Chapter 44: Fortune and Misfortune

Not long after the Dragon Boat Festival, Luo Yongsheng became busy. It was not for business matters, but the time was the auspicious day for his younger brother Luo Yongjie and Huang Sitong's daughter Huang Ling to get married.

Luo Yongsheng really had no experience in getting married in ancient times. Fortunately, there were many neighbors who knew how to handle this matter. Huang Sitong married his daughter and sent professionals to Luo Yongsheng to help. Although he was busy for a while, he was not in trouble, so that Luo Yongsheng could enjoy it with peace of mind.

The weddings in the Song Dynasty were slightly different from those in the previous Tang Dynasty and even the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the later period, because it is now the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the atmosphere is more open. For example, before the marriage, Luo Yongjie met Huang Ling very often, so the Six Confucian rituals were basically simplified into four rituals in the early Song Dynasty, and even like the territory of Hongzhou, there were only three rituals left.

Luo Yongsheng and Huang Sitong have decided on the matter of Na Cai. It is basically the order of the matchmaker's words. There is only an extra couple who meet in private and are familiar with each other. This is something that was not seen after the feminist rights were imprisoned in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

It was a little more troublesome to collect coins. This was the first time Luo Yongsheng heard that the man’s family offered a betrothal gift and the woman’s family returned a dowry, which would have to be reported to the government for a commission.

"The country has a fixed law, but ordinary people don't have to worry about it. Local township officials are turning a blind eye and pretend that they can't see it. Brother Luo, your family has a great business, and of course you have to keep a record, but you don't have to think too much about it. This is just a normal performance of official duties. I'll make sure that your Luo family Erlang and the Huang family's little girl have officially become relatives. Now neither side can regret it.

If something happens now, or if the woman's family wants to ask for more dowry, and the man's family wants to ask for more dowry, it is a marriage dispute. If such a thing happens, it will be a confiscation. If the party reneges, the party will be punished with a cannon."

After explaining this, Luo Yongsheng is a bit acceptable. Marriage is sacred. There is no reason to temporarily increase money to repent when things happen, it will be a joke.

The fixed law mentioned in Hou San's explanation is the ritual ceremony. Once the fixed employment is formed, a contractual relationship equivalent to a marriage contract is formed in the legal sense. "The woman regrets the blame for the 60th of the rod," "The man regrets the book and does not determine the appointment, and the refusal is released."

Later, he realized that the punishment for releasing was too heavy, so he also changed his scepter to the scepter. In the middle and late Song dynasties, the status of a woman decreased, and the man was impunitive and had no entrusted.

Apart from these things before marriage, other places are not much different from those in later generations. My parents' home will send someone to the man's house in advance to clean up his new house and prepare bedding and other items, commonly known as "shopping". Then these people from the parents' home will stay at the man's house, and the task is to guard the new house and not allow anyone to enter.

The hardwood items such as beds, tables and chairs are provided by the man's house, and the felt mattress, curtains, quilts, and quilts are provided by the woman's house, which is exactly the same as in later generations.

Like the wealthy family of the woman, such as Huang Sitong Family, they also bring some jewelry and put them in the new house as the furniture that the bride uses in the future at her husband's house.

There are many other small places with many details. I won’t go into details here, but what makes Luo Yongsheng feel novel is that on the day of getting married, the bride wore a green wedding dress.

Well, the wedding dress of the Song Dynasty bride turned out to be green.

"It is not inevitable. Red represents joy, and green represents sacredness. It varies from person to person. I hope that all the red robes will be decided by themselves. However, the Tian family will also wear green robes when they get married. The people worship the Tian family, and they will wear green robes when they follow suit."

Feelings are advertisements made by the emperor's family.

The marriage was done smoothly before, but I had some trouble and trouble when planning the church in advance.

Luo Yongsheng revealed his attitude to the outside world, but his family is very powerful. Now that his younger brother is getting married, no one in the high hall looks like.

It was the idea given by Hou San that Dingzhou is more than a thousand miles away from Hongzhou. Moreover, after the two brothers Luo Yongsheng were sent, Luo Yongsheng was in charge of the Hongzhou territory.

Although it was far-fetched, Luo Yongsheng himself didn't understand it. He didn't think there was anything to worry about in this matter, so he agreed directly. Unexpectedly, his casualness in this matter would bring him a huge trouble in the future.

After the wedding, Luo Yongsheng, as the host, certainly had to accompany the guests. Most of the shopkeepers of Hongzhou City came, although the purpose of these people was to ask when the former planned to choose the land and repair the department store.

"Today is the day when Luo's younger brother is happy. Luo has no energy to take care of his affairs. I hope all brothers will forgive me."

When it comes to playing the ball, Luo Yongsheng was still easy to take advantage of and did not respond at all. He just took the lead and made excuses for this matter, but these businessmen would not be willing to let Luo Yongsheng go.

The money has been spent, but I haven't seen the real thing for a long time, so no one is in a hurry.

Since Luo Yongsheng was not here, these people surrounded Hou San to find out.

"Brother Third, you were responsible for investing in Yongsheng Business at first, but now Luo Yongsheng has not taken action for a long time. We are anxious. Are you urging us?"

At this moment, Hou San was drunk and his eyes were blurred. He heard this and said in a daze: "Okay, I'll urge him, that, what are you urging?"

"Oh, it's a matter of urging you to buy land and get on the mall."

Several people jumped in a hurry, but Hou San smiled.

"What a hurry? The manager Luo went to hire a wife in his house today, which means that he had settled a house in our Hongzhou. The monks couldn't run away from the temple. What's the point of being panicked? Let's see that they all have the identity of a senior official, which is too expensive."

"How can I not be anxious? That's all real money and silver." A businessman surnamed Cao was anxious and grabbed Hou San's arm: "I have invested a total of 8,000 guan. The mall has not seen any trace. Isn't this money was wasted? Besides, Brother San, you also invested 10,000 guan..."

At the end, the merchant surnamed Cao stayed because he suddenly realized an extremely terrifying fact.

That is, at the share subscription banquet, Hou San sold more than 30,000 stale money by selling his shares!

"Right, didn't I invested money too? I didn't panic. Lao Cao, why are you panic?"

At this moment, Hou San didn't notice anything strange, and smiled and patted Lao Cao on the shoulder to comfort the latter, but did not notice that Manager Cao lowered his head slightly, his eyes were full of coldness.

There are no fools who can be businessmen, at least the one with the surname Cao is not. He now has a feeling that he has been deceived.

Not only Lao Cao, but also others thought of this after Lao Cao's words.

They are likely to be deceived by Hou San and Luo Yongsheng!

No, there is also a bastard Huang Sitong!

Marriage and marriage to a daughter is the smoke bomb released by Luo Yongsheng, so that they can enter the game with confidence and boldness.

The few people looked at each other and saw the anger in each other's eyes, but they didn't say anything. They stood up and said goodbye, leaving one after another.

Waiting for these people to dissipate, Hou San, who was drunk, looked clear and looked at Luo Yongsheng and whispered: "These people have already become suspicious."

Luo Yongsheng, who was raising his glass to drink, had a smile on his face, and his face remained unchanged. He reached out and patted Hou San's forearm.
