Da Kui and Master Feng got off their horses. Master Feng stepped forward and slapped the door knocker. After a while, a servant in Tsing Yi came and opened the door. When he saw Da Kui in red robe behind Master Feng, he quickly bowed and stood up and said: "Little man
Ah Fu is a servant of the mansion, and Master Yin Zhou of Lin'an Mansion is already waiting in the front hall." Master Feng turned to Dakui and said, "My subordinate's expectation is good, please come to Master Zhang." He extended his hand to invite me.
Dakui stepped inside, and another servant led the way to the living room. In the hall, Lin'an Prefecture Yin Zhou Jihuai and Lin'an Weaving Li Tian were waiting for him. When they saw Dakui, they all raised their hands and said: "Your Majesty, Lin'an Prefecture Yin Zhou Jihuai, has seen Zhang
Sir." "I have met Lord Zhang when I came to Lin'an to weave Litian." Dakui chuckled and said, "Excuse me, sir, hehehe." Zhou Jihuai cupped his hands and said, "This mansion was given by King Wu.
The king has another message." As he said this, he took out a gold-gilded booklet from his sleeve, and a maid nearby had already brought a soft cushion and placed it in front of Da Kui's feet.
Zhou Jihuai opened the book and read: "Wu Wang ordered..." Hearing this, Dakui quickly lifted the hem of his robe and knelt down to listen to the king's order. "Zhang Aiqing Shunyuan and his party killed corrupt officials and saved the people. I am greatly relieved to hear this. Today I will give you a special reward."
A mansion with a thousand taels of gold and silver each to show the merits of loving you." Zhou Jihuai chuckled after reading the book and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhang." Da Kui stood up and returned the gift, and couldn't help but murmured in his heart: "So this is not a wedding for me.
What is it for?' Although he thought so in his heart, he said: "I should be in power for the people as I should be. This is the gift given to me by the King of Wu. I deserve it."
Zhou Jihuai smiled and said: "Master Zhang is being overly modest. The residence here was purchased with silver from the Lin'an government treasury. King Wu specifically ordered his official to handle the matter with full authority. He has already purchased all the necessary items for the house.
The details are all on the gift list. I wonder if Lord Zhang has seen it?" Da Kui nodded and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, you have taken the trouble." Zhou Jihuai chuckled and said, "Now that the delivery is completed, I will retire." Da Kui quickly persuaded him: "Second,
Sir, why don't you stay here and have a meal before leaving?"
Zhou Jihuai and Li Tian thanked him again and again, saying that they had official business and could not stay for a long time. After saying that, they turned around and went out. Dakui looked around the room and couldn't help but exclaimed: "How much does this house cost?" Master Feng laughed and said: "The gift list
It has been written on the letter that it costs 4,800 taels of silver, 1,300 taels of supplies for the house, and twenty servants and maids." Dakui couldn't help but exclaimed: "How much money do you spend?" Dakui knew it in his heart.
Ming, he sent nearly 100,000 taels of gold, silver, and jewels to the King of Wu. These few thousand taels were just kickbacks.
Dakui looked at the luxurious decoration of the living room and couldn't help but said: "I'm looking around, Master Feng, please sit here." Master Feng nodded and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, please help yourself."
Da Kui walked around after leaving the living room. The mansion is divided into three courtyards. The front yard is the living room and the wing room where the servants live, the middle yard is the east and west rows of wing rooms and the kitchen stables, and the backyard has two buildings adjacent to each other on both sides.
Each has several wing rooms. The entire mansion has a rockery and willow spring as its scenery, and is connected by secluded paths and corridors, leading to beautiful winding paths!
Da Kui wandered to the backyard and walked straight towards the two pavilions. At this time, he needed to take a look at the furnishings in the building. He didn't know if Huang Ying would like it. The key was to see where the new house should be located!
Under Master Feng's careful arrangements, the inside and outside of Zhang's house were all ready and ready for the wedding. Da Kui counted the days on his fingers every day. Yang Xiaohu and Pan Bu came to ask for martial arts lessons, but Da Kui also said a few words absent-mindedly.
The poem says: Infatuation travels thousands of miles to gain a heart, and it is a long and bumpy journey. Even if there are all difficulties, I am willing to do so. Who can listen to my heartfelt words?
Every time he thought of the scene with Huang Ying, Da Kui thought about it day and night and couldn't sleep at night. After all, it was the twelfth lunar month, and Da Kui was a little timid. When Master Feng saw it, he couldn't help but chuckle and persuade: "Mr. Zhang, please be safe."
Now that we are getting married, you need to gather your strength." Dakui just nodded in agreement, but he was extremely excited about getting married for the first time in his life.
Five days later, on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, it was finally the day to receive the bride. Early in the morning, Dakui wore a red robe with a jade belt around his waist, a square scarf and gauze crown on his head, and a red flower on his chest. This outfit was not an official uniform, but a jade belt.
It is a specially made groom's clothes. This is Da Kui's change into civilian groom's clothes according to Master Feng's wishes, which means that he is condescending to a noble family.
After leaving the house, there was already a wedding team of hundreds of people waiting outside the door. At the front of the team, two teams of red-clothed flag bearers, each with ten people holding high red and yellow flags, lined up on the left and right, followed by nearly a hundred people of drummers and trumpeters. After that, Yang
Xiaohu was wearing a blue satin robe with a slanted lapel and a silk ribbon at the waist. He was neatly dressed but also very handsome. However, Yang Xiaohu's duty today was to lead the horse. Today Hongyun seemed to be in high spirits after knowing that his master was getting married.
A large sedan with a red silk cover and eight carriages stopped behind the horse, followed by four maids and servants. At the end of the procession, Xu Yuan and Dong Hu led two teams of lion and dragon dancers to finish the battle. Because it was Da Kui who was getting married, Xu Yuan and Dong Hu
Both of them do not carry weapons, which means "those who have weapons are unlucky".
Da Kui got on the horse accompanied by Master Feng. Master Feng held up his hands and said, "I'm keeping an eye on the door at home and waiting for good news." Da Kui returned the favor with a smile, and Yang Xiaohu raised his voice and sang: "Get up the sedan~!" There was a roar of gongs and drums.
Firecrackers went off in unison, and the wedding procession headed towards Longping Mansion.
Huang Ying was now sitting in front of the dressing table, wearing a bright red wedding dress and a scarf draped over her shoulders. Her joy was beyond words. Two maids stood behind her and were dressing her up. Xiao Hong smiled and said: "Miss, you are so beautiful today. Keep Zhang Zhang."
My husband was dumbfounded." Huang Ying smiled shyly and said, "His nickname is Silly Dan, and he is actually stupid." When the two maids heard the words, their voices were like silver bells, and they covered their mouths and snickered.
At this time, Huang's mother went up to the embroidered building and walked into the room to come to her daughter. Huang Ying called out: "Mother". Huang's mother smiled and said, "Well, my daughter is getting married, so she needs to dress up well." Huang Ying lowered her head after hearing this.
Tears came: "My daughter is getting married today, and there will be no one to marry her in the future. Mother must take good care of her health." Huang's mother also shed tears and responded, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and burst into tears.
When the maid saw this, she panicked, and Xiaocui advised her: "Old madam, please don't delay any longer. Maybe the wedding team is coming soon, and my makeup is stained from crying and needs to be reapplied. I'm afraid it's too late."
When Huang's mother heard this, she quickly wiped her tears and said, "Look, I'm becoming more and more confused as I get older. Please hurry up and help the young lady put on her makeup. I'll go to the front hall to take care of her." Huang Ying called out sadly: "Mother."
The mother smiled and said: "Silly boy, be obedient." After saying that, she turned around and went downstairs. As soon as Huang's mother left, the two maids complained: "Look, the young lady has to touch up her makeup when she cries! Hurry up, hurry up..."
"While saying that, the two maids were in a hurry again...
