Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 635
On the first day of May, the day of the summer solstice, Wang Qingxiu arrived in Luoyang.

Wang Xiaolie paid for it himself, and bought a house not far from the Henan government office as his home.The arrival of Wang Qingxiu brought life to the family.

Take Wang Qingxiu home.Wang Xiaolie said: "Over the years, I have never advocated hiring servants at home, and of course I am no exception. This house was only cleaned up by Cui Qing after I bought it, and it is very simple. My sister is here, Clean it up."

Wang Qingxiu didn't speak.Stepping into the house, he turned around from front to back and from left to right.Finally, he stood under a pomegranate tree in the garden, and said to Wang Xiaolie who followed him, "My brother has been very strict with himself since he became an official. I am your older sister, so I don't want to embarrass you, and I always strictly abide by your rules. This The first house, I saw it just now, I’m afraid it has more than three acres. The building is excellent, and there are pavilions and pavilions, it’s not an ordinary house. If I live here, will it cause gossip?”

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "Sister, I am the person with the highest official position and the highest salary along the West Jingxi Road. With my salary alone, I can afford this house. I'm afraid people will say anything?"

Wang Qingxiu sighed: "In the past few years, I have been really afraid of you. I am afraid that you will kill you in the front, and I will do something later to ruin your reputation. Since you said it's okay, I will stay here. In this way If I am the only one living in the big house, how can I manage it?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "So the houses that don't live in are sealed up, or turned into gardens. By the way, my soldiers can help take care of them."

Wang Qingxiu shook her head: "You are not allowed to hire people, who will live in a big house in the future? I don't know what you are thinking."

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's just that you are not allowed to hire people like before. If you really have a big house and a rich family, there is still a way."

What Wang Xiaolie forbids is that servants no longer live with their masters to share property, but do not live with their masters.Of course, the relationship between the master and the servant is simply to spend money to buy labor, and there is no other power.This is the trend of the Song Dynasty. Although the rich have many inconveniences, they did not strongly oppose it.

It's just that Wang Xiaolie is not an innocent person out of security considerations, so Wang Qingxiu is not allowed to hire him.Over the past few years in Xiangyang, Wang Qingxiu gradually got used to it.Now that I have just arrived in Luoyang, there is no suitable family for a while, so I can only work hard on my own.

At noon, Wang Xiaolie said: "My sister is new here, I will prepare a banquet to welcome you. We are officials, we can buy ready-made meals from the government office, and Cui Qing will deliver them later. Sister, don't dislike it, I will give you a meal later." Let's have a couple of drinks and gossip."

Wang Qingxiu said: "This is the best. I haven't seen you for many days, and I have a lot to say to you."

Wang Xiaolie has a dedicated chef.But he has been living in the government office, and no one cooks at home.Wang Qingxiu's status is different now, occasionally cooking a small dish is to adjust her life, how can she cook every day?
Not long after, Cui Qing brought two soldiers and brought the food cooked by the chef of the government office.Set it up on the table, and retreated with the soldiers.

After pouring wine for Wang Qingxiu, Wang Xiaolie said, "A few days ago, I heard from Dad Wang that my sister met a family in Xiangyang. Is this true? Why didn't you tell me? It's not about meddling in my sister's marriage. You can check how this family is."

Wang Qingxiu said: "Da Lang, we are not young anymore, it's time to start a family. These years you have led soldiers to fight, fearing that you will hurt them, so you have never dared to find them. This year you have occupied Luoyang, and you have settled down. You should think about your own business.”

Wang Xiaolie said: "What my sister said is true. What kind of family is it for my sister?"

Wang Qingxiu said: "It's also an official family. This man's name is Zhang Qi, and his father used to be an official in the court. After Jingkang, he went to several places and finally settled in Xiangyang. Because his mother was ill, he didn't go out to find work. I opened a calligraphy and painting shop in Xiangyang City. I met him by chance because I bought calligraphy and painting. I heard that he had also engaged in marriage before, but the bride passed away before we got married. Seeing that he was good, he came and went slowly. Get acquainted. Thinking that he is not too young, I discussed getting married with him."

Wang Xiaolie wrote down the name.He said: "In the past few years, there was a lot of chaos, and the news that many people said was not very true. I know the name, and I will ask someone to look it up."

Wang Qingxiu said: "Chen Shenyi is familiar with his father, I asked. Xiangyang city is not without their old friends."

"I see." Wang Xiaolie nodded. "When is my sister going to do the marriage?"

Wang Qingxiu said: "I can't wait. Just this autumn."

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while.Said: "In a few days, I will go to Hedong, and I think I will come back before July. If I can't wait, I can choose a good day in July or August, and have a lively wedding. My sister is married, and we Most of my worries are gone."

Wang Qingxiu said with a smile: "That's right. I'm not married, and it's not good for you to marry. Speaking of which, you are also 23 years old. Although many people are getting married after Jingkang, 23 years old is too old. I asked Do you have anyone you like?"

Wang Xiaolie smiled and said, "I've been fighting all these years, how can I have free time?"

Wang Qingxiu said: "This kind of thing is not a time when you have to be free. If you don't have a favorite family, that's the best. When I was in Xiangyang, I took a fancy to the daughter of a family. The little lady is 19 years old. , also drifted to Xiangyang with his father. She is so charming, I have never seen her as good-looking. She is also ingenious and has a good temper. No one praises her. If she is his wife, it is not a loss about you!"

Wang Xiaohun listened, but did not speak for a while.

When he came to this world, Wang Xiaolie always felt that a pair of eyes were watching him.It seems to be in another world, it seems to be my previous life, it seems to be a love affair in an unknown life, and it seems to be my own illusion.This feeling is very strange, inexplicable, unclear.

In this world, Wang Xiaolie has seen all kinds of women, some are beautiful, some are ordinary, and some are ugly.But once you've seen it, you've seen it, and there is no one who makes Wang Xiaolie want to spend a lifetime with her.

Maybe, my love is in another world?In this world, I always want to find a woman, marry her, have children with her, and form a happy family with her.As long as she is not particularly ugly or difficult to get along with, Wang Xiaolie will not refuse.

Listening to his sister telling about the family he found, Wang Xiaolie smiled, as if he was listening to someone else's story.

After Wang Qingxiu finished speaking, she said to Wang Xiaolie: "What do you think of this little lady?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "My sister said yes, then it must be very good."

Wang Qingxiu was stunned for a moment.Said: "The person who spends her life with her is you, not me. Okay, it's up to you!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "I've been fighting wars these years, or I've been busy with political affairs. How can I have any free time? When I get older, I always want to find a woman to marry. My sister must have put a lot of thought into finding it for me, isn't it better than myself? well played?"

Wang Qingxiu thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded: "That's true. I have seen many women in Xiangyang City these years, and there is no one who is stronger than this one. However, life-long events must not be sloppy. In a few days, Find a way to let you meet."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Has this woman arrived in Luoyang?"

Wang Qingxiu said: "It's here. The little lady didn't say yes or no, she didn't say anything. Her father was willing in every way, so he hurried over."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Okay, my sister has made arrangements. Once the time is set, just let me know."

There is not much difference between people in the Song Dynasty and later generations on blind dates. There are many ways.In some cases, an appointment is made, and the men and women meet directly in a teahouse or in a convenient place.Success or failure, face to face a word.Some just tell one party where to ask the other party to meet at that time.If you agree, you will make a marriage, if you don't agree, you will pretend that you haven't met.

If it is the latter method, the matchmaker will have many tricks and endless stories.

With Wang Xiaolie's status, of course it is the latter method.Invited the girl to the teahouse, Wang Xiaolie took a look.If you like it, the marriage will be done.
