Chapter 397 Quanzhou Big Wedding
February 24 is suitable for marriage and travel.

In the city of Quanzhou, in the streets and alleys, the common people competed to cheer, and the flow of people was like a tide.

A few merchants who came here especially for the name, when they first arrived in Quanzhou, they thought they had encountered some special festival in Quanzhou.

A few people will disembark and go westward from the main road, when suddenly a strong smell of meat hits them, they can't help salivating, their appetites are whetted, they smell the smell and leave, they see a restaurant, the strong smell of meat comes from the restaurant It came from the front.

"Staff, your stewed meat is so delicious!" The leader, a 25-year-old strong man, straightened his nose, smiled on his face, and kept glancing into the store.

"I'll tell you the truth, my meat, you've tried it all over the whole of Quanzhou, and you can't find a second one!" The waiter was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old doll with yellow hair on his mouth that hadn't faded. A towel and a smile on his face.

"What's the name of your meat?" The head of the strong man asked curiously.

"Guest officer, please, let the villain speak to you slowly!" The waiter bowed and threw his handkerchief, and greeted him sideways with a smile on his face.

"I'm about to try it!" The strong man walked in front and strode into the store.

It's only Si time now, and it's not yet time for dinner, so there are not many customers in the shop.

"Xiao Er, bring up ten catties of your stewed meat, and a jar of good wine!"

"Okay!" The smile on the waiter's face became brighter, and Dang Lian greeted the kitchen loudly: "Ten catties of cooked meat, a jar of good wine!"

"Guest officer, sit down for a while, the wine and meat will be here soon!"

But the head of the strong man called Xiao Er who lived in the shop, and asked the doubts in his heart: "Xiao Er, I want to ask you something, isn't it a festival today, why is every house in the city decorated with lanterns and festoons, is it so lively?"

Xiaoer sized up a few people and said with a smile, "The guest officials either just came back after going out for a long time, or they are coming to Quanzhou for the first time!"

"Oh? What else can't be said here?" The strong man asked curiously.

The waiter said: "If all of you are in Quanzhou these days, you will naturally know that today is the day of great joy for Mr. Wang Tongjue in Quanzhou! The common people are grateful for the kindness of Tongjuan, and since the day before yesterday, they have spontaneously spread the word in the city. Lanterns and streamers, congratulations to Wang Tong on the verdict!"

"But that Wang Tongpan who created the wonderful method of drying salt?" the brawny man asked immediately.

"We only have one general judge in Quanzhou, and there is no one else!"

"Several guest officials are lucky today. The Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce sent people here the day before yesterday. In order to congratulate Wang Tong, all the teahouses and restaurants in the city today will be credited to the account of the Chamber of Commerce even if they serve wine and meat. Someone will come to settle the settlement.”

"Is there such a good thing?" The strong man and his companions were very surprised.

But the waiter in the shop explained with high spirits: "What is this? If there is no Wang Tongpan, how can our Quanzhou be where it is today, not to mention these shops in the city, even the people in our city of Quanzhou are not afraid to read it. Judgment to Ender!"

While talking, the waiter in the shop sighed, and said with some regret: "If Tong Tong Pan didn't allow it, we would have set up a shrine for Tong Pan and worshiped it every day!"

"Oh?" The brawny man became more and more curious, looking at the waiter in the shop, he couldn't wait to ask: "Is there anyone in the world who doesn't want others to offer incense to him in the Lisheng Temple?"

The shop waiter said: "Wang Tongpan said that the purpose of serving as an official is to govern the place and make the people's lives rich, not for the incense and sacrifices. For the nephew, let the old have something to support and have little to rely on, and buy more meat for the wife, children, old and young, which is far better than setting up a shrine for him."

The brawny man and his companions were really shocked by what the shop waiter said. People in this world have worked hard for half their lives and devoted all their energy to fame and fortune, but this Wang Tongpan behaved completely differently.

"To tell the truth, my brother, we brothers just heard about Wang Tongpan's name, so we came all the way here, hoping to get a job in Quanzhou." The strong man didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly rushed The shop clerk clasped his hands and asked, "I don't know if the little er brother can give you some pointers?"

The waiter looked at the strong man's tall and thick body, and said, "That depends on what the guest officer wants to do!"

"What else can't be said?" The strong man asked.

The waiter said: "If you want to join the army, you can sign up if you go north from the wharf. You only need to be clean! If you want to go to sea to do business, you can go to the Ship Office in the south. If you don't have capital, you can go to various companies. If you want to do farming , you can go to the Jinjiang county government office in the city, if you want to buy a field, there is a dental shop next to the city gate..."

······
In Jinjiang city, the royal residence.

Although Wang Chong didn't make any big announcements, the officials, gentry and wealthy households in Quanzhou came to congratulate him one after another, but before the end of the day, Wang Zhong was staggered into the inner courtyard by Yu Chuer's support, to entertain the guests. Naturally, it was entrusted to Chen Jun, Wang Zhong's good superior and also Quanzhou's parent officer.

Inside the new house, Ming Lan, dressed in new clothes, with a phoenix crown on her head, and holding a round fan, heard the sound of the door opening, and suddenly became nervous. Carefully looking towards the door like a thief.

Wang Zhong, who was wearing a bright red groom's suit and a jade crown, smelled of alcohol, opened the curtain and walked into the inner room. As soon as Wang Zhong appeared, his clear eyes collided with Ming Lan's. Lan Qiao blushed a little, and hurriedly raised the round fan to cover her face.

A pair of big red candles were burning on the table, and the red clothes on his body contrasted with the green clothes on the bed, making him look very pleasing. Wang Zhong has long been married and had many women, but today he is like this. It was the first time to carry a big sedan chair to marry a daughter-in-law, and there was a different feeling in my heart.

Walking quickly to the side of the bed, the round fan in Ming Lan's hand followed Wang Zhong's movement, keeping between them all the time.

Wang Zhong raised his hand to grab the slender hand holding the round fan, took off the round fan, and put it aside, looking at Ming Lan's delicate face, Wang Zhong smiled softly, and called out: "My lady!"

"Officer!" Minglan's face instantly became flushed, she lowered her head in shame, not daring to look at Wang Zhong, and replied softly.

"From today onwards, Sixth Sister is my Wang family!" Wang Zhong's address suddenly changed.

"Ah?" Minglan couldn't help being stunned for a moment when she heard the words, she raised her head and looked at Wang Zhong, as if she was asking why she suddenly called her sixth younger sister again.

Wang Zhong seemed to see the doubts in Ming Lan's heart, and while taking off the phoenix crown on Ming Lan's head, he said with a smile, "I think it's better for Sixth Sister to speak more easily!"

"Officials, don't make fun of my concubine's identity!" Ming Lan turned sideways and said.

Wang Zhong suddenly possessed him and picked Minglan up by the waist. He also stood up. Minglan was startled and quickly put her arms around Wang Zhong's neck. She seemed to have thought of something, and instantly her little head was spinning. Shrunk like a quail.But what he expected didn't happen. Wang Zhong carried Minglan to the table and sat down. Then he said to the outside: "Come in!"

As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, several female envoys pushed the door open and came in, holding trays in their hands, in which were fragrant rice and several steaming dishes.

"After a day of tossing around, Sixth Sister must be hungry, let's have some food first, and then get down to business!"

Minglan was still a little shy, but she was indeed hungry. Although Wang Zhong arranged for someone to bring food over at noon, it was not the end of the day, and Minglan was already hungry.

After eating two bowls of rice, Minglan hiccupped in disappointment, then quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, and looked at Wang Zhong with some embarrassment.

Wang Zhong laughed, asked people to remove the food, and dragged Ming Lan to the bed. The pair of dragon and phoenix candles on the table were burning brightly, and the group of newcomers in the curtain were getting closer and closer.

It was already dark outside, and the guests were still drinking in the front hall, until the willow shoots dispersed one after another on the moon.

In the early morning of the next day, at Yin time, the newlyweds who were still warm in bed were woken up by the nanny, went to the back hall to worship their ancestors, offered incense and kowtowed to the parents and grandparents of Wang Zhong's body, and then the two went to see their eldest sister-in-law Wang Li and Sheng old lady.

The old lady Sheng saw that Minglan's complexion was not bad, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. As a woman, the old lady Sheng naturally knew the way, and Wang Zhong was in his prime, so the old lady Sheng was inevitably worried that Wang Zhong would not restrain himself, and dragged her grandson down. The daughter was tossing and tossing endlessly. Now it seems that Wang Zhong is a person who knows how to love her.

Feeling more and more satisfied with Wang Zhong, brothers Wang Qian'er and Wang Xu also came to visit the new aunt.

After some greetings, Mrs. Wang and Li asked someone to bring the food, and the whole family sat around the table, eating the exquisite breakfast and chatting.

"From now on, the lady is the eldest lady of the family, and the matter of housekeeping has to be put on the agenda. There are not many people in the family, and the house is also small. For the lady, it should be within reach!"

Wang Lishi also smiled and said: "What uncle said is that now that my sister is here, I can also free up my hands and focus more on the dyeing workshop! Lest Mrs. Wei keep saying that I am the shopkeeper who let go!"

"I haven't read any books. In the future, Sister Qian and Brother Xu will have to trouble my sister to help discipline me a lot!"

"It's all one family, Minglan will definitely do her best!" Minglan didn't say any excuses, and agreed directly.

"Then it's hard work for my sister! If they are disobedient, my sister can just use the family law! Don't be shy." When Wang Li said this, she still did not forget to wink at the pair of children.

The siblings immediately stood up and bowed to Minglan.

Old Madam Sheng was sitting beside her, watching Minglan getting along with Wang Zhong's family, she couldn't help feeling a little emotional, and many vague memories hidden in the depths of her mind emerged. The way she looked when she married into the Sheng family.

After breakfast, Mrs. Wang and Li went to Dyeingfang, Wang Qianer and Wang Xu went to Shushu, Wang remarried Yaner, so naturally he had to have a few days off, and Chen Jun took care of all the major and minor matters in the yamen. Chong then took old lady Sheng and Minglan out for a stroll.

Although it is only late February, due to its geographical location, Quanzhou is already full of vitality and flowers are in full bloom.

I don't know whether it's the intrigues in the inner house or the new place. Seeing that her granddaughter has a home, Mrs. Sheng's mood also improves. She can always see a smile on her face, and sometimes she laughs heartily. , very happy.

After only ten days in Quanzhou, my complexion became more rosy, and my body gradually became stronger.

Time passed day by day, and Ming Lan gradually got used to sharing the same bed with Wang Zhong. The couple were newly married, and it was time for honey to be sweetened. But nothing to say.

It's just a pain for Minglan. In the evening, she has to study with Wang Zhong how to pass on the family lineage to the Wang family and continue the incense. She has to go to pay her respects to Old Madam Sheng early in the morning. She can't sleep late every day, so she can only make up for it at noon.

On this day, Wang Zhong was in the yamen to deal with the official affairs of the Shipping Department, when Yu Chu Er suddenly came to report that there was a man outside the door who wanted to see Wang Zhong.

"That man looks quite impressive!" Yu Chuer said.

"I'd like to see what an unconventional method it is!" Hearing what Yu Chuer said, Wang Zhong immediately became interested, and immediately asked Yu Chuer to take him to the front hall, and he personally received him.

After a while, Wang Zhong was in the front hall and met the rather handsome man Yu Chuer had mentioned.

The man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with straw sandals under his feet. Although his clothes were simple, he was well-groomed, his hair was also quite neat, and he was very tall, even slightly taller than Wang Zhong. You know he is powerful.

"Grassman Niu Er, I have met the judge!" The strong man Niu Er clasped his fists at Wang Zhong and bowed in salute.

"Niu Er? Where are you from, and why do you want to find me?" Wang Zhong asked.

Niu Er said directly: "I am from Weizhou, and I came to Quanzhou by boat with my fellow countrymen. I heard about what Tongpan did in Quanzhou, and I admired it in my heart. I also heard that Tongpan was recruiting talented people, so I thought about coming here." Give it a try, see if you can be spotted by the general judge, and have a good future."

"You are straightforward!" Wang Zhong looked at the bull's head and said with a smile.

"I've always been straight, I don't know those twists and turns!" Niu Er looked like a reckless man.

Wang Zhong asked: "Look at you walking like a dragon and a tiger, and there are calluses on your hands and fingers. I wonder how good your martial arts are?"

"I have learned some sumo wrestling skills from my master, I know some guns and sticks, and I have never lost a fight with others. I can't get close to me with a dozen people. I used to work in the Western Army for a while, and I can't stand Shangguan. Because of the bird spirit, he simply left, and later wandered in the rivers and lakes, worked as a caravan guard, and killed many strong men who robbed the road, but he couldn't save money and couldn't find a wife. I heard that Tong San was a very powerful Characters, those people under your hands are all rich, so I just thought about coming here and defecting to the judge, earning more money, asking for a wife to come back, and inheriting the incense for my Lao Niu family. If I can have a future, then It would be even better." Niu Er's words were a bit rough, but not vulgar.

"As long as you have the ability, you don't have to worry about not being rich and having no future!" Niu Er's body alone is not comparable to ordinary people. He is only a little taller than Wang Zhong, but his body is three times stronger than Wang Zhong. one-third.

"Can I get a wife?" Niu Er looked at Wang Zhong and asked.

"As long as you have the ability, you will naturally get a wife!"
