Chapter 488: I'm Not a Beast (For 'Night Chaos')
After sending away the Bishan Army, Shen An was melancholy for two days, and then was woken up by Bao Zheng.
"Bao Gong, is Bao Shou obedient?"
Guoguo was a little unhappy when he saw that he didn't bring a scarf.
Bao Zheng smiled and said, "Good, very good." ”
Seeing Shen An frowning and pondering, he said, "You stop a little, the dowry on the Yang family's side is almost ready...... But Yang Jinian is not rich after all, are you ready to wrap up? ”
The so-called wrapping has something to do with the current custom of marrying.
At this time, all married women must prepare a rich dowry, otherwise they will be ridiculed.
Wealthy people are naturally not afraid of this, but ordinary people have a headache for it.
What to do?
Tell your son-in-law directly: My family's conditions are like this, and there are only so many marriages, are you willing?
If the man is unwilling, both parties will be considered to have failed.
If the man is satisfied with the woman, then he will privately give some jewelry money and let the woman prepare a dowry, which is the meaning of the man to save face for the woman.
This kind of behavior of saving face for the woman is called wrapping.
Shen An thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid Yang Gong's temperament won't accept it." ”
Bao Zheng sighed: "That's a proud person, what he is, but he refuses to bow his head." ”
Shen An comforted: "I don't care about the woman's dowry here, to put it mildly, Bao Gong, you also know the net worth of a certain person, and the amount of the woman's dowry...... Interesting? ”
He said this with arrogance, and the breath of the nouveau riche made Bao Zheng's eyes flash.
"That's it, the old man will talk about it."
It was supposed to be the job of a matchmaker, but Bao Zheng was worried about the bad things of the matchmaker, so he took leave and went to Yang's house.
Shen An remembered one thing, so he said: "Bao Gong is slow, boy, get a good thing here, you can take it." ”
"What's that?"
Bao Zheng didn't have time to grind, Shen An said, "Cake." ”
"Cake?"
Bao Zheng frowned and said, "But it matters?" ”
"It's delicious, Bao Gong, it's delicious."
Guoguo's eyebrows danced and said: "It's so sweet, it's so fragrant, Bao Gong wants to eat it, you will like it if you eat it." ”
Bao Zheng's eyebrows loosened a little, and said with a smile: "Okay, listen to Guoguo, the old man will wait, if it's not delicious......"
It's not delicious, the old man pickled your brother and waited for the New Year to use it for wine.
After more than half an hour, Shen An got two food boxes out.
"Bao Gong, a box is for you. It's tooth-saving, fluffy, and if it's not too sweet, you can eat it often. ”
"Sneaky, what could it be?"
Bao Zheng didn't have time to check, so he hurriedly went to Yang's house.
Yang Jinian was also waiting at home today to discuss the marriage, and when Bao Zheng came, he saw him carrying a food box, so he smiled and said, "What else did Bao Gong bring?" ”
"Your son-in-law's."
Bao Zheng said angrily: "Your son-in-law remembered to slap the horse, saying that it was a good thing for your family." ”
Yang Jinian casually ordered: "Take it to the back." ”
Ah Qing carried the food box to the back, Li and Yang Zhuoxue were doing needlework, and when they saw it, they smiled and said, "Who's?" ”
Ah Qing smiled: "Yes...... Shen Langjun sent it to Bao Gong. ”
Li said reservedly: "What could it be?" Open it up and take a look. ”
Yang Zhuoxue was calm on the surface, but the work in her hand stopped, glancing at the food box from time to time.
When Li saw it, he smiled and said: "If you want to see it, you will be from his family in a while, what are you afraid of?" ”
Yang Zhuoxue bowed her head and said, "Mother, I can't bear you." ”
Li naturally couldn't give up his daughter in his heart, but he comforted: "It's okay, it's all in Bianliang City, just ask someone to talk about something." ”
The atmosphere was a little sad, just when the food box was opened, a sweet fragrance came, Li sighed, and then leaned over to take a look, and said, "What is this golden thing?" ”
She reached for a small piece, sniffed it, and then tentatively put it into her mouth......
Bao Zheng also made a mistake in his busy schedule and did not tell them that this thing was food, so Li Shi was as nervous as if he was taking a drug test.
Yang Zhuoxue was infected by the atmosphere and looked at her nervously.
The corners of Li's mouth gradually opened, and then he chewed a few times, and the speed increased a little......
"Hmm...... Delicious, delicious. ”
She grabbed another piece, and then remembered her daughter: "Cut it and taste it all." ”
Ah Qing went to get a knife to cut the cake, and then divided it.
Yang Zhuoxue took a bite and immediately felt that happiness had come.
When you feel unhappy, go for something sweet.
I don't know who said this, but Yang Zhuoxue really felt happy.
"How can this man be like this...... Even the food is so outstanding. ”
Li praised: "Daughter! You will be blessed to marry in the future, at least every day is indispensable. ”
Yang Zhuoxue felt the residual sweet fragrance in her mouth, squinted her eyes and said, "Mother, I'll have someone bring it to you to eat when the time comes." ”
"What you said now is good, I'm afraid I'll forget my mother when the time comes......"
Li didn't believe it in his mouth, but he was extremely useful in his heart.
"I'm afraid there is no such thing in the palace, right?"
Li couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he and his daughter forgot to leave some cakes for the two men in the family.
"Definitely not."
Yang Zhuoxue was thinking about Shen An and thinking about that person's versatility.
He is so good, why should he ...... me? So good for me?
I rushed back for my birthday, left my business behind, and gave me those surprises.
Does he like me that much?
Yang Zhuoxue's eyes were full of longing.
You like me...... I'm going to like you!
If two people liked each other, what day would it be?
But he is so outstanding, there must be many women who like him, will he have many women in the future?
Ay!
Share your favorite people with those women...... Will I still like him?
The girl's mind is always like this, like rain and mist, and it is uncertain.
"Mother, will he have other women?"
Yang Zhuoxue's question made Li stunned, and then sighed: "Daughter! You are a wife, and the other women are just concubines, concubines...... That's the plaything......"
Are those people going to be playthings?
A picture automatically appeared in Yang Zhuoxue's mind......
Shen An was whipping the concubines with a leather whip in his hand, and then drank them to sing and dance for fun......
Some cruel.
She nodded, very sad, so she wrote a letter and quietly asked Ah Qing to send it.
Later, Ah Qing came back, and she went to see the Li family first.
“…… The little lady's letter was probably to ask Shen Langjun how many women he would have in the future, and whether he would abuse them......"
"Asking this ......"
Li was speechless, thinking that his unintentional words had made his daughter entangled, and he couldn't help but want to laugh again.
This is an era of male superiority and inferiority of women, of course, there are many men who only guard one woman for the rest of their lives, such as Lao Wang and Sima Guang.
Wu is Lao Wang's cousin, the cousin and sister are childhood sweethearts, and they have deep feelings, so they naturally can't allow other women to come in and stir up.
As for Sima Guang, that person can be called a gentleman in this regard, and even Shen An is ashamed of himself.
Li sighed: "Silly daughter! How do you ask Shen An to say this kind of thing......
A smile appeared on Ah Qing's face, and said: "Then Shen Langjun read the letter, his expression was a little strange, and the slave thought he was going to be angry, but who would have thought that he would say it...... The so-called fraternity is not love, but in fact it is the desire at work, like a cow and a horse......"
"The slave doesn't know what that means."
Ah Qing was a little confused.
There was some joy and some embarrassment in Li's eyes, and he said, "What does he mean by this...... He didn't want to be a cow or a horse. ”
Cattle and horses mate just to reproduce, and it is the same with whomever they mate.
But people are different, and people have more feelings.
Ah Qing was stunned, and then went to the back happily.
"Little lady, little lady......"
After asking Ah Qing to deliver the letter, Yang Zhuoxue regretted it a little, feeling that she was too reckless, so she kept suffering from gains and losses.
"What's wrong?"
She woke up in contemplation, and Ah Qing smiled: "Shen Langjun said that he is not a beast!" ”
"Don't be a brute?"
Yang Zhuoxue didn't react, and Ah Qing said: "What did he say about fraternity being a beast, like a cow and a horse......"
This language association ability is no one, if Shen An is here, it is estimated that he will have to give Ah Qing a good review.
This training is a good hand at making things alive.
Fraternity is a brute, how many people will spurn Shen An's words if they are released!
Su Shi made a poem for her on the tenth anniversary of Wang Fu's departure: ten years of life and death and two boundless ......, and later with Wang Runzhi for more than 20 years, after Wang Runzhi left, he was grief-stricken, but he still has Wang Chaoyun......
"Really?"
But women won't spit on him, Yang Zhuoxue is like this.
The girl was worried that he would be angry, so she had been suffering from gains and losses, and now she got the news, and she could hardly believe her ears.
Ah Qing nodded and said, "That's what I said." ”
God is pitiful, when did Shen An say that fraternity is a beast.
Yang Zhuoxue's eyes lit up suddenly, and the light made Ah Qing can't help but praise: "What a pretty girl, then Shen Langjun is blessed." ”
……
Shen An was also a little amused by the naivety of his sister paper, but Zhao Zhen heard about the cotton, so he recruited him into the palace for questioning.
"Is there such a treasure?"
There was suspicion in his words, "If there really is, then why don't the Liao people use it?" ”
Han Qi smiled: "It can weave cloth, it can be filled in clothes and quilts, and it is easy to feed...... Your Majesty, if there really is such a treasure, the Liao people are not stupid. ”
Zeng Gongliang also nodded, Ouyang Xiu's face was expressionless, anyway, his eyes were not good, so he didn't see it.
This is common sense, and children can come to this conclusion.
This is also life experience, and people from the ignorance of children to the reading of thousands of sails when they are old is to brush up on life experience.
Shen An would have judged like this if he was an indigenous, but he was from later generations.
Later generations recorded what happened to chili when it first landed...... Flowers, kept at home for people to see.
But chili peppers later conquered China, sweeping everything from south to north.
And the cotton is also beautiful when it blooms, and Liao people can probably raise flowers......
Right!
Shen An said: "Your Majesty, most of the Liao people who can raise flowers are rich people, and the rich people are not bad at clothes!" Whether it's silk or something, they have it all, so who has nothing to figure out what that cotton can do? Besides, they don't have that ability. ”
This is not Shen An's boasting, the Chinese people have the ability to make the best use of this kind of thing. For example, when you eat, you can get rid of airplanes that fly in the sky, cars that run on the ground, and ships that swim in the sea......
There's nothing we can't eat!
……
The third is sent, good night.
