This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 103
Kaifeng Mansion has always been busy with business affairs, Zhan Zhao slept less and ate less during this time, so he checked all the files accumulated over three months.

There are many small matters that do not need to be handled by Baofu Yin. For example, things like fighting and fighting are generally handled by the headhunters and government servants of Kaifeng Mansion.

Bao Zheng will take over major cases and bizarre murder cases.

After confirming that even though he was not in the Kaifeng mansion, the arresters had done a good job, Zhan Zhao finally got off work. He went to a restaurant not far away and bought lunch. When he was about to finish eating, two people came up from the stairs. , and sat directly beside and across from him.

"Xu Jian is gone, guard Zhan!"

The two clasped their fists at the same time.

Zhan Zhao also cupped his fists and said, "It's been a long time, Brother Ding."

"You still call us Brother Ding, don't you call us Big Brother and Second Brother?" The calmer man laughed: "My little sister's Yuehua Sword is in your hands."

Zhan Zhao was suddenly embarrassed.

Some time ago, Zhan Zhao went to check the two Semu people surnamed Pu. When he passed by Songjiang, he saw a Jianghu daughter setting up a martial arts competition to recruit relatives.

In the end, he found that the woman who was recruiting for a marriage competition caught his eyes, no matter in appearance or figure, and then stood on the stage by a strange coincidence.

When he woke up, the two sides had finished fighting, and even exchanged swords in their hands.

Ding Yuehua took Zhan Zhao's stone sword, and Zhan Zhao now carries the Yuehua sword.

This Yuehua sword is also a sharp weapon of a magic weapon... It's just that it's not well known, after all, Ding Yuehua is a wealthy woman, although her martial arts skills are not bad, but she hardly makes her way into the world, so of course she can't make a name for herself with her weapon.

And Ding Yuehua's two elder brothers are the well-known Ding Shuangxia in Songjiang.

That is, the two who knelt outside Lu Sen's house for a long time more than a year ago, wanting to learn fairy arts.

Seeing his woman's brother approaching the door, Zhan Zhao was naturally embarrassed.

The situation between him and Ding Yuehua is a bit of a private life-long agreement. Although it is said that the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes do not stick to trivial matters, it is also a matter of scoring.

Seeing the two hunky men in front and left staring at him vigorously, as if he was going to do something if he didn't admit it, Zhan Zhao proudly clasped his fists and said, "Big brother, second brother, I'll finish what I'm doing later, and I'll ask someone to go Songjiang said kiss."

"Hahahaha!" Ding Zhaolan laughed happily on the spot. He patted the table, then took out several pieces of paper with big seals from his clothes, and said, "This is the dowry... a big house in the capital, and a big house in the capital. There are a few hundred hectares of fertile land outside the city, take it!"

In the Northern Song Dynasty, when a wealthy family married a daughter, it was a waste of money.

Lu Sen married Yang Jinhua and Bilian, which directly promoted from "poor" to "rich family".

Zhan Zhao was stunned immediately: "No, big brother, I haven't asked anyone to marry me yet, and the dowry came too soon."

"If someone else wants to marry my sister, don't think about it without the three books and six courtesy, not enough talent." Ding Zhaolan waved his hand and said: "But Yumao Zhanzhao, a recognized hero, whether it is martial arts, appearance, or character, They are all excellent. It is her blessing that my little sister can win your favor."

Ding Zhaolan who spoke had a happy expression on his face, it didn't look like he was lying.

Ding Zhaohui next to him was also full of joy: "Brother-in-law, you called our brother, and we will recognize this matter. We will go back and report to my little sister, and wait for you to come to Songjiang to pick him up."

It is rare in the world to be a good man, a good match like Zhan Zhao, if he has the opportunity, he will grab it. To a certain extent, these Ding heroes are really thinking about their sister.

After all, the Ding Heroes stood up and were about to leave.

Zhan Zhao also stood up immediately, and said, "Elder brother and second brother, don't rush to leave, at least stay in the capital for a few days, and wait for me to entertain you, little brother."

"Go back early, and let the little girl feel at ease." Ding Zhaolan waved his hand.

"Then at least wait until tomorrow." Zhan Zhao said: "Tonight, you can watch the shadow puppetry of the fairy family performed by Master Lu. I heard that there will be fairy music playing tomorrow morning, and have fun with the people! Why don't you stay for a day and see what's going on? ?”

Fairy shadow play?
Xianle?

The Ding brothers looked at each other for a while, then nodded at the same time.

"Well, let's stay for a day." Ding Zhaolan cupped his fists and said with a smile, "Then I will trouble my brother-in-law."

Zhan Zhao clasped his fists together: "It should."

At the same time, Zhan Zhao was also relieved, it seemed that the Ding family was quite optimistic about his marriage with Ding Yuehua.

In the following time, Zhan Zhao has been entertaining his two elder brothers, taking them to the Xianjia shadow puppet show, and watching them startled.

Then in the morning of the next day, I listened to the fairy music played by Master Lu... very bright and exciting music.

Warriors like them simply think the music sounds good.

But for the music masters, and those famous girls in brothels, it is an epoch-making and shocking work.

The theory, sense of rhythm, and style of music involved in these music are all gems from other mountains that can bring inspiration and breakthrough to them.

In fact, the music played in the early morning was not shocking to the people in Bianjing City.

After all, the average level of appreciation of literature and art in this era is not high, and the music is not as intuitive as the picture, so Lu Sen's act of broadcasting music only aroused the shock of special people.

For ordinary people, it is the early morning, which is regarded as the "crow of the rooster" to wake up.

When that afternoon came, Lu Sen saw Zhan Zhao in his gazebo.

"What, you asked me to help you talk about marriage proposals?" Lu Sen rubbed his head and said, "Although Xiongfei said that you are getting married, I am very happy for you. However, when it comes to marriage proposals, it is not necessary to ask the elders to help, and You have to know the rules? Although I am a Taoist, I really don't know anything about these things."

Zhan Zhao said with some embarrassment: "There are only two or three elders who can help, and they are busy with other things. You can't let Baofu Yin propose marriage for me."

Indeed... Bao Zheng came all the way to propose marriage?

With Bao Bao's serious face that was almost turning into black charcoal, if an uninformed person sees it, they will definitely think that Bao Zheng led Zhan's guards and went all the way to catch the murderer.

What are you talking about dear?

"I want to help you too, but I really don't understand the rules in this area." Lu Sen said with a wry smile, "I still asked Uncle Zhe to propose marriage to the Yang family."

Zhan Zhao said: "Don't worry, Lu Xiaolang can just sit down then, and I will ask someone to help with other things."

Lu Sen's eyebrows trembled at this time, he stared into Zhan Zhao's eyes for a while, and then said with a smile: "Tell me, what is the reason, I have to let me do it."

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you." Zhan Zhao chuckled helplessly: "Actually, my adults and elders would not allow me to marry a daughter from a Jianghu family. They would only let me marry a noble daughter in the capital, but I don't want that!"

That's it!

No wonder Zhan Zhao wants to help himself.

With Lu Sen's current status and reputation, he is indeed very qualified to propose marriage.

And once the marriage is settled, no one would dare to deny it, whether it's the Ding family or Zhan Zhao's side.

Zhan Zhao and Lu Sen didn't know at this time that the Ding family was also involved in the officialdom.

"That's fine." Lu Sen thought for a while, and agreed: "It's okay to go to Songjiang with you, but I said it before, I only went to make clay sculptures, don't expect me to help you talk, help you do it. What birthday horoscopes and fortune-telling."

Zhan Zhao was overjoyed: "Thank you Lu Xiaolang."

After getting the result he wanted, Zhan Zhao happily chatted with Lu Sen, and then had dinner before leaving.

After Zhan Zhao left, Lu Sen went up to the third floor, while Yang Jinhua sat in his arms, and coquettishly asked, "Can you bring Bilian with you when you go to Songjiang this time?"

Ok?Lu Sen was a little strange: "Aren't you going with me?"

Yang Jinhua shook her head: "It's been less than a year since Bilian and I married into the family, and we've already gone out to play in Hangzhou, and now we're going to Songjiang again. What do you mean? There's often no one watching at home, which will make people laugh."

This is Yang Jinhua's "heroine" spirit at work.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the status of women was very high, and the power possessed by a woman was almost the same as that of a man. If the two parties divorced... when the government decided to divide the property, it would even be more biased towards the woman.

Moreover, it was not uncommon for women in the Northern Song Dynasty to file for divorce.

A typical representative is Empress Dowager Liu.

Therefore, women in the Northern Song Dynasty often manage their homes well, so that men can work and forge ahead without any disturbance outside.

"Xiongfei and I are close friends, and I must help him with his help." Lu Sen patted Yang Jinhua's buttocks: "Don't worry, there is a direct waterway from Bianjing City to Songjiang, and I left the 'Ark' in the Zhao Mansion , and its speed is much faster than ordinary boats. It can be as short as ten days or as long as half a month, and you will definitely be able to come back. So there is no need to take Bilian, why not let her stay with you at home?"

"The official is very feminine, and it will be more convenient for you to be with Bilian." Yang Jinhua said a little shyly, but also a little timidly.

Over the past six months, Yang Jinhua has been 'growing' at an extremely fast speed, especially in terms of men and women.

After all, in "Madam Diplomacy", women often talk about this in private.

For a normal man, after two or three months of marriage, it is not bad to have three or four times in ten days.And my husband tosses people every day, and even tosses two at a time.

Yang Jinhua was not worried about Lu Sen eating wild food outside.

Even if she ate it, she didn't feel anything wrong, at most she felt a little uncomfortable, and it would get better after a while, after all, that's the way it is now, it's normal for a man to go out and play around.

She was just afraid that if Lu Sen was not careful when eating outside, it would be bad for someone to conceive.

The two bellies in the family have not moved yet, let the outside ones plant seeds first... This is really going to happen, the face of the Lu family, the face of their two wives and concubines, will be gone.

Therefore, women's considerations are always different from men's.

Lu Sen simply thought that Yang Jinhua should be afraid that he would mess around, but he still didn't intend to let Bi Lian accompany him.

After a few words of persuasion, Yang Jinhua stopped persuading her.Officials don't like it, so she doesn't like talking too much.

A few days later, Lu Sen and Zhan Zhao, together with a group of people who proposed to marry, boarded the 'Ark' and went eastward, drifting in the direction of Songjiang.

Zhan Zhao is very concerned about this matter.This time, the team that helped propose the marriage and was in charge of issuing the marriage certificate was the best and most expensive in the capital. In the eyes of ordinary citizens, it was almost unattainable.

But only in the eyes of ordinary people.

In fact, this group of people is only qualified to be responsible for the marriage negotiations of ordinary people, or some wealthy businessmen.

They can't accept orders from dignitaries.

But with Lu Sen added, the situation is different.

Songjiang is not too far from Bianjing City, and further down the river, the boatmen took turns to steer the boat, and within three days, they arrived at the land of Songjiang.

Then a group of people prepared the betrothal gift, the letter of engagement, etc., and walked to Songjiang Ding's house in a mighty way.

Lu Sen and Zhan Zhao were mixed in the middle of the team.

At this time, Zhan Zhao was smiling slightly, but Lu Sen could feel that he was a little nervous.

"Wipe off your sweat and calm down." Lu Sen said as he walked.

"oh oh!"

Zhan Zhao, who has always been calm, was a little flustered at this time. He took out a handkerchief, wiped it on his forehead for a while, and then squeezed it, turning his left hand over his right, as if he had no place to rest it.

Lu Sen raised his eyebrows, thinking that Zhan Zhao seemed to really like that woman named Ding Yuehua, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.

After all, he is someone who has met even the officials. Under normal circumstances, there is no reason to be so nervous.

The team set off firecrackers as they walked, attracting a large number of idlers and children to follow.

The leading matchmaker threw copper coins angrily, and adults and children competed to snatch them.

This matchmaker looks pretty good, she doesn't have the philistine look of ordinary matchmaker, but has a world-savvy air.

The next appointment will be so lively, telling the world that these two families are upright, and the matchmaker is marrying them, and it is not a personal affair that will be destined for life.

According to Zhan Zhao's thinking, when he arrived at the door of Ding's house, someone would naturally come to greet him.

It's just that when they got to the door of Ding's house, something unexpected happened.

There are indeed quite a few people at this door, but few belong to the Ding family.

And the door of Ding's house was even half closed.

The group of people blocked the door and cursed.

"Ding, your family has the ability to kill my family, but you don't have the ability to come out and confess?" '

"Old thief Ding, your son is cruel and vicious. As the head of the Ding family, why don't you say a few words of justice?" '

'The Ding family, if you don't come out, we're going to slam the door in. '

So when the hired team came to the door, the scene was a bit strange.

The group of people blocking the door of Ding's house looked at the team that appeared out of nowhere very strangely.

As for Zhan Zhao, it's also very strange... Why did he suddenly encounter such a thing when he was hired by himself.

The two parties were stunned for a moment, and then the person on the opposite side shouted first: "Hey, it seems that they are here to propose marriage. The Ding family killed people for no reason, and their hearts are vicious. How dare you even want such a vicious girl? Don't be afraid that she will take away the husband's family in the future." People were killed too."

This is extremely vicious.

Lu Sen frowned, and Zhan Zhao's expression was extremely displeased.

But at this moment, the door of Ding's house suddenly opened, and Ding Zhaolan walked out from inside, angrily said: "Dai's family, today is a good day for our little sister, what's the matter, we will talk about it tomorrow, now retreat quickly, otherwise don't Blame us for being rude."

"Why are you being rude?" The leader of the trouble was a young man in his early 20s, who looked quite mighty: "The good things of your family are good things, but the white things of our family are not big things? If you don't explain things clearly, who will Don't go."

With a wave of his hand, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the front and back of the street, blocking them all at the door.

Zhan Zhao was no longer nervous at this time. He looked around and said, "Lu Xiaolang, something is wrong. These people are not from the Jianghu, but rather like soldiers."

Lu Sen nodded, and he could see it too.

After all, he had served as a military supervisor for a while, and Lu Sen could distinguish the temperament of soldiers and Jianghu people.
