Chapter 53: Dowry 1
A few days later, it was the day of the opening of Qingzhou Proud Building, and on that day, not only the prefect Murong Yanda led a group of officials and officials to come to the ceremony, but also the major restaurants in Qingzhou also came to congratulate with gifts.
It is said that peers are natural opponents, but when they arrive at the Deyi Building, it is just the opposite, the Deyi Building is like a pioneer, where the catering industry will prosper, so how can other restaurants be hostile?
The proud building was successfully opened, and the oil mill outside Qingzhou City had also begun production, and it was time for Wu Zhi to leave Qingzhou in Qingzhou.
He has been delayed for a long time, and the most important thing next is to accompany Hu Sanniang back to Hujiazhuang, by the way, to propose!
Several ladies have given their bodies to Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi always wants to give people a legal name as soon as possible!
In fact, Wu Zhi has always despised the male protagonists of those costume romance dramas before he crossed over, and in an era of polygamy, he still has to live up to women, it's really not a thing!
Wu Zhi won't, he has a few marries......
Wu Zhi and Hu Sanniang set off for Hujiazhuang with two entourages, Qingzhou Proud Building had just opened, and Xiao Rang stayed to take care of it for a few days.
This time, Wu Zhi and Hu Sanniang rode horses and did not take a carriage.
First, it was because the speed of riding a horse was relatively fast, after all, Hu Sanniang accompanied Wu Zhi to Qingzhou after receiving the letter from home, and it had been delayed for a few days; Second, because Wu Zhi is going to see his future father-in-law this time, if he is still on the road at this time, he is still "shocking" the unmarried daughter of other people, even if Hu Sanniang is willing to give it, Wu Zhi will be very upset......
It's better to ride a horse, but if you take a car, Wu Zhi will definitely not be able to control it.
On the official road, the pines and cypresses are sandwiched, the pedestrians are sparse, and there are still large wheat fields on both sides.
"Sanniang, wait for me!"
Hu Sanniang rode a snow-white horse to take the lead, while Wu Zhi had just learned to ride a horse, and he didn't dare to ride fast, so he could only lag far behind accompanied by two entourages.
"Official, you are usually a tiger, why did you become a sick cat as soon as you arrived on the back of this horse?" Hu Sanniang turned around and came to Wu Zhi, pursed her red lips, and said with a smile.
Wu Zhi rode a black tall horse, he pulled the reins, tightened his legs, and carefully controlled the horse to keep it parallel to Hu Sanniang, then he smiled a little bitterly: "Sanniang, don't make fun of me, I just learned to ride a horse, and it's already very powerful to have this level!" ”
Glancing at Hu Sanniang's ruddy face, Wu Zhi continued: "Hehe! I'm a little familiar with it now, and I'll be able to compete with Sanniang in a while to see whose horse is faster! ”
Hu Sanniang also controls the horse to be consistent with Wu Zhi, she has a slender figure, and when she rides a horse, her curved legs and twisting waist show a strange beauty, as well as flying hair and fluttering clothes, Hu Sanniang on the horse can't help but reveal a heroic demeanor.
"Good! I'm afraid that the officials and others will lose! Hu Sanniang looked at Wu Zhi proudly and said, "What if you lose?" ”
"If I lose, let you kiss it, if you lose, let me kiss it!" Seeing that Hu Sanniang giggled happily after hearing this, Wu Zhi continued: "You can designate any place at will, you can't be disobedient!" ”
As soon as the second half of the sentence was finished, Hu Sanniang's face suddenly turned red with shame, as if she had lost...... After all, she is an ancient woman, and Wu Zhi's casual yellowish words can make her ashamed for a long time.
"Nasty!" Hu Sanniang glared at Wu Zhi shyly, unlike other women who were shy and angry, Hu Sanniang's eyes were a little more unconvinced and threatening, and she looked very cute.
The two of you laughed one by one, Wu Zhi embarrassed Hu Sanniang from time to time, and was pinched by her a few times, Hu Sanniang's body was flexible and agile, Wu Zhi couldn't dodge, and it was fun along the way.
The two were playing and laughing on the horse, but the two horses were trotting side by side all the way, and they did not delay the journey, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to Hujiazhuang, Hu Sanniang's mood suddenly became a little low.
"Sanniang, don't worry." Wu Zhi comforted Hu Sanniang, he knew what Hu Sanniang was thinking.
"But sir, do you really intend to do this...... Did you go to propose marriage empty-handed? Hu Sanniang still couldn't help but worry.
When he came here before, he was in the carriage, and Wu Zhi told Hu Sanniang that he would go to Hujiazhuang with a big gift, but now, counting the two entourages behind, there are only four people and four horses, not to mention any gifts, not even a burden...... How could Hu Sanniang not be worried.
She didn't want her family to be angry and blame Wu Zhi for this, nor did she want Wu Zhi to be embarrassed at that time, let alone this marriage in vain.
"Haha!"
Wu Zhi smiled, he knew that his current situation was indeed a bit too hasty, after all, it was the first time to go to his father-in-law's house, and it was too unreasonable to go to the past empty-handed, but Wu Zhi really didn't have much money now, and Hu Sanniang's family was a big family, if Wu Zhi brought two catties of pork to propose marriage in the past, it would be strange if the father-in-law didn't kill him in the future.
What's more, Wu Zhi had indeed prepared a special gift, and he didn't feel the need to bring any more gifts.
"Sanniang, in fact, I brought a dowry, now I will keep it secret from you first, you just have to be happy and ready to get married!" Seeing that Hu Sanniang was still lonely, Wu Zhi continued to comfort.
"What kind of gift can't the official tell Sanniang?" Hu Sanniang pouted with a hint of crying and said: "Could it be that the official does not have Sanniang in his heart, so he deliberately does not want to bring a dowry...... said, his eyes are actually a little red.
Wu Zhi looked at Hu Sanniang and laughed secretly in his heart, women's minds are really complicated, sometimes they know that what they say is false, but they still can't help but say it......
This is a subconscious desire to be cared for by men, if you meet some men who don't understand the amorous feelings, after listening to the inexplicable words of women, once the tone of the answer is a little heavier, it will inevitably be another cold war......
Fortunately, Wu Zhi understood this kind of psychology, he smiled gently, approached Hu Sanniang, reached out and stroked Hu Sanniang's back like a kitten's hair, and said, "How come?" The official's favorite is Sanniang! Sanniang's sadness, my heart is also sour, let's laugh! ”
In fact, in Wu Zhi's heart, his three ladies are very important! He loves Xue'er the most, Hu Sanniang the most, and Pan Jinlian the most......
To say that a woman is a complex animal, Hu Sanniang knew that what Wu Zhi said was half-true, but she still couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed.
"Okay, the official will tell you what the dowry is!" Seeing Hu Sanniang smiling, Wu Zhi shook his head helplessly and said, "Sanniang, let me ask you, how many people are there in your Hujiazhuang?" ”
Hu Sanniang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after listening to Wu Zhi's words, why does this dowry have anything to do with the number of people in her village?
"This ...... Our Hujiazhuang is also a big village in the local area, I don't know the specific number, but there should be thousands of people in the words of Zhuangding! Although Hu Sanniang was puzzled, she still replied seriously.
"Hmm!" Wu Zhi nodded, in the Water Margin, when Liangshan attacked Zhujiazhuang, it was Hu Sanniang who took the lead with hundreds of cavalry Zhuang Ke to support, with these troops, it is naturally not strange that there are thousands of strong men.
"All the strong men in your village are sent by your family, right?" Wu Zhi continued to ask.
In the Song Dynasty, Zhuangzi like Hujiazhuang spread all over the country, and this kind of Zhuangzi named after the family name was not an ordinary village town, this kind of Zhuangzi was more similar to those big farms in Europe!
An important reason for the rapid development of industry and commerce in the Song Dynasty was that the Song Dynasty was the only dynasty in the past dynasties that did not inhibit land annexation, unlike the later British Industrial Revolution when the "land enclosure movement" was forced to force the peasants to work in the cities, due to the prosperity of commerce in the Song Dynasty, a large number of farmers took the initiative to sell their land to engage in business, which led to the concentration of a lot of land in the hands of some large landlords.
And Hu Sanniang's father is one of the many big landlords in the Song Dynasty, Hujiazhuang, to put it bluntly, is a big farm, and the people in it are renting the land of the Hu family, and everything in it is the property of the Sanniang family!
Not counting women and children, Zhuangzi, who has thousands of strong men, is indeed a big Zhuangzi, and counting the land, it is comparable to the scale of some small towns in later generations!
Therefore, Hu Sanniang is also an authentic Bai Fumei!
"Sent? No, the people in it are very self-conscious, and my family rarely sends them anything. The more Hu Sanniang listened, the more confused she became.
"No, I mean, it shouldn't be hard if your family lets them work, right?"
"Of course, it's not difficult to ......pay the salary," Hu Sanniang replied dizzily.
"So!" Wu Zhi said leisurely: "My dowry is a new industry!" Wu Zhi still didn't point it out.
Hu Sanniang looked at Wu Zhi expressionlessly, she really couldn't figure out what Wu Zhi's dowry had to do with the size and number of people in her Zhuangzi, but seeing the slightly upturned corners of Wu Zhi's mouth, she felt that this dowry was really unusual.
"Haha!" Seeing Hu Sanniang's cute face, Wu Zhi laughed and slapped off the horse violently, and galloped, "Think about Xue'er, stupid Sanniang!" After dropping this sentence, Wu Zhi disappeared.
"Cher?" Hu Sanniang's mind flashed Xue'er's playful face, Zhuangzi, the number of people, Xue'er...... She couldn't figure it out anymore......
"Stinky official! You can't say it explicitly! Since Wu Zhi said that there was a dowry, Hu Sanniang simply didn't want to, she also whipped the horse from her crotch and chased after Wu Zhi!
"Good official, wait for Sanniang!"
