There were still many people who came to congratulate Zhang Zijun on his wedding banquet. In addition to Liu Sheng, Yang Shoucheng, and Li Bingyi, there were also five people from the same year, Xia Zhiming, Yuan Jie, Yan Zuxing, Wu Daohong, and Wang Cunli. Among them, Xia Zhiming ranked second.

64, Yuan Jie ranked second and ranked 70th, Yan Zuxing ranked second and ranked 83rd, and Wang Cunli ranked third and 40th. These are all staying in Beijing and currently observing politics in the Sixth Science. Since they climbed up on their own, they will not

It’s easy to refuse, and the reason is self-explanatory. Zhang Zijun is currently the seventh rank of the imperial review committee, and his father-in-law Yao Kui is a big shot in the court. To outsiders, they seem to be people with backing. However, these five are currently without rank, and they still have no rank.

You have to observe the government for a year, and one year later it will be the ninth grade. The grade is much lower, so you have to find someone with connections to attach yourself first. With the name of the same year, there may be some opportunity to end the observation of the government early and arrange a real job.

In addition to these few people, there are also Wang Lun, the general judge of Shuntian Prefecture, Confucianism, Discipline, the street is upright, and all the neighbors are here. My family has a cheap uncle Li Fukuan and his family, the eldest brother Xing Kai and his family, and the second

Brother Xu Jingnian has a large family, followed by everyone in the family.

The chef from Zuixianlou in Beijing was invited early in the morning to take care of things. All the ingredients were put in place. It turned out to be a lively place with eight tables set up. This was the Ming Dynasty version of a banquet. The door was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

It was all done by the Du family. Zhang Erbao invited a theater troupe and was singing on the stage in the Second Entrance Courtyard. There were gongs and drums from the theater troupe beating temporarily at the door. It was very festive. In Zhang Zijun's opinion, this also represented the pomp of the new Jinshi.

, respecting the woman’s family and attaching great importance to the marriage, from a side perspective, it is not embarrassing for both parties.

Although Zhang Zijun appears to be nineteen years old, he has the soul and experience of a thirty-eight-year-old in his heart. He also knows the historical direction of the next five hundred years in detail. He is never rash in dealing with people and uses the smooth way of dealing with things in his previous life.

It makes everyone happy, but it's a pity that if you want to change something alone, it's too small and powerless. You just want to live a stable and happy life.

All these pomps will be arranged properly by someone, without Zhang Zijun’s orders and nagging. This is the reality. Even the Baotou, oil buns, sesame cakes, old wine, daily utensils, etc. sent to the bride’s family for the engagement are all made by children.

Ya was taking care of it, but there was no gold or silver jewelry. Zhang Zijun went out of his way to give something as a gift. He cleaned the few pickle glass bottles he had picked up from the trunk, and asked Du Zhuang to make a few trays out of fine ebony and carve some on them.

The simple moiré pattern, when you put the bottle up, immediately became a priceless treasure at this moment. One large and two small colorless transparent glass bottles with large mouths were treasures. Du Zhuang also made a wooden cover for each one.

The inside is wrapped in green moiré silk, and the outer shell is painted with red paint for a festive look.

When this item was opened in the Yao Mansion, even the roll callers could no longer sing. At this time in the Ming Dynasty, the betrothal gifts sent by the groom's family were "rolled out" one by one in the main hall of the woman's family.

The amount and value of the gift should be used to show the lady's dignity. The surrounding relatives and guests attending the banquet can all hear it.

For example: "Eighteen quilts were built, two pairs of wooden basins, eight pairs of wedding curtains, six sets of wedding axes, three hundred taels of silver, etc. However, Zhang Zijun did not have gold and silver jewelry. When he opened the silver box, there were three

The red lacquered wooden box was thought to be gold and silver jewelry at first, so the roll caller habitually yelled from the side: "Three boxes of jewelry, one head... one head... one head," and he couldn't continue singing because he saw

The three colorless and transparent bottles are not bottles, and the cups are not like cups. Under the illumination of lamps and candles, they also emit bright reflections. Oh my, these are treasures! One or two Western Regions Glazed Jars

Little three.

"Liu Li" first appeared in "Salt and Iron Theory" written by Huan Kuan of the Western Han Dynasty, "...and jade, coral, and colored glaze became national treasures." The name Liuli was still used until the Ming Dynasty. Five hundred years later, "Liu Li"

The term is mostly used for glazed tiles in buildings and glazed decorations on tile roofs. Now during the Tianshun period, this kind of glass is called "Julin", also known as "Ganyu" and "glazed glass".

Zhang Zijun's three bottles are valuable because they are colorless and transparent, because the currently rare "glazed" products are somewhat green and turbid.

With the roll call, the entire Yao family was alarmed. People who originally just wanted to watch the excitement gathered around to have fun, but now they were shocked. The next scene was a treasure appraisal show.

Yao Weishan molded these three small glass bottles with trembling hands and said to his son Yao Kui: "This is a national treasure, the Yao family cannot afford it! I have lost my sight, what is the background of this kid from the Zhang family?"

?When this guy comes to patrol the wine shop later, be sure to ask clearly."

At this time, the Yao family was shouting and panicking. Of course, Zhang Zijun had no idea. In Zhang Zijun's eyes, he was just trying to get by, using worthless industrial products from his previous life to exchange for his wife.

.I really can’t get anything decent and valuable out of my house. My ideas couldn’t be simpler, and I didn’t consider the consequences.

Just when Zhang Zijun came to Yao Mansion in a carriage happily, he found that the atmosphere of Yao Mansion was different. It should have been full of joy, but as soon as he entered the mansion, it was deserted. Following the introduction of the concierge, he entered the second courtyard.

He realized that everyone was inside, looking at the three glass bottles he had sent to him in the hall, making hissing teethache sounds from time to time.

When Yao Xi saw Zhang Zijun coming, he grabbed him and said, "Follow me." He was taken directly to the backyard.

In the living room in the backyard, the Yao family were all together. Yao Weishan and Yao Kui were sitting in the middle. Zhang Zijun quickly took two steps forward and saluted: "My son-in-law has met the old man and his father-in-law." Yao Kui replied: "No need to be polite.

I just want to ask about the origin of the three "glazed" bottles included in the wedding gift.

It was only then that Zhang Zijun felt something was wrong. It turned out that he had created such a scene and was talking about the three bottles.

In fact, regarding the statement about the bottle, Zhang Zijun had long thought about how to "confuse it", so he did not show any panic. Instead, he said calmly: "This is left by the ancestors. My father-in-law knows it, and my son-in-law knows it."

My hometown is close to the border. My ancestors once went to Monan and exchanged thirty bricks of tea for three "glazed" bottles from a merchant from the Western Regions. They have been kept at home. When my father was still alive, he once told me that this

Treasures should not be left at home, they should be used where they are useful. This time my son-in-law’s engagement happened to be used as a betrothal gift. I hope my father-in-law will not dislike it. Although this gift is a little light or missing, it is also a sincere gift from my son-in-law.

You mean it."

Yao Weishan coughed repeatedly as he listened. Yao Xi interjected: "Brother-in-law, this is too little. It's too light. It's too heavy. This gift is too heavy for the Yao family to bear."

Zhang Zijun said shamelessly: "The gift has been given and I can't take it back. How about you take the big one back to me?"

The more he spoke, the more outrageous he became. Yao Kui couldn't listen any more. He slapped the table and said, "Asshole, I always think you are steady and frivolous."

He froze like this, Zhang Zijun's mind was spinning fast. It would have been better if he had only sent one bottle. He didn't expect that the three bottles would turn out like this. He wanted to turn the current unfavorable situation into an advantage as soon as possible.

The whole room was silent for a long time. Yao Weishan stopped coughing and Yao Kui stopped sighing. Zhang Zijun came up with a way and said: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has a good idea. Give the big one to the emperor."

, maybe my father-in-law doesn’t have to go to Nanjing to take up a post. This is the time for the court to hire people, so maybe the treasure offering will be useful...

At what they just said, Yao Kui and Yao Weishan looked at each other and nodded slightly. Zhang Zijun said quickly: "There is another village full of bright flowers."

Yao Kui thought about this kind of thing faster than anyone else. The more he thought about it, the more hopeful he became, and his expression gradually softened.

Zhang Zijun looked at it and thought that he had passed this level. It was not my original intention to cause such a scene with three broken bottles. Don't be rude in the future. By the way, there are more than a dozen mineral water bottles at home, although they are not glass.

Bottles, plastic items like these can be fatal if taken out.

There are also lights in the study. The 12V car headlights that Zhang Zijun uses batteries to light up cannot be shown to anyone. They are currently used as desk lamps and cannot be displayed in plain sight. They will be put away when they get back. There are also computers, solar panels and other things that will be stored later.

It can only be used if it is safe at home.

In this strict hierarchical Ming Dynasty, there were regulations. If ordinary people had rare things in their homes, it would be a trivial matter if they were robbed, and they might even lose their lives. However, officials had to hide some treasures, otherwise they would attract thieves and bandits.

Burying the money in the house underground or hiding it in the walls is all a helpless act.

The big reaction of the Yao family was also due to the consideration of safety issues, and what kind of things should be enjoyed according to what kind of status.

The Yao family handled such hot things very well. The next day, Yao Kui presented the big bottle to Zhu Qizhen, the Yingzong. Originally, Yao Kui had resigned, and after the morning court, he took the bottle into the palace and kept it in the Yangxin Hall.

When he asked to see Yingzong, he said it was to express his gratitude, but in reality he was offering a treasure.

Sure enough, Emperor Yingzong liked Yao Kui very much. Yingzong knew Yao Kui's character and knew that he wanted to stay in the capital when he presented the treasure. However, the official document had been issued and he could not change it immediately, so he said: "I have done meritorious service by presenting the treasure. I will be transferred back to the capital after a few months."

Let me serve as the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs." It's like giving you a few months' long vacation. I will treat you as a tourist and then come back. I will promote you to an official position. I don't mean to wrong you.

With the emperor's golden mouth, Yao Kui finally relaxed his restless heart and returned home happily. This time the treasure was bet correctly.

Now Zhang Zijun is dancing and dancing at home, because the Yao family's generous return gifts made Zhang Zijun shout: "I made a profit, I made a profit, I made a fortune!"
