Chapter 1018 "Women Don't Serve at the Table"
"By the way, Brother Wang, do you still have an impression of what happened at the scene of the crime?"
Zhang Ying asked rhetorically!
"Oh, it's okay if you don't say it, brother, I'm still a little disgusting when you say this, I won't tell you, although I just saw it, I really don't want to think about that scene again"
Hearing Zhang Ying ask himself, Wang Changfeng waved his hands, and his face was full of expressions that he didn't want to think about anymore!
"Hehe, Brother Wang does catering, kills chickens and geese every day, are you still afraid of this"?
Zhang Ying smiled and looked at Wang Changfeng and said!
"Brother, your brother I run a good restaurant, I have seen pig killing, cattle killing, but those are all livestock, different from people, I used to see dead people on TV, this time I saw me to tell you brother, my old king has left a shadow in his life"?
Wang Changfeng waved his hand, shook his head and said!
"Okay, Brother Wang, this matter is over, if you don't want to in the future, it's okay, don't always give something as if you're not sick, let you be scared out of your own illness if you're not sick"!
Zhang Ying said while comforting!
"Alas, I don't want to, a few glasses of wine in a while, and I will sleep well in the afternoon, and I won't tell you, I haven't fallen asleep since the shadow came back last night, and I didn't dare to close it when I waited in the room"!
Wang Changfeng said stupidly!
"Poof...... Brother Wang, you are so daring, I have also obeyed you."
"Okay, I'll have a few more drinks with you, and you can sleep well in the afternoon."
Zhang Ying couldn't hold back his laughter, and comforted Wang Changfeng while laughing!
"Shadow, your courage is too great, you are not afraid at all not to say it, it is like a very ordinary trivial thing to talk about it, brother, in addition to admiring you, the rest is only admiration"!
Wang Changfeng looked at Zhang Ying differently as he spoke, his eyes were full of small stars, just like those brainless fans saw a certain star!
"Brother Wang, what are you talking about, it's just because of the different industries we are engaged in and the things we have experienced are different, just like a doctor is busy with a scalpel on a person's body every day, dissecting, suturing and so on...... , daily contact with the dead, for them from the initial fear to the later numbness, has long been accustomed to it"!
Zhang Ying still comforted Wang Changfeng and said!
"Brother Wang, everyone's life is set from birth, and the path to be taken is not the same, so don't always think about some things that have passed, live a good life with peace of mind, and be happy every day, isn't it good"?
Zhang Ying continued!
"Well, brother, what you said is, if you haven't met this kind of thing, it's just a story to hear, and now that you have met it, you should have watched a horror movie, alas, after living for forty years, you actually found that you were so timid, it's really ...... What .....haha"!
After listening to Zhang Ying's words, Wang Changfeng also laughed at himself, but his heart was much more relaxed!
The two were chatting, and Liu Qing's voice came:
"Cousin, shadow brother, it's time to eat"
The two of them looked up at the clock in the living room, the time was really fast, it was already half past eleven, and then they saw that the dining room table was already full of a table of food, and the smell of food wafted over, and the two of them also responded to the sound and came to the table!
Several people sat down at the table in turn, Zhang Ying was given the first seat, Wang Changfeng and Liu Qing sat left and right, Liu Qing's daughter-in-law is still a unique characteristic of Lu Province, and after the meal was cooked, one person went to the living room to watch TV, waiting for the hot dish or the meal!
Zhang Ying glanced at it and said to the living room:
"Sister-in-law, it's not an outsider, don't be there, come and do it together"
"Brother, let's eat, I'm used to it, and then I went to the table, and I also listened to you talk, and I can hear it all right here!"
Liu Qing's daughter-in-law replied!
Zhang Ying did not persuade again, Lu Province is a state of etiquette, the hometown of Confucius, there were many rules in the early years, and the status of men and women was very different, plus the guests at home, women were cooking, and over time they developed the habit of "women don't go to the table", so despite modern times, this tradition has been maintained!
Regarding the habit of "women in Lu Province do not eat and do not eat", the outside world mistakenly thinks that this is an unreasonable thing left by the poisoning of Confucian and Mencian culture, in fact, Zhang Ying has read a lot of history books during his schooling, but the real meaning is not so!
In fact, many ancient examples have really interpreted this erroneous perception, such as:
Chapter 23 of "The Legend of the Water": The three of them sat on the building together, and the woman looked at Wu Da and said, "I will sit on the ground with my uncle, and you will arrange some wine and food to treat your uncle"? Wu Da should say: "It's better to —— second brother, you can sit down, and I will come!"
Wu Song and his brother and sister-in-law ate together, they all sat at the same table, and even the sister-in-law sat on the main seat, but they were all from Lu Province!
That is to say, as early as the Song and Yuan dynasties, when the etiquette was strict, Lu Province was the same table for men and women, and there was no saying that women did not serve at the table!
Another example:
In "The Outer History of Confucianism", Fan Jin went home from school, his mother and wife were all happy, and they were about to cook the pot for dinner, only to see his father-in-law, Hu Tuhu, holding a pair of big intestines and a bottle of wine, and walked in!
Fan Jin bowed to him and sat down. Fan Jin only made a sound, and asked the Tu family to boil the intestines, burn the wine, and sit under the thatched hut. Mother and daughter-in-law make dinner under the kitchen!
Hu Tuhu said again: "My mother also came here to sit and eat, and the old man has a daily side dish, and it is difficult to think about it!"
My girl also ate some and entered your house since she entered, and I don't know if I have eaten pig oil two or three times in the past ten years!
Speaking of which, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to sit and eat!
The old mother's father came to the house, Fan Jin accompanied, and after the old father's father allowed, Fan Jin's mother and daughter-in-law sat down to eat together!
Where is Fan Jin?—— "The old man of the Guifu Mansion is talking about entering the seventh place in the high school Guangdong Township Examination"! Therefore, the so-called "women do not go to the table" is only the habit of a specific family at a specific time, and has little to do with the region!
The reason why there is a rumor that "Shandong women don't go to the table" is actually in most Shandong villages, and the so-called "women don't go to the table" that is passed down as a story mainly refers to the dinner when the second daughter and son-in-law of the Lunar New Year return!
Shandong people respect their sons-in-law, call them "nobles", nobles come to the door, their peers and nephews will sit together, accompany the "nobles" to drink, because a table can not sit down, men and women sit separately, but the dishes are the same!
In this way, first, it is convenient for the clansmen to persuade the "nobles" to drink, and second, it is convenient for the daughters to have a good relationship with the daughters and sisters of their own clan, and there is no distinction between high and low nobles!
In fact, the difference between men and women is an ancient etiquette, which was written in the "Rules of Etiquette" written before the Han Dynasty: "For seven years, men and women do not eat together", which means that boys cannot eat at the same table with girls when they reach the age of 7!
