Chapter 124: Searching for Relatives in Yangzhou

Huang Yi personally helped Zhan Xiaomin put on the 'Yunqing Yingluo'.

Zhan Xiaomin blushed and didn't even dare to raise his head.

Huang Yi only felt that he was fascinated by what he watched. He came back to his senses and asked, "Xiaomin, what's wrong?"

Zhan Xiaomin's voice was as low as a mosquito: "You know, a man gives a woman a necklace." What kind of consciousness is it?"

Huang Yi was stunned for a while, thought for a long time and shook his head. If he said that he would give a ring, he would have known. Proposed, I haven't done it myself, and I've put a lot of TV on it.

Zhan Xiaomin said: "There are generally two interpretations of the meaning of a man's necklace for a woman. First, it has the meaning of taking homonyms. I gave you a necklace because I wanted to fall in love with you. Another explanation of the meaning of giving a girl's necklace is that it means tying up the other party, and sending a beloved necklace is to tie the other person's heart and not be snatched away by others. It also represents the consciousness of 'marriage snatching'. If the woman accepts, it means that she is willing to go with the man. ”

Huang Yi's mouth opened wide in surprise. Curiously asked, "If it's a homonym, there is indeed such a thing." After all, necklaces and love are indeed easy to read and confuse. But what does 'marriage robbery' mean?"

Zhan Xiaomin said with a smile: "It is said that the meaning of giving a women's necklace was originally to clarify the ownership. During the transition from matrilineal clans to patrilineal clans in primitive societies, women began to retire from the core of the clan and became vassals of men. In clan or tribal wars, the victor took the women of the opposing tribe as booty, and to prevent them from escaping, they often tied their necks and hands with a chain or rope. ”

Later, it gradually evolved into a custom in some places, that is, when a man and a woman officially got married, the woman was taken to the man in the way of "robbery", and at the same time, metal ornaments were put on the woman's neck or hands to show restraint, and gradually formed the custom of giving girls necklaces to boys. Nowadays, marriage robbery has long been eliminated, but chains to prevent women from escaping have evolved into ornaments made of gold, silver, and jewelry, and have become today's necklaces, collars, bracelets, bracelets, etc. ”

Huang Yi nodded thoughtfully.

Zhan Xiaomin smiled: "What are you thinking?"

"Hehe...... Huang Yi said with a strange smile: "I'm wondering, should I go back now and find out if there are any beautiful bracelets or bracelets." Hey hey ......"

Zhan Xiaomin's face blushed again. Then he said with a gloomy look: "I don't know what happened to my parents." I miss them so much. ”

Hearing what she said, Huang Yi remembered. Zhan Xiaomin's parents used to do business in the city of Yangzhou. Now Yangzhou seems to be occupied by Li Zitong.

Li Zitong, self-proclaimed emperor, country name Wu, year name Ming Zheng. It covers an area of Huiji in the east, Wuling in the south, Xuancheng in the west, and Taihu Lake in the north. Even Zhan Xiaomin's hometown, Dongyang County, is under its jurisdiction. History seems to record that Li Zitong was defeated by Du Fuwei of Xuancheng.

Huang Yi frowned and thought for a moment. led Zhan Xiaomin into the hall. Jumping slightly, he took the 'pecking sword' off the eaves.

Zhan Xiaomin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why did you take it out?"

Huang Yi sighed and said, "It is rumored that Li Zitong was poor when he was young and lived by fishing and hunting. When living in the township, when you see an old man with gray hair carrying heavy objects, he will definitely serve him, and if he has surplus wealth at home, he will help others! But it is also rumored that this person is narrow-minded, and he will take revenge even if he has a small grudge against others. Though we had no enmity with him in the past, we have no grudges today. But you can't be unprepared, or be careful. ”

Zhan Xiaomin was taken aback and said happily: "You want to take me to my parents?"

Huang Yi threw the sword into his left hand, stroked Zhan Xiaomin's hair lovingly with his right hand, and then said informally: "If you don't find your future father-in-law and mother-in-law, how can you marry me with peace of mind." ”

I heard the two titles of 'father-in-law and mother-in-law'. Zhan Xiaomin was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is the consciousness of father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Huang Yi smiled: "Tang Xuanzong Li ...... Well, there was an emperor in ancient times. Once "sealed Zen" Mount Tai, the Chinese book ordered Zhang to say that he was "sealed Zen" envoy. Zhang promoted his son-in-law Zheng Yi from a nine-rank official to a fifth-grade official at once. Later, Xuanzong asked about Zheng Yi's promotion, but Zheng Yi was speechless. The yellow banner on the side sneered: "This is the power of Mount Tai." Xuanzong Fang knew that Zhang was talking about favoritism, and he was very unhappy, so he immediately demoted Zheng Yi back to his original position. Later, people knew about the comparison, so they called their wives and fathers "Mount Tai". And because Mount Tai is the head of the five mountains, it is also called "father-in-law", and at the same time calls his wife and mother "mother-in-law". ”

Listening to this explanation, Zhan Xiaomin immediately blushed like a ripe apple. Huang Yi, who was watching, couldn't bear it anymore and kissed it......

On the second day, Huang Yi and Zhan Xiaomin only brought a small package. And set off for Yangzhou. The package contained only a change of clothes. As for silver, Huang Yi has always carried it with him. This package gave him the feeling of always lacking a sense of security.

A few days later, the two finally arrived in Yangzhou.

"Do you know where your parents used to be in business? Let's go there and see where first. Huang Yi said.

"Hmm!" Zhan Xiaomin nodded and led Huang Yi to the downtown area. Although Jiangdu is chaotic, the security in Yangzhou City is much better. After all, it was unified. Who dares to disobey? Then suppress whom!

The main confusion is the quarrel between some gang forces. Martial arts people come and go at will, after all, Li Zitong also has to absorb talents.

In fact, the whole world is the same, suffering. It will always be the ordinary people who are helpless.

The two of them came to a square, not far from the blacksmith's shop. But the blacksmith's shop was also closed.

Zhan Xiaomin pushed into a store. It is a shop that sells musical instruments. At this time, it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. There was dust everywhere.

The two walked out and looked around the staggered tables and stools. At a glance, you can see that it was a good thing to be troubled by that group of unscrupulous officials. There are several huge cabinets around the shop. There were some different signs hanging crookedly on the cabinet. Huang Yi looked at them one by one. It reads: "Guzheng, Pipa, Xiao, Di, Erhu, Gonghou, Chime, Body Sound Instrument, Membrane Song Instrument, Qi Song Instrument, and String Song Instrument." ”

Huang Yi has only seen the guzheng, pipa, Xiao and flute. He had never heard of any other musical instruments. At this time, there were no musical instruments on the cabinet at all. I don't know if Zhan Xiaomin's parents took it away, or if it was snatched away by those officials.

Zhan Xiaomin's eyes were red, and he lowered his head and sobbed. I tried desperately to hold back my tears, but I still shed them anyway.

Huang Yi stepped forward and hugged her and comforted, "It's going to be fine." These officials are just robbing money, and they will not hurt people. You see so many refugees have fled, and perhaps, your parents have fled. Let's go to your hometown first. ”

Zhan Xiaomin nodded. Go out with her.
