Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 496 My sister has wanted to marry you for a long time

Tomorrow is the wedding day.

Under the arrangement of the ceremonial officials, the East Palace has already made complete preparations.

The ceremony officer in charge of this wedding is Fan Xiliang who worked with Zhao Kun last time.

During this period, Zhao Kun, as the groom's official, also put forward his own ideas, but the wedding ceremony in BC was very different from the wedding he imagined.

Every time he put forward his idea, Fan Xiliang would feel baffled, and naturally he would not agree to him.

Take the wedding ceremony as an example.

Zhao Kun originally thought that in ancient times, a sedan chair was used to greet the bride, but Fan Xiliang didn't know what a sedan chair was, and told Zhao Kun that an ink carriage should be used for marriage.

The so-called ink cart is a carriage without any decoration.

It was the same as the wedding dress that Zhao Kun would wear on the wedding day, it was basically black from beginning to end, only the belt and lace were decorated with red.

It doesn't look like a wedding at all.

Later, after Fan Xiliang explained, Zhao Kun understood.

It turns out that from the pre-Qin period, the state of Qin has always advocated black. Even for marriage, the dress is still mainly black. The reason why the ink car is chosen is also the same reason.

However, such a wedding, in Zhao Kun's view, is really a bit boring.

But as the wedding day approached, the dowry of Tongwuhou's family was also coming.

This became the only expectation in Zhao Kun's heart.

Zhao Kun likes money, and Wang Ben likes money even more, but it is not easy to get money from Wang Ben.

So Zhao Kun expects how much money Wang Ben will spend to marry his daughter.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kun checked the layout of the East Palace again, and then returned to the hall.

At this time, the Wang Li brothers were standing in the yard outside the hall, behind them were groups of carriages and boxes covered with red silk.

Zhao Kun's eyes lit up, and he really wanted to rush up and open those boxes.

But Fan Xiliang was talking with Wang Li at this time, and stopped his rude behavior in time.

Zhao Kun could only resist the impulse, and saluted Wang Li and Wang Yan: "You two brothers have worked hard."

"It's not hard." Wang Li said, and handed the gift list to Fan Xiliang, and then said: "I've been at home recently, and it's rare to come out to get some fresh air, but my father has explained that it's more important to get down to business first."

"As it should be."

Zhao Kun nodded reservedly.

Fan Xiliang glanced at the gift list, and then handed it over to Zhao Kun: "These are the dowry from the Tongwuhou Mansion, please have a look at it, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Wang Yan said in agreement, and then stretched out his hand to Fan Xiliang: "Give me the money after reading."

"Give money?"

Fan Xiliang was confused.

He had never heard that the dowry sender would ask the man for money.

Could it be that he forgot that there is such a rule?

But if there is such a rule, Fan Xiliang will really see it for a long time.

Fortunately, Wang Li stopped Wang Yan with his eyes, and then stretched out his hand to Zhao Kun: "It should be given by the prince."

"Then the prince will give it to you." Wang Yan also extended his hand to Zhao Kun.

But Zhao Kun was also a little confused, and looked at Wang Li inexplicably: "What do you mean, brother?"

"Give a red envelope."

Wang Li smiled and said, "Yu Fei told me when she came back, she said that you gave her a red envelope when she brought her wedding dress last time, so if we come all the way, there's no way you won't give it to us, right? "

Hearing this, Fan Xiliang instantly understood, then sighed and glanced at Zhao Kun.

In fact, Fan Xiliang disagreed with Donggong giving red envelopes.

But Zhao Kun insisted on giving it, saying that it was a happy event and he wanted to share it with everyone, so Fan Xiliang had no choice but to acquiesce.

Sure enough, when the news got out, the dowry givers also started asking for red envelopes, which really messed up the rules.

"So it's for red envelopes! I should, I thought I owed you money!"

Zhao Kun smiled coldly, anyway, he gave out red envelopes during the festivals.

Besides, in the previous life, when other people got married, they also gave out red envelopes.

Although the big customs in this life cannot be changed, the small customs can still be continued.

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Kui behind him.

Zhou Kui understood, and immediately took out two red envelopes and handed them to Zhao Kun. Zhao Kun personally handed them to the two future brothers-in-law, and said politely: "Although the money is not much, it's a joyous celebration. Thank you for your hard work, brothers!"

Naturally, Wang Li and Wang Yan didn't care about the money, but they were secretly happy when they heard Zhao Kun calling them their elder brothers.

So he took the red envelope contentedly, and said to Zhao Kun, "Since the dowry has been delivered and the red envelope has been received, let's take our leave. Tomorrow is the day of marriage, so you have to go early."

"Yes, go early."

Wang Yan put away the red envelope and said in a good mood: "Pick up Yamei early, she has wanted to marry you for a long time."

"Okay cousin, let's go!"

Hearing Wang Yan's words, Wang Li kicked him, then said goodbye and left.

When they were far away, Fan Xiliang wanted to warn Zhao Kun not to give out red envelopes indiscriminately.

But Zhao Kun didn't wait for Fan Xiliang to speak at all, and picked up the gift list directly, and muttered while looking at it; "I don't know how much dowry my father-in-law has prepared. With his financial resources, it shouldn't be less than the dowry we sent out, right?"

Thinking of this, he looked carefully.

Soon, he found that the top part of the gift list was similar to the bride price he sent.

Such as combs, scissors, drinking utensils and tea leaves
But at the end of the gift list, there was a sudden turn of events, and many valuable things began to appear.

For example, gold and silver lacquerware, silk and satin, the quantity is more than the bride price.

In the end, there were even houses and pavements in the prosperous area of ​​Xianyang City.

Zhao Kun couldn't help exclaiming when he saw it. He didn't expect that Tong Wuhou, who usually keeps searching, would be so bold in marrying his daughter.

Seeing Zhao Kun's happy face, Fan Xiliang noticed the abnormality, took the gift list and checked it carefully.

He just took a quick glance and didn't see the end, so he didn't know the precious gift behind.

"I didn't expect that the dowry prepared by Marquis Tongwu would be so rich, which makes the royal family look stingy. If it is an outsider, I am afraid that they will be impeached for disrespect, but Marquis Tongwu, I am afraid that His Majesty will not care about it."

"Indeed, this is tantamount to returning all the betrothal gifts we sent, and adding a house and shop!"

Zhao Kun said with a wry smile: "My father-in-law is so kind, the emperor probably has never seen it before, it is impossible to blame him!"

Hearing this, Fan Xiliang hurriedly said to Zhao Kun, "Prince, rules are rules, but in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, please don't publish this gift list."

"I understand that."

Zhao Kun nodded, then glanced at the carriage in the courtyard, and said to Zhou Kui, "Since the bride price has arrived, let's move it into the warehouse!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Kui responded, and called his attendants to carry the dowry.

At this moment, a guard came to report and told Zhao Kun that Jiang Chao had arrived.

"Ginger baby?"

Zhao Kun was a little surprised.

He remembered that Jiang Chao and Ying Yinman went to explore the cave, so it stands to reason that they should not return to Xianyang so soon.

However, Jiang Chao was able to come back before his wedding, which also surprised him very much.

After all, Jiang Chao is not a person who values ​​sex over friends.

"Why, didn't you play more with my Seventh Sister?"

Zhao Kun was in a good mood, and joked with a smile when he saw Jiang Chao.

However, Jiang Chao said solemnly: "My lord, I have something important to report to you!"

"Ok?"

Zhao Kun was stunned for a moment, then took a deep look at Jiang Chao, then waved his hand and said, "Go, go to my study and talk."

"it is good."

Jiang Chao responded, and followed Zhao Kun to the study.

"Tell me, there are no outsiders here!"

Zhao Kun closed the door of the study, turned around and said to Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao pondered and said: "Young master, the members of the Yinyang family have appeared, and they are now in Xianyang City!"

"People from the Yin and Yang family?"

Zhao Kun narrowed his eyes slightly: "What are they doing here?"

"No matter what you do, it's definitely not a good thing. My people have already caught up!"

"Well, well done."

Zhao Kun praised him, and then asked, "Is there anything else?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chao showed hesitation.

Zhao Kun smiled and said, "Actually, elder brother has already sent someone to notify me. Is it related to Miss Wang?"

"Yes! It's all my fault, I shouldn't have brought her to Xianyang!"

"It has nothing to do with you bringing her to Xianyang. She is weird. Now tell me, where did she go?"

Jiang Chao replied: "Wang Xue used my carriage to go out of the city at night. After several changes along the way, he should be going to meet people from the Yinyang family."

Hearing this, Zhao Kun said thoughtfully: "Since this is the case, then wait and see what happens, don't startle the snake, and see what they want to do!"

In fact, he is becoming more and more interested in the Yin-Yang family, looking forward to finding their lair and seeing if their true colors are as weird and mysterious as they are rumored to be.

Even though he has the scientific thinking of later generations, when he comes here, there are always some things in this world that cannot be analyzed by scientific thinking.

This made him very curious, especially Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin Yang family.

Just hearing the name is amazing.

In later generations, this name is the name of a god.

Now, there is such a person in the world, and according to rumors, this person has lived for hundreds of years.

Of course, he doesn't know whether the rumors are true or not.

In ancient times, it was difficult to live past the age of 50, let alone a hundred years?Even hundreds of years!
According to the living conditions of the ancient people, especially in the Qin Dynasty, people's living standards were very poor, they could not eat and run, and the environment was harsh.

Being able to live safely past the age of 50 is already very powerful.

Unless one really took the elixir, living hundreds of years must be fake.

Presumably, Donghuang Taiyi should be just a code name, a name, and when the previous one dies, the next one will continue to take over this title.

This kind of trick is very common in future generations, not to mention the present.

And just as he was thinking, a voice came from outside the door.

"His Royal Highness, General Han Xin is visiting."

"Han Xin?"

Zhao Kun was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Jiang Chao; "Is there a war at the border recently?"

"I haven't heard of it, but it should be to congratulate the young master!"

"Hey, why did I forget!"

Zhao Kun patted his forehead, and then walked straight out of the study.

When he came to the front yard, Han Xin was walking in from the palace gate, accompanied by Peng Yue and Wu Guang.

They were all wearing armor from the battlefield, and their faces were weather-beaten. It seemed that they had just arrived in Xianyang after a long journey.

"It's really time for you to come."

With a smile on Zhao Kun's face, they immediately stepped forward when they saw Han Xin.

"I've seen your son."

Han Xin saluted Zhao Kun.

Even though he was tired from traveling all night, he was still in a good mood and said with a smile: "We were still worried when we were on the road, fearing that we would not be able to catch up with the day when the son greeted the bride, but we didn't expect it to be just right now."

"Congratulations, son."

Peng Yue and Wu Guang also saluted Zhao Kun, and then congratulated him.

"You don't need to be too polite, it's good to be back soon."

Zhao Kun saw that they were all tired-looking and couldn't continue standing in the yard, so he took them to the main hall and sat down, then asked, "How is the situation in Yunzhong County?"

"Since the King's Court of the Huns was destroyed by the son, those small tribes have all surrendered to the Great Qin. Now they are herding horses for the Great Qin and guarding the border."

"Zhou Yin and Zhong Limei also let us talk."

Peng Yue said to Zhao Kun: "They can't leave the frontier for the time being, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat the young master's wedding wine, and when it's time for rotation, they will go to Xianyang and let the young master make up for it!"

"it is necessary."

Zhao Kun nodded with a smile, and then asked Peng Yue: "The Great Wall Legion on the border has been restructured now, how is the effect?"

"pretty good!"

Peng Yue replied: "With General Han in charge, and our new army's performance in the Xiongnu, those Great Wall regiments did not dare to disobey General Han's military orders. Although there were some minor disputes, there were no serious problems. The restructuring went smoothly!"

"So good."

Speaking of military system reform, Lin Fan thought of Li Xin again, and asked Han Xin, "Have you read General Li's military newspaper? If it is stationed in the Western Regions, how long will it take?"

Hearing this, Han Xin's eyes lit up: "The combined military power of the countries in the Western Regions is not as good as that of the Xiongnu, and most of them have already surrendered to us, Great Qin. The remaining few stubborn countries only need [-] troops to make them bow their heads and bow their heads. !"

"It is possible not to use troops, it is better not to use them, we don't need to waste our troops on them!"

Zhao Kun said, thought for a while, and then communicated with South Korea: "I plan to build a navy, you should know that once the navy is established, some land countries will need the army to sweep them!"

"Young master, you mean to open up overseas next year?" Wu Guang asked suddenly.

Zhao Kun glanced at him and said with a smile: "Now the overseas expedition team has returned. As expected, there are indeed a lot of resources overseas. Our Daqin needs to develop, and expanding overseas is inevitable!"

"That's great, we have something to do again!"

Peng Yue said excitedly.

Han Xin shook his head, and said seriously: "Even if we want to expand overseas, we have to wait until the next rotation. The rules that have just been established cannot be broken immediately!"

"This"

Hearing Han Xin's words, Peng Yue and Wu Guang looked at each other with disappointed expressions.

Zhao Kun glanced at them and said with a smile: "Ashin is right, rules are rules, don't rush for a while, and fighting is not a trivial matter, and you need sufficient preparation!"

As they spoke, they suddenly remembered something, and the three of them said: "You must be tired from the long journey, go back and rest first, and come to the East Palace to have a banquet together later in the evening!"

"Okay, let's go back then!"

The three of Han Xin knew that Zhao Kun was very busy, so they didn't bother.

Just as they were about to leave, someone came to report that Ma Liang had come.

"Tomorrow's wedding party, I can't be missing."

Ma Liang came directly wearing a formal dress, and there were many unidentified people behind him.

But when he saw Han Xin, he smiled again and said, "I thought the wedding ceremony was not lively, so I specially found friends who used to hang out with me. I didn't expect that General Han would come back!"

Zhao Kun looked at the people behind Ma Liang, and found that they were all acquaintances he knew in Pinyang.

These acquaintances are regarded as dudes in Pinyang. Zhao Kun used to drink and brag with them. Although he can't remember their names, when he goes out to eat, drink and have fun, he will definitely not be bored looking for these people.

Zhao Kun really didn't expect that Ma Liang actually called these cronies here.
