CHAPTER XXXIV
Murong Xu Xian: "This reading and writing, can cultivate sentiment, calm and nourish qi, Yue Buqun is a gentleman's sword, and he must be extremely respectful of this way, who expected that there were two unscrupulous disciples, so that he could not be guaranteed in his later years and became a laughing stock in the rivers and lakes." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I see that Lu Dayou and Ling Hu Chong are two brothers, and I am afraid that I will suffer when I go back this time. ”
Murong Fu: "The Huashan faction is unknown, that's their business." However, the Huashan faction mobilized the people, and searched for treasure for several months without finding anything, in my opinion, I am afraid that this news is false or not true, and many people in the rivers and lakes also think so. ”
Murong Xu Xian hurriedly shouted, "This news must be true or false!"
Seeing this, Murong Fu asked, "Why is my brother so sure?"
Murong Xu Xian: "Because I was in the Hangzhou City Inn, I saw Yuan Chengzhi, the son of Inspector Yuan!" Then, Murong Xu Xian roughly talked about the matter of his debate with Li Xihua in Hangzhou City. Murong Xu Xian: "Then Li Xihua deliberately used the method of agitation, saying that the former Ming Inspector was not, if Yuan Chengzhi was not the son of Yuan Supervisor, how could he be angry and lose his ground?"
Murong Fu: "I see, in this way, there is a good chance that this news is true." It's a pity that Inspector Yuan is all over the house, and only this one is left, but this son has achieved a little success in martial arts, but his adaptability is so unbearable. ”
Murong Xu Xian: You still said that people, I hope that when Dad stirs up trouble in the future, you won't follow Dad to help...
Murong Fu: "Haha, since the news is true or false, but this treasure is in the south of the Yangtze River, Huashan sent here to hunt for treasures, how can we just ask our Murong family? These two million taels of silver are not a small amount, and we must have the friendship of the landlord." ”
Murong Xu Xian: "Big brother, don't be impulsive, that day in the Hangzhou Inn, there are many masters, see through the truth of this news, I'm afraid there are a lot of people, my two brothers, when you plan and then act." ”
Murong Fu: "I introspect myself, and the sandpiper and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit." ”
The two brothers talked about other things in the rivers and lakes, and Murong Xu Xian had only been out for a few days, so it was mainly Murong Fu who said that Murong Xu Xian was listening to it and gaining knowledge. Gradually, when it was dawn, when it was time for breakfast, Murong Fu talked about Murong Xu Xian's family affairs again, so after breakfast together, Murong Fu led Murong Xu Xian to meet the elder of the Xiaoyao faction, Shi Qinglu.
Shi Qinglu, known as a nymphomaniac, ranks seventh among the eight friends of Hangu, is good at floristry, loves to raise flowers and plants, and is now older, but the internal strength of the free school has a miraculous effect on the face, with her forty years old, there is no wrinkle on the face, still flower and moon appearance, and add a little mature charm.
Shi Qinglu has always been conceited and beautiful, but when he saw Murong Xu Xian's appearance, he was shocked on the spot for a while, and when he came to his senses, Shi Qinglu said: "I often hear that in addition to cherishing flowers like life, I am also born beautiful like flowers. ”
Murong Xu Xianlian said that he didn't dare. Shi Qinglu stared at him closely, and said the word "good" three times in a row, and said: "I am free to send apprentices, pay attention to medicine and astrology, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, mechanical handyman, trade and planting, fighting wine and singing, ordering riddles, knowing everything, being sophisticated in everything, and being handsome and intelligent." The most important of them all, handsome. You have steamed good wine and made glass, this miscellaneous learning is unmatched, and when you say this, I am afraid that it is not much better than my master's year. Zhen'er and Abi can marry so well, so blessed. ”
Murong Xu Xian: The beauty of the skin can increase a little self-confidence, but I was born too glamorous in this life, fortunately, there were brocade clothes and a crown in ancient times, which increased a lot of masculinity; It would be better if the skin was less tanned and easier to tan a little more.
After that, Shi Qinglu gossiped for a long time, talked about some homely things, and at the beginning he also talked about Bai Suzhen and Abi's living habits and hobbies from childhood to adulthood, but later on, the more he asked Murong Xu Xian, and his questions were subtle, not only to ask what to eat, but also to accurately determine the specific amount of each food, whether it was steamed or stewed, and whether the heat was fierce or slow.
It made Murong Xu Xian feel a big headache, and he said in his heart that this Shi Qinglu must have come to seek a beauty prescription. Murong Fu on the side also saw it, snickered in his heart, found an excuse, got out of his body, and kept Murong Xu Xian and Shi Qinglu to grind slowly. Murong Xu Xian saw that he was an elder, and it was not easy to shirk, so he answered the questions like this, and the time stayed up until noon, Murong Xu Xian thought that Shi Qinglu would let him go, but he didn't expect that when this lunch time came, Shi Qinglu was about to verify what Murong Xu Xian said before, how could he let him go?
The time was almost late, and Shi Qinglu was embarrassed to delay any longer, because the wedding was about to be held, and Murong Xu Xian had to prepare, so he had no choice but to let him go.
Murong Xu Xianru was pardoned, and until this time in the room, he was waited by Shuang'er, changed into a red dress, and held the red hat of the groom's official, he still had a remnant of sin. Murong Xu Immortal Heart said: This day is harder than a month... Murong Xu Xian was thinking nonsense, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Azhu's voice came: "Second Young Master, have you changed your clothes, I'll come in after you change." ”
Murong Xu Xian: "It's changed." ”
The door creaked open, and a woman with skin as smooth as jade entered, the woman's body was thin, but her eyes were like stars, and she was smart.
Ah Zhu glanced at Murong Xu Xian when he came in, and his eyes turned to Shuang'er, smiling.
Murong Xu Xian: Only Sister Azhu would put her eyes on my face and look away at once. If there is any woman in the world who doesn't care about a man's appearance, it must be Sister Azhu, who is proficient in disguise art. I don't know what she's here for, anyway, she won't come to see us dressed up.
Ah Zhu smiled: "What a handsome groom official, sister Shuang'er is blessed today, maybe I will serve the second young master and his wife tonight, the second young master is on a whim, and he will also take you into the room and be this young grandmother." ”
Shuang'er was ashamed when she heard this, and on her snow-white and red face, the small eyebrows and small mouths were like mimosas, shaking their sides together, and finally turned their heads sideways, not daring to look at the two.
Ah Zhu's smiling face changed suddenly, and he sighed: "Second Young Master, I have bad news to tell you, but it's a pity that your face will be sad for a while." ”
Murong Xu Xian had already expected it, and said indifferently: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Ah Zhu was complex, and praised and said: "His expression is self-determined, and he is worthy of being the second young master." "Ah Zhu:" Miss Abi suddenly disappeared, and the maid who watched the door in the village did not see anyone go out, Miss Bai asked me to inform you, apologize, Miss Abi is afraid that she is hiding and running away from marriage." ”
Murong Xu Xian: "I have already agreed with Abi on this matter, it is not surprising, Zhen'er asked you to come to confess, but it shows her sincerity." ”
Ah Zhu sighed, her expression was slightly abrupt, and after a while, seeing Murong Xu Xian looking at her playfully, she couldn't help but get angry and snorted: "It turns out that you all know for a long time, the young master and the white girl have a husband and wife statue, and before they have passed the door, they have teamed up to trick me." What is the opposite of her sincerity, she also repeatedly told me to help Shuang'er dress up. ”
Murong Xu Xian said with a smile: "There is a way that is the face of a thousand people, who let Sister Azhu master this disguise technique, the kung fu on her face is unpredictable, and it is difficult for others to see your true appearance for a while, so I can't help but take a few more looks." Please also ask Sister Azhu for forgiveness, don't take it to heart. At the moment, Abi couldn't find it, so she asked Sister Azhu to use her magic hand to dress up Shuang'er slightly. ”
Ah Zhu got angry and asked, "Shuang'er is Shuang'er, you let Shuang'er pretend to be Ah Bi and let her be Ah Bi's replacement, isn't it in the name of your cherished flowers, young master?"
Murong Xu Xian hurriedly explained: "This is just an expedient measure, if Shuang'er is unwilling, I won't force it tonight..."
Ah Zhu was about to joke for a while, and Shuang'er said: "Sister Ah Zhu, there is not much time, please raise your noble hand." Shuang'er was blessed by the Murong family, and she was the second young master's roommate, and the second young master had no complaints about Shuang'er no matter what. ”
Ah Zhu stomped his feet and said hurriedly: "Alas, Shuang'er, you girl, why do you always wronged yourself like this!"
Shuang'er said: "Thank you, Sister Azhu, for your concern." But tonight, if Shuang'er can be delusional and be a young grandmother, even if she plays it, it will be a great blessing for Shuang'er. ”
Ah Zhu had no choice but to give up, looked at Murong Xu Xian's smile, became angry, and said, "What are you proud of." I'm going to dress up for Shuang'er, you go out first!" Murong Xu Xianqi said: "It's just a disguise, I can't look at it yet?" Azhu: "Who told you that it was a disguise?" Put on the hood, who knows who it is? I'm going to dress up for Shuang'er, and I'll give you a beautiful young grandmother back in a while, oops, don't look at it, it's all so big, and it's not ashamed like when I was a child." Let's go, you go out first-"
Murong Xu Xian was pushed out of the door like this, and with a "bang", the door closed, provoking the two maids waiting outside the door to snicker.
Murong Xu Xianqing coughed: "What are you two laughing at, take care of your mouths, don't miss your feet for a while, and say that you have leaked your mouth." After a while, I will be happy with sugar, money, and color, and I will not miss you. ”
The two maids hurriedly saluted and replied, "Yes, Second Young Master." ”
Murong Xu Xian saw that the two maids were no longer smiling, so he stayed outside the door and waited.
Accepting a gift, which is different from a formal marriage, is very operable, depending on the importance that the man attaches to the woman. If the man doesn't pay attention to it, then this concubine will be like a bought commodity, and the price will be written on the deed, such as the Zheng Tu that Lu Zhishen once killed, and Jin Cuilian's deed will say 3,000 yuan of false money, that is, every penny will be given;
If the man attaches importance to it, he will definitely not write about money, but about the time and year, usually a hundred years of good marriage, etc., then this book is almost written as a marriage book. And if it is valued, the ceremonial banquet used is very similar to that of the one who is being married. As recorded in "Tao'an Dream Memories": "Yangzhou people eat and drink on the body of thin horses every day, dozens of people. The concubine takes a fancy to it, and inserts it into his sideburns with a golden hairpin or hairpin, which is called "inserting a belt". After "inserting the belt", the family issued a red list, on which a number of colored satin, a number of gold flowers, a number of financial gifts, a number of cloth, dipped in ink with a pen, and sent off to read. The guest approves the gift of money and satin, and if it is as it wishes, the guest returns. The return has not arrived, and the drum music and red and green sheep wine have been in its door for a long time. In a moment, the gift coins, cakes and fruits are all together, and the drum music guides them. Go to less than half a mile, and the sedan chair lanterns, cannon torches, mountain people's faces, paper candles for fruit and livestock liquor.
As for Murong Xu Xian, the importance of today's gifts is even greater than that of ordinary families marrying wives. Mo said that the maids were allowed to share the rare cakes and fruits, and even the candy and money were sent to the maids. There are also cloth ornaments, which are used as dowry gifts, Murong Xu Xian is not stingy, so that the maids can share them. If you pay a gift like this and get it a few more times, you don't have to worry about the dowry that the maids will marry in the future.
And Murong Xu Xian has only one reason for this arrangement, that is, to let the people of Quanyanziwu know that the difference between his wife and concubine is only called externally, and the law of internal unification requires that he be called a young grandmother, and he is never allowed to call the second young grandmother, the second young and the third grandmother, and so on. Like when I was a child in modern times, everyone sat in a classroom and read books, loved each other, and as a result, the test scores were ranked, and parents and teachers always talked about it, well, the jealousy of youth arose. In Murong Xu Xian's opinion, this kind of title of the second young grandmother, the second young and the third grandmother, is the same as the principle of ranking the test results, which is the source of jealousy, how can you do it if you don't cut it?
As for whether it will be confusing if they are all called young grandmothers, in Murong Xu Xian's opinion, adding the original surname of the young grandmother to the front of the young grandmother's title will not be over. Originally, Murong Fu would not allow Murong Xu Immortal to mess around like this. Marrying into the Murong family, his Murong Fu's wife should be called Murong Da Shao's grandmother, and Murong Xu Xian's wife should be called Murong Er's young grandmother, this still uses the previous surname, cough, is it still the daughter-in-law of the Murong family, what kind of system is this?
But Murong Fu thought about it, adding the woman's surname before the title was not secretly in line with the practice of the emperor's family? And now he Murong is determined to revive Dayan, and with this special title, to inspire all the women in the family, not to fight in the nest, but to contribute to the great cause of rejuvenation, and to help the virtuous, wouldn't it be better?
In fact, many of the arrangements of the Emperor's House are secretly in line with the way of trade-offs, canceling the ranking, and distinguishing by surname, which is indeed to eliminate the jealousy that may be brought about by the ranking, but just like that, whether the specific struggle will have to be further seen. As for Murong Xu Immortal himself, whether he has the desire to fight for hegemony or not, only he knows.
