Chapter 731: Marriage

Guojiazhuang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The surrounding farmland has been barren, and it is said that since the owner of this place has changed, all the cultivators have been sent away, but fortunately, they have been given enough money to prevent them from losing their lives, but there is no dispute.

After only two months' work, the weeds on the barren ridges were even better, and no one had cleaned them up, even the dirt road leading to Guojiazhuang in front of the domain was gradually hidden in the weeds, with an indescribable depression.

The twilight was sinking in the west, the twilight was flickering, and a few old crows were parked on the shadowy pine branches in the distance, fluttering around in the forest, wailing and wailing.

Close to the pine forest here is a small inn for business travel and rest, the inn was still very lively before, and then with the rise and fall of Guojiazhuang also depressed, but I don't know who suddenly put this place down, continue to open the door to do business, this shopkeeper hired a few guys, but it is rare to see a guest a day. Even if the occasional tourist who goes out of the city to take a break here, he just comes in to drink a pot of tea and eat some of it with a plate of fennel beans, and the business is extremely dark.

The shopkeeper of this inn actually didn't come often, and every time he came over, he was in a hurry, and in this sunset, the guys were leaning on the door and dozing off, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves outside.

"It's the shopkeeper here." The two men who were sitting on the bench leaning against the door cheered up, helped their scarves and hats, and hurried over to lead the horses of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was in his forties, with a gloomy face and a pair of eyes like a cone, turned over from the horse, inquired about the business as usual, and then said, "Go and call Xu Tang." ”

He entered the inn and went up to the upper room on the second floor, and after a while, a scholar in short clothes came in, with a short coat with an open placket on his upper body, breeches on his lower body, and a scholar's scarf on his head. Xu Tang bowed to the shopkeeper and said, "Why did the shopkeeper come so late today?" ”

The shopkeeper sat on the chair, but didn't actually greet him, and said straight to the point: "What's the news recently?" ”

Xu Tang Zhengse said: "There are more than 200 newly recruited people into Zhuangzi, so calculated, the number is at least 1,300 people, every day there are cars and horses from Bianjing to enter, most of them are to transport grain and some vegetables and fruits, but the morning before yesterday, but the morning before yesterday, there were more than 30 carts, the carts were covered tightly with felt cloth, the imprint of the axle was very deep, and the weight of the tools carried in this cart was only afraid of light. ”

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said, "You can make it clearer." ”

Xu Tang said: "There are not many tools in the car, but they are extremely heavy, except for gold and iron, the students can no longer think of any tools, according to the students, the car should be loaded with weapons." ”

"Weapons!" The shopkeeper took a breath and continued to ask, "Is it true?" ”

Xu Tang smiled bitterly: "Only ninety percent is in control." ”

The shopkeeper leaned on the chair, beat the beat, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said: "It's too late to check carefully, the master said that the arrow has to be sent on the string, do you know, the day after tomorrow is the middle of the month, it is the time of the great court." He was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "Remove this inn tomorrow, it's almost done, so many people are here, this is ironclad evidence." ”

Xu Tang said: "Then I'll spread the news later, so that everyone can get ready." ”

The shopkeeper said lightly: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

The two gossiped for a while, and the shopkeeper rested in the upper room, and the inn fell silent again, and it was not early, and the business was surprisingly dark, so the door was closed early, and the crescent moon had just gone up the branches, and began to put up the door panel to prepare for closure.

In the upper room on the second floor, you can see the outline of the Qing Guojiazhuang in the distance, and the shopkeeper pushes open the window in the upper room to look at the brightly lit and noisy Zhuangzi in the distance.

Compared with the inn, Guojiazhuang is much more lively, the rows of houses are brightly lit, and each row of houses is willing to add oil to the oil lamps, and the lights are bright; Under the lamp, there were spies sitting side by side, who practiced during the day and at night, and listened to the doctor's lectures indoors.

Naturally, there are no Four Books and Five Classics taught here, and the courses are mostly based on local languages, food, and habits, and occasionally some common knowledge such as business, accounting, work, and hidden language, and night walking.

After leaving Guojiazhuang, they will change their faces, or they will be called shopkeepers, or they will go to be merchants, some will even go to the yamen to do errand work, and some will even become shipwrights, so a lot of knowledge may not be proficient in them, at least they must be involved.

Such a day is extremely boring, but for these displaced people, it is really a lucky thing to have a livelihood and a monthly silver to support their families, so no matter how the instructors and doctors toss, they can endure it, and no one complains.

In the lobby near the school building, it is the place where Chen Ji lives and works, a separate hall, there are ear rooms on both sides, the night is already deep, and the homework has been placed, Chen Ji poured a pot of tea alone and sat on the couch, on the couch is a long few sons, a few pieces on the chessboard, the chess game is obviously messed up, Chen Ji drank tea casually, his eyes fell on this residual chess piece faintly, motionless.

The candlelight jumped and reflected on Chen Ji's calm face, and he took a sip of tea, a trace of tiredness appeared on his face.

After a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, Chen Ji didn't move, compared to a figure stepping into this ear room, Chen Ji just said, "What's the news in the city?" ”

The person who came was hidden in a place where the dim candlelight could not be illuminated, and his face could not be seen, so he said lightly: "His Royal Highness has entered the palace, and he came out of the palace safely, and Li Bangyan immediately went to the East Palace after coming out of the door." ”

"Well, what's wrong with the official book?"

"Cheng Jiang also went to the East Palace, and they didn't say anything when they came out, as if they had a quarrel."

"Quarrel?" Chen Ji raised his eyes.

"Yes, Li Bangyan looks preoccupied, but Cheng Jiang is hesitant."

Chen Ji bowed his jaw and said, "What else?" ”

"That night, the descendants of the Li family took their names and went around to visit the lords of the court, all of whom were usually friends with the prince and Li Bangyan, and the people who visited them have been recorded, a total of seventy-three people."

Chen Ji sighed and said, "It seems that they are going to make a difference during the Great Dynasty Meeting." ”

"Do you want to send these messages to Your Highness?"

Chen Ji shook his head and said: "There's no need, Your Highness knows better than you and me, you go down, and tell the old man immediately if there is any news." ”

Chen Ji took a sip of tea, and the people who had just come in had already retreated at some point, and Chen Ji suddenly muttered: "The captain, the spy, and the billions of family fortunes, and now he is the prison country of Western Xia, will he reign in the world?" Chen Ji raised his head, looked at the beams of the house, a pair of eyes seemed to have pierced the roof tiles, a sneer appeared on his face, and said lightly: "The wealth of so many people is maintained on him, and he can't get rid of it." ”

The night passed, and the dawn of the morning swayed out of the clouds.

The Pingxi Palace, which has been dressed up, has dozens of carriages parked outside the palace, and in addition to this, there are a thousand captains riding horses, wearing red and green, and it is extremely lively. The explosion sounded, Shen Ao stepped on the horse, sat on the horse with satisfaction, and shouted: "Untie the cable." ”

The infantry team began to move, the captains in front rode horses to open the way, and the servants of Jingzhao Mansion held plaques with gongs, Shen Ao was crowded across the street, and the lively people had blocked half of the street, and a few children clapped their hands, jumping and shuttling through the crowd, shouting: "King Pingxi is marrying a bride again!" ”

Shen Ao sat on the horse and felt depressed, thinking to himself, why did they say it? It's so bad! Such a young child knows how to be sarcastic.

Shen Ao was in a very good mood, not really going to marry the bride, but going to the Jin Palace's side to give six gifts, the time was still set yesterday, he came out of the palace, and suddenly said: "Tomorrow is good, it's a good day to get engaged, okay, it's decided like this, go and ask for marriage tomorrow." "Anyway, call Liu Sheng over, a good reminder, the bride price will be ready overnight, Jingzhao Mansion and Wubei Academy have been notified, even the Jin Wangfu has also greeted in advance. The Jin Wangfu called someone overnight and asked, "Why is it so fast?" ”

Shen Ao replied that without further ado, it was better to choose a day than to hit the sun.

This kind of answer made King Jin very dissatisfied, and he felt that this guy had some conspiracy, but if someone wanted to come, he couldn't stop it, so he simply ignored it.

Although the Advisory Bureau scolded Shen Ao for a bloody head, but Shen Ao's reputation among the people was not bad, Shen Ao saw everyone cheering, so he sat on the horse with satisfaction and waved to everyone, asking people to distribute candy all the way out.

This caused more children to swarm like moths to follow Shen Ao's horse, and the captains were not good at driving them away, which made Shen Ao very embarrassed.

Occasionally, a few scholars would come over to take a look, and then they showed disdain, but the result of such people was a minority, and it took an hour for the bride price team to arrive at the gate of the Jin Palace.

Shen Ao dismounted in a robe, wore a beam crown, saw that the gate of the Jin Palace's mansion was closed, and the captain behind him said, "Your Highness, let's go and knock on the door." ”

Shen Ao crossed his hands and said, "Of course, this kind of thing is the king himself, get out of the way, get out of the way." After that, he stepped forward, slammed the door fiercely, and said, "Open the door, open the door, Chenglong's son-in-law is coming to the door!" ”

There was a buzzing answer from the gatehouse: "Your Highness, forgive me, my lord said that this door will not be opened." ”

Zhou Heng suddenly burst out and shouted, "They are forcing us to break in." ”

Shen Ao patted Zhou Heng's head and reprimanded: "Breaking in? Do you think this is a robbery? Know some rules, this door was broken, and in the end, didn't it cost the old man's money to repair it? The old man's money is his cousin's money, are you smashing the Jin Palace, or your cousin? ”

Zhou Heng immediately felt weak, and the whole person was a little shorter, and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

Shen Ao laughed and said, "Set up a ladder!" Go, get someone to move the ladder! ”

The lieutenants scattered in a hurry to look for a ladder, and those who were good people shouted: "Come to my house and move, I have a ladder in my house." ”

Someone else laughed and said, "Rush in and snatch the county lord out!" ”

People are like this, when they get together, they get fat, and what they didn't dare to say before is said unscrupulously in the crowd at this time, and then they are drowned in laughter.

At this time, someone had already taken the ladder, and everyone made way for the captain who carried the ladder, and the Jin Wangfu seemed to notice that something was wrong, and finally opened a crack in the door, and Zhao Zong, the king of Jin, poked out half of his head with his eyebrows, and said with a beard: "The skin is too thick!" ”

Shen Ao immediately went to push the door, and Zhou Heng came over to assist, and opened the door at once.

Zhao Zong stopped Shen Ao's way in a serious manner, and said to Shen Ao: "What is the reason why the king of Pingxi is here to come to this king?" ”

Shen Ao said unceremoniously: "Come and give six gifts to Lord Taishan." ”

Zhao Zong's eyes widened and said: "This king only loves the princess, and he doesn't have a habit of breaking his sleeves, what are you doing to give six gifts to this king?" ”

Shen Aoda was embarrassed, and immediately said, "It's to send six gifts to the county lord." ”

Zhao Zong held the shelf and said: "The county lord of Qinghe is indeed in the boudoir, but he is not allowed to give you, why did you come to give six gifts?" ”

Shen Ao's tone was not good, and he said: "I don't understand what the prince said, obviously you are urging you to say that the county lord can't get married, and if you don't come to give gifts, you will become an old girl." ”

Zhao Zong blew his beard and said, "Really? Did this king say it? He immediately felt much weaker, so he had to say, "Okay, you go to the hall and sit down first." ”

The group arrived in the hall lively, the princess of Jin had been sitting on the ground wearing a phoenix shirt and waiting for a long time, Zhao Zong and the princess sat side by side, Shen Ao sat unceremoniously on the left side, and Zhou Heng and several lieutenants were also unceremoniously wanted to sit, but they were scolded by several servants of the palace: "Hey, the prince didn't let you sit, go outside and wait." ”

Zhou Heng shouted: "How can this be true! Why did you tell us to wait outside? We have been commanded to take care of King Pingxi. ”

The servant said: "The prince will not take care of you. ”

A lieutenant's eyes widened and said, "The protégé of the Son of Heaven is here, and you dare to stop him?" How daring! ”

Shen Ao hurriedly went over to persuade: "That's it, that's it, what's the quarrel?" It's not like that. His eyes widened, and he said to the servant, "This is your fault, all the people who come are guests, how can there be any reason to drive away guests?" Come, come, there's no need to be polite, everyone sits. ”

The servant muttered twice and glanced at Princess Jin, who only bowed lightly before the servant stepped aside.
