When Xu Xingxia returned to Ningxia Town from Liaodong, it was already New Year. 【】

In the first year of Taichang, Ningxia Town has undergone a lot of changes. Xu Xingxia has only been away from Ningxia Town for a few months, and he feels that many places are almost unrecognizable. Under the leadership of management committees at all levels, all parts of Ningxia Town are carrying out large-scale demolition and construction. At a glance, there are busy workers everywhere.

The main target of the demolition is the original garrison camp, border fortress or something. These places occupy a lot of land and waste a lot of land resources, and now they are demolished and the land is redistributed to the common people for cultivation, which can expand the area of cultivated land and increase food production. If it is a building in the city, it can expand the space for commercial trade and build more shops.

The main projects of Dajian are some basic heavy industries. For example, cement, steel, coal and other resources are urgently needed everywhere. Among them, the number of cement plants is the largest. The emergence of this powerful building material has greatly improved the status quo of the construction industry. In many places, there are already a large number of high-rise buildings with more than five floors. In some places, there are even high-rise buildings with more than eight floors. This was unimaginable before.

The emergence of a large number of factories also gave birth to a large number of workers. A large number of affluent laborers began to work in factories and became veritable workers. The emergence of the working class has also led to great changes in the social structure. Since most of the workers are young and vigorous laborers, the right of this group to speak is becoming more and more important in the management committee. In many places, a large number of workers appeared among the members of the management committee.

On the third day of the first month of the first year of Taichang, Xu Xingxia finally entered Ningxia City. Without a doubt, he received the warmest welcome. Guests from all over the world crowded the streets to welcome Xu Xingxia's return. They gave flowers, candy, applause, cheers, and cheers to him without hesitation.

To be honest, Xu Xingxia, the groom's official, can be regarded as an alternative. In the Ming Dynasty, and even in the thousands of years of Chinese history, there seems to have never been such a groom official. The bride has been in Ningxia City for a long time, and he is still running outside, so he really doesn't look forward to the candle night in the cave room at all. However, this is also something that cannot be helped, who is called Nurhachi in Liaodong, who has always refused to settle down. I put business first, so I had to grieve the bride.

The white-clothed army still used the Taichang era name, which was a satisfactory place for the Southern Ming court. However, other than that, the Southern Ming Dynasty has nothing to rejoice about. They originally hoped that Xu Xingxia would make some promises or something at the wedding. At the very least, it will give the Southern Ming court a reassuring pill to eat and clarify the relationship between the two sides. For example, the White Army will not take the initiative to march into Jiangnan or anything. However, it is a pity that Xu Xingxia did not say anything. He married the emperor's precious daughter, but there was no bride price at all.

Oh, not at all. What bride price should ordinary people give when they get married, Xu Xingxia also gave it. His mother, Wang, was also worried that her bride price was not enough, which would make others feel that she had neglected her future daughter-in-law, so she prepared double portions for everything. There are more than 100 people in the mighty bride price procession. However, is this what Nanjing needs? Of course not. However, no one dared to make any other demands to Xu Xingxia. They don't have the guts. In case Xu Xingxia turns his face, even Zhu Yilan will be difficult to be.

So, Xu Xingxia and Zhu Yilan's wedding, in a confused situation, walked all the way from Nanjing to Ningxia City. If someone hides their stomachs, they just don't have a chance to say it. And some people also know that if someone hides his belly, he just doesn't give him a chance to say it. As a result, all the words of someone can only be held alive in the stomach.

Of course, the muddle situation refers to the political one. As for the bridegroom and the bride himself, if there is any secret agreement, it is not enough for outsiders. If Zhu Yilan doesn't say it, Xu Xingxia doesn't say it, who dares to ask? Someone else's newlywed Yan'er, the two have no guesses, what are you going to do? Do you really think that Old Devil Xu's nickname is used to scare children?

When passing by Xi'an Mansion, Xu Xingxia stayed in the original Qin Wangfu for one night, and carefully turned around the front and back of the Qin Wangfu. This Qin Wangfu will be Zhu Yilan's home in the future. Well, to be precise, it is his and Zhu Yilan's home. Of course, in addition to Zhu Yilan, there should be other women living in. But who lived in, Xu Xingxia didn't know. This is a matter within Zhu Yilan's jurisdiction, and he doesn't want to interfere.

After Xu Xingxia and Zhu Yilan got married, Zhu Yilan should spend most of his time in Xi'an and other places. Because, she often has to express condolences and walk around on behalf of Xu Xingxia, and she must not stay in the corner of Ningxia Town. Xi'an is located in the center of the country, and no matter where you go, the distance is almost the same. She couldn't be more suitable for living here. Similarly, Xu Xingxia returned to Xi'an from various places, and the journey was also the shortest.

Besides, everyone in the world knows that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are the most difficult to get along with. Whether it is a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of a small family, or a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of a large family, it is the same. Even inside the palace, this is true. Xu Xingxia's mother, Wang, and Zhu Yilan, the relationship between them for a short period of time may still be harmonious and can get along, if it takes a long time and you don't see anyone who looks up and looks down, maybe trouble will come.

Xu Xingxia's henchmen actually know that the Wang family is not very interested in this daughter-in-law from a princess, and she still likes Lin Xiaoniang a little more. If it weren't for Xu Xingxia's insistence on marrying Zhu Yilan, the Wang family would have chosen Lin Xiaoniang as the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. However, Wang's submission does not mean that she will be willing to accept Zhu Yilan from the bottom of her heart. After all, two people have completely different backgrounds, completely different concepts, and completely different living habits, and it is too difficult to live together in harmony.

Based on the experience of later generations, Xu Xingxia decided that it was best to live separately between the two of them. The Wang family was accustomed to the lifestyle of Ningxia Town, and did not want to live in Xi'an Mansion for a long time, so they lived in Ningxia Town for a long time. And Zhu Yilan, who is accustomed to the lifestyle of Xi'an Mansion and lives in Ningxia Town, also has many inconveniences, and it is best to live in Xi'an Mansion. It is best for the two to be separated, and generally not to see each other. If you don't see each other often, there will naturally be a lot less contradictions and conflicts. From time to time, I visit relatives or something, but I am more intimate.

For such an arrangement, Zhu Yilan naturally raised his hands in favor. She also knows that no matter how gentle and graceful she is, no matter how gentle and elegant she is, no matter how she swallows her anger, it is very difficult to get along with her mother-in-law happily for a long time. The old lady of the Wang family has a preconceived prejudice against her, and she has always been obsessed with her status as a princess, and it is indeed difficult for her to avoid it.

Zhu Yilan tried to give up her status as a princess, put down her figure, and get along with the old lady of the Wang family. However, the old lady of the Wang family is too sensitive to her status as a princess. Even if she doesn't say anything or do anything, she can't let go of this identity. And if she wants to put down her dignity, unconditionally, and obediently obey the words of the old lady of the Wang family, she can't do it. Even in front of Xu Xingxia, she couldn't do that.

Regarding Xu Xingxia's arrangement, the old lady of the Wang family has no opinion. That's the best. To be honest, Zhu Yilan's status as a princess is really a bit of pressure for the old lady of the Wang family. After all, Zhu Yilan is an identity, knowledgeable, knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and knowledgeable person, but the old lady herself doesn't know a single big word, and she doesn't know any rules, let alone the Four Books and Five Classics, the subset of scriptures and history, and whatever, is she a little inferior, isn't it? If you live together and see each other every day, you don't know how much pressure and embarrassment you have.

If Zhu Yilan was not around, the old lady would not have such pressure. She can treat Lin Xiaoniang as the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. In front of Lin Xiaoniang, the old lady did not have the slightest pressure. Since the old lady and Zhu Yilan have no opinions, Xu Fuqing has no opinions. As long as Xu Xingxia officially gets married, everything will be fine.

Before Xu Xingxia got married, Tesna had already given birth to a baby daughter named Atai. This is the Mongolian name. The Chinese name is Shixin. This name was given by Zhu Yilan. Under Zhu Yilan's arrangement, Namu Zhong, Tessna, Wuyunna, and Concubine Sutai and others all lived together. They are all Mongolian women, and they still retain a lot of Mongolian customs. Therefore, they are ready to move their place of residence to the Bayannur grassland. This is also what Xu Xingxia promised. In the future, Bayannur grassland will be their new home.

Now there is no problem in the Bayannur grassland in terms of safety. The mastiff cavalry led by Gao Jie has continuously defeated the Tatars heading south, inflicting great losses on them. Now the Tatars are reluctant to go south. Zuo Guangdou's ability to do things still wants to be stronger. With his efforts, the Bayannur grassland is being gradually developed. Due to the very attractive policies implemented by the white-clothed army in the Bayannur grassland, the population that is ready to migrate here is also increasing.

Xu Xingxia's wedding is scheduled to be held on the eighth day of the first lunar month. After he returned, all the procedures were immediately started and carried out in an orderly manner. As the groom's official, Xu Xingxia is the most relaxed. Because, all the things about the wedding are handled by special personnel, and he basically only needs to make soy sauce.

Of course, he won't be idle. He also has a lot of concerns. His business is never finished. Not long after returning to Ningxia Town, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xu Xingxia took time to go to the Ordnance Department to learn in detail about the production of various weapons and equipment.
