Chapter 277 Dead People Don\'t Speak
Who are you looking for to propose marriage?
Yang Xuan thought for a long time, and the only candidate was Liu Qing, but Liu Qing was waiting for the call from the court at the moment, so it was not suitable.No way, Yang Xuan went to inquire about the matchmaker.

The best matchmaker in Chang\'an is called Grandma Sun.She is said to be a woman, but in fact she is only in her thirties, just for the sake of prudence, so she came up with an old-fashioned title.

\"The young man wants to propose marriage?\"

Grandma Sun was busy with her business, she looked up from the roster and looked at Yang Xuan carefully.

Temperament is something that can\'t be explained clearly, and the way is unknown.

With just one glance, she was sure that Yang Xuan\'s background was not high.

\"Yes.\"

\"Young man, the business of slaves is not accepted.\"

\"This is a gold medal matchmaker, Xiao Xuanzi, throw money at her!\" Suzaku shouted.

Yang Xuan asked back, \"Dare to ask Grandma Sun what kind of marriage has she said?\"

Sun Po was happy, \"I told you about the clan marriage.\"

\"What about outside?\"

\"Outside? I told you about the marriage of the prime minister\'s family, young man, don\'t be too ambitious.\"

This person is just right!

Yang Xuan just wanted to speak...

At this time, a man came in outside, looking quite imposing, \"Grandma?\"

Grandma Sun stood up and said with a smile, \"Lang Jun is...\"

The man said: \"My little man\'s marriage has been decided, and Liuli has to invite you to communicate.\"

The Six Rites gradually evolved in the Tang Dynasty and had its own characteristics.

Marriage in this era is generally decided first by the elders of both parties, and then there are divination, choosing a date, becoming a beam, marrying a son-in-law, destroying makeup, and blocking a car.

Asking for divination is to ask both parties to ask each other\'s birth date, and ask someone to divination for good and bad luck.If the divination is auspicious for both parties, there will be no doubts about this marriage.

The meaning of this procedure is probably that if you want to get married, you have to ask the meaning of God first.God said it was a match made in heaven, so everyone is happy.God said that this kind of marriage is not a good thing, there will be problems if you get married, those who are not taboo will still get married, and those who are taboo... Sorry, the two families are destined to have nothing to do, let\'s forget it.

Naturally, you can\'t ask the other party\'s birthday horoscope by yourself, you have to ask someone to do it, and the matchmaker becomes the key to matchmaking between the two parties.

The matchmaker who can talk can make both parties overjoyed and feel that this marriage is really a match made in heaven.So good matchmakers are always in short supply.

Grandma Sun nodded, \"Dare to ask how the people on both sides are doing?\"

The man said flatly: \"My family is the Duke of the county.\"

This is the honorable family!

Granny Sun\'s eyes lit up.

The man glanced at Yang Xuan and lowered his voice, \"The woman\'s family is the Duke of the country.\"

\"Good marriage!\" Grandma Sun felt that this was a business that would add glory to her name.

She glanced at Yang Xuan with a look of embarrassment on her face.

Yang Xuan nodded and went out immediately.

When he was in Yuanzhou, because of family accidents, he was alienated by the villagers after he was ten years old, and those peers also excluded him.At the beginning, he also tried hard to please his friends, but all kinds of courtship were still useless.

It wasn\'t until he came back from hunting a wolf and saw the envious and awe-inspiring gazes of his friends that he realized that friendship can never be retained.

All friendship comes from your attraction.

After leaving here, Yang Xuan went to inquire again and found a matchmaker named Hua Niang.

Hua Niang looks ordinary, but she has a capable aura.

\"Dare to ask about the identity of your lord.\"

Straight to the point.

Yang Xuan said: \"Chenzhou Sima.\"

Hua Niang lowered her head and recorded, \"Sima!\"

Sima is the so-called pension position.

The old thief said indifferently: \"Do you want to do it?\"

Hua Niang can also be regarded as one of Chang\'an\'s golden matchmakers, but not as good as Grandma Sun.

Hua Niang glanced at Yang Xuan, \"Do it.\"

\"How is Lang Jun\'s house?\"

If a matchmaker wants to say good things, they have to be targeted.

\"No worries about food and clothing.\"

usually!
\"What\'s the population of Mr. Lang\'s family?\"

\"One bite.\"

Hua Niang blinked her eyelids, and looked up at Yang Xuan.

\"It\'s quite simple.\"

\"Yes!\"

\"Has the mansion in Langjun\'s house ever been ready?\"

\"It\'s being repaired.\"

\"Chang\'an?\"

\"Yes, Yongning Square.\"

This is probably the down-and-out honorable descendant.

Hua Niang made a judgment on Yang Xuan\'s identity.

\"Ask the divination first, ask the name, will the lord buy a wild goose?\"

To ask the name, you have to bring wild geese to the door.

Yang Xuan said: \"It\'s ready.\"

Hua Niang warned: \"It is better to wait for more than less. If one of them falls ill, the woman will think it is unlucky. You can go and buy another one.\"

Yang Xuan pointed to the carriage outside the door, \"Is it enough?\"

Hua Niang took a look and saw that Wang Lao Er was teasing the wild geese in the carriage.

Two cages of wild geese, let alone asking for names, are enough for barbecue.It\'s just that the young man who looked a little silly, why did he keep staring at the geese\'s legs, with a salivating look on his face?
Hua Niang nodded, \"So everything is ready, Mr. Lang and the woman have discussed the date of coming to the house?\"

\"Sooner rather than later.\"

\"in this way……\"

\"Today!\"

I\'ve never seen someone so impatient... Hua Niang held back her smile, \"So, I\'ll go later, where is the girl\'s house?\"

\"In Longevity Square.\"

\"Which one?\"

\"The Zhou family.\"

Hua Niang looked up, \"Which Zhou family?\"

\"Zhou Lane.\"

In Qu Lane in Chang\'an Square, all those named after their surnames are either famous people or dignitaries.

The Zhou family lives in Changshoufang.

Hua Niang shivered, \"Lang Jun...could you be teasing this slave?\"

Yang Xuan got up, \"I\'ll give the money first.\"

The old thief took out a piece of silver.

\"Flower girl?\"

Hua Niang was in a daze, looking at Yang Xuan fixedly, as if she wanted to pounce on him and kiss him.

Yang Xuan took a step back, \"Ahem, money!\"

Hua Niang stood up suddenly, and Fushen said: \"Yang Sima, don\'t worry, the slave will definitely handle it properly. The money... will not be collected.\"

Zhou\'s marriage!

To be able to take over this business, let alone giving money, she is willing to pay back!

Marriages within the aristocratic family are mostly settled in-house, what kind of matchmaker...these are all done by the family, and outsiders cannot get involved.

Biansheng Zhou made an opening and asked a country boy to poach a corner of his house. This boy didn\'t know anyone, so he could only come to find a matchmaker.

How could Yang Xuan pick up such money, so he turned around and left.

Hua Niang was a little puzzled, and asked the old thief, \"Slaves are not ranked among the top five matchmakers in Chang\'an, why did your lord find a slave?\"

The old thief said: \"She didn\'t pick up with grandma before, and Mr. Lang felt that the more famous the matchmaker, the more troublesome he was. That\'s why he came to look for you. You just have to do it well, and my Mr. Wang still has a thank you gift.\"

Yang Xuan went out and turned all the way.

\"Lang Jun, go slowly.\"

When passing by grandma\'s shop, she had just sent a customer out.A businessman would not easily offend anyone, thinking that he had neglected Yang Xuan earlier, Grandma Sun laughed and said, \"I have neglected Mr. Lang before. I wonder if Mr. Yang has found a matchmaker?\"

Yang Xuan nodded.

\"I don\'t know who it is.\" Grandma Sun asked subconsciously.

\"Flower girl.\"

\"Ha ha!\"

Hua Niang is also one of Grandma\'s competitors, upon hearing this Granny\'s smile faded a bit.

Not long after, she saw Hua Niang dressed in festive new clothes, happily bringing two women over. The women were still carrying burdens, all of which were presents.

Granny Sun\'s heart moved slightly, and she waved, \"Hey! Hua Niang!\"

When Hua Niang saw that it was her, she also came over with a smile.

\"Which company did you take over from?\" Grandma Sun asked.

Hua Niang smiled and said: \"Zhou\'s.\"

\"What?\" Grandma Sun\'s complexion changed, \"Which Zhou family are you talking about?\"

Hua Niang smiled and said, \"Which Zhou family do you think there is in Chang\'an?\"

This……

A business with five surnames belongs to the top business, but it\'s not their turn.Hua Niang actually accepted Zhou\'s business, which made Grandma Sun feel like a fire was burning in her heart.

But losing is not losing, she forced a smile and said: \"You are lucky.\"

\"Thank you very much.\"

This bitch...Grandma Sun sneered, \"Thank me for what?\"

Hua Niang smiled and said, \"Do you still remember that Sima Yang?\"

Grandma Sun was taken aback, \"Huh!\"

Hu Niang said: \"The female convenience is the Zhou family.\"

Grandma Sun\'s face turned pale for an instant, and then turned red.

……

It\'s the end of the year.

In the palace, gifts from all over the world are placed outside the palace.

Envoys from all over the world stood below, and after a while, someone shouted: \"Your Majesty is here!\"

Everyone bowed their bodies and lowered their eyes. After a while, they heard a somewhat hoarse voice saying:

\"good.\"

Followed by words of encouragement.

Liu Qing noticed the fatigue in the emperor\'s voice.

Han Shitou accompanied the emperor, and after some words, the emperor returned to the harem.

\"His Majesty.\"

Wang Shou came with the news.

\"Stone.\"

Wang Shouyin passed the news over with jealousy.

Han Shitou took it, nodded slightly to him, and followed the emperor.

\"Your Majesty, the gifts from King Wei and King Yue have been delivered.\"

\"Ok!\"

\"King Wei is eager to fight in the northern border.\"

\"How is Huang Chunhui with him?\"

\"Except for the last battle, Mr. Huang has never met King Wei.\"

\"Has that rebellious son ever recruited people?\"

Han Shitou laughed out loud, \"Your Majesty doesn\'t know that King Wei once recruited people in Northern Xinjiang, but King Wei is too rough and straightforward, and neither civil nor military men in Northern Xinjiang dare to approach him.\"

The corner of the emperor\'s mouth was slightly raised, but his eyes were cold.

\"The King of Yue is very friendly in southern Xinjiang.\"

Han Shitou kept silent.

The emperor walked out for a while, and suddenly said, \"Zhang Huan?\"

Han Shitou said: \"Yes. But it\'s just a normal response.\"

The emperor said indifferently: \"Zhang Huan has a good name and is vain.\"

\"Yes, to say that Zhang Xianggong and the King of Yue are mostly polite, and there is no private relationship.\"

\"other.\"

\"The king of Yue mostly reads in the mansion.\"

The emperor nodded.

\"Your Majesty, where are you going?\" Han Shitou asked.

\"Go to the pear garden.\"

After arriving in Liyuan, the emperor wanted to take a nap, and Han Shitou was able to rest.

He returned to his place and dug out the stone.

The house was dark, and because there was no charcoal fire, it was as cold as an ice cellar.

The stone was placed on the desk, and Han Shitou stood on the side with his hands tied, as if the stone was the emperor.

\"Your Majesty, I just now found out that Mr. Xiao Lang is going to get married. I am very happy.\"

He smiled complacently, \"The maidservant was also worried about this before, but after learning that Mr. Xiao Lang had rescued several noble girls in northern Xinjiang, he thought about it for a while. Several noble girls have their own characteristics, Chang Qian is frivolous, Hong Ya is mediocre, although Zhang Dongqing has a literary name, but women wanting such a reputation in public, most of them are competitive, but they are not good helpers...\"

Stone is silent.

\"The Great General of Youwuwei, Wei Zhong, is quite stable, so the servant girl took a fancy to his daughter Wei Ling\'er. Wei Ling\'er is delicate and naive, although she is not a good wife, but such a blank girl is the best to train. With the change of the status of the little man, She will naturally know about such methods... Her biological mother, Mrs. Chen, is a formidable one, she manages the family well, and this is a family with profound knowledge.\"

Han Shitou smiled and said: \"I didn\'t expect Mr. Xiao Lang to find one by himself. Your Majesty, that woman is the daughter of the Zhou family with four surnames. This little lady is stubborn. She was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by her family, so she ran away Guozijian. Mr. Xiao Lang entered the Guozijian to study, and for some reason, he fell in love with her.\"

\"The news from the Jingtai, the woman said that she was stunning, and Mr. Xiao Lang is indeed of His Majesty\'s blood, and his skills are extraordinary.\"

\"Your Majesty was quite dissatisfied with the family of five surnames when he was here, and the same is true for the five surnames of the family. I didn\'t expect that Mr. Xiaolang would marry the young lady of their family. When the servants saw the news, they almost laughed out loud. Your Majesty, if the Zhou family Knowing the identity of Mr. Xiao Lang, I don\'t know how stunned and angry I am, ho ho ho!\"

Han Shitou hilariously laughed, and took a long time to pant before he said, \"One more thing, the Southern Zhou Dynasty provoked the Tang Dynasty, and the court decided to send envoys to reprimand them. The servants used some means to allow Mr. Xiaolang to be an envoy.\"

He looked at the stone, and after a long time, he said quietly: \"Your Majesty once said that if you want to become a talent, you have to go through a lot of experience. Mr. Xiaolang shines brilliantly in the northern border, and this servant is very happy.\"

\"Since Xu ascended the throne in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, he has made great efforts to govern. Recently, he wants to implement some new policies. The presiding officer is Sun Shi, the chief minister, and Han Bi, the privy envoy. It is said that the whole country is shaken. At this time, the momentum of the Southern Zhou Dynasty is like a rainbow. Xiaolang If you go to show your power, if you are too tough, the Southern Zhou Revolutionary faction will have to fight hard for the sake of morale.\"

\"This matter is a little difficult, but Mr. Xiaolang must be difficult in this life! It\'s better to sharpen it early.\"

After chanting, Han Shitou put the stone away.

After leaving the room, his confidant Ma He was staring at him not far away, but was dozing off.

Han Shitou\'s heart was agitated, and he went to drink in a low voice: \"Wake up.\"

Ma He was sober, and pleaded guilty in panic.

\"Who did you see just now?\"

Ma He shook his head, \"I didn\'t see it.\"

Seeing his sluggish expression, Han Shitou knew that he had fallen asleep just now, which shows that this statement is not credible.

He said calmly: \"Go and ask who passed by here just now.\"

As his status continued to rise, more and more people in the palace stared at him.Even Wang Shou\'s allies in the palace are trying to find a way to put people around him, trying to pull him down.

So Han Shitou is very cautious.

He patted Ma He on the shoulder with a smile, \"It\'s better to ask.\"

\"Yes.\"

Ma He went.

Han Shitou smiled and went to Liyuan.

The emperor was still dozing off, but the imperial concubine came, reading a novel in every possible way.

\"What is it about Han Qi riding a coffin to fight? This man is obese, and he actually rides a coffin to fight. Just thinking about it makes people laugh.\"

The imperial concubine looked slowly, and suddenly her eyes turned red.

Jiao Li leaned forward, \"Is there something wrong with your mother?\"

The noble concubine shook her head, \"I don\'t like Fatty Han, but when I saw this, he knelt down in front of the pile of bones, calling for the soul to return, but I couldn\'t help crying.\"

The emperor woke up leisurely, \"What did Hongyan say?\"

The noble concubine wiped away her tears, \"I just read this novel. After many years, Han Qi returned to the place where Haoshuichuan was defeated. Facing the bones of those loyal and brave soldiers, he shouted back with his soul. Those loyal souls returned home, and the tears could not be held back.\"

The emperor couldn\'t help smiling.

Ma He came in and gave Han Shitou a wink.

Han Shitou went out.

\"Young supervisor, Cao Ze, who was sweeping His Majesty\'s bedroom earlier, stayed outside your room.\"

\"how long?\"

\"Twenty breaths.\"

Han Shitou went in, \"Your Majesty.\"

\"Ok?\"

The emperor took the novel and was flipping through it.

\"A piece of calligraphy and painting is missing in the dormitory, and the slaves have found out who did it.\"

\"Go and deal with it.\"

\"Yes.\"

Han Shitou went out, followed by more than ten servants.

\"There is one calligraphy and painting missing in the bedroom.\"

\"Yes.\"

He said that if there is less, even if there is no less, there must be less!

Arrived outside Cao Ze\'s residence.

\"Open the door.\"

The door opens.

Seeing Han Shitou, Cao Ze, who was slightly fat, turned pale instantly, and said, \"Young Supervisor Han...\"

Han Shitou took a step forward, \"Cao Ze stole calligraphy and paintings from the bedroom, how audacious!\"

\"Han Shitou...\" Cao was about to shout.

Han Shitou folded his hands on his lower abdomen and looked at him calmly.

A servant flew over and punched Cao Ze on the forehead.

Cao Ze\'s eyes were dull, and he wobbled back a few steps.

Bah!
The man fell, and a servant entered inside.

After a while, he shouted: \"Han Shaojian, I found that picture!\"

Han Shitou turned around, \"Wolf ambition!\"

Ma He followed beside him, \"Yes!\"

All the way back to Liyuan, Han Shitou reported the matter.

The emperor nodded casually.

at dinner time.

Ma He serves Han Shitou for dinner.

Han Shitou didn\'t eat much, leaving most of it.

\"Ma He, you eat the rest.\"

It\'s an expression of intimacy.

Ma He happily sat down, \"Thank you, Young Supervisor.\"

Han Shitou\'s food is naturally the first class in the palace, not inferior to those concubines.

After eating, Ma He pondered carefully, \"It\'s delicious, but today\'s cook is careless, so it\'s a bit bitter, huh!\"

Ma He clutched his stomach, \"Stomach hurts!\"

Han Shishi, who had just left, came in.

\"Young Prison, you...\"

Han Shitou patted him on the back lightly.

Ma He\'s lips twitched, and he said softly: \"Your servant... I know I was wrong.\"

\"We know, it\'s just... dead people don\'t speak!\"
