Nightmare Attack

Vol 3 Chapter 1421: hydrangea

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

The people in Jiangcheng planned to continue looking for clues in the city. The energy of everyone on the road was inevitably attracted by the so-called hydrangea. The fat man couldn't help but said, "Is the hydrangea just like in ancient movies, where the woman stands on a high platform and her back is turned to the stage?" Throw the hydrangea vigorously, and a group of men below will grab it, and whoever grabs the hydrangea will marry the woman on the stage."

Jiang Cheng shook his head and corrected him: "It's all modern people's film and television processing, and it can't be true. In ancient times, there was a deep sense of family status, and marriage was even more about being well-matched. If a lady from a big family, if the hydrangea is snatched by a beggar on the street, wouldn't it be true?" Commit yourself to marry? Even if a woman is willing, her family will not agree."

After being popularized by science, the fat man nodded again and again, "So that's how it is."

But before he finished speaking, Tang Qisheng shook his head, "Brother Jiang is right, but not accurate enough. The custom of throwing hydrangea **** is not completely fictional, and its prototype can be found in ancient times."

"Zhou Qufei, a scholar of the Song Dynasty, mentioned in his book "Lingnan Dai Answers": If a man and a woman are successful, then the woman loves the mound and the man is married. It probably means that the ethnic minorities in the Lingnan area have a habit of throwing hydrangea **** to make friends. According to the custom, as long as a man and a woman see each other correctly, the woman will throw a flying weight at the man, and the man will catch it, and the two will reach a tacit understanding and start interacting with each other."

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

"I have read some records in this regard. Some Han people in relatively remote areas were gradually influenced by this custom. They began to talk about throwing hydrangea **** to recruit relatives, but the process and causes are different from what we thought. It is quite special. Some Marriage is hindered by family status, so it is not convenient to get married normally, so this exotic custom is borrowed, but the difference is that when the woman throws the hydrangea ball, the audience is not a mess of passers-by, but all of them are reserved by the intentional groom. Now, apart from the groom, the rest of the audience are also the groom’s family and friends, so after the hydrangea is thrown, only the groom picks it up, so the hydrangea will definitely fall into the hands of this person, which will avoid many unnecessary embarrassments.”

"Of course, this kind of custom is rarely used, and it is mostly used in some special circumstances, such as men and women stealing the forbidden fruit, and a woman conceived a child. The conditions are worse, and the woman's family can only pinch their noses and admit that they are unlucky, but in order to make a scene, and especially to highlight the family status of the woman's family, they came up with the idea of ​​throwing hydrangea."

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

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

"According to what you mean, women generally throw hydrangeas in order to marry a man whose family status is not as good as hers?" Yao Shunyu asked.

Tang Qisheng nodded slowly, "That's right, and the family status in this case is usually much worse, otherwise not many people would have endured this humiliation in ancient times when face was valued more than life."

As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere suddenly became weird, and everyone couldn't help but think of Zhennanhou and his wife.

The hydrangea is naturally thrown by women and snatched by men. There is no doubt about this mother, but if you think about it, doesn't it mean that the wife is married to the former Zhennan Hou, which means that the status of the wife's family is much higher than that of the former Zhennan Hou? The unprosperous Marquis of Zhennan.

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 it was because his wife came from a humble background and was not worthy of writing a surname, but now it seems that is not the case at all. This lady's origin is far superior to that of Zhennanhou, and there is a high probability that she wants to hide this history if she does not write her surname and biography.

Why?

What is the origin of the lady?

Still need to hide...

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

The more I think about Jiangcheng, the more frightened I feel. Many details that I couldn't figure out before, or even didn't notice, all jumped out. General Guo and his party went to search for the Bliss Building when they were weakest. The security measures must be extremely strict, and Mrs. Not to mention, there is still a chance to detonate the gunpowder. All of this is definitely not something ordinary people can do. If you say... If you say that your wife has a relationship with General Guo, or is from the same lineage , then this is very easy to explain, and all these unreasonable things can be explained!

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

It's still too early to think about this, everyone dispersed after walking out of the gate of the Hou's mansion, looking for clues and the trace of Lu Qin Shaotong.

But no one noticed at all. When they parted in front of the Hou Mansion, two eyes stared at them quietly not far away. Lu Qin Shaotong, who had already changed his attire, was hiding among several early-rising vendors. Silently watching all this, 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 Shaotong. Her dissatisfaction with Shaotong has not been a day or two~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Shaotong shrugged innocently Shrugged, "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 it's because he's a lucky person with his own aura." Shaotong explained aggrievedly, but the cunning hidden in his eyes made Lu Qin shudder.

Lu Qin lowered her voice, leaned forward, stared at her eyes, and was very close to Shao Tong, "I warn you, don't play any tricks, I can bring you out, or send you back, and let you stay there forever in a ward until death."

Shaotong saluted obliquely, and replied very seriously: "I understand, my lord breeder, I will obey you in everything."

Seeing that he hadn't caught Shao Tong's opening, Lu Qin aimed at Jiang Cheng's back again, and made a decision after a while, "Go, let's follow, the problem should be on him."
