Qi's words reminded Suninger of a popular sentence in her world: "If you are handsome, you will promise to be a person, and if you are ugly, you will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and then repay the favor." ”

Although Zhao Yuanbai is also a handsome man, in terms of power, the Su family is naturally more optimistic about Qingwangfu.

If it was placed in the past, the businessmen were the most despised, but now in this year, although they have a way to be promoted, they still have to put some thought into it.

is either a ten-year cold window like an ordinary scholar, or paving the road with money like her second uncle, slowly drawing it.

But Zhao Yuanbai is an alternative, he has no intention of fame and fortune, and in the eyes of the world, he is a gentleman who does not seek progress, where can he get into the eyes of the Su family.

From the perspective of a modern person, although Suninger doesn't like Zhao Yuanbai's character, she also has to admire his talent in business.

As the saying goes: 360 lines, the line is the champion, in fact, it is not the only way for a person to realize his ambitions.

However, it is an unchangeable fact that the thinking of ancient people was so narrow.

Fortunately, at the moment, the matter of her thirteenth uncle has not caused too much trouble, and the relationship between the two rooms has not reached the point of tension.

Therefore, at this point, she is grateful to Zhao Yuanbai from the bottom of her heart.

……

Two days later, Li Wanwan sent someone to send an invitation to the ceremony of the Li clan ancestral hall in Longxi.

Suning'er has been thinking about what kind of congratulatory gift she should back up for Wan Niang these days.

To say, her family respects Li Zhi Li Zhijun, and she is the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, and her official residence is from the fourth grade, although she is a little more honest and honest, and her annual salary is also thousand, and she is not a poor family.

And the most well-known thing of the Su family is only silk brocade, especially the good materials, I am afraid that it is difficult for ordinary officials and eunuchs to find.

It's just that it doesn't represent your own mind after all.

The last time I went to Ye Mansion, the brocades selected by the Qi family were all the most famous cloud brocades in Jiangnan, and they didn't seem to be worth mentioning in Ye Lanlan's eyes, so the cloth was used as a congratulatory gift to let Suning'er filter it out first.

Qin'er and Shuang'er follow Suning'er closely on weekdays, and they are also very familiar with Wanniang, and when they saw her frowning about this matter, they couldn't help but give her some reference advice.

Qin'er said: "Although Wan Niang is a daughter, but different from other women, we have a lot of good horses in the stables, which many eunuchs can't ask for, one mother is better to beg the second lady, give Wan Niang a first-class horse, it will definitely make Wan Niang happy." ”

Shuang'er was not happy when she listened: "Ah Qin, when did you learn to be wealthy, a good horse is worth dozens of silver dollars, you let Yiniang go to the second lady, wouldn't it be boring to be self-deprecating, and if you don't get it, you will scold Yiniang." ”

Suning'er held the stove in her hand and thought quietly, she agreed with Qin'er's statement.

Li Wanwan has reached the age of merging, but she has not really promised others, so it stands to reason that there is no need to rush to perform the ceremony at this time.

The custom of this era is roughly like this, when you are over fifteen years old, you have a family affair, and you will perform this ceremony before getting married; If it is a woman who is not allowed to marry, most of them wait until the family affairs are agreed before making up the rules and ceremonies.

The predecessor's fifteenth birthday last year was just a little more grand than in previous years, and the ancestral hall elders were not invited to do this ceremony.

Li Wanwan did this, and Suninger could guess that she was trying to express her determination to be loyal to Cui Jiashiro.

So this year's birthday is naturally of unusual significance to Wan Niang.

The value of a horse gift is almost the same as that of a car in modern society, and a good horse is like a luxury car, which is indeed too extravagant.

If she was still in her own world, even if she was a good girlfriend, she would never think of this idea.

But now is different from the past, born in a wealthy businessman like the Su family, you still have to pay attention to some decency in everything.

Besides, Wan Niang is a woman who likes to gallop on horseback.

After a rough calculation, these days, there is a lot of silver money rewarded to me in the front yard, anyway, it is not much cost to stay in the courtyard all day, it is better to take the silver money and go to the horse market to pick a strong horse, and there is no need to pray to Zhou.

After making up her mind, Suning'er asked Shuang'er to go to her private vault and count carefully, except for hard items such as fine and soft jewelry, brocade cloth, etc., the copper coins alone had saved more than two hundred.

I have to say that since agreeing to the marriage of Qingwangfu, the Zhou family has treated her very well, not only handed over all the gifts sent by the palace to herself, but also increased the supply of the mansion on weekdays.

Relying on the current furniture, if she leaves Su Mansion and goes to that remote place, she can also set up a small mansion.

It's incredible.

The day before Wan Niang's ceremony, she finally made up her mind, instructed Qin'er and Shuang'er to count fifty pieces of silver, and found a person who knew horses in the house to drive to the horse market to select horses in person.

Chang'an's mule and horse market was originally in the north of Anshanfang and Daye Fang, and opened two and a half squares to specialize in horse trading, and later because the south of the city was far away from the prosperous area, the transaction was inconvenient, and gradually only one Daye Fang remained, and the horse teeth stationed inside were much less than in previous years.

Over the years, many slave traders have moved their trade here, and even some of the horse's teeth have also become slave traders, and the whole mule and horse market has gradually become lively again.

The horseman who knows horses, Suning'er is not familiar with it, and she heard Shuang'er say that she was a handyman who delivered goods to the east and west cities for the porcelain kilns in the suburbs, and she happened to enter the house today, and she was called over by the way.

The groom led the master and servant into the market, and when he looked at the pedestrians coming and going, he made a look of surprise:

"It's rare that the horse market can be so lively in this winter, I heard that a group of official slaves have been released from Sinong Temple recently, and for some reason they have been transferred to the private slave market, these official slaves are the most diligent in their work, and those dignitaries are afraid that they will come to fight for it when they hear the news, and a mother wants to go and see?"

Suning'er looked around, and sure enough, there were many horse-toothed shops full of pedestrians who stopped to watch, talking head to ear.

Through the slightest gap, she could faintly glimpse some of the slaves being held in cages.

Namafu said: "This year, Silla entered the court to pay tribute, and many Silla slaves and maids were sent to Kyoto, and there were even more people in the coastal area who abducted the good people of Silla to the two capitals for sale, and the men of Silla were born handsome, and the women were also gentle and virtuous. ”

For Silla maid and Kunlun slave, Suninger is no stranger.

In this Chang'an City, there are four major groups of people who have always been talked about by high-ranking officials and nobles: orchids, bodhisattvas, and then Silla maids and Kunlun slaves.

In the Su family's mansion, Hongcai, the personal attendant of her second uncle, is said to be the best among the Kunlun slaves.

Among the four groups of people, Silla has always been a tributary state of the imperial court, and the people who come are the most seriously trafficked.

In recent years, the imperial court has repeatedly issued edicts prohibiting the trafficking of Silla good-on-people, but it has not worked, and there are still many cases of selling good people for cheap, and the price of human trafficking has risen sharply as a result.

As a daughter's family, Suning'er is not interested in Silla maids, not to mention that she is very satisfied with loyal servants like Qin'er and Shuang'er by her side, and she doesn't need to worry more about this.

So as for the groom's words, she should just listen to them casually. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Tang Wife's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
