The wedding is not over yet, early. The next day, the bride should worship on the day, worship the mirror of the mirror, this is called the bride's worship hall, and then worship the elders and relatives, including Qin Zaixiong. There are also gifts such as colored satin, and the elders also have to return the gift. Then the son-in-law returned to Yue's house and said that he had passed through the door.

There are also wine banquets, but they are mainly women, and there are not many, and there are only about 20 tables today.

Mainly yesterday's Shun store's usage.

How much money was used, Song Jiu wouldn't say, but there were smart people outside, and Song Jiu's glass accounts had been announced, or the money in the Hezhou treasury, everyone knew how much there was. As a result, eight is inseparable from ten, and it is really calculated, almost 180,000 yuan. The cost of the banquet amounted to 110,000 yuan. Song Jiu used 100,000 yuan to distribute dividends, because he used 50,000 yuan for the test, so he embezzled 50,000 yuan of savings in early summer.

It can't be completely said that Song Jiu spent more than 180,000 yuan, especially Shundian, which is a famous gold cave in the capital, and it is also one of the blackest places in the heart, the profits are amazing, and nearly 20,000 yuan will be redistributed to Song Jiu. There are also more than 20,000 congratulatory gifts, as well as more than 70,000 dowries from the Pan family, if the eleven pairs of twins are included, it is a dowry of nearly 80,000 yuan.

Song Jiu is a little better, he still needs to use money next, and it is not a lack of money, but he can turn it around.

There was some sadness over there, the Pan family got face, but in the blink of an eye, they changed from a well-off family to a well-off family, and almost slipped into a destitute family. And it's not over, after the third day of marriage, the woman's family must send colored satin oil honey and steamed cakes, there is a metaphor for the good relationship between husband and wife, this money is not much, but it can be related to the utensils that hold oil and honey. It's already so, and it can't be anticlimactic. Therefore, it is necessary to use a gold jar. This is called the Three Pilgrimage Rites. And then again, seven or nine days after the marriage. The son-in-law comes to the door to worship again, and the woman must set up a banquet to entertain the new son-in-law, and after the ceremony, the woman's family prepares a drum to send the son-in-law home. Also, when the full moon is celebrated, the son-in-law's family has a banquet, but the mother's family must give a lot of moon gifts.

It wasn't until after this day that the mother's family didn't have to accompany the money, and the matchmaker's task was successfully completed. The two sides give a big red envelope, although there is etiquette in the future, it is a normal exchange between relatives. If you have more money, you will take a little more, and if you have less money, you will take a little less.

The problem is that Song Jiu held a banquet in Shundian, and the Pan family's Huilang banquet must also be held in Shundian nine days later. There won't be too many banquets in this one, but there are also twenty or thirty tables, even according to Song Jiu's wedding banquet standard, and one table will cost four hundred and fifty yuan. Many dishes that day were blocked by a large number of people and insufficient ingredients. Otherwise, Song Jiu's wedding banquet would increase by two or three hundred yuan per table. What reason did the Pan family find to block it? Therefore, only high, not low. But it is not easy to say that since the end of the Tang Dynasty, there have been some ugly phenomena of dowry fraud, so the laws of the Song Dynasty are strictly regulated. In the event of a divorce between the spouses, the dowry must be returned to the woman.

Pan Li'er didn't take a car, so she wanted to ride a horse with Song Jiu.

Song Jiu looked at Dr. Yan and Dr. Zhang. The two doctors pretended not to see it.

Qin Zaixiong said hello: "This is oil and honey, go ahead." ”

He's a brute. It didn't matter, Song Jiu looked at the two matchmakers again. The matchmaker is in a better mood today, yesterday's century wedding made them go home and didn't sleep well all night, they thought about it, and one of them said: "Jiulang, today is the day of worship, mainly in your house to worship the elder, there is not much etiquette on the mother's side, you husband and wife are married, and there is nothing wrong with riding a horse." ”

They have presided over the marriages of many noble families, saying that there is no trouble, about the same will be nothing, and the two came to Pan's house on horseback.

The relationship between the husband and wife is good, Pan Mei and his wife are very happy, but Pan Mei is still worried, he is not Shen Yilun, but he is not Wang Quanbin, although he will make a little money when he marches and fights, he has not made too much money, otherwise Zhao Pu will not say that he and Cao Bin are good generals. In addition, the family has a big business, and the expenses are not small. If you continue to do this, you have to be very nervous.

Pan Mei wanted to be faced, but Song Jiu couldn't say it, so she took the opportunity to whisper to Tian: "Mother-in-law, I deliberately put the Lang banquet nine days later, nine days later is the first day ......of the first lunar month, early in the morning I want to come to pay New Year's greetings, and there are more than 10,000 taels of gold and silver in the congratulatory gift."

The new son-in-law greeted the New Year in the first year, and the gifts brought should not be too shabby, and the dowry of the congratulatory gifts and the Pan family was varied, including some ivory products, some mahogany furniture, but also, many cloths, which could not be used for New Year's greetings, were too cystic. Some gold and silver jewelry, gold and silver jewelry can not be dissolved, it is okay not to use it, and it can be given as a congratulatory gift to others in the future. Unless the jewelry is pawned, it is not easy to value, but that is too much of a loss. However, some people directly sent silver ingots and golden melon seeds, including the Pan family, and there was also some cash in the dowry. There are a lot, but they haven't had time to check them one by one, and Song Jiu doesn't know how much. The proportion of gold is small, but it is valuable.

More than 10,000 taels of money, if turned into gold and silver, it is only a few thousand taels, and a car will pull it over, who knows what is in the road.

"How good is that?"

"Mother-in-law, I married Li'er, and I will be a family in the future, why should I be so clear. This money is a huge amount of money in ordinary people's homes, and in my hands, it is just a number. A moment over, a moment over. ”

Tian couldn't laugh or cry.

"Mother-in-law, Li'er is also worried, I discussed with Li'er on the road, go back and take inventory, and scrape together 15,000 yuan to come over, mainly gold, but don't tell General Pan, just say that you still have money in your hand."

"It's too much." Tian muttered.

had to stay for dinner, and the Pan brothers came over one by one to accompany the wine, and Li'er said, "Don't pour him wine." ”

I was drunk yesterday, and the hijab was still uncovered in the morning, but Pan Li'er would not say whether she was alive or dead. After eating, I chatted with Pan Mei for a while, and rode home with Da Hei Li'er. But as soon as he arrived at Yujie, he encountered a broom star, Wang Jixun took a dozen house slaves and blocked Song Jiu. Song Jiu reined in his horse and looked at him coldly. There are many people in Wang Jixun, and some of the domestic slaves even wear a Pu knife in their waists, but Song Jiu doesn't believe that so many ordinary people are staring at him, and Wang Jixun dares to do it. Even outside the city, he didn't dare to make a move and kill a third-division judge, Wang Jixun really didn't know the consequences of the road?

Wang Jixun said: "Little lady of the Pan family, this red dress is gorgeous, but I promise to make you a widow within three years!" ”

After speaking, he scattered with the house slaves. Pan Li'er was so angry that her whole body trembled, this was the second day of the wedding, and the two finally had the name of husband and wife. But there is not yet a husband and wife, and I heard this sentence.

Song Jiu looked at Wang Jixun's back. said coldly: "Li'er, don't worry about him. If God lets him die, he will make him crazy first. ”

Zhao Kuangyin did something wrong in this matter, if his brother-in-law offended the common people by killing slaves and maids, he would have offended many nobles by robbing relatives, and then look at Zhao Kuangyi and related officials, in order to hide for these nobles, they robbed the daughter of that family and did not announce it, plus Zhao Kuangyi's various means, at least in the hearts of many people in the capital, they are drifting a little bit. And what about Luoyang in the future......

One Wang Jixun is equivalent to Zhao Kuangyin sending Zhao Kuangyi's thousands of troops and horses, Song Jiu was angry, and he was not even ready to be impeached, and it would not work.

We'll see.

Pan Li'er said worriedly: "Jiulang, you have to be careful when you travel in the future, he doesn't have soldiers in his hands, but Shi Hanqing has soldiers in his hands." ”

"Shi Hanqing is smarter than him. Don't worry," Song Jiu said. He didn't even say anything about Pan Li'er insider, he wished that Shi Hanqing and Wang Jixun would get close, but this old boy was not fooled. Song Jiu began to spend another sum. called a few supervisors, gave them 30,000 yuan, and asked someone to copy the book. You can buy it in common bookstores, but most of them are the Thirteen Classics and historical records. But many unpopular books have become rare books and are in the collections of some people's homes. These books have been going on over time. will gradually disappear into the long river of history.

In fact, some books are very valuable, especially some books on natural sciences and crafts.

It is unlikely that you want to print, the cost is too high, you can only copy by hand, and the hand-copied book is also expensive, you can't count the wages for copying, and you don't need much money for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but others come to copy, you have to count the wages, a book of 100,000 words, at this time, the copying is slow, from copying to proofreading, and it must be a small block, you can only write five or six thousand words a day, and the speed is not slow. It seems that 30,000 yuan is a huge amount, and only 20,000 books can be copied. But when you get to the academy, the problem will be solved.

If a book comes, let the students copy it, and if they practice small block characters, then it can become ten or twenty books, and then bound into a book, and these orphan books will not be lost. They are important, the spark of civilization.

Song Jiu also made a request to Zhao Kuangyin to ask the royal family to also take out those collected books and let the literati copy them, so that these rare books can be kept through more channels, and promised that if he entered the academy in the future, he would copy out several or dozens of books, and take out two copies of each book and give them to Taixue.

This is attaching importance to education, and Zhao Kuangyin immediately agreed.

And continue to spend money.

The Pan family wanted to be faced, and they didn't know how to compensate, so they bought eleven pairs of beautiful twins to marry. The people in the yamen saw that they were moved, so they asked Song Jiu for it. The times are advancing, including twins, they can't really be bought, what they buy is service time, and generally after five years, they will have personal freedom. But during these five years, the master could transfer them to others at will, or go to bed, etc., as long as they did not die, or forced the slaves and maids to commit suicide because of their mistreatment. This is true not only of slaves and maids, but also of concubines and prostitutes, who are not human beings at this time, but a commodity that can be given away or begged for. Unless everyone is like Yuping, who gets the edict of Mrs. Zhao Kuangyinru, no one dares to move.

Song Jiu didn't like this, but in this era, he couldn't oppose it. Therefore, I took the initiative to let these twins find a partner in the schoolhouse, if you don't look for it, you must find it, otherwise I will give you away. In just a few days, nine pairs of beautiful twins were married. It's so expensive, a pair of twins, the Pan family, was bought for seven or eight hundred yuan, almost the same as the head of the line. But in a blink of an eye, she became the daughter-in-law of the student. And it came out of the Song family, and Song Jiu had to take some dowry.

There are two other pairs, the age is too young, one pair is only thirteen years old, and the other pair is only fourteen years old, Song Jiu stayed. and Pan Li'er's two serving maidservants, Zhu'er and Yun'er, in fact, these two maidservants came over and gave them to Song Jiu as concubines, half concubines and half maids, Song Jiu can also give them away. Therefore, Song Jiu also persuaded them to marry, but the two maids disagreed, and said that Pan Li'er had to be served. Song Jiu didn't persuade again, the academy is still early, they meet every day, and their love is early, and there will be outstanding students who are not engaged to make them like. Now that it's being forced, it's not beautiful.

Twenty-four handmaidens, the year has not yet passed, and only six remain.

On the first day of the normal New Year, it is a Huilang ceremony, Song Jiu came with a cart of gifts, and many relatives came to the Pan family, Song Jiu opened some gift boxes, all kinds of exquisite fruits and other gifts. Only a part of it was opened for the guests to watch, and the rest was not opened, and there were more, no one paid attention, Song Jiu asked the servant to carry it to Mrs. Tian's room. The secret is in those unopened boxes. Mrs. Tian made up her mind and took her relatives to Shundian to hold a banquet.

The next day, a large group of girlfriends came, and many people were envious, all of them imagined that Pan Li'er would marry like this, but this was unrealistic, so they clamored Pan Li'er to have a treat, that is, to play in the playground, or to buy a little snack. The request is not excessive, but some people ask Pan Li'er to ask Song Jiu for the key.

The shape of the opera house is so beautiful, especially the slightly pink red, that many women scream after seeing it. However, it has never been opened, and the outside is installed and the inside is not installed. In fact, the interior is almost installed, but it still has to go through a period of debugging, and those invited plays have to be rehearsed non-stop. They don't perform well, and no matter how beautifully decorated the opera house is, it won't work. But when New Year's Day arrived, let's stop together. There were only two keys, one in the hands of the steward and one in the hands of Song Jiu. Together, they invited Pan Li'er to ask Song Jiu for the key so that they could go in and visit.

Pan Li'er hesitated not to answer, and she didn't know if Lu Dao would break Song Jiu's rules.

These women are even more troublesome, especially the little lady of the Song family, who came back from Huazhou again, and came back with Song Hao, who returned to Beijing to take up his post, including his wife and two sons brought back to the capital together. Song Jiu watched her make trouble, so he stared at her little pigeon chest with "bad intentions". (To be continued......)
