CHAPTER XXVI
It's also a shame that these official histories are really good at digging out their minds, and when the gold and silver treasures are empty, they will change their methods to loot other things. The result is that everything is sent, bizarre and varied. Such as stone arch bridges, rockeries, strange flowers and plants, as well as antique calligraphy and paintings, and even skilled craftsmen, skilled craftsmen, cooks, maids, langzhong, warlocks, naturally there are gold and silver, rare treasures. Even officials from Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi came to join in the fun, sending tigers, leopards, birds of prey, and alien things.
Because Cheng Hong had hinted, they were very bold in welcoming the spring, and they smiled at the property they sent, which can be said to be that those who came did not refuse and accepted all the orders. Temporary pavilions and post stations were also erected on the construction site. Because there were too many gifts, there was no place to put them, so Lei Long had to build more than 20 temporary warehouses, all guarded by the soldiers who fought strictly, and asked Cheng Hong to bring some back and give back to the emperor and the concubine, which was really decent.
And Jiangnan is a rich place, in order to tie up the little prince, all the officials in the two rivers have given gold and silver, or rare treasures, but the local people are harmed, but the Tianbo Mansion is cheap. And the most hateful person in the Tianbo Mansion who can use his brains to collect money for his master is Jiao Yi. He was a person who came out of the palace, and naturally mastered the mentality of the gift-giver, so he specially made a gift account book, and also recorded the names and official positions of the gift-giving officials one by one, saying that after the little prince came back, let him look at it, choose the time to speak well in front of the emperor, or make up for the shortage in the local area, or promote to any official position. This is a terrible thing, that is, no matter how much treasure the officials give, they are afraid that they will give less, and then the little prince will be unhappy when he sees it, as long as he casually says his own in front of the emperor, then let alone say that he is not an official career, I am afraid that even his life will be difficult to protect, so he will posthumously give gifts again to show his loyalty to Zhu Tianxiao, the little prince. Make Lei Long, Geng Biao and these people are busy entertaining and thanking all day long, and the nine people of Yin Guanghai will classify the gifts one by one and put them into the warehouse, and they don't have time to keep accounts for the Spring Festival, and this matter has been busy for two months before it cools down.
Yingchun, who has already become the housekeeper of Tianbo Mansion, can finally sit on the chair after being busy, drink a bowl of fragrant tea leisurely, and discuss with Lei Long, Jiao Yi, and Yan Zheng, how to take care of Tianbo Mansion before the young master, Zhong Lei, Zhao Hu, and Wang Bao come back.
"Three big brothers, you have all seen that there are more and more people in Tianbo Mansion, and there are so many that they are all headaches, and they don't even have time to remember their names. With no one to supervise them, these people wandered around the construction site and didn't know what to do. I'm afraid that if this continues, something will happen sooner or later. ”
Hearing Yingchun's words, Lei Long smiled and said: "Who would have thought that these officials could not send anything, but actually sent these cooks, Langzhong, craftsmen, handymen, and maids, subordinates, old slaves, old mothers, even the birth mother, I took it." Yan Zheng said: "These officials, who don't use their minds on governing the place and benefiting the people, just want to confront our Tianbo Mansion, I really don't know what they think." Jiao Yi smiled, pointed at Yan Zheng and said: "Lei Long, Yingchun, maybe you two don't know that there is a county lord in Hangzhou Mansion who actually brought his sister-in-law here, saying that he wanted to make General Yan small." Hearing Lei Long's "poof" laughing: "Even my own sister has been sent out, this county master is really well-intentioned." What is the result?" Yan Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't want this county master to be a scoundrel, leave my sister, and leave by myself." This, isn't this a forced marriage?" Yingchun asked, "What about that person?" Yan Zheng sighed and pointed at Jiao Yi, and Jiao Yi smiled and said, "This little woman, I think it's okay." Not to mention her pretty, she still exudes a heroic spirit. She also has a long sword in her hand, presumably she is also practicing martial arts. Now, she lives with the cooks. Otherwise, I'll go and get her here so you can see it. Yingchun nodded and smiled: "Lord Jiao, my little sister has this intention." When Jiao Yi heard this, he got up and went to the shed.
"General Yan, what do you think in your heart?" Lei Long thought that after the county lord's sister came, whether he would go or stay, he had to give an explanation, so he asked Yan Zheng, so as not to be embarrassed when he got it, and he also wronged the little woman. "So. Yan Zheng really couldn't answer. If you say that you don't like the county lord's sister, it's against your will, and he can't say it. The woman had a bold personality, spoke straightforwardly, and was handsome, exactly the kind he liked. But he is Yan Shifan's righteous son, and he has had a marriage contract with Yan Shifan's daughter since he was a child, but he has not yet finished married. "Lord Lei, if I marry this woman, what should I do with Yan Ruyu? My father-in-law is better than my own father, and I am afraid that after accepting the little one, my father-in-law will be unhappy if he knows it. "The relationship between Yan Zheng and Yan Shifan, Lei Long, Yingchun, everyone in their group knows it, and naturally they also know the marriage contract between Yan Zheng and Yan Ruyu. Hearing this at this time, Yingchun said: "General Yan, my little sister has an idea, why don't you take Sister Ruyu here, you two get married first, and then accept the young." In this way, Sister Ruyu is the main house, presumably Yan Shifan will not be so stingy. Lei Long thought this idea was good, so he nodded and smiled: "General Yan, I think it's okay." This is not only worthy of Yan Ruyu, but also does not lose the little woman. At that time, all of us will come to the banquet, and you only need to be a ready-made bridegroom. In doing so, Yan Zheng was still not satisfied, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
After talking here, Jiao Yi also brought the woman here, Yingchun liked it when she saw it, and hurriedly pointed to the chair next to her and asked her to sit down, and gave her his own teapot. This woman is really good, so she thanked Yingchun first: "Thank you, sister." Then he introduced himself and said: "My name is Chen Hong, a native of Ningbo, sixteen this year, but I don't know how to needle and thread as a female worker, I love to dance swords and play guns, my personality is also straight, and I like to hold grievances, others say that I don't look like a daughter." My parents died last year, and I have no sisters in the family, one brother who is the county lord, and one who is thirteen years old. Now that I have arrived at Tianbo Mansion, General Yan does not dislike it, and a few people are in charge. If General Yan doesn't like me, I will stay here to guard the warehouse and become a soldier. Yingchun smiled, took her hand, patted the back of her hand and said: "Your sister, there is no fence to speak, there are five hundred soldiers in Tianbo Mansion, which turn is for you to guard the warehouse, and General Yan of my family is reluctant." Chen Hong glanced at Yan Zheng and said, "He doesn't know how to pity." Yingchun said with a grin: "Look at you, this mouth is not covered again." Before you came, we were talking about you. Sister, sister just wants to ask you a word, do you want to marry into my Tianbo Mansion? If you want, I will let Lord Jiao choose an auspicious day and hold a wedding banquet in a beautiful manner. If you don't want to, then it's good to change into a military hanfu and stay in the warehouse here. I don't want Chen Hong to be shy, a beautiful face turned red, Lei Long saw it and said to Yan Zheng: "As I just said, you will go back today and bring Yan Ruyu over, then Chen Hong also has a talking partner." The county master, since I and Yingchun went to the dowry, I will never lose your face as a general. Yingchun said: "When you leave, come to me to bring a piece of silver, and bring the whole family, don't be afraid that there is no place to live." As for my sister, she lives with me during this time, and helps me take care of some things by the way. When Chen Hong heard that there was something to do, he immediately said happily: "These days are just idle meals, and I can't get anywhere, and I'm about to suffocate me." Sister, I want to train female soldiers, okay?"
"Okay. Sister, what do you want to do?" Yingchun nodded and asked, Chen Hong glanced at Yan Zheng, took a sip of tea, and said, "Sister, although Tianbo Mansion is big, there is no need for seven or eight hundred rings." I want to pick 300 of them myself, and teach them how to use guns and practice knives. It would be better if it could be paired with horses. Yan Zheng smiled when he heard this, and said, "You are beautiful with a horse." I, a 500-strong soldier, only have three horses, so you can wait behind me. Unexpectedly, Chen Hong was angry and stern, and said with a smile: "Your military man has no horse to ride, that is because you have no ability." Hey, I'm going to buy a horse with my own money, and I want to let your male soldiers slander and watch my female soldiers ride big horses. Yan Zheng smiled helplessly, and suddenly thought of something, so he said: "I heard Ling'er say that Manager Zhong had promised them that he wanted to help them marry a daughter-in-law. I thought, since we have so many maid rings, and we look like this, it is better to let Ling'er choose it themselves, and Tianbo Mansion will pay for their marriage, so that they can also feel at ease from now on, what do you see?" Jiao Yi nodded and said, "Of course it's the best to be able to do this." Yan Zheng said: "I have another idea. I heard Yin Guanghai say that you will all take your family to live with you when you arrive, so naturally I will come to join in this excitement. It is better to pick out the smart and clever, clean hands and feet of the girl ring first, and have a special person**. At that time, there will be two households, and the rest will be easy to discipline. Lei Long, Jiao Yi said yes, Yingchun smiled: "Then I'll do this." I will carefully select 50 maids and 25 cooks. When all of you have brought your wives and children, you will divide them into three for each household. In my opinion, there must be twenty-five families for the time being, and it will not be enough to talk about it at that time. After the meeting, Yingchun handed over the fifty maids and twenty-five cooks to the boat, and the rest of the cooks were handed over to his father Zhang Qi'er, who was responsible for fighting for the food, drink and washing of their five hundred soldiers.
After Yan Zheng left, Chen Hong really carefully selected three hundred people with sharp hands and feet and good understanding from Yahuan, who practiced marksmanship in the morning, practiced swordsmanship in the afternoon, and guarded the warehouse at night, which was very satisfactory to everyone. Yingchun thought about the horses, so he found Ge Camel, gave him 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and asked him to take fifty people to the horse markets in several nearby cities to buy horses. Lei Long was not idle, and let more than 100 craftsmen manage the various projects of Tianbo Mansion, and more than 60 were responsible for the entry and exit of the warehouse. In the end, from the remaining 172 Yahuan, a girl named Lianzi was selected to be the head of Yahuan and take care of daily life.
Ling'er and their beggars in the past, now they have become the last masters of Tianbo Mansion, so they naturally came to a building near the water to get the moon first, and each of them picked a virtuous lady, and waited for General Yan to pick up his family and marry him as a groom for a wedding ceremony, and since then he has a wife and a family.
Fortunately, Yan Zheng didn't let everyone look forward to it for too long, and finally brought the nurse Liu, Liu's son Wang Meng, fiancée Yan Ruyu, and three Yahuan. Welcoming the Spring Festival freely, Jiao Yi introduced the Yan family into a temporary house converted from a warehouse, but there was everything for daily tithes. After Yan Zheng introduced each other, Jiao Yi said: "General Yan, it's not that I'm suspicious, because of Yan Song's father and son, I'm afraid that the magistrate will make a fuss about Ruyu when he arrives." Therefore, if someone asks you whose bride is the daughter of the family on the wedding day, you will say that she is an orphan, and we will say the same. Lest someone catch the wind and catch the shadow and stab the matter into the palace, this Yan family's fish that slipped through the net, do you let the emperor investigate it or not? In addition, in order to be lively, Ling'er and their group also want to touch your joy and get married on the same day as you. In this way, another thing was born, that is, Chen Hong. I don't want Yan Ruyu to be very smart, and I have already heard Yan Zheng talk about Chen Hong, at this time, when I heard Jiao Yi say this, I hurriedly smiled: "This is easy to do, just let my sister marry him on the same day as me, wouldn't it be more lively." These words made Yingchun breathe a long sigh of relief, took Yan Ruyu's hands and said, "With my sister's words, I will be relieved." Then he said to Yan Zheng: "After a long journey, you rest first, and the dinner will be brought by someone, so we will leave first." Liu hurriedly said: "Zheng'er, hurry up and send them off for my mother." ”
After more than half a month of training, Chen Hong's Mulan Army already has some appearance, this big sword, holding a spear, wearing a military uniform, is very heroic, and it is equipped with horses, who can know that these people were still serving people half a month ago. When Yingchun found Chen Hong, she was practicing horseback riding with Mulan Jun, so she went over and told her that Yan Zheng had returned and Yan Ruyu. She patted her chest and said, "I've been worried about this for many days, but it turns out that I'm worried about it." It seems that this sister can get along. Yingchun nodded and smiled: "Then wait to be the bride." I still have to prepare for your marriage, so let's go. ”
On the day of the wedding, all the works in Tianbo Mansion were stopped, and hundreds of tables of banquets were set up on the construction site. In order to avoid trouble, no local officials were invited to join in the fun, and all the people who drank the wedding wine were their own family members. Although it is more than a dozen couples of marriages to do together, because the protagonist of the groom is a strict dispute, the traditional master of ceremonies cannot be missing, both the red hijab of the wedding dress and the red thread of the sedan chair. This lion dance and dragon, in the midst of the firecrackers, Yan Zheng married two wives, worshiped the sky and worshiped the high hall twice, and the Liu family smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, there were two daughters-in-law, one of whom said "Niang", and called his heart sweet.
This is the first big joy of the Tianbo Mansion, Lei Long, Jiao Yi and their brothers naturally will not let go of the groom, each of them toasted a bowl of wine, and drank Yan Zheng is dizzy, and his face became Guan Gong's face, his feet fluttered, and he shouted vigorously at his soldiers with empty bowls: "Drink." Drink. I am not happy who does not get drunk. "The five hundred soldiers are no longer big and small today, no matter how your general enters the cave room when he arrives, how to remove the bride's red hijab, then you salute him bowl by bowl, until he is drunk and lies on the ground. Who expected that the army would stop making trouble, but the Mulan army came, Chen Hong couldn't see it well, and hurriedly said: "As long as you don't make trouble, I will give you three days off." "But these Mulan soldiers don't want to be fake, they want to toast you, and they end up drinking another one.
After drinking the wedding wine and entering the cave room, Ling'er and these beggars finally got over the addiction of being a groom, and they couldn't close their mouths, and they were more motivated to do things after marriage. The most proud is that Zhang beggar, who is the father of the housekeeper, so naturally he has to get some tricks, and the result is that he married two wives in one marriage, but it made Yingchun very embarrassing, this stepmother's age is about the same as herself, this "mother" can't be called, only hiding and not seeing her father.
