On the way back to Alan Village, Li Yang asked Li Song in a whisper: Second brother, I heard my father-in-law say just now that it was rude to go with us

Li Song: "Oh" The boss is like this, when the boss picks up the bride on the wedding day, the sister-in-law is a member of our Li family, and the parents-in-law should not follow the greeting team to the Li family manor, and you accompany the sister-in-law to look back at your mother's house on the third or fifth day after the wedding of the boss and sister-in-law

Li Yang: "Oh", it turns out that this is what happened

After returning to the manor, Li Yang helped Song Shiting down from the sedan chair, tied their hands together with a red rope and came to the main room, and Song Jiaping and Wang Ruofang also followed behind

The mother got up from the chair and said to Song Jiaping very enthusiastically: My father-in-law and mother-in-law, please take a seat, Alan Village and Luolun Village will be a family in the future

Song Jiaping said with an easy-going face: What the in-laws said is right

The mother took Wang Ruofang's hand and welcomed Song Jiaping to the master's seat and sat down: Mother-in-law, it's great that you can come, you two can rest assured that the Li family will not let Song Shiting suffer the slightest grievance, if that kid makes a mistake one day, he will not be the first to spare her

Song Jiaping looked at the smile of relief on his mother's face and nodded: With your words, our husband and wife will be relieved, my ignorant girl has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child, and I hope you will forgive me if there is anything inconsiderate

The mother smiled and shook her hand: You are too modest, in-laws, from the first time I saw Song Shiting's old body, I liked this child in my heart

Seeing this scene in front of her, Wang Ruofang, who is usually used to being majestic at home, felt a little embarrassed, although the two families are now in-laws, but after all, when we arrived at the Li family, we and the two of us belonged to the guests, I didn't expect Mrs. Li to welcome the two of us to the master's seat and sit down, from the eyes of Mrs. Li, it can be seen that she really likes Song Shiting's child

The second uncle Li Jingming and the third uncle Li Jingfu sat on the first chair on both sides, while Li Song-Li Long-Da Niu-Gao Yuankui and others sat on both sides

Li Song got up and saluted: The auspicious time has arrived

The second uncle got up from the chair and walked to the door and shouted: Worship heaven and earth

Li Yang and Song Shiting walked to the door and knelt down to the heavens and earth, and Li Yang carefully helped Song Shiting up from the ground

The second uncle walked to the main seat and shouted: Second worship the high hall

Li Yang and Song Shiting walked to their mother-in-law and father-in-law and mother-in-law, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, Xiaozhou and Xiaozhuang sisters held a wooden plate with a few cups of tea in both hands, and the sisters handed the teacup to the husband and wife with a mischievous smile

Li Yang and Song Shiting took the teacup and said to their mother and father-in-law: Dad-mother, please drink tea

The mother and father-in-law and mother-in-law had a relieved smile on their faces: Good boy

The mother took out a small cloth bag from her sleeve, and carefully opened the cloth layer by layer with both hands, inside was a turquoise jade bracelet full of brilliance, and the mother pulled Song Shiting's hand over and brought the bracelet to her: Child, this is a family heirloom, and my mother will hand it over to you today, I hope you can be safe

Song Shiting liked this bracelet very much and looked at her mother gently: Thank you, mother

The husband and wife picked up the teacup and handed it to the second and third uncles: the second uncle and the third uncle, please use tea

The second and third uncles nodded with satisfaction and took the teacup: Okay-good

Finally, the husband and wife brought the teacup to the brothers: brothers, please drink tea

Li Song and the others took the teacup according to Yiyi

The second uncle shouted: Husband and wife worship each other

Li Yang and Song Shiting bowed in front of everyone

The second uncle shouted outside: Licheng has a banquet

The people in the courtyard shouted in unison: Okay

The maids and the family brought up the dishes one by one, stir-fried lamb tripe - roast duck - braised carp - Panlong vegetable - mapo tofu - spicy chicken - Dongpo elbow - jar meat - jade shrimp - Buddha jumping over the wall - sweet and sour pork ribs - husband and wife lung slices, the villagers and soldiers who came to attend the wedding were going to drool down, more than 400 tables were placed inside and outside the courtyard, and Li Song asked people to distribute candy and fruits

Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zhuang sisters helped Song Shiting to the main table and sat down

Li Song handed over a bowl of wine and whispered to Li Yang: Boss, this is not wine in the bowl, it is water, you should pretend to be a little bit when you drink it

Li Yang looked at Li Song with gratitude, he is still his own brother, I didn't drink very well, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get up for a few days if I toast the wine in today's circle, so I took the wine bowl with both hands and shouted to everyone: Thank you for coming to my wedding with my wife today, I will do it first as a respect, you let go of eating and drinking, and today the wine and meat are enough

After speaking, he drank the water with a "goo dong-goo dong" and said with an "ah" sound, his eyes were furrowed, and he frowned: Tell Gao Yuan and Yuan Kui and others that you will have a few more drinks with you for me

Gao Yuan, Yuan Kui and the others nodded, took the wine jar and wine bowl, and went to drink with everyone

As soon as Li Yang sat down, he heard someone shouting: Congratulations to Brother Li and sister-in-law on their wedding

Li Yang saw that Han Juzheng walked in with a few family members, they were holding a few silk horses and some gift boxes in their hands, Li Yang got up and greeted him

Han Juzheng said a little unhappily: Brother Li, you didn't even tell me about your sister-in-law's wedding, you obviously don't look down on me

Li Yang looked at Han Juzheng with an apologetic face: This matter is indeed my negligence, for my brother, I am here to make amends for you

Han Juzheng smiled "hehe": Brother Li is joking with you, don't mind, these are all high-grade silk to make a few clothes for Brother Li and his sister-in-law to wear

Li Yang smiled and said: I am already very happy that you can come today

After speaking, he raised his hand and put it on Han Juzheng's back and led him to the main table

As soon as Han Juzheng saw Song Jiaping and Wang Ruofang, he gave a salute: The nephew has seen his uncle and aunt

Song Jiaping and his wife smiled and nodded, raised their hands and signaled Han Juzheng not to stand, hurry up and sit down

Song Jiaping asked Han Juzheng lightly: I haven't seen your father for a while, why didn't he come

Han Juzheng looked respectful: My father has been suffering from a cold recently, and he hasn't been out of the house for several days

Song Jiaping thought to himself when he heard this, I think you just can't let go of your old face

Li Yang sat down and respectfully said to his father-in-law and mother-in-law: Father-mother, don't worry, I will treat Song Shiting well and never let her suffer the slightest grievance

Song Jiaping nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, recalling that he was half dead by this kid in Taizhou Mansion, and later proposed to make a certain agreement with him, that is, he can only come to marry the little girl when he can become a lord in the future, in the past, my wife and I didn't look down on him in our hearts, but when I saw that everyone was talking and laughing, they got along very well, and there was a helpless wry smile on their faces.

After a few rounds of drinking, Han Juzheng looked at Li Yang with some embarrassment: Brother Li, I have something I want to discuss with you

Li Yang looked at Han Juzheng with some confusion when he heard this: Tell me what you are talking about

Han Juzheng suddenly became serious: Brother Li, I have nothing to do at home all day, since the national war, I think that my former self is really wasted, I want to implore Brother Li to let me have an errand in your camp

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yang said: Ju Zheng will wronged you to make an arsenal, responsible for recording the number of ordnance and equipment, and replacing the unusable ordnance in time, and the salary will be counted as a silver coin a month according to the official army

Han Juzheng agreed without saying a word, and suddenly he remembered something: Brother Li asked me to inquire about it a few days ago, and I have already inquired about a blacksmith shop in Taizhou City to sell

When Li Yang heard this, he said: "It's so hard for you to go with me tomorrow."

Song Jiaping looked at Li Yang with some confusion when he heard this: Why do you still want to open a blacksmith shop

Li Yang said respectfully: Yes, Dad, in the future, more and more people in Alan Village will have to replace farm tools, and forging ordnance will cost a lot of money and silver, so my son-in-law I want to open my own forging workshop, which can also save a lot of silver

When Song Jiaping heard this, he suddenly realized, yes, I have 3-4 mines and mountains, why didn't I think of opening a blacksmith shop before

Li Song was on the side: The boss not only has to open a blacksmith shop but also a brick workshop, and the bricks will be burned in more than ten days

Song Jiaping and Han Juzheng were extremely surprised when they heard this, how much silver would it cost if they were all replaced with blue bricks and tiles, if this matter was put in the past, they would think that the Li family was a bit exaggerated, but now they actually want to forge ordnance and burn bricks by themselves, I didn't expect this Li family to have such a strong foundation

In the afternoon, the happy villagers and soldiers left the manor one by one after they were full of wine and food, and Song Jiaping looked up at the sky: It's not too early, and your mother-in-law and I will go back first

Li Yang staggered and got up a little drunk: Daddy, why don't you stay in the manor for one night today, and tomorrow the child will send you two back

Song Jiaping shook his hand: No need, Luolun Village is not far from here, I and your mother-in-law can just walk back by ourselves

On the way back to Luolun Village, Wang Ruofang said to Song Jiaping: Old man, it seems that our son-in-law has some means

Song Jiaping: "Oh": How do you say this?

Wang Ruofang said softly: Old man, look at how long it has been, the current Alan Village is not what it used to be, the two patriarchs of the Gao family of Geshe Village and the Yuan family of Getu Village are following him with all their hearts, and now even Han Wenshan's son is also mixed with them, and now there are 800 soldiers under his command who are responsible for the security of this radius of dozens of miles

Song Jiaping smiled slightly: Madam, our son-in-law is a very ambitious person, not to mention that he wants to build Alan Village, just say that he wants to buy a blacksmith shop and say anything about forging farming tools, that is all nonsense forging ordnance is his original intention, once he has ordnance, then he can arm as many soldiers as he wants, he will not be willing to be confined to a small guerrilla

Wang Ruofang was a little panicked when she heard this: Old man, then you said that Li Yang married a girl, would you be fighting our family's idea of mines

Song Jiaping heard a "hum": The idea of the Song family is also what he wants to fight, if he treats the girl sincerely, wait for you and me to be a hundred years later, these family businesses are theirs, but if he loses the girl one day in the future, I will not leave this family business to him even if I bring it into the coffin

Wang Ruofang heard "Bah-Bah-Bah": Don't say such unlucky things on the girl's wedding day

Song Jiaping raised his hand and gently pumped his mouth when he heard this: What Madam said is, look at my mouth open

Wang Ruofang gently slapped Song Jiaping with her hand, and the two of them smiled and helped each other towards Luolun Village

After seeing the longitudinal person leave, Li Yang returned to his room and saw Song Shiting sitting on the bed with a red hijab on her head, so she slowly stretched out her hands to uncover the red hijab, Song Shiting shrank back a little nervously, and her two hands were tightly clasped together

At the moment when the hijab was uncovered, Li Yang was completely shocked by Song Shiting's fairy-like appearance, which was also too beautiful that night。。。。。。

The next day, Li Yang felt that his shoulder was very sore, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was already dawn and Song Shiting was pillowing on his shoulder, no wonder the shoulder hurt so much, it turned out to be your pillow, so he raised his hand and scraped her nose

Song Shiting turned over and continued to sleep soundly, Li Yang looked at "Yo he" I didn't expect you to be a little worm, after getting dressed, Li Yang walked out of the room, Xiaozhou and Xiaozhuang sisters covered their mouths with their hands and kept laughing

Li Yang looked at the two sisters: The young lady will be taken care of by the two of you

Xiao Zhuang smiled: Young master, don't worry

Li Yang looked around and shouted: Jiang Yu-Jiang Yu

With a "whoosh" Jiang Yu jumped down from the roof, startling Li Yang: Big brother, next time, if you jump out from somewhere else, please shout first, do you know that people are scary and scared to death

Jiang Yu looked at Li Yang with a serious face: Your courage is too small

Li Yang looked around: Jiang Yu, you go to Taizhou City with me, why didn't I see them in Guanshan

Jiang Yu said softly: He and Li Songtian went to the brick kiln before dawn, and Li Long and they also went out to patrol with people

Li Yang and Jiang Yu came to the door of Han's house in Taizhou City, Li Yang reached out and grabbed the door knocker and buckled the door, and a voice came from inside: Who

Li Yang said softly: The Li family in Alan Village came to look for your son-in-law, and I made an agreement with him yesterday

As soon as the words fell, there was a "coming-coming" and "crunching" sound inside, the door opened, and Han Juzheng ran out with a large cake in his mouth: Brother Li, let's go, I'll take you to the blacksmith shop

The three of them walked into a small road and crossed a street to the door of the blacksmith shop, there was a sound of "bell-clang-ding-ding" striking iron, there was a diamond-shaped wooden sign with an iron word written in front of the door, and a rectangular wooden sign "Ma's Blacksmith Shop" was hung below, and there were about 20 burly men working here as soon as they entered the door, two craftsmen pulled the red-hot iron out of the furnace, and the others swung their hammers and smashed them into a piece of pig iron, and there were forged farm tools and swords hanging around

Han Juzheng shouted: Ma San, come out quickly

Ma San looked back: Yo Han, Young Master, why are you here

Han Juzheng looked at Ma San: I heard that your blacksmith shop is going to be sold, and it just so happens that this brother of mine intends to buy a blacksmith shop

Ma San sighed lightly: To be honest, I am really a little reluctant to this blacksmith shop, although the scale is not large, but I built it brick by brick, and it is also my hard work for more than ten years, if you buy it sincerely, give 4,000 silver coins

Li Yang looked at Ma San: What can you forge here?

Ma San said a little proudly: This son is not Ma San's big loss, don't underestimate my blacksmith shop, as long as you can tell me, I can forge all kinds of farm tools here, medium to all kinds of ordnance knives-swords-spears-armor-horse armor, as high as gold and silver jewelry to jade and gold, I these craftsmen are also among the best crafts

Li Yang listened to it cheerfully: 4,000 silver coins will be 4,000 silver coins, I won't bargain with you, tomorrow I will bring the silver to you to prepare the deed

Ma San looked at Li Yang and asked softly: Childe, I don't know if you will use these craftsmen in the future

Li Yang looked at Ma San: Of course you have to use it

Ma San waved his hand and motioned for the craftsman to come over and shouted: In the future, this son will be your new owner

Ma San pointed at an old man and said to Li Yang: His name is Ouyang Xiu, and he is the master with the best forging skills here, and most of the other craftsmen are his apprentices

Li Yang looked at Ma San: I don't know how much the wages of these craftsmen are

Ma San said softly: These craftsmen are all one silver coin a month, and Ouyang Xiu is one and a half silver coins a month

Li Yang nodded and looked at the craftsmen: You people will have one and a half silver coins a month in the future, and Ouyang Xiu's seniors will have two silver coins a month

The craftsmen smiled and said, "Thank you."

Li Yang looked at Han Juzheng: This time I have you to thank you

Han Juzheng smiled: Brother Li, what you said is out of sight, if there is anything I can help with, you can manage it

Li Yang looked at Han Juzheng: I have to go to the government office today, so I will leave first

Han Juzheng nodded: Okay, Brother Li will be waiting for you at the blacksmith shop tomorrow

After separating from Han Juzheng, Li Yang and Jiang Yu came to the Taizhou Mansion to ask to see Sun Yuanwu, and the official led the two into the hall room, and Sun Yuanwu held a brush in his hand and mentioned a poem on a blank piece of paper

Li Yang hugged his hands and gave a salute: His subordinates have seen Master Sun

Sun Yuanwu didn't make a sound, but waved his hand to signal Li Yang to sit down, and after a while, Sun Yuanwu put away the brush and let out a satisfied smile: Ah-you are here, say it, if you encounter any difficulties, you want to help the house

Li Yang stood up respectfully: Your Excellency's subordinates would like to implore you to allocate some ordnance to your subordinates, what your subordinates lack most now is bows and arrows

Sun Yuanwu smiled slightly and pointed at Li Yang with his finger: You-you, the government will first allocate you 300 bows, 2,000 arrows, 100 knives, and 200 spears, all of which are congratulatory gifts from the government

When Li Yang heard this, he hurriedly saluted again: His subordinates have thanked the adults

Sun Yuanwu waved his hand: Come on, take him to the arsenal to get these ordnance

Li Yang and Jiang Yu went to the arsenal to collect the ordnance and hired five carriages to transport these things to Alan Village

In the dense forest of Maple Ridge, 50 miles north of Dianke Village, there is a cottage built next to the mountain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and more than a dozen bandit leaders gathered in the cottage hall are deliberating

A bandit leader: It's time for the brothers of the banner boss to go down the mountain to carry out activities

Hengqi sat on a wooden chair and held his head with a pestle: "Leader Zeno, this time you will lead 500 people to Dian Ke Village and Tuman Village

Ze Nuo said with some pride: Now that the main force of the Zhejiang army is all on the border of Fuguo, the big boss will simply sweep away all the villages near here this time

A bandit leader got up: According to the spies, a group of officers and soldiers have come to patrol these villages under the mountain every day, about 200 people, I think we are still waiting

Zeno slapped the table and raised his hand to point at the leader: Kang Ze, your courage is too small, this time our clan will go down the mountain to see me get the heads of the 200 people back for you

Heng Qi looked at the other female bandit leader: Hengyan, what do you think

Speaking of this Hengyan, she is the sister of the maple leader and the bandit Hengqi, according to legend, this female martial arts is very strong, can take the head of the general in the thousands of troops, although she is a daughter, she was born with strange strength since she was a child, she can easily lift a hundred-pound board axe with one hand, and is good at strategy and marching combat

Heng Yan said softly: Brother, it is better to send some people down the mountain to explore the truth first, if this group of officers and troops is really vulnerable, we will go out and attack Taizhou to seize all the northern villages

Hengqi nodded: "Okay, Zenuo will let you take 500 people down the mountain to find out the truth

Zeno got up and slapped his chest; Boss, just wait and see
