Chapter 190: Establishing Relatives, Welcoming Relatives, and Standing Authority

Although Yu Lao Hanlin is in his fifties this year, his younger brother who is a servant in the ministry is also about to be fifty years old this year, but her niece is also twenty-eight years old, and the age of marriage and childbirth at that time is far from that of modern times, which is normal. When the girl reaches the age of sixteen, according to the rules, she should have already set her family, but there have been too many officials and elites in the entire Ming Dynasty over the years.

For the Yu family, a family whose history can be traced back to the Xuande period, the marriage of children is definitely not a true feeling, it is all decided for the interests of the family, so the Miss Yu family, who should have been married or a baby kiss and so on, has long been set for life, and she is still in the boudoir.

Of course, it is still quite awkward to say that the sixteen-year-old is still in the boudoir.

Although Emperor Jiajing is young, he still overturned the old ministers and magnates to the ground, and now the court is all the emperor's private affairs, and the pattern of the court is infinitely clear. At this time, Lu Binglai, a close confidant of the emperor, proposed marriage to the nearest upstart Liu Shunhua. Liu Shunhua has been a bachelor from a low-grade Hanlin waiter in just two years to a political envoy in Shandong today.

Looking at this age, there are infinite possibilities in the future, and he is still from a poor family, such a person needs the help of a wealthy family behind. So Liu Shunhua lost his wife in middle age and had a daughter who was about to become an adult, all kinds of things were not a problem, and he soon sent someone over to propose marriage.

Yu Lao Hanlin is also a figure who has cultivated himself for many years, and after calmly speaking, he quietly waited for Liu Shunhua's reaction, he didn't know that this matter was too sudden, and he thought that the two sides had already prepared. However, there was one thing he didn't expect, although Lu Bing was not confused about big things, but in this subtle homely etiquette, he was not so clear.

Liu Shunhua is also the governor of a province now, and being silent is also a necessary skill, but his face has become a little red, and he is indescribably awkward in his heart. I thought to myself, I was counting on holding on to my daughter and letting Jiang Feng's bastard boy find someone to come over and propose marriage, so that Fang Rui could marry in a beautiful way. It can be regarded as fighting for a place for his daughter. Moreover, there are some things that Liu Bu's political envoy is not good to say to others.

For example, the existence of the Su family sisters, the matter of Su Shilang being convicted and imprisoned in the household department, there are still many inexplicable rumors in the officialdom, no one would have thought that it would be in Jiang Feng's hands, and it seems that he wants to serve a husband with his daughter, what a bold boy.

However, in any case, Liu Shunhua didn't expect that the person who proposed to his daughter did not come, but someone who proposed to himself came to the door. This feeling of astonishment is really quite strange, I thought I was marrying a daughter, but who would have thought that my Hongluan Star would move.

Looking at the Liu Shunhua in front of him sitting there with a flat face and not reacting, although Yu Lao Hanlin had a smile on his face, he was also a little unhappy in his heart, thinking that you Liu Shunhua is also an official from the second grade, and he treats people and things, why do you not know what to do, you are really from a poor family.

When he was slandering, Liu Shunhua asked a sentence rather recklessly:

"Dare to ask Brother Yu, who is driving this matter."

When these words came out, the shrewd Yu Lao Hanlin was also stunned there, and he suddenly understood most of Liu Shunhua's reaction in his heart, and the political envoy of the relationship may not know about the so-called marriage proposal. But since it is a door-to-door visit, these are not big problems, Yu Lao Hanlin laughed a few times:

"It's the loyal and brave man Lord Lu who pulls the strings from it, and this thing is done, haha......"

Liu Shunhua's mind was racing, thinking that there were people around him who were closer to Lu Bing, the problem was that the Liu family was an official now, and he was the only one who was an official, and he sent regular letters to greet Lu Bing every month, who else in the capital did not need too complicated things, and soon thought of Jiang Feng.

"Good boy, it actually calculated on me" Liu Shunhua was naturally a little angry in his heart, and thought about it, if he married this family business, there would be a lot of benefits in the future, not to mention, his daughter Liu Fangrui couldn't stay at home all her life, her official was getting bigger and bigger, and it was not good if there was no one in charge of the inner hall in the house.

But this incident made Liu Shunhua's mind suddenly relaxed, Jiang Feng was not a brave and unscrupulous man, and it seemed that he could entrust his daughter to him.

After making up his mind, Liu Shunhua suddenly patted the coffee table on the side lightly, laughed loudly, and said slowly:

"With such a good intention, Liu is naturally willing to accept it, but Liu is forty-two years old this year, and he is a continuation, did he wronged Brother Yu's niece?"

Hearing what happened, Yu Lao Hanlin naturally didn't take Liu Shunhua's humble and polite words to heart, and shook his hand there again and again and smiled:

"It's okay, Brother Liu, you are in your prime, now the herdsmen are on the side, and they will definitely be the pillars of the court in the future, why pay attention to those small sections, for my brother to ask for a letter from you, it is rest assured, the next thing, Brother Liu has to do it as soon as possible!"

What I am talking about here is to invite the matchmaker to the door, there are some etiquette and procedural problems, Liu Shunhua responded with a smile there, and the two sides were happy, but they heard that behind the main hall, someone snorted hatefully. Yu Lao Hanlin was stunned, but Liu Shunhua could hear it, this was his daughter's voice, but Liu Shunhua, who was familiar with his daughter's character, naturally understood in his heart that Liu Fangrui was not necessarily angry about herself, I am afraid that she would do it herself, but she still locked up her daughter and did not let her get married. The old Hanlin over there asked cautiously:

"What is this?"

"It's the little girl, I'm smiling, I'm smiling."

Yu Lao Hanlin knew that it was time to say goodbye at this time, and was just about to get up, but there was a porter outside who was loudly roll calling:

"According to the inspection, Lord Ding will arrive~~~!"

Old Hanlin stood up with a smile and said:

"Since there is a visitor, I will leave first, these news are naturally passed back to Beijing, the scenery of Jinan Mansion is good, this time, it is to have a visit."

Liu Shunhua also stood up, smiled and gave him away, but he was thinking in his heart: If there is no prediction error, I am afraid that the envoy outside is a matchmaker for Jiang Feng......

A month later, Liu Shunhua, the political envoy of Shandong, married the youngest daughter of Yu Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, which caused quite a sensation in the officialdom of Shandong and Beijing. With this marriage, everyone can see that Liu Shunhua will have a greater future in his career in the future, so the wedding day can really be said to be grand in scale.

Relatively speaking, although the matter of marrying a daughter is also a big deal, under the deliberate low-key of Liu Shunhua and Jiang Feng, there is not much momentum, and naturally officials from top to bottom in Shandong still have to do it. Shangguan's marriage of wives and daughters was carried out almost at about the same time.

Although it is a bit ridiculous to say, anyone can see what these two marriages represent.

There is no big operation in Jinan, but it is different in Dengzhou, when the team to send relatives is fifty miles away from Dengzhou, the armor is bright, and the majestic Tieding plays the role of the honor guard, although the men of Weishan Island are now training with the recruits, but after all, they are born immediately, the Tieding are now one person training a hundred infantry, and the person who trains the horse team of Weishan Island is one person in charge of twenty people.

The people of the Weishan Island horse team are not bad at plagiarism and horse control skills, but they lack the formation and discipline and technology of regular combat, these are all trained by the iron dings, Jiang Feng is not afraid of forming a faction is relying on this, in the formal training, paid every month, and registered these forces in Jiang Feng's own family inventory are really their own people.

The words are a little far away, hundreds of cavalry are now also on the horse, neatly packed up, neatly following the team to welcome relatives, there is naturally some drummer or something, along the way lively and lively scenery, of course, the whole set of festive equipment has long been fully prepared by someone who understands.

But more than 100 iron soldiers and 500 cavalry, this momentum is too big, originally Zhao Xiucai wanted to persuade Jiang Feng to say that it was too ostentatious, but Jiang Feng was categorical this time, and his words were very hard:

"I can't propose marriage in a beautiful way, I have to do enough to marry her!"

The above should be low-key, but the Dengzhou prefect, the nearby six county orders, the Dengzhou military preparation road yamen, the Denglai water division yamen Dengzhou's local government can not be low-key, Jiang Feng's current identity is the commander of the Dengzhou Left Guard, and he has the position of Dengzhou Battalion Division.

Jiang Feng is now the highest-ranking military attache in the vicinity, and he is also the son-in-law of the political envoy of Shandong. With such an identity and such a level, it is not possible to do it without flattery. So now Jiang Feng is in front of the Jade Building, the largest restaurant in Dengzhou Mansion, and his smile is about to be sour.

Dengzhou Mansion is not big, it stands to reason that the commander of the guard should live in his own barracks, but now with the position of Dengzhou Metropolitan Division, it is natural that he can have a mansion in the city, but the grade is too high, there is no suitable mansion in the city, it can only be built separately, and it is too late to rush in time, so he has to charter this restaurant as a place to entertain distinguished guests from all parties.

Every Dengzhou official and local gentry who came to visit Jiang Feng had a flattering smile on their faces, thinking in their hearts that this reckless man could not afford to offend, and there were people above.

When he was greeting politely, a person dressed as a family man ran to Jiang Feng's side and whispered something, Jiang Feng nodded, and immediately said loudly to the officials and gentry from all walks of life sitting in the jade building:

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a rule for happy events in our hometown, that is, to go to the city to watch the bride enter the city, everyone together. Together. ”

No one has ever heard of such inexplicable rules, but these people present will definitely not object, why bother to offend people, as a result, a group of dignitaries and nobles from the state capital have gone to the city, and some people flatter a few words from time to time:

"The customs of my lord's hometown are really elegant."

The team to welcome the relatives is not far from the city gate, when they see this team, everyone on the wall is holding their breath, the sedan chair and the drummer are not unusual, but what shocked them is the escort team, six hundred horses! Neatly follow around the welcoming procession.

What's even more exaggerated is that among these six hundred horsemen, there are also one hundred ironclad heavy horses! The horse's steps were steady, not impatient to follow the greeting team, the iron armor flashed with cold light, and the knights on the horse were calm, concentrating on controlling the horses, and moving forward without arrogance or impatience. Seeing this kind of scene, these people on the city wall first held their breath, and then they didn't just gasp, six hundred horses, there is no one in Shandong who has such a strength.

At the time of the accident in the Hengwang Mansion in Qingzhou, the 4,000 cavalry used was a horse team put together by a dozen guards, although many guards and barracks reported to the top of the 500 horses, 1,000 horses, in fact, there were 1,200 horses that were amazing, and the money for horse fodder fell into their own pockets.

However, what is even more absurd is that in the military department, the household department, and other localities, the people responsible for paying salaries actually only pay 50 to 60 percent of the full military salaries, and deduct them layer by layer, so officers at all levels all deduct military salaries to support their own soldiers, and no one is willing to raise horses and train soldiers.

Looking at the team slowly entering the city gate below, the majestic momentum still shocked the officials at all levels at the head of the wall, these people looked at each other, and thought in their hearts, this commander must have been killed, and he made a capital to raise troops like this, wouldn't he lose his pants and lose his head stupidly?

These people naturally don't know that Jiang Feng is not relying on the money allocated by the imperial court to raise troops now, he has his own way of making money every day, although the officials at the head of the city are secretly laughing at Jiang Feng's stupidity in their hearts, but their hearts are shocked by the power shown by these hundreds of horses.

Regardless of whether they are smart or not, these officials also understand another thing, that is, on the ground in Dengzhou in the future, I am afraid that only Jiang Feng will be the only one who can speak, with a high position and a big fist, so he can't accept it.

Jiang Feng saw that the team below had completely entered the city, so he smiled and said to the people in the city:

"Everyone, my wife has already entered the city, we should also go back to the restaurant to drink, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!"

The officials and gentry on the wall all agreed violently, and walked towards the city one after another, but the actions at this time were a little different from just now, everyone's eyes and demeanor were a lot more awe of Jiang Feng, this kind of awe is not a false welcome, but a kind of fear in the bones of a person in the face of power and force.

Although Jiang Feng was still amiable on the surface, he was very happy in his heart, and sending these cavalry to escort the welcoming team into the city was indeed meant to save face for the girl. But he was unexpectedly praised by Liu Twelve for his clever move, which was really unintentionally inserted into the willows and willows, where is the wisdom of this matter, two words:

"Liwei!"
