Chapter 020 bride price

If it is according to the traditional habit of the Han people marrying a concubine, Lin Zimo only needs to send someone to accept Lanzhen with a small sedan and carry it in through the side door. Although he is not limited to form, he still has to take care of the face of several parties. Lin Zimo can't make a big deal. After all, he still has to take care of his face and status as his wife Yang Mengqi. He called his housekeeper Mao Yong and told him to find the best matchmaker in the city, and then go to Nalan Jianye to get the bride price.

Lin Zimo, who had lunch, did not go to the north room to take a nap and said, "If there is no accident, there will be a few more people in our family. If you two have anything else to say, just say it all at once.

Chu Hanlu, who loves to talk, has no other meaning in her heart, but simply said bluntly: "I heard that Brother Zimo gave them a lot of betrothal gifts. The total silver together is not more than 10,000 taels of silver, and there must be eight or 9,000 taels of silver. I remember that when I got married, you didn't even give me two catties of chap, so you picked up such a beautiful girl as a flower for nothing. After thinking about it, I really think it's not worth it. After all, I haven't even taken a sedan chair.

Lin Zimo, who understood that she was talking like children, crossed her hands in front of her chest and smiled, "If you feel that you have suffered a great loss. I can divorce you, give you a bride price that you think is worth it, and marry you back again.

"It sounds good." Chu Hanlu, who flashed his big eyes, was a little moved and said, "Is this really okay?"

"Dead girl, you are starting to talk nonsense again. Such a big event is not a child's family at all. Yang Mengqi, who faces his father-in-law, shook his head slightly and said, "My father-in-law is really good. You also accompany her to play together."

Lin Zimo, who was not serious, continued to joke: "This proposal of Chu girl is really good and very thoughtful. Otherwise, I will also divorce my wife and then marry you with a sedan chair. I remember that I didn't seem to send two catties of chap to your family, so I got you in vain.

"Less poor mouth." Yang Mengqi, who picked up the tea, paid great attention to traditional etiquette and tasted two mouthfuls of tea: " Earlier, the slave family had said that he had no opinion. If the father-in-law thinks a woman is good, just marry her home. However, they can't wear bright red wedding clothes. Of course, if you divorce me, or if the slave family is not in this world, it's up to you.

Lin Zimo, who knows that women pay more attention to form than content, agreed. After all, he still has to follow the rules. Even if he wants to vomit when he sees Yang Mengqi, he can't do whatever he wants. If you want to continue in this era, you have to abide by the rules.

"She can't wear the kind of pink that people wore that day." Chu Hanlu, who sits up straight, has a straight eye.

"Oc, this one is not difficult, I promise you all. Do you have any other objections to the two lovely and beautiful ladies? Lin Zimo, who has a plan in his heart, has discussed with Zhao Wenxuan earlier and wants to send two bride price gifts to the other party.

Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu looked at each other and said with a smile, "No!"

"Let's break up now!" Lin Zimo, who stood up, slowly turned around and walked straight out.

Taking advantage of this rest, he went directly to Zhao Wenxuan's Qianhu. When Zhao Wenxuan saw the arrival of his brother, he did not feel too surprised, but directly cut into the theme. Lin Zimo is another bride price to give to Nalan Jianye, which is to help him annex the weakest Qiang tribe beside him, turning 11 foreign tribes in this area into ten tribes. He came here to hear Zhao Wenxuan talk about the feasibility of this aspect.

Zhao Wenxuan, who has been repeatedly reviewed for a long time, is confident in order to sharpen his sergeants. Lin Zimo, who could see that everything was ready and only owed the east wind, asked him to order people and go with his adoptive brother. Zhao Wenxuan summoned a thousand lieutenant households under his command and ordered him to order 500 people and ask them to bring equipment and weapons. An hour and a half later, they went out of the city.

Lin Zimo saw the deputy Qianhu who took the order and said slowly, "You sent a trustworthy person in the army to take my handwritten letter to the tribe of Nalan Jianye to see him in person, in order to inform him that he can act in advance."

Zhao Wenxuan, who called his trusted messenger, asked him to take a letter written by his brother to Nalan Jianye, and then ordered him to send it as soon as possible without delay. After receiving the general order, he took the handwritten letter written by Lin Zimo with both hands, put it firmly and thoughtfully, and quickly turned around and left to do business.

Lin Zimo, who felt that the departure time was still early, sat down and could take the goal without any suspense. He smiled and said, "Nalan Jianye must be very satisfied with the double gift given to him by my son-in-law!"

Zhao Wenxuan, who also sat down immediately, laughed and said, "He will definitely be satisfied with the dowry given to him by his brother. I was wondering if we gave him such a big gift, but I don't know what he will take as a dowry gift?

"You and I may not like anything other than a steed." Lin Zimo, who knew that he lacked horses, believed that the flat northwest was still conducive to the horse's battle road.

Zhao Wenxuan smiled, and his eyes lit up a lot. Most of my soldiers still focus on step-by-step combat. Although he only has a thousand people, he still advocates attack in his bones. He likes this kind of battle that comes in the wind and goes in the wind, and fights quickly. Zhao Wenxuan, who has a large number of cavalry, hopes to get what he wants.

Chu Erlang, who was fully armed, came in, showing unwillingness in his expression and said solemnly with his fists in his hands, "Two lords, why is there no me in this action?"

Lin Zimo downplayed and wrote lightly: "Your responsibility to stay and defend the city is much more important. Lead your brothers to take good care of our home. It won't take much time for us to go here."

Chu Erlang, who came with emotion, did not take the order happily, but said his inner unhung, "Lord Lin, you always let me stay in a safe place, which must be the reason for my little sister. On the one hand, you don't send me to fight with my brothers, and on the other hand, you keep promoting me, which makes me look down on myself.

Lin Zimo, who didn't agree, quite understood his mood and laughed, "Is it possible that some people say that you rely on the relationship between women's skirts and belts to get this official position of 100 households?"

"That's not it. However, I'm sure someone will talk about me like this behind my back. After all, no one doesn't know that my little sister is your second wife. Although promotion is a pleasant thing, I think I have been promoted too fast. Chu Erlang, who was honest, said honestly, "There must be a reason for my little sister in it."

Seeing that there was no outsider here, Lin Zimo knew that his relative was his own person. He did tell the truth, but he did not want to admit it: "According to your principle, I have completely relied on the relationship from the county magistrate of Zhengjiu to the magistrate of the fourth grade. I don't have any real ability?"

Chu Erlang, who knelt on one knee, hurriedly defended, "It doesn't mean that. I'm just talking about myself. Don't blame the adults."

Lin Zimo, who deliberately twisted the words, pretended to be angry and said, "That's what you mean. Not only do you mean this, but also mean that you blame me for knowing the wrong person, and at the same time, you thousands of adults also use the wrong person. Speaking of which, you make me feel that you are pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, venting that you are not being reused and not giving you the official position of a thousand households.

Chu Erlang, who couldn't tell whether it was true or false, was so scared that he knelt down on his other leg and kowtowed in panic and said, "I don't mean it. The lower official lost his words and hoped that the adult would calm down.

"Then you are still restless." Lin Zimo pretended to have a serious expression and scolded, "If you are told to defend the city, what nonsense?"

Chu Erlang, who really thought he was angry, kowtowed repeatedly and dared not speak again. Zhao Wenxuan, who can see clearly and understands his brother's heart, knows that he will leave a completely trustworthy person in Anhua City to take care of the house. If there is a little trouble in his life, it will be troublesome. Both himself and Lin Zimo will come in person, so it is appropriate to leave Chu Erlang behind. After all, this boy is not willing to spare his strength and life.

Seeing that the effect had come out, Lin Zimo finished the play and said, "Go down and reflect on it first to find out whether you are the chief officer or us. How to arrange and adjust is not your turn to express your opinion. Don't see the wind and rain. If there is another time, it will definitely be served by a military stick. Erlang, you have to believe that you are really good.

Chu Erlang, who stood up quickly, was not afraid of beating, not afraid of death, but afraid of being gossiped by others. He saw that Lin Zimo was angry, so he couldn't stay here and continue to ink hard. With his head down, Chu Erlang slowly retreated, with a face full of bad luck, and slowly tasted that Lin Zimo was right and scolded well. I'm really too inferior.

I think Chu Erlang is a good general. Generals are not afraid of death!" Zhao Wenxuan expressed his own opinion.

"However, he still needs time to hone well, and his mind is still too pure." Lin Zimo said objectively, "In the current situation, he is still not competent enough. He blindly believes in the so-called nonsense that meritorious service will get the corresponding official position. If the reality were really like that, we would not have been sent here to blow the northwest wind.
