Seeing this set of pearl jewelry, Zhao Hanzhang was already estimating the value in his mind.
The imperial court has been slowly sealed today, and only a few people are still working hard on court affairs. As the secretary, Zhao Yunxin is naturally the last to take a bath, but she still changed out of her official robe today and accompanied her parents to add makeup.
Aunt Dong opened a set of gold jewelry and showed it to Zhao Hanzhang and handed it to Tinghe. Then she sat next to her and complained to her, "Sanniang is getting married, and your mother is also free from a heart attack. Unlike me, I have three children."
, now only your cousin is getting married, Bo Rong is far away in Qingzhou, and I can’t push him, but Yun Xin, who is not too young, actually refuses to talk about marriage. "
Zhao Kuan was crowned early, but he never took the title. When he was named the governor of Qingzhou, his father Zhao Dong went to the Imperial Academy in person with a gift. Zhao Cheng gave Zhao Kuan the title Bo Rong.
Because he is the eldest in the family, the word "Rong" comes from the word "Kan". Zhao Cheng hopes that he can be a broad-minded person and not be like his teacher...
Zhao Dong was very satisfied with this word, so he accepted it for Zhao Kuan.
Just like that, classmate Zhao Kuan had the word.
Zhao Hanzhang and Aunt Dong said: "Bo Rong really needs to get married. You can introduce a few more girls to him, and maybe one of them will fall in love. Yun Xin is still too young, so don't worry."
Zhao Yunxin looked at Zhao Hanzhang with a grateful face. After thinking about it, she quietly took off the bracelet from her hand and put it in the box she was holding and presented it to Zhao Hanzhang, "General... Third sister, this is what I give to you.
Add makeup.”
Zhao Hanzhang took it and smiled: "Thank you, sister Yunxin."
Aunt Dong said angrily: "She is already a year old, so she is still young?"
"You're only sixteen. Look at me, don't you think it's better to get married at this age? I've asked the imperial doctor that it's best for a woman to get married and have children after she's twenty."
"This...what kind of saying is this? Our parents used to let me get married early."
Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said: "That's why children are more likely to die young. "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" says that the age of four or seven is the best time for a woman to have strong muscles and bones, long hair and a strong body. She is still ten years away from the age of four or seven.
It’s been two years.”
Aunt Dong was stunned, and Zhao Yunxin was so moved that she almost shed tears. Just as she was about to talk, a light cough suddenly interrupted their conversation.
Everyone turned around and saw Wang Huifeng standing at the door.
The female relatives in the room immediately stood up. Even Mrs. Wang couldn't help but stand up and bowed slightly to Wang Huifeng, "Madam Wang is here. Please come in quickly."
Wang Huifeng smiled and said: "I will add makeup to the general."
Seeing that Wang Huifeng seemed to have something to say to Zhao Hanzhang, Mrs. Wang invited everyone to sit in a side room to drink tea and eat snacks. "My Sanniang can eat anything, but I don't know where she came up with so many strange recipes."
Yes, beef cattle were sent to the grassland some time ago and the family killed one. Sanniang took the meat to the seventh uncle and instructed his cook to cook some pieces of beef with various spices. She brought back a piece and I
It tastes quite good. I asked the kitchen to make some last night. Let's try it today."
"I know they sell it at Taotie House, but it's not cheap. Is it Sanniang's recipe?" Aunt Dong immediately asked Wang for the recipe.
Mrs. Wang smiled and changed the subject, "Sister-in-law, let's eat it first. If it tastes good, just ask someone to come and pick it up at home. This thing requires a lot of spices and it's not easy to fire it once. Why waste that money?"
Then he looked outside and said with concern: "It's already getting late, where is the Fu family's betrothal gift?"
The Fu family lived diagonally across the street, so of course they couldn't just open the door and send him over. They walked out of the gate to the street, walked around in a circle, and then circled back after passing half the city to celebrate with the people, so it took a lot of time.
At this time, Fu Tinghan was sitting astride a horse, accepting blessings from people along the way. It snowed last night, a little heavy, and the snow on the road was up to his ankles. Early in the morning, every household got up to shovel the snow and pile it up under the eaves.
, so the roads in Luoyang City today are spacious and clean.
The people stood in front of the snowdrift, waving hard in the direction of Fu Tinghan, and occasionally throwing flowers tied with red paper at him. There was no way, no way. There were few flowers in this season, and it was difficult for anyone to give him flowers.
Although there are few, there are still some. In a restaurant, a young man carried an armful of plum blossoms and shouted "Sir" down below. When Fu Tinghan looked up, he swung his clothes out and plum blossoms fell all over the sky.
After grabbing Fu Tinghan's head, he stretched out his hand with sharp eyes, grabbed a small branch of plum blossoms with flowers, and stared blankly at the young man in the restaurant.
The young man's plum blossoms seemed to turn on a switch. Then, every time Fu Tinghan walked past a shop, someone would drop a bag of plum blossoms from above.
Fu Tinghan recognized them. Most of them were students from Taixue and Luoyang Academy. Where did these unlucky children get so many plum blossoms?
Wouldn’t it kill all the plum trees in Luoyang?
But the plum blossoms all over the sky suddenly aroused the emotions of the people in the city. The cheers became louder and louder, one after another, almost resounding throughout the sky. Fu Tinghan muttered in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face involuntarily, and he reached out to catch the floating plum blossoms.
If there are plum blossoms, pick them up. If there are no blossom branches, grab a handful of plum blossoms from the air and stuff them into your sleeves.
After swimming around and arriving at Zhao's house, Fu Tinghan's body was filled with the scent of plum blossoms.
Fu Tinghan strode towards the gate. Zhao Zheng and Zhao Erlang, who were hurrying back, stopped him at the door and laughed and said: "Brother-in-law, you are here to deliver the betrothal gift today, not to see the third sister. Come with us."
Go have a drink."
Fu Tinghan was dragged away for a few steps and asked Zhao Zheng, "Can you drink?"
Zhao Erlang on the side said: "He can't do it, but I can. Brother-in-law, you must drink three jars of wine with me today, otherwise I won't show off your betrothal gift."
Shen Ruhui and Zhao Rong followed Fu Tinghan to deliver the betrothal gift. Zhao Hui and others immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Erlang and Zhao Zheng, "We are good at drinking. Let's do it."
Zhao Zheng pushed their hands away and lowered his voice: "Cousin Rong, we are brothers."
"No matter who you are today, we are on the bridegroom's side. We must fulfill our duties faithfully in our position. Come, come, drink. I'm good at it."
When Zhao Zheng heard this, he turned back and shouted, "Cousin Xiao, why are you so slow? Come quickly!"
"Here we come, here we come!" Zhao Xiao and Zhao Liang ran over while putting on their coats. They were both still Taixue students, but they had already begun to participate in politics, which was actually an internship.
The internship unit is the Luoyang County Government. It snowed last night. Early this morning they will follow Zhao Erlang and Zhao Zheng to check the situation in various places in the city to determine whether there is any disaster and the situation of the disaster.
I fell down due to slippery roads on the road, and the thatched roof of one house collapsed under the weight of snow. They dug the person out of the house and sent him to the hospital. After a delay, they found that the clothes were all dirty when they came back, so they hurriedly
Go change clothes.
Li Ban, who was temporarily brought in to serve as one of the best groomsmen, hesitated for a moment and stepped forward to help. There were fewer people on the woman's side. Zhao Shen, who was originally scheduled to come, ran away, so the other party was slightly outnumbered.
But Zhao Erlang alone can stop the three of them, so he must take Fu Tinghan to have a drink.
Fu Tinghan reluctantly agreed and was dragged to the yard to drink three bowls of wine before he was let go. While they were going to make Zhao Rong and others drink, he turned around and slipped into the backyard.
The female family members were crowding around the Wang family to see the betrothal gift in the courtyard. This is the so-called way of showing off the betrothal gift, so there were no guests in the backyard at this time, so he slipped in smoothly.
Tinghe, who was guarding the door, stared blankly at Fu Tinghan. Seeing the bright smile on his face, she hesitated for a moment and simply turned around to make tea in the side room, pretending she couldn't see him.
