Chapter 15: The Great Wedding
Talking to Wu Tianzheng, Wangcai knocked on the door, came in and said, "Master, the dowry has arrived, sixty-four halls, and the hall is wonderful." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info silk satin, ginseng jewelry, are available. ”
"Oh, it seems that the Ortai family takes me very seriously. You go and reward the dowry, and then use it all for military expenses for future use. ”
Yang Meng said.
Wu Tian hurriedly said, "Brother Meng, what are you doing here?" How can you use your sister-in-law's dowry as military expenses? That's something for the imperial court to consider. ”
"You are all my brothers, brothers in life and death, I must take care of you, how much silver can the court take? Let me tell you the truth, the treasury of the imperial court is very empty, and the eighth master told me today that he can only give me 100,000 taels of silver, which is not enough for start-up funds at all. ”
Yang Meng said.
"What? Only give 100,000 taels? Brother Meng, if we want to build a gun, we will have to pay a lot of money, and the brothers' settling-in allowance, which must be given in advance, and the 100,000 taels are too picky. ”
Wu Tian scolded.
The Expeditionary Force is different from the previous Manchu Qing Army, because this is an expedition to a bad country, and life and death are uncertain, so this settlement fee is issued in advance, 200 taels of silver per person.
In this way, before the hundred thousand taels of silver are hot, more than half of them have to be sold.
The rest of the money is going to be difficult to create Yang Meng's improved Lianzhu Fire Hammer.
"Don't say it, do what I tell you to do, money, it's something outside the body, as long as there is a strong army, you can't get money in the future?"
Yang Meng said.
"Okay then, Brother Meng, then I'll go first, and when I find that Dai Duo, I will definitely make a fire gun, and when the time comes, it will be ready for the army."
After Wu Tian finished speaking, he left the Yang Mansion.
---------------------------- dividing line-------------------------
The next day, Yang Meng prepared and went to his father-in-law's house, and the bride had to pick it up in person.
Riding a tall horse, with a welcoming team, blowing and beating, Yang Meng came to his father-in-law's house at Edual.
Judging from the specifications of the reception, Odul is still very satisfied with Yang Meng's son-in-law, and he was crowned a general in his twenties.
Yang Meng and the welcoming team were eating and drinking, waiting for the bride to say goodbye to her parents and ancestors, Yang Meng vaguely heard his wife-to-be crying, and later heard his father-in-law and mother-in-law saying "good husband and son in the husband's house".
After about half an hour, the bride was finally sent out, got on the sedan chair, Yang Meng led the way in front, and the welcoming team rushed to Yang's house.
Back at Yang's house, Yang Meng kicked open the sedan door, Yang Meng's sister-in-law Yang Chen came over to support the bride Ruolan, and the bridal girl Qiao'er held Ruolan's other hand.
Seeing the bride's real body, Yang Meng's mood is good, very good, this is the first time to see the bride, Yang Meng feels that he has a good figure, he looks slim, and the voice he heard before is okay, even if it is a little different, it is okay.
Walking into the gate of Yang's Mansion and stepping over the brazier, the bride and groom came to the lobby.
After the wedding master of ceremonies sings 'one worship to heaven and earth, two to worship the high hall, and husband and wife to worship', the bride and groom are sent to the cave room.
Of course, Yang Meng still has to come out to accompany the guests, it stands to reason that this feudal marriage is very exquisite, but Yang Meng doesn't do this, the bride has to wait stupidly for the groom to come back, and before that, she is not allowed to eat.
But Yang Meng feels sorry for his daughter-in-law, the wedding banquet has only started now, and he has to eat for at least a few hours, plus Ruolan has not eaten a drop of water since she got up today, so she must not be hungry? Therefore, Yang Meng directly prepared some snacks for Ruolan.
"Madam, we don't have so many rules in our family, and I don't believe so much, you eat this plate of peanuts, melon kernels, and candy first, and when I finish dealing with my relatives and friends, I will come back and take care of you."
Yang Meng said.
"Thank you, master, but this rule, the concubine still has to abide by it, and I hope that the master will go early and return early."
Ruolan said softly.
It seems that this feudal etiquette is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Ruolan's brain has long been taught badly.
Yang Meng was a little depressed, and called Qiao'er to whisper: "You take good care of your young lady for a while, if you see her body trembling, hurry up and give her something to eat, otherwise the master will ask for you!" ”
"Master, this, well, the slave obeys."
Qiao'er agreed in embarrassment.
Yang Meng smiled and pointed to the kitchen, and then came out to meet the guests.
The guests who came here today were basically important members of the imperial court, even Mingzhu, Li Guangdi, Gao Shiqi and others all sent their sons to attend the wedding.
Yang Meng was named the general of the prisoner by Kangxi, which is not light, in the spirit of friendship, the thoughts of officials of all sizes are clearly revealed, and some people even come uninvited.
This made the housekeeper Wangcai smile very brightly, but he received a lot of gift money, giving cash, cash, silver, jewelry, rarity, calligraphy and painting, etc.
And Brother Litou, the third brother Yinzhi, the fifth brother Yinqi, the ninth brother Yinyu, and the tenth brother Yinshu came over in person, which gave Yang Meng enough face.
Yang Meng secretly took a pothos to give the decanting pill, and took the lead to the table of the brothers.
"The third master, the fifth master, the ninth master, the tenth master, how can he be a lowly man, but the four of them are also here, beyond words, this can of wine, the lowly job!"
Yang Meng raised the small wine jar in his hand and poured it directly into his mouth.
The aroma of wine overflowed, and the four elder brothers clapped their hands one after another.
"Good! General Yang is really bold! Drink this wine well! ”
Yinzhi slapped the table and applauded loudly.
"The third master praised it falsely, he was a lowly martial artist, and he would not do anything else except fight and drink. This jar of wine, the humble position is to thank a few masters for coming to watch the ceremony, and secondly, to wish a few masters a lot of blessings and good luck! ”
Yang Meng blew violently, and soon blew several elder brothers all over his body.
"General Yang, you first bloom in the inner courtyard, and then go out to conquer the evil country and defeat the ghosts, I am afraid that you will become an important minister in the court at that time, and when the time comes, don't ignore our few unpopular elder brothers."
The fifth elder brother Yinqi said.
The fifth master laughed, several masters are dragons and phoenixes among people, and they will definitely do something in the future. It's not a secret, if you go to a bad country, you will definitely conquer countless people, and if you are interested, you can cooperate and cooperate. ”
Yang Meng said.
This idea, he had already calculated, wherever the expeditionary force went, there must be no chickens and dogs left, and the captured materials, in addition to being directly consumed, had to find a way to exchange them for money.
The four people in front of them have a wide road, and it will be easy to do things when the time comes.
When the four elder brothers heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all had self-knowledge of the opportunity to win the heir, so this pursuit of money naturally became their main goal.
Although Fanbang is not as good as the central country, there are always valuable things, and the minds of the four elder brothers are completely moved.
"General Yang, since this has already been said, it can't be taken back. I'll take this job! Yinyu is an anxious person, and he said immediately.
"I took it too!"
"I'll take it too!"
"I'll take it!"
