Zhang Yun's ancient life

Two days later, Zhang Yun presented the betrothal gift. The first thing was three pieces of gold, which were gold hairpins, gold chains, and gold earbuckles. Behind them were 5 bolts of gauze and 5 bolts of silk cloth, followed by a box of silver. quality ornaments, and at the end is a full-grown mule.

Although there are not too many things, everything is high-quality goods. In order to prepare these things for Xiaoding and Dali, Zhang Yun has given up everything. He is really a breeze now, but he is happy, especially seeing Guan Jing It was even happier after wearing the jewelry he sent.

After receiving the offer from the Guan family, the two families made an agreement on the date of marriage. In order to avoid Zhang Yun's filial piety, the date of marriage was set in one year. Hearing about this date, Zhang Yun had no objection. He breathed a sigh of relief, he still felt that Guan Jing was a little young, not yet 1, and Zhang Yun would really feel like he was underage if he married her right away.

After finishing what was supposed to be done, Zhang Yun brought two bottles of good wine and came to the front room. The Guan family saw that the prospective son-in-law came to the door, so they naturally wanted to entertain them well. After thirty days of drinking, Zhang Yun stopped his hands chopsticks, while pouring wine for Uncle Guan, he stated the purpose of the trip.

"Uncle, I want to do military service."

Uncle Guan paused for a moment with his chopsticks and asked, "Military service??? Why do you have such an idea?"

"I want to put the household registration in the town."

"Oh, that's right. That's fine. I'll go talk to the head of the village tomorrow."

Going to be a soldier is the way Zhang Yun came up with. Zhang Yun made this choice out of two considerations. The first is household registration. Zhang Yun has no household registration here and is a refugee, so he has to guide him when he travels far away. The Great Yong Dynasty was an extremely troublesome matter. A few days ago, the imperial court conscripted soldiers, and the town was allocated 2 quotas. No one wanted to go. The village chiefs were worrying about this matter. If Zhang Yun is going to serve in the military at this time, The district chiefs should be very happy to register for him.

Another point is for money. In order to encourage people to bravely participate in the war and make military achievements, the Yong Dynasty set up a reward system in the code, that is, officers and soldiers only need to hand in half of the spoils they seized, and the remaining half can be kept by themselves. Coming down, Zhang Yun went for this one.

The next day, Uncle Guan brought Zhang Yun to the house of the acquainted head of the village. After expressing his intention, the head of the village looked at Zhang Yun and asked, "You should still be in the filial piety, right?"

Zhang Yun replied: "Yes, but it has been a full year."

"Oh, that's good, let's do it like this. I'll get your household registration done. When the conscription team arrives in two days, you can go with them."

In the early days of Dayong, the country was not stable, the war was ordinary, and the phenomenon of evading military service was extremely serious. The longest method was to secretly extend the filial piety period. In view of this, the imperial court issued a notice. The content is roughly as follows: The ancient sages once said However, during the period of filial piety, marriages are not allowed, auspicious ceremonies are not granted, bright clothes are not allowed, officials must leave their posts, but they have never said that they are not allowed to join the army. My people in Dayong should do their best for the prosperity of the country, so after one year of filial piety, they can serve in the military. This is to be loyal to the country, not unfilial.

Zhang Yun didn't really care about this, he didn't want to keep this kind of filial piety in the first place, his parents are in good health, so what kind of filial piety should he keep, what an unlucky thing, now it's just what he wants.

Weng and son-in-law have been busy these days, and no one is idle there. Second Aunt Guan has been asking her husband about separating from the long house these days. Second Uncle Guan is ashamed and has never agreed. Today Second Aunt Guan brought up the old matter again, but seeing that her husband still disagreed, she made a fuss.

She sat on the ground and wailed loudly, cursing as she cried: "Good Guan Zhao, you have no conscience. Compared with your place? You think I am willing to be a villain, my father said before his death that the family property must be left to his grandson, and now your elder brother is marrying Guan Jing to such a person, it is clear that he wants to adopt My child, when the time comes when the Guan family’s belongings are given to outsiders, I’ll see how you will explain to dad when you come underground.”

Guan Zhao was afraid that mentioning the separation of the family first would make people laugh, and he was also afraid that his daughter-in-law would get mad and be in a dilemma, so he had to be careful to curry favor and said to his second aunt, "Ever since my eldest brother was kicked out of the ancestral house, he hasn't come back except for his father's funeral. Now, it’s no different from a separation, don’t you think so.”

When Second Aunt Guan heard her husband say that, she immediately jumped up from the ground and said, "That's different. If you don't pass Minglu, it's not considered a separation. I'm talking about it. You think he doesn't want to come back. If he doesn't want to come back He would send things to his ancestral house every time during the festival. If he didn’t want to come back, he would ask someone to talk about it every Spring Festival? If I hadn’t been clever enough to stabilize both father and mother, their family would have returned long ago. Those things left behind will belong to you, hum, go dreaming."

"Isn't it normal to give something to the elders during the holidays? After all, my mother is still there, and my parents are not separated." Uncle Guan said nonchalantly.

"If you don't want to divide the family, then you can wait for the points to be adopted and the grandson will divide the family property later. Then we will all have to go drink the northwest wind. You are killing our mothers. God, open your eyes. This day is impossible."

Second Aunt Guan sat on the ground and started to cry while talking. Second Aunt Guan was so forced that she had no choice but to agree to talk to her mother and the elders of the clan about the separation of the family.
