Chapter 19: Swinging

"Come out from the Duanli Gate of the palace and start to detour around the royal city to the west," Zhang Zhaohua arranged a route: "Through Wanbaofang, Anfufang, Jiqingfang, Faxiangfang, Fengchufang, Penglaifang, Mingzhaofang and Renshoufang, do not stop here, and go directly to Baodafang into Nanxunfang." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Zhaohua took into account that Mingzhaofang and Renshoufang are close to the imperial city of Zhenrenmen, and Chongrenmen is the poorest gate of the nine gates in Beiping, which is all the place where pot kiln vendors and people with poor incomes live, that is, the so-called slums, this place is not only dirty, but also miscellaneous goods occupy most of the streets, and the remaining half of the streets are bricks and timber cars. In addition, there are brick kilns and tile kilns in this place, and timber brought from the south also enters the city through Chongren Gate.

First of all, this place is considered to be crowded, and a large number of dowries cannot be carried over, and secondly, it is considered that the entire three-mile-long street is not paved with stone roads, but mud roads, and this chariot and horse people have not been careful in the past, and the valuable things may be broken at the fingertips, and in the dowries of the two county lords, there are several treasures that are fragile porcelain, and such a risk cannot be taken.

Finally, there is another layer of consideration, because the security there is not guaranteed, the dowry is exaggerated, and the poor gather in the place, who knows if there will be people who are jealous and deliberately rob, not only in the future generations. Who cares that you are the dowry of the royal palace guard, once someone instigates it, there may be a large-scale looting action.

Zhang Zhaohua thought about it, and was extra careful when formulating the route, and then arranged designated guards at various intersections to guide and take care of them along the way, not only to ensure that the makeup was carried into the palace according to the established route, but also to ensure that the onlookers saw the abundance of red makeup. Out of this, I have to instruct the guards in charge of carrying the dowry over and over again, their job is not only to send the dowry to the Yibin Mansion, but more importantly, they are well versed in the way of "carrying the dowry". That is to say, they have to follow Zhang Zhaohua's instructions, learn to shout, learn to sing harmony, and pronounce the same long name, for example, a mirror set, you read the full name "with the copper mirror on both sides of the red satin embroidered dragon and phoenix Chengxiang holding the golden double happiness word Ruiyun all over the ground descendants of the Bandai side mirror set", the effect will definitely be different, and the latter will definitely make everyone stretch their necks to see.

Then there is the order of the dowry, many dowry items which are in the front, what kind of back, which thing needs to be placed in the light, which thing needs to be placed in the dark, are arranged by Zhang Zhaohua, she arranged a total of 130 dowries, divided into two days to praise the street, the first day to send large pieces of furniture, with "reward Ruyi" as the head lift, indicating that everything is good, the second day is the tent, utensils and gold, silver, satin cloth and other things, as for the crown clothes, hairpin rings, necklaces, On the head, these valuable jewelry can not be displayed openly, because there are more people, it is inevitable that they will be busy and chaotic, if someone takes the opportunity to roll away the fine soft, and finally it will definitely not be found.

This is also the first time Zhang Zhaohua has taken over such a major detail, she knows that this is the princess to test her skills, if she does it well, she will have a greater say at home, and the princess will rest assured that she will take over the housework, but if she does it badly, of course, it is just that she does it badly, not that the errand is bad, she will definitely be excluded from the housekeeper's power, which may not be the princess's meaning, but the consensus of everyone in the house.

Especially at the beginning, she also had the idea of inviting merit, and it was her idea to carry the dowry to the city to boast of wealth, and it was pressed on her from beginning to end, although it was just around the dowry, and it was not a lot of things to marry, send a sedan chair, marry, send relatives, support the sedan chair pole, eat and drink and return to the door, but this one thing is enough for her to work hard, and she also sees the big from a small point to know the right of a king's housekeeper, which is the so-called "cooking feed", which really requires considerable ability.

In the feed, refers to the family's best food, women cook for the family, it is called "the main feed", emphasizing that women should take cooking as a compulsory course before getting married, in preparation for the future in the husband's family to preside over the feed, and by extension, it is the meaning of taking charge of the husband's internal affairs.

This has always been one of the ancient women's boudoirs, the mother will teach her daughter to cook, teach her to hold hemp, treat silk, take wine syrup, make bean paste, how to take care of things in her husband's house, as for Zhong Ming Ding Food House, you should watch the sacrifice, from the ritual, know the ceremony, the funeral, the wine ceremony and other etiquette, in the future to marry the right family, will not be black-eyed.

Of course, people with background, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are also one of the boudoir teachings, but this is an additional boudoir teaching, that is to say, these things can only be learned to entertain themselves, cultivate temperament, or at most subtly cultivate a quiet character, but it is not beneficial to take care of the affairs of the back house.

Zhang Zhaohua also helped the Wang family do a lot of housework, and also watched how her sister-in-law Zheng arranged things, but now she found out that the things she heard and witnessed were insignificant compared to such a huge family business as the palace.

She was so determined to do this thing that she threw herself on it wholeheartedly, and it was almost time to turn off the lights at night, and she didn't sleep, holding the map of the imperial city and looking at it, drawing marks on it, even if she slept in bed, she thought about what she would have to explain tomorrow.

Gao Chi next to him seemed to have fallen asleep, and he was also busy for days, because March was the time to distribute wheat seeds, which was a policy to benefit the people, specifically for the farmland in the eastern suburbs that was played last year because of the rising water of the Tonghui River, and the three princes in the house were all sent out by King Yan to do it personally, and they were so tired that they fell into bed when they came back at night.

People with insomnia like Zhang Zhaohua are envious when they see Gao Chi snoring from sleep. Somehow, she felt uneven, and when she looked around, she suddenly saw a small whisk on the side of the pillow, so she quietly picked it up, plucked two wool dust tails, and smashed them into Gao Chi's nose.

It wasn't enough to twist the hair in this way, she turned around a few more times, hooked a few more times, and sure enough, she saw Gao Chi's nose wrinkled together, and her originally closed mouth also opened, and she exhaled loudly.

Zhang Zhaohua made persistent efforts and folded the wool in half, so that it was stuffed into the two nostrils, looking at Gao Chi who seemed to be very embarrassed, and felt a sense of pride in his heart that he had done something bad.

When Gao Chi finally couldn't help sneezing, Zhang Zhaohua decisively threw away his wool and turned over and pretended to fall asleep, of course his eyes were closed, but his ears were quietly opened, paying attention to Gao Chi's movements next to him, who was still awake.

Gao Chi woke up in shock, and he didn't seem to know why he woke up, but knowing that he had sneezed just now, he subconsciously straightened up and touched his chest again.

Gao Chi because his belly is too big, when he sleeps and lies down, he is not as sunken as others, but his belly is high and bulging, if he is covered with a brocade quilt, it is easiest to slip down, from the chest to the stomach, so he often sleeps all night and gets up, Gao Chi will feel that his arms and chest are cold, but today he found that the quilt is still well covered on his chest and has not slipped to his stomach.

Now he was even more confused, and he began to wonder if he had dreamed some strange dream just now.

Zhang Zhaohua secretly opened his eyes and saw Gao Chi hunched motionless, and after a while, he let out a long sigh, which made her think of a kidney loss advertisement, so vivid, she didn't hold back for a while, hahaha burst out of an earth-shattering sound.

Not only was Gao Chi startled, but even the palace maid who was keeping vigil outside was also startled, she was about to lift the curtain with the lamp and candle, but she heard the laughter in the tent and the sound of two whispers, so she quietly turned around and retreated.

Gao Chi reacted suddenly: "It's you, isn't it! What are you doing not sleeping!"

He looked at Zhang Zhaohua, who was rolling on the bed, angry and puzzled, but when Zhang Zhaohua saw his expression, he even laughed so much that he even kicked the quilt to the ground.

"Oh, I'm laughing to death-" Zhang Zhaohua hurriedly scooped up the quilt, rolled onto the bed, and laughed happily again.
