My ancient leisure life

"Where's Brother Zhao?" Zhou Yuyi asked a little nervously when he saw his elder brother who went to work with Zhao Wenhao come back, but Zhao Wenhao was nowhere to be seen.

"Brother Zhao can't lose it. He has official business to go to the Yamen." Zhou Yuxuan joked with his younger brother with a smile: "Besides, he still has to decorate our house and wait to marry a newcomer."

"Brother." Zhou Yuyi was teased by him, and gave his elder brother a shameful look.

Xu Nuo and the others laughed at the side in a funny way. Seeing that Zhou Yuyi was shy and ignored his elder brother, he asked, "How is the matter going? Is it going well?"

"Sigh!" Zhou Yuxuan said with emotion: "Brother Zhao is worthy of being a gentleman. He doesn't agree with being so hasty. The wedding date can be arranged as soon as possible in the first month or so, but various etiquettes are indispensable. I don't want to wrong my second brother."

"Then." Xu Nuo blinked, knowing that Zhao Wenhao is now penniless, how should he handle the wedding, "Did he say how to do it?"

"It is said that he asked his wife to come and hire him as a witness, so that no one will say that he lacks etiquette in the future." Zhou Yuxuan said: "Brother Zhao asked us to wait here, and he will arrange everything properly."

Zhao Wenhao really wasn't talking big, he invited a well-known matchmaker from Beijing to visit him the next day, and eight days later his wife and matchmaker came to make an offer, and the dowry surprised them.

36 betrothal gifts, 6000 taels of gift money, a three-entry house in the south city, two shops, and two villages in the suburbs of Beijing. The location is better than that of Zhou Yuyi and the others. Excellent.

Xu Nuo was speechless after seeing it, and roughly estimated that the value should be more than 2 taels.It's not a big deal for Zhao Mansion to take out these things, but it's not easy for Zhao Wenhao as a fourth-rank official.

They had inquired about Zhao Wenhao's betrothal gifts, even before he left Zhao's mansion, they were just these things when he got married, and some of them were not valued by his family and did not meet this standard.

"Promise." Zhou Yuyi looked at the dowry gift list after leaving the offer, and anxiously held his hand and said, "Where did Brother Zhao get these? Doesn't he have money?"

Zhou Yuyi was so anxious that he was about to cry. I'm afraid Zhao Wenhao did something he shouldn't do. He originally discussed with Xu Nuo that he wanted to secretly subsidize Zhao Wenhao with 1000 taels of silver. Why did he suddenly come up with such a valuable dowry?

"Don't worry." Xu Nuo comforted him, "Brother Zhao said it was a gift from an old friend, you have to believe him."

Really stupid people have stupid blessings, Xu Nuo secretly sighed in his heart.It's not that Zhou Yuyi is really stupid, it's just that there is only one sentence in Xu Nuo's mind to describe his mood.

"Then, tell me then." Zhou Yuyi hesitated for a while and said, "Do you still need to get some money for Big Brother Zhao?"

"Hahaha." Xu Nuo laughed unkindly, I never thought that at this moment he was still thinking about giving money to Zhao Wenhao! "No need, Big Brother Zhao heard from me that you want to bring him some money, let me tell you that he doesn't lack these now, just let you stay at home and wait for the marriage."

"Our things are better than these, and there are countless times more, all of which are yours." Cheng Ge heard the promise to be happy for Zhou Yuyi, and Zhao Wenhao tried his best to give the best under this situation, and suddenly said this.

"Of course I know." Xu Nuo rolled his eyes at him and said, "I mean your heart, besides, your heart is no less than anyone else's, even more and heavier."

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Cheng Ge immediately smiled, nodded and promised that he was right.

Xu Nuo turned his head to one side, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth. This guy is getting more and more hypocritical now, and he knows how to express himself, proving that he is much better than others.

Recently, I promised that they are very busy, even if they are married as men, they still need a bride price, and after discussing with Zhao Kai, they don't want to marry at Zhao Kai's place, after all, it's not their home.

Xu Nuo proposed to buy a small house in Jing'an County. Anyway, he can't live there for a few days. After Zhou Yuyi's business is done, it will be left vacant here, so as not to be searched by interested people.

"We're also buying a house here. We can't let too many people know about the things on the mountain. If you don't like living in Kyoto, let's say we come here as a cover." Cheng Ge discussed with Xu Nuo.

"Yeah." Xu Nuo also had the same meaning, "I still want to buy a small house in Kyoto. It doesn't need to be too big for the two of us. Brother Yi can't get married, so let's live in it too. Zhou Yuxuan also wants to live with his younger sister Well, it doesn’t suit where we follow.”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Cheng Ge agreed, and he was not short of money, "If you buy it, don't you want to give Yuyi a generous gift, and spend it as you like."

"Hmph." Xu Nuo hummed twice: "Brother Yi is not short of anything now, we can just give him a cash gift, and another valuable gift to make his life more secure in the future."

Zhou Yuyi's wedding date is set on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there is still half a month before now. When Zhou Yuyi is sent to the sedan chair, he promises that even if he is tired, he will not want to send his relatives off.

"Huh." After much tossing and turning, he finally agreed to sit in the new house with Zhou Yuyi, "I'm back in this house again, and you will get used to living in it in the future."

"Yeah." Zhou Yuyi nodded shyly, "Brother Zhao also said, it's better to use our old house, I won't feel too strange."

"This is very good." Xu Nuo said: "We have bought houses in both Jingdu and Jing'an County, and we can live wherever we want in the future, and we don't have to bother others for anything like last time, borrowing other people's homes .”

"Fortunately, your house is closer to me, only two alleys away." Zhou Yuyi said sadly, "Brother and the others are far away from me. The house he bought near the academy takes half an hour to get here."

"Isn't it a matter of time before you separate?" Xu Nuo said with a smile, "Even your two younger sisters will get married in a few years, why are you so sad?"

Winking at Zhou Yuyi, he said, "It's not enough to have Big Brother Zhao with you, you should be happy now that you can achieve what you want."

"Promise." Zhou Yuyi scolded, "You're still laughing at me, and it's not like you don't know that I used to stay alone in my yard, and now I have you with me, and I scattered things in a blink of an eye."

"I know, I know." Xu promised: "You have to get used to it slowly, we are not far away, we can see each other at any time, and it's not like we have to say any rules when we were at Zhou's house."

"Here you are." Seeing that Zhou Yuyi's eyes were red, Xu Nuo was afraid that he would cry on the big day, so he took out a small box from his bosom and handed it to him, "See if you like it, I specially found it for you as a wedding present."

"Yeah?" Zhou Yuyi opened it, his eyes widened immediately, a pair of egg-sized beads quietly emitting a soft light, he looked at Xu Nuo in disbelief and asked, "Ye Mingzhu!"

"Yeah." Xu Nuo said, "I think you should like it, and with this by your side, you can sleep peacefully for the rest of your life."

This is the backup that he promised to prepare for him, because he and Cheng Ge will not stay in the capital often in the future, and Zhou Yuyi will not have a bad life in this life.

"It's too expensive. It's hard to find." Zhou Yuyi promised to return it, "Where did you get this thing? You can't buy it in the world. You should keep it for yourself."

"I'll take it for you." Xu Nuo leaned into his ear and said, "Brother Cheng got it on the battlefield, and I have this too. You keep it for self-defense."

"I have 68 dowries here, enough for future use." Zhou Yuyi said.

"But your elder brother and the others now have nothing but the two small houses next to his academy and in Jing'an County, the total value of which is only more than 1000 taels of silver. They will have to rely on your help in the future."

Xu Nuo said: "Although the dowry given to you is all earned from your betrothal gift and the clubhouse, can you let them ignore it? Your elder brother is still studying and spending a lot of money, and your two younger sisters need someone to support them. They all need money."

In the palace, the emperor looked coldly at the prince beside him, and asked with a sneer, "On Zhao Shilang's big day, why didn't you ask for a wedding wine?"

The prince's body trembled, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "I'm an eunuch, how can I have the right to drink wine."

"Hmph." The emperor's eyes gradually turned cold, "If you give away a large amount of money, can't you get a glass of wedding wine?"

"Zhen, I really don't understand, just because Wang Gonggong went to the palace to ask for help and was helped by him back then, so he took so much effort, he didn't hesitate to offer so much property to repay his kindness?"

The emperor mocked: "A small child is worth remembering for so many years, so why don't you recognize him?"

"The old slave is dilapidated now, how can a child remember how old he was back then."

Eunuch Wang looked bitter, "So what if I remember? The old slave has nothing to repay. Now that he has been removed from the family tree and separated from the Zhao Mansion, and has no permanent property, the old slave will not be able to repay him even if he dies."

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, staring at him closely. Hearing that it was dilapidated, he couldn't help but glance up and down.

He still has the same thin appearance, with a delicate appearance and a little bit of shyness. Time seems to have forgotten to sculpt his face. He is about the same age as himself, almost 40 years old, but looks like 27 or [-].

Little bits and pieces of the past came back to my mind. The helplessness and humiliation of being suppressed made the emperor's face more and more embarrassing. He shouted angrily: "I don't believe it. If you don't believe it, it's just such a small thing. Say, what is your relationship with the Zhao family? The little Zhao Shilang once was not worthy of your efforts, even pleading for him."

The prince trembled in fright, and lowered his head even more humbly, "Your Majesty, this servant has absolutely nothing to do with the Zhao family. Please check clearly."

"Are you sure you won't say it?" The emperor's tone was threatening.

Wang Gonggong has been with the emperor since he was a child, and he can be said to be one of the people who knows him best. Hearing this, he knows that there are some things that cannot be said, otherwise Zhao Shilang will be angered.

"The servant can live to this day, thanks to Zhao Shilang's help when he was a child."

Wang Gonggong said: "The slave was punished by the queen mother to kneel under the scorching sun for two full days. It was already at the end of the battle. Thanks to Zhao Shilang who passed by, fed the slave with water, and left all the purses and accessories on his body to the slave. The servant was forced into the Xinzheku and was not whipped, so he escaped another life. In addition, the emperor was poisoned when he was not enthroned, and the servant was rescued by the queen mother when he sneaked into the palace to ask for help. It is equivalent to saving the servant several times."

"The reason why this slave has been reluctant to die." Wang Gonggong raised his head and said with tears in his eyes, "One is that he is really reluctant, and the other is that the little servant Zhao took the slave's hand and said that uncle must live a good life. I will give you everything on my body, if you give more gifts to the manager, he will not punish you again."

"How can this old slave forget such childish words, and how can he wish to die with all his heart." The prince choked up, feeling too much sorrow in his heart, but there was not much he could say, even the people in front of him couldn't confide more. Disappointed.

After ten years of suffering and many tortures in Xin Zheku, he tried his best to survive, but he still had a glimmer of hope.

But when he came out and followed him, he was already disheartened at the first glance. It didn't matter whether he was alive or not in the past five years, he just remembered the kindness of Zhao Shilang who had forgotten him long ago.

"You only remember these, and forget everything else?" The emperor clenched his fists, how could he forget if he hadn't forgotten, absolutely not.
