Text Chapter 191 Matchmaker axe, weighing

Yuan Sanle nodded, "It's still Mr. Li's great kindness, my brothers are almost going to be happy, among them, Lao Liu and Fan Wu have their own goals, and Ma Jun has taken a fancy to a certain person on the second floor, but it's a pity that the place can't be easily let men in!" ”

"What about you? Don't see the right one? Li Zhi was curious, he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"A child in the mountains like me, if someone is willing to follow him, he will burn high incense, where can he dare to pick someone? Mainly wait for a few brothers to decide, and then I will think about my own affairs! ”

"Don't underestimate this layer of skin on your body! Alcohol is not allowed in the store, so I won't leave a few people here to drink, and when I get busy for a while, I will invite a few more to drink! Yuan San, you don't have to worry, how can you find the right one as soon as you come? It's good to observe for a while! Hurry up, it's not good to miss the girls' lunch! ”

A few people were in a good mood to find Donghui to have a meal, from today onwards, Zhengqing Wenqitang will provide free food inside, and Donghui also needs to stay here for a few days to bring out a few apprentices.

After lunch, Li Yixing rushed to the county king's mansion again, this time he brought a lot of ten-color notes, in the Tang Dynasty, where the literary style prevailed, there is nothing like this kind of elegant gift that has not yet been put on the market, more suitable as a meeting gift for a group of young people in the Ming Palace.

At this time, Master Feng and they also divided into several ways to return to the house, as the two Ming Wangfu county lords, it is considered to be the level of the household, the inherent dowry is one tael of gold, five taels of silver, six tables of colored satin, and forty horses of miscellaneous silk.

But at one time, two daughters are married, and the county king's mansion will definitely not be doubled according to the original customs, but with a big stroke of the pen, gold and white taels, silver thousand taels, thirty-six colored satins, and two hundred miscellaneous silks. There are also two cases of jewelry, gold and silver, pearls and emeralds, and treasures, which have been completely placed in the tradition and ignored, just to feel comfortable.

Qingqi's mother also changed the customized clothes of Zhengqing Wenqitang early, happily took Li Zhi's hand and did not let go, and a lot of aunts around her, asked him questions, and taught Mr. Li to sit on pins and needles.

Fortunately, because of Li Ling's arrival, Li Zhi was pulled out of the sea of suffering, "Why did you come here at this time?" I don't know if Li Yi is going to be busy going to the Ming Palace? ”

For Li Ling, Li Zhi has always talked casually, and the two of them don't care about polite words, "I rushed to Zhengqing Wenqitang to find you, I heard the news but came quickly, and by the way, I begged for a cup of happy wine!" ”

Of course, in order to take into account the attitude of the woman's family, the limited number of places is also planned, otherwise a lot of reckless losses may make the woman's family unhappy.

It is normal for Li Ling to participate as Li Yi's friend, and this person is from the Xuan Palace, and to a certain extent, he has the same level mark as the Ming Palace, which will only highlight the importance of the Linhuai County Palace.

But Li Zhi knew that Li Ling would definitely have other important things when he came this time, and since he was bent on following, he naturally had his own personal reasons.

Sure enough, Li Ling soon said in a low voice: "There is also my father who went to Zhengqing Wenqitang with him, and his old man is not good at participating in the junior proposal, so he specially assigned me to represent the Xuanwang Mansion and give Li Yi a faΓ§ade." ”

"Oh? Lord Xuan also went? What is the important matter for the old man to ask me for this little quilt? ”

"He just returned from the palace, and I heard that you will be recruited into the palace tomorrow, and there is a specific solution to Shang Fangjian's matter! I said Mr. Li, the little ancestor of the text, you also hide such a big thing from your brother, but I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart! ”

Li Zhile was happy, "You think I don't want to show off?" It's not that someone has advised me, and before there is no real means of public announcement, the important thing is to keep this sword secret! ”

"Now that the plan has been released, use the gunpowder recipe you dedicated. Of course, there is also the contribution of rice paper, as well as the long-term economic core plan of Chang'an City formulated with you as the center. There is another reward for the first place in the poetry conference, but it has nothing to do with Shang Fangjian. The reason why I put you at the top of the future planning of Chang'an City is because you can't hide your role in it for a long time, and sooner or later someone will associate your sudden rise in business with the economic circle of Chang'an City. In this case, it is better to solemnly launch you in a grand manner, and place a Shang Fang sword to be used to disobey the plan of a certain force or alliance of interests in the city. And your sword does not exercise authority alone, but has to cooperate with the results of the deliberations of all parties in the Eight Princes' Mansion, and kill those who disobey the plan as forcefully as the king's majesty! ”

"Eight Princes' Mansion? At present, not only the first line of the Ten Wangze Palaces has been dumped, but the Second Wangshao Palaces are also about to be started? ”

Li Ling nodded, "At 0:00 yesterday evening, except for King Shao who was exiled to the Western Frontier, the three generations of eldest princes Liu Song and Liu Qingchi and below were all thrown into prison, along with several core members of the Zhang family in the south of Chang'an City, waiting for the Autumn Queen to be beheaded!" ”

"What about the charges?"

"Secretly supporting the peasant uprising led by Fang Chaohai has sharpened the class contradictions again, and deliberately manipulated the grain prices of Ba Yuanzhou, and has a great responsibility for the ensuing poor harvest, floods, droughts, insect plagues and famines!"

Li Zhi pursed his lips, obviously disdainful of this kind of crime, even if he himself has always been unhappy with Shaowangfu, but he is also indifferent to throwing the crime hat indiscriminately.

Li Ling smiled, "This is the result of many researches, and there must be a correlation between them, as for how much it matters, it's not something I can understand!" ”

"It's not that I don't understand, but I'm a little disappointed in my heart, because I only have a distant view of that Shao King, and I have no actual impression, and the eldest son Liu Song and Liu Qingchi don't seem to deserve to die!"

"You can talk to me about this, but don't dare to show it a little! And this Shaowang Mansion has obviously fallen to the princess of Changping, the male pet of the martial arts Xue Huaiyi came to Chang'an City to negotiate this matter, and Dali Temple has obtained definite evidence. Compared to the Ze Palace, they have fallen more thoroughly, and they have even worked out a series of steps to seize imperial power after the death of the current saint, and the situation has become so serious that it is almost irrepressible! The eldest prince Liu Song and Liu Qingchi are one of the masterminds, on the contrary, King Shao knows nothing! ”

Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had too many unknowingly secret existences, so in this way, those people would be innocent.

"Will the public announcement of the long-term economic core plan of Chang'an City attract suspicion from Luoyang?"

"Therefore, the beneficiaries of this plan also include many forces in the military post, even if it brings hidden dangers to the future one by one, but it is also necessary to do it at present, otherwise after the new emperor ascends the throne, it will really attract a strong suppression by the military queen! In fact, from the perspective of the overall development of the Tang Dynasty, this plan will only benefit the imperial court and not harm it, and the appearance of such a plan is not abrupt at all, but more suitable for the current form and trend, and it will attract special attention if it does not attract some forces over there to join in! ”

"Presumably, there are at least five of our forces in the Eight Kings Mansion, and the other three are the ones that need to be guarded against in the future?"

"I don't understand these deeper things, and there will naturally be people who will communicate with you further in the future, and I will also be a messenger!"

"Okay, today is a festive day, let's not talk about these heavy things, tomorrow the palace will summon me as if I don't know, just eat and drink well tonight, it's normal to get drunk, no one can blame!"

"Hahaha!" The fat man Li Ling laughed, "This sentence is in line with my Li Ling's temperament!" Let's just congratulate each other wholeheartedly, and we don't know anything else! ”

When everything was ready, the group marched towards the Ming Palace, and a series of carriages and horses were discharged for a mile, and the scene was quite spectacular, attracting countless onlookers along the way.

Li Yi, who has always boasted that he is not afraid of heaven and earth, ran to Li Zhi's car and asked this and that vigorously, which did not cause Qingqi to roll his eyes, obviously his own brother was so keen on the future twins, which made his sister jealous.

And Li Yi, who has a big temperament, didn't realize his behavior at all, he only caught Li Zhi and asked endlessly, and the tip of his nose even had a layer of sweat beads because of nervousness. Seeing that her younger brother was so cautious, Qingqi gradually came to her senses, and she felt sorry in her heart.

Although Li Zhi knows everything, it is not easy to mix and do some kneading in it, and he can only tell Li Yi the relevant etiquette over and over again, but fortunately, he is close to the two families of the Ming Palace, and he also knows that as long as Li Yi enters the house, he will adapt very quickly.

In addition to Li Yi, the most nervous thing is Feng Changlu Feng Master, and he has to lead all weddings, funerals, weddings and other red and white matters in the county palace, lest he fall a little, resulting in poor etiquette.

No, when he arrived at the Ming Palace, he urged the horse to gallop again, and threw the axe and the scale into Li Zhi's car, which was the rule of the matchmaker at that time.

There is an axe in his hand because the "Nanshan" chapter of the "Book of Songs" says: "What is the salary analysis, it is not the axe, and the marriage of a wife is not the same, and it is not the match." It means that the matchmaker is compared to chopping wood with an axe, without an ax you can't chop wood, and you can't get married without a matchmaker.

There are scales in your hands, and you pay attention to the right door. This scale is called the "measuring scale", which means that the weight of both men and women must be the same, so that the husband and wife can be harmonious and the family business prosperous. The ancients paid a lot of attention to the right of the door, such as the good and the low, even if it conforms to the difference between the door, there is also a common or similar demand in terms of values, living habits, and concepts of both parties.

Matchmaking was regarded as one of the necessary conditions for marriage in the old society, and marriage without matchmaking became an illegal marriage. A matchmaker or matchmaker determines a person's lifelong happiness. In other words, the happiness of both parties who have never met is in the hands of these matchmakers, what an incredible thing, and what a helpless feeling for those men and women to be married.

Li Zhi looked at the axe and said that the two things didn't know what was going on, and after Master Feng's explanation, he couldn't help but complain with a bitter face and was depressed: "Old man, you said that I am young, and if I control these two divine objects to enter the gate of the Ming Palace, will it make people laugh and lose their big teeth?" You might as well hand them over to the eldest young master of the Xuan Palace, this person's identity is not ordinary, and he is extremely happy to be in the limelight. What's more, with the Xuan Wangfu as the matchmaker, connecting the Ming Wangfu and the Linhuai County Wangfu to get married, the face of our two families is big enough, which can be described as a good thing in one fell swoop! ”

Master Feng's face was embarrassed, "Everyone in the Ming Palace, Mr. Li, is the one who pulls the strings!" ”

"You can say wrong, the real person who is the third young man of the Ming Palace, Li Cheng, can't you ask his own family members in the mansion to hold axes and weigh them, right?"

"What shouldn't the eldest young master of the Xuan Wangfu do? Haven't come back to you yet? And it is also possible that King Xuan will be unhappy in the future! ”

"Li Ling came here this time because he was sent by King Xuan, and he specially explained to him, and all actions were under command! Besides, as far as I know him, this person is very happy to take on this kind of thing, as long as he can be in the limelight, he will not care what kind of form! ”
