Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 43 Taking a Concubine
  The next day, Zhao Zhen woke up and went to the east courtyard to practice martial arts first. The villagers in the courtyard all set up their postures and followed the other instructors to practice martial arts. The newcomer Tao Zongwang also picked up a pole and competed with Han Bolong.

Zhao Zhen practiced the water and land swordsmanship for a while, but did not see San Ruan coming. He only knew that San Ruan had drunk too much yesterday and was still awake, so he put his mind down and concentrated on practicing martial arts.

After breakfast, Cinnabar came to report that there were three missing fishing boats on the pier, and he had not finished speaking. Zhao Yuanli led Ruan Xiaoer's son in and said that his father and two uncles had gone fishing in the lake at five o'clock today, saying that they wanted to catch some big fish as a celebration.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Your father is thoughtful."

With that said, he ordered the boy to fetch two plates of snacks and asked Ruan Liang to take them back and give them to the old lady to try.

After seeing Ruan Liang off, Zhao Yuanli said: "Master, now the three books are ready, and they have all been written by Sun Zhengjiao. The acceptance, asking for names, accepting, accepting, and requesting deadlines have all been completed, and the date is set for the day after tomorrow. On the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, it is appropriate to receive gifts, get married, pay tribute to the earth, erect pillars, open a business, and pray for blessings.

The Bai family's dowry arrived early this morning, consisting of six large items and seven small items.

The six major items include a makeup box [with a diamond-patterned bronze mirror inside, a jade flower-and-bird pattern comb, rouge and gouache, a pair of white jade bracelets, two pairs of gold and silver bracelets, a pair of pearl rings, a pair of white jade rings, and a pair of pearl earrings]. One bed [eight buns and eight covers, two beds with colored silk and silk quilts, two beds with purple silk and silk quilts, two beds with purple silk and silk embroidered quilts, two beds with double-colored mandarin duck quilts, sachets and double-layer bunkers with silk yarn] Tent, big red curtain, embroidered satin bed curtain, colorful satin quilt, mandarin duck pillow], nanmu bookcase [with "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", "Huang Di Nei Jing", "Yellow Emperor's Nei Jing Su Wen", "Essential Prescriptions for Emergency Preparedness" One volume each], two pairs of camphor wood boxes [containing leather, cotton, jackets, singles, yarn and other seasonal clothes], the bottom of the box [18 pieces of porcelain for men and women, a volume of "Su Nv Jing"] and three descendants' treasure barrels [Children bucket (toilet), wealth bucket (water bucket) and cornucopia (foot basin)].

Among the seven small items, there is a spittoon, which means that the house is full of children and grandchildren; a red ruler, which means vast hectares of fertile land; two pairs of vases, which means flowers are blooming and wealth; a copper plate, which means growing old together, with the same heart; and a silver bag and belt, which means having a lot of money. A dragon and phoenix quilt on a bed symbolizes affection and affection; two pairs of dragon and phoenix bowls and chopsticks symbolize abundant food and clothing.

There are also one box each of the medicinal materials ginseng, salvia, fleece-flower root, and Ganoderma lucidum, and one box each of the spices clove and angelica. "

Zhao Zhen listened and nodded. Zhao Zhen didn't care about the amount of the dowry. The Bai family's dowry of medical books and medicinal materials was somewhat new, which was in line with the family of world doctors.

The two talked about some further arrangements, and after finishing talking, Zhao Yuanli went about his business, sweeping the courtyard and putting up lanterns and decorations.

The Bai family still moved out of Xikua Hospital. Zhao Yuanli arranged two adjacent courtyards next to the hospital. One was for Bai Duo and his family to live in, and the other was used as a breeding ground for medicinal snakes. He dug a snake pit and removed the highly venomous vipers from Xikua Hospital. They all moved there, and two young people from the village were arranged to live here. I also read "Secret Records of Snake Control". During the day, I studied the theory of traditional Chinese medicine with Bai Duo, and consulted doctors. At night, I visited the nearby snake pit and fed the medicinal snakes. The Zhong family father and son also often come here to help. Among the four, Zhong Mu is the most qualified and has more knowledge than the younger students in the village. He is young and flexible, and can often draw inferences from one instance to another. It won't take long for him to be employed as a snake, wine, and bell doctor.

Zhao Yuanli and his fellow stewards were all worried about the wedding, and many villagers came to help. Zhao Zhen still practices martial arts step by step to deal with things in the village.

Zhao Zhen made some calculations on his own. In the main world, only by joining the army and performing meritorious service and receiving rewards can he quickly obtain a higher position. The road to recruiting bankers can only be pursued slowly. After all, the main world is relatively stable, and the liquidity of bankers is also small. Without major changes, bankers will not relocate easily. After all, it is the nature of the people to settle down and relocate. It is human nature to be close to each other.

At present, it seems that Luliu Township should be the fiefdom of Gaohu, the pavilion chief. Otherwise, Luliu Township with 3000 households would not be without three elders, Youzhi, Chefu, and Youyou. A pavilion chief manages Luliu Township with 3000 households. It's unreasonable. At that time, I was only focused on deciding on the land and didn't think about anything here.

I still have to pay a visit when I return to the main world this time. There is a 100-jin carp in the village, and I will send it to him by taking the opportunity to leave a seal and archive it. Since this Luliu Township is the fiefdom of Gaohu, as a direct descendant of the royal family, it cannot be said that it is cheap, and it is best to get more people.

On the contrary, the fantasy world has great potential. The land, population, and heroic troops are slowly gathering together. Although it is a bit remote, it can be said that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one is there to control it. Practice martial arts every day, eat and drink happily, and slowly advance to the next level. You can live a long life. Now that you have a beautiful concubine in sight, your prospects are better than those in the main world.

There is fog all around, and it is easy to expand outward. In Dongxi Village, which is across the river, I have already inquired and found out that only Baozheng Chao Gai took office as a tota warrior and became a fighting hero with some martial arts. The rest are ordinary farmers. Some time ago, a big snake attacked people. Not only was a fishing boat attacked in Xixi Village, but it was even worse, two boats were attacked in Dongxi Village. I asked someone to inquire and found out that the current fishermen in Dongxi Village did not dare to go into the water because they did not know about the snake demon. They only made a living by picking up some clams, shrimps and fish by the stream in Dongxi Village. Chao Gai was not good at water, and he was frowning all day long. The county also offered a reward, but no one announced it.

Not counting himself, there are eight heroes of the Ruan family who are good at fighting, including Jiao Ting, Guang Hui, Bao Xu, Han Bolong, and Tao Zongwang. No, there is also one person, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang. Zhao Zhen then thought of summoning himself. The first Tiangang figure is Liu Tang. For some reason, he has not arrived yet. Based on this calculation, annexing Dongxi Village should be easy. For now, keep this in mind.

The current fantasy world has accumulated 53 points of luck through the expansion of heroes, special products, arms, and land, and Zhao Zhen launched another ordinary summons.

  Consuming luck 1, a group of lost soldiers heard about it and came soon.

Zhao Zhen looked at the Xiangjun soldiers who prompted him, and they had no names. He simply didn't pay attention to them and just waited for them to be settled. Just find a place to live in advance so that you can settle in easily.

In the remaining two days, Zhao Zhen and Guang Hui went to Baishi Gang and appointed Tao Zongwang as the manager. He was responsible for digging harbor branches, building waterways, opening rivers, building roads, building houses, and tidying up city walls. Tao Zongwang had a night's rest. , take the temple drawings. Today, I eagerly recruited this group of villagers who are good at building, and recruited fifty or seventy villagers in the village, and went to Baishi Gang to build the pagoda temple.

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Zhen looked at the lanterns and colorful decorations inside and outside the house. The courtyard was full of red silk wedding invitations, and it was a festive scene. There were red flowers, red candles, red lanterns, colorful lanterns, floats, and costumes and dances. New house, new people, new atmosphere, full of joy and joy. On this day, Zhao Zhen also stopped what he was doing and sat in the main hall watching Zhao Yuanli bring in all the busy things he was doing, waiting to get married tomorrow.

Just after noon, San Ruan returned in his boat and caught 60 golden carp weighing 7 kilograms and four-bearded carp as a congratulatory gift.

Zhao Zhen saw the tired expressions on the three people's faces and reproached: "We are brothers, why should we rush for a while? Although we are happy to have such a good fish, it is not as good as brotherhood. Let's rest early today and conspire with our brothers tomorrow." Get drunk."

When Sanruan saw what Zhao Zhen said so affectionately, they were all happy and went back to their rooms to rest.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, on the morning of the tenth day of the lunar month, Zhao Zhenzhuang slaughtered sheep and pigs. There were also big fish caught by the Ruan brothers, shrimps and frogs caught by Zhusha, and pheasants, hares and deer hunted by Li Ji, the rabbits. Now there was a big bowl of wine. A large plate of meat is served to the village households, men, women, old and young, for a wedding banquet and a day of music and music.

After picking up the bride in the morning, the process of marrying a concubine was completed through lighting up the sedan chair, setting off the sedan chair, getting up the sedan chair, bumping the sedan chair, the bride getting off the sedan chair, making a decision with three arrows, crossing the brazier, riding the saddle, worshiping in the hall, lifting the hijab, drinking a glass of wine, and sending her into the bridal chamber. , just waiting for the flowers and candles in the wedding room.

"Wedding ceremony is done at dusk, so it is called marriage." Day and night alternate, and yin and yang are in harmony. Zhao Yuanli placed wine in the front yard and in two places in the east yard. Zhao Zhen toasted wine at the table. All the heroes and farmers drank wine for a day and dispersed at dusk.

The dealers all resigned, and the eight-chip hero took Zhao Zhen and had another drink before packing up and resting.

Zhao Zhen drank the hangover soup, sat for a while, sobered up, then went to the backyard and entered the bridal chamber.
