Before and after the winter solstice, the weather is extremely cold, it can be said that it is splashed into ice, even though the land of Sichuan and Shu is much warmer than the Central Plains and the north, but it is still extremely cold, far less "mild" than the winter days of Sichuan and Shu in later generations.

In that year, Zhou Gong went to Luoyang, and measured the place where Luoyang is located with the Tugui method as "in the middle of the world", and then began to divinate the auspicious place of the national community, and made an investigation of several places around Luoyang, and finally determined that Jianshui East, Qianshui West, and Qianshui East are all "Weiluo food", which are all good places to build Zongmiao Sheji.

Zhou Gong "set the heavens, according to the heavenly room", after the completion of the national community, that is, the so-called capital, the temple, Zhou Gong in the Zhou Ming Hall system of ceremonies and music, the detailed formulation of the national etiquette system, and then Zhou Gong and "tree eight feet of the table, summer solstice, the length of the ruler has five inches; On the day of the winter solstice, the length of the scenery is one zhang three feet and five inches", and the longest day of the "sun shadow" in the year measured by the Tugui method is the day of the beginning of the new year, and it is selected as the winter solstice.

However, the winter solstice day of the Zhou Dynasty took winter and November as the first month, and the winter solstice was the first year to celebrate the New Year, and in the Han Dynasty, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted the summer calendar, the first month and the winter solstice were separated, and the winter solstice also spread to December, that is, after that, the Chinese people gradually turned the "winter solstice" into a tradition. After the changes of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the winter solstice has become an indispensable traditional festival for the Han people.

The "Book of Han" written by Ban Gu, a famous scholar and scholar of this dynasty, has clouds, "The winter solstice yang qi rises, the monarch is long, so he congratulates". It means that people believe that after the winter solstice, the days are getting longer and the yang energy is rising, which is the beginning of a solar term cycle and a very good auspicious day, which should be celebrated!

On the winter solstice day of the Han Dynasty, officials had a five-day holiday, which was very important for Fuquan, who had always been eager to spend more time with Liu Jian, but it backfired. After all, as a county guard, when it comes to the day of rest, not to mention the big day of the winter solstice, not to mention the civil and military forces under his command, even the wealthy families in the group, they also sent invitations and invited Fuquan to the banquet.

In this regard, Fuquan does not have much to do, Chinese society has always relied on human relations, even if it is put to future generations, you don't see the future generations Even if the central government's eight regulations are down, there are still many people who commit crimes against the wind? How many of them know that it is not suitable, and they still go to the banquet because they are caught and take great risks, and the most important thing to protect as an official is, of course, their official hat, unless they are fools, they will take risks, but some banquets have to go, and they are all based on human relationships, and today's Fuquan is no exception.

For four days in a row, Fuquan was very busy, not at all easier than usually sitting in the official office to deal with the case, all kinds of banquet invitations came one after another, and some of the little significance was dismissed, and it was really impossible to stop for a moment when rushing to other important banquets one by one. Repeatedly came out dry in the morning, and returned full of wine at dusk, so that when Fuquan went to visit her in Liu Jian's room, he was scolded by Liu Jian every day, but the two of them were helpless, unless Fuquan didn't want to mix up in Ba County's governance, otherwise it was very important to take care of the face of these big families and famous eunuchs in Ba County, even if he didn't want to go, he had to pretend to go to the banquet with a smile on his face.

To be honest, seeing Liu Jian's angry face every night, Fu Quan is also difficult to face, and he can't anger Liu Jian, besides, although Liu Jian and he are husband and wife, they are husband and wife, as a husband, it is indeed a little unfair to treat Liu Jian like this on his holiday.

On the fifth day, Fu Quan said that he would not go to the banquet at all, so he turned down all invitations, closed the door of the guest house, and it was right to accompany the beautiful woman next to him to eat.

Liu Jian's house was peaceful, and the "warm pot" made by Fuquan in his life made Liu Jian, who couldn't stand the cold, was very useful, and he couldn't leave his hands when he sat in the house, for fear of freezing himself and hurting the child in his womb. Sometimes, in winter, she was too hot to stay in the house, and she was sweating a lot, so she simply took off her clothes, wore a thin jacket, wrapped in a quilt, and covered the "warm pot" to keep warm.

Of course, not only Liu Jian, but also all the servants and maids in the official residence, all of them are very fond of this novelty made by their own Taishou, especially those delicate girls who are in their prime, and they don't want to wear more clothes, after all, they are wrapped thickly, where can they reflect their graceful figures? Therefore, with this "warm pot" that can be heated at any time, it makes it much more convenient for them, and they are naturally very useful and very fond of it.

Since it is winter and we are in the land of Sichuan and Shu, today's family banquet is naturally to eat "antique soup". The so-called "antique soup", that is, the famous hot pot in later generations, is named after the "coodong" sound made when the food is put into boiling water, and has existed in the pre-Qin era, which can be said to have a long history and is a kind of food suitable for all ages.

The hot aroma on the wok, under the grid, the dye furnace used for heating is full of fire, and the food in the ding is gradually cooked with the heated soup base, and the meat in the ding is more and more attractive and mature. The so-called "wok" is the hot pot of later generations, and the "dyeing furnace" is the base for heating the soup base and igniting the fire, and the "grid ding" is the soup base basin of the hot pot in later generations, which is to divide the ding into different cooking spaces to avoid different flavors of soup skewers, and its dietary principle is the same as that of modern mandarin duck hot pot.

In the hot wok, there are countless meats, vegetables are hard to find in this winter, there are only some unknown green mountain vegetables in the wok, and some mushrooms as a foil, and the rest are meat, such as beef, mutton, pork, roe meat and other kinds of meat. According to the Han Dynasty people's habit of eating more meat and less vegetarian dishes, there is a lot of meat in the wok, and the amount is also sufficient.

Looking at the countless meats in the ding, Fuquan is appetite is violated, a carnivorous desire is surging, even if he has eaten a lot of hot pot in the past few days, it is still difficult to give up his love for this taste. It's just a pity that at this time there is no spicy, only sour, salty and other food soup base, later generations love to eat spicy Fuquan is now not able to eat spicy for a moment, thinking of the famous "spicy hot pot" in later generations, he is now eating in that famous place in the country, but he can't eat spicy at all, I can't help but feel really regretful.

However, even so, Fuquan also felt comfortable, eating a pot of hot pot and drinking a few glasses of wine on such a cold day was really enjoyable. No wonder Liu Fei, the former king of the Han River, as a noble prince, loves nothing else, and loves to eat hot pot alone, and that kind of sourness is estimated that only the emperor's throne can make this Liu Fei give up his love for hot pot.

On top of the case, Fu Quan and Liu Jian sat opposite each other, although it was unreasonable, but now there is no one else, so naturally there are not so many evasions. In other words, this banquet is no different from a family banquet, except for Yao'er, the ten concubines who were sent to Fuquan by the two of them were present, and none of the others were present, even if Fuquan suddenly became interested, and wanted to do some embarrassing things with Liu Jian here, it is estimated that no one would stop them, and these concubines had to take care of him to prevent outsiders from entering! It's just that, obviously, Liu Jian is pregnant at this time, and Fu Quan's lower body is sexual, and he won't do that.

Just after drinking a glass of wine, Fu Quan took out a dagger and prepared to pick up vegetables, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Liu Jian getting up with the support of his concubine and removing some of his thick clothes. Eating hot pot in the house in this weather, it's no wonder if it's not hot, Fuquan took off his clothes when he first started eating, but Liu Jian was afraid that he would hurt the child by undressing, so he didn't take it off, but now it seems that he is extremely hot, and he can't bear it, so he can only take off his clothes. However, maybe she should still think about the child, and after taking it off, she still covered her body with that thick coat.

However, Liu Jian covered his back with his clothes, and the front was not wrapped tightly, and some thin white close-fitting clothes in it were suddenly exposed in front of Fu Quan, and Fu Quan's eyes were staring straight all of a sudden, and even the dagger that had just taken out the vegetables was stopped in mid-air and remained motionless.

If he saw other scenes, Fu Quan dared to guarantee that he would definitely be more serious than the Buddha who was dedicated to meditation and cultivation, but it was obvious that the scene in front of him had a great impact on him. I saw Liu Jian's thin straight jacket, the majestic peaks on his chest stood proudly, and the original fullness of the abundance that made Fuquan obsessed with it became more and more huge with the evolution of pregnant women's pregnancy. They are as if there is a barrier to wear a torn robe, and the ferocity that comes out of the clothes, and on the upright horn of the huge mountain peak, two attractive red grape grains are even more jumping into front of him, as Liu Jian eats the meat in the hot pot one bite at a time, the pair of plump jade rabbits are "shaking" with her body movements, this terrifying visual impact, so that Fu Quan's lower body is also suddenly shocked.

Seeing Fuquan's "discolored" appearance, Liu Jian, who had just finished eating a piece of beef and was about to eat mutton again, also stopped moving, she also wondered why Fuquan suddenly didn't move, but just stared at herself. Something is wrong, you have to be guarded against, Liu Jian also hurriedly put down the dagger, followed Fu Quan's line of sight, and looked at his chest, only then did he realize that he was careless, so he let the hungry ghost in Fu Quan's color catch him, and he couldn't help but be "angry" from his heart.

"Have you seen enough? Fu Lang is so obsessed, how about the concubine strip and sleep? In his tone, Liu Jian said more and more coldly, with countless unknown chills, even if there were countless hot pots in this room, it made Fu Quan suddenly feel a cold sweat break out in his body.

"Well, this, Jian'er laughed, now that the weather is cold, Lone is just worried that Jian'er will catch a cold, so he has this move." Fu Quan hurriedly murmured, although Liu Jian was caught off guard by the question at the beginning, and he was a little incoherent, but he still found a crooked reason to deal with it.

"Humph!" Liu Jian snorted coldly, glanced at Fuquan again, thinking of his man's temperament, he knew that it was useless to say, so he ignored it, and then continued to pick up the dagger and began to eat. However, when she ate hot pot, her eyes kept staring at Fuquan, watching her "surging" appearance of eating meat, there was a great sense of treating the meat as Fuquan, and eating him one bite at a time, which made Fuquan feel cold in his heart, and secretly said that this princess of the Han family was really not easy to mess with.

The concubines who were standing aside in the house and were waiting with them, when they saw their master eating in front of Liu Jian, they covered their mouths and snickered, especially Xiao'er, who has been serving Fuquan since he was a child, and it is not many to see him like this. They have just been in Ba County for more than a few months, and they have been accompanying Liu Jian to be pregnant, and it is rare to go out, after all, apart from them, Fuquan doesn't know who to trust, naturally there is not much fun, at this time, seeing this scene, of course, it is very laughing.

"You haven't eaten yet, since it's a family feast, it's better to sit down and eat together." Seeing them like this, Fu Quan was also helpless, but he didn't dare to scold them in front of Liu Jian, and he couldn't say that this spicy woman ridiculed herself with words. Then he thought that these concubines who had been working hard had not eaten yet, so he opened his mouth to change the topic, otherwise they kept laughing at themselves, where would they still be in the mood to eat?

The concubines looked at each other after hearing this, and then turned their heads to look at Liu Jian, who was sitting at this time eating mutton, looking at this meaning, thinking that they had been called in Liu Jian's courtyard for a long time, and now they have long been subdued by Liu Jian, the princess of the Han family, as if they regarded her as the heroine of the Fuquan family. couldn't help but look at Liu Jian and secretly think deeply, and secretly said that this woman is really worthy of being a woman from the palace, and she has controlled these women in a short period of time, and even Xiao'er, the concubine maid who has been with her since she was a child, also looked at Liu Jian with some trepidation at this time, which is really not to be underestimated.

Liu Jian raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and saw that one of Fuquan's concubines was looking at him, shorthand put down the dagger in his hand, and then found the handkerchief on the desk and wiped his mouth, and then sat down a little and said: "Since the prince has a clear order, why don't you sit down?" ”

"No!" The concubines breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then saluted in unison.

As a total of eleven concubines, including Yao'er, and the old palace maid who had been serving Liu Jian took the dagger jade bowl and sat down together for a few weeks to eat hot pot, the originally very loose position suddenly became crowded. And Fu Quan's side was also close to the two maids, looking at one of them, it was Bian Ying and one of the other concubines, the two of them were close to him, and suddenly let him smell a daughter's fragrance, as well as an indescribable comfortable woman's body temperature, and there was a feeling of excitement in the "warm fragrance nephrite embrace", which made him enjoy it.

It's just that just when Fuquan was still enjoying this sudden sexual blessing, a woman's cold snort sounded on the opposite side again, and the familiar voice shocked him almost into a cold sweat, just like a burst of cold water splashed on his head in the hot summer......
