Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The arc bow and the king bow are both strong bows, starting at least thirty stones. The difference between the two is that the king bow is domineering, while the arc bow is more dexterous. Both are among the six bows.

    The materials used are Lushan wood, rhinoceros horn, and fief bamboo. Although the materials are not unusual, in the hands of craftsmen, these ordinary materials will be given new life through processing and bonding.

    Ji She is amazing. Compared with experts, his craftsmanship is completely impractical and not elegant.  Watching Si Qu work is a kind of enjoyment. It is definitely not just a technique, but also a state of mind.

    Even the Dragon Girl and Ling were watching, as well as the fief¡¯s taxis and savage children. They all gathered outside the fence and it was even more lively than the Laba Festival.

    The Laba Festival is the Spring Festival of the Western Zhou Dynasty. There is no concept of Spring Festival yet. The so-called Laba Festival is to worship the eight ancestors and gods without drinking Laba porridge. It is just because it is held in the twelfth lunar month of the lunar calendar, which is the last month of the lunar calendar, so it is called the Laba Festival.  A festival to worship eight gods in the twelfth lunar month.

    As for the specific time period of the twelfth lunar month when the Laba Festival is held, it all depends on the situation and is decided by the princes themselves.

    So the Laba Festival can be regarded as the Spring Festival of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

    Si Qu has no stage fright when showing off his skills in front of everyone. He devotes himself wholeheartedly to his work, often sweating profusely without even realizing it.

    In order to give the old man some strength, Yunyao also spent a lot of money on salted fish and meat for every meal. Si Qu didn't take it seriously. In the past, the nobles asked him to spend even more money, and Yunyao ate some salted fish for himself.  Bacon is simply cheaper for her.

    Because the salt supplement is sufficient, the old man is in good spirits and full of energy for work every day.  He and his disciple are now living in the thatched cottage in the south, while he and Ling have moved to Yunyao's room. After all, they have to practice together at night.

    After the arc bow is formed, it must be continuously adjusted to ensure that the force on both sides is the same when pulling the bow, so as to avoid uneven force on the bow string and causing the arrow to fly randomly.

    In fact, archery is really about the feel of the bow. After all, today¡¯s bows are hand-made without precise calibration. The arrows that are shot will drift wherever they go. Only after use and running-in can you truly grasp the character of a bow.

    But before the bow was completed, Yunyao welcomed a luxurious guest.

    That girl Zhang came with a convoy of people to thank Yunyao for saving her life.

    "Why are you so polite?" Yunyao didn't expect that the other party sent a large amount of millet and cloth coins. How could she collect them?  Their warehouse is not that spacious, with enough space for three cars and a load of groceries.

    "If you hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have been able to avenge my brother. You deserve this." Zhang Nu has changed a lot. She is no longer the little girl who was worried about gains and losses and married into the country of Lu. She is strong and decisive.  .

    "Then I'm welcome." Yunyao said.  She was a little surprised because she found that two familiar women were also in the convoy.  On the day of the accident, Yunyao transported two groups of people across the river. The first group was a pair of women who looked like mother and daughter. Now they were also in Zhang's team.

    This is too much of a coincidence. Yunyao has a very good memory, so she will definitely not remember it wrong.  I remember that Zhang Nu¡¯s brother was very vigilant at the time, just to guard against outsiders, worried that someone would do something wrong to them.

    strangeness.

    But Yunyao didn¡¯t show it, she just seemed flattered, and then accepted the windfall unceremoniously.

    "Even if you saved someone, you shouldn't accept so many gifts." Ji Jiang felt that Yunyao was going too far. There were too many thank-you gifts, and their value almost exceeded Yunyao's fief.

    "Of course I will accept it, so that people all over the world will know that saving people is rewarded, and they will imitate me one after another, and the world will become better." Yunyao said that this is what Confucius said a thousand years later.  The old man said that he accepted these valuable gifts solely to promote social righteousness, set a moral example, and let people in the world imitate him and do more good deeds.

    this?  !  Not only Ji Jiang, but also everyone else was stunned. They had not considered the impact. They did not expect that Yunyao could explain some truth when saving people and receiving gifts. It was indeed extraordinary.

    Si Qu even smiled and said: "Now I believe that you have really conquered the ridge, and your deeds have been spread throughout the country." Because the song "Zhu Nu Conquers the Ridge" by her husband has been spread, the cause and effect are very  It was clear, and the core was such a lofty thought as "walking the path for heaven", so it spread very quickly, and it has been recorded in the history of the country by the historians of the State of Lu.

    In the eyes of the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty, this story is very exciting, and the core idea it conveys is also very consistent with the current spiritual outlook of the Western Zhou Dynasty. After all, not long ago, the Zhou Dynasty also killed the Yin Shang Dynasty on behalf of Tian Xingdao, and also used good to defeat evil, which is exactly the same as the poem.  Same.

    Yunyao herself didn¡¯t even know she was famous.

      Si Qu found Yunyao very interesting: "Your way of looking at the world is very unique, but you also have an awakening sensitivity."

    "My father-in-law gave me a reward."

    Ms. Zhang wanted to live there, so she formed a simple city wall around the car and set up a simple tent inside. Because the temperature was not low, there was no need to worry about getting cold at night.

    The inside of the leather tent is covered with thin silk, and lavender is heated to prevent mosquitoes.  Ms. Zhang is a child of a wealthy family and is now married to a wealthy man. She travels in a very grand manner. Even different foods are carried by different people. She travels with fifty retainers.

    Now news has come from the Song Dynasty that all the Zhang family's small clans who dared to test Zhou Li's bottom line have been killed. The Zhang family's property was inherited by Zhang's daughter. Except for the loss of the title, not a penny was lost.

    ¡°So Ms. Zhang is now very wealthy, and even her husband¡¯s family has to give her face.  In the Western Zhou Dynasty, dowry was a woman's private property, and her husband's family had no right to interfere. Therefore, a woman with a large dowry had a high status in her husband's family, and a woman with a small dowry had a low status.  Now all the property and fiefdom of the Zhang family have become Zhang's dowry. Her status in her husband's family is higher than that of her husband. Her parents-in-law are closer to her than to her own son.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Zhang Nu¡¯s property was thanked to Yunyao, but her husband¡¯s family did not dare to say a word, because she could spend whatever she wanted to do with Zhang Nu¡¯s property.

    Luxury, Yunyao discovered that Zhang Nu still had a refrigerator with her.  To be precise, it is a bronze tripod filled with ice cubes, with fruits and fresh fish frozen inside.

    This is sashimi. Yunyao realized that the real life of the Western Zhou aristocrats was beyond her imagination.

    ¡°I don¡¯t envy myself, I want to cultivate immortality, I want to see through the world of mortals, Yunyao hypnotizes herself to avoid being jealous.  In fact, there is no need for her to be jealous, because the nobles can only show off in this way, and they usually only eat like that.

    "You're welcome, let's eat." Ms. Zhang invited Yunyao to come to her tent. The retainers performed their duties. Each retainer had a job. The number of retainers also showed that Ms. Zhang's family was indeed rich to a certain extent.  .

    What Yunyao cared about were the two familiar strangers. While eating fruit and sashimi, he quietly observed them, worried that they would be harmful to Zhang Nu.

    "Why don't we let the two Zhuyou witches tell our fortunes for us." While they were chatting, Zhang Nu began to engage in feudal superstition again.

    Yunyao knew that she was one of the Song people who was most prone to this trick. She was even doing divination before getting married, but she didn¡¯t expect to come now?

    When two familiar strangers came forward, Yunyao finally figured out their identities. It turned out that they were witches, a group of people who specialize in fortune telling.
