Chapter 16: Physiognomy I
The newlyweds have nothing to say, and the next day, come out.
Han Niang came to congratulate her again, first let her sit down, serve some refreshments to eat, wait a while, and ask: "How was Master Zhang last night?"
Zhang Xuanning smiled: "Not bad." As he spoke, he took out another ingot of five taels of silver into his sleeve and handed it to Han Niang, this is a return gift for marrying a concubine, saying that in this world, for mortals, it is nothing more than the three words of power, money, and color, Han Niang, of course, it is impossible to have power, so money can move her more.
When I saw the snowflake silver, I happily accepted it, and saluted twice in a row, saying: "Thank you Zhang Ye, thank you Zhang Ye!"
Not long after, Wei Zhenzhen also came out of it, she didn't wear a wedding dress, she was wearing a silk emerald green dress, wearing a gold ring on her bun, detached from the coarse cloth, and then got a little bit of rouge, she was indeed born beautiful, and there was a faint fragrance on her body.
She bowed her head and saluted: "Husband." ”
Facing this young husband who is a few years younger than her, although he pestered Mian several times last night, when he came out today, he still felt like he was in a dream, and then said: "Thank you Han Niang." ”
Han Niang said: "I gave birth to a boy and a half girl early, and I thanked me, although I love money, but I still have a number in my heart, if I don't see you in the same place, I don't have a good life, then I have a lot of trouble?"
As he spoke, he looked at it again and smiled: "Look at you now, you are what you should be." ”
has neither a wife nor parents, although Su Ye is here, but he is not the father who changed his surname, so he doesn't have to "take tea", he said a few words at the moment, and when Han Niang left, the two sat side by side and gossiped.
However, in this world, there is no saying that women are not allowed to go on the street, to a certain extent, there is still a bit of feminism in this world, Zhang Xuanning said immediately: "There are no big rules in my family, and there are no servants or anything at present, but in the small wandering group outside, there are a few little girls, and they will be accepted, you can discipline yourself and do something for you." ”
After a pause, he said: "All the people in my family, if they don't live up to me, I will not live up to them, you can rest assured, first familiarize yourself with this manor, your parents can also come to the door often, it doesn't matter, I will give you two hundred taels of silver, you go to manage it, the monthly gold, even if it is ten taels." ”
In ancient times, there were many people, and there must be a law to run a family, although they were relatives, but they also came according to the family law, and the monthly gold was shared, in fact, not to mention the big family, that is, at this time, the princesses and concubines of the imperial palace also had certain standards for support.
Generally speaking, there are standards for clothing, food, housing, and monthly gold, even if it is a first-class family in the city, the wife can dispose of it freely every month, and it is only thirty taels of silver per month, and as for the concubine, it is even more three taels of silver, which is considered rich, as for Wei Zhenzhen, the monthly pocket money obtained is only fifty wen.
"Yes, husband. Wei Zhenzhen couldn't help but be full of joy, money is good, with it, you can have a relatively comfortable life, the clan exchanges, parents can also get their hands on it, this is the real human nature, the kind of despises wealth, in modern terms, it is a little child, or a disease-free petty bourgeoisie.
Money is not omnipotent, but without money, it is absolutely impossible, the family is poor and everything is sad, this sentence is still true, this is the world of red dust.
"Well, this is for you, although in terms of your age, you have already passed the time of cultivation, but it is still quite effective to cultivate your body and change your qi, take it, after ten or eight years, you will know the difference. Zhang Xuanning took out a thin volume of mental methods, I don't know why, what he learned is to a large extent a specialty to improve his body and temperament, so according to this principle, it is also appropriate to give it to her.
"Thank you, husband, can I go home to see my mother?"
"Yes, bring a small gift, when you want to go in the future, just talk to me, I may be very busy in the future, when I am not there, Zhenzhen, you only have to deal with the affairs inside and outside the manor." Zhang Xuanning said with a smile, then paused, and said: "Call the brothers to come to see the ceremony, they are in a hurry." ”
"Yes, husband. ”
At that moment, Zhang Xuanning went to open the inner door, and sure enough, there was not much time, a large group of brothers came in, everyone who came in to congratulate, ordinary brothers gave 1 tael of red envelopes, and the team leader gave 2 taels of red envelopes, so that nearly 100 taels of silver were also distributed.
However, these brothers did not take it for nothing, and they also took out gifts one after another, and the subordinate brothers of the incense lord who did his first errand, and received the silver and the benefits, of course, did what they could, so they received about two hundred taels of silver.
"Hello sister-in-law. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling stepped forward.
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? I think it's a little ugly, just call it, I'm your eldest brother, the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother!" Zhang Xuanning said with a smile, he knew that these two boys, because they lost their parents, to this day, there is still a kind of yearning for their parents, otherwise how can they easily recognize that there is not much older than them as their mother?
Wei Zhenzhen gave them more buns back then, but in their minds, of course, it was different, so after hesitating, the two shouted: "Zhenniang!"
Many brothers burst into laughter.
Of course, it was lively, preparing to eat another meal at noon, and at near noon, a little brother came outside, and said: "Master Xiang, someone came to the door, saying that he had met you in Hangzhou before and wanted to come in." ”
"Have you seen it in Hangzhou?"
Zhang Xuanning listened, and his heart moved again, he was very sensitive to his senses now, so he thought about it and said, "How old?"
"I'm probably in my forties, and my clothes aren't good, so I'm probably here to beg for a glass of wine!"
For a while, I had a vague impression in my heart, and I couldn't think of it, so I immediately said: "Just invite him in." Brothers, be quiet, don't show jokes to outsiders. ”
As soon as the people came in, Zhang Xuanning immediately remembered that it was the day in Hangzhou, when he met the gray-clothed man in the tavern, the feeling of heartbeat became more and more obvious, he stood up, stepped forward, and bowed his hand: "It turned out to be Mr., I missed the welcome, and Mr. Wang didn't think it was strange." Yesterday I married a concubine, and today Mr. came here, it is really fate, please wait a moment, let's sit together!"
The gray-clothed man still looked like he took it for granted, his eyes looked around, nodded slightly, swept over everyone's faces, first looked at Zhang Xuanning carefully, then looked at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling carefully, and finally looked at Wei Zhenzhen carefully, nodded slightly, and shook his head again.
Everyone else frowned a little, very depressed at his rudeness.
"Hey, the incense lord is talking to you, why are you like this?" someone jumped out.
"Haha, don't don't, it's my blessing that Mr. can come, sir, please take a seat, well, it's almost time now, just order the banquet!" I don't know why, Zhang Xuanning only felt that as soon as this person arrived, his heart was moved, and he said diligently regardless of what people said.
At the moment, almost everyone walked to the front yard hall, the younger brothers in a command, they were noisy, and they helped the chef to bring the dishes, the ancients paid the most important etiquette, although according to the real history, in fact, at this time it was still a single or double a small table to eat, and there was no big table.
But this world is different, and what has been produced is a combination of two styles.
Zhang Xuanning was originally a small seat (that is, the kind of ancient seat that kneeled and sitted, with only one or two people), at most Wei Zhenzhen ate beside him, and the group leader below was a small table for two people, relying on the closest, as for ordinary brothers, it was a big table, but in order to avoid being higher than the superior, this table was very low, and they still had to kneel and sit, but the number of people was eight people per table.
In ancient times, the upper and lower levels were strict, and this ceremony was ubiquitous, but this arrangement of seats was based on respect and humility, considering seniority, and could not be easily replaced.
Zhang Xuanning said: "Sir, please come to the table with me, Ah Zhen, pour wine for Mr." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded, and the man in gray also looked moved, but he still stepped forward and lived at the same table with Zhang Xuanning, and at that moment, the luncheon was held.
