Chapter 102: Homesickness

On the morning of the next day, Li Yuntian went to Lianghuai to inspect the Yanyu Yamen and handed over the confessions he had taken to Fan Ruhai, indicating that he agreed with the punishment of Fang Qing and others. Chasing the reckless wasteland, you have to be quick.

The two were sipping tea in Fan Ruhai's study, chatting happily, like a pair of old friends who had met for a long time.

Li Yuntian and Fan Ruhai are the front and rear foot jinshi, the two of them will deal with officialdom in the future, Fan Ruhai can let Emperor Yongle send to patrol the salt and Huai, there must be its advantages, naturally I also want to make friends with the calm and capable Li Yuntian, and become his help in the officialdom in the future.

Therefore, the two can be regarded as not knowing each other, and they cherish each other.

Li Yuntian hosted a banquet at a restaurant at noon, although it was natural for Han Hu to help Zhou Yuting run errands, but he was always a favor, and he was a martial artist of the third grade, so Li Yuntian naturally had to treat him politely.

Han Hu happily went to the appointment, and the martial artist had a bold personality, so after a few glasses of wine, he and Li Yuntian were called brothers, and the more he looked at Li Yuntian, the more pleasing he was.

Wei Deguang had already asked people to pull 1,500 taels of silver into Han Hu's camp yesterday and donate it to Yangzhou Wei in his personal name.

Although this money went into Yangzhou Wei's account, how to use it is what Han Hu said, after all, this is not the salary of the imperial court, Han Hu has a lot of dominating power, he made 10,000 taels from it, and the rest of the money was divided by the people below.

Han Hu naturally didn't believe that Wei Deguang would give him silver for no reason, as soon as he inquired, he knew that this was what Li Yuntian meant, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of Li Yuntian in his heart, and felt that Li Yuntian was righteous and didn't forget to give him a benefit.

After dealing with the affairs of Yandao Yamen and Wei Zhennan, Li Yuntian and his party set off and left by boat to the north.

Ten days later, the big ship arrived at the wharf of Jinan Mansion, Li Yuntian's eldest brother Li Yunhai was waiting anxiously at the wharf, according to the plan, Li Yuntian should have arrived a few days ago, never thought that Zhou Yuting and others would have an accident in Yangzhou and delay the trip.

Seeing that Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting had an intimate relationship, Li Yunhai couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, he used to think that Li Yuntian was a nerd who didn't know how to be amorous, but he didn't expect that he would have this hand, and he would actually coax the daughter of the Hou Ye Mansion to be happy.

In addition to Li Yunhai, Zhou Yuting's cousin Zhou Yong also came to the dock to pick her up, after all, Zhou Yuting has not passed the door of the Li family yet, and it is inconvenient to go back to Shimen County with the Li family.

Because of the way, the convoys of the Li family and the Zhou family returned one after the other.

Halfway through, a heavy snowfall unexpectedly arrived, and the two families had to stay in a small town to escape the snowstorm.

When the two parties arrived at the boundary of Shimen County, Jinan Prefecture, there were only two days left before Li Yuntian and Zhou Yuting got married.

In ancient times, the road was difficult, far less convenient than now, and the weather was greatly affected, so the day of returning home was delayed.

Soon after entering Shimen County, the people of the Li family and the Zhou family separated at a crossroads, one went to Lijiazhuang, and the other went to Dazhou Town.

Although there is a "Zhuang" character in the name of Lijiazhuang, it is actually a town, with one or two thousand households, and the number of the Li family accounts for more than half, and the current patriarch is Li Weiren, the eldest brother of Li Yuntian's grandfather Li Weixiao.

Li Yuntian's father, Li Chengming, is Li Weixiao's eldest son, and there is a younger brother Li Chenglang below, as well as several younger brothers, all of whom now live together, full of families.

The convoy has not yet arrived at Lijiazhuang, the town entrance has been lit crackling firecrackers, many people gathered there to watch the lively, Li Yuntian is the first Jinshi from Lijiazhuang since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it can be described as the glory of the ancestors.

According to the process, Li Yuntian came back this time to go to the ancestral shrine to worship the ancestors of the Li family, and after he bowed to the ancestors in the ancestral hall, he went to the Li family's mansion to meet the patriarch Li Weiren, while Lu Cao, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou went to say goodbye to Li Yuntian's grandmother.

Because Li Yuntian has an official status, all the clan elders and important people in the Li family's houses have come to the Li family's mansion, including his grandfather Li Weixiao, his father Li Chengming, and his second uncle Li Chenglang, who are the three people in his room.

The ancients paid attention to the orderliness of the concubines, so the concubines were usually unable to attend such solemn occasions, which invisibly revealed the gap between the two.

Li Yuntian kowtowed to Li Weiren, who was sitting at the top of the place, and then kowtowed to Li Weixiao and Li Chengming, and sat on the seat of Li Weiren's head with a smile.

For the Li family, everything is inferior, only the reading is high, and the title of Li Yuntian's gold list has brought supreme glory to the Li family, so it enjoys a special status in the Li family, and is the leader of the young generation of the Li family.

Li Weiren was worried that Li Yuntian would not know the county well, but he didn't expect Li Yuntian to do a few major things that caused a sensation in Jiujiang Mansion and even Jiangxi's political envoys, and firmly controlled the situation in Hukou County, which made him very happy in his heart, it seems that Li Yuntian is not a nerd.

In the evening, Li Weiren specially set up a banquet for Li Yuntian to receive the wind and wash the dust, Li Yuntian is already the honor of a county at a young age, and he may be able to wear a python robe and be ranked as a minister, which will be a great honor for the Li family.

When he came out of the Li family's mansion, it was already dark at night, and after returning home, Li Yuntian was called by Li Weixiao to the study and taught him bitterly, and told him to treat Zhou Yuting well, Zhou Yuting was the daughter of the Hou Ye Mansion and was blessed by the Li family to marry him.

Li Yuntian stood there respectfully, nodding his head from time to time, although Li Weixiao looked a little verbose, he knew that Li Weixiao was all for his good.

finally left the study, Li Yuntian was called by his father and mother again, and he instructed him to be cautious in the officialdom, and let him handle the relationship in the back house.

Who would have thought that Li Yuntian went to Hukou County, but it took more than a year to bring three charming concubines at once, among which Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou were still young ladies from big families.

The things in the back house are sometimes not simpler than the things in the officialdom, the father and the mother hope that Li Yuntian can take care of both the inside and outside, otherwise taking care of one thing and losing the other will lead to a discord in the back house, which will be enough for him to have a headache at that time.

"God, you're about to get married, so let's sleep in the wing room for the next two days." It wasn't until midnight that Li Yuntian was able to get out of his father's and mother's room, he was tired for a day, and was about to let the green calyx massage him to relax, but the old lady opened her mouth and instructed.

Li Yuntian's face suddenly showed a depressed look, he knew that the old lady was asking him to abstain from sex temporarily, after all, he would have to have sex with Zhou Yuting in two days.

Although I didn't want to, my parents' orders were hard to disobey, so I had to go to sleep alone.

Since Li Yuntian was named on the gold list in the capital, Li Weixiao has assigned Li Yuntian a courtyard in the house, with hospitalization, side courtyard, cross-hospital, etc., the environment is elegant, I didn't know how many people in the family were staring at before, but he got it.

Li Yuntian's new house was arranged in the main courtyard of that courtyard, and he couldn't sleep in the new house before getting married, so he had to go to the wing room on the side of the new house happily and continue to keep the empty room alone.

Early the next morning, Li Yuntian was sleeping in a daze when he was called by Yahuan, starting today, those relatives from other places will come one after another, and he, the groom, will naturally go to welcome guests.

The new branch of Jinshi married the daughter of the Hou Ye Mansion, this time he and Zhou Yuting's marriage to the entire Jinan Mansion was a sensation, not only the relatives and friends of the Li family, but also those famous families in Jinan Mansion have come to cheer, the number of guests will definitely exceed 1,000, it is the largest and most lively in the history of the Li family.

After washing up, Li Yuntian had a faint smile on his face, and greeted those relatives who came to congratulate him, most of whom he didn't know and needed someone to remind him.

Some distant relatives were too far apart, and after several generations, the Li family checked the family tree before they figured out the relationship between the two parties.

After two days, Li Yuntian was not only tired and half dead, but the muscles on his face became a little stiff because he had kept smiling for a long time, which made him have to move his facial expression from time to time.

Because Da Zhou Town is more than 20 miles away from Lijiazhuang, Li Yuntian got up early on the day of marriage, rode a high-headed horse after getting dressed, and went to Da Zhou Town with a rich bride price, which attracted the onlookers of the villagers along the way.

As soon as the team arrived in Dazhou Town, the Zhou family who were waiting at the entrance of Dazhou Town set off firecrackers, and many people gathered on both sides of the road in the town to watch the excitement, pointing to Li Yuntian who was riding on a horse and pointing and discussing, everyone knew that he was the Jinshi of Xinke.

Li Yuntian smiled and arched his hand to the crowd on the side of the road, and under the guidance of the Zhou family, he first went to the ancestral hall of the Zhou family, bowed to the ancestors of the Zhou family, and then arrived in front of the Zhou family's mansion.

The people of the Zhou family took the gift list and checked the bride price one by one, and only when the amount of the bride price was right, Li Yuntian could enter the door and take Zhou Yuting away.

After checking the bride price, Li Yuntian was invited into the mansion and met with the patriarch and elders of the Zhou family and Zhou Yuting's parents.

Li Yuntian saw the Marquis of Zhongyong for the first time, the Marquis of Zhongyong's name was Zhou Zheng, a burly middle-aged man with a face of Chinese characters, wearing a marquis robe, sitting there with a golden sword, with a smile on his face, looking Li Yuntian up and down, his eyes showing a satisfied look.

After meeting the elders of the Zhou family, Li Yuntian was led to Zhou Yuting's boudoir, ready to take Zhou Yuting back to Lijiazhuang.

"Uncle, I heard that you are brilliant and quick-witted, my young lady has set up three levels of Wenbi, if you can't break through, then the matter of taking concubines in the future will be decided by my young lady."

Just as Li Yuntian walked out of the front yard door happily, there was a red-clothed girl with a double bun standing outside the door, and she said to him in a coquettish voice that it was Zhou Yuting's personal maid Xue'er.

"Sanguan Wenbi?" Li Yuntian was slightly stunned when he heard this, he had never heard of a competition to receive relatives, and the bet turned out to be the power of concubines in the future, which was simply laughable. One
