"Jinan Jiyun Society Commercial Bank, congratulations to Zhongyibo on his wedding, presenting 5,000 taels of silver, a pair of jade Ruyi, and ten pieces of jewelry."

"Shanxi Qujia Commercial Bank, congratulations to Zhongyibo on his new marriage, presenting a gift of 8,000 taels of gold and silver, a pair of deep-sea amber, and 50 fine pearls......"

"The yamen of the governor of Henan presented three thousand taels of silver and six pairs of Mobao to congratulate Uncle Zhongyi on his wedding and the early birth of a noble son......."

"Qufu Confucius's family presented nine thousand taels of silver, a manuscript of the sage Wang Xizhi, please send a ...... to Zi Guanyin"

"Miyun General Soldier Tang Tong ......"

As Xu Changqing's wedding date approached, the temporary reception center in the southern part of Haicheng, the suburbs of the former Fengguo Town, was becoming more and more overcrowded.

Basically, the bigwigs, families, commercial houses, local chambers of commerce, various academic societies, and colleague organizations that can be ranked in Daming all came to say hello to Xu Changqing.

In this kind of façade project, those who have money naturally do not hesitate to pay, and those with slightly less financial resources, especially the literati organizations, offer all kinds of rare treasures, especially the ancient scholars' ink treasures.

This has also become the biggest scenery in Haicheng recently.

Countless big girls, little daughters-in-law, aunts, and mothers-in-law come here to watch the excitement with their babies early in the morning, or with their girlfriends and sisters.

And when the master of ceremonies sees a lot of people, especially girls, the more excited he is, and the louder the singing sounds.

This also makes the climax of the temporary reception center rise and fall one after another from early in the morning, which is even more lively than the New Year.

The chaos in the northwest is not what the people care about, but what they care more about is the hard-won happy life in front of them.

Some people even calculated an account for Xu Changqing, just in the past three or two days, Xu Changqing only received as much as four or five hundred thousand taels of gift money.

And the day after tomorrow is Xu Changqing's real wedding date, and there are more and more distinguished guests, at this time it has just arrived, no accident, Xu Changqing got married, just to receive gift money, I am afraid it can reach the level of one million taels!

1,000,000 taels of gift money......

What is this concept?

I'm afraid that all the people in Shandong combined, they won't be able to earn so much in a year......

"Hey, Brother Shengyuan, this person and person are really incomparable. Before, I always thought that when I got married in Datong, it was already pompous, but ...... Compared to my uncle, I'm not even a stinky person to ask for food. ”

In the temporary office of the reception center, Wang Pu's eldest son, Wang Xiu, who was a little hoarse, poured a large cup of tea with a clatter, and looked at Xu Shengyuan, who was not much better than him, with a wry smile.

At this time, although the supervisor who was responsible for receiving guests from all over the world was Li Yan, Li Yan was not three-headed and six-armed, there were too many distinguished guests, and he was really too busy.

Originally, the deputy chief was set to be the slippery Wang Pu, but Wang Pu is now in the northwest battlefield, and the eldest prince Wang naturally has to take on his father's responsibility.

Xu Shengyuan's side is similar.

Although there is still some disdain for Xu Changqing on the side of the Dingguo Mansion, Xu Changqing's strength is here, it is definitely the vein of the Dingguo Mansion, the most powerful person in more than a hundred years, almost chasing the glory of the ancestors, and they will definitely not dare to get over the face, so Xu Shengyuan, who has some friendship with Xu Changqing, has become a pawn.

Xu Shengyuan is also a tired dog at this time, but his eyes are extremely energetic.

Although he is a gentleman, he is a person with great ambitions, especially after the polishing of the army, the childishness of the gentleman has gradually disappeared in him, and he also realized at this time what kind of influence Xu Changqing is now, and he cherishes the opportunity in front of him.

These are all connections.

"Okay, Brother Wang, let's continue to the platform after drinking water. Where is this going, there will be a general military officer in Tang Tong, and the bigwigs are just at the beginning. ”

Xu Shengyuan took a sip of tea, patted Wang Xiu's shoulder with a smile, and walked out quickly.

He used to look the same as Wang Xiu, with such a hard work, it was impossible not to complain, but at this time, how could he have time to complain? It's true to do things well.

"Eh, Brother Shengyuan......"

Wang Xiu wanted to say something, Xu Shengyuan had already gone far away to greet the guests.

This made Wang Xiu's eyes squint slightly.

He is a gentleman, but he is not stupid, and he also realized at this time that there seems to be a bit of a gap between him and Xu Shengyuan.

Hurriedly packed up his spirits and walked out quickly to greet the guests.

This kind of scene, even if you don't do anything, just mix up your face among the guests, it's an opportunity that can't be bought by thousands of dollars.

……

"Sister Xue, I heard that the reception center is so lively, we can't live in hotels and inns in the city now, and a lot of private houses have been rented out, but it's still not enough, and many VIPs can only live in tents outside the city. It's a nice day today, so let's go check it out. ”

Early in the morning of May 16, Xiu'er came to the courtyard of the first snow in a well-behaved manner.

Compared with her yard, the yard of the first snow is undoubtedly larger, not only the front and back are smaller, but also occupy a corner of the lotus pond in the backyard, and there is a large garden.

As for the maids and women who are waiting around them, there are more than a dozen people, and the show is envious.

These days, officially joining the back house of the Xu family, although Xu Changqing only came to her once, he didn't accompany her even one night, but Xiu'er didn't do anything.

not only successfully conceived Ximai, but also got in touch with the current third lady of the Xu family, Chu Xue.

It's not that Xiu'er doesn't want to talk to Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei, it's just that the two girls are too busy and high-minded, and Xiu'er has no way out even if she wants to.

Fortunately, she also has experience in a wealthy family, and she has a lot of the same hobbies as Chu Xue, and soon won Chu Xue's favor, and Chu Xue was happy to accept this quite favored little girl.

Xu Changqing happened to spend the night at Chu Xue's side last night, and Chu Xue was also about to go out for a walk today, thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "It's okay." Let's go join in the fun today. ”

"Okay, Sister Xue, my sister is waiting for you."

Not long after, Xiu'er was like a maid on the carriage of the first snow, and the simple but spacious and comfortable carriage, accompanied by four personal soldiers and seven or eight maids-in-law, actually left the city and came to the reception center.

"Ah, there are so many people ......"

Before I got to the place, the first snow was a little confused.

I saw that on both sides of the road, there were continuous camp tents everywhere, and many ordinary people were pushing carts, shouting around these camps, peddling all kinds of snacks and goods.

Further on, the road was blocked by the flow of people.

That is, the congenital conditions of Haicheng are good, and the surrounding terrain is very flat, so the groom carefully got off the road and came to the wilderness to move forward, otherwise, just the traffic jam could stop them here for a day.

Xiu'er was also dumbfounded.

Even in the capital, she had never seen such a lively scene, and these people came to congratulate her man on his marriage.

Thinking of this, Xiu'er was a little proud and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart.

Is she just a concubine......

If she was Xu Changqing's eldest lady, how good would it be......

After a short time, with the efforts of the soldiers and the maids, they finally came to the hinterland of the reception center, and immediately heard the excited and hoarse singing of the master of ceremonies.

came here to see the lively Xu Changqing back house, obviously not only the two of them.

Early in the morning, Gu Hengbo was also pestered by Kou Baimen, Bian Yujing, and Chen Yuanyuan, and came to see the excitement.

Of course, because of Gu Hengbo's existence, when they come over again, the entourage is not a standard, and it is no different from the first snow.

"Ah, Sister Xue, yes, it's Sister Mei, ......"

Xiu'er had sharp eyes, and soon saw Gu Hengbo and the others.

Gu Hengbo was watching the excitement, she had never seen such a lively scene, and next to her, the clever Kou Baimen hurriedly reminded her.

Chu Xue had already gotten out of the carriage at this time, and greeted her with a smile: "Sister Mei, why are you here today?" I knew we were coming together. ”

In the face of the first snow, Gu Hengbo didn't dare to slack off, and greeted him with a smile: "Sister Xue, you are also here." I heard that it was quite lively here, so I came over to take a look. Mi'er, I heard that the candy man over there is doing well, you can buy a few more in the past, so that everyone can try it. ”

looked at the two women who were not too harmonious, and in the blink of an eye, they were talking and laughing, and Xiu'er was speechless.

At this time, she also understood a little why people said, 'Once you enter the Houmen, it is as deep as the sea'.

When she was in Uncle Guo's mansion, although the competition for favor inside was also fierce, those methods were a little worthless compared to her two sisters in front of her.

Just as the women on both sides converged into one side, talking and laughing and tasting the delicious candy man, in the direction of the city, a fast horse suddenly drove quickly.

"Urgent priority, idlers retreat!"

From the beginning of Xu Changqing's establishment of Haicheng, he has been intensifying the education of the people under his rule, and although the quality of the people cannot be compared with that of later generations, the basic key points can still be distinguished.

Soon, the crowd subconsciously moved out of the way, allowing a few fast horses to hurry over.

At the reception center, Li Yan and Wang Tingchen, who had already arrived here, were drinking tea with Tang Tong.

Although Xu Changqing did not come to greet him in person, he was accompanied by Wang Tingchen, and Li Yan was Xu Changqing's military advisor, Tang Tong was also very satisfied.

After all, he is from the past and knows the complexity of getting married, let alone Xu Changqing's identity.

"Report - urgent dock business!"

But as soon as a few people laughed at the battle in Songjin back then, the voice of the messenger suddenly broke this relaxed harmony.

Tang Tong and Wang Tingchen were both stunned, and they looked at Li Yan busily.

Li Yan also 'groaned' in his heart, could it be that there was a big mess in the northwest?

But there is a big mess in the northwest, and the first thing to report should be the official hall.

The model army has long had a convention, and all matters that are added to the 'urgent' are important priorities, and Li Yan didn't have time to think about it, and said to Tang Tong and Wang Tingchen with a smile: "The two military gates, there may be some things, and they will be absent for a while. ”

"Hehe, strategist, you are busy first."

Tang Tong and Wang Tingchen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly let Li Yan get busy with business first.

Li Yan hurriedly came here, his face had already condensed: "What's the matter?" ”

The chief flag officer of the herald at the head hurriedly whispered: "Military division, there are three big ships on the other side of the dock, they claim to be from the Zheng family in Anping, and they dare not call the shots, so they specially came to report to the military division. ”

"Anping Zheng family?"

Li Yan was also stunned, and then his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Where are the people now?" ”

"Still waiting on the docks."

"Hmmm......"

Li Yan's brows furrowed even tighter.

He knew about the Zheng family in Anping, and he knew the power of the Zheng family, but he didn't post about Xu Changqing's wedding to the Zheng family, but he didn't expect the Zheng family to take the initiative to come to the door.

Is this auspicious or evil?

After thinking for a moment, Li Yan said coldly: "Let Wang Junmen, Xu and Wang, the two sons, entertain distinguished guests here, and the others will follow me to the dock!" ”

"Yes!"
