For Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, it meant that it was snowing in Jilin. The news they received said that it was snowing heavily. When they received the news, the snow had not stopped yet. When they looked up at the sky, it was dark. They could only see white when the snow fell like cotton.
If it were any other place, such as Gyeonggi Province or Henan Province, this would definitely be a disaster area. However, in Jilin, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not worried at all.
Firstly, it was very cold in Jilin during winter. It was normal for it to snow. Even if it was heavy, it would not matter. It would be abnormal if it did not snow.
Secondly, there were not many people there. Most of them were soldiers, and they were well-prepared. There was no need to take care of them at all. If even the soldiers stationed there could not withstand the snow, it could only mean that the soldiers were not trained well enough.
Compared to the situation there, they needed to be more concerned about their mothers. The two pregnant mothers were about to give birth and were currently staying in the expected delivery room.
The same Lu Zhou, the same twins, almost the same time of pregnancy, and the same delivery date. Everything was coincidental. However, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not care about such things. If it was recorded in history, perhaps there would be a sentence, 'no coincidence, no story'. However, it did not seem to have much to do with history now.
Both of them were very nervous. Although people said that a woman was only in danger when she gave birth to her first child, the two of them were still on guard. After all, they were twins this time. Not only did they need their mother to be safe, but they also needed their younger brother or sister to be safe.
"Oh Heavens, oh Earth, oh Dragon God, I'm praying to you. You must protect my mother and mother-in-law. If you really need someone to die, it's best to die … Let the people on the other side of the Earth die."
Zhang Xiaobao nagged, and Wang Juan, who was watching at the side, was confused. She asked, "Xiao Bao, do you believe in gods too?"
"In the past, I didn't believe them. They always spouted nonsense in front of me, especially when they were drunk. Now, I choose to believe them for once. If they dare to play any tricks on me, I will teach them a lesson. I don't believe that they won't ask me for help in the future."
"You're so full of yourself. You're acting like a god. It's been raining for the past few days. I'm afraid that the humidity will be too high and harm our mother's body. It's also too dry to roast her in a charcoal brazier. Why don't you put your celestial brothers aside and think of a better idea with me?"
Wang Juan didn't believe that Zhang Xiaobao would have any faith in a religious figure. Not to mention Zhang Xiaobao, even she didn't believe in it. Many religious doctrines were good, especially in special times. There were also many ethnic customs.
For example, Mao Zedong didn't teach to eat pork. One reason was that pigs were easy to spread diseases at that time. Another reason was that they consumed too much food, so they didn't eat pork. But why did they eat cows and sheep? It was because cows and sheep ate grass.
Also, when you shook hands with people in India, you must never reach out your left hand, because they eat with their right hand and not their left hand. It was because under special circumstances, or under normal circumstances, Indians used their left hand to clean up after they defecated.
When she first came here, she saw other people using toilet paper. Although it looked more disgusting, she and Xiao Bao had never used it. At that time, they were still young. When they had the status, even if they didn't have good toilet paper, they still had to use cloth.
"Sigh, now the Tang people can go and enjoy life. At least they have toilet paper that they can use. The existence of religion is actually reasonable."
Wang Juan thought for a moment, then said conclusively.
Zhang Xiaobao was stunned. He didn't understand how religion and toilet paper were related. Fortunately, his IQ was not low, and he was also able to adapt to the jump in thinking. He said, "Not all people in Tang have the money to buy toilet paper. Some still use leaves and sticks. Personal hygiene is also not as good as you think, especially disinfection and sterilization of reproductive organs.
As for the meaning of the existence of religion, the biggest reason is that when the ruler himself is unable to form a better belief system, it is just a means to consolidate the ruling position. If no one uses the doctrines of religion out of selfishness, many religions in the world are good.
But that is absolutely impossible. Even the people of religion can split up a religion for their own interests. How can you expect them to save the world? Also, religion has another characteristic, which is that it is exclusive.
Since you love the world, why do you distinguish between them? There is reincarnation in the six realms, how can you stand in the secular world? Worship in the heart and hold the holy sword in the hand. These are the three f * cking religions. The prosperity of Buddhism was not caused by India. It was caused by China. Only China's cultural foundation can let people understand that 'a grain of sand, a world, a flower, a leaf, a Tathagata'.
Maybe it's because my status is not high enough. I can't be pious when they talk about religion. I have never seen anyone being pious before. If I were to be pious, I would be a Communist. You and I have high status in Great Tang. You dare to say that we are Communists together with me? Or should I say that we have reached communism?
Since I can remember until now, I only have one Bodhisattva in my heart. I remember there was a 60-year-old man who drove a VIP to our place. After that, I found out that it was not a VIP. It was a RV. I bought a few of them. There was a trailer, and there was a bigger trailer.
At that time, that old man said that he would give us 20,000 RMB to cook a few good meals for us. In the end, that 20-year-old woman smiled gently. Weiwei shook her head and pouted. She was so beautiful. If I were to describe it now, it would be the 12 Zodiacs. So, 20,000 RMB became 200,000 RMB.
Bodhisattva, definitely a Bodhisattva. Although some people say that Bodhisattva is a man, but you asked me now. I will tell you that the Bodhisattva in my heart is a woman. That smile can make flowers bloom and butterflies dance. "
"Ah? So, Bodhisattva is just adding zeros. What 12 Zodiacs? It's six Zodiacs, okay? The 12 Zodiacs are the holy warriors. Don't tell me you have watched too many cartoons from a hundred years ago that reminded you of that Shaka who said that he was the only one in the world? "
Wang Juan pursed her lips and smiled. She knew that Zhang Xiaobao was just saying that out of boredom. He was not trying to gain sympathy. If a woman sympathized with a man, it would make him feel inferior. A real man needed to control and conquer, even if he was a scavenger.
"Does the 12 Zodiacs have anything to do with Buddhism? In your words, I am at least the King of Hell, Hades. Let's go out and take a walk. You will be confused if you are too concerned. Leave everything to the medical staff. With our skills, we will only be adding to the chaos if we help deliver the baby. "
Zhang Xiaobao straightened his clothes and pushed the door open. When he opened the door, he narrowed his eyes. Then, he realized that it was not snowing here. There was no reflection from the snow.
"I hope it will snow in Lu Zhou as well. I want the children in Lu Zhou who have never seen snow before to be happy," Zhang Xiaobao said when he realized that it was not snowing.
Wang Juan, who followed him out, looked at the sky and nodded in agreement. "Yes, it has happened in history that the children can see snow, but it was always light snow, especially during the Little Ice Age. There was a record of 'Snow in Qinzhou'. If it was said that it snowed on the equator many years ago, I would believe it. But I definitely don't believe that you can see snow in Lu Zhou this year. It's raining heavily now."
"Oh, I know. The Little Ice Age is cold, so it snows here," Zhang Xiaobao said as he straightened his collar again. He looked like a scholar.
"The Little Ice Age doesn't refer to cold. It refers to a special environment. During the Little Ice Age, it was dry. It was very hot," Wang Juan explained to Zhang Xiaobao.
"That's right. When things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction. When it's cold to a certain extent, it will become hot. Many people who froze to death felt that they were very hot before they died, so they took off their clothes."
Zhang Xiaobao loosened his collar. He still wanted to be a scholar, but he did not loosen his collar properly. The opening of his collar was wider, making him look like an expert. He looked like a local ruffian.
"Then, how do you plan to solve the problem of the humidity in the delivery room?" Wang Juan gave him face and did not continue to talk about the Little Ice Age.
"Use quicklime. It works the fastest. If the wind blows, it will blow everywhere. It's best if the surrounding air rises as a whole. It's very difficult to heat up an area. I don't know if the people will be willing to cooperate."
Zhang Xiaobao said worriedly. He suggested a solution, but he rejected it.
Then, he suggested, "Let's find a family to eat. I feel like I'm too frivolous and ungrounded. I used to feel guilty when I encountered the same thing when I was doing business."
"You're guilty? What kind of business is that? "Wang Juan could not bear to see Zhang Xiaobao being so arrogant.
"How am I not doing a proper business? It's just a short recovery period and a high return. Do you think the world's wealth is numbered or not? "Zhang Xiaobao asked self-righteously.
"It's not numbered," Wang Juan replied.
"That's right. Since it's not numbered, is it wrong for me to earn more?"
"It's numbered."
"Since it's numbered, why can't I earn when others can? Who distributed all the resources? "
"Xiao Bao, my dear husband, count the moon at night. See if it's numbered or not." Wang Juan used her trump card.
Zhang Xiaobao straightened his collar and said, "Actually, it's not difficult to determine how much wealth there is in the world. The upper limit of the world's wealth depends on the level of technological development. If you can only obtain resources from Earth, then there's a limit to all the resources.
Even if the power provided by a perpetual motion machine, there's also an upper limit. There's always a limit to tidal, solar, and wind. If you get a solar panel outside the atmosphere, you'll definitely get more electricity than inside. If you don't wear a spacesuit when facing the sun, the ultraviolet rays will burn you to death. "
While the two were chatting, they came to a house. They did not know whose house it was, but they saw that the house's courtyard was not small. They couldn't go to those with small courtyards. It was not easy to live there.
The house they found was not bad. It was a house with two entrances. It was not very deep, but the horizontal area was large. The reason why it was not a house with three entrances was because they were afraid of overdoing it. Not many people dared to build a house with a deep courtyard like Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did.
Lu Zhou usually built two entrances vertically. The third entrance was for officials above the seventh grade, and the fourth entrance was for officials above the fifth grade. However, the fifth grade officials were not willing to build four entrances. They just opened a side door. This was because most of the fifth grade officials in the capital had three entrances. If there were many officials, the house would look small. Three entrances was already good enough. At the same time, it was also affected by the streets of the capital, so it expanded horizontally.
There were only two places in Lu Zhou that were not restricted. One was the Provincial Governor's Mansion. There were pavilions, terraces, and small bridges. The other was the Ocean and Clouds Tavern. The latter could be built however he wanted. The former was a little troublesome. No matter how he built it, he could not change the layout of an official's house. He did not care about the decorations in the house. He could not even build a small path outside.
The house that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came to was relatively wide. Obviously, they lived a good life.
When the two of them came to the front door and were about to knock and enter, Zhang Xiaobao could not understand a sound came from inside.
"What are you mumbling about?" Zhang Xiaobao's raised hand stopped in midair as he muttered.
Wang Juan listened carefully. Her eyes immediately reddened as she said, "The people inside are burning incense. They said that they are willing to exchange their lives for the smooth birth of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's children. A life for a life."
