Chapter 14: Before Marriage

Zhao Lei got the first property in the Northern Song Dynasty, but what followed was depression after getting the property.

The big courtyard with two openings and four sides, now Zhao Lei is alone, and the original subordinates have all been fired by the old club, Zhao Lei is about to marry Tian Lan, he can't be busy with all the things alone! Besides, you can't let Tian Lan marry Zhao Lei, and be responsible for cleaning the room, laundry and cooking! Tian Lan is also the official eunuch of the Meishan Tian family, she has been pampered since she was a child, although she knows some medical skills, but other things, there is a lack of exercise, Zhao Lei doesn't want to be scolded to death by her father-in-law Tian Yan, so more than a dozen servants are always indispensable.

The Northern Song Dynasty had completely eliminated the slave system, and divided the people of the Northern Song Dynasty into two categories: the main households and the customers, the so-called main households, that is, the owners of land and assets, the landlords who owned the land or the merchants of the workshop, including the official households; And the customers, that is, those landless peasants and the working class, the peasants work for the landlords for a long time, and live by renting the landlord's land, while more people do not want to farm, so they go to the big cities to join all kinds of workshops, work for those merchants, all kinds of shopkeepers, the subordinates of the rich family, are all working customers, merchants and rich people have to pay their wages.

However, the customers of the Northern Song Dynasty were not the slaves of landlords and merchants, they were also recognized by the Northern Song Dynasty court as household organizers, who undertook most of the labor and paid two taxes, so they were nicknamed Changgong by Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei is in great need of long-term work now, he has carefully calculated, a family must have two old mothers, responsible for laundry and cleaning; a cook, who is responsible for cooking; two maids, serving Tian Lan; Four family members, responsible for various body activities; There must also be a steward who is responsible for managing the subordinates.

Ten subordinates, plus Zhao Lei and Tian Lan, the best combination! It is just in the range that the small courtyard bears.

But Zhao Lei didn't know where to find those subordinates, he was not familiar with Meishan, as long as he went to the teahouse again, looked for those aunts, and found a few long-term workers.

The matter of finding a long-term worker is very smooth, there are many idle people who are idle at home in Meishan, and there are many customer farmers, who are dissatisfied with the landlord's rent is too high, and they all go to the city to work, so in a short time, Zhao Lei picked a suitable person.

Two sturdy old mothers, a chef who once helped cook in a restaurant, two passable-looking peasant girls, four strong men who looked honest, and a forty-year-old middle-aged man housekeeper named Kang'an, Zhao Lei found ten people, signed a contract, and went to the county government to remark.

"You must not beat and scold your subordinates at will, you must not default on labor money at will, you must not dismiss your subordinates at will, and you must not ......" Zhao Lei read the same regulations as the Northern Song Dynasty trade union regulations in his hand, and smiled bitterly, how is this not like inviting subordinates, as if looking for an aunt and grandmother to go back to offer!

Seeing Zhao Lei smiling bitterly, the official next to him immediately smiled and said, "Childe, look at the back of the contract remarks!" ”

Zhao Lei opened the remarks of the contract, and it was written on the back that the master's power over his subordinates, subordinates can be whipped if they are disobedient, dismissed if they are lazy, and sent to the official for investigation and so on.

It seems that the Northern Song Dynasty is still quite democratic, and both the master and the subordinates have rights and obligations, not bad!

Zhao Lei immediately signed a contract remark and led the ten subordinates back to their home on South Street.

………………………………

Zhao Lei settled the ten subordinates, and it was time for lunch, although there were subordinates at home, but there were no things such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc., and they had to buy them, so they were just about to go to the South Street Restaurant to order a table of banquets, and when they went out, they met Li Xing with Tian Lan and more than a dozen ox carts behind him.

"I've seen Master Li below!" Zhao Lei saw Li Xing and Tian Lan, who was a little shy behind him, and said hello to Li Xing first, but he didn't expect Li Xing to leave immediately and hurriedly leave.

Seeing Li Xing away, Zhao Lei immediately said happily to Tian Lan: "Senior sister! Why did you come so soon? ”

"Senior brother! Dad is afraid that you don't know the rules of Meishan, so let me help you buy an estate? Tian Lan said coquettishly.

"Why don't you just buy a property? Do you still need your help? Zhao Lei said disapprehantly.

Tian Lan looked at the two-open courtyard behind Zhao Lei, and said to Zhao Lei with a smile: "Senior brother! This yard can't be the property you bought, right? ”

"Not bad! What do you think! I also invited the next person, and then purchased some homes, it is a complete warm little home, and then I will wait for you, the hostess, to marry. Zhao Lei looked at Tian Lan and said with a smile.

Tian Lan pointed at Zhao Lei's forehead, and said angrily: "Fortunately, my father let me come, otherwise you would have messed up the matter, senior brother." ”

Hearing Tian Lan's words, Zhao Lei asked suspiciously: "What's wrong!" This house is very nice! It's new, the location is good, and it's spacious enough, so what's the problem? ”

"Spacious! Senior brother is embarrassed to say that it is spacious, such a small courtyard, but it can only accommodate more than a dozen people, how will I live when I get married? "Tian Lan has followed Tian Yan to study medicine since he was a child, and his personality is very strong, and he often mixes with men such as the Tian brothers, so he acts very boldly.

If it was a native of the Northern Song Dynasty, I am afraid that Tian Lan would have begun to teach a lesson now, but Zhao Lei, who is from modern times, did not feel that there was anything wrong with Tian Lan's actions, so he asked very casually: "What's wrong!" I invited ten people, plus you and me, twelve people, enough to live! ”

"Senior brother is so stupid! Don't you know, the Tian family is a big family in Meishan, how can my father let me marry alone! There must be people and maids who are married, as well as fields and industries, such a small yard, those who come with me to marry live there! Tian Lan explained carefully to Zhao Lei.

Dowry! As soon as Zhao Lei thought of the marriage, he thought of Liu Bei marrying Miss Mi during the Three Kingdoms, and the things that the Mi family married at that time were money, grain, land, and 3,000 people, and Zhaojun went out of the fortress and Wencheng entered the Tu Domain, and the dowry for the dowry stretched for ten miles, countless, but he never thought that in the Northern Song Dynasty, there would be a lot of dowry for marrying a young lady from a large family in a state and county.

"No, it won't! How many things will the Tian family marry? Zhao Lei asked in surprise.

"The Tian family mainly makes a living by practicing medicine, there are not many fields, and most of them are medicine fields, it is estimated that the field for marriage is only about one hectare, and there are a lot of people, the maids who grew up with me, the old mother who has served me since childhood, plus the miscellaneous servants, I am afraid there are more than a dozen people! There are also money, grain, cloth, gold and silver jewelry, at least ten cars, in order to match the status of the Ueda family in Meishan County, if it is too shabby, I am afraid that it will be laughed at by the neighbors! Tian Lan counted his fingers and said one by one.

Zhao Lei finally fainted, he didn't expect the Tian family to be able to marry so many things, so he frowned and looked at the house behind him and said, "What about this house?" Buy it and buy a new one? ”

"There are no outsiders settled in Meishan County, and it has been a long time since anyone bought a house, and it is estimated that they will not be able to sell it." Tian Lan looked at the brand-new house, shook her head and said.

At this time, Zhao Lei saw that he had bought the small courtyard of the neighbor on the left and right of the house, his eyes rolled, and he said to Tian Lan: "Senior sister! Do you think this works? Buy the yards on the left and right of this house, and then open it up, and it will become a courtyard with six openings and twelve combinations, and it will definitely be able to live so many people at that time! ”

"That's a good note! But will the neighbors on the left and right be willing to sell? Tian Lan asked happily and suspiciously.

"As long as the price is high enough, of course they sell, 500 guan to buy a yard, they are buying houses in other places in Meishan, and they will definitely sell it if they change hands for 100 guan money!" Zhao Lei said affirmatively.

Seeing that Tian Lan agreed, Zhao Lei instructed his family to move the medicine boxes that Tian Lan brought from the Taoist temple into the house, and then asked the South Street Restaurant to send a banquet and invite the neighbors to eat together.

After being full of wine and food, Zhao Lei offered to buy their house, as he expected, the price of 500 yuan, no one could resist this temptation, and they all readily agreed to relocate and sell the left and right yards to Zhao Lei.

went to the county government again, and after remarks and signed, Zhao Lei finally satisfied Tian Lan with the pre-wedding preparations, and the next thing was the complicated wedding ceremony in the Northern Song Dynasty.

When Zhao Lei was preparing to get married, Meishan Fugu Qiu, who was recuperating in the Taoist temple, came to the door.

After a cup of tea, the busy Zhao Lei took the time to meet the obese Meishan Fugu Qiu.

Gu Qiu is wearing a purple silk placket today, similar to a short-sleeved shirt a thousand years later, with white gauze pants underneath, which looks very cool, but in the hot summer, Gu Qiu is still sweating profusely and flooded.

Looking at Gu Qiu, who was sweating profusely, Zhao Lei raised his glass and signaled to drink together, and asked puzzledly: "Lord Gu came to visit at this time, why did you come?" ”

Hearing Zhao Lei's words, Gu Qiu said with a sneer: "It was the old fairy who asked me to come, after midsummer, my red eye disease became more and more severe, and the old fairy said that he was terminally ill, and it was difficult to heal with a needle stone, and Doctor Zhao may have treatment methods and medicines, so I came to find Doctor Zhao." ”

The red eye disease in Gu Qiu's mouth is the congestion of the fundus caused by high blood pressure.

Seeing Gu Qiu's submissive appearance, Zhao Lei smiled secretly in his heart, when he recommended blood pressure medication to Gu Qiu, but was rejected by Gu Qiu, at that time, Gu Qiu claimed to be his own official, and called Zhao Lei a milky boy, and he was very contemptuous, and now he saw that Zhao Lei had successfully rescued Linyang Orion and Meishan County Order, and his reputation had risen sharply, and he came to ask for medicine in a low voice.

Gu Qiu is too rich, Zhao Lei really doesn't want to let go of this opportunity to eat a big family, but in addition to high blood pressure, Gu Qiu also has heart disease, fatty liver, asthma and other obesity and wealth diseases, there is no hope for a cure, the only way is to control it.

"Lord Gu! There is really no way to eradicate all kinds of serious diseases in your body! But there is still a way to control it and not let it do! If Master Gu is willing to do what he says, he will guarantee that Lord Gu's illness will not recover within ten years! Zhao Lei said to Gu Qiu.

When Gu Qiu heard Zhao Lei's words, he was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I must obey the orders of the divine doctor!" ”

According to Gu Qiu's condition, Zhao Lei was prescribed some symptomatic Western medicine by him, and then solemnly instructed him to lose weight and exercise methods, and slaughtered him again 10,000 times, and sent away the elated Gu Qiu.
