Because he had just returned to Chang'an City and was involved in his marriage with Qin Mo'er, Zhao Yunze did not stay overnight in the arsenal on the first day of his attendance, but returned to Chang'an City early.

Now that Zhao Yunze is back, the personal guards led by Liu Yinghao naturally performed their duties again and became Zhao Yunze's followers.

Regarding the abduction of Zhao Yunze, Liu Yinghao and others felt deeply guilty. Su Dingfang, the captain of the Internal Security Regiment of the Arsenal Special Administration, was also very annoyed by this matter. After the incident, he severely reprimanded Liu Yinghao and other members of the personal guards, and rewarded each with 30 military sticks.

Zhao Yunze comforted the guards and said, I was careless that day, and it has nothing to do with you. The brethren did not lose anything, and that was the best result.

When he returned home, Zhao Yunze was surprised to see Cheng Yanjin at his home.

"General Cheng, you came to my house again to eat" Zhao Yunze asked Cheng weakly.

"Shit, your food is delicious, what's the matter," Cheng Yanjin immediately scolded Zhao Yunze. But then he smiled shyly again: "That's right, your family's food is indeed better than mine." Originally, I still wanted to leave after explaining things to you, but since you want to invite me to dinner, then I can't refute your face. Ate at your house tonight. Hurry up and shout the bright moon and Caixia to get vegetables"

As soon as Zhao Yunze heard Cheng Biting Jin's words, he suddenly wanted to slap his big mouth. It's okay to joke with Cheng Lao Fairy, are you very familiar with others, it's okay now, get into trouble

"General Cheng, do you have something to explain to Yu Mou" Zhao Yunze hurriedly asked Cheng Yanjin, but he never mentioned the food.

"You arrange for Mingyue Caixia to cook first, and then I will tell you the purpose of my coming to your house." Cheng Yanjin said with a cheap smile.

Zhao Yunze had no choice, so he had to let Mingyue Caixia prepare the wine and food. As soon as Mingyue Caixia walked out of the living room, Zhao Yunze hurriedly chased them out and explained a few words to them.

After returning to the living room, Zhao Yunze added tea to Cheng Yanjin, and asked, "General Cheng can talk about things now?"

Cheng Biting Jin said: "Tomorrow is the day of Mu Xiu, you find an elder to take you to my second brother Qin's house to pay a gift." Remember, you have to be there before noon. ”

Zhao Yunze was stunned, "It's so fast."

"There are so many etiquettes before you get married, if you don't hurry, you don't want to get rid of the status of a bachelor before the year." Cheng Yanjin didn't have a good airway. Fortunately, Comrade Lao Cheng didn't know the term "single dog".

"However, I don't have any close relatives and elders in my family, who should I find to accompany me to the Yigong Mansion to pay the wedding gift" Zhao Yunze was in trouble. "Otherwise, you will come with me"

"Fart, you're going to marry my niece, I'll accompany you to the dowry, what's going on, my niece is so worthless, and we have to catch up with your kid."

After scolding Zhao Yunze, Cheng Biting Jin said again: "You can find Yu Chi Lao Hei." Stupid"

"Yes, yes, how did I forget Uncle Wei Chi." Zhao Yunze suddenly realized.

Cheng Biting Jin glanced at Zhao Yunze and said, "Uncle Wei Chi, you call it so affectionately." My uncle, who is serious, didn't hear you call me uncle. ”

"Haven't you paid the change of mouth fee yet," Zhao Yunze said with a smile.

Cheng Biting Jin's big slap was raised, and it was about to fall on Zhao Yunze's head. But he immediately withdrew his palm, nodded and said, "That's right, I can't let you change your words so easily." You're going to have to kowtow to me a few times. ”

"You have to knock your head, but you have to wait for the day you meet you." Zhao Yunze said.

decided on the candidate to accompany Zhao Yunze to the gift, and Cheng Yanjin explained to Zhao Yunze many issues that should be paid attention to when accepting the lottery.

After listening to Cheng Biting Jin's story, Zhao Yunze scratched his head and said: "General Cheng, it's easy to say other things, but this wild goose is in winter, where do you let me go to get the wild goose alive?"

It turned out that the ancients were Cai, and the man came to the door to bring a pair of live geese. The ceremonial priest fainted and noted: "Faint, send down the Nacai, use the goose."

Because of this custom, most of the ancient northerners held the bride ceremony before the autumn. First, live geese are easy to find; Second, after the lottery, you can officially marry in the winter slack time, without delaying the work.

However, not all of them are held in the fall. As mentioned above, the ancient government paid attention to population reproduction, and women must marry when they reach a certain age, otherwise the government will punish them. Therefore, some people who are in a hurry to marry a girl do not care about whether they need geese or not to use when they are in the lottery. Etiquette is dead, people are alive, and there is always a workaround.

But Cheng Yanjin didn't tell Zhao Yunze how to work, he glared at Zhao Yunze directly, and said, "Then I don't care." You go to Wei Chi Laohei to discuss a solution."

Cheng Biting Jin This is the score of the woman's elders, Zhao Yunze saw this, and he no longer pestered Cheng Biting Jin.

At this moment, Caixia entered the living room and said that the food and drinks had been prepared.

"Then what are you waiting for, bring it up" Cheng Yanjin directly took the lead.

When the dishes were served, Cheng Yanjin was dumbfounded.

"Zhao Pengyu, you just use these things to entertain me, Lao Cheng, you feed the rabbits" Cheng Yanjin pointed to the dishes on the table and said angrily.

Let's take a look at what Zhao Yunze used to entertain Cheng Yanjin. There are a total of four dishes, namely stewed Chinese cabbage, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, cold Chinese cabbage heart, and vinegared Chinese cabbage. Woad, that is, the vegetable that later generations called "cabbage".

"Alas, don't hide it from General Cheng, a certain family is about to be unable to open the pot. Just the two herbs that I cooked tonight were borrowed by Mingyue from Fang Zhi's house next door," Zhao Yunze said with a bitter face.

"You kid, don't cry poor with me" Cheng Biting Jin was annoyed, "You are a dignified seven-grade official, if you can't open the pot at home, then the ordinary people of Datang will not all starve to death"

"General Cheng, a certain has just become an official, and the office given by the imperial court has not yet been produced, and the food and drink of the whole family depends on that little money. Alas, poor," Zhao Yunze continued to cry poor. "See, so-and-so is going to get married, but now, not to mention the money for hiring and marrying, even the money for tomorrow's gift can't be taken out."

Cheng Biting Jin's eyes gurgled for a moment, and then he raised his big slap and shone Zhao Yunze's head all at once.

"You kid, are you worried about the income of the furniture factory" Cheng Yanjin finally understood Zhao Yunze's intentions.

"Hey, General Cheng didn't say that I forgot, I still have shares in the furniture factory," Zhao Yunze said as if he suddenly remembered.

Immediately, he said to Cheng Yanjin with a cheap smile: "Look, it's time for me to use money now, do you give me the dividends of this year's furniture factory first?"

"The dividends of the furniture factory haha, don't worry about you kid," Cheng Yanjin laughed.

"General Cheng, you are a kind person, you can't swallow up a certain dividend," Zhao Yunze hurriedly said.

Cheng Yanjin said: "Peng Yu, you also know that our furniture factory is all furniture made for the palace this year. His Majesty said that the money for the purchase of these furniture would be deducted from his dividends. Your Majesty didn't give us a copper plate, tell me, does the furniture factory still have income this year?"

Lao Li, Lao Li, you are too good at doing business Zhao Yunze scolded Li Shimin in his heart after listening to Cheng Biting Jin's words.

"No, didn't we receive a lot of congratulatory gifts and deposits when our furniture factory opened," Zhao Yunze remembered the money again.

Cheng Yanjin said angrily: "The congratulatory gifts and deposits are all used to purchase wood and pay the wages of craftsmen." If you don't believe it, go to the furniture factory to check the accounts. ”

Zhao Yunze was blinded now.

After a while, he said to Cheng Yanjin with a shy face: "General Cheng, but it costs a lot of money for me to get married." Otherwise, you can advance my dividends for next year."

"Next year, next year, next year, next year, next year," Cheng Yanjin will never be fooled.

"Forget it, it's better to wait until next year when you have money to get married. Anyway, Mo'er won't run away again," Zhao Yunze played a scoundrel.

"Zhao boy, you can't be so unauthentic. My second brother Qin has already asked Miss Qin to live in his house, and many officials in the court have already known about your marriage to my niece, if you leave it alone, where will my second brother Qin's face go?"

"But I don't have any money, how can I get married?"

"You can borrow debts, whose family doesn't borrow money from the east to the west for marriage."

"Then General Cheng will lend me some money," Zhao Yunze finally smiled.

"Uh, you kid has gone around in such a big circle, waiting for me here" Cheng Yanjin finally came back to his senses.
