Chapter 12: Aunt Zhen
“......”
Hearing that his dirty pants were stolen, Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but have a picture in his mind:
A ragged idiot, holding his obscene pants, showed an intoxicated look.
In an instant, he felt a burst of creepy, gritted his teeth and said: "From today onwards, in groups of three, take turns on duty all night, and be sure to find out the thing that pretends to be a ghost for this world!" ”
"Yes!"
"Also, from now on, don't touch the clothes of this world, use the money you gave you last time to recruit a few maids, and leave the food, clothing and daily life of this world to them."
"Humble duty understands."
"Let's go down." Ren Pingsheng waved his hand tiredly.
Li Yong saluted and left, and after a while he went and returned.
"Shizi, the officials of the Ministry of Rites ask to see me."
"What's going on?"
"I just said that I came for the marriage of the prince and the princess."
"Let him in."
"Yes."
Not for a while.
A middle-aged man in a scarlet robe came to Ren Pingsheng, and after saluting, he said with a straight face: "The Ministry of Rites and the Master of Ceremonies have discussed, the day when the prince will enter the palace is set in seven days, I don't know what the prince wants?" ”
The process of marrying the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is almost the same as that of the people, and it is composed of six parts: Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting periods, and welcoming in person.
The so-called Nacai means that the man pays the bride price to the woman.
Different from the folk bride price, when a member of the royal family marries, the bride price has a fixed regulation, and the sum does not exceed 1,000 taels of silver.
Of course, this number is also astronomical for ordinary people.
If every man has to pay a bride price of 1,000 taels when he marries a wife, I am afraid that the entire Great Zhou will not be long before it will perish.
"Yes." Ren Pingsheng didn't have much to do in Beijing, and he didn't have anything to say about the day when he adopted it.
"What's more, after Nacai, the Ministry of Rites will hold a luncheon for the prince in the palace, and in addition to the saint and the queen, the royal relatives and nobles of the same generation as the princess will attend, please prepare the prince." The official of the Ministry of Rites said.
"When the time comes, do you want to go out of the palace to hunt, or do you want to compete in cultivation?" Ren Pingsheng asked.
"Not at all."
"So what do you have to prepare?"
“......”
This question made the officials of the Ministry of Rites stunned for a moment, and they were silent for a while before saying: "When the time comes, the princes and princesses may chant poems against each other, visit the garden and enjoy the scenery, and the prince can prepare one or two masterpieces, and recite them when the time comes, so that the princes and nobles will be impressed." ”
It seems that it will impress them, and what good will it do to this son.
Ren Pingsheng sneered, nodded and said, "Got it." ”
"Then the lower official will retire first."
"Hmm." Ren Pingsheng waved his hand.
After the departure of the Ministry of Rites officials.
Ren Pingsheng stood in place, deep in thought.
"Na Cai wants 1,000 taels of silver, Na Zheng wants 1,000 taels of silver, and when Princess Chang'an is brought home, food, clothing, housing and transportation are another expense, and my father and mother have not replied to the letter so far, so I have to hurry up and earn silver."
The so-called recruitment is a dowry, after the marriage by the princess to bring back the man, the court has no fixed regulations, how much to give depends on the man.
Generally speaking, a colt with status and status like Ren Pingsheng is a dowry of about 1,000 taels of silver.
"Auntie promised to help me ask about the herbs yesterday, and I don't know if there are any results today."
"Even if there is a result, my aunt should not go down the mountain for this, so I have to run again."
Ren Pingsheng still has a B number in his heart, and understands that even if he licks his aunt comfortably, he is also an elder.
It has always been the juniors who visit the elders, how can the elders visit the juniors?
Therefore, after practicing swords for a while, Ren Pingsheng left Ren's Mansion and went to Baiyun Mountain.
............
Jingshi, suburbs.
The mountains are empty, like a layer of light veil, looking at it from afar, full of poetry.
Ren Pingsheng rode a rented fast horse, galloped all the way, and arrived at the foot of Baiyun Mountain in less than an hour.
As usual, he prayed to the disciples of the Taoist sect, and after receiving the promise, he tied the fast horse to the foot of the mountain and walked up the mountain.
It's still the familiar pavilion of the Water Pavilion.
Ren Pingsheng didn't see his aunt.
As far as the eye could see, there was only a strange young woman in the water pavilion.
She was wearing a light-colored Luo skirt covered with blue light gauze, which was elegant and a little more dusty.
When you get closer, you can see a delicate goose egg face, with picturesque eyebrows and star-like eyes, giving people an elegant and gentle feeling.
"Who is this woman? What about my aunt? ”
Ren Pingsheng looked at the woman in front of him, a little dazed.
At this time, the woman was also looking at him, and seeing that he was silent, she took the initiative to ask, "Are you Pingsheng?" ”
The voice and appearance are average, gentle and moving.
"In the next life, I saw my sister."
Ren Pingsheng didn't know the identity of the woman in front of him, so he just thought it was a female disciple of the Daomen and said hello.
When the woman heard the word "sister", she smiled and asked, "I look like my age to be your sister?" ”
Ren Pingsheng chuckled in his heart, thinking, it's over, it's over.
"Sister, don't care, I'm blind on my face, and I can't tell my age."
Ren Pingsheng was busy remedy, hoping to ease the relationship with this female disciple of the Daomen.
After all, even a woman with a pure heart and few desires doesn't want others to call her age too big.
"Sister ......"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You are quite good at talking." ”
That's of course.
My aunt said the same thing.
Ren Pingsheng thought so in his heart, and then he heard the Daoist disciple who took him up the mountain interrupt and said, "Senior Sister Bai, the disciple still wants to water the medicine field, so he will retire first." ”
"Well, go ahead."
The woman looked at the disciple, her tone still gentle.
"Bai, Senior Sister Bai?"
Hearing this title, Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but think of a person's name, Bai Youwei, that is, his aunt.
In the water pavilion, the woman saw Ren Pingsheng's expression in a trance, and chuckled: "That's right, I am your aunt, Bai Youwei." ”
“......”
At this moment, Ren Pingsheng was completely stunned, and blurted out: "Who played chess with me a few days ago and accompanied me to take medicine?" ”
"She didn't tell you......"
Bai Youwei said: "She is the second princess of the current saint, Yun and Princess Liu Yunmeng. ”
Cloud and Princess Liu Yunmeng......
Ren Pingsheng muttered the name, his eyes wide open, and his face was incredulous.
I've been licking my feelings for so many days, and I'm licking the wrong person!
"Speaking of which, there is also a relationship between you and her, when your marriage with Princess Chang'an is decided, she will be your sister-in-law, and she should call you brother-in-law when she sees you." Bai Youwei said with a smile.
Ren Pingsheng was in a trance again when he heard this, and his mood became extremely complicated.
It's just a matter of licking the wrong person, it's still your sister-in-law who licks.
I thought of a little aunt in front of my sister-in-law a few days ago.
Rao is thick-skinned skin, at this moment, Ren Pingsheng also feels that his face is hot, and he can't wait to find a hole to get into, and never come out again!
This level of social death, he has experienced it for the first time in two lifetimes.
He could already imagine how Liu Yunmeng held back his laughter when he saw him calling her aunt!
"Sure enough, the more beautiful a woman is, the more she can lie!"
"Except for my mother, women don't have a good thing!"
Ren Pingsheng slandered a few words in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, calming down, I plan to discuss the matter of buying herbs with the real aunt in front of me.
Before he could speak, he suddenly heard Aunt Zhen say:
"You called her aunt?"
