In the next two days, the entire Da'ani was immersed in a festive atmosphere.

The relatives and destiny of various families entered the palace to congratulate.

In the Qingbiao Palace, it is silent from morning to night.

It is because of Gao Zunyu that the Xiang family and Gao family dared not play champagne at halftime before the dust fell, otherwise they would have designed to create a bigger show.

And amid these noises, Shi Deyi's investigation department reported a news to Zhao Xu.

The son-in-law Duwei, the granddaughter of the Jinzhou Observer, and the eldest grandson of Sun Ci from the Sun Family Branch, made a marriage contract.

After hearing this, Zhao Xu pursed his lips and asked, "How old is the granddaughter of the Prince Consort Duwei?"

"Reporting to everyone, it seems to be three years old..."

"So urgent!" Zhao Xu said softly.

Shi De lowered his head and dared not answer this.

Zhao Xu no longer said anything.

It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married.

No one can stop the marriage between the powerful and the merchants.

This is true in modern times, and in the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, the situation in the Song Dynasty was more special than that in modern times.

Because in the Song Dynasty, marrying a daughter was a very expensive thing for the nobles.

The higher the aristocrat, the more dowry you have to give to marry a daughter!

Even the emperor is no exception!

When a princess gets married, she needs to prepare a dowry worth at least 700,000 yuan just for a dowry!

If we count the hunchback, the cost of building a house will be at least one million yuan.

Zhao Xu's father once complained to his ministers: "It will cost 700,000 yuan to marry a princess!"

It is ordinary people and ordinary people who want to marry their daughter smoothly.

It's not an easy thing either.

During the Qingli period decades ago, Fan Zhongyan founded a charity village. In his charity village, it was stipulated that the daughter of the Fan clan could be married by thirty guans of the charity village!

This is the custom of the people, so there is a proverb among the people: The robbery of five girls is not the door.

If anyone wants five daughters, even thieves will walk around his house.

Because all fools know that this family must have no money to be stolen.

Therefore - marrying a wife must be responsible for money, and poor women cannot marry until they are old.

Therefore, in order to avoid marrying a daughter, a family of powerful families will end up losing their family.

He often marrys his concubine's daughter to a merchant, which not only avoids dowry expenses, but also earns a dowry gift.

The merchants are also willing to marry the daughter of a powerful family to gain protection from power.

Therefore, this kind of marriage has actually become a transaction.

The so-called daughter is more like the biggest deal in this deal.

On the contrary, it is to catch the son-in-law below the list after each imperial examination.

Merchants and powerful people, in order to steal a Jinshi son-in-law.

Spend money directly! Under the list, use unimaginable dowry to recruit son-in-law.

This is actually a combination of money and power.

Mr. Wang is not the first person to do such a thing, nor will he be the last one.

"Is there anything else?" Zhao Xu looked at Shi Deyi who was still standing beside him and did not leave.

"Report to everyone, there is something else..."

"Um?"

"Xiang Zongdan, the transfer envoy of Quanjing West Road, entered Beijing a few days ago, was said to have said many good things about Mr. Zeng in front of the Grandma Zhao of Qin..."

"He brought a generous gift to meet Gao Gonghui, Gao Shichong and others from the Gao family..."

Xiang Zongdan is Xiang Zonghui, Xiang Zongliang's cousin.

Zhao Xu listened, narrowed his eyes and said, "No wonder my grandmother asked me yesterday if I still remember Mr. Zeng, who was the master of Yangzhou."

"It seems that Zeng Bu wants to go back to the court!"

"Why did Xiang Zongdan get into a relationship with Zeng Bu?" Zhao Xu asked knowingly.

"I heard from you that Xiang Zongdan's eldest son Xiang Zixin is the East Bed of Mr. Zeng."

"So that's it!" Zhao Xu nodded.

Of course he knew about this, because in his previous life, Zeng Bu had exposed himself to Zhao Xu the in-laws of the ministers in the court - Xiang Zixin was a son-in-law, Li Kui was Huang Lu's nephew, and Zhang Yan was Dun (Zhang Dun) nephew...

Xiang Zixin and Zeng Bu's daughter gave birth to a son named Xiang Feng. He was an official in Shuzhou during the Southern Song Dynasty.

During his tenure as an official in Shuzhou, Xiang Shi sorted out and collected 100 volumes of "Mr. Linchuan" by Wang Anshi's great-grandson Wang Yu through his own relationship.

Wang Anshi's "Collected Works of Mr. Linchuan" is called "Collected Works of Mr. Wang Wen".

Because Wang Anshi was attacked for a long time, his collection of essays was not valued and lacked protection and inheritance.

Therefore, in modern times, only the Ming Dynasty printed copies were passed down. The hundred volumes of "Mr. Linchuan's Collection of Essays" compiled by Wang Yu only passed down two sets of incomplete and isolated copies.

A collection of the interior halls that are buried in small days.

The other set is in the Shanghai Museum.

Both sets are incomplete, with only seventy volumes in the small life, and only seventy-two volumes in the Shanghai Museum.

However, in 2020, a shocking thing happened.

It was discovered from the people that there are three volumes of the collection seal of the "Xiang Family Collection".

Moreover, these three volumes of the 27 volumes are exactly three volumes missing from the Shangbiao.

At that time, Zhao Xu followed his teacher to participate in several "Xiang's collection of essays by Mr. Linchuan, Mr. Long Shuben".

I was deeply impressed by this matter.

So, I know why Zhao Xu came back to Xiang Zong, so the Xiang Zongliang brothers would look at each other.

Because of these to the family!

On the surface, he scolded Wang Anshi every day, but he couldn't help but run away with Wang Anshi.

Look at what Xiang Zonghui did in Xihe!

Even when Wang Anshi saw it, he probably wanted to say: It's too radical!

However, what Xiang Zonghui did was a standard new party style.

What is the new party’s style?

As long as you can make money, you can go without following the rules, cheat and sneak attacks!

This is the case with the market change method, the same is the case with the equal-to-eight method, and the same is the case with the horse and Baojia method.

only……

Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is the wife Xiang Zixin married to a legitimate daughter of Zeng Xueshi?"

Shi De nodded.

Zhao Xu smiled and stopped caring about this matter.

He doesn’t care if Zeng Bu comes back!

But if Zeng Bu wants to get a cool umbrella?

It's not that easy.

Zhao Xu cannot trust unfaithful people.

"I'll ask you to slander me!" He complained in his heart.

While speaking, Feng Jing came to the hall and reported: "Everyone, the two relatives of the country have just handed over a letter at the Neidong Gate and asked for your meeting."

"But Xiang and Gao two uncles?" Zhao Xu asked.

"yes!"

Zhao Xu smiled, saying that Cao Cao is here!

So he ordered: "Go and send the two uncles to the palace to speak."

Then, he looked at Shi Deyi: "I know that I have worked hard, so let's go back and rest first."

"promise."

...

Under the Neidong Gate.

Xiang Zongliang and Gao Gong painted him, relatively speechless.

But both of them saw some fatigue, helplessness and pain in each other's eyes.

There is no way!

Although both of them and Xiang Zonghui had a good relationship.

but……
