Chapter 3, Fang Wen and Fang Wan

Three days later, Zhang Hao was dragged by the Zheng family to Fang's mansion as a guest, and his father Zhang Zhen also went with him.

I have to say that the high status of women in the Han Dynasty is also a major feature. Women can take the initiative to divorce from their husbands, widows can remarry, the daughters of the clan can also inherit property, and there are no longer a few women who are feudal kings and marquises, and even the male owner dies, the hostess can change the name on the household registration to her own and become the head of the family, the most famous is the Empress Dowager Lu, who is the ultimate in women's status (of course, Wu Zetian is more ruthless, but there is only one Wu Zetian). Therefore, it makes sense to say that all countries are destroyed by weakness, and the only Han is destroyed by strength, after all, women are so strong. Zhang Zhen is afraid of his wife, Zhang Hao has already learned it three days ago, and now he is used to it.

"I hope that girl named Fang Wan won't be so tough." Zhang Hao thought to himself.

When they arrived at the gate of the Fang Mansion, Fang Chong, the head of the Fang family, was already waiting at the door with his family, and the servants had already gone to inform Zhang Hao of the news of their departure. The two mansions in Jixian County are not far away, less than two hundred steps.

The heads of both families and their family members gave their own gifts.

"Brother Boweixian, I haven't seen you for many days, how are you doing lately?" Fang Chong said.

"Thank you, Brother Ziyang." Zhang Zhen said.

"Come, you and I will go into the house."

"Brother Ziyang, please."

Zheng also greeted her mother-in-law Cheng on the side, and walked into the mansion behind the two family heads, followed by Zhang Hao. The two families are both well-known scholars in Jixian County, and they move around a lot on weekdays, and there are marriages between the clansmen, but they used to deal with the elders, but the young people of the younger generation did not interact much.

"Below is Fang Wan's brother, Fang Zhu, the word Xiuwen." A man who was about the same age as himself and dressed as a scholar walked up to Zhang Hao and saluted him.

"In Xia Zhang Hao, the word Mingde, I have seen Brother Xiuwen." Zhang Hao replied.

"I'm a year older than you, you can just call me brother, you and I will be a family in the future, don't see each other, hahahaha."

"Isn't it undecided, hehehe."

"The parents have already discussed this matter, and today is just for you to meet my sister, so you are now my brother-in-law."

This Zhang Hao didn't know how to pick it up, and reluctantly said "I've seen my brother" from his mouth.

"Hahaha, good brother-in-law, you and I must not get drunk today." As he spoke, he pulled Zhang Hao into the Fang Mansion with his shoulders on his back, completely ignoring the appearance that a scholar should have.

……

In the Fang Mansion, a banquet specially to welcome the Zhang family is being held, in addition to the Fang family, the four fathers and sons of the Zhang family, and several children of the Fang family are also accompanied. The ladies and dependents ate in the inner house.

After pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Fang Chong put down the cup in his hand and said to Zhang Hao, "The last time the old man saw Mingde's nephew was five years ago. ”

"The adults are too famous, and the younger generations dare not be ashamed." Zhang Hao said.

Zhang Zhen also interjected in a timely manner, "The old man sees that Xiu Wenxian's nephew is also good-looking and talented. ”

"Hmph, this rebel is idle all day long, not doing his job, not studying poetry and books, he knows that reading some strange books is really in vain for me to pick up words and repair texts." That being said, Fang Chong was still very happy to hear others praise his son.

"It's still Mingde, both moral and moral, and I'm going to Fang County to take office soon, and I'm going to rise to the top in the future."

"Hey, Xiuwen cultivates self-cultivation, he may be another Ji Changgong one day."

Ma Rong, Ma Jichang, is one of the famous Confucians of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his ancestor is one of the founding heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Ma Rong is erudite and knowledgeable, because he has been writing in Dongguan for a long time, so that he can synthesize the learning of various schools and pay attention to ancient classics. There are thousands of disciples under him, the world-famous Confucian Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan are all his disciples, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan are his disciples. Although it has been more than ten years since the old gentleman died, he is still respected by the world.

Zhang Hao and Fang Zhu listened to their fathers blowing each other in business, their faces were a little unbearable, and the two old men praised each other, completely ignoring the feelings of the young people present.

Fang Zhu couldn't help it, got up and said, "Father, now that you are full of wine and food, my son wants to take Brother Mingde around." ”

Zhang Hao also got up and said, "That's what the kid means." ”

"Okay, you can take Mingde around, and you will have to walk back and forth in the future."

"Yes, yes, it's good for young people to get along more."

"Come on, come on, Brother Xian will drink with me again."

"I respect my son and brother."

……

"Whew," Fang Zhu exhaled out as he walked out of the living room, feeling much more comfortable, "This old man's conversation really makes me uncomfortable, and I get goosebumps all over the place." ”

Zhang Hao nodded in agreement and said, "Brother, where are we going next?" ”

Fang Zhu laughed, "Let's go, I'll take you to see my sister." ”

Following Fang Zhu's left turn and right, Zhang Hao came to the inner mansion where the female dependents were located, and saw four women sitting in the courtyard chatting, laughing pleasantly from time to time. In addition to the Zheng family and the Cheng family, the other two, according to Fang Zhu's introduction, are his wife Ren and Fang Wan, who is going to marry him.

The first time Zhang Hao saw Fang Wan, he was attracted by the girl's appearance, ice muscles and jade bones, smiling and beautiful, dignified and beautiful, not the best in the world, but also a beauty like no other.

"Hey, look silly, aren't you stunned by my sister's appearance?" Fang Zhu looked at Zhang Hao with a wicked smile.

"Ahem, uh-huh, Ling Mei is indeed a rare beauty." Zhang Hao said with some embarrassment.

"That is, it is your blessing to be able to marry my sister." Fang Zhu said proudly.

"What are you two doing in that?" A majestic female voice came into the ears of the two, and it was Cheng who saw the two.

"Boy, meet your mother, uncle." Fang Zhu saluted first.

Zhang Hao also hurriedly stood up, "The kid meets his mother, aunt." ”

"Why did you two men come to the inner mansion, what kind of system did you become, why don't you let me out quickly." Cheng shouted at the two.

"Yes, yes, let's go." After speaking, Fang Zhu pulled Zhang Hao and ran out, and when he left, Zhang Hao found that Fang Hao looked at him again, but quickly lowered his head.

"Whisk, this is what my mother mentioned to you, your uncle's son Zhang Hao, you see that he is indeed a talent." Cheng said to his daughter with a smile.

Fang Wan buried her head in her chest, blushed shyly, and said in a soft voice, "Zhang Gongzi is indeed gentle and elegant, and his appearance is dignified. ”

"Hahaha, even the crossbow agreed, it seems that you and my sister will be in-laws in the future." Zheng said happily. Hearing this, Fang Wan's head lowered.

"Then let's choose an auspicious day for the zodiac and arrange the marriage of the two." Cheng also nodded with a smile and said.

Then the two exchanged tokens for their respective children, Zheng gave a jade pendant, and Cheng took out a sachet. After exchanging tokens, this family affair is decided.

Although the current Han dynasty has not yet entered that period of war, the society is already in turmoil. According to the traditional etiquette, the wedding process has to go through the process of acceptance, asking for names, najib, recruitment, invitation, and greeting, which is called the "six rites". But now because of the actual situation, everything is simple, and now the two families have finished marrying, and then they only need to set an auspicious day to welcome the bride.

……

Zhang Hao and Fang Zhu were walking on the street, trying to find a place to eat, but Fang Cai's banquet was toasted, but they didn't eat much. Zhang Hao asked, "Brother, where are we going?" ”

Fang Zhu smiled mysteriously, "Hehe, go to a good place." After speaking, no matter how Zhang Hao asked, Fang Zhu still refused to say where to go. As a result, as soon as he arrived at the place, Zhang Hao looked at the women who were soliciting customers in front of the door, the flowers and branches were trembling, and the three big characters of "Spring Night Pavilion", where could he not guess where this was.

Zhang Hao, who has been a man for two lifetimes, has never been to this kind of place, and said a little nervously, "Brother, let's go, this place is insulting." As he spoke, he turned around and wanted to leave, but was pulled by Fang Zhu.

"Hey, what is this kind of brother, the saints have said it, and the appetite is also sexual, how can it be insulting." Fang Zhu looked like he took it for granted.

"Brother, you are also a family person, presumably my marriage with Sister Ling has also been decided, let's not come to this place." Zhang Hao pleaded, the profound concept of body and mind made it difficult for him to come out and fool around when he was already about to get married.

"Brother Xian, you are so scared, it can't be that you have never been here, after all, you are also a native of Jixian County." Fang Zhu looked at Zhang Hao with some disdain.

"My generation of scholars should follow the teachings of the saints, self-denial, and study poetry and books, and I don't have time to come here to live happily." Zhang Hao said stiffly.

"Then you should see it even more today, and tell you for my brother that in life, you should be happy in time. You've been here today, and it's a big white thing. Without saying anything, Fang Zhu forcibly pulled Zhang Hao into the Spring Festival Pavilion.

As soon as he entered, the bustard surrounded him with a group of girls.

"Yo, isn't this Fang Gongzi? It's been a long time since you've been here, and today you brought such a handsome son, so restrained, it's not the first time you've come. We have all kinds of girls in the Spring Festival Pavilion, and you are satisfied. The old bustard greeted Fang Zhu warmly, it seems that this guy is really a regular customer.

"Erniang, my brother is indeed the first time to come back, and I will arrange the best two for my brother." As he spoke, he took out a golden cake from his bosom and put it in the hands of this old bustard named Erniang.

As soon as Erniang's hand flipped, the golden cake was gone. Said happily, "You can please, quickly arrange a private room for the two sons, and call Chunzhu, Xia Lan, Qiu Ju, and Dongmei to come over and receive distinguished guests." ”

In the end, Zhang Hao still followed Fang Zhu into the private room.
