Chapter 434: Forced Marriage

In the spring of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, on February 26, the day Yang Tinglin arrived in Shenyang, the red lady took the people in the cottage and embarked on the road to the east.

Shopkeeper Qin's ability to do things greatly exceeded her expectations. Knowing that the red lady was going to take more than 1,000 people to Shandong to settle down, the shopkeeper Qin first got 2,000 cotton coats, cotton shoes and some food, and sent someone to send them to the cottage. The rest of the supplies, which took three more days, were also prepared.

On the day of returning to the cottage, the victims knelt down for the red lady and knelt all the way to the gate of the cottage. I can't pull it up, this is a life, not one or two, but more than a thousand people. The clothes are warm, the food is full, and everyone has the strength to go on the road. Everyone carried a bag of "high-protein" fried noodles on their backs and set out on the road to the east.

After entering Shandong, Chen Xie's seal was revealed, and a qiē problem was not a problem. The official just looked at the red lady more and took note of Master Chen's taste in his heart. It turns out that I like to have a more wild temperament! It seems that the firewood girl may not have spring!

Shandong is more experienced in how to resettle the victims, and the abandoned land is everywhere, and it is not difficult to settle these people at all. According to the head, there is no 10 acres of land, no rent and no tax will be collected in the first year, and 20% of the rent and 30% of the tax will be collected in the next year. The government provided farm tools, seeds, and money needed to resettle the victims, all of which could be used to pay for the dredging of canals in the provincial capital.

There is such a thing as corruption, but in Shandong, it is not so strict. Then the opportunity of the drought, the unlucky ones caught a lot, the new officials, there are no local connections. I don't have that opportunity to embezzle. The local gentry are also very honest now, and if they are not honest, they can't be honest, and their shadows and ghosts are everywhere, and when they find something illegal, they immediately come to the door to arrest people. If you are caught, you will not be tortured, and you will be directly asked to lose money until you are bankrupt. If someone in the family is an official, they have to be impeached by the judge. This trick is really vicious, hitting people's lives. Shandong according to the Judge of the gang of people. There is no good thing. Why? After these people get the real evidence. If you impeach one down, you will be rewarded with a fine. In front of silver, any friendship is fake. I wish there were people in the families of those big families who committed crimes, and there were people with fame and official positions.

Smoothly walked to Shandong, and the red lady inquired. Chen Xie is still in Liaodong. I won't see him for a while. Simply. Returned to Jinan and continued to perform. Hmph, my aunt and grandmother don't eat the food that comes to me! The red lady who embarked on an artistic life again. Soon I found a strange phenomenon, many people came to reward every day.

These people are so annoying, when others give tips, they all lose Dengzhou money, and when they give rewards, they all lose silver yuan. And from only a few people to reward at the beginning, it has developed to hundreds of people every day to throw silver yuan. The red lady was not polite, and when she earned the silver, she bought waterwheels, ploughing cattle and farm tools, and gave them to her cottage villagers.

The days are very easy, but in the dead of night, that person always comes to dreams, and he is very presumptuous. How many times have I woken up in a dream, my whole body is soft, and the valley is crossing. The underwear has been changed frequently.

Master Chen didn't know that someone was dreaming for him in Shandong, so Master Chen would accompany Yang Tinglin, walk around, inspect the three armies, and bring them His Majesty's kindness. After working for several days, Yang Tinglin walked to every place before he was able to live in peace.

Finally had a day off, and Yang Tinglin came again. At first, I thought he was coming to say goodbye, but when Chen Xie invited him with wine, Yang Tinglin smiled and said: "Sihua, after the business is over, let's talk about private matters." When Chen Xie heard this, he teased him: "What, you talk to me about personal matters?" Could it be that there is a daughter at home and you plan to marry me? ”

This is related to the presumptuousness of a Cheng dù, this kind of joke is beneficial to the relationship between the two to be more harmonious.

Yang Tinglin laughed when he heard this: "It's not the second daughter's business, but your business." But when you're done with your business, we can talk about it. ”

When Chen Xie heard this, he couldn't laugh anymore, looked at Yang Tinglin calmly, and said lightly: "Say, who will be the matchmaker?" ”

Yang Tinglin is not surprised that Chen Xie can guess the meaning, it is very simple, which single is the hottest in Daming now? It's the one in front of you, the absolute diamond king. The family of the Ming Dynasty, the wife in the true sense, refers to the wife. The system of monogamy and multiple concubines, which was the marriage system of the Ming Dynasty. Three wives and four concubines, it's not nothing, then you have to mix to a higher level, such as the prince. The opposite sex is the king, basically don't think about it, when the day comes, all the officials in the world have to look forward to your death.

"Yang is here to be a matchmaker for the heavenly family! Sihua, what do you think? Yang Tinglin opened his mouth lightly, and Chen Xie's expression immediately became extremely exciting, like how to say it? Constipation, I can't pull off the, and I can't say anything no matter how hard I try.

"Wait!" Chen Xie raised his hand, luck, my luck, it took a while, Chen Xie's luck was finished, and he felt that he could speak well, so he said with a speechless face: "Boxiang, this joke is not funny." The princess of Majesty, how old is the biggest? I remember I've seen it, it's been a few years, at most eight or nine years old, right? ”

Yang Tinglin smiled: "Eleven years old! Chen Xie said with a cold face: "Boxiang, am I like a bird or a beast?" Yang Tinglin shook his head, and Chen Xie said, "Isn't that the end?" If you let me marry an eleven-year-old princess, won't I become a fowl or a beast? ”

Yang Tinglin was surprised: "Why did Sihua say this? Folk marriage, eight or nine years old. Princess Changping is eleven years old, and she will be twelve years old next year, and she will be old enough to marry the year after tomorrow. Why are you a beast? If you want to say this, the concubines of seventy and eighty years are not as good as birds and beasts? ”

Uh, Chen Xie was dizzy and reacted, the realm of the Ming Dynasty is not applicable to modern concepts. "No, I said, whose idea was it? I'm really ....... "Chen Xie is a little incoherent, I can't say this reason. It was the first time for Yang Tinglin to see Chen Xie so disadvantaged, and he couldn't help laughing and said, "Chen Sihua, Chen Sihua, you also have today." I'll tell you about this matter, it's the meaning of Majesty. For this reason, the queen also personally invited me to the harem, and the emperor and His Majesty asked me to be a matchmaker. If you say yes, if you don't, you won't have any friends in the future. As he spoke, he picked up a knife of mutton and put on a posture of cutting off his robe. This is going to force marriage.

Chen Xie slowly calmed down, looked at the meaning in Yang Tinglin's eyes, and suddenly understood what he meant. Chen Xie couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed heavily: "Boxiang, I know that you are for the sake of Daming's society, and in your body, of course, there are also private feelings at work, but if it weren't for Daming, with your character, you wouldn't have made this trip." But I really can't promise you right away. In this case, you go back and tell the princess, I want to meet the princess and ask her what she means in person. Then make a decision, so that you can go back and resume your life, and I have time to think about it slowly. ”

Yang Tinglin was relieved, what he wanted was Chen Xie's attitude. Or Chen Xie's attitude after understanding his thoughts.

"Okay, that's it. Let's drink first, and then let's talk about children, I have a concubine in my family, who is three years old this year, and you have a concubine in your family who has a child. After Yang Tinglin finished speaking, his face was eager, this time it was really a private affair.

Doll dear! Chen Xie was thundered. The problem is, this is Daming! Touching his chin, Chen Xie pondered for a moment, and this time quickly made a decision: "Yes, you can, but you have to send your daughter to Dengzhou first, I will raise my daughter, I am afraid that the daughter raised in your family, my son will not like it, and it will not be good if the husband and wife do not get along in the future." ”

Yang Tinglin was very simple, patted his thigh and said, "Okay, just do it." ”

Big brother, can you be a little more reserved? Chen Xie was speechless again.

Yang Tinglin went back, and in mid-March, the remnants of the Liaodong occupation area were basically wiped out. A cinder highway was also built to Liaoyang. The weather was fine, the grain and grass were plentiful, and the roads were not so muddy, so they had the conditions to continue the expedition. This time, Chen Xie did not follow the expedition again, but Chang Shiren led his troops north, and Wang Ben went west, to the Horqin grassland.

The two groups of people were released, Shenyang was thrown to He Xian on guard, and Chen Xie was recalled to Beijing by an edict.

What to say about this, Yang Tinglin returned to Beijing and was immediately recruited into the palace. Zhu Youzhen and Queen Zhou asked him together, and Yang Tinglin also saw the little princess standing on the side with her head bowed.

One, two, three, four, five, Yang Tinglin didn't hide it at all, just repeated the original words, and finally made up for it: "Chen Sihua has a good relationship with Zaixia, and by the way, he got married." After speaking, he had a very calm expression.

Zhu Youzhen and Queen Zhou didn't arrive, and the little princess couldn't help but look up at this matchmaker and brother. What's going on? The princess's affairs were not settled, but you took down the baby kiss first. However, Zhu Youzhen quickly reacted, which shows that Yang Tinglin's work has basically been achieved. After sending this goods down, Zhu Youzhen looked at his daughter with a solemn face.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't speak well about this matter, so he had to get up and take a step first. Empress Zhou waited for him to leave, and then said to Changping: "Sister, this matter is the meaning of this palace." I didn't ask you before, so I'm sorry. Although you were not born in this palace, you have always been raised as your own child. Chen Sihua is a great husband today, marry him, you don't lose, this palace doesn't lose in your heart. ”

Generally speaking, the royal family is a recruiting horse, but Chen Xie is an exception. The meaning of Zhu Youzhen and the queen is to marry. It is to marry a daughter like an ordinary family, and the purpose of this is to show the kindness of the royal family.

The little princess's eyes were full of panic, how could she have such mental preparation, she was called to listen, and told her that she had this matter. Little girl, she hasn't grown up yet, and she's about to get married. But she doesn't have any right to decide on this matter.

"Daughter listens to the mother!" Zhu Yujiao: This is the standard answer! In things, she has no choice at all.

"Okay, since that's the case, then arrange for you to meet with Chen Sihua and see what he wants to ask you." Queen Zhou smiled, and she could see that this child had no resistance. Speaking of which, Chen Xie is in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, in the mouth of the eunuch and palace maid, he is a fairy-like figure. Little girls listen to what others say, so they naturally listen to what they believe in what they believe. Moreover, it's not ugly, I've seen it once, it's still small, and I feel so tall, like a mountain. (To be continued......)
