Zhu Ming played in Shangbai Village for two days, paid 120 yuan in advance, and ordered a lot of grain from the Bai family.

Next, it's Dad's wedding.

said that there were only a few tables, and the villagers came to ask, and finally they simply made thirty-six tables.

Although it was not as rich as the old lady Bai's birthday, he still had to get some wine and meat, so he had to ask Bai Zongwang for help.

Shen Yourong's parents, two brothers and sisters-in-law all came to eat and drink, and even sent people to the magistrate to give gifts. And he was very generous, and he gave 20 yuan in gifts to the county, and he also wrote a poem with Professor Qian.

The wedding link was saved, and the silkworm room was packed up as a wedding room.

All you need to do is take the bride out of the bedroom, and after the ceremony is completed, she will be sent to the wedding room.

The surrounding villagers all came to see the excitement, and a bunch of people gathered in the courtyard, laughing and chatting and waiting for the auspicious time.

Bai Dalang was invited to be the master of ceremonies, but he liked this errand very much, so he changed into a silk coat and dressed more magnificently than the groom's official.

Zhu Ming stood beside his father and asked with a smile, "Dean Zhu, are you nervous?" ”

"What am I nervous about?" Zhu Guoxiang's face was full of red light, and he was also wearing red clothes, which were specially sewn by going into the city to tear red cloth.

"The auspicious time has come!"

Bai Siyi opened his throat and shouted.

The courtyard was blowing and playing, and the musicians were also nearby villagers, and they were asked to accompany them for red and white ceremonies.

Hearing the music, Mrs. Yan helped her daughter-in-law out.

Shen Yourong was wearing a green wedding dress, which matched Dean Zhu's red clothes. Red men and green women, traditional colors.

Zhu Guoxiang stepped forward and pulled the bride and slowly walked to the hall.

At dusk, the newlyweds pay their respects.

This is a ritual that only emerged in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is not called a worship hall. The chapel is the fifth watch of the second day of the wedding, and the bride goes to meet the elders of the man's family.

"Bride's Prayer!"

Under the crowd watching, Bai Dalang roared, and Shen Yourong bowed to Zhu Guoxiang.

"The groom returns the favor!"

Zhu Guoxiang smiled and stood up, and then bowed down.

During the whole process, the woman bows first, the man returns the salute, and the woman returns the salute. Then the woman bows again, the man returns the salute, and the woman salutes back.

Zhu Ming counted carefully, the bride had to bow four times, and the groom only bowed twice. It's obviously unfair, and it's going to be punched in the Hereafter.

As for worshipping heaven and earth and worshipping the high hall, there is no such statement for the time being.

"Licheng, send it to the cave room!"

The bride and groom drank the wine.

The villagers also gradually dispersed, because in the small courtyard, there were no more than 36 tables, and the banquet was set up in several places in the village.

It was six o'clock in the evening, and the summer days were long, and it was still early before dark.

Zhu Ming found an excuse to go to the thatched house to smoke, swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog for a while, listened to the sound of fists in the yard, and suddenly felt that the world was not very real.

inexplicably crossed, and my father married my stepmother.

A sense of loneliness arises spontaneously.

It's a spiritual loneliness, and he doesn't seem to have fully integrated into his new life. Of course, I don't think much about it when I'm busy, but there are always times when I can't help but feel alienated.

Perhaps, when you have a wife and children, you can really settle down.

"Da Lang, come and drink!" Bai Chongwen stood in the corner of the courtyard and shouted in the direction of the toilet.

"It's coming!"

Zhu Ming returned to the courtyard, and in addition to Mrs. Yan, the main table also included Shen Yourong's mother's family, as well as Bai Zongwang's father and son.

Shen Yourong's father is called Shen Huai, although the old gentleman is dazzled and deaf, the amount of alcohol is not bad: "Da Lang, you are a scholar of the Eight Elements, the old man should give you a drink!" ”

"Don't dare to be." It's just rice wine, and Zhu Ming doesn't refuse to come.

Shen Huai was extremely happy about his daughter's remarriage, and he also liked this son-in-law and cheap grandson: "I read the poems written by Da Lang, and I was immediately shocked, as if the Su Zi was reborn...... Don't say anything else today, Da Lang drinks! ”

Bai Zongwang echoed: "Da Lang's article, Lu Tixue is also highly praised, and he has recommended Da Lang to go to Tokyo to study Taixue. ”

Shen Huai laughed heartily: "In time, he will be an important minister!" ”

"Where, where." Zhu Ming said modestly.

Bai Zongwang flattered and said: "Zhu Xianggong is also an ordinary person, if he has this good son-in-law, he will wait for his good brother to enjoy the blessings." ”

Mr. Shen listened more happily, drank vigorously, and held Zhu Ming's hand from time to time to speak, as if he regarded Zhu Ming as his own grandson.

After a few glasses of wine here, Lao Gu at the next table also brought his son Gu Shusheng to toast: "Zhu Dutou, thank you for taking care of the dog, I have a toast here!" ”

"Well said." Zhu Ming drank it all.

Uncle Gu said: "I also respect the first cup of Gu San!" ”

Toasted one after another, Zhu Ming was a little dizzy and looked up at the sky in a daze.

The sky was still white, the moon had risen, and there was a star beside it.

After drinking for a while, Zhu Guoxiang suddenly came out to entertain the guests.

Everyone was stunned, then became more lively, and immediately changed their goals, and they all caught Zhu Guoxiang pouring wine.

Zhu Ming was finally able to take a break.

After a toast in his own yard, Zhu Guoxiang went to another yard. Back and forth, it was almost dark, and Zhu Ming had to help light the way with lanterns.

"Dean Zhu, if you drink like this, I'm afraid you won't have the strength at night." Zhu Ming joked that he had woken up a lot.

Zhu Guoxiang was a little drunk, and said with a smile: "Happy today." ”

Zhu Ming ran the train with his mouth full: "I will give you a concubine another day to ensure that you are happier." ”

Zhu Guoxiang said: "One wife is enough, what kind of concubine?" ”

"It's a pity." Zhu Ming sighed.

"What a pity?" Zhu Guoxiang asked.

Zhu Ming teased: "It's a pity that the phone is out of battery, so I can't record your words, and then take them out and slap your face when you take a concubine." ”

"Fuck off!"

Zhu Guoxiang kicked it away, how could anyone say this on their wedding day.

"Okay." Zhu Ming immediately got out.

Zhu Guoxiang shouted again: "Come back to help light the way, I'm afraid of falling if I drink too much!" ”

Zhu Ming staggered, standing in front with a hippie smile: "You come here, I'll wait." ”

Zhu Guoxiang entered the role of the old father again, hooked up with his son, and said earnestly: "You should also start a family." Bai Zongwang originally wanted to be a matchmaker for you, but later gave up, he felt that you had great ambitions, and he would definitely not look down on the girls in the village. Why don't you let Xiang Zhixian help you connect and marry a rich daughter in the county? ”

Zhu Ming roared, patted his chest and said: "After a while, if we want to marry, we will marry the princess!" ”

"You just brag." Zhu Guoxiang said happily.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the banquet finally dispersed, and the guests helped to clean up the tables, stools and chopsticks.

Zhu Guoxiang was so drunk that he was unconscious, and was thrown by his son to lie in the cave room.

As for Shen Yourong's mother's family, there is really nowhere to sleep here, so they can only borrow the guest room of the old white man's house.

"It's a great job."

Looking at her husband who was sleeping heavily, Shen Yourong was really speechless.

Zhu Ming smiled: "It's not hard, you can rest first." ”

Shen Yourong sent him out of the house, and Zhu Ming sat in the courtyard, blowing the night breeze to watch the stars and sober up.

Bai Qi suddenly ran out, squatted down to look at the stars together, and looked a little lonely: "Brother Zhu, I heard my grandmother say that your father and my mother are married, your father is my father, and they will have another brother." ”

Zhu Ming laughed: "Isn't it good to have a younger brother?" I'm telling you, two or three-year-olds are the most fun, you can make him laugh and cry. ”

"Why do I want to make my brother cry?" Bai Qi was puzzled.

"It's funny." Zhu Ming said.

Bai Qi scratched his head: "But grandmother said that I should protect my younger brother." ”

Alas, there is no common language.

"Vomit ......"

There was a sound of vomiting in the wedding room, and then Shen Yourong ran to the kitchen to fetch water, it seemed that he didn't want to listen to the corner tonight.

Zhu Ming asked, "What do you want to do when you grow up?" ”

Bai Qi replied without thinking: "Study hard and take the imperial examination to become an official." ”

"I have no ambition, I will make you the prince in the future." Zhu Ming opened his mouth.

Bai Qi tilted his head and asked, "What is the prince?" ”

Zhu Ming didn't bother to explain: "I'll know when you grow up." ”

After a while, Bai Qi said again: "I used to sleep with my mother, but tonight my mother is not here, I sleep with Brother Zhu." ”

"Are you wetting the bed?" Zhu Ming was vigilant.

Bai Qi said: "I didn't pee last year. ”

"Okay, big brother will take you to bed!" Zhu Ming smiled and picked up the little fart with one hand.

Undressed and went to bed, Bai Qi didn't sleep with his mother for the first time, and the whole person seemed more excited.

After lying down, he didn't close his eyes honestly, lay down beside Zhu Ming and said, "Big brother, let's talk about Sun Wukong again, I haven't heard you tell a story for a long time." ”

"Okay, I'll talk about three dozen white bone spirits today."

Listening to the story, Bai Qi was very happy and hugged Zhu Ming's arm to sleep.

Grandmother and mother are strict in discipline, Zhu Guoxiang occasionally reprimands, only this eldest brother never scolds, and he also tells a lot of good stories.

After a while, Bai Qi fell asleep.

Zhu Ming couldn't sleep a little, whenever he felt lonely, he would think about how to rebel in the future.

Xixiang County will definitely be taken first.

When you have to go to the Golden Gorge for yourself, I heard that the waterway of the Han River there is the most dangerous. In the future, troops will be dispatched from Xixiang County, passing through the Golden Gorge, taking a boat to the north, and taking Yangzhou.

He inquired about the situation from Zhang Guangdao, and set off from Yangzhou to the west, which was Xingyuan Mansion (Hanzhong).

If you go northeast from Yangzhou, it is the famous Meridian Valley, which can lead directly to Chang'an!

Having taken control of Xingyuan Mansion, Lizhou (Guangyuan) must be taken.

If you take Lizhou, you will be able to control the middle of the Echuan River, and most of the main roads out of the Sichuan will be blocked by him.

The east side of Xixiang County will definitely be defeated. Shiquan, Hanyin, Jinzhou (Ankang), take Jinzhou, you can control the waterway of the Erhan River.

When the time comes, should we hit Chang'an first, or Chengdu first?

Thinking about it, I fell asleep.

"Big brother, it's time to get up!"

Zhu Ming opened his eyes in a daze, and found that Bai Qi was already dressed, he yawned and said, "Don't make trouble, go play by yourself." ”

After grinding for a long time, when Zhu Ming went out to wash, the Shen family had already come over from the old white man's house.

Shen Yourong was busy, the smile on his face never dispersed, and he completely entered the state of a newlywed wife.

Breakfast was leftovers from last night, and after eating some, Zhu Ming said goodbye and went back to the cottage.

He had to write "Journey to the West" and send it to Zheng Fatzi, after all, he still wanted to prostitute three weapons for nothing. If you can't get any money, you can use it to offset it.

In addition, the autumn harvest is about to begin, and you have to keep an eye on it in Daming Village.

Zhu Guoxiang sent his son to the riverside: "Be careful over there, when you collect grain, don't make any more trouble." ”

"Don't worry, my taxes are not high," Zhu Ming said, "After the autumn harvest, you go to the stockade for a few days, and I plan to walk around and familiarize myself with the surrounding geography." Now I only know a rough idea, and the details are blacked out, and it will take a year or two to thoroughly understand the geography and topography of the Hanzhong Basin. ”

Zhu Guoxiang couldn't cry or laugh: "You are really planning to prepare for a rebellion." ”

Zhu Ming said: "I don't like the Song family, and I don't like the Jin Kingdom, I can only be happy when I destroy them all." ”

Zhu Guoxiang patted his son on the shoulder and didn't speak again.
