The relationship between men and women in the Qin Dynasty was relatively open, and ethics and morality were not strict among princes and nobles or civilians. Otherwise, there would not be Qin Shihuang's mother, Zhao Ji, who had been fooled with Lu Buwei for several years in the harem, and later became promiscuous with Lao Ai and gave birth to two sons. From Zhao Ji's lewd life, it can be seen that both in the pre-Qin period and the current Great Qin Empire did not care much about the matter between men and women, nor did they have the great defense of men and women after the rise of Confucian theories of Confucius and Mencius in later generations. Therefore, the relationship between men and women was still very free at this time, and women did not need to abide by the three obediences and four virtues of later generations.

But no matter what, human society has been constantly improving, men's status has been constantly improving, and women have become dominant in production and life. Therefore, women's status in the Qin Dynasty was not high, and Xing'er had already betrothed to Niu Dashi. So according to etiquette, it is natural to respect her husband. Xing'er's scolding naturally made Chen Jiang feel embarrassed and unhappy.

"Auntie is fine, don't be angry, sister Xing'er, I... I won't say it anymore, talk quickly!" Niu Dashi quickly sat down with a slight eyebrows and urged Chen Xu.

"One day in heaven, the world is one year. Although the Weaver Girl has been in the world for three years and has given birth to a son and a daughter, it has only been three days since the heaven. On the fourth day, the Emperor of Heaven found that the Weaver Girl had not weaved the cloth on time. After asking, he found out that the Weaver Girl had actually descended to the earth and asked. When he learned that the Weaver Girl had married a mortal, he was furious and arranged for the heavenly soldiers to capture her back to the heavenly court. The Weaver Girl was captured, two

The child cried desperately and called his mother. The Cowherd had no choice but to carry two children behind him with a load, chasing them and chasing them. Finally, he chased them to the Milky Way, but was blocked by the turbulent river water. He could only watch the Weaver Girl walking farther and farther by the heavenly soldiers. Listening to the cry of the two children, the Weaver Girl was very sad. He knew that he would never see her husband and two children again when he went there, so he threw the weaver shuttle out to leave a souvenir for her husband..."

"Woooo, the Emperor of Heaven is so bad, how can we capture the Weaver Girl? The Weaver Girl is definitely weaving day and night again. Emperor of Heaven, the big bad guy, the big bad guy..." Xing'er was very sad when she heard this. She wiped her tears while cursing a god in the sky.

"What then?" Niu Dashi stared at his bull's eyes.

"Xu'er, what happened later?" Chen Jiang was fascinated by the fact that he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, brother, the Weaver Girl must be very good enough to come back, right? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly!" Xing'er also came to her senses and hugged Chen Xu's arm and shook it hard.

"Don't shake it, don't shake it!" Chen Xu was amused and cried and had to continue saying: "After the Weaver Girl was captured, the Cowherd and his son and daughter waited hard on the edge of the Milky Way every day. The two children also cried and called their mother every day, hoping that the Weaver Girl could come back. Later, this incident reached the ears of the Heavenly Emperor's wife. The Heavenly Emperor's wife was called the Queen Mother, a gentle and beautiful woman who lived in the Yaochi Fairy Palace in Kunlun Mountain. After she heard about the matter between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, she went to find the Emperor of Heaven, hoping that the Emperor of Heaven could let the Weaver Girl go down to earth and continue to live with the Cowherd. However, the Emperor of Heaven said that the Immortal and Mortals could not intermarry. This is a law of heaven, and no one could violate it. Although the Emperor of Heaven did not agree to the Queen Mother's request, he still agreed to allow the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet once a day on the seventh day of the seventh month. As for the obstruction of the Heavenly River, they must find a way to get through it themselves!"

"But... but Tianhe is so wide... how can they meet? The Emperor of Heaven is too bad. It seems that he agreed on the surface, but in fact he deliberately doesn't want the two to meet!" Xing'er couldn't help but activate the curse method again, but in Chen Xu's opinion, he hit the nail on the head and pointed directly at the heart of the Emperor of Heaven.

"Xing'er sit down and listen to her brother!" Although Chen Jiang has been a mother for more than ten years, she is still a young woman who is only 32 years old. Her gossipy nature also forces her to want to know the ending of the story.

Niu Dashi didn't dare to speak anymore this time and looked at Chen Xu with a gaze.

"The Weaver Girl must have no choice but to pass the Tianhe River. Cowherd and a mortal are even more impossible. However, although the Queen Mother could not help, she had thought of a solution for them. She ordered all the magpies in the mortal world to fly over the Milky Way on the seventh day of the seventh day of the seventh day of the seventh month to build a bridge, so that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will meet on the bridge. Therefore, every year on the seventh day of the seventh month, all the magpies will disappear!"

"I know, I understand, the magpies flew to the sky to build a bridge!" Xing'er finally burst into tears and laughed, jumped up and shouted happily.

Chen Jiangshi and Niu Dashi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this ending is not perfect, it is barely acceptable.

"Is it time to sing a song here?" Chen Xu looked up at the sky after he finished speaking, and couldn't help but mutter softly at the stars in the sky.

"Brother, what were you talking about just now?" Xing'er asked, shaking his arm.

"He is saying he wants to sing a song!" Niu Dashi jumped out from the side like a ghost.

"Okay, okay, my brother can not only tell stories, but also sing, sing quickly!" Xing'er clapped and cheered happily.

Chen Xu glanced at Niu Dashi quietly, then touched the bronze dagger hanging around his waist.

This shrimp has a small brain, is very good at ears, and has a fast mouth. This kind of person is most likely to have problems in the future. For the sake of the future, should we just stab the brother-in-law who cooked the whole frog to death in advance?

"Ahem, okay, my brother will sing a song about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl for Xing'er!"

Chen Xu cleared his throat, then stood up and put his hands behind his back and walked a few steps in the yard, organizing the excerpt of the fairy matching "Couple and Side Return Home" that was circulated in his mind.

The fairy match was originally a Huangmei opera, which tells the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but the story of the Seven Fairies descending to the earth to privately match Dong Yong. However, most Chinese people cannot figure out the difference between these two stories and think that the two are the same story, but it is not.

The story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can be traced back to the pre-Qin period and has corresponding records in the Book of Songs, but it is not widely circulated, so the mountain village man who doesn’t know anything big in this remote mountain village doesn’t know it.

The story of the Seven Fairies descending to earth did not appear until the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It tells the story of Dong Yong selling his body and burying his father and touching the Seven Fairies, so he came down to earth to marry Dong Yong, a man farming and a woman weaving, and then the Queen Mother made a rake and sent heavenly soldiers to capture the Seven Fairies back to heaven.
