Chapter 42: Beauty is Affectionate
"Greetings to my father-in-law!" After Su Chen entered the door, he made a big salute to Cai Yong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Last night, under the auspices of Wang Zhi, in front of all the guests, he worshipped Cai Yong as his teacher, and became Cai Yong's nominal son-in-law.
The marriage customs of the Han Dynasty still followed the Zhou rites, which required six ceremonies, such as Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, inviting the period, and welcoming in person.
In the first three years of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty (3 A.D.), he ordered Liu Xin to make a wedding ceremony. After the Han Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the crown prince got married without relatives. From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, due to social turmoil, they could not take care of the six rites, and only worshiped the time (to worship the in-laws), and did not even want the ceremony. It was not until the Sui and Tang dynasties that the crown prince resumed his personal greetings, and the imperial family also acted according to the six rites when they got married.
But now Cai Yong is an exile after all, and some cumbersome steps will be appropriately deleted, otherwise by the time the six rituals are finished, the daylily will be cold.
It stands to reason that Cai Yan and Su Chen can't meet now, but there is a special matter, his trip is mainly to inquire about the safety of last night, and when he heard that the two of them were in danger, he finally put his heart back in his stomach.
When talking to Cai Yong, he behaved reasonably, so he spoke a lot less, not at all like he usually got along with his brothers, although he had to abide by these rules, but after kneeling for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
At this time, he heard Cai Yong's words suddenly change and asked, "Do you have a cousin?" ”
The table word, after the ancient man became an adult, it was inconvenient to call him by his name. Therefore, another alias related to the meaning of the original name is called a character to express its virtue. Mortals salute each other, and they will call it the word of virtue. The latter is called the table word.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, calling a person's full name is nothing more than scolding the other party, so almost no one has ever called Su Chen's full name, peers are called by virtuous brothers and virtuous brothers, and elders are called virtuous nephews.
However, Su Chen also knew that the words were generally taken with the help of teachers and elders and other close people, and he knew the elegance when he heard the strings, so he immediately saluted and said: "Please also ask your father-in-law to give you words!" ”
"Hmm!" Cai Yong stroked his long beard, pondered for a while, and said: "I talked to your father last night, you will now be an adult in a few months, he intends to ask the old man to preside over the coming-of-age ceremony for you, you also deserve to have a table, Chen Ze, Xingchen also, look at your words last night, aim high, why don't you take the word 'Xingyu'?" ”
"Su Chen, Su Xingyu?" He chewed on these two words carefully, and his heart was very useful, and if these two words were to be said in the words of the hereafter, they would have been, 'My journey is the sea of stars.' ’
"Thank you father-in-law for the word." From now on, he is also a man with words.
"Xingyu doesn't have to be polite, hurry up and take a seat!" Next, Cai Yong asked him some academic things, not to mention Su Chen's ability to remember now, just the things he remembered in his mind in the future were enough to make Cai Yong dumbfounded.
After some examination, Cai Yong was very satisfied, and couldn't help but sigh that he was blessed to be old and blessed, and he actually received such a talented and beautiful jade.
Considering that the two met for the first time, Cai Yong behaved very generously, and said to the two: "Xingyu, Zhaoji, I am a little tired of being a father, and go to the back room to rest, Zhaoji, you and talk to Xingyu, but you two must be careful with etiquette, and don't make overstepping." ”
Cai Yong's words made Cai Yong blush, but Su Chen was thick-skinned and thanked him: "Thank you father-in-law for your success, Chen will definitely respect Zhaoji's sister like a guest." ”
"Hmm."
Cai Yong nodded and went back to the room, Su Chen really didn't expect this future father-in-law to give face so much, and he actually left the two of them time to be alone, this is a rare world for two.
It's just that as soon as Cai Yong left, Cai Yan's face was red again, Su Chen didn't know how to deal with himself all of a sudden, and he was so nervous that he didn't know how to put his hands and feet, so he held back a sentence for a long time and asked, "What hobbies does my sister have on weekdays?" ”
This is rude, and she is like the image of Jia Baoyu, but Cai Yan, who is a girl, is very useful, and replied with a blushing face: "Zhao Ji has never liked to move around, she only likes to practice piano and write in the room, and has no other hobbies." ”
"Oh?" Su Chen is not a person who has no ink, and she likes to practice the piano, so he took the opportunity to ask, "I don't know what kind of music Zhao Ji knows?" ”
"Sometimes I play some slang tunes, sometimes I play a song about mountains and rivers, it's just fun." Cai Yan plucked up the courage to look up at him as he spoke, and asked rhetorically, "I don't know what Xingyu does on weekdays?" ”
"Me?" Su Chen thought about it, after he came to Dahan, his life was very fulfilling, so he said: "On weekdays, I like to practice martial arts, learn medical skills, and occasionally flip through the subset of scriptures and histories, but it is not as good as Zhaoji's sister's family history. By the way, I still like alchemy medicine, but the level is very average, I will make one or two beauty powders in the future, bring them to my sister to try, and keep you as beautiful as a fairy. ”
"Xingyu, you're going to make fun of me!" Cai Yan seems to be a little familiar with him, and his words are a lot more casual, but whether in ancient times or in modern times, beauty is an eternal topic for girls, Cai Yan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he hurriedly asked, "What kind of pill is it?" ”
If you want to talk about the beauty and beauty pills, Su Chen really has them there, and he doesn't know why Jia Ye still collects these pills, but at this time, they just happened to use them.
"This pill is a Zhuyan Pill, which is based on the Tianshan Snow Lotus as a medicine, after taking it, you can keep your youth forever and your appearance will not change, and the other pill is called Jade Muscle Pill, after taking it, it can reshape the ice muscle and jade bones, but this Jade Muscle Pill is very difficult to practice, and the raw materials are also extremely difficult to find, and I am not sure that it can be refined."
Su Chen had long wanted to try these two elixirs, after all, he knew what huge benefits these two elixirs that were not favored by Jia Ye could bring, but he didn't have time before, so he didn't care about them for a while.
Cai Yan became more and more interested in listening, and directly shifted the topic to these two pills, one spoke seriously, the other listened energetically, and he was happy and envious of others.
Cai Yan obviously didn't expect that people who could write ambitious and heroic poems such as Qinyuan Chunxue would have such a deep study of rouge gouache used by girls, especially when the other party said masks, lotions, makeup, cosmeceuticals, etc., Cai Yan fell into a fog.
But she was too ashamed, but thinking that the person in front of her was her future husband, she didn't feel shy, especially the respect that the other party inadvertently showed to her, which directly captured her whole heart, and even yearned for her future life.
In the process of chatting with her, Su Chen also got inspiration, maybe the benefits that this rouge gouache can bring are no worse than Su wine, and the cosmeceutical makeup of later generations is not impossible to make in the hands of the alchemists of the Han Dynasty, but no one can think of these.
Especially since he has the raw material base of Qingliang Temple, medicinal materials are not a problem for him, even if they are mass-produced in the future, relying on the efficacy of the underworld, they can still meet the needs of the market.
This business is very profitable, Su Chen is really itchy, and it is not restricted.
Now the output of Su wine is subject to the grain output has not been able to rise, in a state of short supply, it is said that in the south of a jar of Wuyuan immortal liquor have been speculated to the price of 500 gold, this is not necessarily able to buy.
Watching the silver flowing out of Baihuahua, his heart hurts, but there is no other way but to buy food as much as possible.
As for the horse business, the daily scale of Su's Ranch is to maintain 5,000 horses, half of which are war horses, which are strategic materials for future reserves, and the remaining half are of different grades, mainly sold to the Sili area, which is also in short supply.
And the sugar industry he fantasizes about has not even a shadow, not for anything else, because there are no raw materials.
As for the heavy industry such as mineral smelting, he does not have such a strong strength to get involved in now, and some are just a workshop in Wuyuan County, which can barely meet the daily needs of small fights, and this is still a waste of the boss's efforts, after all, with more and more tenants joining, the demand for farm tools is becoming more and more vigorous, and this workshop has now reached the limit of production capacity.
After counting it like this, Su Chen instantly found that it seemed to be the beauty industry that could bring him huge benefits without being restricted by raw materials and markets, and within the scope of the government's permission.
Thinking of this, a small flame in his heart instantly burned into a raging fire.
"Xingyu, what's wrong with you?" Cai Yan saw that he was a little absent-minded, so he asked out loud.
"Huh? Oh, nothing, nothing, I just thought of something. He came back to his senses, suddenly grabbed the other party's hand, and said excitedly: "Sister Zhaoji, thank you, if it weren't for you and I haven't found such a big business opportunity, you wait for my good news, and in a few days, I will come to you with what I said before." ”
"Ahh Cai Yan was suddenly caught by him, panicked, and struggled a few times, but he couldn't break free, so he had to beg: "Xingyu, let go of me, if you are seen by your father, what kind of system will it become." ”
Belch!
Su Chen subconsciously looked inside, but didn't find Cai Yong's figure, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but he quickly let go of her and apologized: "Shicai is a little excited, and I hope Zhao Ji won't blame Yu Mou." ”
"Hmm!" A muffled grunt like a mosquito answered him.
Unconsciously, time slipped away quickly, and seeing that it was getting late outside, he reluctantly said goodbye and left.
Looking at his distant figure, Cai Yan had a sweet smile on his face.
However, when she turned her head suddenly, she found that her father was looking at her with a smile, and she was immediately startled: "Ah! Father, why are you here? ”
Cai Yong didn't speak, seeing his daughter's happy appearance, he was relieved, and a smile appeared on his face.
When Su Chen returned to the mansion, he immediately asked Su An to prepare his equipment, he wanted to make alchemy, and then called Cao Xing and Hao Meng to protect the Dharma on the side.
Cao Xinghao Meng heard that the lord was going to refine again, and glanced at each other with a wry smile, and said in his heart that he was going to become a guinea pig again this time, but he still dared to meet it.
This scene was seen by Su An and snickered, but Su Chen suddenly slapped him on the back of the head and said with a smile: "Don't laugh, the three of you will all test the medicine for me later, and don't even think about running away." ”
"Hahahaha!" For a while, the alchemy room was filled with a cheerful smile, but Su Chen was a little nervous in his heart, after all, this was his first alchemy, I hope everything goes well, otherwise this face will be lost, and how to meet his sweetheart in the future is still a problem.
