Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

Man, it's really complicated.

Once Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Zhang left, Tang Shuan was short of words, and now that he was suffocating, he had nothing to say to Tang Cheng. Not only was he speechless, he didn't even have a good face.

Faced with this unprecedented scene, Tang Cheng could only tidy up the dishes in embarrassment, and went to sleep in the room boredly.

But after such a turmoil, how could Tang Cheng sleep?He was not the only one who couldn't sleep, Tang Shuan next door tossed and turned, squinting awake until the cock crowed twice, Tang Cheng got up after hearing the movement next door.

Tang Shuan still had nothing to say to him, they boiled water to wash, and went out to the entrance of the village in the dark without eating.When they arrived, Gao Li's carriage was already waiting here.

The two maids who came back did not follow, only Mrs. Gao Li and Mrs. Tang and Zhang were in the carriage. As soon as they got up, the carriage rattled away to the outside of the village.

It was still dark when we first got into the car, and slowly the sky gradually brightened, Tang Cheng saw clearly that the old woman and Mrs Gao Li who were sitting opposite were also looking haggard, it seemed that they hadn't slept all night last night.

Because Mrs. Tang and Zhang were sitting beside her, when she saw Tang Cheng looking over, Mrs. Gao could only twitch the corner of her mouth slightly, as a return of his smile.

Tang Shuan and the two did not speak, and Tang Cheng didn't know what to say. The silence in the carriage seemed dull. Slowly, Tang Cheng became tired, and fell asleep at some point along with the shaking carriage.

When he woke up and opened the curtain of the car window, the bright sunlight outside suddenly dazzled his eyes. Looking at the sun and estimating the time, it was already early noon.

Tang Cheng opened the window to let the sun shine in, and the scene he saw when he turned his head almost made him laugh out loud. He saw that the old lady sitting opposite him fell asleep at some point along with the shaking of the carriage. Ben and Gao Lishi occupied half of the car and sat together. As soon as he fell asleep, his head unknowingly leaned on his shoulder.

Chapter 71 It's... done!

Li Yingwan is tall and tall, and her shoulders are high because of her height. In order to make Tang Zhang's pillow more comfortable, she tried to lean her body and lower her shoulders as much as possible. However, sitting in this way made it uncomfortable, and naturally she couldn't sleep. Tang Cheng Looking at her increasingly haggard face, she smiled gratefully.

Li Yingwan shook her head with a smile, because the wind was blowing in after the window curtain was lifted, Li Yingwan wanted to put the scarf on her side on Tang Zhang, when she moved, she muttered in her throat After a few sounds, I was about to wake up.

Li Yingwan was afraid that Mrs. Tang and Zhang would be embarrassed to see this appearance when she woke up, so she hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Before she closed her eyes, she gave Tang Cheng a wink, indicating that he would do the same.

Tang Cheng looked at Tang Shuan who was also squinting beside him, and quietly closed his eyes, leaving only a little peripheral vision in the corner of his eyes to pay attention to Tang Zhang's movements.

Mrs. Tang and Zhang woke up by moving her legs and feet. She was still a little confused at the beginning. When she woke up and found that she was lying on Li Yingwan's pillow, her body suddenly dodged to the side like a thorn. Turning red, her eyes first glanced at Li Yingwan next to her, then at Tang Cheng, and then at Tang Shuan who was staring at him, and finally let go of her worries and let out a sigh of relief. Did not dare to speak loudly.

Seeing Tang and Zhang's appearance like this, Tang Cheng, who lowered his head, felt a pain in his stomach, so he managed to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out.

Hey, our old lady! ! !

Not long after they entered the city, although they had tossed all night, the Tang and Zhang shi did not stop, and they were about to go to the residence of Xiangu Liu in Xicheng.

Liu Xiangu lived in a small courtyard with a single family. When Tang Cheng walked in with Mrs. Tang and Zhang, he realized that the courtyard, which looked quiet from the outside, was actually full of people. , but the scene was quiet, everyone's faces were very quiet, and the eyes that looked at the main room in the courtyard from time to time actually contained awe from the heart.

"Through yin and yang, the fox possesses the body", this is really scary.Since a sorceress who pretends to be a ghost can get to the point of Liu Xiangu, then it is not surprising that she has such a great influence on the old lady Tang and Zhang.

Entering the courtyard, the expression on Tang and Zhang's face immediately became more serious, and they sat quietly in the back waiting, Tang Cheng could only accompany him, because it was inconvenient for him to talk to Li Yingwan because the second elder was there, and he was so aggrieved. .

After waiting for nearly an hour before it was his turn, Mrs. Tang Zhang led Li Yingwan and walked in. Looking at the door of the main room which had been closed again, Tang Chengzhen had an indescribable feeling. I didn't expect that there would be an ancient witch to make decisions about major events in my life. The power of the environment is really immeasurable, and no matter who you are, you can't be unrestricted.

After waiting for a long time, Mrs. Tang and Zhang stayed inside for a short time. After Li Yingwan came out, she quietly gave Tang Cheng a reassuring smile. After seeing this smile, Tang Cheng's pent-up anger finally eased. many.

Sitting on the carriage back to the residence, Tang Cheng observed the old lady's expression calmly, and saw that her face was only tired, and the tense expression from last night and even when she came here had disappeared, and her heart finally settled down.

This matter... is done!

Back at the house in the county seat, Li Yingwan first ordered Gao's family to prepare meals quickly, and then followed Tang Cheng to accompany the Tang and Zhang couples to go around the yard carefully. It was Sister Lan who used to be very relaxed in the Zhuangzi Er'er is a little bit at a loss now, she has the identity of a servant girl so she can't move too much, but in her heart she really wants to come up and get close, so it's extremely uncomfortable to be entangled like this.

Mrs. Tang and Zhang have noticed bluegrass since she came in. How handsome this girl is!The age is similar to that of her own son. The most important thing is that she has a round body. At first glance, she looks like a rich man who can give birth to a son. Seeing that she looks at her very kindly, with a look of hesitation after thinking about it, Tang Zhang slightly He waved with a smile and said, "Daughter, come here."

This daughter-in-law's kiss made Lancao's heart warm. After walking in, Mrs. Tang and Zhang looked more and more satisfied with the round and beautiful sister Lan, and unconsciously took her hand and turned to Li Yingwan, who turned her head to one side, " This is……".

Li Yingwan felt depressed when she saw Tang and Zhang's affection for Sister Lan. No matter how much she suffered, she couldn't get a smile on her face. It would be like this as soon as the orchid grass came out. It would be a lie to say that she had no idea in her heart.Just at this moment, the woman felt a hand on her lower back to comfort her, and when she looked out of the corner of her eye, it was Tang Cheng who was beside her stretching out her hand through the cover of her body.

The woman felt Tang Cheng's thoughtfulness, and then looked at his slightly apologetic eyes, the breath that had just risen in her chest and abdomen suddenly dissipated, thinking about her past, and thinking about her age, how could she get With such a knowledgeable and interesting husband, what is there to complain about?After all, I am older than a man for a whole round, and women are already aging quickly, so it is hard to guarantee that he will not... Think about it carefully, it is better to directly give the matter of Lancao, because this is the promise of Lancao. secondly, to appear magnanimous in front of the Tang and Zhang couples; thirdly, there must always be a regular wife in the house, even if it is a rainy day, it can be regarded as a helper reserved for myself.

After all, Lancao was born as a girl of her own, how dare she compete with her for favor?Maybe it's because I still have something to borrow from her after I'm old and fading, and it's a rainy day if I show my affection early now.

In a short period of time, these thoughts flashed like calcium carbide sparks in the woman's mind. After turning back and grabbing Tang Cheng's hand, the woman smiled and said to Tang Zhang: "Auntie, this is Lancaoer. It was the personal girl I bought in the mountains three years ago, and since Ah Cheng arrived at the county school at the beginning of the year, she has followed her to take care of food and daily life."

When the woman mentioned the word "close girl", she deliberately emphasized her tone. She is a widow. If she wants to remarry, a close girl like Lancao must follow her to be a big girl. How could Tang and Zhang not understand?

Hearing this, Mrs. Tang and Zhang were really happy. She pulled Sister Lan to smile more and more kindly. Sister Lan was already blushing, but at this moment, she saw Mrs. Tang and Zhang's eyes circling around her breasts and buttocks. , his face blushed even more, and he couldn't lift it up.

There was such an obvious difference in Tang Zhang's attitude towards Li Yingwan and Sister Lan that even Tang Cheng couldn't see it. He found an excuse to order something, and Tang Zhang reluctantly let Ren Lancao go. went.

Mrs. Tang Zhang turned her head to look at Li Yingwan, who was smiling a little dryly, and continued to walk forward while taking the woman's hand, "When is it convenient for you, let me and Cheng'er and his father meet your father mother?".

Unexpectedly, the woman was a little stunned when Tang and Zhang uttered such words suddenly.

"Since you are going to marry into the Tang family, we parents can't let you be wronged. Although our family is poor and small, we can't miss the 'six rituals' at all. You entered the house in a good manner, anyway, you have to know that you are a dignified married Tang family, tell me, how can this matter be resolved without discussing it with your parents?" Tang Zhang saw the woman's eye circles were slightly red, I also feel astringent in my heart, this woman's life is really bitter!Unknowingly, there was more comforting warmth in her words, "I know what I planted, it's not that I, a mother, have no shame in praising my son. That's great, since he really likes you, he will definitely treat you well after you get married."

Since ancient times, the status of concubines has not been high. At that time, when people married concubines, they were often taken over hastily by a horse-drawn cart, especially for Li Yingwan who was married four times. Not to mention whether anyone dares to marry, if someone is willing to marry, it means that there are real people Marrying her as a concubine, what I thought in my heart was that I didn't want more people to know about it, let alone mentions like Tang and Zhang's.

Speaking of it, it is true that Mrs. Tang and Zhang did not want to do it too hastily because this was the first marriage of her only son, but if she thought about it, she might not have no pity for Mrs. Gao, after all, she had been in the village for decades. Notoriously good-natured people.

"Hmm!", the woman who felt her nose sore faintly held Tang Zhang's hand tightly with her backhand.

Chapter 72 Unintentional insertion, causal loop!

Tang Cheng, who was following behind, felt a lot of relief after seeing this scene. It was too much for Tang and Zhang to fall in love with this daughter-in-law at once, but at least there is no need to worry about the future if they can have such a good start now. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is too difficult.

After Tang Zhang finally recognized the woman's identity in words, he let out a long sigh of relief.Now that the matter has been settled, the way she looks at the woman and her mentality are different. Although she is not as affectionate as she was with the orchid grass, she is also warm to each other. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are walking and talking holding hands in front of her. Tang Cheng is happy to see this , and accompanied the silent Tang Shuan to follow slowly, until Sister Lan came to treat her to dinner, and then they turned back to the flower hall.

Li Yingwan was happy that her wish was fulfilled, Lancao was happy that Tang and Zhang were happy, and Tang and Zhang were also happy to see their son getting married soon. The whole family is happy, why is Tang Cheng unhappy?Therefore, this meal was eaten harmoniously, and there was only indescribable harmony.

Because they didn't sleep well last night, they rested after dinner. After waking up, Tang Cheng accompanied the two elders to visit the county town, and they didn't return until after dark.

Early the next morning, Tang and Zhang, who were worried about their family, insisted on leaving, and agreed that they would go to the city after Li Yingwan's parents had a letter of approval. Tang Cheng could only send them away .

It was getting late after sending off the carriage in which his parents were riding, and Tang Cheng didn't delay any longer. He took the cloth bag containing the books and went directly to the county school.

Walking into the school building of his class, Tang Chengcheng felt a little different. Many students looked at him with weird eyes, and it was just after he walked in front that the discussion started to "boom". Maybe it's because I haven't seen you for several days.

Although Tang Cheng was puzzled, but because the teacher who was teaching almost followed him in, he couldn't ask Zhang Xiangwen for clarification. Until the end of the first class, he gave Zhang Xiangwen a wink and went to ask Zhang Xiangwen first. go outside.

The two of them didn't go far, and when they stood under the peach tree not far from the school building, Tang Cheng said directly, "What happened?".

"Brother, have you been there recently? I'm going to ask you two things, you have to tell the truth!" Zhang Xiangwen looked around in a ghostly manner, and said solemnly: "First, those students who are helping in the county government The news came back that the county magistrate Zhang has taken a fancy to the elder brother and wants to keep the elder brother by his side to make knives and pens, is this true?".

The news spread quickly, thinking that County Magistrate Zhang had already greeted him in the county government office, Tang Cheng nodded and said, "That's right, there is such a thing."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiangwen took a sharp breath with a hiss like a toothache, "Brother, do you live with a widow now, and is that poisonous widow who killed four men?".

"How do you know about this?" Tang Cheng slapped Zhang Xiangwen hard, "Soon you will have to be called sister-in-law, what kind of poisonous widow! If you are so disrespectful, you will never come to my door No food to eat."

"Brother, are you really with her? Want to get married?" Tang Cheng's affirmative answer made Zhang Xiangwen jump three feet high, forgetting even the pain, "I thought someone made a rumor about you, brother, my Dear brother, it’s fine if you don’t want your future, why don’t you even want your life?”.

"I've been with her since last year, isn't this still a good life?" Tang Cheng grabbed Zhang Xiangwen who was swaying in circles, and asked seriously, "What do you mean by not wanting a future?".

"Two days ago, there was news from the county government that the county magistrate Zhang had taken a fancy to you and wanted you to stay in the county government to replace Lin Cheng. But the next day, Lin Chengcheng began to say that you and poison... Ah, it's about the future sister-in-law. This guy has a bad mouth and is jealous of you. What else can he say? Our county school has a lot of people helping the county government, so the news will naturally spread Come back, this is what they were discussing just now?"

After looking at Tang Cheng's face, Zhang Xiangwen continued: "As a result, new news came back yesterday, saying that Master Yao called you to the magistrate Zhang on the grounds that you 'do not cultivate your virtues, and you have nothing to do." What is even more ruthless about the matter of going to the county government is that this guy actually wrote an essay to the county school in person, asking Lin Xuezheng to expel you for the same reason."

"Oh! What did Lin Xuezheng say?"

"Yao Qingguo, the second-tailed man, came to deliver the essay yesterday. I don't know how Lin Xuezheng responded. I just heard that he looked very bad when he came out of Xuezheng's office. If you look at it this way, Lin Xuezheng must Promise him."

"En", Tang Cheng nodded when he heard the words, his impetuous heart slowly calmed down.Start thinking about the whole thing carefully.

Since he went to the county school, he has never been to a single classmate of his current residence. Although he and Li Yingwan lived in the same yard, although he did not intentionally hide it from others, it would not be so easy for others to find out. The method of investigation is used, and the easiest way to check the household registration is in the county government.After all, the ownership of every house in the city is recorded here.But now such information happened to be in charge of Yao Qingguo, and thinking about it later, Lin Cheng who came forward was just being used as a gunman.

County magistrate Zhang decided to use himself on the first day, but the matter between him and Li Yingwan broke out on the second day, and then used this as an excuse to prevent him from entering the county government, and Xingwen county school, this trick The son was really chasing him urgently and ruthlessly.To be able to use such tricks... Thinking of this, Tang Cheng's mind suddenly reappeared the smile of Master Yao talking and laughing in the county government hall that day.

This old guy was so ruthless to him, it was still Xiang Zhuang who danced the sword, aiming at Pei Gong.Tang Cheng could understand his thoughts after sorting them out. On the one hand, he used this to block the gap in Zhang County magistrate's placement of private individuals in the county government; "Show it to the "monkeys" in the county government, so that they can't give birth, or dare not give birth to a different heart.

"The old thing thinks beautifully." Tang Cheng can still understand the previous methods, but Master Yao's desire to expel him from the county school really makes Tang Cheng hate him to the bone. This move is really vicious Well, if he is really kicked out of the county school like this, he will be beaten back to his original shape immediately, not to mention his future, he is doomed to have nothing to do with official schools and officials in this life.

Killing is nothing more than a nod, but Master Yao wanted to cut off Tang Cheng's roots as soon as he made a move. This beam is really deep.

Tang Cheng thought clearly in his mind that it was almost time, "Let's go to class".

Zhang Xiangwen's eyes straightened when he heard this, "You still have the mind to take bird lessons, who should you go to?".

"The more it is at this time, the more you have to go to class." At this point, Tang Cheng smiled inexplicably and walked to the school building first.

Tang Chengren looked at him with weird eyes and kept talking, but he still finished the four classes steadily as usual. It's hard to say how much he listened to, but at least he didn't see the slightest abnormality on the surface.

When school was over at the beginning of the afternoon, Tang Cheng asked Zhang Xiangwen to leave first, and he slowly packed the books and other things by himself. Seeing that people were almost gone, he walked to Lin Xuezheng's office.

"You are so patient and calm." Lin Xuezheng obviously knew that Tang Cheng had already arrived at school, and he was clearly waiting for him from the posture in front of him, "What's the matter between you and that widow? It's normal for men and women to have sex, but you can't just live in her house? You can't stop being virtuous, but you can't do anything! Listen to these eight words, you are really confused, what do you think? What should I do?".

Lin Xuezheng was obviously annoyed when something like this happened at such a juncture, and his tone of speech to Tang Cheng was unprecedentedly severe, and even more annoyed that he hated iron for not being able to make steel.

"Master Xuezheng, don't get so angry, let me explain this matter to Zhang County Magistrate later." Tang Cheng poured a cup of tea for Lin Xuezheng and sent it over. How did your lord contact Zhao Huhu?"

"Do you think Tiger Zhao is a fuel-efficient lamp?" Lin Xuezheng, who has always been gentle and elegant, spoke very aggressively today. He didn't take the tea Tang Cheng handed over, and stood up directly. Let's see how you explain."

After getting into the car, Lin Xuezheng ignored Tang Cheng in a daze along the way, but Tang Cheng was determined that the case had already been settled and he was not anxious.

There are always some unintentional things in life. There are many unconscious "causes" in the front, and in the end they produce unexpected "fruits", and this "fruit" itself becomes the antecedent of the next result. .

After a while, I arrived at the county government office. Because it was the time to leave the office at noon, the magistrate Zhang happened to be in the study. As expected, seeing that Tang Cheng had arrived, his expression was no stronger than that of Lin Xuezheng.

After the three sat down, Lin Xuezheng looked at Tang Chengdao: "It's already here, tell me, what's your explanation?".

Seeing Lin Xuezheng and County Magistrate Zhang staring at him, Tang Cheng said slowly, "I am indeed with Yingwan and will get married soon, but this is not important, there is only one thing that matters."

When he said the previous sentence, the expressions of the two of them changed drastically. Fortunately, they were educated scholars after all, so they managed to hold back and wait for him to finish speaking.

Lin Xuezheng put his hands on the table beside him, and when he saw that something was wrong, he should shoot the case, "Tell me, what's the point!".

"The important thing is Yingwan's uncle." Tang Cheng smiled slightly into Lin Xuezheng's eyes and said, "The county captain Zhao Huhu who loves to protect her children the most is her real uncle!".

Chapter 73 Intermarriage Book!

"Zhao Huhu is her real uncle." As soon as Tang Cheng said this, County Magistrate Zhang and Lin Xuezheng, who was originally full of anger, were taken aback. After the two exchanged glances, Lin Xuezheng asked again, " You said that Zhao Huhu is the woman's real uncle?", because his expression changed too quickly, his face looked a little numb.

Tang Cheng didn't have much to say, he just nodded and agreed, "Yes".

After confirming the news, County Magistrate Zhang and Lin Xuezheng looked at each other again, and there was a burst of joy in their eyes. It's really a good thing that is about to happen.

Not to mention that a few days ago, the strategy to win over Zhao Huhu was decided. In fact, when Zhang County Magistrate first took office, he worked hard on Zhao Xianwei, hoping to draw him to his side.

Zhao Huhu is an old man in the county. He has worked in the yamen step by step for decades. He has a high prestige among the people. Whether it is influence in the market or in the county yamen, he is a well-deserved ruthless character.Although he is the third-in-command county lieutenant, he is enough to compete with Master Yao in terms of seniority and influence.

Reluctantly, County Captain Zhao is also an old man. Although he doesn't reveal anything, he can see the general situation in the county government, and he has no intention of getting involved in the troubled waters of Zhang and Yao's dispute.Therefore, no matter how the magistrate Renzhang wins over Huairou, he always supports him not far or near.Don't slacken in official business, but talk about personal friendship and friendship, but don't talk about it.

Faced with his attitude, magistrate zhang really had nothing to do.His county honor is a lame duck, how can he deal with Zhao Huhu, who is both old and outstanding in political achievements?

After making the plan four days ago, County Magistrate Zhang worked hard again and took Lin Xuezheng to beat the side drum together. Even so, the situation didn't get much better.

But at the moment when the town army could not be called in but Erlongshan bandits had to be dealt with, Tiger Tiger Zhao was too important, but he had to pull it. For this matter, County Magistrate Zhang has been really angry these days.

Seeing the time passing day by day, magistrate Zhang was in a hurry, when Tang Cheng suddenly broke the news, how could he not be happy?

The joy in his eyes couldn't be concealed, County Magistrate Zhang, who was looking at Lin Xuezheng, turned his gaze, and said with some hesitation: "I heard that this woman has always been in Kefu, Tang Cheng, you...you want to marry her? ".

Tang Cheng witnessed Magistrate Zhang's hesitation and questioning, and he felt an indescribable joy in his heart. Magistrate Zhang still thought of asking him such a question at such a difficult time. Although he was a little bookish, it was enough. It shows that this person is not the kind of mean and ungrateful person who only seeks utilitarianism. Working with such a boss, at least he doesn't feel aggrieved.

"It's strange that you don't talk! I don't believe in what's not to say. I've known her for more than a year. I haven't lived well for more than a year. Let alone her life, it's just a minor illness. There are no minor disasters." Thinking about Zhang County Magistrate's performance just now, Tang Cheng didn't show his face at all, and said with a smile: "I have informed my parents about this matter, and they all agree. Now Just wait for the 'intermarriage letter' to the bride's house."

As soon as Tang Cheng finished speaking, Lin Xuezheng on the side clapped his hands and praised: "Your speech is strange! Tang Cheng's words are good."

Hearing this, County Magistrate Zhang smiled, saying that he was the one who would be most happy to see this matter come to fruition, "I just wonder how County Commander Zhao Suri treats his niece?".

Tang Cheng thought for a while, but finally he didn't tell about Li Yingwan's handling of the rural property for her uncle. Since Zhao Huhu did it in such a secret way, he naturally didn't want others to know, and he didn't say much about it unless it was necessary. Just simply replied: "It's okay."

"The county magistrate is too worried," Lin Xuezheng took over the conversation with a smile, "If you say that the biggest characteristic of Zhao Huhu is that he is good at protecting his weaknesses. He usually protects his subordinates like a calf, let alone his own family. A niece."

At this time, where is Lin Xuezheng still a little bit annoyed when he saw Tang Cheng just now?Seeing County Magistrate Zhang laughing at the words, he continued with a heck of a word: "Since it's Tang Cheng's good deed, this intermarriage letter might have to borrow a great man's calligraphy. It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, so I will grind the ink for your master." how?".

After being bored for several days, the county magistrate Zhang finally showed a smile on his face and did not refuse. After asking about Tang Shuan's name and the order of Li Yingwan's sisters at home, he went to the desk to quote his pen and ink, and leaned over the desk. Book.

Tang Cheng got up and went to the desk to look at it. He saw that the county magistrate Zhang was really good at running script, and the content in his pen was simple, just two or three crosses:

Tang Shuanbai: The family has an only son, the year has been established, and there is no marriage.The two daughters of Chengxian, Lingshu, are well-known, and they have both four virtues.Because of the matchmakers Zhang Wupo and Lin Yunan, they dare to courteously, and if they are not punished, they will wait for their orders.

So far, Tang Cheng knew that Zhang County Magistrate's full name was Zhang Wupo, and he was really happy when he saw this marriage certificate, but the joy was more because of Li Yingwan. All that was brought to her was endless sadness and humiliation. The magistrate of this county and Mr. Xuezheng could act as matchmakers for this marriage. In addition to a big face, at any rate, it can also sweep away the bad luck of the past.

Of course, a widow's remarriage can attract county magistrate Zhang to pull Lin Xuezheng to be a matchmaker together. The county magistrate is more interested in ulterior motives, otherwise Tang Cheng's current face will not be enough.

County magistrate Zhang must be very satisfied with the cursive script he wrote on the intermarriage letter. After finishing the pen, he read it carefully until the ink was completely dry. Then he ordered the servants waiting outside the study to go to the inner room to get the brocade. Box comes.

After a while, the servant came in holding a brocade box about one foot long. Tang Cheng saw that the box was exquisitely crafted with four corners inlaid with silver, and there was a faint scent of sandalwood. Ling wanted to use it to hold the marriage letter, but he quickly stopped it. It is not easy for the county magistrate Zhang to be the matchmaker, and it is not easy to write the marriage letter by hand, so there is no need for people to subsidize these things.

"Tang Cheng doesn't have to be like this. This gift letter must never be neglected." Lin Xuezheng was in a good mood now, and while Zhang County Magistrate was sealing the sandalwood box, he explained to Tang Cheng with a smile: "Don't underestimate this Each size of the ceremony letter is very particular. It is one foot and two inches long, which is December of the year of the law; fen, like three talents, and the width of the letter is eight fen, like eight knots. These dimensions can’t be wrong at all, if you don’t use this, you won’t be able to find a suitable one for a while.”

After Lin Xuezheng finished talking about the details of the etiquette letter, County Magistrate Zhang also finished the seal in his hand, and handed the box to Tang Cheng, "Yunan is right, marriage is the great principle of human nature, and it cannot be neglected. Speaking of which, this gift letter was prepared for my younger brother, and today just in time, you can just use it. After all, she is the niece of the county captain Zhao, so don’t neglect these etiquettes.” Tang Cheng took the box , County magistrate Zhang added with a smile: "By the way, don't forget to tie this gift letter with five-color thread when you go home."

Since County Magistrate Zhang mentioned Zhao Huhu, there is no need to say more about its potential meaning, so Tang Cheng didn't refuse any more, "Thank you, Mr. Xian Zun."

"En", County Magistrate Zhang nodded with a smile, but did not speak, and glanced sideways at Lin Xuezheng.

How could Lin Xuezheng not understand what Magistrate Zhang meant?He patted Tang Cheng's shoulder with a smile and said: "It's still the same sentence just now, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Since your parents have agreed to this marriage, I think I can send this marriage letter to the Zhao family in the afternoon."
