Chapter 397: The Big Wedding (6)
Kill!
Li Guozhu's voice was not loud when he said this word, but it shook Liu Zhiyang's ears.
He didn't believe it, how could Yuan Chonghuan, who was the governor of Jiliao, do such a rebellious thing! Could it be that he didn't care about the emperor's suspicions and the court's discussions?
It is true that Liu Zhiyang is a martial artist, but he has been in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and he is still a man Qing'er in many ways, and the most taboo thing about being an official is to monopolize power, or to be considered by the emperor and courtiers to be a monopoly of power - if Yuan Chonghuan really killed Mao Wenlong, wouldn't it be equivalent to clearly writing the words "monopoly of power" on his face?
If he really dares to do this, Liu Zhiyang can think of it with his toes, and the edict is waiting for him in front of him!
So no matter how conclusive Li Guozhu said, Liu Zhiyang didn't want to believe Chu Fan's speculation - he could see the serious consequences of doing this as a martial artist, but Yuan Chonghuan wouldn't be able to see it? Has he been in vain for decades?
And as far as the public is concerned, Liu Zhiyang is even more reluctant to believe this speculation. Mao Wenlong founded Dongjiang Town from scratch, and his subordinates are all Liaodong refugees who do not share the sky with the Tartars. He Yuan Chonghuan boasted of the Haikou of "five years of Pingliao" in front of the emperor, and it was when he relied on Mao Shuai and Dongjiang Town, how could he destroy the Great Wall as soon as he came up?
But Li Guozhu's sentence "Think about how Du Yingkui died" made Liu Zhiyang hesitate again - this Yuan is undisciplined, but he has a criminal record!
Out of admiration for Mao Wenlong, Liu Zhiyang thought left and right on this issue and wavered, so that even Chu Fan, the groom official, arrived and welcomed the kiss step by step to the climax.
Yan Ruxue, who was dressed in full costume, was already surrounded by all the maids, and was led out by Yang Dijiao with a red silk - according to the rules, the bride should have been led out of the boudoir by her brother, but Yan Ruxue had no brothers-in-law, only Yang Dijiao was replaced.
After the red silk was handed over to Yang Tiansheng's hands, Chu Fan knelt down in front of him under the leadership of Chu Ning, Yang Tiansheng told him to "honor his in-laws" and "teach his husband and children" as usual, and Chu Ning should be "a good woman and a good woman" and "raise the case with eyebrows", Yang Tiansheng helped Chu Fan who was kneeling and handed the red silk into his hands.
This means that the mother's family has finally handed over the bride to the groom, and the firecrackers that have been hung on the square for a long time suddenly rang out, and the red confetti accompanied by green smoke fluttered everywhere, scattered everywhere on the dense heads in the square; The cheerful sound of drums soared into the sky, as if it was about to compete with the sound of firecrackers.
The boiling around finally pulled Liu Zhiyang back from the entanglement, and when he saw Chu Fan leading Yan Ruxue towards the eight-lift sedan chair full of red silk, his sore nose and eyes heated up for no reason.
Needless to say, he is sighing for his old friend Chu An - the old friend died young, leaving only such a single seedling, and now that he has finally become a family, the incense of the Chu family is hopeful!
Like him, his nose and eyes are hot, and Song Xiance is standing far away in the crowd.
His greatest wish in this life is to become the legendary monk of the Chengzu Dynasty - Yao Guangxiao!
That's right, the dwarf is an ambitious conspirator, which is why he traveled thousands of miles and risked his death in the sea to go to a foreign land, he believes that the young man in front of him who is so excited that his face is crimson, and he is helping the bride to get into the sedan chair is his "Yan Wang Zhu Di"!
That's why this scene made him feel particularly emotional-because this was not only a critical moment for Chu Fan, but also a critical moment for the entire Fuliao Army!
In this era, the so-called "self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world" is something that any man must experience; Home is the starting point of a man's career, and he doesn't even have a daughter-in-law, so how can he talk about "Qi family"? If you can't get home, you naturally can't "govern the country", let alone "level the world"!
Moreover, "there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest", and no heirs is the biggest unfilial piety - this person who puts filial piety first, and a person who can't even sustain his own incense will inevitably incur everyone's spurn, and still want to lead the group? That's a pipe dream!
Although Chu Fan is still young, in this era of prevalent early marriage, it is really a huge hidden danger in Song Xiance's view that he has not yet started a family at the age of eighteen.
Because Chu Fan is no longer the unliterate Dengzhou Xiaoxiucai, under his command, he has gathered a fleet with dozens of huge ships, a Fuliao army with thousands of tigers, and a huge interest group composed of thousands of craftsmen.
As the core, he doesn't have a family for a day, and all of this is like a castle built on the beach - if one day he has three long and two short, everything will disappear like a big wave.
In Song Xiance's view, marrying and starting a family is only the first step, and more importantly, Chu Fan should give birth to a son in the shortest possible time - the birth of the eldest son will greatly consolidate this increasingly huge military and economic group!
In Song Xiance's emotion, the sun has risen high; The huge welcoming procession slowly rose with the eight-carrying sedan chair and began to march south.
The first was still the cavalry battalion led by Liu Zhongwen himself, and on both sides of the team were the soldiers of the Fuliao Army who covered their weapons.
The distance from Myeongsu-dong to Susan Mansion was only 12 or 3 miles, but the whole procession walked for more than two hours -- along the road, those former Korean herdsmen and villagers spontaneously surrounded and presented meager congratulatory gifts.
Of course, they sincerely congratulated Chu Fan, after all, without Chu Fan's words, they might still be struggling to survive under the cruel oppression of the Liu family; But in doing so, the march of the procession was greatly delayed; For the sake of safety, the soldiers of the Fuliao Army kept them from a distance of 100 meters and screened them one by one -- if someone took the opportunity to assassinate someone with bad intentions, it would be a lot of fun.
And after receiving the congratulatory gifts, they had to arrange for these people to follow the team back to Shuishan to eat the flowing water banquet - the etiquette is still the most basic - although these did not have to worry about the groom's officials, but they made Chen Shangren and Song Xiance tired enough, and they were arranged before and after running, and their voices were hoarse.
It was easy to return to the Shuishan Mansion before noon, and the bride's entry into the door was a whole set of tedious and grand ceremonies; And the dowry of more than 100 cars prepared by the six families for Yan Ruxue was to be displayed on display, and then counted and stored one by one.
In the cheerful and warm atmosphere, it took more than an hour, and after finally welcoming the bride into the door, Chu Fan didn't have time to take a breath, and started today's highlight again - opening the door to welcome guests!
The Zheng family led by Zheng Zhilong, who came from afar, was the first group of guests, and the officials of Jingyi County were the second group.
When the third group of guests arrived, Chu Fan couldn't help frowning slightly, and there was a trace of strangeness in his heart for no reason.
That kind of emotion is called loss! (To be continued.) )
