Li Xiaotong sat in the main seat on the left side of the hall, and Gui Liang sat in the main seat on the right. The two people represented the heads of the Li family and the Gualjia family. It was natural that they discussed Li Zhen's marriage together. As the admiral and governor of Guangdong, Li Xiaotong The adults can only sit down and listen to Guiliang and Li Xiaotong talking.
Guiliang said calmly: "Hongyi and Zhilan have already set a wedding date and cannot live together for the time being. I bought a house in the city and took Zhilan away temporarily. I will give Zhilan to Hongyi on the day of the wedding. "
Li Xiaotong nodded and said: "This is reasonable, but the young couple are inseparable and have never been separated. It must be a bit uncomfortable to leave suddenly now. Let my brother go to the backyard to talk to Zhilan. What do you think?"
Guiliang didn't stop him and agreed directly.
Li Zhen got up and left, heading towards Zhilan's yard. Zhilan was talking to Dafujin. She already knew about the temporary separation from Li Zhen. She felt a touch of sadness and joy in her heart. Dafujin saw Li Zhen walking in. Without saying anything, he stood up and walked towards the front hall, leaving the space for Li Zhen and Zhi Lan.
The two people were staring at each other in the courtyard, with deep affection in their eyes.
Li Zhen must have liked Zhilan in his heart. He had already fallen in love with this girl. Zhilan chased her from Beijing to Shanghai, and then followed Li Zhen from Shanghai to Guangzhou. Even the stubborn girl was enlightened.
The two hugged each other and talked softly.
An hour later, Guiliang sent someone to tell Zhilan to leave, but Li Zhen reluctantly sent Zhilan away.
In the hall.
Seeing Li Zhen's listlessness, Li Xiaotong smiled and joked: "Brother, September 25th will be here in a flash. It will be very soon. Look at your reluctance to give up. It's like Guiliang took Zhilan away and refused to let her go." It’s like coming back.”
Li Zhen retorted: "No way, I'm just not used to it."
Li Xiaotong smiled and saw Ye Chengzhong walking in from outside the hall.
Ye Chengzhong saluted Li Zhen and Li Xiaotong and said: "Sir, a fat man named Liu Tiezhu came from outside the house. Liu Tiezhu said that he was a chef and volunteered to bring a team of cooks to cook for your marriage."
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.
When he got married, a cook came to his house for free. It was really great. Li Zhen didn't find it strange, but Li Xiaotong stood up in confusion and asked again: "Xiaoye, are you sure the person outside is Liu Tiezhu?"
Ye Chengzhong nodded affirmatively and said, "It's Liu Tiezhu, there's nothing wrong with him."
Li Xiaotong waved his hand and said: "Quick, please come in immediately."
Ye Chengzhong turned and left, and Li Zhen asked: "Sister, is there anything surprising about Liu Tiezhu?"
Li Xiaotong said: "You are so ignorant that you don't even know Liu Tiezhu. Liu Tiezhu's grandfather and father were both palace chefs. The royal chefs in the palace are very skilled. Liu Tiezhu has learned the true inheritance from his grandfather and father since he was a child. He is better than his masters and has become a chef." A well-known chef, many people go to Liu Tiezhu for weddings or weddings, but it may not work. My original plan was to go to Liu Tiezhu, but I didn't expect that he would come by himself. If Liu Tiezhu helps you cook, you will definitely get a lot of praise."
Li Zhen suddenly realized that Liu Tiezhu was a cooking god.
Not long after, Ye Chengzhong walked in with a fat man in his thirties. This fat man was Liu Tiezhu. According to Li Zhen's visual inspection, Liu Tiezhu was about 1.75 meters tall, but he had a round waist and broad shoulders, and he definitely weighed more than two hundred kilograms. , when Liu Tiezhu saw Li Zhen, he immediately raised his hands and said: "Liu Tiezhu, a common man, has met your Excellency."
Li Zhenxiao said: "Master Liu, no need to be polite, please sit down."
Liu Tiezhu sat down in the hall, still a little uneasy, but there was a faint excitement in his eyes.
The admiral in front of me is indeed approachable.
An ordinary 'Master Liu' made Liu Tiezhu feel like he was drinking honey.
Li Xiaotong smiled softly and said: "Brother Liu, on the day of my brother's wedding, it will definitely not be handled by dozens of tables. There may be hundreds of tables, or even more. Can Brother Liu and the people below be busy?"
Liu Tiezhu patted his chest with his fat hands and said proudly: "Miss Li, don't worry, besides me, there are ten other chefs, all of whom are the most famous in Guangzhou. We are eleven chefs, plus our respective apprentices." , Disciples and the like can be made even with three days of running water. Guangzhou has produced a good official like Mr. Li, and we are all proud. When Mr. Li gets married, we will definitely arrange it properly for you."
After hearing this, Li Zhen felt grateful and knew that the flood incident had made him famous far and wide.
Li Zhen also lamented the simplicity of the people. He only did a very simple thing, but what he got far exceeded his efforts. Li Zhen and Liu Tiezhu chatted about daily life, and agreed to prepare for the wedding banquet on September 23 before sending them off. Liu Tiezhu.
Just as Liu Tiezhu left, three more businessmen came.
Among the three, one sells vegetables, one sells meat, and one sells grain. The three of them have the same purpose as Liu Tiezhu, which is to provide Li Zhen with grain, vegetables, and meat for free to ensure the food supply for Li Zhen to get married. Li Zhen is considering getting married. There must have been more than a few hundred tables that day, and even if they wanted to make a running table, they said they would give the three people capital to prevent them from losing money. After all, Liu Tiezhu relied on his own skills and did not need to spend money. However, the three businessmen in front of him were different. It requires countless amounts of money to make up for it, and it is definitely a loss-making business.
As soon as Li Zhen said it, he was immediately unanimously opposed by the three people.
In the end, Li Zhen had no choice but to agree.
After seeing off the three people, Li Zhen returned to the hall and said with emotion: "Sister, we have the chef, food, vegetables and meat, so there should be nothing left. Thank you very much to these folks."
As soon as Li Zhen finished speaking, Ye Chengzhong reported that the tailor who made the groom's clothes had arrived, and a special team for welcoming the bride had also arrived. After hearing this, Li Zhen was even more emotional. He didn't expect these people to think so carefully.
He just needs to wait for September 25th to welcome his bride.
Li Zhen sent the visitors away with good words. In the evening, the Admiral's Mansion became completely quiet. Li Xiaotong sat aside with a faint smile on his face and said softly: "If father and mother can see How happy you must be to have such a glorious marriage, but it's a pity that they left without seeing you."
When Li Zhen spoke, Li Xiaotong continued: "Judging from the current situation, the people in Guangzhou City have made preparations for your wedding. Even if it is to hold a flowing banquet, I am afraid it will not work for three days and three nights. Besides, the space around the Admiral's Mansion is limited. , it can’t accommodate so many people, what are you thinking about.”
Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The people are interested, and I certainly can't refuse. Let's do it this way. The Admiral's Mansion holds a banquet, and invites people with status and status. This is the main banquet. At the same time, in the north of the city, We have set up banquets at four locations in the west, east and south of the city to entertain the people. What do you think, sister?"
Li Xiaotong's eyes lit up and he said: "This is a good idea. It not only satisfies the people's desire to celebrate their younger brother, but also allows people with status and status to participate. Let me handle this matter."
After finishing speaking, Li Xiaotong stood up and left to prepare for the next banquet.
ps: The second update, the wedding march, is a bit exaggerated, haha.
