Chapter 77: Recruitment

On the fifth day of the seventh month, it is advisable to marry, collect, and sacrifice; Avoid beams, burials, and burials.

The two major events that caused the most sensation in Xining Mansion on this day were the Qixi Oiran Contest and the gift of the eldest lady of the Zhao Firm. It is said that the Zhao Mansion invited many people with heads and faces in the city of Xining Mansion to watch the ceremony for the gift of Miss Wan'er's recruitment.

For this reason, it is the turn of the girls who participated in the Oiran competition today to complain, and because of the Zhao Mansion's interference, there will be a lot fewer gold owners who can support today, so that the flowers that can be obtained invisibly will be significantly less than those girls in yesterday's competition.

Qing'er is such a girl who is not lucky enough, because of Hua Niang's arrangement, she couldn't play on the first day. Originally, she also wanted to defeat Cai'er head-on on the stage, letting her know that she was much better than her, and she was not qualified to be favored by so many people in Nuanxiang Pavilion at all. Who knew that it would be extremely unfortunate to meet the day of Zhao's conquest.

Qing'er had a small face, and her expression was extremely displeased. It's just that when she encounters such a thing, she also seems very helpless. In Xining City, compared to Zhao Mansion, she is just an indecent ant, even if she is unwilling, she has to endure it.

Those who can be invited to participate in Zhao Wan'er's recruitment ceremony are all in power, and some juniors in the family who are not in the scope of the invitation still meet to watch the Oiran performance together.

Still in the east stand, Xu Bohan looked at Li Haobang who got off the carriage, and asked curiously: "Hey, isn't this Haobang brother?" If you don't go to your cousin's conscription today, how can you have the leisure to come to see the Oiran competition? ”

Under curiosity, there is a hint of ridicule. Regarding Li Haobang's thoughts, Xu Bohan still knows a little. At the beginning, Li Haobang pursued Zhao Wan'er to no avail, so he began to tie himself up, wanting to carve up the Zhao family's industry together. However, at that time, Zhao Wan'er's uncle was a waiter in the Ministry of Imperial Works, no matter how she pursued it, she never looked down on herself.

Later, when I heard that Zhao Chengming was convicted and demoted by Emperor Xia, I thought that the opportunity had finally come. Who knew that Zhao Wan'er would take a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and directly found a scholar who came out of nowhere to get engaged. This time, he and Li Haobang's wishful thinking were all disrupted, and in order to find someone to deal with the scholar's affairs, he was grounded by his father for several days.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Bohan was very unhappy in his heart, and he hated the Zhao family and the scholar even more.

Li Haobang looked around and arched his hand: "Hello Gongzi Xu, why didn't you see the little marquis today?" ”

Xu Bohan glanced at him and said lightly: "The little marquis still has something to do, how can he always be with me." By the way, do you have anything to do with the little marquis? ”

Li Haobang shook his head and said, "No, I came here to find Xu Gongzi." I heard that Xu Gongzi wants to get rid of Miss Cai'er, I can reveal some news to Xu Gongzi, and I may be able to ask Miss Qing'er from Nuanxiang Pavilion for help in this matter. ”

Xu Bohan said: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Li Haobang approached Xu Bohan and whispered in his ear: "When I was in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion before, I found that Qing'er and Cai'er didn't deal well with each other, and I complained about her. Xu Gongzi imagines that the two of them get along day and night, presumably Qing'er is very familiar with Cai'er, and it is unknown to know some places that can be used. ”

Xu Bohan touched his chin and pondered: "Li Gongzi is reasonable, this son will test it later." As he spoke, he smiled and beckoned Li Haobang to sit down and drink.

Li Haobang waved his hand and said: "Today, I can only grieve Xu Gongzi to drink alone, and I have to rush to Zhao Mansion to participate in Wan'er's levy ceremony." I want to see what kind of person that scholar is, and how can He De be favored by Wan'er. ”

Xu Bohan's mind was all on how to get Cai'er away at the moment, where would he pay attention to Li Haobang, and when he heard him say this, he waved his hand and said: "Then you go first, don't delay the time, if you have any interesting news, we will talk about it next time I come out for a drink." ”

Li Haobang arched his hand and said: "Farewell!" ”

……

Su Ziheng rode on a tall horse and wore a red robe, although it was not a wedding ceremony, he still had to wear it festively. Behind him was the family of the Zhao Mansion, who was carrying the dowry in pairs.

For this gift, the Zhao Mansion has prepared a lot of things. There are as many as 30 things, including Xuanqi, sheep, geese, sake, liquor, japonica rice, millet rice, pu reed, curly cypress, Jiahe, longevity, glue, lacquer, five-color silk, acacia bell, Jiuzimo, Lude, vanilla, phoenix, relic beast, mandarin duck, blessed beast, fish, deer, black, nine children's wife, Yang Sui.

In his previous life, Su Ziheng looked through ancient books and studied etiquette and law. Especially in the three books and six rituals in traditional marriage, I know that the various items used in the collection have meanings and symbols, rather than being chosen randomly.

Xuan, like the sky, 纁, Fa also, sheep, auspicious; The geese follow the sun; Sake blessings; The reason for the joy of liquor; japonica rice feeding; Ji rice and rice are sheng; There are many pus, soft sex, and soft reeds for a long time; Epiphytic cypress curvature; Jiahe Sulu; longevity and longevity; heterogeneous glue tension; The paint has good light inside and outside; The five-color silk chapter is endless; Acacia bells sound harmoniously; Nine sons and Mo have eternal descendants; Money and brightness are not enough; Lude vanilla is auspicious; The phoenix is male and female; The relics are honest and humble; The mandarin duck flies and stops the beard, and the song is harmonious; The blessed beast body is respectful and merciful; There is no shot in the fish place; Lu Zhilu also: Wu Zhi feeds, filial piety to parents; The nine sons and wives have four virtues; Yang Sui Cheng Ming settles down, and Dan is the glory of the five colors, the green is the color head, and the East begins.

Each item is in a group, and thirty items are carried by a total of sixty households. Walking through the streets of the West Market, passers-by have attracted the attention of passers-by, and they are more envious.

Su Ziheng's heart was like water at the moment, and he didn't feel ecstatic when he was about to get engaged. Because only he and a few people in the Zhao Mansion knew that this vigorous and lively gift of accepting the levy was just for outsiders to see.

When the team marched to the gate of Zhao's mansion, Liu Sijun, who had already received the news, ran back to Zhao Wan'er's boudoir excitedly, and shouted loudly: "Miss, Miss, my uncle is here." ”

Zhao Wan'er put down the account book in her hand, in fact, she had already heard it from the cheerful suona sound at the door, and the gift-giving team should have almost arrived at the door.

It's just that due to etiquette, the woman on the day of the conquest must not appear on the scene, otherwise she really wants to go out to see what kind of style Su Ziheng is at this moment. Isn't it as handsome and chic as described in the novel, I think there will be many people who want to embarrass him today, right? I don't know how he will deal with it, but I believe that with his talent and learning, he will be able to easily resolve their difficulties.

On this kind of levy or wedding day, especially if the man's family background is not as good as the woman's, he is more likely to be troubled by the woman's family. It's not that he deliberately looks down on the new aunt, he just wants to give him a dismount, so that he won't dare to bully the bride in the future.

Zhao Wan'er looked at Liu Sijun, who was sweating profusely, and suddenly had the idea of teasing her, and asked coldly: "Xiao Jun'er, what I asked you about some time ago, how did you think about it?" ”

"Ah......?" Liu Sijun was stunned for a moment, her pretty face turned red, and she didn't dare to look at Miss again. "Slave, slave......"

Liu Sijun opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know how to answer Zhao Wan'er's question.
