Chapter 190: The Red Candle Shines High
Fan Li said: "Zi Meijun, I'm leaving Gusu again." Would you like to walk with me? ”
Zimei said: "Fan Jun, I have already gone out with you twice, and I took the initiative to follow you both times, and this time you took the initiative to invite me." I love it. ”
Fan Li said: "With you, I will not worry about eating or sleeping, and I will get some unexpected help, and more importantly, I am very happy with you." ”
Zimei's face turned red: "Me too." Where are we going this time? ”
Fan Li said: "This time the task is a bit mysterious. We are going to a legendary place called Shenmu Mountain, to find 3,000 sacred trees. ”
Zimei said, "Is there such a place in the world? ”
Fan Li said: "I heard that there is. ”
Zimei smiled: "This is really mysterious. What if we can't find this place? ”
Fan Li said: "If we can't find Shenmu Mountain and collect Shenmu, Gusutai will not be built, and our plan will fail." The restoration plan will be postponed indefinitely. ”
Zimei sighed and said, "This means that we must find the Shenmu Mountain and collect the Shenmu?" ”
Fan Li said: "You must find it." If we can't find Shenmu Mountain, we can't pick Shenmu, so we won't come back. ”
Zimei said, "Okay, I'll go with you." When are we leaving? ”
Fan Li said: "Tomorrow." Will you arrange the affairs of King Wu's side? ”
Zimei said: "You can rest assured of this. I'll explain how to do it to Luo Jiang. I think you'll see Shih Tzu tonight. Tell her you're going to be away for a while. lest she be deprived of the backbone. He needs your comfort. ”
Fan Li smiled awkwardly: "Okay." ”
The next day, Fan Li rode out of Gusu City. Hit the horse and ran out of ten miles, Zimei was already waiting for him on the road.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and rode forward. Zimei said, "Fan Jun, what are you carrying on horseback?" The bulging sac looks heavy. ”
Fan Li laughed and said, "We have made a fortune." There are a hundred catties of gold here, which is the cost of King Wu to find the sacred tree for us. ”
Zimei said: "So much! That's a year's worth of 50,000 troops. King Wu is really generous. ”
Fan Li sneered: "It's not generous, but it must be stupid." He has lost his mind under the bewilderment of Xi Shi. ”
Zimei said: "Fan Jun, we don't really need so much money, do you really want to bring so much gold to find the Divine Tree?" ”
Fan Li said: "I won't be so stupid. This is a huge amount of money for the Yue country, and we will send the gold back to Huiji first. Then go in search of the Sacred Tree. ”
Zimei said: "This is the best, anyway, we have no time limit." ”
The two stayed overnight and came to Huiji Mountain within a day. When I entered Ducheng, there was a flow of people on the street, and there were more shops on both sides of the street. After several years of hard work, Huiji gradually regained its vitality. The Yue Wang couple still lived in a stone house and slept on a straw bunk.
When Fan Li and Zimei arrived, Meng Ji was preparing dinner, and Meng Ji told Fan Li that King Yue had gone to the family on the street to attend the wedding.
Fan Li said: "How can the king go to other people's weddings? ”
Meng Ji said: "No matter who gets married in Huiji City, the king will go to the wedding. And whoever dies, the king will go and mourn. ”
When the common people encounter red joy and white mourning, the king personally goes to congratulate or mourn, which is a great honor for the host family, and their loyalty to the king is even more unshakable.
Fan Li sighed: "How can the king not be loved by the people like this? Zi Meijun, let's go see the excitement. ”
The two of them left the stone house, followed the direction guided by Meng Ji, and found the festive family after a while.
The wedding is at its climax and is in the chapel. There were many people watching the ceremony, Fan Li and Zimei squeezed forward, only to see the red candle shining high, and the big red happy word flashed with auspicious brilliance. The bride and groom are wearing red wedding dresses, and they are slowly walked into the venue by the bridesmaids.
King Yue and Queen Yayu sat on the chairman, and next to them sat the parents of the newlyweds. The master of ceremonies shouted: "Worship heaven and earth!" ”
A couple of newcomers bow to the void to the end.
"Two worship the king!"
The newlyweds paid homage to the king and queen of Yue. King Yue smiled and nodded, which was considered a return gift, Yayu stood up with a smile and put a pair of sachets made by himself on the bride and groom, and the bride and groom saluted again to thank them. Some women were moved to tears.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "The general is here too!" ”
The crowd hula dodged away, and Fan Li and Zimei stood in the middle of the field. The master of ceremonies shouted in a hurry: "Three bows to the general!" ”
Things came suddenly, Fan Li thought, oops, no gifts? Touch it around. took out a few silver horns, and the bride and groom each gave two, and said with a smile: "Congratulations!" ”。 That's a lot of money.
As soon as Zimei raised her hand, there were two more fragrant red sweat towels in her hand, one for each person.
As soon as King Yue saw Fan Li coming, he knew that something was wrong, stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations again, the widow has retired." ”
The master of ceremonies shouted, "Congratulations to the king and queen!" ”
Everyone knelt down together and kowtowed.
Back in the stone house, Fan Li and Zimei saluted and worshipped, and met the king and queen.
King Yue was in a good mood, and said with a rare smile on his face: "Young Uncle is back, what good news does he bring?" ”
Fan Li said: "The minister brings a little gift to the king. He walked out of the stone house, unloaded a cloth bag from his horse, and carried it into the house in a heavi.
King Yue said, "What a gift, so heavy." ”
Fan Li untied the piercing and said, "King, please take a look." ”
King Yue opened his pocket and looked at it, and was stunned. Yayu came over curiously and took a breath of cold air: "So much gold!" ”
Fan Li said: "A whole hundred catties! ”
King Yue said, "Young uncle, tell me, what's the matter?" ”
Fan Li said that he had built Gusutai and did not find the sacred tree, and the king of Wu sent him out to find the sacred tree. He said: "The king, the minister of the Yue Kingdom, for so many years, there has been no salary, this money, take it to the ministers to pay a little, improve their lives, they work harder than ordinary people." ”
King Yue said movingly: "What the young uncle said is extremely true. Only the ministers of the Yue Kingdom in the world can work for so many years in vain. One day, the restoration of the country will be successful, and the widow must thank all the Aiqing. ”
Fan Li said: "King Wu forcibly built Gusutai, Wu has been overwhelmed, and Fucha is losing the hearts of the people. The effect of weakening their national power is already being felt. ”
King Yue said excitedly: "Young Uncle works hard, destroy Wu Xingyue, you are the first great achievement." ”
Yayu said: "The greatest luck in Yue is that there is a general. ”
King Yue was puzzled: "Young uncle, can you really find Shenmu?" ”
Fan Li said: "The minister doesn't know, but whether he finds it or not, the minister will find a way to let Gusutai be built." ”。
King Yue said, "When are you going to leave?" ”
Fan Li said: "The minister plans to leave tomorrow." After the minister left, he asked the king to inform the minister of literature and tell him to prepare three hundred carpenters and three months' military rations. Always ready to follow the minister to the wood. ”
