Early the next morning, Zhang Song returned home after practicing martial arts early.

In the open space in front of the house, Xiaoli, Fan Xin, Yuan Shi, Zhong Gui, Liu Yi and Xiaolan were sitting in front of the old merchant in a row, with a tall posture, both eyes staring at the ground, and following the old merchant with words in their mouths.

This is an old merchant teaching a few teenagers to read and learn calligraphy.

After returning home last night, Zhang Song and Song Pei found the old merchant and discussed with him about the formation of the wind department, and the old merchant was very happy to do something for Qingsong Valley, and immediately said that he should do this well despite all difficulties, but he proposed that because he was older, he might not be able to do it alone, and he needed a few helpers. Zhang Song promised to match the old merchant with a few capable helpers, and immediately said a few candidates.

When talking about the candidates, the question arises. Since it is the wind department, it is necessary to pass the news, and the transmission of the message must use words, but among the people available on Zhang Song's side, except for Zhang Song and Song Pei, no one is literate, so that the wind department only has an old merchant, and it can't be formed at all.

I thought of everything, but I didn't think of this, Zhang Song and Song Pei stared at each other for a while. In desperation, Zhang Song decided to open a private school, with the old merchant and Song Pei as teachers to teach several teenagers to read and learn calligraphy.

Fortunately, both the old merchant and Song Pei were happy to be this teacher, and agreed that the old merchant would teach them first in the past few days, and after the old merchant left, they would be taught by Song Pei.

So there was a scene in front of me.

Zhang Song's arrival alarmed several teenagers who were reading and practicing calligraphy, and the teenagers turned their heads and looked at Zhang Song with a smile.

"Big brother, when are you going to marry Sister-in-law Kiko?" Xiaolan asked with a grin, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy.

Among the teenagers, only Xiaolan was the closest to Zhang Song, and only Xiaolan was the least afraid of Zhang Song, and dared to ask Zhang Song any question directly. When several teenagers heard Xiaolan's question, they all laughed loudly.

"Study hard, this is what you should ask as a child!" Zhang Song smiled and scolded, but his face was a little red, he was a man in two lives, this was the first time Zhang Song had officially talked about marriage.

"Hehe, big brother blushes, I'm embarrassed." Zhang Song's rebuke failed to scare Xiaolan, who ruthlessly exposed Zhang Song's weakness.

Zhang Song wanted to pretend to be more serious, but after all, he was happy from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't be serious, so he had to give up, touched his nose, and scolded with a smile: "You little ghost." ”

"Okay, don't bother your eldest brother, don't you want to marry your sister-in-law sooner or later?" In the laughter of the teenagers, the old merchant relieved Zhang Song.

"Yes!" The teenagers shouted in unison. And then there it was chattering.

Zhang Song ignored them and walked back.

"Oh, Aunt Zhong, are you not feeling well? I see why your eyes are red? Zhang Song asked Zhong Gui's mother, who was delivering food to the hall, with concern.

Last night, Zhong Gui's mother and Fan Xin's mother took the initiative to take care of cooking for everyone, and it was because of this that Xiaolan had time to read and practice calligraphy.

"She, this is a great joy for you!" Fan Xin's mother came out of the kitchen and said quickly.

"Oh, what's going on? Let's talk about it. Zhang Song said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhong Gui's mother suddenly blushed and hurriedly stopped Fan Xin's mother.

"I'm not talking nonsense, and it's not something to be seen, there's nothing to say." Fan Xin's mother said, "After your good news came back, Zhong Gui's mother has been thinking about whether Zhong Gui can marry a beautiful little lady like you in the future." ”

Zhong Gui's mother was so embarrassed that she hit Fan Xin's mother with her fist, but her ears were pricked up to listen to Zhang Song's movements.

Zhang Song smiled and said, "Definitely, as long as it is a man in Qingsong Valley, he will marry a beautiful little lady like flowers and jade in the future." ”

"Look, I just said it, don't worry, Zhang Jun will definitely consider it as a benevolent and righteous person, only you will live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." After listening to Zhang Song's answer, Fan Xin's mother breathed a sigh of relief and scolded with a smile.

"I don't dare to expect to marry a little lady who is like a flower, as long as the facial features are good and the person is good." Zhong Gui's mother was a little embarrassed, but obviously very happy.

"What, who wants to marry a little lady?" Fan Xin's father, who had just come home and heard a few words, asked, followed by Zhong Gui's father.

"Nobody, you heard it wrong." Fan Xin's mother replied with a smile.

"Uncle Fan, Uncle Zhong, you're back. How did you choose the location? Do you have something you like? Zhang Song asked with a smile.

"Zhang Junzao, the address has been chosen, it is not far in front, and it can't be too far, and it is good to hang out with each other, take care of it." Fan Xin's father said happily.

"This place is good, the terrain is good, the land is fertile, I can rest assured that my home is here." Zhong Gui's father is also very happy.

Fan Xin's father and Zhong Gui's father came together in the morning to choose the address for the construction of their new house, and last night Zhong Gui's father decided to settle his home in Qingsong Valley. Zhang Song was very happy to hear this, so he sent someone to help the two families build a new house, and asked Fan Xin's father and Zhong Gui's father to choose the address this morning.

"After the address is chosen, then I will tell Liu Yongsheng today, and ask him to send a few people to help you build the house, and then you will decide for yourself how big you want to build and what the style of construction is."

"The matter of the house is not in a hurry, we will eat first, and after the morning meal, we will send the day to Song Jun, this matter is the most important. Zhong Gui, you go and invite Song Jun to dinner. Fan Xin's father got up and beckoned Zhang Song to walk towards the hall.

"Yes, yes, yes, the most important thing is to send the day!" Zhong Gui's father responded with the voice.

It's really not early, yesterday Song Pei and Yu Minzhi made an appointment to carry out the fifth of the six wedding ceremonies today - the invitation period. The so-called invitation period, the ancient book contains "the invitation period with geese, the host's resignation, the guest promise period, such as the levy ceremony." That is, the man's family sent an envoy into the woman's house to ask for a gift, and then made a speech, explaining the date of marriage, the woman's father accepted, and finally the messenger returned to his life. The invitation period is commonly known as sending the day, that is, the day selected by the man is sent to the woman, and the woman is united to see if it is suitable.

After the morning meal, Song Pei hid the invitation letter written on red paper close to his body, tidied up his clothes in front of the water in the basin, and then set off to Yu Minzhi's house with Fan Xin's father, Zhong Gui's father, and the old merchant, who were also dressed in a new dress.

Here, Zhong Gui's mother and Fan Xin's mother grabbed the goods carried by Fan Xin's father and Zhong Gui's father, and counted the gifts in the goods again and again to see if there were any omissions.

Although several adults said that they were happy, their expressions were very solemn, and their behavior was also meticulous, as if they were proposing relatives for their loved ones.

Zhang Song, who was the main person in this matter, stood with a group of teenagers and had nothing to do.

"Oh, aunt, it's almost fine, we are so familiar with Madame, Madame doesn't count so much." Zhang Song interjected on the side.

"No way!"

Several adults said almost in unison, and the old merchant glared at Zhang Song fiercely, as if Zhang Song had committed a big crime by saying something, which startled Zhang Song.

"Lord, this kind of thing must not be said, the gift is small, the faux pas are big, your identity is extraordinary, you are going to marry a wife, you must not make a mistake!" Song Pei was rarely serious when he said this.

After repeated confirmation, there was nothing missing, and the group went to the hall to pray to the ancestors, and then saluted Zhang Song, and then officially set off.

Fan Xin's mother, Zhong Gui's mother, Zhong Gui, Yuan Shi, Fan Xin, and Xiaolan all went to the address of the new house to help dig the foundation, and only Liu Yi and Xiaoli were left in front of the house to feed the pigeons.

After a while, there was a faint greeting from Yu Minzhi's house, presumably it was Song Pei and them who arrived, and then the noise subsided again.

"Liu Yi, why do you keep looking at me? Is there something wrong with me? Zhang Song saw that Liu Yi glanced at himself from time to time, a little strange, so he asked.

"Big brother, Liu Yi wants to ask why you didn't show your true face yesterday, if you show your true face, he will beg to go with you." Liu Yi didn't speak, but Xiaoli on the side replied, "He also said that he is willing to take you to find the two stone-like stones for you as a congratulatory gift to you." ”

"I lied to you yesterday, those stones are really useful to me, don't you blame me?"

Liu Yan shook his head and said timidly: "Don't blame! ”

"Why?"

After being silent for a while, Liu Yi whispered: "Because you are a big hero guarding Yongping County, you won't harm me, you just want me to come to Qingsong Valley to live well." ”

Zhang Song touched Liu Yan's head lovingly, and said gently: "When you get here, you will learn your skills and treat this place as your home, Xiaoli and I are your eldest brother, and Xiaolan is your sister." ”

Liu Yi said "um", and suddenly hugged Zhang Song, Zhang Song's heart was hot, and he also hugged Liu Song, and Xiaoli also came up clumsily and hugged Zhang Song.

"Big brother, I'll take you to find that kind of stone, there are a lot of them not far from here." After a while, Liu Yi let go of Zhang Song and said to him.

"Where is that kind of stone? Take me with you! A voice abruptly sounded behind Zhang Song.

Liu Yi ran to Zhang Song and grabbed Zhang Song's shirt with a timid expression.

"Blacksmith, can't you be gentle? You see, you scared the kids. Zhang Song turned around and saw the blacksmith carrying the gift, "I said, what are you doing here?" Have you done what you have done? ”

"I'll do something, you can rest assured, I promise that I won't delay things. Today is a good day for you, I'll send something over to show my heart. The blacksmith apologized to Liu Yi and said, while handing the gift to Xiaoli to put it away.

At noon, Zhang Song had just sent off the blacksmith, and Song Pei and the old merchant came back with a happy face.

"How's it going?" Although he knew the result, Zhang Song couldn't help but ask.

"The matter has been done, and we will welcome our relatives next month." Song Pei said loudly.
