In the face of Wang Ze's decision, although Liu Xin and Yang Ku have a lot of unsatisfactory, as long as Wang Ze agrees to call the king system, it is a good thing, but there is still a very important thing to do before Wang Ze calls the king system, that is, Wang Ze must get married.

The first person to raise this matter was none other than Wang Ze's old mother Gong Xi Wenyan, who had just arrived from Gaomi County in Qidong, although Wang Ze was only seventeen years old this year, but Zhu Qingqing and Cheng Xueyan, who were women, were not young, especially Cheng Xueyan was several years older than Wang Ze, and Shaohua could not afford to delay.

Even in ordinary people's families, the marriage of the eldest son and eldest grandson is a great event, not to mention that now Wang Ze is the de facto lord of a country, and the marriage event cannot be ignored, and it cannot be acted hastily, so the entire East China Sea suddenly revolved around Wang Ze's wedding.

First of all, the people of the East China Sea spontaneously celebrated Wang Ze's wedding, and the merchants from all over the East China Sea also took this opportunity to reduce the price and promotion, which emptied a lot of inventory and reduced a lot of prices, so that the maritime merchants of the Nanchen countries were attracted a lot.

Originally, Wang Ze's marriage was handled by Liu Xin and Yang Ku, which saved Wang Ze a lot of effort, but because of the arrival of his family and Cheng Xueyan and Zhu Qingqing's families, Wang Ze took a lot of thought.

Although Wang Ze is the eldest son and eldest grandson of the family, and is very loved by Wang Yong and Gongxi, and the two people he wants to marry are Zhu Qingqing and Cheng Xueyan, what he didn't expect was that so many people came from all the counties of Qidong at once, and almost all the elders who originally stayed in Qidong came.

In addition to Wang Ze's mother, it is not an accident that Aunt Cheng and Aunt Zhu, who have been following their husbands in Gaomi County, came here, and the appearance of Cheng Xueying, who followed Zhou Cheng's old Taoist priest, did not surprise Wang Ze, but even Wang Yong, Cheng Chong, and Zhu Rui, who had never left Qidong, also appeared, which made Wang Ze feel a little surprised.

"Father, second uncle, third uncle! I thought you weren't coming! When he saw Wang Yong and the three of them get off the boat and appear in front of him, Wang Ze greeted them with a smile on his face, Wang Yong and the three of them did not come with Aunt Cheng and them, but came in the next fleet.

Although Wang Ze has decided to set the capital of Zhenhai, because the construction there is not yet perfect, there is still a lot of preparatory work to be done, so Wang Ze still wants to get married in Pingyang County, which can be regarded as a helpless comfort in the hearts of the people of Pingyang County.

"Stinky boy, you're getting married, how can I not come?" Wang Yong patted his eldest son's shoulder with a smile, only to find that Wang Ze had grown as tall as himself, and it seemed that this height would continue to grow a little, and it was easy to surpass him, so Wang Yong smiled even more happily.

Wang Ze smiled and saluted Cheng Chong and Zhu Rui, and asked, "Father, second uncle, third uncle, you all came here in the East China Sea, what if the Qi army takes the opportunity to attack the six counties of Qidong?" "Although the six counties of Qidong are far inferior to the counties of the East China Sea, it is still a pity to lose them like this.

There was no need for Wang Yong to explain, Zhu Rui on the side explained with a smile: "Da Lang, don't worry, Northern Qi is now fighting with the Northern Zhou Dynasty for many years, and is busy dealing with the Turkic attacks every year, where does he have the energy to take care of the six counties of Qidong?" Moreover, there is General Yuan Jia in Gaomi County who is responsible for commanding all the soldiers and horses, so there is no need to worry about it, and there is also Mr. Puyang there to help General Yuan, which is enough to be safe and worry-free! ”

Speaking of which, after Zhu Rui finished talking about the six counties of Qidong, he began to change the topic and joked to Wang Zedao, "Why is Da Lang still called Third Uncle?" It's time to change your tune, right? ”

made Wang Ze's face flush all at once, but Cheng Chong didn't seem to see that Zhu Rui was joking, he smiled and said: "I think it's more cordial for Da Lang to call the second uncle, it's been so many years, and I'm used to this title!" ”

Cheng Chong looked at the increasingly prosperous scene in the port of Pingyang City and exclaimed: "Dalang, your East China Sea is becoming more and more prosperous, when you attacked Jeju Island, I was still worried about you, for fear that you would not be able to stand there, I didn't expect that there would be such a foundation now!" ”

Originally, Pingyang City was the main traffic point of the north-south traffic of the counties in the East China Sea, and the ships passing by from the south to the north at ordinary times, coupled with the abundant products of Pingmachuan and its surroundings, also attracted a large number of ships, so the port here was originally very lively, and now because of Wang Ze's wedding, the ships attracted are even more crowded in the port.

Wang Ze glanced at the ships in the port, the ships were already so crowded that they couldn't even accommodate the port, and there were at least hundreds of ships waiting in line in the vast bay outside the port.

Zhu Rui also exclaimed after seeing the scene here: "Yes, isn't your Pingyang City only a few years old?" Why is it so prosperous, when Jiaozhou Port was the busiest, I am afraid it was less than half of the port of Pingyang City! ”

Because the ship that Zhu Rui and his entourage took directly detoured to the south of Qinjin and sailed directly to Pingyang City from the open sea after stopping at Jeju Island and Qinjin City, and did not sail from the relatively prosperous inland sea, so I never felt how Wang Ze was developing here.

In particular, Jeju Island, which was originally well developed, was far less prosperous than it was because of several wars and later large-scale migration of people, which made Wang Yong, Zhu Rui, and Cheng Chong quite suspicious of the original rumors. Books.com

But now, when they saw the scene of Pingyang City, they finally understood why those who had been to the East China Sea said that their hopes were overseas, not in the land of Sanqi.

For Wang Yong and the two uncles' surprise, although Wang Ze was proud in his heart, but his face was not too exaggerated, he beckoned everyone to get on the four-wheeled carriage that had been prepared, and on the other hand carefully explained the development of his father and two uncles over the years.

Although it was the first time for Wang Yong to hear Wang Ze talk about the dangers of these years, the smile on his face could not hide his pride in his eldest son, while Cheng Chong and Zhu Rui sighed for Wang Ze's experience from time to time.

From the port to Pingyang City, it usually takes half an hour for the carriage to travel, not to mention that there are many people in and out of the city now, but unconsciously, when the group arrived at the residence, Cheng Chong and Zhu Rui still listened to it very much, but at this time, Wang Ze didn't have time to accompany them, because there were still old women, Aunt Cheng, and Aunt Zhu to accompany them.

Since the father and the second and third uncles are here, Wang Ze asked Liu Xin and Yang Ku to be responsible for entertaining several elders, but Wang Ze's old lady Xi Wenqi is unceremoniously in charge, and arranges a female dependents very thoughtfully, and even pulls Wang Ze to find Pei Xiu, a beautiful girl who receives Gongxi's family, and asks non-stop.

At the beginning, after Pei Xiu, a lotus-picking girl from Nanchen, followed Wang Ze to the East China Sea, she was first sent to the Pingyang County Military Academy for nearly a year of study, and then successively interned in the militia units in various parts of the East China Sea for a year or two.

Although in the past two years, when the militia units in the East China Sea were practicing, they also participated in several encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the Japanese people in the Central Mountain Range and the remnants of the Ezo people, and achieved a lot of success, but now the total number of Japanese and Ezo remnants in the East China Sea is less than 100,000.

These remnant tribes have long been afraid of encirclement and suppression, and because of the decrease in the number of people and the gradually stronger survival ability exercised in the mountains and forests, the militia who went to participate in the encirclement and suppression gained less and less, even if Pei Xiu, who had won several combat exploits, actually did not have such a good record as in the past when he was encircled and suppressed.

In addition to these, because the East China Sea has not been at war with other countries in recent years, the girl has not made any achievements, so the eyebrows are quite tight, but the girl is quite knowledgeable after all, and she is neither humble nor arrogant for the Gongxi clan, and her words are very much in line with the mind of the Gongxi clan.

Looking at the beautiful and elegant girl in front of her, the more Gongxi looked at Pei Xiu, the more she liked it, and when she knew Pei Xiu's life experience, she was even more pityful, and she took the girl's hands and asked for warmth, but she didn't see the unhappy expressions of Aunt Cheng and Aunt Zhu around her.

After these two aunts saw Pei Xiu's handsome appearance at first sight, they immediately became alert, especially when the two of them knew that Pei Xiu was still Wang Ze's relatives, they were even more upset, and now seeing that Pei Xiu was so loved by the Gongxi clan, their hearts became more and more worried.

Fortunately, at this time, Wang Ze's second brother Wang Hui and third brother Wang Yu came back from playing outside, and the two little guys just came back and there was a lot of noise, which diverted Gongxi Wen's attention in time, otherwise I don't know when this scene will have to wait, so that Aunt Cheng and Aunt Zhu can breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, Pei Xiu will be liberated.

Since Wang Ze, Zhu Qingqing, and Cheng Xueyan's family and parents have arrived, the marriage of Wang Ze has been put on the agenda, and then Liu Xin raised a question, that is, Wang Ze has not yet reached the age of 20, so he has not yet performed the crown ceremony.

In ancient times, young men and women were very particular about getting married, and according to the weekly rites, it was generally when the woman reached the age of 15 and the man reached the age of 20, which meant that they could start a family and act on behalf of their entire family.

Because Wang Ze is only seventeen years old this year, he has not yet reached the standard of twenty years old, but it doesn't matter, in ancient times, there was a saying that 'the Son of Heaven was twelve crowns', and this condition also applies to the princes, saying that under special circumstances, the Son of Heaven or the princes can advance to the age of twelve to perform the crown salute, and King Wen of Zhou was such an example.

Although I admire the literati for always finding a suitable reason for all kinds of practices, Wang Ze can finally be a real adult, under the auspices of Wang Yong and Gongxi Wenyi, Wang Ze and his iron buddies Zhu Bofu and Cheng Hu held a coming-of-age ceremony together.

Because Wang Yong's belly had less ink after all, after consulting Liu Xin and Yang Ku the night in advance, and after discussing with Cheng Chong and Zhu Rui, he finally took their respective words for Wang Ze's brothers.

But when Wang Ze heard his own words, he almost wanted to complain, compared to Zhu Bofu's 'Xuan Ce' and Cheng Hu's 'Ruijun', Wang Ze actually got the word 'Runzhi'.

Isn't this the word ***? Unexpectedly, he was pressed on his head again, Wang Ze secretly complained in his heart, do I have to be called Wang Desheng in the future? But forget it, it's my dad who got it, so let's call it!
