Song Shizun Zhou Li, women's fifteen and Xuan.

Performed the ceremony, indicating adulthood, can be called the name, marriage matching.

Of course, the regulations are so, but the people don't care so much.

The vast majority of women are married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

However, a high-ranking family like the Ma family still pays attention to this.

After glancing at Ma Shuyao again, Han Zhen refused and said, "Then wait for the little lady to make a salute." ”

Being young is only one aspect, the main reason is that Han Zhen doesn't want to have too much to do with the Ma family.

Once it is involved, it will be okay for the Ma family to be obedient in the future, but if it is disobedient, it will pull out a series of bad things.

Ma Yanmin couldn't hear the meaning of the prevarication in his words.

By the time Ma Shu and Lu arrived, it would be the beginning of next year, and although it was only three or five months, it was enough for many changes to happen.

Thinking of this, Ma Yanmin waved his hand.

The maids in the lobby retreated one after another, leaving only the four of them.

Ma Yanmin said: "County magistrate, it's better to finalize it first, and then pass through the door after you have done the ceremony." Youyou is the eldest daughter of my Ma family, although she is allowed to be a concubine, but the dowry will not be less, and the county magistrate Bao is satisfied. ”

There is no dowry in the concubine room, which Han Zhen knows well.

At this moment, hearing Ma Yanmin say this, he couldn't help but move slightly in his heart, and said with a smile: "What does Ma Yanmin mean by this." ”

"Thirty million!"

Ma Yanmin stretched out three fingers and said with a solemn expression: "The county magistrate is now at the time of his great ambitions, whether it is recruiting troops or reforming the officials, he needs to use money. These 30 million are a sincere heart of my Ma family. ”

Hiss!

Han Zhen's face was as usual, but there was a storm in his heart.

30 million yuan, which is almost equivalent to the tax of the entire Great Song Dynasty for a year.

You must know that Wang Hao almost dried up and fished for a nationwide collection of money, and in the end he only collected more than 60 million yuan.

In contrast, you can intuitively feel how rich this dowry is.

Han Zhen suppressed the thoughts surging in his heart, and said half-believingly: "Isn't Ma Yuan wai telling me, after Emperor Zhenzong's experience, can the Ma family still have such family assets?" ”

Speaking of Emperor Zhenzong, a trace of resentment flashed in Ma Yanmin's eyes, and explained: "The county magistrate doesn't know, my Ma family is not a greedy person who forgets money and righteousness, Liu Zhu entrusted all the family assets to each other, and the ancestors did not move, even if they later donated half to Emperor Taizu, they were forced to do so. ”

"Later, the Guangmen Court relied on the ancestors of my Ma family to earn every penny with both hands. hated Emperor Zhenzong, coveted the other half of the treasure, and did the things that sow discord and framed him. However, Emperor Zhenzong didn't know, just the tens of millions of assets of my Ma family were the remaining half of the treasures. ”

Not to mention Han Zhen, even Ma Yundi and Ma Shuyao on the side were surprised.

Obviously, they don't know either.

Thinking about it, such a large sum of money is a blessing in disguise for the Ma family.

Once it is leaked out, with the virtues of today's officials, I am afraid that the old things of the real sect will be repeated.

Today's Zhao Ji has done whatever it takes to make money.

Whoever can make money for him will be the prime minister!

Ma Yanmin's move is a big gamble.

The weight of a daughter of the Ma family is far from enough, but if you add a dowry of 30 million yuan, it is completely different.

This is completely different from when Ma Ximeng donated half of the family wealth, at that time Zhao Da had already won the world, and Ma Ximeng's move was just the icing on the cake.

But Han Zhen is the place where the incident started now, and these 30 million yuan are equivalent to sending charcoal in the snow.

This friendship is not insignificant.

Han Zhen was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "It's all a family, what dowry is not a dowry, grandfather-in-law said that these are too foreign!" ”

No way, he gave too much.

30 million is enough for him to recruit as many officials, build as many firearms, and as many heavy cavalry as he builds......

"Hahaha!"

This sentence of grandfather-in-law made Ma Yanmin's heart happy, and the old man was very relieved.

I saw him smile and ordered: "Youyou, what are you doing in a daze, don't pour wine for your husband!" ”

A touch of blush climbed up Ma Shuyao's cheeks along her neck, bit her lip lightly, suppressed the shyness in her heart, and she stepped forward.

Controlling his slightly trembling hands, he picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine, then held the wine glass with both hands and bowed.

"Husband...... Husband, please drink! ”

In the end, she is the daughter of a wealthy family, and the whole set of actions is smooth, dignified and elegant, and has a unique sense of beauty.

As I said earlier, it is better to take a concubine than to marry a wife, and there are many etiquettes.

After being included in the house, the concubine only needs to toast a glass of wine to her husband and wife, which is considered a courtesy.

That's why Ma Yanmin asked Ma Shuyao to toast.

After drinking this cup of wine, Ma Shuyao is Han Zhen's concubine.

Looking at Ma Shuyao's blushing pretty face, Han Zhen sighed secretly in his heart.

Just stay by your side for two years.

Feeling Han Zhen's gaze, Ma Shuyao's heart became even more ashamed, his eyes drooped slightly, and he didn't dare to look at him at all.

Han Zhen took the wine glass and drank it all in the expectant eyes of Ma Yanmin's father and son.

Ma Yanmin greeted with a smile: "The county magistrate tastes the skills of the cooks at home." ”

"Hmm."

Han Zhen nodded, picked up a chopstick and fried lotus root and put it in his mouth.

For a while, the atmosphere on the wine table became extremely harmonious.

Ma Shuyao did not leave, standing quietly beside Han Zhen, pouring wine and food for him.

After tasting the dishes on the table one by one, Han Zhen put down his chopsticks and said, "Youyou is still young, so let her spend more time with her family at home." Besides, the current situation is uncertain, and I don't have much to worry about. When it is stable, it will be a big operation, and you will pass through the door. ”

The Ma family's dowry is so rich, so Han Zhen naturally wants to repay the favor.

Although you don't need to write three books and six appointments, you still have to do the scenery and give the Ma family face.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, a trace of relief flashed in the eyes of Ma Yanmin and Ma Yundi.

Ma Shu's head drooped slightly, and said softly: "But according to the husband's orders." ”

After drinking, she is Han Zhen's person, so naturally she has to focus on her husband, and her mother's family is secondary.

"Come on, come on, drink!"

Ma Yanmin was in a good mood and raised a glass to invite.

A meal of wine is eaten until the middle of the month.

After the maids in the house took down the wine and food, Ma Shuyao showed off his superb tea ordering skills and personally ordered a cup of tea for Han Zhen and the three of them.

I saw a thick and delicate layer of green foam floating on top of the ordered tea soup.

On the foam, you can faintly see the green mountains and distant dais, like an ink painting.

This is the famous tea soup painting of the Song Dynasty.

In fact, any coffee painting in later generations is the leftover thing that our ancestors played.

"Good craftsmanship."

Han Zhen couldn't help but praise.

Ma Shuyao smiled lightly, and said humbly: "This is just a small skill of carving insects, it is said that the tea artists in Tokyo can sketch a miscellaneous show on the tea soup." ”

After taking a shallow sip, Han Zhen put down the teacup.

Seeing this scene, Ma Shuyao asked, "But the tea ordered by the slave is not in line with the husband's taste?" ”

Han Zhen waved his hand: "I'm just not used to drinking it, this kind of good tea, drinking in the mouth of a rough person like me, like a cow chewing a peony." ”

Bai Juyi once said in a poem: People have their own preferences, and things can't have both. The husband doesn't like to drink some tea, so he should change a cup of fragrant drink. ”

Ma Shuyao said, and was about to get up and prepare a fragrant drink.

Han Zhen shook his head and said, "Don't bother, just change a cup of herbal tea." ”

Hearing this, Ma Shuyao nodded and helped him pour him a new cup of herbal tea.

At this time, Ma Yanmin asked, "The county magistrate plans to use troops against Zhang Wanxian?" ”

"Hmm."

Han Zhen said: "Zhao Ting and the governor of Weizhou through a letter a while ago, negotiated to put down the rebellion together. This is a good time, take advantage of the Northern Navy to contain Changping County, take Shouguang first, and then conquer Changping! ”

Ma Yanmin said with deep thought: "It is indeed a rare opportunity. ”

He doesn't understand military affairs, but he understands the situation.

"Zhang Wanxian is just a clown, there is nothing to be afraid of, the so-called 100,000 daring troops are just a group of rabble."

Although Han Zhen's tone was flat, he exuded an unparalleled confidence all over his body.

Ma Shuyao's heart was fascinated, and his heart secretly promised.

After chatting a few more words, and after drinking a cup of herbal tea, Han Zhen got up and said, "It's not early, I should go back too, thank you grandfather for your hospitality tonight." ”

"Family, why do you need to be so polite."

Ma Yanmin pretended to be displeased, and then asked, "How many days does the county magistrate have free time?" If you are free, you can go to get the dowry with the old man. ”

Han Zhen was curious: "Where is the treasure?" ”

"Linzi!"

Ma Yanmin's expression was slightly strange.

Linzi County?

Han Zhen was stunned.

He didn't expect that Liu Xu's other half of his treasure was hidden in his lair.

Ma Yanmin explained with a smile: "My ancestor was originally from Linzi County, and after his career, he moved to Yidu County. Count it up, and the county magistrate or the township party. ”

Han Zhen muttered: "I'm going to go back to Linzi in a few days, so it's better to set it in three days." ”

He did have to go back, and the gunpowder workshop was nearing completion.

If he didn't arrange the firearms himself, he really couldn't rest assured.

In addition, there are some matters that need to be explained in Changzhi County.

By the way, I will take Leap Niang and An Niang over.

"Okay, that's three days away."

Ma Yanmin said, turned his head to Ma Shuyao and ordered: "Yoyo, send one to your husband." ”

"Grandpa, you know."

Ma Shuyao's tone was shy.

"Farewell!"

Han Zhen arched his hand and walked out of the hall.

In the courtyard of the Ma family's house, colorful lanterns are hung high, emitting a soft light.

Ma Shuyao walked beside Han Zhen, secretly glanced at Han Zhen from time to time, and her deer-like pure eyes were full of curiosity.

It was only at this time that she found that her husband was quite handsome.

It's just that the momentum is too strong on weekdays, which makes people ignore their appearance.

After walking for a while, she suddenly spoke: "The slave still doesn't know who is in the husband's family." ”

She was originally innocent, and she was just too shy before.

Now, that shyness has passed.

Han Zhen couldn't help but smile and said, "Since it's a family, let's talk about the situation in the family, so as not to be born." My name is Han Zhen, I am the second in the family, my parents died early, and the eldest brother also died two years ago, leaving only a widowed sister-in-law. ”

Ma Shuyao said softly: "My husband's life experience is so miserable. ”

Han Zhen said with emotion: "It's not miserable, although I was a little poor before, I still lived a chic life." ”

It's interesting to think about it now.

"Chic?"

Ma Shuyao couldn't help but be stunned, but she was a little cute.

"Your husband and I used to be a prodigal son in Linzi County, how can we not be chic."

Han Zhen said, didn't hold back for a while, and gently pinched her slightly baby fat cheek.

"Yikes!"

Ma Shuyao snorted lightly, and said in a greasy voice: "How can the husband be like A-Niang, he loves to pinch the slave family." ”

Gently twisting his fingers, feeling the remaining pink and delicate between his fingers, Han Zhen sighed in his heart.

Tut!

It's a pity that I have to raise it for two years.

While laughing, the two walked through the corridor, crossed the weeping flower door, and came all the way to the outside of the mansion.

When the servants saw this, they immediately brought their horses from the stables.

Han Zhen waved his hand and ordered, "It's late at night, let's go back." ”

Hearing this, Ma Shuyao did not go back immediately, but stepped forward, untied the gold wire hollow carved sachet on his waist, and stuffed it into Han Zhen's hand: "This sachet slave has been wearing it since he was a child, and I hope that my husband will accept it." ”

After saying that, Ma Shuyao blinked his big eyes and looked at Han Zhen.

Han Zhen's heart moved, knowing that this sachet was a love thing, and it was time for him to return the gift.

After a moment of silence, he took off the hand knife tied to the side of the war horse, handed it over, and said, "I have been poor since I was a child, and I have no long things, so I am accompanied by a knife and a lance. This hand knife was bought a few years ago, and it is not a good knife, but it has accompanied me from the beginning, and I have given it to you today. ”

Ma Shuyao took the knife and nodded solemnly: "The slave will definitely treasure it." ”

Han Zhen turned over his horse and ordered, "Go back." ”

"Hmm."

Ma Shuyao nodded, but his feet did not move.

Seeing this, Han Zhen didn't say anything, and left on his horse.

waited until Han Zhen's back disappeared from view, and then Ma Shuyao turned around and walked into the mansion.

On the way back, she kept looking at the hand knife in her hand.

As Han Zhen said, it is not a good knife, the handle and scabbard are all cheap jujube wood, and a layer of burlap is wrapped around it.

Hold the handle of the knife and gently pull out a piece of the blade, and you can see that there are several places on the blade that have been curled.

Ma Shuyao didn't care, her eyes were full of smiles.

At this moment, Ma Yanmin's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "This is a token of love given to you by your husband?" ”

Ma Shu was startled, and then realized that Grandpa didn't know when he came to him.

When he came back to his senses, Ma Shuyao hummed softly.

Ma Yanmin smiled, and his tone was pleased: "Grandpa is afraid that you don't like it and wronged yourself." Now it seems that Grandpa's red line is not wrong. ”

"Grandpa is making fun of Yoyo again."

A hint of shyness flashed in Ma Shuyao's eyes, and he said tiredly.

"It's not early, go back early to rest, and tell your mother the news by the way."

"Grandpa also rested earlier."

After a word of advice, Ma Shuyao held the knife in his hand, took a brisk step, and jumped back to the courtyard of the back house.

Which girl doesn't have spring.

It's just that the marriage event is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.

All a woman can do is to fantasize about her future husband in the boudoir.

Ma Shuyao naturally fantasized that her husband should be an all-rounder who can kill the enemy on the horse, govern the country when he gets off the horse, and he is familiar with the four books and five classics......

It's just that now, the fantasy in my heart has been replaced by Han Zhen unconsciously.
