Chapter 169: Marriage

History does not depend on human will, although Zhang Hanqing's series of actions slightly accelerated the timetable for Zhang Zuolin to control the Northeast, but some things in history still moved forward according to its trajectory.

In the canonical history, they should have gotten married in this year.

Since Zhang Hanqing "reluctantly" agreed to marry Yu Fengzhi as his wife, Zhang Zuolin began to prepare for the wedding. The date has been confirmed at home, agreeing with his proposal of August 8. This day is Tuesday, the tenth day of the seventh lunar month, which is a good day, because the yellow calendar says that this day is "it is advisable to pray for blessings, ask for children, make covenants, and get married."

Zhang Xueliang, the owner of Zhang Hanqing's shell, is the eldest son of the Zhang family, who lived in the countryside with his mother when he was a child and suffered a lot. When he was 11 years old, his biological mother died again, so Zhang Zuolin loved him very much. Zhang Hanqing's dedication in the past year, especially the burst of flesh and blood connection with himself at a critical juncture some time ago, made Zhang Zuolin even more difficult about his marriage. "The emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son", and the future of this Fengtian will have to fall on him. There is a way that the Qi family rules the country and the world, and if you don't become a family, you will never be an adult, right?

It's not okay if you don't get married. Marriage is a sign of a man's maturity. It is difficult to compare, the young and unfamiliar with personnel, or the deputy commander-in-chief of the bandit army will really be subjugated by tens of thousands of brave generals.

In order to convince the public, in order to show that he has matured, and for the adult mentality of his thirties, his young body is no longer tormented at night. A few days before getting married, Zhang Hanqing hurriedly returned from the front line under the urging and blessings of the generals.

The moment when they met was really ** and grand. A few days before the wedding, the major newspapers in Mukden pre-published photos of Zhang Hanqing and Yu Fengzhi. The media propaganda undoubtedly contributed to people's attention to this wedding, and the officials, soldiers, gentlemen, and ordinary people of all Fengtian focused their anticipatory attention on the Grand Marshal's Mansion, and people were looking forward to this day.

On the 8th, the sky was just hazy, and the sound of "firecrackers" came from every household in Fengtian City, and the ping pong rang non-stop, as if they were celebrating the great joy of Zhang Dashuai's family. In fact, this day is the beginning of autumn, and every family is chopping dumpling filling, preparing to make dumplings, which is called "grabbing autumn fat" in the traditional customs of northern China.

On the day of everyone's holiday, the whole world celebrates together, and it has always been the favorite of the Chinese people. Don't you see, the May Day, National Day, and Spring Festival in later generations, wedding cars, and hotels are hard to find?

After eating the dumplings, many people turned out their best clothes at home, dressed neatly, and walked towards the Great South Gate of Fengtian City one after another.

The Dashuai Mansion, located on Tongtian Street in the Great South Gate, is also dressed in festive costumes today. The word "eye" is shaped into the quadrangle courtyard, the door has "Xi", the pillars are covered with red, and the corridor is hung with color. Firecrackers were spread on the trees on both sides of the south gate, east gate, and west gate of the Shuai Mansion, and outside the gate wall. Two columns of energetic military bands stood on both sides of the main entrance, and the pleasant welcome music spread the majesty of the Grand Marshal's Mansion to all corners of Fengtian City. Two red ribbons fall to the ground from both sides of the large shadow wall with ridges from the eaves, and the word "Hongxi" inlaid on the white marble in the middle of the shadow wall is particularly dazzling.

The first courtyard behind the shadow wall is the place to receive visitors, and a bright red carpet spreads from the gate of the Shuai Mansion to the front of the main house. On both sides of the main door, a pair of stone lions had red silk around their necks, and a large red flower made of silk fluttered on their chests. The 1,600-square-meter courtyard is crowded with Chinese and foreign guests attending the wedding early in the morning.

The wedding was held in the second courtyard house. The second courtyard is more spacious than the first courtyard, it is rectangular, the square brick is paved, it is surrounded by cloisters, 30 pillars are hung with colorful palace lanterns above, and there is a congratulatory couplet given by dignitaries and dignitaries under each palace lamp. The longest couplet is made of red silk cloth and falls from the top of the carved gatehouse in front of the main house, with 36 large golden characters written on the red silk:

One day, the autumn sun sows beauty to congratulate the Kanto generals and tigers into a good couple;

Thousands of miles of osmanthus are fragrant and celebrate the fate of the north phoenix.

Facing the carved gatehouse is the door of the pendulum instrument, the door of the pendulum instrument is a openwork pendulum top ornament gatehouse, this door is integrated with the 7-meter brick carved high wall of the courtyard between one and two courtyards, it is the place where Zhang Zuolin greets the distinguished guests when the ceremony is held.

On this day, the door of the pendulum flower instrument is newly decorated, the most conspicuous is the big red palace lamp above the door, which matches the colorful palace lamps on the 30 pillars, forming a three-dimensional picture of the stars holding the moon.

There were many guests, and the high-ranking military and political officials of Fengtian City, together with Zhang Hanqing's "old friend" Japanese Shigeru Yoshida, all cheered on the scene. Although several commanders of the Guards Brigade were unable to come in person to suppress bandits on the front line, they also asked people to give gifts. Guo Songling's "Lianli Branches and Flowers, and the Phoenix Amphibious on the Pillow" is quite level, and the bride's "phoenix" is embedded in the couplet; Han Linchun was more ridiculous, and even sent a painting of "Insight into people's livelihood, housing and seeking public security in the country", at this time, entering the cave room can also be involved in governing the country, there is really no way to take him, who let him call himself a rough man.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that General Cai Yicai, who once served as the overseer and governor of Sichuan and is now being treated in Japan, also sent congratulatory telegrams from thousands of miles away, including Lianyun's "beautiful women are embarrassed to untie their belts, and the groom is smiling proudly and blowing out the lamp", which makes people laugh and laugh proudly. It is said that there are such witty works in the name of General Cai, but it also shows the depth of the relationship between the two on the one hand.

"Yiguo IKEA new women, can be literate and martial arts good men", this is a pair of happy couplets sent by Xiaofengxian Tuoren. Who Xiao Fengxian is, the people in the Northeast are not very clear, but Zhang Hanqing is still very happy, at least expressing his feelings. What does it mean, only Zhang Hanqing can understand it, right?

Yuan Kewen, who doesn't like the ordinary, also sent someone to send a couplet: "Talented and beautiful". Yuan Kewen's words are still so good, Zhang Hanqing thought.

In addition to the celebration, it was not without discord, at least Feng Delin, an important member of Fengtian Province, did not attend in person, and only sent his eldest son Feng Yong as a representative, of course, the congratulatory gift was still given. Of course, Zhang Hanqing didn't force it, and even happily toasted Feng Yong with sugar. At the same age, he still has to suffer for a long time, this is a prank.

The day has come. At 11 o'clock in the morning, the firecrackers were lit, and when the bride and groom passed through the door of the hanging flower instrument, the base of the big red palace lamp was pulled apart by the ribbon, and the petals made of colored paper in the palace lamp were fluttering and sprinkled, just falling on a pair of newlyweds. When everyone present saw this scene, they were stunned, and it took a few seconds before applause erupted.

Accompanied by melodious music, Zhang Hanqing and Yu Fengzhi walked to the two super-long congratulatory couplets and stopped, turning to face the guests. On such a solemn occasion, the groom wore suits and leather shoes, which made them even more handsome; The bride is dressed in a white veil, and she is glamorous. This made the crowd of people watching the ceremony exclaim, it was really a rare match made in heaven, talented and beautiful. In the crowd, you can also find the red peony quietly hiding behind the crowd like a fascination, and Yu Yifan, as a bridesmaid, is also fascinated, leisurely holding his pink cheeks and looking at a pair of beautiful people to have a spring dream. The focused look and the beautiful image of the girl are eye-catching.

The tedious ceremony was carried out amid bursts of applause. Careful people found that the expressions of Zhang's father and son had their own characteristics: Zhang Zuolin's face was rarely happy, which was happier than when he was the overseer and later the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces; Zhang Hanqing finally got his long-cherished wish, and naturally the groom did a good job.

When "worshipping heaven and earth" and "worshipping the high hall", Zhang Hanqing gently squeezed Yu Fengzhi's hand and kept playing. In front of everyone's eyes, Yu Fengzhi didn't dare to withdraw his hand, but he was so ashamed that he almost lost his temper, when he was "husband and wife worshiping", he bent down and bowed half a beat slower than Zhang Hanqing for the first time, and when he bowed and got up, he quickly made up for it, but he was accidentally faster, and half a beat faster than Zhang Hanqing. So the master of ceremonies smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry for the bride, it's still early to enter the cave room." The crowd burst into laughter, adding to their joy.

After a long day, it is finally time to hold the lights, and it is time for the newcomers who have been tired from the day to rest. Zhang Hanqing breathed a long sigh in his heart: "Fuck, it's like crazy to watch your classmates get married, it turns out that getting married before liberation is even more tiring!" The big and small servants left one after another, and Chunni and an old Kanto grandmother who was the main parent quietly closed the door of the new house after serving a couple of newlyweds and eating longevity noodles, and only a couple of newlyweds were left in the new house.

Zhang Hanqing was suddenly at a loss.

He has worked less than 5 years after graduating from graduate school, although his age is quite old, and he doesn't dare to say that he is as good as jade, and he stole incense some time ago, but it has become a luxury to talk about marriage in a formal way: it's not that he doesn't want to start, but he doesn't have a chance to start at all. When I finally saved some money and thought that I could have a happy relationship, I accidentally crossed over. After that, there was no chance to fall in love at all, the marriage had already been decided, and he had a wife directly, who was called "wife" at that time. History is such a wonderful thing.

After the initial shock, Zhang Hanqing remembered the good fortune of Yu Fengzhi in history. From a purely men's point of view, she should be said to be a great woman as well. Back then, she took the initiative to terminate the marriage contract with Zhang Xueliang, so that Zhang Xueliang could marry Miss Zhao Si, who had been with him for half his life, just out of gratitude to her beloved, and fulfilled her beloved with her own sacrifice! Her intelligence and courage are really above Zhao Yidi (Miss Zhao Si). In history, the love between Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si has long been a well-known story, Zhao Yidi gave Zhang Xueliang the same love for many years, and Yu Fengzhi gave Zhang Xueliang career support and family love. In her body, the dedication of outstanding women is truly reflected, because the emotions she gives Zhang Xueliang are deeper, which is the love of his wife, sister and brother, and friend.

Yu Fengzhi wore a red hijab on his head, and according to custom, he opened it, which was the groom's patent.

In these years, the wife and concubine system is still in fashion, and the cheap father also said that you can marry a concubine by yourself after marriage. According to the descendants of the generation, it is possible to find the "second wife" in a grand manner. However, out of respect for Feng Zhi, a traditional woman, since he was determined to become her legal "husband", he still decided to fulfill his "obligation" to be a husband, and in his bones, Zhang Hanqing is also a very "traditional" man.

Although he is 4 years younger than Yu Fengzhi, his mental age is much older than her. On the wedding night, Zhang Hanqing suppressed the apprehension and curiosity in his heart, approached Feng Zhi's side step by step, and lifted the red hijab with slightly trembling hands.
