This time, Liang Lan only cared about hurrying, and no longer looked around to see the customs of Qingshui Town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSo the trip was much faster than yesterday, and it didn't take long for me to go to the fourth uncle Liang Zhengxin's house.

Most of the people of the Liang clan are learning literature, but Liang Zhengxin likes to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, and later he didn't know where he got acquainted with Jin Yutang, a giant merchant in Linqing City, and helped him act as an agent to run Qingshui's industry, and his family assets were also quite rich. So although the Liang clan knew that he was not dealing with the head of the family, Liang Zhengze, and even moved to the east of the county because of this, Liang Zhengze was helpless against him.

Several tall houses are very conspicuous along the street, the black and white brick wall stretches for a stretch, there are two majestic bluestone lions squatting at the door, and there is a large plaque with the words "Liang House" written on the vermilion gate.

It seems that the fourth uncle is really not bad for money.

Liang Lan paced to the door, looked at the fourth uncle's mansion, and then thought about the house he lived in, and couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, his house was left to him by his father Liang Zhengping, which was already good, but later his family road declined, and the house was not repaired for a long time, so it naturally did not look imposing.

knocked on the door, and the servant guarding the mansion had long recognized this regular visitor to the house, thinking that the young master was coming to ask for living expenses again. Although this young master has no strengths, the master of the mansion treats this nephew very seriously, so he doesn't dare to have any contempt on his face, and respectfully invites Liang Lan into the mansion. There was already another little guy who ran in quickly to pass the word.

Liang Lan followed the guidance of the servants and came to the east wing, which was the place where the guests were waiting.

The green and yellow wood Taishi chairs were placed in a row, Liang Lan found a seat at random and sat down, the servants had already brewed tea and put it up, and the rich fragrance of tea mixed with steaming heat penetrated into Liang Lan's nostrils, which couldn't help but make people feel refreshed.

"Good tea!"

Liang Lan took a small sip and exclaimed, although he was not good at tasting tea, he could also taste that the tea was slightly bitter in the mouth, but the fragrant aftertaste was endless, much better than the high-quality Pu'er boutique Maojian and other rausch seeds he had drunk before.

The eyes glanced around at random, and the middle hall in front of the hall was hung with the splashed ink landscape of the famous artist, and the four words "Thousand Peaks Competition" were inscribed on it. Knock on this chair, and it is all high-quality solid wood.

Fourth uncle, sure enough, it's really not bad for money!

Liang Lan sighed again in her heart, I heard that the second uncle also has a son who is not a few years younger than herself, tell me why you were so miserable in the first place, and you didn't cross over to any rich son. Although you can't yacht luxury car models a dozen, just play. Anyway, you can also take the beauty of BMW Xiangche into your arms, eat and drink with good wine and meat at will, that is the ideal happy life.

Just as he was out of his mind, Liang Lan heard a loud laugh full of energy in his ears.

"Haha, Uncle Shan is here, I heard that you made a good poem in the school yesterday, and you won the first place in the first examination of Nishan Academy, which really made my uncle's face shine!"

Liang Lan looked up when he heard the sound, he was a sturdy man, tall and burly, walking with a tiger's step, whirring with the wind. With a strong tendon and flesh, a long beard and a long beard on his face, and a fine face, he laughed and came over and patted Liang Lan's shoulder approvingly.

"I've seen my uncle," Liang Lan bowed, and then said with a smile: "Uncle is really well-informed, I really can't hide anything from you, the little nephew wanted to surprise my uncle, but I didn't expect my uncle to know about it a long time ago." ”

Liang Zhengxin looks like a bold man, but his mind is also delicate, otherwise how could he manage such a large family business outside the clan.

He looked at this nephew for a long time, and always felt that something was different. In the end, I suddenly woke up, it was the eyes!

In the past, this nephew was also handsome, but his eyebrows and eyes were always sluggish, and he looked useless. Now he still has this face, but his eyes are frank and upright, and his every move is decent, and he really has some signs of talent.

Yesterday, the gentleman who was good friends with him in the school sent someone to pass on the letter, and he said how Liang Lan did a good poem, and everyone was surprised and cooperated. Although Liang Zhengxin was happy, he had some doubts in his heart, he knew Liang Lan's talent, and it was not as amazing as the messenger described.

Is it cheating?

Seeing Liang Lan who has changed a lot again today, Liang Zhengxin is completely relieved, he patted Liang Lan on the shoulder and said happily.

"Brother Zhengping's blessing, Shanbo, you have finally opened your mind! Keep working hard and catch up with the top prize in Ming'er! ”

forehead

Liang Lan smiled on her face, her heart was full of black lines, the name of Liang Lan's stupid person before was really well known.

"With the words of the fourth uncle, Shan Boding worked hard to get a talent in this year's autumn season."

Autumn is the triennial township examination, held by the states and counties, the outstanding awarded the meritorious name, the examination time is set in August every year, now it is only the beginning of February, there is exactly half a year.

"Okay, uncle, just wait for your good news, if Uncle Shanbo has any money, just mention it!"

Liang Zhengxin replied happily, and after a while, he seemed to remember something, and asked Liang Lan: "Uncle Shan, uncle remembers that this year is the time for you to marry the girl of the Dong family, when do you plan to ask for it?" ”

"Recently, I have been preparing for the preliminary examination of Nishan Academy, and I haven't had time to go to the Dong Mansion to ask for an appointment."

"That woman Dong Zhiyi is said to be both talented and beautiful, and the Dong family is also an innocent scholarly family, Uncle Shan has to be treated well, and the elders need to come forward during the invitation, so it is better for my uncle to go to the Dong Mansion with you this month to settle this matter."

"It's all up to my uncle."

Liang Lan hurriedly agreed, he also heard that this Dong Zhiyi was beautiful, and he was very happy in his heart. Although this is sorry for the future Zhu Yingtai, this is a marriage contract made by the late father, and it cannot be shirked at all.

At that time, Liang Lan's biological father Liang Zhengping was the head of the Liang family, and Dong Mingde, the owner of the Dong family, was friendly with him. At that time, the two sides had some friendship, and it happened that the children were born one year after another, and the two families were in the head, so they set this doll parent.

Now that Liang Lan's branch is not powerful, Dong Mingde has become the master of Qing Shui, and he is not a big official in the local area.

The previous Liang Lan was bent on gaining fame and then came to the door to ask for relatives. It's stupid and stupid, so it's been delayed until now, and there is no door-to-door invitation.

In ancient times, getting married was not as easy as taking out a ring and proposing marriage now, but it required three books and six ceremonies.

The three books refer to the letter of appointment, that is, the book of engagement, and the letter of gift, that is, the list of gifts, which lists the types and quantities of gifts in detail. Finally, there is the welcome book, which is used when picking up the bride on the wedding day.

Six ceremonies, including Nacai, name greeting, Najib, Najib, greeting, and greeting.

If these rituals are not fulfilled or not fully done, they will be ridiculed by the neighbors.

Liang Lan's relatives, the two families have already set a marriage book earlier, so Liang Lan only needs to prepare gifts, go to the Dong Mansion to agree on the marriage date, and then come to the door to marry.

Liang Zhengxin was worried that Liang Lan would have no money, so he asked the servant to take out a prepared bag of silver, handed it to Liang Lan and said: "Money is needed for marriage, you can take the fifty taels of silver, buy some gifts, don't let the Dong family look down on it!" ”

Before Wu Dabao and his wife, they cried bitterly because they lost 8,000 copper coins, 50 taels are equivalent to 50,000 yuan, which can be imagined how valuable it is.

Liang Lan touched the money bag, and her face was slightly red with excitement.

Liang Zhengxin thought that Liang Lan was embarrassed to accept it, so he pushed the silver hard towards Liang Lan: "What is polite to my uncle, my uncle was taken care of by your father in the Liang family back then, and now that you are going to get married, I am naturally duty-bound." If you're really embarrassed, you should borrow it, and pay it back to me if you win the top prize. ”

Liang Lan touched the heavy silver in her arms and smiled with satisfaction.

He was roaring excitedly in his heart, uncle, I'm really not embarrassed, you can smash the little nephew to death with silver!
