The dowry that Su Wen helped Zhang Nan prepare was not fully prepared until the evening. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Master, all the dowry gifts have been prepared, this is the gift list, and the gift money has also been prepared, please take a look." After Su Wen finished speaking, he handed a small fold to Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan took it and looked at it, it was all some cloth and silk, gold, silver and jade, candles, incense, cakes, flower pots and the like, Zhang Nan didn't look at it carefully, after all, the dowry of the Tang Dynasty is usually given these things.

"Okay, that's it, Lao Su, let's prepare to arrange the things in the house from today onwards. I thought it wouldn't be long before I could use it. Zhang Nan looked at his mansion and said.

Su Wen nodded and said, "Master, I don't need to find you a person to teach etiquette tomorrow, after all, there are still a lot of etiquette at this wedding." ”

When Zhang Nan heard that he still had to learn etiquette, he suddenly felt a big head. After thinking about it, he said: "That's it, after I go to Cui's Mansion tomorrow, I will set a time, and then let's talk about learning etiquette." "Anyway, I've made up my mind, and when it comes to learning things, one day less can be counted as one day.

Su Wen heard Zhang Nan say this, so he didn't say anything more, and went down to prepare to purchase things like red silk tomorrow.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Zhang Nan pinched Cui Shao's point of going to the court, and went to Cui's mansion with the dowry and gift money purchased by Lao Su.

When he came to Cui's mansion, Cui Shao had just walked to the door of his mansion, and when he saw Zhang Nan coming, he greeted him.

"Virtuous son-in-law, I'm here today to give a dowry." Cui Shao looked at Zhang Nan, and then looked at the carriage pulling the bride price behind Zhang Nan.

"That's right, I'm here today to give a dowry gift, this is a gift list, father-in-law, please take a look." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he took out the gift list that Su Wen gave him yesterday from his pocket and handed it to Cui Shao.

Cui Shao took it and didn't even look at it, so he received it in his arms and said with a smile: "Come on, come into the house and talk, don't stand." After speaking, he said to Cui An, who came to open the door: "Cui An, go, accept the bride price." ”

After speaking, Cui Shao pulled Zhang Nan into the house.

After the two sat down in the mansion, Cui Shao asked, "Virtuous son-in-law, I wonder how you prepared for this wedding?" ”

"I've already sent people to prepare, and it won't be ready in two or three days." Zhang Nan thought about it and said.

"Two or three days, well, you have to pay attention to it, the old man has already sent someone to see it yesterday, and five days later will be a good day to get married, you and Yue'er will get married on that day." Cui Shaodao.

"Ah, we'll get married in five days." Zhang Nan was surprised.

"What, do you have an opinion?" When Cui Shao heard that Zhang Nan still looked incredulous, he was suddenly a little unhappy, and his face immediately drooped.

"No, no, my father-in-law misunderstood, I'm just a little surprised that it's so fast, and I'm not unhappy." Zhang Nan hurriedly explained.

Hearing Zhang Nan say this, Cui Shao's face softened and said, "Fast?" It's not fast, how long have you been dating Yue'er, the early spring marriage, this summer is about to pass, is it fast? ”

Hearing Cui Shao say this, Zhang Nan remembered that it had been almost half a year since he came to Datang.

"Then everything is up to my father-in-law's arrangement." Zhang Nan said.

Hearing Zhang Nan say this, Cui Shao nodded with satisfaction.

"By the way, Qingquan, have you solved the matter over there with the emperor?" Cui Shao suddenly remembered and asked.

"Solved, no more problems." Zhang Nan said.

"That's good, I want to remind you that you can't get too close to anyone in this court, even if you get closer to the ministers of the court, don't get close to the emperor, this is the most taboo thing for the emperor." Cui Shao reminded.

"I'm really wronged, I haven't even met the emperor, where can I talk about getting close?" Zhang Nan had a wronged expression.

"Then why does the Emperor want to give you the title of county earl." Cui Shao looked puzzled. Zhang Nan said how he eliminated Wang Zhe, and told him about the conjecture of Wang Zhe's identity, Cui Shao listened to it and suddenly realized.

"I see, you can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, but you still have to be careful, you can't get too close to anyone, even if you enter the court as an official in the future, understand?" Cui Shao continued to remind.

"Understood, understood." Zhang Nan nodded again and again.

"Well, I have one more thing to ask you." Cui Shao continued.

"Father-in-law just asks." Zhang Nan said.

"Although you are now the founding county uncle, you still haven't entered the court as an official, I think that after you and Yue'er's family affair is over, you will enter the court." As soon as Cui Shao's words came out, Zhang Nan waved his hand again and again.

"No, no, it's not time yet." Zhang Nan shook his head and said.

"What's wrong? What more questions do you have? The old man thinks that the time has come, and now that the military academy has been established, do you have anything else to do? The emperor won't let you be idle. Cui Shao said with a frown.

"I know that the emperor will not let me be idle, but I would rather let the emperor find me something to do than enter the court as an official to find something to do for myself." Zhang Nan said.

Why is that? Don't you want to glorify your ancestors for the glory of the Guanguang Sect? How many poor disciples can't do it if they want to be officials, but because they don't have a way, it's better for you to let you be an official. Cui Shao said angrily.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, you can't force them, besides, the struggle in the court is so complicated, I don't want to find something to do for myself." Zhang Nan said.

"Forget it, you can do it yourself, you are also a person with a knighthood, and the old man doesn't have to say much, but you don't want to be an official, the emperor wants you to be an official." Cui Shao reminded.

"Let's wait until then, no hurry, no hurry." Zhang Nan said.

"Okay, you go and see Yue'er, you've been busy with the military academy recently, and you haven't come to the house, you go and see her, you can't see Yue'er in the first three days of marriage." Cui Shaodao.

Zhang Nan was not clear about the rule that he could not see the bride a few days before he got married, but Cui Shao asked him to see his wife, but Zhang Nan did not hesitate. After saying hello to Cui Shao, Zhang Nan came to Cui Yue's door.

"Yue'er, are you in there?" Zhang Nan shouted into the room.

"It's Qingquan, come in." Unexpectedly, Cui Yue's voice did not come from inside the room, but Cui Lu's voice came.

After Zhang Nan entered, he found that the mother and daughter were sitting on the edge of the bed talking, and Zhang Nan hurriedly said hello to Cui Lu.

"Qingquan, you and Yue'er will be married in five days, do you know?" Cui Lushi asked.

"Well, my father-in-law has already said it." Zhang Nan said.

"Well, it's a family from now on, you have to treat Yue'er well." After Cui Lushi finished speaking, he looked at Cui Yue, who was sitting on the side.

Cui Yue lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Zhang Nan.

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely treat Yue'er well." Zhang Nan hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

"Well, okay, let's have a good chat, I haven't seen each other in a while." After Cui Lushi finished speaking, he patted the back of Cui Yue's hand, stood up and left, leaving only Cui Yue and Zhang Nan in the room.
