Chapter 48: The Wedding of the King of Chu
Chapter 48 The Wedding of the King of Chu
A craftsman came over and said, King Chu, I have been working for more than a month and finally finished carving the Analects, please take a look!
Li Zhe went to the carving room with the craftsmen, looking at the rows of stereotyped and good handwriting, Li Zhe was very happy, and then ordered someone to say: Kong Ming called, I have something to discuss!
Zhuge Liang came to the carving room and saw the rows of engraved plates, and immediately understood, this is the same as the seal, as long as the handwriting is clear, as soon as the paper net is engraved, the words will come out!
Li Zhe looked at Zhuge Liang proudly and said with a smile: Kong Ming takes ink and paper, let's try it first!
After a while, after the guards brought a foot of white paper from the prosecutor, Zhuge Liang and Li Zhewang painted ink on the engraving, and then put a piece of white paper on it, spread it evenly with their hands, and then took it, and turned it over, and the first page of the boxy Analects was completed!
Zhuge Liang looked at it and thought to himself, if it is done on such a large scale, the children of the whole Jingzhou can have books to read, at that time, the lord said that the whole Jingzhou should have books to read, and I thought that the lord said big things on a whim, but this seems to be true!
Li Zhe looked at the stunned Zhuge Liang with a smile and smiled!
Then Li Zhe ordered a large-scale forging of stereotypes and books from the entire Jingzhou, so that the future of the entire Jingchu can have fresher and more talents!
Li Zhe instructed the craftsmen to engrave the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun Tzu's Art of War, the Thirty-six Strategies, and some famous books!
Li Zhe and Zhuge Liang came to the house after leaving the carving room, and just happened to see Huang Chengyan also at the gate of the mansion!
Li Zhe, Huang Chengyan, invited to the house.
Huang Chengyan said: After reading the poems, the little girl was very happy and agreed to this marriage!
Li Zhe said: Father-in-law, I have decided to get married on the 28th of next month, you go back to the house first, and I will go to the Huangfu tomorrow with the dowry!
Huang Chengyan said: Okay, with such a son-in-law, I, Huang, can really be down-to-earth and put my mind at ease!
Li Zhe said to Zhuge Liang, Kong Ming, it has been more than three months since we came back from Soochow, and the dowry you have drawn up is ready!
Zhuge Liang said, the lord is ready!
Then let you go to Jiangdong, give me a dowry, and tell them that the 28th of next month is a good day, and they will choose this day for the wedding!
The next day, Li Zhe personally went to the Huang Mansion for the dowry, and during the discussion with Huang Chengyan, Huang Yueying secretly looked at Li Zhe in the back room.
Huang Yueying is always looking forward to meeting Li Zhe soon after reading the poems he wrote, Huang Yueying is not like Sun Shangxiang, she will say everything when she is in a hurry, her mouth is faster than her heart, Huang Yueying is a lady, similar to Xiao Xiaoqiao's personality, but her talent is comparable to Kong Ming Pang Tong and others!
Huang Yueying secretly looked at Li Zhe's posture and watched Li Zhe and his father talk and laugh chicly. Looking at Li Zhe's handsome appearance and the vicissitudes of his heart, Huang Yueying's heart began to beat faster, and that feeling had never been felt before.
After Li Zhe left, Huang Chengyan said in the living room, Yue'er come out, how do you see it!
Huang Yueying's face turned red and she returned to the house.
Huang Chengyan laughed and said: It seems that you are really a woman!
After Li Zhe returned to the mansion, Zhuge Liang waited at the gate of the mansion for a long time, Zhuge Liang saw Li Zhe and said, Lord, I have gone to Jiangdong, and I can leave without any orders!
Li Zhe was stunned for a moment and then said: There is really something, now it is just about to enter winter, and the autumn harvest has just passed! After you go to Jiangdong, negotiate a business with Jiang and buy grain, preferably 500,000 quintals of grain and grass! It's no problem if the price is higher than the market price!
Li Zhe looked at Zhuge Liang and said, go! Be careful!
Zhuge Liang left Jiangling with the things of the carriage in time and ran to Jiangdong!
Li Zhe walked to the mansion, and Yi Ji followed, and said to Li Zhe: Lord, the river has been dug up, and the old river channel has been repaired from the new, and all the silver taels have been issued to the people, and every citizen has received silver taels!
Li Zhe smiled and said, Okay, it seems that we are going to make a big talent next year!
I don't understand!
Li Zhe said, Boji, I order you to go to Cao Cao and buy 500,000 quintals of grain, three points higher than the market price! I think that although Cao Cao is fighting now, money is the supply of weapons for Cao's army, and the grain and grass are just harvesting in autumn at the moment, and they are not short of food at this time! It can be negotiated!
Yi said: My lord, our Jingzhou granary is basically close to full? At this time, I still buy so much grain and grass, and there is no place to put it!
Li Zhe said: Each county guard, the warehouse of each county is empty, if you can't put it down, put it in the weapons warehouse, and the weapons and baggage should not be full!
Yi Zhi looked at Li Zhe's expression very seriously, so he had no choice but to go out.
Li Zhe asked someone to instruct: The wedding of the lord on the 28th of next month, let Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Cai Mao, Wen Ping, Huang Zu, go to Jiangling on time to attend the wedding!
The guards answered and ran out, and then five or six horses left Jiangling City to pass on Li Zhe's orders!
Li Zhe turned around and came to Gan Ying's room, looking at Gan Ying sewing clothes for Li Zhe, Li Zhe said: Sister, how many times have I said it, you don't want to sew clothes in the future, just let the next person do these needlework.
Gan Ying said: This one is different, this one I made for my brother when we got married, so I have to sew it for my brother by hand, and I don't worry about others doing it!
Li Zhe hugged Gan Ying's waist from behind, Gan Ying also put down the work in her hand and leaned on Li Zhe's side, Li Zhe said, maybe you will have more sisters in the future.
Gan Ying said: I have heard about this a long time ago, daughter of the Huang family!
The Huang family is a famous family, and Mr. Huang Chengyan is also a famous man in Jingzhou, a great talent, his daughter is talented, full of wealth, even if I heard that the appearance is ugly, it is just a rumor, I have never seen it, I have known these for a long time!
Li Zhe didn't say anything, just kept holding Gan Ying, and Gan Ying was still in Li Zhe's arms, Li Zhe thought to himself, I am really blessed with a woman who understands me so much!
When the letter went to Jiangxia, he went to the military tent of Pang Tong and Gan Ning and said that the lord will get married on the 28th of next month, and he wants me to notify him and attend the wedding on time!
Then looking at Gan Ning's appearance, tears of excitement flowed out of his heart, in this life, Gan Ying is his only relative, and Gan Ying can marry the lord, which is also his only wish,
Gan Ning knew that the lord was loving and kind, although he was the king of Chu, he never had a stand in front of them!
And Li Zhe has the grace of saving lives and knowing their brothers and sisters, and even more of the grace of recreation, if the younger sister marries the lord, she can also let the younger sister serve the lord for a lifetime, to repay the lord's kindness!
Pang Tong next to him stood up and said to Gan Ning: Xingba, congratulations, you will be the lord's brother-in-law in the future!
Gan Ning's tears can't be stopped!
At this time, Yi came to see Cao Cao to talk about buying food, and Cao Cao thought to himself, why did he buy food? Jingzhou is rich and has a good harvest, so why buy grain? Cao Cao couldn't figure it out!
In the end, Cao Cao thought, no matter what, he didn't lose money in this matter, three points higher than the market price, so how many weapons and baggage can be sold, the weapons on the front line should be replaced, and there is really a shortage of silver in the treasury, so Cao Cao negotiated this deal with Yizhi!
