Hagi Niang felt that her outlook on life had been greatly impacted, this child, whom she had always loved as her own brother, actually stood in front of her, announcing that her future life goal was to fight, to be a big official than Xie Yan, and then to marry herself as a wife? The strange thing is that this child is still three years younger than himself, and what is even more strange is that he is only thirteen years old.

What were the minds of the ancients going on? Isn't this a real play of puppy love between two junior high school students or elementary school students?

What kind of rhythm is this? What should I say at this time? Hagi almost wanted to scream.

I never expected it.

She struggled to clean up her fragmented emotions, sorted out the key points in what he said, and asked, "You, Brother Liu, can you really take care of you?" The barracks are miserable, are you sure you can stand it? ”

Liu Jinu was very nervous when he said this, he was afraid that Hagi Niang would not take his words seriously and underestimate him, and he was afraid that Hagi Niang would blame him for wanting to compete with Xie Yan, and he would no longer like him. When he heard that Haginiang was really concerned about himself, he couldn't help but be very happy, and when he talked about his big brothers, he gushed endlessly: "My brother Liu's name is Liu Gaozhi, and he is a very powerful person, do you know that he joined the army?" In charge of many soldiers, his brothers are very convinced of him, and they also like me, I will be fine when I go to the barracks, you can rest assured. I was hungry when I was a child, and I was the most able to endure hardship. He also has a son who is about the same age as me, named Liu Jingxuan, and we had a good time. ”

His young eyes were full of yearning, which showed that he really wanted to go to the military camp to train, not just for her.

Hagi Niang was half relieved, and she said encouragingly: "In this case, it's good to go through the experience, the boy should be ambitious in all directions." ”

This kind of gentle encouragement is most effective for a child like Jinu.

He said very fondly: "Exactly, it's just that you can't go in and out as you like now, and you have to take care of yourself." ”

Hagi Niang nodded from kindness and said, "En, you can rest assured of me, I am the best at taking care of myself." Now that the Zheng family can't make waves, I don't know how safe it is. ”

She thought of Cai Tang again, and instructed him: "Cai Tang trusts you the most, so say goodbye to her before you leave." ”

The slave was not happy, but he told Hagi Niang: "Although Caitang is to protect you, but Xie Yan is more than you, she must listen to Xie Yan's words more, you must not trust her too much." ”

Hagi Niang hadn't thought about this question before, and when she heard him say it, she felt that it made a lot of sense, but she didn't know what she had that was worth Xie Yan to harm herself, so she could only reluctantly agree.

Cai Tang came in happily with a bowl of milk cake, and she said proudly: "Brother Jinu, try it, what about the pastries I made myself, I have tasted them, and they are quite delicious." ”

The slave wanted to ignore her, but her beaming face was really sincere, and her master personally came to intercede with the girl for her, so that she would not have to worry about her identity in the future, and she could serve by the girl's side with peace of mind.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, the slave had to take the delicate pastry and eat it one bite at a time.

It's delicious.

Milk is the food that ethnic minorities in the Northern Dynasties are accustomed to eating, it has not been widely eaten in Jiangdong at that time, Caitang has practiced several times, tried to remove the fishy smell in the milk with various spices, leaving only the sweet and rich frankincense, and the taste is very good.

While eating, the slave said, "I'm talking to Sister Hagi, I'll go to join the army tomorrow, and I won't come here very much in the future." ”

Caitang's joy disappeared immediately, and his little face turned pale. She looked at the slave nervously and said, "You're going to fight the northerners?" They're all savage and terrible. Their horses are so strong that they can trample on the dead, and their weapons are so long and heavy that they can split the carriage with a single sword...... her face became worse and worse, and she choked weakly, "My mother...... It was ...... by them Killed ...... And my younger brother who is still in my infancy......"

Seeing that she was about to cry, Jinu hurriedly comforted her: "Not necessarily, just go to learn kung fu first, train soldiers or something, how can anyone go to the battlefield all of a sudden, don't worry too much." Sister Hagi said, 'Good men are ambitious in all directions'. ”

Cai Tang glanced at Hagi Niang disapprovingly, but he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.

Hagi Niang hurriedly persuaded her: "After all, the slave is a man, how can there be a reason to drill into the pile of women every day." You care about him so much, although it is for his good, but he also has his own ideals and goals, you have to understand and tolerate it. ”

Cai Tang reluctantly replied, "Yes, girl." ”

In the winter of the ninth year of the Taiyuan Dynasty, under the extravagant atmosphere of the Jiangzuo aristocracy, incense was a common hobby of almost all men and women in the family.

The Jin Dynasty was a war-torn dynasty, and because the imperial court had no spare energy to care about the spiritual world of the people, it was also the time when foreign culture and local culture collided with each other and burst out with the most brilliant light.

At that time, religion was very free, and even in the upper echelons of the scholars, there were people who loved to talk about Taoism and Buddhism. One of the more popular and fashionable things is that there is both Taoism and Buddhism, and it is a very elegant thing to use Taoism and Buddha nature to refute and confirm each other in Qing or Xuan Tan.

In addition to the rituals, the types of incense used in daily life are also changing.

In the Han Dynasty, daylilies were used to burn incense directly, which was called "thatched incense". In the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, resin spices such as borneol and Suhe from the South China Sea and even the Far West were introduced into the Middle Earth, and such spices were fragrant and fragrant far better than thatch, so they gradually occupied a dominant position.

Hundreds or even thousands of years later, the "Boshan furnace", a unique utensil for incense, was first produced at that time. The towering incense burner shape combined with the small holes at the top of the mountain peaks makes the smoke very soothing, so it has become popular and widely used.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, due to the prevalence of Buddhism, the shape of the Boshan furnace also began to change to the Buddhist holy flower lotus. Due to the continuous improvement of porcelain firing skills, the Boshan furnace of blue glaze and even white porcelain has gradually had successful firing products, and it is no longer a single copper utensil.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty Emperor Sima Yao's palace in this crystal clear white porcelain lotus type Boshan furnace, is the official kiln at that time into the rare fine products, it is white as jade, the incense ash plate is in the middle of two intertwined dragon with a white lotus, the petals are carved very finely, and the light and rich smoke is trickling out from the small hole at the top of the lotus petals.

The young emperor was recuperating with his eyes closed, his ornate regular clothes wider than those of ordinary officials, with long sleeves and elaborate patterns sewn on the bottom of the hem. Regardless of his identity, his appearance is also very handsome, he can be called an outstanding beautiful man, and because of his long-term panic and uneasy character, his body is also long and weak.

The palace built by Jiankang in a hurry is not luxurious, but after all, the layout has a royal atmosphere and has a somewhat solemn atmosphere.

This silent scene is very interesting, the melancholy man sits alone on the couch in a fine costume, surrounded by smoke, and the lotus incense burner at his feet is as sacred and elegant as the lotus seat at the feet of Guanyin.
