Leaving Mao Wenlong's big tent, Li Yuanqing's mood relaxed a lot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although no substantive compromise was reached with Mao Wenlong, at least, the two reached a certain consensus on a large level.

Mao Wenlong basically recognized Li Yuanqing's interests in southern Liaoning at this time, and Li Yuanqing also made a statement that in this thousands of miles of Liaohai, the overall situation is still dominated by the Dongjiang River.

As a result, the split between the two parts of the Dongjiang River and southern Liaoning was controlled within a small scope and did not affect the overall situation.

The interests of Mao Wenlong and the Dongjiang headquarters in southern Liaoning were guaranteed, and Li Yuanqing also had the dominant power he most wanted to have.

When I returned to the official hall, it was almost 2 o'clock, but the official hall was still brightly lit, and the maids and servants came and went, busy cleaning up everything in the official hall.

The entire official hall was decorated in red tones everywhere at this time, red silk, red lanterns, red flowers, maids, and servants also changed into red clothes, and everywhere looked jubilant.

According to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, getting married is actually a very troublesome matter.

The ordinary process is generally in accordance with the weekly ceremony, the lottery, the name, the naji, the sign, and the deadline.

And Li Yuanqing and Zhang Yunniang are both from Shenyang, and they prefer the customs of Liaodi.

From the beginning of the meeting, the ceremony, the financial feast, the announcement, the head, etc., to the wedding day, the ceremony, including the return to the door three days later.

It's just that Li Yuanqing and Zhang Yunniang are now orphans, and Zhang Yunniang's belly is big and she is about to give birth......

Some cumbersome processes have been simplified.

At this time, Zhang Yunniang had moved to Shang Lao Liu's house to live temporarily, and the process on the woman's mother's side was simplified.

But here in the official hall, it is the most important of the most, and many VIPs will come to watch the ceremony, so naturally they can't afford to be lazy.

However, these cumbersome affairs are busy with Shang Lao Liu, Steward Ma, Liu Chunhua, Yang Jiao ~ Niang and his party, and Li Yuanqing does not need to worry about it personally.

All he needs to do is go through the process like a puppet.

Although it was late at night at this time, Li Yuanqing was not without much sleep, and after resting for a while in the main hall of the official hall, he came to the garden where the middle courtyard and the backyard meet.

Li Yuanqing's official hall covers an area that is not large, only about ten acres, but a large area has been set aside around it, firstly, for the future expansion, leaving room for expansion, and secondly, for the sake of reward, these lands will be rewarded to Li Yuanqing's cronies and meritorious generals, so that they can build their own houses.

After all, being able to live next to the main general is also a way to reflect the glory of the generals.

After two years of development, Changsheng Island has long been the same as in the past, and Li Yuanqing's official hall is also gradually expanding, with blue bricks and blue tiles, and gradually has the prosperity of wealthy and powerful families.

In the garden, the small trees and flower beds planted at the beginning of last year have grown up by this time.

Although the small trees are not thick, they are carefully cared for and pruned by servants every day, they are straight, lush, and all kinds of flower beds grow better, and it is the height of summer at this time, it is a good season for all kinds of seedlings to bloom, walking in their back garden, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and Li Yuanqing's mood is also extremely happy.

It's a pity that Qu Minqiu, Caizi, and Wan'er all went to sleep, otherwise, having a beautiful woman to accompany them would be another mood.

After shopping for a while, the figures of the maids and mothers-in-law were also a lot less, it was already late at night, and most of them went back to the room to rest.

Li Yuanqing was about to go back to Qu Minqiu's room to rest, when he suddenly found that there was a delicate figure in front of him, hurrying to this side.

When she saw Li Yuanqing, she was also taken aback, and hurriedly saluted respectfully, "The maid sees the master." ”

Li Yuanqing's alcohol had dissipated a lot at this time, and when he saw her pretty face, he couldn't help but smile, "It's so late, what are you wandering around here?" ”

This is a little girl who is about sixteen or seventeen years old, very pretty, especially with a pair of big eyes, very smart, like the actress who was famous for playing the role of 'little three' in later generations, but successfully married into a wealthy family.

She came back from Beijing with Li Yuanqing a few days ago, and she was Yang Jiao ~ Niang's person, Li Yuanqing was very impressed with her at the beginning, but she didn't expect to meet ......

At this time, when she heard Li Yuanqing's words, the little girl was taken aback, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Master, the second lady asked the maid to send this box of incense powder to Steward Liu in the front yard at night. ”

Steward Liu is Liu Chunhua.

She is mainly responsible for the decoration and dressing up work in the official hall.

There is another day, which is Li Yuanqing's wedding date, and there are many things in the official hall, so she naturally does not dare to slack off.

Li Yuanqing looked at the incense powder box in her hand, couldn't help but smile, took it, and smelled it, "What kind of smell is this?" Not bad. ”

The little girl's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she said softly: "Master, this, this is jasmine flavor." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and grabbed her little hand with his backhand, "What's your name?" ”

The little girl's pretty face became more and more red, she didn't dare to look at Li Yuanqing's eyes, and hurriedly whispered: "Back to the master's words, the maid, the maid is called Nian'er." ”

"Nian'er? Hahaha. Hahahaha! Not bad, good name. What a name! What a person as the name suggests! Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing.

Nian'er was a little scared, but in her big eyes, there was a hint of indescribable joy, and she murmured softly: "Master, you ......"

Li Yuanqing smiled, "I'll go talk to Steward Liu about this tomorrow." You don't have to be busy. By the way, I'm a little hungry, so you can let the kitchen fry a few side dishes and bring them to my room. ”

Nian'er understood what Li Yuanqing meant in the blink of an eye, and her pretty face was terrifying, but she understood that a road to heaven had been opened to her, and she hurriedly said respectfully: "Yes, master." ”

Looking at her pretty back, the corners of Li Yuanqing's mouth couldn't help but show an indescribable smile.

What a wonderful life in power!

…………

One day on July 17, Li Yuanqing rested in the back house and did not go out to socialize again.

But this little girl named Nian'er has become Li Yuanqing's personal maid.

Although Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry to eat her, anyone with a discerning eye could already see that this Nian'er, with his future future, had almost embarked on the Cotai Strip.

In the official hall, Steward Ma was reporting the specific process of the wedding to Li Yuanqing in detail.

Nian'er was on the side, gently massaging Li Yuanqing's temples.

"General, let's set off tomorrow to greet our relatives, return to the official hall at the end of the day, and ...... at noon."

Li Yuanqing had already read the flow chart, and he was basically familiar with it, so he nodded and said, "Everything will go according to the process." Especially on the VIP side, it must be arranged properly. ”

"Yes."

Steward Ma hurriedly nodded, but said, "Master, the gift money of all the VIPs has been counted now. The total is 213,652 taels, and gold has not been added, if you count gold, jewelry, and other gifts, I am afraid it will exceed 300,000 taels! ”

"So much?"

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be taken aback.

Steward Ma nodded hurriedly and said, "The account room in the house has been checked three times, there should be no mistake." ”

Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but smile.

No wonder in later generations, so many bigwigs are keen on holding children's marriages, this thing is really ......

"Good. I know about it. Accounts must be kept. At this time, the marriage is the first priority, and other matters will be talked about later. ”

"Yes."

…………

The time soon came to July 18.

Early in the morning, Li Yuanqing was served and put on the red groom's official robe.

Chen Zhong, Zhang Pan, Mao Chenglu, Chen Jisheng, Duan Xiliang, Guan Canghai, Xu Heizi, Wang Hai, Huang Guoshan, Kong Youde, Shunzi, Li Sansheng, Liu Dadou and many other generals and officials of various ministries were also dressed in red official robes, all riding on tall horses, waiting outside the gate of the official hall.

As soon as Li Yuanqing came out, he was surrounded by the generals and got on a high-headed horse with a pure black body, Shen Yourong's grandson Shen Jin, who personally led the horse for Li Yuanqing.

Under the escort of a group of generals, he slowly walked towards the house of Shang Lao Liu, where the woman temporarily lived.

Behind him was a long procession of dowries, dragged by hundreds of mules and horses, six or seven hundred people.

Shang Lao Liu's house is less than a mile away from the official hall, but to the east of Shang Lao Liu's house is the small square of the town.

Li Yuanqing's welcoming team had to first make a circle around the small square, and then enter Shang Lao Liu's home to greet his relatives.

But at this time, starting from outside the gate of the official hall and going all the way to the small square, there was a crowd of black people everywhere.

Li Yuanqing's marriage is the first priority in Changsheng Island, especially when Zhang Yunniang is about to be full-term.

All the people, soldiers and civilians of Changsheng Island got up early in the morning, just to catch up with the general.

"The general, the prince and the marquis, give birth to a noble son early!"

"I wish the general's family a happy family and a long life for his children and grandchildren!"

"General......

Looking at the eager faces, Li Yuanqing rode on a tall horse and gestured to everyone again and again.

Behind him, Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan, the members of the 'best man' team, were sprinkled with a lot of silver and copper coins.

As the saying goes, 'Fertile water does not flow into outsiders' fields'.

All the soldiers and civilians on Changsheng Island are his Li Yuanqing's private property.

Today is his day of great joy, and he will not be stingy.

Just the sum of the happy money along the road exceeded 10,000 taels.

Li Yuanqing also hopes that in this way, some benefits will be distributed to his people.

However, the copper coins and broken silver had already been wrapped in small red envelopes before, and the share of one or two per share was not like ordinary rich and noble people who directly sprinkled money on the heads of the crowd, but Chen Zhong and these people walked up to the front and handed each small red envelope to everyone's hands, so as to avoid riots due to robbery.

But because of this, it was about 10 o'clock in the middle of the calculation, and it arrived at Shang Lao Liu's home, and this time it was lively, and it was about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the greeting team arrived outside Shang Lao Liu's house.

Fortunately, Shang Lao Liu's side had already prepared and accelerated the process here, but it was still around 4 o'clock that Li Yuanqing picked up his bride.

Chen Zhong, Zhang Pan, Mao Chenglu, Chen Jisheng, Duan Xiliang, Guan Canghai, Xu Heizi, and Liu Dadou personally carried the 'eight sedan chairs' and began to rush to the official hall.

The people did not disperse at all, watching the bride's eight sedan chairs come out, they were even more excited, and the cheers were higher and higher.

"Madame will live a long life and give birth to a noble son early!"

"Madame's youth is eternal, and the production is going well!"

“……”

Through the curtain of the sedan chair, looking at the cheerful faces outside, looking at the most familiar figure riding on a tall horse in front of him and bowing to the crowd again and again, Zhang Yunniang's pretty face, two lines of tears, can no longer stop dripping down.

Is this the taste of happiness that readers say?

It turned out to be so sweet.
