The big wedding of the lord of Wanping should be prepared, no less than the princess getting married.

At the beginning, Chang Tian saved the lives of Emperor Hongzhi and his family in the elephant training center. When she gets married, Emperor Hongzhi will definitely not treat her badly.

The five steps of adoption, name asking, najib, recruitment, and invitation before the big wedding are all specially responsible for Lang Zhong sent by the Ministry of Rites.

Emperor Hongzhi also gave his sister Chang Tian a decent county lord's mansion.

Fifteen days before the wedding, Chang Feng and Huang Yuan came to the county lord's mansion and handed over the mansion with Qian Neng.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the house, Chang Feng said: "It's broken, it's violated." ”

Huang Yuan asked, "Why did you violate the system?" ”

Chang Feng pointed to the door of the house: "Look, this main gate is five rooms and seven frames." The knocker is a green brass ring. This is the regulation of the princess's mansion! ”

Qian Neng smiled: "You're right! The emperor had an edict to ask the internal officials and supervisors to choose a princess-regulated mansion for the lord of Wanping County. ”

"Just look at the main entrance, there are five rooms and seven frames, and the hall is still nine rooms and eleven frames!"

"Not only that, but the emperor also instructed the Ministry of Rites to set 1,500 stone for the lord of Wanping County."

In the Ming system, the rank of the daughters of the clan is divided into the eldest princess, the eldest princess, the princess, the county lord, the county lord, the county lord, the county monarch, and the township monarch.

The above eight classes are all old. Suilu is divided into two types: before and after marriage.

For example, before the princess's wedding, there were ten silk, ten yarn, ten Luo, thirty silk, thirty summer cloth, thirty cotton cloth, and two hundred catties of cotton.

After the wedding, in addition to the silk silk, another 1,500 stone was added.

Emperor Hongzhi's year of giving Chang Tian is also a princess regulation.

Chang Feng sighed: "The emperor is really kind to Tangtang. ”

Qian Neng said with a smile: "The emperor is the most important family affection." The emperor and the lord of Wanping have no blood relationship, but they have family affection. Not to mention that the county lord is also the hero of King Qin's rescue. ”

The three of them entered the county lord's mansion. The eunuchs in the palace, the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the miscellaneous servants are arranging the wedding utensils in full swing.

Chang Feng saw Mu Bin and Qian Ning standing in the distance.

The two walked up to Chang Feng.

Chang Feng asked: "The commander came to arrange the escort after fifteen days?" ”

Fifteen days later, Emperor Hongzhi wanted to bring Empress Zhang to the wedding site. The emperor's departure from the palace is a major event, and Jinyiwei naturally wants to send a Han general to escort him.

Mu Bin nodded: "Yes." At that time, our guard will send 500 Han generals to accompany us. ”

Chang Feng smiled: "The commander has worked hard. ”

Mu Bin sighed: "Since you have been free, I have taken care of the affairs of the South and North Divisions." It made me scorched. ”

Chang Feng smiled slyly: "I'm not idle." Every day, I go to the morning court, and when I get off the court, I go to Weili on an errand. ”

Chang Feng has indeed been idle in the past six months.

The affairs of the South and North Divisions are all in charge of Mu Bin. Whether or not there is a major case in the DPRK and China, there is no need for Changfeng to take action to handle the case.

Chang Feng is on duty, in addition to drinking tea, he is reading, and then he is chatting and farting with Xu Fatzi.

Mu Bin is more than benevolent, but not incapable. Guan Nan and Bei Si felt quite struggling.

After reading Chang Tian's future mansion, Chang Feng felt happy in his heart. My sister is doing well, and I'm happy to be my brother.

At the same time, Shouning Houfu.

The two brothers, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, are discussing how much congratulatory money to give to their sister Chang Tian.

Zhang Heling gritted his teeth: "This time I'm not going to do it!" Give the sugar girl 8,000 taels of silver! The rest of the messy congratulatory gifts will not be given. ”

"Everything is fake, only silver ingots are real!"

Zhang Yanling slapped his thigh: "Okay!" If it weren't for the sugar candy girl who stopped in front of a few giant elephants, our sister and the emperor's brother-in-law would have been trampled into meat by the giant elephants. ”

"Sugar Candy Girl is the benefactor of our Zhang family! What do literati say? Oh, Thanksgiving! ”

"She's getting married, we can't be petty!"

Eight thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. In order not to lose the face of repaying their kindness, the two uncles were ruthless.

However, with such a large sum of silver, they still felt faintly distressed.

At that moment, the delivery of silver came!

The celebrant and supervisor Bingbi Li Guang came to the two.

Li Guang has adhered to the basic policy of hugging the nervous queen's big white legs unwaveringly over the years. The civil servants had many impeachments against him, but he was unharmed.

Befriending the Zhang brothers is also one of his strategies for self-preservation.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries, sat down to drink tea and chat.

Hearing that Erzhang was going to give Chang Tian a congratulatory silver of eight thousand taels, Li Guang was dumbfounded: "The two uncles are really generous!" ”

Zhang Heling sighed: "Alas! This is also the wedding of the sugar candy girl. We gritted our teeth and pulled out eight thousand taels of silver! ”

"Eight thousand taels, enough to hold four large silver boxes!"

Li Guang praised: "The two uncles are really people who value love and righteousness." However, with such a big fortune, the two of them have to find a business to make up for the shortfall. ”

"Coincidentally, I came up with a business for the two of you to make a lot of money."

Zhang Heling's eyes lit up: "Oh? What big business? ”

Li Guang said two words: "Run to the sea." ”

Zhang Heling was a little strange: "What do you mean?" ”

Zhang Yanling couldn't cry or laugh: "Big brother, running to the sea is digging dung!" ”

Zhang Heling's face was displeased: "What? Grandpa Li, you're not here to make fun of our brothers, are you? You asked our uncle to dig up the dung? ”

Li Guang said with a smile: "Uncle Guo is a little restless, and let me take a sip of tea and talk carefully." ”

Li Guang introduced the "running to the sea" business in the capital to the Zhang brothers.

The capital has a population of 530,000. 530,000 people, rich or poor, have to pull at least one soak of every day.

In the 15th century, China was a highly developed civilization, and naturally it would not be like Europe at the same time, directly spilling feces and urine on the streets.

The royal palaces in England and France did not even have toilets. When the ball was held, the dukes, counts, and their ladies were in a hurry, and when they were in a hurry, they went straight to the fireplace or even in the hallway.

The capital has a complete ancient sewer system, namely the "Thirty-six Dung Channels".

Human manure is a good fertilizer. The dung workers took out the dung, loaded it into a car, and transported it out of the city to sell it to the landlords in exchange for real money.

It's a lucrative business.

Since there are huge profits, there are naturally vested interests.

Shuncheonfu is in charge of thirty-six dung tracts. Many ruffians and bullies in Beijing went to bribe the officials of Shuntianfu and charter one or two dung roads.

The dungways are rivers of gold and silver, making the ruffians and bullies make a lot of money.

After Li Guang finished speaking, Zhang Heling asked: "You just say how much money can you make in this business in a year, right?" ”

Li Guang replied: "I estimated it. A dung tunnel can earn at least five hundred taels of silver a year! Thirty-six is eighteen thousand taels! ”

"As the two uncles, as long as you say hello to Shuntianfu, you can wrap up thirty-six dung roads!"

"At that time, the gold and silver sea will flow into the silver treasury of the two uncles."

Zhang Yanling raised an objection: "But last year, the emperor just issued an edict ordering the emperor's relatives and relatives not to do business to compete with the people!" ”

Li Guang smiled: "You got to the point!" Digging manure is not a business, but a public welfare! It is not against the will of the emperor. ”

The second Zhang Yanling is more brainy and thoughtful than the eldest Zhang Heling.

Zhang Yanling asked: "Then why don't you see other nobles in the capital doing this business?" ”

Li Guangdao: "Because they are high. I feel that this business is pickled, and it can't be put on the table. To put it bluntly, you can't wipe your face! ”

Zhang Heling said excitedly: "Hey! Compared to real money, the face is a fart! ”

"As long as I can make money, let me stuff my face into the crotch of my pants, I'll do it!"

"Father-in-law Li, you say, how do you do this?"

Li Guang smiled: "It's actually very simple. Say hello to Shuntianfu Yin, and let those people who originally covered the dung road get out! ”

Zhang Yanling asked: "Father-in-law Li, if you introduce such a profitable business to our brothers, do you want to make some profits yourself?" ”

Li Guangdao: "Ah. I want to do business with two uncles. Follow you to learn the way of student money. ”

"The business of running to the sea has been profitable, and the two uncles have taken eighty percent of the money. I'm a small head, and two things are enough. ”

The three hit it off.

Zhang Heling said: "Okay, let's just say it!" ”

In fact, "dung tyrants" have existed since ancient times. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the biggest dung bully in Lin'an City was Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong.

Li Guang is greedy for money and loves power. But he was clever at making money. Tie yourself to the Zhang family's big boat.

With Queen Zhang's favor, the Zhang family can't be down. If the Zhang family can't fall, he Li Guang can't fall.

Let's say that ten days later, Changfu.

Liu Xiaoyan is helping Chang Tian test the county lord's wedding dress sent by the Needle Work Bureau.

Chang Feng watched from the sidelines.

After Chang Tian changed into his wedding clothes, he was simply graceful and luxurious. The slender and slender figure and handsome face are even more noble and beautiful against the backdrop of gorgeous clothes.

Chang Feng's nose is sour and he wants to cry. The little sugar candy that pestered him to pound garlic at the beginning has finally grown up and is about to get married.

Chang Tian asked, "Brother, is it good-looking?" ”

Chang Feng replied: "We are good-looking, and we look good in everything." ”

Chang Tian smiled: "I also think it looks good." If my father were still alive, he would praise this dress for its good looks. ”

My sister's words directly broke the defense of the hard-hearted butcher. His tears fell like beads of broken thread.

Liu Xiaoyan hurriedly handed over a handkerchief: "In a few days, it will be a big day." What are you crying about. ”

Chang Feng cried and whimpered, "I am. Delighted. My father and mother left early, and I depended on Tangtang for my life. ”

"I fed her a handful of and a handful of pee. Woo, it's not easy! ”

Crocodiles also have tears, let alone people.

In Chang Feng's heart, it seems that yesterday Tangtang was still that chubby, cute and greedy little girl. Today, she has become a big girl who is about to get married.

Chang Tian took off the crown: "Brother, I grew up eating garlic pig's head meat, not eating feces and urine!" ”

Chang Feng burst into tears and laughed: "Yes, yes." Brother was so happy that he said the wrong thing. ”

At this moment, Liu Jin walked in with a large box.

Liu Jin has a good relationship with Changfu. You can come in and out of the house at will, and you don't need to pass it.

Liu Jin saw Chang Tian and praised: "Tsk, my little aunt wears this, she looks like a princess more like a princess!" ”

After speaking, Liu Jin opened the box. The box is full of luxurious head jewelry.

Liu Jin said: "Little aunt, I don't have the ability to do it old nephew. has served in the palace for more than 30 years, has never been a fat man, and has not saved much money. ”

"I bought this box of head jewelry with my life savings."

"You saved my life. To put it mildly, you are what I grew up watching. ”

"Don't dislike the gifts given by the eunuchs."

Chang Tian hurriedly took over the jewelry box: "Father-in-law Liu, no, Uncle Liu, I know you are good to me." How could I dislike you? ”

"When I was a child, I followed my godfather to Jinling, and you hugged me all the way."

Chang Feng said: "Father-in-law Liu, what you mean is what you mean." Why put all your life savings on it? ”

Liu Jin also began to wipe her tears: "Alas, I can also give this snack to my little aunt." Don't dislike me. ”

Chang Feng got up: "That's it, let them be busy with women's affairs here." Grandpa Liu, let's have tea in the hall. ”

Chang Feng and Liu Jin came to the hall and chatted over tea.

Chang Feng asked: "Are you doing well in the East Factory?" ”

Liu Jin replied: "It's very pleasant." Father-in-law Qian is generous and treats me as his own family. Oh, Father-in-law Qian is naturally looking at the face of the little uncle. ”

Chang Feng asked, "What about Kunning Palace?" Li Guang didn't look for your stubble again, did he? ”

Liu Jin replied: "Well water does not interfere with river water. ”

Li Guang knows that Liu Jin is a person who is often the wind.

At the beginning, the ironclad evidence that he instructed people to frame Li Dongyang and Xie Qian was in Chang Feng's hands.

Li Guangcai will not find himself bored, and then go to rectify Liu Jin and provoke the wind.

Chang Feng said: "Well, he won't trouble you anymore, and you don't have to think about revenge anymore." ”

After all, he is the queen's favorite eunuch. It's the master of ceremonies again, it's you and my boss. ”

Liu Jin said: "What Uncle Xiao said is true. How dare I seek revenge on Gong Li! ”

But he secretly said in his heart: Wait. When I gain power, I have to cut Li Guangqian with a thousand knives!

Liu Jin asked, "Has my little uncle put up a sign in the Zongren Mansion?" ”

Chang Feng replied: "Yesterday, Huang Yuan just went to the Zongren Mansion to hang up the sign and received the official certificate of honor. ”

After chatting for a while, Liu Jin took his leave. Xu Fatzi led an uninvited guest to Changfu.

The uninvited guest was the thirty-six-year-old owner of Yihong Mansion and the head of the Miaoshou Sect, Sai Tanghong.

Chang Feng was surprised: "Master Sai, why are you here?" ”

Although Saitang Red is old, she is more beautiful and charming, and her eyes are like silk. No wonder Xu Fatzi still regards her as a sweetheart.

The two uncles of the Zhang family also regarded her as a bed fetish.

Sai Tanghong replied: "Huang Yuan is the righteous son of the old brother of Miaoshoumen. He married the county lord, so naturally I wanted to come and send a congratulatory gift. ”

"I am from the rivers and lakes, my status is low, and I can't be on the stage. On the day of the wedding, I gave a congratulatory gift, and I was afraid that I would not be able to enter the county lord's new mansion. Therefore, it will be delivered in advance. ”

Saitang is red with good intentions, but Changfeng is disrespectful.

After receiving a gift from someone else, it is natural to let the family stay for a cup of tea.

Xu Fatzi took a sip of tea and said casually: "Li Guang of Kunning Palace can really toss." The day before yesterday, I bought three Datong aunts from Yihong Mansion, saying that they wanted to be accepted as concubines. ”

"It's really a toad looking for a frog, an ugly flower to play with. What does he have? ”

Chang Feng smiled: "If you can't do practical things, you can enjoy kissing and touching." Whatever, don't be short of the money you ransom. ”

Xu Fatzi was indignant: "Fart! Li Guang said that he had picked a good person, and he would give him silver when he returned home. I haven't seen a tael of silver until now! ”

Saitang Hong said: "Three women, 1,500 taels of silver is just a matter." Brother Xu, don't talk around. ”

"Offending the celebrant for this bit of silver will only be bad for us Yihong Mansion, not good."

Chang Feng nodded: "Yes." It's better to ask for a woman from the Qinglou than for him to go to the street and rob the people's daughters. ”

In the words of later generations, Li Guang relied on Empress Zhang as a backer, and gradually began to let himself go. Do anything bastard.

Last time, Chang Feng did not tear his face as an enemy for the sake of the overall situation.

But the enemy will always come to the door inadvertently.
