Chapter 213: Shi Tong is not allowed to marry
Yang Ting said that thirty tables are opened, and ten taels of silver are enough, is it really fake?
Not only is it sufficient, but even the dowry is included. Don't you believe it? Let's do the math and we'll understand.
In the Tang Dynasty, the general rural banquet, wine is a big item, the ground in Chaoge is very good Feiquan Shochu is nothing more than a catty of 20 Wen, an average of 4 catties per table, 30 tables is 120 catties, exactly one stone, equivalent to two through 400 Wen, that is, two taels of silver and another 400 copper coins.
Then there is the use of meat, generally a table of banquets, eight-inch large plates on 16 dishes is very decent, with six large bowls of mixed vegetables and meatball soup, egg soup and so on. Among them, there are eight meat dishes, and each dish is very fat with four taels of meat. Each table uses thirty-two taels of meat, which is exactly two catties.
Each catty of pork is 30 wen, and a table is 60 wen. Thirty tables are always eight hundred wen, that is, one tael of silver and eight hundred copper coins.
Thirty tables of banquets are down, a total of four and two hundred yuan, and five yuan is more than enough, that is, five taels of silver, which is enough for any extravagance and waste.
The other five taels of silver are more than enough to buy some dowries that are very acceptable in the countryside.
So Yang Ting said that ten taels of silver was enough. Wu Diao and Yang Xu were young, and each took out twenty taels, which was enough to open more than 200 tables of banquets. Even if the prime minister marries his daughter, there will not be such a big formation.
Ordinary people marry daughters, and thirty tables are all the relatives and friends, and the whole village is a little closer. Most of the married women will be done at a dozen tables.
Yang Ting immediately used the scale to divide the twenty taels of silver into two, returned half to Wu Diao, and said: "I have more than enough to drop ten taels, and I will definitely make the marriage beautiful." If you go back to show your parents, it is a private life, and I am afraid that they will obstruct it, and if you go home and do so, they will be happy. β
Wu Diao is worried about this, now there is a way. The gloom disappeared immediately.
Since it has been decided, Yang Ting said that at the same time, he will try his best to do a good job of Yang Rong. The Chai Department lives in the Yicheng Army, which is not too far away, and it is not a problem to notify him at any time. Assuming that the Chai Department can get married together, there are still six or seven days left before August 16, and the time is too late.
Chen Guo and Chang Ding are divided into two ways. Chen Guo stayed, lived in Yang Ting's house first, waited for news from Yang Rong, and notified the Diesel Department at any time. Chang Ding accompanied Wu Diao back to Wuzhuang, after all, the two families of Chang and Wu are world friends, and there is something to say.
Wu Diao took Chang Ding and set off immediately. Yang Xu was reluctant, threw herself into her arms, and sobbed inexplicably.
The two brothers returned to Wuzhuang, and their mother-in-law, Jun Li, Jishui Township, picked up the child, and saw that Chang Ding also came, and they were very affectionate. At this time, the Wu Mansion is the largest house in Wuzhuang, with four courtyards before and after, and nine doors take care of each other. The banner of the house door is written with the word "Jizi". The five main houses and all the east and west wings are two-story blue bricks and blue tiles, white and gray joints, and the original large tsubaki trees in the courtyard appear more luxuriant.
Wu Shitong and Jiqiao were not at home, and their mother-in-law said that they could only come back in the evening. My sister Wu Yang lived in the last courtyard, and arranged a show building for her, living on the second floor of the last main building, and downstairs were all kinds of flowers and plants and female red materials for maids and Wu Yang.
The two younger brothers born to the stepmother's ingenuity, Saburo Ou'er was five years old, and Shiro Ou'er was three years old, and they were all carried by the nurse. It's time to go to the door.
Wu Diao asked Chang Ding to chat with her mother-in-law first, and then rushed to her sister's room. Wu Yang had already seen her brother from the upstairs window, and when she saw Wu Diao coming to her, she hurriedly hid.
Wu Diao went up the stairs from the left corner of the main room to the corner door and knocked twice: "Yang'er, I'm the eldest brother." β
"The duck is not at home. Wu Yang hid it as soon as he said a word.
Wu Diao heard the words and pushed the door in directly. Where do you speak?
I found that the quilt covered my head, hiding the cat. Wu Diao walked lightly and slowly to her bed. Wu Yang happened to secretly lift the quilt to look, and the two of them screamed in fright.
Wu Yang hooked Wu Diao's neck and said coquettishly: "Brother, where have you gone wild, I haven't seen you for almost half a year." I can't even remember what you look like. β
The brother and sister made love, and Wu Diao told her about marrying a wife, hoping to get her sister's full support. Tonight, I will take advantage of my father's mother to come back and hold a family banquet, and Chang Ding will also participate in it to finalize this matter.
Wu Yang shed tears when he heard what he said: "Brother, you have a wife, can't you come to my room to see me?"
"Silly sister, why can't you? When you get married, of course my brother can't come to your room, that's the space between you and your husband. Wu Diao twisted her pink face.
"I have to find someone like you, or I won't marry. Wu Yang looked at Wu Diao shyly.
Wu Diao laughed: "You are also seventeen, you really should get married." To say stupid things, there are no people in the world who look the same. You didn't come into contact with it, and once you happened to it, you couldn't hold it. Where do you want to be the same with anyone? Okay, my father and mother will come back in a while, and I don't need to call you. β
"Ah, got it. Wife fan. Wu Yang kicked him, and Wu Diao turned around and walked out of the house.
At dusk, the flying cavalry captain Wu Shitong and the Karatsu couple returned home together. The two apprentices and helpers unloaded the bridles of the two wagons and led the horses to the east wing of the front yard to feed the fodder. The couple strode into the main hall of the second courtyard, and the maid hurriedly brought water and towels and told them to wipe their faces.
What are they doing? What else can they do, wholesale and retail kelp. This is the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, which is a solar term that consumes a lot of food.
Wu Diao and Chang Ding took gulls and owls, surrounded by their mothers-in-law, and came to their parents' halls. The gull and the owl threw themselves into Karakuri's arms together. Wu Diao helped his father and mother to sit in the chairs of the left and right masters, turned over and knelt down: "Father, mother, you have worked hard." If you are late to come home, punish you. β
Before he finished speaking, Chang Ding also came over, turned over and knelt down: "Father, mother, I really see you again." β
Karakuri hurriedly came to help them up, exclaiming, "Why do you really call us Daddy?"
Chang Ding said: "We have formed a righteous Chaoge Eight Swords in Chaoge City, the third brother is the third brother, and I am the fourth brother. The other brothers are going to have a big gathering at the house in the near future and hold a big banquet. β
Wu Shitong said with a smile: "Okay, a man should be so vigorous." Since they are married, the parents of each family are the same fathers and mothers. It's natural to hold a banquet, why do you say it's a big banquet?"
Wu Diao wanted to be straightforward, but he wanted to speak again. Chang Ding pulled him up: "Let's go, tell my father and mother to rest for a while, let's go sell some good wine and meat, and honor my father and mother for a few glasses of wine tonight." β
Wu Diao was forcibly pushed out by him, and he had to go to the nearby Changtun Township to buy some beef and Feiquan soju. When they returned home, they handed over the beef to the chef in the kitchen, and then went to the main hall of their father's mother, and found that their father had a dark face, and the old lady was snickering with Wu Yang on the side.
The mother-in-law was sitting under the big tsubaki tree at the entrance of the hall, sitting on a wicker chair, and gulls and owls surrounded her to make trouble.
Wu Diao roughly guessed what was going on, so he waited for his father to have a seizure. Go straight in, pull a chair, and sit next to Daddy. Chang Ding also pulled a chair and sat aside.
Wu Shitong seemed to be reluctant to be angry, and asked in a deep voice: "Zhuanyi, let's talk about it, who is the female family?"
Wu Diao replied loudly: "The sixth brother of the righteous family, a native of Qinglong Town, is called a Yang Rong, and the word is Mange." β
Wu Shitong eased his emotions and asked again: "To be specific, what did his father and mother do? What is the family situation? What does Yang Xu do?"
Chang Ding was afraid of losing it, and hurriedly said: "Yang Xu has no father, and there is a twin sister Yang Rong and a younger brother Yang Yu at home, both of whom are good kung fu. Yang Rong and the Chai Department competed with each other, and the battle was one hundred and eighty together. This Yang Xu's swordsmanship is also very good, and the two sisters are on par.
"The fiancΓ©e Yang Xu of the righteous righteousness, the peerless beauty, and the large Lingbo fairy. He has a deep affection for the righteousness, and has made a private decision for life. Her sister Yang Rong is also as beautiful as a fairy, a large blue wave fairy, and has a lot of affection for the firewood department. β
Wu Shitong saw that he said so much, but he didn't catch the point, and cut off his words: "Don't talk about this to Lao Tzu, what I want to hear is what Yang Su does, and how do my sisters and brothers live?"
For this fatal question, Chang Ding was speechless for a while. As long as you say the kabuki of the Qinglou, you will inevitably oppose it one after another. If you don't say it, you definitely can't get around.
Wu Diao is accustomed to going straight, and immediately answered his father's question: "The two sisters are both singing in the Chao Geshun Chengfang, in addition to the first-class appearance, the swordsmanship is also first-class. The child has already been decided by the patriarch of the Yang family in their Qinglong Town, and this family affair has been decided. The wedding time is on August 16. β
Wu Shitong was immediately stunned, his head shook twice, and he almost fell over. A sullen breath was stuffed in his chest, and he couldn't return that breath for a while, and he fell back on the back of the Taishi's chair, leaned his neck back, and looked at the beams.
Clever passed, rubbed his shoulder, and said softly: "The matter of the wood is already in the boat, how can the child face the girl." Dissipate the anger, the righteous boss is not small, and the choice of the wife's room can't be wrong. β
Wu Shitong relieved himself and roared angrily: "Resolutely disagree." Wu Zhuanyi, as long as you dare to mention this matter again, Lao Tzu will break your dog's legs. Don't get out of here yet, get out of here. β
Wu Diao was immediately so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to speak. Chang Ding got up and led Wu Diao to his own room in the front yard. Karakuri saw that Wu Carving's face was like ashes, and at this time there were tears in his eyes, his legs were soft, and he was in a trance.
She couldn't help blurting out: "It's bad, something is going to happen to the child." Don't be angry, the child is about to go to Xiangzhou to take office, and neither of you can give me a good job. I'll have to go over and see. β
Wu Shitong's heart trembled, and he wanted to yell something, so he barely suppressed the fire, got up and walked to the bedroom.
Wu Yang sat on the side, hearing everything clearly. Since my brother has made a lifelong agreement with others, yes, the girl is equivalent to saying that she has a family from now on, and no one will ever propose marriage again. If you don't count here, it will be equivalent to completely ruining the girl.
She knows her father's personality and fiery temperament, but she is still reasonable. So he silently followed his father and helped her to the bedroom to rest. The mother-in-law also followed up and sat on the edge of the bed, seemingly waiting for the father to dissipate his anger before talking. Otherwise, Dad's anger will get bigger and bigger, and he will be angry and dare to set the house on fire.
In the end, can the Li family and his granddaughter Wu Yang change Wu Shitong's mind?
