Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper

Chapter 11: get married in seven days

When he knew the date of marriage, he was dumbfounded.

"Second brother, you and Brother Zhou are set to get married in seven days. Your father and I will arrange the banquet. You don't need to entertain guests. You have to come by yourself to pick up the marriage. Matchmaker Zhang will tell you the details in advance on the wedding day."

The Wei family hired a carriage to take Mother Wei and the others directly into the county seat. Wei Cheng got off the carriage before the city gate, and Mother Wei stopped him before leaving.

Wei's mother went on nagging, "I'm dissatisfied with Brother Zhou, but you like it, so live a good life in the future!"

After Wei Cheng heard about the date of marriage, he was stunned!

The wedding is seven days away? !

That's not on the eighth day!

Wei Cheng wanted to scold himself.

Originally planned to marry a daughter-in-law after earning a good fortune after getting engaged.

Get married in seven days!

What can be done? !

Can only try to do the best.

- What kind of cheating is this!

Fortunately, he didn't have to take care of the banquet and receiving guests, he could just concentrate on arranging the house and picking up his wife.

But considering the current environment of his home, it is airy, dilapidated and dilapidated, and he doesn't have much silver left. The house cannot be remodeled, but it must be tidy, at least not too shabby on the surface. Wronging his wife made people mistakenly think that he married a poor and settled family.

He doesn't understand, what should be prepared before the wedding, and what should be paid attention to... Waiting for Zhang Matchmaker to come... It's better for him to prepare first.

After much deliberation, Wei Cheng decided to find someone to help.

The only people he can find are Wei Lei and Wei Yuan, his good brothers!

The two were approached, and when Wei Yuan said that he was engaged to a brother and was going to get married, they both cried out in surprise.

"What, you want to get married—?!"

Still with a brother!

"Yes!" Wei Cheng replied with a strong tone.

"When?!" The two shouted at the same time again!

"......Seven days later." This time, Wei Cheng's voice was weak.

"..."

When Wei Lei and Wei Yuan heard Wei Cheng's answer that Wei Cheng really wanted to get married, they didn't know what expression to make.

"Chengzi, your speed is good enough. In just a few days, you are going to get married." Wei Yuan sat down on his buttocks, and it took some walking distance from the village.

They thought Wei Cheng was looking for them for something, but they didn't expect to tell them that he was going to get married.

"Chengzi, you are awesome!" Wei Lei also sincerely admired him, this speed is indeed good enough, within less than ten days, he has found a good partner and is about to get married.

Wei Cheng said directly without politeness: "I'm looking for you, I need your help."

"Tell me, why don't you help me, you're welcome between brothers." Wei Yuan patted his chest, assuring him.

"It's useful, just ask." Wei Lei sat on the chair and said.

"Thank you, Leizi, Yuanzi."

Both of them agreed to anything without asking for help, Wei Cheng sincerely thanked them.

"Thank you, thank you, you haven't said what you want to help!"

Wei Yuan waved his hand, with that tone, no matter what Chengzi wanted to help, he would do it.

"Picking up, I don't know what preparations are needed for picking up!"

"..."

Pick up?

Wei Lei and Wei Yuan don't know either!

This time, the three big men were stumped.

There was a hole in the courtyard wall, and the yellow soil fell down little by little, and fell on the ground to form a pile of soil the size of a stone. Three big men sat in the courtyard of Wei Cheng's house, a little downcast.

What should be prepared before picking up the bride, and the three big men are not married, how can they understand these.

"Yes, I can ask my mother." Wei Yuan thought of a way.

"Yes, there is Aunt Lu!" Wei Cheng was a little dizzy before, forgetting about Aunt Lu, "Yuanzi, leave this to you."

"No problem." Wei Yuan took things over.

"Is there anything else to help?" Wei Lei asked.

Yes, how could it not be, there is one thing, he is alone, but he is too bachelor.

"Pick up the kiss, you want to pick up the kiss with me."

Wei Cheng's only two friends, Wei Lei and Wei Yuan, have never gotten along with other cousins.

In a word, they are not familiar!

Wei Cheng and Wei Lei responded to this matter.

After talking about the business, we can chat a few words about the casual things.

Wei Yuan also looked at Wei Cheng curiously, "Chengzi, how do you know each other when you marry my brother?" When you say you are married, you will be married. When will you meet a brother.

Wei Lei sipped his wine and asked, "You're getting married in a hurry?"

"Blind date!" Thinking of Zhou Yuan, Wei Cheng smiled.

"The wedding date was decided by my mother and my father-in-law. I wasn't there at the time, so it can't be changed." When the date is set, he has considered whether to change the wedding date, but if it is changed, it will definitely affect Zhou Yuan. If there is an influence, he will not change it.

Both Wei Lei and Wei Cheng understand!

The orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the orders of the parents, should be accepted urgently!

Wei Lei and Wei Cheng didn't ask any more questions. It's not easy to ask too much about this, two big men. If Wei Cheng wants their help, he will definitely help.

Wei Yuan returned home and went directly to his mother.

"Mother, Chengzi is going to get married in seven days, what should I prepare for the wedding?"

Aunt Lu stopped picking vegetables, she was surprised, Wei Cheng wants to get married? Frowning, Wei Cheng's marriage was not arranged by the Wei family, so why ask her?

However, thinking that the Wei family didn't care much about Wei Cheng in the past, they lived in a county where they lived and wore well, and Wei Cheng worked all day in the countryside alone and ate bad vegetables. The son takes it seriously, and after being separated, he might not even care.

Otherwise, Wei Cheng would not let her son look for her, please leave the matter to her.

Previously, her family accepted Wei Cheng's favor and rented two acres of land under his name. The family life has more hope, the family members are full of energy, and their work is getting more and more vigorous.

Aunt Lu is very happy to do a small favor, and she puts down the work in hand, and tells the details about picking up the marriage.

"In the countryside, you usually drive an oxcart to meet your relatives. If you don't have a oxcart, you can walk to meet your relatives. It's going to be lively and lively, so you need to go with more people, keep your hands loose, and prepare some wedding candies for adults and children who join in the fun. The meaning is It’s just a matter of meaning, you don’t need to prepare too much, and you can also prepare some Xiqian, which will be used to pick up people at the door......”

"What about the banquet and guests? Chengzi didn't ask?" Aunt Lu asked.

"Chengzi didn't say that." Wei Yuan scratched his forehead, and Chengzi asked him to ask about picking up the marriage, but didn't mention anything else.

Aunt Lu didn't ask any more questions. Mother Wei probably had an arrangement and told her son, "Cheng Zi is getting married, you have to help me out, don't be lazy."

"Mom, your son, I will."

"You tell Chengzi that if you need auntie's help, you're welcome."

"Row!"

The next day, Wei Yuan told Wei Cheng the details of what his mother said.

Prepare the oxcart, wedding candy, wedding money, and a few more people to pick up the bride, and it's so lively, Wei Yuan said bluntly: "Chengzi, don't worry about the one who picks up the bride, I'll call all the cousins ​​at home , I will help you to pick up the relatives, there are so many people, it is absolutely lively!"

There are six or seven of Wei Yuan's cousins.

Wei Yuan made his own decision without asking Wei Cheng. Knowing that Wei Cheng had no one around him, he was kind enough to help. If you're thinking too much, it's not that you mistakenly think that you are looking for someone to eat and drink for nothing.

If Aunt Lu heard that her son was so careless and helped Wei Cheng make arrangements casually, she would definitely beat him up. She would not pay attention to this heartless son.

In Wei Cheng's eyes, eating and drinking are trivial matters, not only do he not think about it, but he thinks that Wei Yuan did a good job and helped him a lot.

"Thank you Yuanzi, I will stay for a glass of wedding wine that day!"

The matter of picking up the relatives has been clarified, and the next step is to buy items for the marriage, decorate the home, replace all the furniture in the new house, and find someone to repair the house, and repair the holes in the courtyard wall.

"Yuanzi, do you know a mason who needs to repair the courtyard wall and ventilation areas?"

For new house furniture, look for Uncle Zhao, a carpenter.

"You don't need to look for it. Leizi and I will know it. We learned it when we were doing odd jobs. Don't worry, let Leizi and me do this."

"Okay! I'll leave it to you and Leizi. I'll buy anything I need."

Wei Cheng had no choice but to give a thumbs up in his heart, saying that he would do one job and one job, but in order to make a living, country men had to know a little bit about everything, so as not to be afraid of not getting odd jobs.

Wei Cheng went to Carpenter Zhao and said that he wanted to customize a dressing table, wardrobe and bed.

"Congratulations!" Carpenter Zhao congratulated Wei Cheng in advance when he heard that Wei Cheng was getting married.

"Thank you Uncle Zhao, come and have a wedding wine when you are free on the wedding day."

"Uncle Zhao, I will definitely be there!" Carpenter Zhao agreed with a smile.

Carpenter Zhao made one of the blueprints for the handcarts that Wei Cheng gave before and put them on sale at the door. There are so many people who are interested, and there are several orders to go out. When these handcarts are sold, the cost of buying the blueprints will be recovered. It hasn't been put on sale in the county town yet, if it is sold in the county town, it will definitely not be less than the one sold in the market.

When Wei Cheng came, Carpenter Zhao greeted him warmly.

Wei Cheng was going to get married, he would definitely go to drink a glass of wedding wine to show his face.

Carpenter Zhao's shop also has ready-made furniture. Carpenter Zhao took people to look around, and he would give the best price for what style he needed. Wei Cheng received Carpenter Zhao's kindness, and after thanking him, he didn't like it after a round.

It's not a manual problem, but the style is not simple and elegant enough, nor is it practical enough.

Wei Cheng asked Carpenter Zhao to borrow paper and charcoal pens, and made changes according to the ready-made styles, brushed the nibs, and drew the style he wanted in a short time.

As a talented student, painting is not a problem for Wei Cheng.

The room at home is not big, and I customized a wooden bed with a 1.6-meter shelf. The wardrobe is a three-compartment cabinet. Considering that the clothes are long gowns now, the left cabinet is a hanging type, and the middle cabinet is used for small personal clothing, which is used for drawers and formats. The right cabinet is divided into three layers. Dressing tables in Carpenter Zhao’s shop are all simple, with a bronze mirror on the top and horizontal shelves underneath. Wei Cheng added some box cabinets to the top of the dressing table, and made storage cabinets underneath.

Carpenter Zhao, he looked at the blueprint and thought it was good to add storage function to the dressing table, but he was curious about the design of the wardrobe. The first compartment turned out to be a hanging type. It is so long, how many layers of clothes do you have to fold, is it not troublesome?

"Cheng boy, what's so special about this wardrobe?"

Wei Cheng thought for a while, drew the clothes hanger, and drew the clothes on the clothes hanger, so it was easy to understand and easy to explain.

"This is a clothes hanger. Putting clothes on the clothes hanger can be put directly into the hanging wardrobe."

This kind of hanging is convenient for tidying up, and the clothes don't need to be hung on the wooden frame casually, and the clothes are hung neatly, and there are no creases in the folded clothes.

Carpenter Zhao pondered, it is very convenient to place clothes in this way, and the clothes hanger is very useful.

I don't know if the cost is high or not. The cost is too high for most people to afford it, and it is not responsible for making clothes hangers. It is easy for others to learn.

He told Wei Cheng what he meant, and he wanted the blueprint on purpose.

Wei Cheng murmured, playing with a few strokes, and several different styles of clothes hung on the paper. He analyzed: "The clothes hang is suitable for every household, and the rough work is a few pennies. If the family intends to buy it, there will be about ten of them. The Seiko-style ones are sold to Fuguimen, about 20 Wen each. Fuguimen can’t buy one, they can afford it, and they are willing to buy it. Rich families are not short of money, and a family may have hundreds of them.”

Wei Cheng gave him a suggestion: "Uncle Zhao, you can sell the clothes hangers to the Fugui portal first, and the wealthy portal likes to show off their new gadgets. Anyone who is interested, they will come to the door to make an appointment."

"Fugui Portal attaches great importance to privacy. Generally, it will not casually show clothes hangers to outsiders. It will take a while for colleagues to get samples, but before revealing, they can basically get enough orders on Fugui Portal, and then send Clothes hangers and wealthy households are using this news to spread the news, and ordinary people don’t follow suit and want to buy.”

Carpenter Zhao patted his thigh excitedly, "By the way, I received an order a few days ago. It was from Jin's family in Nancheng, the inner city of the county. It is a well-known family in the county. His daughter wants to order a dowry, and he wants me to make a new style for them. Look, I'm having a headache, how do I get this big order, with this new style drawn by you, recommending this wooden cabinet and clothes hanger to the Jin family, it's absolutely sure."

"Uncle Zhao, have you ever thought about putting a sample model in the display, putting a set of sample clothes inside, stacking them in categories, putting socks and personal clothing in a set of styles and putting them in a drawer, and anyone who comes to order can do it See it. Let’s make a picture book with several different styles for customers to choose from.”

Carpenter Zhao was tempted, but these would cost a lot of money, "Chengzi, Uncle Zhao is shameless once, I will take back the blueprints, and I have to discuss this matter with my son."

Wei Cheng directly gave the blueprints to Carpenter Zhao. He spent so much time analyzing and helping Carpenter Zhao. He also hoped that he could buy the blueprints, so that Carpenter Zhao could see that the profit margins of clothes hangers were large, and he could get more money for the blueprints he sold. His advice was simple and effortless.

As for the blueprints, carpenter Zhao is not afraid of being repudiated. As a modern person, this is a small thing. Those who dare to cheat him will not be the one who cheated him in the end.

Carpenter Zhao said that his custom-made furniture can be completed within four days, so he made it in advance.

There is still no deposit required for things.

Furniture ordered.

Home to be fixed.

Next, home furnishings, daily necessities, home rice, daily necessities, oil and salt all have to be added.

Busy, Wei Cheng is also busy and happy!
