Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 417 Getting Started with Marrying a Concubine
Although Zhao Zhongzhen is young and mature, he is still a child after all. The person he admires the most is Fan Ning, who opened up the territory and forcibly created Kunzhou and Jingzhou, as well as Danzhou and Liuqiu Mansion for the Song Dynasty.

Others must be mentioned, the key is Kunzhou, [-] households have been immigrated, roads, cities, mines have been built, and the barbarians have been beaten to surrender. How can this ambitious Zhao Zhongzhen not admire him?

"Uncle Fan, my father is waiting for you, please come with me!"

Zhao Zhongzhen recognized Fan Ning at a glance. He was very similar to the rumors outside. He was young and heroic, with extraordinary appearance. Fan Ning smiled and said, "You are Zhongzhen! You have grown so big."

Fan Ning met Zhao Zhongzhen a year before he went to Kunzhou, when he was still young and naughty, but five or six years later, he has become a stable little adult.

Fan Ning took out a sea pearl from his bosom and handed it to him with a smile, "Authentic Kunzhou sea pearl, I didn't give you a gift when I saw you last time, so I will make it up this time!"

Zhao Zhongzhen waved his hands in fright, "This is too expensive, I can't have it!"

"Take it!"

Fan Ning forced it to him, "Just tell your father that I gave it to you later, he won't tell you."

"Thank you, Uncle Fan!"

After all, Zhao Zhongzhen was only ten years old, ten-year-old children like shiny beads, and his heart blossomed with joy.

"Uncle Fan, come with me!"

There is Uncle Fan on the left and Uncle Fan on the right. Fan Ning is very happy. This is the future emperor of Shenzong!Consider yourself an uncle.

Fan Ning walked into the mansion with him, and went all the way to the back garden, where he saw Zhao Zong really growing vegetables!

Zhao Zhongzhen whispered to Fan Ning: "My father and I planted that radish together, and I will give Uncle Fan one later."

"Okay! Thank you in advance."

Zhao Zhongzhen walked quickly to his father, "Daddy, Uncle Fan is here."

Zhao Zongshi was very satisfied with his son's title. He nodded and walked over with a smile, "When did you come back?"

"I came back three days ago. I have something to do today. I took half a day off to see my brother."

In public places, Fan Ning would definitely address His Highness Zhao Zongshi respectfully, but now in the palace, Zhao Zongshi did not shy away from growing vegetables, obviously he did not regard himself as an outsider, so Fan Ning would not be polite to him.

"Sit down and talk!"

Zhao Zongshi washed his hands, pointed to two chairs, and they sat down.

Zhao Zongshi said: "I have read your investigation report. I really can't believe it. You actually hired out the tax office. The Shaanxi transshipment envoy is too daring."

Fan Ning shook his head, "This matter still needs in-depth investigation. Is it a means of giving to relatives for profit, or is it a common phenomenon? I really can't draw a conclusion. Relatively speaking, soldiers' military expenses are being exploited layer by layer. It is a major event, it is related to the stability of the Song Dynasty, so it cannot be underestimated!"

Zhao Zongshi smiled wryly and said: "This problem has existed in all dynasties, and it is really difficult to solve. You can't let the court directly distribute the military salary to every soldier!"

Fan Ning said indifferently: "Actually, there is no way, but it will offend people."

Zhao Zongshi was really interested, "What good way do you have, let me hear it?"

Seeing that Zhao Zhongzhen was also pricking up his ears, Fan Ning said with a smile: "We can use the money shop to solve this problem, choose a few big money shops, build a counter for each soldier in the money shop, and the imperial court will directly pay the military salary. The money is allocated to the money shop, and then the money shop puts the money into the counter of the soldiers, so that the soldiers go directly to the money shop to get the money with the token, there is no intermediate link, and it is directly from the court to the soldiers.”

Fan Ning said that bank accounts were used to pay wages. Although the Song Dynasty was not as convenient as bank accounts, money shops were well developed and could be operated in this way. It’s just that it’s a little more troublesome for soldiers to withdraw money, but the middle link can’t be exploited. I believe soldiers would rather be a little more troublesome. Also willing to do so. "

Zhao Zhongzhen's eyes lit up next to him, "Daddy, this is a good idea!"

But Zhao Zongshi is not as innocent as his son, and he also knows that once this method is implemented, it will cut off many people's money.

"Although this method is good, but the resistance is also great!"

"So we need to think long-term and wait for a suitable plan before implementing it."

Zhao Zongshi nodded and said with a smile: "You came to me on special leave today, not just to talk about this matter!"

Fan Ning said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I have a personal matter to ask my brother for help."

Ouyang Qian has been excited and uneasy these two days. The excitement is that she is finally going to marry, and she is marrying the man she likes. She is 24 years old. If she doesn't marry again, she really has no chance. It is false to say that she is not in a hurry, but there is no way to be anxious, but God finally took care of her and gave her a satisfactory marriage.

But she was also a little uneasy. That was her old father. After hearing from A Tao who came home, his father scolded Fan Ning from early on until night, scolded him for being ungrateful, and scolded him for taking advantage of others. Ouyang Qian felt a little sad. She wanted to explain to her father, but she didn't dare to go, lest her father interfere again and her marriage would be ruined again.

For the past two days, Fan Ning and her aunt Yu Shi accompanied her, and having an elder by her side made her feel a lot more at ease.

The wedding day came in a blink of an eye, and just after noon, Ouyang Qian began to put on makeup and dress. Many things, such as interviewing and talking about sex, needed her mother to do. Ouyang Qian's biological mother died young, and there was no aunt or aunt. She is like a stranger, and only her aunt Yu can help her with these private matters.

"You put this away first!"

Mrs. Yu handed her an exquisite rouge box, "This is your dowry, 500 taels of gold and [-] pearls, and the password is a hundred years of love. It was given to you by your husband."

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Ouyang Qian was moved, she took the box silently, and handed it to A Tao to keep it away.

Yu looked her up and down carefully again, and Ouyang Qian felt a little embarrassed, "Second Aunt, are you wearing the jewelry properly?"

Yu slapped her hands in praise and said: "Ah Ning really has eyesight, I have never seen such a handsome girl, and Pei'er really has a match, why can't the two troublemakers in my family not marry such a handsome girl like you! "

It was a bit awkward to hear this, Ouyang Qian whispered: "Second Aunt, everyone has their fate."

"That's right, fate is like this. Who would have thought that my first grandson's mother is actually a little Japanese lady. This is fate."

Yu comforted her again, "Don't care about the size, that's what outsiders say, our Fan family is the same, as long as you have a son, you will be a great contributor to the Fan family."

"Second Aunt, I don't care."

"Okay, I'll give you another interview."

To open the face is to use two threads to twist off the excess hair on the face, so that the face becomes very smooth and clean. This is also the key point to distinguish a young woman from a girl. You can know whether a woman is married or not by looking at her face.

Time passed quickly, and it was gradually getting to dusk, and it was time to go out. A group of drummers sent the bride to the wedding boat. You can take a carriage, a sedan chair, or a wedding boat to welcome the bride. The Jiangnan area is full of wedding boats. Today, Ouyang Qian is also on a happy boat. There are three happy boats, all of which are covered with red colors. The drummer sits in the front one, and Ouyang Qian sits in the middle one, which has a cabin. kind.

Fan Tiege thought very carefully, prepared a lot of dresses and satin, and packed ten boxes with 1000 taels of silver, which looked quite rich.

The groom, Fan Ning, was already waiting on the boat. He took Ouyang Qian's hand and gently embraced her into the cabin. This is a five hundred stone boat. next to.

The biggest advantage of taking a happy boat is that the bride and groom can sit together, and Fan Ning and Ouyang Qian sit in it, and through the gauze curtain, they can clearly see the situation on the shore.

Amidst the sound of festive drums, the three happy boats sailed towards the Feihong Bridge, and the shore was full of spectators. Although it did not look like a rich and wealthy marriage, it was definitely a small and medium-sized family that got married in a splendid manner.

Ouyang Qian was extremely happy in her heart, she leaned gently on her husband's body, and said with a happy face: "I never thought that I could get married in such a beautiful way!"

Fan Ning put his arms around her slender waist and said with a smile, "I never thought of that either! I was able to marry Sister Qian back home."

Ouyang Qian rolled her eyes at him, "I call you Husband, but you still call me Sister Qian!"

"Yes! Yes! It should be called a lady."

"Husband, will there be many guests later? I'm a little scared."

"Don't worry, there are not many guests. My second uncle, second aunt, Zhu Pei's third grandfather, and my former juniors are all from my own family. Oh! There is one more important guest, who is for your father's face. "

"The two future emperors and queens!"

Ouyang Qian was startled, "Here is the emperor?"

"It's not the current emperor, it's the successor, not even the prince now! The family of the King of Julu County."

"You mean Zhao Zongshi?"

"It's him, he is also my good friend, and he will be our wedding witness today."

Ouyang Qian let go of her heart, whether Zhao Zongshi can succeed, I don't know yet!
She asked again in a low voice, "What about Jupe?"

"She's in the back house. After the wedding, we have a glass of wine together. That's a family."

The Cuiyun Tower is decorated with radiant lights and brilliant lights, and the lake is dotted with lotus lanterns. The whole garden is like a fairyland, and a group of dancers are dancing to the melodious singing.

A green cottage was built in front of Cuiyun Tower, with a big table in the middle, with big red candles on it, and a large Chinese character "囍" in the middle.

The wedding guests sat on both sides of the Qinglu, besides Fan Tiege and his wife, Zhu Yuanfeng and his daughter Zhu Jie, the matchmaker Xie Jiuling and his daughter Xie Linger, and Fan Ning's four juniors: Lin Hong, Dong Kun, Tang Youwei and Duan Yu.

Of course, there are Zhao Zongshi, his wife Gao Taotao, and son Zhao Zhongzhen as the witnesses.

In addition, there were two unexpected guests, Zhao Zongshi's father-in-law Gao Zunfu, who happened to be at his son-in-law's house today, and when he heard the news that Fan Ning was marrying a concubine, he went home and brought his wife along.

There is also Cao Yi, who came to find Fan Ning today because he wanted to go to Nanyang with Fan Mingren, and happened to see that the garden was being arranged, and when he heard that Fan Ning was marrying a concubine, he simply brought his wife along.

Although there were not many people, it was lively. Everyone was drinking tea and chatting. At this moment, the master of ceremonies shouted loudly: "The groom and the bride are here!"
