Chapter 1030: Carnival
Wang Yuan left the arsenal satisfied, the tiger squat cannon is about to become large, and the ** is also finalized, once these two big killing weapons are equipped with soldiers and horses, the Shence army will be invincible, and there is no need to worry about combat effectiveness at all. The only thing needed now is a reason to raise troops, and although in the near future, a sweep of combat power is just around the corner, but there are some things that cannot be solved by force. Stopping violence with violence is just what Wang Yuan said, but in fact, Wang Yuan knew that it was impossible to solve the problem once and for all. Oral administration also needs to be taken heartily.
Before leaving, Wang Yuan pulled Zhang Zhengyi into the room alone to talk.
Zhang Zheng saw that Wang Yuanshen's mysterious appearance was unknown, but he heard Wang Yuan say: "Heavenly Master, I have something I want to ask the Taoist chief for a favor." ”
Zhang Zhengyi hurriedly said: "If the marshal has something, he will give it." ”
Wang Yuan scratched his head and said, "It's a little hard to speak." ”
Zhang Zhengyi smiled and said, "What's wrong with Dashuai?" ”
Wang Yuan glanced left and right a few times, lowered his voice and whispered in Zhang Zhengyi's ear: "Dao Chang is proficient in the art of golden pills, I don't know what elixir there is in the room?" ”
Zhang Zhengyi looked at Wang Yuan with a strange expression, Wang Yuan suddenly felt that this sentence seemed inappropriate, Zhang Zhengyi may have misunderstood that there was something wrong with him.
"Master Zhang, don't get me wrong, you know, I have several wives and concubines in my house, and I don't want to snub them, so I want to ask for something interesting, and thank you for the fun in the room." Wang Yuan laughed in a low voice.
"Xiangguo doesn't need to explain, the old man understands, the old man understands. For example, in a wealthy family like Xiangguo, there are many wives and concubines in the back house, of course, there will be some ...... Some...... I feel struggling. But Xiang Guorong, I advise you, the medicine of the tiger and wolf cannot be used indiscriminately. For the sake of being quick for a while, I am afraid that I will ruin my body in the future. Zhang Zhengyi chuckled.
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "The medicine of the tiger and wolf naturally can't be used, so I came to ask the Heavenly Master." The means of the Heavenly Master are endless, and the means of refining the elixir are even more unsurpassed, I estimate that the Heavenly Master should have pills that do not harm the body and can improve the taste. So it's just a matter of asking. If I didn't have any of these things, then I didn't say it. ”
Zhang Zhengyi smiled and said mysteriously: "Xiangguo is the right person, and the old man is in the room. It's a bit of a dip. In the past, when I was in Chang'an, many wealthy families in Chang'an also came to ask for these things, and the old man also studied them for a while. Don't hide it from Xiangguo, I do have a bottle of pills hidden here, which is carefully refined by the old man with the precious medicine provided by those people. This kind of pill can not only produce lean kidneys and increase taste, but also has a miraculous effect on the disease of inaction. is old and old, and he has no interest in men and women for a long time, and he has dozens of pills left to send to Xiangguo. ”
Zhang Zhengyi bit the word 'don't lift' very hard, and stared at Wang Yuan with bad intentions. Wang Yuan didn't hear it, and only said happily: "That's great, just sell it to me." ”
Zhang Zhengyi smiled, turned around and turned out a wooden box from the low part of an old mahogany cabinet, opened the sealed box, and a fragrant breath came to his nose, and dozens of golden pills were lying round inside.
"Giving it to Xiangguo is, what is not sold. If you want to sell them, these pills are not something that money can buy. Although the medicinal materials are valuable, the means of refining them by Zhang Zhengyi are priceless. Xiangguo is not thin on me Zhang Zhengyi, Xiangguo is in trouble, how can I not help? What money is there to talk about? Zhang Zhengyi closed the lid and handed the box to Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan unceremoniously put it into his arms and thanked him: "Thank you, thank you, what pills does Zhang Tianshi need to refine in the future, what precious medicinal materials do you need, just tell me, I will order someone to find it for you at the end of the world." ”
Zhang Zhengyi smiled and said: "This is what the old man wants." Although this pill is not harmful to the body, eating too much will also waste the medicinal power. One pill in seven days, keeping the Xiangguo majestic, killing all over the Quartet. ”
Wang Yuan thanked him repeatedly, chatted a few words and left. Zhang Zhengyi looked at the back of Wang Yuan and the others leaving, smacked his lips and sighed. Heart: Wang Xiangguo is invincible outside, and he is a great hero and hero that everyone envies and reveres. It seems that God is fair in the end, as the so-called flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not as good as a thousand days. Things in the world are always perfect, and every flaw makes people sigh.
……
Three days later, more than 50,000 infantry and horses escorted 20,000 rebel prisoners to Chengdu. Li Heng, the king of Feng, who had been waiting for many days, was overjoyed. Wang Yuan then ordered Song Jian to power 20,000 soldiers and horses to assist Li Heng in escorting the prisoners and materials back to the camp on the Gobi Desert in Hexi. Before leaving, Wang Yuan repeatedly instructed Li Heng, telling him not to act rashly and wait for his news. Li Heng agreed repeatedly, and left with a large number of weapons and materials and 20,000 prisoners with a smile on his lips.
In the next few days, Wang Yuan finally had a few days of leisure. Take your wife and children to travel around Chengdu and share the joy of family.
April 20 is an auspicious day. The lights up and down the royal house are full of joy, and Wang Yuanna's wedding with Huang Ying as a concubine is scheduled to take place today. Although it is not the first time that Wang Xiangguo has taken a concubine with great fanfare, and most of his concubines are women from people with heads and faces, this time Na's concubine is just a commoner's daughter. But the marriage still caused a sensation in the city.
One is that since the rebellion in An Lushan was quelled, after all, the people who had been disturbed by the rebellion for so long breathed a sigh of relief, and the dark clouds in their hearts finally dispersed, and they had been trying to find a reason to celebrate the carnival. What better reason to revel than to take advantage of the concubine wedding of Wang Xiangguo, a great hero of the counterinsurgency. On the other hand, this is also based on the people's worship and love for Wang Yuan, Wang Xiangguo has a high reputation among the people, so Wang Xiangguo's marriage is a major event for every household, and it is logical for the people to celebrate spontaneously.
As a result, the wedding quickly evolved into a national carnival. The merchants and people on the street also spontaneously gathered, and every household put up lanterns, and the lion dance and dragon lanterns prepared for the Dragon Boat Festival on the street were also unveiled in advance. The whole city of Chengdu has become a sea of joy.
Wang Yuan didn't expect things to develop into such a big situation, he wanted to finish this marriage in a low-key manner, after all, it was his own private matter, and it was not in line with Wang Yuan's mind to be shaken all over the city. But the matter has come to this point, and it cannot extinguish the enthusiasm of the people. After all, the spontaneous actions of the people also express their success in the hearts of the people, and this is what Wang Yuan values most. So Wang Yuan ordered people to open a banquet and put it on the long street around the house, which was more than 500 tables of flowing water seats, and invited nearly 400 chefs from restaurants in the city to help cook the dishes. All the guests and friends who come to congratulate them, whether they are officials and nobles or ordinary people, can sit at the table and drink the wedding wine.
This day is as lively as a festival, and the streets near the left of the royal house are crowded with people. In order to maintain order, Wang Yuan had to order Li Mi to mobilize 10,000 Shence soldiers and horses to be on duty throughout the city to prevent chaos.
In the face of the sudden escalation of this wedding, in the face of such a big scene, the Huang Ying brothers and sisters panicked. Huang San is honest, in his opinion, his sister-in-law can finally marry Wang Yuan, to put it mildly, to be a concubine, that is, to be a warm house girl, that is also the reason why the eight generations of ancestors of the Huang family appeared. And now, this wedding has evolved into such a grand specification, making it seem as if the eldest sister wants to marry Wang Yuan as his wife, which is definitely not a good thing.
Among the wives and concubines in Erlang's back house, which one is not a well-known figure, among them there are many noble princesses, strange women who are familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Which one is not better than the eldest sister, I don't know how many times. The eldest sister's physiognomy and talent can't compete with these people at all. Before the wedding, Huang San warned Huang Ying more than once that after marrying Wang Yuan in the future, he must not think that he can be on an equal footing with Wang Yuan's wives, but should still see himself as a maid and put himself in the right position as before. Now, however, the scene has left both siblings dumbfounded. This is more solemn than any of the ladies of the royal house, which is obviously not a good thing. In the future, I am afraid that I will be excluded and attacked by the ladies, and my life will be difficult.
Huang San hurriedly found Wang Yuan and expressed his worries. Wang Yuan was also speechless after hearing this. He is actually worried about this problem, although the back house is quite harmonious, but there are many wives and concubines, and it is inevitable to be jealous. There is no guarantee that this incident will not affect Huang Ying. So Wang Yuan found Li Xin'er and his wives and concubines and tried to explain to them the cause of the incident. But unexpectedly, none of the wives and concubines had any complaints, and all of them had a high profile, indicating that they had no opinion on this at all. Even Li Xin'er laughed and blamed Wang Yuan for being so careful, and regarded them as cautious women.
Wang Yuan was surprised, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't quite understand, but later it was Gongsun Lan who pointed out the maze, and Wang Yuan suddenly realized.
Gongsun Lan told Wang Yuan that because it was Huang Ying's marriage, there was no need to make a fuss about this matter. It's not because of Huang Ying's high status, but because of Huang Ying's low-key and humble status, which will not arouse the jealousy of all women. Because everyone understands that Huang Ying will never be able to ride on everyone's heads, no matter how beautiful the scene is, Huang Ying will still be at the bottom of the wives and concubines in the future, and will not threaten their status at all. Regardless of her appearance and background, Huang Ying does not pose any threat. On the contrary, if the wedding of the existing wives and concubines, such as Gao Moyan or Princess A Luo, reaches this scale, it will definitely be boiling. If others don't make trouble, Li Xin'er will definitely make trouble.
Wang Yuan was instructed by Gongsun Lan, and then he understood various reasons. I can't help but sigh in my heart. It turns out that women are so difficult to understand. My wives and concubines have been in the same bed for so many years, and I think I know enough about their character, personality and temperament, but in the end I still don't know anything. A woman is a strange, inscrutable animal.
