were practiced to the highest place, they could break coconuts and even stones with their elbows. ”
Guo Bin listened and nodded secretly. The Zhan people should be part of the Vietnamese people of later generations, and these people are small in stature, so they need to make full use of their advantages and use more cunning. In Muay Thai, they mostly use their elbows and knees to attack the enemy, and they both live in the Indochina Peninsula, and there should be something in common in the number of martial arts.
