I slept until dawn. Although there was a fight in the middle of the night last night, Xiao Ding slept soundly in the second half of the night.

After getting up and freshening up, Liu San came to Xiao Ding's room and asked, "General, we should be on the road today, right?" ”

"Not yet, I need to wait until tomorrow when I go to the palace to attend the wedding of the little prince." Xiao Ding replied.

"Ah, that's going to be a two-day delay." Liu San said.

"Yes, but there is no way, Old Prince Song personally invited me in person, I can't refuse." Xiao Ding said helplessly.

"It doesn't hurt for you to have a lot of contact with Old Prince Song, so if you leave two days late, you can leave two days late." Liu San comforted Xiao Ding.

"Liu San, you don't know, in fact, I prefer to retreat to the countryside, and I don't want to mix in officialdom for a long time." Xiao Ding said,

Xin said that Liu San was an ordinary person living at the bottom of the society after all, and in the eyes of these people, it would be the best fate to be an official. How could they know that in this era, the factional struggle between bureaucrats is the most dangerous thing, and if the officials are on the wrong side, they will lose their heads if they don't get it right.

"It's still a general, you can think about it, if I am replaced, I will definitely be willing to become an official." Liu San smiled and touched his head and said.

"Okay, okay, you go down and call Jiang first, let's go downstairs and have breakfast together." Xiao Ding commanded.

Remember to read a book for a second http://et

Liu San agreed, and went out first. Xiao Ding tidied up the futon on the floor before going out of the house and downstairs.

After having breakfast with Liu San and Jiang's mother and son, Xiao Ding was pondering, what should he do today?

At this time, someone from Yanzhou Royal Mansion sent an invitation to the wedding, and Xiao Ding took the invitation and rewarded the person who sent the post. Let him bring a message to Song Yuanfang, and he will be there tomorrow.

Not long after sending off the people of the palace, the governor of the state government sent someone to send an invitation, and Zheng Ji will also invite guests to marry tomorrow, so naturally he will also invite relatives, friends, and celebrities.

In Yanzhou City, Zheng Ji can also be regarded as a figure with a head and a face, and marrying a daughter naturally has to be glorious.

Xiao Ding took the invitation, also rewarded the sender, and asked him to tell Zheng Zhizhou that he would arrive tomorrow.

Sending away the messenger, Xiao Ding thought to himself, it seems that he has to prepare two more congratulatory gifts.

Tomorrow, I will go to the Zhizhou Mansion first, and then go to the Wangfu, and both sides will be present.

Fortunately, in this era, when marrying, the wedding is usually greeted at dusk. Therefore, the origin of the word marriage in ancient times is related to dusk. At dusk, the bride was greeted over, and after worshipping heaven and earth, she was sent directly to the cave room, just when it was dark.

Therefore, the party who marries usually holds a banquet during the day, and the party who marries holds a banquet in the evening.

In this way, it is also timely for Xiaoding to go to the wedding banquet of the two families in one day.

As for the congratulatory gift to be given tomorrow, Xiao Ding was a little worried. King Mu gave him a lot of jade, but he didn't bring back much, and he had already given a piece of fine jade to the Zhizhou Mansion and the Yanzhou Palace. Now the few things that are left are either unavailable or not suitable as wedding gifts.

For example, there is a jade pear bigger than a fist in his jade, which is exquisite, warm and refined, and there is not a trace of impurities in sight. In terms of quality, it is definitely the top grade in jade. But as a wedding gift, it's not quite suitable. Pears have the same sound as separation, people just got married, you give people pears, do you want to separate people's families!

In this day and age, people pay special attention to these. Not only at weddings, but even during the New Year's holidays, there are many taboo words that are not allowed to be said.

So Xiao Ding decided that he should use today's free time to go around the street and buy two things. Anyway, it's okay to be idle today.

Since he decided to go out shopping, Xiao Ding didn't hesitate, called Liu San and Jiang's mother and son, and went out in the car.

Considering that the gifts to be bought would be more expensive, and the silver tickets on his own might not be enough, he brought those jade artifacts with him. I thought to myself, this jade can also be worth a lot of silver, and it is also possible to exchange jade for gifts.

Several people rushed to the car and directly found the largest jewelry building in Yanzhou City, named Wanbao Building. After entering, I saw that there were jewels inside, dazzling, all kinds of jewelry, jade, jade, and gemstones, countless, and it really deserved to be called "Wanbaolou"! The number of treasures in this is said to be tens of thousands, which is indeed not an exaggeration.

The guys in Wanbaolou were very polite to Xiao Ding and the others. Xindi introduced all kinds of jewelry and jade to Xiao Ding. Xiao Ding chose and chosen, and chose a pair of jade mandarin ducks and a pair of jade peacock cups.

Mandarin ducks and peacocks are both birds that symbolize marriage. Since ancient times, there have been poems about "Mandarin ducks and amphibious butterflies flying", which shows the loyalty of mandarin ducks. The two peacock cups are also exquisitely designed and can be combined together, and the cups are homophonic for a lifetime. The two cups are combined to symbolize the two people being together for a lifetime.

Xiao Ding was very surprised to find these two pieces of jade. However, the price is also very pleasantly surprised.

Two pieces of jade, each of which cost more than a thousand taels of silver.

Xiao Ding was already ready to pay for the money, so he negotiated with his buddy again to see if he could sell the jade he brought to Wanbaolou.

The guy didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he found the shopkeeper of Wanbaolou.

In this era, some of the shopkeepers were made by the boss himself, and some were specially hired by the boss to help manage the store.

The shopkeeper of Wanbao Building is hired by the boss, not the owner of the jewelry building.

After some negotiation, Xiao Ding exchanged the four pieces of jade he brought for two pieces of jade in Wanbaolou.

Xiao Ding knew that he might lose a little, but he didn't have to pay out of his own pocket, he was still very satisfied. It's all a giveaway anyway. Even if you don't exchange these two jades, you still have to give those four jade objects as gifts. Now I have exchanged these four kinds of jade that are not suitable for weddings for two suitable ones, and I feel very satisfied.

Only Liu San pouted silently on the side, looking unhappy. After leaving the gate of Wanbaolou, Liu San was still muttering: "This shopkeeper is really black-hearted, the four kinds of jade of the general, how to say, are worth three or four thousand taels of silver, but as a result, only the jade worth more than two thousand taels of silver was exchanged, which is too cost-effective!" ”

Xiao Ding felt amused when he saw Liu San's appearance, so he comforted: "People and merchants also want to make some money, we can't leave no room for business." Moreover, I bought this anyway to give gifts, for me, there is no difference between giving these two kinds of jade and giving those four kinds of jade, but buying these two kinds of jade, the meaning will be more appropriate. ”

"Since the general doesn't feel a loss, then so be it, it's already been replaced anyway." Liu San still looked unhappy.

"Okay, okay, don't think about it, how about I treat you to a big dinner at noon?" Xiao Ding said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I like Uncle Tian to invite us to a big dinner!" Jiang's son Tie Dan heard that Xiao Ding wanted to eat something delicious, and he couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Alright, let's go to dinner now!" Xiao Ding said and touched the little brain of the iron egg.

A few people went to a larger restaurant nearby, ordered a table of good food, asked for a pot of good wine, and then started eating.

Xiao Ding thought while eating, I don't know if there will be any accidents at tomorrow's wedding? Will Bai Junfei go to the wedding tomorrow to make trouble?
