Chapter 409: Hastily Marriage
As soon as noon, the people in the city brought some wheat or potatoes to the ceremony, and the officials in the county government were helping to keep accounts.
There is no way, and now in Qi County, there is no food to make of silver. Although the grain in Qixian County is basically not counted, in Qixian County and Guide Province, grain is still used as an equivalent to replace the role of silver money. The people are also honest people, and they know that the money is very much now, and one or two silver can't buy any good things, so it's better to use food directly as a congratulatory gift.
Fortunately, the people in the Zhou Wangfu are also smart, and there are not a few dishes in total, so you can eat a little bit first, and then you can only eat multigrain noodles. They kept all the good ingredients for the evening.
Steward Wang asked to see Li Yan in the afternoon. He saw that Li Yan was unhappy, so he immediately apologized and said: "General Li, time is in a hurry, everything is simple, please don't be surprised." When the thieves outside Kaifeng City were beaten away, the prince had already selected a Yibin Mansion for General Li in the city, as well as two four-entry mansions and five street shops, and there would naturally be no shortage of gold and silver treasures. There are also two granges, and the grange in Qixian County is one of them. ”
Li Yan sneered: "It's just because of the rush of time? ”
Steward Wang cried and said, "General Li, Kaifeng is really in danger." The thieves not only attached ants to the city, but also blew up the city. Every day, one or two tunnels will be excavated, and more than ten tunnels will be excavated. Officers and soldiers fought bloody battles with thieves in order to destroy the thieves' tunnels. If there is a slight negligence, Kaifeng City will not be as lucky as last time. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng City are waiting for General Li to come to the rescue. ”
Li Yan said with a cold face: "Last time, there were less than 100,000 thieves, but this time there are hundreds of thousands. And I don't have a single soldier, so how can I break the siege? I also have to wait for other reinforcements from the imperial court to come before I can attack the thieves, otherwise if there is no containment from me, the thieves can increase their army by at least 100,000 outside Kaifeng City! ”
"But Kaifeng can't wait." Steward Wang said helplessly: "There is not much food in Kaifeng City, if you don't rescue it, you may be cannibalized!" Kaifeng is really in danger. ”
Li Yan said: "The reinforcements of the imperial court will arrive in three or five days. ”
"Three or five days? That's good. Steward Wang said excitedly. Although he is in Qi County, he doesn't know any of this news. Now that I hear the news, I can be regarded as half relieved.
After that, he said: "Now there is only the marriage between the general and the county lord, it is really not well prepared, please take care of General Li." ”
"You just build momentum, and nothing else?!" Li Yan asked dissatisfiedly.
Steward Wang arched his hand and said: "It's really a helpless move. The prince didn't know the news, he didn't know the news from the outside world, and he just wanted General Li to rescue Kaifeng earlier. Our county lord has come here with the general a long time ago, and he is walking in the mansion, and the prince also wants to do good things for the county lord and the general. It's just that the villain is not thoughtful, and there is some manipulation in the middle, so he asks General Li for forgiveness. ”
In the evening, Wu Niang, who was already dressed in a full set of wedding clothes, covered her head and got on the sedan chair. After that, the team picked up the sedan chair and went in the opposite direction of Li Yan's mansion, and only came to Li Yan's mansion after half a circle around the county seat.
And before that, the two of them also asked someone to see the eight characters of their birthdays. Fortunately, there is nothing to clash, and it is also a good fortune, which makes Li Zhong feel a lot more relieved.
Since the palace did not prepare specific details, it could only follow the rules of the people. However, here in Li Yan, no one dared to ask for red envelopes, and the sedan chair stopped directly over the brazier. After that, the bride got off the sedan chair and got off the saddle and was directly invited into the lobby. It's all set up, and it's just waiting for the bride and groom to worship heaven and earth.
Li Yan's parents couldn't come, so they could only leave this position vacant. Wang Dejiang presided over the ceremony, which was very simple, just worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping parents, and worshipping husband and wife would be over. After that, Li Yan dragged Wu Niang to the cave room with red silk, and Li Yan came out to accompany the guests.
Li Yan came out and toasted and thanked everyone. There were not dozens, but hundreds. There are rich gentry in the city, there are officers above 100 who are not in charge, and there are security chiefs in the city.
At first, Li Yan was able to drink one cup for important personnel, but after drinking more than ten cups, his feet were a little vain. Later, I could only drink one drink per table, and then I could only take a sip in my mouth.
"Dashuai," Feng Cheng said with a big bowl of wine: "Today is your big day, and we rarely drink wine, so we take this opportunity to toast Dashuai." ”
The other officers also stood up, each holding a large bowl of wine in their hands, and toasted Li Yan.
"You, you, want, pay attention." Li Yan, supported by Sun Sifu, said with a big tongue: "No, you can drink too much!" Dry! After finishing speaking, he also drank most of the wine in his wine glass.
"Don't worry, I'll understand!" The officers said loudly, and they also drank the wine with a bang.
As for Li Mu and Li Zhong, they naturally had to drink two more glasses separately.
Bridal chamber.
Wu Niang sat on the bed bored, and heard the sound of the door opening at this time. She thought it was Li Yan who came in, and nervously grabbed the corner of her clothes, not knowing what to do.
"Are you hungry?"
When Wu Niang heard it, it turned out to be Qiu Niang's voice. So he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm not hungry, I'm just panicking." ”
"It's all like this," Qiu Niang sat down beside Wu Niang and said in a low voice: "When I got married, I also sat alone for more than an hour. ”
"He's in, what should I do?" Going to the mother asked worriedly.
Qiu Niang said in a low voice: "Then what else can there be." Lift your hijab, eat a drink, and then go to sleep. Anyway, you're already acquainted, so you don't need to be familiar with each other anymore. ”
"But, but~" Wu Niang said with difficulty: "My mother's filial piety has not yet passed, I, how can I~"
Qiu Niang persuaded: "Don't be afraid, if you are married, what do you care about?" And this is a great meritorious thing, saving hundreds of thousands of lives. Your mother is underground, and she will be happy for you. ”
"It was for the lives of those hundreds of thousands of people that I had to marry." Wu Niang shook her head, her big red hijab swayed, and said, "If I am asked to do other things, I would rather die!" ”
Qiu Niang hurriedly persuaded: "What is this, you don't have to think about it." Childe was drunk in front of him, and even if he wanted to do something, he couldn't do it. You don't have to think about it. ”
"What if?" Wu Niang took out a dagger from her cuff, looked at it and put it back again, and said, "If he uses force, I will use this to commit suicide." ”
Qiu Niang wanted to snatch the dagger out of Wu Niang, but she didn't succeed. She hurriedly persuaded, "What are you doing here?" It's not that serious, really, it's not that serious. ”
"I've made up my mind!" Wu Niang said firmly: "I have done what I should do, and I will never back down on the rest!" ”
