Chapter 43 Marrying a Concubine
The next day, Zhao Zhen woke up and went to the east courtyard to practice martial arts. The villagers in the courtyard all set up their postures and followed the other instructors to practice martial arts. The newcomer Tao Zongwang also grabbed a pole. Compete with Han Bolong.
Zhao Zhen practiced the land and water sword skills, but did not see San Ruan coming. He only knew that San Ruan had drunk too much yesterday and was still awake, so he put his mind down and concentrated on practicing martial arts.
After breakfast, Zhusha came to report that three fishing boats were missing from the dock, and he had not finished speaking. Zhao Yuanli led Ruan Xiaoer's son in and said that his father and two uncles had gone fishing in the lake at five o'clock today, saying that they wanted to catch some big fish as a celebration.
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Your father is thoughtful."
With that said, he ordered the boy to fetch two plates of snacks and asked Ruan Liang to take them back and give them to the old lady to try.
Sent Ruan Liang off, Zhao Yuanli said: "Master, now the three books are ready, and I have asked Sun Zhengjiao to write them all. The collection, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, and request period have all been completed. The day is set for the day after tomorrow, the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, which is suitable for collecting, getting married, giving thanks, erecting pillars, opening a business, and praying for blessings.
The Bai family's dowry was delivered early this morning, and there were six large items. Seven small pieces
The six large pieces include a makeup box [with a diamond-patterned bronze mirror, a jade flower-and-bird pattern comb, rouge gouache, a pair of white jade bracelets, two pairs of gold and silver bracelets, a pair of pearl rings, and a white jade ring. Yes, a pair of pearl earrings,], a bed with eight bunks and eight covers, two beds with colorful wenqi quilts, two beds with crimson and wenluo quilts, two beds with jiangluo wenxiu quilts, and two beds of wencai double mandarin duck quilts Bed, sachet, double-layer tent with gauze, big red curtain, embroidered satin bed curtain, colorful satin quilt, mandarin duck pillow], nanmu bookcase [contains "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", "Huang Di Nei Jing", "Huang Di Nei Jing Su" "Question" and "Essential Prescriptions for Emergencies", one volume each], two pairs of camphor wood boxes [containing leather, cotton, clips, singles, yarn and other four-season clothes], at the bottom of the box [18 pieces of porcelain for men and women, "Su Nv Jing" "One volume" and three treasure buckets for descendants [the descendants bucket (toilet), the treasure bucket (water bucket) and the cornucopia (foot basin)]
The seven small pieces have a spittoon, which means that the house is full of children and grandchildren; red.

There are also one box each of the medicinal materials ginseng, salvia, fleece-flower root, and Ganoderma lucidum, and one box each of the spices clove and angelica. "
Zhao Zhen listened and nodded. Zhao Zhen didn't care about the amount of dowry. The Bai family's dowry of medical books and medicinal materials was somewhat new, which was in line with the family of world doctors.
The two of them met again. After chatting about the arrangements, Zhao Yuanli went to work, cleaning the courtyard and decorating it with lanterns.
The Bai family still moved out of Xikua Hospital, and Zhao Yuanli allocated two adjacent courtyards next to the hospital. Four members of Baiduo's family lived in one building, and the other was used as a breeding ground for poisonous snakes. They dug a snake pit, moved all the poisonous vipers in the west courtyard, and arranged for two young people from the village to live here. Also read " "Secret Records of Snake Preparation", he studied Chinese medicine theory with Bai Duo during the day, consulted doctors, and looked after the snake pit at night, feeding medicinal snakes. The Zhong family and his son often came here to help. Among the four, Zhong Mu was the most qualified. He is also more knowledgeable than the young people in the village. He is young, flexible, and can often draw inferences from one case to another. It won't take long for him to be employed as a snake wine bell doctor.
Weddings are all taken care of by Zhao Yuanli and others. Come to help. Zhao Zhen is still practicing martial arts to handle things in the village.
Zhao Zhen made some calculations on his own. In the main world, only by joining the army and performing meritorious service and receiving rewards can he quickly obtain a higher position. The road to recruiting bankers can only be pursued slowly. After all, the main world is relatively stable, and the liquidity of bankers is also small. Without major changes, bankers will not relocate easily. After all, it is the nature of the people to settle down and relocate. It is human nature to be close to each other.
At present, it seems that Luliu Township should be the fiefdom of Gaohu, the pavilion chief. Otherwise, Luliu Township with 3,000 households would not have three elders, Youzhi, Chefu, and Youyou, and one pavilion chief would manage 3,000 households. The Green Willow Township was really unreasonable. At that time, I was only focused on deciding on the land and had not thought of anything here.
This time I return to the main world and I still have to pay a visit. There is a 100-jin carp in the village, and I will take the opportunity to leave a seal and archive it. Since this Luliu Township is the fiefdom of Gaohu, as a direct descendant of the royal family, it cannot be said that it is cheap, and it is best to get more people.
On the contrary, the fantasy world has great potential. The land, population, and heroic soldiers are slowly gathering together. Although it is a little remote, it can be said that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one is there to control it. Practice martial arts every day, eat and drink happily, and slowly advance to the next level. You can live a long life. Now that you have a beautiful concubine in sight, your prospects are better than those in the main world.
The surroundings are foggy, and it is convenient to expand outwards. In Dongxi Village across the river, I have already inquired and found out that only Baozheng Chao Gai took office as a tota warrior and became a fighting hero with some martial arts. The rest are ordinary farmers. Some time ago, a big snake attacked people. Not only was a fishing boat attacked in Xixi Village, but it was even worse, two boats were attacked in Dongxi Village. I asked people to inquire and found out that the current fishermen in Dongxi Village did not dare to go into the water because they did not know about the snake demon. They only made a living by picking up some clams, shrimps and fish by the stream in Dongxi Village. Chao Gai was not good at water, and he was frowning all day long. The county also offered a reward, but no one announced it.
Not counting myself, there are eight heroes of the Ruan family who are good at fighting, including Jiao Ting, Guang Hui, Bao Xu, Han Bolong, and Tao Zongwang. No, there is one more person, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang and Zhao Zhen. Only then did he realize that the first Tiangang character he summoned was Liu Tang, but for some reason he had not arrived yet. Based on this calculation, annexing Dongxi Village should be easy. For now, keep this in mind.
The current fantasy world has accumulated another 53 points of luck through heroes, special products, arms, and land expansion, and Zhao Zhen launched another ordinary summons.
World Log
Consumption of luck 1, a group of lost soldiers heard about it and came soon.
Zhao Zhen looked at the Xiangjun soldiers who prompted him, and they had no names. He simply didn't pay attention to them and just waited for them to be settled. Just find a place to live in advance to facilitate placement.
In the remaining two days, Zhao Zhen and Guang Hui went to Baishi Gang and appointed Tao Zongwang as manager, responsible for digging the harbor branch, building waterways, opening rivers, building roads, building houses, and organizing At the city wall, Tao Zongwang took a night's rest and took the temple drawings. Today, I eagerly recruited this group of villagers who are good at building, and recruited fifty or seventy villagers in the village, and went to Baishi Gang to build the pagoda temple.
On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Zhen looked at the lanterns and colorful decorations inside and outside the house. The courtyard was full of red silk wedding invitations, and it was a festive scene. There were red flowers, red candles, red lanterns, colorful lanterns, floats, and costume dances. New house, new people, new atmosphere, full of joy and joy. On this day, Zhao Zhen also stopped what he was doing and sat in the main hall watching Zhao Yuanli bring in the people who were busy going about their business and just waiting to get married tomorrow.
Just after noon, San Ruan returned by boat and caught 60 golden carps weighing 24 to 5 kilograms and 7 four-tailed carps as a congratulatory gift.
Zhao Zhen saw the tired expressions on the three people's faces and scolded: "We are brothers, why should we rush for a while? With such a good fish, although we are happy, it is not as good as brotherhood. Let's rest early today. Let’s get drunk with my brothers tomorrow.”
When Sanruan saw what Zhao Zhen said so affectionately, they were all happy and went back to their rooms to rest.
On the tenth day of the lunar month, Zhao Zhenzhuang slaughtered sheep and pigs early in the morning. There were also big fish caught by the Ruan brothers, shrimps and frogs caught by Zhusha, and pheasants, hares and deer hunted by the rabbits and Li Ji. , now a big bowl of wine, a big plate of meat, the villagers, men, women, old and young are invited to have a wedding banquet, and the shengxiao is played all day long.
Received the bride in the morning, went through the process of setting off the sedan chair, setting off the sedan chair, getting up the sedan chair, bumping the sedan chair, the bride getting off the sedan chair, three arrows to determine the outcome, crossing the brazier, riding the saddle, worshiping in the hall, lifting the hijab, drinking a glass of wine, and sending her to the bridal chamber. , the process of marrying a concubine has been completed, and it’s just waiting for the wedding ceremony.
"Wedding ceremony is done at dusk, so it is called marriage." Day and night alternate, and yin and yang are in harmony. Zhao Yuanli placed wine in the front yard and in two places in the east yard. Zhao Zhen toasted wine at the table. All the heroes and farmers drank wine for a day and dispersed at dusk.
The dealers all resigned and the bad guy took Zhao Zhen and had another drink before packing up and resting.
Zhao Zhen drank the hangover soup, sat for a while, sobered up, then went to the backyard and entered the bridal chamber.
