Chapter 41: Happy Events
Since Xu Chu came to Yanling County, it is obvious that the weather in Yanling County has begun to work in a good direction.
Relying on the great help of Zhang Feng, Pang Zhan, Xu Shu and Guo Jia and other talents, the officials were at ease with their duties, and the people were at ease, and Xu Chu suddenly became idle. In addition to practicing martial arts with Dian Wei every day, inspecting the barracks, and listening to reports, there is nothing special to do.
Xu Chu found that he really couldn't beat Dian Wei. Dian Wei is proficient in all kinds of weapons, especially good at using double halberds, Xu Chu fights with him, except for the strength does not suffer much, the rest of the place has the upper hand.
The days of getting along with Dian Wei and the marriage with Zhang's family are also slowly being handled. Weddings in the Han Dynasty were based on the Zhou system, which was much simpler than in the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties, but it still had to go through the process step by step.
After obtaining the woman's consent, Xu Chu prepared to give the woman's family a letter of appointment on this day, and instructed Chen Yi to prepare a bride price, and then send a gift book (gift list) after Najib.
Chen Yi took the order and left, and soon turned back, and reported to Xu Chu that there were more than a dozen wealthy families from other places outside the East City, asking to see Xu Chu.
"Really? That's great! Xu Chu called Shang Dian Wei and rushed to the east of the city with more than a dozen entourage, only to see that there were crowds of people and countless heavy vehicles, which injected a fresh blood into Yanling County.
As soon as Xu Chu came, someone immediately came to contact, and after questioning, these people came from Peiguo and the southern part of Runan. At that time, people were very fond of their hometown, and they were easily reluctant to leave their hometown, and if it wasn't for their hometown, they would definitely not want to leave. At the same time as He Yi was in turmoil, not only Huang Shao in the south of Yingchuan responded, but also in Runan and other places such as He Man, Gong Du, and Liu Pi also rose up at the same time. Except for Xu Chu's side to control the thieves, other places are unfavorable for conquest and suppression, and after temporarily driving away the yellow scarves, the people are still worried day and night.
"You trust Xu, and Xu is grateful." Xu Chu shushed the cold one by one and asked for warmth, which made these people from afar feel cordial. Among them, a wealthy man surnamed Gan, who is in his fifties and in his fifties, wept and said sadly: "Four years ago, when Peiguo was in turmoil, I left my hometown and went to Chenliu to seek refuge with distant relatives. A year later, when he heard that the unrest had subsided, he returned with his family. Who wants to live in peace not long after his son, the thieves are in turmoil again, trembling, worried, just hoping to live a stable life in Yanling County, and there will be no regrets in this life. ”
Xu Chu sighed, and after a few words of relief, he asked Xu Shu to call, there are no less than thousands of these people, and it is better to let Xu Shu arrange it.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Shu has the entire Yanling County in his stomach at this time, and there is almost nothing he doesn't know about the population registration and acres of wasteland.
As soon as Xu Shu arrived, he immediately suggested that Xu Chu allocate the area north of the city to these people to live in. It used to be the hardest-hit area of the Yellow Turban, and it was rarely inhabited, but now He Yi has been removed, which just comes in handy. Distribute land to each family according to their population, and after they are registered, it is a source of taxation.
One of the largest families is the Gan family, with a total of more than 200 family members, Xu Shu suddenly remembered something and asked the head of the Gan family, "Can you recognize Gansu?" ”
Gan Weng was pleasantly surprised: "I recognize, I recognize, it is my lost daughter back then!" ”
……
……
"Yuanzhi, that Gansu has always lived in your house, right?" After returning to the county office, Xu Chu asked Xu Shu. At first, Gansu lived in Xu Chu's mansion, and later Zhang's family intended to marry a daughter, so Gansu lived in Xu Shu's mansion. In fact, whether it is Xu Chu or Xu Shu, they basically don't go to live in their own house, and Gansu also lives alone.
Xu Shu admires this woman, and now the family has also come to Yanling, and she happened to accept it. However, in Xu Shu's eyes, this is a good opportunity for Xu Chu to strengthen himself.
"Lord, do you remember Wu Li?"
Xu Chu thought for a while, and finally remembered that there was still a Wu Li in the county government prison, so he asked Xu Shu: "What does Yuan Zhi think?" ”
Xu Shu said: "I arrested Wu Li before to let others know that the majesty of the lord cannot be easily offended; Now it is time to draw up his crimes, which will not only deter one or two, but also let outsiders understand that the lord enforces the law fairly. ”
Wu Li was arrested by Chen Yi for the alleged violation of the county's ban on riding at night, but his real crime was to kill Gansu's younger brother.
"Kill him? It's not appropriate. Xu Chu said, he was about to get married, and it seemed a little unlucky to see blood at this time.
"Confiscate Wu Li's property, dismiss his family, and punish him to go to the mine to mine, and that's it." Xu Shu suggested.
Xu Chu felt that it was feasible, so he made a judgment according to this.
In the recent after-dinner conversation between the people in Yanling County, in addition to the marriage between the county monarch and the daughter of the Zhang family, mining, and outsiders taking refuge in the local area, there is another decline of the Wu family.
Who made him go against the prefectural order? If it weren't for the new county magistrate Xu Chu, would everyone be able to live a good life now? Well deserved, retribution.
The people who have been oppressed by the big households applauded, and the big ones can't help but feel sad about the death of rabbits and foxes. Xu Chu couldn't care about this, because Mrs. Zhang had already set the date for welcoming her relatives, just three days later.
Three days arrived in the blink of an eye, Xu Chu changed into a dark color dress, and rushed to Zhang's house in a nervous mood. After arriving at Zhang's house, he read aloud the book of greeting relatives, and Xu Chu entered Zhang's mansion and greeted his relatives in the hall.
After meeting the elders of the Zhang family, Zhang Ying walked out with the support of the maid, with gorgeous makeup, beautiful eyes and tassels, graceful and graceful, elegant and solemn. Zhang Ying said goodbye to her family, tears flashed, she walked to Xu Chu's side, and said softly: "Husband, why are you stunned?" ”
Xu Chu blushed, he was stunned, and after being reminded, he gently pulled Zhang Ying into the carriage, and when he left, he threw himself to the ground towards Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Fengyi.
When I arrived at Xu Chu's mansion, the time was just dusk, and the woman was polite. The whole process was surprisingly quiet, without hustle and bustle, not to mention the vulgar games that tease newcomers. From the beginning to the end, Xu Chu felt the beauty of tranquility and serenity, rather than a chaotic farce.
Judging from marriage alone, the people in this land seem to be living more and more back. But Xu Chu didn't know that the reason why the wedding was so simple was because the woman sympathized with him. Because in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the flashy wind prevailed, and famous people like to compare each other at the banquet at the bride price, like Xu Chu today in full accordance with the ancient rites, it is rare.
Zhang Ying added a bit of charm under the packaging of dark color long skirts, lacquer painted clogs, and five-color ribbons. Her words and deeds should have been rehearsed in advance, washing her hands and washing her face, eating at the same table, drinking and drinking together, all of which were dignified and generous, only when she was married, her hands trembled a little, which reminded people that she was still a fifteen-year-old girl.
Xu Chu has no relatives, and only holds a banquet in the mansion, which is enough for the guests who come to congratulate the gift. After the banquet, the candles in the cave room were flowered, and the two newlyweds were a little at a loss, staring at each other blankly.
In the end, Xu Chu was thick-skinned, carefully took Zhang Ying into his arms, and started with the warm fragrant nephrite, thinking that this was the closest person to him in this life, Xu Chu called emotionally: "Ah Ying." ”
"Lang Jun ......"
Lightly untie Luo's shirt, skin to skin, winding path leads to a secluded place, clouds and rain surge, do not see Mount Tai to see Wushan......
