Chapter 491: What gift to give when the levy is due
Chapter 491: What gift should I give you when I accept the election
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan went to Taohuayuan, and Deputy Jiedushi Zhang went to Taohuayuan.
I don’t know who didn’t know who was the one who kept the door open. In a short while, the news spread like wildfire. Even Xiaobei knew about it. He led the team to find his brother and sister, and he looked very angry if you didn’t take me there.
Wang Juan didn't care about the wine smell of Zhang Xiaobao's forced kiss along the way, so he arranged his younger brother and sister. Then he sat down to Zhang Xiaobao, who was half leaning against the head of the bed, glanced at Zhang Xiaobao and said, "Did you mean to ruin my reputation? The communication is not yet developed, and the news is spread so quickly. If it were us, I guess the other side of the earth would know."
"You can't talk nonsense, how can you ruin your reputation? You can ruin your reputation by yourself. Let's go together, that's romance. Have you seen a few men bring their wives or future wives to brothels?"
Zhang Xiaobao naturally stretched out his hand to hug Wang Juan. Like the little boy in his first love, he wanted to get tired of being together after a while. Who made him experience less in this area?
"Go, if Xiaobei and the others come in, they see that it's time to learn. I think Xiaoyuan always wants to hold Xiaobei when he is sleeping. Don't talk nonsense. Is Taohuayuan a brothel? Is it a simple brothel? It's cleaner than the entertainment industry at that time, and the girl's ability is better. You really don't plan to talk to the royal family? Just be tough to the end?"
Wang Juan pulled a giant panda's pillow and blocked the two of them, and said quietly.
Zhang Xiaobao turned over and pressed it on the wall, and touched it around under the pillow next to him, as if looking for something.
"What do children know? Don't treat children with the thoughts of adults. Don't worry about the royal family. Let them make trouble. Make trouble as soon as possible, and then be honest. Like a volcano, the volcano that erupts is not so dangerous, and I'm afraid of accumulating strength all the time.
As soon as you said that, I suddenly thought that if you pay, we will pay for it. Now Taohuayuan has a great reputation. You should say hello before going there. We have a celebrity effect. As for others, if you say it, your mouth is on others, if you want to say it, you will let them say go.
Wouldn't I be allowed to get close to my wife and have some fun? Maybe tomorrow I'll be happy that I'll take you to find a mountain and sing love songs across the street, who can care? Do you think so?"
"Skewer, as you say, we are also public figures. We should pay attention, especially in terms of morality, and don't let people find faults, especially if you have always been recognized by the Tang people as a very powerful businessman. People know that you have good character. Once something happens to you, it will affect the beliefs of others. What are you looking for?"
Wang Juan held Zhang Xiaobao's hand that was touching.
"Didn't you say there are pictures in your comics? Let me take a look. I have never planned to be someone else's idol, and what I do has nothing to do with bad character. Don't always say that businessmen are not good. Merchants are still worried that consumers will not agree with them and cannot sell them. If you encounter any problems, you have to explain them.
A businessman is disrespectful to virtue, but he is nothing more than a fraud. People like me don’t even care about fraud. But if the official is not qualified, he will stare at his eyes and tell lies, and know in his heart that the people know what he is doing, and he will never admit it. What can you do? The harm will be several generations. Where did you put it? Is it matched with colors? Abstract painting or photo art?"
Zhang Xiaobao failed to find a long time ago, so he stopped and asked Wang Juan to ask for it.
Wang Juan glanced at Zhang Xiaobao helplessly and said, "There is no painting. My mother told me, and the girl from the inner courtyard who got married occasionally mentioned it. Have you noticed that your mind has always been thinking about this recently? Men should put career first. Li Longji said in the morning court that he would hold an autumn examination for you, and I plan to participate, but there is only one top scholar, what should I do?"
Wang Juan originally planned to go back to Jilizhou with Zhang Xiaobao to see how the new crops were growing there. Even if it was Qiuxiao, he would be able to come back as soon as possible. Now he encountered a royal family making trouble, so he naturally couldn't go back. Wouldn't he show weakness when he went back?
Thinking of the imperial examinations when the autumn came, I also participated in it. I don’t know how Li Longji will arrange it, so it can be said that it has a problem for Li Longji.
Zhang Xiaobao said indifferently: "I am a little worse than you, and I am indeed a little worse than you, especially in literary selections, etc. Why should I take the martial arts exam? You are a literary person, a martial person, and nowadays people are stupid and easy to bully.
Come, come over and let me think about that. If you say you agree, won’t I stop thinking about it? I have to wait until the marriage is settled. What’s the difference?”
"The difference is big, the easier it is, the less you know how to cherish it. People are not stupid now, they have less experience and have strong learning ability. Look at so many craftsmen, I can't even participate in the experiments they do now. Let's look at people in finance. As long as you provide them with a little opportunity to learn, they will learn it immediately and learn from one example.
But now is the era of imperial power, the policies are not so relaxed, and you are suppressing them. Otherwise, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty promised to let you see what an economic crisis is. Go, don’t squeeze into me. It’s so hot. Instead of discussing with me, it’s better to urge the people of the Ministry of Rites to make them hurry up."
Wang Juan said something to refuse, but her body did not move. She asked Zhang Xiaobao to hug her, and the corners of her mouth were raised to enjoy the warmth of the moment.
Zhang Xiaobao gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I understand. The easier I get, the less I don't know how to cherish it. I can't let Silla and *** feel so good. I have to rub them and not pay a certain price. I am not in a hurry to let them suffer a big loss."
"You use others as a punching bag again. Who are you? Let's go and have a meal. Next time, drink less wine, just like Li Bai." Wang Juan broke free and stood by the bed waiting for Zhang Xiaobao to come down to have dinner together.
"Li Bai has controlled his drinking, okay? I still have to meet me. I didn't see him. I dragged him. The easier it is, the less he knows to cherish it. Hey? I remembered that Li Xun's old man who has never been married must have come into contact with many women. He has a lot of information. I sent him a telegram, no matter how he wants a picture, I eat light food today, and I've been very popular recently."
Zhang Xiaobao pressed the messy pillow again and said as he got out of bed.
"You want everyone in the world to know that you are ready before you have anything to do with me? Otherwise, I will find you a beautiful maid in the inner courtyard and try it first? It will relieve the fire, so that you will not get sick again."
"It's gone, it's no longer hot. I'll go to Yang Zhongchang's house to check it out in the evening and bring ginseng and other things. Recently, there are many things in the Ministry of Rites, so he needs to take care of himself."
Under Zhang Xiaobao's urging, the Ministry of Rites quickly started to operate, following the civil etiquette, but was guided by the court.
The first thing is Na Cai, that is, to propose marriage. The Zhang family was originally going to find someone by themselves, but now they don’t need to find a matchmaker in his name and went to Wang Juan’s home to tell that at the beginning, he wanted to find a famous person in the capital, but the matter was taken away by Queen Wang.
Queen Wang led her own team from Gong*** to Wang Juan’s house and was a matchmaker. Not to mention that the Zhang and Wang families had already decided that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were a couple. Even if they didn’t know each other at the beginning, they would not dare to object now.
People from the royal family who were still in the *** also suspended their actions for a while.
Among them, Shuiyun and Hongluan also made efforts. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan always believed that Shuiyun, who was psychic, was preparing to have a baby, so they had to get a relationship first so that the baby could fall from the sky without being injured.
Shuiyun and his wife helped catch a pair of living geese, but they did not replace them with birds and geese like others could not catch.
After a trip, the entire capital was sensational. Some were envious, many blessings, and some were whispering. This part was concentrated on the people of the royal family, and the news quickly spread throughout the Tang Dynasty through telegrams.
The information obtained by Li Longji showed that all industries in Luzhou were closed for one day. To celebrate this, 50,000 people gathered on the banks of the Yangtze River in Shuzhou, standing like statues and kneeling down. The merchants from Jiannandao united to hold banquets for the people in different places, let alone Jilizhou, every family set off firecrackers.
In short, as long as the Zhang and Wang families are related to each other, various ceremonies are held. Everyone in Sanshui County even wears new clothes and hangs lanterns in every family.
Finally, it became a matter of saving a penny in the Datang Money House for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan as a blessing money, and then it was transferred to their accounts together.
Merchants from all over the country took action, discounted and reduced prices, and responded to everything from the Yellow River to the south and across the country.
Li Longji deliberately brought up the clan members who had come over to complain before and instructed him behind his back, and threw the information directly in front of them, so that they could see how powerful Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were.
The people of the royal family were rebellious and stirred up the Zhang and Wang families in front of Li Longji. Seeing that Li Longji did not respond, they had to endure it first and look for other opportunities.
Just a Na Cai had already shaken the entire Tang Dynasty, and everyone else was looking forward to what would happen on the day of marriage.
After Nacai, we asked about the name and combined with the birth date and eight characters. This link is simple. Not to mention two births in the same year, month and day, the time is not much different. There is no big problem. Even if there is a problem, we have to find a way to get rid of it.
After two more procedures, it was the coin that Zhang Xiaobao was looking forward to. After this, it was considered an engagement. He could count the stars with Wang Juan. As for the time to get married in the future, it would take a few years to wait. He would not be in a hurry to get married.
Paying coins is to give gifts and betrothal gifts. Now there are troubles. There are many people gathered in the capital, wanting to see what kind of gifts the Zhang family can give to the Wang family.
Before giving the betrothal gift, Zhang Xiaobao started to worry. He didn't want to think about tea or food, so Wang Juan had to come and persuade him personally.
"Xiaobao, eat something, don't lose weight when you count the stars, and don't blame me for kicking you out of bed." Wang Juan deliberately said some love words between the two to let Zhang Xiaobao eat more.
"Eat, eat, what do you think I'll give? You have to set up a show, you can't make you feel wronged. However, I still have to prepare for the show for a while. I realized that the Caokui is so narrow and the road in Chang'an is not wide enough. If I had known that I would spend more money and repair it well, I would have to pay for it myself."
Zhang Xiaobao frowned and stared at his job.
In order to make Zhang Xiaobao eat more, Wang Juan set up a kitchen and made boiled fish. The spicy smell makes you feel appetite, but Zhang Xiaobao still has no appetite.
"What do you want to send me to my house? Tell me out, I will help you to help you help me save yourself from the trouble of being alone. Actually, I don't need too much. Just give you to me. As long as my little baby stands there, he can get half of the country. It is the happiest for me to be able to share your pride."
Wang Juan has become much gentler these days, and she can still cooperate with Zhang Xiaobao to kiss and touch her when she goes to bed at night. She herself doesn't know if every woman will do this at this time. She thinks about the other person all day long, excited, expectant, and a little bit scared.
Zhang Xiaobao took a deep breath, lowered his head and ate it hard, took a few big mouthfuls, stopped, looked up at Wang Juan and said, "I want to give you a thousand sails of brocade boats, a thousand years of beauty, three thousand volumes of medical books, there is no typhoid in spring, ten thousand snow lotus, no flames in summer, a garden of billions of grass, a garden of autumn skirts, like mountains and a state of cotton, and the winter snow wind is hard to call.
As for money and land, there is a bay of lakes on both sides, three mountains surround the Si Shui River, five mountains and towers and six armies gather, seven elite teams of eight camps, nine sunshades, ten days of sunshine, hundreds of miles of carriage frames, thousands of acres of lotus fragrance, thousands of hectares of land, hundreds of boxes of pearls, nine out of ten feet of coral branches, eighty-year-old iron wood flowers bloom, seven silver slabs cast boudoirs, six circles of golden silk, five forests of agarwood, three crystals and two eaves, one heart is still unchanged.”
