Lin Dejia checked out and walked out of the office building of the guest house, and both sides of Diaoyutai Road were already full of people watching the excitement.

"It's coming, it's coming!" There was a commotion in the crowd.

A group of heavily armed soldiers opened the way in front, and two horses pulled a Western-style carriage dressed in red and colorful colors, and drove into the Diaoyutai Guest House with their heads held high.

There were no horses in Taiwan, only a few in the Manchu Green Battalion Army. These two horses were captured from Zeng Yuming North Road Association during the Battle of Autumn Hunting in Taipei.

People crowded around the carriage and rushed in the direction of the large restaurant.

Lin Dejia was the only one, with a little heavy footsteps, and walked towards the door of the guest house.

Behind him, the music of the wedding in the direction of the large dining room suddenly sounded.

Lin Dejia's steps were a little sluggish, she took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and walked straight out of the Diaoyutai with a firm step.

The large dining room is lit up with a red carpet from the main door to the wedding podium.

Hu Zhongzi was dressed in a brand-new robe, standing in the center of the wedding rostrum of the Diaoyutai Grand Restaurant, with a very serious expression, "Today we gather in front of God, in front of the two ancestors of Yan and Huang, and in front of all the guests, for the sacred wedding of Ma Jiayi and Han Yumo. This is a precious treasure left by God from the opening of heaven and earth, so it should not come in and out at will, but be respectful and serious. ”

Later, in order to facilitate the missionary work in China, Christianity changed the only god in their teaching, "Jehovah", from "God" to "God", in order to facilitate the missionary work in China.

Under the command of the pot Zhongzi, the guests stood solemnly facing the red carpet.

Huang Yizhou looked at the Zhongzi in the pot and presided over the wedding in a decent manner, shaking his head slightly, weddings have always been secular affairs, and Taoism intervened, he felt that it was very inappropriate.

"I've also read the "Natural Taoist Codex", and there is some truth to it, but there has never been a religious intervention in this wedding since ancient times."

Huang Yizhou is the son of Huang Shisan, hearing him complain softly beside him, Ren Xuefeng smiled and disagreed, "'Asking for a name' and 'asking for a date' all require divination, and secular weddings have had a natural connection with witchcraft since ancient times. ”

According to the Zhou rites, when the female family accepts the proposal of the male family, they will give the daughter's name and time to the male family, and the male family will find the witch Tao in front of the gods or ancestors to divinate the good fortune and evil, such as the auspicious omen, will decide to marry the daughter of the female family.

The date of marriage is also determined by divination.

Huang took Monday when the mouth was plugged.

At this time, I heard the loud announcement of the pot in the pot, "Now, we have invited Ma Jiayi and Han Yumo to appear on the stage." ”

The melodious ancient music of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" sounded, and the male and female singers chanted in unison, "Hold the hand of the son, and share it with the son." Hold the hand of the son, and eat with the son. The hand of the Son, return with the Son, the hand of the Son, sleep with the Son. Hold the hand of the son, and be happy with the son. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. Holding the hand of the son, what more can the husband ask for! Thank you, what more can you ask for in this life! ”

Under the witness of all the guests, Ma Jiayi, who was wearing a black Hanfu, held a red silk in his hand, led Han Yumo, who was also wearing a Han family dress, stepped on the red carpet, and walked into the wedding scene together.

The wedding host, Hu Zhongzi, read out the proclamation aloud: "Fengtian's work, the union of the earth, the will of the parents, from the wish of the newlyweds, the newlyweds Ma Jiayi and Han Yumo made a marriage ceremony today, became husband and wife, and became a family. The oath is vowed, and there will be no division for a hundred years. A lifetime of affection, respect for each other. Born and raised, prosperous. Heaven and earth are blessed, and the ancestors know it, and they tell the guests and friends from all over the world! ”

The pot is very proud, and the executive committee has handed over the responsibility of witnessing birth, marriage, and death to the natural way, and now he is very angry!

After worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping the high hall twice, and worshipping husband and wife, the cheerful music of "Flowers and Full Moon" sounded, and Ma Jiayi and Han Yumo, with the assistance of the prime minister, joined together and untied the hair.

Harmony means that the husband and wife eat the meat of the same animal and drink a glass of wine together to show equality and unity.

It is a unique wedding ceremony of the Han people that only appeared after the Han Dynasty. The bride and groom tie a strand of hair together, symbolizing that the husband and wife are one and the same.

The singers sang in unison, "The peach is dying, scorching its glory." The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room. The peach is dying, and there is a fact. The son is home, and his family room is appropriate. The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming. The son is home, and it is suitable for his family. ”

Hu Zhongzi took the marriage certificate from the hand of the prime minister, awarded it to the bride and groom respectively, and then announced loudly, "Now in the name of God, I announce that Ma Jiayi and Han Yumo have officially become a legal husband and wife." The gift is complete! ”

The audience applauded thunderously and cheered. At the same time, the deafening sound of firecrackers rang out outside the house.

After the ceremony, the banquet begins.

Seeing Qian Shuiting come over with Ai Beile to toast, Han Yumo was about to drink it all with his wine glass, Ma Jiayi hurriedly stabbed her, "Lord Shoufu toasts, we husband and wife should obey our fate." It's just that I have a question. ”

According to the "Etiquette" compiled by the team, the wedding belongs to the five rites, and Ma Jiayi and Han Moyu made the first experimental guinea pigs.

The wedding was so pompous, the bride Han Yumo was naturally very happy, but the groom official Ma Jiayi was not very happy.

I heard that the expenses of the wedding and banquet are all my responsibility, and Ma Jiayi, who doesn't like cumbersome, found Qian Shuiting, "Treat me as a guinea pig, and all these expenses should be discounted." ”

Qian Shuiting laughed, "That's no problem, you just give all the red envelopes you received to the book." ”

"Red Envelope~"

Ma Jiayi's face was a little bitter, and the red envelopes he received far exceeded the cost of the wedding.

"The groom, how can you be stingy at this time." Qian Shuiting's face lit up, "Money is a bastard, if you don't spend it when you get married, when will you spend it." ”

The matter of charging was originally proposed by Qian Shuiting, so he naturally would not let go.

The monthly income of the crossing cadres is generally about 100 oceans, the salary of the indigenous officials is about 60 yuan, and the ordinary personnel are also around 5 yuan, and the salary of the crossing team in December alone is more than 200,000 yuan.

Qian Shuiting manages finances, not only thinking about sending money, he cares more about people's consumption. In his view, the cultural industry can also be used as a great tool to make money and enter the consumer market.

Yunlan sat at a table with his parents and Miao Buying's family, and Shen Yue, the magistrate of Taoyuan, watched from afar, feeling very unhappy.

As soon as Shen Yue arrived at Diaoyutai yesterday, he went to visit Yunlan, who was the secretary of the Taoyuan County Party Committee. It's just that Yun Lan has a lot of work at hand, saying that he has time to chat with Shen Yue again, and he hasn't seen Yun Lan come to him until now.

Seeing Yunlan talking and laughing happily at the wine table, Shen Yue thought about it, forget it, anyway, this is also a member of the executive committee, his own boss, so let's take the initiative myself.

Seeing Shen Yue, the magistrate of Taoyuan, walking over with a cup, Yun Lan patted his head hard and forgot about it! He will go down to Taoyuan County to work tomorrow, but he has been busy arranging weddings, meetings, court affairs, and borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, so he has not had time to communicate with Shen Yue.

He quickly stood up and pleaded guilty to Shen Yuelian, and the two flashed to the side and talked.

Miao Buying turned his head and glanced at Shen Yue, and Yun Dongming explained with a smile.

"Going to work in Taoyuan County?!" Miao Buying was a little suspicious, could Yunlan have been demoted.

Miao Buying belongs to the captured personnel, although he has been arranged to be a counselor in the Museum of Culture and History of the Ministry of Rites, and he is also a teacher in Guozijian, but the news on government affairs is very closed, and he never takes the initiative to care.

"Xiaoyun is still young and needs to be honed, if Bailihou can do a good job, it will not help him in the future."

During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, the Taoyuan area was still a place where aborigines lived and gathered. In 1737 (the second year of Qianlong), Guangdong immigrant Xue Qilong led the crowd to reclaim the Taoyuan area, and the reclamation range was from Guilun Ridge (Guishan) in the east, to the foot of Kunzi (Neili) in the west, from Nankan in the north to Xiaoli in the south. Later, there were immigrants who planted peach trees all over here, and when the peach blossoms bloomed, the sea of flowers was like clouds, and it was renamed "Peach Garden", which was the origin of the name of Taoyuan County. Because the Taoyuan stream is dense, the Han people built a fort for defense, so it is also called "Taojian Fort".

After Chinese mainland immigrants began to move in large numbers, Fujian people mostly gathered in present-day Taoyuan City and the nearby coastal areas, while Cantonese people gathered in the inland Zhongli, Pingzhen, Yangmei, Longtan and coastal Guanyin and Xinwu. Due to the complexity of the family lineage, and the early Qing Dynasty, Northern Taiwan was regarded as a frontier area and rarely managed, the Fujian-Guangdong and Zhangquan fights in the Taoyuan area were very frequent, and there was a very complex relationship between vertical and horizontal.

After the Ming army settled in northern Taiwan, Taoyuan County was established with Taojian Fort as the center, and Taoyuan District, Zhongli District, and Daxi District were set up, including Taoyuan, Dayuan, Zhongli, Yangmei, Daxi, Three Gorges and other surrounding villages, with a population of about 50,000.

Shen Yue said that the working group has gone down to various villages to carry out extensive propaganda and education, and is preparing to carry out land reform in the next stage.

The topography of Taoyuan is divided into three parts, one is the plain area by the sea, and Shen Yue plans to concentrate on land leveling planning and build a large farm.

First, in the hilly plateau in the central part of the country, Shen Yue plans to promote the planting of tea and fruit trees, and in addition, make use of the abundant resources to develop building materials industries such as brick and tile factories, cement factories, lime factories, and wood processing plants, so as to serve the infrastructure construction in other regions.

The first is the alpine terrain in the east, because Taoyuan's human resources are relatively tight, according to the summary statistics of the working group, the current population is only more than 50,000. Shen Yue planned to temporarily relocate the people in the mountainous areas to the plains and hilly areas, concentrate on the development of the plains first, and make plans after the development of the mountainous areas.

Yunlan had long heard that Taoyuan was developed relatively late, and the population was not very large, but he didn't expect that there were only 50,000, which was not comparable to the 2 million population in later generations. With few people, the party building work should be completed very well, but there are some problems with economic development.

Returning to the position of the dining table, Yun Lan consulted his father, and Yun Dongming said without thinking, "The people should be organized first!" ”

Yunlan thinks about it, and when the people are organized, the follow-up work such as the nationalization of land and the establishment of agricultural companies will be better carried out.

Just as Yunlan and others were discussing how to carry out work in Taoyuan, there was a serious conflict between immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong in Xiaohuixizhuang, Taoyuan.
