Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 118 Liangshan Elder

Let's say that Zhao Zhen rode to his father Zhao Jin's place and told his parents about the blind date. Zhao Jin said: "Erlang, I said at the beginning that after the separation of the family, you have to take care of everything by yourself. Today, Princess Shang, just as you said, I don't know what happened." Misfortunes are blessings, so be careful yourself. The three books and six rites are just a process. The family will ask someone to handle it in the past few days. You don't need to worry about it. You just have to marry four wives and concubines at once, and they are the daughters of the royal family. The betrothal gift may be shabby. A little more."

Zhao Zhen said: "I prepared the betrothal gift myself. According to what Gao Hu said, it doesn't need to be generous. It's just a can of wine, two geese, two pieces of cloth each, and a box of tea."

Li E listened and scolded: "That's a subordinate family. My family can't be considered as such now."

"At any rate, my family has been awakened. It has three facades and several butcher cases. Not to mention a village in Bailiu Village, there are restaurants in the city, and a big house in Nanshi. Needless to say, the bride price and cakes, there are two couples. Chicken, Xi Zhi Fei (pork weighs three to five kilograms and flies in two, one piece is connected to make two), fish, wine, fruit, four-color Tang, tea, and sesame seeds, which one can be left out."

Zhao Jin said yes from the side.

Zhao Zhen touched his nose and said, "Mom, who needs me to take care of?"

Li E said: "Dayan," "Etiquette: Scholars' Evening Ceremony" "There are six evening rituals, and the five rituals use wild geese, which are nacai, asking for names, naji, asking for dates, and personally welcoming." "You can find 20 pairs of wild geese."

Zhao Zhen said: "It's hard to hunt wild geese. They have to survive and there are so many of them. How can we come in time?"

After hearing this, Li E paused and said, "Then use a goose instead. The big goose is also called [Shu Yan]. "Yili·Shihunli" says: "The one who uses the goose as the zhi, choose the one that flows along the yin and yang." "Bai Hu Tong: Marriage Chapter" also says: "Those who use geese can take them from north to south at any time, without losing their integrity, and it is clear that they will not take away women at any time." Also take flying to form a row. In the Ming dynasty, the etiquette of marriage is in order for both elder and younger, and should not be exceeded. Moreover, dead pheasants are not used for wedding ceremony, so wild geese are used. "An ancient ritual, this thing is indispensable."

There are still seven hairpins and steps left: gilt and silver flower hairpin with mandarin duck and lotus pattern, gold phoenix hairpin inlaid with precious stones, empty flower tube hairpin with gold threads, silver gilt dragon-pierced peony pattern hairpin, red gold phoenix hairpin with pearls and cloud pattern, and silver with pearls. A butterfly hairpin, a phoenix holding a melon and a fruit, and a golden step.

Two pairs of bracelets: one pair of gold flowered bracelets and one pair of silver bracelets with wishful patterns.

Li E heard this and said: "Ten taels of gold, twenty taels of silver, sixty pieces of copper coins; two pairs each of hairpins, bracelets, and earrings; two pairs of fish; a cart of wine, and twenty pieces of silk and satin. Double that for the principal wife."

Five pairs of earrings: one pair of gold earrings with mojie pattern, two pairs of pumpkin and fruit pattern earrings, and two pairs of silver lantern pendant earrings.

"How many tails of the four-tailed carp are there?"

Zhao Zhen said: "In this case, the four-bearded carp is used for the fish, and the geese are also used for the geese. Go ahead and prepare."

Five gilt silver sachets.

Entering and exiting the fantasy world consumes one's luck.

At that moment, Zhao Zhen went to the study to write a list, summoned Zhao Yuanli, and said: "Yuanli, prepare according to the list. I will take him away on the fourth day of August. Then call back Xiaoniang Bai and Xiaoniang Jin."

Zhao Yuanli bowed and went to prepare.

When Zhao Yuanli took the order and looked at it, he knew it was for a wedding. He was not in a hurry to prepare and asked, "Master, are you planning to get married?"

Zhao Zhen also went to the study room and took out the jewelry from the box that he asked Yindanzi Li Er to make a few days ago. Except for the six pieces given to Angelica dahurica and Jin Cuilian, they were copper-plated gold-plated jade inlaid with beads, stones, begonia and crane pattern head flowers, and silver inlaid with rice. A beaded gourd-headed flower, a gold wire hairpin wrapped with branches, a silver gilt phoenix hairpin, a pair of gold beaded bracelets, and a pair of silver silk bracelets.

Zhao Yuanli said: "Today the owner of the village took away one herring and one carp. There are still three carp weighing one hundred catties and seven herrings. Yesterday, the manager Zhusha said, two silver carps weighing one hundred catties were caught."

After looking at it, Zhao Zhen went out and called Zhao Ji and said, "Zhao Ji, take my warrant, go to the jewelry shop, get the jewelry that has been made during this period, and let Li Er hurry up and make some exquisite jewelry in the past few days. Jewelry, deadline is the fourth day of August. If you need anything, let Yuan Li arrange it."

Zhao Zhen listened, nodded, and said: "Mother, I will go back to the fantasy world to prepare." Zhao Zhen immediately returned to the fantasy world.

Zhao Zhen nodded, thinking that he would talk to Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian later, and waved Zhao Yuanli to go get ready. Seeing that Zhao Yuanli was about to leave, Zhao Zhen asked again: "How many carp weighing a hundred pounds are there now?"

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "I raise a lot of big geese in that fantasy world, and there are also a lot of big live fish, gold and silver, jewelry, good wine, and good cloth. What do you think, mother?"

Zhao Zhen was surprised, why did he have to spend his luck to enter and exit the fantasy world? If you look closely, you will realize that entering and exiting the world too frequently requires imaginary world luck. Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly. It turns out that there is still such a restriction. No wonder some people use the fantasy world for storage. Every time they go in and out, their luck cannot support it.

Zhao Yuanli said: "The two houses at Zhuangshang and Baishi Manor are quite large. The farm and Zhangzhuang have not been sent yet."

Zhao Ji took the order and went down. After a while, Zhao Zhen came back and presented a pair of chrysanthemum and double phoenix gilt hairpins, a pair of gourd-shaped gold earrings, and two pairs of gold earrings for a boy riding a deer.

Zhao Zhen put them all in one place, only to be used for collection after a few days.

After packing up the jewelry, Zhao Zhen went to the main hall. Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian walked in hand in hand. When they saw Zhao Zhen, their faces were full of joy. Bai Zhi said, "My lord, why are you so fast this time? You came back in just one day?" Zhao Zhen After asking the two of them to sit down, the reason was explained. After hearing this, Bai Zhi said: "Master, I knew this day would come sooner or later." Jin Cuilian said with some worry: "Master, what kind of person is this lady?"

Zhao Zhen said: "You don't need to worry, the eldest lady will not come to this world in twenty years."

After the two of them heard this, they felt relieved.

In the next few days, Zhao Zhen only practiced martial arts in the village every day. At night, Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian took the initiative to serve Zhao Zhen without asking, which really made Zhao Zhen enjoy the blessings of everyone.

Zhao Zhen thought that the next few days would be spent so peacefully. Unexpectedly, on the second day of August, Zhao Zhen and Yang Lin each rode a war horse and practiced horse fighting in the drying field. Nearly 50 people gathered around. The cavalry team rushed back and forth to kill.

Ruan Xiaoqi came with a man. When Zhao Zhen looked at him, he saw that this man was wearing old clothes. He was tall and tall, with a big face, a double fist and a bony face, a three-pronged yellow beard, and a simple knife in his hand. When he saw Zhao Zhen, he threw away the knife. , threw himself to the ground and worshiped: "I am an official, but my name is Zhu Gui. I am from Yishui County, Yizhou, Jingdong East Road. Today I heard that Liangshan Po is prosperous, so I came here to invest. I hope the owner of the village will take him in."

Zhao Zhen hurriedly helped Zhu Gui up and said: "Brothers come to vote. We will naturally wait for you at our table and accept everything." After saying that, he took Zhu Gui and called Ruan Xiaoqi, Deng Fei and Yang Lin to join him. Returned to Zhuangzi.

After entering the front hall, he first served three glasses of wine to entertain guests, and then called several heroes who had come to practice martial arts in the east courtyard. They brushed each other and sat down. Zhao Zhen asked: "Brother Zhu Gui, how do you come to my place?" ?”

Zhu Guidao said: "I am a high-ranking official. I wish I had some wealth in my humble family. It would be good to run a restaurant business with my two brothers. Both of us are good at guns and sticks. I invited Li Yun, the blue-eyed tiger in the county, to be my master and learn from him." I have learned the art of simple swords all the way. Just because I got into a fight with someone and hurt someone, there were also young and old in the family. For fear of being implicated, I asked my brother Zhu Fu to come out and put aside the relationship, and my master Li Yun took care of me, so everything was fine. . But I couldn't stay in Yishui County any longer, so I had to leave. On the way, I heard that Liangshan in Shuibo was very prosperous and many good men came to join us, so I came all the way north to join us. When I saw it today, it turned out that the house was full of good men."

Zhao Zhen said: "It's all heroes in the world who love me, so this is why I have such a bad reputation."

Bai Sheng said: "The village owner's words are ridiculous. We are all down and out. Without the support of the village owner, how can we wear new clothes, eat meat, and drink wine."

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "This is exactly the reason why other officials have never looked down upon us and other mud-legged people."

Zhao Zhen said: "As the saying goes, a good man knows a hero. We are all loyal people, so we can get together and participate in this grand event."

That night, a banquet was arranged, and everyone drank and celebrated.

The next day, Zhao Zhen called Bai Sheng and Zhu Gui in the front hall. He was about to arrange for Bai Sheng to lead Zhu Gui around Liangshan Township, get to know the heroes and stewards, and select a hotel on the south bank of Liangshan Mountain. , specializing in inquiring about news, inviting guests, and acting as eyes and ears. This was indeed the mission set last night, because Ruan Xiaoqi said at the table: "Master, the south of Shui Bo Liang Mountain has been blessed by several heroes who have come to join us."

The two were about to stand up when Zhao Yuanli stepped forward and said, "Master, Brother Liu Tang is back."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "Brother Zhu Gui, it just so happens that we don't have to leave in a hurry. The two brothers who went out to do business will come back together. We have met first. It won't be too late for you two to go." After that, a few They went to the dock together.

When Zhao Zhen and others arrived, Zhao Ji had already led Zhuang Ding on the dock to start unloading the goods. Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Jiao Ting lined up in a row, shouting from time to time.

Zhao Zhen and others came closer. Only then did the four people see him. After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen introduced Zhu Gui, and everyone went to the dock to cut off the whiskers.

Bai Sheng and Zhu Gui took their leave, and Zhao Zhen said to Liu Tang and others: "Brothers, we are tired from traveling all the way, and we have rested. We have come to have a banquet and drink at night."

The four of them explained to Zhao Yuanli and went back to rest. Zhao Zhen saw a smile on his face when he saw Zhuang Ding transporting carts to the village.

This fantasy world really has a lot to offer. No matter what, hold it firmly in your hand. Most of my wealth and life are here. Without this place, I am afraid that I would be like Lu Sanlang, running around and working all day long.
