Chapter 183: The Road Meets the Post
On this day, the subordinates of Cai's Mansion have been busy since the fifth watch, taking care of the house inside and out several times, and putting up lights, because an important guest came today.
"Master......." Cai Lin saw that Cai Yong couldn't sleep early in the morning, and when she was walking around at this time, she couldn't help but call.
Cai Yong stopped, hesitated, but still couldn't resist the apprehension in his heart, and asked: "Cai Lin, today Captain Qin Feng of Sili is visiting, do you say that I greet him in person or ......." ”
Cai Lin pondered for a moment and said, "The master should be waiting for General Qin to meet in the main hall." ”
"Yes...... But Qin Feng is now the captain of Si Li, and Yu Liwu should greet him at the gate to ....... Cai Yong was worried. This Qin Feng is really amazing, it only took more than a year to complete his former vow.
"Within two years, I will be famous all over the world, and I will come back to marry Cai Yan!" This sentence still echoed in Cai Yong's mind, however, he was still relieved in his heart. It's really a very good thing for his daughter to be able to marry this person.
Cai Lin also knew about the two-year appointment, so she was thinking, if you had agreed to the marriage earlier, where would there be the embarrassment now. He also knew in his heart that although the old man didn't say it, he was waiting for Qin Feng to come to the door early in the morning to propose.
Cai Lin said: "Although General Qin is a senior official, he is also a junior. This time I came to visit me personally, and as a senior, the master naturally had no reason to greet ...... in person. ”
"Yes, yes. Qin Feng is a junior, how can the old man go to meet him ....... After Cai Yong finished speaking, he sat down and drank tea.
Cai Lin was happy in her heart and said, "Master, then I'll go to the front door to greet you." ”
……
"Miss...... General Qin is coming soon!" Xiao Lan'er slammed into the door and said happily.
Cai Yan couldn't hide her joy, and there was a lot of anxiety, and when she saw Lan'er coming back, she hurriedly said, "Lan'er, do you think I should wear that dress?" ”
Xiao Lan'er saw that the wardrobe was already in a mess, and all kinds of clothes were placed everywhere, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "What is the young lady flustered about?" ”
"Phew, you're panicking." Cai Yan blushed when he heard this.
"Hee-hee......." Xiao Lan'er walked over and said, "Just wear this one, this is what Miss wore when she first met General Qin." ”
"That's what I thought too...... Cai Yan snatched the purple skirt and said, "Come and help me, the general is coming soon." ”
……
Qin Feng came to Cai's mansion and went to the main hall after Cai Lin's greeting.
When Cai Yong saw it, he got up, but he thought of something, so he sat down.
This old guy ....... Qin Feng smiled secretly, then lowered his face, walked into the hall, and said coldly: "Mr. Cai, Qin Feng has come to fulfill the two-year covenant, calculate the time, and it will be more than half a year early. ”
Cai Yong was embarrassed when he heard this, got up and said, "Zijin Xian's nephew, don't mention this matter again......." ”
Qin Feng smiled, and felt that this matter was still over the point, after all, it was his father-in-law, if he was forced to be in a hurry, he really had no choice if he didn't marry his daughter. He smiled and said: "Old Cai, Qin Feng has completed the original agreement, I don't know when I will be able to marry Wen Ji?" ”
Cai Yong breathed a sigh of relief, a son-in-law like Qin Feng couldn't find it with a lantern. is not only brave in martial arts, but also quite literate, and more importantly, he has a relationship with his daughter. He is such a precious daughter, how can he not agree. "Zijin Xian nephew, don't be in a hurry at ......this time."
When Qin Feng heard this, his face turned cold.
Cai Yong hurriedly said: "Zijin Ru is the captain of the school, and you can't be hasty with my Cai family, you must know that there are "six rites" in ancient times, and you need to follow the ....... Cai Yong's head was sweating, and he said in his heart that this kid is a lieutenant of Sili, why is he still frizzy, and he will turn his face when he says it!
"Six Rites?" , Qin Feng scolded secretly. In fact, you can't blame him, if you get married in the future, it will take half an hour to get a certificate.
Cai Lin on the side hurriedly helped and said, "General, you should send a matchmaker to propose marriage to the master." It doesn't make sense for you to come with a gift in person. It must be known that the master is everyone in the world, and many families are watching. If you are too sloppy, it will also be detrimental to your reputation...... ”
Qin Feng was embarrassed when he heard this, and secretly said that it was really troublesome to marry a daughter-in-law in ancient times.
In fact, marrying a wife is a cumbersome matter, and it is much simpler to take a concubine.
He said, "In this case, I will send a matchmaker to come tomorrow with gifts." Old Cai, I wonder if I can let Qin Feng and Miss Cai Yan meet? ”
"It's ......, it's okay, you can go by yourself. However, after Nacai, it is absolutely impossible to zaijian. "In ancient times, men and women were not allowed to meet before marriage, Cai Yong was very polite, zuihou said.
So Qin Feng came to the inner house, and when he saw Cai Yan, he smiled.
"General, Cai Yan is polite." Cai Yan Fuli said.
Xiao Lan'er hurriedly saluted, walked out of the room with a smile, and closed the door.
Qin Feng hurriedly walked over and hugged Cai Yan into his arms. After half a salary, he said: "I personally came to the door to ask for relatives this time, but your father has to say what six courtesies, it seems that it will take a long time." ”
Cai Yan was shy, looked up at him, and said, "My husband is still famous all over the world, I will always wait, waiting for that day to come......." ”
Qin Feng kissed him deeply.
In ancient times, marriage paid attention to the "six rites", one Nacai, two questions, three Naji, four Naji, five invitations, and six greetings. The family is even more troublesome, and each item has to be prepared for a long time. And according to the etiquette system, the parties are not allowed to meet each other before marriage.
Therefore, Qin Feng handed over these mundane affairs to Zhou Shan to take care of.
Two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and he has come to the Sili Captain's Department every morning to walk around, and then he will return to Yiyongzhuang to train his own soldiers and horses. At this time, the trapped camp has expanded to 1,500 people. Such a heavy cavalry force consumed seventy-seven eighty-eight of the money accumulated by Qin Feng during this period of time.
The combat strength of this army is undoubted, but fortunately, Qin Feng is the captain of Si Li, and he sent it in the name of a caravan escort. If others had such a cavalry, they would have been encircled and suppressed by the imperial court long ago.
On this day, Qin Feng came to the Sili Lieutenant Department again early in the morning. I saw more than 100 people bustling and gathered not far away. This place is where the various halls of the imperial court are located, and so many people have gathered, it is obvious that that one hall has made a big move.
He sent Zhang Ping, an officer of the guards, to inquire.
After a while, Zhang Ping came back and said, "My lord, it is the Ten Standing Servants who have summoned these superintendents to come. ”
"Oh?" Qin Feng rode on the horse and touched his beard and pondered for a while. In order to expand their power, the Ten Standing Servants also established a hall outside the palace. These postal supervisors are all people who are responsible for supervising counties and townships in various counties, and they are summoned, and they don't need to think about it to know that it is these eunuchs who are going to make money.
"Huh!" Qin Feng suddenly thought of a classic episode of the Three Kingdoms period, "Angry Whip Supervising Post", he smiled slightly, and said, "Go and ask, and call me the superintendent in charge of Zhongshan County." ”
Zhang Ping hurriedly went again, and soon brought a fat superintendent.
"Lord Sili is above, and the lower official Zhongshan County Governor is here, see the ...... of your Excellency." The chubby overseer bowed humbly to the ground and kowtowed. He wondered in his heart, why did the captain call me here, could it be that I was going to have good luck!
Qin Feng dismounted and went to help him in person.
The superintendent was excited, and after getting up, he kept bowing, not daring to straighten his waist, and said: "It's really a pain in the ranks." This person is also shrewd, and said hurriedly: "If the captain has any orders, he will not give ......." ”
"I see that your Yin Hall is black, and I am afraid that there will be a disaster in the near future, so come with me." Qin Feng said with a smile.
The postmaster was astonished, I have woe! Frightened, he followed.
Qin Feng said, "So so...... There is a county lieutenant named Liu Bei ...... in Zhongshan County, and if you can't complete the order of the permanent servant, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Therefore thou shalt be like this...... Beware of his third brother's ....... ”
The little eyes of the superintendent were round, his eyes were rolling, and he nodded his head frequently.
Half a month later, when the superintendent arrived in Anxi County, he saw three people at the city gate to greet him. One of them had his ears hanging down his shoulders, another had a face like a heavy jujube, and the other had a leopard's head and eyes. "Master Si Li's captain is really clever, this time he must ......."
