Chapter 188: Mid-Autumn Festival
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Most of the officials in the city closed their doors and were empty.
Only the door of the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households Mansion was wide open, and there were rows of dignified-looking horsemen standing in front of the mansion.
On the school field in the backyard of the Qianhu Institute, Yang Xiaoyu was dressed in a unicorn suit, with a rusty spring knife on his waist, his eyes slowly swept over the more than 300 Tiqi wrestlers below, and said loudly: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, you should have returned home earlier to reunite with your wives and children, however, we are concerned about the safety of the Ming Dynasty and the society, to protect the peace of a place, and to suppress the bandits of a city, how can we slack off." ”
Yang Xiaoyu paused for a moment, looked at the displeasure on the faces of the riders below, and said with a smile: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this official does not let you go back to your home to enjoy the joy of family, but I have prepared a little heart for you!" After saying this, he waved at the rider behind him.
Six sturdy horsemen carried three large boxes and put them on the school platform.
opened the box, and a golden light instantly shot out from inside, and the eyes of the stabbing crowd in the audience ached.
"Three taels of gold per person, come forward and receive it!"
Yang Xiaoyu had a generous smile on his face, but his heart was dripping blood, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the riders to come up and receive the gold.
There are special scribes and wrestlers on the school platform to maintain order, beware of riding and pretending to be led many times.
Yang Xiaoyu took four hundred households under his command to the hall of the thousand households, took out the silver tickets prepared earlier, and said with a smile: "In the past few days, you have been busy and hard, and this silver should be used as a hard fee for you." ”
During this period of time, the hundreds of households were exposed to wind and rain, monitoring the three princes in the city day and night, and they did not dare to slack off.
At this time, Yang Xiaoyu rewarded them with silver, and everyone looked at each other, took the silver tickets, and thanked Yang Xiaoyu.
The silver that Yang Xiaoyu took out was not copied from the Ling family, but the tavern and prostitute in Yangzhou City. Courtyard. and the filial piety of the wealthy salt merchants.
"Today, Cheng Baihu stayed at the Thousand Households, and the other three Baihu took their respective subordinates and rode to the Jiangning County Mansion with their officials!" Yang Xiaoyu smiled and smiled with a cold light.
"Jiangning County is holding a happy event in the palace, isn't it appropriate to go at this time?" Chen Yingren thought that his young master was going to block the king of Jiangning County, so he hurriedly stood up and said.
Yang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "This official knows that there are rumors about the Jiangning County Royal Mansion in the city. Worried that the sedan chair of the county lord of Ningmeng would be blocked by the people in the city and miss the auspicious time, it would not be good, so the official decided to take the horse to escort the sedan chair of the lord of Ningmeng. ”
Hundreds of households have lowered their heads to probe, they are not stupid, the current rumors in the city, except for Jinyiwei who has the ability to spread, other forces cannot spread in the whole city at all.
Moreover. Yang Qianhu ordered them to monitor several county princes every day, which can be described as Sima Zhao's heart, and passers-by know that he would be kind enough to escort the sedan chair of the county lord of Ningmeng.
Hundreds of households slandered Yang Xiaoyu's hypocrisy in their hearts, but no one dared to show it on their faces.
Yang Xiaoyu didn't explain much, and waved his hand to let the four hundred households under his command go down to prepare.
Half an hour later.
Yang Xiaoyu took three hundred ti and rode mightily to the palace of Jiangning County.
The daughter of the prince of the county got married, and the pomp was natural and magnificent, and there were many carriages of dignitaries and nobles gathered in front of the mansion of Suzaku City. The sound of firecrackers in the house is endless.
Zhu Leshan, who was dressed in a prince's dress, forced a smile and stood in front of the hall to greet the guests who came to give gifts.
The character who can enter the hall. They are all noble people, even the salt merchants who have a lot of money can only wander outside the former mansion.
The celebrant shouted the names of the guests, and the courtyard was full of laughter and joy.
"Lord Yang of the Thousand Households of Jinyi Wei has arrived!" The celebrant held the post in his hand and shouted loudly.
Moment. The sound of firecrackers stopped, and the hustle and bustle stopped abruptly.
Yang Xiaoyu, who was dressed in a unicorn suit, smiled on his face, walked with hearty steps, and walked into the county king's mansion with three hundred households wearing flying fish suits.
Zhu Leshan's eyelids, who were greeting the guests, jumped violently, as if something bad had happened. Hurriedly turned to look, but saw that all the people around him were looking towards the corridor.
He was curious for a while, and thought that the prince of the clan had come, but when he turned his eyes, he saw a young man in a unicorn suit bowing slightly to the surrounding guests, with a smile on his face, as if he was the one who was going to marry today.
Zhu Leshan fixed his eyes again, and there were three men in flying fish suits behind the young man in the unicorn suit.
"Ahh
Zhu Leshan was shocked and shouted out loud.
The flying fish suit is the symbol of Jinyiwei, and as a prince, how can he not know.
Yang Xiaoyu, who was walking in the front, he had already recognized that this young man was the rude person he saw at the Shen Mansion family banquet that day.
It turned out that he was a brocade guard, no wonder he was arrogant and dared to be rude to himself.
Zhu Leshan was shocked, but also guessed why Jinyiwei came?
His daughter's reputation was ruined by rumors, and she hanged herself three or four times to die, if it weren't for his repeated admonitions, today's happy event might have become a funeral.
Jin Yiwei still has the face to climb the door of his mansion?
In his opinion, his daughter went out to meet friends and was followed by Jinyiwei, and most of these rumors that hurt his daughter were released by Jinyiwei.
Zhu Changle thought that his daughter's reputation was ruined, and the resentment in his stomach suddenly appeared, and his fear of Jinyiwei in the past was a little less.
"Congratulations to the prince of the county, congratulations to the prince of the county!"
Yang Xiaoyu smiled, stepped forward and bowed slightly to Zhu Leshan, and congratulated loudly.
The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Zhu Leshan just has a stomach full of grievances, and it is inconvenient to vent in front of everyone, he bowed his hand back with a flat expression and said: "Tongxi, please take a seat in the hall!" ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
Yang Xiaoyu smiled, the cloak behind him danced in the wind, and strode into the hall, and the three hundred households behind him followed Yang Xiaoyu into the hall.
Sitting in the hall were all relatives of the Zhu dynasty, as well as local officials from Nanzhili and Yangzhou.
These people are all highly respectable people, and they can also be intimidated by a random person on the street.
After Yang Xiaoyu walked in, he didn't salute everyone in the hall, and sat directly on the chair outside.
The three hundred households stood side by side behind Yang Xiaoyu and didn't say anything, and the people in the hall were stunned.
After Yang Xiaoyu sat down, he casually glanced at the people in the hall, and saw that they were all staring at him, as if they had flowers on their faces?
When he swept over Shen Mingda on the fourth chair opposite, he smiled slightly, stood up and took a step forward, and said with a smile: "I've seen Shen Zhifu!" ”
"Lord Yang!" Shen Mingda was speechless for a while, Yang Xiaoyu was doing officialdom etiquette, and he had to return the salute according to the rules of officialdom.
These days, he doesn't eat well, he doesn't sleep well, he thinks about explaining to Yang Xiaoyu, and by the way, he also explains to the three princes, who knows that Yang Xiaoyu doesn't listen to the explanation at all, he sent people to invite Yang Xiaoyu to come to the house several times, Yang Xiaoyu was stunned because of official business as an excuse, and he couldn't refuse; When he was about to explain to the three princes, the matter of the county lord of Ningmeng was full of storms, and in order to avoid suspicion, he did not communicate with the three princes.
It wasn't until yesterday that he received an invitation from the Jiangning County Palace, and he thought about taking this opportunity to ventilate to the three princes, who knew that Yang Xiaoyu would come to the Jiangning County Palace, and their son-in-law would meet here?
After Yang Xiaoyu saluted, he ignored Shen Mingda's astonishment and sat on the chair with his eyes closed.
The prince in the hall who was in his fifties saw Yang Xiaoyu, as if he had seen a ghost, it was no wonder that he scolded Jinyiwei for being a dog at the family banquet in the Shen Mansion, who would have thought that Yang Xiaoyu was actually Jinyiwei, and he was wearing a unicorn suit, obviously an official above the fifth grade.
The people in the hall stared at Shen Mingda and Yang Xiaoyu, as if they wanted to see something from their expressions.
Yang Xiaoyu closed his eyes, calm, and had a posture of not falling down.
Shen Mingda didn't squint, he was slightly distracted, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, the people in the hall began to talk loudly, but they were all avoiding Shen Mingda and Yang Xiaoyu, and their eyes flashed from the two of them as they spoke.
There were many cumbersome etiquettes when getting married in the Ming Dynasty!
When the sun flashed through the sky, the greeting team was late!
The band was blowing and playing, so lively.
Yang Xiaoyu sat in the hall boringly, took his subordinates out of the hall, stood outside the hall and watched the bride in a wedding dress slowly walk out of the mansion with the support of the matchmaker and the maidservant.
Behind him, a large number of people carried the things for the dowry, and walked out of the house after the bride.
As the prince of the county, Zhu Leshan personally sent his daughter out of the house.
Yang Xiaoyu smiled coldly and took his subordinates out of the county king's mansion.
Outside the palace, more than 300 brocade clothes and horsemen gathered, standing on both sides of the street outside the palace gate. (To be continued......)
