Chapter 41: The Tang Dynasty Wedding
Looking at the "trademark" under Wang Dong, even the well-informed Jiugong was taken aback.
Because, the general engraving seals are all lettering, how can there be a strange pattern carved like Wang Dong.
Wang Dong explained with a smile: "This pattern is the palm print of a bear's paw. ”
"Bear paws?" Jiugong and the lady of the Zhang family, although they have never seen the bear's paw with their own eyes, they have also heard of it, "Then what are the two strange symbols in the center of the bear's paw?" ”
"Ah...... This ......" Wang Dong frowned and said, "These are two auspicious symbols. ”
"I see." The lady of the Zhang family nodded as if she didn't understand.
Jiu Gong continued to ask, "Wang Dong, does this pattern have any special meaning?" ”
"Special meaning?" Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, but fortunately his brain turned very quickly, and immediately replied, "Yes, of course." ”
"Wang Lang, let's hear it." As soon as she heard that it had a special meaning, the little lady of the Zhang family was also interested, blinking her little eyes, and staring at Wang Dong for a moment.
Wang Dong coughed dryly and said, "What does it mean, it's -- hey, give me rice lunch (GiveMeFive)." ”
"What?" In an instant, Jiugong and the lady of the Zhang family were confused by Wang Dong's sentence 'give me rice lunch'.
"Come, lady of the Zhang family, you raise your hand, like me." Wang Dong said, his hand had been raised in front of him, and his four fingers were put together in the shape of a palm.
The little lady of the Zhang family, in a daze, followed Wang Dong's appearance and stretched out her soft twing.
Seeing that the little lady stretched out her hand, Wang Dong's palm immediately met it, slammed it with the little lady's palm, and shouted: "Hey, GiveMeFive!" Then, he asked the little lady and Jiugong, "Do you understand?" ”
Jiugong and the little lady shook their heads, obviously still not understanding what Wang Dong was doing.
Wang Dong said: "This posture, high-five, slogan, is the meaning of greeting or celebrating each other, it is a foreign language, understand?" ”
"Gentiles? Hey, no wonder that pattern looks like this, it turned out to be a high-five. Jiugong suddenly opened up.
"Jiugong, do you understand?" Wang Dong was overjoyed.
Jiugong said: "My old man, I haven't seen anything, how can this 'give me rice lunch' be difficult to pour me?" If you don't believe it, let's do it once. ”
"No need, no need...... Wang Dong waved his hand and refused.
"Since I don't have to say, 'Hey, give me rice for lunch,' I'll go and get on with something else first." Jiugong, like a nobody, walked away from Wang Dong and Jiugong, in fact...... In fact, he really doesn't understand much, but in front of the juniors, he admits that he is "only shallow in learning", and he is indeed a little faceless.
"Wang Lang is so powerful, I can't imagine that he still understands foreign languages." The little lady of the Zhang family said enviously.
Wang Dong smiled: "So-so. ”
In order to change the topic, Wang Dong asked: "By the way, how old are the women of the Tang Dynasty who are generally married?" ”
"Isn't it all before the war? Wang Lang, how do you ...... I don't know? The little lady of the Zhang family, looking at Wang Dong's eyes, was like looking at another alien.
Wang Dong hurriedly said: "I know, of course I know." It's just that I'm wondering why the third mother of the Wang family hasn't married yet. ”
"I don't know." The little lady of the Zhang family, how could she know about the Wang family.
Wang Dong asked again: "By the way, if Ji Lu hasn't married before, then ......?"
Before Wang Dong's words were finished, the little lady of the Zhang family snatched the words and said: "If you haven't married before Ji Xuan, it's bad, the government not only has to levy fines, but it is the worst to be ridiculed." ”
"Fines? How much is the fine? ”
"I don't know, but I've heard people say that it seems like a lot, maybe as much as five hundred dollars." The little lady frowned, it was miserable enough not to get married, and she had to be fined so much money, five hundred yuan, enough for an ordinary person's expenses for half a year.
"So, isn't the third mother of the Wang family fined a lot of money?"
"Then what's the solution," said the lady of the Zhang family, "but the Wang family has money, and the fine is fine, but this reputation is not good." ”
After listening to these words of the Zhang family's lady, Wang Dong couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "God, what kind of society is this!" If you are forced to marry at a young age, you will be fined so much money if you can't get married, and you will be pointed at behind your back, which is really too much! ”
"Fortunately, when I crossed over, I didn't cross into a woman." Wang Dong felt lucky.
"Wang Lang? Are you okay? The lady of the Zhang family, seeing Wang Dong on the side, behaved a little strangely, and couldn't help but ask with concern.
Wang Dong shook his head: "It's okay, what can I do?" His gaze fell on the little lady of the Zhang family, and suddenly asked, "Lady of the Zhang family, when did you marry the Zhang family?" ”
These words made the lady of the Zhang family blush: "When the slave family married into the Zhang family, it was still in the prime of cardamom. ”
"Cardamom years? Thirteen?! Wang Dong was amazed in his heart, and said secretly, "God, at such an age, I only went to middle school in the 21st century, and I was married to a wife in Datang......"
……
In the face of the marriage system of the Tang Dynasty, it took Wang Dong a long time to slowly calm down and accept this reality.
"I don't know if it's in Datang...... At what age does a man not get married, will he be fined? Wang Dong suddenly realized this urgent problem. Because, on top of the "public inspection" between the Seventh Duke and him, Wang Dong's age is nineteen years old.
Wang Dong didn't dare to ask anyone else about this question, because he was afraid that he would be looked at as an "alien creature" by others.
"It seems that we need to find an opportunity to make up for Datang's marriage system." Wang Dong secretly made up his mind.
When the time came to the afternoon, Wang Dong, Jiugong and others opened as usual, and announced to the people who bought that from tomorrow, there will be more fritter stalls in Jinyang City.
"Everyone, as long as you see a signboard flag with such a sign, that is our stall, whether it is the price or materials, it is the same as now." Wang Dong held his own special "trademark" signboard in his hand and popularized it to people.
"Auntie, what's on it? It's so interesting. A child was attracted by the blue "bear paw trademark" on Wang Dong's signboard and asked innocently.
"This is a bear's paw, and in the Gentiles it means 'hey, give me rice for lunch', which means that we say hello or celebrate each other in the Central Plains, just like us." Jiu Gong explained as he turned around and demonstrated with a servant of the Wang family.
"Hey, give me rice for lunch."
The two palms are struck in one place, but they also look the same.
"Oh, it's the language of Fanbang, high-five celebration? No wonder the pattern looks like a palm, come, everyone come to learn. ”
"Okay, that's interesting."
"Hey, give me rice for lunch......"
For a while, "Hey, give me rice lunch" rang non-stop in the crowd.
