Chapter 397: Mass Wedding

Zhao Zizhong asked, "Who is leading the team?" ”

"I'm going to transfer Pang Xu back from Jinling and let him lead the team. In addition, I also sent Wang Minglong and Wang Helong brothers to follow. ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically: "I think it's okay, just let Pang Xu go." ”

Wei Hongye interjected: "After the New Year, I will go to Liuqiu and strive to build an iron-making workshop as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Zizhong shook his head: "Old Wei, you will go to beg soon after you get married, I am afraid that the old lady and Ying'er will have opinions about us." ”

Cui Daoshu hurriedly said: "No, no." Mother understands the righteousness, and her old man will not stop her second brother from begging. ”

"What about Ah Mei?"

Cui Daoshu said helplessly: "Ah Mei is very playful, I guess she will definitely let the second brother take her to beg." She had already said that Qishan Island was too small, she had had enough fun, and she must go around this time. ”

Everyone laughed, and An Dalang said: "Brother, I will also follow, so as to protect the second brother and sister." ”

Wei Hongye waved his hand: "This can't be helped, Xia Rongniang is about to give birth, you must accompany her!" ”

An Dalang opened his mouth: "It's okay, Rong Niang estimates that she will be born in ten days, and after the child is born, I have nothing to worry about." The stepmother and sister-in-law will take care of their mother and son. I can go and beg in peace. ”

The brothers were very moved, An Dalang was afraid of begging to be lonely overseas, in case something happened, Wei Hongye and Cui Ying'er had zero combat effectiveness, and they had nowhere to run. So he must follow, after all, Cui Ying'er is the heart of Mrs. Cui, and Wei Hongye is his sworn brother.

Zhao Zi thought about it again and said, "Da Lang, this time you go to Liuqiu, you will bring four warships and three hundred escorts. I guess I'll be able to keep you safe. ”

An Dalang nodded: "Brother, I will be careful." will definitely ensure the safety of the second brother and sister. ”

Cui Daoshu also said: "After the New Year, I will go to Jinling with Brother Cao and Brother Wang to try to get more orders in Nantang." ”

Boris asked, "Old Seven, how are things going in Mingzhou?" How has our sea salt responded? ”

Cui Daoshu smiled: "That's pretty good." We started to transport a little bit first, after Qian Hongyi's Thorn History Mansion ate it up and down. I immediately sent someone to urge the goods. A few days ago, I transported a boatload over, and within two days, it was robbed by the people of Mingzhou. No, Qian Hongyi sent someone to urge the goods again. ”

Zhao Zizhong slapped his thigh: "Great! Dalang, after you bring the new homeless people to Liuqiu, let them start drying salt immediately. I estimate that the demand for sea salt will definitely skyrocket next year. ”

An Dalang agreed, and the brothers discussed some details of the relocation of the workshop, and then the meeting was dismissed.

The sixteenth day of the first month of the Great Song Dynasty

The island is a scene of joy.

Today, an unprecedented group wedding will be held, and it is said that more than 500 couples will marry collectively!

Today, all the units on Qishan Island are on holiday, so thousands of people have gathered outside the camp, and a large area of black pressure fills the entire valley.

Everyone was waiting for more than 500 couples to appear at the same time.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, the winter sun has already risen, and at this time, firecrackers and gongs and drums are ringing in the camp. The gates of the camp opened, and a group of people slowly walked out.

Walking in the front was Zhao Zizhong, who was dressed in a red robe, and he pulled Jiang Wuniang, who looked shy. Behind him was Wei Hongye, whose face was covered with thick fat powder, and his makeup was the same as that of the clown on the stage of Peking Opera in later generations, which made everyone stunned, and then everyone burst out laughing.

Wei Hongye complained angrily to Cui Ying'er: "I said I don't paint, those three aunts and six wives of your Cui family have to paint according to me." Well, now I'm the laughing stock of the whole island! ”

Cui Ying'er behind her covered her mouth and laughed non-stop, without the slightest consciousness of being a bride.

Behind them, there was Na Zhe who shook his head, he was holding a woman in one hand, Fang Juniang on the left, and Qin Wanlan on the right.

When everyone saw Qin Wanlan's peerless appearance, they all exclaimed.

Na Zhe let go of Qin Qianlan's hand and waved to everyone proudly, but Qin Qianlan lowered her head, not daring to look at everyone.

Fang Juniang was jealous and angry. She reached out and pinched Na Zhe's back fiercely.

Na Zhe immediately turned into a bitter gourd face, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Du Dalei in the back saw this scene and laughed: "Little Master, you are too cowardly, right?" Do you want Lao Tzu to save you? ”

Fu Hongyu immediately grabbed Du Dalei's ears: "You shut up for me today, you are not allowed to speak for a day." Anyway, your dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth. ”

Du Dalei immediately deflated: "Lady, let it go!" I don't dare anymore, my ears are going to fall out! ”

Seeing this scene, Zhang Renxun shook his head and said to Shu Ya next to him: "These brothers are all deviant people, and what they have done is really surprising!" ”

Shu Ya smiled: "There is nothing strange about this, they are all merchants from overseas, and they have not received an orthodox Confucian education. So it's a little weird. ”

After Du Dalei came out, behind him were Fan Jinchun and Zheng Paner, and then Hu Shuiyang and Li Chuntao.

Today, Lao Fan and Lao Hu are full of joy and keep greeting everyone.

Then there is Zhang Hong, who has a bitter face, and next to him is a woman with a big waist and a round waist. Zhao Zizhong finally achieved Zhang Hong's wish and found him a woman with a good ass to raise. But this woman is a little ugly.

Several of the animals of the escort began to heckle in the crowd:

"Captain Zhang, your mother-in-law is so ugly!"

"But the ass is as big as a millstone!"

"*It's not small, it must be nice to play!"

The crowd of onlookers laughed, which made Zhang Hong very depressed.

Wang Dafu behind him patted Zhang Hong's shoulder sympathetically: "Captain, you just want to drive a little." Didn't Instructor An say that there are more wolves and less meat, and it's good to have a mother-in-law. Look back, my mother-in-law is uglier than yours. ”

Zhang Hong was so angry that he kicked this second goods: "Who can compare with you?" You dare to marry an old sow. ”

Wang Dafu smiled: "The lights are blown out at night, what kind of woman is different?" If you have a *, you can have a butt. Captain, don't be too picky, just accept your fate. ”

At this time, more than 500 couples came out one after another, crowding the front of the camp. Zhao Zizhong walked onto a high platform and gave an enthusiastic speech to everyone, making everyone drowsy.

Finally finished speaking, Zhao Zizhong walked down and bowed to everyone with more than 500 pairs of newcomers.

Everyone returned the salute one after another, and then Zhao Zizhong announced the end of the wedding, and asked everyone to return to their respective residences and prepare to start the banquet.

Hula-la, the crowd dispersed like a tide, and soon the valley was empty.

The brothers are dumbfounded, these bastards are too faceless! On Lao Tzu's big day, for some food, he didn't even say a word of congratulations, and he ran away!

Zhang Renxun, Shu Ya, Gao Yanei, Cao Yongxian, and a group of scholars from the academy all gathered around and congratulated the brothers.

The brothers finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the scholars are just different from these bastards, and they still know how to be polite.

Zhang Renxun talked and laughed with his brothers for a while, then took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhao Zizhong.

"Mr. Zhao, this is a little gift from our Pucheng Zhang family, please smile with a few gentlemen."

Zhao Zizhong took it, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but gasp.

"That's too much, isn't it? We can't take it. ”

Zhang Renxun waved his hand: "Mr. Zhao, don't shirk." If we don't give these gifts, we will feel uneasy. ”

Cui Daoshu leaned over and looked at it, and the paper read:

Fifty ingots of gold

One hundred ingots of silver

100 pieces of silk

A box of jewelry

Ten calligraphy and paintings

~~~~~~~~~

A long list was densely written on the list, and the well-informed Cui Daoshu couldn't help but smack his tongue.

"Mr. Zhang, this gift is a little too valuable, we have no merit, please take it back."

Zhang Renxun said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, there is no precedent for our Pucheng Zhang clan to take back the gifts. Your brothers should take it. If you don't want it, donate it to the academy and college. Let's take it as a little bit of our Pucheng Zhang's heart for those orphans and poor scholars. ”

The brothers discussed it in a whisper, and decided that everyone would not want these gifts, and half would be donated to the academy and half to the academy.

The brothers took the bride to thank Zhang Renxun, and then everyone entered the gate of the camp, ready to go to the canteen to attend the wedding banquet.

This time, Mrs. Cui asked Cui Zhaorong to prepare several boatloads of ingredients and prepare meals for everyone on the island.

The Cui family's liquor workshop also took out hundreds of jars of spirits, so that everyone could share a little bit.

After coming to the cafeteria, more than 500 couples sat at 100 tables, filling the canteen inside and outside.

Zhao Zizhong took his brothers and began to toast from table to table, while Jiang Wuniang took the sisters to the small building of the old lady Cui, ready to go to greet the old lady.

When Du Dalei saw Fu Hongyu leaving, he immediately began to fight with some of the bastards of the escort team.

Tai Qin, Zhang Renxun, Shu Ya, Gao Yanei, Cao Deshun, Wang Mingjun, and Liang Daguan sat together, eating the special seafood feast of Qishan Island and chatting about the sky.

Cao Deshun asked, "Zhang Yushi, when are you going back?" ”

Zhang Renxun sighed: "Hey, I won't tell you, I really don't want to go back to Jinling." When I came, I thought that this must be a wild place overseas. Who would have thought that this would be a paradise! Moreover, the schools and academies here are teaching a lot of novel knowledge, and after listening to it a few times, the old man is really shocked!

I'd love to stay here for a while and learn about astronomy, geography, and mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and political economy. I never understood what this political economy meant. ”
