Nightmare Attack

After saying this, General Yuwen stopped talking nonsense and turned to leave.

Jiang Cheng and his party planned to continue to the city to look for clues. On the way, everyone's energy was inevitably attracted by the so-called hydrangea. The fat man couldn't help but said: "Isn't the hydrangea just like what was shown in ancient movies, where a woman stands on a high platform with her back to the stage?" The embroidered ball will be thrown hard, and a group of men below will grab it. Whoever grabs the hydrangea will be married to the woman on the stage. "

Jiang Cheng shook his head and corrected: "Those are all modern people's film and television processing, and they can't be true. In ancient times, family ties were very deep, and marriages were more about being well-matched. If a lady from a wealthy family had her hydrangea snatched away by a beggar on the street, would it be wrong? Do you want to commit yourself to marriage? Even if the woman is willing, her family will not agree. "

After being exposed to the popular science, the fat man nodded repeatedly, "So that's it."

But before he finished speaking, Tang Qisheng shook his head, "Brother Jiang is right, but not accurate enough. The custom of throwing embroidered balls is not completely fictitious, and the prototype can also be found in ancient times."

"Zhou Qufei, a scholar from the Song Dynasty, once mentioned in his book "Lingnan Replies": If a man and a woman are married, the woman will love the weight and the man will be married. This probably means that ethnic minorities in the Lingnan area have the habit of throwing hydrangeas to make friends. It is a custom that as long as a man and a woman look at each other, the woman will throw a flying weight to the man, and the man will catch it, and the two will reach a tacit understanding and start to interact with each other.

"The so-called flying weight is the predecessor of the hydrangea."

"I have read some records in this regard. Han people in some relatively remote areas have gradually been affected by this custom and began to throw hydrangeas to attract relatives. However, the process and causes are different from what we think. It is rather special and some Due to family status, marriage is not convenient for normal union, so this exotic custom is borrowed. But the difference is that when the woman throws the embroidered ball, the audience is not a mess of passers-by, but all of them are reserved by the groom's party. "In addition to the groom, the rest of the audience are also the groom's family and friends. In this way, after the hydrangea is thrown, only the groom will pick it up, so the hydrangea will definitely fall into this person's hands, which will avoid many unnecessary embarrassments."

"Of course, the frequency of this custom is rarely used, and it is mostly used in some special circumstances, such as when a man and a woman secretly eat forbidden fruits and a woman is pregnant with a child. In ancient times, this was a great shame and a disgrace to the family, so even if the man The conditions were worse, and the woman’s family could only hold their noses and accept the bad luck, but in order to make a scene, and especially to highlight the family’s family status, they resorted to throwing and grabbing hydrangeas. "

"It probably means that the man must stand out from the crowd of competitors through robbing, so that he can get close to the woman and get the chance to get her son-in-law."

Tang Qisheng's explanation was very detailed and well-founded. Even Zhang Qizheng and Li Bai couldn't help but admire this man's extensive knowledge, but after thinking about it, another doubt surfaced.

"According to your opinion, women usually throw embroidered balls to marry men whose family status is inferior to hers?" Yao, Shun and Yu asked.

Tang Qisheng nodded slowly, "Yes, and in this case, the family status will usually be much different. Otherwise, in ancient times when face was more important than life, not many people would bear this humiliation."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became weird, and everyone couldn't help but think of Zhennan Hou and his wife.

There is no doubt that hydrangeas are thrown away by women and snatched by men, but if you think about it this way, doesn’t it mean that the wife is married to the former Marquis of Zhennan, which means that the status of the family to which the wife once belonged was much higher than that in the future. The prosperous Zhennanhou.

This made the already complicated situation even more confusing. Jiang Cheng immediately thought of his wife's tombstone in the backyard. There was no name or surname on the tombstone. At first, he thought that the lady was from a humble background and was not worthy of writing her surname. But now it seems that is not the case at all. This lady's background is far superior to that of the former Marquis of Zhennan. If she doesn't include her surname and life story, there is a high probability that she wants to hide this part of her history.

Why?

What is Madam's background?

It actually needs to be hidden...

A series of doubts popped up, and Jiang Cheng instantly thought of General Guo's tombstone again. He remembered clearly that General Guo's tombstone was very close to his wife's tombstone. Could it be that there was some kind of connection between the two people? ?

The more he thought about Jiangcheng, the more frightened he became. Many details that he had not figured out before or even not noticed jumped out. General Guo and his party went to look for Jile Building when he was at his weakest. The security measures must be extremely strict, and Mrs. But he was able to get on the ship, not to mention, he actually had the opportunity to detonate gunpowder. All of this is definitely not something ordinary people can do. If... if it is said that Madam and General Guo are related, or from the same lineage , then this is easy to explain, and all these unreasonable things will be explained!

Jiang Cheng told his guess, and soon everyone was shocked by this guess. Although there is not enough evidence yet, this bold guess has been imprinted in everyone's minds.

It's too early to think about this now. After everyone walked out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, they dispersed and looked for clues and traces of Lu Qin Shaotong.

But no one noticed at all. When they separated in front of the Hou Mansion, two eyes were staring at them quietly not far away. Lu Qin Shaotong, who had already changed his clothes, was hiding among several early traders. Watching all this silently, Lu Qin's face darkened instantly after seeing the lively fat man.

"How could he still be alive?" A trace of undisguised doubt flashed in Lu Qin's eyes, and then she looked at Shao Tong. She had been dissatisfied with Shao Tong for more than a day or two.

Shaotong shrugged innocently, "Don't look at me. I don't know. I have really modified their memory. What they took back must be those pairs of fur shoes. You also asked those vendors later. You shouldn't doubt me."

"Then how do you explain that Wang Fugui survived?" Lu Qin asked.

"Then who are you asking? Maybe he has his own destiny." Shaotong explained aggrievedly, but the cunning hidden in his eyes made Lu Qin shudder.

Lu Qin lowered his voice, moved closer, stared into his eyes, and was very close to Shaotong, "I'm warning you, don't play any tricks. I can take you out, or I can send you back, and let you stay there for the rest of your life." Inside a ward until death."

Shaotong gave a crooked salute and replied very seriously: "I understand, my breeder, I will listen to you in everything."

Seeing that he couldn't catch Shao Tong's flaw, Lu Qin pointed his finger at Jiang Cheng's back. After a moment, he made a decision, "Let's go, let's follow him. The problem should be with him."
