Chapter 244: Nacai
Bai Yi was in a hurry at this time, and set off from the high-rise building of the palace hospital and rushed home.
Not long ago, Bai Shijun, who was at home today, sent a text message, with only four words written on it, "Urgent, return!" ”。
These four words made Bai Yi's heart tighten, and he ran home as if he was flying.
Tomorrow is the day when Bai Shijun plans to go into the mountains to collect medicine, so today he did not come to the Tai Hospital with him as usual, but prepared his bags at home alone, after all, he went for three or five days, and everything in the mountains was on his own, and he couldn't be sloppy.
This time, the person who wanted to go into the mountain with him changed from Bai Ling to himself, although Bai Yi was a little unaccustomed to it, but he still agreed to go into the mountain with his father.
Now Bai Shijun suddenly asked someone to send such a note, which really shocked Bai Yi, he directly pushed away the three rabbit dissection demonstrations in the afternoon, and ran all the way to the entrance of his own alley worriedly, only to find that this originally narrow street and alley was blocked by cars and horses at the moment.
The tall horses dragged the beautifully decorated carts, each of which was stacked with two wooden boxes, one large and one small, and the varnish of the wooden boxes was painted with oil, revealing a dark purple extravagance, but I am afraid that the box itself is worth a lot of money, not to mention the contents inside.
Bai Yi's heart moved slightly, and sure enough, something happened.
When he ran all the way to the door of his house against the wall, the door was full of people again, but this time it was not the villagers who were standing, but two middle-aged people in luxurious clothes and the servants who accompanied them.
Several people looked at Bai Yi approaching, with a bit of exploration in their eyes, and spoke first for the man with the goatee.
"Someone who came, Cocoa, but Bai Bai, the little doctor, Bai Baiyi?"
Bai Yi ignored them, walked straight to the door and began to knock on the door, Bai Shijun heard that it was his son's voice, so he trotted over and opened a crack in the door, allowing Bai Yi to enter the door and speak.
"What's going on out there?" Bai Yi pointed behind him.
Bai Shijun was confused, "I don't know, I feel that I don't dare to open the door first in this battle." I threw a paper ball at your Aunt Zhong's house next door, and asked them to help me call you back, and when you come back, let's discuss and make a decision together. ”
Bai Yi nodded, and praised his father for doing a good job.
He looked back, and from the fence of the yard he saw that the streets were full of wagons at both ends.
"Shiyou is here again for Bai Ling, I guess it's the same as the last time I cultivated." Bai Yi speculated, "How long have these people been here?" ”
"It's been more than half an hour."
At this time, there was a loud inquiry outside, "May I ask if it is the mansion of Bai Shijun, the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital?" ”
Bai Shijun still didn't say a word and didn't pay attention, Bai Yi thought about it, and asked loudly, "Who are you?" ”
The outsider also replied, "We belong to Fu-sama's family!" I came to see Dr. Bai! ”
Bai Yi opened the door, but only invited the two people who looked like the master into the house with a cold face, and the two of them were not surprised, they were completely casual guests, and after telling the servants to watch the carriage and horses outside, they followed Bai Yi into the Bai family's mansion alone.
Xu had not seen such a dilapidated courtyard for a long time, and both of them looked at the furnishings of the compound with some curiosity.
Bai Shijun beckoned the two of them into the house and sat down, Bai Yi went to the kitchen to make a pot of tea and brought it up, and the four of them sat around the table.
Bai Shijun took it and opened it, and Bai Yi on the side also glanced up at the good guy, it turned out to be one of the servants of the ministry, Song Ne.
Isn't that the son of Song Bozong, who was the assistant of the court
The backs of the two were invariably straighter than before, although Bai Shijun had never seen the father and son, but he had long heard of Song Ne's notoriety, and Bai Yi immediately remembered the whip he received on his hand one night on Chaotian Street.
"It turned out to be Lord Song, and I was far away," Bai Shijun frowned and closed the name post, "Lord Song, what do you think?" ”
The person on the side, who was also dressed in fine clothes, stood up and gently waved towards Bai Shijun, "Doctor Bai, forgive me, I'll speak for my family." We have come today to mention a happy event. ”
An ominous premonition floated in the hearts of Bai Yi and Bai Shijun at the same time, "Happy event? ”
"Yes, Ling Yan is also about to reach the age of the golden hairpin, and during this time, she has been in the limelight in Beijing for a while, whether it is my family or my family elder, they all appreciate it very much. Thinking that our little boy has not yet made a marriage contract, today my family came to the door with some small gifts. ”
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has long been a set of fixed processes for women to get married.
First of all, the man prepared some light gifts to come to the door, one or two pieces of pork, one or two jars of wine, indicating that there was a desire to marry, which was for Nacai.
When both sides have intentions, they give each other names and eight characters, just to ask for names
After that, the man takes the names of both parties and the eight characters to the temple for divination, and if it is appropriate, he will prepare some gifts to the woman's home to report the good news, which is for Najib
After going through these three steps, you can officially give the woman a dowry, which is a heavy gift, also known as a levy.
But today, the Song family had never come to the door before, and as soon as they came, they brought heavy gifts piled up all over the alley
Even if Bai Shijun stood up, not only his face was pale, but his head shook like a rattle, "No, no!" How can the child's marriage be such a child's play! Although we are a small family, but we are also innocent people, my daughter wants to be engaged, that Nacai, ask the name, Najib, Nazheng should go through the process of one step can not be less, your house is rich and powerful, we can't afford to cling. Take all these things you have brought with you today. ”
The man was not embarrassed, but just smiled, "Imperial Doctor Bai probably misunderstood, the things we brought today are not dowry." ”
"Not a dowry? The carriage has been pulled down an alley, and it can still be"
"That's right, it's just a little bit of courtesy, so how dare we slack off in the Song Mansion." The man had a little apology on his face, "It's because I didn't make it clear before, so that Dr. Bai misunderstood." If it is really hired, the things that our Song Mansion wants to send will only be ten times more than this, after all, the little boy is the heart and soul of our adults and the elder of the pavilion, and marrying is a big deal for a woman, and marrying a wife is not a trivial matter for a man. ”
Bai Shijun was stunned there, he knew that the Song Mansion was rich, but he never thought that the Song Mansion could be so rich.
The assistant lord who leans towards the government and the opposition wants to marry his own daughter for his grandson?
Although Bai Shijun didn't understand officialdom very well, a certain intuition also told him that no matter why the Song family suddenly had the idea of marrying Bai Ling into the door, it was a fire pit, and he could not push his baby daughter over.
However, looking at the polite appearance of the people in front of him, he couldn't think of an excuse to drive them away for a while.
"How old is your little boy of the Song Mansion this year?" Bai Yi suddenly asked on the side......
