After grooming, the two came to the ancestral hall where Father Zhao's spiritual tablet was placed, offered incense and kowtow to the old man's spiritual tablet, comforted the ancestors, and asked the ancestors to bless their descendants in safety.

During breakfast, Hua Mulan asked, "Does your husband have any business today? How do you plan to arrange it?"

After drinking a bowl of bird's nest, Zhao Junsheng said: "Official work is endless every day, let's take a rest for two days, let's wait for the juniors to come to offer tea at home today, and tomorrow I will accompany you back to your mother's house to visit your mother-in-law, and then I will be busy for a while." New Year's Eve is coming!"

"Alright!" Hua Mulan agreed.

Not long after the two of them had breakfast, the unnamed disciple Wei Jing, accompanied by Liang Ji and others, came to offer tea.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan sat on both sides of the coffee table facing north and south respectively. Wei Jing stepped forward and knelt down, took a cup of tea from Liang Ji and handed it to Zhao Junsheng with both hands: "Master, drink tea!"

"Okay!" Zhao Junsheng nodded, took a sip of it, took a red envelope and handed it to him, saying, "From today onwards, I will adopt you as my adopted son. You don't need to change your surname or name, and you will still use your original name. In the future, you will learn martial arts well." , study hard, and be a person who is useful to the world and the common people!"

"Yes, father!" Wei Jing took the red envelope respectfully. ----Fast update, no anti-theft on 16595---

Then Wei Jing offered tea to Hua Mulan: "Mum, drink tea!"

"Good boy!" Hua Mulan took the tea and drank it, put it aside and handed Wei Jing a red envelope.

"Thank you, Mom!" Wei Jing took the red envelope and got up and stepped aside.

Zhao Junsheng looked at it, pointed to Liang Yi and said, "Liang Yi, come here!"

Liang Yi was a little puzzled, but still walked over.

Zhao Junsheng pulled Hua Mulan up, and then pulled Liang Ji to sit on the head and said to Liang Yi: "Our two families have a deep relationship. Back then, your father and my father were life and death brothers. Now it's our generation, and the friendship cannot be broken. , whether you are rich or poor, we must share honor and disgrace, and today the two of us sworn brothers in front of my uncle!"

Liang Ji and Liang Yi's father and son were shocked: "How did this happen?"

Zhao Junsheng asked back: "Why can't it be done? Is it because my nephew is now the governor of Youzhou and the governor of Zhengzhou?"

General Dong, Uncle and Brother Liang Yi are worried that others will say that you are overseeing me, Zhao Junsheng?This friendship is not something that can be obtained by climbing high, but it was forged with the blood and lives of the ancestors of the previous generation! "

The father and son looked at each other, and Liang Ji sighed: "Brother Jun is benevolent and righteous, he is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. In this case, uncle, I will not be hypocritical. Yi'er, kneel outside facing your brother!"

The two bowed down to heaven and earth.

Liang Ji also ordered someone to bring a dagger, let the two cut their palms and drop their blood into a bowl, share it and drink it. This is to make an alliance with the blood. Each swore not to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day. The oath is over. Worship each other and become brothers of the opposite sex.

Liang Yi then offered tea to Hua Mulan, and called her sister-in-law. Hua Mulan took the tea and drank it with a smile, and handed Liang Yi a red envelope.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan knelt in front of Liang Ji again, called their uncles, and offered tea to each other.

So far, the family enjoys harmony, regardless of each other, and there is no barrier between master and servant.

Early the next morning, Liang Ji heard that Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan were going back home to visit their mother-in-law, so they prepared the gifts early on. After Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan had breakfast, they took the gifts and rode to Huafu in chariots and horses.

Hua Xiong, who received the news, was waiting outside the house early on. In the two days since Hua Mulan got married, Hua Xiong seemed to have grown up a lot and became more sensible.

"Brother-in-law, sister, are you here? Mother is waiting for you in the main room!" Hua Xiong said while cupping his fists at Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Is my mother-in-law okay these two days? I'm worried that she will feel sad because of Mulan's marriage, and she will inevitably not think about eating and drinking!"

Hua Xiong said: "My brother-in-law really guessed it right! Please follow me in!"

Hua Xiong asked his servants to take the gifts they brought, and the group of three quickly came to the hall, where Hua Mu was sitting on the table and drinking tea.

"My son-in-law pays his respects to his mother-in-law." Zhao Junsheng and his wife stepped forward to salute the mother-in-law.

Mother Hua wiped her tears and raised her hand: "Excuse me, let's sit down and drink tea!"

"Thank you mother-in-law!"

Mother Hua was very worried about whether Mulan was used to living in her husband's house. When the mother and daughter talked, Zhao Junsheng couldn't interrupt, so he could only sit by and drink tea non-stop.

Seeing that Zhao Junsheng was sitting alone bored, Hua Xiong got up and said, "Brother-in-law, I seem to have reached a bottleneck in my martial arts practice recently, and I want to ask you for advice, may I?"

"Okay, let's go to the martial arts field!"

After Zhao Junsheng and Hua Xiong left, Huamu asked Mulan, "Did Junsheng bully you these two days?"

Hua Mulan said with a smile, "Mother, it's not that you don't know Brother Junsheng, why would you bully me? My daughter is very good!"

"Girls are extroverts!" Hua Mulan shook her head, remembering something and said to Hua Mulan: "Now that you and Junsheng are married, do you want to arrange an errand for Xiong'er? If you have an errand, you can tell him about your marriage." !"

Hua Mulan thought for a while and said, "You should tell brother Junsheng personally about this matter. I said he might not agree, but you are an elder, so he can't refuse you!"

"Okay, for the sake of my son, I can only sacrifice this old face!"

Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Junsheng not to give face to his mother-in-law, but he can't be nepotism. Drill with other soldiers.

According to Zhao Junsheng's idea, he actually wanted to throw Hua Xiong into the military training below, starting from a small soldier. Hua Xiong is a good material, very talented in martial arts, and very enthusiastic about military affairs. This is why Hua Xiong is better than others It is a strong place, but Mother Hua does not agree to let her son crawl and roll with the ordinary soldiers below, worrying that he will lose his life if he rushes forward in a war.

It was rare to rest for two days. Zhao Junsheng dragged Hua Mulan to wander in the market. Passing by the meat market, he dragged Hua Mulan and walked in.

"My lord and madam, you two see that this is a freshly slaughtered hog, very thick! And here are freshly slaughtered sheep and beef." A butcher greeted Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan.

Zhao Junsheng looked at it, and asked the price of each kind. The transactions here are very chaotic.

Some stall owners need customers to trade in cloth, some need to trade in copper coins, and some need to trade in gold.

"Slaughter a hog again, don't take the water away; also, kill three sheep, sheep whips, sheep intestines and sheep kidneys are indispensable, and half of the beef, beef offal and beef bones are also required, and sent together Governor's Mansion!" Zhao Junsheng asked the soldiers who followed him to give a few golden scorpions.

When the butcher heard that he was from the governor's mansion, he was too frightened to accept the money, "I can't do it, I can't do it, these meats are just for the villain to honor the governor, how dare I take money?"

"Just take it if you tell me, where is there so much nonsense? Let me ask you, do people in the government buy things for nothing?" Zhao Junsheng asked.

The butcher said: "That's not true, the villain... The villain is just afraid of getting into trouble!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "As long as it is a legitimate business, the sale must be fair. How can there be someone who doesn't pay for selling something? In the future, which official sells something and doesn't pay for it, the businessman can go to the government office to file a lawsuit!"

"Thank you, my lord!" The butcher thanked him a thousand times.

Next, Zhao Junsheng went to the aquatic product market and bought more than 200 catties of large grass carp and herring, and asked the vendors to drag them to the Governor's Mansion with a cart.

On the way back, Hua Mulan asked, "Husband, why are you buying so much meat and fish?"

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Don't look at the cold weather, but the meat and fish will be stale after two days, and they will also go bad after a few days! I buy these meat and fish to marinate them. It can be stored for a longer time! Of course, the taste of cured goods is also unique, and you will know it when you eat it in a few days!"

Back at the Governor's Mansion, Zhao Junsheng asked his servants to find a large wooden tray, put the meat from the street vendors and butchers into the wooden tub, kill the fish, and take out the internal organs. The intestines and swim bladder of the big fish are edible Yes, it tastes really good when cooked well.

With more than 500 catties of meat and more than 200 catties of fish, Zhao Junsheng shared [-] catties of coarse salt. Considering that the salt purification technology of this era is too poor, it is not very salty, so more salt is used.

After marinating for one day, put it in a water tank. After four or five days, the salt smell has penetrated into the meat, then take it out, wash it with warm water, and hang it on a rope to dry in the sun.

The winter sun is very mild. After two days in the sun, the dried bacon, cured fish and other cured goods are hung in a ventilated place. When you want to eat, you can cut off a piece, or steam or stir-fry.

That night, Zhao Junsheng cooked for himself and bought expensive rice and dried bamboo shoots shipped from the south from the market.
