I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 107 Going to Zhao Mansion
On this day, Zhiyao dressed up carefully and needed to visit the Zhao family with her father.

"Lord, how can Rang not understand the general situation?" Yu Rang was surprised that he didn't have to follow this time.

Here's the thing.Isn't Yurang Zhiyao's bodyguard?Zhiyao is going to visit the Zhao family, and she plans to give Yurang no need to follow her today.

The reason, of course, was that Yu Rang assassinated Liang Ying's father, and no matter how bad the relationship between Liang Ying's father and Zhao Yang was, he was the Xiaozong of the Zhao family, that is, the leader of the Liang family.In this case, it would definitely not be suitable for Yu Rang to go to the Zhao family with Zhiyao.

Zhiyao's body is a soul from later generations, and her thinking and three views cannot be the same as those of today's people. It is a habit of people to take care of the "body shield".

If they were native-born nobles of the Spring and Autumn Period, they basically would not care about the feelings of the inferiors. Everything was based on their own needs, and it was impossible to explain or comfort them.

"Lord, don't do this..." Yu Rang was surprised at first, and then turned into gratitude.

He should be grateful for receiving such treatment and respect from the superiors.

At first Zhiyao didn't react, but after she did, she felt a little embarrassed in her heart.

The Spring and Autumn Periods are different. The lower-ranking people will be excited and grateful when they are appreciated by the higher-ranking people. If they work hard with a grateful attitude, they will be rewarded again as a gift.

There is no way, the social environment is like that, and besides, people's thinking is too pure now.

Feeling respected by Yu Rang, he felt that he had the same philosophy as Zhiyao, and he was more eager to die. He wished that someone would come out to offend Zhiyao, and he would stab him to death with a sword.

"Jean, I need you to do something." Zhiyao thought of something and said.

Yu Rang immediately put on a polite posture to accept the order.

Zhiyao said: "Go to the city to buy soldiers and armour, ten for each category, no limit to any family."

As the capital, "Xintian" must have a market, and the slave trade is the largest. The rest of the grains and animals that are eaten, as well as the weapons and armors of various patterns, may not be all types anyway, but there are definitely many types.

Zhiyao, who ordered the task, did not take any action to pay.

The current currency is copper, which is called "gold". There are many styles of currency. The Jin country mainly uses knife coins, and other countries also have their own currency styles, such as tripod coins and yuan coins, but most of them are knife coins.

By the way, it is actually a knife-shaped currency, but the word "dao" did not exist in the Spring and Autumn Period. Now people call it "soldier currency", which is different from modern times.

No matter how strong Zhiyao's load-bearing capacity is, can he still carry hundreds of thousands of catties of coins with him?
Another point is that the currency is copper, but it is definitely not bronze, that is, it contains more copper and is a reddish-yellow color, so it is called "gold". The copper coins unearthed in modern times are too old. Oxidation is the color of black lacquer.

At the same time, the nobles used horseshoe-shaped "gold" in large transactions, but rarely used knife coins, tripod coins, and round coins.

Zhiyao can order other people to do the shopping, but the problem is that Yu Rang must always do the things, otherwise Yu Rang is too loyal and wanders around the Zhao family's mansion, and both parties will be very embarrassed at that time, and there may be problems other things.

Yu Rang, who received the task, left.He represents Zhiyao to purchase and does not need to pay immediately. Later, Zhi's retainers will settle the bill, or the merchant will come to settle the bill.

This is the reality, no matter in ancient times or in modern times, the bigger the family, the less they need to pay immediately when buying things, and even allow merchants to bring goods to their door to provide a selection, while ordinary people need to pay immediately when buying things.

After Zhishen was ready, he took Zhiyao and went out.

The father and son were riding in the same car, and the person driving the car was Bo Bodao's personal retainer.

"I've always wanted to improve the frame, but I didn't take action..." Zhiyao wanted to do too many things, and improving the frame was not one of the most urgent matters.

The current car does not have a brake device, let alone a shock absorber, and even the wheels are directly fixed to the car body, and there is no such thing as an axle.

Axles did not appear until the middle of the Warring States period, and shock absorbers did not appear until modern times.

Because of the lack of too many structures, the chariot needs a large range to turn, so that when the chariot enters the state of war, it needs to rely on manpower to stop or make small turns.

Zhiyao has seen more than once that to turn the chariot around, it depends on several people to lift it, and to stop it is to torture the livestock pulling the chariot.

He didn't improve the chariot immediately, mainly because he always felt that the chariot would be eliminated in his consciousness, and it was difficult to feel any sense of urgency.

"Yao?" Seeing that Zhiyao had been checking the frame, Zhishen felt a little puzzled.

"My lord." Zhiyao thought it was something.

It is not a simple matter for the father and son to go out. The warriors of Lao Zhi's family went to investigate and guard along the road early on. At the same time, there were five hundred guards and nearly eighty vehicles carrying various items.

The items to be carried are the engagement ceremony for the engagement, there are not too many things included, most of them are not expensive things, they are just necessary things for the engagement ceremony.

Some items were boxed, and others were hastily covered with cloth.

Among the eighty two frames, the frame loaded with cloth is the most.

After all, Laozhi's family is a super rich textile company, so it is only natural to give more cloth to the wedding ceremony besides the necessities.

It can be seen that there are tassels on some frames that are not tightly covered, and the appearance is quite good.It is one of the necessities of the engagement wedding in the Spring and Autumn Period.

More necessities for the engagement ceremony were boxed, in fact, they were all kinds of jewelry, very precious brocade and satin.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were brocade and satin?It seems so strange.

Silk and satin appeared earlier than brocade.This is of course because in summer time, the ancestors have mastered the technology of artificial silkworm rearing.

At present, the value of brocade is higher than that of silk, and brocade is also a kind of cloth with many colorful colors, which is generally used for decoration on certain parts of clothing.

When they were about one mile away from Zhao's mansion, they saw Zhao Bolu and others from Zhao's family who had been waiting for reception at the entrance.

"Yao!" Zhao Bolu greeted Zhiyao first when he saw Zhiyao, and then saluted Zhishen when he got close, saying, "Uncle."

To be called "uncle" does not necessarily need to be related by blood, and friends who have a good relationship with their parents can also call them that.

Now there is nothing wrong with Zhao Bolu calling Uncle Zhishen.

The fact that the Zhao family sent Zhao Bolu leaders to receive them one mile away was a manifestation of etiquette, nothing more than to express that they valued this marriage and were willing to respect the Zhi family.

"Bolu, get in the car." Zhishen is usually a very dull person, but that doesn't mean he's not easy to get along with. He has kindness and patience towards juniors that other peers don't have.

Zhao Bolu got into the car and walked side by side with Zhishen and Zhiyao.

Zhishen asked: "I heard that Bolu is going to lead the army in the near future?"

Didn't the Jin civil war reach the stage where the victor reaps the fruits?The Zhi family, Zhao family, Wei family, and Han family are all doing the same thing, and the rest of the middle nobles who have been allocated quotas are also doing the same.

"Go back to Uncle, Bolu will be leaving in three days." Zhao Bolu said and looked at Zhiyao, blinking his eyes but didn't know what he wanted to express.

At this moment, Zhiyao was thinking: "No way? Could it be that Zhao Yang wants me to be Zhao Bolu's nanny???"

In the past, Zhao Yang certainly couldn't say that, and he was not qualified to ask for it.

Now, isn't Zhiyao about to get engaged to Fenying?The relationship between the two families is one step closer, and it is not too much to ask Zhiyao to accompany them on the expedition.

"How should I refuse?" Zhiyao stayed in the country to accompany her grandfather Zhibi, not to help Zhao Shi, let alone be a thug.

Chatting all the way, through a very long alley, came to the main entrance of Zhao's mansion.

Now the main entrance has no distinction between the main gate and the two small gates on the left and right, it is just a gate.

The gate of Zhao's mansion is open, and the frame from Lao Zhi's house just stopped at a certain section of the fence, and will enter through an entrance of the fence over there.

That is to say, the house occupies a large area and is surrounded by a wall. There are not only the front door and the back door, but a certain part of the wall still provides access for entry and exit.The gates of the fence are generally used for the servants to enter and exit.

"Shen." Seeing Zhi's team approaching, Zhao Yang came out from the door to greet Zhishen, and then glanced at Zhiyao with a smile.

Because the Zhao family also has a big business and is in the same situation as the Zhi family, there are actually no families with mismatched identities around the mansion, and naturally there are no crowds of onlookers.

Zhishen greeted Zhao Yang somewhat unnaturally, and the two took the lead into the mansion, followed by Zhiyao, Zhao Bolu and some core clan members from the Zhi and Zhao clans.

Among Zhi's people, there is Fuguo.

Originally, Zhi Xuwu should also be present, but Zhi Xuwu got the mission and did not stay in the capital.

They walked through the vestibule, passed through some courtyards, and came to a lobby used by the Zhao family to entertain distinguished guests.

There is already a group of people inside, men and women on both sides.

Zhiyao saw Zhao Wuxie and Zhao Yang's other descendants, and also saw a group of women of different ages.

Those women surrounded a girl in rich clothes. They were chattering and frolicking before, but when they saw Zhao Yang, Zhishen and others coming in, they hurriedly controlled their mouths.

Zhiyao immediately recognized who Fen Ying was, all because the old Zhi family had sent several sets of clothes over in advance, the intention was of course for Fen Ying to wear them, and then Zhiyao would recognize who would be hers based on the clothes fiancée.

Everyone sat down separately.

Zhao Yang and Zhishen sat on the left and right sides of the main seat.

Zhiyao and Zhao Bolu sat side by side on the left side, just facing Fenying and several wives who would be dowry.

"This is my future wife?"

"Is he the one who will be my husband?"

Two pairs of eyes staring at each other...
