Chapter 322 Marriage Proposal

Chapter 322 Marriage Proposal

Yanei answered quickly and quickly, "The daughter of the magistrate of Qianhai Prefecture and County, once became a monk in Taohua Temple... Ah, I forgot to say that she is a female householder, and her property in the countryside happens to be adjacent to Dalang, and now she wants to partner with Dalang everywhere."

It's not just a partnership—Shi Chuan replied calmly: "Yes, my land in the countryside is taken care of by her and one of my concubines."

Taking care of the countryside with my concubine means that the girl is not a concubine's wife, but an outdoor room?

Wang was very happy to hear this news. She wanted the eldest daughter to live unhappy... Even after hearing this news, Huang's father didn't think it was anything special - everyone's worldview these days is: men have mistresses and women are dissatisfied with it, they are "jealous" and "unvirtuous". What can Huang's father, a man with a large number of concubines, say about this?

Huang's father looked sideways and observed Shiteng, but found that Shiteng did not avoid this topic. He thought about it and slowly raised his chopsticks again.

Of course, Cui Xiaoqing did not face Wang. This was not a time-clothing arrangement, but Cui Xiaoqing consciously avoided it. After the banquet, Wang and his party were arranged in the side courtyard, and they went back to bed very late. The next morning, the housekeeper Mu Shun set up a carriage, and Wang was preparing to lead his daughter to the city to harvest gifts. Cui Xiaoqing was anxious to go back to the Luo family because Chu Suzhen obtained news about Luo Wangjing and had to escort Miss Chu from the city. Therefore, the two sides disconnected and never met again.

When Wang was about to go out, she was selfish again. She told the rest of the children to stay, and only took her own daughter Rong'er and Brother Mao to the streets, and said in a distorted manner: "You guys don't have to worry. You are waiting to stay in Haizhou. There will be time to go shopping in the future. Today I will take Brother Rong'er to explore the road. The carriage will be empty, so that you can also pack more gifts for you."

When Wang said this, Huan Niang, who had originally planned to accompany her on a trip, thought for a while, immediately sniffed her lips and jumped out of the carriage, and told Mu Shun frankly: "Butler Mu, my brother has given me a lot of things. Today I won't let you go."

After saying that, Wang, who was dazed at her back, ran into the yard with a thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping thumping

Miss Rong'er opened her mouth and wanted to say something and endured it. Brother Mao was stimulated these days. Looking at Huan Niang, who was as beautiful and refreshing as a jade beauty, drooling. He had no choice but to say anything in his heart. Wang was stunned at the door, not knowing how to smooth things over. Huang's father's "adopted daughter" Xu Niang secretly curled her lips. She pulled her daughter Mosquito, and gave a respectful gift, and replied: "Mom, just go, I will take care of my sister and brother."

The carriage left, and Xiuxiu, who was seeing off, snorted with a nose, raised her handkerchief, and said sarcastically: "Buy us gifts? Humph, we also heard at the table yesterday that they all spent the money of the son-in-law and asked us to accept her favors. I have the nerve to say this."

Xu Niang looked at the sky and did not answer the topic: "Yesterday, the uncle said he wanted to pick up his aunt Ma to accompany him. Now we should take the child to get close to him quickly. If the child gets along with his uncle over time, are he still afraid that the uncle will have good things to fall behind?"

Xiuxiu smiled and twisted her waist: "Sister, just go, I have no children, I don't need to please my son-in-law for the time being, I'll go and talk to E's wife."

The two of them went their separate ways at the gate. When Xiuxiu arrived at Shizeng's yard, she was traveling with a bride-sending team. Shizeng was lifted to a tall horse. Shizeng reminded Shizeng to grab the reins while turning back and reminding Ling Fei to take care of Shizeng. Then she slapped her horse's butt and shouted: "Let's go."

The princess and matchmaker stood beside him and sang prayers. The servants in the house lit firecrackers. Shishi took a bow and arrow and shot four arrows symbolically in all directions. The bride-sending team set out in the noise of gongs and drums. Three wedding sedan chairs were in front, and Huan Niang chased the wedding sedan chair for a few steps, standing up to watch the long wedding sedan chairs walk out of Shizhai. Behind the wedding sedan chairs, several groups were practicing chasing carriages, and the carriages were filled with cages of three brides, and walked out of Shizhai...

The crowd walked out of Tianshui Lane, Huang E and Huanniang stood at the entrance of the alley. Huanniang finished her tears and whispered: "She, she can't wait to see her get married, and she is going to our shop..."

The noisy drums and drums gradually became inaudible. Huang's father walked out of the courtyard with his hand. When he heard Huan Niang's words, his face turned red and he asked in a low voice: "Nephew, what are your arrangements in the near future?"

Shi Chuan turned around and bowed to answer: "The Shi family's clan went to see the marriage. Today I am welcomed by the guests at home."

Huang's father blushed and said, "I'm not talking about today, but today."

"Oh, the Double Ninth Festival is approaching. On the Double Ninth Festival, we will climb high and look far away. Why don't we go to Baihu Mountain to take a look. I'm just about to send someone to inform my clan to go to the dock to pull Kun meat, and let them arrange it... Should my uncle sit in a sedan chair or ride a horse?"

This is already the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and sedan chairs are no longer exclusive to the prime minister. Huang's father hesitated for a moment and replied: "Let's go to sedan chairs."

Shi Chuan turned his head and told Huang E: "You should keep your home."

Huang E nodded: "The banquet lasted too late yesterday, and the cups and plates in the kitchen are in a mess. I'm afraid I have to work hard to clean up for two or three days... Father, I won't be with you anymore."

Huang E wanted to avoid her father, but Huang's father looked dim. He reached out to hold his daughter, but his daughter gave a blessed gift without stopping, and immediately turned around and entered the yard.

After Huang E left, Shi Chuan immediately greeted Huanniang: "Miss Chu next door is leaving. Come on, send me what I gave to Miss Chu?"

Huan Niang was eager to try: "Brother, is that thing good to have firecrackers?"

Shi Chuan smiled: "It should be better than firecrackers..."

After saying that, Shi Chuan turned around and greeted Huang's father: "Father-in-law sits for a while. I have already agreed to County Magistrate Meng at the banquet yesterday. He will rescue us at Taohua Temple. He will be responsible for writing the ritual books. Let's do the three books when you have time today."

Dad Huang nodded: "Since that's the case, I'll invite Lord Liu."

Liu Xu and Liu Bancheng in Shuyang were originally a rich local rich man. Because of the strong awareness of small peasants, Shi Chuan didn't take it seriously before. Now he must be called Lord Liu - in ancient times, he was called "Carp Leaping the Dragon Gate" because of this reason.

Liu Xu didn't sleep well all night, and he arrived at the reception room with his two circles blue. When he entered the door, he was fiddling with Huan Niang. The toy had an ivory handle, and two short black iron pipes were arranged side by side. The specific amount was not large. When Liu Xu entered the door, Shi Tong had already fiddled with the toy. The handle was held in the palm of his palm and raised it. The iron pipe mouth said to a wooden board in the house: "This thing is not very powerful, which is a ten-step range. It can only be used to defend itself, look..."

With a "boom", a ray of fire spurted out from the mouth of the iron pipe, and the wooden boards standing in the house made a crisp sound, shaking on the spot. A strong smoke of gunpowder enveloped the whole house, choking Huang's father coughed violently in the house.

"It's just a self-defense thing." Shi Chuan casually handed the ivory-handled handgun to Huanniang: "You like to go out on the street every day, take this thing to defend yourself... Go, there is still time, you can use it to play with Miss Chu. When Miss Chu learns it, you will give her a hand."

Huanniang replied happily: "Brother, this thing is more fun than firecrackers..."

"Dangerous goods, don't use guns to look at people, go, be careful..."

Huan Niang happily ran out of the door with a box in her arms. When the smoke of gunpowder disappeared, Liu Xu found that County Magistrate Meng, Shi Yanei, and Huang's father were sitting in the room: "Are there any good things? How many of them are there?"

This weapon was made of a pocket pistol made by using the machinery of the underground warehouse in Cuizhuang. It was equipped with a flintlock pistol in front. Because it was thought of using it for her women, the pistol did not consider the power issue, but only looked at the size and beauty. It was not so much a weapon as a kind of jewelry.

"No more," Shi Chuan replied: "There are not many suitable barrels, only six knives were made. The few girls in the family were one, which was not enough. If the yamen needs it, I will make a few large ones."

Liu Xu hurriedly greeted: "I heard that Changqing has the skills to make jewelry. It is rumored that Chu Suzhen, the number one talented woman in Haizhou, was written by Changqing. Haha, such a small thing has such great power. It's such a clever idea."

Before he could wear a humble manner, Liu Xu immediately asked: "I don't know how to start when Changqing said at the dinner yesterday, "taking the sea as the field."

Yanei laughed and replied in place of Shi Chuan: "I'm so annoying. Yesterday I said casually at the dinner, and today more than a dozen people came to him. I'm here to hide in Dalang's place."

Liu Xu answered with the situation: "The road to Lingnan is difficult. When Mr. Dongpo was exiled, he spent a year and eight months to walk to Lingnan. He went to Guangxi to take a post and was about to take a sea boat all the way south. However, yesterday I heard Changqing's grand statement, and I had an idea: My Liu family is a rich man in Shuyang, and relying on the land and the weather for his salary. After all, it is a bit thin. Why not take out some money and buy ten fishing boats and hand them over to Changqing for operation. How about it?"

Shi Chuan and Shi Yanei wanted to look at each other, but they were shaking their heads. Shi Chuan replied: "We are not attracted to everyone to participate in fishing because of the limited financial resources. It is because of the lack of manpower and the lack of appropriate talent management..."

Liu Xu immediately followed up: "I have a brother, a legitimate son, who is only twenty years old and cannot study. He runs his family's property at home. After I left, he was responsible for the management of the Liu family's property. Now I am asking for a recruitment for him - Borrowing gift: 3,000 mu of land on Shuyang, 20,000 guan."

Shuyang, since Shen Kuo renovated Shuyang water conservancy, the most fertile land in Haizhou is in Shuyang. There are 3,000 mu of land and 20,000 guan, which is a big deal.

Shi Chuan smiled. It seemed that the decoration and style of his house not only scared Wang, but also Liu Bancheng, so he changed his mind and did not dare to ask for a daughter of Shi as a concubine, but instead asked for a wife for his younger brother.

You can't say that this marriage is quite suitable. Shuyang is not far away, but it is not close. The girl from Shi family joined Shuyang and knew that there was little experience in that Peach Blossom View, so she had less gossip. What's more, the practical knowledge that the girls taught by Shiban had was definitely the first in the Song Dynasty. Such a girl entered a big family, knew the words, managed the family, and was good at managing. Who dared to underestimate it?

The man's conditions are also good. Liu Bancheng, the largest landlord in Shuyang, has tens of thousands of tenants under his name... Well, tenants?

"Changqing has few people, and it just so happens that my Liu family has many people. If Changqing can promise marriage, I will come to find sailors. My Liu family came forward to find hundreds of sailors who know how to drive boats or are willing to learn how to drive boats among their own tenants. These people know the truth, and Changqing just needs to use them with confidence.

In addition, my Liu family is far away in Shuyang, so I am afraid that the fleet will not be able to handle the normal operation. If Changqing is allowed to marry, the fleet will be run by my Liu family’s wife. When she marry into the Liu family, she will ask her sisters to help Zhaoguan. My Liu family will never interfere in specific matters, how about it?”
