In Lai'an County, whether it is a commoner, a merchant or a squire, everyone is smiling, because the prodigy of Lai'an County Ling Shang Yu is married today.
For this county magistrate, all the people are admired in their hearts, no one can govern a county at the age of sixteen to be so prosperous, and also defeat the Yuan army in front, the most important merit is to make Lai'an County have enough food, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which has undergone fundamental changes in only half a year, which can be called rare in ancient and modern times.
"Lord Shang is engaged today, I heard that it is the second lady of the original first merchant Lu in Quanzhou Mansion, she and Lord Shang are really a match made in heaven!"
"Yes! Lord Shang loves the people like a son, so that we can enjoy such a life in this chaotic time, he is really a great official! ”
"Have I seen that Miss Lu? A few days ago, I also went to our shop to buy some brocade forging and marriage fat gouache, that appearance is really the national color and fragrance, worthy of the richest lady in the world's richest family. ”
"I heard that Marshal Wing is also going to send someone to congratulate Lord Shang on his engagement! I don't know if it's true or not. After mentioning Zhu Yuanzhang, all the people showed a more respectful look at the same time.
If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang to take it from the Yuan army, these people would still be living in the shadow of boundless oppression and death, so they would be so reverent.
The door of the backyard of the county government is open to the outside, and people from more than ten towns and more than 100 villages in Lai'an County have come here to send congratulatory gifts, although most of them are mountain goods and some ordinary things, but it still makes people feel that Shang Yu is loved by the people.
The most taboo in the Chuzhou army is to accept bribes and ask for bribes, this is the rule that Zhu Yuanzhang set up at the beginning of the army, if there is a violation of the rules, it is Shang Yu who also abides by this very much, and specially posted a striking notice outside the door, prohibiting all money from entering the door, which also makes Shang Yu more popular with the people.
"Mother-in-law is on top, please bow to your son-in-law!" Shang Yu knelt down on his knees in a scribe's robe and kowtowed respectfully to Li Yanhong, his heart was full of excitement at this time.
As long as Lu Weixuan's whereabouts can be found in the future, he can successfully marry Lu Wan, this time it is not a wedding, Lu Wan has already taken refuge in another courtyard.
And Shang Meishi sat next to Li Yanhong, looked at his son with a pleased smile, and thought in his heart: "I didn't expect that my little feather grew up in the mountains, and I can actually serve as a county magistrate, and I will marry Lu Wan, the second lady, in the future, this is really unimaginable!" ”
"Virtuous son-in-law, get up quickly, you don't have to make this big gift!" For Shang Yu, Li Yanhong is also more and more fond of it, if Shang Yu's talent is really used properly, it will inevitably become famous in the Chuzhou Righteous Army, and the future will be limitless.
And the most important thing about Shang Yu is that he is kind-hearted, Lu Wan is with him Li Yanhong is also very relieved, although Li Yanhong's hair has become much whiter recently, and her face is a little old, but she has already regarded Shang Yu as a son-in-law, and she no longer has the same opinion as in the ship from Hangzhou to Suzhou.
"Yes! Shang Yu obeyed. After Shang Yu finished speaking, he slowly got up.
"Young Master! This is the old lady prepared for you to order a personal token, please give it to Mrs. Li. Mu 13 was beside Shang Yu at this time and said that he was not selected in the secret soldiers, but stayed in the county government to help Shang Yu count the grain harvest, but at this time he held a wooden plate covered with a red cloth and handed it to Shang Yu.
Shang Yu nodded and took the wooden plate from Mu Thirteen's hand. After opening the red cloth, I saw a half-moon-shaped bright silver ornament appear in the wooden plate, and there was a hole in it, which was pierced by a gold chain.
"Xiao Yu, this is the ancestral heirloom of the merchant, only the eldest daughter-in-law can have it, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, your father gave it to his mother as a dowry gift back then, and at this moment you will hand over this thing to your mother-in-law, so that this family affair will be settled." Shang Meishi said with a red face, looking at her face and appearance, she was much younger than usual.
"Yes!" Shang Yu had never seen this ornament, but he felt that the light flickering on the half-moon-shaped ornament was a little familiar, but at this time, he wanted to give this object to Li Yanhong's hands, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he walked towards Li Yanhong.
Before and after Li Yanhong, Shang Yu knelt on one knee and said loudly: "Please mother-in-law accept my merchant token!" It's just that after he finished speaking, he didn't see any reaction from Li Yanhong, and he couldn't help but look up and peek at Li Yanhong.
Li Yanhong's face turned pale when she saw this bright silver ornament, and when Shang Yu knelt in front of her, her eyes were fixed on this ornament without saying a word, and there was a look of disbelief in her eyes.
"Mother-in-law, please accept this token!" Shang Yu said aloud again, he had a strange expression in his heart.
Li Yanhong came to her senses a little, and her stiff expression melted instantly, but the look in her eyes was even more strange.
I saw Li Yanhong take out an object from the embroidered bag on her waist, and after holding it in her hand, she asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Xiao Yu, do you think these two halves can be merged together?" ”
The people around the people who were watching the ceremony were a little puzzled as to why Li Yanhong did this, because they were all gathered on both sides of the door of the hall, and only Shang Mei's face changed suddenly when they saw the thing in Li Yanhong's hand.
"Mother-in-law, how can you have a significant other?" Shang Meishi asked in surprise.
I saw Li Yanhong sigh and said: "This moon is the treasure of my Minyue royal family, legend has it that the ancestors and sworn brothers were divided into half a month, but the other half has not appeared for thousands of years, I didn't expect it to appear in the hands of your merchants, this is really providence!" ”
"It seems that the heavens have signaled that Xiao Yu and Xiao Wan will become husband and wife, and they actually gathered together the two half-moon pendants scattered thousands of years ago." Li Yanhong shook her head as she spoke, put the half of the moon pendant in her hand into the plate, and picked up the moon pendant that was originally placed on the plate and put it in her hand.
"Mother-in-law, there is such a strange thing, Xiao Yu is really knowledgeable!" Shang Yu was happy in his heart after hearing this, the world's most important marriage, thousands of years have not been together in the moon and Pei reunion, and it was when Shang Yu and Lu Wan were engaged, this must be God's arrangement.
At this moment, I only heard a loud laugh outside: "Brother Shang Yuxian, is the eldest brother late, if you can't catch up with your engagement, it's a pity!" ”
I heard someone outside shouting again: "The left deputy marshal has arrived!" Please let the old folks. ”
For a while, all the people watching the ceremony separated and moved out of the way to form a pathway, because they all heard very clearly that Zhu Yuanzhang, the de facto ruler of Chuzhou, had come here.
The people have spread the news that Zhu Yuanzhang will become Marshal Wing, but the army still calls him Deputy Marshal Zuo, because he has not yet taken down Hezhou and Jiqing Mansion, but Han Lin'er has already spread this name, and its purpose is to estranged Zhu Yuanzhang and Guo Tianxu's brothers, so that they can balance the power of Chuzhou.
When Shang Yu heard Zhu Yuanzhang coming, he hurriedly stood up from Li Yanhong, confessed to Li Yanhong, put the moon pendant in his sleeve and handed the wooden plate to the hands of Di Mu Thirteen beside him, and then turned around and prepared to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.
I saw that in the separate crowd passage, Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing the general's armor and walked towards the hall with a crisp sound, Shang Yu hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Come to Anxian County to see the left deputy marshal!" ”
"Brother Xian, this is the time when you are engaged, Brother Wei rushed back from the camp in front, one is to congratulate you, and the other is to bring the two hidden masters introduced by Mr. Lu, and then I want to see how your siege weapon is made! You don't have to be so gifted, hurry up! I have brought you a few gifts, and I will let my brother meet my brother-in-law later, but I will ask why the first daughter of Quanzhou likes my brother! Zhu Yuanzhang walked a few steps at this time and said while helping Shang Yu up.
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Shang Yu was stunned for a moment, it has been a while since Lu Shaobei left, who will be the person who will be recommended this time? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look behind Zhu Yuanzhang, and then saw Zhang Sanfeng and his apprentice Song Yuanqiao.
But Li Yanhong's face changed greatly at this time, and she reluctantly stood up and shouted: "Zhang Feng, you beat me and destroyed the meridians all over my body, and now you are chasing here, do you want to kill them all?" ”
