Chapter Eighty-Four: Living to Suffer

The rule that horseback riding is not allowed in the city is not generalized, at least the groom can ride a horse on the day of his wedding, and he does not even need to report or apply.

Therefore, this day is more and more important for men in this cottage Datang.

Because for ordinary people, except for the day of marriage and marriage, I am afraid that they will not have the opportunity to ride a horse in the city in their lifetime.

Of course, it is a different matter if you can make great contributions and be rewarded by the imperial court, and you are given the qualification to ride a horse in the city.

Or like Ye Maoyan, a figure with a head and a face in Diezhang City, some rules have lost their binding force on them, but even so, Ye Maoyan can't blatantly disobey the laws of the Tang Dynasty, because these merchant families are for the imperial court, if the imperial court really wants to move them, then they are no different from fat sheep to be slaughtered.

Shang Tao was woken up early in the morning, and then spent two hours dressing up, Shang Tao was also drunk, a big man, he actually had to apply grease and powder, and it was not good to say that it was unlucky.

Helplessly, Shang Tao had no choice but to let them toss, and after tossing and waiting for a long time, Shang Tao was asked to get on the horse.

He sat on the horse for several more minutes before he finally heard a loud voice: "The auspicious time has arrived, and we are leaving!" ”

Then Shang Tao sat on a tall horse with a red hydrangea hanging around his neck, and was led out of the gate of Shangfu by a boy with clear eyebrows.

Shang Tao secretly looked at his watch, the time was actually no more than a minute, no less, just pointed to 8:18, Shang Tao didn't understand how this copycat Datang without a clock calculated the time, and could actually accurate the auspicious time to the minute.

Thinking of watches, Shang Tao seems to have thought of a way to make money, but the watch is too fine, with the industrial level of this world, I am afraid that it will not be able to produce it in a short time, but it can be considered to produce a large watch - that is, a table clock, it stands to reason that this does not seem to be difficult.

Thinking wildly along the way, two hours later, just when Shang Tao was already impatient, a group of relatives greeted the family, in a joyful atmosphere of blowing gongs and drums, and finally stepped into the courtyard gate of Ye Mansion.

Shang Tao couldn't help but slander in his heart, Nima was only three or four miles away in a straight line, and it took two hours to get to Yefu, Shang Tao said that he had the privilege of riding a horse in the city, and he didn't want to come a second time in the future, he really couldn't afford it.

After arriving at Ye Mansion, Shang Tao could only walk towards Ye Ning's boudoir like a puppet, under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, yes, you read that right, it was to go to Ye Ning's boudoir, but not to XXOO, but to invite people out.

On the way to Ye Ning's boudoir, Shang Tao encountered several times of blocking the way of the old mother and daughter-in-law, Shang Tao had to obediently hand over the red envelopes that had been prepared long ago, and had to have a stiff smile on his face (there was no way not to be stiff, because his face could almost rub off two taels of powder), and when he met a spicy woman, he had to get wet with a lewd hand...... Well, it's a good poem, but these are Li Ling'er, Su Chan'er, Wang Xiaoying, and Xiu'er, a few talented girls, who have prepared a lot of poems for him, so it didn't bother him.

When he finally invited his underage little daughter-in-law out, Shang Tao found that the little girl was dressed up very bright and moving today, but she was wrapped in three layers and three layers outside like a big red zongzi, and the phoenix crown on her head was made of pure gold and precious stones, Shang Tao estimated that she would have to weigh at least a dozen catties, and Shang Tao felt tired for her when she looked at it.

However, when Shang Tao asked, he was very troubled: "This thing on your head is real gold, right?" ”

Ye Ning was slightly stunned, bit his lower lip, and then whispered, "Hmm." ”

"How much does it weigh?"

"Eighteen pounds, eight taels and eight coins......"

"This thing...... It's also one of the items for dowry, right? ”
