The son crosses every night

There is still half a month before the Chinese New Year, and the weather is still very cold, and the water dripping outside the house turns into ice.

Tanghua's elder sister, Gu Qin, is about to get married, and the palace is very lively. Red paper is pasted inside and outside the mansion, and red lanterns are hung up. The servants are beaming with joy because they received an extra month's money. It makes people feel comfortable to look at .

There are still elders in the mansion, and Tang Hua can't help much with this kind of important marriage. He spends all day in his yard dealing with official business, and gradually gets a little impatient staying at home, but he has to wait until the elder sister gets married. It's good to mention the matter of going back to Huangzhuang.

Jiang Pingyuan is also busy these days, busy with things in the village, busy with things in the shop, and sees no one all day long.

Tanghua harvested a lot of wool at the beginning of spring. At that time, it was washed, dried and cleaned, and then made into wool. It was all shipped back when Xiangyun yarn was shipped in summer.

According to Tang Hua's plan, after selling the Xiangyun Yarn, he would sell the wool in a shop. However, he was busy with Enkao at that time. After Enkao, he continued to build water conservancy facilities in the village and observe the growth of crops. I really don't have the time to do this.

In particular, wool is more difficult to obtain than he imagined. It is easy to scatter when woven into cloth, and its shrink resistance is not very good.

They don't have any good methods, they only heat and humidify, and then spend manpower and material resources to knead, so that the hair scales on the surface of the wool fibers are opened, and then intertwined and intertwined, gradually shrinking and forming.

It would take a relatively long period of time to deal with it this way, so Tang Hua had to wait for his subordinates to do it slowly, and he took out his hand to do it again.

The final test shows that as long as the wool produced in this way pays attention to the water temperature and washing method, there will be no major problems.

Now that the wool threads are done, it's time to turn them into finished products.

Tanghua thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to sell it as a woolen vest, so that he only needs to weave a few basic yards and doesn't have to think too much.

Vests are also easy to weave. Tang Hua gives priority to supplying them to the two skillful women of Zhuangzi. They can weave one piece in three days if they are familiar with it. .

In the first woolen sweater production, Tanghua only made six colors—light yellow, white, pink, scarlet, black, and brown.

The female model is more pink than the male model. In addition, the female model is relatively small, and the chest position also releases a little margin.

The subordinates worked hard for more than half of autumn and winter, and finally rushed to make more than [-] woolen sweaters, which can be sent to the store for sale.

What Jiang Pingyuan was busy with was launching new clothes.

Tanghua doesn't expect how much money these clothes can earn, but how much he earns, and also gives back to old customers by the way.

After the new sweaters arrived, Tang Hua gave one to each of his family members.

King Jingning was very pleased and moved, so he put it on that day.The sweater is not thick, but once put on, it is obviously warmer. Originally, he just wanted to support his son's business, so he was very surprised to have this effect.

"This woolen sweater is so warm." When he was talking to Tang Hua, King Jingning couldn't help touching the vest on his body again and again, and lowered his head with emotion: "There is the most wool in the frontier, it would be great if they also know how to weave wool into sweaters." gone."

Tang Hua said: "Father, don't worry, I have already given the method of washing the wool to the eldest brother, and it will probably come in handy at this time."

King Jingning looked at his son, lowered his voice and asked quietly: "Where did you get so many ingenious ideas? Is it really a dream?"

Tang Hua nodded meaningfully, "That's true. The masters in the temple also said that I am blessed. Maybe I was enlightened by some immortal Bodhisattva."

King Jingning looked at his son with complicated eyes, and shook his head with emotion, "It's really hard to say what happened to this man. Some people can't think of a way out when they work hard, and some people can get enlightenment by dreaming."

"Look at what you said, it's your son who got the benefit, aren't you happy?"

"It's just a few sighs, how can you be unhappy?" King Jingning patted his arm, "It's done, you are already this big, don't always be like a monkey. You want to start a new business, are you short of money? Do you want your father to give you some?"

"No, I still have one hundred thousand taels in my hand. I said last time that I would give the elder brother a share, but he didn't want it. It's all here with me."

King Jingning nodded, "If you need money, just tell me, and if you need help, you can also tell Father."

If Gu Tanghan heard this, he would be half-dead with anger.

His marriage to the young lady of Jiang Zehou's family has already been decided, and it will be in May next year.

He and You Qianqu were the same as before they got married, but now they still live on the moon silver in the mansion, 30 taels a month, and if they use too much, they will be reprimanded by King Jingning.

Thinking of the 10,000+ or ​​even 10 taels in Tanghua's hands, Gu Tanghan became envious and jealous. He also couldn't understand how his elder brother, who was bullied by him a year ago, had become so powerful in just over a year. , out of reach?

The three sons of the palace, the two in front are very promising, but Gu Tanghan looks more and more dandy under the background of the two. The news that he was beaten up because of the marriage made many people laugh.

Gu Tanghan was still young, and experienced depression for the first time.

Gu Tanghan thought, if he wanted to catch up with his elder brother, he should be helpless.

His talent in martial arts is mediocre, he is not the kind of general who can mount a horse to kill, and return to wine Youwen on horseback.

What made him angry was that Gu Tanghua, who was originally weaker than him, was reborn in just a few months because of the enlightenment in that fairy dream, and he rose rapidly, throwing him eight hundred miles away.

He can't do anything about chasing his second brother.

Gu Tanghan also specially sent his confidants to the Tanghua yard to inquire about news, but Jiang Pingyuan was there, and Lei Xing was also there, and the two people managed Tanghua's yard like an iron barrel, and Gu Tanghan's people were far from being able to break through this line of defense .

Some people will strive to rise up under the blow and make great progress, while others will completely give up and live in peace of mind.

Gu Tanghan belongs to the latter group. He has already resigned himself to his fate, so he plans to wait until the next year to get married and get an errand to do. Anyway, with his father and brother around, he doesn't need to worry about the family.

Tanghua didn't know about his change of mood, but he was relieved to see him finally thinking about it, and glancing at him every now and then when he got the chance.

On the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the whole family got up before dawn.

There are only two male juniors, Tang Hua and Gu Tanghan, in the palace, and one of them has to carry the bride out of the house.

Gu Tanghan originally wanted to take on this errand, but he has been suffering for a while, he is really too thin, his body is not as good as that, and his strength is somewhat lacking.

Seeing him like this, King Jingning said: "On the day when you carry the bride, you have to carry the bride from your eldest sister's yard to the gate of the palace. You go back and practice carrying your maids first, see how far you can carry, and then take turns Just carry it out."

Gu Tanghan puffed up her cheeks. For this kind of thing, if there is a son-in-law in any family, how can it be the turn of the son-in-law?

He moaned and practiced with his maid on his back, and then tragically found that he started to pant within a few steps.

On the day when the bride is really carried, it is not easy to carry a few steps to change people, or the whole palace will be laughed to death by outsiders.

Seeing this, King Jingning had no choice but to hand over the task of carrying the bride to Tang Hua alone.

On that day, Tang Hua got up early in the morning. Today, when the elder sister got married, they all had to tidy up and put on a good spirit so as not to be looked down upon by others.

If not, the eldest sister will marry into someone else's family, and her husband's family will think that there is no one in her natal family, and she will be bullied.

Tanghua wore a brand-new gold-woven dress, her hair was neatly combed, and she tied a gold-woven hairband with rubies on it.

He had breakfast in the courtyard, and then went out to help entertain guests.

Tanghua is now considered a celebrity in the imperial capital. Many people came to attend the wedding banquet specially for his sake. All the princes came, and the emperor, queen mother, and empress all gave gifts. Glory.

King Jingning was at the head, followed by Tanghua and Gu Tanghan to entertain the guests, the princess entertained the female relatives, Gu Ende and Jing Xun were busy in their respective posts, and the servants in the mansion were even more energetic, trying their best to make a proper post. , without a trace of error.

"Grandpa is here to greet the bride—" the official of ceremony who greeted the bride shouted.

King Jingning winked, and Tang Hua and Gu Tanghan immediately went down to the inner courtyard surrounded by their friends to carry the bride.

The bride must not touch the ground with her feet before she gets married, and Tang Hua will carry her all the way out of her yard.

Tanghua's eldest sister, Gu Qin, was sitting on a chair with a red hijab in the morning, and Tanghua went in surrounded by her friends and carried her out, surrounded by lively talking and laughing.

Gu Tanghan looked at Tanghua's thin and thin body, and was quite frightened. He stretched out his hand to protect him, and said quietly: "Be careful, if it really doesn't work, tell me, I'll change it with you."

Tang Hua was amused in his heart, and nodded with a smile in his eyes, "Success."

Gu Tanghan was a little ashamed and annoyed, "Don't underestimate me. Although I am not physically strong, walking a dozen or twenty steps is not a problem."

Tang Hua nodded, "I see."

Gu Tanghan waited for him to walk halfway, and asked himself to change hands. Unexpectedly, after walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, he still walked steadily, without blushing or panting.

Gu Tanghan: ...It's okay if you can't compare with other things, but I didn't expect that you can't compare with physical strength.

Furious!

The highlight of Gu Qin's marriage is that Tang Hua will go out with her on his back. After this link is over, the next thing will be easy to handle, but it's just eating and drinking, and entertaining guests by the way.

There are people from various forces among the visitors, especially the few princes, so you must not take it lightly when entertaining them.

King Jingning took extra care and told his two sons to be careful.

Fortunately, the princes drank a glass of water and wine and left. The fourth prince stayed longer, and before leaving, he even gave Tang Hua a wink, making him so disgusted.

This happy event made Gu Wang's mansion busy from morning to night, and Tang Hua was relieved to see off the last group of guests in the evening.

As soon as he returned to his courtyard, Tang Hua asked for water to bathe and wash his hair.

Rui Zhi persuaded in a low voice: "My lord, why don't you wash it when it's warmer tomorrow at noon? What if you catch a cold after drinking?"

Tang Hua frowned, not knowing what to think of, smiled softly, and said in a low voice: "Mo Duo said, go fetch water."

It's been a long time since I saw him, and he has to go to the appointment at night, so he must not smell like pickled alcohol.
