Chapter 311 The Crazy King Wu

The corner of Man Yue's mouth twitched, if she had Jia Xu's IQ, she would have played Hou Jing to death long ago, and allowed him to jump around there!Speaking of it, Hou Jing couldn't escape the fact that I suffered several times.

Although Rong Huai was not instructed by Hou Jing that time, Rong Huai was also Hou Jing's person; and Ma Rong this time, seeing Ma Rong's request, he knew that Hou Jing did a good job.It's true that the girl wants to earn her fame, but that's a no-brainer, otherwise who would risk their lives to walk a tightrope?Is the punishment that easy to bear?Even poking a hole with a needle hurts so much, let alone that kind of punishment!

Therefore, there is enmity between them.And Hou Jing, as an eunuch, believes in cutting grass and roots.It can be seen from the fact that he keeps putting eye drops on himself, and Eunuch Hou, who seems to be kind to him, also has pimples in his heart. Even if he can forgive generously, as Leng Yun's future wife, Eunuch Hou may not be so easy Smile to obliterate all grievances!
The days that followed became extremely busy.Regarding the wedding process, the laws of the Ming Dynasty gave clear instructions.First of all, the legal age for marriage is 16 for men and 14 for women.

After meeting this condition, you have to adopt it first.

The so-called adoption is almost the same as proposing marriage.Different from the interpretation in later TV dramas, the adoption ceremony of the ancients is extremely complicated.In order to show their sincerity, the Leng family went through all the procedures again to show that the name is justified.

Leng Yun had to get up early in the morning, put on dark clothes, go to the ancestral hall to pay homage to his ancestors, and tell them: I have grown up, I have no husband and wife, and I have already proposed to marry the daughter of so-and-so.Today, I am so grateful and so sad.Then before dawn, he had to take the hostess matchmaker and go to the Yang family to propose marriage with the wild goose in his arms.

When they arrived at the woman's house, there were extremely strict regulations on which door Leng Yun would go through and which side the matchmaker would go through.The fall of the Song Dynasty in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was a disaster for the Chinese people at that time. After the Ming Dynasty defeated the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, they strongly advocated restoration, and their nationalism was serious.

It is as small as the matter of common people getting married, they must abide by the ancient law, and there are extremely strict requirements on which step to take and how many steps to take.Even if the common people are like this, don't mention the prince's house.

After exchanging horoscopes, the second step is to send money, that is, to hire.

This step is also cumbersome, and there is not much description in it, only that the 108 betrothal gifts have become a hot topic in Ningbo City.The amount of dowry is not limited by etiquette, but only by financial resources.

The dowry price of 108 is enough to shock the world, how big is it?

But thinking about it again, marrying Yang Manyue is equivalent to owning her many properties, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of dowry. Some sophisticated housewives admire the old lady Leng's means and thoughtfulness.

The dowry is given, as long as you accept it, you will not regret it.

"All Xu married daughters have reported the marriage certificate and have a private agreement. Those who regret it will have a staff of sixty; although there is no marriage certificate, they have been hired for money." Although this is the law of the Tang Dynasty, it is still used in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. That's why Ye Qi dared to torture Yang Manyue like this before.

The villagers saw that the dowry entered Yang's family, it was Chen who had agreed to the marriage, so they could not go back on their word.People's arrogance also has something to rely on.

On the day of the betrothal ceremony, Man Yue met the old lady Leng.

This is a kind-looking woman who is not very old, only in her early forties.The hair is combed meticulously, and the clothes are not gorgeous, but it can be seen from the dark pattern interlaced fabric that this is a person who likes low-key luxury.

Cloth in ancient times can be used as money, and this kind of cloth with dark patterns takes a lot of effort from the weaver, so it is expensive.At first glance, one would not think that the old lady of the Leng family has any extravagance, but if one observes carefully, one finds that this person has a very high taste.

If I think about it on weekdays, I also pay attention to maintenance, and it looks like 35 or 6.

Seeing the full moon, he smiled and said: "After going through many hardships, I finally turned into a fruit, the old lady finally saw you today..."

She looked up and down for a while, with satisfaction in her eyes, "Although she is young, she is dignified, and her temperament is like an orchid in an empty valley. My mother-in-law, you have taught my daughter well!"

Chen smiled reservedly, "My mother-in-law praised her absurdly. I am a peasant woman, so how can I have any knowledge? Thanks to my husband who taught her to read and write, she is what she is today. When I come to your house in the future, I will have to trouble you."

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "My mother-in-law doesn't need to underestimate herself. I've heard people say that although my mother-in-law was born in a farming family, she is also a diligent and motivated person. In order to take care of the forest house for my daughter-in-law, she went to school at the age of 27. It’s a great skill to be able to write and count in just two years!”

A few people were talking, Man Yue looked at her future mother-in-law, and she was slightly relieved. She seemed to be a talkative person, but I don't know if this is the real face?If it's really the same, then my life will be easier in the future.

Although it is possible to live outside with the uncle, if the uncle returns to Beijing in the future, he still has to live together.Harmony in the family is more important than anything else. If there is no unity within the family, what dreams are there?
The chefs in the kitchen are doing their best to cook.Originally, according to the rules, today's appointment is to invite the matchmaker and guest minister (master of ceremonies) to have a meal.But today even the future mother-in-law of Xiaodong's family is here, so it has to be more grand.

The dishes were being cooked vigorously, but they heard the noise outside, and after a while, a little apprentice came in, tremblingly said: "Master, the King of Wu is here again, he must personally call the name and ask the master to cook for him."

Chef Wang frowned, a little upset.

"Is this person here on purpose to make trouble? Hmph! His wife is so dishonest that she made the little boss so miserable, and still wants the little boss to cook for him? Besides, today is the big day for the little boss, and the future parents-in-law Here, why is he so ignorant?"

Ever since Man Yue punched the county lord and kicked the concubine, the staff in the store basically had no fear of Wu Wang's family.They firmly believed in their hearts that the boss who was a commoner could pull down the concubine, and the boss who became a county lord, even the king of Wu, could destroy it as soon as he said it.

People these days feel insecure, especially the guys in the shop are all born at the bottom of the class, if they can be sheltered by the strong, they will be very loyal.Yang Manyue's short-term protection behavior made them feel safe, so these people have a kind of blind trust and admiration for Yang Manyue.

Put the fish-flavored shredded pork in the pot on a plate, Chef Wang said: "Send it to the flower hall at the back first, the future wife is from Shu, she likes spicy food, this is taught by the master, so that the future wife can meet the virtuous master .”

Chef Wang is a caring person. More than half of the dishes he cooks today are Sichuan and Hunan dishes. These famous dishes from later generations have not yet appeared in the Ming Dynasty. The arrival of Yang Manyue made them famous in the Ming Dynasty in advance.

Guilinju's Sichuan and Hunan cuisines have also become signatures. Many people from Sichuan and Jingxiang will come here to taste innovative dishes.Even the locals in Ningbo will be attracted by the spiciness, but ask for slightly spicy when ordering.

On the stove, the Buddha jumping over the wall in the wine jar on the far left was made by Yang Manyue, which is also a tribute to her future mother-in-law.And many Buddha Jumping Walls were stewed on this row of stoves. The "No. [-] Delicacy in the World" written by the emperor himself has been displayed and hung in the hall of Guilinju. Buddha Jumping Walls has suddenly become a classic dish, and many outsiders rush Come, in order to get a first-class delicacy that even the emperor praises.

Chef Wang went over and asked people to be careful with the cooking, while saying: "Have you reported this to the little boss?"

"Madam Zhen said don't worry about it, I'll serve him another bowl of Buddha jumping over the wall later."

Chef Wang rolled his eyes slightly, and smiled, "Madam Zhen is amazing, this is the best delicacy in the world that His Majesty has praised, and it is clearly for King Wu to retreat in spite of difficulties."

"Master, do you think this King Wu is here to take revenge? I don't look like it either. Is he holding back some bad water?"

"How do I know this? But I heard people say that Wu Wang's place is more normal. When he adopted it a few days ago, he also said that the owner is his daughter. She is really sick."

The little apprentice stared wide-eyed, "This, how is this possible?"

"Crack", got hit on the forehead, Chef Wang stared wide-eyed and said: "Pig brains, it's impossible! Hmph, I think he's pretending to be crazy, trying to ruin the reputation of the owner!"

In the kitchen here, the master and apprentice are discussing the sinister intentions of King Wu, while Yang Zhen in the private room is also dealing with the crazy King Wu.

"Why? Why doesn't she see me?!"

King Wu's face was a little distorted, "If I hadn't protected her, would she have grown up safely? I didn't find out what that bitch Lu did until later. I didn't harm their father and daughter. Now that she is going to get married, I regard her as For my daughter, why didn't you see me?! She has no father, shouldn't she accept me as her father to make decisions for her?!"

Yang Zhen frowned. Before that, King Wu kept coming to the store, but Man Yue refused to see him.When he adopted it later, the man suddenly went crazy.Tell people everywhere that Man Yue is actually his daughter.Later, he said that although he was not born, after discovering Lu's conspiracy, he has been protecting their father and daughter, treating Man Yue as a righteous daughter...

Full of nonsense, at first she thought he was pretending to be crazy.But slowly, he realized that there seemed to be something wrong with King Wu.

As soon as Yuan Shi and Man Yue were mentioned, he would suddenly go into convulsions. The father-in-law beside him also hinted to himself that their prince had been a hostage in the Kingdom of Jin since he was a child.As a result, Yuan's death reminded him of the little palace lady who was beaten to death, and it became more serious later, and she became ill at every turn, and it became more and more serious in the past two years.

Looking in front of him, Yang Zhen felt that if this person was pretending to be crazy, he had a big conspiracy.But King Wu seemed to have no reason to do this, even if he wanted revenge, it shouldn't be like this.

Thinking about it in my heart, I said: "My lord, it's not the daughter of the people who stops you, it's my sister who doesn't want to see you. Why do you force it? If she wants to see you, she will. If she doesn't want to, even my seventh aunt will Can't force her, after all..."

Wu Wanghong narrowed his eyes and said with a ferocious face: "I just wanted to make it clear to her face-to-face that what happened to her mother was done by Mrs. Lu, and I was completely unaware of it at the time. In order to take revenge on Mrs. Lu, apart from that accident, other things about Mrs. Lu's children Is it not enough that I was not born? How can she forgive me?"

After a pause, after falling into a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed, "By the way, Chen Shuyuan is her mother, so I married Chen Shuyuan, so it's justified. Yunniang will forgive me if she wants to come to the underground, and I will let her daughter be the county. host!"
