"In the rich family, there are people who use hundreds of gold as dowries, which is allowed to be in ancient times, and it is very different. After the marriage, the man's fesh is one, and the woman's fesh nine. This is a true record of the marriage of the Song Dynasty.

Even later, some people specialized in the despicable things of plotting dowry, from which you can find out how big the benefits are, the idiom of 'ten miles of red makeup' may be a little vague, and you can't see the specific things clearly, but the data of thousands of acres of fertile land is very direct.

Lu Li said to his son who didn't know anything: "So you have to think about it, your mother and I are nothing, no matter what choice you make, we will support it, but your father-in-law's family is not easy to say." ”

Lu Zifei has already told his family that the pomp can be as big as it gets, and now he doesn't know the situation of the Cai family, what do you say this is called? When I marry a daughter-in-law, I have to worry about whether the dowry in my father-in-law's family is enough.

"Mother, do you think I can go and see Mengyue secretly now, she should know the situation of her family!"

Xue Ning suddenly wondered if this son was born to him, he didn't know such simple common sense, could it be that he was stupid to read!

"There is no accident that Lord Ouyang comes back, even if your family affairs are settled, it is impossible for the Cai family to let the two of you meet before getting married, this is the rule, and besides, the Cai family is in charge of your future father-in-law, and the financial power must be in the hands of your mother-in-law, what can Mengyue know, not to mention that there is a grandmother above."

It seems that this road really doesn't work, Lu Zifei won't do this kind of thing if he wants his parents to get married and ask for half a life, he himself has this condition not to embarrass others, mainly because he didn't expect that one day he would be embarrassed because he couldn't spend more money.

After Cai Xiang sent Ouyang Xiu away, he discussed the dowry with his wife, and Ge Shi was reluctant, she had a very prejudiced idea of Lu Zifei's background from the beginning, but she couldn't help her own daughter.

"100 acres of fertile land, two shops, a box of medicinal materials, four boxes of books, not to mention the rest of the bits and pieces, such a dowry is rich enough, and there are not a few families in the capital who accompany the dowry."

Cai Xiang said: "If you really love your daughter, change the dowry again, although the Cai family is not a famous family, but it is also a family of cultivators, if you plan not to see your uncle in the future, then I have nothing to say." ”

Ge Shi heard her husband's tone, and the domineering momentum on her body weakened a lot, Cai Xiang is a clean official, and he is not corrupt and bribery, and the family's financial resources rely on his hometown in Quanzhou and some shops, many of which are still his own dowries.

"With so much, be careful that your son won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future," Ge said hatefully.

Cai Xiang said with a smile: "Doesn't he have his brother-in-law if he has no money?" I didn't say it just now because you didn't understand that if there is a good side to things, there must be a bad side, Xiaoyue's dowry is so rich, Hanzhang can lose our family, you say no. ”

Ge Shi smiled happily, how rich the Lu family is, she can hear calluses in her ears, isn't the set of gifts that Lu Zifei brought to the door last time just proof? It seems that he got into the horns of the bull, and after thinking about it, he went to his daughter to discuss the marriage.

Cai Xiang still didn't say anything to his wife, even if it was a pillow person, he heard the rumor that the emperor intended to let him serve as the prefect of Quanzhou, this news was not groundless, and the person who told him said that Lu Zifei suggested it to the emperor.

Seeing the failure of the change, Cai Xiang thought about resigning and going into hiding, and when he was making up his mind, he couldn't believe it when he heard the news, and after confirming it again and again, he knew that the person had not lied to himself, and such a son-in-law was worth more dowry.

Shangguan Wen saw that Zhao Zhen's family of three was having a good time, so he said with a smile: "What is the emperor afraid of, he doesn't know that Wangbeihou is going to get married." ”

Zhao Zhen suddenly got up and asked, "You said that kid is getting married, is the news accurate?" ”

"Exactly, today Ouyang Shangshu went to the Cai family to 'make an alliance', and the Cai family also responded."

Zhao Zhen scolded with a smile: "No wonder that kid didn't come to the palace to thank him when he won the champion, it turned out that he had a daughter-in-law and forgot about us!" ”

Empress Cao said: "Who said they didn't come, I remember that they obviously came." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Can that be the same?" He should have come alone to thank him, but that's a good thing, and I'll have to think about what to reward him. ”

Empress Cao glanced at Zhao Zhen, she didn't understand what her husband was thinking, marriage is a manifestation of political maturity for people who are in politics, Lu Zifei has never had a strong sense of belonging to the Great Song Dynasty, marriage is a good start, and the rest is the iron pestle grinding needle and water grinding kung fu.

Shangguan Wen saw that the queen was chasing her son away, and whispered to Zhao Zhen: "The night before yesterday, King Pu and Wangbeihou had a conflict in the Mingyue Tower on the sea, and finally King Pu threw off his sleeves and left. ”

"What's going on?"

Shangguan Wen said: "King Pu wants to win over Wangbeihou, Lu Hou is unwilling, King Pu wants to be strong, but the son of the king of Langya County and the boy of the Shi family are here, and King Pu did not succeed." ”

Zhao Zhen played with the object in his hand and asked absentmindedly, "Is there anything else?" ”

Shangguan Wen, who was familiar with Zhao Zhen's temper, knew that this was the point, and his next words could largely determine Lu Zifei's future position in the emperor's heart, and for a moment he had the idea of framing Lu Zifei, but he still gave up.

Shangguan Wen said truthfully: "Lu Hou refused very decisively, and he didn't give King Pu face on the spot, so that King Pu couldn't get off the stage, and finally chose to use false accusations when he was angry. ”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile like a flower: "That kid is also a character who would rather bend than bend, isn't it over if he bows his head to Zongshi?" Zongshi is older, and he knows the character of that kid and doesn't know how to let it go, I remember that there is a set of vertical arch halls, you personally send Zongshi over, let him study it well, and then go to the kid's house and tell him that he will be fined for one year. ”

Shangguan Wen is a little sad for Zhao Zongshi now, knowing that he can't do it, that is not the performance of a wise man, the general trend has gone All you can do is to Taoguang and raise obscurity, in order to make a comeback, swaggering everywhere and making enemies can only accelerate your demise.

Send a book for you to see, it is clearly beating you, it is the Confucian Bible, 'the king is the minister, the father is the son' is the object of your study, you look at the north again, it is said that it is a punishment, but in fact it is partiality, that point Lu Wang Beihou is probably too lazy to get it!

A small episode does not seem to have made waves in the capital, but the high-level officials of the court know that King Pu is finished, unless there is such a thing as the unfortunate death of King Yong, otherwise Zhao Zongshi will never have the opportunity to step out of the capital in his life.

In two days, the news of Wangbei's wedding spread in the capital, and Lu Zifei, as a party concerned, was also busy with his feet not touching the ground, arranging his home, tailoring clothes, and preparing invitations, this kind of thing can only be known to him if he has experienced it himself.

As soon as he was about to sit down and drink tea, the porter came in and said, "Master, there is an old man outside the door who says that he is your old man who wants to see him." ”

"Didn't he say what his name was or where he came from?"

"No, that's all he said."

I don't have many old people, and since I can find him, it proves that I must know him, and he won't be an enemy or something.

"Then invite him in! Take it to the parlour, where I will wait for him. ”

The person who came was not only an old acquaintance, but also the kind of friend of life and death, I saw the person who came laughing rampantly, and it was a bear hug when he came up, and Kong Wu's powerful arms almost made Lu Zifei's mouth unable to breathe.

In Lu Zifei's incessant struggle, the damned arm like an iron hoop finally left his neck, and Zhang Qi said: "Now that I have become a famous Lu Hou, I have to report if I want to enter the door, this identity is different after all." ”

Lu Zifei was also extremely happy in his heart, but he still rolled his breathless eyes and said, "I know that I am now the Hou Ye, and I don't kneel down and kowtow to say goodbye." ”

"Say that you kid is fat, you are really gasping, when you can beat me in force that day, you can ask for it casually." Zhang Qi smiled evilly.

Lu Zifei said: "Can you change the conditions, you really look up to me so much, why is it just Brother Zhang, you are alone, sister-in-law and niece?" ”

Zhang Qi said innocently: "Your niece is still young, and your sister-in-law has never seen the world, I am afraid of bringing shame, so I let them wait in the inn." ”

Lu Zifei was angry, he was very angry, and he said angrily: "Since you think that your brother is the kind of person with eyes on his head, why did you come to the door? ”

Zhang Qi was optimistic that his brother was angry, and he also knew that he was living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, so he said flatteringly: "You don't know that I'm a little person, I don't mean that, I can't say it, anyway, I don't mean that, I will bring your niece over in two days and you will give it a name, and I will admire you as a scholar." ”

Lu Zifei's face was much better, and he said with a slight displeasure: "Brother Zhang, you will always remember that I, Lu Hanzhang, will never be ungrateful, no matter what identity I am or what position I have, this will never change." ”

Zhang Qi looked at Lu Zifei's serious face and couldn't help but sigh, his unintentional move at that time brought endless benefits to his current self, and it is not possible for anyone to maintain a pure heart for three years.

'Acquaintances in other places' naturally have endless words, the banquet has not been arranged yet, and the porter came to report that Shao Yong was coming, Lu Zifei got up quickly, you can't say it if you don't go out.

"Master, Wan Lao, Wang Lao, and Liu Lao are all here." The arrival of the four old men gave Lu Zifei the greatest comfort in his soul.

Wan Ming said with a smile: "Wan Ming, a few old immortals will live on you in the future, and they will not be carried and thrown away by you while they can still move now." ”

Shao Yong's eyes were full of gratification, pride, and satisfaction, this disciple gave him too many surprises and surprises, Liu Yong said sourly: "We know that you are proud, but you can't show affection in front of you!" ”

Lu Zifei supported the eldest Wan Ming, full of confidence in his heart, he was really fearless with them, and he could face any difficulties with a smile, and he also felt that this good thing had been wave after wave recently.
