Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Getting married is a very complicated matter, and there are many things to prepare after getting married, so they must be dealt with early.

First of all, when getting married, one can only bring part of the dowry. Although part of it will be sent to the palace, one must have close people around him.

In addition, the servants of the palace itself must also be taken care of. After all, one should respect Luo Shang first and then respect others. Only when one does well on one's side can one handle the relationships in the palace well.

In addition, after getting married, one has to go to the palace to pay respects and offer tea to the emperor, the empress and the queen mother, and also to establish good relationships with the sisters-in-law.

Regardless of whether it is pleasing or not, at least you cannot make them feel disgusted with you.

There were also silver purses for rewarding the palace maids, eunuchs, and nannies. All matters, no matter how big or small, had to be handled by himself.

Fortunately, this time in addition to Zuo Zhizhi, there is also Zhang Songlan.

As a newly married daughter-in-law, she had to behave properly in front of her mother-in-law in the first few days, but Deng Zijin had no habit of being annoying, so after two days, she sent her to Zuo Qingan.

After all, as the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, Zhang Songlan has her own way of dealing with people and things, and can provide a lot of help to Zuo Qingan.

Zhang Songlan was also grateful that she had married the right family. Her parents-in-law were amiable, her brother-in-law was obedient and sensible, her elder sister-in-law was busy with her own wedding, and her younger sister-in-law was resting nearby. There was no other family more leisurely than this one.

Since the Zuo family treated her sincerely, Zhang Songlan was naturally not stingy and told them everything she knew about the royal family and the secret of her family's peace and security for so many years, which was stability.

The east wind prevails over the west wind, and the west wind prevails over the east wind. The world is changing too fast, let alone the royal throne.

Being stable means not adding insult to injury or even lending a helping hand to others when they are in trouble.

After all, no one can guarantee whether he will be able to turn things around one day.

What's more, Zuo Qing'an is going to marry the fifth prince, who has almost no chance of ascending the throne. Naturally, she has to treat everyone equally and must not offend the first few!

Zuo Qing'an agreed wholeheartedly, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. After the wedding, the Fifth Prince has already made plans and will definitely not participate in the fight for the throne. I believe that no matter what happens in the future, nothing worse will happen."

Zhang Songlan finally felt relieved.

Grandpa married her to the Zuo family. On the one hand, his own family had some problems recently, and on the other hand, he really couldn't offend the previous people.

That's why we chose the Fifth Prince's wife's family. As long as this family can behave clearly, they will not be liquidated in the future.

Seeing that this family are all smart people, there is no need to worry anymore.

A few months passed in a flash, and it was time for my sister to get married.

This wedding was more grand than the previous ones. After all, she was the daughter-in-law of the royal family, so naturally there was an extraordinary ceremony.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. After all, having Zhang Songlan as a helper this time made Deng Zijin feel a lot more relaxed.

Zuo Qing'an's wedding was very low-key. Although it showed royal style from every angle, it was completely different from the previous weddings.

However, the scene seemed very lively. No matter which prince or princess, they had no objection to this. Instead, they entertained the people around them very kindly.

After all, for them, a younger brother who will not fight for the throne is the best younger brother and the best person for them to show their favor.

Although the current emperor does not like the fifth prince, he is his son after all, and he cannot lose face in front of him.

What's more, the competition among the previous princes made the fifth prince seem well-behaved and obedient, and never annoying anyone.

Therefore, this wedding was quite lively.

Needless to say, the emperor and several princes gave a lot of good things as betrothal gifts, and the money earned by the fifth prince from his business over the years also made the ceremony particularly lively.

Of course, there is no need to worry about the dowry. First of all, there are the remaining gift coins and ceremonial coins from the emperor, which are definitely enough to support the occasion.

Although my parents can be said to have started from scratch, their family is not without people, so it seems that they can hold up the situation.

Zuo Zhizhi was young, and since it was her mother's family, she could only stay far away at her own home. She waited for a few days before being invited over by her sister.

But this time, it was discovered that the place where they lived was not the royal palace in the capital, but a mountain villa in the suburbs.

Although the villa on the mountain covers a large enough area and the scenery is very beautiful, it is inconvenient from any perspective.

Not only is it far from the city, it is also difficult to get here.

But the original disdain disappeared without a trace the moment he saw this villa.

Although it is called a villa, it is actually an ancient garden, and its decoration is of the highest quality.

So the couple did not hide in the mountains on purpose, but they did not want to participate in the struggle for imperial power, so they wanted to withdraw quietly and live in the manor on the mountain.

Following the palace maid, Zuo Zhizhi came to the garden, where Zuo Qing'an was looking at the account book.

Although there were quite a few account books in front of her, she just looked at them casually and didn't take the matter to heart at all.

Seeing Zuo Zhizhi coming over, Zuo Qing'an quickly put down the things in his hands and asked her to sit next to him.

"I've been so busy organizing this month that I haven't had any free time at all. You must be tired of staying at home!"

Zuo Zhizhi nodded. "I originally wanted my mother to take me out to burn incense, or even go to a restaurant for a meal, but she said that things are turbulent right now and insisted that I stay at home the whole time."

Zuo Zhizhi knew that it was not a good time to go out, but it was really boring to stay at home all the time.

Besides, they were not going anywhere else, they just wanted to go to the temple on the mountain to pray, but their family, who were always cautious, completely disagreed.

It took a lot of effort for Zuo Qing'an to pack up the things in the palace and move to Meihua Villa with Prince Xian. If it weren't for her invitation, he would probably still be staying at home now!

Zuo Qing'an reached out and touched Zuo Zhizhi's face, complaining softly, but with a smile in his eyes, "Okay, I know you like to go out and play!"

"Unless there are special circumstances, we will live in the villa. Although it is a bit far from the imperial city, it has a quiet environment!"

Zuo Zhizhi nodded continuously. This was the first time she had seen such an ancient-style manor in her life, and she really liked it.

So he said without hesitation, "I think this place is much better than the house I lived in before. If it were me, I would also like to live here for the rest of my life!"

Zuo Qing'an shook his head gently, but did not let Zuo Zhizhi notice. Instead, he turned around and hugged her, "If you like, you can stay here. There is also a villa at the foot of the mountain, which is also an asset of the palace. It also includes the dowry my parents gave me. You can live in whichever one you like!"

When Zuo Zhizhi heard this, her eyes lit up unconsciously.

There is such a good thing!
