In the main room after entering the house, Mrs. Zhu smiled and watched her son and daughter-in-law bow down and bow respectfully. Cui Shiniang was from a famous family, and her words and deeds were all dignified and polite, which was pleasing to the eye. However, Li Shan only had emergency training for half a month. It can only be said to be so-so... Zhu didn't like it anyway.
Seeing the tiredness between Cui Shiniang's brows, Mrs. Zhu couldn't help but glare at Li Shan, who had bright eyes... The young man was greedy for pleasure, but he didn't know how to feel sorry for others.
Li Shan was also very aggrieved. Although he had been a monk for two years and was in full swing, Eleven Niang was only fifteen years old after all. He was cautious, advancing three times and retreating two... I can only say that Eleven Niang has a delicate body and a noble body. Would you like to try putting broad beans under the quilt later?
"Leave a group of people here. The children on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month will live here." Li Shan and Zhu discussed for a while and then turned to look at Cui Shiniang. "There are not enough people in the village, so I will transfer them under your name." Manpower."
"It's the arrangement between Ah Jia and Lang Jun."
"That's wrong. Those are all your dowry." Mrs. Zhu simply regarded her daughter-in-law as her daughter and her son as her son-in-law. "Eleventh Mother, you will make the arrangements, and Zhuangzi will also be in charge of you... Don't worry, your mother I ordered a few stewards to come over, and they all discussed it privately."
Cui Shiniang pointed her fingers and said: "One is in charge of the various properties in Chang'an, one is in charge of the two villages in Jingzhao, and the other is in charge of chores. Why don't Zhuangzi select someone from Sun Moon Lake to take over and let that person take care of it?" This house?”
"You guys can discuss it, but we have to go back to Zhuangzi first." Li Shan was too lazy to pay attention to this. When he went out, he met Zhu Wei and Hou Chen. They were busy counting various utensils, mainly the dowry sent yesterday, and a small part was left at the house. , most of them have to be sent back to Sun Moon Lake. After all, they will live in Sun Moon Lake for a long time in the future.
Li Shandong looked around. The house in the Tang Dynasty seemed to occupy a large area, but it did not feel spacious. This was mainly due to flaws in the space design, but it was understandable. After all, under normal circumstances, A wealthy family has old people at the top, maybe brothers in the middle, and children at the bottom. It just can't arrange all kinds of servants and entourages.
For this reason, when the Cui family decided on the number of people to be included in the dowry, Li Shan specifically asked not to send too many people over... We need to use people. Sun Moon Lake now has thousands of households, and there are too many people. In the end, Zhang decided to only send Fifty households of servants came over.
Many of them have specialized crafts, some are good at raising horses, some are good at making paper, brushes and other stationery, some are good at cultivating flowers and plants, some are good at cooking, some are good at farming, some are good at merchants, etc. Everything you need.
They said they set off early, but Li Shan waited outside for half an hour before Zhu and Cui Shiniang came out and held hands. They really looked like a mother and daughter, which made Li Shan dumbfounded.
It wasn't until he got on the carriage that Li Shan realized something was wrong, and stepped forward to help Cui Shiniang, "What's wrong?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she knew she was wrong. Cui Shiniang's little hands were trembling, and Mrs. Zhu gave her son a blank look... You have caused trouble for me all night, what do you think is wrong?
All the way back to Sun Moon Lake and into Li's house, Mrs. Zhu held Cui Shiniang's arm and pointed, joking from time to time. Li Shan followed listlessly, and turned around to say hello before entering the main hall, "Come in."
Today is the time to recognize relatives. There was no fixed process related to this in the Tang Dynasty, but there was a similar process. The Li family had a simple population and few in-laws. Today, except for a few close friends of Li Shan, they were all from Zhuangzi.
"You know both Zhou and Xiaoman." Zhu pointed, "This is Mo Xiang. She has been very good at taking care of the backyard in the past few years."
The three of them bowed, and Cui Shiniang nodded. Zhou and Xiaoman lived with the A family in Cui Mansion for a long time. The former was respectful, while the latter was a little distracted. His eyes turned to Mo Xiang, and his heart I think this must be the maid in the backyard of the Li family, but the name Mo Xiang is somewhat literary, and I wonder if it was given by Lang Jun.
The so-called maidservant refers to the helper in the backyard of the home who assists the mistress in taking care of affairs. Although she has no status, she is very important and has a lot of power.
"Mo Xiang will follow you from now on." Zhu said crisply: "Let A Lang arrange the front yard."
"Thank you, A'jia."
"Why are you saying this?" Mrs. Zhu pulled Cui Shiniang to sit on the couch and whispered: "Although I look forward to spreading the branches and leaves, we are still young and the time is still long, so we cannot let him Mind."
Sunlight shone down in the courtyard, falling right on Cui Shiniang's ears. It looked both crimson and crystal clear. I couldn't help it, but I kept thinking of some weeds by the stream, with orioles on them...
At this time, Li Shan strode in, "Mother, the guests haven't arrived yet, let Eleven Niang recognize the guards first."
Mrs. Zhu nodded and Eleven Niang stepped aside. Li Shan shook his head and stood there instead of sitting down. "Eleven Niang should be aware of the Li family's personal guards."
"Why don't you know?" Cui Shiniang stood up and said: "The bodyguards around Langjun are all sharp men, and there are also many generals. The article "Horse Theory" will definitely be passed down to future generations."
"Okay, I'll introduce you today." Li Shan turned around and said, Wang Junhao, Liu Heier, Fan Shiyi, Qi Sanlang, Zhou Erlang, Zhao Da, Zhu Ba and other personal guards entered one after another.
"Brother Dingfang is now in charge of the Lingzhou Army. Zhang Sanlang is the general in the army. Hou Hongtao, He Fang, and Qu Silang are all generals in the army." Li Shan pointed at Fan Shiyi, "The eleventh son of the Fan family has since When he comes to vote, he will be used as a scout in every battle to find out the military situation. In the first battle in Ji Town, he still swung his sword and refused to retreat even if an arrow pierced his cheek."
Cui Shiniang gave a serious half salute, and Fan Shiyi returned the salute.
"Wang Junhao, he is brave in riding and shooting and will not give way to brother Dingfang. He is brave in breaking through formations and must be the vanguard in every battle."
"Bo Zhou Lang and Qi Sanlang are old men from Shandong. They followed Xiaoguan this time and made great contributions. After the war, they will be knighted and promoted."
"Zhao Da and Zhu Ba were the first personal guards to accompany me. Although they were disabled, they refused to live idle and stayed with me every day."
After making a few brief comments, Li Shan looked at Liu Hei'er, who was standing at the back, and said with a smile, "What book is Ah Hei reading recently?"
"Please ask Ling Gong to explain "Wu Zi"."
Li Shan smiled and said to Cui Shiniang: "Ah Hei has both courage and talent. Now that he is studying military books carefully, he will become a famous general in the future. He should be as good as Brother Dingfang and Zhang Sanlang."
"There are still "Wei Liao Zi" and "Sima Fa" in the study, as well as "Liu Tao Zhu" by Xu Shen of the later Han Dynasty." Cui Shiniang said softly: "You can borrow it as much as you like."
"Thank you, madam."
Hearing this title, Li Shan felt a little uncomfortable. Cui Shiniang glanced over and said in a clear and calm voice: "In the past, Mr. Lang relied on all the gentlemen. The Li family did not dare to say anything in return. We should work hand in hand." good."
Wang Junhao and Qi Sanlang were the first to prostrate themselves, and others also prostrated themselves, "Thank you, Alang, madam."
Mrs. Zhu looked at this scene with satisfaction. Li Shan rubbed her nose and thought that Eleven Niang was thinking far ahead... Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Changsun had both mentioned to Mrs. Zhu that with Li Shan's status and ability, he was qualified to start a business from scratch. , who founded the foundation.
