Being frightened
"So fast?" Shi Chuan stood up in surprise and asked.
Today is the time for "bride greeting". The daughter of the Shi family was welcomed. Even if Huang's father and mother were present, they could not appear at the banquet - because they were the Huang family, and Shi Chuan married the daughter of the Shi family.
However, Huang's father and mother were unexpectedly quick, and still surprised Shi Chuan. If he came one day late, wouldn't he be able to greet them in the city? It was very rude that the guest came to the door but the owner was not there.
Huang E whispered: "The work that my brother just assigned - let Huabangzi investigate the strangers who penetrated. Those Huabangzi had no clue, and they couldn't help but doubt all those who entered the city... They also discovered Liu Bancheng in Shuyang. He did not fight the ceremonial guards of officials. My father was also Qingyi Jiancong and quietly entered the city. As soon as they entered the city, they were inquiring about the news about Doufu Lane and brother, and they were immediately surrounded by Huabangzi."
"Oh," Shi Chuan suddenly realized: "If Liu Xu and Liu Bancheng accompany him, if there is this local snake, your father's itinerary will be a little faster, which is understandable."
Huang E spread her hands and asked, "What should I do now?"
Shi Chuan did not hesitate: "Let Miss Cui entertain your female relatives on your behalf, and you will lead someone to greet your parents."
Although letting Cui Xiaoqing entertain her female relatives instead of her, it weakened her status as a housewife,... Huang E has always been blindly new job about her brother's idea. She didn't think deeply about it at all. She immediately rushed through a salute and led the servant in a hurry. After she left, Shi Chuan stood up with a smile, and turned away from the toilet and went to the mule and horse shop in Tofu Xishi. Here were Shi Chuan's employees and the slingers who came to congratulate him. He toasted a few glasses of wine, secretly greeted Mu Shun forward, and said dissatisfiedly: "How did you catch Huang E's father? This is a pity..."
Mu Shun was very confused. What is infiltration? This word is too literary. Shi Chuan didn't explain it in detail. He thought about it for a long time before making arrangements. Unexpectedly, something went wrong. Shi Chuan asked, and Mu Shun was thinking about finding an explanation for the words, but Shi Chuan asked again: "You won't make the city messy, right?"
Mu Shun's expression was very awkward... Don't ask, the city was definitely in chaos at this time.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Shideng looked like "The ancients were unreliable to do things", and said earnestly: "Since you have to check for infiltration, you are going to find out the sensitive people who are interested in us and intend to inquire about our news..."
What the hell is wrong, what the Huabangzi checked is these people. If Huang E’s father hadn’t been the news he was wearing when he was asking at the city gate, how could he be surrounded by everyone?
"The ancients all had clear origins and had family backgrounds. We who open the door to do business cannot regard all the guests who enter the door as suspicion. Those who always surround us, have no intention of doing business, but are interested in our news, especially in details, ask about people who are constantly looking for his origins, check the store he introduced to Haizhou..."
Mu Shun continued to maintain an innocent expression, and Shi Chuan felt a sense of powerlessness as he spoke... Such a thing is hard to explain in one sentence or two.
While struggling with how to enlighten Mu Shun, the nineteenth girl from the Shi family, Huanniang ran over with her face bulging, and held Shi Chuan's hand and asked, "Brother, I'm looking for you everywhere... You said, Sister E Niang's parents are here, what should I call me?"
"Go and ask Miss Cui..." Shi Chuan pointed at her laughter and cry. Suddenly, Shi Chuan's inspiration flashed and immediately picked up Huan Niang, smiling like a wolf grandmother, and said, "Huan Niang, you don't eat idle food, right? You wander around the street all day long. Look, your little face is tanned. My brother arranged a new job for you. The wind cannot blow the rain and cannot be wet. How about it?"
Huan Niang was in Shizhang's arms and twisted like a mohua: "Brother, you smile so frighteningly, it must be not a good thing."
"Good thing, well, I'm specializing in investigating people's privacy... Come on, let's whisper about such a private matter..." Shi Chuan led Huan Niang back to her courtyard with a sneaky face...
In the evening, Huang E led her parents and her group into the door, and was always in the door to see off the guests. Huang Dad, Huang Xiang, the magistrate of Shuyang County, Huang Xiang, Huang Hechen, took Huang E's stepmother Wang, and Huang E's "god sisters", and got off the carriage first. Later, Liu Xu, a magistrate of Guangnan West Road, and Liu Yazhi, also got off the car with his newlywed wife.
Liu Xu's luggage was simple. After he helped his wife get out of the car, he stood aside and greeted the Huang family while waiting.
Huang's father was accompanied by Huang E's two younger brothers and four concubines. Huang's father's concubine group was also streamlined at this time. In addition to Wang, Shi Chuan only saw the Xu Niang and the new concubine Xiu Xiu. Aunt Xiu had always been kind to Huang E. She walked out of the carriage with Huang E. The two were jealous, as if they had just cried in the carriage. The other concubine Xu Niang followed the court as usual, and stood beside Wang with her hands, without saying a word with her down on her eyebrows.
Wang still looked arrogant with "only old age but not IQ". She just jumped out of the carriage and saw Shi Chuan saying goodbye to a group of drunken flower braces. She was also bowing to welcome the flower braces who came with Huang Dad's carriages into the house for wine. Wang, who had just eaten flower braces at the city gate, immediately attacked. She pointed at one of the body and couldn't stand firm. She was drunk and bowed to Shi Chuan, raised her eyebrows and said unhappily: "The son-in-law has no good housekeeper at home. E Niang, this is a useless person. Look, they can't come to the door."
Wang is trying to make a move. Huang's father is a mess in the officialdom, and the etiquette in the scene needs to be maintained. He smiled and smoothed out the situation, saying: "What nonsense, son-in-law, just treat neighbors. I am not an outsider. You are a housekeeper and lead the way..."
Huang E frowned, and first wondered: her stepmother is in her thirties, so she shouldn't have even had this wink, right?
She blinked and immediately understood the other party's intention to use his power... Ha, Wang probably didn't know Shi Chuan's reputation, so he actually wanted to act like an elder, hoping that Shi Chuan and her own legitimate daughter could bow to her.
In general, when a daughter gets married, her parents need to support the situation. If the mother-in-law wants to make things difficult for her son-in-law, isn’t it as easy as drinking cold water? Huang E’s parents came to Haizhou this time to confirm the marriage between Huang E and Shideng. Although this is what Huang E thought, Huang E also knew that in fact, she doesn’t care about the cumbersome etiquette when she wears Shideng. If she has sex, she will drink water well. As long as she wears Shideng, her parents will come forward to finalize the appointment letter, etc., it is just icing on the cake.
Without desire, he is strong. Huang E gave a blessing and then replied softly and hard: "The good mom learned that my brother entertained his neighbors today to marry three sisters. My daughter was less educated, but the regular wedding ceremony was so familiar and unceremonious, so don't be surprised by the mother."
Mrs. Wang choked and leaned backwards.
Huang E said that the "formal marriage ceremony" was actually mocking Wang as a stepmother and had not experienced these "formal" procedures. For example, the "bride-welcoming" procedure required the man to send relatives to welcome the bride, and the woman also sent brothers and sisters to send her marriage. When Wang married into the Huang family, Huang E's uncle would never allow his relatives to come forward to welcome Wang's stepmother.
Shi Chuan never interrupted such customs and etiquette. He just copied his hands and looked at Huang E with an encouragement smile. When Huang E saw this look, she was afraid of her. After she finished speaking, she immediately proudly held Shi Chuan's hand and raised her chest at her parents.
When Huang's father saw his daughter's intimate appearance, he was both happy and embarrassed. What was embarrassed was that his wife was ugly. What was happy was that Shi Chuan, the prospective son-in-law, gently cared for his daughter and looked intimate, which made him very satisfied... Although Shi Chuan never proposed marriage in person, he called the other party "son-in-law" by Huang County, and never saw the other party refuse, right?
Feeling that the purpose of this trip would be achieved, Huang's father advised Wang softly at the door: "What are you doing here? Have you not seen your son-in-law greeting guests? We came unfortunately, causing trouble for your son-in-law. Let's go, hurry up and go, and have something to say to you when you enter the yard."
From afar, Liu Xu shook his head gently, sighing in his heart: I really treat myself as a dish. Who is Shi Dalang in Haizhou? His reputation is all made. When I sent us to the capital, I knew that this man was a firecracker and could not be provoked. Now he has something to ask for, but he is still so arrogant... Fortunately, they are Huang E's parents.
Indian butler Nash jumped out and dignifiedly entertained the group. Although he did not understand Song Dynasty, the trained butler style immediately scared Wang... Oh, it turned out that the other party had a butler.
Modern research has found that the dwarf black men in Southeast Asia were basically transported to China as "Kunlun slaves" and then all disappeared in China. This kind of black slave transaction began to appear since the Tang Dynasty. By the time of navigation in the Song Dynasty, there were several black slaves in their homes, which had become the target of competition among wealthy businessmen. The slaves in the Song Dynasty were all hired workers and good men. The black slaves were slaves who could beat and scold them.
The court in the Song Dynasty was also very troubled by the act of wealthy businessmen who liked to serve black slaves. Since the time of Emperor Shenzong, the court issued several imperial edicts, stipulating the service life of slaves. In the mansion, it was pointed out that the act of slaves in Guangzhou and Hangzhou was also within the limits of the edict. However, there were policies and countermeasures under the upper hand. Black slaves did not understand Song Dynasty words, so there must be complaints when they sued. Who would write a complaint to the slaves?
Therefore, although the court explicitly prohibited it, the use of black slaves eventually became an act of "not enlisting the people and not prosecuting the officials". Rich businessmen still compared it, and officials still pretended to be confused. The Indian housekeepers were dark in their skin and were always regarded as a kind of black man... In fact, at least half of the slaves sold by Mahmoud of the Black Khan Empire went to Song State.
Wang also knew that there were housekeepers who were privately kept in the sea merchants. It was rumored that this kind of housekeeper was very well-educated and meticulous in his work. He often fucked all the things he should worry about without the owner's instructions. Such housekeepers, in the capital and under the eyes of the emperor, were hidden in their homes and refused to show them to others. The kind of rich businessmen basically had a net worth of millions of dollars...
