Chapter 283: Straw Stickers, Fine Stickers, Dowry Gifts
Chu Zhen entered Su Shi's temporary home, a small house with two courtyards, there were few furnishings in the house, and most of them were old, thinking that these were the furniture when he lived in, and he had no intention of replacing them.
Noticing the way he looked around, Su Shi said with a smile: "I have long lost my property in Tokyo, and now I still need some old people to help me settle in Tokyo." They wanted to send some utensils and servants, but I refused all, and there was a piece of the court that was enough for the rest of their lives. ”
Chu Zhen looked at Su Huang and the others, and said: "Since you promised me to sort out the articles, poems, calligraphy and paintings of the past, it will definitely cost money, and the court is not enough. ”
With the current assets of the two of them, it is impossible to redeem their former calligraphy and paintings.
The peak period of their creation has also passed, and they are afraid that their current works will not be sold for sale, and they themselves are not satisfied.
"Polishing the pen?" Huang Tingjian looked at the matchmaker, not knowing what kind of pen and ink the immortal official had come to ask for.
The matchmaker hurriedly said a thousand blessings, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask this official, but is it a Su official who is known as Mr. Dongpo?" ”
Su Shi nodded: "The old man's number is Dongpo." ”
In fact, he is a Dongpo layman, but when he mentions it with others, he only needs to call Dongpo.
"Oops! It's really Mr. Dongpo! ”
The matchmaker in her fifties was full of surprise, complimented again and again, and said to Chu Zhen: "Chu Langjun can find Mr. Dongpo to write a letter of appointment, this marriage has become most of it, although rest assured, it will be done, and it can't be mistaken!" ”
"Marriage?"
Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian looked at it together, and the two were about to discuss how to sort out the past articles, calligraphy and paintings today, but they didn't expect the immortal official to visit them first.
Chu Zhen said ashamedly: "I have lived in the Li family for many days, and I have a close relationship with Li Xiaoniang, in order to avoid others talking behind my back, I want to get engaged to her as soon as possible, and it is not too late to marry her in the future."
I am not familiar with the letter of appointment of the Song Dynasty, and I am not good at writing, so I would like to ask Su Weng to write a letter of appointment for me. ”
Instead of asking for a teacher outside, it is better to ask Su Shi, who is known as the Song Sijia along with Huang Tingjian and others, and his calligraphy is also of a first-class level.
"I see."
Su Shi stroked his beard, looked at Chu Zhen a few times, and said with a smile: "Immortal official Zhilan Yushu, Longzhang Fengzi, and Uncle Wen's daughter are exactly the same match." However, the immortal official is too modest, since you are a historian of the immortal family, how can your literary style be general? ”
Chu Zhen coughed for a while, embarrassed to say his situation.
In ancient times, the officials who could repair history were definitely contemporary Confucians, such as Li Shimin ordered Fang Xuanling to repair the Book of Jin, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Song Lian to repair the History of the Yuan Dynasty.
"Immortal official?"
The matchmaker was shocked, looked at the prospective groom, and was a little unconvinced, suspecting that she had heard it wrong.
Su Shi said to the scholar: "You lead the matchmaker to the house to drink tea, and wait for me to write a letter to Li's house to ask for a straw sticker, and then go to the matchmaker." ”
The matchmaker didn't have anything else, but Chu Zhen was strange: "What is a straw sticker?" ”
When the matchmaker heard this, her eyes widened, and she had an expression of "you don't even know the grass sticker and dare to let me talk about the matchmaker".
Chu Zhen was embarrassed.
Su Shi and Huang Tingjian both laughed, and after the matchmaker left, Su Shi explained: "Xianguan, you are right to come to me, I will write a letter and send it to the Li family to propose marriage on behalf of the Li family, and the Li family will reply with a straw sticker, which will write the name of the daughter's family, eight characters, parents' family history, and field property, and the matchmaker will bring the straw sticker back, and then go to divination, if it is auspicious, then return a straw sticker to the Li family, and his family will go to divination." ”
Huang Tingjian reminded him: "Zizhan, the immortal official asks to marry the daughter of the Li family, if you want to come to divination, you don't have to, it must be a match!" ”
Chu Zhen laughed, this was the same as what Li Qingzhao's mother Wang said.
However, Li Qingzhao was born in the seventh year of Yuanfeng, and he was born in 20xx AD.
"That's right."
Su Shi also laughed, and continued: "After having a straw sticker, the matchmaker asked the two families to prepare a detailed sticker, also known as a fixed sticker, on which the names of the great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were written, and then the dowry and dowry were written.
You go to buy wine, buy eight bottles, the bottle is decorated with safflower, this wine is to let the Li family girl quickly agree to the marriage proposal, called: Xu Kou Wine, called: Xia Hongding.
Carried to the Li family with a burden, it is also called paying the burden red.
Lu Zhi praised me in a poem: Honest son-in-law Ah Xun, buy a red wine tank. That's where the allusion comes from. ”
Huang Tingjian stroked his beard and laughed.
Chu Zhen roughly understood, which was different from the process of finding a matchmaker as he imagined, and then accepting lottery, asking names, and Najib.
Before accepting the lottery - that is, before soliciting Li Qingzhao's opinion, you have to ask someone to write a sketch sticker, first on the birthday of the eight characters, by the way, check the household registration, check the field property.
After being satisfied, he began to look at the dowry and dowry, and both parties were satisfied, and the man began to give gifts to the woman's house.
The three books and six rituals such as Nacai, asking the name, and Najib are the weekly rites.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a form of straw paste and fine sticker, before the formal marriage between the two families, check the family background first, and look at the dowry and dowry.
are all satisfied, in fact, they have completed the first three steps of Najib and started to recruit - that is, to give a dowry.
But Su Shi went on to say again, breaking Chu Zhen's imagination:
If she is satisfied, she will insert a golden hairpin into her crown, which is called a hairpin, and if she is not satisfied, she will send a silk to her, which is called a shock.
Now that the immortal official has seen the little lady of the Li family, he must be satisfied, and he only needs to insert the golden hairpin when the time comes. ”
Su Shi finished explaining the etiquette.
Chu Zhen heard that only men pick women when they meet, but if the woman is not satisfied, she can probably regret it, but her reputation will not be good.
"Thank you Su Weng and Fu Weng for explaining, I have memorized it!"
Chu Zhen bowed to express his gratitude.
"The immortal official is tired of etiquette, so why should he thank him?"
Su Shi said with a smile, ordering the scholar to prepare paper and pen.
Chu Zhen was ready to admire Su Dongpo's writing, and said that he would just call him by his name in the future.

"Dare to ask the immortal official, can there be parents and family members in the heavenly realm? What are the treasures of the fields? ”
Su Shi's title has not changed, but he has made a difficulty, how to write the family history of the immortal official?
Although the family property is used in drafting and pasting, the first letter is not yet used, but sooner or later it will be used.
Chu Zhen thought for a while: "I want to go back and check the name of my great-grandfather, I don't have to write the official position, as for the family property...... Just write Wang Youjun's real work "Snow and Cold Post". ”
Suddenly, Su Shi and Huang Tingjian brushed together.
Especially Huang Tingjian, he admires "Orchid Pavilion Preface" the most.
Chu Zhen laughed and continued: "There is also Zhan Ziqian's "Northern Qi Dynasty Queen's Lucky Jinyang Palace Map", some antiques from the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, Han Dynasty bronze chandeliers, turtle and phoenix smokers, Sui Dynasty green glass bottles, etc. In addition, there are some Song and Yuan antiques, and those Ru kilns sent by Zhao Ji are not counted, and they can be written in the dowry. ”
Su Huang and the others were amazed when they heard this, these are the family properties of the time-space historian? It's really not ordinary.
Presumably, the immortal official also has other treasures, but he has not said it.
"Speaking of dowry ......"
Chu Zhen thought for a while and said to Su Shi: "Just trouble Su Weng to write 'a villa, a dowry, a sports car, and a few jewelry', that's all." ”
Now it is not advisable to have a high bride price, but it is Li Qingzhao who Chu Zhen wants to marry.
Not to mention these bride prices, even if they are ten times more, they can't compare to Li Qingzhao's talent.
Chu Zhen thought about it again, and then said: "These are vulgar rites, plus two elixirs for longevity. ”
The two of them were not surprised, it was not surprising that the immortal official had an elixir.
"How about writing the dowry on the sticker tomorrow?"
Su Shi asked him.
The letter was sent to Li's house, and Uncle Li Wen replied to him and pasted it twice, or two days, to say the least.
And now Li Gefei should be in the yamen, and he won't know about it until tonight.
"Okay!"
Chu Zhen agreed.
Su Shi thought carefully, and then asked Chu Zhen: "Can the immortal official know the name of Uncle Wen's daughter?" ”
"Yes, her name is Qingzhao."
Since Su Shi asked, it showed that it was appropriate to ask for a name at this time, and Chu Zhen told him directly.
"That's the name."
After asking clearly, Su Shi put down his pen to write, and after a while, he finished writing the letter and motioned him to come and see.
Chu Zhen looked down and found that it was written:
"Shishu to Uncle Wen to sit on the right ......"
A passage of reminiscences of the past, then explained Chu Zhen's intention, and praised Li Gefei's daughter for her talent, "Ask the girl to be clear, and her intention is diligent and diligent...... Thanksgiving...... I hope to pay the grass post early, and the immortal official has been fine since he came. Shi Shuzhi, the second day of September. ”
Chu Zhen is 120,000 satisfied!
With a wave of his hand, he took out the prepared pen polishing fee and gave it to Su Weng!
It startled the two of them.
"This is Dongpo meat!"
Chu Zhen smiled and introduced the pen fee, except for turning on the table lamp, only Dongpo meat was specially bought by him back to Haicheng.
"Dongpo meat?!"
Not only did Huang Tingjian not know about it, but even Su Dongpo was frightened, and after a careful look, he found that it was pork.
And it is braised in a braised dish, which is somewhat similar to a dish he often eats in Huangzhou, which is also cut into cubes and stewed slowly in a pot.
Chu Zhen smiled and explained the origin of Dongpo meat.
"It's from a thousand years later...... Or use Zizhan's number as the name of the dish! ”
Huang Tingjian looked at this dish and said with a smile: "It seems that Zizhan is very good at cooking, and a dish has been passed down for thousands of years." ”
Su Shi said with a smile: "It's not all bad that I was demoted to Huangzhou, but I also left such a famous dish." ”
"It's not just that."
Chu Zhen complimented him: "You have always left a lot of traces in Xuzhou, Hangzhou, Changzhou, etc., people remember for thousands of years, even if it is the remote Qiongzhou Island, after Su Weng's education, there was the first person to lift, and in the next thousand years, it is even more like opening the cultural context, nearly 100 Jinshi, more than 700 people!" ”
"Qiongzhou has made a move? Who is it? Su Shi's vicissitudes of life were full of surprise.
"It seems to be surnamed Jiang."
"That must be my student Jiang Tangzuo!"
Su Shi was very pleased to hear about these afterlife events from him, and immediately asked the servant to heat up the Dongpo meat, and chatted with Chu Zhen and Lu Zhi while eating.
After learning that Qiongzhou had become a tourist attraction in later generations, Su Shi was surprised and couldn't help but be happy for the people there.
He was belittled for many years, and when he learned that he was going to Qiongzhou Island, he once thought that he would die in that remote place, but who knows, when he went to Danzhou on the island, he found that there was already a school there.
"If you lose the east, you will reap the mulberry."
Su Shi was completely relieved of his degraded career, and raised his glass to drink with Chu Zhen and Lu Zhi.
It wasn't until Lu Zhi reminded him that he should send the letter to the Li Mansion that he came back to his senses, smiled and ordered the servant to envelop the letter and let the matchmaker send it to the Li family.
