The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 167
After several people washed up, they put the dirty clothes in the basin to wash. Zheng Xiong asked his servant to go out and buy some sets of clothes for several people to change.

After changing the clothes, he felt much refreshed immediately, and he became more refreshed. Mr. Pianpianjia does not exist, who told Zheng Hu to have a pockmarked face, but he finally gained a bit of momentum.

Zheng Hu followed Zheng Qi to take care of the family's small shop, and it was quite rewarding. Now Zheng Xiongguan is doing well, and there are many people who come to curry favor. Even if he doesn't accept gifts, he still has a bit of superiority, and his momentum is okay.

Maybe being robbed and begging all the way, and being with Zheng Xiong also forced to keep some face, maybe there are these factors.

After settling them down, Zheng Xiong left the inn. The journey was really hard, so he asked them to rest.

The next day, Zheng Xiong came to the inn again, had breakfast with a few people, and talked about business.

As the date of the marriage approached, Zheng Xiong also became anxious.

I have been recovering from my injuries these days, and July is very busy, so the dowry has not yet been paid, and there are two more links to be paid close attention to.

Now that Zheng Hu is here, I don't have to worry about getting angry about this matter, and I can relax a lot by letting Zheng Hu clean up.

"Brother, you are here, and I will leave the rest to you."

"Yingxian bought a house, mainly for his younger brothers to live in, and he may not be able to come here a few times in the future. You can clean it up and give the dowry."

"The date of getting married is set on August [-]th, hurry up, the happiness of my brother's lower body depends on you."

Zheng Hu focused on the important point, put Zheng Xiong's other words aside, and paid more attention to Zheng Xiong's beating.

"What's going on, who beat you?"

Zheng Xiong replied lightly, he didn't say much about being beaten, his arms couldn't hold his thighs, and he couldn't avenge himself.

"Wei Guogong fought, what do you think?"

"No, I'll just ask, just now you said that you will pay a bride price, right? Do you have any money?"

Wei Guogong called, so it's fine, Zheng Hu quickly changed the subject and asked about the money Zheng Xiong had prepared.

Fortunately, I have made some preparations and borrowed some money, instead of waiting for the family to give it to me. Now I have some confidence.

"I still have 100 taels of money. I just borrowed it. I also borrowed 50 taels to buy a house. The magistrate of Ying County also borrowed [-] taels. You can figure it out. You have to pay it back when you go back."

After receiving the money bag from Zheng Xiong, Zheng Hu seemed to have more confidence, money is a man's courage, he has money in his hands, he doesn't panic, he has had enough of begging, now he has a great comfort in his heart when he gets the money.

Although it is not my own, it is also a pleasure to look at, and it is even more cute and tight in the hand, and I can't put it down.

Regardless of Zheng Hu's appearance of a miser and his expression of post-robbery syndrome, after explaining these things, Zheng Xiong left the inn and left the little official with Zheng Hu.

It feels good to let go of the shopkeeper, and Zheng Hu has some experience, and with the help of the little official, he should be able to handle this matter!

Zheng Hu took the little official and a few of his attendants to buy supplies for the dowry in the customs. Fortunately, the little official was familiar with the situation in Yanmen, so he only reminded him to buy some things that were difficult to buy in Ying County.

There are not many things, and it is good for a few people to hold them, and it is not too cumbersome.

In addition, the little official got a few horses from other places, so it will be even better.

Just looking at the fast horse in front of them, Zheng Hu and a few followers stared at him, not knowing what to do.

"Well, we haven't ridden a horse before, please teach me."

Well, it is not difficult for me who is close to the prairie, but for Zheng Hu who came all the way from the south, it may be really difficult.

After all, horses have always existed as strategic materials, and it is somewhat difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with, which is understandable.

"Okay, let's communicate with the horses first, feed them some food, as long as you don't reject you, you need to practice more, and I can't help you much."

After tossing the old assembly again, a few people rode crookedly on their horses and embarked on the journey to Ying County.

In the evening, Fang Cai wandered to Ying County and entered the city just before the city gate was closed.

A small official led the way and found the house that Zheng Xiong bought.

He slapped the door twice, and a question came from inside the door.

"Who?"

"I'm Zheng Xiong's eldest brother, open the door."

There was no sound inside the door, and after a while, footsteps were heard, and the door was opened.

Wei Hong, who no longer pretended to appear in front of everyone, was really amazing, and it took a long time for several people to recover.

"Well, I am Zheng Xiong's eldest brother, you are Wei Hong!"

"Yes, I have seen my brother."

Although he was skeptical when he came over, but seeing the little official beside him, he was relieved and saluted respectfully.

"Brother came from afar, please come in."

The procedure has come to this point, it is very difficult to regret the marriage, and when she is about to marry, Wei Hong directly calls Zheng Hu "big brother" and leads a few people in.

In the main room, Wei Hong served tea and waited for Zheng Hu, the man's elder, to ask questions.

Sighing Zheng Xiong's good fortune, Zheng Hu took a sip of tea, and then asked.

"Next, the dowry will be issued. You can see what the rules are. Send it to your original home or just send it here."

"But it's up to the elder brother to decide."

It's okay to be the master, but it's also difficult for him to do it himself. From a young official, Zheng Hu also knew the situation of Wei Hong's family.

Absolute poverty is not enough to describe, I really have to think about it, before I can think of one, two, three, there is another visit from outside the door.

It turned out that it was the county magistrate of Ying County who made nonsense. He heard that Zheng Xiong's boss had arrived, so he looked for him, but he didn't know where he was free.

As usual, Wei Hong offered a cup of tea and handed it to Hu Chao. Hu Chao looked around, and there was a small official beside him, confirming Zheng Hu's identity.

"Your Excellency is Zheng Tiling's eldest brother?"

"That's right, I haven't asked your honorable name yet."

"My name is Hu Yao. I'm the same year as Zheng Tiling. Now Tian is here to pay a special visit as the magistrate of Ying County."

I don't have such a big face, it's fake to visit me, but it's true to want to build a relationship. I saw this kind of people a lot when I was in Nanjing City.

"My younger brother mentioned to me that I was taken care of by adults here. I am very grateful."

"Don't be an adult, just call me nonsense, it's all a matter of raising your hands, don't dare to bother to take it to your heart."

"It should be, brother-in-law also borrowed ten taels of silver from Mr. Hu, thank you so much."

"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter. It's important to get married. I'm here to see if there is anything that needs help. Just ask."

Enthusiasm is a good thing, even though it is aimed at Zheng Xiong, it is still useful, and Wei Hong's little brother still counts on Hu Yao's care.

Hearing nonsense words, Zheng Hu was not polite, and threw out the problem at hand.

"One thing is a bit difficult. My sister-in-law, who has never been married, lives outside the city. It is not easy to accept this dowry in the past, and it is not good to come here. It is a bit difficult. I wonder if Mr. Hu can do anything?"
