Tang Bo** was wearing a docile horse, dressed in auspicious clothes, with a big red flower on his chest, a pair of trumpeters in front, and a long queue in the back. Ω pen fun Ω "Pavilion".

They went straight to the Zhou family's house in Jinling, and after a series of familiar procedures, they took the bride to the sedan chair to welcome their relatives.

The eight-lift sedan chair that the bride sits on is specially made, and the red hanging colors are also specially exquisite.

This sedan chair is also leased, and there is only one commercial bank that specializes in undertaking happy events in Jinling, and the city of Jinling is so big, why is there only one? Because other merchants who want to undertake red and white ceremonial events have been crushed by them.

The monopoly power was enormous, and it was the same in the Ming Dynasty.

The rent of this sedan chair is eight hundred taels of silver a day, and the price is not bargained. Converted to 50,000 or 60,000 yuan today, renting a luxury Bentley, or Rolls-Royce may not be so expensive.

Expensive, it is indeed expensive, but anyone who has status and status has to rent this sedan chair from this firm, according to this firm, this is a symbol of status, if you don't spend the eight hundred taels of silver, it means that you are a poor man at all.

What if a family with a small family can't afford to spend this money on marrying?

It's also easy to do, the price of this business house renting out a sedan chair ranges from ten taels of silver to eight hundred taels, if ten taels of silver are not willing to spend, just get a sedan chair and hang some ribbons and saffron.

Tang Bohu also felt sorry for this money, but he couldn't help it, spending money was not about service but decency, and when to spend it on a happy day, even if it was hemorrhage, he had to admit it.

Besides, when he heard about it, he also thought that the price was ridiculously expensive and not worth it, and asked Tang Bohu not to use the sedan chair of this commercial house at all, he could lend the marquise's sedan chair, which was not only higher than the sedan chair of this commercial house, but also did not cost one or two silver.

Tang Bohu smiled bitterly and told him that anyone who marries in Jinling City has to rent this sedan chair, otherwise he will be criticized, saying that you can't afford to spend this money at all, and he can't afford to lose face.

Besides, he couldn't understand this kind of thing, so he had to shake his head and say nothing.

The large welcoming team naturally attracted groups of roadside people to stop and watch.

"Whose wife is this?"

"It's so decent, it must be a big family with power and money. ”

"I heard that it was Tang Bohu, a genius in Jiangnan, who married. ”

"Tang Bohu, no, didn't he already have a wife? I didn't hear that his wife died. ”

People on the side of the road are chattering, and many people know that this is the marriage of Tang Bohu, a genius in Jiangnan, and there are two theories as to whether to marry a wife or a concubine.

"I heard that it was a concubine, not a wife. ”

"Nonsense, do you do this with concubines? This is a full set of wife-marrying styles, and you can't even see this, so you better shut up. ”

"People are talented, rich, they can do what they like, and they can do the same with concubines, can you manage it?"

"That's not right, no matter how rich a person is, it's not like this when he takes a concubine. Look at how much dowry there is in the back, who has heard that there are concubines who pull dowries?"

Soon, authoritative figures in this area gave authoritative judgments.

"Why not, isn't Hu Er of Old Zhonglou Street just a rich widow who has two rooms as a concubine?"

As soon as the words of the authoritative figures came out, there were voices of opposition.

"Well, don't say it, it's true. Hu Er's life is really what his mother didn't say, there are wives who are violent, but he relies exclusively on concubines. Someone chimed in.

"That's not right, Hu Er is indeed a concubine, but the dowries of the two concubines are all sent in through the back door, have you ever seen such a clear use of a car to pull the dowry. ”

Pundits are skeptical.

"Well, it's true that Hu Er's concubine is not so beautiful, it's not a matter of having money or not, it's Li'er. ”

"People are talents, and they don't care about anything polite or impolite. ”

……

Tang Bohu listened to the discussion of people on the street, and his heart was also happy and worried. He is empty in his heart, this is a violation of the laws of the Ming Dynasty in broad daylight.

Originally, he was asked to change his identity to marry a wife, but he also knew that it was impossible, he was too famous in Jiangnan, he couldn't be completely anonymous, and he would soon be revealed, so it was better to marry a wife wearing the skin of a concubine like this, which could be regarded as the Yun family and Qiu Xiang letting him go.

He now finally understands the meaning of the phrase "I am tired of fame all my life".

The autumn fragrance in the sedan chair was full of joy, and her long-cherished wish had finally been fulfilled. Although Tang Bohu still has a wife at home, he is old and will never come to compete with her for status and fame, and Suzhou and Nanjing will naturally be safe.

Nothing can be perfect, young people often find it difficult to be considerate, and talented people can't be single-minded. Relatively speaking, Tang Bohu can also be regarded as a suitable object for Qiu Xiang.

She is very grateful that she has finally won the status of a wife for her, which is not an ordinary name, but a legal status. Concubines have no human rights, they can be bought and sold and given away, but the main wife is different, and the status of the husband is the same at home, only the difference between inside and outside. This is also the legal embodiment of what the sage said, "husband and wife have the intention of being hostile".

As for the various discussions of the people on the side of the road, she didn't care at all, although she lost some face in the name of taking a concubine, she got benefits, and that was enough. In everything, it is impossible to have two sides of the face, depending on which side you want.

In the sedan chair in the back, Pomegranate and Sisi sat down, and the two of them didn't care about the noisy words outside, only in front of the wind.

"Qiu Xiang is married, and your heart is over. Pomegranate sighed.

She knew that Sisi was more concerned about Qiu Xiang's marriage than anyone else, and she had always been a heart problem, and now it could finally be dissolved.

"Yes, I have to thank you for it, if it weren't for his blind toss, Qiu Xiang's marriage would not have been delayed until the Year of the Monkey. ”

"Thank him for something, to be honest, I now blame him for being nosy, and I don't know what he is so passionate about. Pomegranate still felt uncomfortable in her heart, lest she would become a sinner in the future.

Speaking of which, she and she are really two kinds of people, Pomegranate is usually a good thing, and she is very enthusiastic about everything, and she is the kind of master who doesn't care about everything except practicing medicine and studying, but she is a little too enthusiastic about Qiu Xiang and Tang Bohu's marriage. Especially the painting of autumn fragrance, although it also paints the fairy spirit, these together, can't help but make the pomegranate a little jealous.

Sisi didn't speak, knowing what Pomegranate was thinking, she didn't know what was going on in her heart, this thing was indeed a bit risky, but it was indeed the most perfect approach.

Pomegranate didn't pay attention to the discussions of passers-by outside, but looked at the people on horseback in the outer part of the family delivery procession from the car window, these were ordinary guards dressed as guards of the Zhongshan Palace. Their task is to protect her, as long as she is in Nanjing, she can get the same treatment as the little prince.

"Did you deliberately make the battle yesterday so that you would be jealous?"

Sisi also noticed the palace guards on both sides, and suddenly thought of the unnatural expression on his face when he heard yesterday that the people from the palace were coming to pick up the pomegranate.

"Don't blame me, that's not really what I meant. Pomegranate chuckled, one in both hands.

Sisi said: "That is, the palace does things according to the rules, and people don't care who is happy and who is not." ”

"But it's good to let him be jealous, he hasn't been jealous for me yet, it's because I'm jealous that I make me look like a vinegar woman." Pomegranate said with a moment's laugh.

"Well, that's true, I've never seen you jealous. Sisi smiled too.

"Even in the future, you have to let me arrange what he is jealous of. ”

The two of them laughed again, and Pomegranate asked Wen Bin if he was sure about the scientific expedition.

Sisi smiled bitterly: "How can I be sure of this, fortunately, he didn't expect anything, just to find a feeling and accumulate some experience, and he didn't think that he would be able to win this time." ”

"Is that good? I've heard that losing once in the field is like dying once, can he withstand this blow?" said Pomegranate.

"Well, he still has the strength to not admit defeat, but Master Lian has told him many times, this time he is just looking for experience, and if he doesn't win the best, if he wins the ranking too low, it will become a regret for a lifetime. ”

"Your Wenbin still wants to connect the three yuan, but there is only one in our Ming Dynasty. Pomegranate opened her mouth in surprise.

Lianzhong Sanyuan refers to the first place in the township test, the Jinshi will test and the Shidian test are all ranked first, and during the entire Ming Dynasty, only Shang Ke of the Yingzong Dynasty enjoyed this honor. As a result, Lianzhong Sanyuan has become the most auspicious blessing for the imperial examination people.

"Where do you dare to think about this, but Master Lian really hopes that he can pass the exam in the future, and as for the top prize in the first hall, I don't think about it. ”

Just as he was saying this, Wen Bin, who was riding a horse beside the sedan chair, heard it, smiled and smiled at the two people in the car: "I'm hopeless, let's see what's going on in the future, maybe I can really get three yuan." ”

Pomegranate smiled: "It's even more impossible for him, I look at his posture, and it's hard to say whether he will even participate in the township test." ”

"Why don't you participate, he only said that he didn't want to be an official, and he didn't say that he would give up the imperial examination, in fact, he could not be an official if he got fame. Silk said.

Pomegranate thought for a while and said: "I see that he is becoming more and more addicted to practicing medicine, and the old man is also changing the law to encourage him to practice medicine. ”

"Then what do you think, it's a matter for the two of you, and it can't be left to his temperament, right?"

"Does what I say work, now only the old man's words will he listen to. Pomegranate said smugly.

She naturally hopes that she can get ahead in the imperial examination, not for anything else, just to show his talent. No matter what kind of celebrity you are, what kind of famous doctor, how talented you are, you don't have a decent name as a champion, as for Lianzhong Sanyuan, although it is a joke, it also expresses a certain yearning for the imperial examination.

"I'll talk to him one day, and then let the trainer persuade him. He had to listen to the trainer's words. Wen Bin frowned.

"That's right, now that I'm in Nanjing, how did I forget, you'd better let Master Lian teach him a good lesson, Master Lian is also his teacher." Pomegranate suddenly thought of this, and her face was happy.
