What is unexpected joy?

Shang Kexi's wife Liu and her son Shang Zhixin surrendered to the Huai Army with their families in Haizhou. This was a surprise.

Due to the obstruction of the sea, Lu Si, who was far away in Xuzhou, only learned about this on the 24th day after the breaking of Haizhou City. It was already the third day of the March.

"Li Huajing asked someone to escort Liu and Shang Kexi's sons across the sea. He may have arrived in Dengzhou. He asked Dengzhou to send people to Xuzhou in the name of the governor's office, and ordered the places along the way to treat Liu's courtesy."

"The family of the Han army in Shang Kexi's army should also be ordered to be sent to Shandong to avoid any trouble. After these families move here, people can contact Shang Kexi, either surrender, alienate, or provoke, and take the initiative in our Huai Army."

Lu Si nodded in agreement and asked Jia Hanfu to tell Chen De about the news that Shang Kexi's family had been caught in one fell swoop, that is, the guy who tied up Kong Youde's wife's daughter, so that this guy can make substantial progress in recruiting the Han army's surrender work.

"After the Seventh Town entered Liaodong, as the governor expected, the Manchus had almost no troops left outside the pass, so the Seventh Town was progressing very smoothly. Now it has been in Jin, and has been in danger of several states in the sea, and has formed an attack on Liaoyang and Shengjing. In addition, Li Huajing also divided his troops to plunder Guangning and Jinzhou...."

"Shi Shuai Shen said that there are many Han people in Liaodong and cannot be treated as the people of the enemy country. Simply slaughtering them will instead make these Han people go to Manchuria. Therefore, it is recommended that apart from the Dongjiang River and Denglai migration part of them can be concentrated in Fuzhou and Jinzhou, and they will still be ordered to farm and use Jin Fulushun as the base of the seventh town. In this way, even if the Qing army in the pass returns to the gate, the seventh town can confront the Qing army and hold them back..."

Jia Hanfu handed the good news sent by Li Huajing to the blind man Shen who had just arrived in Xuzhou. The latter laughed awkwardly and said in embarrassment: "I can recognize this thing, but I can't recognize it. Tell them to see it, and tell them to see it."

Shen Xiaozi came to Xuzhou to drink the governor's wedding banquet on behalf of the Huai Army's "Tongtai Group", which is the third town.

When my son is about to get married, I must tell him and his relatives at home.

Lu Youwen, who had been recuperating in Yangzhou, grinned happily when he heard that his son wanted to ask for his wife. Then he heard that his daughter-in-law was the princess of the Ming Dynasty's palace. What a good guy, he couldn't stop smiling.

Lu Si's uncle Lu Youcai, and his second uncle Lu Youfu was also happy. He specially bought a car of paper money to pull the third Lu Youwen to send "good news" to his ancestors.

Because the ancestral tomb was in Yancheng, Brother San was facing his hometown at the north gate of Yangzhou, drew a large circle on the ground with a stick, and then placed the paper money on the car in this circle. Before burning, he also said a few words to the ancestors of the Lu family, so that there was no need to worry about the "good news" sent by other wild ghosts to snatch it away.

Lu Si’s wedding date is also given by Brother San.

It's not casual, it's very particular.

The brother asked the famous fortune teller of Yangzhou "Chang Erxian" to calculate the three-fold fortune teller. It was both the birth date and the yin and yang of the celestial calendar. Finally, "Chang Erxian" was given April 12th, saying that that day was the best day in the first half of the year. As long as you gather your wife into the house on April 12th, you will definitely have children in the coming year.

The second immortal Chang also told the story of the great commander-in-chief of the Huai Army, and then told the Lu family that the third brother of the Lu family is not good. The birth date of the governor Lu is the reincarnation of the spiritual turtle, and he will be extremely rich in the future.

My brother gave me an extra 30 taels of reward, and I really don’t feel sorry for selling my baby.

Lu Si heard that his family had made April 12th, so he was really depressed because this day was not good. But if he wanted to be together, he could not just ignore them because of the taboo, so he decided that day.

The governor's wedding must be grand and lively.

In addition to the soldiers who went out to war and those who had to take charge, the Huai Army towns and local officials under their rule must come to congratulate them.

How to do the wedding? Old rules and new rules, and there are too many traditional Chinese and literary trivial matters. Lu Si could not pay attention to it, so he handed over the important task of his wedding host to Gao Qifeng, the Ming Dynasty eunuch who was praised as "my Liu Bowen" by his broken house in his hometown.

Since Eunuch Gao called Baoying to assist the young governor Lu Guangyuan, he was neglected for a while. So when he heard that the governor handed over his lifelong affairs to him, his fair face was so clear that he wrinkled several layers.

For eunuchs, it is their job to do private affairs for the lord.

Before coming out to supervise the army, Eunuch Gao was the chief supervisor of the internal official and was clear about the rules in the palace.

Asking him to host a wedding is also a professional counterpart.

As the saying goes, the elder brother is a father and the King of Zhou is not here, and his sister's marriage must be handled by Zhu Shaojiong, the elder brother. But everyone in the Zhou royal family escaped, so how could he have money to buy a dowry for his sister? And the sister married the Grand Governor of the Huai Army. How many people will stare at him? If there is not even a dowry in the Zhou royal family, what will be lost is not only the face of the Zhu family, but also the face of the Huai Army.

Just when Zhu Shaojiong was in a dilemma, the general of the governor, General Li Qifeng, found him and without saying a word, he stuffed a box of pearls he had treasured into Zhu Shaojiong's hands, saying that he had been a minister of the Ming Dynasty after all, and now that Princess Zhou is married, he, like this, has to express his feelings.

This box of pearls is really a good thing. It is big and round in size, and it looks very priceless at first glance. Zhu Shaojiong was moved to hold Li Qifeng's hand tightly and didn't know what to say.

Li Qifeng really sincerely helped her old boss. She had no other intentions. Zhuzhen bowed her farewell when she gave it out, and didn't even drink a cup of tea from the Zhou Wang family.

He is noble and admirable.

While moved, Zhu Shaojiong thought about selling these pearls for some money so that he could buy his sister's dowry, but before he could find an expert to take action, many people came to visit him.

Some of these people have been officials of the Ming Dynasty in the past, some have the Huai Army's roots and the Miaohong Rebels, some have local gentry, some have local gangs to recruit, and some have businessmen...

The status is different, but the purpose is the same. They are all provided timely assistance to the Zhou royal mansion in trouble! In short, there are still people who give gifts to Zhu Shaojiong until now.

Even Zheng Yuanxun, the prefect of Yangzhou, and Zheng Biao, the prefect of Huai'an, all sent people to send gifts.

Two houses were specially opened in the temporary house where everyone in the Zhou royal palace lived to pile up gifts from these people, and even more, they were afraid that there would be more than 10,000 taels of gold and silver.

It seemed like overnight, the Zhou Palace became widespread again.

"Uninary tide!"

After hearing that the civil and military officials of the Huai Army Group spontaneously gave gifts to Zhu Shaojiong, Lu Si was very angry and believed that the atmosphere was very bad. If it was not stopped, it would definitely evolve into a corrupt trend in the future, and even became a sugar-coated cannonball for the fallen and corruption of the Huai Army soldiers.

It was Jia Hanfu and the others who persuaded the governor to do a grand wedding immediately, and there was no need to panic the Zhou royal palace for the gifts given by the people below.
