As soon as he heard that Ji Huan was going to make a short meeting, Ji Chang panicked. He still loves this daughter very much, and hurriedly took Nangong Shi and Ji Fa to the inner house.

When I came to the inner house, the courtyard became a pot of porridge, the girl screamed, the mother-in-law shouted, and the waiter stared. A little chamberlain panicked and hit his head in Ji Chang's arms, and Ji Fa was so angry that he kicked to the side.

Nangong Shi hurriedly supported Ji Chang, panicked into the inner house, and saw that Ji Huan was lying in the arms of Mrs. Shaoshu and sobbing, Ji Chang's heart fell to the ground.

walked over and looked at Ji Huan and said, "Is there anything you can't say slowly, what are you messing around?" ”

Ji Huan didn't pretend to be, after the school competition, Li Jiao's heroic shadow was firmly imprinted in Princess Ji Huan's heart.

Unexpectedly, Ji Chang wanted to break the contract and marry Cangxu, the prince of Canghou. A sweet dream was disappointed, and the heart was desperate. Hoping that the sub-period can find a way to turn around, the sub-period has disappeared again.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she hung herself up, thanks to the maid Xiao Jiu who found out early, she picked up a life.

Ji Fa saw that his mother's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and hurriedly walked over, "Mother, Ji Huan is fine, don't cry your mother's body, you and your father will think about it in the long run." ”

Shaoshu was angry, and when she raised her hand, she slapped Ji Fa almost down, and five red fingerprints immediately appeared on her face.

Ji Xian and Ji were standing next to him, and when they saw Ji Fa being beaten, their hearts were open.

Shaoshu pointed at Ji Fa and Ji Chang and scolded: "It's all a good thing that you two have done, the common people know that they are honest and trustworthy, you see that your father and son, as a prince, are not afraid of the world's jokes?"

Listen to what the people of the city are shouting? Everyone knows that Huan'er chose Lijiao for the marriage competition, if Huan'er has three long and two short, I will work hard with your father and son! ”

Ji Chang has never seen Mrs. Shaoshu lose her temper so much, since Weishui welcomed her family, Mrs. Shaoshu married into Xiqi. Usually has a gentle temperament and few words, how can there be such a thunderous time.

Ji Chang's momentum was also a little weak, and he stepped forward to persuade: "Madame doesn't know, Na Lijiao is neither a royal family nor a nobleman, let Huan'er marry him, shouldn't you be laughed at by the world?" I also want to choose a good in-law for Huan'er. ”

"You say that!" Mrs. Shaoshu was still angry, "The child period is the fourth prince of my brother's biological son, Li Jiao is his brother-in-law, isn't the prince's brother a royal noble?" Is it only your Xibohou minions that can be considered nobles? I said that Li Jiao is a nobleman, he is a nobleman! ”

Ji Chang was scolded speechless, and Nangong Shi stood beside him, his face flushed and white.

Mrs. Shaoshu scolded, and also felt that it was detrimental to the prestige of the mother of the country, coughed lightly, lowered her voice and said: "Since General Nangong is also here, let's discuss the princess's marriage together, what else does Master Hou have planned?" ”

Ji Chang was asked, with an embarrassed face, what else could he say? From the moment Cangxu refused to marry, the plan was doomed to bankruptcy.

Although Shaoshu said that he was arrogant in front of him, he also had the capital to be arrogant. The dignified princess of the Great Shang Kingdom, what's wrong with her tantrum? He is just a prince, although he has the ambition of not being a minister, after all, his status is here.

Besides, Mrs. Shaoshu was also very virtuous in the past, and the couple really didn't blush, but this time they were really annoyed.

Ji Chang licked his shriveled lips, "It's still the lady's decision on Huan'er's marriage!" ”

Mrs. Shaoshu is so smart, when she saw that Ji Chang recognized it, she accepted it when she saw it, smiled and said: "It's okay for me to be in charge, Huan'er chose Lijiao, which is also well deserved." However, after all, I am a woman, and the marriage has to be arranged by the Hou Ye, aren't you good at divination? Find a good day to find Huan'er! ”

In the Yin Shang era, wedding etiquette was very standardized. In particular, princes and nobles attach great importance to it. The whole process includes four links: marriage proposal, engagement, invitation, and personal welcome.

Marriage proposal is when the heads of the families of the men and women sit together and take out their respective production characters to see if they are suitable. Of course, the higher the status, the less freedom both men and women have, mainly because of the political, family and other factors involved.

On the contrary, some civilian homes are much freer, which can be seen in the narrative of the Book of Poetry, which can be described as free love, not only men chasing women, but also women chasing men. Everyone sings mountain songs together, chats, and can romantically fall in love.

Unlike the late feudal society, young men and women have no freedom at all, and they rely on the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers. If you want to, you can travel back in time to experience the experience, and it is said that it feels good.

Of course, there is still a matchmaker. The two sides don't understand, and they have to rely on him to negotiate and negotiate. If Lang is in love with the concubine, the two families have no opinion, and the matchmaker is also a tablet.

The marriage proposal is almost over, and it is time to get engaged. The engagement should choose a good day and an auspicious day, and the two parties should change and be more close, enter the ancestral hall and say to the eighteen ancestors, and the princes and generals will be more verbose, and there will be sacrifices.

It's different from the current engagement, the current engagement is that the two parties come together, and after the bride price, drink seven meat and eight vegetables, anyway, the girl's more than 100 catties are handed over to your family, how can you love it.

The engagement is the invitation period, and the so-called invitation period is the auspicious day and auspicious time for divination and marriage. This is troublesome, the powerful can find Taibu Taizhu, and ordinary civilians, such as Zhang Erlai, can only let the village head Huang Banxian flip through the yellow calendar.

After setting the date, it will be the fourth link, which is called pro-welcome, and it is optimistic that it is pro-welcome, not pro-welcome. Yin Shang's wedding pays attention to "marrying a wife (hard sound), marrying a welcome." "Mei is the meaning of sending, the mother's family wants to send, the rich and powerful get a guard of honor to blow and beat, and the money to get a donkey.

Where to send it? Until you meet the pick-up team. The two sides came together and went straight to the groom's house.

So where to receive, it depends on the status of both sides. If the mayor's son marries the mayor's daughter, it will be delivered to the bride's door, and if the mayor's son marries the mayor's daughter, it will save trouble and be delivered to the groom's door. It's a bit of an exaggeration, that's what it means.

It is said that during the Yin Shang period, the farthest one was Ji Chang, the king of Zhou Wen, who went straight to Weishui, and specially built a bridge and a big ship.

Unlike now, as the status of women gets higher and higher, it is directly connected to the bride's house.

Because the wedding etiquette was already very perfect during the Yin Shang period, it was indeed a very troublesome thing. So Mrs. Shaoshu raised her leg and kicked the ball to Ji Chang. Ji Chang is still very business-oriented, and it is said that he is the ancestor of fortune telling.

Ji Chang took out the calculation plan for divination, dumbfounded! Her mother, except for three days later, that is, Mrs. Shaoshu's birthday, which is an auspicious day of the zodiac, she can't do it for 100 days.

At this moment, Princess Ji Huan stopped crying, buried her face in her mother's knee and refused to go, pricking up her ears to eavesdrop. If you want to say that this girl is older, you really can't keep it, this thing is troublesome!

Mrs. Shaoshu thought for a while and said: "After a hundred days, it's too long, three days is just three days, it's too late, and when it comes to my birthday, I'm happy to join in the fun!" "Although Mrs. Shaoshu said it magnificently, she was still afraid of long nights and dreams!

After Mrs. Shaoshu finished speaking, she sent Ji Xian to hurry up to find a better post for the sub-order to ask for a subordinate, and everyone here went to work separately.

Everyone dispersed, and only Ji Huan's mother and daughter were left in the inner room. Mrs. Shaoshu stroked Princess Ji Huan's hair and said lovingly: "Huan'er, Grandma can only help you get here, in the future, Grandma can't always follow you!" ”

One sentence made Princess Ji Huan cry again, and the mother and daughter hugged each other, as if they were about to separate. Princess Shaoshu sighed, "Huan'er, the big wedding is coming, you should be happy, you are going to be a bride." ”

Princess Ji Huan said in a low voice: "Mother, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the wedding dress within three days!" ”

Princess Shaoshu was so angry and funny, she shouted just now that she didn't want to leave her, and now she was worried about the wedding dress.

She thought about it, took her daughter's hand and said, "If you can't catch it, you won't rush it, your grandfather gave her mother's wedding dress back then, and your mother has always treasured it." That's the phoenix crown of the eldest princess of the Great Shang, I'm afraid I won't be worthy of you? ”

Ji Huan burst into tears and laughed, "Mother, I either dislike it, or I'm afraid you won't be reluctant!" ”

Mrs. Shaoshu stroked her daughter, "If you are reluctant, I will be your daughter!" ”

Mrs. Shaoshu is the daughter of the emperor. It's a pity that it was ill-fated and ended up unknown in history. Maybe it was this wedding dress that occupied the king's spirit, and later Li Jiao was crowned a first-class prince, and Princess Ji Huan was crowned a princess, which is a later story.

Nangong Shi accompanied Ji Chang back to the front hall, and the two monarchs and ministers were relatively speechless. Ji Fa was embarrassed and didn't know where to go.

After being silent for a while, Ji Chang said: "Calculate it, it's still a step behind, this is the will of God!" ”

Nangong Shi smiled bitterly: "Master Hou, you can't say that, it's the most common thing to have gains and losses." You have also seen Li Jiao, that is a first-class warrior, if you become a relative to Princess Ji Huan and become your right-hand man, isn't it much stronger than a subject country? ”

Ji Chang waved his hand, "You don't know, I calculated it for Li Jiao, this person is definitely not a thing in the pool, and he has the ability, but this person is too dead-eyed, and he is the most loyal, so I'm afraid he can't be used by me." ”

Nangong Shi coughed, "A loyal person has the benefit of loyalty, he is loyal to others, and he will also be loyal to the Hou Ye." Besides, you are Weng's son-in-law, as long as the Hou Ye is attentive, are you afraid that you won't be able to catch him? ”

Ji Chang nodded, "I hope so!" ”

The pickaxe capital is very busy, but the child is having fun with Lai'er in the mountains. The two of them hunted a few pheasants and three robes, and what made Layle happiest was that they had hunted a huge white rabbit with a snow-white fur without a single stray hair.

Ziqi said that he could make him a rabbit hat, which made Lai'er the happiest.

The two of them returned to the city, went directly to the fur shop, handed over the white rabbit to the shopkeeper, pointed to Lai'er and asked: "My rabbit, make a rabbit hat for my sister, don't have forelimbs, the rest must be intact, how much does it cost!" ”

The shopkeeper looked at Lai'er and said with a smile: "This big rabbit is too rich, and the fur from the belly is enough, and the leather goods are ripe and sewn by hand fifty money shells." ”

Ziqi thought for a while, "Then if you put two eyes with red agate, how much will it cost?" ”

The shopkeeper shuddered, glanced at the two of them, and said in his heart that this could meet the God of Wealth.

The shopkeeper thought about it, was a little embarrassed, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Two red agate will cost sixty penbeis, so I will only charge you sixty penbeis, and I will give it away for free, how about it?" ”

Zi Qi knew that he was buying and selling, but it didn't matter, the last thing he lacked now was money, the price of a set of bamboo slips and sheep's hair.

Ziqi said heartlessly: "Okay, that's it, it's decided, can you pick it up the day after tomorrow?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled so hard that his eyes became a slit, "Yes, of course, but you have to keep a deposit, and I need a lot of money to buy agate!" ”

Ziqi took out the money bag and paid half of it in advance, "Is this okay?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly put it in his hand, "Of course, silk or brocade here?" Zi Ji waved his hand, "Silk brocade is too cold in winter, just use fine thick cotton!" ”

Lai'er quietly tugged at him with her hand, "Spend so much money, you tell me, why do you have so much money?" ”

Ziqi smiled evilly: "It's not that I have money, I'm willing to spend money." What is the amount of money spent by a father making a rabbit hat for his daughter? Lai'er glared and reached out to twist her ears, "Okay, you dare to take advantage of me!" ”

Ziqi pulled up the black wind and ran, and Lai'er chased after him all the way.

Seeing the two running away, several people immediately gathered next to him, "Hey, shopkeeper, who is this young man?" Good guy, make a hat and buy more than a hundred acres of land. ”

The shopkeeper smacked his lips, "How do I know?" It is estimated that it came from Xibohou Mansion, how can others have this aura? Didn't I hear that the princess was going to get married? I guess that girl just now is a princess! ”

A circle of people gathered around to chat, and Ziqi ran back to the imperial guard camp with Lai'er.

Li Hong hurriedly greeted him when he saw Ziqi coming back, "Brother Erwang, why did you come back, I can't find you no matter how I look for you!" ”

Ziqi unloaded the roe deer and pheasant and asked, "What's the urgency of looking for me?" ”

Li Hong's eyebrows fluttered and said, "Prince Ji Xian is here, looking for you to discuss my brother's marriage." ”

"So fast?" The sub-period was somewhat unexpected.

Li Hong helped pick up the prey and said: "Yes, Ji Xian said that the wedding date is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, that is, on the birthday of Mrs. Shaoshu, he can't wait for you, so he takes his brother away!" ”

Ziqi said with a smile: "Brother just go, the food is from the Hou Mansion, it's not good if I want to go without paying, let's pretend not to know." Call out all the brothers, let's celebrate my brother's marriage tonight, barbecue and drink without getting drunk! ”

Li Hong also smiled, "That's right, the money of the Hou Mansion is not spent in vain, let's drink." ”

After saying that, he happily went to call the soldiers to pack up the prey and prepare firewood.

The child went to tie up the black wind and sat on the manger to bask in the sun. Lai'er leaned next to him and whispered, "Your brother is reluctant to spend money when he gets married, you are so stingy!" ”

Ziqi said confidently: "What do you know? I don't spend it, but I also have people to flower, and when I return to Chaoge, I will give my brother flowers. ”

Ryle pouted, "As far as you can calculate!" Although the child period will calculate, but he is not stingy with spending money on himself, Lai'er is sweet in her heart.

The prey is packed up by the brothers from Chifeng Village, and they have already become familiar with the child period. Seeing the two of them talking and making trouble, they smacked their lips with envy, "It's still that our fourth prince has a woman's popularity, and we can meet beautiful women wherever we go, and we will be mixed with the fourth prince in this life, maybe we can borrow light!" ”

The other immediately took a sip of him, "You want to be beautiful, just like you, like me, honest barbecue!" ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and Ziqi pretended not to hear it, lying down in the sun and basking in the sun leisurely.

He was drying comfortably, and Li Hong excitedly shouted: "Brother Wang, the meat is cooked!" ”

Ziqi jumped up, "Okay, eat barbecue, third brother, go and call Ji Xian and Ji, you can't forget your brother when you drink wine and eat meat!" ”

Lai'er jumped and ran over, tore off a piece of meat first, gave half of it to the child, and shouted, "It's so delicious!" ”

The barbecue techniques of these hunters are really unblew, and they make people salivate.

After a while, Ji Xian's brother arrived on horseback, and Ji Xian dismounted and shouted: "Brother Ziqi Wang, you are really righteous, and you haven't forgotten your brother when you drink wine and eat meat!" ”

Ziqi laughed and asked the soldiers to bring out the whole jar of wine.

Wine is a good thing, and when you drink it to your heart's content, these soldiers let go at once, and they don't care who is the prince and who is the official, drinking in large bowls and eating meat in large pieces.

Lai'er and Zi Qi were drinking and fighting, and Ji Xian and Ji were stupid.

When the wine was half-drunk, the eldest son Ji Kao and the sixth son Ji Du came back with Li Jiao. When Ji Kao saw Ziqi, he complained: "Ziqi, why did you forget me about your good drinking?" It's so unrighteous, isn't it? ”

Without waiting for the sub-period to speak, Li Hong hurriedly played a round, "Eldest son, my second brother asked me to go to you, seeing that you are busy with my brother to talk about marriage, I am not embarrassed to open my mouth!" ”

Ji Kao and Ji Du also sat on the ground, and Li Hong poured wine and cut meat for them. Li Jiao saw that the brothers were in a good mood, so he went to barbecue for everyone. I didn't let him see him, for fear that it would be bad for him to drink and go crazy.

The Li brothers drank and sang drinking songs as they drank! The soldiers in the other barracks of the imperial guard camp watched from afar, not to mention envy, and their saliva dried up.

A bright full moon gradually rises, and the bonfire is blazing under the moonlight, and the roe de roe meat is boiling on the fire, and the aroma of roasting is overflowing.

Ziqi was already drunk, and suddenly remembered to grill fish by the stream with Dan'er, and two lines of tears slowly flowed down his cheeks.

Layle looked at him in astonishment, "What's wrong with you, why are you upset?" Ziqi shook off her hand and staggered and shouted, "Who is not happy? You're not happy, your whole family is not happy! ”

He staggered two steps and raised his wine bowl to the moon, "Come, moon, let's drink!" Himeji and the soldiers immediately laughed.

Ziqi didn't care, raised his hand and drank half a bowl, opened his throat and sang:

I'm looking from afar,

Above the moon,

How many dreams are flying freely

Yesterday was forgotten

The wind dried up the sorrows

I want to meet you again on that vast road

Who's calling

The love is deep and long

Let my longing drift like a white cloud

East Side Horse Husbandry

Sheep grazing on the west side

The wild and spicy love songs were sung until dawn

The audience was dumbfounded, as if they were hooked by this "natural sound".

Laile was about to step forward and pull him, but he staggered a few steps and sat on the ground with his butt on his butt, but he didn't spill a drop of wine in his hand.

The audience was happy, and Ji Xian pointed to Ziqi and said with a smile: "Cousin Ziqi, I am most convinced by you!" ”

He sat on the ground and raised his hand to drink the rest of the wine, smashed the clay bowl with his hand, tore open his throat and sang:

Canghai laughs

The tide on both sides of the strait

Ups and downs follow the waves

The sky laughs

The tide of the world

God knows who loses and who wins

Jiang Shan laughed

Smoke and rain are far away

How much do you know about the red world when the waves sweep away the red earth

Qingfeng laughs

It's lonely

There is still a night photo left of pride

Cangsheng laughed

No more loneliness

Pride is still smiling infatuately

No one laughed anymore, because the child was singing and singing, and just lay down.
