Chapter 319 The nectar of his, my poison

Shi Chuan touched his forehead and asked carefully: "After discussing marriage, should we follow other common etiquettes?"

At this time, the custom is to pay attention to the customs of men and women who do not want to meet each other after the marriage, and they have to wait until the wedding to meet again. Shi Chuan asked: Should Huang E follow these etiquettes? If she does not meet again before marriage, who will he leave this matter to?

Huang’s father and mother were still pondering. They came to Haizhou to confirm Huang E’s affairs and had an explanation for Huang E, but they did not want to take Huang E home. After all, they came to Haizhou themselves.

Shi Chuan then said, "Actually, I and E Niang agree with each other, but we don't care about those common etiquettes?"

"How can it be?" Huang's father said unhappily: "The great use of etiquette is to determine human ethics. If the six etiquettes do not reach it, it means to be in harmony. If the rude and compatriots, then 'the one who runs to be a concubine'. Do you treat our E-mother as a concubine?"

Well, Shi Chuan didn't want to fight against the whole world alone, and he replied obediently: "Come on, it's not appropriate to make a big deal between me and E Niang."

Huang Dad agreed with this. If he had to formally prepare a six-legged ceremony, the matchmaker would inevitably ask what happened. Although Huang E and Shidai were all aware of the experience of wearing peach blossoms in Haizhou, they always lost face when writing their wedding letters. This matter was done quietly.

"I brought Mr. Liu Xu, Lord Liu," Huang's father replied: "Our family affairs are not easy to publicize, but Lord Liu knows the details, so there is no need to be a taboo for him. Let him come forward to discuss the ceremony. It would be better if there is a current official on the wedding letter. I have asked Mr. Liu privately about this matter, and he has already agreed. You can discuss it with him yourself. Take advantage of this period and let's privately pass all the six rites."

After all the six rituals, it means that the wedding can be held at any time... It is even individual whether it is to say whether the wedding is held or not. For Huang E, it is a bit hasty. However, she had a peach blossom viewing experience and held a wedding publicly. At that wedding, there were jealous people talking crazy. In order to avoid this form, most of the traffickers these days, even if they were rescued, they would marry far away. Compared to them, Huang E could marry someone who loved her, and Huang's father consciously cared for the eldest daughter.

"The big media is coming, Lord Liu," Wang said, "You will find two more familiar people to come forward to write the rituals... Now all the people of the ** clan will arrive, so I will write the welcome book by the way..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he shouted in the front yard: "Zongzi is here, it's time to write a welcome letter."

A letter of welcome is the document of marrying the bride. It is a document given to the woman by the man when he welcomes the bride through the door.

At this time, Wang was completely like a qualified mother, and Shi Chuan didn't act shy. He said readily: "I will immediately send the gift from Mr. Liu to get the letter of employment from him..."

Shi Chuan's promise made Huang's father feel relieved. Now that he really lives in his son-in-law's house, what else can he think of?

At this time, the front yard urged again, and Huang's father waved his hand: "Son-in-law, go and do your business first, and call Huang E back by the way. I'll give me some advice."

At this time, the ceremony in the front yard had reached its climax. The relatives sent by Lu Da and the other three were writing a book of welcome in a mess. Zong Zi Shican, who had just arrived, was enumerating the book of "welcome". After both parties finished writing, the emcee loudly read the contents of the book of employment, while the guests of the man and the woman compared each other the betrothal gifts and dowry on the book of ceremony...

When Shi Chuan arrived, the hall was filled with noise, and the sounds were rising and falling. The guests were riding on the wine and making noise. In the midst of the noise, Shi Chuan picked up his pens and signed and endorsed the book of appointment, ceremonial book, and the emcee book, and the emcee book, and shouted loudly: "Li Cheng"

As soon as the shouts fell, the servants who had already prepared were in one after another. They removed the remaining mats, replaced them with new dishes, presented new dishes, and started the seat again.

The new banquet is the official wedding banquet for the woman. This banquet was contracted by a well-known hotel in the city. According to the usual luxurious customs of the Song Dynasty, the cups and plates at the banquet were made of silver... What is more luxurious than the usual Song Dynasty banquet was that Shi Yanei happened to send several trucks of colorful glassware in advance, so the silverware and glassware at the banquet were shining brightly, and the light was filled with brilliance.

There are many formal banquet rules, and many dishes served are not edible. They are "watching the plate", which is for viewing. Most of the "watching the plate" in the Song Dynasty were fruit plates and cold dishes. The gap between servants presented these "watching the plates" was actually a time to discuss the qualifications and seating. Because Shiban held a water banquet, the banquet was immediately followed by the front court, so everyone knew their seats, and soon, the men and women were divided into two tables, and everyone settled down.

In the male table, although Shi Can's seniority was low, he was the son of the clan. When he sat down, he put on his head. Later, Huang's father and Liu Xu were also invited out and sat in the guest seat. The same guest was accompanied by Shi Yanei, and his apprentice Ling Fei shuttled through the table, calling guests to eat and drink at any time.

The eight dishes were placed. Now, because Shi Yanei's fishing fleet is very diligent, there are many more things at the "tray" at the Haizhou banquet, such as cold jellyfish, cold stone cauliflower, etc. In addition, there is also a new red dish: honey-stained rose petals.

Shi Chuan picked up a glass of hawthorn wine brewed last year and gave in to Huang's father Liu Xu and Meng County Wei Qian. He and these three happened to be three current officials. Although the grades are a little different, they are officials at least.

After drinking this tour, it was the turn of the merchants in Haizhou to toast. At this time, the chrysanthemum wine and chrysanthemum cakes unique to the Double Ninth Festival were served. The silver cups containing chrysanthemum wine were embossed with chrysanthemum patterns. The steaming chrysanthemum cakes were also placed in the silver plate carved with chrysanthemum patterns. The white and yellow intersected, making the index fingers very excited.

The shopkeeper Huang who stood up to toast did not sit down. He shouted, and several Huang's servants presented a set of tableware made of sixteen-petal chrysanthemum-shaped tableware produced by Jun kiln. Several tea buds floated in the goose yellow tea bowl, making the tea bowl rippling. When he picked up the tea bowl, a stream of tea--Piao Tianwen--long, but Huang's secretly tried the things produced after two years of production based on Shizing's words. He should encourage... Shizing stretched out a finger and reminded: "10%"

Of course, the shopkeeper Huang knew what Shi Chuan was saying. At that time, Huang and Shi Chuan agreed to make new tea to share Shi Chuan's profit. Now Shi Chuan only calls for 10% of the price, so what else can I say? "Of course" Manager Huang agreed readily.

The tax system in the Song Dynasty was "fifteen taxes and one tax". Haizhou had millions of tea taxes every year. As the largest tea merchant in Haizhou, the transaction volume of the Huang family should be around one million guan. A commission of one hundred thousand guan was around one hundred thousand guan. Manager Huang agreed so readily that he couldn't help but wonder if he wanted more, would it be okay?

However, 10% is not bad. Nowadays, the government collects taxes by only one fifteenth, and Shiban costs one tenth of the profit, which is more than the government collects... This is already a robbery of money. Forget it, let the Huang family go.

Shi Chuan picked up the teacup, suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked Shi Can: "Can'er, have the fields planned this year?"

Shi Can immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up and stood in front of the table, bowed and replied: "I know that the clan members have leveled the fields according to their uncle's requirements, and they will plant them when the seeds of spring arrive."

Shi Chuan sighed - how old is this person. After shouldering the responsibility of Zongzi on his shoulders, he becomes old-fashioned and the fun of childhood is gone... However, this way of education also seems to be the requirement of traditional morality for Zongzi, so after sighing, Shi Chuan did not correct Shi Chan's behavior. He then asked: "Have all the tribe members received the food I sent?"

Shi Can bowed his hand in a regular manner and replied with a restrained look: "I worry about my uncle. This year, the capital was drought and the food prices rose outrageously. The clan members were originally worried that the food was not settled this year. The uncle fulfilled the promise at the beginning of the year, and the clan members were very happy."

Shi Yanei interrupted: "Okay, okay, two ships of Kun meat have just arrived at the dock. Oh, this year's drought, the price of grain is high, the price of meat is high, and the sales of Kunpi Kun wax Kun oil is good. My subordinates are hardworking. Now they are familiar with their skills and can catch six or seven Kun fish every month. I am worried about the amount of meat. Xiao Can, let your uncles and brothers go back to inform your uncles and brothers that they drive the carriage to the dock to pull the meat. How much can they pull? I won't charge you a piece of money."

Shi Can hurriedly bowed to Shi Yanei again: "Thank you, Uncle Yanei gives it to us..."

Shi Yanei grinned and interrupted Shi Can: "Don't thank me, Kunyu is full of treasures, but this meat is troublesome. Now my fishermen have started to dry the meat. When firewood burns, you can pull the two ships of meat away, which can be considered as eliminating disasters for me. We are convenient for each other, and no one has to thank anyone."

Shi Shun said: "You can't let the tribe members develop the problem of getting something for nothing - Can'er, go back and tell the tribe members that every three trucks of meat are drawn. He can keep one truck by himself, and another truck with meat is delivered to me, and the remaining truck with meat is delivered to you. In this way, the tribe members can get harvest through labor."

Huang's father heard this and asked, "Is this Kun meat very unpalatable? Why should it be burned as firewood?"

Just then, the servants brought several small charcoal stoves, and iron plates were mounted on them. The meat on the iron plate was squeaking, and the aroma of the sauce and the aroma of the meat filled the whole house.

Shizhan said that the roasted meat from his finger was raised and explained with a smile: "This is Kun meat. This meat has a lot of oil and is more tender than beef. It is slightly sweet and fragrant. My uncle tastes it."

Dad Huang took the knife handed over by the servant, cut a small piece of it to taste, and then put the meat into his mouth. Dad Huang felt a sweet fragrance hit his forehead. The meat was so tender and smooth that it could be swallowed with his tongue. Dad Huang couldn't help but cut another knife. The meat cut just now was small because he was worried that the fish in the sea was fishy and smelly and uncomfortable, so the meat was too small and he swallowed it before he could even chew it out. The second piece was inevitably cut a little bigger, so he needed to drink wine to wash it when swallowing.

After swallowing the piece of meat, Huang's father stretched out his neck and asked in surprise: "It's a waste of things. How can such delicious meat be used as charcoal?"
