Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Chapter 2498 Ritual System

Master Bai was successfully persuaded, and immediately went to Lao Zhoutou to discuss the matter of borrowing the house for the wedding banquet.

Old Zhoutou has no opinion at all. It is good to have a rehearsal before Manbao and the others get married.

So he answered happily, and took Master Bai's hand and said, "Folks in the village, you're welcome, it just so happens that my family is full of people now, and a few children are also on vacation for the past two days. If you have anything to do, tell them. Do it, you're welcome."

In Qili Village, it was normal to borrow tables, chairs, tableware and chopsticks from each other for a wedding banquet. Occasionally, if the place at home was not big enough, it would be placed on the road. Going to the uncle's house, and if it doesn't work, it will be placed in the neighbor's house. This is a normal operation, and it is within the understanding of Lao Zhoutou.

Especially in a big happy event like high school, the Zhou family can be happy. He can't wait to do it every day. If it works, how many children in his family who are studying will be able to go to high school next year?

With the approval of the old Zhou family, Master Bai immediately took out the money to prepare things.

The high school banquet is different from other wedding banquets. It can be prepared in two or three days. Naturally, we have to take advantage of this festive occasion to hold the banquet, which is why Bai Shan and the others delayed their promotion.

The Feng family obviously meant it too.

And the good days are all the same, so they collided as soon as they picked it up.

But it doesn't matter, people don't go, they can be polite, and they can eat at his house for the first half of the day and go to his house for the second half of the day. As long as they don't go to work, they can catch five games a day.

Zhao Liulang has a wide range of friends. Of course, he also failed to catch up with five games. He made four games, just like the magistrate Tang.

After the lively wedding banquet is over, the princess' marriage can be brought up.

When the Ministry of Rites came to propose marriage, Master Bai was refreshed and immediately brought his two sons to discuss.

The Ministry of Rites chose a good day, and next year's Flower Festival is a good day.

However, Mr. Bai saw with sharp eyes that there was still a day above, the eighth day of the second lunar month, which seemed to be very good, mainly earlier.

The Ministry of Rites said: "This day is set for Princess Changyu. Princess Changyu is older, so Princess Changyu will marry first."

In fact, the emperor wanted his two daughters to get married at the same time during the Huachao Festival, but Wei Zhi refused, and other ministers also objected. They thought it was not in compliance with the regulations. There was no way. The emperor could only take a step back. get married.

Also the work of the front and rear feet.

When the date is set, the Ministry of Rites will take the Bai family to see the Princess Mansion, which will be the place where they will be married. Of course, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry will prepare the contents, but they can also properly listen to the opinions of the Bai family.

The Ministry of Rites also pointed to the next door very intimately and said, "There is Princess Changyu's mansion."

Bai Erlang could imagine that their house would be very lively in the future. He nodded, but he was more interested in Mingda's Princess Mansion. If there were no accidents, he would live here for a long time in the future.

Leaving from the Princess Mansion, Master Bai took his son's hand and said, "Erlang, don't worry, when I get home, I'll go to Changqing Lane to see if there's a yard to buy, and I'll buy you a small yard no matter how expensive it is. , if you quarrel with the princess in the future, go back to your own courtyard."

Bai Erlang: "Father, the houses in the capital are getting more and more expensive. It is Changqing Lane. Now the small yard with two entrances is 3,000 taels. If you feel bad about it, then give me the money."

He said: "If I quarrel with the princess in the future, I can go to Zhou Man's place, and I can go to Bai Shan's place. No, there is big brother. I have more places to go."

Master Bai threw away his hand, "You are already a concubine, how can you be so shabby?"

"It's not shabby, it's saving," Bai Erlang said, "saving is a virtue. I bought a house and I don't live there. Since it's for me to live in, it's not good to rent it out, and I have to put a house there for people. Cooking, it costs a lot."

Mrs. Bai couldn't help being stunned, and then she had a heartache on her face, and tears were about to come out, "My son, how much hardship have you suffered all these years? When did you put money in your heart before? You can spend as much as you have in it, and now it's saved like this..."

Mrs. Bai was heartbroken.

Master Bai: "...that's because it wasn't his money that he spent, and he was arrogant when he was in the village, but is there any place to spend money in Qili Village? Going to a temple fair or going to a market in Dali Village, a string of copper coins will cost you money. Enough for him to become a bully, what is your heart hurting, that's what his nature is."

Bai Erlang: "This is a pure and good character, what's wrong?"

"I think you learned from He Shanbao."

"You said just now that I have such a temperament."

Master Bai raised his hand and beat him, "I'll talk back more and more, I'll tell your husband later, and let your husband beat you."

Bai Erlang stopped talking.

Master Bai acted arbitrarily and waved his hand: "If I say buy it, buy it. We can't afford a big house, can we still afford a small house?"

Bai Erlang was very curious, "Father, the students in our country's Zijian always say that it is not easy to live in the capital, and there are still many students living in the Guozijian or renting a house outside. Is our family so rich? One after another."

Master Bai was a little proud, raised his chin slightly and said, "I don't have much, but it's still possible to buy a yard for you and your eldest brother in the capital alone."

"But our family also has another courtyard in Mianzhou..."

"Hey, those yards are worthless, you can buy a three-entry yard for two or three hundred, and it wasn't bought by your father or me, it was bought by your grandfather..."

In those days, Master Bai moved to Qili Village because of a dispute with people in Mianzhou, where his property and business were targeted.

However, the prefect did not stay for a long time. He was demoted to another office for corruption and bribery within two years of his passing. Later, I heard that he was demoted again and again.

It's just that Master Bai had already lived in Qili Village at that time. Whether it was him or his mother and wife, he felt that life in the countryside was not bad. Except for the inconvenience and boredom, it was more comfortable than in Mianzhou. The villagers in Qili were simple and honest, so he did not. Then move house, really live.

However, although he lives in Qili Village, he has a lot of property.

Not only is he one of the three largest landowners in Luojiang County, well, it's two now.

There are also a lot of fields and shops in Mianzhou. Although he doesn't make a lot of money every year, he hasn't spent much in the past 20 years.

I have been saving money for my children.

It's more than enough to buy two houses.

Not only can he buy a house, but he can also buy other things for his young son as a dowry, oh no, it's a dowry.

On this point, he and Lao Zhoutou have a common language, because when it comes to betrothal gifts, the first thing that comes to his mind is the field.

Since childhood, Mr. Bai, who has been a landlord until now, believes that as long as there is land, there is status, money, and rights, so land is the most necessary.

When preparing a dowry for Bai Erlang, the first thing he thought of was land.

Of course, he didn't just buy it now. Since he went to Beijing, he has inquired around the capital, and also inquired about Yongzhou. Like Lao Zhoutou, he started to buy some suitable fields in batches.

Well, he bought a lot more than Lao Zhoutou.

He divided these land deeds and showed them to Bai Erlang, "If you see it, what kind of house is it? It's not worth much. The real value is these land."

Bai Erlang looked at it with his mouth wide open, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to grab these land deeds and asked, "Father, are these all mine?"

Master Bai patted his hand, "Of course not, half of it belongs to your elder brother."

He said: "The Ministry of Rites has specially instructed us not to prepare too many dowry gifts, saying that it must be in accordance with the ritual system."

Although Master Bai didn't understand why he had to ask for less betrothal gifts when marrying a princess, since the Ministry of Rites had hinted at it, he could only do it.

Hee hee, let me tell you, there is a bug in front of me. After a book friend reminded me, I realized that my time calculation was wrong. I thought that the smallpox occurred in the year when the queen mother died, but it turned out that the smallpox occurred in the second year of the New Year. That Mingda They kept their filial piety until last year's twelfth lunar month, that is, when Manbao and the others came back to Xiazhou from the Western Regions, they did their filial piety.

So I won't write about their filial piety here. I will go back and fix the previous bug in two days. Please forgive me.
