Chapter 296

Xia Ji stood under a peach tree and looked up at the sky above her head. Peach trees here are one by one, short and round one by one. They are trimmed very neatly, and the flowers are like big pink umbrellas. However, the peach blossom in Luyuan is not like this. It's a thousand year old peach tree with luxuriant branches and deep roots. Just one peach is enough to cover the wide sky.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it's just a traveler.

However, Xia Ji knows that Zheng is not her hometown either - only the place where the heart can inhabit is her hometown. Now, she hasn't found this paradise.

The edict of King Zhuang of Chu has come down, and the date of her departure has been set. Only when Lian Yin's house is ready and the diplomatic corps is complete, she will leave Danyang forever.

Although she promised to welcome xianglao's body back to Lianyin mansion, she knew that she would never return to this place again.

Here, even Zhulin is inferior.

Here, not even too many memories.

Zheng Guo's trip, in the end what kind of fate waiting for her, she dare not imagine. It's like Qu Wu, who comes and goes without a trace. Sometimes she thinks he is a child spirit, and sometimes she doesn't.

If Zi Ling, what kind of vicissitudes did he have to hide?

If it's not Zi Ling, how can he know her so well? How can he have Zi Ling's temperament, Zi Ling's habits, Zi Ling's unique behavior?

……

The riddles have not been solved. Moreover, she can not take the initiative to pursue, can only be forced to wait.

Slowly, her legs stiffened. It was a secluded place, with a small gate enclosing the garden alone, and the maids outside. Outside the wall is another sky.

She knew that no one would come today. Even the maids are few.

Because, this is the annual "Flower Festival".

At that time, the time of Huachao festival in different countries was not exactly the same, but the content was similar.

During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, people were extremely open to the outside world. War broke out year after year, and disasters occurred for thousands of miles. Therefore, the reproduction of Duoduo is a top priority for all countries.

However, at that time, the ancients lived a short life, were not so rich in materials, had a generally low fertility rate, and had no way to cure infertility. After every war, many widows were left unattended.

Of course, the state can't let these widows be idle, so they find an excuse to continue the ancient "group marriage system".

This is one of the functions of Huachao Festival.

On this day, young men and women will go to the river to meet and revel. When the sun sets, the people who have the right eyes will fall in love with each other and find a hiding place to linger at will.

Especially those who have not been married long ago, those who have not yet given birth Often soon after the festival, the baby will be born and be happy to have a child.

It can be said that this is a disguised form of early group marriage system in human history. In addition to the strict morality between close relatives, it is extremely common for widows to remarry and widowers to remarry. Even if a widow is pregnant with another child, it's not what everyone says. Otherwise, after Xiaji had an affair with eight or nine men, so many ministers in the world wanted to marry her home.
