Chapter 1060: Happy Events for All
Aunt Zhong chased out of the house with a stick, and was relieved to see her son who was being lifted, "Thanks to the county gentleman, otherwise he will break it again, this kid is very skinny, and he will go to the house to uncover the tiles if he doesn't fight for a day, and all the happy words I bought back from outside told him to paste them badly." ”
Aunt Zhong stretched out her hand, and Zhao Erlang handed the child to him, and then went to see what he was holding in his hand.
A piece of red paper with his super familiar double happiness inscription.
This word is complicated, but it has a structure, Zhao Erlang didn't recognize it originally, but anyone who sees it every day will recognize it after watching it for a few months.
It can be said that the recognition rate of this double happiness word among the people of Luoyang City is the highest, no less than the word "Luoyang".
The reason why this is the case is because Zhao Hanzhang gave Zhao Zheng an idea.
The county government advocated marriage and childbearing, and not only introduced the single soldiers in the barracks to each other, but also often organized blind dates for single school-age young people in the city.
As long as it is done, the county government will send things.
At the beginning, Zhao Erlang was very generous to give them a pair of towels, wooden basins, wooden barrels and other things.
Forming a new home, these things need to be repurchased, and the county government sent them, reducing their consumption after marriage, and everyone must work hard to achieve achievements and become a family even for the pair of wooden basins and barrels.
But later, the financial constraints, coupled with the wind-chasing effect brought about by Zhao Hanzhang's announcement of the wedding date, more and more people chose to start a family before the year, so that the Luoyang County Ya couldn't even send a pair of scarves in the end.
has already promised, not to mention Zhao Erlang, who has a tendon, even Zhao Zheng is unwilling to break his promise, saying that as long as the county government has something to give, then he has to come up with something, and he can't lose his trust with the people.
Because Zhao Erlang also thinks about it day and night, after being annoyed outside, he has to bring his troubles home, no, Zhao Hanzhang can only rack his brains with them, and think about how to give the newlyweds a gift that saves money and is festive.
In the end, when she saw the wedding prepared for her by Wang and Ji Yuan, she realized that the word double happiness was not popular in this era.
So Zhao Hanzhang wrote a double happiness word to Zhao Zheng with a stroke of his pen.
Since then, the officials who have written well in Luoyang County have one more task, to write two double happiness characters for the newlyweds who come to register their marriage.
This has nothing to do with Zhao Erlang, and it is impossible for him to enter this ranks if he lives for another hundred years, so he happily became the shopkeeper.
But how can two double happiness words be enough?
Because of Zhao's paper mill, paper is not expensive now, even if it is red paper, ordinary people can afford it.
Spend two pennies to buy a large piece of red paper, cut it into sixteen sheets, and then spend twenty pennies to ask someone with good calligraphy to inscribe the word double happiness, if you don't care too much about these, it will be cheaper.
Bring the cut red paper to the front of the school and squat down, find a student who looks very smart, stuff two eggs or a few cakes and ask them to kick sixteen double happiness words.
If you don't want to prepare these things, it will cost three or five cents, which is cheaper than asking the gentleman to write an inscription.
As soon as this thing became popular, there were vendors who immediately set up stalls to sell double happiness words, they are very smart, not only will sell double happiness words, but also sell blessing words, they make small profits but quick turnover, a double happiness word or blessing word only needs a penny, the word is not bad, it is cheaper than buying red paper and asking someone to write.
So many newcomers will go to buy, and the double happiness word given by the county government is pasted all over the house, even if it is a thatched house with a breezy atmosphere, it will also add joy because of the red happy word.
Now, as long as you see someone with the word double happiness posted at home, you know that there is a happy event coming.
So seeing the red paper in Fang Dalang's hand, Zhao Erlang asked in his head, "Sister-in-law Zhong, there are also happy events in your family?" Aren't you going to remarry? ”
Sister-in-law Zhong opened her mouth wide.
The officials behind Zhao Erlang immediately rushed up and said nonchalantly: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, our county monarch is simply curious, it's not that you and Brother Fang have a bad time, but your three children are all young, and you can't marry a wife or a person, why do you want to post a happy word?" ”
Sister-in-law Zhong also knew that their county order was different from ordinary people, so she was surprised and skipped it, explaining: "The general wants to get married, which is a great joy, so the family also posted a few happy words to meet the occasion." ”
Like Sister-in-law Zhong, it is still a simple situation, and some merchants and wealthy people in the city not only deliberately made red lanterns to hang in front of their doors or shops, but also hung them on the side of the door with red silk, which can be described as heroic.
And most people buy some red cloth, red paper-cuts, and red happy words to paste.
With Zhao's house as the center, Luoyang City began to be decorated at a very fast speed, and it was red everywhere, and you could feel joyful wherever you went.
In the countryside where Zhao Erlang couldn't see, they decorated it earlier, and even the big trees at the entrance of the village were tied with red cloth strips.
There are rumors in the countryside that Zhao Hanzhang looks very good in red, just like the Nine Heavens Xuannu descended to earth, so she loves red very much, so in order to express their love and blessings to her, the villagers will cut off a red cloth and tie it on a tree or under the eaves.
At this time, Zhao Hanzhang, who didn't know the rumors, was trying on his wedding dress.
The style and color of her wedding dress were not decided by herself, or rather, because she came to this position, her wedding was no longer simply her and Fu Tinghan's wedding.
This wedding dress was decided after the Wang family, the Zhao clan and the courtiers played with each other.
In recent years, due to wars, white wedding dresses have become popular in some places to pray for peace and stability.
Wang saw it and thought that white was also very good-looking, mainly because the meaning was very good, and she hoped that her daughter would be able to live a peaceful life in the future, so she was the first to propose a white wedding dress.
Zhao Hanzhang was influenced by later generations and thought that red was also very good-looking, but if her mother liked her to wear white, she wouldn't mind.
She felt that neither she nor Fu Tinghan cared much about this, so she mentioned it to Fu Tinghan.
Who knew that Fu Tinghan, who had always been in charge of her, suddenly said: "You should wear Xuan color, Xuan Yi and silk clothes, which is also in line with the traditional wedding dress." ”
Zhao Hanzhang looked at him in surprise, "But my mother wants me to wear white." ”
Fu Tinghan rarely insisted, "You look better in dark colors." ”
After a pause, he said, "I also wear dark colors." ”
At the mention of this, there seemed to be light in his eyes, "I asked, the current wedding dress is still dominated by dark colors, and it is not forbidden for us to wear dark colors." ”
Professor Fu rarely insisted on one thing, and Zhao Hanzhang naturally wanted to support him, so she had to wear a traditional wedding dress.
Wang struggled for a while, but still agreed to his daughter.
But Ji Yuan and her henchmen refused to agree.
They believe that the traditional wedding dress is not enough to express Zhao Hanzhang's current status, so they need to change.
This change, that change, the wedding dress that came out is becoming more and more familiar, Zhao Song couldn't sit still, jumped out, didn't agree to change, and then changed it, are Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan going to wear wedding clothes to ascend the throne in place?
The wedding dress is like the little emperor's crown dress, are you going to be Sima Zhao?
