Married a scholar

▍A man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle.

Shangqing Town is not very big, a street, from one end of the street to the other end, is only more than one mile long.

But although the sparrow is small and well-equipped, the shops on both sides of the street can be said to have everything that one expects to find.

Grocery stores, grain and oil stores, teahouses, small restaurants, bun shops, pork stalls, blacksmith shops, etc.

Before entering the town, I heard the lively shouting.

On the market day, there is an endless stream of people entering and leaving the entrances on both sides of Shangqing Town.

The gate of the town was full of ox carts, donkey carts and horse carts.

There is no fee for people to enter the town, but ox carts, donkey carts, horse carts, and even carts pulled by manpower need to pay three papers to enter the town.

Therefore, there is no special reason to enter the town, and generally choose to park the car at the gate of the town.

There are special guards here at the gate of the town, and they only need to pay a penny.Of course, if you don't want to give it, you can watch it yourself.

In the bullock cart, Aunt Zhao and the others got off the cart outside the town, and the village head was going to drive the bullock cart around the town. They didn't enter the town today, but went to Guqu County.

The official road is divided into a herringbone road outside the town, one is to enter Shangqing Town, and the other is to go around Shangqing Town to Guqu County.

Xia Wenze called the village chief, "Si Bo, wait a minute, I'll go into town."

The village chief parked the ox cart beside him and asked, "What are you doing in town?"

Xia Wenze pursed his lips, looked at Meng Yining who was looking over curiously, "Brother Ning's clothes are too thin." The spring was cold, and the wind in the sun was also cold.

He wanted to give him the clothes he was wearing, but found that he was only wearing a slightly thicker one.I couldn't help but feel annoyed that I forgot to remind Ning Geer to add clothes when I went out.

Now I just arrived in town, I can go to the tailor shop to buy a thicker coat for Brother Ning.

The village chief looked at him in surprise, but at the same time he was relieved.What happened to the two people's marriage, the villagers didn't know, but he, the village head, knew it all. He thought about the two of them and was worried about the marriage, but he didn't expect that Boy Ze had a lot of intentions.

Meng Yining didn't expect that this person wanted to buy clothes for himself, so he was a little stunned for a moment. Seeing that he was about to get out of the car, he immediately pulled him back, "You don't need to buy me clothes, ready-made clothes are so expensive, and I'm going to the county seat now." Now, when the time comes, it will be more cost-effective to go to the cloth village in the county seat and go back to the village to find someone to do it. I don’t need to spend more money.” After speaking, Xia Wenze turned his head and said to the village chief, “Sibo, let’s go. Bar."

Meng Yining looked at Xia Wenze who was still a bit reluctant, but his eyes were full of concern, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about me, I'm not cold either."

He really doesn't feel cold, let's not say that the original owner is used to this, let's just talk about him, although the ability hurt his soul because of the self-explosion at that time, resulting in the current level of only two, but this level two ability is enough for him Keep the body temperature down.

Xia Wenze asked worriedly: "Is it not cold?" The body looked thin.

Meng Yining nodded affirmatively, and reached out to hold his hand, "Feel it, am I not cold?"

Although he is not a fire-type power, as long as it is a power, it is a kind of energy. As long as it is used properly, it can also keep itself at a certain temperature like the fire-type power.Although it can't save energy like the fire ability to spontaneously maintain the temperature, in this ancient time, when a little wind and cold can kill, it is obviously better to spend some energy.Was it because the original owner was taken away by a little wind and cold?

Xia Wenze felt the heat of another person's body temperature brought by the joint of his palms, and he couldn't help but clenched his palms tightly.

Meng Yining looked at him with raised eyebrows, Xia Wenze coughed lightly in embarrassment, and wanted to let go, but Meng Yining clasped his hand instead, "I see your hand is cold, hold it, it's warm."

Xia Wenze didn't let go, but turned his head to look elsewhere.Meng Yining couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw the crimson ears.

The scenery in early spring is good, the vegetation on both sides of the road is luxuriant, and every breath is fresh air.

The two kept shaking hands until they reached Guqu County.

The gate of Guqu County was full of people, and there was a long line of people outside the city.

The original owner had never been to Guqu County, and the farthest he had been was Shangqing Town, so Meng Yining looked curiously at the scene in front of him that could only be seen in TV dramas.

The city tower is more than three meters high, and there are city guards on it looking back and forth.The people queuing outside the city were also very quiet, not as noisy as in the TV dramas.

The bullock cart turned to the side, and here, like Shangqing Town, there is a special place to guard the carriages and horses.The entry fee to the city was higher than the entry fee to the town, and here not only the carriages and horses had to pay the entry fee, but people also had to pay a fee ranging from one to two pennies to enter the city.

Those who sell things in the city need to pay two renminbi, and those who do not sell things only need to pay one renminbi.

There are three articles for carts, and five articles for ox carts, donkey carts and horse carts.

Most of the people who entered the city left the ox carts and donkey carts outside the city to take care of them, and only a very small number of people would directly enter the city.Most of the carriages will enter the city.After all, those who can afford horses don't care about the entry fee of five cents.

The village chief didn't intend to drive the ox cart into the city, and directly put someone under guard outside the city.The entrance fee was given by Xia Wenze, three Wen for three people, and the village chief didn't argue with them.

Guqu County is located in the south, so it can be regarded as a relatively wealthy county. Although the current county magistrate can't love the people like a son, he can hardly be regarded as a good official.

The village head took the two of them straight to the place where the yamen registered their household registration.

Today's law stipulates that in addition to registering with the village head and clan, both parties who are married need to be registered with the local yamen. Otherwise, if something happens, they will not be held accountable and will not be protected by the law.

This is also a way of managing population in ancient times.

Therefore, the two not only registered the information with the village chief, but also had to come to the Yamen to register and make a book. After the banquet, they had to go to the Xia Family Ancestral Hall to register Meng Yining's name on the Xia Family Tree.

A booklet fee of ten renminbi is required for registration and bookkeeping.

The booklet is a red book in triplicate, which is a bit like a modern marriage certificate, except that there is no photo.Inside is the detailed information of both parties, except for the specific birth date.

For example, the approximate age, where he lives, whether the man is famous or not, etc., are very detailed.

Brother and sister are a little simpler.

Meng Yining looked at it curiously for a while, then put away the marriage documents of the two, "Leave them here."

Xia Wenze's eyes were full of smiles, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

The village chief smiled and shook his head, "You two have anything else to buy, we will go back if you don't have it." Now it is the time when spring plowing is busy, so I have to go back and plant seeds.

Xia Wenze said, "Go to Chunji Cloth Shop over there to get some cloth." The cloth in the county town is cheaper than the cloth in the town.

Meng Yining didn't expect this person to still think about it.

The village head nodded, and the three of them went to the cloth shop again. Meng Yining stopped Xia Wenze, and went up to buy cloth in two colors, "Shopkeeper, the indigo cloth is the same as the navy blue cloth, give me eight feet."

He originally wanted to buy white, but thinking that Xia Wenze would also be able to work in the fields, he chose the dirt-resistant indigo and navy blue. Xia Wenze looks good in these two colors.

Xia Wenze frowned, "These two colors don't suit you." Although he didn't know much about his brother's clothes, he knew that all brothers in the village like light-colored clothes.

Meng Yining ignored him, and waited for the shopkeeper to pull up the cloth, and asked Xia Wenze to give the money.Sixteen feet of cotton cloth, nineteen cash a foot, a total of three hundred and four cash, the shopkeeper wiped the change of the four cash, Meng Yining sweetly coaxed the shopkeeper to give him some spare cloth that was not in the store.

Xia Wenze pursed his lips and did not speak. Now he could tell that the cloths of these two colors were not for Brother Ning to make clothes for himself, they were all bought for him.

After leaving the cloth village, Meng Yining took Xia Wenze's hand, and when he saw that the person was silent, he scratched his palm with his fingers, and said to him in a good voice: "Don't be angry, I see that your clothes are all ugly. Fortunately, I can wear it when someone changes it later. I will make clothes for you with these two colors of cloth. You don’t always come to towns and counties, so you can’t always wear patched clothes. I don’t go anywhere in the village. , I still have to work, what to do with those new clothes, I have wasted the time before I get it."

He also thought about going to the mountains when he recovered a little. If he was wearing new clothes, he might dress him in a certain way.

Although Xia Wenze's clothes have patches, but there are not many, and the other person is taller than him, changing the clothes for him is just right.

What's more, thinking about the books in that man's study, Meng Yining knew that this man had never given up on studying.Throughout the ages, there are many people ordering dishes.

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles.

Xia Wenze's eyes were a little hot, and he held his breath for a while before suppressing the emotion, "I will make new clothes for me wherever I need them."

"Yes, yes, for the time being? You see, I bought all the cloth, and I don't like those two colors of cloth, but there are a few light-colored clothes in your closet that suit me. When will you buy new cloth to make clothes for me?" Meng Yining tilted her head and smiled coaxingly.

Xia Wenze looked down at him slightly, "Yes." He made up his mind to go to the bookstore to borrow more books to copy, so that he could buy some new cloth for Brother Ning to make clothes.

The two reached a consensus for a short time, so they didn't continue to talk about it.

The village chief was busy going back to work in the fields, and the two of them had nothing to buy, so they left the city and headed home.

When we arrived in the village, it was not yet noon.

After sitting at home for a while, Xia Wenze went into the room and took out three light-colored clothes from his closet. One was ice blue, one was moon white, and the other was ice green. They were all made of good fabrics, and the three clothes only had There are two small patches at the cuffs and hem.

Meng Yining picked it up and flipped through it, then handed back the moon-white one, "Put this away, I can't wear it."

Xia Wenze didn't answer, "Why can't I wear it anymore, and there's not much work at home, so I always wear it when I go out."

Meng Yining raised his head slightly to look at the person, and laughed for a while, "Okay, this one is also changed for me to wear. When I go to the town or the county, I will wear this one." It looks gentle, but it is unexpectedly twisted in some places.
