Chapter 5 Yulin's Marriage Preparations for entering Beijing

After Zhang Zhimu sent away all the people he had summoned today, it was already late, and he felt a little tired. I wanted to go home and have a good rest, but when I went out of my house, I found that Yang Yulin was still here, and Zhang Zhimu felt a little strange. During this period of time, Yang Yulin has been busy with marriage, and when there is no major event, she will be busy with her own affairs when she arranges things, and Yang Yulin should not be here at this time.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Zhang Zhimu asked: "I said big beauty, why are you here if you don't go home to Zhang Luo to get married?" ”

Yang Yulin sat there without squeaking.

Zhang Zhimu was even more strange and asked, "Hey! What about you? ”

"Am I your fault?" Yang Yulin squeezed out a sentence fiercely.

Zhang Zhimu knew that the matter was a bit big, otherwise Yang Yulin, who had always been cheerful, would not be like this.

There was a sofa next to Yang Yulin's table, Zhang Zhimu sat on the sofa, faced Yang Yulin, and said, "Look at you like this, what have you been wronged?" ”

Yang Yulin asked, "Do you think I have to marry you?" ”

Zhang Zhimu wanted to tease Yang Yulin and said: "Now that the raw rice has been cooked, you can't marry me." ”

Hearing this, Yang Yulin's eyes widened angrily, and she pressed Zhang Zhimu on the sofa as soon as she got up. Zhang Zhimu thought to himself that he had heard of domestic violence against his wife before, and it seemed that it was impossible for Yang Yulin, and it would be good if people didn't beat him. Zhang Zhimu, who was lying on the sofa, shouted: "Someone! Someone is going to murder their husband. ”

In fact, Yang Yulin was also angry for a while, and after pressing Zhang Zhimu down, she also felt inappropriate, and Zhang Zhimu shouted like this, which also made her angry.

When Yang Yulin got up, Zhang Zhimu pulled it up and said, "Do you think that I am relying on you and have to let you marry me?" ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Oh, what is going on, can't you say it well?" ”

After asking carefully, I found out that Zhang Zhimu meant that the wedding should be simpler, but Yang Yulin had participated in the wedding of Zhang Zhimu and Huang Yukun, and like all women, she also very much hoped to have a grand wedding. Since Zhang Zhimu said that the wedding should be simpler, he can't say anything, but he has always been unhappy in his heart. There is no way to talk about the wedding by himself, but the angry thing is that Zhang Zhimu doesn't seem to care about the wedding at all. Originally, Yang Yulin was angry, but she had been enduring it.

What Yang Yulin didn't expect was that Lu Chengxiang felt that since the wedding should be simpler, the place to arrange to pick up the bride was at her current residence with Mrs. Cai, so there was no need to pick up from Xiurong. Yang Yulin was really angry now. She had been waiting to talk to Zhang Zhimu, but the more anxious she was, the more people in Zhang Zhimu's house kept coming. This made Yang Yulin feel very aggrieved in her heart, felt that Zhang Zhimu didn't respect her at all, and felt that she had to catch up, this grievance, there was nowhere to talk about it.

Zhang Zhimu, who figured out what was going on, of course had a way, and said: "Look at you, how can you be the same as those little women, let me really underestimate you." Isn't it just to take you from Xiurong to get married, so that everyone in Xiurong can see how beautiful you are? This is easy to do, and I will ask Mr. Lu to rearrange it tomorrow. Okay, right? ”

At this moment, it was Yang Yulin's turn to say nothing, but women have women's methods, Yang Yulin suddenly became a little bird again, came over and hugged Zhang Zhimu's arm and asked, "Alas, did you hurt just now?" ”

Of course, Zhang Zhimu knew what to say, "It hurts!" Shoulder pain. ”

Yang Yulin actually knew that Zhang Zhimu was pretending, but Yang Yulin still massaged Zhang Zhimu seriously.

Zhang Zhimu knew that when he returned to Yaogang this time, he had not been alone with Yang Yulin, and he was a little snub to her. It is really too much to let Yang Yulin prepare for marriage by herself.

Zhang Zhimu said: "Okay, let's go and see how the house you cleaned up." ”

Of course Yang Yulin was happy, but she took a lot of effort to clean up the house.

This new house is next to Chen Yufeng's house, and it is also an independent small courtyard, a three-story small building, which is much larger than Zhang Zhimu's original small building. Seeing that the house had been completely cleaned up, Zhang Zhimu said: "This house is so well cleaned, I didn't expect it, I was a little embarrassed when I saw the house, so I bothered you." ”

After receiving Zhang Zhimu's affirmation, Yang Yulin breathed a sigh of relief, obviously in a good mood, and said: "When I bought these things, you still said that I didn't buy enough things." ”

Zhang Zhimu approached Yang Yulin and said, "I also said that you are not enough on the bed." ”

Yang Yulin stretched out his hand and came over to push Zhang Zhimu, Zhang Zhimu casually hugged Yang Yulin and rolled onto the bed, Yang Yulin broke free and said, "This new house has not been inhabited yet." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Then let's live for a while." ”

couldn't stand Zhang Zhimu's stubbornness, and the two of them had another rain on the bed.

It seems that women are very easy to coax, and the unhappiness on Yang Yulin's face is a cloud that has all passed. A big reason for Yang Yulin's dissatisfaction is Zhang Zhimu's neglect.

As long as a woman is willing, she can give everything, but this willingness needs to be nurtured and cultivated.

Zhang Zhimu and Yang Yulin's wedding was held on an auspicious day calculated by Ouyang He.

Although Zhang Zhimu wants to make the wedding simpler, because of Zhang Zhimu's current reputation and influence, and Yang Yulin's reputation is not small, the wedding of these two is still not small. Fortunately, the shrewd Lu Chengxiang had already thought about it. Even though there were a lot more guests than expected, it was very well handled. Because the kiln gang is now a place for people, people and places, it is different from before.

Before the wedding, the bride was picked up from Xiurong's courtyard according to Yang Yulin's request. Yang Yulin's heart is that her father is gone, and she must let her neighbors know that she married in style.

Of course, Zhang Zhimu could understand Yang Yulin's thoughts, as soon as the gate of Xiucheng opened, there were twenty taels of steel spring carriages behind the twenty glass carriages, and a large number of them entered Xiurong City. All the guests of the Yang family took a glass carriage to the kiln, and Yang Yulin's dowry filled the carriage behind.

Yang Yulin left Xiurong City under the gaze of Xiurong's fathers and elders. The most eye-catching thing is. On both sides of the glass carriage that Yang Yulin rode were her two teams of majestic female soldiers riding a red horse.

When Zhang Zhimu saw Yang Yulin's female soldiers, he thought that it would be good if no one matched them all.

There are still not many cumbersome ceremonies for the wedding, and I have to go through it all over again, but this time Zhang Zhimu already has experience and knows that he just needs to listen to the arrangement.

Among the people who came to attend the wedding, Zhang Zhimu suddenly found Yan Xing and Li Kui, which made Zhang Zhimu very happy. This time, Zhang Zhimu didn't see Yan Xing after he came back, because Yan Xing went to the area of Yulin, Shaanxi. Zhang Zhimu has always been thinking about this.

At the wedding, Lu Chengxiang, Zhang Luo, and Zhang Zhimu didn't worry about it at all.

Originally, Yang Yulin wanted Huang Yukun and Xiaohu Xiaoqing to move into a new house first. Huang Yukun said: "When your wedding is finished and Zhimu goes to Beijing, we will move over." ”

Huang Yukun wanted Zhang Zhimu and Yang Yulin to live in a two-person world for a few days. What comforted Zhang Zhimu was that the two children, Xiaohu and Xiaoqing, had a good relationship with Yang Yulin. Although Zhang Zhimu could see that he was not too happy to marry Yang Yulin's two children, he did not have much reaction. Once, when Zhang Zhimu was with Xiaoqing and Xiaohu, Zhang Zhimu told them, no matter what, I will take you two to heart, and you don't have to worry that if I marry Aunt Yulin, it will affect my concern for you. No, it won't. If Yulin cares about you, it will make you happier.

The two children didn't speak, but just leaned on Zhang Zhimu's body tightly, and Zhang Zhimu also hugged them, making them feel more secure.

Regardless of the people drinking outside, Zhang Zhimu still entered the cave room.

Yang Yulin couldn't wait for someone to remove her hijab. Zhang Zhimu is also experienced, Zhang Zhimu, who entered the cave room, poured a cup of tea for himself, sat there and looked at Yang Yulin with a hijab, and slowly drank tea. After a while, Zhang Zhimu asked, "Miss Yang, do you want to remove your hijab?" ”

Yang Yulin was angry and wanted to be happy, how could she ask herself about this, she also knew that Zhang Zhimu was deliberately angry with her, so she endured it and didn't speak. Seeing that Yang Yulin didn't speak, Zhang Zhimu said, "If you don't speak, you haven't thought about it?" If you're not in a hurry, you can think about it slowly, and tell me when you're ready. ”

Zhang Zhimu got up and turned back and forth beside Yang Yulin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, but he didn't lift his head without moving his hands.

According to the rules, Yang Yulin can't remove her head by herself. Zhang Zhimu knew that Yang Yulin had been wearing the hijab alone for a long time, so he uncovered the hijab at once. At this moment, Yang Yulin was liberated, and in order to avenge Fang Cai, Yang Yulin hugged Zhang Zhimu and pressed Zhang Zhimu down on the bed.

This time it's time for Zhang Zhimu to beg for mercy.

Yang Yulin called water and asked Zhang Zhimu to wash, the two lay down on the bed, and Yang Yulin asked, "Are you happy this year?" This is a stupid remark, but this is also the time to ask.

Zhang Zhimu replied: "When I was a child, I heard a few words called 'Hui Lang Jue's second wife, fried meatballs and salted chicken. ’”

"What do you mean?" Yang Yulin asked.

Zhang Zhimu looked at Yang Yulin and said, "It's all good things!" ”

Yang Yulin stopped hearing this, and said, "Okay, you have made me something." How could you say such a thing? In fact, Yang Yulin was very conflicted in his heart, he didn't know why Zhang Zhimu, the saint in his mind, would say such a thing.

Zhang Zhimu laughed in his heart and said, "Alas! Hooligans are not scary, they are afraid that hooligans are educated. ”

"What do you call a hooligan?" Yang Yulin asked.

Zhang Zhimu said: "It's those bad people who are not serious. ”

Zhang Zhimu was in a hurry to do something, but Yang Yulin still had to talk about her feelings. There was no way for Zhang Zhimu to accompany the happy bride, and he talked late before getting down to business. Zhang Zhimu understands that getting a name is more important to a woman than anything else, and Yang Yulin wants to enjoy this moment.

The next day, after Zhang Zhimu got up, he went straight to Chen Yufeng's command center, he wanted to see Yan Xing earlier.

At this time, Yan Xing and the others were talking about something in Chen Yufeng's command center, and when they saw Zhang Zhimu coming in, Yan Xing quipped: "Mr. Zhang, they all say that the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold. What are you doing so early? ”

"Oh, I'm in a hurry to see you. I want to know what's going on over there. Zhang Zhimu said.

Li Kui had several senior brothers, who joined a group of horse thieves near Yulin in Shaanxi Province due to official affairs. It turned out that there were thousands of horse thieves when they were big, and later most of them joined Li Zicheng's team, and there were more than 1,000 people who didn't want to be controlled, so they had been horse thieves over there. None of them agreed. This time Li Kui heard about them and told Yan Xing, Yan Xing felt that this was a force that could be fought for, so he crossed the Yellow River with Li Kui to find them on the grounds of seeing his old friends.

Yan Xing and the others arrived in Yulin, and according to the agreement, after finding this group of people, Li Kui and several of his brothers and sisters were embarrassed, feeling that the years were passing too quickly. After introducing the situation to each other, these people didn't use Yan Xing to speak, so they begged Yan Xing and Li Kui to take their team away, and they said that they must take refuge in Yaogang.

In their eyes, Li Zicheng is still a thief, and it is better to be a thief than to be a thief himself. They are even more disdainful of the court's surrender, because what they hate most is the officials and soldiers of the court, that is, something worse than bandits. They heard that Yan Xing and Li Kui and their family members on the mountain had arrived at Yaogang, the children had gone to school, and the family members could earn their own money if they wanted. There are also the heaven-like days of Yaogang, so that their hearts have already flown to Yaogang.

However, Yan Xing said to them: "The discipline of the kiln gang can be very strict, if you can stand that discipline, I will go back and introduce your situation to Mr. Zhang." ”

These people all said: "Didn't we come out to be bandits just to eat a bite to eat, if we can live a human life like a kiln, we will definitely suffer it." ”

Chen Yufeng said: "These people are people who live on horseback all year round, and they are the best cavalrymen. Give their old escapes to Yan Boju and help the old ones raise horses. Young organize and learn a little and soon become good fighters. ”

Ouyang He said: "My opinion is this, of course it is a good thing for them to return to our kiln, but it is an extra thousand cavalry. I don't think it's as good as this, if their families want to, they will be sent back to Yaogang, they will still stay in Shaanxi, and their supplies will be guaranteed by us. In this way, their conditions can also be improved, and in the future, when we attack Shaanxi, there will be a pioneer there. ”

Ouyang He's opinion was unanimously approved by everyone, and Zhang Zhimu said: "Then we still have to let the brothers in Shaanxi suffer some more." However, they can send people to the kiln in batches to study, and everyone has the opportunity to rest and study. ”

Yan Xing said: "Mr. Zhang is still thoughtful. The living conditions of the brothers there are so poor that they are not even comparable to the days before our Niutou Mountain. ”

Liu Kui said: "This person is weird, we used to think that Niutou Mountain was good, at least we didn't have to worry about eating and drinking." But our little rabbit cubs, after they went to Yaogang to study, the school was on vacation, so they would go to Niutou Mountain to see and not go back. ”

After everyone laughed together, Yan Xing said: "Those children are afraid that they will not be able to return to Yaogang if they return to Niutou, so they resolutely do not go back." After everyone laughed for a while, Yan Xing said: "Mr. Zhang, I'll go with you when I go back to Beijing this time, I always feel that the emperor has no good intentions, and I'm a little worried." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "You can't go, Niutou Mountain must be guarded." I think the fortifications of Niutou Mountain need to be strengthened, and our smelting plant, Lingshui Wharf and Kiln Gang are three fortresses, and we have to face hundreds of thousands of Li Zicheng's army. Although the place is not big, the terrain is definitely dangerous. It is necessary to leave some men there as a maneuver. I don't have to worry about going to Beijing. ”

Chen Yufeng said: "Our arrangement is that Ouyang He and I stay in the kiln, and Zhimu takes Liu Yun, Li Jing and Li Zhi to Beijing together. There is no need for many people, 200 people are enough. ”

Yan Xing thought for a moment and said, "Yes, if you go to war with the emperor, it will be useless to have a few more people." However, I think we should secretly send some people to our intelligence point outside Beijing before you to hide it. Once something happens, it's a response. ”

Chen Yufeng said: "We thought of a piece, because this time Zhimu is going to enter Beijing with Gonggong Li, and it is not appropriate to bring too many people." We are going to let Meng Si'er take someone to Beijing first, and Meng Si'er is familiar with the situation there. ”

Zhang Zhimu and Yan Xing discussed the strategy for dealing with Li Zicheng and other issues. After the discussion, it was decided to set up a secret telegraph line between Yaogang and Niutou Mountain, because it was really impossible to pave it completely with underground cables to Niutou Mountain, so it was decided to secretly erect a telegraph line in the mountain, and the section of the line from Yaogang to Niutou Mountain should be buried so as to facilitate secrecy.

Zhang Zhimu's plan to enter Beijing this time is Jingcheng (on Jingcheng Mountain in Jingcheng County, Northern Province), also called Tumen Pass.

There are only eight passages from Shanxi to Henan and Zhongshu Province (Hebei) through the Taihang Mountains, which are also called the Taihang Eight Paths. Jing Cheng is the fifth of them.

Before leaving, Zhang Zhimu wanted Yang Yulin to stay in Yaogang, saying, "You just got married, just stay at home and rest." ”

But Yang Yulin said: "I always feel that something is going to happen to you when you go to Beijing this time, and I don't feel at ease." "I had no choice but to let Yang Yulin follow.

In order to hide people's eyes, the reason why Zhang Zhimu set off this time was to follow the caravan to Zhongshu Province to inspect the market situation, and of course Lu Chengxiang wanted to follow. However, Zhang Zhimu knew that his family could not do without Lu Chengxiang, so he arranged for Lu Chengxiang to go to Zhongshu Province to sell the goods, and then take Li Zhi and his family back and go back to Yaogang directly.

Leaving the kiln, Zhang Zhimu still has one thing to worry about: Huang Yukun is about to give birth. The day before leaving, Zhang Zhimu returned to Huang Yukun's side. Huang Yukun also said: "I wasn't too worried about you leaving before, I don't know why I'm a little worried this time." I just can't rest assured. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "You guys, you are all scared by the emperor." Are you worried that they won't do anything to me? He still needs me. ”

Huang Yukun, who manages the vault of Yaogang, said: "It's not convenient for me to look at our newly built vault, I don't know how it has been built?" ”

"Don't worry! The outside of the vault is made of stone cement dozens of meters wide, and the inside is three meters back, and a layer of reinforced cement is pounded, and then inside is a layer of ten centimeters of manganese steel plates, and the innermost part is completely welded with five centimeters of steel plates. There are three coded doors there. The password door is also made of manganese steel, and each door has two hidden locks, and the door cannot be opened without a password or a key, and it cannot be opened without a key without a password. Even with**It's not a small amount** that can be exploded. The average person has no choice but to find the vault. In addition, we cast both gold and silver into large balls, even if we open the vault, it is difficult to transport such gold and silver without means of transportation. Unless they spend the silver and gold again. Zhang Zhimu said.

Huang Yukun said: "The house above also needs to add a few locks. Don't let anyone get in easily. Once there's the underground vault, that's the last line of defense. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Don't worry, the house above is also made of cement. Ordinary people can't attack without artillery. ”

"Actually, it's useless to ask for so much gold and silver, I just want you to be at home, and we can live a good life. You go, come and choose a name for your child! Huang Yukun said.

Zhang Zhimu said: "I have thought about it. If it's a boy, it's called Erhu, and a girl is Xiaoyu. ”

Huang Yukun said: "These two names are good, I estimate that Xiaohu will have a younger brother named Erhu." ”
