Duanmu Li, the king of Jingbei, was rewarded with a title, and his son Duanmu Xuan was also named a third-class earl, and on the sixth day of the fourth month, he was ordered to marry Situ Yan, the lord of Heyang County, immediately.

Duanmu Xuan returned victorious, and Situ Jin was also recalled to Beijing by the emperor's decree because of his outstanding political achievements. Although he has been in office for less than three years, he can be rewarded by the history of Jizhou according to his achievements. There is an umbrella sent by the people of Beiping County, and it is sealed as the blue sky in the world. Either of these is enough for Emperor Wu to seal his favor.

What's more, Emperor Wu had a loss to Duanmu Xuan, and he also returned this guilt to Situ Jin and Li Sanlang. Li Sanlang joined the army from the sixth grade, was promoted two levels in a row, and was awarded the title of the fifth rank and is still serving in the General's Mansion.

And Situ Jin was promoted three levels in a row, and was named the county guard of Zhongshan County from the fourth grade, and governed the county seat of Lunu. It is close to Youzhou, and Beiping County is still under its rule.

In the study of Situ Mansion in Beijing, Duanmu Xuan, Situ Jin and Li Sanlang were gathering together to discuss marriage, "Zhongxian, although the time on the sixth day of the fourth month is a little tighter, you know that I have been waiting for all these years, and the emperor will send me to garrison the border city of Youzhou this time, I really don't want to be separated from Yan'er!" ”

Duanmu Xuanzhen was afraid that Situ Jin would not agree, after all, the marriage was a major event, and the parents ordered the matchmaker, and there was no elder brother like a father in Situ's mansion, if Situ Jin did not agree, he had to go to the border city alone.

"Ziheng, it's not that I don't agree, but what kind of place is Youzhou, how can I bear to let Yan'er follow you to suffer!" One sentence blocked Duanmu Xuan's full stomach of words.

"Brother, I'm not afraid of hardship!" In this ancient world, when discussing marriage, the woman to be married should not come forward at all, but who is Situ Yan, she has to come from the inner courtyard. The three men didn't even think it was wrong. But after all, Yu Yu was not in agreement, and Situ would like to signal the little sister to sit down and not say much.

"Brother, Brother Xuan and Third Brother are going north this time. If I didn't have my company, it would be difficult for me to stay in the Beijing Center! "Situ Yan doesn't care about those courtesies, Youzhou is now barren, if it weren't for her, I'm afraid that Duanmu Xuan and Li Sanlang would starve.

"You! There are only others in your heart, why don't you think about yourself! Situ Jin was depressed, and the little sister was dedicated to her relatives. Never think too much about yourself.

"How can there be anyone else here, isn't it all family? I think about my family, what's wrong! Situ Yan's face was indifferent, and she would protect the people she cared about.

"That's it. I can't talk about you. But Xiang'er hasn't passed 100 days yet, you, as an aunt, must give him a 100-day banquet before leaving Beijing! "Xiang'er is the son of Situ Jin and Gongsun Yu, and is Situ Yan's nephew, who was born in February and is now just a full moon. Seeing that it is about to pass a hundred days.

"I have prepared for the 100-day banquet. But according to the emperor's temperament, he will not wait for Xiang'er to go to the border city to report after the 100-day banquet, but I am afraid that I will not be able to eat this banquet! Situ Yan knew that Situ Jin didn't want to see her suffer, thinking that it would be good to keep her for one more day.

"That's it, the woman is not staying! Your marriage is your own decision. But I have discussed with Yu'er, and half of these shops in my hands will be used as a dowry with you! ”

"Brother, I have my own shop, how can I want you. You love your sister, but you also have to think more about Xiang'er. Besides, my brother was promoted three levels in a row all of a sudden. How many people are greedy, where do you not need silver for this up and down dots! ”

"Yan'er, I understand what you said, but this is a piece of my heart with your sister-in-law, don't you even want to accept this little bit of heart?"

"I naturally accept my brother and sister-in-law's wishes, so I took away all my mother's dowry!"

"Those were originally left to you by your mother, and they can't be considered brothers!"

Seeing that Situ Yan insisted, Situ Yan had no choice but to smile and agree, but she had another plan in her heart.

"Yan'er, you said before that you didn't like ten miles of red makeup, but now that Zhongxian has been named the county guard, and the third brother has been promoted to the long history, if you insist on not talking about pomp, even if I don't care, it will still affect the reputation of Zhongxian and the third brother!" This is a fact, if you don't know, you will definitely think that it is Situ Jin and Gongsun Yu, the brother and sister-in-law, who mistreated her sister-in-law.

"Okay, as long as it doesn't violate the etiquette system, just give it away!"

"Good! Then one hundred and eight dowry! Duanmu Xuan was about to say something happily, when he saw Situ Yan waving his hand to interrupt him.

"One hundred and eight, that's not the cap, so what about my dowry?" Situ Yan is just a small county lord, although she is the same prince, she can't cross the princess after all, the princess is only one hundred and sixty-eight when she gets married, and the county lord can only have one hundred and eight at most, Duanmu Xuan's dowry is capped, so don't you have to take any of her things.

"That is, even if Ziheng is rich, but I, as a brother, can't send my little sister to marry empty-handed!"

"Xiao Wu, I also want to send it, but I know that you don't like those pearl and jade cloths, so I will send silver, all these years I have saved, all the silver, at least two boxes!" Li Sanlang also joined in the fun.

"In this way, I have the final say, Brother Xuan's dowry cannot exceed eighty-eight lifts, as for the brother's dowry, it cannot exceed ten lifts, and the third brother's cannot exceed two lifts, and I have to prepare eight lifts myself, so it is also one hundred and eight lifts!" I'm afraid that the Manwu Kingdom will not be able to find a woman like Situ Yan who asks for a dowry in front of the man.

"Yan'er, will eighty-eight lift be too little!" Duanmu Xuan still wants to fight for it again.

"It's too little, then sixty-eight lifts!" Situ Yan said with a look on his face, and I still lost the frame.

"Eighty-eight is eighty-eight, a lot, really a lot!" Duanmu Xuan's face was helpless, but he was afraid that only his Yan'er would not care about the amount of the man's dowry.

"Yan'er, you only let me prepare ten lifts for my brother, I'm afraid I won't even be able to fit my belongings!"

"Whether it's King Jing's Mansion or the Earl's Palace, can you still have a home without clothes and sleep, and my brother doesn't need to prepare those things!"

"You, how can this gift be abolished, even if you don't care, but the Jingwang Mansion will also look at it!"

"I am the one who has married, and I will listen to it. Brother just rest assured, if you want to fill the façade, my eight lifts are enough. "Who is Situ Yan, the good things in her hand, I'm afraid that the entire treasury of King Jing's Mansion may not be able to fit it.

"Hey! This marriage is so urgent, and you still insist on it. It's really not a taste in my heart for a brother! ”

"Brother, after I get married, I will go to the border city with Brother Xuan, everything here is just a passing moment. No matter how good you send, can I still carry it away by hand, it's better to be as practical as the third brother, send me some silver taels, and then go to Youzhou and buy it with silver everywhere! ”

"That's it, it's all up to you!" Situ Jin also knew that what Xiaomei said was true, and he had to discuss it with Gongsun Yu again. Let's see if I can raise more money for my little sister to press the box.

"Brother, don't bother my sister-in-law about my business anymore. My sister-in-law has just given birth, and she has not been busy with my affairs before the confinement has come out, and her body has not been raised yet! Situ Yan saw through Situ Jin's mind at a glance.

"Brother. I also followed to the border city, and in the future, I gave Xiao Wu all my money to ensure that she would not suffer! Li Sanlang's words were sincere, but Duanmu Xuan had a dark face. His own woman has to be raised by other men. Where can he stand it.

"I took the third brother's silver, but I don't want it in the future, one is that I can do business by myself, and the other is that Brother Xuan leads the double money, even if I eat the belly of the abalone ginseng wings, I can't eat him!" These words finally made Duanmu Xuan's dark face a little clearer.

"It's useless for me to ask for that silver, and I don't want to take care of the accounts, Xiao Wu can't ignore me, the third brother!" Li Sanlang didn't know what was wrong. As soon as I thought that my little sister was about to get married, I wanted to compete with Duanmu Xuan.

"Okay, I can see that. I'm not willing to die if you're tired! Situ Yan pretended to be angry, and a few men shut up.

Back in the inner courtyard, Situ Yan threw herself on the bed, "Chiyu, you said that getting married is just a change of place to live, why do you break the rules so much." I'm tired of dying of people! ”

"Miss, you are the only one who says so, you look at the young ladies to be married in Beijing, which one is not staring at the dowry of the husband's family, and you are the only one who is too much!"

"Good, good! It's all my fault, hey, I really regret it now! ”

"Miss, don't regret it, the young master has been waiting for you for all these years, and it is easy to look forward to it, if you regret running away from the marriage at this time, I am afraid that the young master will disobey the king's order and chase you back to the ends of the earth!"

"I don't have the courage to run away from marriage, this is the emperor's marriage, if I escape, even if the Jingwang Mansion doesn't care, I'm afraid the emperor won't spare me." And I have a brother, and now I have a nephew. At most, I just complained, and my heart was happy! ”

King Jing's Mansion and Situ Mansion wanted to hold a happy event, and the two mansions were naturally busy, and those who were good friends with Situ Yan and Duanmu Xuan, who couldn't come to participate, also sent congratulatory gifts early. Situ Yan is trouble-free, except for some special precious things, the general cloth, calligraphy, painting, jade jewelry are all sold and exchanged for silver.

"Yan'er, although those things are not valuable, they are all people's hearts, how can you sell them, if they reach the ears of others, it won't cause people to laugh!"

"If you don't sell it, it's hard for me to transport it away, brother, these things are useless in Youzhou. I'm going to use the money to buy more grain and grow vegetables along the way! ”

"You, fortunately, you have kept all those valuables, otherwise it would be really difficult to explain to these friends who came to say goodbye!" Situ Jin was actually worried that if this matter reached the ears of Xiaomei's mother-in-law, Princess Jing, it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Brother, don't worry, I asked the dark night to take it to other counties to sell, no one will find out, even if it does, it is all ordinary things, and it can't attract people's attention!" Situ Yan has always been cautious. Situ Jin nodded helplessly, and then returned to his yard.

"Yu'er, you have time to talk about Yan'er, where is her daughter to be married, this is obviously doing business and talking about business!"

"Huh!" Gongsun Yu held back a smile and comforted his father-in-law, "Jinlang, Yan'er, she has a plan in her heart, she is also thinking about her senior brother like this, you and I have never seen how desolate Youzhou is, but I have heard a lot of things from the third brother, how can they settle down without silver!" ”

"That's what I said, but if Yan'er reached the ears of Princess Jing like this, wouldn't it be a joke!"

"Yan'er will leave Beijing and go north in a few days, even if Princess Jing intends to make things difficult, it won't be a few days! But when I went to deliver snacks to Yan'er yesterday, I peeked at a gift list she wrote, which was a 100-day gift for Xiang'er! ”

"What's wrong with the gift list?" Situ Jin didn't understand the meaning of his wife's words.

"Yan'er gave all the shops you gave her as a dowry, not to mention, but also gave Xiang'er two shops in Beijing, not to mention that, there are no less than dozens of gold locks and silver bracelets, and even Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing has two!"

"What, Yan'er, she's really, I'll go find her!"

"Don't worry, according to Yan'er's temper, you can talk about her three-inch tongue, I'm afraid that the more you talk about it, the thicker the gift list will be!"

"What then?" Situ Jin has always felt ashamed of this sister, and now that his sister is married, not only did he not ask him for a box of dowry, but also prepared such a generous 100-day gift for his son, how can he pay off this affection.

"When Yan'er leaves, you sell all the shops and exchange them for silver, and then hand them over to the third brother, and then hand them over to Yan'er when she arrives in Youzhou, so that she can still send us back the silver when she arrives in Youzhou!"

"Yu'er, you're still smart!" Situ Jin felt that Gongsun Yu could follow his wishes everywhere, and even gave half of the entire Situ Mansion to his sister-in-law as a dowry, without hesitation, and this affection alone was already rare.

"Jinlang, since I married into Situ Mansion, how Yan'er has treated me, how can outsiders not know about me. Xiang'er was born, and she, who was an aunt, actually gave a little golden pig of pure gold, which sister-in-law can do it like Yan'er. How fortunate I am, and how can I care about that! And although Yan'er went to the border city, we will leave Beijing and rush to Jizhou soon, although it is still separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, but the love will not be light, I am afraid that her sister-in-law will treat this nephew badly! ”

"Yu'er, you have the same temperament as Yan'er, obviously you are thinking about your relatives in your heart, but you have to say the opposite, and you don't want people to be sad to hear it!"

"Don't I like this!"

"How can you not like it, I have a wife like this, how fortunate I am to be here!" The husband and wife lingered in their own courtyard, thinking that things would develop according to their own ideas, but they didn't know that Situ Yan had already expected that Situ Jin's shops were finally sold to Situ Yan, and of course they became Situ Xiang's 100-day congratulatory gift in the end.

The day before the wedding, Li Dalang and Li Erlang rushed from Fuxiang Village, and since Li Sanlang returned to Beijing, the three brothers have not chatted in detail, and they have to shush for a while.

"Little San, why don't you often send letters to your family after you have been gone all these years? Big brother is talking about you all day long, and I'm afraid that you will be hurt! Li Erlang felt a little strange when he saw the third brother, and the changes in the third brother in the past few years were not a little bit.

"Yes, junior! Are you hurt? ”

"Big brother and second brother, don't worry, I'm fine! Why didn't the little four come! ”

"It's good if you don't mention him, I'm angry at this mentions! Do you know what he's done,......! Before Li Erlang could finish speaking, Li Dalang hurriedly interrupted.

"Second child, tomorrow is the day of the five happy children, what are you talking about?"

"Big brother, what's wrong, Xiao Wu is not here at the moment, you tell me, don't wait until later for Xiao Wu to find out, I'm afraid that Xiao Wu will suffer!"

"That's it, big brother, you have protected it, and you have protected it, but what about the four little ones, they hid when something happened, and they didn't even show their figures!"

"What's the matter, Xiao Si ran away in a crime!"

"No, nothing serious!" Li Dalang was in a hurry, so he heard someone talking at the door, "Big brother, what did Li Shilang do again, tell me about it!" (To be continued.) )
