Zhang Lin's funeral, Zhou Nan has arranged for Yu Zhongwen, who is also an important minister of the imperial court, to handle it, and he has been stationed in Yanjing City for several days, but Zhou Nan knows few ministers, because he has only met with these ministers once, so only appointing Yu Zhongwen to do it can also show Zhou Nan's importance to Zhang Lin.

In Yanjing City now, it is basically in a state of anarchy, the upper-level officials are leaving, fleeing, and the rest don't know what the future holds, so they basically don't care; The officials at the bottom don't even have the upper ranks, and they have nothing to do. In addition to the fact that the city gates would be opened every day to allow the people to enter, the shops in the city would continue to open as usual, and the government seemed to disappear from the people's view.

Zhou Nan must go to the Taishi Mansion every day to have a look, and ordered Yanjing City to replace the lanterns and flags, all in vain, in order to show respect for the deceased. Not only him, but Monk Jia also led the monks of Minzhong Temple to stay in the Taishi Mansion for three days, chanting sutras for the deceased.

Three days later, Zhang's funeral was held, and the people of the whole city knew that the old lady was dying and Zhou Nan wanted to treat them well, and they all spontaneously bid farewell to the old lady along the street, plus the soldiers sent by Zhou Nan to guard, the team was lined up to a small village called Weigou ten miles north of Yanjing City, and the north of the village was the selected cemetery. This is the only way for Yanjing and Danzhou, south of Wenyu River, north of Tianzhu Mountain, beautiful scenery, after discussing with the people of the Zhang family, Zhou Nan exercised the power of the imperial court for the first time, let the Nanjing Left-behind Division issue a notice, the Weigou Village was given to Zhangfu, as the cemetery of Zhangfu, Weigou Village will never pay rent, but by Zhangfu to collect rent, as a sacrifice.

The reason why Zhou Nan values Zhang Lin so much and is willing to give the Zhang family some preferential treatment in the name of the imperial court is the most shocking thing Zhou Nan saw after coming to this time and space.

He couldn't imagine a man in his fifties dying suddenly because he was so obsessed with expecting something. That day, in the Minzhong Temple, Zhang Lin raised his head and shouted the scene, and Zhang Lin knew that he would die, but still remembered the unwillingness of the people of Yandi, which often appeared in his mind. Zhang Lin just stubbornly believed that if he Zhou Nan could marry a princess, the Wansheng Army and the Black Armor Army would definitely be able to revive the majesty of Daliao and drive away the Jin soldiers.

Zhou Nan wanted to say to Zhang Lin: You don't have to marry a princess, you can protect Yanjing and the people of Yanjing. But at that time, it was impossible to explain it. If he doesn't agree again, it will not only chill the hearts of these people, but I'm sorry for Zhang Lin's love for the people, but it also seems that he Zhou Nan is in a coy manner, and it's a big deal to be more good to Gao Yun in the future.

After coming back, Zhou Nan, Gao Yuan and others began to be busy. The order they sent three days ago for the transfer of troops and horses has all been put in place. With the back and forth transfer of soldiers and horses, Zhou Nan also asked the grain and grass of the brigade to be transferred from Yanjing City and distributed to various cities. A large amount of grain was hoarded in Yanjing City, and with the grain and grass of the Song army in the fifty ox carts that Gao Yuan returned from Gu'an City, Yanjing City sent out thousands of soldiers, so that the grain in the granary was almost full.

After leaving enough grain, Zhou Nan asked people to escort all the excess grain and grass to Zhuozhou and Yizhou, and store them separately.

"Let Zuo Xiaosi go to Yanqi Island again tomorrow." Zhou Nan said, since he had agreed, he only felt that this matter should be completed as soon as possible, in his opinion, this is the easiest thing, and after completion, he would lead the troops to clean up the sixth high school in Juyong Pass, so that he could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Da Lang, don't be so hasty," Yang Keshi persuaded, "How can a marriage event be made in a word and come at a moment's notice?" Last time, the princess of Shu Kingdom clearly cared that Da Lang had not gone in person, and she was disgusted, so she refused to come to Yanjing with Brother Zuo. In my opinion, this time we must do enough to do the most in order for the matter to be done. ”

"That's right! If you marry Yun'er like this, I won't agree. If you always have three media and six certificates, you have to send some dowry gifts, and then send a sedan chair to marry - although I haven't been to a daughter-in-law, but I've always seen someone else marry, right, big head? That's what Gao Yuan means.

"We don't understand the rules, so let's ask Lord Yu to handle this." Zhou Nan promised, "Why don't we go to Lord Yu and see what preparations need to be made, so let's start early." ”

The three of them found Yu Zhongwen and said that they wanted to invite Yu Zhongwen to preside over the marriage of the princess. Yu Zhongwen was overjoyed, and said again and again: "It's time to marry as soon as possible and calm people's hearts!" In this way, the old man is the master of ceremonies for the wedding, and Zhang Yingmo, the eldest son of Gong Zhang, will be the marriage witness, and General Yang will still serve as the marriage envoy, how about it? ”

Zhou Nan nodded and said, "That's exactly how it should be." Zhang Lin's son Zhang Yingmo was the young scribe he saw in the Taishi Mansion that day.

"Since it is decided, the old man will arrange affairs, tomorrow I will bring the dowry with Brother Zuo, go to Yanqi Island together, and meet with Xiao Lao Liu, which is considered an engagement, and then make an appointment with Xiao Lao Liu, please Xiao Lao Liu come to Yanjing City to meet and agree on the date of the kiss; When it was time to greet the princess, you had to go to the horse in person, take the marriage envoy, and marry the princess back to Danzhou, and it was done here. Yu Zhongwen smiled and briefly explained the ceremony of marrying the princess.

"So troublesome?" Zhou Nan said, regretting it in his heart, he knew that it was so troublesome, so he led his troops to attack Juyong Pass first.

"This is not troublesome, the most complicated is the day when you welcome the horse, the marriage envoy and the marriage envoy talk about wine and food, cattle, sheep, chickens, dogs and other food placed outside the princess's door, pay homage to the princess's elders, clan and brothers, offer wine to the elders, and then the marriage envoy will pay the money, speech, and then the princess can say goodbye to her parents and elders, and then drink a glass of parting wine, the clan will also chase after the back, and the marriage envoy will reward wine, food and silver money, so that do not chase, so that the princess can set off with the horse, and later, but also bring the dowry given by the parents, There is also a final car. Yu Zhongwen introduced fluently, it seems that this old guy has been a marriage witness for others.

Zhou Nan wailed, he really regretted it now.

"Hehe, it's all for you to marry a daughter-in-law." Yang Keshi said with a wicked smile, "You just went to greet you that day, and I, the marriage envoy, will also be responsible for sending those chasing people to you in the back." The worst thing is that when you enter the cave room at night, we run in vain, and we rejoice empty. ”

"Lord Yu, don't pay attention to him, you are going to be hired tomorrow, let's go and see first, what kind of dowry is there in the Yanjing Mansion treasury." Gao Yuan said with a grin.

"That's right! Right! Right! The old man almost forgot about the dowry, so the old man will take you to the inner treasury, but you can't lose your identity. Yu Zhongwen hurriedly asked people to prepare horses, preparing to pick out the next gift.
