Chapter 4 Is this the Qin Dynasty?
"The strong man will rest here tonight!" Guo Dian said respectfully to Li Niandao in front of a palace.
Looking at the palace in front of him, Li Nian nodded. This should be his residence tonight.
"I don't have any eyesight, why don't you come and serve the strong man!" Guo Dian was very polite to Li Nian, but not so polite to other chamberlains and maids.
Under Guo Dian's scolding, more than a dozen chamberlains and maids hurriedly walked out of the palace and welcomed Li Nian into the palace.
Entering the room, Guo Dian asked: "Should the strong man rest directly or wash himself first?"
As if thinking of something, Guo Dian added: "Do the strong men need to eat?"
>Li Nian: “…”
Seeing that Li Nian didn’t understand, Guo Dian turned to the servants and maids waiting aside and said, "Why don't you prepare hot soup for the strong man? I'll wait for you to serve the strong man. I'll go and come back!"
After that, he said to Li Niandao : "Stand here, strong man, Guo will come back as soon as he leaves!"
Guo Dian left the palace, and Li Nian didn't know why he was there. He couldn't speak the language and couldn't communicate with these people. He had to stand in the palace and look at the palace and observe the chamberlains and maids.
'There are no tables and chairs in the room. It is said that the earliest era of chairs in our country was the Han Dynasty. That is, if I traveled to ancient China, then this place was probably before the Han Dynasty, and before the Han Dynasty... '
Recalling some of the things he saw in the palace just now, the clothes of the majestic man, the clothes of the guards, as well as the glimpse of the bamboo slips and the writing, Li Nian's heart moved, 'Should I Will it last until the Qin Dynasty? '
He has not studied history carefully, but he still knows some things in history. For example, the writing of the Qin Dynasty was Xiaozhuan, the Qin Dynasty was black, there were no tables and chairs in the Qin Dynasty, people were popular in sitting on the floor, and what he saw in Lintong The shape of the terracotta warriors and horses that I arrived at, the more I look at them, the more they look like the guards around me...
'I should have traveled to the Qin Dynasty... Not necessarily, it may be a certain period of the pre-Qin Dynasty. But if it was really the Qin Dynasty, could that heroic man be...? ’
Li Nian's heart jumped suddenly, and a series of titles came to his mind.
"Ancestor Dragon", "First Emperor", "Ying Zheng", "Zhao Zheng", "Qin Shihuang", "Founder of Qin Dynasty", "China's first monarch to be called emperor".
‘If it’s really that person, what year is this? How long will it take for Hu Hai to take over? Where are Liu Bang and Xiang Yu? what do I do? ’
For a moment, Li Nian was in a state of mind, and his expressions changed one after another. He was noticed by the guards on the side, and silently noted it down, preparing to report it to the king later.
While Li Nian was thinking wildly, Guo Dian came back and said to Li Nian: "I have kept the strong man waiting for a long time!"
Li Nian gathered his thoughts and looked at Guo Dian, who was followed by two people, each carrying a tray, one tray with clothes and the other with food.
Obviously, Guo Dian left to prepare clothes and food for him.
At this time, several chamberlains came in carrying a large wooden bucket, and one of them said to Guo Dian: "Manager, the hot soup is ready!"
Guo Dian ignored the chamberlain, and He asked Li Nian: "Should a strong man wash first or eat first?" After saying this, he specifically pointed to the wooden barrel and the tray with food that had been placed indoors.
Li Nian would naturally not understand such a simple meaning. He pointed to the tray and signaled to eat first. No matter what, people are like iron rice and steel. If you don’t eat for one meal, you will be hungry, even if you may be hungry later. He will be beheaded and tortured, and he will not delay eating now.
Besides, he was indeed hungry. He was going to buy groceries and cook, but he wore them on the way back.
Seeing that Li Nian chose to eat first, Guo Dian ordered the tray with food to be placed on a table in the room, and said: "The food is simple, please forgive me, strong man!" People in Qin Dynasty only ate two meals a day. Meal, the first meal is called morning meal, also called "yong", which is about nine o'clock in the morning, so this time is also called meal time, and the second meal is called afternoon meal, also called "sūn" , equivalent to around 4 p.m.
After two meals, usually no more food will be eaten, but this is the palace of the Qin Dynasty. Even if the two meals have passed, some food will be prepared to prevent the nobles living in the palace. People are hungry.
Looking at the tray placed on the table, Li Nian thought for a while, sat down in front of the table, picked up chopsticks and started eating.
The food is relatively simple, a bowl of rice made of unknown materials, a plate of unknown vegetables, and a bowl of soup made of unknown meat.
To say "bowl", "chopsticks" and "rice" are just Li Nian's names for these things. In this era, they are definitely not the names.
The dishes are simple and the taste is very ordinary, far inferior to modern dishes. Although most modern dishes have technology and rigorous workmanship, the taste is indeed far ahead of this era.
While eating, Guo Dian waited quietly and observed silently.
Li Nian knew that this person was here to take care of him and also to monitor him, but he was not cautious. What he wanted to show now was to be different from this era.
After finishing the meal, Li Nian got up from the ground. Guo Dian waved his hand, and a waiter stepped forward and took away the tray.
Guo Dian pointed to the big wooden barrel and said to Li Nian: "Does the strong man need to wash himself now, or should he just rest?"
Li Nian is actually not sleepy at all. He traveled to the modern world It was still broad daylight, but it was hard for him to explain. After thinking for a while, Li Nian decided to take a shower.
This person probably didn't just want him to take a bath for his own good. He probably wanted to take advantage of giving him a bath to check his clothes and body.
Although the palace has been inspected just now, who can guarantee that there is nothing wrong?
‘The ancients were very thoughtful, don’t underestimate them! ’ Li Nian secretly warned himself.
Under the service of several palace maids, Li Nian took off his clothes and entered the wooden barrel to bathe. He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the barrel, feeling the hands rubbing back and forth on his body. But there is no joy at all in enjoying the treatment of the privileged class in the feudal era.
Li Nian knew very well that the person who allowed him to live in the palace now and let the chamberlains and maids serve him was because of his unknown origin and the modern items brought by time travel. If he could not let that person in the future If you are satisfied, the outcome can be imagined.
On the other side, just as Li Nian thought, Guo Dian was holding the ice silk short sleeves he had taken off and was stroking and inspecting them carefully.
‘The texture of this material is neither hemp nor silk. It feels soft and silky, with a hint of coolness, which is really strange. ’
After rubbing it for a while, Guo Dian put the short sleeves on a tray and picked up another one.
‘The texture of this piece is somewhat similar to that of hemp, but it is not as rough and hard as hemp. It’s amazing! ’
Putting down his denim pants, Guo Dian picked up Li Nian’s ice silk underwear.
‘The material of this thing should be the same as that of the short coat. It is indeed a good idea to use this thing to cover privacy. This person's clothes may seem simple, but in fact they make a lot of sense, and I can report them to the king! ’
There were no underwear during the Qin Dynasty, so when the First Emperor ruled the world, he also wore a crotchless one?
