Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Group Wedding
After Jiang Huai came back, he was busy for five or six days in a row, Gu Hao was genius to sort out the complicated affairs, he handed over the rest of the things to Wen Huanzhang and Xiao Jiasui, and he returned to the days of studying and preparing for exams.
Living such a day, the happiest person is Pan Jinlian, who can accompany the petty officials every day, grinding ink, adding tea, and occasionally listening to interesting stories, of course, she often has to be "bullied" by the petty officials.
And Gu Haotian has a rare and leisurely day, in addition to reading and writing, he chats with Li, eats, tells stories to his little sister, and takes his family out for a walk, watching ball games, and sometimes going to the new barracks and going to the arsenal workshop, and his life is extremely comfortable.
Let's say that after dinner that day, Gu Haotian was accompanying Li and others in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness. saw Li Kui's mother walk in.
"How did the Mother of the World get free to come here tonight?" Gu Haotian hurriedly got up to greet him.
"My wife has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." Li Kui's mother replied with a smile.
"Sister, please sit here." At this time, Li came over and pulled her to sit down beside him.
"I'm talking about the marriage of the iron bull, now what new barracks is over, I mentioned it a few times, but this strong bull didn't know that the evil man, I used to want to marry early, but when I got to the mountain, I pushed it up, that Cui Gu is now living under the same roof with us, and it is embarrassing to live a long time, Feng Shi has talked to me openly and secretly several times. The killer is the most obedient to the words of the petty official, and the old man wants to trouble the petty official to help him say a few words. ”
It turned out that this was the case, but it was not a difficult matter, Li Kui's idea Gu Haotian knew something, it was nothing more than the first time he came to the mountain, he married before making meritorious service, and he was afraid that his brothers would laugh at him, so he agreed to it.
Early the next morning, Gu Haotian went to the barracks. Since that day after Su Sheng and Sun An were trained, although the two admitted their mistakes, they also held their breath and trained the remaining hundred or so subordinates into elites. But these two people were ruthless, but it gave several other battalions a sense of crisis, especially the third battalion, which was also an infantry army, but he didn't take a single soldier away, if he lost to the first or second battalion in the future, there would be nowhere to put his face. Therefore, Ma Xian, Li Kui, Jiao Ting and others have been training in the camp every day recently. The third battalion was originally positioned as a sword and shield soldier, but since Chu Hong dedicated his Tang knife skills, Gu Haotian wanted to turn him into a heavy-armored Tang knife battalion, just like the Mo knife battalion of the Tang Dynasty......
"Little official, where are you going early?"
Just thinking about it all the way, he was suddenly interrupted by a shout, and Gu Haotian saw that it was Ruan's mother calling him at the door of the fish head shop.
"Didn't the mother of the world also make a living here for a long time?" Gu Haotian stopped and greeted Ruan's mother.
"My wife feels light, she has nothing to do when she gets up early, and she comes here to be at the mercy of blindness, but there is something I want to talk to the little officials about, but I don't know if it's convenient."
"The mother of the world just said, I happened to be idle today." Gu Haotian saw that Ruan's mother had something to say, so he went into the store and sat down.
"But it's my daughter's business and Director Tao's business, those two are not small, and now they are working in one place, so they have to give a name as soon as possible."
When Gu Haotian heard this, Ruan's mother had the same thoughts as Li Kui's mother, and thought that it was really a coincidence, it was better to do the marriage of the two together, so as to add joy to the mountain.
"What the mother said is reasonable, now it happens that the mother of the Li family has asked me to match the marriage of Li Kui's brothers, you prepare first, and then the happy event will be done together."
Ruan's mother was overjoyed when she heard this, and she didn't care that Gu Haotian was sitting in the store, so she went out to discuss with Li Kui's mother.
The third battalion was stationed, and the four hundred infantry were divided into several queues, and they were practicing the slashing technique, and Ma Xian, Li Kui, Jiao Ting and others were guiding on the side.
If all of them are replaced with Tang Dao, what kind of momentum should it be, Gu Haotian couldn't help but look forward to it even more.
"How can the little official have time to come over today?" The three of them also saw Gu Haotian at this time, so they ran over together.
"It's not for Brother Li Kui's business." Gu Haotian replied.
"What's the matter with me?" Li Kui thought about how he had stayed in the barracks these days, and he hadn't caused any trouble, so how could the petty officials chase him to the camp.
"A lifelong event."
Li Kui couldn't understand for a while, but became even more confused.
"Your wife came to me last night, saying that you don't want to marry Aunt Cui, and you must have another relationship." Gu Haotian deliberately scared him.
"Ahh That's a thing, but my wife is confused, aren't I busy? ”
"However, Brother Li Kui recently had a good relationship with a little lady from Huaishui, and when she returned to the mountain from Dawangzhuang that day, Brother Li Kui was still very attentive to her." At this time, Ma Xun had already understood what Gu Haotian meant, and assisted on the side.
"Battalion Commander Ma, your nonsense, when did I have such a thing, if I was listened to by Aunt Cui, then I ......"
"And what about you?" Gu Haotian asked with a smile.
Li Kui was a little anxious when he saw what Ma Xun said was outrageous, but when he saw the sneering expressions of several people, he knew that he had been fooled.
"You're bullying me." He was suddenly a little angry.
"It's not bullying you, your wife did come to me, think about it, Cui Gu is a little lady who lives in your house for a long time, and you don't give her a name, so in what capacity does she speak to people outside, if you really like her, I think it's better to get married early, so as not to give birth to a lot of right and wrong after a long time."
Li Kui is a tendon, he didn't think about it so much before, he listened to Gu Haotian, and his heart also turned around, thinking, no wonder I heard the old lady say a few days ago that Cuigu and Feng's were going to move out to live, thinking that this was the reason, and suddenly felt a little guilty about Cuigu, and was stunned for a while, and I didn't know what to say.
"Brother Li Kui, you will respond, I will drink the wedding wine as soon as possible." Jiao Ting was also persuading him at this time.
"Petty officials are not as good as this, Brother Li Kui must be worried that a person getting married is not lively enough, I see that Brother Jiao Ting and Na Xue Erniang are also like-minded, and they have also done the family affairs together, and I Liangshan is double happiness." Ma Xun and Jiao Ting got along for a long time, and knew the relationship between him and Xue Erniang, so they took the opportunity to match.
"Battalion Commander Ma Hugh brought me with him, I don't have that kind of thing." Jiao Ting saw that the matter had affected him, and hurriedly shirked it.
"Why is there no such thing, do you think that I Tie Niu is blind, who washes your clothes, who gives you delicious food, could it be that you also fall in love with other little ladies, little officials, I decided that if Jiao Ting's brother marries, I will marry, otherwise Hugh said."
Li Kui was originally worried about being the first to marry on the mountain, and the goal was too big, but now Ma Xun pulled Jiao Ting out, but he was so happy that he grabbed it.
The affection between Jiao Ting and Xue Erniang was already seen by Gu Haotian when he was in Jinling Town, and it was just right to do it together this time. So he said to Jiao Ting:
"The male should get married, the female should be married, this is not very embarrassing, I only ask you, you have Xue Erniang in your heart, if you have this time, you will do it together, Brother Xue Can, I will say it for you, if not, I didn't say it."
"I-I-" Jiao Ting blushed and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Then when you admit it, you will each prepare to go, and I will talk to Brother Xue Can first. It's okay now, you two plus Tao Zongwang brothers, our Liangshan is three joys. Gu Haotian didn't care about Jiao Ting, who was stunned, and left in a hurry.
Xue Can naturally has no opinion on this marriage, not to mention the other two couples, which is a matter of course. Gu Haotian asked Wen Huanzhang to choose a good day, which was scheduled for the 26th of this month. In order to avoid running to the three families at that time, everyone was helpless, Gu Haotian thought of an idea, and asked the three couples to hold a collective wedding in Liangshan Restaurant and hold a wedding banquet together.
The news of the happy event of the three soon spread throughout the mountain, Lijia Daokou and Crouching Tiger Village also passed over, and even Jinling Town also got the news.
As the wedding date of the three slowly approached, the festive atmosphere on Liangshan gradually became stronger. On August 25, a big color platform was erected in front of Liangshan Restaurant, and the leaders from other places rushed back, even Zhu Gui also rushed back from Jinling Town. Brothers from all over the country haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they have to drink two glasses first, but the various restaurants on the street that night are very lively.
The people on the mountain had never seen such a rare wedding, and they rushed to see the strangeness, and the street in front of the Liangshan restaurant was closed to the water early in the morning of the 26th.
At the end of the day, Li Kui's mother and Feng's family, Ruan's mother, Xue Can and his wife, sat in the middle five seats from left to right, Gu Zhen and his wife, Gu Haotian, Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Jiasui, etc., as well as the leaders and stewards of the mountain sat on both sides.
The hour is the auspicious time of the day, in the deafening sound of "cannons" (that is, firecrackers), but I saw the three flower bridges blowing and blowing on the avenue in front, Li Kui on the left, accompanied by Zhu Fu and Ma Xian; In the middle is Tao Zongwang, accompanied by Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi on both sides; On the right is Jiao Ting, accompanied by Sun An and Ma Qiang; All nine of them rode tall horses, and they were very majestic.
"Ma Xian, this kid has a heart, and he can't be busy, but he pulled his brother out to help." Wen Huanzhang said to Xiao Jiasui on the side.
"Sun An is Xue Can's battalion commander, the Ruan family brothers naturally have to accompany their uncle, Zhu Fu is Li Kui's hometown, only Ma Xian, the battalion commander, marries two brothers at once, who else can he find if he doesn't look for our brother." Xiao Jiasui replied with a smile.
After a while, three couples came to their elders. Xiao Rang made today's concubine, under his auspices, the three couples worshipped heaven and earth, the high hall, and worshiped each other, just when everyone thought the wedding was over, Xiao Rang suddenly shouted again, asked the lord of Liangshan Manor, Gu Haotian, a small official, to witness the marriage of the three couples.
What is this marriage ceremony? In the eyes of everyone's novelty, Gu Haotian stepped forward and sent the marriage registration documents of the Civil Affairs Office to the three couples one by one, and then went to the center of the color platform, bowed to the stage, and said:
"Elders, brothers, fathers: today is the great day of the three brothers Tao Zongwang, Li Kui and Jiao Ting, first of all, on behalf of all the people of Liangshan Manor, I wish them a happy marriage, auspicious and wishful, entrusted by the bride and groom, I am very honored to be here to testify to their marriage and their love,...... We wish these three couples eternal marriage, old age, and children and grandchildren, waiting for all generations! ”
Gu Haotian's novel marriage testimony attracted everyone on and off the stage to echo loudly, and all kinds of auspicious greetings resounded in the audience for a while.
Let's say that the three pairs of newcomers standing in the stage were originally the bottom of the society, when they thought that there would be such glory in life, and for a while they all thought of the benefactor who gave them happiness, and the three pairs of newcomers came to Gu Haotian together and knelt down to thank him. However, this kneeling had a great resonance in the hearts of everyone at the scene, and they all thought that their current good days came from the young man standing on the stage. I don't know who suddenly shouted: "Long live the little officials!" ”
"Long live the little officials!" Suddenly, the whole audience sounded like a landslide.
This is a slogan of rebellion, if it is reported that it has been returned outside the mountain, not to mention Gu Haotian's reflection, Gu Zhen's face will be pale with fright.
And everyone who sat on the stage to watch the ceremony, but none of them took it to heart, like Ruan Xiaoqi, Yu Sheng, etc., and shouted.
"The people's hearts are available."
Wen Huanzhang and Xiao Xisui glanced at each other, and they both thought of these four words in their hearts. Later, he called Xiao Rang and asked him to explain to the village chiefs afterwards that today's events should be downplayed as much as possible and should not be spread outside.
On that day, Liangshan Restaurant held a wedding banquet and ate until sunset. Of course, the three couples are the flowers and candles in the cave room, and the people of Heshan are also beaming, but some people in the ancient family are a little uneasy, as for the party Gu Haotian, who is fighting with Pan Jinlian with the strength of wine, what is "long live the thousand autumns" seems to be light and light for him.
