Chapter 22

"Under the post, only the husband follows him, and he will be destined to be despised."

Zhang Jun raised his hand and patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder. The armor was cold and hard. Isn't he really cold?

"In times of troubled times, life is the greatest. Don't think so much, just look at it step by step, you can't be anxious. What we need now is stability, time, and you can't think about anything else for the time being."

Zhang Liang nodded, bowed his hand, and agreed to what Zhang Jun said.

"Master, have you been to the Western Regions?"

"I never had. A young man joined the army and wanted to go to the Western Regions, but he never encountered a chance. Unexpectedly, the Great Protectorate had disappeared back then."

"Are you a military household?"

"Yes, the family's adults passed on the inheritance."

"It's not easy." Zhang Jun habitually wanted to pat Zhang Liang on his shoulder, and he held back in time: "Who else is there in the family?"

"My third brother died in Jiannan West Road. My mother raised me and my younger sister and I adult... My brother first joined the army, but later lost the news. Now, only my wife and my younger sister are with me."

"How old is the little lady?"

“It’s fifteenth this year.”

"Can you start a marriage letter?"

"Never. Mr. Lang?" Zhang Liang looked up at Zhang Jun. Brother, do you like my sister? It's not so casual to ask about other people's female relatives in this era.

Zhang Jun shook his head and waved his hand quickly: "Don't be too careful, you are just a colleague, just care about it. If you don't say it, that's it."

But I think Zhang Liang's family is in a normal state, or not very good. The legal age for a woman to get married is thirteen years old and has not yet married yet, so there is something wrong.

The marriage system in the Tang Dynasty was open and restrained. Women were allowed to divorce and remarry, but they also required that marriages be of equal status and also had a concubine system. Moreover, marriage was arranged by parents, and those who did not follow the same trick. If you don’t obey, you will be beaten to death.

Those who are not well-informed should also be punished, but they will not be beaten to death. Generally, low-ranking households are sentenced to one or two years in prison, and the households are fined.

In the Tang Dynasty, marriages with cousins ​​with the same surname were also prohibited.

However, in this era, poor families buy marriages more often, so they directly discuss business and trade after the price is negotiated. It feels like this should be the prototype of the dowry.

For wealthy families, including dignitaries and nobles, are to marry daughters. They need to prepare a dowry that can make modern father-in-law vomit blood for three dows. Therefore, there are still many old daughters in wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty. I really can't afford to marry.

This beautiful custom was maintained until the Song Dynasty and disappeared with the Southern Song Dynasty. It was really a pity.

"Taiping Guangji", the daughter of the Right Guard General Yi Shen got married, and her brother sold the land in Nanchengzhuang to get a thousand yuan of money for the dowry... It was so terrible to think about it. What a beautiful era and what a harmonious custom.

"Is the family's life record okay now?"

"Mr. Xie Langjun is concerned, everything is still good. A certain qualification is a little mediocre than a brother. He has only been in Guoyi for so many years. Fortunately, he can still take care of all the things at home. He is considered to be a good match for my third brother and brother."

"Don't worry." Zhang Jun patted Zhang Liang's shoulder: "Whether Guoyi or Zhe Chong, Zhang's second brother should stay for my Fengxiang mansion. It's irreplaceable. Let's take it slowly."

"I believe in my husband." Zhang Liang nodded solemnly.

"You and my brother, there is no need to do this." Zhang Jun pinched his right hand on his waist, and his smoking addiction became again. He wondered if there should be tobacco cultivation at this time?

The fact is that tobacco was not introduced until the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It is not without it now. There are large areas everywhere in the Americas.

"Brother Zhang, when Meng Baosan arrives, and with the soldiers returning to the palace one after another, I want to reorganize the troops in our palace. I hope my second brother will help me."

Zhang Jun moved his tongue hard in his mouth. Although his body had original language memory, as a modern person, it still felt uncomfortable to speak so politely.

"But it depends on the orders of the husband." Zhang Liang said that there was no problem and just give the order.

"In my judgment, Zhu Ni and Li Ni cannot last long. The collapse will be within two years of the next year. Our time cannot be considered long.

Although it seems that our mansion is calm for the time being, there are also many internal and external troubles, and all kinds of affairs must be started from scratch. Fortunately, Brother Zhang, you can help me.

Now it is a chaotic world, and military strength is the guarantee of everything. Brother Zhang will have to work hard during this period.

When Brother Li Wu and Liu Shaoyin and I discuss all matters of civil affairs, I will devote myself to the military equipment supervision for a while and ask my second brother for everything in the camp."

"promise."

"As soon as the generals of Meng Bao arrived, the training will begin. The second brother can stay at home for a few more days in the past few days to take a break. I am afraid that there will be no free time for a long time in the future.

I have a plan to write the details of the editing. I will write it tonight. My second brother can come to the three halls at noon tomorrow, and I will explain it in detail to my second brother at that time."

Several personal soldiers came over with a dozen people in chaos. After about ten steps between the two people, everyone dismounted and bowed to the two people to greet them.

"Langjun, wooden craftsman and ironware craftsman bring here."

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Jun nodded and looked at the craftsmen for a few times: "Mu Zuo comes first, the blacksmith goes to the house for a while, and it is windy outside."

The craftsmen took the order, and the personal soldiers took the blacksmith to the newly nailed wooden house to wait. Zhang Jun came over to talk to several carpenters.

Zhang Jun picked up a dead branch and squatted down on the snow to draw: "You should have made bed bench tables. I came to you to make some things. It doesn't have to be too complicated, it's just sturdy and durable."

Several carpenters rolled up their shirts and squatted in front of Zhang Junzhou to watch him draw on the ground.

Zhang Jun didn't know much about carpenters, but fortunately, he didn't have to go too detailed. He just wanted to draw a rough shape and talk about the requirements. These carpenters were famous for being found, so it was not difficult to make things according to the pictures.

"This is a chair, with a face of one foot and five inches high, a back bent later, a back height of four feet, a four-legged foot retracted, and both sides are armrests... This can be done or not, and it will not affect the use.

The chair surface, back, and armrests can be wrapped in animal skins. You won’t feel so hard when you sit on it, and you can also be separated from the cold.

This is a bed, which is six feet and six feet long and six feet wide, and the surface is one foot and five inches high. The head and tail are made of screens, the head and screen are three feet and five inches high, the tail and screen are two feet and five inches long, and four-legged flat screen, and a trunk can be placed under the surface to hold objects.

The bed can be made of brown and hemp hay to keep away from the cold.

This is a table, which is wider than the table, with a flat surface. It is six feet and five inches long, two feet and five inches wide, and two feet and five inches high. The four feet are two inches inwardly. The upper and lower gears are added to maintain stability. Only three gears are added below, so that one side is empty to facilitate the legs.

This is a round table, with four feet inwards, two feet and five inches in height and six feet in width. This table can be equipped with this chair, or you can leave only a square stool on the back of the chair."

Zhang Jun painted the Taishi Chair, which appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty. Because the first person to use it was Qin Hui, it was called the Taishi Chair. This was the improvement of the craftsmen on the Tang Dynasty's circle chairs and it has been passed down to later generations.

The Tang Dynasty was not only invincible in the world with its military force, but also its level of civilization was the only one in the world. All aspects of culture played a significant role in the world. Carpenters were also one of them.

"I wonder, how much does this chair have to measure the width of each face?"

"You can sit there, just put it a little bit, and there is no strict standard. The measurements I mentioned are all places that must be limited, and you can just need to be free of places that need to be limited, and it is better to be comfortable."
