In August, the people of Xin'anzhuang discussed the marriage of Yang Xianggong and Qian Xiaoniang.

If the emperor's wedding is not a matter of one person, the marriage of Yang He is not just his business.

The current Yang He, with thousands of heavy soldiers, tens of thousands of people under his command, and tens of thousands of acres of fields, are all his private property and private soldiers, and he is still an official of the seventh grade of the imperial court, and he is no longer the former Wuxia Ameng.

His marriage was sloppy, not because he was faceless alone, but because tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians collectively lost face, and they couldn't be despised by leisure.

It was presided over by the council hall, and Yang He's friend Zhou Mingyuan also joined in, in strict accordance with the procedures, three books and six ceremonies, no one was missing.

At this time, the wedding, Nacai, Xiangming, Najib, Nazheng, invitation, and personal welcome, these are the six ceremonies. There are also three books, the letter of appointment, the letter of ceremony, and the letter of welcome.

The wedding procedure is cumbersome and complicated, and it is estimated that it will take more than half a year to complete the whole set, but it is necessary, and if the "three books and six ceremonies" are incomplete, it will not be considered "Ming Media is marrying", and if he is accused of not saying it, he will also release a wrong signal to the outside world, thinking that he Yang He does not like his wife's room and despises it.

Therefore, it is necessary to do what it should be, and the change in cognitive climate is not an overnight thing.

Just like the so-called wife and flat wife, at this time do not recognize, regardless of the household law or the eyes of the world, they all think that the flat wife is still a concubine, unless the so-called flat wife does not enter the clan for a lifetime, does not return to the ancestral house, otherwise if you want to recognize the ancestors and return to the family, you have to perform the concubine ceremony when you go home.

The time selected by the council hall as "welcoming in person" is next spring, and the state is based on agriculture, which coincides with the agricultural leisure and the harvest is a good match.

Yang He thinks it's good, on March 16, the spring season, the spring flowers are blooming, and many things have come to an end.

There is no opinion on the ninth master's side, although after the New Year, his daughter is eighteen years old and nineteen years old, but after Najib, Sanniang is already Yang Xianggong's wife who has not passed the door, and the wood is already in the boat, and it doesn't matter if the "welcome" time is early or late.

That's it, all parties have no opinions, and Yang He has set a date.

Although the overall marriage is cumbersome, because they are all handled by subordinates, Yang He is still relaxed, only Nacai, Najib, and wild geese need to be used when the invitation is due, and those who are alive and in pairs have to be caught in person, which consumes some of Yang He's energy.

When recruiting money, in addition to the regular dowry in the letter of appointment, Yang He also gave Jiuye Xin'an a share as an appointment ceremony, and privately gave Qian Sanniang a share, which is unique.

Earlier, Xin'an set ten percent of the shares, Deng Patrol accounted for one percent, the local people accounted for one percent, Yang He accounted for eighty percent, this wedding, counted as two percent of the father-in-law's wife, the sincerity is very sufficient.

It is also counted as some private money that Yang He gave to his wife.

At this time, there are seven sins, one of which is theft, "The son and wife have no selfish goods, no selfish animals, and no selfish instruments." Even the dowry only has the right to use, not ownership, and without the consent of the husband, borrowing it privately or with others constitutes the "crime of theft" and can be divorced.

At this time, the queen was the leader of the moon, and the property control was in the hands of the emperor, and it was placed in the people, and the property control was also a man, but Yang He thought that his wife could have a certain amount of economic autonomy.

Men don't have economic autonomy and suffering, women don't have the same pain, they need freedom and breathing space, they have their own travel, their own feasts, their own rewards, etc., but they have no money in their hands, and they will wither and wither everywhere.

Therefore, Yang He gave Qian Sanniang a share of private money, and she took it, and now the development of Xin'anji is getting better and better, and the money of a share can live a very chic life.

In addition, Yang He also renovated his residence for the marriage room, he lived in Pizhou Lian General Government Office, with a construction area of nearly 3,000 square meters, and lived comfortably, and the upper room of the private residence for rest was also a big courtyard, as well as an elegant back garden, as a wedding room.

The interior of the upper room is basically the same, but some areas need to be remodeled.

"Sanniang, look, there is a door here in the west and it leads to the west ear room. The transept has been changed here, half of the bathroom, half of the toilet. In this way, there is no need for a toilet bath indoors. The same is true of the east end room, which also opens a door to the ear room, which is converted into a toilet and bathroom. ”

Yang He said to Qian Sanniang beside her, she has a house in Xin'anzhuang, but she lives in a military camp in Pizhou, Yang He often calls her to explain her decoration layout, as a wife, she can also provide some decoration suggestions.

If Yang River is such an official's residence, the main bedroom is generally five rooms wide, sitting in the north and facing south, and the middle is called the bright room, which is generally arranged as a large living room.

The east and west sides go inward, divided into the second room, the tip room, the layout is so "west between the west tip - the west time - the bright room - the east time - the east tip room", with a screen or a gauze cabinet partition, and can be set up a curved ruler door or something.

Ordinary people sleep in the west room, and the west room is set up as a small hall outside, and a kang can be set up under the south window and the north window, so that you can eat and rest. The east room and the east corner room are used as a study, and they can also be furnished with the treasures they have collected, and at the same time, they can set up a kang to rest when they are tired.

The layout of Yang He's original house was roughly the same, and now it remains the same, only some furniture has been replaced, and there are two meters high and one-ton rhinoceros moon mirrors snatched from Tongshan bandits. The most important thing is the change in the layout of the toilet and bathroom.

It turned out that Yang He was alone, and when he was going to go to the toilet, he went to the thatched house in the southwest corner of the yard, but now that he is married, this issue must be taken seriously.

He also hated the fact that the toilet was placed in the bedroom, and it happened that there were ear rooms on both sides of the main house of the courtyard, one or two deep, which were usually used for warehouses, kitchens, or servants.

But there are not many people in Yanghe, and the upper room is a large courtyard, and the guards can live in the east and west wings or the south room. This room has been empty, and it is still two rooms deep, so let's change it to a toilet and a bathroom.

"Such a big toilet?" Qian Sanniang stood beside Yang He, her eyes were shining, and her expression was radiant, "There are bathrooms, they are all big rooms." ”

Yang He said with a smile: "The toilet is big and the bathroom is comfortable, and we can take a mandarin duck bath or something in it if it's okay." ”

Qian Sanniang's face flushed, and then her eyes curved, she peeked at the man next to her, only to feel that the world in front of her was bright and warm.

Yang He is contemplative, and he and Sanniang make a bedroom between the west end of the door to the west ear room, two deep big rooms, part of the screen partition as a toilet, built into a "toilet raft" type, with hardwood hollowed out in the middle of the toilet shape, convenient for people to sit.

There are handrails next to the toilet where you can put paper, calligraphy and paintings. There is a water tank next to it, which can be flushed and soaked. Outside the toilet is a leaky well, and outside the wall, it is surrounded by a low wall for easy cleaning. Of course, this job doesn't need him to do it with Sanniang.

Another pool was built as a bath, and there were tables and screens around it.

The general style is more modern, of course, there is a difference from the flush toilet of later generations, not that it cannot be copied, but it is meaningless.

There is no "rain and sewage diversion", a perfect and professional sewer system, and the flush toilet brings only disaster.

The British first invented flush toilets, and the filth first accumulated in septic tanks, causing serious soil pollution, and then discharged into the streets.

Later, drainage ditches were laid in the streets, and sewage was discharged into the river, which was a disaster. The rivers became rivers of dung, and the smell was incomparable, and the whole city was surrounded by a stench. Moreover, drinking water depends on rivers, and water plants transport toxic river water to thousands of households, posing a serious threat to the health of residents.

In the 18th century, in cities such as London, Paris, and New York in the 19th century, an average of eight out of ten children died because they drank contaminated water.

The only way to bring serious disasters to seemingly clean flush toilets is to improve the sewers, especially "rain and sewage diversion", rainwater can be discharged into the river, but sewage and feces must be specially piped, away from the city, and there must be a corresponding treatment plant.

This investment is very large, just like the Germans in Qingdao, their gathering area adopted the "rain and sewage diversion" model, in order to save costs, rainwater and sewage will be discharged to the Chinese gathering area.

As a result, the Germans lived in clean and tidy places, and the Chinese people lived in stinking and plagues. The inhabitants had been surrounded by sewage and feces excreted by the Germans for decades, and there was no human habitation at all.

Therefore, even if Pizhou is forgotten, this kind of old city can not be transformed at all, Yanghe has built a new canal town, and a sewer system has been built, "rain and sewage diversion", rainwater and sewage discharge have their own systems, especially sewage and feces flow far away, and there are special treatment places.

Unlike in the West, in the East, dung is a very good resource, and it will be a great source of wealth in the future.

In addition, Yang He also took Qian Sanniang to look around, he was ready to build a warm pavilion in the West Flower Hall, two forms, one type of floor heating, more popular in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and later generations were mostly in South Korea, the whole ground is set up with a flue, and the wooden planks are laid on it, and you can sit on the ground when you enter the door, and you can sleep on the spot by pulling the quilt.

In the cold winter, it is very comfortable in the warm pavilion, because the stove is located outside, and there is no trace of smoke in the warm pavilion, which is quiet and elegant. The main Yanghe River is used to entertain some more elegant people, and in winter, you can also sit on the ground and talk about poetry and music.

There is also a kind of warm pavilion to burn firewood, that is, the style of the fireplace chimney, set up a table, set up chairs, lay fur cushions on it, prepare blankets, and Yanghe's wolf skin chair is also placed here.

Mainly entertain some more rude people, sometimes also party with subordinates, drink wine, eat meat and chat, and the atmosphere must be very good.

Qian Sanniang has no interest in the floor heating pavilion, but when she listens to the fireplace-style heating pavilion, her eyes are shining, thinking about how comfortable it is to have one of them, roasting a fire in the house in winter, while drinking and eating meat and chatting with Sister Ruwan and others?

Looking at her, Yang He smiled and said generously: "Okay, I'll build you a fireplace-style warm pavilion in the East Flower Hall." ”

……

Feelings need to be cultivated, in August and September, Yang He invited Qian Sanniang to go out from time to time, shopping or something.

On this day in September, he invited Qian Sanniang to Yingcuifang in the west of the city to take a walk, at this time the weather was cooler, the fields were gilded, and the chrysanthemums were blooming. Walking on the street, it is obvious that the streets and alleys of Pizhou are more vigorous and energetic, and there is a quiet and hopeful smile on the faces of the people.

Recently, Lord Yang and Mrs. Qian have appeared in various streets and alleys from time to time, talking and laughing side by side, everyone has seen it for a long time, only respectful and respectful salute, and then the two of them went over, leaving a voice of envy and discussion.

The people in the market are like this, Yang He is also happy in his heart, he takes Qian Sanniang to walk around at will, pointing and laughing from time to time, Chen Qiuao and others follow behind, if they leave, they will not lose the meaning of guarding and guarding, and they will not be light bulbs.

"Sanniang, let's go over there and have a look." Yang He pointed to a silver jewelry shop and said that the west side of the city is a place with beautiful scenery in Pizhou, and most of the commercial goods sold are exquisite things, and there are many gold and silver jewelry shops.

Qian Sanniang responded obediently, soft and submissive, her heart was floating these times, and there was only joy and happiness in her heart, so she went out shopping with Yang Xianggong, which was unimaginable before.

When they entered, the shopkeeper came out and received them attentively, Yang He saw that a hairpin and bracelet were good, picked it up, and asked, "Sanniang, do you like this bracelet and hairpin?" ”

Qian Sanniang's eyes were curved, like a crescent moon, and said, "I like it." ”

The shopkeeper looked at it and said busily: "Lord Yang came to the shop, and the silver bracelet and silver hairpin should be given to adults and Mrs. as small ones." ”

Speaking of this, he said sincerely: "The adults have done so much for the people of Pizhou, and the villains have nothing to repay, only this little bit of heart." ”

Yang He could hear his sincerity, and the guy next to him was also sincerely admired, and he was relieved, but said with a smile: "How can you not give money to buy things?" They need to lead by example. ”

As soon as he waved his hand, Chen Qiuao hurriedly stepped forward to pay, and the shopkeeper said in a loud voice: "Thank you!" ”

When they came out, Qian Sanniang was happy to hold a silver bracelet and a silver hairpin, her face was flushed, in fact, Yang He seized a lot of treasures from the bandits, and there was no shortage of good gold and silver jewelry, but when she came out to shop, she liked it.

In Qian Sanniang's heart, the gold and silver treasures seized before naturally could not be compared with the bracelets and hairpins that her husband bought for herself.

The two of them walked down the street, one was heroic, the other was cold and tall, and they were equipped with weapons, swords, heavy swords, and handcuffs, a different flavor from this time. They walked side by side, talking and laughing, which was really enviable.

In fact, when the two of them first came out to go shopping, the people of the state city made a fuss, and they also felt that the little lady was too tall, but now they have seen too much, but they feel that they are a good match.

Soon the two of them were not far from the "Tongyi Gate", and they were about to go to Liuhou Temple for a walk, when suddenly Yang He sighed: "Minister? ”

Recently, Minister Yang has been elusive and always asks for leave.

According to Yang Heding's military discipline, officers and soldiers stay in the barracks, and officers at the general level can take one day off every 10 days and ask the officers for leave to go out. Ordinary soldiers are allowed to take one day off a month and ask for permission from the officer-in-chief.

Officers and soldiers, regardless of their officers, must return to the team before dinner and are not allowed to spend the night outside.

However, every year they have holidays, soldiers and officers, ranging from thirty to forty days per Chinese New Year's Eve, but family members can take leave to visit at any time.

Recently, Minister Yang must ask for leave every day off, and Yang He heard Zhang Chugong, a Chinese officer, say that it seems that he was talking about a woman, as if she was the youngest daughter of Kong Chuanyou, the commander of Pizhou Wei, and the official name was "Kong Deyi" or something.

Yang He naturally cares about Minister Yang, although he is a scholar, in fact, when he treats him like a younger brother, he spares no effort to cultivate him.

At this time, he seems to be with a woman, so he naturally has to take a good look.

He looked at it, and saw that in front of a jewelry store, Minister Yang was talking to a young girl, and when he saw the woman, Yang He couldn't help but secretly praise: "What a heroic woman." ”

I saw that this girl was wearing a skirt and a double bun, although she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, she was twice as thick as Li Ruwan, and she was indeed the descendant of the commander, and she was heroic and extraordinary.

But although her posture is extraordinary, she is very docile, and at this time the voice came: "Brother Minister, you see that this hairpin is exquisite, is it good to buy it?" ”

Minister Yang's voice: "You know how to buy, it's very expensive, do you know?" ”

The girl: "Brother Minister, I have money." ”

Minister Yang: "If you have money, you can't spend it indiscriminately, you must be frugal." ”

The girl was docile and reluctantly handed the hairpin back.

Yang He and Qian Sanniang glanced at each other, both of them were very interested in the past.

Minister Yang was about to take the girl away, when he suddenly saw Yang He and the others, he made a big red face, and said expectantly: "Less...... Master...... Madame......"

Yang He looked at the girl and said with a smile: "Minister, who is this?" ”

Minister Yang said in a low voice: "Young Master, her name is Kong Deyi, and she is the daughter of the Kong Command Envoy. ”

He urged the girl: "Ah Yi, I've seen my young master soon." ”

The girl Kong Deyi was busy with all blessings, whispered a salute to Yang He, and then saluted Qian Sanniang, very well-behaved.

Yang He looked at these two people, Minister Yang had been looking for a stout woman, and finally found it, and this character was also very good, so he couldn't help but rejoice for him. He looked at the two of them with satisfaction: "Not bad, good, talented and beautiful, very well matched." ”

Kong Deyi lowered her head shyly, and secretly looked at Minister Yang, her eyes full of tenderness.

Minister Yang smiled with a big mouth, and also looked at Kong Deyi, anyone could see his happiness and satisfaction.

Yang He nodded even more, he instructed the shopkeeper to wrap the hairpin in Fang Cai, hand it to Minister Yang, ask him to give it to Kong Deyi, and teach him: "Minister, the money that should be spent will be spent, you know?" ”

Minister Yang responded again and again, Yang Daodao: "Okay, you guys go shopping." ”

He smiled at Qian Sanniang and said, "The scenery over there is good, let's go for a walk." ”

……

Soon after, Minister Yang and Kong Deyi's affairs were also decided, and the "personal welcome" time was also set for March next spring, but it was ten days late for Yang He.

For the marriage of the master and servant, the people of the state city blessed it, and some people gossiped, saying that one of them likes bamboo poles and the other likes buckets, and they are all weirdos.

But if the parties are willing, they can't care.
