Chapter 35: The Marriage Is Settled

Li Er left, he was satisfied, and when he left, he robbed ten people from Xu Yang's stone blasting team, and twenty craftsmen from the gunpowder research and development room were also taken away, but fortunately, the elite backbone was left behind by Xu Yang.

Before Li Er boarded the carriage, he whispered in Xu Yang's ear: "I don't want to see gunpowder anywhere else, you are the heir of this technique, and I allow you to use it, but if I see this thing in other places, then the Liu family in Youzhou, as well as the official system in Youzhou, I will be angry, and I think you, a smart person, should understand." ”

Pretending to accept Li Er's seemingly vicious coercion with sincerity, Xu Yang's heart became happy, he had already thought that Li Er was going to blackmail himself, gunpowder, a big killing weapon, would kill him if he was not careful, or give it to the emperor for safekeeping, and use it simply by himself.

However, Li Er is the emperor after all, he knows the way of the emperor, and he is very handy in the matter of beating a stick and then giving a date, and he ordered someone to reward ten horses of silk and thousands of dollars, and sealed the craftsmen who were snatched away as the master of ceremonies of the Ministry of Industry, the official position is not big, and the sesame seeds are bigger, but after all, it is not an official, so that those craftsmen who were originally from civilian backgrounds were teary-eyed and kowtowed to thank him. Xu Yang felt that if Li Er let them die now, they would all have no hesitation, alas, the feudal ideology is too poisonous.

Li Er drove as many as ten cars, and Bai Mei shouted 'get started', and after a puff of smoke and dust, all of them ran away.

As soon as Li Er's car left, several carriages stopped in front of the archway in front of Zhuangzi, Xu Yang was curious about who it was, and saw Liu Yi, the bearded man driving, helping Liu Mengli get out of the carriage.

Speaking of Liu Mengli, I haven't seen it since I saw it once in Jingkangfang last time, one is that Xu Yang is really busy during this time, and the other is that he doesn't know how to face Liu Mengli.

Mrs. Liu and Liu Dongliang have already decided on the marriage, Xu Yang has no elders, so he naturally listens to them, Liu Mengli is only sixteen years old this year, and she looks very cute, the living standard in the early Tang Dynasty is not high, and the average family is still thin and beautiful, if you want to say that fat is beautiful, it is a wonder that only appeared in the Tang Dynasty a hundred years later, Xu Yang is very glad that he did not cross over to the Tang Dynasty, otherwise he would not be able to live if he married an obese wife.

Liu Mengli got out of the carriage, Xin'er Wen'er mixed in, looking like a lady, Liu Dongliang and Mrs. Liu also got off the carriage.

"Virtuous son-in-law, which noble family are the dozen or so carriages just now, the old man sees that the carvings on the carriage are all first-class luxury cars." Liu Dongliang got out of the carriage and asked Xu Yang.

"The owner of the carriage that has just passed is the saint of today." Xu Yang scratched his head and said.

"Ahh When Liu Dongliang heard that it was actually the saint's car that had just passed by, he suddenly grew his mouth, and only after half a loud sound did he suddenly kneel down in the direction of Chang'an, kowtowing and saying: "The old man has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive your majesty." ”

Xu Yang suddenly felt that he was helpless.

"Uncle, Your Majesty has already left, and he can't see him if you apologize, so why don't you wait until next time you see him to make amends." Xu Yang looked at Liu Dongliang, who was still kowtowing while kneeling on the ground, and said, it was not a matter of delaying time all the time.

Liu Dongliang seemed to feel that what he said was polite, so he got up and patted the dust on his body, and said, "What the virtuous son-in-law said is extremely true. Then he seemed to remember something, frowned and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, I haven't seen you since I said goodbye to Jingkangfang last time, the old man and the old lady have been waiting for you to be hired, so that Mengli, this girl, always lives in Jingkangfang, it is not reasonable to be reasonable." ”

"Eh" Xu Yang scratched his head, is he going to marry so soon? Is it really suitable? Liu Mengli's cheeks were also slightly red when Liu Dongliang said it, after all, talking about marriage in front of Xu Yang, she was a little girl who couldn't let go.

Xu Yang also doesn't know the etiquette of the ancients, how much to hire, what the etiquette is, he is a modern person, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate, relatives and friends have a wedding banquet is considered to be married, who knows how people in the Tang Dynasty got married.

The old lady saw Xu Yang's embarrassment, walked over with a cane, and then said to Liu Dongliang: "Dongliang, Xu Xian's son-in-law came from overseas, I don't know much about the customs of the Tang Dynasty, if you want me to say, our Liu family will preside over it without authorization, and choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to do the marriage, and the virtuous son-in-law will help my Liu family so much, what else do you want as a dowry." What does the virtuous son-in-law think? ”

Old lady Liu's words came to Xu Yang's heart, he is a person who is particularly afraid of trouble, especially for the cumbersome etiquette of the ancients, when educating Li Chengqian and Li Tai in the palace, the rules of those palace maids and eunuchs to ask for peace are outrageous, Xu Yang thinks with his ass and knows that the wedding in the Tang Dynasty must be extremely cumbersome.

When Liu Dongliang heard the old lady say this, he also looked at Xu Yang to see if he had any opinions. Xu Yang bowed and hugged his fists and said, "It's all up to the old lady to arrange." ”

When they said this, they were all happy, the old lady and Liu Dongliang left time for Xu Yang and Liu Mengli very clearly, Liu Qi pulled Zhang Wu, who was Mu Ne, to the side, and Xin'er Wen'er also retreated.

For a while, there were only Xu Yang and Liu Mengli left under the archway of Zhongnan Villa.

The sun shines warmly on the body is very comfortable, the air in the valley is very fresh, and the wind seems to be mixed with a hint of floral fragrance, Xu Yang looked at Liu Mengli, whose face was red, and didn't know what to say, Liu Mengli also lowered her head shyly.

"How are you doing in Youzhou?" Xu Yang scratched his head, he felt that the atmosphere was very awkward.

"Well, that's good, where are you in Chang'an?" Liu Mengli's voice was like a mosquito buzzing, and the small ones were almost inaudible.

"Well, it's not bad." Xu Yang shrugged his shoulders, he felt that if he didn't say anything more, he would be embarrassed to death. "Let's go see the bombing mountain, we may all have to live here in the future." Xu Yang suddenly had an inspiration.

Liu Mengli's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she was also full of curiosity about the house she could live in the future.

"Let's go." Xu Yang shook his head and walked towards Zhuangzi with Liu Mengli.

"Big head, hemp pole, continue to blow up the mountain, Foreman Cai, bring the construction drawings of Zhuangzi, I want to revise and revise."

Recently, there is a Taoist power in Zhongnan Mountain, and this rumor has spread from Zhongnan Mountain.

The whole Chang'an believed this news, after all, bursts of thunder will not deceive people, where can there be thunder in this clear sky, only the powerful catastrophe can have such an amazing phenomenon.

Yuan Tiangang was still preaching at the Temple of Heaven, and the echo wall could reflect his voice countless times, ethereal, sounding like hundreds of people were muttering incantations, but after a while, a thunderbolt alarmed the listeners in the audience many times.

Yuan Tiangang felt that he needed to go down the mountain, and the Taoist priests on the mountain were rumored to be demons, but Yuan Tiangang felt that it was not, he felt that this was very similar to the explosion phenomenon described in the book "Junior High School Chemistry" given to him by Xu Yang. Whether it was a person or a ghost, Yuan Tiangang felt that he needed to go down the mountain, not to mention that the sound of thunder seemed to come from Xu Yang's fiefdom.

Wearing a yin and yang robe, holding a whisk of dust in his hand, with two of the smartest Taoist children and four martial artists, Yuan Tiangang embarked on the road down the mountain.
