The matter of ancestor worship was mentioned by Zhao Ming on his own initiative.

He is really sensible, and he can do anything that is beneficial to the Zhao clan.

The winter solstice ancestor worship is a family event, except for the head of the household and the eldest son of the family, no one can go to the ancestral hall on this day to disturb the ancestors.

Looking at the people of Xiping County who slowly walked out of their grief, resumed production, and were able to harvest normally, Zhao Ming knew that no one could stop Zhao Hanzhang's footsteps.

Even if he didn't want to, Zhao had to make a choice.

That's when the benefits of living close to home come in.

Zhao Zhongyu is far away in Luoyang, although he is the patriarch, it is difficult to control the Xiping Zhao clan, of course, he is in the court, and he has helped the clan a lot;

However, in the troubled times at this time, Zhao Hanzhang was in Xiping, and she was of greater help to the Zhao family.

When Zhao Ming decided to be the county magistrate of Xiping County and cover for her, he had actually made a choice instead of Zhao's Wubao.

Since Zhao Hanzhang has been chosen, then do things well, make both parties happy, and he also has to help her gain a firm foothold in the clan, so that the two sides can cooperate more closely.

This is the same reason as taking a fancy to a poor boy who is fighting the world, then marry his daughter to him, and use the strength of the whole clan to support him.

Zhao Hanzhang's identity is a little better, she is naturally a member of the Zhao family, and Zhao Ming doesn't need to find a daughter to marry her.

In order to establish her prestige in the Zhao family, and to make her and the Zhao family closer, Zhao Ming and her father proposed that Zhao Hanzhang participate in the ancestor worship instead of Dafang and bring Zhao Erlang with him.

Zhao Song hesitated.

Zhao Ming said flatly: "Father, Sanniang is not an ordinary woman, you can treat her as the same as a man." ”

Zhao Song understood his plan, "But her prestige in the clan is not low now." ”

"Except for the day of her uncle's burial, she has never seen the whole clan on other occasions," Zhao Ming said: "This time the winter solstice ancestor worship, not only the heads of the houses will arrive, but also the children who are studying abroad will also come back." ”

Zhao Song was surprised, "Zitu is coming back?" ”

Zhao Ming bowed, "Yes, I'm going home soon." ”

Zhao Song groaned, and then nodded, "I have to ask the other old people in the clan." ”

The old people in the clan pondered for a long time, and most of them agreed under Zhao Ming's persuasion, only Zhao Hu refused to nod.

Zhao Ming left a message directly, "Otherwise, I will ask Sanniang to come to Uncle Qi to ask, but Sanniang has been at fault in the past, so Uncle Qi doesn't want Sanniang to worship his ancestors?" ”

Zhao Hu muttered and scolded him a few times, and nodded reluctantly, he was also afraid that Zhao Hanzhang would come to him.

After Zhao Ming was confirmed, he looked for Zhao Hanzhang and directly notified her to participate in the winter solstice ancestor worship.

After the winter solstice, there is a ceremonial banquet, which is similar to the feeling of welcoming the New Year together with the people of the whole country.

At first, the banquet was only attended by the clansmen of the Zhao family, and then the people in the dock fort got together to get together, and then the people of Xiping County would also come to the Zhao clan dock fort to feast, and now it has developed into a festival where the gentry, scribes and wealthy merchants from other counties will celebrate the festival in Xiping County before the winter solstice.

Of course, ordinary people can also come, and when the time comes, not only Zhao's Wubao, but also Xiping County will be lit up and lively.

This is the way ordinary people celebrate the festival.

And the Zhao family will send out invitations, set up a banquet in the dock fort to entertain the guests who come with the post, everyone talks about etiquette, drinks and composes poems, so it is called a banquet!

This year, because Zhao's Wubao was surrounded by the chaotic army, many people died, and some elders in the clan wanted to suspend for a year, but the fifth uncle thought that the more this time, the more they couldn't stop, if people saw the weakness of the Zhao family, they thought they could be bullied.

Zhao Ming also thinks so, so this year's ceremonial banquet was held as usual, and the post has been sent.

There are many girls of the right age in the clan, and on the winter solstice, the people who have no filial piety in the family have passed the period of March, so they can be said to be pro, so they are keen to make new clothes in the clan recently.

Wang also made two sets for Zhao Hanzhang, one is a dress, and the other is a regular dress, although she said that she does not participate in the banquet, but people sit at home, if someone comes to visit, you can't turn away guests, right?

Therefore, clothes, shoes, socks, etc., should be prepared.

It's a pity that after Xiping County suffered a military rebellion, commerce was hit hard, and there were few merchants who came, and aunts and aunts couldn't find good fabrics.

Suddenly met a Shu businessman from other places, and brought such a good Shu brocade, it was inevitable that I would be moved.

Zhao Hanzhang made an excuse to exit the hall, but he didn't find Tinghe, so he beckoned a little maid and asked, "What about Tinghe?" ”

The little maid bowed her head and said, "I listened to Sister He's order to go out to pick wood." ”

"Oh, yes," Zhao Hanzhang knocked on his head: "I forgot, I asked her to pick the wood for the loom, then you go to the front and take the Chang master book...... The people around me invited me and said that I wanted to ask about Shu Jin. ”

The maid should go down and hurry to the front yard.

As soon as Chang Ning heard the maid's report, he asked, "Is there a guest in the house today?" ”

"Yes, Madame and several ladies of the clan have come here."

Chang Ning understood, he hesitated for a moment, and felt that with his understanding of Zhao Hanzhang during this time, this girl of theirs was not a generous person.

The most valuable goods in the Zhuchuan are those Shu brocade and silk, just a few horses are worth those carts of cotton wool.

So he muttered for a moment and then called a clerk, and he followed him to negotiate the price with Zhu Chuan, and he also made the account book, and he knew the price best.

"If the girl asks about the price of Shu brocade and silk, she will add three percent."

The clerk's mouth opened wide, and his face turned red, "This, isn't this okay?" ”

Chang Ning glared at him and said: "I haven't changed the price on the account, if you see the girl alone, then quote the price truthfully, if you meet in front of everyone, then raise the price by 30%." ”

The clerk answered, and went to the backyard of the county government to see Zhao Hanzhang with the maid.

How could Zhao Hanzhang get out and see him alone? So he went straight to the auditorium, and as soon as he entered, he was locked in the eyes of the ladies.

He paused and stepped forward to salute.

Zhao Hanzhang asked with a smile, "Master Chang negotiated the price with the second prince and bought all his goods back?" ”

The clerk bowed his head and said "yes".

"Is there Shu brocade and silk in it?"

The clerk responded: "There are eight horses of Shu brocade and six horses of silk, all of which are of the highest quality, and the rest of the fabrics are not equal." ”

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and ordered: "Go and bring all the brocade and silk here, my Eminem will choose." ”

Zhao Hanzhang's words gave the ladies a great face, and the ladies were very happy, and they couldn't help straightening their backs and becoming more arrogant.

The clerk should be down, bow down and arrange.

Zhao Hanzhang gave the little maid a look and asked her to bring the people in the house to help.

Shu brocade and silk were quickly lifted up, Zhao Hanzhang asked people to lift the desk to the center of the listening hall, and Shu brocade and silk were placed on the desk one by one, which can be seen at a glance, better viewing and selection.

Aunt Qing reached out and touched a rose-red Shu brocade, and exclaimed: "The pattern on this seems to be born naturally, it's really beautiful." ”

It's a pity that they can't wear it now, and the Zhao family will try their best to wear plain clothes in the next six months, and although such a color is good-looking, it doesn't really fit the current aesthetics, it's too gorgeous.
