Chapter 0008 Breaking Up When You Get Married, You Get Confused!
Ah Long felt that everything he did in Xianyuan Town happened too quickly, and these things always popped up suddenly without any mental preparation for him, and then, let him face and deal with them in a hurry, so he handled these things well?! He really doesn't know the bottom of his heart!
However, he could only rely on the little knowledge and experience he had accumulated in his previous life to deal with those scheming Long family and Guo family members with all his might.
After handling the negotiation between the Long family and the Guo family about the marriage between Long Hanfeng and Guo Ruyu, Long Tianwei asked Long Hanfeng in the living room of his study to discuss the specific arrangements for Long Hanfeng and Guo Ruyu to get married and they separated from the Long family and lived alone.
Long Tianwei said: "Feng'er! Now, after the mansion in Longtianfu was changed to Shuntianfu, it has been transferred to your name of Long Hanfeng! In ten days, Suncheonfu will be renovated! When the time comes, you will first take Long Xiaogang, Long Cuiling, Xi'er, Huan'er, as well as more than a dozen servants such as cooks and purchasers to move to Shuntian Mansion to live! Wait for the eighth day of the next month, we will help you take Guo Ruyu to the Shuntian Mansion and give you a wedding wine, so that your small life in the Shuntian Mansion will be lived! In the future, you won't have much to do with the Long family! β
Aaron smiled and said, "Oh! Got it! In the future, the property of the Long family and the army of the Long family will be the brothers and sisters of the Long family! But, Daddy! Now, my pocket money adds up to less than 20 taels of silver! How can I feed my family of dozens of people! There are also three large courtyards up and down the Shuntian Mansion, nearly 100 sets of large and small houses, these yards, houses, furniture and supplies in the house, etc., their maintenance and repair are also a lot of expenses! Even if Guo Ruyu marries me with a commercial street, his father Guo Baichuan has already collected all this year's rent! We're going to get rental income, and we're going to have to wait until the beginning of next year! If, Dad doesn't give us half a year's living expenses! In the future, how will we live?! β
Long Tianwei smiled and said, "Oops! Let's talk about separation! Our family style is beginning to be sensible! Okay! When you move to Shuntianfu, I will ask my uncle to send you 500 taels of silver! However, this is the last time Dad will give you money! In the future, if you want to use the money, you must find a way for yourself! β
Aaron smiled and said, "Alas! Father! You've been so good to me! Daddy! You see, Long Xiaogang, Long Cuiling and other younger brothers and sisters, they are the children of the fourth mother Li Feifei, if Long Xiaogang and Long Cuiling go to Yingtianfu with me to live, in the future, what will happen to their household registration? ! β
Long Tianwei thought for a moment and said, "Alas! O cold wind! You know the eldest mother of this family, Xue Mulan, their Xue family has made a great contribution to the achievements of the Long family today! Therefore, I made a will, after my hundred years, I will hand over the entire army and assets of the Long family army to General Long Meng, the eldest son of the Long family! Give Qingfeng Gorge Longjiazhai and all the belongings and industries there to the second son, Long Mengjun! The Long family's Longfu Mansion in Xianyuan Town, several green buildings and casinos of the Long family in Xianyuan Town, and other industries, will be handed over to the third son, Long Mengwen! In this way, in the future, it will be difficult for you children who are in a partial house to rely on the Long family to live again! O cold wind! You are the eldest brother of the girl in the house, in the future, you will have to help these younger brothers and sisters more! Now, I'm in my fifties, I can't tell, that day, I said I would leave, and after I left, I couldn't do anything! β
Aaron said, "Alas! Daddy! You are such a far-sighted, compassionate bodhisattva! In this way, let's open another population account in Suncheonfu! Long Xiaogang and Long Cuiling can be regarded as my own brothers and sisters! Xi'er, Huan'er and others are the servants of the Xinlong family! β
Long Tianwei said: "Alas! O wind! Arrange them your way! β
Aaron said, "Daddy! One more thing! The three teachers you arranged for me, Liu Quanzhi, Yi Shanhe, Li Linggu, etc., now, they teach me every day, tutoring me in history, the art of war, martial arts and Taoist spells, etc., after I move to Shuntianfu, the three teachers also come with me?! β
Long Tianwei said: "Alas! The purpose of arranging three teachers for you at that time was to prepare for you to participate in the martial arts competition of the imperial court and ask for a military attache position! However, you are now married to Guo Ruyu, and Guo Baichuan has given you a large amount of assets! Therefore, I feel, do you want to participate in the martial arts competition and become a military attachΓ©?! This question doesn't matter anymore! Therefore, you can look at these three teachers! If you don't want to take them to your new home, I'll just fire them! β
Aaron said, "Oh! Yes, I'm not the material to be an official! However, I was interested in learning those knowledge and techniques! So, let the three teachers come with me! Father! If, if I want to take the martial arts championship in the future, which senior should I find to guide me?! β
Long Tianwei said: "Alas! This person used to be your grandfather Long Xiaotian's apprentice! Later, he left Qingfeng Gorge and went to Bianjing to become the horse guard of the Son of Heaven! His name is Lu Zhanpeng! Now, the head of the capital who serves as the head of the Mabu Military Capital on Jiangnan Road in the Great Song Dynasty is a three-grade official! However, this man is very arrogant! When your grandfather was alive, he was okay with our Long family! However, after your grandfather left, Lord Lu rarely came to visit the Long family! β
Aaron said, "Oh! Lu Zhanpeng! Father! How old is he?! β
Long Tianwei said: "He is much younger than me!" Now, I think I'm in my forties! Recently, he is ready to go to the court to be a big official! Therefore, I want you to take the martial arts test! When you were very young, when Lu Zhanpeng came to our house, he also hugged you! You must have some impression of him! If you want to see him, you inform your grandfather of Long Xiaotian's name, and he will definitely meet you! β
In this way, after Ah Long and Long Tianwei talked, Ah Long and Xi'er, Huan'er and others began to prepare for the move.
Xi'er said, "Brother Long! We're going to move to Suncheonphudan, and that's great! You may not remember, the three brothers such as Long Mengjun, Long Mengjun, and Long Mengwen are more vicious than wolves! They are like the old man, they beat and kill people at every turn! Among the adults of the Long family, that is, you are alone, and you are more benevolent! When we move to the new house, let's set up a spiritual seat for your mother Liang Fengxian! We burn incense for her! This time, it can be done like this! Your mother must have blessed us from this! β
Huan'er said, "Brother Long! In the past few days, you'd better let Daoist Li Linggu take a few apprentices to Shuntian Mansion to do a ritual to exorcise ghosts! When we were young, we heard that at that time, your grandfather had six aunts, and the day after your grandfather's death, your father was worried about these little mothers and robbed him of the Long family's property! Therefore, he forced all six aunts to hang themselves at home and give your grandfather a funeral! And the dozen or so little brothers and sisters born and raised by these aunts were also drowned by your father and them in one night! Alas, Long Tianwei is really a terrible demon! β
Aaron said, "Alas! No wonder they were so happy to decorate the old house and give it to us! They don't dare to face this house! Tomorrow, I'll ask Li Linggu to take someone there to do Dharma for a few days! Calm down the lonely ghosts there! β
Xi'er said, "Alas! The old accounts of the Long family can't be turned over! Long Tianwei didn't want others to know about the bad things he had done! In fact, Long Tianwei also has two younger brothers! These two are smart people! They know that Long Tianwei is vicious, and after your grandfather fell ill, your two uncles took the whole family and ran to other places to hide and make a living! Otherwise, they would definitely die at the hands of Long Tianwei! Now, all right! Only the three sons of his eldest wife robbed the Long family's property with him! In the future, let's not mention the matter of the Long family again! Otherwise, we will be poisoned by them! β
Aaron said, "Alas! Let's stop talking about these creepy things! We quickly packed up the valuable and usable things and items in the house, and we sorted and packed all the things that needed to be moved! When the time comes, let's leave the Long family early and go to our new home to live our little life! β
Everyone laughed!
So, in the days that followed, Ah Long and the others began to pack up the items they moved, etc., they classified, sorted and packaged all the gold and silver jewelry, money, clothes, bedding, books and stationery, and furniture that could be carried in Long Hanfeng's room.
Then, Ah Long asked Daoist Li Linggu to take a dozen Taoist priests to do a few nights of ritual in the newly renovated Shuntian Mansion, and the Taoist priests appeased and expelled the returning ghosts in the Shuntian Mansion.
In this way, the Shuncheonfu will become clean and smooth!
......
In the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty, in mid-to-late April 1099, after everything was ready, Ah Long, Xi'er, Huan'er, Long Xiaogang, Long Cuiling, Liu Quanzhi, Yi Shanhe, Li Linggu, etc., as well as more than 20 retainers and servants who could cook, purchase, organize and repair properties, moved into Shuntianfu.
Shuntianfu is at the easternmost end of the south street of Xianyuan City East Street, it is very close to the east gate of the city, it is a single-door single-family mansion, and the house is surrounded by blue brick walls more than four meters high!
The main gate of the house opens to the street, and the main entrance of the house is the front yard.
The front yard is very spacious, the southeast side of the courtyard is the corridor wing, and the south side of the courtyard is the reception building, which has a guest room, a living room and a recreation room.
After the passage on the first floor in the middle of the reception building, there is a middle courtyard, which is a large garden, and on the southeast side of the courtyard are the corridor wings, which are where the children, retainers and servants live, as well as the kitchen and dining room!
To the south of the courtyard garden is Longgui Building, which is where the owner lives, lives, works and studies!
After the passage on the first floor in the middle of the Longgui Building, there is a backyard, the backyard is a Jiangnan style garden, there are pools, rockeries and pavilions and pavilions such as ornamental and leisure buildings, because the backyard is very wide, therefore, there are also functional buildings such as the Wanghuo Tower!
In short, there are a lot of rooms here, and the place is spacious enough, and at the same time, it can accommodate more than 1,000 people to live and work!
Therefore, when Aaron and his 20 or so people lived here, it still seemed empty, and there was still no sense of popularity here!
After Ah Long moved here, he naturally lived in a suite with a study, bedroom and living room in Longgui Building, and the master room was to be kept for the cave room when he married Guo Ruyu!
In fact, the study, bedroom and living room suite of Longguilou are Ah Long's private territory.
Therefore, Ah Long moved Long Hanfeng's gold and silver jewelry, money, clothing, bedding, books and stationery, as well as the two iron boxes he got in Yinshan, the 500 taels of silver given to him by Xue Zurong, the chief housekeeper of the Long family, and a box of more than 1,000 taels of silver left by Liang Fengxian for Long Hanfeng, and a box of gold and silver jewelry for women.
At the same time, Ah Long stored all the silver and valuables in the dark rooms under the floor here, which were specially built by Long Xiaotian back then, so they were very sheltered and strong!
After Ah Long tidied up his things and room, he summoned Long Xiaogang, Long Cuiling, Xi'er, and Huan'er to drink tea and talk in his living room.
Ah Long smiled and said, "Xiaogang, Cuiling, Xi'er, Huan'er!" Now, the four of you are my dearest and most reliable people! Therefore, the four of you must help me take care of this house! Of course, after Xue Ruyu married me, she was also one of us! Before, I would only play and read! You see, how should we manage this home?! β
Huan'er said, "Alas! In terms of household chores, it is now mainly cooking, lodging, washing clothes, sweeping the floor, tidying up the room, trimming flowers and plants, and other household chores! Brother Long! I'll help you be the head of the hired staff now! I know all the servants who do these jobs! At present, the money involved is the purchase of the kitchen, the purchase of household goods and so on! In order to prevent the purchase from messing around with money, Brother Long! You have to personally manage two buyers, and you have to often go to the merchants who supply us to understand the price and quality of the goods! As for the rest of the work, I will send them workers and supervise them! β
Xi'er said, "Brother Long! I'm still the same! I'll be your sidekick! I'll take care of your daily life, and at the same time, help you with your communication and errands! β
Everyone laughed!
Xiao Gang smiled and said, "Big brother! Now, my sister and I are your relatives! In the future, let's go to the book! Our Long family has produced a lot of generals and gangsters, but there are no officials in the yamen yet! Therefore, I want to study hard, and in the future, I will take the test for Xiucai, lifting people and champions, etc.! I want to be a big official! β
Cui Ling smiled and said, "Big brother! Moving here, I feel much safer! Living over there, I was always worried that someone was poisoning my water and food! In the future, when I grow up, you can help me find a good family and let me get married! Otherwise, let me become a nun! I want to pray for you! β
Ah Long smiled and said, "Xiao Gang! Cui Ling! You're still young! Read and play! Don't think too much about the future! Alas! Things are changing so fast in this world, who knows what will happen to everyone in the future?! It's good that we live every day in front of us! β
Everyone applauded and laughed!
......
After moving to the new house, Ah Long asked Li Linggu to arrange a sacrificial room in a small room on the first floor of Longgui Building, where a shrine was placed, and the spiritual seat of "Liang Fengxian's mother" was placed, and incense candles, fruits and snacks were offered.
In this way, Ah Long, Xiao Gang, Cui Ling, Xi'er, Huan'er and others take turns here every day to burn incense and kowtow to Mrs. Liang!
......
In the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty, one morning in early May 1099, Long Tianwei and other Long family members used eight sedan chairs to beat gongs and drums to receive Guo Ruyu from Guo's Mansion to Shuntianfu.
Guo Ruyu brought 5,000 taels of silver, as well as a dowry for the property rights of a commercial street, as well as more than 20 servants such as Xuanjingzi's little maid, Huang Ergouzi, Huang Shunyu, and Ah Mao's golden house, so that Ah Long's family will not lack lines and manpower.
On the day Guo Yuru passed the door, they held a wedding in accordance with local customs, and the Long family and the Guo family held a three-day wedding banquet in Xianyuan City!
Therefore, the marriage of Long Hanfeng and Guo Ruyu is known to people in Xianyuan Town and the ten miles and eight towns here.
After getting married, Aaron's family began to live!
One morning, Ah Long and Guo Ruyu drank tea and chatted in the gazebo in the back garden of their home.
Guo Ruyu smiled and said, "Ah Long! It's fun and fun to have a good time! β
Aaron said, "Yes! But, I feel like there's a lot more to do! But, I don't know, what should we do about these things?! β
Guo Ruyu smiled and said, "I don't understand what you want to do!" I just want to help you have a few children as soon as possible! Then, together we raise them! Later, let them do things for us! β
Aaron said, "Alas! Does this need to be said?! The purpose of marriage is to have children! But we're going to keep this home out of business! And it must prosper! Therefore, we must learn a skill! Starting tomorrow, you're going to start learning literacy and arithmetic! In the future, you will be in charge of managing the family's money and expenses! I want to learn history, the art of war, martial arts, and Taoism! In the meantime, I'm going to start getting acquainted with the business conditions of the high street where you got it! β
Guo Ruyu said: "Okay! You're in charge of teaching me literacy and arithmetic! About, my commercial street is a thing, my father said, there are dozens of best shops in our commercial street, and they are rented to your father Long Tianwei! They use these shops to open casinos, green houses, massage parlors, etc.! My dad said, your dad hasn't paid rent to the Guo family for two years! These arrears add up to more than 25,000 taels of silver! β
Aaron said, "Alas! No wonder Guo Baichuan is so happy to transfer this whole street to your name! He wants us to help him deal with Long Tianwei's gang of robbers! β
Guo Ruyu smiled and said, "Alas! I was meant to be a cow! I feel like we're too rich right now! If you can't get your father's money back, forget it! Aaron, take care of these things! You just let me have food to eat and clothes to wear! β
Aaron said: "There is no problem with this! But, flowers, you have to learn to be a man, you have to help me! We can't always be like cows, not only simple-minded, but also ignorant of life and death! β
Guo Ruyu smiled!
However, Ah Long felt that everything in front of him was too bizarre and too sudden, and he always felt that his heart was a mess and very unsteady!
