CHAPTER XLV

After chatting for a while, it turned to Zhong Lei's marriage, and Jiao Yi said: "Fortunately, everyone's family members are in the house, so they are responsible for organizing the wedding. ”

Everyone said yes, and said that if Long Live Lord and Mo Guifei could come, it would be even better.

At dawn, as soon as Zhang Qi'er loaded and unloaded the door panel of the tea shop, Lianzi came over, and when she saw it, she said: "Master, Miss asked me to invite you, saying that it was to discuss marriage." Go, go, go. ”

Zhang Qi'er was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It seems that this girl is busy and confused." I just told her a few days ago that I won't get married this year, so why should she discuss this marriage with me again? ”

Seeing that Zhang Qi'er had misunderstood, Lianzi hurriedly said, "Master, you have made a misunderstanding." It's the chief manager who is going to marry my young lady, and the house has begun to put up lights and procure all the things needed. ”

When Zhang Qi'er heard this, her face couldn't help but be happy, and her heart was also warm.

"You two take care of the business, I'll go into the house for a while. ”

He hurriedly greeted the two ladies, followed Lianzi and left, and said when he met people along the way: "The chief manager of Tianbo Mansion is going to marry my daughter, and the big wedding is in these days." ”

This was such a great event that the people heard about it and spread the word about it, and in the evening, the whole city knew about the great joy of Tianbo Mansion.

All kinds of major events in the house have basically been completed, and the wedding banquet has its own family members to take care of, the leisurely Zhong Lei and Wang Bao, Zhao Hu, and then Feng Guang, holding the young master, Jasper, Peony, and Xuemei walked in the crowd of people on the street.

Looking at the bustling city, listening to the sound of talking about catties and prices, there were bursts of shouts from the restaurant to greet customers, which made Zhong Lei very emotional.

"When we left Lijiazhuang, we just wanted to find a quiet place, raise the young master to grow up, let him practice kung fu, and go to the rivers and lakes on the two realms of good and evil to avenge the blood revenge. Alas, who would have thought that the inadvertently selected the site to build the courtyard would lead to this Pukou City because of the relationship between the Long Live Lord, I really didn't expect it. ”

Feng Guang nodded and smiled, pointed to the shops on both sides and said, "This is the God who has mercy on my young master and made him the city lord of this prosperous small city." Alas, if we don't cherish and make good use of it, then we are really sorry for the gift of the young lord and God to our young masters. ”

Wang Bao nodded again and again and said "yes"

, Zhao Hu said: "I just hope that the emperor will live forever." ”

Everyone strolled and laughed, and they were very happy.

Suddenly, there was a lot of chaos in the streets, and I heard someone shouting in panic: "Run, everyone, the pirates are slaughtering the city." ”

This Qingping world, fish and rice Jiangnan, at the feet of the little prince, how could Pukou City enter the sea, Zhong Lei and they were all shocked.

At this time, three groups of soldiers and horses, about four or five thousand, came quickly from the three city gates and met at the crossroads.

"Archsteward. ”

Someone in the army shouted, but it was Hu Yanli, who was holding a green dragon knife and riding on a tall horse.

"The people came to report that there were a lot of warships suddenly coming to the wharf, with cannons and guns, and I would come to see them. ”

When Zhong Lei heard that the dock was a cannon and a gun, he immediately thought of something, and hurriedly said: "General Huyan, those may be our ships, stop the soldiers and horses, don't make a misunderstanding." ”

After hearing this, Feng Guang walked quickly to the dock, and saw Hu Yanxue leading a small battalion of 700 soldiers and horses standing on the shore, the knife was unsheathed, the arrows were wound, and the array was arrayed, and he was preparing to tear it apart.

There were three flat-bottomed warships on the wharf, and the black muzzles in the cabin and the more than 100 sailors armed with muskets on the deck were frightening the people on the shore, scurrying around, and the streets around the wharf were also extremely chaotic.

Yue Xiaoxuan was also a little frightened when he saw it, thinking that it must be a pirate invasion, and when he saw Feng Guang coming, he asked, "What kind of ship is this, General Feng, why is it so scary?"

Feng Guang didn't know it, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he shouted at the warship on the river: "I'm Feng Guang, but it's General Bai's subordinates who came to the ship?"

Someone on the warship immediately replied.

"It turned out to be General Feng, and the little one was General Bai's subordinate Li Mo, who was ordered by the general to send some things and ask General Feng to move to the ship to speak. ”

Feng Guang guessed that Bai Zizong must have exterminated a few pirates and obtained a lot of gold gum treasures for Li Mo to send over, so he waved his hand at the soldiers and horses on the shore and said to Hu Yanxue: "General, it's okay, it's your own family, don't let the people panic." ”

He jumped aboard the ship.

When the people on the wharf heard that it was the soldiers and horses of Tianbo Mansion, they naturally returned to peace.

Yue Xiaoxuan said in his heart: "In this way, we really can't underestimate the strength of Tianbo Mansion. Hey, even the warship is there. In addition to the infantry army, the horse army, there must also be a sailor. ”

So he went back to his dock.

When Feng Guang arrived on the ship, Li Mo said, "General Feng, we have exterminated twenty-three large and small pirates, and obtained a lot of gold and silver treasures. General Bai was afraid that there would be a lot of people in the mansion and a lot of expenses, so he asked the small one to send four million taels of silver, eight thousand five hundred taels of gold, and more than a thousand rare treasures. It's just that we are short of food and medicine, and General Bai hopes that the little ones can bring some back to help the emergency. ”

Feng Guang nodded and smiled, and after asking about the current situation of the sailors, mentioning his uncle Feng Li, Li Mo said: "Oh, General Feng personally received eight hundred, ten clippers, thirty artillery, two thousand taels of gold, and five hundred thousand taels of silver. ”

After chatting for a while, Feng Guang said: "I wanted to keep you for a few more days, and then leave after drinking the chief manager's wedding wine." But now that the sailors are in difficulty, then I will go ashore at once, let the soldiers and horses carry the treasures of the ship, and after a few consultations with the chief manager, let you bring back the goods as much as possible, so as not to make a mistake. ”

Li Mo nodded, and he returned to the shore and said to Hu Yanxue: "General, this is the Tianbo Mansion fleet, quickly move all the boxes and treasures on the ship into Tianbo Mansion." ”

Then he left the dock and rushed back, met Zhong Lei and them halfway, and hurriedly said: "It's really General Bai's warship." The sailor exterminated more than 20 pirates and obtained some gold and silver treasures, General Bai was afraid that the cost in the palace would be too great, so he sent 4 million taels of silver, 8,500 taels of gold, and some rare treasures. At present, the sailors are suppressing pirates in the Zhoushan area, and the number of soldiers and horses has increased by more than 4,000. It's just that there is a shortage of food and medicine in the army, as well as wine and weapons, and General Bai hopes that Li Mo can bring some back with the ship. ”

Hearing Zhao Hu Zhong Lei laughing, Wang Bao said: "What's so difficult about this, all the goods in the warehouses of the four barracks are loaded onto the ship, and then all the wound treatment drugs in Pukou City are packaged." I'm going to find Yue Xiaoxuan and ask him to load ten ships of grain, two ships of good wine, and a boat of chickens, ducks, and fish immediately. This wine is naturally your boss's favorite wine. ”

After Wang Bao left, Zhong Lei instructed Feng Guang to let him load five more boatloads of grain from the granary of Tianbo Mansion to the sailors, so as not to delay the fighters due to Bai Zizong's trapped food.

In the hustle and bustle of loading the goods, it came to the middle of the night.

Three warships, and twenty large ships, were loaded with all kinds of cargo.

Zhong Lei took Wang Bao, Zhao Hu, Jiao Yi, Feng Guang, Hu Yanli, and Nian Bo to the dock to see Li Mo off, and repeatedly explained.

"After you go back, tell General Bai that Long Live Lord is unwell, and Grandpa Cheng has sent someone to send a message, suggesting that my Tianbo Mansion should make preparations in advance to prevent unforeseen changes. ”

Li Mo nodded and asked, "Chief Administrator, if the Long Live Lord unfortunately dies and the crown prince ascends the throne as the emperor, will he do anything to my Tianbo Mansion?"

Zhong Lei nodded and said: "If the crown prince really ascends the throne and becomes the emperor one day, the first person who can't tolerate the young master is the prince's mother, Li Guifei." Therefore, every once in a while, you have to send a letter to Tianbo Mansion to know the whereabouts of the water master. Remember, if you need anything, just send someone to send it, and we will do our best to prepare it for you. Finally, bring a message to General Bai, the young master is very good, let him not worry. ”

Li Mo knelt down and thanked him, then led the boat out of the dock and disappeared into the night.

Zhong Lei and the others returned to the house, but in the middle of the night, they saw that the ladies of the families were in the lobby of the Yingtian Palace, happily looking at a large pile of gold and silver treasures on the ground, pointing and talking and laughing.

Zhong Lei wanted to make everyone happy, so he said to Yingchun, who was keeping accounts: "The sailors of Tianbo Mansion have won a lot of battles outside, so General Bai asked people to send these gold and silver treasures. Today, while the ladies in the house are here, then I will be the master of the young master. Each household received 500 taels of silver, 50 taels each for the Han and Mulan troops in the house, and 20 taels for each of the Yahuan people. Tomorrow morning, tens of thousands of taels of silver will be sent to each of the barracks, and they will be distributed by the generals, so that the soldiers of Tianbo Mansion will also be happy. ”

When the people heard this, there was no one who was not happy.

Some military men have already been on the right with the maids in the house, and at this moment the two of them got seventy taels of silver, which is a lot of money, and they discussed how to send the silver back to their hometown, and then the marriage was done.

And the ladies looked at a large amount of silver belonging to them with a smile, especially the old lady Tuba was even more happy to crook her mouth, and said to Zhong Lei: "The boss, my Tuba has both silver and a general, but there is no lady." Boss, my Tuba's brain used to practice martial arts, and now he is leading soldiers, so I never thought that my aunt and I would like to hold my grandson in my dreams, what do you say?"

Zhong Lei also thought about this matter for Tuba, but every time he mentioned it, this Tuba always smirked a few times and was not angry, and now let his mother say this, and said: "Mother, I also mentioned this, but Tuba just doesn't speak, and I can't do it." ”

Tuba's mother smiled and said: "Boss, I have a way to keep Tubaken marrying a lady." ”

Zhong Lei hurriedly asked: "What's the method? Hurry up, I'll do it immediately." ”

Tuba said, "Tuba once said that if the young master gave him a marriage, then he would not dare to resist the decree. ”

Zhong Lei smiled after hearing this: "This is easy to say, I will let the young master give marriage." It's just that I don't know if my mother has a candidate for a daughter-in-law in her heart. ”

Tuba nodded again and again, and beckoned to the three maids in the family and said, "The chief manager, it's them, I don't know if it's okay?"

Seeing that these three maid rings were all smart, Zhong Lei smiled and said: "Mother, as long as you have a grandson to hug, and Tuba is happy, they are happy, I will go and tell the young master immediately." This wedding date, then it will be the same day as me, what do you think?"

Tuba nodded and laughed again, and the three maids were also happy.
