Chapter 578: Xuanzang's News
Ma Ye's wedding is simple and grand, it is said that it is simple, that is because almost all the money for the wedding was exchanged for materials by Ma Ye and distributed to the victims, so everything is simple when welcoming relatives, but there are many teams to welcome relatives, after all, just the old brothers of the Women's Army are enough.

In fact, while welcoming relatives, the distribution points of materials around Chang'an are still continuing, and many of the victims who got the relief materials also came spontaneously, although they couldn't help much, but they all spontaneously stood on both sides of the road, and when Ma Ye passed by, these victims also saluted to express their gratitude and blessings.
Li Xiu, who was riding on a horse, looked at the victims on both sides of the street who thanked them, and he was also quite emotional, in fact, in addition to thanking Ma Ye, these victims should also be more grateful to Li Shimin, because it was precisely because of Li Shimin's tolerance that Li Xiu dared to let Ma Ye do this, after all, this kind of behavior like Ma Ye is actually a bit suspected of buying people's hearts, if someone like Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor, Ma Ye will definitely end up like Shen Wansan, you must know that Zhu Yuanzhang can't even tolerate the brothers who fought the country together.
However, Li Shimin is different from Zhu Yuanzhang, to put it a little deeper, Li Shimin is actually more confident than Zhu Yuanzhang, so he is also more tolerant, which also makes most of the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty have a better result, and Li Shimin is also more tolerant of some of the minister's actions, so Li Xiu dared to let Ma Ye do this, because he knew that Li Shimin would not care at all.
When they arrived at the mansion of the eldest princess of Tong'an, the bride Guanghua County Lord was also ready, Princess Pingyang and Yiniang and other women were guarding the door, as soon as Ma Ye entered the door, he was beaten with a stick, but Ma Ye couldn't dodge, so he could only rush over with his head in his hands, Li Xiu and the male guests could only try to help him cover up, and finally rushed into the mansion with great difficulty.
followed by reciting hypnotic poems and chanting for the bride, and finally the lord of Guanghua finally came out of the boudoir, and then was greeted in the carriage, and the eldest princess of Tong'an cried and sent her daughter out. When they returned to the mansion outside the city, after the good day arrived, Ma Ye and the county lord of Guanghua became husband and wife in the blessings of the guests.
Although almost all the money for the wedding was exchanged for materials and distributed to the victims, the wedding banquet still had to be prepared, but the wine and food at the wedding banquet were very simple, anyway, the people who came to the wedding banquet did not lack this meal, and everyone also knew that Ma Ye's wedding was very special, so no one said anything.
After the wedding, the bride was welcomed into the cave room, and then Ma Ye came to the front yard to entertain the guests, but was pulled by Xiang Shanzhi and others to pour wine, although Ma Ye can be called a massive, but also can not stand the wolf, and finally was drunk by a group of male guests, it is estimated that tonight is not to think about the main cave room with Guanghua County.
Ma Ye has no other relatives, so Li Xiu acted as Ma Ye's junior, and waited until Ma Ye was drunk and continued to greet guests, he did not drink The matter is well known, and his status is high, so no one dares to pour him wine, until the end of the wedding banquet, he sent these guests away for Ma Ye, and then commanded the subordinates to pack up their things, at this time Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang also came out to help, although Hate Er is young, but also follow Yi Niang to learn to deal with housework, but also has a look, from today on, this is her home.
Although Ma Ye's wedding was simple, it also caused quite a stir, mainly because the cost of the wedding was exchanged for materials to help the victims, which caused great appreciation among the readers, so for a while, many people praised Ma Ye's kindness, and even the county lord of Guanghua was praised.
It is worth mentioning that perhaps under the influence of Ma Ye, many families who are eager to get married have also been inspired, and they have also followed suit, replacing the cost of the wedding with materials and distributing them to the victims, so that they can get married on time, and secondly, they have also won some good names for themselves, which is also something that Li Xiu did not expect before.
On the third day after Ma Ye's marriage, he took the Guanghua county lord back to the door, and when he came back, he brought back the eldest princess of Tong'an, it is said that the old prince was not used to living alone in Chang'an's mansion, and the Guanghua county lord was not at ease with his mother, so he took it to live together, and as a result, Ma Ye's mansion was three generations in the same house for a time, but he was also happy.
However, Hate'er was a little distressed, because in the past, only Ma Ye and the county lord of Guanghua forced her to marry, but now as soon as the eldest princess of Tong'an came, there was another elder who nagged her to marry every day, and she had no choice but to go to Li Xiu's house every day, and even live with Qi Niang at night, so as not to be nagged by her family again.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, although there is the impact of natural disasters, but the whole Chang'an has become more prosperous, and even Hu merchants from all over the country have rushed to come, hoping to sell their goods at a good price with the help of the previous year, but on the afternoon of the 25th, suddenly a Hu merchant came to Li Xiu's house to ask for a meeting.
"The villain greets the prince!" As soon as Li Xiu came to the living room, a brown-haired and blue-eyed Hu Shang saluted him in a very fluent Chinese, and his pronunciation was also very standard.
"You're welcome, do you really have news of Xuanzang?" Li Xiu asked eagerly, an ordinary Hu Shang was not qualified to see him, but this person said that there was news of Xuanzang, which made him come in a hurry.
"Guogong, please look, this is a letter from Master Xuanzang to you!" I saw this Hu Shang take out a crumpled letter from his arms, and then presented it very respectfully.
Li Xiu took the letter but found that the letter was very thick, and hurriedly opened it, only to find that in addition to a piece of stationery, there was actually a letter in the letter, and when he saw the content of the letter, he found that it was indeed Xuanzang's handwriting.
This letter was written by Xuanzang after leaving Yumen Pass, when he had arrived at Yiwu, that is, Hami in later generations, Xuanzang introduced some of the situations after he left Yumen Pass, crossed Wufeng, and crossed the quicksand, but it was written very vaguely, and he did not go into too much detail about the hardships, but Li Xiu also knew that Xuanzang's journey after secretly running out of Yumen Pass must be very difficult, and it can even be said that it is dangerous, and it is not easy for him to survive.
In the second half of the letter, Xuanzang talked about some of his realizations on the road, as well as his determination to go west, the letter was originally written here, but Xuanzang suddenly added a sentence at the end: Brother Li, please transfer the letter to the Qianniang of the southern palace of Chang'an City, Xuanzang kowtow!
Seeing Xuanzang's last sentence, Li Xiu was stunned at first, and then showed a gloomy expression, it seems that Xuanzang finally couldn't help but write a letter to that Qianniang, with his wisdom, he must also know that he can find out Qianniang's identity, but he doesn't know that Qianniang has died of illness and can no longer see his letter.
"By the way, what's your name?" At that moment, Li Xiuqiang endured the sadness in his heart, looked up at this Hu Shang who helped Xuanzang bring the letter and asked.
"Qiyu Guogong, the villain's name is Ah Wuer, and he is a merchant from the Western Regions!" This Hu Shang immediately replied, he was very discerning, and he had not dared to disturb Li Xiu since just now, and only then did he dare to raise his head and reply.
"Thank you for helping Xuanzang bring back this letter, but I want to ask, where is Xuanzang now, and how did you get acquainted?" Li Xiu asked again at the moment, he hoped to hear more about Xuanzang from this Ah Wuer's mouth.
"Qiyu Guogong, the villain met Master Xuanzang when he passed through Yiwu, he was recuperating from his injuries at that time, and his legs and feet were inconvenient, so the villain ......"
"Wait, you said Xuanzang was injured?" Li Xiu suddenly interrupted Ah Wu'er's words and asked, with an anxious look on his face.
"Yes, Master Xuanzang was bitten by a poisonous snake when he was crossing the desert, fortunately he was found in time, and he picked up a life, but this also made his body very weak, when I saw him, he had some difficulty walking, and when I left, he was still recuperating in Yiwu, but now it is estimated that the injury has healed, and he may have left Yiwu." Aur replied again.
"I see!" Li Xiu also nodded when he heard this, but the expression on his face became heavier and heavier, just after leaving the Yumen Pass, Xuanzang encountered a danger to his life, and he didn't know how many dangers he would encounter on the road in the future, I am afraid that it will definitely not be less difficult than the eighty-one in the Journey to the West in later generations.
"In addition to this letter, did Xuanzang Ke say anything?" After pondering, Li Xiu looked at Ah Wuer again and asked.
"This ......" Ah Wuer also showed a reminiscent expression when he heard this, and then shook his head and said, "It's not true, Master Xuanzang heard that our caravan was coming to Chang'an in Yiwuda, so he found me and asked me to help bring the letter, saying that the horse would definitely not let me suffer, so the villain came!" ”
When Ah Wuer said the end, he also showed a somewhat flattering smile on his face, he has been going back and forth between the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty for many years, and he has also sold tea, so he has naturally heard of Li Xiu's name, so after learning that Xuanzang knew Li Xiu, he naturally spared no effort to help him bring the letter, because he knew that this letter could bring him a huge return.
"You're doing a great job, say, what do you want?" Li Xiu heard that Ah Wuer wanted to return so bluntly, and immediately put down the letter and asked with a smile.
"Qi Yu Pony, the villain wants tea, of course it won't be in vain, the villain will buy it from the market, just hope to be able to buy tea first!" Ah Wuer spoke again, he is a greedy businessman, he wants to return everything he does, of course, he also knows that greed also has limits, especially since the person in front of him is one of the most powerful nobles in the Tang Dynasty, so he dare not offend.
Hearing Ah Wuer's request, Li Xiu also wrote him a note very simply, asking him to take the note to exchange for tea, which also made Ah Wu extremely happy, and then left gratefully.
After Ah Wuer left, Li Xiu looked at the unopened letter on the table and was a little distracted, Qianniang had passed away, but what should be done with this letter?
