Chapter 198 Gifts
Zilan went back to the bedroom and planted the herb in the space first, and then left the bedroom after settling down, she had a lot of secrets, Mama Qi had already ordered the girls not to ask much, and the Yang family also beat them.
After all, if you investigate carefully, you can always find loopholes, some flowers and saplings have disappeared, or they have not appeared again, in fact, there are traces to follow, but the girls don't ask anyone, the Song family's tutor is very strict, and there is only one way to die for a broken traitor.
This era is particularly strict with slaves, slaves are not as valuable as a good horse, the grassland is to exchange sheep and slaves for pasture, the masters use slaves as cattle and sheep to exchange things for what they need, it can be seen.
Zilan didn't explain to them either, because they couldn't fly out of their palms.
There was also a purple cloud on this herb, which made her very happy and a little looking forward to it.
The days passed leisurely like flowing water, the Song family held two wedding banquets, and the cousin had two daughters-in-law, and the candidates were very good, all because the Song family is currently thriving, and the sons and daughters are very promising.
In ancient times, it was very important to see whether the relatives were capable and whether the network resources were thick.
The more prosperous the family is, the better it is to say that the relatives will choose, which is a relationship of mutual support.
These two wedding banquets were all managed by the sisters in the front, and she was responsible for observing and learning in the back, so that the sisters could experience one or two.
Sister Gui Feng also has several families to kiss her, two of which are the second sons of the sons of the big family, and the youngest sons are like this, which is quite suitable for Gui Feng.
Even Sister Shishi has a few people who look at each other, including herself, but they are all rejected about her, and she is not old enough.
The second grandmother and the third grandmother got the order of their wife, and if they are not the outstanding sons of the wang clan, they must tell her about the family affairs of the wang clan.
Being able to help the clan is also a great guarantee for her, and at present, the second grandfather values Cui Hao of the Cui family, Qi Yu of the Qi family, and Li Qing of the Li family.
These three families are all famous families, with profound heritage, strict family rules, and families that are never allowed to take concubines.
These three families are also very satisfied with Zilan, but they have not reached the point of saying that they are married, the child is too young, the son needs to add his resume to fame, and the girl also needs to grow up and sharpen, and the other party also has requirements for the selection of daughter-in-law, not at the level of non-clan women.
However, these are all suitable for Song Zhengtian and his wife to discuss, and they will not tell Zilan.
There was good news from Jiangnan Shipping, Cao Bang compromised, and with the emperor's secret instructions, Cao Bang naturally knew how to choose the road.
Yang Houye and Song Zhengtian took the opportunity to let their people control the Cao Gang, and of course they also gave the talented people of the Cao Gang a chance to be promoted. The shipping cooperation between his two families has many more opportunities to make money, and his natural wealth is also increasing day by day.
The Cao Gang not only pinched the shipping, but also had a trade route by sea, and they unconditionally presented it to the emperor, as the hero of this incident, the emperor was not stingy, and allowed Song Zhengtian to bring goods to be sold.
This time there are a lot of business opportunities, Zilan quickly wrote a detailed plan and what needs to be done in the next five years.
The benefits of taking the emperor did not last long, and what Zilan wanted to do was to copy a shipping trade route by herself, so that her family and the Yang family could cooperate.
If you can't take it, you can also consider other relatives to make money together and strengthen each other's alliances, the interests are eternal, and the relationship alone will not last long.
This thing was made and handed over to the clan to watch, and everyone was convinced, and some gossip participated in the discussion, adding some details and rules that Zilan ignored, but the candidates still had to be carefully considered.
Shipbuilding is also a troublesome thing, they also have to find talents, as well as manpower, etc., this matter is planned to prepare, and it may not be effective in one or two years, so earn what is in front of you first, and accumulate experience.
In the autumn of the second year, Ziyan and Cui Hao and other students entered the examination room one after another to gain the fame of Xiucai.
There is no suspense about this, and the Song family has also ushered in a good situation this time, and the Song family has also added a few more jinshi, and there are enough five children of the Song family to become real jinshi.
At present, he is staying in the family study or being introduced to other families as a staff member or master, and he is waiting for the arrangement of the imperial court.
Because there are many monks and few porridges, there are a lot of officials waiting for the arrangement, not to mention how many jinshi will appear in the imperial examination every three years, and sometimes it is common for substitutes to wait for two or three years.
After Zilan found out about this situation, she also gave some advice, and asked some outstanding children to go to the uncles' places to learn and experience, and go as staff members, one is his own person who is easy to talk; There are so many things to learn in another place of exile, even if it is a pen post.
This initiative was recognized, and the second and third grandfathers immediately selected the top-ranked children and arranged them.
In this way, everyone has a head, and they will not feel that the clan does not give support, which is unfair. Give you the opportunity to be taught by your uncle personally, you can't learn it, don't blame others for not giving you a chance.
After turning over the Nian, Zilan is also eleven years old, and she deliberately wants to dress up today, Qiong Xin combed her with a beautiful bun, ordered two or three hairpins to be delicate and chic, and deliberately wore a new red dress.
Because today is the day when Sister Guifeng's marriage is fixed, she said that when she talks about the second son of the Wang family, the first-class family affairs, both sides are very satisfied.
Today, I'm dressed up to support my sister.
"Dress up solemnly, don't steal the limelight from your sister."
Zilan specially explained.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll dress up dignified and steady."
Qiong Xin has a pair of skillful hands, makeup and combing hair and dressing is simply a must, no one can compare to her with a few girls, Zilan slightly plucked, Qiong Xin understood and could do better, if this is placed in modern times, it is definitely the level of image masters.
Qiong Xin combed Zilan with a full moon bun, and used the silver wire entwined lotus flower inlaid with rubies to decorate it slightly, which would not be too light and impolite, nor would it take away the brilliance of others.
"Well, it's very good, Qiongxin's craftsmanship is getting better and better."
Zilan nodded with satisfaction.
Ziyan was already shouting at the door, "Okay, no, you can't be late today." ”
"It's coming, I can't make a mistake."
Today, even the brothers who went to school in the academy, including Ziyan, all returned to the old house to participate in Guifeng's marriage ceremony, giving blessings and standing on their feet, there are many brothers in our family, bullying the girls in my family, you have to have points in your hearts.
"Did you bring a gift?"
Ziyan asked, and the brother and sister prepared a gift for each of them.
"Bring it, I have prepared a set of rubies' old craftsmanship and a complete set."
"Well, yes, I'll send a big one when I get married, and I gave me a painting of a famous artist from the previous dynasty."
Ziyan also picked out his favorite antique calligraphy and painting.
"Pretty good, let's go."
