Chapter 992: Tighten the bonds of allies
On the day of marriage, Abbey wore a red wedding dress and sat in a sedan chair.
Jiaxi was also dressed in a red wedding robe, riding a white horse, and took Abbe all the way from the post house to his home.
Along the way, countless idlers gathered to watch the excitement, and even children clapped their hands and shouted.
The Li family was not stingy, and threw two baskets of copper coins and countless cakes and sweets, which provoked more people to come over and crowd them out.
Fortunately, Jiayi and Liu Yang brought a group of soldiers, shouting to help open the way and protect the team, but it was also smooth.
The Li family has never been stingy in the banquet, and the dishes that have been renovated can be said to be full of color, flavor and flavor that the whole Quanzhou City knows.
And every time there is innovation, there will be surprising and favorite dishes.
This time, Tao Hongying pondered for more than a month, and dedicated the finale of the recipe, Buddha jumping over the wall.
Last night, the stove was set up in the corner of the stove courtyard, and the half-man-high clay pot was put on the shelf, and it was simmered on a low fire, and when the bride welcomed the door, the fragrance had drifted so that the whole street could smell it.
So much so that during the visit, Jiaxi could clearly hear the gurgling sound of Abbey's stomach.
He tried his best to hold back his laughter, sent his daughter-in-law into the room, and hurried to find Wen Juan, "Sister-in-law, hurry up and give your brother and sister Zhang Luo some food, otherwise she will become the first hungry bride in Tianwu!" ”
Wen Juan laughed badly, urging Jiaxi to go to the front to toast, and she took the maid and went to get a bowl of Buddha jumping over the wall in person, with rice and two refreshing side dishes for Abbey.
Abbey had just taken off her hair crown, and when she saw Wen Juan like this, she hugged her happily.
"Sister-in-law, you saved my life!"
The maids couldn't help laughing, and the new house was full of joy.
And today's guests of Daohe, because they focused on food, did not have any intention of pouring the groom, so that Jiaxi escaped the "catastrophe".
After a full meal and drink, the guests were leaving.
The Li family also prepared an additional gift of thanks, and the male guests were two bottles of fruit wine per person, which was brewed from a kind of fruit unique to the Golden Buddha Country, with a pleasant taste and a slight drunkenness, especially suitable for drinking.
The female guests are a pair of sachets, brocade as the base, embroidered with the unique pattern of the Golden Buddha, loaded with a kind of dried flowers of the Golden Buddha, cold and fragrant, refreshing, and very comfortable to smell in summer.
And they all took it with joy, and went home satisfied.
Everyone in the Li family is tired and turns on their backs, but they are more at ease.
Especially Mrs. Li, her children and grandchildren have started families one after another, and the burden on her shoulders as a patriarch is getting lighter and lighter.
The Golden Buddha is too far away, and the saying of returning to the door in three days is gone.
But on this day, Zhao Yuru personally took her daughter-in-law to the street and bought her a lot of things she likes to eat and play, which can be regarded as comfort.
Abbey was moved to tears, hugging her mother-in-law and shouting that she wanted to be in the Li family for the rest of her life.
She is intelligent by nature, and she is more decisive and strong than ordinary women, otherwise she would not be able to sit in the position of Queen of the Golden Buddha.
But in the final analysis, she has today, and most of it is forced by the situation.
Her father is sick and weak, her younger brother is young, and the family is eyeing her, she can't kill the throne, and none of them can survive.
If she was born in the Li family, someone loves and protects her, and there will be no Queen of the Golden Buddha in the world.
In the two months since she came to Tianwu, she has been the granddaughter-in-law of the Li family, and she has almost forgotten her identity.
It's a pity that in the Golden Buddha, she still has too many responsibilities to take on and can't escape.
After living for another half a month, Jiaxi took the things prepared by the family, loaded seven or eight big boats, and followed Abbey back to the Golden Buddha.
Even if Mrs. Li and the others were reluctant, they knew that Jiaxi was a kid and was used to going in and out of the sea, so they soon didn't worry about it.
However, the boss sent by Jia'an and the imperial court began to support the Quanzhou branch of the Foreign Affairs Department.
This boss's surname is Zhu, and he is an old fritter in officialdom, steady and cautious, and he is also very good at weighing the pros and cons.
This time, he brought his family and rented a three-entry house.
Quanzhou is also considered to be far away from the emperor, and many officials in the government want to find out the news of the imperial court through Lord Zhu.
But the gate of Zhu's house was closed, except for Lord Zhu, who went on an errand in the morning and evening, the rest of the family members did not see guests at all.
The officials of the government said privately that Lord Zhu was not sympathetic.
However, after Li Zhensheng heard about it, he deliberately found a family to eat together in his own restaurant, and when he talked about it, he instructed, "This Lord Zhu is a smart person, he is so scruptuous, he doesn't want to steal your limelight."
"Although he is your boss, our family has already gained a foothold in Quanzhou, and he is unwilling to make enemies with our family."
Jia An nodded and responded, "Uncle is right, I feel it too." In the past few days, as long as I mentioned the errand, Lord Zhu has never objected. He also often said that I was young and had a lot of ideas, and asked me to do more and more. ”
"Silly boy," Li Zhensheng sandwiched a piece of steamed fish for his nephew and said with a smile, "He is your boss, and after your errand is done, he will also follow and share half of the credit." Of course he's going to encourage you to do more!
"But that's fine, you're still young, take advantage of this opportunity to do more errands and accumulate more experience."
"Don't worry, uncle, I'm not stupid, I will ask Master Zhu for everything, let him sign, if I really make a big mistake, he won't be able to escape." You can't take all the good things, and there is no price at all. Jia An raised his hand to pour wine for the uncle, and smiled narrowly.
Li Zhen finally relieved himself, but he forgot that this nephew was also a little fox.
The family said that among the seven boys, Jiaxi was the most naughty, in fact, seriously speaking, Jiaxi is a mallet, and behind every trouble, Jia'an is making suggestions......
At the same meal, the uncle and nephew were very happy.
When they were separated, Li Zhensheng asked again, "Jia'an, about your family affairs......"
Jia An shook his head and said with a smile, "Uncle, I don't have any ideas about my future wife, as long as my grandmother and my mother like it, of course, she has to be good to my sister."
"If I can do this, I will naturally raise eyebrows with her for the rest of my life, and respect each other like a guest.
"Although my third brother is heavily used in the Hailan Army, it is not enough to tie the Tang family to our family on a rope. Therefore, it is the best choice for me to marry Miss Tang. ”
Li Zhensheng's heart was a little complicated, this sounds right, but he always feels wronged by the child.
He patted his nephew on the shoulder and replied, "Your brothers have really grown up, and they all know that they are worried about their families." ”
Jia An smiled sincerely, "Uncle is waiting for a few years, we are all brothers to grow up a little more, take over all the family affairs, and the uncle can enjoy peace of mind." ”
A flash of surprise flashed in Li Zhensheng's eyes, and he asked in a low voice, "When did you kid know?" ”
"Uncle, your nephew is now an official, and he is still in charge of the Foreign Affairs Department. Outsiders don't know the roots, so they don't pay attention. How could I not know? ”
Jia'an nodded to the southeast, and said, "Brother Xi also left with a mission, right?" Uncle can't hide it from me anymore, it's time for me to help you. ”
"Okay, I originally planned to take you out to sea in two days. I didn't expect you to find out first, stinky boy, I really underestimated you. You are the wisest of your brothers! ”
Li Zhensheng slapped his nephew twice and took him out of the door with a smile.
