"The Zhang family sings the ceremony, and the eight orders are proud!" When the housekeeper in charge of singing saw that the main family did not stop him, he took the gift list and began to sing.

"A Bashu Qingkong pen, two ingots of smoke ink from Bozhou pine, ten knives of silk paper from Lu Zaoxuan, a special product of the Black Jade Country, a dragon tail inkstone, a jade lion paperweight, three volumes of "Analects" written by Zhang Shilun and Confucianism, a "Green Pine" made by the president of Baicao Academy, and one of the good texts of one hundred disciples of Baicao Academy."

After the housekeeper finished singing, he walked up to Xia Shi with the gift list and bowed down and said, "The singing ceremony is over, please taste it." ”

To be honest, Zhang Baibai's dowry is really good. Except for the lack of gold and silver jewelry, it can be regarded as a heart, and gold and silver jewelry is really nothing in Xia Shi's eyes, nerd, understandable.

When the housekeeper sang the ceremony, Boss Wu explained to Wu Lao Er on the side, "Bashu Qingkong Pen" is very famous, even though it is not ranked in the top ten among the Seven Kingdoms, but it is also a rare top grade. Speaking of this, Boss Wu also paused deliberately, saying that there was one in his study, as if it was a great honor, but Wu Boss pouted and ignored him.

'Bozhou pine smoked ink' and 'Lu Zao Xuanli silk paper' are similar to 'Bashu Qingkong Pen', both of which are quite high-end goods in literati supplies. In particular, 'Lu made Xuanli silk paper' is a specialty of the Lu family in Gaoyang, and it cannot be seen anywhere else except for gifts to relatives and friends.

As for the dragon tail inkstone in the Black Jade Country, needless to say, everyone wrote that it was a specialty, and it was indeed rare to see in the White Jade Country. The paperweight is a little worse, but it is also jade. The rest of the Analects, the Green Pine, and the articles of the hundred disciples are not something that money can buy. Zhang Shilun is Zhang Baibai's father, and he can be regarded as a famous figure in Confucianism. The dean of Baicao Academy is even more prominent, and it is said that he is a descendant of Confucius's disciple Zilu.

The dowry of the proposal is also exquisite, generally according to the rules of Confucianism, eight, sixteen, thirty-two, sixty-four, and so on. Although the more the bride price, the more important the man attaches to the woman, the quality of the bride price is also very important. Although the Zhang family is only eight dowry gifts, it is quite good in terms of preciousness, and it also shows that the Zhang family attaches great importance to Xia Shi, a Confucian disciple.

Wu Lao Er pursed his lips, very disdainful in his heart. With just this little bit of stuff, you still dare to rob your daughter-in-law with Lao Tzu? whispered a few words to Yuan Jiang, who was standing aside, and Yuan Jiang took his things out with a wicked smile.

At this time, everyone's eyes were all focused on Wu Laoer, and even the people of the Xia family were looking at him, hoping that the dowry he brought would not be too bad, otherwise whether it was the Xia family or the Wu family, this face would be lost. Even Boss Wu didn't have confidence, and he was scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry, completely ignoring the appearance of the Legalist disciples. Seeing that Wu Lao Er didn't care, Jian Sanniang secretly said something in her husband's ear, Wu Lao Da looked at his wife suspiciously, and then looked at Wu Lao Er, and slowly quieted down.

After a while, Yuan Jiang and Zhang San came in, followed by one person, and all three of them were holding gift boxes in their hands. Yuan Jiang stepped forward first and handed the gift list to the butler who sang the ceremony.

The housekeeper only glanced at it, his breathing became short, he first glanced up at Wu Lao Er, and then glanced at Xia Shi. As a housekeeper, it doesn't matter if it's a subordinate or not, no one wants their owner to be humiliated by others. Especially if you sign a deed of sale, the main family is your own home, as long as the main family is not too harsh on people, there are very few people who redeem themselves.

The housekeeper first adjusted his breathing, and then shouted vigorously: "The Wu family sings a salute, and the thin salute is sixty-four orders." ”

"A pair of green jade Yanyang pens, eight ingots of blue flag fragrant concubine ink, sixty-six knives of red sun Lijiang paper, a pair of yellow inkstones in Huangshitian, a violet illuminated night jade lion paperweight, a true copy of "Lu Ziyue", a true copy of "Extreme Challenge", and a unique copy of "Dictionary of Hundred Schools of Thought"

When the butler sang this, the atmosphere in the whole living room was already extremely noisy. Except for the matchmaker and the subordinates, I'm afraid there is no one here who doesn't know the value of these eight dowries. What Wu Lao Er ordered in Yuan Jiang's ear just now was to bring these things in first, in order to slap his face! Don't you think your eight gifts are very good? I will not tell you the same thing, mine is a hundred times more precious than yours.

Indeed, the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. brought by Wu Lao Er are all fine products from various countries, and they are definitely carefully selected by Wu Lao Er in the treasure house of King Zhao. Any one of them is more precious than the eight pieces brought by Zhang Baibai, especially the last three classics, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rare treasures.

The Zhang brothers were on the spot, not only the two brothers, but also the future father-in-law of Wu Laoer, Xia Shi, who was frightened. Because Boss Wu was a disciple of the Legalist family, he was not too excited, and the three brothers of the Xia family trembled, eager to rush forward immediately to see if the housekeeper had made a mistake.

Regardless of these people, the butler's singing continued. Except for Yuan Jiang and Zhang San standing aside, the other four brocade guards generally brought in the dowry gifts one by one.

"A piece of blood jade coral, white jade, jasper, black jade, topaz, purple jade, red jade, blue jade, one golden horse, one jasper beckoning tree, one jade cabbage, and one agate to create a pen holder"

Listening to the treasures singing out of the butler's mouth, everyone was almost demented.

Looking at the eight horses of different shapes and colors, the green and flawless fortune tree, Zhang Qianqian twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered to his younger brother: "Don't look at it, let's go!" ”

Zhang Baiyi stared at the red eyes, pulled Zhang Yiyi's sleeve, and said fiercely: "I don't believe these are true!" I don't believe it anymore, and I'll check the authenticity of these things later. ”

Zhang Qianqian didn't want to lose this face here, if Wu Lao Er dared to propose marriage with fake things, not to mention that Xia Shi only verbally agreed, that is, he would have to break up Shengsheng if he gave a golden wedding and cooked rice! Although Zhang Qianqian didn't know where Wu Lao Er got so many rare treasures, he didn't want to continue to be slapped in the face here. hatefully said to Zhang Baibai: "The snapping mouth doesn't make a sound, right?" Still doesn't hurt? Don't be embarrassed here, okay! ”

Even if Zhang Baiyi was unconvinced by 10,000 in his heart, he didn't dare to have a hard top with Zhang 1000 at this time. Looking at his eldest brother's redder eyes, as if he was going to eat people. Zhang Baibai muttered something, and was about to leave with the strength of his eldest brother.

It's a pity that it's easy to get in and hard to get out, Zhang San and Yuan Jiang stood aside because of Wu Laoer's special instructions, they must not leave the people of the Zhang family, and they must be allowed to wait for the end of the singing ceremony before leaving. Wu Lao Er wants to slap his face to the end!

"Get out of the way!" Zhang Qianqian is like a hungry wolf who wants to eat people.

Yuan Jiang said in a low voice but firmly: "I'm sorry Mr. Zhang, our Lord Wu is afraid that the dowry on the carriage outside will be a little accidental, and it is not easy to find it." Please Zhang Gongzi and the others stay here first, and after the singing, my family will personally send a few people out. ”

"Hmph, you guys"

Zhang Baiyi wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Zhang Yiyi. He could see that they couldn't get out today until the matter was over. But at this time, he was not surprised, he didn't believe that Wu Lao Er would do anything to their brothers. It's nothing more than a little more loss of face, I've lost enough face today, it doesn't matter if I have more, I will slowly get it back later.

The few people who came with the Zhang family brothers regretted their death at this time, not because they were afraid that they would be implicated in any accident, but because today they saw that the Zhang family brothers were so embarrassed, and it spread out in the future, and they couldn't argue with it. After today, the friendship between several people and Zhang Qianqian may end here, and no one will be able to see the whole process of slapping their faces calmly.

The singing ceremony over there has come to an end, "10,000 copper coins, 10,000 silver coins, 10,000 gold coins, 10,000 white jade ancient coins, a box of jade books and gold books, and a copy of the ancient Mojia "Craftsman""

In the end, the butler took two breaths and said in a loud voice: "The pure gold hollow life-size statue is covered with a golden jade robe!" ”

After the housekeeper shouted loudly, as if even the internal organs had been sucked away, he took two breaths, walked up to Old Man Xia, and presented a thick stack of gift sheets to Xia Shi with both hands.

"The singing ceremony is over, please taste it."

Xia Shi rubbed his sour eyes because he hadn't blinked for too long, took the gift list with both hands, and trembled his lips but didn't know what to say. The housekeeper whispered a reminder, and Xia Shi reacted.

"Virtuous nephew, this、Is this too much"

Wu Lao Er laughed and said: "Uncle Mingjian, Ke'er is an uncle and aunt who have worked hard for more than ten years before he was raised as an adult, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the treasure of the second elder." Now that the little nephew has come to propose marriage, he wants to marry such a baby back home, and the little nephew feels that no matter how much dowry he takes, it is not too much. It's just that the little nephew has been out of the palace for less than a year, and his net worth is poor, thanks to the donation of King Zhao and a group of friends, he came up with such things. I hope my uncle won't be too polite. Please also rest assured that the little nephew will treat Ke'er well and will not let her suffer the slightest grievance! ”

This is an old saying, and it is also Wu Lao Er who will pack tickets for the Xia family again.

Wu Lao Er has always felt that acting should be done completely, but now that the Zhang brothers have not left, of course they will continue to slap their faces.

"Two Brother Zhang, I don't know how these small gifts are better than the generous gifts brought by Brother Zhang?"

Generally speaking, the gift list of the proposal should be written with the words 'a certain family, how many orders are thin (thick) gifts'. Wu Laoer's gift list is written as a thin gift, while the Zhang family writes a generous gift. Writing a generous gift is not arrogant or disrespectful, but writing the word "generous gift" on the gift list is actually to show that "it is not easy for us to come up with such a dowry, even if the gift is not good, please smile on your face".

It's just that for the Zhang family, is this kind of 'generous gift' really not easy? Wu Lao Er doesn't think so, just look at Zhang Baibai's arrogance, if the Zhang family doesn't have some capital, will he dare.

"Hmph, I can't tell where your stuff was kidnapped! It's just the daughter of a low-class Confucian family, and how much is it worth. ”

"One Hundred"

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Without waiting for Zhang Qianqian to reprimand his younger brother for not choosing his words, Wu Lao Er had already moved, and he didn't give anyone a chance to react at all, and directly four big-eared thunderbolts slapped Zhang Baiyi's face. No matter how arrogant Zhang Baibai is, he is just a bit of a posture reader, no matter how hard his mouth is, his body is not as good as the "wild boar brother" that Wu Lao Er met when he was a hero to save the United States, and he was directly knocked out by Wu Lao Er.

Zhang Qianqian's eyes widened angrily, and he held his younger brother and glared at Wu Lao Er viciously. And Wu Lao Er touched his right hand for a long time, and looked at Zhang Qianqian with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He wished that Zhang Qianqian would say something excessive, but his left hand had not yet opened. It's a pity that Zhang Qianqian has quite a city government, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Can I leave this time?" ”

"The door is there, go slowly, don't send it." Wu Lao Er's face was arrogant and unchecked, and his fingers pointed at the door casually.

Zhang Yiqian glared at Wu Lao Er and gritted his teeth and said, "There will be a period later!" ”

"Heh, villain, don't say such things, otherwise I won't be embarrassed to see you next time?"

"Hmph, let's go!" Saying that, Zhang Qianqian took the lead and walked outside.
