Chapter 62: My Territory (Part 3)
There were many important festivals in the Song Dynasty, the biggest festival was the Lantern Festival, then the cold food Qingming, followed by Chinese New Year's Eve, the winter solstice, the Dragon Boat Festival, Chongyang, and the Mid-Autumn Festival were at the bottom of the important festivals. There is only one place that is the most lively, Hangzhou, you can watch the tide of Qiantang, Su Dongpo wrote a poem when he was a general judge in Hangzhou, Wu Er grew up in the abyss, risking profit and forgetting life without self-pity. If the East China Sea knows the idea, it should be reprimanded and reprimanded. Later, many Su fans defended Da Su and should not set off the Wutai poetry case because of this poem. But there is indeed a problem with this poem itself, although Wu Er was asked to attach importance to life and not to make a tide again, but if a nation has no blood, it will not even dare to cross the single-plank bridge, waiting for foreigners to slaughter it. The latter is even more wrong, people must dare to defeat the sky, defeat the sea, and turn the sea into a mulberry field. This is the most spectacular scene in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, because the yield is low, the population is large, so the mountains compete for the fields, the lakes compete for the fields, and the sea compete for the fields, and even a thousand years later, the people still enjoy the relics of the Song Dynasty, including the two Zhejiang fields, Jiangdong Wei, and various terraced fields and weir fields.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is like that in the capital, and it passed silently.
The Double Ninth Festival is very lively, and there are still some traditions of worshipping ancestors, but this tradition is changing, and it has become a tourist festival.
The eldest sister wanted to choose this festival to worship her parents, but Song Jiu was helpless.
People want to wear chrysanthemums during the Double Ninth Festival, one for each person, but this year there is a leap March, and it is a little cold to the Double Ninth Festival, and the chrysanthemums are beginning to wither, and there are chrysanthemums that are blooming.
Even the officials have to take a holiday during the Double Ninth Festival, and the two doctors have nothing to say.
Song Jiu took several painters to paste the ninth and tenth paintings on the royal street. In fact, all 20 paintings were painted. However, the task of the four painters was not over, and they had to draw four or five drawings for each painting. Put it on the royal street, there are many people, no one will tear it, but the wind and the sun will not last long. It must be replaced every once in a while.
The four painters will have to be busy for two months before it officially ends.
It cost Song Jiu a lot of money.
If you want to get it, you have to pay, but you can't help it.
Two new paintings came out, and immediately someone went to look at them.
It's a strange building again, but it's not as big as the previous paintings, the first painting is a building next to the small Hongqiao, one high and one low, two strange buildings, green, with small pictures on the side, the low house is a three-story building, very spacious, the first floor is a restaurant, the second floor is a place for geisha to perform songs and dances, the third floor is an event venue, there are many tables and chairs, and you can see that kind of weird billiards, and the other two kinds of cards that have never been seen before. The four-storey building is a bedroom, but strangely enough, there are no walls outside, only a curtain on the outside. As soon as you pull the outside scenery, you can see the inside from the outside, and you can sleep with peace of mind inside.
The sixth painting is equally eccentric, a multicolored building with a performance in the center stage, surrounded by four tiers of upper and lower corridors, with seating, boxes, and elaborate decorations, and many spectators. But from this building, the river island gradually opened up, so there are some elegant houses in the back that are located on the banks of the South Bianshui and North River.
After watching it for a long time, someone finally said: "What a big piece of glass." ”
That is, glass.
It is also produced in China, but the quality is not very good, and the Song Dynasty scholar Cheng Dachang deliberately compared Western glass with Chinese glass: cast in China is very bright in color, and the quality is light and brittle, and it is wo with hot wine, and it is broken casually. As for those who come from the sea, the production is poor, simple and dull and the color is slightly dark, and it can be different, although it is poured into a hundred boiling soups, it is no different from magnetic silver, and it is not lost. That is to say, the brightness of the glass made in China is there, but it is not used in the middle, and it will be broken when touched. Western glass is dark but durable. In fact, the reason is very simple, although a part of the big food technology is not comprehensive, China uses lead nitrate and gypsum to produce glass, and the big food is filled with Nanpeng sand. So one was burned out of lead barium glass, and the other was practical potassium soda-lime glass. What should China do if it doesn't have Nanpengsha, so it has to import glass from foreign countries.
Uncover the ingredients, people who know a little will laugh, don't do anything Nanpeng sand, the sand is the same everywhere, and you don't need to add any miscellaneous things, if you don't add a little better, one plus is more messy.
Whether it is glass or not, the people dare not confirm it, it is glass, there are glasses, glass bottles, glass lamps, glass bowls, and some small decorations, how can such a large piece of glass window be burned? But I have to admit that these two buildings are extremely beautiful.
There are also well-informed people who know that these buildings are about to appear on the desolate river island outside the East Water Gate. Now a third of the area has been outlined, and the remaining two-thirds have not been outlined. Some of the good deeds went up to see what they could see, the reeds were fluttering, the little wild birds were chirping, and there were some people who were bitter, and then they came back blankly.
……
The women of the Song Dynasty also drank alcohol, because the degree was low, and some were only a little higher than the degree of beer, so Wu Song could drink eighteen bowls.
The eldest sister is pouring chrysanthemum wine.
When the chrysanthemum is in full bloom, the stems and leaves are harvested, mixed with wheat and rice to make wine, and they are taken out and drunk in Chongyang in the next year, which is said to cure headache and chronic headache. However, because the Song Dynasty implemented a liquor franchise, it was necessary to buy koji brewing from the relevant ministries, and it was not possible to brew too much, otherwise the government would come to the door.
There are others, the eldest brother-in-law with two children, the fifth sister and the fifth brother-in-law and one of their children, the seventh brother-in-law and the seventh sister with a strong belly, Yuping and Cui'er, the old woman of the Zhang family and the two grandsons do not have to go, and the rest have to go to Nanshan.
The poor in the downtown no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.
Song Jiu's situation is improving, and his relatives are coming more, and Song Jiu is also calm about this. Human!
If there were no snobbery, the world would be the same.
In fact, the most bitter is the eldest sister, on one side is the mother-in-law's family, on the other hand, the only descendant of the mother's family, the eldest sister has to take care of both sides, if it weren't for Song Jiu coming, she would continue to be the one who only read dead books before, and thought that the two brothers-in-law's family owed Song Jiu to his family, and the eldest sister would be even more bitter.
This is the most common Chinese woman, who can spill, scold, and be a little cautious, but can live a family, have compassion, can bear hardships and stand hard work, can bear grievances, put aside the tough coat, and is actually a golden heart.
Therefore, Song Jiu was very afraid.
I'm not afraid of Zhao Kuangyi, I want to get what I will pay to you first, that's a fair deal, but I'm afraid of the eldest sister. At least this body owes too much to the eldest sister.
"Xiao Jiu, can you bring the paper money?"
"Bring it, I also prepared chrysanthemum cakes, as well as some fruits, and I will eat them on Nanshan at noon."
"We worship our parents, and you just want to eat."
"Eldest sister, people will be hungry if they don't eat, I think my parents should want to watch us live well under Jiuquan, instead of not even being able to eat."
"You're cunning again."
"Xiao Jiu, who did you learn from these foods?" The fifth sister asked. She doesn't understand many things now, including Song Jiu's personality change, academic change, and this food.
"It was taught by the Mr. Picky Tendon Sect, and he also said that there are many countries in the West, where people don't even know how to use chopsticks, and only use knives and forks to eat food." Song Jiu decisively diverted the topic.
"How's that going to work?"
"This is not bad, go to Tianzhu, where people don't use chopsticks, don't use knives and forks, they can grab food directly with their hands, and even go to the toilet here, and come over there to eat."
"You're going to die, say this disgusting thing!" The fifth sister knocked on Song Jiu's head.
"Fifth sister, it's true, Xuanzang wrote the Tang Dynasty Western Regions Chronicle, which is also recorded." Jade said.
The eldest sister smiled, this is so good, the husband sings and the woman is harmonious, but it is not beautiful, this Yuping is also pretty, but it is not as big as the little lady of the Pan family, and it is difficult to give birth. Of course, you can't say it, that would make people shy......
The eldest sister feels very happy, she has two children, the fifth sister has children, the seventh sister is also happy, plus the little brother who is most concerned about has a future, and there is such a beautiful little lady by her side, she no longer has to worry.
packed up the food and drink, took the worship items, and left the Song family. The little grandson of the old woman Zhang also has to follow, and she has been at the Song family for many days, and after a little tidying up, putting on new clothes, and eating well, the appearance of the three grandparents and grandchildren has changed a lot, but the old woman and the boy still talk little, just like a guest to the Song family. Song Jiu doesn't care, she is happy to be at ease, it's this little girl who is clingy. If it wasn't his own daughter, Song Jiu looked at the old woman, and the old woman said, "Jiulang, if you are not afraid of trouble, take her with you." ”
Song Jiu wanted to say something, but I was afraid of trouble. But I didn't dare to say it, and said that a few sisters were overflowing with sympathy, and they were going to knock him on the head again. I had to hold the little girl, and more than a dozen people walked out of the city with the army out of the city.
Out of the East Water Gate is the Hulong River, and on the opposite side is the sandbar. Rich people are at ease, run far, rich people casually wander around, and then go home, the sandbar is also a good choice for the people of Dongcheng District, so the sandbar is very lively today. Some children, boys and girls were flying kites, and from time to time there was laughter like silver bells.
The eldest sister looked at this sandbar with a complicated expression, and now she is relieved of everything, but this sandbar makes her feel uneasy.
Song Jiu said: "Eldest sister, fifth sister, seventh sister, this is my territory, in the future it will become the most lively and beautiful place in the Song Dynasty, and many people will come every day." ”
"Xiao Jiu, it's still lively and beautiful, I can't sleep well because of it."
This is also true.
Song Jiu thought about it, let's get to the bottom first, so he said, "You come with me." ”
Walk across the stone bridge, take them to the "research institute", and take the eldest sister and them in to have a look. But something happened that embarrassed Song Jiu, Song Jiu didn't have anything to do when he went in, the eldest sister was just about to go in, and the forbidden soldiers stopped the eldest sister: "Big lady, this is an important place for the country, please stop the big lady." ”
Song Jiu said: "Brother Bing, I built this house. ”
"Song Chengshi, no matter who made the small one, I only know that this is the emperor's edict, except for you and the students who have developed it, as well as the officials who come to study, no one else is allowed to enter. If you want your sister to enter, you must invite the emperor's edict. ”
The seventh sister was stunned and asked, "Xiao Jiu, are you sure this is your territory?" ”
PS: By the way, the Song Dynasty glass matter, the Song Dynasty had glass, poor quality, but the glass and mercury were used to make a thermos water bottle, as well as glass lanterns, this year to buy thousands of glass lamps, the cost of more than 10,000 yuan, a Song Dynasty glass lantern price of a few dollars. Let's talk about the difference between a tale of money and consistent money, a coin is a standard of 1,000 yuan, and consistent money is a string of money, sometimes the money is insufficient, there will be 900 wen and 800 wen, and even only 700 tens of wen behind, that is, a non-standard coin of a penny, slightly less. How much is a penny worth in the early Song Dynasty, and it can buy one square meter of Lu Mengzheng's mansion, and it is at least 300,000 yuan in a mansion like that in Beijing now. Well, I won't mention this. You can buy 100 buckets of wheat, 50 buckets of rice, and 12 and a half catties of a bucket. Some people say that the income of the Tang Dynasty was low, and the money was used as money, and a bucket of grain was only five cents, which was millet, and those who were ashamed to see the history books in the Song Dynasty also only had a few cents. In the later period, it was normal to have a bucket of wheat 30 wen money, and more than 70 wen to a bucket of rice. At the price of rice, one penny can now buy 600 catties of rice. If the price of silk is calculated, a wisp of money can buy eight zhang of silk, compared with the current one zhang of real silk cloth. But in terms of the price of salt, it is pitiful, a bucket of salt in the early Tang Dynasty was only a dozen yuan, and in the early Song Dynasty, a pound of salt was twenty yuan. Taken together, at this time, one piece of money is equivalent to nearly 700 yuan. Another example is that one penny can buy a beautiful pet dog, which is about the same.
