Chapter 165: Re-entering the plate
The rented carriage, tied with a red rope, did not dare to give away the flowers, for fear of showing swagger, but there was a red needle embroidery hanging on the curtain, which came from the hand of the woman in the carriage.
It was He Chu who was in charge.
In the past few days, He Chu has always felt that he is very inexplicable.
Inexplicable wind, inexplicable rain, inexplicable sky.
My sister, who has worked hard to take care of her,
A treasure in the eyes of myself and Daddy,
Just because of that kid's extremely abrupt and rude sentence,
I took the initiative to send it to someone's bed!
It's just that you can't have a seizure, because he knows the stubbornness in his sister's bones, that hairpin, she really dares to stab her neck.
get
What's done is done;
You just can't do anything yet,
How do you have a seizure?
Your daughter, your sister-in-law is upside down,
It's like doing business.
You've invested your money in it,
Are you still going to do this business?
If you don't do it, you'll already lose your money, and you won't get anything back.
If you do, you have to continue to buy and sell.
It's no longer extravagant to make money,
It's not even extravagant to expect to return to its original cost,
Now what the He family and the grandfather are asking for,
Just one sentence:
lose
Lao Tzu also has to lose clearly!
Lao He's family is not a well-known figure in Nan'an County, but it is by no means the kind of broken household.
The two of them set up a pork stall together, in fact, there are a lot of inputs.
He Chu is big, he is also good-looking, and his family foundation is not thin, the matchmaker has already come to kiss, those girls, marry in, not to mention anything else, there is meat and fishy all of a sudden, it is enough to attract people!
So
His old He family really can't afford to "sell" his daughter to help his son get married!
After that day,
The two of them closed the stall for a day, but it didn't open, so they drank stuffy wine together at the small table at home.
This cabbage looks so good,
The fence is tight,
Why did you grow legs and run out because of a word?
In the first half of the night, the two of them drank stuffy wine;
I can't figure it out!
In the second half of the night, the two of them drank more and more soberly, and began to discuss the remedy word by word.
Old He Tou said,
Recruit a son-in-law?
He Chu immediately waved his hand:
"Ah Mei refuses."
Lao He Tou wilted all of a sudden, not to mention what other people were catching heads, he really wanted to recruit a son-in-law, and when Renyan caught his head and patrolled the streets again in Nan'an County, don't think about straightening his waist.
The man who slammed the door upside down was half a head shorter in trouble.
Aside a hundred years ago,
The son-in-law is actually treated with a prisoner,
By the king's command,
The son-in-law must be among the conscripts, going to the front line.
Old He Tou can't,
He took out a small wooden box from under the bed and placed it on the table.
In the wooden box, it is the foundation of the old He family.
He Chu watched his father open the box, looked at the jewelry and deeds placed inside, and the rows of silver ingots!
Old He Tou sighed,
Road:
"Since beating your wife and leaving, your father and I have made the biggest living in this life is actually to earn a dowry for you and a dowry for Sisi."
Dowry and dowry, since ancient times, there has been no fixed number.
There are more dowry gifts, which can give his son more room to choose and marry a good lady;
The dowry is thick, and the waist board of my own daughter can be hard and not angry when she marries!
This is the intention of being a father and a mother for the sake of his children,
It's not buying and selling.
"Hoo ........."
He Chu breathed a sigh of relief,
Even if he is the eldest son in the family, he has been following his father to open a stall for so long, he doesn't know that his father has already purchased so many family businesses.
Not to mention the silver jewelry, even those few land deeds outside the city, he didn't know that he still had land!
Lao He pointed to the box, as if he felt guilty about his son, and said in a consultative tone:
"Draw half?"
As the saying goes, whether brothers and sisters are close or not depends on whether they can be a father and mother with a bowl of water.
But according to the atmosphere at this time, the water spilled by the married daughter, to put it bluntly, the family's property will eventually fall on the son.
He Chu shook his head.
Lao Hetou's face sank, and he was ready to open his mouth to scold the beast!
Who would have thought,
He Chu directly held the wine bowl and turned around,
Road:
"That Yan Zhutou's family is not a local, and he doesn't know whether he is rich or poor, if his family is well-off, and his sister's dowry is less, he can't raise his head and talk to his in-laws hard over there;
The big family pays the most attention to the number of etiquette, to put it bluntly, it is also used to the family.
If his family background is average, or even a half-broken settlement, Ah Mei's dowry is less, and he will not be able to do anything, and he will have to follow him to suffer poverty, and he will have to serve his in-laws and husband, and he will have to serve his children in the future.
Ah Mei is in our house, although she helps to cut meat and do something, she is never willing to let her do any heavy work.
It's all for Ah Mei! ”
Lao He was stunned for a moment,
Road:
"Don't you want it?"
He Chu reached out and patted his chest,
Road:
"The girl who wants to be with me He Chu, but she is not old or young, the money is gone, we can earn it again, no matter how bad your son is, he will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law."
Lao He hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself.
In the end, the girl is her own personal little padded jacket, and she is tired every day, and when she looks at her daughter sewing and mending her clothes under the oil lamp, she can think of her mother, as if she is tired all over.
He is reluctant to let his daughter be wronged, not at all.
At last
Lao He slapped the table,
Yell:
"Medium!"
……
Compared with the various preparations of the old He family's "such as facing the enemy",
Yan Zhutou is just like a nobody.
person
You slept,
What's the matter,
Do you still want to eat dry and wipe clean, and don't take any responsibility?
He Chu waited at the door of Yan Zhutou every morning and evening.
urge
Sorry to rush,
I can't say it!
But it's just to stare at you, stare at you, stare at you!
Yan Zhutou is thick-skinned, and he plays haha every time,
Just when He Chu was about to take the butcher knife and go to say again,
Yan Zhutou came over with a shy face,
What for?
borrowed money from my uncle,
What do you borrow money for?
Car rental?
What do you rent a car for?
Go home.
The old He family waited for a long time, and the two of them were so waiting that their brows were about to smoke, and finally they waited for a word from the prospective uncle.
The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws.
This is the number of rites, and the number of rites cannot be abolished!
It's true that the small door is small, but the old He family is also particular.
My uncle has no money,
Borrow!
The big carriage, with carved decorations, three horses, piggyback on a horseman and a servant, Lao He gave an order, desperately killing a pig for nothing, rent!
I have been guarding the greasy shop all my life, in order to straighten my waist in the future, and I have enough confidence!
But Yan Zhutou still stopped it, saying that there was no need to be so extravagant and wasteful.
Old He Tou is not satisfied,
What is waste?
Your Yan Xiaoliu's face is worthless, my old He family, you still need this face!
Lao He Tou directly pointed at Yan Zhutou's face and spitted:
"The old man just wants to let my in-laws meet, although my old He family is not a wealthy family, but if he bullies my daughter, my daughter, there is also a family that can take her back and continue to give birth to her!"
When Lao He said this, it was really comparable to the top of Mount Tai!
Of course
If he knew which family he wanted to compare with,
Will there be today's full of neutrality?
Yan Zhutou was very shameless, and said directly, he was a person, he used to eat and drink, and the filial piety silver collected on the shop was also drunk today, and he really had no balance, and he had to live a good life in the future, and the silver money was taken care of by his daughter-in-law, but the family foundation was not thin, and the money for renting a big car, the old man should save it first, and he would have to come to fight the autumn breeze in the future.
These words choked Lao He Tou half to death!
Straight sissy thief,
I've never seen such a shameless son-in-law!
However, in the end,
The carriage became a pony carriage, the three horses became a horse, the servant woman was gone, and the chariot was replaced by He Chu.
The eldest brother personally escorted his sister to her mother-in-law's house,
In fact
It is also the meaning of looking at Yan Zhutou's family background,
My mother's family has to send someone,
Go and inform me, but don't bully my daughter!
Yan Zhutou sat in the carriage, with his mouth open, eating the dried fruits and peeled peanuts delivered by his little lady from time to time.
The eldest brother who was driving the car looked back from time to time, and when he saw this scene, his heart was a little pantothenic.
Road:
"Ah Mei, you have to spoil him like this!"
Not to mention learning from the deceased old lady of your own family to be the Hedong lion, at least you have to learn what the reader likes to say, raise the board and align the eyebrows, right?
Women are also hard,
Directly:
"My man, I can pet if I want, what's the matter!
It's delicious, if you have the ability, you can quickly find me a sister-in-law, so that she can serve you like this! ”
This was said, but Yan Zhutou was so happy that he couldn't help but lean over his face and kiss his daughter-in-law's blown-up face.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
A kiss came out,
One voice was the eldest brother, who was angry and gave the horse in front of him a whip!
Actually, the eldest brother has a sweetheart.
There are actually quite a few women who want to marry him, but he has returned all the matchmakers.
He took a fancy to the young lady of the bookkeeper,
Whenever I go to the Lord's house to deliver pork,
She'd wait there to see him,
He would also excuse himself to stay a little longer and watch her.
On weekdays, the eldest brother is full of pig smell, but around his waist, he has always tied the sachet embroidered by the young lady herself.
But there are some things,
It can only be buried in the heart.
The door is right,
This door is right!
He Chu once knelt in front of Lao He Tou, saying that he wanted to join the army, wanted to fight on the battlefield to make a name, and wanted to glorify his ancestors.
I want to be able to marry her after being qualified to come back!
But Lao He Tou said:
"If Your Majesty orders a military register, if Da Yan really arrives at that time, his father will not stop you, and his father will even pawn his belongings and go to the blacksmith shop in the city to make a knife for himself, and go with you!
But now, isn't it time yet, for the sake of my father, this stall, this family, I still have to support you. ”
Yan Zhutou, who was sitting in the carriage, heard his daughter-in-law say this,
Laughed:
"What's that?"
He Chu breathed for no reason,
I want to say back:
Is it possible to learn that you let the girl post it upside down?
But it's my own sister who posted it upside down, and I can't say that!
It's really, so angry!
I can only whip the horse again!
Nan'an County is not far from Yanjing City, no need to rush for days and nights, because it is the same day at noon, so I found an inn to rest at night, and set off again the next morning, at noon, I arrived at Yanjing City.
Yan Zhutou took out the documents he had opened with the county government master, made up a reason, and went on a business trip, so he quickly coped with entering the city and was able to enter Beijing.
Capital
It's really big.
Where to drive the carriage carefully, not daring to cross and collide in the slightest.
"Where is your home?"
He Chu asked.
Yan Zhutou didn't answer in a hurry, but looked at the sky and said:
"Have you ever heard of the roast duck in the Quande Building in Beijing?"
He Chu nodded, famous!
"Let's go, let's eat!"
Yan Zhutou decided to take advantage of the broadband broadband of his eldest brother, the friendship of the landlord.
Besides, in the early years, this Quande Building was still his own property.
"Expensive, right?"
He Chu asked.
Yan Zhutou was stunned for a moment, a duck in Quande Building was worth a month's expenses of ordinary people.
Turning his head, he looked at his daughter-in-law.
The woman was considerate and said:
"Husband, the slave family wants to eat soup cakes, I heard that the soup cakes in the capital are different from ours."
A good woman who knows how to maintain her husband's self-esteem.
Yan Zhutou said to his eldest brother in a daze:
"Uncle."
"What?"
"Borrow money."
"........." He Chu.
"This money, I will pay you back, it is really borrowed, and when I come down next month, I will give it to you, no matter what, I finally come back to the capital, I have to invite my daughter-in-law to eat a duck!"
Is the duck in Quande Building really so delicious?
How could the swallow catcher who hyped up this duck with one hand not know!
But that's a sense of ritual,
To the capital,
Eat a duck in the whole German building,
This ritual can be completed.
A few years later,
Even when you're older,
I don't remember whether the duck was delicious or not, and what it tasted like, but I only remember that time I entered the capital for the first time, ate the duck, and who I ate it with.
He Chu looked at Yan Zhutou, and then looked at his sister,
Nodding vigorously,
Road:
"I'm please!"
", I'll come, this is the rule, you can't mess around."
Yan Zhutou is very serious in this matter.
People who grew up in Yanjing City are like this,
I can do without money,
But I can't miss that face!
The carriage came to the door of the Quande Building, and the second child of his own shop went to help settle it, and the three of them entered the roast duck restaurant.
This is not the main store of Quande Building in Beijing, it is a branch, and besides, the original shopkeeper has long since quit and gone to Shengle, so here, no one recognizes Yan Zhutou as their former owner.
"A first-class room, two ducks in front, enough materials, a pot of peach blossoms!"
Yan Zhutou nodded the dish very generously.
Expensive,
That's fucking expensive!
The duck in front is just a gimmick, and the peach blossom stuff is also mixed with water.
The iniquity he made before,
Now I have to fill the hole myself.
Time
Yan Zhutou regretted why he didn't behave well at the beginning.
Entered the box,
He Chu was a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't rely on his brother-in-law like his sister.
However, his brother-in-law is very skillful, directing the shopkeeper to pour tea.
The tea has just been poured,
I haven't taken the cup yet.
My brother-in-law looked down and sniffed,
actually knocked over this teacup directly,
Scolded:
"Who are you fooling!"
The shopkeeper immediately paid for it, and after wiping it, he went to prepare new tea.
forthwith
Yan Zhutou said to his eldest brother:
"People here are like this, they always feel superior, they see people cooking, hehe, and they also see people serving tea, virtue!"
He Chu only cared about it in his heart, after eating this meal, he had to kill a few pigs for nothing.
When I heard my brother-in-law say this,
Immediately said:
"This is in the capital, we still have to be careful."
It is said that the archway in the capital smashed down and hit people, and among these ten people, five of them must be big officials.
Yan Zhutou shook his head,
sighed,
Road:
"I've been careful for so many years........."
Saying,
Yan Zhutou looked down at the woman sitting beside him again, this woman who was upside down with her,
He smiled,
Road:
"Now, I don't want to be careful."
……
His Majesty's Luan drove and appeared in the prince's mansion.
The prince's mansion is the residence of the princes, in those years, because the emperor liked to "ask for immortals", so the palace built a lot of temples, after the contemporary Yan Emperor succeeded to the throne, a change of atmosphere, monks and warlocks like this, exiled or imprisoned, these temples were rebuilt into the office of the imperial court.
Therefore, the imperial palace of Yan Kingdom, it is not as neat as the imperial palaces of the capitals of other countries, and it is not boxy.
It's not that no one has written to rebuild the palace, but they have all been rejected by Emperor Yan.
Good news came frequently, and Jingnanhou's excerpts were also delivered.
The post-war reward is actually in it, but how to operate it still needs to be handed over to Li Jiulang and them to discuss again.
An unexpected wave was finally calmed down, and the pressure on Emperor Yan was suddenly reduced a lot.
In fact, for the Situ family, he originally just wanted to let them belong to him.
However, the erosion of the savage matter, coupled with the participation of the Chu people later, made Dayan have to dispatch soldiers, horses, money and food to fight this big battle.
These consumption were not what Emperor Yan expected.
Compared to the ruined land of the Three Jins,
What he actually wants to do is more.
It's a cut!
Qianguo is too rich, but he is weak, the last Three Kingdoms War, although the country that divided the land of the Three Jin Dynasty and half of Thailand, but for Qianguo, in fact, it did not really hit, but only made it lose face.
however
Such a big country, such a rich country, you can't kill it all at once, let it slow down, and wait for it to be strong, and then try to clean it up in the future, it will be difficult.
The war against the savages greatly hindered Emperor Yan's original plan, and the battle to attack the dry could only be put on hold for the time being, and it had to be shelved.
And just last night, a news came from the secret spy department in Qianguo, which was personally sent to the imperial case by Wei Zhonghe.
The official family of the Qianguo State is ready to canonize the ancestral family and the Zhong family as the princes of the country, and at the same time, they also give knights to a number of generals.
Most importantly,
It is necessary to rehabilitate the people who were stabbed in the past.
This matter has not yet been announced, it is just a belly case.
But it can be seen from this that his neighbor has taken advantage of the last war to clean up the influence of those ministers in the court, especially the Han Xianggong who has just returned to his hometown, and he is about to make the assassination case that he personally sorted out back then, and he really didn't leave any face for that Han Xianggong.
This also means that the influence of the scholar class on the Qianguo is being weakened unprecedentedly, and the status of military generals is constantly improving.
This news shows that
The neighbor emperor,
It's not a battle anymore,
It's in ............ Sharpen your knives.
borrowed my sword and removed his obstacles.
Because of this news, Emperor Yan's mood today is not very good, he has already had a hunch that when the country of Yan is ready in a few years, when he goes to cut down the dry, the difficulty will definitely be much higher than the year before last.
Even the news of the great victory in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty has been diluted a lot because of this incident.
At the same time, at noon today, when the Seventh Prince was flying a kite in the Prince's Mansion, he accidentally fell into the pond and was frightened.
Emperor Yan, who was already a little bored, simply drove the prince's mansion to see his young son.
Emperor Yan was the emperor, but he was also a father.
It's just that, unlike other fathers in the world, other fathers can give whatever they want for their children;
And he, maybe the significance of his descendants to him, one is the inheritance of the country, and the other is to meet his occasional need to tease his grandchildren.
For his youngest son, he still has a lot of love.
Because the other children have grown up and are no longer cute.
The eunuchs and maids of the Seven Princes' mansion knelt on the ground in panic,
But on this matter,
Emperor Yan did not go to Dajia Zhulian,
After looking at his young son on the side of the bed, and seeing that he had no other discomfort and did not seem to be about to have a cold, he relieved himself.
By the bed of the young son,
Fly that whistle kite,
It's a kite that emits a crisp whistle when it is released into the sky.
The workmanship is beautiful, the design is ingenious, and it is indeed extremely interesting to look at.
The Seventh Prince leaned on Emperor Yan's arms, a little apprehensive, as if he knew that he had done something wrong.
"Who gave you this kite?" Emperor Yan asked.
This kite is not an ordinary object, it is carefully made at first glance, and it is difficult to buy it on the market.
"Back to my father's words, it was sent to my son half a year ago, and the sixth brother knew that my son liked to play with these, so he often made some toys for me.
Father, the sixth brother's illness, is it cured, son-in-law, son-in-law wants to go to see the sixth brother, son-in-law misses the sixth brother. ”
"Well, you have a good rest, drink a bowl of ginger soup later, if your sixth brother's illness is cured, it will come out."
"Yes, father, the son must be obedient and drink ginger soup."
The Seventh Prince said with a bitter face, it was obvious that he didn't like that taste.
Emperor Yan stayed with the Seventh Prince for a while before walking out of the room.
Wei Zhonghe waited at the door and didn't go in, for fear of disturbing the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family.
Emperor Yan stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows,
Asked casually:
"What has Cheng Jue been doing lately?"
The six princes were assigned to Nan'an County to be a catcher, which was personally degraded by Emperor Yan, and his every move naturally could not escape the eyes and ears of the secret spy department.
Of course, Emperor Yan won't go to see what he did every day, he has a lot of things to do, and he has many sons, so he really can't take care of it.
Sometimes when I think about it, I will ask Wei Zhonghe casually.
"Back to Your Majesty's words, His Royal Highness Sixth has just accepted a woman."
"A concubine? Hehe, he lives a brisk life, and he can't suffer anywhere. ”
Wei Zhonghe hesitated.
"Not a concubine?"
"Back to His Highness, it seems, it's not like it."
"Got it."
"Yes, Your Majesty, that woman's surname is He, not a dusty woman, but a woman from a serious family."
"What family?"
"It's a pork seller in Nan'an City."
"He, married the daughter of the butcher's family?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, besides, that family seems to be urging His Royal Highness Sixth to take his daughter to meet his in-laws and discuss marriage."
"In-laws?"
"Yes."
"Huh."
Emperor Yan sighed.
After a while,
Emperor Yan let out another "heh".
"Your Majesty, it is the daughter of the butcher's family, who took the initiative to promise His Highness the Sixth, the He family was unwilling, but now the raw rice is cooked and matured, so the He family is in a hurry."
Wei Zhonghe still couldn't say the words "upside down", but the meaning was very clear.
Hear this,
The corners of Emperor Yan's mouth showed a hint of a smile,
Not the coldness of the previous one.
That's the good thing about having a son,
You can feel free to hook up with other people's cabbage, anyway, your own pigs, there is no loss.
Even if the woman's family kills pigs.
The emperor, no matter how brilliant he is, he is only one person after all, he can deliberately discard many things, but how can he completely eradicate everything.
Emperor Yan opened his mouth and asked:
"What about the family?"
"Back to Your Majesty's words, I have found out clearly, the He family, the family background is innocent, there is no problem."
Emperor Yan nodded.
"People forced him to go to his in-laws, so what about him?"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Sixth left Nan'an County yesterday to enter Beijing, and last night, the slave has already reported to you."
Obviously,
This thing,
Emperor Yan forgot.
"Into Beijing?"
"Yes, with that woman, and the eldest son of the He family."
"Heh, he wants to bring his daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door to see me? came to tell me that he Ji Chengjue is amazing, even if he is a head catcher, other people's daughters can take the initiative to ask to be good with him?
Or did he come to show me, he found me a butcher's family as his in-laws, and I can follow his light in the future, and there will be no shortage of meat to eat in the future? ”
The corners of Wei Zhonghe's mouth twitched, trying to hold it back, unable to laugh.
Emperor Yan sighed,
Road:
"What about others?"
"I got the news before, and I entered Beijing at noon."
"Did you hand over the sign?"
"Never."
When the prince enters the palace to ask for a meeting, he needs to hand over the sign in advance.
Father and son are father and son, but the father and son of the heavenly family are even more monarchs and ministers.
At the moment, only the crown prince has the power to ask for a meeting at any time.
"Never?"
Wei Zhonghe took half a step back,
Road:
"Your Majesty, the slave has the courage to find out something."
"Say."
"The companion of His Royal Highness Six, Father-in-law Zhang, sent someone to clean his private house outside the palace the day before yesterday, bought things, and sent the food he raised outside into the private house, and bought slaves and servants from Yaxing.
This morning, Gonggong Zhang left the palace. ”
What does that mean
Understandable.
The six princes and their daughters-in-law who had just passed through the door,
didn't plan to bring it into the palace to see his emperor Lao Tzu,
Instead, he planned to let an old eunuch, and the old eunuch's counterpart,
In a private house,
Go and be his father's family, and fool the He family!
Emperor Yan's eyes showed anger very clearly.
He is the Son of Heaven,
He is the emperor of Dayan,
As a result, today, I learned that I was going to be replaced by a eunuch to play my role!
How could he not be angry, how could he not care!
"Bastard!"
Wei Zhonghe immediately leaned down.
"The daughter of the He family took the initiative to commit herself to him, but he teased others like this, he thinks he is something!"
Of course, the emperor could not have said that he had eaten the vinegar of a eunuch.
Turning around,
Emperor Yan faces the pool in front of him,
Because it's winter,
The pond is very desolate.
Long
Emperor Yan said:
"Let this kid enter the palace."
……
He Chu ate a whole duck alone, and while eating, he was dripping blood in his heart, thinking that a pig was killed, and he could eat a few people in a family for a long time, but this duck was only enough for himself to eat, and he couldn't eat enough!
But this taste,
It seems to be really delicious.
Yan Zhutou is very comfortable to wrap his daughter-in-law with duck meat dipping sauce, and the woman also eats very sweetly and happily.
Then
There was a noise downstairs.
Yan Zhu's head leaned back,
I opened the window of the box,
Here you can see the main entrance.
It was found that several palace guards and a eunuch in a blue eunuch uniform rode over.
"What's going on down there?"
He Chu asked.
When he first arrived in the capital, this man who killed pigs always seemed overly cautious.
Yan Zhutou didn't answer,
Just turn around,
Pick up the remaining half pot of so-called peach blossom brew mixed with water on the table,
To the mouth,
Directly drank two large sips,
Then he wiped his mouth with his cuff,
Road:
"In the past, the Sword Saint was outside the Snow Customs and opened the border into the second grade!"
"Smack!"
The flask was slammed on the table,
The Six Princes stood up,
tidied up his clothes,
Shen Dao:
"Today, I, Ji Chengjue, am in Yanjing City, and then enter the plate!"
