Prehistoric: A steady life, starting from Journey to the West

Do you have any complaints about the Yang family in Qingzhou, the governor of Qingzhou County, and the Hongnong Yang family?

Therefore, the rich and noble families in Qingzhou City can see more clearly, not only hanging red silk lanterns in front of their houses, but also taking money privately on the city walls, and hanging red silk lanterns on the streets.

They are very shrewd, if they can climb the big tree of Qingzhou Yang's family with this small amount of money, it must be worth it.

As a result, almost every household in Qingzhou County was festive, decorated with red silk and red lanterns.

The most important thing is that even so, the Chen family and the Qingzhou Yang family did not spend much money, but made a lot of money instead.

Is it hard to figure it out?

In fact, this is not difficult to understand.

Such as red silk cotton brocade, if it is collected from Qingzhou Prefecture, it will definitely lose money if it is sold at half price.

But if it is purchased in large quantities from Jiangnan or Shuzhong, then the cost must not be so high, let alone sell at half price, even if it is half price, there is still some profit.

The high price of ancient commodities is mostly due to transportation costs.

All kinds of city entry taxes, tariffs, the pumping of green forest heroes, labor transportation costs, time costs, etc. are added together.

It takes at least five or six guans of silk cloth in Jiangnan to pay back its original cost when it is shipped to Qingzhou.

What if people from the Yang family and Chen family in Qingzhou are allowed to purchase in the name of the imperial court?

These costs are negligible.

Don't ask why the procurement cost in the palace and the official procurement cost of the court will be higher.

Because, this kind of people's procurement officials also need to eat. Although there are no various tariffs and green forest heroes pumping water, etc., there are layers of vampires.

In this way, it is no wonder that the procurement cost is not high.

So don't look at the Yang family and Chen family in Qingzhou who decorated the entire Qingzhou county with lanterns and festoons, and the streets and alleys were all hung with red silk.

But they really didn't lose money, but made a lot of money.

If not, where did the Chen family get the money to hold a banquet in Qingzhou County, and entertain the entire Qingzhou City people to eat and drink.

Wool comes from sheep, and it has been so since ancient times.

Of course, those who know these things know it, and those who don't know can't think of the cause and effect if they think hard.

I can only use a shocked and dumbfounded expression, looking at the lights and festoons all over the city, I can't believe the red silk and red lanterns.

For example, at this time, in the sky above Qingzhou County, on a small white jade flying boat, a Chang'an merchant who called himself Lao Li was completely dumbfounded when he saw Qingzhou County in front of him.

"You told me earlier that the Chen family is just a small family in a small county?"

"Is this the financial power that a small county family can have?"

"Or is the scene in front of you all written by Hongnong Yang?"

A certain old Li looked at Qingzhou City, which was almost wrapped in red silk, and was completely stunned. He turned his head and looked at the white-faced butler beside him.

"Your Majesty... no, master, I swear to God, the Chen family is really a small family in Qingyang County, and these must be the work of the Hongnong Yang family."

"Yes, it must be Hongnong Yang's handwriting."

The housekeeper couldn't help being dumbfounded looking at the scene in front of him, he came back to his senses, and immediately replied in an affirmative tone.

Mr. Li, a wealthy businessman from Chang'an city, also nodded in agreement when he heard the words.

He also didn't believe that a small family in a small county could be so rich and make such a big presence.

It's almost the same as the Hongnong Yang family in the top family of the Tang Dynasty.

When a wealthy businessman surnamed Li heard the words, he couldn't help but said sourly: "The Hongnong Yang family is worthy of being a thousand-year-old family with strong financial resources. They are really rich!"

"Let's go, let's go to the city to have a look, Zhen... No, it's the master, I also want to see what is so extraordinary about Chen Qi, that he can marry Hongnong Yang's daughter."

Well, this rich businessman surnamed Li from Chang'an is the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin.

And the white face next to him doesn't need a housekeeper, and he is also the chief steward of the Tang Palace, Wang De.

They who couldn't figure out the twists and turns of the red silk all over the city could only attribute the scene in front of them to Hongnong Yang's wealth.

Of course, it was impossible for Li Shimin to bring his servant Wang De to Qingzhou City alone.

Behind them, there are not only dark guards and Baiqi personal protection, but also the strong priests in the Tang Palace hiding in the dark.

"Hey, the bride and groom have entered the city!"

Li Shimin was about to enter the city with Wang De when he suddenly heard the sound of festive gongs and drums not far away.

The two looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a continuous red wedding party coming from afar on the ground, carrying the flower bridge and dowry, heading towards Qingzhou County, with no end in sight. .

"Master, it seems to be coming from the flying boat docking area in Qingzhou County."

Wang De glanced at the welcoming team on the ground, and said quickly.

Climb high and look far!

At this time, the white jade flying boat that Li Shimin was on was in the clouds, so he could naturally see very far away.

In addition, Li Shimin is not a monarch without the power to restrain a chicken. He also led troops to fight in the north and south in his early years, so his martial arts cultivation is naturally not bad.

However, even so, they still could only see the head of the welcoming team, but not the end of the team.

Look at the welcoming team, whether there are two people or four people, they are all struggling to carry the big red dowry.

Li Shimin couldn't imagine how rich the dowry of the sixth daughter of Hongnong Yang's main line was.

Thinking about the Datang treasury and the inner palace that were almost empty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help feeling sad.

What the hell, these aristocratic families are really too rich.

What depressed him the most was that seeing the marriage of the sixth lady of the Yang family was even more grand than the marriage of his daughter, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Both are not of the same class at all.

This made Li Shimin extremely depressed.

I just feel that I have a disease, pink eye disease!

Li Shimin took a deep breath, forced himself not to look at the welcoming team like a red dragon, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, let's enter the city!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, someone from the royal family manipulated the flying boat and landed it not far from the city of Qingzhou County.

When everyone got off the flying boat, a royal priest wearing a Taoist robe stretched out his hand, and the flying boat about ten meters long shrank rapidly at an unbelievable speed, and finally fell into the Taoist's hands the size of a palm.

"Remember, after entering the city, my identity is Master Li from Chang'an. I only come here to ask for double wedding wine because I have some business dealings with the Yang family."

Before entering the city, in order to prevent his identity from being leaked, Li Shimin reminded him again.

"Master, don't worry, this slave understands!"

Wang De and the others understood in seconds, nodded and bowed immediately.

Isn't it just the set of Weibo private visits, understand!

0 ･･････････････････････････

Seeing this, Master Li couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

After tidying up his clothes a little, he took his caravan steward and caravan guards and walked towards the west gate of Qingzhou.

What, you ask about their goods?

Forehead......

What the hell, why do you have so many problems, people can't use the Mixu Hundred Treasure Bag to transport goods?

Look down on people or what?

Fortunately, the gate guards at the west gate of Qingzhou County didn't ask too many questions. Hearing that Master Li in Chang'an was a guest of the Yang family and the invitation issued by the Yang family, he let him go without saying a word.

And he also kindly told them how to get to the Chen Mansion, so as to prevent them from getting lost when they first arrived.

With the guidance of the city gate guards, Chang'an Master Li and his party soon arrived in front of Chen's residence.

At this moment, two mahogany tables were placed on both sides of the main entrance of the Chen residence, and an old man in a red robe sat behind each table.

Behind the red-robed old man, stood two young servants who were also wearing red festive clothes.

These two old men are the ceremonial room of the Chen Yang family's wedding, and they are also the people who are responsible for recording the gift lists of the guests.

The left side represents the man, and the right side represents the woman.

The two young servants behind them were dedicated to shouting.

That is to say, when a guest comes with the ceremony, the old man will record it, and the young man will call out.

 …

Li Shimin brought the steward and two guards to the gate of the Chen Mansion, thought for a while, then walked to the desk in the ceremony room on the left, handed over the invitation, and then gave the gift prepared in advance to the boy beside him.

The woman's ceremonial room elder first recorded the gift, wrote a red note, and pasted it on the gift.

Then the servant behind him took the gift list and shouted:

"The newlyweds are happy and have a happy marriage. Mr. Li from Chang'an came to say congratulations. He congratulates Miss Yang Liu and Mr. Chen on their happy marriage for a hundred years. Master enters the house..."

After the little servant shouted, the servant of Yang's mansion led Li Shimin and the others into the front yard of Chen's mansion and took their seats.

In fact, there are many twists and turns.

If the gift was too light, the boy would not shout at all, but just ordered the servants to lead it to the seat outside the courtyard.

If the gift is acceptable, it is to invite Master Li to enter the house.

If the gift is acceptable, and the status of the guest is also acceptable, then it is not "invite Mr. Li to enter the mansion", but "invite distinguished guests and guests" to enter the mansion.

To put it bluntly, those who can do the work of welcoming guests depend on their sharp eyesight.

Li Shimin knew something about it, but he didn't care. After all, he didn't think about revealing his identity when he came here this time. He came here for a private visit through Weibo, so it's fine if he can sneak into Chen's house, and he doesn't care about the rest at all.

It's just that Li Shimin is about to follow the servants of the Yang family into the Chen residence.

Wang De at the side suddenly pulled down his sleeve.

Li Shimin was a little confused.

Wang De quietly pointed to the reception room on the opposite side, and then whispered: "Your Majesty, this is Yuan Tiangang from Qin Tianjian, Lord Yuan!"

When Li Shimin heard this, his pupils couldn't help shrinking.

Looking at the opposite side from the corner of the eye, I saw two Taoists enthroned in the ceremony room opposite.

At this moment, he was extremely shocked.

If Yuan Tiangang only came to attend the wedding banquet of the daughter of Minister of the Household Yang Xuan, Li Shimin would not be surprised.

Because the Hongnong Yang family has been passed down for thousands of years, it is normal to have contacts with the Yuan family, the Taoist sect where Yuan Tiangang belongs.

But what is really abnormal is that when Yuan Tiangang attended the wedding banquet, the invitation he took was not from the Yang family of the woman, but from the Chen family of the man.

This means that the relationship between the other party and the man's Chen family is closer.

At the same time, it can also explain that the Chen family where Chen Qi lives is not as simple as it appears, or that Chen Qi is not as simple as it appears.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but look a little ugly, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's go, let's enter the house first!"

Of course, what Li Shimin didn't know was that when he entered Chen's mansion with the servants of Yang's mansion.

The Taoist beside Yuan Tiangang suddenly turned his head and glanced in the direction he left.

The expression is dignified and complicated!Dry.

Chapter 151 Li Shimin's conjecture, the red-bearded dragon god came to express his congratulations! (seeking subscription)

"Flying with each other to pass the bird, and the flowers on the same stems bloom together."

"Daoist Yuan Daoist of Qingyang Palace came to say congratulations. He gave a pair of yin and yang rings, two bottles of Zhuyan pills, two bottles of yin and yang treasure pills, and a pair of Qingling jade bibs. I wish Mr. Chen and Miss Yang Liu a happy wedding and a happy union forever. He Ming, give birth to a precious son early, and invite distinguished guests into the mansion..."

Li Shimin, who had just entered Chen's mansion with the servant of Yang's mansion, heard the little servant singing from behind, and his face became even more ugly.

He didn't know the relationship between Yuan Tiangang and the Chen family, but the wedding gift he gave was definitely not small, and it was not 01:30 better than his Yu Ruyi and Ye Mingzhu.

No, there should be no comparison at all.

Because his Jade Ruyi and Ye Mingzhu are only ordinary things, they are treasures to ordinary people, but they are like gravel and soil to practitioners.

The yin and yang ring pendant and the Qingling Jade Bi sent by Yuan Tiangang are rare treasures even for monks.
