Chapter 265: Double Happiness Comes to the Door
Xiao Yi passed by a spearman standing on the city wall, his eyes swept over his hand, and he saw that the back of the spearman's hand holding the spear was actually cold red. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the inspection, Xiao Yi brought a tiger gun, stood outside the mansion, held the tiger gun tightly, and suddenly felt a coldness, and after a long time, he actually felt that his hands were frozen and painful.
Everyone didn't know why, they didn't know what Xiao Yi was doing, and they were surprised, only to see Xiao Yi return the tiger gun to the spearman, and rushed to the side of the people: "Call Qi Haoguang to see this official." ”
Not long after, Qi Haoguang, who had just walked out of the workshop, entered Xiao Yi's garrison mansion.
Xiao Yi said: "It's a cold winter, and the soldiers will inevitably have cold hands, can they make something to keep them warm?" ”
After hearing this, Qi Haoguang immediately understood what Xiao Yi meant, and discussed with Xiao Yi for a long time, and then returned to the workshop, and soon a pair of coarse cotton gloves were made from the military uniform factory.
This kind of gloves are easy to make, and the daily output is enough to produce hundreds of pairs, which is enough to equip the whole army in a few days, and is very effective in keeping out the cold.
These gloves are divided into two kinds, one matches the color of the Yong'an Army's uniform, and the other is matched with the Ming Dynasty's Mandarin Duck Jacket, which is distributed to the Zhenwei Battalion, which looks much more regular after wearing.
The soldiers reacted strongly, saying that they were no longer afraid of frostbite on duty in winter after wearing it, and these problems always had to arise in the past, and Xiao Yi also sent a message to allow the soldiers to wrap their faces in a towel to prevent frostbite in the cold and howling winter.
As soon as the army came, Xiao Yi's voice of loving the army spread all over Ulzhou, and within a few days, Datong knew everything, and the army and the people praised it.
The time came to October 3 of the third year of Chongzhen, when it was already cold, but it was very festive inside and outside Ulzhou, it turned out to be the deputy commander of the Yongan Army at night, and Zhou Baotai, the general manager of the hundred, was about to get married, and the married woman was even more unexpected.
It turned out to be the eldest lady of the Zhao family, Zhao Yanlian, the two had a secret affection for the incident of the officers and soldiers a few months ago, and now they are finally getting married, and Xiao is also very happy for Zhou Baotai.
Many people can't understand how Zhao Bianlian thinks of Zhou Baotai, which also makes many merchants who secretly like Zhao Bianlian, who have always claimed to be wealthy, and scholars who claim to be knowledgeable can't understand.
Why did Zhao Yanlian fall in love with such a vulgar martial artist? What's more, he is only a deputy commander, a hundred presidents, and he can't match Zhao Yanlian's identity.
Xiao also met Zhao Lianlian a few times, and had the impression that although this girl was born weak, she was a strong person, and her means can also be seen from the fact that one of them can support the Zhao family's business.
Zhou Baotai and Zhao Fenlian tied the knot, which is good news for Xiao Yizhong, and even more good news for Yong'an Jun and Ulzhou, the richest man in Ulzhou in the Zhao family, is actually the first of all merchants in Ulzhou.
Zhao Yilian and Zhou Baotai's marriage is also equivalent to becoming a family with the Ulzhou official army, and will definitely fully support Xiao Yi in the future.
The Zhao family's mansion is located in Xiao Yi's garrison mansion across three streets, but on the day of the wedding, the big family usually needs to set up a banquet in the Zhenyuan Building first to feast the guests.
On this day, there was a sea of people outside the Ulzhou Drum Tower, the Zhao family was overjoyed, not to mention the merchants, even the gentry and the scribes of the state city were invited to come a lot, Zhou Baotai also had a high status in the Yong'an Army, and it happened to be in time for the Yong'an Army holiday, so naturally there would be many generals to congratulate.
Although the drum tower has two floors, it is still full of people, and the streets outside are congested.
Xiao Yi, as a garrison, naturally received an invitation from the Zhao family, in fact, even if the Zhao family didn't give an invitation, Xiao Yi would have to come uninvited.
Outside the drum tower, a servant's voice was a little hoarse, and his face was crooked, but people were still like a tidal wave, constantly coming.
As soon as he greeted one, his eyes lit up, and he raised his voice and shouted, "Yo! Wu Dongjia has arrived, please inside! ”
"Hey, Yin Dongjia is also here, please come inside, the banquet has already been prepared!"
didn't have time to catch his breath, and when he saw a group of scribes in front of him coming with a crowd, he squeezed out a smile to greet him, and shouted inside: "Miss, Lord Zhizhou Wang has arrived, please come inside!" ”
Wang Zhan was followed by Zheng Wenju, Zhou Youcheng and a group of scribes and gentry, and when he arrived at the side, the people on his side naturally made way for him, smiled at Zhao Yanlian, and arched his hand: "The eldest lady is good at building a city in Zhouzhou, and the official congratulates him and expresses his heart." ”
Zhao Yanlian was slightly blessed and said: "Adults come, my Zhao family is really brilliant, please come inside!" ”
Everyone behind Wang Zhan greeted Zhao Yanlian with a few words of congratulations when they passed by, and Zhao Yanlian just smiled in response to this, and did not do anything else.
As soon as Wang Zhan and the others sat down, they heard a sudden commotion outside, and then Zheng Wenju, the same acquaintance, frowned and said, "Why is there a commotion outside?" ”
Before anyone could respond to him, the little servant outside shouted in surprise: "The garrison has arrived, the garrison has arrived!" ”
"Huh? The garrison is here! ”
Xiao Yi's pomp was not as big as Wang Zhan's, he held Huang E, and only followed Shi Gang, Shi Lu, Huang Yang, Wang Dayong, and Liu Sheng.
Xiao Yi was wearing a red official robe, embroidered with a tiger and leopard complement on the official uniform of Zheng Sanpin, a bronze medal clanging around his waist, and cowhide official boots on his feet.
Huang E was also held aside by Xiao Yi with a smile on her face, Huang E in front of her was wearing a mink fur, she was a third-grade guard lady, all the time, following Xiao Yi's ears and eyes, her demeanor was impeccable, her words and deeds were dignified and steady, and she looked graceful and luxurious, and she was no longer the original country girl.
After the servant shouted, two people hurriedly came out of the drum tower, and they were Zhou Baotai and Zhao Yanlian.
At this time, Zhao Lianlian really looked beautiful, wearing a red cardigan with large sleeves, wearing a phoenix crown, and Zhou Baotai on his side also lost his wartime martial arts, and he looked a little stunned in a nine-grade dress.
When he heard Xiao Yi coming, he hurried out, and immediately hugged his fist: "I have seen the guard lord!" ”
Xiao Yi laughed when he heard this, and the generals and officers of the Yongan Army behind him also laughed constantly, and even congratulated Zhou Baotai and felt that something was wrong.
Glancing at Zhao Fenlian with a puzzled gaze, Zhao Fenlian glanced at her with a reassuring look, then bowed to Xiao Yiyi, and said slightly: "Grass people Zhao Fenlian, I have seen the garrison and the young lady. ”
Xiao Yi smiled and signaled that it was okay, Huang E took Zhao Yanlian's hand and said with a smile: "My sister is really gratifying to get married." ”
Zhao Yanlian said with a smile: "I have heard the name of the young lady for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really luxurious." ”
Xiao Yi said to Zhou Baotai: "The official came here, firstly, to congratulate you on your kid's marriage, but the official said that I will be present when you get married." ”
Zhou Baotai smiled innocently, and then saw Xiao Yizheng and said: "Second, Zhou Baotai, this official has already intended to appoint you as the commander of the cavalry battalion, and you will be promoted to the general manager, and the recruitment of new recruits in this cavalry battalion will be handed over to you." Considering that your kid is happy today, and the appointment clerk will arrive tomorrow, I will finish the cave room today. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Yanlian's face was slightly red.
"Haha, congratulations, Mr. Zhou!" Wang Dayong laughed and said, he was also full of joy, he saw Zhou Baotai's efforts all the time, and he really deserved this position.
"It's really a double happiness, holding such a beauty into my arms, and having such a heavy responsibility, which makes my old stone envious!" Shi Gang grinned.
Zhou Baotai looked very excited, his body trembled a little, he gritted his teeth and said: "Humble duty, Lord Xie, I will go to the soup to repay the fire!" ”
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "What do you want you to do in the soup, hurry up and enter the cave room!" ”
The generals behind him laughed again, and then Xiao Yi confessed and left.
Zhou Baotai looked at the backs of Xiao Yi and others, his heart was full of emotion, Xiao Yi trusted himself so much, he couldn't imagine the complexity of the affairs of the state city, and Xiao Yi often dealt with it until late at night.
In such a busy situation, Xiao Yi did not forget to visit him, and came on purpose, which was already regarded as a close confidant.
Xiao Yi came this time, which made many people who looked down on Zhou Baotai and thought that Zhou Baotai was a toad eating swan meat couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Zhao Yanlian's beautiful eyes also stared at Xiao Yi's back, this person is really incomprehensible.
The official is the general, the actual leader is a battalion, or a cavalry battalion, which is different from the infantry army, and now no one dares to say that Zhou Baotai is not worthy of Zhao Yanlian, and this matter spreads in general.
It has become a beautiful conversation between the military and civilians of Chengzhou City after dinner.
