Chapter 56: Get married (catch bugs)

On the first day of June, Shen Jian got married.

The wedding of the second son of Houfu in Zhenbei was not eye-catching. Lord Hou did not come back, and the wife's dowry was not public. Although the man's guards were brave, they were few in number and did not cause much movement.

Shen Jian rode a tall horse to marry the Yan family at the Yan family's house in Beijing. After a series of tests, he finally waited for the bride to arrive and was helped out of the courtyard, and then was carried on the sedan chair by Mr. Yan. Shen Jian was disappointed not to find the figure of the "big uncle" who served him as a matchmaker. He thought that the matchmaker probably never came to the capital at all, and the chess game agreed upon by the two could no longer be played.

After worshiping the heaven and earth hall and the husband and wife worshipping each other, the newlyweds were finally sent into the bridal chamber.

Although people of all ages, men, women, and children can enter the bridal chamber to molest the bride and say colorful words, the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei has a lot of rules. When Shen Yi got married, Shen Wen was less than ten years old, and Yang did not let her go to Shen Yi's bridal chamber. Now Shen Wen is about to be eleven years old before he can come to the bridal chamber.

Shen Wen squeezed into the crowd excitedly, waiting for Shen Jian to pick a hijab for Yan. The people around were talking witty words, Shen Jian blushed, took the weighing pole, and carefully raised the hijab to the bride. Everyone stared at the bride, but Shen Wen stared at Shen Jian vigorously. Shen Jian showed a confused expression when he saw the bride's face with heavy pink makeup. Yan raised his eyes and looked down at Shen Jian, pursing his lips and smiling.

Shen Jian was still in a daze. Everyone shouted to drink a cup of wine. Shen Jian picked up the cup. When Yan met with him, he smiled and whispered in his ear: "Fool!"

The red on Shen Jian's face spread to the back of his neck, his eyes widened, and he said, "You...you..."

Yan said in a low voice, "What are you about to drink!"

Shen Jian hurriedly put the cup to his lips, and drank a cup of wine with Yan's eyes. The crowd applauded loudly. Shen Jian turned his eyes to find Shen Wen, and saw her covering her mouth with a smile, so she could only grit her teeth secretly.

Shen Jian suddenly became a little embarrassed, sitting next to Yan's, his eyes didn't dare to lift, his face flushed as if he was about to bleed. Shen Wen thought he probably remembered how Yan used to be a matchmaker for herself.

Everyone saw that Shen Jian seemed to be shyer than the bride, and even more booed. After asking a lot of things like "will you have children", Yan gave a generous and clear answer. Shen Jian just looked at Yan frequently and tightly. He closed his lips, but the curve was smiling.

It was midnight and everyone was gone. The newlyweds washed separately, Yan Shi washed away the lead, and sat on the bed without face. Shen Jian entered the house after taking a shower, wearing only a white single shirt.

When Yan saw him, his eyes brightened, and after making everyone else back, he smiled and got up and took Shen Jian's hand and said, "I miss you, do you miss me?"

Shen Jian blushed again, and whispered: "I'm still looking for you, thinking you haven't come."

Yan Shi shook Shen Jian's hand and said, "Do you like me?"

Shen Jian looked at Yan with ordinary eyebrows, and he could deceive people's eyes when dressed as a boy, but his eyes were sparkling, full of love for himself, and his heart was touched suddenly, nodding and softly saying, "You are my wife." , I naturally like it..."

Yan bit his lip and smiled. He stretched out his arms and hugged Shen Jian’s waist, pressed his face to Shen Jian’s chest, and said, “I like you as soon as I see you. I thought, I must Marry you, or I will live my life in vain..."

Shen Jian hugged Yan awkwardly, and said in a low voice: "Then we... have a good life..."

Yan raised his head and said, "Of course! We are happily having a lot of children and have a good life!"

Shen Jian suddenly remembered what Shen Wen had said that when the Zhenbei Hou Mansion was destroyed, the Yan clan of the Liu clan died. He was not married at that time, he didn't know what the clan Yan was like, and he didn't feel any pain. But at this moment, the woman in his arms who was deeply attached to him gave Shen Wen's dream real connotations. Shen Jian thought that if one day, such a happy and lively Yan would commit suicide, he suddenly felt a needle stick in his heart. The same pain. He hugged Yan Shi tightly and said: "I will protect you well, and will not let you... be harmed."

Yan Shi smiled and said to Shen Jian: "My husband is really nice! I knew you were the best!"

Shen Jian smiled reluctantly, blew out the candle, and the two hugged each other in the darkness... and then slowly walked to the bed...

The next day, the newlyweds saw the old lady and Yang, just like in the previous life. Yan did not reveal his true colors at all, but when they saw Shen Wen and gave her a purse, he winked her eyes. Shen Wen smiled and saluted, and winked at Shen Jian.

After returning to her family on the third day, the Yan family took Shen Jian to the Yan family’s house in Beijing. After dinner, the two officials and Mrs. Yan bid farewell to the Yan family, and they were going back to their hometown. Yan really cried, but Mrs. Yan's second wife comforted Yan not to be sorrowful, and she was filial to the elderly in her husband's house, and fell in love with Shen Jian. Master Yan assured the two parents that if he was in the capital, he would help his sister at any time.

After leaving Yan's house, Yan cried seldom for a long time. Shen Jian usually saw that Shen Wen cried a lot. He naturally knew how to coax, but he knew how to coax him. When he got home, he had already coaxed Yan and took his hand happily. Let go.

After that, except for the Yan family to come out to ask for an honor, he hid in his yard, stuck with Shen Jian, played chess and read books, and lived a nourishing life of two people. So Houfu only knew that Shen Jian and his wife were doing very well, and no one knew Yan's extraordinary personality.

This summer passed peacefully, Shen Xiang was thirteen years old, and Shen Wen was eleven years old.

In the far north, the crown prince’s messenger finally found Tugu Khan and handed him a secret letter from the prince, assuring them: if they come to make friends, the court will form an alliance with them and will not violate each other.

Tugu Khan is gathering forces to fight to the death with his elder brother Qiuva Khan, his mother-in-law and several relatives who support him, and he is naturally happy to know that the Southern Dynasty will not attack him. He gave a ghostwriter and wrote back to the prince, saying that he would let his second son, Huo Luo, enter the South Face Saint as soon as possible on his behalf and negotiate the covenant.

In the autumn, the grain is ripe and the price of rice is low, and there are grain merchants buying grain and rice everywhere. In the capital, Zhenbeihoufu, with Shen Jian's insistence, spent all his savings to purchase grain and seeds. Both the Liu family and the Yan family quietly brought letters to their parents, asking them to buy food. Pingyuan Hou's Mansion, Ye Zhongshu's Mansion, Concubine Jiang Shu's foreign family, and some people familiar with them also bought a large amount of grains.

At the border, Zhenbeihou also agreed to use his savings to buy grains with Shen Yi’s insistence. Shen Jian asked to take the silver ticket to the border and handed it to Shen Yi. Shen Yi did not give Zhenbeihou, but quietly bought a lot of grain. And other supplies.

Shen Wen even asked Su Wanniang to tell Shi Helin and Duan Zeng through Su Chuanya to store food as much as possible.

After Duan Zeng heard about it, he came to see Shen Wen once when he sent Su Chuanya to the mansion. Shen Wen is eleven years old, and he will set up a screen when he sees a foreigner. Duan Zeng is also fifteen or sixteen, so he is a teenager.

Su Chuanya heard that she wanted to see Shen Wen, and she must follow. Su Wanniang took them to the living room between the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion. Four people stood on both sides of the screen, and Duan Zeng sighed: "I haven't seen him for a few days now. You just started to be so nonsense."

Su Chuanya poked her neck to look behind the screen, but was tugged by Duan Zeng.

Shen Wen clinging to the screen, lowered his voice and said, "I asked you to buy food, did you do it? If you don't have money, I can ask my second brother to give it to you."

Duan Zeng said with some disdain: "You don't need your money, the master is now very rich and has become a profiteer."

Shen Wen was surprised: "How come?"

Su Chuanya also smiled: "Really, we just bought the yard next to him. The master said that he would open a drug store. In the future, Master Qin will spend all the money that was scammed, and he can go to the drug store. The master said If others are good, selling medicine should be no problem."

Shen Wen asked incomprehensibly: "Why did your master make so much money?"

Duan Zeng said, "It's not the benzoin cake!"

Su Chuanya rushed and said, "Since the imperial palace wanted that fragrant cake, it spread in the capital. The master asked Master Qin to make it and sell it in our store. The more it sells, the more popular it is. Now we have twelve kinds of incense. It's a model! The expensive one is only a small piece for a couple of silver!"

Duan Zeng said indignantly: "He is almost like Robbery!"

Su Chuanya said to Duan Zeng: "But the master said that it was a daughter-in-law for you, you don't understand him at all, it's a little white-eyed wolf."

Duan Zeng hummed: "I don't want to marry me. How can I travel around the world with my family and I will become a master if I can't, I can only guard one place."

Shen Wen said hurriedly: "Don't worry about marrying or not, let your master take the money to buy rice and seeds. I figured it out. There will be a four-year drought in the future, so you need to save some grain."

Duan Zeng whispered: "Don't forget..."

Shen Wen knew that he was referring to going to the border together, and said hurriedly: "I haven't forgotten, that's another matter."

Duan Zeng breathed a sigh of relief: "I just came to ask you, I thought you let us buy a lot of grain, and you won't go anywhere."

Shen Wen said: "Why, that's a big deal."

Su Chuanya asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

Duan Zeng kissed the adult and said, "Don't ask children about adults."

Su Chuanya said firmly: "You'd better not do anything behind my back, otherwise..."

Duan Zeng smiled sinisterly: "Otherwise, put some croton juice in the water and sprinkle some tickle powder on the pillow" He is a doctor, who dares to stumble him

Su Chuanya cried out to the screen: "Sister, miss, he bullies me!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Wanniang walked over to La Su Chuanya: "Okay, you should also go back."

Su Chuanya turned her face to the screen and said, "Miss, you must tell me if you have anything! I'm with you!"

Duan Zeng took Su Chuanya's other arm and pulled him out together with Su Wanniang. He said, "No one wants to be with you. Does a 7-year-old 8-year-old dog know it?"

Su Chuanya jumped: "I'm nine years old! Nine years old! Dogs don't dislike me anymore..."

After sending them away, Su Wanniang came back with a smile, and walked with Shen Wen into the yard. When passing the moon gate leading to the garden, Shen Wen felt keenly. During the walk, there was a figure flashing into the distant rocks inside the gate. On the back, she pulled Su Wanniang down, changed her direction halfway, and walked to the moon gate, saying: "Oh, sister Wanniang, I remembered that day..."

After passing the Moon Gate, there is a stone path with artificial rocks on one side and lawn on the other. After walking a few steps, Xia Zi is standing on the side of the road with a smile on her face, and she salutes them: "Miss, sister Xia Wan, I am right. Go to the garden to pick some flowers for the lady."

Shen Wen smiled and said, "Thank you Blind Sister." He heard the slight breathing from behind the mountain and hurriedly pointed to the other direction behind Xia Zi and said, "What is that?" Xia Zi turned around and Shen Wen said. Su Wanniang pushed behind the rock.

Su Wanniang followed Shen Wen's strength two steps forward and shouted: "There is someone behind this stone!"

When Xia Zi turned her head to cover up, Wang Zhi was already blushing and walked out embarrassedly from behind the rockery.

It stands to reason that the maid and the young man just met and said a few words, which is not a big deal, but why Wang Zhi hid Shen Wen's eyes and immediately understood. Rao is because she has thousands of years of experience, still can't help turning around slightly, not looking at Wang Zhi anymore.

Su Wanniang didn't notice anything unusual, and asked loudly, "Why are you hiding in a sneaky way?"

In fact, at this time, I was confused because I didn’t want to "crash Miss" and so on. But Wang Zhijing caught his brain and suddenly knelt down to Shen Wen, saying, "I beg you to make it through..."

Su Wanniang stood in front of Shen Wen and said sharply: "You are crazy! Tell me about this kind of thing" Shen Wen is an eleven-year-old girl, how can he intervene in these adult marriages? Although Su Wanniang knows that Shen Wen has a thick skin, she must maintain Shen Wen's innocent image in front of outsiders.

Xia Zi also knelt down and said with tears: "Please forgive me, the slave and maid will do my best to serve the lady for the rest of my life, and please let the younger brother go..." She said this, as if Shen Wen was going to punish them, she would like to Save each other for a lifetime.

Shen Wen sneered secretly. In the previous life, you begged Shen Xiang not to marry Wang Zhi. I don’t know if you used this kind of rhetoric behind him to get him to attack my second brother, and you ended up being a concubine under Donggong. , Really good calculation. Now, I naturally want to fulfill both of you.

Thinking of this, Shen Wen took out a handkerchief and rubbed his eyes, and cried, "You have served me a bit, how can I treat you badly? Let's go to see my mother, let her make the decision for you and arrange the marriage!"

Xia Zi lost her voice: "No--"

Wang Zhi thanked him in surprise: "Thank you, Miss!"

Xia Zi stepped forward in a panic and wanted to hug Shen Wen's legs. Shen Wen had already turned around and said to Su Wanniang, "Let's go to mother."

Su Wanniang glanced at Xia Zi contemptuously, and helped Shen Wen, who was "gentle and tender," and walked to the Yangs' chamber.

Xia Zi had to stand up, crying and said, "Miss, Miss, the servant girl still wants to serve you well..." chasing after Shen Wen.

Wang Zhi was finally able to stand up, following at the end, sometimes pulling Xia Zi's sleeve, Xia Zi throwing away his pull impatiently.

Several people arrived outside Yang's hall, and people reported to enter, and Yang asked them to enter immediately.

As soon as he entered the door, Xia Zi knelt on the ground. Just as he was about to speak, Su Wanniang reprimanded: "Let the young lady speak first! There are no rules at all."

Yang looked at Shen Wen, Shen Wen wiped his tears, and said to Yang, "Mother, sister Wanniang and I were walking in the yard. I passed a moon gate. I remembered that I saw a bird on a tree in the garden the day before yesterday. When I build a nest, I want to take sister Wanniang to see..."

Yang frowned and looked at Su Wanniang. Su Wanniang hurriedly bowed and said neatly: "Xia Zi is standing by the side of the road, and this little servant is hidden in the rocks behind him. He walked out and said that the young lady will complete it." Four words, The whole story is clear.

Yang's furious, this kind of stubbornness caused her daughter to come across! It is common for Xiaosi and maidservants to get married. The host can make the decision to marry. If the relationship with the host is good, the parents of both parties may also come to mention it. If it is usual to flirt with each other, but you can't hook up in such broad daylight, if the atmosphere of a house is corrupted, your own children will also be harmed.

The Yang family was about to ask someone to sell two people. Shen Wen cried and pulled Yang’s sleeves and said, "Mother, they are all the hard-failed people saved by my father. Let our mansion fulfill them!" Hearing like It was to accept Wang Zhi's request.

Yang remembered that these two people were indeed brought back by Master Hou, and they were sold. Master Hou knew, no matter what the reason, they would frown and hesitate.

Xia Zi cried and said, "The servant girl is willing to serve the lady for a lifetime, and repay the Lord Hou Yeende! I beg Madam to let this little brother go, his parents are dead, and there is really nowhere to go." It sounded like Yang had made a decision. , She begged for love.

Shen Wen shook Yang's sleeves and said, "Mother, listen, she thinks of that person so much. The two must have a good friendship. Don't separate them, just let them be together..."

Yang was angry and said sharply to Shen Wen: "You are a girl, what are you talking about! Don't hurry up!"

Shen Wen covered his face with a handkerchief, and weeping, she was helped out by Su Wanniang. As soon as he went out, he was catching up with Shen Jian, who heard that Shen Wen was crying all the way to find Yang and hurried over. Shen Jian leaned over in front of Shen Wen and asked like a good brother: "Don't cry, little girl, what's the matter with the second brother."

Shen Wen choked, but there were no tears in her eyes lifted from the handkerchief. She hurriedly said in a low voice: "Let the two of them get married!" Then she cried: "Second brother, mother scolded me! Woo... …" Weeping on Pameng’s face again and walked away.

Shen Jian entered the hall door and saw Xia Zi and Wang Zhi kneeling in front of the Yang family. His heart was cold, but he still smiled and said to Yang family: "Mother, there is something big that makes the little girl cry."

Wang Zhi kowtowed to Shen Jian and said: "I am sincere to Miss Xia Zi! Please make it to the second son!"

Xia Zi cried and said, "The slave and maid would like to serve the lady for the rest of my life, and ask the lady for forgiveness..."

Yang's fingers trembled with anger: "The two of them were in the yard... and they were seen by the second lady."

Shen Jian smiled and comforted the Yang family: "Mother, they were brought back by Dad together. In our house, they probably share the same fate. The male elders should be married and the female elders should be married. Just do things for them. Why be angry I'm mad at you."

Since the last time Shen Jian used a knife to kill someone, Yang's later came back somewhat, and he didn't dare to despise this smiling son every day. Hearing Shen Jian's words, Yang's idea of ​​selling people was finally shaken.

Xia Zi cried bitterly and kowtow: "Madam, the maidservant is willing to serve the lady for a lifetime, and please forgive me!"

Shen Jian smiled and said: "You can still serve my sister even after you are married. Besides, my mother hasn't said what to do and talk about forgiving you. Would you let you marry, just let you go? Wang Zhi, tell me , Does this make sense?"

Xia Zi was speechless for a while, and Wang Zhi immediately kowtowed: "Thanks for the second son! Wang Zhi must take good care of the second son!"

Shen Jian still smiled: "Your life was saved by Lord Hou, so just serve the Hou Mansion well in the future."

Yang looked at Shen Jian with some doubts, and Shen Jian softly said to Yang, "Mother, let them get married, so that it would be a good explanation for father to ask in the future. Father rescued Wang Zhi from the dead. Let him follow me, I have to give him a good way out no matter what"

There was a faint irony in these words. Yang looked at Shen Jian carefully, and could not see anything from those smiling eyes.

Xia Zi looked at Yang in a panic: "Madam, madam..."

Yang finally sighed, "Well, let them be handled by them, but, Jian'er, do you want this person? I can let them go to Zhuangzi." Xia Zi cried loudly.

Shen Jian smiled and nodded and said, "Just let him come back to me. It's not wrong to like a maid, let alone getting married, it's not a frustration."

Yang was still a little depressed, looked at Xia Zi from the corner of his eye, and Shen Jian smiled and said: "I just came in, my sister is crying fiercely, my sister is nostalgic, mother doesn't have to punish this maid, let her return to her sister. Don't hurt my sister."

"How can you..." Just about to say that Shen Jian treated people too loosely, suddenly remembering the hundreds of dead people, he was shocked for a moment, looked at Shen Jian, Shen Jianzheng said gently to the two kneeling people on the ground: "Both Get up quickly, thank you, Madam. Wang Zhi, I will ask you to seal the silver, and the second lady will definitely have the silver on the side, congratulations."

Wang Zhi smiled with joy and saluted the Yang family again: "Mrs. Xie!" Then to Shen Jian: "Thank the second son!"

Yang turned his face depressed and ignored, Shen Jian motioned him to get up, Wang Zhi got up, and wanted to pull Xia Zi, who was still crying, and Xia Zi shook his arm to prevent him from touching.

Seeing this, Yang said, "The road is all on your own. Now that you have reached this point, so be it." She turned her head and called Qian Aiwu. All of them have no parents. You can stare a little, and find a matchmaker as soon as possible. The matter is done, don't drag it, don't get it right, there will be something shameless. "

Qian Huta slapped Xia Zi and said, "If you don't want to thank you, Madam, it's time to leave."

Xia Zi bowed to the Yangs reluctantly, crying with Qian Bai and Shuo Niu Wang Zhi awkwardly following them.

Yang frowned: "I don't understand, listen to what she said, and keep pleading for Wang Zhi, but let her marry him, why does she seem unwilling to do so?"

Shen Jian smiled: "Girls are all shy, just get married."

The Yang sighed deeply: "I have to ask your sister-in-law to take more things. This house is getting messy."

Shen Jian hurriedly reassured: "Where is the mess, it's just the maid's little sister who met her eyes. Don't worry about which house does not have a mother. Let them get married. Didn't this help them? Mother is considered a good thing."

Yang shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Qian followed the crying Xia Zi back to Shen Wen's yard. Shen Wen and Su Wanniang had already returned. Everyone knew what was going on. Now the maidservants in Qianjiao poking show are standing by the door or by the roadside, obviously waiting to hear the result.

Qian recessed Shen Wen and said with a smile: "Madam told them to take care of the marriage."

Shen Wen laughed: "My mother is so kind! Let me just say, they are sentimental and righteous, and they should be fulfilled!"

Qian'an Yun Nao's fiber and shoulders are all in a trance!

Xia Zi cried and saluted, Shen Wen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me, you just have to be happy!"

Xia Zi glanced at Shen Wen while crying. Shen Wen smiled and looked at her with swollen eyes. Xia Zi didn't see anything strange on Shen Wen's face, but Shen Wen saw clear hatred in Xia Zi's eyes.

Shen Wen asked Su Wanniang to give Xia Zi twenty taels of silver, and Xia Zi took it. Although she thanked her, she didn't have much gratitude. She withdrew from Shen Wen's house, and the maids who were watching came over to express her joy. Among them, there were many gloating people: Xia Zi was not very old, and she was very good-looking. No matter how she was the second largest maid beside Shen Wen, she could definitely find someone more. Ok. Whether you have a family or a career or a young manager, the lady will be older in two years, and she will open her mouth to her, but now she is sneaking around and finding a small servant. There is nothing to do. After you get married, you will have a couple. There is no place to live, and I have to rely on a single room given by the Hou Mansion. The other party doesn’t have a maid himself. Now that we have married a wife, it’s almost like having a maid. Someone washes her clothes and usually takes care of them. But Xia Zi is miserable, and she has another master, so she is here to serve. Miss, I have to serve another man when I go home...

This is the reason why many maids would rather be concubines than a servant: at least as a concubine, you don't need to wash your own and other people's clothes in a few cold days! You don't need to start a fire in front of the stove to cook, and you feel dizzy. No need to buy rotten vegetable leaves to save a few copper plates, no need to wear patched clothes...

In the eyes of many maids, Xia Zi had already ruined herself!

Xia Zi thought so too, and she couldn't stop crying amidst a congratulation.

In the room, Shen Wen whispered to Su Wanniang: "Wang Zhi is grateful to my second brother, and Xia Zi hates me. You said that the two of them are together. In the end, will they be good or bad to the Hou Mansion?"

Su Wanniang said without hesitation: "Bad thing, that Wang Zhi was ungrateful. His life was saved by Lord Hou, but he didn't make him grateful, so it doesn't matter how good he is! Xia Zi is on the pillow. Blow the air and he can do everything."

Shen Wen smiled: "Then we can also be considered a good marriage."

A few days later, a matchmaker walked through the scene and gave Qian Scarlai's wish for Qian Baiyu. Surrounded by several small servants and maids, Wang Zhi and Xia Zi paid homage to the tablets of Tiandi and their parents, and were sent to a single room given by the Hou Mansion.

Three days after the wedding, the two of them split up to work as errands. Wang Zhi still followed Shen Jian every day, while Xia Zi returned to the courtyard of Shenwen and became "Wang Zhi's house" and was relegated to a house-cleaning wife, recommended by the Liu family. Both Xia Qing and Xia Lan became Shen Wen's personal servants.

Before kissing Wang Zhicheng, Xia Zi wanted to escape several times, but her real master refused to let her go and she must guard the Hou Mansion. So, obviously there is a father and a mother, but just marry someone so unexplainably, and worship the tablet of the living parents!

Wang Zhi was a child in the northern village. He didn't know a few characters, and his usual customs were quite different from Xia Zi. Xia Zi lied about begging for relatives in other places. In fact, he grew up in Beijing. Although he is a commoner family, he feels superior to others. When you seduce Wang Zhi, you can show warmth, but once you get married, how do you think Wang Zhi is not pleasing to your eyes? Usually, it is rare to give a good face. I stay in the courtyard of Shen Wen every day until night before going home. I wish I could not see my husband. .

However, Wang Zhi was on his head. No matter how cold Xia Zi was, he didn't have to come back to sleep at night. He was in his youth and had no other place to use his brain. He became an animal thinking with his lower body. Every night, regardless of what Xia Zi's mood was, she tossed hard, making Xia Zi very annoying and hating her.

These helpless and unfilial things, Xia Zi was recorded in Shen Wen's account.

Zhang Yunming took Zhang Yunzheng all the way to the south, through hardships. It's not that food is not good and housing is not good. I won't talk about the tens of thousands of silver they brought. There are also various businesses of the Li family along the way. Naturally, they are well taken care of everywhere, but they are tired!

At the beginning, Zhang Yunzheng stopped everywhere, and he had to go and watch for a long time when he encountered a new thing. Passers-by quarreled, hawkers yelled, jealously jumped, yamen closed the case... he was going to join in the fun. Often when Zhang Yunming walked and turned his head, he couldn't see Zhang Yunzheng's shadow. Whether riding a horse or walking, Zhang Yunzheng can disappear inexplicably. Although there are so many times, Zhang Yunming can't get used to it. Every time he gets scared and sweats, he takes people back along the way, sometimes not far from the roadside, but sometimes far away from the road they have traveled. The place found Zhang Yunzheng who was watching the excitement with relish.

Zhang Yunming was angry: "You can't be so irresponsible, okay!"

Zhang Yunzheng is a little inexplicable: "What did I do?"

Zhang Yunming said: "You can't go alone! You have to follow me, you can't be gone without saying hello! I have to go to you!"

Zhang Yunzheng rolled his eyes: "Who asked you to find me, I will find it myself."

Zhang Yunming waved his fan: "How do you find it! We go south without staying! What if you get lost!"

Zhang Yunzheng disagreed: "Why! This pedestrian is so noticeable, but it only goes south, and it will definitely catch up if you inquire about it."

Although he knows that Zhang Yunzheng is right, Zhang Yunming is not at ease: "No! My parents handed you over to me, you have to listen to me! Let's go together!"

Zhang Yunzheng cried, "Why do you mean'hand it over' to you? You are only two years older than me! I asked you to come out with me! Leave me alone!"

Zhang Yunming said: "Of course you have to worry about it! I'm your brother! You are so playful and we walk so slowly. When can we get to Jiangnan and how to do things, it's no wonder that Miss Shen said you are a jerk!"

Zhang Yunzheng was angry and punched in the past... The two started their hands.

The two of them have seen each other a lot, they just stand on one side, yawning boredly, and chatting in a low voice. After they fisted and sweated profusely, the housekeeper of the Li family said with a smile: "Well, every time we go, we will allocate time for the second son of Zhang to play. Now the season is here. The son can go with me to buy food. Let's go all the way, buy all the way, and it won't delay things."

After the fight, Zhang Yunzheng also knew that he was at a loss, and his face was black and he didn't speak, so the matter was settled. In the days that followed, Zhang Yunming went to a place and went into the countryside with his butler to buy grain, and immediately arranged carts and horses to be transported to Li's station at the border gate. Zhang Yunzheng was able to wander around on his own at first, but then he followed Zhang Yunming and the housekeeper to buy food without emotion.

Because it is a good year, food prices are extremely cheap. Zhang Yunming didn't squeeze the price to death. He just spent a lot of money when it looked right. By the time they arrived at Li's home, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, most of the 400,000 silver bills they brought had already been spent.

The Li family, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, got news that his grandson and the eldest son of Ping Yuanhou had to come to see his grandfather in person, and he had already prepared. Although he is a junior, Li’s father, Li Laoguan, requires the highest level of reception: the most beautiful courtyard, repainted houses, new window frames made of phoebe wood... the furniture is the latest style, bedding, etc. Not to mention, the silk and satin are resplendent and magnificent.

It was estimated that the time was almost there, and the Li family sent people ten miles out of the city to greet him. After waiting for fourteen or five days, they finally waited for the caravan with the Ping Yuan Hou logo.

Looking at the dozens of people running over with a hula la la laugh, Zhang Yunzheng frowned and asked Zhang Yunming, "What are they doing?"

Zhang Yunming said graciously: "Of course it is here to welcome us."

Zhang Yunzheng was puzzled: "Why are there so many people?"

Zhang Yunming glanced at Zhang Yunzheng and said: "You are really ignorant, there are so many people, do you understand that this shows that we have a school!"

Zhang Yunzheng still asked: "Why is there a faction?"

Zhang Yunming said meaningfully: "So that the whole city can know that we are here."

Before Zhang Yunzheng was not clear, he was already forced to dismount, and to meet the visitors. Then, those people beat the gongs and drums, and Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng mounted their horses again, and they were surrounded by people into the city.

From outside the city to the Li family, Li family and people watching the excitement warmly welcomed them all the way. Because of their arrival, Li's business in the city has temporarily reduced the profits! Where did Zhang Yunzheng have seen this scene? Amidst the noise of people, he felt irritable and frowned all the way.

As Zhang Yunming said, when they arrived at the Li family mansion, the whole city knew that the grandson of the Li family, the eldest son of Hou Pingyuan, traveled from the capital to visit his grandfather. Along with him was the child of a powerful relative in Ping Yuanhou. Everyone can see that the two young people are really like dragons and phoenixes. One is especially handsome and looks so arrogant that he really deserves the title of first-class young man from the capital.

Overnight, the wealthy and wealthy families all over the city hated and envied the Li family. In private, they felt that the old official Li did a great job. Many people have begun to figure out that their daughter should also marry a rich man in the capital, especially this one who is at the door of the house.
