Chapter 83: The Wedding (2)
Zhao Kang thought about it, in case his future wife's team was intercepted by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong halfway, and he gave birth to a baby in two or three years and then sent it back to himself, then this green hat would be worn big. It's not okay to think of yourself as Ghis Khan. However, after thinking about it, Li Zicheng's siege of Kaifeng was repulsed at the beginning of the year, and the next attack will have to go this winter, and it should be relatively safe to come from Suzhou by water.
However, this kind of thing still has to be done, Zhao Kang immediately called Zhao Fugui and Zhou Yuji again, and Turhut doesn't have to fight for the time being, how can those barbarians have the safety of their fiancΓ©e?
To welcome relatives, of course, you have to be festive, and if you are festive, you must wear red. Zhao Kang demanded that the military coats, cotton clothes, cotton pants and even underwear equipped by Zhou Yuji's troops be dyed red, and the army of 11,200 people all went south along the Yellow River to Longmen to meet his fiancΓ©e.
After more than 10,000 people were assembled, they were all red-eyed bright red, and even the loaders and agricultural vehicles equipped by Zhou Yuji's department were painted red with paint. Zhao Kang felt that this red was much better than the earthy yellow military uniforms of ordinary Eighth Route Army soldiers, and immediately ordered that all the flag weaving and military uniforms of Zhou Yuji's department would use red as the main color in the future. The soldiers of Zhou Yuji's department were named "Red Army" by Zhao Kang.
On March 15, the 14th year of Chongzhen, Zhao Kang, escorted by more than 10,000 Red Army soldiers under the command of Zhou Yuji, went south to Longmen to greet his fiancΓ©e and his party.
After coming to Hancheng, Zhao Kang learned that in order to protect Zhao Kang's fiancΓ©e Zhang Youxiang and his party from arriving at Longmen safely, the new governor of Henan, Gao Mingheng, personally sent 300 soldiers to escort them along the way. Zhao Kang was very moved, knowing that Henan was very short of grain, and made a special trip to Zhao Fugui to send 10,000 loads of grain to Gao Mingheng, who was in Kaifeng.
Zhao Kang is still very much looking forward to what his wife looks like in this era. Although I have long heard that my wife and three little wives are well-known talented women in Jiangnan, Zhao Kang, as the president of the Appearance and Body Association, has no requirements for this aspect at all. Why does a wife marry such a talented person, isn't it just beautiful? If you really want Zhao Kang, an imposter jinshi, to recite poems with them like in "Dream of Red Mansions", it will really cost Zhao Kang's life.
Just when Zhao Kang was lying on the bed tossing and turning, thinking that his wife couldn't sleep, Zhang Youxiang's sisters were also tossing and turning on a big boat on the Yellow River and couldn't sleep.
The youngest Zhang Youcheng was the most excited: "Second sister, second sister, I heard that our husband is a third-class jinshi, and he must be talented and suave." I can't sleep just thinking about it. β
Zhang Youxiang scolded with a smile: "You little, how old are you, think about this." β
Zhang Youcheng was thin-skinned, and was ridiculed by his sister like this, so he hurriedly blushed and put his head into the quilt.
Zhang Youwei said: "I just heard that northern Shaanxi is the poorest and most miserable place in our Ming Dynasty, I am very worried about whether it will be like this Henan, like hell on earth, these days in the Yellow River I have seen dozens of floating corpses, so scared that I can't even eat." If northern Shaanxi is really more chaotic than Henan, how can the four of us sisters live? β
Zhang Youwei's words made several people fall silent. If you really want to live in a terrifying and chaotic place like Henan now, then you have nightmares every day, and people are scared to death?
Zhang Youxian, who had the least words on the side, said: "Probably not, I heard that the current northern Shaanxi is under the governance of Fujun." Everyone has something to eat, and there is peace everywhere. β
Zhang Youxiang frowned and said, "I hope so...... Not far in front is Tongguan, and after Tongguan, it is not far from northern Shaanxi. I never thought that we would marry so far, and I don't know when I will be able to return to my hometown in Songjiang in the future. β
Zhang Youxiang's words made several sisters sad, and no one was speechless for a while.

Wang Zhengjun, the magistrate of Hancheng, made a special trip for Zhao Kang to build a camp in Longmen for Zhao Kang to live temporarily, and when visiting Zhao Kang, he euphemistically expressed the hope that Zhao Kang could help Hancheng solve the problem of refugees and plagues. Zhao Kang promised the other party that when his marriage was over, he would send someone to Wang Zhengjun to bring the food and medicine urgently needed in Hancheng, and set up a refugee recruitment point in Hancheng to recruit refugees who entered Hancheng to work and farm in northern Shaanxi or Mongolia.
After waiting for nearly half a month in the camp in Longmen, because he didn't bring Chunmei, Dongmei and Makata, and there was no electricity, Zhao Kang's only entertainment every night was to lie in the quilt and fantasize about his future wife.
The hard work paid off, and when Zhao Kang felt that he was about to become numb, he finally looked forward to the arrival of everyone. Zhao Kang, who was full of expectations, wore his newly made crimson second-grade flower rhino official uniform, wore a black gauze hat, and walked on a black and white background, and personally led everyone to the Longmen Town Wharf to greet his bride, "parents" and father-in-law.
However, Zhao Kang was destined to be disappointed, it was not the bride who came down first, it turned out to be a lewd-looking, evil thin black old man, surrounded by a group of warblers and Yanyan, Zhao Kang carefully observed the group of women, and scolded in his heart: numb! Who is this old pervert? It was almost fifteen to fifty-five years old!
Zhao Kang quietly asked Zhao Fugui, who was accompanying him: "Who is that old man?" β
Zhao Fugui hurriedly reminded: "Young master, last time you fell in your brain and forgot a lot of things, he is our master, that is, your father Zhao Million." The woman who is about fifty years old is your second mother, the one with a little pockmarked face, and the one who is about forty-seven or eight is your third mother...... The two twin sisters, the two with big eyes and melon seeds, one is your eleventh mother, the other is your twelve mother, which one is eleven and which is twelve, because they look too similar, I can't tell the difference, you look only fifteen or sixteen years old, the one with very white skin and beautiful skin, is your thirteenth mother. β
After listening to Zhao Fugui's words, Zhao Kang spit out almost a mouthful of old blood. My cheap dad looks like he's fifty or sixty, and he's not afraid of a sudden death on a woman's belly with a cerebral hemorrhage, heart attack or something one day? The most speechless thing is that he has only had one son for so many years, you must know that there is no contraception in these years, whether his predecessor is his own or not, Zhao Kang retains serious skepticism.
