Chapter 98 Matchmaker
Everyone zigzagged along the bank of the Yellow River, and Guo Li held the reins in one hand and Wan'an's waist in the other. See. Hair. Line. Middle. Wen. The net beauty is in her arms, and she is heroic. The sky and the earth are big, let me gallop.
"With such a beautiful day, why doesn't Ziyi sing a song?" The princess laughed.
Guo Li is now afraid of this princess, if she is really like Bai Susu in Chunyulou, I am afraid that the cave house will be a problem after marrying. Fortunately, Guo Li had been prepared, and from the moment Wan An got on the horse, Guo Li was thinking about what poems to use to meet the situation. There's no way, if you want to be a thin and beautiful woman, how can poetry be missing.
"Lexian Kuozhou is a water, and Shanzhou is only separated by a few mountains. The spring breeze and the south bank of the Green River, when will the bright moon shine on me. ”
This poem is adapted from Wang Anshi's poems, Guo Liping has read a lot of poetry books, and probably knows a little about poetry. The so-called Pingxuan is nothing more than a change in tone, and all poems and quatrains follow this law. Wang Anshi's "Docking the Boat in Guazhou" was changed by Guo Li by a few words and became "On the Way Back to the Tang Dynasty", without the slightest sense of disobedience.
"The spring breeze and the south bank of the Green River, when will the bright moon shine on me. Ziyi really made Qian'er intoxicated. Wan An read the poem of the lover, and his heart was moved.
"Can Qian'er get ready?" After Guo Li asked, he heard the princess mutter. A gust of spring breeze blew through the mountains, and the princess suddenly felt sore and weak, leaning on Guo Li's arms to enjoy a feeling that had never been novel. Guo Li hugged the princess from behind It felt quite wonderful, and for a while, it seemed that he had the entire Tang Dynasty.
Everyone returned to Shanzhou in the middle of the night and found Langzhong to bandage the servant bone Huaien. The arrow was taken out, and the arrow of the Tuyuhun people had barbs, and a large piece of flesh was cut out of the shoulder of the servant bone Huaien, and Mulan couldn't bear to see it. The servant bone Huai'en has rough skin and thick meat, and he did not shout from beginning to end, which is quite a bit of Guan Gong's spirit of scraping bones and healing wounds during the Three Kingdoms period.
The next day, Guo Li convened everyone to discuss in the Assassin's Mansion. Since this general came to Shanzhou, he did not disturb the people in the slightest, burned the gourd valley, and wiped out 10,000 Tuyuhun people at a very small price, and his power was greatly enhanced.
"Liu Tingshi, how is the grain and grass accumulated?"
"General, Shanzhou originally stored 50,000 stone of grain, and the lower officials collected it for several days, and the surrounding counties heard that the general had won the battle and donated one after another, and prepared 150,000 stone of grain and grass for a few days. For the remaining grain and grass, the lower official planned to donate all the family property, and ordered the state's businessman Jia Fushen to help, and the 500,000 stone set by the general was guaranteed to be completed. ”
"Donate your entire possessions? Liu Tingshi doesn't have to be like this, just donate half of it. Guo Li didn't want to bear the notoriety of coming to Shanzhou to force Thorn Shi to donate all his family property.
"The lower officials lead by example, and 500,000 stones are just around the corner." If he can donate his family property to keep his official position, Liu Tingshi is also satisfied.
"I also hope that Liu Tingshi will report to the imperial court as soon as possible, all the officials in Rong County will be martyred to do a good job in the aftermath, and the people in the city will return to the city one after another.
After Guo Li finished talking about the food problem, he looked at the soldiers.
"Two thousand guards in Lexian County are enough, and Tuyuhun will not pose a threat to Lexian in a short period of time if it suffers heavy losses. Ben Shuai went to Ganzhou and gathered people from Wuwei County, Ganzhou, and Shazhou. Shanzhou military affairs are in charge of Shanzhou generals, and attention should be paid to setting up two checkpoints to defend on the first line of sky. In the barren land of Shazhou, Ganzhou, and Wuwei County, Liu Tingshi was responsible for transporting the raised grain and grass to Ganzhou. Gao Sheji led the 10,000 elite cavalry brought from Liangzhou to escort the grain and grass raised to Ganzhou, and Li Guangbi led the Liangshan regiment to Wuwei County with Ben Shuai. ”
……
When people reach middle age, there are more worries. Chen Duwei was originally Guo Yi Duwei under General Zuo Wuwei, but after the imperial court changed the military system to the recruitment system, Chen Duwei did not continue to serve in the army, and entrusted his cousin who was the prime minister in the capital to find an errand. I heard that the third son of the Chen family made a joke in Chang'an City, and the prestige of the prime minister was greatly affected. Chen Duwei didn't expect to make a comeback, although he didn't take away his official position at home, and his rank was still there. Just what is this, the county order is also polite when he sees it. Look at 1 gross 2 lines 3 Chinese net
The seven-rank county order is comparable to the six-rank captain?
The youngest son, Chen Xuewu, is sixteen years old this year and has not been married. Recently, I don't know where I heard the news, Li Qinglian, the third lady of the Li family in Ledu, looks like a flower, and this kid begged to go to the Li family to propose marriage. It is rare for the youngest son to be tempted, and Chen Duwei is happy and sad at the same time. There's no money. You can't go to the door to propose marriage with two empty hands, right? Over the years, he has been a lieutenant in the army, and his subordinates are all men. What kind of deduction of military salaries and greed for food and grass is not something that people do. And all that money was taken and he drank with his brothers. It is more difficult to marry his son back to his daughter-in-law than to ascend to the sky, so Chen Duwei borrowed 200 taels of silver from relatives and friends. asked the famous matchmaker Zhang to come to the door to propose marriage, and wanted to come to Miss Li Jiasan's eight characters, today is a good day for Najib. According to the custom of Ledu, four large mahogany boxes were prepared, which were placed with silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, and came to propose to his son.
……
The Li Mansion is still very lively today.
Entrusted by the Chen family, Mrs. Zhang came to greet her in advance, but she didn't expect to meet a group of people who came to the door to propose marriage. Mrs. Zhang is well-informed and has never heard of a daughter and two husbands.
"Mrs. Li, what I said the day before yesterday is clear, the little son of the Chen family is sixteen years old, his father is a captain, and Mrs. also agreed at the time, why is there still someone proposing marriage today? I heard that only this third lady Yun Ying is unmarried and has not yet left the cabinet. ”
Mrs. Li is being reprimanded by Master Li.
"The affairs of the third lady should not be taken care of by the lady, who is idle if she has nothing to do."
"What are the big and small things up and down the family, which one is not my decision? Let's just talk about Guo Gongzi and Chen Gongzi, fools know that Chen Gongzi is a hundred times stronger than Guo Gongzi. One is the original big house, the other has a wife's room, Qinglian married as a concubine, which one do you say to marry? ”
"Guo Gongzi." Master Li said.
"Is the master's head squeezed by the door? What's so good about Guo Gongzi? A national character face, and the farmer in the countryside can't check much. Look at the son of the Chen family again, his eyebrows are clear, and he will have a future when he sees it. ”
"Don't get involved in this matter, Qinglian has already said hello on the day she came back, you can take care of the affairs in the house, only Qinglian's affairs must not be managed."
"I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, the lord looks at the two families outside, and the lord takes care of it." Mrs. Li went to the back house in a huff.
Guo Li was not happy.
Dare to rob Lao Tzu's wife, is it easy for Lao Tzu? For the sake of the princess, she did not hesitate to go to the prison to go to the execution ground, and almost fell to the ground and her life was not guaranteed.
Guo Li took Li Guangbi's Liangshan group around Ledu to propose marriage, and tried to keep a low profile when he came. I bought two big red boxes, which contained two silk horses prepared by Wan An in advance, and one of the gold and silver jewelry. The dignified princess of the Tang Dynasty is usually used to seeing rare things, folk things, how many of them can catch the eye?
Ledu.
Li Guangbi's Liangshan regiment was stationed outside Ledu City, and Wan Nian and Jixiang quietly slipped into the mansion, and the people in the Li Mansion thought that the third lady had been in the mansion all these days.
Guo Li, Meng Haoran, Jianhu, and Ge Shuhan came to the door to propose, but before Li Fu could speak, another group of people came to propose marriage.
Fortunately, Wan An left two pieces of silk as a bride price, otherwise it would have been a big mess today.
If Zhou Peng was there, he would have disturbed the field a long time ago, and he would have been able to let the other party safely carry the four big red boxes into the courtyard. Following Guo Li's few people, it is impossible for Meng Haoran to do such a reckless thing, and Jianhu will not care about these idle things, Ge Shuhan and Guo Li are not familiar with each other, and they are in awe of this handsome man to death. It's hard to let them do what these reckless people do.
Mrs. Zhang thinks things are easy to solve. Proposing relatives is like doing business, and the one who likes the higher price of the goods of the two families wins. In terms of age and appearance alone, Mrs. Zhang is full of confidence, which one does not compare the Guo family to the soil? Look at the two boxes that came to the door, how could Ledu Li Mansion also be a big family, so he carried two boxes to the door to propose?
"You are Guo Gongzi?"
Mrs. Zhang decided that she didn't need the Li family to speak, and she could let Guo Li leave the Li Mansion in shame.
Looking at the person who was obviously a matchmaker, Guo Li looked at Meng Haoran.
Since ancient times, soldiers to soldiers, generals to matchmakers, matchmakers to matchmakers, said in advance that Meng Haoran made a cameo appearance as a matchmaker, how can there be no matchmaker at the door. Meng Haoran also thought about simplicity, thinking that this matchmaker was extremely easy, and maybe she could get a thank you.
Why not?
Since the other party's matchmaker made a first move, Meng Haoran could only go on top. Matchmaker to matchmaker, half a catty and eight taels.
"In Xia Meng Haoran, come to the Li Mansion to propose marriage for Guo Gongzi."
"Hey, today's old slave has opened his eyes, I want to have heard of the matchmaker, but I haven't heard of the matchmaker."
Meng Haoran is full of knowledge, how could he be stumped by a little matchmaker?
"What's your last name?"
"Don't give your surname Zhang, bow Chang Zhang." Mrs. Zhang's momentum is not weak.
"Mrs. Zhang, do you know that the moon is old? Iceman? Yue Lao is responsible for the marriage in the world, I'm afraid Mrs. Zhang won't know it, right? The Book of Jin records that filial piety and honesty ordered Hu Ce to specialize in matching marriages between interested men and women, which is the earliest record of marriage media. ”
In the first round of matchmaking, Zhang was defeated.
"I'm not going to talk about that today. Chen Gongzi and Guo Gongzi are strong? Chen Gongzi is handsome and chic, and his father is a family of eunuchs of the Liupin Governor. Guo Gongzi's face is full of old bark folds, Guo Gongzi's family background must be like that. In this way, it is clear and clear that Miss Li Fusan wants to marry Chen Gongzi. Mrs. Zhang's foaming stars were about to spray on Guo Li's face.
Guo Li is so angry, what is the old bark with a pleated face?
Before Meng Haoran could speak, Mrs. Zhang spoke again.
"Marriage pays attention to six etiquette, but the son of the Chen family has received the consent of Mrs. Li, who has the son of Guo got?"
Guo Li had nothing to say, and he had indeed not gotten anyone's consent for the first time today.
"The old man allowed Guo Gongzi to come to the door to propose." Master Li spoke.
In the second combination, the two sides are evenly matched.
"I've heard for a long time that Miss Li Fusan is knowledgeable, so she must not fall in love with a parallel import, right? It's better for Master Li to come up with the question, and Guo Gongzi and this Chen Gongzi will have a competition, and it will be clear who is higher and who is lower. Meng Haoran thought that with Guo Li's talent, it would not be easy to win a little Chen Gongzi?
Guo Li's head hurts. The poems in my head are almost used, and now the bamboo shoots in the mountains are hollow.
Mrs. Zhang's color changed.
The little son of the Chen family has never been interested in poetry since he was a child, so it is absolutely impossible for Chen Gongzi to compare poetry and writing.
"Come to propose marriage today, what kind of bookbag is better than what poem?" Mrs. Zhang's words invisibly saved Guo Li.
Guo Li looked at Mrs. Zhang again and was much more pleasing to the eye than just now, and even a big black mole with hair on her cheeks was invisibly ignored.
"Why don't you recruit relatives through martial arts?" Mrs. Zhang thought her proposal was reasonable.
Master Li looked at Guo Li and then at Chen Gongzi. Recruiting relatives in martial arts? Guo Li's size alone can overwhelm Chen Gongzi. I don't know why this Princess Wan'an actually fell in love with this Lord Guo. Others don't know the details of Wan An and Guo Li, but Master Li knows it in his heart.
"What is the system of fighting, killing, and killing? Today is to propose relatives, not to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. When Duwei Chen spoke, he was already holding back the fire in his belly, seeing that the matchmaker had nothing to do.
"That's right, today is a day of great joy, and it's really inappropriate to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives. According to the old slave, it is better to compare the bride price. ”
Mrs. Zhang made a look, and someone put the Chen family's bride price and the two boxes prepared by Guo Li together. 、
Four boxes against two boxes, at a glance.
The people of the Chen family opened the lid of the box, and the box full of silk and satin gold and silver jewelry was shining brightly.
"Please also ask Guo Gongzi to open the bride price, so that the old slave can see it." The black moles on Mrs. Zhang's face have all turned bright.
When Guo Li was hesitating, Ge Shuhan stepped forward and opened the box, and there were two silk horses lying in it.
"Just this little bit of financial resources to come to the door to propose?"
"Whether the heart is sincere or not depends on whether the bride price is heavy, where is this door-to-door proposal?"
"Go back quickly, don't come out and be embarrassed."
This brother Shuhan, why do you open the box if you have nothing to do? Guo Li was speechless in shame, and even Meng Haoran pretended not to know Guo Li. As for Jianhu, as soon as this young man entered the mansion, he stood on the side, and Feng Gaoyun had no intention of getting involved.
It's a shame.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Mrs. Zhang's eyebrows fluttered and said, "Master Li, take a look, it's no better than not knowing it." ”
Master Li looked at the two silk horses in Guo Li's box intently, and said in surprise: "This is Shu brocade." ”
Mrs. Zhang thought that Master Li was deliberately partial, and casually recited something Shu Jin to cover up the embarrassing situation in the field.
"What Shu brocade, it's not the same material for making clothes?"
Although Captain Chen has been in the barracks all these years, he has some knowledge. One year, I went to the prime minister's mansion in Chang'an City to see Shu brocade, and the value of ordinary Shu brocade has not yet reached the point where ordinary people can't afford it. The most precious is the rain silk brocade, Shu brocade is divided into two kinds according to the pattern of "Lingyang public sample" and "Tang flower", only the rain silk brocade is ingenious and unique, the whole piece of Shu brocade is integrated, like the rain silk hanging in the air.
Chen Duwei took a closer look, and the two silk horses in the box turned out to be rain silk brocade.
"It is indeed Shu brocade, and it is also the most precious and rare rain silk brocade in Shu brocade." Chen Duwei confirmed.
"Even if it's Shu brocade, how much can these two pieces of silk be worth?" Seeing that Chen Duwei had spoken, Mrs. Zhang was naturally difficult to argue.
"It's worth a thousand dollars."
