Chapter 420: Grape Harvest
The discussion about the train has slowly passed, that is, some people will mention, that is, some low-level people will also mention, and even occasionally some people from Chang'an City, or the surrounding people go to the edge of the railway to watch what is called a train.
And the Yang family, under the auspices of Yang Heng's wife, began to unfold the six rites of Yang Li and Yang Hu, which is quite troublesome to get married in the Tang Dynasty, if these six ceremonies are fully launched, it will take nearly a year, and the old lady now wants to save face, so let's take it slowly.
"Husband, Yuzhang is not small, you see, should you also perform the six salutes." On this day, when Changle came back from the palace, he said such a sentence to Yang Heng.
"Lady, dear, you say, did Your Majesty or the Queen say something?" Seeing Changle like this, Yang Heng knew that it must have been someone who said something, and it might even be Li Er.
"It's my father, he thinks that the two of us were too hasty at the beginning, and he asked you to marry Yu Zhang, who should also come according to the standard six rites, and Yu Zhang came as a flat wife." "Lady, are you so generous?" Yang Heng was very curious, and even asked directly regardless of Changle's thoughts.
"Husband." Changle's face was a little gloomy, "It's not that I'm generous, although Yuzhang was proposed by me first, but I can understand Yuzhang's psychology, and our sisters, as long as they identify things, then they won't look back, what should I do, even if I fall out with Yuzhang, she will also pester you, it's better to be a good sister directly, besides, do you really have a wife for me in this life, don't you say yes, you see that this time the Cui family gave Cui Shiniang to Yang Hu, if there is no Yuzhang." Then Cui Shi Niang is yours. How do you object. If you oppose it, you will offend a big family, and you already have an enemy, do you want to continue to have an enemy, I estimate that there will definitely be other families to give away to our Yang family in the future, and it is also possible to send you a concubine, you can object. ”
"I, this." Yang Heng originally wanted to refute. But think about it again, this family of mine has been slowly established, if something happens to me, this family will not decay, if you offend some families because of yourself, it really shouldn't be.
"Husband, you understand, when the family was weak in the past and relied on you alone, maybe you could offend people at will. But now it's not possible, you can let your hard work go to waste. Just follow my father's wishes, and besides, I'll be eighteen next year. Speaking, speaking, Changle became a little shy, eighteen, what do you mean, that is, she has been married for so many years, and she is finally going to become a woman.
So, the Yang family added another object of six salutes, that is, Yuzhang, that is to say, these big children, Yang Kun has no daughter-in-law, but this is not in a hurry, because Yang Kun has not appeared in front of people yet.

"Report, Ah Lang, Shuo Fang called, the grapes in the vineyard are beginning to ripen, and the new housekeeper asks what you should do?" Xinsheng, now he is a big housekeeper in Shuofang, but there are some things, he still needs to consult Yang Heng, in order to grow grape seedlings in the past few years, Yang Heng did not let the grapes bear fruit, and the flowers have been removed, but this year is different, the next year this grape will be more productive than a year, especially this year, it is the first year that the grapes begin to bear, and in a good year, Yang Heng estimates that the growth of this grape will also be good.
"Call back to the freshman housekeeper and say that he will organize someone to pick the ripe grapes first, pick them and put them away, and I will rush to Shuofang immediately." "Yes."
"Yang Hua, you go to the academy to ask the baby if she wants to go to Shuofang Vineyard with me." Baby, Yang Heng must ask, otherwise when he goes to Shuofang by himself and comes back, the baby will definitely be angry, it is better to ask her, if she wants to go, it doesn't matter if she wants to go, even other family members Yang Heng wants to take it with him, but they all have something to do, so they have to take the baby.
"Big brother, we're back, when will we leave?" Sure enough, the baby really wanted to go, and the seven of them came back together, "You go and inform your sister-in-law, as well as Yuzhang, let them also prepare, we will set off immediately, I will go and prepare some utensils to bring." "Yang Heng not only has to prepare utensils, but also looks for an uncle.
"Uncle, don't do anything else recently, make me more than 100 large oak barrels, and let our transport team send them to Shuofang Vineyard when you're done, okay?" "Okay, I'll do it right away, you give me the size, it's just a relatively quiet time."
"Big brother, your carriage is still comfortable, it's much better than ours." Not long after the trip, the baby found a problem, because at this time, there were ten people sitting in the carriage, and there was a maid on the side, that is, eleven people, but they were not crowded, and the vibration of the carriage was smaller.
This carriage, but Yang Heng's special carriage, is made to prevent someone from sneaking attack, the carriage can be said to be made of steel plates, with a strong crossbow, it will not shoot through fifty steps away, why is this, Yang Heng is afraid of being attacked by someone, there may not be anyone near Chang'an to sneak attack him, on such a long road, maybe someone will use a strong crossbow to sneak attack him from a distance, and once the sneak attack is completed, it will quickly disappear into the mountains, no matter how great your ability is, you may not be able to escape such a sneak attack.
In fact, Yang Heng didn't know that the person who assassinated him had been driven overseas, and now that his Yang family had basically taken shape, assassinating one or two people alone would actually not have much effect.
The carriage is heavy, naturally some of the corresponding parts need better quality, whether it is bearings, or spring plates, which are specially made, so that when the carriage starts, the three horses pulling the carriage will be a little tired, when it starts, it is lighter than the ordinary carriage, and even because the carriage is heavy, the carriage will be more stable.
Also, the items in this car can be moved, that is, if there are three or five people in the car, you can put away the table and divide it into several single rooms for people to rest in it, that is, this single room is relatively narrow, and it would be good to have a place to rest, that is, now, there is also a place to rest on the side, and people can take turns to rest inside.
However, Yang Heng does not have the idea of rushing day and night, during the day, he will have a few opportunities to stop and rest, if there is no roadside shop, they will camp in a flat place, and then continue on the road, at night, they will find a roadside post station to rest, just like that, four days later, they also arrived at the bridge.
"The owner has arrived." In the distance, I heard someone shouting, and when I looked out of the glass window, I found that there was a row of people standing at the bridgehead, they were toll personnel, and there were new students, and the new students actually greeted the bridge.
In this way, Yang Heng had to come down to take a look when he arrived at the bridge, "New student, this bridge toll is easy to collect, no one will make trouble." "Back to the east, no one makes trouble, most of the people who often cross the bridge have bought annual passes, and some people have bought monthly passes, and some people who don't cross the bridge often, they won't blow up, because everyone knows that this is the bridge you paid for to repair, which is much safer than crossing the bridge by boat, so they are very sensible to pay."
Although repairing bridges and roads is considered to be doing good deeds, but this kind of bridge is not within the scope of doing good deeds, no matter who builds such a bridge, it must be a rich family, and even needs to pour the wealth of the whole family to build such a bridge, however, some people are rich, and they may not be able to build this bridge, this, technology is here, it's not such a simple thing, isn't it, you know, in the previous life, in the early days of the Celestial Empire, it was difficult for a country to build a bridge. Although the two bridges are not comparable.
"Come, ride a horse and talk to me about this vineyard." Yang Heng knew that the new students were coming, and they also wanted to report about the vineyard in advance, so at this time, he did not get into the carriage, but chose to ride a horse, so that he could ride a horse in parallel with the new students, and the new students could report to him about the grapes.
"Yes, Aaron." So the team set off again, you know, there are still dozens of miles from the vineyards, but a separate cement road has been built to connect the past, so there is no dirt road. (To be continued......)
