Chapter 21 The good and the poor do not marry
The shyness of the green sleeves, Su Minzhi's avoidance, and Su Ruizhi, who was sitting on the side, stopped talking, and all had answers at the ancestor worship ceremony early in the morning of the first day of the first lunar month. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the morning of the first day of the new year, Song's mother, who had rested early, called a few young people energetically. When the merchant rubbed his sleepy eyes and went downstairs, he saw that Su Minzhi and Su Ruizhi, who were dressed in new clothes, were already waiting downstairs.
"Brother Rui! Toshi's brother! The merchant was a little embarrassed, blaming himself for sleeping late.
"Hmmm! After breakfast, let's go to the backyard to worship my father! Su Ruizhi looked at the girl and smiled.
This is the first time that a merchant has worshipped their ancestors with them! At this time of the year, she was on an errand in the palace, and only the two brothers could offer incense in front of their parents.
"Okay! Brother! Shang Shang nodded obediently.
There is an impermeable single room on the top of the small attic in the backyard of the kitchen road, the door has been closed for many years, and it will only be opened by Su Minzhi on the fifteenth day of the new year, and the guys in the kitchen road don't know that there is such a place.
The spiritual seat of Su Dingyuan and his wife is placed in this small room facing north and south. A pair of dark purple shrines inlaid on the wall respectfully placed two pieces of white silk spirit cards, under the spirit card under the strip case in the middle of a simple shape of the incense burner, the incense sticks burned out in the ashes are of different lengths, there is a glass lamp on both sides of several cases, faintly flashing light, the room is filled with sandalwood's unique fireworks.
When Su Ruizhi walked into this hut with Su Minzhi and Shang Shang on crutches, Shang Shang saw such a scene in front of him.
Su Ruizhi stepped forward, stretched out his hand to clean up the remaining sticks in the incense burner, and took out a few sticks of sandalwood from the handful of sandalwood placed on the side and handed them to Su Minzhi and the merchants, and he also took three sticks in his hands.
After lighting the incense in his hand, Su Ruizhi knelt down on the futon in the center, Su Minzhi was on the right, and the merchant was on the left.
"Daddy and mother are above, unfilial children Su Ruizhi (Su Minzhi) and (Su Lanxin) bow down!" Su Ruizhi took the two of them and kowtowed. As the eldest son, he must take the lead in sacrificing his parents.
"Daddy! Mother! Ruizhi and Minzhi's shop business in Chang'an is getting better and better, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and they are now favored by the prince, their parents can rest assured, Lan Xin is also very appreciated by the emperor in the palace, and they will be released from the palace in a few years, and the child will definitely find a good family for Lan Xin. Su Ruizhi's persistent incense chattered in front of his father and mother's spirit.
Looking at the two pieces in front of him engraved with the "Divine Lord of the Elder of Xianyan Sugong" and "the Divine Lord of the Old Lady of the Xianci Wu Family" respectively, the hearts of the merchants were mixed.
In fact, these two old men who have long passed away have nothing to do with the merchants who live in this body! But for some reason, an irrepressible sourness appeared in her heart! Not only for Su Lanxin, but also for herself.
Su Lanxin, obviously there are two brothers, but there is no blessing to suffer, and now her soul has long been gone! And she took the identity of Su Lanxin, sacrificing her ancestors, and offering incense and praying for her ancestors. But after a thousand years, who will serve his mother?
Holding sandalwood in his hand, the merchant gently wiped away the tears on his cheeks with one free hand, forcing himself not to think about it anymore. What's the benefit of overthinking? But if my mother sees me like this, she won't be happy, right?
Su Minzhi, who was on the side, saw the merchant wipe away his tears, stretched out his hand and patted the merchant's back gently, and handed her a comforting look.
"By the way, Ruizhi told his father and mother a good news, Minzhi has a sweetheart! It's the sister's former personal girl.,But now it's a good name.,Just wait for the future.,Minzhi's household registration will be changed to be able to marry her.,Then the father and mother will be able to see the grandson! Rui Yi said happily that he wanted to tell his father and mother about the big and small things that had happened in the past year, so that his father and mother could know that they were doing well, so that his father and mother could feel at ease.
After Rui Zhi's words were finished, the businessman who was looking at him suddenly found that Su Minzhi's face had changed, and Su Minzhi's expression, which was still comforting her, became a little gloomy, as if there was some untidied knot pressing in his heart.
Shang Shang felt a little strange in his heart, this was the second time that Su Minzhi had shown such a strange look, could it be that there was something hindering Green Sleeves and his relatives? Or is Greensleeves unwilling? But it's not like it! Yesterday, she obviously looked at Green Sleeves with a shy face, and she didn't look like she would refuse!
By the time Ruizhi had finished his long prayer and stood up, even Shang Shang felt his legs tingle a little from his knees.
The three of them stepped forward in turn to insert sandalwood into the incense burner, and bowed three more times before turning around and preparing to go out.
"I'm sorry!" Li Mo stood at the door of the hut in plain clothes, quietly looking at the merchants who had just finished worshipping their ancestors, and his voice was as cold as the morning air.
He has always disliked bright clothes, even if he wears red and purple, it is almost black, but on the contrary, he looks outstanding.
"Why?" The merchant was a little confused. He didn't do anything to be sorry for her, did he?
"Originally, the household registration problem of Brother Rui and Brother Min was about to be solved, but some time ago, because Gao Yang's line replaced the officials of the household department with a plan, the excerpt was rejected, and now it is no longer appropriate to re-apply, but I am afraid that the household registration of the two brothers will have to wait for a while."
There was palpable guilt in Li Mo's words. This time, Su Ruizhi and Su Minzhi were wronged, and they were already about to be done, as long as they handed it over to their father and used the seal, the two brothers could be mixed among the untouchables and changed their good status through the amnesty of their father's illness.
"What did Li Gongzi say, we are really grateful that you are planning for our brothers and sisters like this, if you say that it is not done, it is just the will of God, why should you blame yourself?" Su Ruizhi walked up to Li Mo on crutches, stretched out his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, the smile on his face was not shocked.
"Li Mo!"
At this time, the merchant's heart was tumbling violently like boiling water, and an indescribable taste mixed with guilt, disappointment, and joy rushed in his heart. Guilt~~ It's because I didn't think of the household registration problem of my two brothers, and I'm disappointed~~ It's because of the failure of this reassignment, and the joy ~~ It's for Li Mo's heart!
This man was always silent, as his name suggested. But what he did was always for her, and he even thought of things she ignored!
Calling his name softly, Shang Shang looked at him, unable to make a sound anymore! There is no need to say a lot of words, as long as a smile in his or her eyes, he (she) will be willing!
"Merchant!" Li Mo looked back at her, but showed a confident smile: "It doesn't matter, not this time, there is another chance, as long as this opportunity is seized, I believe that Brother Min's desire to spend candles in the cave room will not be far off!" ”
"What chance?"
There was a hint of hope in the eyes of the merchants, and he looked at the two brothers with some guilt. I have been out of nationality for a long time, but I didn't think that my brothers' household registration was still cheap, and I only felt that my brothers should have no trouble as long as they had no worries about food and clothing, but I didn't care about my brothers' feelings.
"Every year for the death sacrifice of Empress Changsun, the emperor will order an amnesty, if you can seize this opportunity, I believe that at the end of the year, Brother Min will be able to marry the green-sleeved girl." Li Mo smiled confidently.
What happened last time only changed halfway because of Gao Yang's intervention, and this time he will definitely not let the same thing happen again!
"Really?" Su Min looked at Li Mo with surprise on his face, just like a drowning man seeing driftwood. He originally thought that this matter was hopeless, but he didn't want to turn around again!
"Of course, I've already prepared the folds, and I'll report to the household department when the time comes." Li Mo smiled and nodded. The business of business is his business, how can he not care?
"There's Lao Li Gongzi." Su Ruizhi arched his hand to Li Mo.
With his experience, of course, he can see that Li Mo has undisguised intentions towards businessmen, but Li Mo's method is legitimate, and there is no private action, which makes Su Ruizhi relieved most of his heart, and he also has a very good impression of Li Mo. In any case, there is a person who is close to the prince standing behind their brother and sister, and they can take root in this Chang'an City!
"I still don't understand! What does my brother's household registration have to do with his marriage? If he wants to marry Green Sleeves, he will marry! Seeing that the two elder brothers were overjoyed at Li Mo, the merchant was still a little puzzled.
"Silly girl! Green sleeves are now a good person, my brother is a cheap person, the Tang Dynasty is a law, and the good and the cheap are not married! Su Minzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head. I really don't know if the two brothers protect their sister too well, she doesn't even know these things!
"Good and low?" The merchant was completely dumbfounded.
This law really beat her to the brim! For her, everyone is equal, and she used to want to take off her prostitute just because she didn't want to sell herself, but she never thought that there would be such a decree!
"It's not all, if this kitchen is not opened in your name, and the prince is behind it, it will never be possible with your brother's household registration alone." Li Mo looked at the merchant with surprise and disbelief on his face, and couldn't help but be surprised.
These laws are inherently secretive, and it is not surprising that a merchant woman does not know about them.
"No wonder you're in a bad mood these days, brother! Elder brother! I'm sorry, it's all Lan Xin's fault, I didn't plan for you earlier. ”
Looking at Su Minzhi's comforting smiling face, Shang Shang Yifa felt sorry for his two elder brothers. Even if she's not their own sister! But over the years, they have also cared for her from the bottom of their hearts and brought her real family affection. How could she ignore them like that?
"What stupid are you talking about? You are a girl's family, can't the brothers solve it themselves, do they have to ask you to show up? ”
Su Ruizhi pretended to be angry and taught the merchant a lesson, this girl has paid too much for them! What's more, it would not be easier for her to serve the nobles in the palace alone than they were outside. They didn't tell her that they just didn't want her to bother her anymore.
