As the lectures at Zishan Hall stopped, Ye An found that his life suddenly became more fulfilling. Giving lectures to the emperor really delayed things...
Although the tavern next to the Daxiangguo Temple has been expanded, it is still "overcrowded". In order to facilitate the waiting of customers, Ye An had to rent an open space across the street, put up a shed and put up benches for people to rest.
.
Such a booming business did not even occur to him.
He had no choice but to hire carpenters in his own house and start his second industry, furniture production...
Originally, he didn't plan to start the furniture industry early, but he couldn't handle the huge demand, and at the same time he had to provide better service quality for the tavern, so he had no choice but to invite Qin Mumu over.
Women are born to be masters of home decoration, especially after seeing Ye An's house, this "heroine" who had not yet entered the house began to take charge of the house in the dilapidated house.
Of course, he was still "careful" about Xuan'er as before, frightening this "little girl" who was responsible for several lives.
Qin Mumu did this entirely to completely overcome this unstable factor. This was the case in Lan Kwai Fong and it was still the case in the mansion.
After receiving the news, the Wang Gang made a special trip back to urge Ye An to get married as soon as possible. Although it was a little hasty, they really couldn't stand the boldness of these two "living ancestors".
How can anyone live in a house without getting married?
Qin Mumu didn't care, Ye An even more didn't care, Tie Hanhan felt bad, Xuan'er felt that her Marquis had been insulted, and the Wang gang was as anxious as if their butts were burned.
In Ye An's view, getting married is not a big deal, but in the eyes of people of this era, this is a shameless and disrespectful crime. Someone can break your spine when you go out!
Fortunately, neither Ye An nor Qin Mumu have their families around.
But Ye An has many elders. Xuan Chengzi, Wang Yuan, and Wang Hao are all Ye An's elders. Even Lan Jizong and Chen Lin knew the news and reprimanded him for his rudeness.
For this reason, Qin Mumu was summoned by Liu E, who scolded her more than once, saying that she was an insult to women's honor and integrity, and even more so to the Tian family.
After hearing the news, Ye An was a little confused, why did he insult the Tian family? He lived with Qin Mumu and had a dime relationship with the old Zhao family?
It's true that Lan Jizong and Chen Lin, two high-ranking officials from the palace, came together again, saying they wanted to congratulate them on the housewarming, but they looked as if Ye An owed them a hundred thousand yuan.
While drinking wine and eating the meat that Ye An had roasted himself, Lan Jizong glared at Ye An with dissatisfaction and said: "Yehou, it's not the old slave who told you, how come you don't understand the truth?! You're doing this
Let the Tian family be humiliated too!"
"You don't need to say this to him. If you give him a good punch, he will know what to do!"
Chen Lin glanced sideways at Ye An, then smiled and said to Qin Mumu who was pouring him wine: "So Mumu! You can't let him do whatever he wants. The title of King of Yangcheng County was given by a saint.
Yes, this is to praise your womanly virtues. You live in the same mansion with him now. Even if you don't sleep on the same bed, you still enter and exit through the same door. Your reputation in the public is greatly slandered.
Isn’t it a slap in the saint’s face?”
Qin Mumu slowly lowered his head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito's moan: "What Uncle Chen said is that I know I was wrong."
Such an attitude is like that of a child who has done something wrong. The more beautiful a person is when he admits his mistake, the more likely he is to be forgiven by others.
As a result, Ye An was immediately severely criticized. The two old guys were eating and drinking their own food, and they were still "verbally and verbally criticizing" him, while he still had to smile with him.
What's even more annoying is that Qin Mumu took the initiative to move here from the beginning, and in the end all the mistakes were placed on her!
No matter how "good" Ye An's temper is... he doesn't dare to get angry right now. He keeps smiling and announces his wedding date to Qin Mumu before the first month of the year!
Looking at Qin Mumu's cannibalistic eyes, Ye An felt as happy as if he had "beaten up" Chen Lin and Lan Jizong.
The two of them were finally at ease. Lan Jizong said with a smile: "That's it, the male is getting married and the female is getting married! What happened between the two of you can be considered a strange thing in Tokyo...
You should get married as soon as possible!"
What do you mean by this, what is an anecdote? Shouldn’t it be a beautiful story?
Although he was unhappy, Ye An knew that these two people were doing it for his own good, but he was very surprised: "Two high-ranking officials are so free? Don't they have to work in the palace?"
Chen Lin and Lan Jizong looked at him with extremely strange eyes, and then suddenly realized: "Yehou, you really don't know! Today is the Chengtian Festival, and we have some time to relax, so we came out of the palace to find you...
...I wish you a happy housewarming. Besides, you have to deal with the trivial matters at home, right?"
Well, today is the birthday of Emperor Zhenzong. The birthday of every emperor in the Song Dynasty is a festival. Officials can have three days off, which also includes the birthday of the Queen Mother and the birthdays of previous emperors.
Good guy~~ Now there are more than ten days of Holy Day holidays every year, and this does not include more than ten kinds of holidays, large, medium and small...
The imperial court gave a seven-day holiday for the three major festivals of Spring Festival, Winter Solstice and Cold Food Festival, three days for the Holy Festival, and one day for eighteen small festivals such as Spring Society, Autumn Society, Shangsi, Dragon Boat Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Beginning of Spring, and Human Day.
In Lan Jizong's words, courtiers have fifty-four days of holiday in a year, not counting leave.
It is inevitable that there will be some three disasters and five illnesses in life. The longest sick leave can be a hundred days! This made Ye An sigh, "It's really humane management!"
Of course, the most important wedding and funeral holidays are not short either.
The longest period of bereavement leave is clearly stipulated to be three years. This is what officials must abide by. No matter what the reason is, unless the emperor orders to take away the love, they must return to their hometown and observe mourning for three years. This is almost a fatal blow to an official.
.
There are too many political interests and means involved in this, and neither Lan Jizong nor Chen Lin elaborated on it, because keeping filial piety simply does not exist for Ye An, a Yunzhong prince who "jumped out of a stone"...
Nine days of wedding leave is quite enough, especially since Ye An has set the date before the new year, and the wedding leave not only includes the leave earned from his own marriage, but also one to five days of leave to attend other people's weddings, but the so-called
Holidays are limited to officials only.
Such a welfare system made Qin Mumu's family members praise the old Zhao family for their "awesomeness".
Neither Qin Mumu nor Ye An wanted to get married early. Although it was not uncommon in this era to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, it was still a bit of a psychological burden for them.
But they can't stand up to the etiquette and rules of this world, not to mention that the two of them sometimes need to be together, so getting married becomes Ye An's best choice.
Now that he has a house, Ye An himself has a pretty stable "career". Qin Mumu's Lan Kwai Fong and Ye An's tavern can bring enough wealth to this small family.
The two need to be together reasonably and legally. The most important thing is that almost everyone knows about Ye An and Qin Mumu. Qin Mumu, the king of Yangcheng County who is three years older than Ye An, should also be reasonable.
Married.
It's not what you think, it's what others think.
In the eyes of Lan Jizong and Chen Lin, Qin Mumu needs a man to rely on, which is exactly the same as the reason why she married Ye An.
It wasn't Qin Mumu who thought she needed it, but Lan Jizong, Chen Lin, and even Liu E who thought she needed it. The title of Yangcheng County Lord above her was obtained because of Ye An, and Qin Mumu was very unhappy about this.
