Chapter Eighty-Six: The Fuso Bride
The plot of destroying the three views is here again, the Autumn Moon Pavilion and Sandakan No. 8 are actually the same thing, but one is wholesale and the other is retail. The difference is just hundreds of years in advance.
Liang Kuan never thought that one day, he would take his newly married daughter-in-law to this homecoming shrine to incense his ancestors.
In the past few years, especially since the Shouhan deliberately or unintentionally restricted the construction of ancestral halls of various surnames, the Guixiang Ancestral Hall has become the common ancestral shrine of the residents of Nanzhong, especially Ha Jing. Every time people have major events or solar terms, they first go to the heavens to burn incense to the gods, and then come here to pray for the blessings of the ancestors.
Several people in the courtyard are crowded, all of them are approaching the end of the year, people who are carrying out the great event of worshiping ancestors, from the sacrifices of ancestors, Liang Kuan can probably see whether it is an old man or a newcomer who has not been in the long term.
Those who sacrificed with a whole pig and the honey of a person should be the first batch of immigrants surnamed Lin and Huang who enjoyed the benevolent government of the lord's division of the land; The rest should be newcomers who have come to Hajing and Nanzhong one after another in the past few years.
"I will also use whole pigs to sacrifice my ancestors in the future! Then let the newlyweds eat the sacrifices of my sacrifice to accumulate merit! ”
Liang Kuan swore silently in his heart.
These sacrifices, according to the agreement between Shouhan and the elderly, after the sacrifice is completed, must be sent to the area where the new immigrants are concentrated, to improve the food for these people, and Shouhan is called "to accumulate merit for everyone." ”
"Keiko! Go fast! ”
"Oh! Hail! Good Xianggong! ”
With a delicate reply, Keiko behind Liang Kuan sped up her pace.
She is the Shimazu family, to be precise, the first batch of brides since Kayama Hidaka started trading with Nanchu.
Liang Kuan, the new commander of the new battalion of the Qilin Battalion, used the military salary he had accumulated during the southern expedition, the reward for killing a team leader, and the price of three broken ribs paid in order to kill this guy, the pension he obtained, and a lot of money with a lot of names such as pension allowance, and bought, oh, no, to marry this daughter-in-law.
On that day, Liang Kuan, who had just become a first-class commander, asked the officers on duty in the battalion for leave, planning to go to the city and the commercial port to shop, and by the way to the restaurant in the city to have a good meal. The food in the camp was good, but it tasted bad.
I was full of wine and food, but I didn't want to believe that the horse was under control, so I came to the commercial port. He stopped in front of the Akizuki Pavilion, which had been newly opened by the Japanese people.
"Akizukikan? I don't know if it's a teahouse or a tavern? Straight thief, it! Anyway, Lao Tzu has money tickets and silver in his pocket, just go! Liang Kuan, who was burping and thinking about finding something to quench his thirst, looked at the curtain at the entrance of the Autumn Moon Pavilion.
Looking at the ancient shopkeeper who kept bowing (the aforementioned Kazuo Koga, who was in charge of the shop), Liang Kuan felt as if he had walked into a black shop.
"What!" After listening to the introduction of the shopkeeper's business scope and business of the store, the alcohol in Liang Kuan's body turned into a cold sweat and discharged from the body in an instant.
"Under my Nanzhong rule, you dare to be so presumptuous!?" Liang Kuan loudly reprimanded Kazuo Koga as he reached out to pull out the hand knife at his waist. "Blatant human trafficking?!"
"My lord! My lord! Speaking in a half-baked official dialect, Kazuo Koga kept giving his hands away, "We are not law-abiding people!" You see, the one hanging on the wall is our dental stick, and we also have to pay taxes! We are a legally registered marriage agency! ”
"What is a marriage agency?" Hearing that it was registered in the General's Mansion and that he had to pay taxes, Liang Kuan put away his knife stupidly.
"My lord, according to the custom of the kingdom, the nickname is a kind of tooth shop, and the one who specializes in introducing wives or concubines to young men in the kingdom is the one who specializes in introducing wives or concubines to young men in the kingdom."
"Oh?! Introducing a daughter-in-law? Aren't you matchmakers? Liang sat on the chair widely, picked up the teacup and took a sip, well, the temperature of the tea is good, and drinking it is to quench your thirst.
"My lord, could I tell us about it? All of our girls here are from famous families, and they are good-looking, and they are guaranteed to be perfect. "Koga really wants to use Liang Kuan to open the store, otherwise, dozens of people every day, just white rice will eat several large pots, these foodies! They all claim to be the daughter of the Qiben samurai and the old man of Zhuangtou, and when they see white rice, they are simply a group of starving ghosts!
The daughter of the iron cannon captain actually ate a big bowl of rice without eating vegetables, and when she learned that there were fish and vegetables to accompany the meal, she actually ate a big bowl again! Eating is still a trivial matter, anyway, the rice here is the same as not asking for money. However, this group of warblers and swallows, Koga is afraid that once he or other men can't control it, something will happen, and the consequences will ......
"Oh? Do you also need three media and six certificates? Natsei asks for a name? Hearing that he was in charge of marrying his daughter-in-law here, Liang Kuan obviously felt that his body had some reactions.
"Not necessarily! Need not! As long as you have a household registration here and can come up with a suitable dowry, you can choose a woman from among the girls here that you are destined to go back to, of course, you have to go to the house to go through the formalities. ”
"That's not a problem!" Liang Kuan is alone anyway, and he just wants to have a woman to warm the bed. "How much dowry?"
"Your Excellency!" Seeing that the first business is about to be completed, Koga is also very excited. "I don't dare to ask you for more dowry, it's just that our country is barren and it is not easy to raise a daughter, so you have to pay some dowry to your father-in-law's family, and in addition, we also have to charge some Chinese money. About ......"
"Less nonsense! Don't be anywhere! "Liang Kuan just wants to see these women now." Tell me how much the dowry is, and how much money do you have?! ”
"The girl's dowry was 200 stone of japonica rice, or 10 horses of dyed cotton cloth. The income given to the trumpet is twenty stone of japonica rice, or a piece of cotton cloth. ”
"What?!" Liang Kuan roared in his heart. He just paid attention to the price of rice, for no other reason, the thirty acres of paddy fields under his name were subleased to his old prefect Lu Yunsheng's family to cultivate, and there were more than so many rents every year, so he naturally had to pay attention to his own interests.
Think about it, you can marry a daughter-in-law with less than a year's rent, have children and continue the incense, such a good thing, you have to die!
He unbuckled his belt and left his clothes open to keep his body less hot. "Rice and cloth are not a problem, what about people?!"
So, one by one, the women who were dressed up according to the costumes and makeup that are popular in Hajing Mansion today, according to their birth rank, walked out from behind the screen one by one, came to Liang Kuan delicately, reported their names and surnames, and then Kazuo Koga was responsible for introducing the girl's family background, education process, and a certain kind of female celebrity, etc.
For these daughters who seem to be high-ranking officials, Liang Kuan seems to be a standard, he wants a woman who can warm the bed and give birth to children. Naturally, it depends on the woman's figure, especially her tits, crotch and ass.
Finally, when Kazuo Koga was introduced to the twenty-seventh, Liang Kuan's eyes lit up, this woman met his aesthetics!
"Keiko. Father is the flag of the Shimazu family, and he is used under the banner of Hisataka Hisadaka in Kayama. Good at cooking, housekeeping, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, ......"
"That's it! I want him! Wait a minute, you can send someone with me to buy cloth at the shop in Tonghe Dyeing Workshop!" ”
After a rush, Liang Kuan bought all the things, and bought a few catties of sugar and candied fruits for the women who were far away from their parents, snacks from Daoxiang Village, etc., in exchange for a coquettish exclamation, thanking the new brother-in-law.
"Lose that mother! If there are so many sisters-in-law, Lao Tzu will ......" Liang Kuanwu thought to himself.
"Chief Liang, now you can take these documents, take your wife Keiko, and go to the household of the General's Mansion to go through the relevant naturalization procedures." After inspecting the more than ten pieces of cotton cloth, Kazuo Koga bowed deeply again, "Thank you for your attention!" ”
Walking on the street of the commercial port, Liang Kuan and his wife were a little like a dream. One was thinking, "I'm going to have a wife?" I'm also a family person? The other was wide, beautiful and wide-eyed, looking around at the bustling streets and the shops, and the shops with all kinds of goods that the women were not immune to. There seemed to be an endless variety of food everywhere, as well as beautiful silks, cotton cloths, and all kinds of jewelry.
"Do you like it?" At the gate of Ruiji Silk Village, looking at Keiko, who was a little unable to take a step, Liang Kuan deliberately asked with a tiger face.
"Hay! Oh no, husband, I'm just, just looking. It's too expensive. Keiko was scared. If you are beaten by your husband because you like such luxuries, this is too normal. After all, not everyone can afford such a luxury as silk, and even if they can afford it, it depends on whether the husband is willing to buy it for himself.
"Come in with me!"
Liang Kuan used his maintenance allowance to buy a few clothes for Keiko, spring, summer, autumn and winter, from the inside out. Watching the seamstress of Rui Kee compare and measure her body, Keiko finally woke up from her dream, she bit her lip, it hurt, and a salty thing surged in her mouth and on the tip of her tongue.
"Okay, this military master, this is the voucher for receiving clothes, three days later, you let this little lady come and pick it up by herself, if there is something inappropriate, the trumpet can also be modified."
When Rui Ji's counter handed the bamboo number plate for taking the clothes to Keiko, Keiko finally couldn't hold himself anymore.
She walked quickly to Liang Kuan with small broken steps, "Husband, you are too good to Keiko!" Before the words fell, Keiko was already kneeling on the ground in the lively silk village, her forehead pressed against her hands, and the whole person formed a beautiful arch.
This is the second time that Keiko has knelt down and saluted Liang Kuan since the two concluded their marriage today. The last time was at a small restaurant on the street, Keiko couldn't help but cry when she saw the braised fish, ham meat, half a cut sauce duck on the table, a chicken that I don't know what ingredients to process, and a bucket full of rice on the corner of the table.
"Husband! It must not be! Keiko is already yours! We still have a long time to spend together in the future, treating Keiko like this, although Keiko feels very happy, and she also knows that her husband is very good to me, but such a luxury is to compromise Keiko's life! ”
Kneeling on the ground of the dining shop, he couldn't care about the greasy on the ground, Liang Kuan's new daughter-in-law Keiko cried like pear blossoms with rain, and Liang Kuanjiachang was embarrassed in the face of others' questioning eyes.
"What did you say?!"
Liang Kuan's old commander, Lu Yunsheng, the current captain of the new battalion, was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up. "Lao Tzu gave you a day off, let you go out for a walk, and you made me a Fusang girl? You say, where did you put this, that is, your daughter-in-law? Did you go to the house to apply for her household registration? Where does she live during this time? You can't live in a barracks, can you?! And, where is your new house?! ”
Seeing the officer in front of her blowing his beard and glaring in front of her husband, Keiko was very scared, she was worried that her husband would be ordered to apologize for this, and Ai Ai stood behind Liang Kuan, pulling the placket of Liang Kuan's military uniform with her small hand.
However, Liang Kuan was very calm, and looked at the chief and brother in front of him with a smile.
After waiting for a while, Lu Yunsheng also scolded almost, "Captain, I also want to have a home, there is a person who makes me worry about, you see, I am a lonely ghost who has not known where my home is for many years, only when I come to Nanzhong, I can be regarded as a living person." I don't want anything else, I just want to have a woman, raise a few children, and pass on the incense in the family. ”
"But now, in Ha Jing Mansion, there are more men and fewer women, and I don't want to marry a barbarian to go home, but this Fusang woman is about the same as our Han women, and the women of Fujian in Guangdong. I've thought about it too, head, don't you still have a side room at home? For the time being, let Keiko go to the old man's place to disturb him for a few days, and when her household registration is done, I will find another house in the city. ”
"What do you say?! What's the bother? For dinner, let the room add a few dishes, add a bottle of wine, and celebrate for your boy, and then I will accompany you two back. In a while, I will ask someone to go home and deliver a letter, and ask the old man to clean up the house for you. ”
"Hey, hey! Otherwise, it's still the old chief! ”
"You don't talk nonsense! The evening drinks are out of your gold! And that's not all, you have to treat the ladies to a good drink! ”
"That's for sure! We are also married by the Ming media, and the household has sent a dragon and phoenix wedding post! ”
"There's one more thing." Sneakily looking around, Lu Yunsheng asked in a low voice, "That Qiuyue Pavilion, can you really marry a daughter-in-law for two hundred stone japonica rice?" ”
"Oh my brother! One of my daughters-in-law is here, are you afraid it's fake? Liang Kuan patted his chest, "Early tomorrow morning, I will accompany you!" ”
"Don't talk about it there! It seems that Lao Tzu is in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law! Lu Yunsheng kicked Liang Kuan, "Hurry up and go buy wine!" He threw the money bag around his waist to Liang Kuan, "Sell some rouge pollen or something for my younger siblings!" Bride! You have to dress up! ”
Kazuo Koga was very happy, after the first business was completed, followed by more than a dozen orders of business. Soon, the storeroom was filled with bales of cotton cloth and a few pieces of silk that the brides had sent to the family. The letters from home in the envelope are also increasing day by day, all of which are written to report safety to the family and describe their happy life at her husband's house. There are also letters written by brides to their girlfriends, urging them to find a way to come to Ha Tinh, and the sisters live together three meals a day, each with rice.
"And the city lord may not be willing to buy you silk clothes!"
"If these letters are sent back to Kyushu, the lord will be even more noisy than the distribution of those three guns!" Kazuo Koga shook his head when he remembered the scene of the head of the Shimazu family, the young master, and Mamoru Mino, arguing about the distribution of weapons for 600 spears.
In the end, the 600 Ashigaru who was equipped with a mourning gun turned into the mother of the Shimazu family, but 300 people belonged to the head of the family, 200 people belonged to Mino Mamoru Lord, and 100 people belonged to the young master.
"I don't know how the lord will distribute this wealth, how to distribute the next ship!" Kazuo Koga stroked the soft cotton cloth in front of him, as if caressing his lover's skin.
"Kazuo Koga, this despicable human trafficker! His trafficking in women greatly alleviated the crisis that there were many young and strong men and few women of appropriate age in Li Shouhan's territory. ”
Some people commented on Kazuo Koga's actions.
However, some people also see it this way: "The marriage between the two parties directly led to the large-scale import of industrial and grain products, especially military equipment, into the Japanese archipelago, and directly led to a new round of arms race among Japan's major names." ”
