When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 109 Self-denial is the hardest

People of the Changxin clan need to cross one hundred and eight braziers one after another. Each brazier takes five seconds, so it takes 540 seconds, which is 9 minutes.

After nine minutes of high-temperature disinfection, the men on the left and the women on the right entered the soup pool. They had to take off their clothes themselves and throw them into the fire pit to be burned. Then they received new clothes prepared by the Xin family.

Under the threat that they would offend the gods if they were reluctant to part with them, the Changxin clan gritted their teeth and threw away their covering clothes, entered the fire pond, and then went into the pool to take a bath.

The slaves on Xin's side are already in place, washing the dust, washing the sand, brushing the mud, twisting the hair, shaving, bathing, wiping themselves, and changing clothes.

When they walked out of the bathhouse where the Xin family lived, they looked at the other Xin family members who were wearing the same style of linen clothes as them, but missing sleeves. They couldn't help but sigh at the richness of Xin family's life.

Although this thing was only realized by the Xin family in the past half month.

"Dear relatives, the patriarch has prepared a banquet, please come with me." The slave girl with a sweet smile came to greet her in a long dress, which made the men and women of the Changxin clan feel inexplicably frightened.

So many beauties!Dress well!
A slave girl with the Xin clan can dress so well. What kind of fairy tribe are these?
Feeling inferior even more.

"Uncle Tuo!" Xinqu also went to take a bath, but he went home and took a bath himself. He really couldn't stand the big bathhouse culture. After all, he was a southerner who traveled through time.

Feng Tuo looked at Xin Qu's clothes, which were typical of the Shang aristocrats.

Yes, handing over collars was not invented in the Zhou Dynasty. There was already handing over collars in the Shang Dynasty.

However, high-ranking nobles in the Shang Dynasty generally wore short clothes on the upper body, with the right lapel collar, the length of the clothes reached the hips, the sleeves reached the wrists, and the cuffs were narrow. Wear pointed shoes.

Other nobles also wear hip-length shorts on their upper bodies, with straight collars and long sleeves.He wears a long hakama with flowers on his lower body, shoes on his feet, and a neck-shaped crown on his head.

Xinqu, on the other hand, wore a cross-collared dress that reached to his knees, and a belt made of dragon skin. The belt buckle also had a jade tiger face, which made him look powerful and domineering. He wore cropped shorts, straight leg, and then Straw sandals.

Wearing this is also to keep cool. After all, Changping is still under high pressure and the temperature is not low.

Feng Tuo's eyes lit up when he saw Xin Qu dressing up: "This jade-faced beast is so domineering. Is it a mythical beast that Xin got from which tribe?"

"Haha, this is what I ordered people to beat. It's called Bian." Xin Qu said with a smile, "It looks like a tiger. Legend has it that this beast is majestic, righteous, hates evil as much as hatred, and can control the house and ward off evil spirits. I like it very much. .”

"Tiger face? Hmm... He is indeed handsome, but his temperament is mixed."

Feng Tuo stroked his trimmed beard and took a look: "It should be the jade from Huaiyi. It is earthy yellow. It is said that it comes from the tribe further south... What is it called?"

"Hey, Uncle Tuan still has good eyesight. However, although they are of the same category, this is Qianshantian yellow frozen stone. I picked it up from the old forests of the Northeast, a tribe affiliated with the Guzhu clan. I dislike this field. There were two spots on the frozen stone, which were difficult to carve, so I spent two kilograms of millet to get them back.

It's as big as a palm and so thick, so I asked Yuquan to help me fiddle with it. These two spots are just for eyes, so it looks lifelike! "

"Oh! Okay! What a stroke of genius!" Feng Yan boasted. If he looked carefully at the eyes of this beast, he could indeed see two white spots, which were deliberately covered with yellow to form a pair of pupils.

No wonder it was so lifelike at first glance!

"Awesome! It turns out you can play carving like this. I've learned a lot!"

"Oh? Didn't Uncle Tuo see the jade craftsman make it?"

"Well, jade is usually carved with mythical beasts and gods. However, the merchant nobles of Dayi are desperately trying to save bronze, and our Changxin family is also trying to save bronze, so there are not many jade craftsmen, and the children are not willing to learn."

Feng Tuo shook his head. Chang Xin's love for jade has long been inferior to that of his ancestors.

"That's not okay. We can't throw away the inheritance of our ancestors. Besides, merchants in Dayi also like to play with jade. It's just that the Ninth Generation Rebellion has made a mess recently, so they have to save bronze. When necessary, they can be turned into weapons." Xin Qu's words made Feng Yan couldn't help but nod: "That's how it should be."

"Clan leader, everything is set up. It's time to have a banquet and serve dumplings."

"Okay!" Xin Qu shouted: "Dried bracken and venison dumplings, haven't you tried them before? Come on, try them!"

Xin Qu took Feng Tuo to the table. In addition to dumplings, there were also some dried fruit bread slices on the table. They were all baked within the past three days. They were hard!

But you can drink dumpling soup.

Members of the Xin family were also present at the banquet, helping the guests of the Xin family to eat one-on-one.

Of course, there were also a group of guys who poked their heads out and looked pitifully at the Xin clan members who were serving the table.

"Okay, okay, why are you all staying here?" Bing Jia passed by and helplessly asked these people to leave.

"Isn't it because I can't learn how to use chopsticks and other etiquette that I don't have a chance to serve it? Woohoo... Bracken and venison dumplings are delicious!" The boy who spoke obviously didn't notice Bing Jia's twitching face. He asked curiously, "It's strange, Brother Bingjia didn't come to the table either? Is it because he's busy?"

"I'm on duty today and I'm too lazy to change!" Bing Jia suppressed his heart that was vomiting blood and wiped the corners of his mouth, "Give Shi Wu who was drawn a day, so that he can take the child to try new things."

"That's it! Brother Bingjia is quite nice."

"..."

Bing Jia snorted and walked away, turned a corner, and leaned against the wall with a heartbroken look on his face!

He went to the kitchen to eat one of these bracken and venison dumplings that he had worked so hard to make. It tasted really good, but he just didn't understand what etiquette went through for Mao to eat?What's the use of this?
But the Changxin clan members obviously saw it.

The one who eats gracefully and calmly is the Xin family, and the momentum of the Chang Xin family who eats haphazardly has been suppressed.

They eat dumplings with chopsticks, not only do they eat slower than them, but they don't worry about getting burned.

After all, the dumplings were served right after they came out of the pot. I took a bite with a spoon and burned my mouth and poured the broth all over the table. It was a waste.

Some of the Xin clan members took a bite, and the soup fell on the plate. Then they poured the soup on the dry bread with a spoon, ate it clean, and then wiped their mouths with handkerchiefs.

The same goes for eating. Once this etiquette is established and the crowd increases, its power will be revealed.

Feng Tuo and Xin Qu drank two glasses of chrysanthemum wine. They turned around and saw half a feast for the eyes and half a group of demons dancing wildly until they stiffened and lowered their heads. They didn't know that their own people were about to feel inferior.

"It's just a meal, there's no need for this." Feng Tuo laughed.

"Calmness should come from the heart." Xin Qu said calmly, "Only in this way can we be unafraid in the face of danger and remain unchanged even if a mountain collapses in front of us.

At the same time, he can also recognize himself from the bottom of his heart, and his family name is the Xin family.

This is called self-denial.After all, restraining one's own behavior is the most difficult thing in the world. If they can even do such a small thing as eating well, then they can also restrain their soldiers in the future expedition. Such an army can produce combat effectiveness the fastest. "

Feng Tuo held the wine glass and looked at the Xin clan members again. He kindly taught the Chang Xin clan members who asked them about table manners.

Everything shows that the Xin family has its own set of rules, and unlike the Chang Xin family, there is an "inexplicable nobility" in it.
I don’t know whether it’s good or bad, but it looks really good.
