[194] Song Youliang took a concubine

After a while, Song Youliang came back, and Zhu Huanting pouted and said, "Are you happy?" ”

"It's just a matter of getting rid of your hands, are you happy to talk about it?" Song Youliang was inexplicable

"You are still pretending to be stupid with me, the harem has spread all over the country, saying that Your Majesty wants to recruit you as a concubine~" Zhu Huanting said sourly

Song Youliang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Your Majesty mistook me for a colt in Taimiao, but it was a slip of the tongue that Your Majesty was too happy to have for a while, how can you take it seriously?" ”

"Your Majesty's is Chrysostom Yuyan, where can you laugh?" Zhu Huanting said

Song Youliang smiled, "Princess Zhaoren is only 5 years old, and Princess Changping is only 15 years old, and she is not yet old enough to get married~" Song Youliang muttered to himself in his heart, do you think these children are the current post-90s little Lori? All of them are young, but they are well developed?

"In short, you are cheap and obedient~" Zhu Huanting pushed Song Youliang onto the couch, "I'm going to squeeze you dry and see if you still have the energy to go outside to spend your intestines!" ”

"Help~~Help~~~Hmm~~" Song Youliang just wanted to call for help, but his mouth was stuffed with a deer, and he could only make a whining sound

The next day, Song Youliang went to his parents' residence in Beijing to meet his parents, sisters, brothers-in-law, uncles and aunts, and the whole family had a reunion dinner together.

During the banquet, my sister Song Youlian asked with a smile: "You have been out for so many days, and now it is rare to come back once, or empty-handed, everyone says that you have won the gold and silver mountains of Jiannu in Liaodong~~"

"Don't listen to those people's nonsense~~ In that poor place in Liaodong, where does Jinshan and Yinshan come from?" Song Youliang crooked his mouth, in fact, after Song Youliang broke through Hetuala, he and Hong Chengchou withdrew their troops. On the way back to the division, he deliberately passed through Shenyang, and took out the gold and silver from the Jiannu treasury that sank in the Hunhe River. a total of more than 1,500,000 taels of silver and 300,000 taels of gold. In addition, the income of the puppet officials who did not build slaves, in fact, Song Youliang got nearly two million taels of silver in Liaodong. A third of them were used as a reward for the army, and even the ordinary soldiers received a large sum of silver, and naturally they were all tight-lipped. Rumors from the outside world are just habitual chasing after the wind

At this time, his uncle Zhao Lianli smiled and said, "I heard that you want to turn all the guards under the Liaodong Capital Division into a government and county?" ”

"Yes~~ Do you want to get a prefect for your uncle?" Song Youliang asked with a smile

Zhao Lianli hurriedly waved his hand, "When the prefect is majestic, but with such a big mansion, political affairs must be very busy, your uncle is self-aware~~"

"Youliang, I heard that many people in the court oppose you taking charge of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, saying that you hold Dengzhou in one hand and Liaodong in the other, and the military power is too great." After his brother-in-law Xia Minghao came to Beijing, he became a lot more active, and often went out to eat and drink with some officials, so he could often hear some gossip and insider information, "I heard that the opinion of the ministers of the DPRK and China is that the capital of Liaodong and Dengzhou Town, you can only choose one." ”

"Then I'll still choose Liaodong~" Song Youliang stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth

"Ah Liang, aren't our ancestral businesses all in Dengzhou?" Father Song Qianjin was puzzled: "That is the root of our old Song family!" ”

Song Youliang said: "As long as you have money, power and power, everywhere is the root." Besides, I have already transported many workshops, craftsmen and machines from Dengzhou to Liaodong. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Lianli and Xia Minghao didn't want Song Qianjin to be an honest farmer, they vaguely felt that Song Youliang had a deeper plan

Song Youliang also saw their speculation, so he said: "Actually, you see, the imperial court no longer sends officials to Henan, Henan is so close to Shandong, Dengzhou will be affected sooner or later." Our family moved to Liaodong, which is relatively safe. ”

At this time, everyone stopped talking, but just looked at Song Youliang's mother in unison, and Mrs. Song said to Song Youliang with a smile: "Son, my mother and you discuss one thing." ”

"What's the matter?" Song Youliang asked

"You've been married for many years, but you haven't added anything to our Song family. We've summed it up, and it's the county lord Jin Zhi Yuye, and we can't force it. Second, the county lord lives in the deep palace and is not easy to enter and exit casually, so ah, we plan to give you a concubine and add Ding to our Song family as soon as possible. ”

Song Youliang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That's what I said, but who wants to be a concubine?" And there is a county lord on his head. ”

Aunt Song said with a smile: "My family's Ah Liang has a heavy army, guarding one side, or a great hero who pacified Jiannu, if the wind is released, I am afraid that the matchmaker who will come up will step on the threshold." There's one right now~~"

"Who?" Song Youliang hurriedly asked, after all, Song Youliang is a man, and most of the officials and businessmen in later generations have second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh wives...... The officials and generals with a bit of status in this world are also concubines, don't everyone live like this? Entering the country to ask the customs, entering the local customs, and taking the initiative to integrate into the world is the right way~ is the king

"Isn't it Wanling~" Song Youliang's sister Song Youlian interjected

"She?" Song Youlian couldn't help but think of the time she went to Rushanzhai and was tied up with five flowers

"Still thinking about the time she tied you up?" Aunt Song covered her mouth and smiled

"How can ~~ adults don't care about villains, although I, Song Youlian, am not the prime minister, but I can still hold the boat in my stomach. Where can I always remember that little thing~~" Song Youlian said with a smile on her face

"Then it's decided~~" Brother-in-law Zhao Lianli hurriedly made a final decision, "Wanling's father and mother are both doing business in Nanyang, so I will make the decision for her." ”

"Hey~Hey~this~~That~~" Song Youliang hasn't reacted yet

"What~hey~Hey~This~~That~~" Aunt Song smiled: "Didn't you say that you had long wanted to kiss your cousin's family?" ”

"Uh~~" Song Youliang did say something like this, "Does Cousin Wanling agree?" ”

Brother-in-law Zhao Lianli made a face, "I am her eldest elder here, and I don't have a chance to marry you, I can call the shots in this matter, even if your uncle comes back, he will agree." ”

"Three days later, it's a good day~~~ This matter is on me and your sister~" Aunt Song took the burden, "You can be the groom's official with peace of mind~~"

Brother-in-law Xia Minghao smiled: "The blessing of Qi people, envy!" ~~Ouch! Before the words fell, he was slapped by Song Youlian on the thigh

Song Youliang no longer objected, but said: "Then I want to tell Wan Ting, after all, she is the county lord and the wife." ”

"In reason~in reason~in reason~!" Father Song smiled

Let's say that Zhu Huanting has no objection to Song Youliang's concubine, after all, Zhao Wanling is a girl from an ordinary family, and her identity as the county lord can still suppress her. In case Song Youliang marries a princess and comes back, his position will be difficult to protect. Besides, he did get together with Song Youliang less and separated more, and felt that instead of letting Song Youliang eat game outside, it was better to have a woman by his side to take care of him. Moreover, Zhu Huanting also heard that Zhao Wanling is not a young lady who does not go out of the door, she is very willful and spicy, and she should be able to control Song Youliang

In the Ming Dynasty, although the custom of taking concubines was common among the official eunuchs, gentlemen, scholars and wealthy nouveau riche, the Ming Law also made clear provisions on the scope of concubines, and there were a few prohibitions on a limited number. For example, if the parents are mourned, they are not allowed to marry concubines. Grandparents were imprisoned and were not allowed to take concubines. The same surname is not allowed to be married as a concubine. The wives and concubines of relatives shall not be married as concubines. A fugitive woman may not marry as a concubine. A probationary officer shall not marry a prisoner's daughter as a concubine. Slaves and maidservants are not allowed to marry others as concubines. A father-in-law shall not marry a daughter-in-law. Officials are not allowed to marry prostitutes and daughters of good families as concubines. He was ordered to send an envoy and not to marry a concubine halfway...... Wait a minute. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the children of Shangjia were considered untouchables, and they were accepted as concubines, without saying anything. However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, commerce flourished, and the status of merchants was greatly improved. The daughter of a businessman is already a genuine woman from a good family.

However, this ban is largely non-existent.

The matter was settled like this, and soon, under the supervision of his aunt and sister, Song Youliang's concubine procedure began to start. Three days later, the concubinage ceremony officially began

On this day, several brides spent half an hour helping Song Youliang dress up, Song Youliang stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked, dressed in a red robe, with a few colorful flowers on the hat on his head, two wings on both sides swaying up and down, a jade belt around his waist, and long sleeves hanging down, I think it was funny, learning the appearance of Peking Opera, walking a few steps in the house, and deliberately shaking his head, the small wings on the crown flew up and down, causing those little daughters-in-law to giggle.

The housekeeper Song Fu walked into the main room and said with a smile: "Young master, you are ready, the auspicious time has arrived, and the sedan chair honor guard outside to welcome relatives has been prepared." ”

Song Youliang was stunned: "Welcome relatives? Where to greet relatives? ”

"The old lady said, although the bride has entered the door, but this necessary passage still has to go, just start from our yard, welcome the family around the main street of the city, set off a salute to be lively, and then come back, and then the worship hall."

Well, since the arrow is on the line, then you have to send it. Song Youliang walked out of the room and came to the courtyard, Song's father and Song's mother saw their son wearing red and hanging colors, beaming with joy, although his son was not marrying for the first time, but he was still very happy

The courtesy official led Song Youliang to the new house with colorful lights, and the ceremonial officer sang loudly: "The auspicious time for the good day is here, and the bride enters the sedan chair!" ”

Zhao Wanling, who was wearing a phoenix crown and a red ribbon in her hand, was led by several maids, and walked out of the new house with a few maids-in-law, a bride handed over the red ribbon to Yang Qiuchi, and the ceremonial officer led the way in front, Song Youliang led Zhao Wanling and went out of the courtyard gate, and all the guests in the courtyard stood up and said hello, and the children clapped their palms and ran back and forth and laughed.

Out of the courtyard gate, a long team of people has been waiting outside, in the middle of a red sedan chair, Song Youliang led Zhao Wanling to the sedan chair, the bride lifted the sedan curtain, said: "Please the bride into the sedan chair!" ”

With the support of Song Youliang, Zhao Wanling stepped into the sedan chair. The bride draws the sedan curtain.

There is a big white horse next to the sedan chair, also hung with colors, it seems that it should be ridden by the groom's official, Song Youliang flew on the horse, the horse was very tame, and there was a servant in front of him who led the horse to chew and take it

The ceremonial officer sang and said: "Get up the sedan chair and play music!" ”

Suddenly, the sheng pipes, flutes, gongs, drums, and suona played together, and in the sound of crackling firecrackers, the procession of welcoming relatives swept out of the gate of the Earl's Court and walked along the street.

In front of the procession, four officials with waist knives sounded gongs to open the way, and those behind them held signs that read: "Dragon and Phoenix are auspicious", "Flowers are good and the moon is full" and other auspicious words.

Song Youliang rode on the big white horse, holding the reins of the horse with one hand, holding a small pony whip in the other, and a big red flower hanging obliquely on his chest, waving triumphantly to the crowd of onlookers on the side of the road.

Both sides of the street were crowded with people watching the excitement, looking at Song Youliang pointing, and several old women were discussing:

"Did you hear that? This groom's official is amazing, the Jiannu of Liaodong is so powerful, he was wiped out in less than five years"

"Really? No wonder, when I look at him, he doesn't look like a mortal! ”

"But isn't it, I heard that when he fought Jiannu, he had words in his mouth, and he volleyed a little with his fingers, and countless heavenly soldiers and generals went down to help him, so where can Jiannu resist?"

"Tut~! It's not easy, if only my daughter could marry him, it would be great. ”

"Did you hear it wrong~~ I heard that every time General Song fights, he has the help of the Thor Electric Mother~~"

"What kind of thunder god electric mother, obviously Erlang Zhenjun descended to earth~~"

"No~~No~~ It's the third prince of Nezha~!"

Song Youliang was funny when he heard it, but although what these people said was absurd, one thing was certain, that is, he was full of admiration for himself in his heart

After a week of procession through the streets, the procession returned to the gate of the Earl's Palace

At the gate of the compound, the officials and gentry who came to celebrate had been waiting for a long time, and there were several brocade guards in golden flying fish suits standing next to them, one of whom was holding a small gift box. It was the commander who led the way to make Luo nourish

"It also alarmed Brother Luo~" Song Youliang dismounted and saluted Luo Yangxing

Luo Yangxing smiled and said: "This is nothing, Brother Song helped me solve the Zhou Yanru case, and we still have endless glory and wealth." Hahaha"
