iron face man laughing husband

After the imperial decree was read out, these people didn't leave right away. They still had to stay here for two days. The first reason was that the weather was bad, the wind and snow were heavy, and it was inconvenient to travel.

The second is to live here until Xiao Wei and Brother Xi get married.

The wedding date is very close, the tenth day of the winter month.

Anyway, the dowry is ready-made, Xiao Wei's dowry has been prepared, and it is stored separately. When he comes back, he will bring it back and give it to the sixth prince, who will take it back to the emperor.

Xiao Wei was in the camp and made a list of the betrothal gifts he was going to bring back to the sixth prince.

200 taels of gold, 1 taels of silver, [-] horses, and [-] silks and satins.

One gold tea bucket, two silver tea buckets, ten sets of armor, twenty pieces of jade.

A pair of jade ruyis, a set of enamel plates showing the auspiciousness of the dragon and the phoenix, and [-] brand-new copper coins.

This is the dowry gift sent to the emperor.

The imperial court has a dowry regulation for the eldest son to marry, but as for how much makeup the emperor adds to the eldest son in private, it depends on the position of the eldest son in the emperor's mind.

If it is heavy, give more; if it is light, give less.

But the emperor is just such a brother, the dowry given to him is not only given by the court and the royal family, but also given by the emperor alone. A total of 120 carriages are full of dowry, including the carriages that brought the dowry. Brother Xi.

And those people brought by brother Xi are all for him to build a mansion. There are four nuns, four husbands, who take care of him personally, and eight cooks and two cooks. Ouchi guards, five hundred guards.

As well as some coachmen and horsemen, rough envoys, women, etc., there are more than 100 people in the small slippery!

If all the configurations are complete, this population is more than the entire Yushu Village!

Therefore, Brother Xi must build a big house!

"Let's build it on the east side. The east side is safer. The west side is close to the west mountain. There are always wild beasts coming down the mountain." Old Xiao Boss thought very comprehensively: "When the house is built, it will be in a village. Live here!"

"But, why build a house? Our family can live there, and the yard behind the second gate has always lived well." Old Aunt Xiao came to her senses: "Brother Xi, you want to live in Outside? Isn't this...separation?"

When the eldest son of their family came back, he wanted to build a separate courtyard for the general's mansion, and his son-in-law wanted the entire son's mansion. In the end, wouldn't there be an old couple left in their family?

"Auntie, that's not what you said. The imperial court has this rule, but well, rules are dead, but people are alive." Brother Xi was happy: "After we two get married, there must be many people under our command, and we can't live at home. , only a few people are left, responsible for cleaning, cooking and washing clothes, and the others live in our big house. Every day, they take turns guarding our house. We still live together. The big house is for them to live in. As long as It's fine to keep the main courtyard and the main house, and during the holidays, you can also go to our big house to have fun, the place is big, and it can accommodate as many people as you want."

What he said was beautiful, and the old couple felt good after hearing it.

Because of the bad weather, everyone made stewed mutton and beef soup for the guests.

Paste big pancakes, and baked Gaba pan pancakes.

Brother Xiao sat cross-legged on the kang of her mother's house, and ate with brother Xi. On the square Kang table, there were stewed mutton, stewed beef, sauerkraut soup and big pancakes.

"The weather is cold and the snow is so heavy. For the time being, wait here for the snow to stop, and then go to the county to find a place to live. When the wedding date arrives, we will leave after the wedding." Brother Xi said: "Just to make Sixth Brother wronged It's over."

"I think it's pretty good here, let Eunuch Tu and the others go to the county seat, and I'll accompany brother Xi here." The sixth prince said: "It's not good for you to be here alone."

And still live in the home of future in-laws.

"I've lived here for so long." Brother Xi didn't feel bad.

"I didn't give you a marriage before, so you can still say that you lived in a courtier's house. Now that you have been given a marriage, it's not suitable for you to live here." The sixth prince was quite serious: "I heard that the Tie family has a guest house? Move there? Live, get married from the Tie family!"

"Ah?" Brother Xi was dumbfounded.

Brother Xiao was also dumbfounded, and looked at Tieqing.

"Why?" Tie Qing was also a little confused.

How is this any different from turning left hand to right hand?

"This is Lao Xiao's house. The houses in other houses are not as tall as the one in Tie's house. Otherwise, this prince will expropriate the house in Tie's house and turn it into another courtyard?" That's all, speaking of it, the Tie family and the Xiao family are also relatives, and there's no way around it. You can't wait until the house is built next year before getting married, right? Brother Xi can afford to wait, but General Xiao may not be able to wait, he How old are you?"

Speaking of this, everyone laughed, isn't it, Xiao Wei is a man of the third year.

"Oh, yes, go live at my house, and move tomorrow!" Brother Xiao immediately said: "The house should be furnished, even if we open the house and live in another place in the future, then we should stay at home when we get married, right?"

In fact, it is said that the mansion will be opened to live in another place. When the time comes, those followers and servants at home should go and live in the mansion. His elder brother and his wife live in the second courtyard of the house, which is very good.

To put it bluntly, in this place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. As long as Brother Xi is happy and doesn't pursue it, no one will say anything.

Who would come to Yushu Village to look at the prince of the royal family all day long? Does he live in the prince's mansion?

"Our guest house is still empty. It can accommodate thirty or so people, but it's a bit crowded. It's just right for twenty people." Tie Qing said: "The West Kua Courtyard is also free, and it can accommodate No. 30 people first."

Last time it was the guards, this time it was the Sixth Prince and Brother Xi.

After moving out, it's time for the old Xiao's house to decorate a new house!

It's almost mid-October now, Xiao Wei has to come back on the fourth day of the winter month, and get married on the tenth day, if the date is not so close, the home is not far away. The great general in the army cannot leave his post without permission. If he hadn't married the son of the royal family, if it hadn't been for the grasslands in winter, he would never have invaded the border, and he could not leave the barracks and come back to get married.

"I'll go to your house and live in Xikuayuan, let my brother live in your guest house!" The sixth prince immediately made a decision.

"Hey hey..." Brother Xiao laughed happily.

"Why are you smirking?" Brother Xi served him a bowl of sauerkraut soup, which was quite appetizing and relieved the tiredness.

"My guest house is for guests, and Xikua courtyard is for future children." Xiao Geer smirked: "You live in the guest house, you are a distinguished guest; he lives in Xikua courtyard..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Brother Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "My sixth brother just brought a lot of people, and he lives in Xikuayuan, isn't it big?"

The west courtyard of Lao Tie's house is a small courtyard with two entrances, and the main room has three main rooms, which are divided into inside and outside.

There are as many as five wing rooms on both sides, and there is a small courtyard with two entrances behind.

It was Tie Qing who planned to move there when the child was older, so that he would have a place to live when he got married.

As a result, before my children could move in, waves of guests stayed several times.

It used to be guards, but this time even the prince lived in it.

They chatted secretly for a while, but after dinner, they decided to move tomorrow.

Let the sixth prince move to Lao Tie's house first, he can't live with several people in the West Room of Lao Xiao's house, right?

As long as the kang and flue wall are heated up and cleaned, the west courtyard of Tie Qing's family can live in. The bedding is ready-made. Of course, the sixth prince has his own luggage.

Even if it is a prince who has not yet married, many people will follow the sixth prince when he goes out. Fifty people are a simplified number, so they live in Xikuayuan.

Brother Xi also started packing his things, he will move the day after tomorrow.

Move to the guest courtyard of Tie's family to live temporarily, and when she gets married, she will come back to live.

Tie Qing said to Brother Xiao in the evening: "It's a bit deceptive to go all out like this."

"Never mind him!" Brother Xiao pulled the baked potato and said, "We're getting married anyway, so give me that chili sauce, I'll brush some potatoes, it tastes good."

"Swipe this fried sauce, don't use chili, eating chili at night will hurt your stomach." Tie Qing didn't listen to him, gave him fried sauce, brushed it on baked potatoes, and the couple had a midnight snack. After eating two potatoes, I tidied up and went to bed on the kang.

Early the next morning, after waking up and having breakfast, the sixth prince moved to their Xikuan courtyard.

"The place is quite big!" The sixth prince came to Tie's house for the first time, and he was very surprised: "What do you think? It's built like this?"

"When I first came here, there were walls and ditches made in the village, but ah, there were wild beasts coming, and it was close to the west mountain, so the west end of the village always suffered." Tie Qing had a good reason: "The first time I came here In the past two years, some people failed to fix the fence because of laziness, and the whole family was taken away by wild wolves! There is no one alive, which is miserable."

"Really?" The sixth prince's face was not very good when he heard it. He is a nobleman in Tianhuang. The emperor already had a certain amount of power, and his mother and concubine were still alive at that time and could still take care of him.

However, I have never seen such a thing. It is still normal for wild beasts to attack mountain villages.

Even if he was in the wild, he was surrounded by a group of people, not to mention wild animals, even strangers could not get close to his tent.

"Yeah, a few years ago..." Tie Qing stood there with the sixth prince, watching other people move, they don't have to do it, other people can do it, but they stand together and chat, and by the way, they said that they are here in Yushu Village experiences and encounters.

It is true that Xishan is rich in products, and it is also because it is close to Yushu Village, which is relatively unlucky. There are wild boars in spring and autumn, and wild wolves in winter.

The sixth prince was dumbfounded, no one had told him these things, he could never have imagined that this village was so unsafe, fortunately the house of the Tie family was built tall and strong.

"It seems that when I build a house for my younger brother, I must ask the people from the Ministry of Industry to build him a high wall and a strong door panel, just like yours." Six princes Worryingly asked him: "Then have you seen any wild beasts come down the mountain in the past few years?"

"Is there?" Tie Qing touched his chin: "It's not the time yet, but this year's wind and snow are so heavy, and the snow fell so early, there must be wild animals down the mountain, but we have an ice and snow wall here. Nothing to lose in the year."

"It seems that this ice and snow wall is quite effective!" The sixth prince admired Tie Qing's fantastic idea.

In this place in the Northeast, you really need to use your brains to survive the winter safely.

The Sixth Prince moved the house for a long time before the personnel were settled properly. At noon, because of the relationship between eating two meals, there was no cooking, but there was beef soup to drink. The beef soup contained shredded cabbage, sweet potato powder, and shredded dried tofu. Also put a dozen slices of beef.

Although there is no dry food, one person can still eat half full after drinking a large bowl of beef soup.

After he was full, he tidied up and the sixth prince finally settled down. He took someone to see Brother Xi again. Tie Qing invited everyone to his home for a meal at night: "At home, stew a big goose with sauerkraut tonight! Fifty big geese are enough for everyone to eat!"

Fifty big geese with fifty sauerkraut, Xinghua's sister-in-law has been preparing since morning.

Moreover, she kept all the goose feet, and wanted to keep them for Brother Xiao alone, and give them to him as a supper.

If there were not so many people, it is estimated that there would be no way to get so many goose palms out!

"Okay, let's make stewed radish with beef tonight, two dishes." Old Aunt Xiao said: "Steam a few pots of big steamed buns."

In fact, it is the flowering steamed buns of Lianghe noodles.

At the same time, a group of people braved the wind and snow and came to Yushu Village.
