Chapter 967: Marriage
"Worship heaven and earth!" With the shout of the master of ceremonies Zhang Shiyi, Qi Niang, who was dressed in auspicious clothes, turned around at the same time as Li Chengdao, and then bowed out. Li Xiu, who was standing behind them, was excited and tearful, although he had too much reluctance before, but being able to see his sister get married with his own eyes also made him feel like he had a huge wish, and he felt extremely relaxed.
"Second worship high hall!" Qi Niang and Li Chengdao also slowly turned around and saluted the two elders in the hall, because the parents of both sides were not there, so Li Yuan represented the man's parents, and the bearded guest accepted the couple's bow on behalf of the woman's parents.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shiyi was about to let the newcomers bow to each other, but at this moment, they suddenly saw Li Chengdao and Qi Niang looking at each other, and then the two turned around and bowed to Li Xiu next to them again.
This made Li Xiu also startled, after all, the newcomer's second worship should be the elder of the worship, and his brother should not be worshipped, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support the two of them, but at this time Li Yuan turned his head and said to him: "Virtuous son-in-law, you don't have to help them, whether it is Chengdao or Qi Niang, you have been taken care of since childhood, so you can afford this worship more than anyone else!" ”
"Yes, if it weren't for Mr., I would have died in Chang'an a long time ago, and Qi Niang was also raised by Mr. Li Chengdao also opened his mouth at this time, and after speaking, he made a big gift to Li Xiu with Qi Niang, although Qi Niang couldn't see her expression clearly with her hijab, but the ground under her feet had been wet with dripping tears.
Faced with this situation, Li Xiu could only accept the worship of Li Chengdao and Qi Niang, but then tears poured out, his only sister was finally going to be a wife, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to see each other again in the future, which made him feel sad, and his heart was empty as if he had lost something important.
When the three worships were over, Qi Niang was sent into the cave room, and Li Chengdao came to the front to toast Li Xiu and others, in fact, there were very few people who participated in this wedding, except for Li Yuan, Li Xiu and the elders of both sides, there was only Pei Lin left as a real guest, and the rest were Zhang Shiyi's subordinates on Liuqiu Island.
Although the wedding was a little simpler, the people present didn't care much, after all, this wedding couldn't be too big, and Li Xiu also knew that the reason why Li Yuan proposed to have a wedding here was actually to reassure himself and Qi Niang, after all, the wedding was held here, and Qi Niang officially became Li Chengdao's wife, and there would be no more changes in the future.
Li Xiu has always disliked drinking, but today he drank a lot with Li Yuan, the bearded guest and others, and finally vomited a mess, and only returned to the room to rest with the support of others.
Early the next morning, Qi Niang, who had been combed into a woman's headdress, got up, asked Li Yuan for tea and asked for red envelopes with her own hands, and also made a bride's meal, but although Qi Niang was smart, her cooking skills did not get Li Xiu's true inheritance, and the cooking could only be said to be barely palatable, of course, no one would care about these.
After the wedding, Li Chengdao and Li Yuan and the others planned to go back, after all, it was not convenient for them to stay in the Central Plains for a long time, even if it was not very safe here on the big island of Liuqiu, in addition, whether it was Li Chengdao or the bearded guest, they all had a lot of power in their hands, they were okay to leave for a short time, and they were worried about what would happen after a long time.
Li Xiu came out this time on official business, and it was also inconvenient to stay on the island for a long time, and even he had secretly left from Suzhou before, if he didn't show up for a long time, maybe it would attract more people's attention, so he also had to leave here, at least go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to show up, after all, the bank's business still has to be done.
However, speaking of banks, Li Chengdao and their visit this time brought Li Xiu a great news, that is, they found another gold and silver mine in the Americas, and the reserves are extremely rich, and they have already started mining before, and this time they came to the ship to transport a lot of mined gold and silver, which have been resold to the government of Quanzhou through Zhang Shiyi's hands, because the bank was short of silver and gold before, so Li Shimin also ordered the local government to buy these two precious metals.
In addition to mining gold and silver mines by themselves, Lee Chengdao and the bearded guest have now also begun to buy silver from the natives of the Americas, gold is used for the sacrifice of the natives, except for the temple, gold is not allowed to be used in other places, so it is basically impossible to buy gold, but there is no taboo on silver, and Lee Chengdao and the bearded guest have some advanced technology in their hands, which can produce the things that the natives need, such as cloth, fine porcelain, etc., so the acquisition is also very smooth.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that Li Chengdao and the bearded guests learned that Datang needed a large amount of gold and silver to mint coins, and they also promised to increase the supply of gold and silver next year, after all, this is also a good business for them, the gold and silver in the Americas are not valuable, but it is ten times or even a hundred times the profit when it is shipped to Datang, and they don't want to let go of such a good business.
On the third day after the wedding, Li Xiu also decided to leave, the ship Zhang Shiyi had prepared for him and would send him back to Suzhou again, and Qi Niang and Li Chengdao and others also came to see him off in person, Li Xiu first talked to Li Yuan, Pei Lin and the bearded guest, and told the three of them to take care of their health, and Pei Lin also hoped that Li Xiu could take more care of his children.
In fact, even if Pei Lin doesn't say it, Li Xiu will take care of the Pei family more, after all, Pei Lin has helped him many times, and the friendship between the two is also very deep, and he also admires Pei Lin for sacrificing his life to accompany Li Yuan to the Americas, after all, not everyone has such courage, and Pei Lin is already old, he and Li Yuan have little time, and they can't help Li Chengdao when they go to the Americas, and their only wish is to chat with Li Yuan to relieve their boredom, I have to say that Li Yuan can have such a friend, which is simply envious, jealous and hateful.
Farewell to the end, Li Xiu came to Qi Niang and Li Chengdao, the couple had been immersed in the joy of the newlywed, but at this time the parting was imminent, Qi Niang's little face was also crying, Li Chengdao was full of reluctance, Li Xiu is not only his relatives, but also his life mentor, he was able to achieve his current achievements after the great changes, everything is closely related to Li Xiu, if possible, he really hopes that Li Xiu can also go to the Americas, so that he can often guide himself.
Li Xiu looked at Qi Niang with teary eyes at this time, and then looked at Li Chengdao next to him, and sighed at the moment, and then saw him gently take Qi Niang's hand, and then put it in Li Chengdao's hand, and then solemnly said: "Chengdao, Qi Niang will be handed over to you!" ”
