Chapter 21: Getting Started (I)
"Tian'er, have you received the letter?" Seeing that He Gui had gone out, Wang interrupted the awkward atmosphere and looked at his son with a smile.
Wang Shoutian glanced at Zhao Wan, nodded and said, "My son received it." ”
"The letter has been very clear, my mother will not say anything anymore, this house has been renovated, this girl also knows the roots, so she simply asks for good luck, just do it directly, what do you think?"
"It's all up to the mother. Wang Shoutian said with a smile.
The conversation between the mother and son of the Wang family made Zhao Wan on the side blush.
"Child, what are you ashamed of?" Wang glanced at Zhao Wan and saw that her neck was even pink, so he finally let her go: "Okay, you go and see if they're done?"
"Yes, ma'am. With a red face, Zhao Wan quickly ran away.
Looking at her appearance when she left, Wang Shoutian couldn't help but smile in his eyes.
"Tian'er, my mother has one more thing to tell you. Seeing Wang Shoutian's performance, Wang pondered for a moment and spoke.
"Mother, please say. ”
"I know you like Wan'er, but rules are rules. Wang reminded him: "Just now, what happened to you?"
"If you are too pampered, what will happen to your wife in the future? ”
"Mother, is my son such a reckless person?" Seeing his mother reminding himself so solemnly, Wang Shoutian hurriedly expressed his attitude: "Today, Dashuai opened Chrysostom and solved the problem instead of me." ”
As he spoke, Wang Shoutian told him about meeting the handsome.
"That's what the marshal said?" Hearing this, Wang was speechless for a long time, and his expression changed: "After decades, he finally figured it out and wanted to make up for it on his son?"
When he said the latter sentence, his tone was so weak that he couldn't hear it.
"Mother?" Wang Shoutian reminded the stunned Wang.
Wang was shocked and came to his senses: "Zhao Wan is blessed, since the handsome man said it, she will do it according to the courtesy of his wife, well, in this case, she should not be in my house, and she will go back to officially marry." ”
In this world, even if husband and wife are in love, as long as they are rich and noble, their husbands will inevitably have a few concubines, but their status is really low compared to their wives.
Concubines with children will live a better life, if they have no children, and the master dies suddenly, waiting for them, it will be the fate of being re-bought and sold.
But the flat wife is different.
"Since this is the case, then the wedding must be rearranged, and it will be set in seven days!" After thinking about it, Wang didn't ask for advice, and directly clapped the board: "I'll have a good talk with this girl today, and send her back to her mother's house before dinner, so you don't have to worry about it." ”
"Yes, mother!" Wang Shoutian responded.
Although it is said that he has a flat wife, it is actually equivalent to marrying a concubine, at least the Wang family is not ready to make a big fanfare, and the handsome man is not ready to come to celebrate.
Wang Shoutian was cultivating at home, thinking silently.
However, after Wang Shoutian's wedding date was set, there was naturally Zhang Luo of the Wang family, and after the news came out, although everyone in Jishui County did not follow the order and did not dare to come privately, they sent people to give gifts.
The officials in Jishui County all regard Wang Shoutian as the main one, and in ancient times, the blood source was extremely important, and Wang Shoutian became married, so there was the hope of inheriting the heirs, and everyone was naturally happy.
At the same time, there was also some news that because the fields were to be divided in May, He Wulang relocated most of the people from the cottage to the county seat, and the total number of households reached 1,200, which was allowed by Wang Shoutian.
The bandit people have also been given basic arrangements, and five more workshops are currently being built, which are said to be completed after Wang Shoutian's wedding.
As the population grew, merchants began to experiment with the establishment of trade routes, and several safer sales channels were established in the county.
The barn has been established, and there are fifty-three ploughing cattle, which can reproduce normally.
There are also forty-one horses in the stables, which is also good news.
Xue Yuan told that due to the large population in the county at this time and the large number of fields cultivated, there had been problems, and in the future, it was necessary to build townships and villages outside the county seat, but these county towns needed to be stabilized.
Seven days passed quickly, and the wedding took place.
On the same day, Wang Shoutian saw the woman before again, and then remembered why he thought she was familiar, it turned out that this woman was famous in the neighborhood and would handle marriages, and this wedding, some Zhang Luo matters were handled by her.
"Come, let my mother see. In the small hall, Wang asked her son, who was wearing a brand new robe, to stand in front of him, and after looking up and down a few times, she slowly smiled and bent her eyes.
"My son, he is really a talent, from now on, I must treat Wan'er well, and strive to let my mother hug my grandson as soon as possible, do you hear?" When the last sentence came out, a flash of expectation flashed in Wang's eyes with thin crow's feet.
"Mother, the son knows, and the son will not let you down. Wang Shoutian said with a smile.
"Madam, petty officials, guests have arrived, many people have come, and there is a little shortage of manpower. At this time, He Gui walked in from the outside, and said with joy and sorrow: "There are many people from the village who have heard the news. ”
Originally, they didn't expect so many people to come today, several sets of tables and chairs were added temporarily, and they asked the woman who was happy to find a few people to help, but even so, she was still a little too busy.
"Tell Aunt Chen that if there is not enough manpower, let her find it, and if there are not enough tables and chairs, let her borrow it, and I will give the silver. Wang Shoutian said directly.
"Madam......" He Gui looked at the Wang family on the seat again.
"Just do what Tian'er said, this matter was originally handed over to Aunt Chen to do, and money is not a problem. Wang knew this very well in his heart.
"Yes, madam, little official, slave maid will go to Aunt Chen. He Gui said, retreating.
Money can make ghosts grind, He Gui only found her, and as soon as she said the meaning of the lady and the little official, the woman smiled and slapped her thigh: "There is a lady and a little official, how can you not let the guests see the joke, right?"
Subsequently, I quickly found a helper, and I arranged it, added tables and chairs, and kept accounts, although I was very busy, it was really not messy.
There were already a lot of people outside at this time, and there were more than a dozen tables in the courtyard, because they were flat wives, but the Wang family didn't want to publicize it, and there were not many people invited, but even so, there were many people in the palace.
"At this time, Tian'er, you have also gone out to greet the guests, and the ceremony will start in a while, go quickly." Wang helped his son straighten his clothes and said with a serious face.
The wedding here is not a big wedding in the traditional sense, but between the big wedding and the concubine, which is not a ceremony to marry a wife.
From this day on, it will be legal for a woman to take care of the man's diet and daily life, as well as to warm the bed and give birth.
The status of the flat wife who is accepted by the wedding is higher than that of the concubine who comes from the sale, at least, the family is justifiable and smooth, if the man does not like her, he is mostly sent back to the original home, and cannot be handed over to others at will.
Generally, when a wedding is held, the people who come to congratulate are not looking at the woman's face, let alone really celebrating a wedding, more people are using this reason to contact the man.
"My lord, Mr. Tian is said to have something to do and can't come. As soon as Chai Jia saw Wang Shoutian coming out of the hall, he hurriedly walked over and told Wang Shoutian the news he got from his trip.
"If you don't come, forget it. Wang Shoutian said lightly.
However, today is not to marry a wife, so naturally there is no need to invite anyone over, just make a little lively, so soon Wang Shoutian put away his mood and went to greet the guests.
The people who came to congratulate today are all coming for the face of the Wang family, and among this part of the people, there are very few people who come to the late Lord Wang.
If it weren't for the fact that today's Wang Shoutian is already an eight-rank official, and he is deeply appreciated by the adults of the festival, I am afraid, let alone Naping's wife, even if it is really the time to marry a wife, there may not be such a lively scene as today.
In the midst of his busyness, Wang Shoutian unexpectedly saw a real elder: "Uncle, are you here?"
"Tian'er, congratulations!" Although his own generation is a generation higher, as an uncle of the same clan, Wang Chengkun still reflexively stood up.
"Third uncle, sit down, sit down and say. Although Wang Shoutian didn't have much contact with this uncle, he knew that the other party was a real person, so he didn't dislike him very much.
Seeing that the other party was a little cramped, he was busy with warm words and comfort.
In fact, from his mother's mouth, he had already learned the purpose of this uncle's visit, and saw that although Wang Xiang was not very old, he was clever, and he was not annoying, but he was not ready to refute the other party.
So, when Wang Chengkun proposed that he wanted to ask Wang Shoutian to help his son find an errand, Wang Shoutian did not hesitate and agreed to come down.
This made Wang Chengkun very grateful and thanked him repeatedly.
After a while, the new sedan finally arrived.
When getting off the sedan chair, there was a hustle and bustle, Zhao Wan was covered with red cloth, dressed as a bride, and was pulled by someone, looking in a trance, and the words of celebration became very distant.
Her parents fled here with her to her uncle's house.
No matter how close her uncle is, it's not her own home, she is just thinking about it, thinking that one day, she can find a suitable family and marry out, and it is best if her mother-in-law can be kinder.
I don't want to meet the eldest son by the river, in a moment, she is desperate, she was originally sent under the fence, if something happens, she doesn't have to live in the future, and her aunt's rumors can force her to death.
At this time, the petty official on the horse was whipped and whipped the eldest son's blood, and she was afraid and grateful, and she couldn't sleep repeatedly after going back, so she flashed these things, and was worried about the captain's revenge.
However, when the news came, the chief came to the door to make amends, and her parents and uncle didn't know what to discuss, so they suddenly announced that they would send her to the Wang family as a concubine......
Every time the petty official came back, the gentle eyes made her obsessed.
Well, it's okay to be a concubine, as long as you have him by your side.
However, the petty official asked her to be his wife, she liked it and was sad, she thought about her identity, how could it be, and sometimes, she even wanted to muster up the courage and said: "Little official, don't be embarrassed." ”
I don't want to, this time the big handsome spoke, and it was all at once.
was led by the rough woman, and entered from the main gate, and shouted loudly: "Congratulations, little lady, you have entered the door from the main gate." ”
Although there was no wife's three worship halls, she was led to the back room, but when she finally entered through the main door, Zhao Wan was in a trance, and she didn't know where an indescribable mood came from in her heart, which made her tears flow.
