Chapter 445: After Marriage

In the spirit of being conscientious and responsible for Su You's parents who died early, the old man moved to the next room to Su You's new house last night to listen to the movement, wishing that Wei'er would be able to conceive today.

The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, a few small ones are not good things, listening to the little seventh brother talking about men and women, they are all unusual curiosity, and they have followed suit.

As a result, it was quiet in the new house, and Hachiko couldn't wait to pick up the yellow wattle stick and scratch the wall, reminding the two people next door to hurry up.

In the second half of the night, everyone couldn't hold on, Hachiko was okay, and he fell asleep with his eyes closed.

The mosquitoes in the countryside were very strong, and a few small ones were bitten all over the body, and they didn't hear anything, so they had to go back in disgrace, and they applied ointment for a long time, and tossed for a long time before falling asleep.

When Hachiko saw Shi Wei, who was blushing, he knew that the two of them had become a good thing last night, and muttered in his heart: Why didn't there be any movement? Could it be some Taoist immortal method of Wei'er?

But in any case, it's good to be successful, Mei Zizi drank the bridal tea, and said: "Xiaoyou has worked too hard in the past few years, so let's relax at home this month." ”

The wedding is only halfway through now, and there are still many etiquettes waiting for us.

So Su You took Shi Wei to play in the mountains and rivers, although many industries in the village were developed by him back then, but now the people in the village are experts. Tea, dipterocarp, wine, pickles, have long been blue, and Tuzi's castration has been changed for two generations, and he has long since interjected.

The selection and breeding of improved varieties has been carried out in an orderly manner, and the fruit trees are now in the harvest period.

The pears brought back by Dali are full of branches, but they can't be eaten, but some early plums and apricots, cherries and melons can be eaten.

There are also all kinds of raspberries and wild sweet potatoes on the mountain, and there is Su oil, which is not hungry.

Three days after the wedding, the Shi family sent crown flowers, colored satin, goose eggs, with gold jars filled with oil, silver jars filled with honey, paused on the plate, sprinkled around, and sent to the Su family with various food boxes such as tea cakes, goose sheep and fruits, which is called "three dynasty gifts".

Seven dynasties after marriage, Su You took Shi Wei across the river to Shijiabao to send a door salute. Shijiabao set up a Chinese feast, entertaining neighbors and relatives, watching the new son-in-law come to the door together, and at the same time, the congratulatory gifts of the woman's relatives and friends were also sent at this time, called "Huilang Feast".

After the banquet, there was also an advocacy invited by the Shi family to send the two back to the house, and they would not stay overnight at the woman's house today.

On the ninth day, Shi Fu came with the family's kitchen class, and also brought various ingredients to hold a banquet at Su You's house, this one, called "Warm Women's Meeting".

After the warm girl meeting, Shi Wei will be taken home, the sisters and concubines will say some private words, and Lao An people will also ask if the newlywed life is harmonious, and then send Shi Wei back the next day with crown flowers, satin, and food, etc., which is called "washing hair".

In January, it was the turn of the Su family to have a feast, and the relatives and friends of the two families were present.

The congratulatory gifts from friends from all walks of life to Su You were also given on this day, called "Congratulations to the Full Moon Meeting".

At this point, the full set of wedding procedures is officially completed, which is why the marriage leave of the Song Dynasty officials for two months has to be arranged intensively.

With Su You's communication today, official rank, and those who want to give gifts and make friends, it is not a family or two, and it is the brilliance and ability to let Su You accept it.

Su You had long agreed with his literati friends and predecessors that he would not accept gifts, and at most he would accept poems and scrolls written by himself.

Wupin is popular, promoted to the official, and Han Qi has outstanding merits, and he has to give face to the upstart. So the treasury of the Su family was stuffed with calligraphy, calligraphy, painting and poetry of major celebrities, and even two months after the wedding, there were letters delivered one after another, which was simply a grand event in the cultural world.

As for Cao Yan, Gao Shilin, Liangzhejiang Qianjia, Xue Tong, Dong Fei, these guys don't care about Su You's regulations, and the gift is called a luxury.

Cao Tong obviously attached more importance to his literati identity than his relatives, and sent a congratulatory poem of his own in a regular manner, but it was a silk process, which was attached to a picture of the Yanqing of the mantis, and the pumpkin and the three-dimensional shadow perspective method used by the mantis on the picture were depicted vividly.

The Qian family is also good, a set of rosewood bookcase, chair cabinet, luodian inlay, and a set of agarwood stationery supplies.

They have been trading at sea for a long time, and some of them are precious wood, which is given in the face of the design drawings of the sea ships.

The rest is vulgar, either gold or silver.

The seventh son of the land temple knew what Su You's temperament was, and Li Lian honestly asked Juan'er to send more than a dozen sets of spare mercerized cotton underwear, more than a dozen jars of Kuizhou specialty prickly pear rice wine sent by Liu Si, a set of fine pottery tea sets sent by the bad baby, a piece of Yazhou natural greenstone sent by the dog, and a kind of antelope wool woven blanket from Qingtang sent by Xiaoqi.

Only the most valuable thing sent by Zhang San, a seven-foot-tall red coral tree, but according to him, this thing did not cost much money, it belonged to the leak picked up from the natives during the voyage, and was exchanged from Hu Shang with two pairs of floor-to-ceiling glass mirrors framed by openwork wood.

Looking at the congratulatory gifts in several rooms, Su Yuanzhen drooled and educated the breed: "See, first enter the office and become a big official, and then find a wife, which is the right way to make a fortune." ”

Among all the congratulatory gifts, the heaviest one was given by Xiao Gao Xiangye, but it was returned by Su You intact.

There is also a letter that goes back together, it's not that I don't want to accept it, but the younger brother is now a minister of Dali, I can't keep these things if you send them to me, and the last point is not all left to be handed over to the court, it is better to refuse to accept it, and I am not allowed to be tempted to make mistakes!

After the holiday, no matter how much Su You drags on, it's time to hit the road.

It was a five-day saddle horse journey to Zhengren Prefecture, but this baby still had the job of a transport envoy on his back, so he came to revisit his hometown.

Before the revisit, the Meishan type needed to be upgraded, with a metal mast that could fit larger and taller sails, and on both sides of the hull, new spring ballistas and flowering porcelain shells with a lot of charges.

After this thing was produced in Hongjiang, it was not used in Weizhou, and the ammunition prepared was basically not used because of the gasoline deflagration accident. After the imperial court knew the truth of the battle of Shuiluochuan, it hurriedly transferred the remaining earth-shaking thunder to Jingshi to test the power.

In order to keep it secret from the Tangut people, Su You transported some of the impact-excited porcelain bullets produced by Hong Jiang according to his will.

Nowadays, the river is full of no-man's land, and the boats are full of their own people, and they can test as much as they want.

While waiting for the transformation of the big ship, Su You also gave Zhang San a gift.

In fact, it is four gifts: a sextant, a star catalog, an astronomical calendar, and a chronograph hourglass, which together are called "navigation".

These things, since the telescope was made out by Su You, the Jade Bureau View has been engaged in for a whole decade.

Almost all the famous Taoist temples in southern China received the Heavenly Master's Mansion Speculum at the same time, and also received a task to record star catalogs in different regions, count the height and time of the sun, and then collect data throughout the country to produce the first star catalog and astronomical calendar with application value.

A star catalog is actually the position of the moon in the sky at any given moment, expressed by the distance of the moon from a certain star.

Si Tianjian and Yujuguan regard this as a daily astronomical observation, and through observation and calculation, the moon can be used as a pointer and the stars as a dial to accurately obtain astronomical time.

This method is called the "Heavenly Clock Method" or "Moon Method", and the method has been used again in various Taoist temples, including the Si Tianjian and even the more complex armillary spheres, but with theodolite with dials, observation and recording have become more convenient and accurate.

The accurate measurement of time was the top priority of the Great Song Dynasty Si Tianjian, and the invention of this instrument made Si Tianjian's observation work like a tiger with wings.
