My life skills in Daming Liver

Putting Su Ze in Nanping, Fang Wanghai and Li Zhi hurried back to Quanzhou to organize their daughter's wedding.

There are two documents guiding the wedding of the Ming Dynasty, one is "Daming Huidian" and the other is "Zhu Zi's Family Rituals".

However, the six ceremonies in a wedding are indispensable. These six ceremonies are Nacai, Asking Names, Najib, Nazheng, Asking for a Date, and Greeting in person.

Among them, the first five parts were decided during the negotiation of the wedding, because Fang Wanghai was on leave to preside over the wedding, so the date has already been decided on the way, Su Ze only needs to follow the steps step by step.

After Su Ze returned to Nanping City, he felt guilty, so he didn't return to Changningwei for the wedding.

Su Ze brought the old grandfather and nine aunts from Changningwei to the county seat. He also bought a new house in the city as a place to get married.

The wedding process in the Ming Dynasty was already quite complicated. There were no elders in Su Ze's family, so his classmates could only help with the planning.

Fortunately, with the help of Han Li, a yin and yang student, and the help of many classmates, it went smoothly.

The wedding date has been set. On the pier of Changningwei, Lin Liangjun, who has grown tall, looked at Lin Mojun who boarded the ship and said:

"Sister, are you really not going to Brother Aze's wedding?"

Lin Mojun was cleaning the red-tasseled gun, and she said calmly: "The military situation is urgent. The Japanese fleet has appeared in Ryukyu. I'm going there. You can help me send the congratulatory gifts there, just tell Su Ze."

Lin Liangjun was silent for a while, he is now taller than Lin Mojun, and he has some understanding of children's affairs.

He also noticed the relationship between his sister and Su Ze.

Lin Liangjun said: "Sister! Shall I lead someone to snatch Brother Aze?"

Lin Mojun yelled loudly: "Nonsense! You're itchy again, aren't you?"

The suppressed power of the blood made Lin Liangjun hold his head, but Lin Mojun did not continue to attack.

Seeing that her younger brother was already taller than herself, Lin Mojun secretly sighed.

It would be great if my younger brother could grow up earlier.

It's a pity that Lin Mojun is still two years away from being able to inherit the military position.

My sister didn't beat me up? Lin Liangjun looked at Lin Mojun through her fingers, seeing the expression on her face, Lin Liangjun said quickly:

"Sister, I won't go either, I will accompany you to Ryukyu."

Lin Mojun looked at her younger brother and said, "Stop making trouble, neither of us will go, what do you want Su Ze's bride to think?"

"Whatever she thinks about it, it's obviously you who first met Brother Aze."

Lin Liangjun said dissatisfied.

Lin Mojun was silent for a while and said, "Do you know your ambition, brother Aze?"

Lin Liangjun shook his head. Su Ze had done so many things in Changningwei. Lin Liangjun only knew that he was a capable scholar, but he didn't know why he worked so hard.

Even Lin Liangjun felt that Su Ze was working too hard. He had already passed the Juren exam, but he was still busy, and even came back to get married in such a hurry.

Lin Mojun lowered her head and said, "I don't know completely, but I have some guesses."

She raised her head to look at Lin Liangjun and said, "But that Mrs. Fang certainly doesn't understand him better than I do."

Lin Liangjun stammered, "Sister! You want to steal someone?"

This time his ears did not escape, and Lin Mojun picked him up. Lin Mojun said:

"Itchy ears again?"

Putting down her brother who begged for mercy, Lin Mojun said, "Can Miss Fang go to sea? Can she accompany Su Ze to fight? The days to come are still long."

After Lin Mojun finished speaking, she carried a red-tasseled spear and boarded the New World.

"Take my gift there, and you can help me see what kind of person that lady Fang is."

Lin Liangjun quickly agreed. Seeing the sailing ship Xinshijie leave the port, Lin Liangjun also blamed herself a little. If she could inherit the position of Hundred Households as soon as possible, her sister would not have worked so hard.

At the same time, Quanzhou.

Fang Ruolan has already received a letter from her father, the wedding date has been set, Fang Wanghai is going home, and the wedding date will be in ten days or so.

From the last time Fang Wanghai wrote a letter, the Fang family had already started preparing for the wedding.

Fang Ruolan didn't know what kind of mood she was in. It included her expectations for married life, hesitation about her future life, and her sense of loss about leaving her natal family.

Mrs. Li stopped playing the horse crane these days, and was busy outside all day, just to prepare things for Fang Ruolan's wedding.

But Fang Ruolan has become bored these days.

Mrs. Li had also given up on Fang Ruolan's female celebrity. She recruited two wives with outstanding female workers in Quanzhou Prefecture and stuffed them into the dowry team.

After a busy day outside, Mrs. Li finally returned home, and she came to her daughter's boudoir.

Looking at her daughter with joy in the corner of her eyes, Mrs. Li finally knew what it means to be "a girl who is not allowed to stay in college".

She pushed the maid back and said to Fang Ruolan:

"Your father will return to Quanzhou tomorrow, and we will leave for Nanping in a few days."

Fang Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that her days in her natal family were numbered.

Fang Ruolan's expression was a little depressed, Mrs. Li stroked her hair and said:

"Silly boy, there will always be a day when you get married."

Mrs. Li took out a list from her sleeve:

"This is the dowry list from Su Ze, please take a look."

Fang Ruolan took it over and took a look. Normally, she was the head of the house, so she naturally knew the price of this betrothal gift, so she took a deep breath:

"So heavy?"

Mrs. Li sighed and said, "When I was in Nanping, it was said that Su Ze was the reincarnation of the God of Wealth. It was true. He started from scratch all these years, and he managed to accumulate such a fortune."

"Fortunately, your father has been promoted. Last time he wrote to ask for more dowry, it must not be less than the dowry. Let people say that our Fang family sold their daughter."

Mrs. Li took out a box: "Here are the property deeds of several shops in Quanzhou and Fuzhou, as well as the personal deeds of the shopkeepers. You know all these shops, and there is no need for mother to explain."

Fang Ruolan looked at it and immediately said: "Mother, this is the shop where the family makes money."

Mrs. Li handed the box to Fang Ruolan and said: "Your father's official career is just right. Are you afraid that you will run out of money when your younger brother gets married? Although the Su family has no parents-in-law, if you bring more dowry, Su Ze will not take it lightly." Waiting for you."

Only then did Fang Ruolan nod, Madam Li still picked up the box and said, "These must be sent along with the dowry."

After talking about the bride price and dowry, Mrs. Li said again:

"In the past, you were the one who was in charge of the family in the mansion. It is not difficult to manage the Su family with your ability. As a mother, I will tell you a few more words."

This is Fang Ruolan, Mrs. Li has been talking to her seriously for the past few years, Fang Ruolan straightened up.

Mrs. Li said: "Husband and wife are one. In the future, your wealth and glory must be remembered that your husband earned it outside, especially the family property. You have to remember that if Su Zefei is prosperous, it will naturally be a prosperous family business. The property is self-prosperous, just like your father's past two years, do you think it's because of taking care of your mother?"

Fang Ruolan shook her head. The Fang family's property is actually checked every year, but every shop makes money, and it's not ordinary money.

The shopkeepers of several shops in the family are also dedicated to their work, and there are very few cases of laziness and corruption.

The reason is naturally very simple. These shopkeepers are either relatives of the Fang family or servants of the Fang family. As Fang Wanghai's official position gets higher and higher, there are more and more places where they need Fang Wanghai's care.

For example, if the son of a distant relative wants to find a job, he needs Fang Wanghai's help. Once Fang Wanghai helps, the shopkeeper will definitely work harder.

Mrs. Li said: "You are smarter than your mother, and you understand the truth, so in the future, the family business will prosper, and don't think it is all due to your own credit. This is the result of your husband and wife's joint management."

"This is not to tell you not to manage the family business. You should also take care of the family affairs. A man has a lot of things. You have to take care of these small things at home, so that he has time to wander outside."

Fang Ruolan nodded quickly.

Mrs. Li said again: "You were able to run the family in the past. This is your blessing. Mother is not worried that you can't do well, but the Su family is not prosperous now, so don't forget the important things."

Fang Ruolan blushed, and Mrs. Li took out another exquisite book.

"You keep this picture, and there are a few other prescriptions for health care, you can eat it these days."

The next day, Fang Wanghai really returned to Quanzhou City, and three days later, the mighty dowry team, led by Lin Xianyang, rushed into Quanzhou City.

The city of Quanzhou was also frightened by Su Ze's dowry. Fujian people value rich marriages, but such a long dowry team is still rare.

Among them are not only common betrothal gifts, but also precious overseas spices and high-end Suzhou embroidery, all of which have opened the eyes of the people of Quanzhou.

I heard that the woman is from the family of Fang Wanghai, the servant of the Nanjing household department, and the man is from Xie Suze from this province, and the common people feel that they are a match made in heaven.

Lin Xianyang presented the betrothal gift on behalf of the man, and Fang Wanghai invited them to eat jujube cake. The exchange of marriage certificates was considered a set date.

As the good news was approaching, both Su Ze and the Fang family began sending invitations to relatives and friends.

Those who are acquainted with Su Ze are either planning to leave for Nanping to attend the wedding, or they are preparing to send someone there with a congratulatory gift.

Only now did Su Ze realize how troublesome it is to get married.

The visiting relatives and friends need to settle down. Su Ze has a wide network of contacts in Fujian, not only his classmates when he was studying, but as a provincial Jieyuan, all the Juren of the same year also gave gifts.

Those who are not familiar have to return as soon as possible, and those who are acquainted cannot directly return the gift, it will be considered disrespectful, and must be recorded, and returned when there is a happy event in the other party's home.

Su Ze's cashier skills have increased by 700 points! The valuation skill has also successfully increased to Lv4!

Among them, Eunuch Tao, who was in charge of Fuzhou Shipping Department, presented a box of shining silver coins. These silver coins came in various styles, and they should be tributes received by the Shipping Department from merchants.

Su Ze likes these exquisite silver coins from various countries alone, not to mention the value of this box of silver coins.

The Second Young Master Yu sent a good horse, which was even more handsome than the one given to Su Ze last time, so Su Ze could only accept it and return the gift when the Second Young Master Yu took another concubine next time.

All the people in Changningwei also gave gifts. Lin Liangjun helped Su Ze with the management, and at the same time brought gifts from Lin Mojun.

It has to be said that among all the gifts, Su Ze's favorite is the gift from Lin Mojun.

Lin Mojun's gift was an exquisite short gun. It is said that this was Lin Mojun's trophy when he helped the Ryukyu to fight against Japanese pirates.

With a silver stock, a hand-made barrel, and hand-carved reliefs on the stock, Su Ze couldn't put it down.

In addition to the blunderbuss, Lin Mojun also gave Su Ze an exquisite ship model. It is said that this ship model is exactly the same as the Portuguese giant ship built in Macau. It was made by the chief shipbuilder who built the giant ship. of.

I don't know where Lin Mojun got this model ship. Su Ze carefully placed the model ship in the most conspicuous place in the study, and picked it up every day to play with it.

In the twinkling of an eye, the day before the auspicious day, Fang Wanghai and his family had arrived in Nanping, and the dowry convoy shocked the people of Nanping again.

The Fang family's dowry was no less than the dowry gift from Su Ze, and even more.

Needless to say, jewelry, Mrs. Li has prepared more than 30 dowry for Fang Ruolan, including maids, cooks and tailors, and Fang Aizhu's body deed is also included. Su Ze's book boy is gone.

Fang Wanghai is still temporarily staying in the back of the Town God's Temple. The newly appointed Yanping prefect and Nanping Sun magistrate greet him outside the city. The whole Nanping county knows that tomorrow is a good day for Duke Xie Yuan.

Fang Wanghai looked at Nanping City, thinking of the days when he was the magistrate in Yanping Mansion, his daughter was about to get married, and his mood was a little complicated.

Declining the visits of the old disciples and officials in the city, the family sat in the courtyard behind the Town God's Temple, and Fang Wanghai thought of the first day he came to Nanping.

"After you get married, I will take your mother and younger brother to Nanjing."

Fang Wanghai said to his daughter.

Fang Ruolan nodded. A senior official like Fang Wanghai will basically bring his wife to take up the post. The last time it was because he didn't settle down, so it's normal to go to Nanjing together this time.

Fang Wanghai said again: "After you get married, you should stay in Nanping until the next year, and let Su Ze take you to Nanjing after the next year. Su Ze will still need to help with the affairs there."

Mrs. Li said dissatisfiedly: "Your daughter and son-in-law just got married, you have to ask your son-in-law to help you. The journey is tiring, so what about the pregnancy preparations!"

Fang Wanghai sighed and said, "There are still many things in Nanjing that need Su Ze's help to prepare."

Mrs. Li was quite dissatisfied, but she thought that if they all went to Nanjing, she would be able to meet her daughter more, so she didn't say anything to stop her.

Fang Wanghai wanted to say something, but looking at his daughter, he couldn't say anything.

In the early morning of the next day, the entire back house of the Town God's Temple was bustling with activity.
