The two drank a glass of wine, and Hua Mulan suddenly said: "Brother Junsheng, why do I sound so familiar with your poem, it seems that I have heard it somewhere!" ”

The smile on Zhao Junsheng's face froze, and he suddenly remembered that this poem seemed to have appeared in the Han Dynasty, and he was embarrassed!

He hurriedly said: "It turns out that you heard it, this poem was available in the Han Dynasty, and there is no way to verify who wrote it, so I read it out in a hurry just now in order to let you open the door!" ”

Hua Mulan immediately quit, and said coquettishly: "No, no, no, you can't just be so cheap, you make another song, you want to make it yourself!" Otherwise, none of us will want to sleep tonight! ”

Writing poetry, that's a difficult subject!

Zhao Junsheng thought about it and thought about it, but he also remembered two sentences: "In the sky, I wish to be a winged bird, and I am willing to be a branch on the ground!" ”

After hearing this, Mulan's beautiful eyes flashed, full of spring, and hurriedly asked, "What else?" ”

Zhao Junsheng had a bitter face: "I only have to do these two sentences!" ”

Mulan was a little disappointed, but then became very happy: "Good sentences are rare, and it is rare that you can make these two sentences!" ”

The two of them have warm veins, ears and temples grinding, blowing the lamp and sleeping peacefully, the beauty of this night cannot be said to outsiders.

If the elders are still alive, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan will never be able to sleep lazily the next day after marriage, and they have to get up early in the morning to serve tea to their parents-in-law.

On the third pole of the sun, Mulan couldn't get up, and as soon as she sat up, Zhao Junsheng hugged her from behind: "Sleep for a while!" ”

"Don't make a fuss, it's broad daylight, get up quickly, it's almost noon······"

After a long time, Zhao Junsheng let go of Mulan, and the two got up one after another to wash.

After grooming, the two came to the ancestral hall where Zhao's father's spiritual seat was placed to kowtow to the old man's spiritual seat, comforting the ancestors and asking the ancestors to bless the future generations with peace and security.

At breakfast, Mulan asked, "Does your husband have official business today?" How are you going to arrange it? ”

Zhao Junsheng drank a bowl of bird's nest and said: "I can't finish my official business every day, let's rest for two days first, let's wait at home today for the younger generations to come to serve tea, and tomorrow I will accompany you back to your mother's house to meet your mother-in-law, and then you will be busy for a while before the New Year!" ”

"That's fine!" Mulan agreed.

Not long after the two had breakfast, Wei Jing, a registered disciple, came over to serve tea accompanied by Liang Lin and others.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan sat on both sides of the coffee table facing north and south, Wei Jing stepped forward and knelt down, took a cup of tea from Liang Lian's hand and handed it to Zhao Junsheng: "Master drink tea!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Junsheng nodded, took a sip, took a red envelope and handed it to him and said: "From today on, I will accept you as a righteous son, you don't need to change your surname and name, you still use your original name, in the future, you must practice martial arts, study hard, and be a useful talent for the world and the people!" ”

"Yes, Father!" Wei Jing respectfully accepted the red envelope.

Then Wei Jing gave Mulan tea: "Mother drink tea!" ”

"Good!" Hua Mulan took the tea and drank it, put it aside and handed Wei Jing a red envelope.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Wei Jing took the red envelope and got up and retreated to the side.

Zhao Junsheng looked at it, pointed at Liang Yi and said, "Liang Yi, come here!" ”

Liang Yi was a little puzzled, but walked over anyway.

Zhao Junsheng pulled Hua Mulan to get up, and pulled Liang Lin to sit on the top and said to Liang Yi: "Our two families have a deep relationship, your father and my father were brothers in life and death, and now in our generation, the love cannot be broken, whether it is rich or poor, we must share honor and disgrace, and today the two of us will become brothers in front of my uncle!" ”

Liang Lin and Liang Yi's father and son were shocked: "How can this be done?" ”

Zhao Junsheng asked rhetorically: "How can you not do it?" Is it because my nephew is now the general of Youzhou Assassin and Zhengdong, and my uncle and Liang Yi brothers are worried that others will say that you are climbing my Zhao Junsheng? This friendship is not attained by high climbing, but forged by the blood and lives of the ancestors of the previous generation! ”

The father and son glanced at each other, and Liang Xiao sighed: "Brother Jun is benevolent and righteous, he is a person who values love and righteousness, even so, uncle and I will not be hypocritical, Yi'er, kneel down with your brother facing the outside!" ”

The two of them bowed down to heaven and earth.

Liang Lin ordered someone to bring a dagger, let the two cut their palms and drop blood into a bowl, and drink it separately, for the sake of blood alliance, each swore not to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day and month of the same year, and after the oath was completed, they worshiped each other and became brothers of the opposite sex.

Liang Yi then offered tea to Hua Mulan and called her sister-in-law, Hua Mulan took the tea with a smile and drank it, and handed Liang Yi a red envelope.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan knelt in front of Liang Lin again, called their uncle, and each made tea.

At this point, the family is happy, regardless of each other, and there is no longer a barrier between master and servant.

Early the next morning, Liang Lin heard that Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan were going back to meet their mother-in-law, so they prepared the gifts early.

Hua Xiong, who received the news, was waiting outside the mansion early, and in the past two days since Hua Mulan got married, Hua Xiong seems to have grown up a lot and is a lot more sensible.

"Brother-in-law, sister, are you here? Mother is waiting for you in the hall! Hua Xiong hugged his fist to Zhao Junsheng and said.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "My mother-in-law has been okay for the past two days, I'm worried that she will be reluctant to marry Mulan, and she will inevitably miss tea and dinner!" ”

Hua Xiong said: "I really let my brother-in-law guess it!" Please come in with me! ”

The gifts brought by Hua Xiong were taken over by Hua Xiong's family, and the three of them soon came to the hall, where Hua Mu was kneeling behind the desk and drinking tea.

"The son-in-law (daughter) meets the mother-in-law (mother)", Zhao Junsheng and his wife stepped forward to salute the flower mother.

Hua Mu wiped her tears and raised her hand: "Excuse me, sit down and drink tea!" ”

"Thank you, mother-in-law!"

Mother Hua was very worried about whether Mulan was used to living in her mother-in-law's house, and when the mother and daughter talked, Zhao Junsheng couldn't interject, so she could only sit on the side and drink tea constantly.

Hua Xiong saw that Zhao Junsheng was sitting alone and bored, so he got up and said, "Brother-in-law, my recent martial arts practice seems to have reached a bottleneck, and I want to ask you for advice, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Okay, let's go to the martial arts training ground!"

After Zhao Junsheng and Hua Xiong left, Hua Mu asked Mulan: "Junsheng didn't bully you in the past two days, right?" ”

Hua Mulan smiled and said, "Mother, it's not that you don't know Brother Junsheng, how can you bully me?" My daughter is so good! ”

"Girls are outgoing!" Hua Mu shook her head, remembered something and said to Mulan: "Now that you and Junsheng are also married, do you want to arrange an errand for Xiong'er?" If you have an errand, it's good to talk to him about a family business! ”

Hua Mulan thought for a while and said, "It's better for you to tell Brother Junsheng about this matter personally, I said that he may not agree, but you are an elder, it is impossible for him to refuse you!" ”

"Okay, for the sake of my son, the old body can only give up this old face!"

Of course, Zhao Junsheng can't not give face to his mother-in-law, but he can't be nepotistic, which is unfair to others, he first let Hua Xiong enter the pro-soldier team to be an ordinary pro-soldier, perform tasks when there is a guard mission, and practice with other pro-soldiers when there is no task.

According to Zhao Junsheng's idea, he actually wants to throw Huaxiong to the army below for training, starting from small soldiers, Huaxiong is a good material, very talented in martial arts, and very keen on military affairs, this is where Huaxiong is stronger than others, but Huaxiong's mother did not agree to let her son crawl and roll with the ordinary soldiers below, worried that he would lose his life in front of the battle if he encountered a war.

After a rare two-day break, Zhao Junsheng took Mulan to wander around the market, and passing by the meat market, he pulled Mulan and walked in.

"Lord and madam, you two see that this is a pig that has just been killed, and it is very thick! And here's the freshly slaughtered sheep and beef," a butcher beckoned to Zhao Junsheng and Mulan.

Zhao Junsheng looked at it, and asked the price of each one, and the transactions here were very chaotic, some stall owners needed customers to trade with cloth, some needed to trade with copper coins, and some people wanted to trade with gold.

"Slaughter a pig again, don't get it out of the water; Also, kill three sheep, sheep whips, sheep intestines and sheep kidneys are indispensable, and half of the beef, beef offal and beef bones are also sent to the Thorn Mansion! Zhao Junsheng asked the soldiers who followed him to give a few gold bills.

When the butcher heard that it was someone from the Assassin's Mansion, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to collect the money, "I can't help it, I can't help it, these meats should be regarded as the villain's filial piety to Lord Assassin Shi, how dare you collect money?" ”

"Let you take it, where is so much nonsense? Let me ask you, do people in the government buy things for nothing? Zhao Junsheng asked.

The butcher said, "Not really, villain······ The villain is just afraid of getting into trouble! ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "As long as it is a legitimate business, the purchase and sale must be fair, how can there be a seller who does not give money?" In the future, if an official sells something and does not give money, the businessman can go to the yamen to file a lawsuit! ”

"Thank you, sir!" The butcher is grateful.

Next, Zhao Junsheng went to the aquatic market to buy more than 200 catties of large grass carp and herring, and asked the vendors to drag them to the Thorn Mansion with a board truck.

On the way back, Mulan asked, "Husband, what are you buying so much meat and fish for?" ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Don't look at the cold weather now, but the meat and fish will not be fresh if they can't be stored for two days, and they will also be bad in a few days!" I bought these meats and fish to marinate them and store them for a longer period of time! Of course, the taste of preserved goods also has a different flavor, and you will know when you eat it in a few days! ”

Back at the Thorn Mansion, Zhao Junsheng asked his subordinates to find a large wooden plate, put the meat sent by the vendors and butchers into the wooden basin, kill the fish, and take out the internal organs.

More than 500 catties of meat and more than 200 catties of fish, Zhao Junsheng used up a total of 20 catties of coarse salt, considering that the salt purification technology of this era was too poor and not very salty, so the salt was used more.

After one day of marinating, it is filled with a water tank, and after four or five days, when the salt smell has penetrated into the meat, it is taken out and cleaned with warm water, and then it is hung in the sun with a rope.

The winter sun is very mild, basking in the sun for two days and finally getting sun, and then hang the dried bacon and bacon and some other preserved goods in a ventilated place, and cut a piece down when you want to eat, or steam or stir-fry.

That night, Zhao Junsheng cooked and bought expensive rice and dried bamboo shoots from the south from the market.

Before the rice is almost cooked, put the sliced bacon on the rice and steam it together, and then cut the dried bamboo shoots into pieces with woodworking, and then soak them with boiling water, use the bacon as the main ingredient, and use the bamboo shoots as the auxiliary materials to make a pot of hot pot, and heat it on a small charcoal stove over low heat.

When the rice is cooked, take out the slices of bacon and put them on a plate, and each of them holds a bowl of rice.

Hua Mulan snorted as she took the rice: "It's so fragrant, the special meat fragrance, and the rice fragrance!" ”

"Eat this, bacon stewed bamboo shoots!" Zhao Junsheng took a pair of chopsticks and bamboo shoots and put them in Mulan's bowl.

"It's delicious!" After taking two bites, Mulan shouted, "You go and make a table for Grandma tomorrow!" ”

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to agree with a bitter face.
