Early the next morning, in front of the Lianggong armory shop located in the royal street, the sound of firecrackers shook the sky, and a team of dancing girls sang and danced in front of the store.

The original Lianggong armory shop covers an area of six acres, three acres of storefront, three acres of back room, the back room still belongs to the Lianggong armory shop, but the store is divided into two, two acres of the storefront is leased to Baoyan Zhai, the Lianggong armory shop only leaves one acre of storefront, it is not to make money from the storefront, but to make money by selling valuable weapons by regular customers, and the store is not important to them.

Li Daqi spent thousands of dollars to renovate the two-acre shop, divided it into a display area, a makeup area and a small warehouse, and built a very small shop with a tent next to the store, only six feet wide, red and yellow, with very bright colors, specially used to sell balsam.

This is also the way that Mrs. Sun thought, the new store is only two or three hundred steps away from the old store, many old customers go to the original site to find that Bao Yan Zhai disappeared, as long as you turn back, you can see this brightly colored small tent shop, will definitely be attracted to come, Li Yanqing will deepen this idea, requiring all Bao Yan Zhai stores to be painted in red and yellow, including the banner of Bao Yan Zhai, so that these two colors are deeply rooted in the hearts of customers.

Li Yanqing wanted to go out to relax today, but was dragged by his father Li Daqi to Baoyan Zhai in Yujie, in Li Daqi's words, he was going to Alum Lou this morning to confirm the details of the wedding, and he really didn't have time to take care of the opening of the new store, so he asked Li Yanqing to sit in the new store in Yujie for him.

Although it is a new store, Li Yanqing is unwilling to pick up people and entertain guests outside, it is enough to have Wu Da Steward and Sun Da Niang, he sat in the small warehouse to Yue Fei and Wang Gui to reply to the letter, Yue Fei asked someone to bring a letter a few days ago, he regretfully told Li Yanqing that his father refused to leave his hometown, and his mother refused to leave his grandfather's tomb too far, so he could not move to Ezhou, and could only live up to Li Yanqing's kindness.

Wang Gui also wrote a letter to tell Li Yanqing that his wife Tang Yuan'er was pregnant, and he was finally going to be a father.

The warehouse is about 200 square meters, full of large and small boxes and shelves, all kinds of goods have not had time to be sorted out, stacked together layer by layer, five or six chairs and a small table are placed in the corner, which is regarded as a rest place for the staff, Li Yanqing sat at the small table to write letters.

At this time, the door suddenly opened, and a female clerk walked in, saluted Li Yanqing and said, "There is a distinguished guest outside, and the chief steward asks the little proprietor to go out quickly." ”

"Who's coming?"

"It seems to be the head of the Cao family."

Li Yanqing was startled, hurriedly put away the letter, and walked quickly to the outside of the store, outside the store, Cao Ping was looking at the big brand of Baoyanzhai with his hand, he was a person who knew the goods, and at a glance recognized the three words "Baoyanzhai" as the thin gold body of the handwriting of the Son of Heaven, and the name of the Lianggong armory shop next to it was also a celebrity, which was written by Su Shi himself.

Steward Wu next to him was very nervous, he had never received a high-ranking official like Cao Ping, but the proprietor went to the alum building, fortunately the little official was there, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.

At this moment, Li Yanqing walked out of the store quickly, and Steward Wu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Qi Gong Cao, the little proprietor of my family is here." ”

Cao Ping's eyes narrowed with a smile, "Yanqing, it seems that your complexion is good!" ”

Li Yanqing was not as depressed and sad as he feared, but he was still energetic, and his eyes were full of confidence, which made Cao Ping really feel gratified.

Li Yanqing saluted and asked, "Why does Grandfather-in-law have time to come over today?" ”

"Baoyanzhai new store opened, I came to congratulate, isn't your father there?"

"Father went to Alum Tower to confirm the details of the wedding, let me come to the new store, grandfather, please go in and sit!"

Li Yanqing invited Cao Ping to come into the store to rest, but Cao Ping shook his head, "The store is full of women, so I won't go in, or let's go sit next door!" ”

Li Yanqing really didn't want to invite Cao Ping to the warehouse to rest, so he nodded, followed Cao Ping to the weapon shop next door, they came to the back room and sat down, and the shopkeeper hurriedly went to order tea for them.

"The news of your dethronement has spread all over the capital, why don't you send it off when Duke Fan left Beijing this morning?"

"I already went to his house last night to say goodbye, and Fan Xianggong specially took care of me not to send him off this morning, so as not to touch the scene and hurt the parting."

"There are a lot of people who are going to send it today! There were more than 50 court officials who went to the west of the city to see them off, which fulfilled the old saying, justice is in the hearts of the people, everyone knows what is going on, and it is not the so-called forming a party for personal gain. ”

Li Yanqing groaned and said, "I never regret it!" ”

"That's right, now the Great Song Dynasty is dark, traitorous ministers are in charge, and slightly upright ministers have been deposed, which is sad, but I believe that sooner or later there will be a day when the sun rises in Yunkai."

"I'm afraid that the imperial court will completely sink in the dark, and the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains will be ravaged by the alien tiger and wolf army."

"Even if there is a day, I am not afraid, as long as you are here, I will definitely expel the Tartars and restore the Han family, Yanqing, am I right?" Cao Ping looked at Li Yanqing with anticipation in his eyes.

Li Yanqing nodded, "Grandfather is right, if there is really that day, thousands of Great Song Erlang will definitely come forward to protect the family and defend the country, and Yanqing is no exception!" ”

Cao Ping smiled approvingly: "What a good man who stands up to the sky, Yun Niang is also her luck to marry you, you will get married in three days, after you get married, you will go to Jiayu County together to take office." ”

........

Although Mrs. Wang wanted her daughter to marry the Wang family and regret the marriage with Li Yanqing, it was a pity that the Cao family was not in charge of her, and her husband, who had always been obedient, was also very ineffective this time, and the marriage was not able to be returned in the end, and her daughter had to marry that Li Yanqing.

Mrs. Wang had to take the initiative to find her daughter to admit her mistake, and wiped her tears in front of her daughter, talking about the pain of giving birth to her child, the kind-hearted Cao Yun forgave her mother's absurdity, and the mother and daughter reconciled.

February 15, everything is fine, this is undoubtedly an extremely rare good day, whether it is opening, housewarming, marriage, groundbreaking, going out will choose to carry out today, so today's capital is particularly lively, early in the morning all over the capital sounded crackling firecrackers, there are hundreds of people who marry today, everywhere you can see the door of the house hanging red and green, the door is pasted with a big word.

Today, of course, is also an important day for Li Yanqing to marry a wife, according to the plan, most of the wedding will be held in the alum building, and then return to his own house when he is sent to the cave room, but today's cave house is not located in the mansion of Li Yanqing in Yunqiqiao, but in the mansion of Li Daqi on Freezer Street, this is the unanimous decision of Li Daqi and the Cao family, the reason is very simple, not long ago there was a murder in the Yunqiqiao mansion, and the monks of Yunqi Temple came to the back garden to recite the scriptures for three days and three nights, and they also diluted the murderous atmosphere of the back garden.

In addition, the freezer street is not far from the alum building, and it is easy to send it into the cave house.

Before dawn, more than a dozen female guests of the Cao family brought a few ox cart items to make beds on the Li Daqi Mansion on the freezer street, making the bed is the popular saying of arranging the cave room, which is an important part of marriage, a bit like today's man prepares the house, the woman is responsible for decoration, the man's family should prepare the room and bed cabinet, etc., and the woman is ready to be soft to decorate, which is also part of the woman's dowry, often arranged magnificently, in order to show the financial resources of the woman's family.

The cave house is located in a small courtyard in the backyard, there are two rooms, which have been left empty, it is actually Li Yanqing's room, but Li Yanqing has never lived in it, and today it is used as a cave house.

The cave room is received by the Yang family, Li Daqi went to the alum building early in the morning, today there are many guests from the man's family and the woman's family, the woman is not only the children of the Cao family, but also some people with excellent relationships, and the man is mainly the Li clan, including the clansmen on both sides of Tangyin County and the capital, in addition to some giant businessmen in the capital, all of whom are friends of Li Daqi's business, and then there is an important steward of Baoyan Zhai.

Li Daqi estimated that at least five or six hundred people would come today, only Alum Tower was the most suitable, and the biggest advantage of Alum Tower was that it could separate the guests of the man and the woman's house, the guests of the Cao family were mainly eunuchs, and most of the guests of the Li family were celebrities in the shopping mall, and it seemed that the two sides were a little out of place.

Of course, it is not the first time that the alum building has held a wedding, but it is by no means a common thing, it will cost at least tens of thousands of dollars to wrap the alum building in a day, which is by no means an ordinary person can afford it, not to mention the expensive gifts for each guest, the guests take the family as a unit, each family sends a red treasure box worth fifty yuan, this wedding alone costs, Li Daqi has spent close to 30,000 yuan, and there is only one son, Li Daqi will certainly not be stingy, and he does not want to be shabby and looked down upon by the Cao family.

"A little to the right, a little more to move!"

The atrium garden of the alum tower is hanging a huge 'Xi' character, this 'Xi' character is carved with the hollow of golden silk nan wood, the length and width are one zhang, the weight is a thousand catties, the whole body is painted with vermilion, and it is decorated with colorful satin, which looks particularly joyful and rich.

Li Daqi was also looking up to pay attention to the hoisting of the word 'Xi', and he said to the steward: "A little further to the right, in the middle of a pair of red candles below!" ”

The steward immediately shouted, "One more foot to the right, yes!" Move slowly and listen to my command. ”

At this time, a small servant stepped forward and said to Li Daqi: "Xiao Li's drum team is here, waiting outside!" ”

Li Daqi was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around and walked outside, Xiao Li Blowing Drum Team is the most famous drum blowing class in the capital, it is said that it can blow passionately, and the big families in the capital have to invite them to do red and white ceremonies, of course, the price is not cheap, it costs 300 yuan a day, their business is scheduled to the end of the year, Li Daqi is to spend 500 yuan to insert the team, and invite them to blow for a day.

The head of the drum team is also surnamed Li, nicknamed Li Suona, is an old man of nearly sixty years old, although he is not young, but he is full of energy, and his steps are very vigorous. ”

Li Daqi smiled and said, "Today, there will be the head of the Lao Li team and everyone." ”

"Don't be polite, we just eat this bowl of rice, and we promise to satisfy Li Dongzhu, I don't know when to set off to welcome my relatives?"

"There will be a while, Shen will set off at the moment, and there will be a team leader at that time, what a coincidence, he is here!"
