Chapter 81: The Lion Roars in Hedong
Gao felt that it was difficult, and she couldn't decide on her own, so she asked Pan Feng to invite her husband Pan Jing over.
Pan Jing was also a little embarrassed after hearing this, and finally he said: "That's it, I'll discuss it with my fourth brother Pan Yi, his wife Princess Rouhui Emperor Ji of Xu Kingdom is the younger sister of today's son, and it would be appropriate if the royal family could come forward." β
Pan Yi was left behind in Xijing, and his family was in Luoyang, Xijing, and he generally did not return to the capital, so he was not invited back to the Pan family's night banquet this time.
Gao Shi asked puzzledly: "Isn't it just to find someone to be a matchmaker, you don't need such a big battle." Liu Zhenglong is just a six-rank official, so it's okay to find an important minister in the court. β
"Confused, this is a matter of my daughter's happiness in her life, if it doesn't affect the direction of the Pan family in the next few decades, how can you just find someone."
Probably realizing that his tone was a bit heavy, Pan Jing hurriedly explained: "According to folk customs, first of all, it should be among the elders of the Liu family to choose a person with high morality, but Liu Zhenglong seems to have appeared out of thin air, and there are no relatives at all, and secondly, he should choose his boss, but this guy has not really entered the officialdom in the strict sense, so he has no boss." It is not advisable to choose his teacher, the old man Zhou Bangyan said that he would accept Liu Zhenglong as a disciple, but he is already a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, how can he be someone else's disciple. β
Speaking of this, Gao Shi understood, and she said softly: "You mean the official family gives marriage?" β
"That's pretty much what it means, of course, the official family appointed that important minister as a matchmaker, and it is not an insult to the lintel of my Pan family." The head of a meritorious family like Pan Jing regards face as more important than life, and if the married concubine does not get due respect, then what is the face of the Pan family.
Although Liu Zhenglong is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, after all, he is only a six-rank official, and it is unlikely that the official family will give him a marriage, but it is possible to designate an important minister, which can be regarded as an explanation to the Pan family.
The next step is the dowry, this is Pan Jing's biggest headache, if he marries an ordinary family, even if he is the son of an official eunuch, with the financial resources of the Pan family, status is not a problem. The key is that Liu Zhenglong is too rich, if the dowry is too heavy, it is indeed difficult to equal the dowry.
The dowry determines the status and financial power of a woman after she arrives at her in-law's house, which is a normal thing in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not news that many families go bankrupt after marrying their daughters.
Gao saw that her husband was embarrassed, so she smiled and said, "Our family has enough wealth to deal with, what are you worried about?" β
Pan Jing didn't talk to his wife about this question, this matter has to be discussed with a few younger brothers, after all, this is not an ordinary married daughter, to put it bluntly, if Liu Zhenglong is tied to the big ship of the Pan family, it will definitely not be sloppy.
Liu Zhenglong didn't know that the Pan family had such a headache, he just knew that he was going to marry the daughter of the Pan family after the royal banquet in Jinmingchi, as for what the situation was, it was really unclear that the only thing that could be determined was to buy a mansion, after all, he was going to marry the daughter of the Pan family, and he couldn't be sloppy.
Buying a mansion is not a simple matter for Liu Zhenglong, this guy doesn't know anything about the market in the capital, and he can only beg Liu Mingjun for help in the end.
Liu Mingjun has also been worried about his sister Liu Ruyan's affairs recently, and when he saw Liu Zhenglong coming, this guy said with a wry smile: "I don't know where you handed over the peach blossom luck, there will be so many beauties pestering you." Even my sister is going to join in. β
"Cut, everyone is a brother, your sister is my sister, don't talk nonsense." Liu Zhenglong is the sister of Liu Mingjun who has heard of Liu Ruyan, is the only woman in the Liu family who has practiced martial arts and is famous, it is said that the combat effectiveness is not under the high favor, of course, it is just a legend, but it is enough to prove that this girl is not easy to mess with, and I don't know what it looks like to marry back, you must know that the historical allusion of the Hedong lion's roar in history is from the Liu family.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, what did you come to me for today?"
Liu Zhenglong shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I want to buy a house, you know that although there is an official house given by the official family, but you still have to buy a house when you get married, I don't know anything about this, so I came to ask your brother." β
"Buy a fart, I'll give you a hundred-acre mansion."
"Cut, 100 acres is too small, I want a 500-acre mansion the size of the Pan family."
Liu Mingjun shook his head, he said speechlessly: "In the capital, the size of the house is related to the identity, you are a small six-rank official in the capital, it stands to reason that there should not be an official house, of course, there are requirements for private houses, so the fifty acres of mansion given to you by the official family is just right." Now you are going to get married, marry the daughter of a wealthy family, 100 acres is good, no matter how big it is, you will be impeached by the imperial history. β
If you have money, you can't buy a mansion, which makes Liu Zhenglong very depressed, and he said speechlessly: "If it's a hundred acres, I'd rather not buy it, or find an extra way." β
"If you don't want to be outside the city, it's not that restrictive, and it's cheap outside the city." Liu Mingjun's family is running this business, of course, he knows everything about it, he said with a smile: "There is a five-hundred-acre mansion outside the Water Gate, of course, I have no problem giving it to you." β
"I'd better pay for it myself. Then it's decided, I won't watch it anymore, you hurry up and get it done, don't delay my business. β
Money is just a symbol for Liu Zhenglong, of course, he rejected Liu Mingjun's kindness, not because of money, but because he felt as if he owed something to the Liu family.
Just as Liu Zhenglong was about to walk out, a tall and tall beautiful woman dressed as a man walked over. is also a woman dressed as a man, this beauty is completely different from Fang Jinxin, Fang Jinxin gives people a feeling, that is, the little girl is playing, although she is dressed as a man, but the girl's breath can't be covered up at all. On the contrary, the tall and bizarre girl in front of her has a kind of heroic posture on her body, which is really handsome that fascinates women and makes men jealous.
The big beauty walked up to Liu Zhenglong, she looked each other up and down, and said with a smile: "It's better to see than to hear, but it's rare, not as evil as the legend." β
"It's impossible to talk about whether it's evil or not, but one thing is certain, that is, I will personally design a set of clothes for the girl, and you will definitely crown Bianliang City after you wear it." Although he didn't know who the beauty in front of him was who was almost catching up with him, Liu Zhenglong could clearly feel that the beauty was hostile to him, and this hostility came out of his bones and couldn't be covered up at all.
Liu Mingjun hurriedly said: "Ah Long, this is my little sister Liu Ruyan, don't look at the female streamer, her skills are definitely not below you, of course, you can also understand that a good man does not fight with a woman, so if you can't beat her, you won't feel ashamed." β
Giving birth to a son like Liu Mingjun, this guy said a little bit of his sister with one mouth, maybe only when this man and woman fight together, can a wonderful story happen. Liu Mingjun knows what his grandfather thinks, and he also knows that if his sister wants to successfully get together with Liu Zhenglong, it can only be like this, in other aspects, to be honest, he really can't think of any point that his sister can attract Liu Zhenglong, after all, the word beauty is not enough, in the capital, it is a beautiful woman, and being beautiful is nothing.
Liu Zhenglong hurriedly smiled and said: "It turned out to be a little sister, another day, my brother will give you a night pearl of the East China Sea, which is guaranteed to make you love it." β
Liu Ruyan was really surprised, what kind of demon is this guy in front of him, he can make women's products such as clotted fat, charming incense, jade snow condensation, moon shadow white that men like, Wan Yan in the same cup, and will also make a mirror that the official family likes, not only that, but also civil and military all-rounders, of course, these are all in the past, and the whole capital knows it. It's incredible to say that you want to design your own clothes.
For a long time, Liu Ruyan, who was arrogant like a peacock, suddenly felt that he had nothing to be proud of in front of Liu Zhenglong, a demon.
In the end, after being reminded by his brother Liu Mingjun, Liu Ruyan still regained his original pride, that is, his kung fu has reached the realm of superbness, whether it is horse combat or foot combat, or even arranging troops, it is superb.
Liu Ruyan heard that the other party gave her a night pearl, so she said with a smile: "Since you are so generous, then I will give you a chance to accompany Miss Ben out shopping." β
couldn't help but break up, Liu Ruyan took Liu Zhenglong's arm and walked out, while walking, the big beauty also asked: "How about going to Pan Mansion on a blind date yesterday, did you fall in love with Pan Yun or Pan Jin?" β
"Why do you want to do it?" Liu Zhenglong seems to be a little unbearable for this Liu Ruyan's enthusiasm, but he will never refuse a beautiful woman, of course, he is willing to act as a flower messenger to accompany this big beauty to go shopping.
Liu Ruyan obviously didn't eat that, she said with a smile: "I think it's still Pan Jin, he looks good, he is young, you men like to eat tender grass, and I guess you are no exception." β
"I'm only twenty-seven, okay?" Liu Zhenglong shook his head and said: "Sister, you are wrong, my brother really doesn't like Pan Jin, it's too small, my brother likes the big one." β
Seeing Liu Zhenglong's fascinated gaze sweeping across his chest, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but secretly curse a hooligan.
The eldest lady of the Liu family has an ox cart when she goes out, this is Liu Ruyan's own exclusive carriage, which is extremely rare among wealthy families, not that other celebrities can't have an exclusive ox cart, the key is that most of them are not tiger doors on weekdays, and they can't use the ox cart at all, as for the carriage, then don't think about it, Liu Ruyan is in Bianliang City, it can be said that the scorpion is the only one.
Carriages are popular among the wealthy families in the capital, but the younger generation is basically exclusive to ox carts, and there are only a handful of carriages, the key is that the Great Song Dynasty lacks horses. The reason why Liu Ruyan owns the carriage is not from the Liu family, but from other people's hands.
