Chapter 223 Queen (1)
The wedding is not over yet, so I'm early. The next day, the bride wants to worship the day and pay a visit to the mirror on the mirror. This is called the bride's house. After the worship, I will pay homage to the elders and relatives, including Qin Zaixiong. I also have to offer some gifts such as color satin, and the elders also have to return the gift. Then the son-in-law returns to his family, which is called passing the door.
There are also banquets, but it is mainly women, and there are not many, there are only a few more than twenty tables today.
It is mainly due to the cost of the store yesterday.
Song Jiu would not say how much money he used, but there were smart people outside, and Song Jiuli's accounts were published before, either the money he saved in the warehouse in Hezhou was known to everyone. As a result, after calculation, it was found that it was almost 180,000 yuan. The cost of the banquet reached 110,000 yuan. Song Jiu moved 100,000 yuan to pay dividends, but because he used 50,000 yuan to use 50,000 yuan to missed the money he saved in early summer.
It cannot be said that Song Jiu spent more than 180,000 yuan in money, especially Shundian, which is a famous gold-selling cave in the capital and one of the darkest places. The profit is amazing, and nearly 20,000 yuan will be redistributed to Song Jiu. There are also more than 20,000 yuan in gifts and more than 70,000 yuan in gifts from the Pan family. If the eleven twins are included, it will be a dowry of nearly 80,000 yuan.
Song Jiu was a little better, and he still had to use money to take over, and it was not a small amount, but he could transfer it to his hands.
There was a bit of tragic there. The Pan family got the face, but in the blink of an eye, it changed from a Dakang family to a well-off family, almost slipping into a poor family. And it was not finished yet. After the third day of the marriage, the girl's family had to send colorful satin oil and steamed cakes. There was a good symbol of the couple's relationship. This was not much money, but the utensils for the oil and honey. It was already like this, and it could not be a bad end. Therefore, it must be a golden jar. This is called a three-day gift. Then, seven or nine days after the marriage. The son-in-law came to the door to worship the house again. The woman had to hold a large banquet to entertain her new son-in-law. After the gift, the daughter's family was ready to cheer for the son-in-law to go home. Also, the full moon celebration was celebrated, and the son-in-law's family had to hold a banquet, but the mother's family had to give a lot of money gifts.
It was not until this day that my parents didn’t have to accompany the money, and the matchmaker’s mission was successfully completed. The two parties gave another big red envelope. Although there was etiquette in the future, it was a normal exchange between relatives. If you have more money, you should get more, and if you have less money, you should get less.
The problem is that Song Jiu held a banquet in Shun Store. Nine days later, the Pan family's wedding banquet must also be held in Shun Store. This banquet will not be too many, but there are twenty or thirty tables, which are according to Song Jiu's wedding banquet standards, and each table will have 450 ounces of 450 ounces. That day, many dishes were used for a large number of people and the ingredients were insufficient as an excuse to block it. Otherwise, Song Jiu's wedding banquet would have to be added to two or three hundred ounces. What reason should the Pan family find to block it? Therefore, it is only high and not low. But it is not easy to say. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, some ugly dowry fraud has occurred, so the Song Dynasty's laws strictly stipulated. If the husband and wife divorce, the dowry must be returned to the woman.
Pan Lian'er refused to ride a car and wanted to ride a horse with Song Jiu.
Song Jiu looked at Dr. Yan and Dr. Zhang. The two doctors pretended not to see it.
Qin Zaixing laughed: "This is oil and honey, go."
He is a barbarian. It doesn't matter, Song Jiu looked at the two matchmakers again. The matchmaker had a better mentality today. Yesterday, the century wedding asked them to go home and didn't sleep well all night. They thought about it, and one of them said, "Jiulang, today is a day worship ceremony, mainly to worship the elders in your house. There is not much etiquette in your parents' home. You couple get married, it's okay to ride together."
They had hosted many marriages of noble families, and said that it was okay, but it would be fine. The two of them came to the Pan family on horseback.
Pan Mei and his wife are very happy, but Pan Mei is still worried. He is not Shen Yilun, but Wang Quanbin. Although he will make a little profit in the marching and fighting, he will not make too much money. Otherwise, Zhao Pu would not say that he and Cao Bin are good generals. In addition, his family is big and his business is large and his expenses are not small. If he continues to handle this, he must be very nervous.
Pan Mei wanted to be faced, but Song Jiu couldn't say it, so he looked for an opportunity to whisper to Tian, "Mother-in-law, I deliberately put the banquet in the ninth day after the first lunar month. I want to come to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning, and there are more than 10,000 taels of gold and silver in the gift..."
The new son-in-law's New Year greetings in the first year, the gifts brought should not be too shabby. The gifts and the dowry of the Pan family are varied, including some ivory products, some mahogany furniture, but there are also many cloths that cannot be greeted by New Year, which is too cystic. Some gold, silver and jewelry cannot be melted, and it is okay to not be used. In the future, it can be given as gifts to others. Except for jewelry, it will be difficult to estimate, but it will be too loss. However, some people directly give silver ingots and gold seeds, including some cash in the dowry of the Pan family. There are a lot of them, but they have not had time to check them one by one. Song Jiu didn't know how much. The proportion of gold here is small, but it is expensive.
If more than ten thousand yuan is turned into gold and silver, it will only be a few thousand taels. A car will be pulled over. Who knows what it contains?
"How is this good?"
"Mother-in-law, if I marry Lian'er, I will be a family in the future. Why should I share it so clearly? This money is a huge fortune in ordinary families. It is just a number in my hands. Come over and then pass over."
Tian was so amused and crying.
"Mother-in-law, Lian'er is also worried. I discussed with Lian'er on the way. Go back and take a look and get 15,000 yuan of money, mainly gold, but don't tell General Pan, just say you still have money in your hands."
"This is too much." Tian murmured.
I had to stay for dinner. The Pan brothers came to drink one by one, and Lian'er said, "No drink is allowed."
I got drunk yesterday, and the veil was unveiled in the morning, but Pan Lian'er would never say it. After dinner, I chatted with Pan Mei for a while and rode a big black animal Lian'er home. But as soon as I arrived at Yujie Street, I met a broom star. Wang Jixun brought more than a dozen slaves to block Song Jiu. Song Jiu strangled the horse and looked at him coldly. Wang Jixun had many people, and some slaves even wore Park swords on their waists, but Song Jiu didn't believe that so many ordinary people were staring at them. Wang Jixun dared to take action. Even outside the city, he didn't dare to take action. Kill a judge of the Three Divisions. Wang Jixun really didn't know the consequences?
Wang Jixun said: "The little lady of the Pan family, she is so beautiful in this red outfit, but I promise to make you a widow within three years!"
After saying that, he took his family slave and scattered. Pan Lian'er was so angry that her whole body shivered. This was the second day of her wedding, and the two finally became the name of husband and wife. But they were not as good as husband and wife, so they heard this sentence.
Song Jiu looked at Wang Jixun's back and said coldly: "Liang'er, don't worry about him. God will let him die, and he will definitely let him crazy first."
Zhao Kuangyin did make a mistake in this matter. If his brother-in-law killed his slave and offended the common people, the robbery of the relatives would have offended many noble people. Looking at Zhao Kuangyi and the relevant officials, they robbed the daughter of the family in order to embellish these noble people, and they would not announce it. In addition, Zhao Kuangyi's various methods, at least the hearts of many people in the capital are slightly deviating. Also, in the future, Luoyang...
A Wang Jixun is equivalent to Zhao Kuangyin sending Zhao Kuangyi's troops. Song Jiu was angry and was not even prepared to submit an impeachment letter. It would not work if he submitted it.
Then let's take a look.
Pan Lian'er said worriedly again: "Jiulang, you must be careful when you travel in the future. He has no soldiers in his hands, and Shi Hanqing has soldiers in his hands."
"Shi Hanqing is smarter than him. Don't worry," said Song Jiu. Even Pan Lian'er. He wished Shi Hanqing was close to Wang Jixun, but this old boy was not fooled. Song Jiu started to spend another expense. He called a few supervisors and gave them 30,000 yuan to ask someone to copy books. Common bookstores can be bought, but most of them are Thirteen Classics and history books. However, many unpopular books have become rare books and are collected by some people. These books will gradually disappear into the long river of history over time.
In fact, some books are very precious, especially some books about natural sciences and technology.
It is unlikely to print. The cost is too high, so you can only copy by hand. Hand-copied books are expensive. You can copy them yourself without paying much. The pen, ink, paper and inkstones don’t cost much. But when others copy, you have to calculate the salary. A book worth about 100,000 words is copied at this time. At this time, copying is slow. From copying to proofreading, it must be small regular script. You can only write five or six thousand words a day, but the speed is not slow. It seems that 30,000 pieces are huge, so you can only copy twenty thousand books. But when you arrive at the academy, the problem will be solved.
When a book comes, students will copy it. If they are practicing small regular script, they can turn into ten or twenty books, and then bind them into books. These orphans will not be lost. They are very important and are the spark of civilization.
Song Jiu also made a request to Zhao Kuangyin, asking the royal family to take out the collected books and let the literati copy them so that these rare orphans can be kept through more channels. He also promised that if he entered the academy in the future, he would copy out several or dozens of books, and would give two copies of each book to the Imperial Academy.
This is an emphasis on education, and Zhao Kuangyin agreed immediately.
Still spending money.
The Pan family wanted to be faced and didn't know how to compensate, so they bought eleven pairs of beautiful twins to pay for marriage. The yamen were moved, so they asked Song Jiu for it. The times were progressing, including twins, and they could not be considered to be really bought. They bought service time. Generally, after five years, they would be free. But within these five years, the master could transfer them to others, go to bed, etc., as long as they did not die, or forced the slave to commit suicide due to harsh treatment. Not only slaves, but also concubines and prostitutes, they were not humans at this time, but a commodity, which could be given to others, or they could be asked for it. Unless they were like Yuping, they received the oral edict from Zhao Kuangyin and his wife, no one dared to move.
Song Jiu was not happy about this, but in this era, he could not object. Therefore, he took the initiative to let these twins find a partner in the school hall. If you don’t find one, you must find one, otherwise I will send you away. In just a few days, nine pairs of beautiful twins were married. It was so expensive. The Pan family bought the twins for seven or eight hundred guan, which was almost the same as the value of the first and first place. But in a blink of an eye, they became the daughter-in-law of the students. And they came from the Song family, and Song Jiu had to get some dowry.
There were two more pairs, who were too young, one was only thirteen years old and the other was only 14 years old. Song Jiu stayed. As well as Pan Lian'er's two maids, Zhu'er and Yun'er. In fact, these two maids came to be given to Song Jiu as concubines, half of the concubine and half of the maids, Song Jiu could not refuse them and sent them to others. Therefore, Song Jiu also advised them to get married, but the two maids disagreed and said that Pan Lian'er had to serve. Song Jiu did not advise him anymore. The academy was still early, and he met every day, and the love was early, so there would be outstanding students who had not been engaged to make them like it. Now that they forced it, it would be unbeautiful.
There are twenty-four maids, and the year has not passed, only six are left.
Normally, it is a New Year greeting on the first day of the New Year, and it is another gift. Song Jiu came over with a car of gifts. Many relatives came to the Pan family. Song Jiu opened some gift boxes, various exquisite fruits and other gifts. He only opened some of them for the guests to watch. The rest was not opened, and there were many more. No one noticed it. Song Jiu asked the servants to carry them to Mrs. Tian's room. The mystery lies in those unopened boxes. Mrs. Tian was determined and took her relatives to Shundian to hold a banquet for her.
The next day, a large group of close friends came over, and many people were envious. They all imagined Pan Lian'er getting married like this, but this was unrealistic, so they clamored Pan Lian'er to treat her, that is, to go to the amusement park to have fun, or to buy some snacks. The request was not excessive, but some people asked Pan Lian'er to ask Song Jiu for the key.
The opera house is so beautiful, especially the slightly pinkish red, which makes many women scream after watching it. However, it has not been opened, and the outside is installed and the inside is not installed. In fact, the inside is installed, but it still needs to be debugged for a while. The invited actors have to be rehearsed constantly. They perform poorly, and no matter how beautiful the opera house is decorated, it will not work. But New Year's Day is here, and they stop together. There are only two keys, one in the hands of the manager and the other in Song Jiu's hands. They asked Pan Lian'er to ask Song Jiu for the keys so that they could go in and visit.
Pan Lian'er hesitated and refused to answer, and she didn't know if she would break Song Jiu's rules.
