Chapter 22: Marriage
After reading hard all night, Zhou Ang couldn't help but sigh that the article left by his predecessor Zhou Ang was really good.
In his last life, he was in high school history textbooks, which was the last history he came into contact with, and after he went to college, he had nothing to do with this piece at all, at best, he just read a few books through history on the Internet, and naturally he couldn't talk about any historical skills, so it was said that he should have a hard time reading this kind of history book without the slightest annotation in the original text, but he felt very happy to read the five-volume "Book of Han" in one breath last night.
Relying on the strong ancient literary skills left by his predecessor Zhou Ang, Zhou Ang did not encounter any difficulties in the basics of sentence reading and literary meaning when reading these ancient history books, which also made this kind of reading a pure pleasant journey of seeking seclusion and exploring secrets.
I gained a lot of knowledge, learned a lot of history, and refined a lot of questions.
When he was woken up by the familiar sound of a rooster the next morning, Zhou Ang did not feel the slightest sleepiness, on the contrary, because of last night's harvest, he even felt that he seemed to be more and more deaf and clear.
After he woke up, he put on his clothes and pushed the door out, Lu Jin brought him a face wash, and after he freshened up, Lu Yuan's breakfast had already been made in the kitchen.
So Zhou Ang went to the backyard to eat with his mother and sister.
The new home has a new atmosphere, and my mother and sister seem to be sleeping well and in good spirits.
When all the dishes and chopsticks were arranged, Lu Yuan's family went out to the kitchen to eat with Lu Chunsheng and Lu Jin, and there was only a family of three left here, and they ate breakfast as usual.
During the meal, Zhou Ang casually talked about this morning's arrangement: he planned to take the Lu family and his grandfather together to go to the cattle market to have a look, buy the animals pulling the cart back, and then go to buy a new car.
Anyway, his work at the county Zhu Yamen is only half a day shift, and he goes to do these things in the morning without delaying his work.
Zhou Caishi did not object, but just admonished him, telling him to control the flowers if he had money.
Zhou Ang greeted him with a smile.
But when Zhou Ang wiped his mouth and was about to get up after eating, Zhou Caishi suddenly stopped him, and when Zhou Ang continued to sit down, she suddenly asked, "What do you think about what Mrs. Jiang said yesterday?"
Zhou Ang has a big head.
In fact, in recent times, there have been many people who have gone to Zhou's house to find Zhou Cai's family to propose marriage, but Zhou Ang didn't seem to care about what his mother meant, but yesterday Jiang Yun and his wife came over, and his mother seemed to be interested all of a sudden.
After thinking about it, Zhou Ang said, "Mother...... I'm only eighteen years old!"
Zhou Caishi heard the words and responded: "I should have been in a hurry a long time ago! I was really anxious and couldn't come in a hurry before, you haven't seen it, behind my back, I have asked a lot of people to help say goodbye, but at that time, our family situation was like that, the conditions were slightly better, we really couldn't climb high, the conditions were worse, don't talk about you, even I feel that I can't help but be wronged by my son, so there has been no movement." ”
After a pause, she said: "Finally, now that you have a chance, we have moved to this kind of place again, and this is based on your own ability, but it is more and more provocative than those who rely on your father, this matter naturally should not be delayed any longer! This is really because the people I entrusted before could only lead to the red line of that family background. ”
"If you don't have today, now that you are old, you have no choice but to pull out the general among the short, so you can find the best one among those people, but now that our family is well-off, we naturally want to pick the bride's affairs again. The cousin that Mrs. Jiang said about him, I think it's good when I hear it. ”
Zhou Ang was silent for a moment when he heard this, and said seriously: "Okay, I already know about this matter and have written it down." I'm sure I wouldn't take it lightly. But...... That's it, mother, I'll go back and visit that Jiang Bodao to see if I can find a way to meet me...... It's good to see you and listen to your conversation. ”
"Like now, just listening to the two of them, it's better to see it with your own eyes, right? This kind of blind marriage and dumb marriage, if you marry back to be an ugly woman, won't you wronged me? If a person looks very beautiful, but marries back but is a woman, won't he wronged you and Zihe?"
This time, Zhou Caishi nodded, but said again: "You said that although this is serious, I am afraid it is not easy to see a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, right?"
Zhou Ang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll go find that Jiang Bodao to find a way! If he wants to be a matchmaker, he has to help me find a way! Otherwise, he can't do it!"
Zhou Caishi laughed when he heard this, "It seems that people want to marry their cousin to you!"
Zhou Ang also laughed when he heard this.
But for him, there are naturally other ways. As long as you can get the other party's address, you don't have to have Jiang Yun to help you find a way.
Although it may be a little bit bad to use illusion on ordinary people, but it involves the happiness of your life, and the marriage is a major event, so you have to use it if you can't get it.
Although it is impossible to fantasize about falling in love freely like modern urban society, understanding it deeply and then deciding whether to get married, arranged marriages are actually not so annoying to him.
Because he has a way to observe it in detail first when he is arranged.
............
After breakfast, Zhou Ang took the Lu family and the two of them out together, ready to buy a car and a cow.
In fact, the money he had saved before, including the purchase of a yard and the purchase of some daily necessities in a new yard, had not been spent much, but he still felt the need to buy another set of transportation.
A group of three people went out, under the big sun, and soon arrived at Sogo.
In the northwest corner of Sogo Place, there is a cattle and horse market that occupies a large area, which is the largest cattle and horse market in the entire Lingzhou County, and may even be the largest in many nearby counties.
It's just that...... In the middle of summer, the smell of this beef and horse market is really not very good!
Among the three, Zhou Ang has not long since he learned to ride a horse, his understanding is limited, and he has never been in contact with other livestock, and Lu Jin will only kill pigs, so although Zhou Ang is the main family, this time he bought things, but he was completely led by Lu Chunsheng.
After entering the cattle and horse market, he looked at the cattle pens on both sides and began to explain to Zhou Ang: "If we are simply to pull a cart, it would be good to buy a mule." The mule has energy, not slow, but it doesn't look decent enough, and it is not as strong as the cow, but it is better than the donkey, the donkey is not strong, the temper is not small, and it can't be driven, the cow is mostly paddy field, the cow is the most suitable for the field, and the price is often not cheap......"
Zhou Ang listened and walked and watched, and walked out for a long time, only to suddenly find that Lu Chunsheng stopped here, and couldn't help asking: "What about the horse? Why don't you talk about the horse?"
Lu Chunsheng smiled and said, "Ma...... Not to mention the first-class healthy horses, they are the horses that generally pull the cart, that is, the kind that can only pull the cart but cannot be ridden, and it is not cheap. Because although the horsepower is not big, it is not small, the key is to run the most stable, and it looks good, because rich people like to match carriages, and the price is ...... Not cost-effective. ”
Zhou Ang nodded and asked, "Are there any good horses in this cattle and horse market?"
Lu Chunsheng thought for a while, pointed to the road, and said: "If I'm not mistaken, there are two Chang'an businesses over there, both of which are big-name brands, and they specialize in selling good horses from the north. The horses of those two families are indeed good, but they are expensive! Ordinary goods cost dozens of taels of silver, and the best real Northland horses often cost more than 100 taels...... Master, let's just take a look, shall we?"
Zhou Ang smiled, and only said after a while: "Let's take a look first, if it's too expensive, I'll talk about it later." But at least since I'm here, I'm going to have to look at them all and see what's good, right?"
Lu Chunsheng laughed when he heard this, and said, "That's nature." ”
So he led the way in front, and the group of three quickly arrived in front of the fence of the two big Chang'an businesses he said - at a glance, even a layman like Zhou Ang felt that these two horses were still excellent.
At first glance, I feel that the god horse is extraordinary.
Outside the fence, there are a lot of gorgeously dressed people, who are pointing around the horses, looking at a lot of noble sons, there are also many housekeepers, and there are many shopkeepers in the fence who are responsible for bringing the horses that the guests want to see for people to see.
Zhou Ang and his entourage stood outside the railing for a short time, and a guy took the initiative to come over to greet him, Zhou Ang pointed to a horse in the fence at random, let people lead it, Lu Chunsheng looked at each other, asked the price, and the guy said directly: "Young master has good eyesight, this is a good northland stallion, hit from the outside of the plug, you look at this coat color, look at this tooth, look at this mane, look at this crotch! Traveling thousands of miles a day is my bragging, five hundred miles a day, no problem!"
Lu Chunsheng listened to him blowing there, and when he saw that Zhou Ang didn't react, he was afraid that he would be moved, so he asked, "How much?"
"One hundred and twenty taels of silver! Don't be too expensive, you have to think about it, this is a horse snatched from the Xianbei people! How many dead people can snatch a horse from the Xianbei people, do you know? Besides, just to transport it from the north to our Lingzhou, this is a long way......
Without waiting for Lu Chunsheng to refute and ridicule his bragging, and without even waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhou Ang suddenly stretched out his hand and asked, "Is that person also your buddy?"
The guy in charge of introducing the horse looked back when he heard this, and when he saw what Zhou Ang was pointing to, he couldn't help but smile and said: "That master is not our buddy, he is a local official, but he is a friend of our host, he likes horses, he is a big expert, and he often comes and goes." ”
Zhou Ang let out an "oh", and without waiting for the guy to introduce more, he suddenly shouted: "Dajin!
Inside the fence, He Yi was looking up and down at a horse, and when he heard the words, he turned around, was stunned for a moment, and immediately walked over quickly.
Ask for a few monthly passes!
