Chapter 408: Pushing the Boat Downstream
Li Yan shook his head with a smile and said, "If you agree, you may give them an illusion, and there will be some trouble in the future." (The best experience to read is in [])"
"That's just right." Li Mu immediately smiled and said, "Man, there is nothing wrong with having more wives and concubines. A teapot always has to be paired with several teacups to look good. Hahaha. ”
Li Zhong frowned and said: "Thinking about these things all day long, there will be trouble in the backyard in the future, and you will have a headache!" ”
"Who dares?!" Li Mu said contemptuously: "If you go down with a whip, you will be honest." ”
Li Yan reminded: "You have to take care of your in-laws, if there is anything illegal, I will not tolerate it!" ”
"Fourth brother, don't worry, I will take care of them!" Li Mu said a little unhappily. Li Yan has said this several times, as if his family will not follow the rules.
Li Zhong persuaded: "Just to remind you, you can't even stand this?" If you don't care about it now, if something goes wrong in the future, it's not a matter of saying a few words. ”
"No, the fourth brother is right, I'll listen." Li Mu clenched his fists, smiled reluctantly, and said.
Li Yan turned to the question of marriage again and asked, "Do you all think this matter is appropriate?" ”
Li Zhong nodded and said, "I don't think there's any harm, if we don't succeed in the future, maybe we can go around one or two." I heard that the title of this county lord is Anping, and the emperor personally gave it to him, so it should have some weight. ”
Li Yan smiled and said, "What weight does Wu Niang have? If he hadn't met me before, he would have been married to a rich family with a dead wife. ”
"Who? That Wu Niang? Li Mu asked in surprise: "He is the county lord of the Zhou Palace?" ”
Li Yan nodded and said, "It should be her, at this time, there is no other county lord in Kaifeng City." ”
"Hey! How can she look like a county lord? Even the young lady of the rich family. It's still a big foot, like a village woman. Li Mu said bitterly.
As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, Wang Renhui, Blacksmith Zhou, Master Niu, Master Huang and others came. One by one, they smiled and bowed their hands to Li Yan and said, "Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general." ”
Blacksmith Zhou pretended to be unhappy and asked, "Childe, the wedding date has already been set, why don't you say anything to us?" Although we are not a blessed family, we can still afford a little courtesy. ”
Several other people also smiled and said, "That's it, that's it, I can still make up a congratulatory gift for the general, how can you not inform me and wait?" ”
And Master Niu was extremely happy. After waiting for everyone to finish, he took out a box and said with a smile: "This is a congratulatory gift from the old man to you, and when you go back, you can bring it to Wu Niang." ”
Before Li Yan took the box, the guards came to report that the officials of the Ma Dian Shi and the government and other gentry and wealthy families were all outside to ask to see.
Li Yan looked at Li Zhong and Li Mu helplessly, the two of them were so delayed, and the whole city really knew about it. He had to let everyone in.
"I'm waiting to congratulate the general on getting married!" Everyone came in, led by Ma Dianshi, and they all bowed down and hugged their fists to congratulate Li Yan.
Li Yan said helplessly: "Thank you." ”
Ma Dianshi said: "General, although the palace has brought the ingredients on his behalf, and he has also brought a cook, he wants to set up a banquet in the open space in front of the county office. However, the general's wedding, I also want to express it. I discussed with all my colleagues and decided to take out the rice and grain I was waiting for a month, exchange it for some wine, meat, fruits and vegetables, and add a few dishes to the general's wedding banquet to express my heart. ”
They knew that Li Yan would never tolerate their misappropriation of the property of the government office, and the money and property of their families had been almost consumed during the food shortage in the past few years, and now they did not have much money. Those corrupt and robbed officials have long been cleared out of the yamen, so these officials can only use their rice as congratulatory gifts.
"They took the ingredients and the chef themselves?" Li Yan asked in surprise.
Ma Dianshi nodded and said: "Yes, they have already started to prepare on the control field outside the yamen, saying that they are going to set up a water banquet, and the ingredients are all transported from the royal grange." Now the people in the neighborhood have brought the tables, chairs and door panels of the house and are helping to decorate them. ”
At this time, one of Li Yan's personal soldiers came in and reported: "General, the people of the Zhou Wangfu are building a colorful building in front of our mansion, please show the general." ”
Li Yan could only admire the meticulous preparation of Steward Wang of the palace, he didn't have to take care of anything, he had everything done for him. This is forcing him to marry the county lord today.
"Let them be." Li Yan commanded helplessly.
After that, he said to everyone: "Li has thanked you for your hospitality, let's have a good drink tonight." ”
Everyone resigned to Li Yan, what should they do.
"Hahaha," waiting for everyone to leave, Li Mu said with a smile: "Fourth brother, now you can't refuse." ”
Li Yan simply said: "Order, lunch and dinner, each soldier will be given two taels of wine, three taels of officers, and the whole army will add meat, everyone will have fun!" ”
Li Zhong nodded and said, "Okay." After that, he asked: "If Li Chuang knows about it, will anything happen?" ”
Li Mu sneered and said, "What changes does he dare to have?" If you don't want to cooperate with us, let's kill them together with the officers and soldiers! After that, he said to Li Yan: "Second brother, you don't have to worry about these things, just be your groom's official with peace of mind." ”
Li Yan nodded and said, "I haven't prepared anything yet, this thing is done." ”
"Looking at the style of the Zhou Mansion, you just have to go back and take a bath, and the rest of them are ready." Li Zhong said with a smile.
"I don't know if the five mothers are willing?" Li Yan said in a low voice.
Li Zhong suddenly asked, "Have you ever had a birthday?" ”
Li Yan shook his head.
"That's not okay, isn't this a mess?" Li Zhong is still very concerned about his brother's affairs. He instructed: "You ask people to come to Wu Niang's birthday, you must take a look at it first, and if there is a conflict, it is easy to resolve it." ”
"You don't have to bother with it, do you?" Li Yan didn't feel the need to get these things.
Li Zhong said sternly: "No! It's the rule, you have to listen to me! At this time, he still showed his brother's momentum, and he was no longer Li Yan's subordinate.
Li Yan had no choice but to agree, and he just went back to clean up.
When he returned home, he realized that King Zhou's Mansion had just built a colorful building in front of his house, but there was nothing in the layout. The people of the palace only have a bright appearance and make a noise, and there are no other details. Now the people in the family are in a hurry to buy red cloth, candles, and quilts, and even the groom's wedding clothes have to be made.
Fortunately, this is Li Yan's happy event, and there is no shop in the county town that does not work hard, and they will not charge money, even if they contribute a little bit to Li Yan's happy event. Everything was done as quickly as possible, and they didn't dare to delay the auspicious time of their great benefactor.
