A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

After seeing off the Mangshan Army, Shen An was melancholy for two days, and then was woken up by Bao Zheng.

"Mr. Bao, is Bao Shou good?"

Guo Guo was a little unhappy when she saw that he came without a bag or ribbon.

Bao Zheng said with a smile: "Be good, very good."

When he saw Shen An frowning in thought, he said, "Please calm down a little. The Yang family has almost prepared the dowry... But Yang Jinian is not rich after all. Are you ready to pay for it?"

The so-called douchi is related to the current custom of thick marriages.

At this time, anyone who marries a girl must prepare a generous dowry, otherwise she will be ridiculed.

Wealthy people are naturally not afraid of this, but ordinary people are troubled by it.

what to do?

Tell your son-in-law directly: My family's conditions are just like this, and the dowry is only this much. Are you willing?

If the man is unwilling, the relationship will be considered a failure.

If the man is satisfied with the woman, he will privately give her some jewelry and money so that the woman can prepare a dowry, which means that the man is giving her face.

This kind of behavior of saving face for the woman is called douche.

Shen An thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Yang won't be able to keep his temper."

Bao Zheng sighed: "That's a proud person. He does whatever he wants, but refuses to bow his head."

Shen An comforted: "He doesn't care about the woman's dowry. To put it bluntly, Mr. Bao, you also know about Mr. Bao's net worth and the amount of the woman's dowry... Is it interesting?"

He said these words with such boldness and aura of nouveau riche that a fierce light flashed in Bao Zheng's eyes.

"That's all, I'll go talk to you about this."

This was the job of a matchmaker, but Bao Zheng was worried that the matchmaker would do something bad, so he took leave and went to Yang's house.

Shen An remembered something and said, "Bao Gong, wait a minute. I've got something good here, please take it with you."

"what?"

Bao Zheng didn't have time to waste time, so Shen An said: "Cake."

"cake?"

Bao Zheng frowned and said, "Is it important?"

"It's delicious, Mr. Bao, it's delicious."

Guo Guo said with joy, "It's so sweet and fragrant. Bao Gong, you want to eat it. You'll like it after you eat it."

Bao Zheng's brows relaxed a little and he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Guoguo, I'll just wait. If it doesn't taste good..."

It doesn’t taste good. I pickled your brother and waited for it to be used as a drink during the New Year.

More than half an hour later, Shen An brought out two food boxes.

"Mr. Bao, one box is for you. This stuff is chewy and soft. If it's not too sweet, you can eat it often."

"Sneaky, what could it be?"

Bao Zheng didn't have time to check, so he hurried to Yang's house.

Yang Jinian was also at home today waiting to discuss the marriage. When Bao Zheng came, he saw him carrying a food box and smiled and said, "What else does Bao Zheng bring?"

"Your son-in-law's."

Bao Zheng said angrily: "Your son-in-law did remember to flatter me and say he was a good thing for your family."

Yang Jinian casually ordered: "Take it to the back."

Ah Qing carried the food box and went to the back. Li and Yang Zhuoxue were doing needlework. When they saw it, they smiled and said, "Whose is it?"

Ah Qing smiled and said, "It's... Mr. Shen asked Mr. Bao to send it to you."

Li said reservedly: "What could it be? Open it and take a look."

Yang Zhuoxue looked calm on the surface, but she stopped doing her work and glanced at the food box from time to time.

When Mrs. Li saw it, she smiled and said, "Watch it if you want. In a while, you will be part of his family. What are you afraid of?"

Yang Zhuoxue lowered her head and said, "Mom, I can't bear to leave you."

Naturally, Mrs. Li couldn't let go of her daughter, but she comforted her: "It's okay, they are all in Bianliang City. If you need anything, just call someone."

The atmosphere was a little sad. Just when the food box was opened, a sweet smell came out. Li Shi let out a sigh, then leaned over to take a look and said, "What is this golden thing?"

She reached out and grabbed a small piece, sniffed it first, then tentatively put it into her mouth...

Bao Zheng also made a mistake while he was busy and did not tell them that this thing was food, so Li was as nervous as a drug test.

Yang Zhuoxue was infected by the atmosphere and looked at her nervously.

Li gradually opened the corners of her mouth, then chewed a few times, and then speeded up...

"Hmm... delicious, delicious."

She took another piece and then remembered her daughter: "Cut it open and taste it all."

Ah Qing went to get a knife to cut the cake and then divided it.

Yang Zhuoxue took a bite and immediately felt happy.

When you feel unhappy, go for something sweet.

I don’t know who said this, but Yang Zhuoxue really felt happy.

"This person is so...even the food is so outstanding."

Mrs. Li praised: "Daughter! You will be lucky to get married in the future. At least you will have good taste every day."

Yang Zhuoxue felt the sweet fragrance remaining in her mouth, squinted her eyes and said, "Mom, I will have someone bring it to you to eat when the time comes."

"What you say now is good, but I'm afraid I will forget my mother by then..."

Li didn't believe it, but she felt extremely satisfied in her heart.

"I'm afraid the palace doesn't even have this thing, right?"

Mrs. Li found that she and her daughter had forgotten to leave some cakes for the two men at home, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Definitely not."

Yang Zhuoxue was thinking about Shen An and that man's versatility.

He is so kind, why should he be so kind to me... to me?

He came back specially for my birthday, put all the business behind him, and gave me those surprises.

Does he like me this much?

There was more longing in Yang Zhuoxue's eyes.

Only if you like me... will I like you!

If two people like each other, what day will it be?

But since he is so outstanding, many women must like him. Will he have many women in the future?

Why!

Sharing my crush with those women...will I still like him?

A girl's thoughts are always like this, like rain and fog, ever-changing.

"Mom, will he have other women?"

Yang Zhuoxue's question made Li stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Daughter! You are the wife, other women are just concubines, concubines... they are just playthings..."

We are all women, do those people want to be reduced to playthings?

A picture automatically appeared in Yang Zhuoxue's mind...

Shen An was beating the concubines with a leather whip, and then ordered them to sing and dance for fun...

Somewhat cruel.

She nodded, feeling very sad, so she wrote a letter and asked Ah Qing to send it quietly.

A Qing came back later, and she went to see Mrs. Li first.

"...The lady's letter is probably asking how many women Mr. Shen will have in the future and whether he will abuse them..."

"You actually asked this..."

Mrs. Li was speechless, thinking that her unintentional words had caused her daughter to struggle, and she couldn't help but want to laugh again.

This is an era where men are superior to women. Of course, there are many men who only stick to one woman for their whole life, such as Lao Wang and Sima Guang.

Wu is Lao Wang's cousin. The cousins ​​were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship. Naturally, they would not tolerate other women coming in to interfere.

As for Sima Guang, that man can be called a gentleman in this regard, even Shen An is ashamed of himself.

Li sighed: "Silly daughter! What do you want Shen An to say about this kind of thing..."

A smile appeared on Ah Qing's face and he said: "Then Langjun Shen looked a little weird when he read the letter. I thought he was going to be angry, but who would have thought that he actually said... The so-called fraternity means not loving, but in fact it is desire. They are causing trouble, just like cattle and horses..."

"I don't know what this means."

Ah Qing was a little confused.

Li's eyes were a little happy, but also a little sad, and said: "What he means is... he doesn't want to be a cow or a horse."

Cows and horses mate only for reproduction, no matter who they mate with.

But people are different, they have more emotions.

Ah Qing was startled, then happily went to the back.

"Little lady, little lady..."

After asking Ah Qing to deliver the letter, Yang Zhuoxue felt a little regretful and felt that he was too reckless, so he kept worrying about gains and losses.

"What's wrong?"

She suddenly woke up from deep thought, and Ah Qing smiled and said, "Mr. Shen said he doesn't want to be a beast!"

"Don't be a beast?"

Yang Zhuoxue didn't react, so Ah Qing said: "He said that fraternity is an animal, like an ox and a horse..."

There is no one else with this kind of language association ability. If Shen An were here, he would probably give Ah Qing a good review.

After this training, he will be a master at making remarks and causing trouble.

Fraternity is a beast. If you say this, Shen An will be despised by so many people!

Su Shi wrote a poem for her on the tenth anniversary of Wang Fu's death: Ten years of life and death... Later, he and Wang Runzhi stayed together for more than twenty years. After Wang Runzhi passed away, he was deeply saddened, but he still had Wang Chaoyun...

"real?"

But women would not spurn him, and that was the case with Yang Zhuoxue.

The girl was worried that he would be angry, so she had been worrying about gains and losses. Now that she got the news, she could hardly believe her ears.

Ah Qing nodded and said, "That's what I said."

Oh my God, when did Shen An say that fraternity is a beast?

Yang Zhuoxue's eyes lit up immediately, and the brightness made Ah Qing couldn't help but praise: "What a pretty lady, Mr. Shen is so lucky."

…

Shen An was also amused by the girl's naivety, but when Zhao Zhen heard about the cotton incident, he summoned him into the palace for questioning.

"Is there really such a treasure?"

There was suspicion in his words, "If it is true, why don't the Liao people use it?"

Han Qi smiled and said: "I can weave cloth, stuff it in clothes and quilts, and it is easy to feed... Your Majesty, if there is such a treasure, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Liao people are not fools."

Zeng Gongliang also nodded. Ouyang Xiu's face was expressionless. Anyway, his eyesight was not good, so he pretended not to see it.

This is common sense and even children can come to this conclusion.

This is also life experience, and from being ignorant as a child to reading a thousand sails in old age is to gain life experience.

If Shen An were a native, he would judge like this, but he comes from later generations.

Later generations recorded what happened to peppers when they first landed...Flowers were kept at home for people to watch.

But pepper later conquered China, sweeping everything from south to north.

And cotton blossoms are also beautiful to look at. Most Liao people can grow flowers...

right!

Shen An said: "Your Majesty, most of the Liao people who can grow flowers are the rich, and the rich don't need clothes! Whether it's silk or satin, they have everything, so who has nothing to think about what the cotton can do? Besides, they have everything. No, they don’t have that ability.”

This is not Shen An's boast, Chinese people have this ability to make the best use of everything. For example, eating, flying in the sky except for airplanes, running on the ground except for cars, swimming in the sea except for ships...

There is nothing we can’t eat!
