Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 142 Getting Married ()

The wedding process does not need to be elaborated. At the banquet, Zhao Zhen toasted each table. From Hu Jiaoyu's pleased expression, Zhao Zhen deduced that Hu Jiaoyu did not know the relationship. Li Tianyou, Linghu Zhonghui, and Lu Zhuocheng all looked envious, and their voices were inevitably a little sour.

As expected, Duan Song came with Gao Hu, and just gave him blessings and said some auspicious words. Without saying anything else, Zhao Zhen was thinking that he was overthinking, and was about to go to the next table when Gao Hu said, Brother-in-law, Duan Shiro and I will come to visit again in a few days.

After hearing these words, Zhao Zhen felt relieved, nodded, and agreed.

After seeing off the guests and friends, Zhao Xiang and his wife directed everyone to clean up. Miao Erniang brought a bowl of sobering soup. Zhao Zhen sat in the hall to sober up, and then went to the room to rest.

Entering the bridal chamber was already a familiar journey for Zhao Zhen. This was the fourth time. That night, Zhao Zhen went to Ji Qingwan's room first, then Ji Minghan, Ji Minghua, and finally rested in Ji Xuan's room. Zhao Zhen worked hard all night and performed the courtesy of Zhou Gong. At dawn, Zhao Zhen just got up. Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum each have their own specialties. The taste cannot be described in detail. Just by looking at Zhao Zhen holding the wall and walking out of Ji Xuan's room, you can see the hard work involved.

Just because I drank wine yesterday, I was exhausted when I went to Ji Xuan's room. Facing Ji Xuan, whose skin was like snow and whose body was plump, I was unable to fight anymore. I took a [Snake Whip Pill] and then I cheered up. Complete the ritual of husband and wife.

At noon, Zhao Zhen took his wife and concubines to Zhao Jin's place to offer him tea. One, Zhao Zhen separated his family and lived in another family, and the other, Ji Qingwan and others were all noble ladies of the royal family. They only said a few words and drank tea. After drinking tea, her mother Li E took out four pendants, all of which were ground from fish stone. , its color is bright yellow, its shape is like a heart, crystal clear, like emerald and jade, brought it to the four people, and said: "These pieces of living jade were ground by my second wife and I. They can drive away evil spirits and bring blessings." Nalu, I hope you and I can support each other and be of the same mind as husband and wife." Zhao Zhen's family does not have a clan temple, so they do not need to worship the temple.

After having lunch together, it was all thanks to Ji Xuan's chatting and laughing that Zhao Zhen's parents, brother and sister-in-law became less reserved and more intimate.

After the meal, Zhao Zhen and the other two returned to the house. As soon as they entered the house and before they could sit down, Gao Hu came and presented them with four-color fruits, round fans, mats and other things as a gift to see the bride. Zhao Zhen and Gao Hu went to the hall and sat down. Ji Qingwan served tea in person, and they all came to sit down in the hall. Zhao Zhen and Ji Qingwan took the main seats, Gao Hu sat at the guest table, Ji Minghan, Ji Minghan, and Ji Xuan accompanied them.

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "I did say that."

Zhao Zhen shook his head. Gao Hu glanced at Ji Qingwan and said, "The elders are either busy dealing with state affairs, or they are supervising battles at the foggy border and don't show up easily. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law should also have told you to return home in three days." Is the courtesy waived?"

Gao Hu said: "Brother-in-law, we will be a family from now on. You saw it during the wedding reception. Even though we are a family, we are still far apart."

Seeing that Zhao Zhen had sorted out the relationship, Gao Hu continued: "Brother-in-law, can my sister tell me why she hasn't met her grandparents?"

After listening to Gao Hu's words, Zhao Zhen realized that he had married four wives and concubines. Grandpa Ji Qingwan was the younger brother of the previous leader of Gao Kingdom and could no longer be considered a direct bloodline. Gao Hu is closer to the current king by blood, and his father is the king's half-brother. As for Ji Minghan, Ji Minglian, and Ji Xuan, their bloodlines are further away.

Gao Hu said: "Due to the rules, I can't reveal it in advance. I will know the reason after my brother reaches the third level. I am here to ask for something besides seeing you."

Zhao Zhen suppressed the doubt in his heart and asked: "Brother, what's the matter? But it's okay. If brother can help, I will never refuse."

Gao Hu said: "You may be acquainted with Duan Shishiro who came yesterday. This man is a good friend of mine. I didn't know where I found out how many heroes my brother has who are good at fighting. He has a scroll of the fantasy world in his hand. I'm afraid." It was a bit dangerous, so I begged to invite my brothers to explore this fantasy world together. In addition to my brothers, Tian Qi and I were also invited. I don’t know who else was there, but fortunately he was not there either. It's too urgent. If you have nothing to do, brother, you can also participate. You and I can also take care of you. With me here, you will never let your brother suffer." Zhao Zhen said: "This is also feasible. Not only can I gain more knowledge, I can gain something again.”

Ji Minghan and Ji Minglian heard this and said, "Husband, we both want to go too."

Zhao Zhen looked at Gao Hu, who said: "Brother, it is up to the brother to decide how many people he brings. The two of them can only be counted as your followers and cannot participate in dividing the spoils."

Zhao Zhen said: "It doesn't matter, it's also good to gain some knowledge."

Gao Hu said: "Since brothers agree to participate, I will tell Duan Song and we will discuss it in detail in a few days." With that, he stood up and was about to leave.

Zhao Zhen tried to persuade him to stay, but seeing that Gao Hu was very determined to leave, he had no choice but to agree.

After seeing Gao Hu off, Zhao Zhen said, "I still don't know what professions the ladies have?"

Ji Qingwan said: "Husband, I am the female official of the slave family, Ming Han and Ming Huan are the chivalrous ladies, and Ji Xuan is the dancer."

The three of them each introduced their professions. Female officials are a variant of officials. They usually serve in the harem and have the ability to govern the world. They are like chivalrous women and knight-errants. Their martial arts are pretty good. Dancers are also not good at talking about it. They are similar to Jin Cuilian and the singing girl. They don't have much force. The attributes of the four of them are all good, so they must have eaten a lot of spiritual objects that increase their attributes.

Zhao Zhen also made a selective introduction, and then each talked about his or her own experience, and they finally got to know each other better. Ji Qingwan was cold and spoke the least. Ji Minghan and Ji Minglian kept chattering, while Ji Xuan played the drums.

Ji Qingwan said: "Husband, have we seen the dowry? All husbands can use these dowries, and they are also a help provided by the clan to husbands to develop the fantasy world. Now they are piled in the back room and the east and west wing rooms. These two dowries are piled in the back room and the east and west wing rooms. It needs to be tidied up in the future to prevent rats and insects from eating it.”

Zhao Zhen said: "Okay, let's compare it with the list and sort it out today, either put it into storage or spend it."

After hearing this, Ji Qingwan went back to her room and took out a list. The five of them looked at the list. At dusk, they just sorted out the dowry in the east wing. After dinner, Zhao Zhen went to Ji Qingwan's room at night. He rested there, the two hugged each other, chatted, and soon fell asleep.

The next day, I looked again at the dowry in the west wing and the back room. Zhao Zhen did some calculations and found that the dowry alone was worth 50,000 to 70,000 yuan.

Including gold, silver, bronze, precious jade, tables, chairs, beds, cabinets and screens, dishes, vases, porcelain, silks and satins, four-season clothes, gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, medicinal materials and spices, servants and maids, field seeds, everything you need.

Most of them are objects used in daily life, such as mother-of-pearl marble bed, red sandalwood drop-carved bed, carved fine wood imperial concubine couch, black lacquered mica rock bed, rosewood beauty couch, ebony bed with gold and precious elephants entwined branches, red sandalwood Wooden chairs, coral Kang tables, pear-carved chairs, aquamarine piano tables, red sandalwood inlaid jade cloud and dragon pattern floor screens, boxwood inlaid hanging screens with figures of the Eight Immortals...
