Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 99 Wedding Ceremony

"Hey, that's different. The so-called people have no foreign wealth and are not rich, horses have no night and grass and are not fat. Anyone who looks at real money will be excited." Luo Min's carefree appearance is not without the intention of temptation; , You’re just as generous and style as the emperor. We remember that when Emperor Kangxi got married, the betrothal gift given to Heshe Lishi was 20,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver. This is a direct cost. There are also brocades. A thousand horses, forty steeds, 20 saddles, and a few other gold and silver objects. After all, these things are not inferior to you. Are you guilty of trespassing?"

   "Master Fantai, this joke is not funny." Li Fushou's face became cold.

  These words contain evil intentions, and the blade's edge is looming.

  Luo Min is really dog-faced, and it will change when he says it changes; “I’ll let my subordinates check if you don’t want to be a joke. Once it’s verified, your crime is not small!”

"Hey..." Li Fushou sneered twice, pointing his finger at the guards behind him; "My subordinates recognize guns but not people. Master Fantai had better control his subordinates and don't act rashly, otherwise they would accidentally hurt them. But it's not pretty."

  As soon as these words came out, the flower hall suddenly became silent.

Luo Min's face then cooled down, and said faintly; "Mr. Yuanding, it is better not to be too rampant for young people. You should let your elders teach you the principles of life, otherwise you will be careful not to leave Gusu City and die tragically. That would be a pity."

Gu Yanchuan next to    was waiting to come forward to complete the game, Li Fushou stood up with one hand to stop him, and then said to Luo Min;

"Politely call you Master Fantai. It seems that you have already forgotten a little bit. You have forgotten the greatness of Foreign Master. Let alone your subordinates who are greedy and greedy, even if your Lord Luomin is close to you, dare to stretch out. Chop your right hand with your right hand, chop your left foot if you dare to stretch your left foot, chop your head if you dare to stretch your head.

  It's so ridiculous, you dare to threaten me?

  Killing you is just like killing a dog. If you don’t believe it, you can try it. Will the military plane Zhang Jing of Beiping City come forward for you? Will Prince Baylor scream for you? "

  Speaking of which

  Li Fushou took the revolver handed by the guard, and directly put the cold muzzle on Luo Min's head, which caused the important officials in the flower hall to suddenly be in an uproar, and their faces changed horribly and backed away.

  "With a single tap of my finger, your head will explode like a watermelon. Are you interested in guessing, dare I shoot?"

  Luo Min was far less brave than he thought. When the cold muzzle was on his head, his face was as pale as paper, and his legs trembled like chaff.

   Persevering for less than a minute, he knelt on the ground with a plop; "Mr. Yuanding, please forgive me for nothing, please don't shoot!"

   "Hmph, it hasn't been many days since the Western army entered Peiping City. The royal garden was burned. It seems that the big guys have forgotten. What happened to the emperor's old man? Isn't it just holding his nose to bear it."

Li Fushou deliberately paused, letting all the important ministers of Jiangnan province take a good aftertaste, evoking a strong "foreign fear" in their hearts, and then realized that it was not a junior kid standing in front of him, but a hot newcomer in England. noble.

   "Brother Yanchuan, please save my life, Luo Min will never dare to be mad..." Luo Min saw Gu Yanchuan who had been stunned next to him, and hissed for help as if he saw the straw.

   "Yuanding, don't be impulsive."

  Gu Yanchuan saw Li Fushou’s cruelty today, and he rectified Luo Min, who had always been a domineering blessing in Gusu City, completely lost face. Like a bereaved dog, he felt extremely happy in his heart.

  I was worried that he would kill the opponent by mistake, that would really sting Da Louzi.

   "Okay, since Master Yue Zhang pleaded for you today, I will spare you a dog's life." Li Fushou slowly lowered the muzzle in his hand and watched Luo Min's cold sweaty face flashing a fierce light, and suddenly pulled the trigger.

  A dull gunshot of "click"

   Accompanied by Luo Min’s screams like killing a pig, he immediately frightened the high-ranking officials who had just relaxed, and their faces changed suddenly.

   Li Fushou hit Luo Min’s thigh with this shot, and blood poured out immediately, which made the two Ghoshha who were in Luo Min’s hall look at each other, and unanimously pulled out the shiny sabers in the waist.

   "Papa Papa..."

  After a series of intensive gunshots, the two Goshha twitched in a rain of bullets. They were drilled with dozens of blood holes and fell to the ground like rags and died.

  Silence, deathly silence...

  Only the air was filled with a heavy smell of gunpowder smoke, and a group of gun guards withdrew their shells and loaded them calmly, and filled the barrel of the gun with bullets again.

  Looking at this appearance, it is a posture of killing every one of them.

  Western Quick Gun finally evoked the "foreign fear" of a group of high-ranking officials. As the highest-ranking officer present, the governor Zuo Liangshan could only stand up and speak and clean up the mess.

   "Well...Mr. Yuan Ding, let's do it slowly, and let the old man say a word. Master Luo Min really said nothing about this matter, he now..."

Zuo Liangshan looked at Luo Min with his hands on his thighs, his face pale, and a large patch of blood was stained on the floor of the flower hall. It may be that Luo Min's slaughter shocked Luo Min. He hum, just like a pig screaming.

  In Zuo Liangshan's eyes, this scene is really exciting.

  The weakness in his heart came up for a while, and the foreigner shot the second-rank master with a gun.

  The current saint is young, and the queen dowager Lafayette who listens to the government is the one who fears foreigners most. As far as matters involving foreigners are involved, the queen dowager will have a headache when he hears it. Every important official of the court has to bear the anger, which is not a fake.

  Zuo Liangshan, as a member of Futai University, knew this well, as long as Luo Min didn't die, he could just fool around with this matter, and there was no way to pursue it.

"Cough cough..." Zuo Liangyu coughed dryly and said with a smile on his old face; "This is indeed Lord Luo Min's not. After all, the crime is not dying. Mr. Yuan Ding must not go to his heart. Later, the old man will order it. Luo Min prepared a generous gift and thanked him, but also hoped that on the thin face of the old man, his subordinates would forgive him."

  The words of Master Futai really surprised everyone in the flower hall.

  Dare to love Li Fushou with a gun and wounded the second-ranking master Fantai, and the Fantai master also apologized, thank you for your mercy.

  Zuo Liangshan was not in the mood to explain to others, how could these mediocre people know about the upper echelon of the court, he looked at Gu Yanchuan with begging eyes, and his purpose was self-evident.

  If he can persuade Mr. Yuanding to be present, I am afraid that his son-in-law is the only one.

   “Yuan Ding, today is a day of great joy, so don’t be upset about it!” Gu Yanchuan's heart was refreshed, and there was a kind of light in his eyebrows and eyes.

"Master Yuan Ding is forgiving. You can't kill me and dirty your hands. If you can leave me with a dog, the lower officials must prepare a generous gift to thank you..." Luo Min covered the wound with his hand, and he couldn't hold it anymore. .

  But when he saw the muzzle of the black hole, he still aimed at his chest, he could only hold on to move, but didn't dare to move, he felt very regretful in his heart;

  The opposite is a ruthless man. What did you do to offend him by committing a mess? Did you take too much medicine for rats?

  Under the repeated persuasion of everyone, Li Fushou's expression eased a little, and he threw the revolver in his hand to the guard, and said a word in a light tone; "Go away".

  Luo Min heard this as if he was amnesty, Zuo Liangshan dared to beckon, and asked Geshha, who was following him, to carry Luo Min away and quickly go to a good doctor for treatment.

  The bullet of the Western Quick Gun is poisonous if it is left in the flesh. It must be dug out to clean the wound, otherwise the gods will be difficult to save.

  After a thrilling experience, on this cold February day, the officials in the flower hall felt that their backs were covered with white hair sweat, chilling.

  Everyone is aware of a grim reality; the foreigners cannot offend.

Look at your identity and touch the top wear on your head. How can you surpass Master Fantai? But in the hands of Master Westerners, he is still like a chicken. If you shoot, you will shoot. It’s too scary. NS.

  The scene that took place in the Flower Hall was tightly blocked by the Gu mansion and ordered the subordinates not to leak any information, or they would be killed.

  If other officials present leaked it, then it has nothing to do with the Gu Mansion.

On this cold winter day, the grand scene of Gu’s marrying her daughter shocked the entire Gusu Mansion. The gold, silver, jade, silk, satin, and box full boxes of silver patterns were too visually impactful and aroused people’s infinite reverie. Become a legend that is talked about.

  Australia's gold rush became rich overnight. This myth once again spread throughout the southern Jiangsu and Jianghuai regions, causing a long-lasting wave of immigration. This is something later.

   February 10, 1879, the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

  It is suitable to start construction, open business, seek heirs, sacrifice, marry, plant, and open the market. Avoid groundbreaking, travel, and appointment.

  Auspicious days, everything is auspicious.

Li Fushou was so busy on this day. In the early morning, he bathed and burned incense and participated in the Lijiapu New Year Ancestor Ceremony. He showed his face in front of thousands of people. He returned to the ancestral tablet and handed it over to someone. To the Red River Valley to worship day and night.

  Due to the strong demonstration effect of wealth, at the ancestor worship ceremony, there were even thousands of Li clan members willing to follow Li Fushou to Australia to pan for gold. Those who really should have gathered.

  Li Fushou arranged his secretary Tian Shan to handle the matter. All members of the Li clan gave priority to the boat ride and the Huitong bank loan. The fee was ten pounds per person. This is indispensable.

  The rules are made by Li Fushou, and he can’t break it by himself.

  At most, some subsidies are provided in terms of food, and some care is taken in the shipping schedule. After arriving in the Red River Valley, those who are willing to pan for gold go for gold, those who are willing to graze, and those who are willing to enter the factory enter the factory. The conditions are more liberal.

  That's it, Huitong Bank’s loan is still to be repaid, and the 10% annual interest is also to be collected.

  Afternoon

  Li Fushou and his party hurried back from Lijiapu. After a brief rest, they bathed and changed again, and put on traditional dresses to welcome their relatives.

  The Gu family is a scholarly family with a century of inheritance, and has a lot of attention to it.

  The whole set of red tape was really exhausting. On this day, Gusu City was a sensation again, because the dowry that the Gu family took out was also a big deal. The dowry that was **** in red silk for 128 swept across the market, and once again earned a lot of attention.

Of course, the Gu family is not as generous as the Li Mansion. In addition to the silk and silk, the dowry Shu brocade quilt, Su embroidered screens, and the entire set of red sandalwood furniture are all highlights. It is not the guards with guns and live ammunition to see off, but the scholars with long sleeves fluttering. There are more than 200 people.

  Comparing the two, it even appears that the Gu family has a profound heritage. It really deserves to be a distinguished family of Jiangnan scholars. There are a large number of elite students willing to drive, and the style is more elegant and good.

  But let the people of Gusu City comment that they are more willing to Li Mansion's magnanimous handwriting, like the gold mountains and silver seas of the Li Mansion.
