Chapter 242 Some people are happy while others are worried
The education Zhang Celadon received was also based on the ancient Ming Dynasty. For example, when she said goodbye to her parents, Zhang Bing signed a sign with her: "Go to the girl's house. [] Be obedient. Forget about being respectful."
Mrs. Zhang said to her, "You must be respectful and disciplined. Do not disobey your uncle and aunt's orders." Zhang Qingci replied, "I will obey the orders of my parents." Although these are words that are extremely familiar with etiquette, they also show that
Find out the difference between the two!
On this day, there was a banquet for guests and after the newlyweds entered the bridal chamber, Zhang Linqi didn't 'work' much. The reason was that even if Zhang Linqi wanted to do bad things, the actual conditions did not allow it. Zhang Celadon's belly had obviously bulged.
, even if you don’t think about the adults, you still have to think about the little lives! So although this night is the wedding night of the two, they still treat each other as guests.
But even so, Zhang Qingci is already very happy. Now she is finally the legitimate wife of the general who governs the country, and she is also the first wife to be pregnant with a child. Now she will be able to live up to her expectations, give birth in October, and give birth to a son, then that is
The eldest son, in an era where mother is more valuable than son, her status in the General's Mansion will rise from now on...
In this way, when the two of them got up the next day, Zhang Linqi was certainly very satisfied, and Zhang Qingci was even more smiling. Then he rewarded her generously as usual...
But everyone in the General's Mansion who received the reward had a ledger in their mind. Hehe, General Zhenguo has just married two wives, and there are two more to come!
Just like that, a few days later, it was Tang Yanyan's turn to get married. Speaking of Tang Yanyan, as a saint of the White Lotus Sect, her dowry was the simplest, but the most sensational! It was just a silver note of one hundred thousand taels.
Although it is just a thin piece of paper, it is worth tens of thousands of dollars!
Then there was the usual banquet for guests. By the time they entered the bridal chamber in the evening, Zhang Linqi was already familiar with the routine. After all, he was married for the third time! But at night, Zhang Linqi had a new discovery, that is, Tang Yanyan did not
Wear a bellyband.
The bellyband is commonly known as the obscene garment. In ancient times, there were no underwear and bras. In order to cover up shame, girls often wore an obscene garment (bellyband) that could cover the chest, abdomen and vagina. It was usually made of a whole piece of cotton or satin.
There are no sleeves or trouser legs, just a piece of cloth with straps on the four sides. The top two are tied behind the neck, and the bottom two are tied to the waist.
However, Tang Yanyan was so enthusiastic and unrestrained. After taking off the bright red coat on the outside, he was naked inside and could see everything. In fact, this was what Tang Yanyan had planned for a long time. If he wanted to firmly capture Zhang Linqi's heart,
Then you have to be different in some places.
Besides, she is originally a saint of the White Lotus Sect, and she does things in an eclectic way. As long as she likes it! In fact, speaking carefully, Tang Yanyan is not suitable for marriage these days, because her menstrual period falls on these days. But Tang Yan
Homura was not willing to miss this opportunity.
What to do? She has her own clever trick: jealous scrambled eggs. She started eating them a few days ago, and calculated according to the date to suppress menstruation on the wedding day. Generally speaking, it is taboo for a bride to have menstruation on the wedding day. Folks call menstrual belts "
The old proverb goes: "Ride a horse to worship, and your family will be ruined." On this festive day, it is not allowed to appear at all, so it is taboo.
And when the two of them really turned upside down, Zhang Linqi tasted the bliss of the world again. The twenty-four postures of the Dongxuan Sutra, the old tree entwined with roots, the Guanyin sitting on the lotus... Tang Yanyan was proficient in everything, and he was truly worthy of being a saint of the White Lotus Sect.
Girl. It makes Zhang Linqi so happy!
To be honest, if she hadn't become popular, Zhang Linqi would have thought she was a veteran here!
A few days later, it was the finale, which was the wedding of Princess Changping. If Tang Yanyan's wedding was a little bit royally joyful (she was the adopted daughter of Queen Zhou), then Princess Changping
When she gets married, she will be an out-and-out royal bride.
That kind of magnificence is undeniable! On the day of the wedding, the procession for the bride price alone was delayed for several miles. Just like when some wealthy people in later generations got married, the wedding convoy had hundreds of vehicles. It showed extraordinary magnificence! And when the procession arrived
After entering the General's Mansion, the details of the dowry list were even more shocking.
Here we try to give you a few examples and let everyone know about them.
Two maroon satin mink robes, one blue satin Pegasus skin robe. One maroon satin squirrel skin robe, one maroon sheepskin robe. One maroon fine sheepskin robe, the upper body of maroon satin sheepskin, and the lower body ermine skin robe.
pieces, two green satin mink coats, one azurite satin mink coat, an azure satin embroidered with eight groups of golden dragons
One leather coat, one anthracite satin coat embroidered with eight white fox embroideries, one bluestone satin coat embroidered with four patches of Kui dragon and silver mouse skin, and two blue satin squirrel leather coats. All of the above are remade. From us we can
It turns out that there are so many styles of fur coats for winter alone, as can be seen from the myriad of other items.
And at night, there is no need to describe the charm of that night in detail. Just from the next day when Zhang Linqi and Princess Changping went to the palace to meet their father-in-law and mother-in-law, Empress Zhou's attitude towards Zhang Linqi can be seen. Since it is the home of the emperor,
This new wife is back
The door was also relatively formal. At first, Empress Zhou did not get the chance to talk to her baby daughter. Later, while Zhang Linqi and Chongzhen were discussing official matters, Empress Zhou took Princess Changping, who had just become a bride, to the harem to talk.
Talk quietly for a while.
When Zhang Linqi visited Empress Zhou again later, Empress Zhou's attitude was obviously friendly. It was obvious that Princess Changping was also enjoying it. The lively month was finally over. However, the problems brought by the people
The impact is far from over.
For example, the most direct relationship is the money bags of hundreds of millions of people. Chongzhen took advantage of the opportunity to marry his daughter and confidently announced that he would enjoy the people together. So what is the method of sharing the happiness? Chongzhen naturally took substantive actions.
That is to officially introduce a measure to benefit the people, reducing the tax by two cents per acre of land!
Don't worry, it's just two coins. This is a signal. Although the amount is not large, it is an obvious trend, implying that Ming Dynasty has begun to get rid of the fate of decline. As soon as this news came out, countless people in the world rushed to tell the news.
.Rejoice.
At this time, you can’t ignore a mere two cents of silver. Perhaps for a rich man like Zhang Linqi, he would be too lazy to pick up these two cents of silver when he sees them on the road. But for ordinary people living at the bottom, this is just one month.
How much money does it cost to buy groceries? In Guangkailai, what if your family had three to five acres of land? How big a difference would it make!
Therefore, this is really a move that benefits the people. Zhang Linqi was also deeply relieved after learning the news. With his time travel, history has finally changed! In the original history, at this time
The Ming Dynasty was in trouble both internally and externally, so Chongzhen had no choice but to break his previous promise, temporarily burdening our people for one year, and continued to send an additional "training salary" of more than 730,000 taels.
But this is different from drinking poison to quench thirst. The more than 730,000 taels confiscated are not enough to pay the military expenses of those desperate victims who were forced to rebel! But now, not only has there been no increase in donations, but a rent reduction, part of this
Advance and retreat, the impact is so far-reaching!
And after Zhang Linqi brought Princess Changping back to the General's Mansion, he settled her in and started working more energetically! Also, he married four wives at once, and they were all the best in the world.
Beauty, can you be unhappy?
While he was happy, Zhang Linqi also thought of Liu Da Bangchui, the commander of his personal bodyguards. Wasn't he also trying to pick up girls some time ago? I don't know what the result is now, but when Zhang Linqi called Liu Da Bangchui over and asked, he found out
He knew that his affairs were going very unsatisfactory, and that he was even in danger of being ruined. So what was going on? Let’s talk about it one by one.
It turns out that Liu Da Bangchui returned from his trip to Shandong. After several months of recuperation, he finally returned to the army with honor and became the commander of his personal bodyguards. After recovering from his injury, Liu Da Bangchui couldn't rest anymore, so Zhang Linqi approved it.
He took a few days off to relax. So Liu Da Bangchui went for a walk on the street, thinking about buying something for Xiao Hong, because he felt that Xiao Hong was suddenly a little cold to him these days.
Then Liu Da Bangchui was in tragedy because he fell into something he shouldn’t have fallen into, and it was a trap!
It was on a small street. Liu Da Bangchui was walking around when he suddenly saw two young people setting up a stall on the street. On the stall were two small cups, one in red and one in a basket.
A small rope loop to hold the cup. It also says to test your eyesight.
Hey, what is this? Liu Da Bangchui suddenly became interested. "Brother, come and play. It's very exciting!" When the two young men saw Liu Da Bangchui coming over, they said, "It's very exciting!"
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
As for the other guy, he also has a very distinctive appearance. His head is long and slender, as if someone had split it in half with a knife. And when he talks, he keeps shaking it, like a bullet.
Snake head. Now this guy looks like a big fat sheep. In excitement, the snake head shakes even more happily.
People like them are the best at observing words and expressions. With a big stick, you will know that it is a big fat sheep! Isn't it? They are wearing fine silk and satin, but they look like a stick, and they are so naive.
If he’s not a big fat sheep, he’s still the kind of person who is stupid and has a lot of money!
"But I don't know how to play!" Liu Da Bangchui touched his head and said. He wanted to play, but he couldn't.
"No, it's okay." The 'monkey' said with a smile: "You, someone is coming to play, right? You can get used to it after a while."
And as soon as he finished speaking, a guy in his thirties jumped out of nowhere, with a sinister appearance. He kept saying: "Haha, I was very lucky yesterday. In less than half an hour,
I just won two taels of silver. How about trying your luck today!"
Then he started to play. In fact, this is really simple. The monkey uses a rope to cover the cup, and then covers it with his hand. Let you guess. You only need to guess whether the color of the cup is red or blue, then it will be
Won. Each guess was worth five cents. (Originally, each guess was worth one cent, but after a lot of effort, a fat sheep arrived and the price was immediately increased five times.)
"Haha, I guessed, and I guessed again." The guy with the sinister look had good luck today. He guessed again and again, and soon he had won nearly five taels of silver. And what about the two stall holders?
, no matter who comes in, the result will be the same. It’s hard to escape that guy’s eyes!
