Chapter 498: Wild Dog's Xiuxiu's Wedding
Xingzhou was in ruins, and there was a sparse population there. After the Song army swept the Dangxiang people, they died or fled, and the rest were all captured. The Song Dynasty was very cautious about these prisoners. Except for some prisoners of war, the remaining Dangxiang people were moved to the mainland to live. In fact, there were also many Dangxiang people in the Song Dynasty. After the founding of the Song Dynasty, many Dangxiang people turned to the Song Dynasty to become obedient people. Only Li Jiqian, Li Yuanhao's grandfather, was dissatisfied, so he ran to Xiping Prefecture to rebel.
As the Dangxiang people moved to the mainland and lived with the original Dangxiang people, Xingzhou became even more empty and the population was urgently needed to fill it. The Xiang army mobilized from various places was to fill the population vacancy in Xingzhou.
However, when these Xiangjun were mobilized, they didn't know that they were going to Xingzhou, but only knew that they were going to the northwest. However, this cannot be said to be deliberately concealed by the imperial court. After all, Xingzhou also belongs to the northwest. The reason why they did not tell them in advance was that they were worried that these Xiangjun refused to go after they knew it. After all, Xingzhou had just been captured and there were nomadic people around, so it was not safe to farm there. Of course, when they arrived in the northwest, they had no choice but to stop going.
"Boom" Li Zhang was woken up by a loud noise early in the morning. The sound was not from his house, but from the Huyan family next to him. No, it should be from Li'er's princess's mansion. Huyan's house was made by Li'er's princess's mansion, so it naturally needs to be rebuilt. The houses are being demolished in the mansion these two days, and it is estimated that they will not be completed next year. In other words, Li Zhang's family will not be able to live in peace for a year, which made Li Zhang secretly consider whether he should change the yard to the other side so as not to be disturbed.
However, Li Zhang could not complain about building a house with his sister. He had to help take care of him. He even personally participated in some planning of the mansion to avoid unhappiness when he moved in. After all, she was used to living in her house and now she refused to even go to the palace. Although there is a reason why the palace is too deserted, living habits are also one of the main reasons.
After breakfast, Li Zhang came to the front yard to find the wild dog. It was soon the day for him and Xiuxiu to get married. During this period, Li Zhang also took time to help him prepare the wedding. In addition, there were also Kuozi, Chou Niang and others who also helped prepare. Now the wedding has been almost ready, but there are still some chores to deal with.
When Li Zhang saw the wild dog, he was helping the Chou Niang and others to change into wedding costumes. The so-called red man and green woman, the men's wedding costumes are all bright red. The wild dog is quite tall and does not look very strong on the surface, but in fact the muscles on the body are very strong, which is the figure that takes off the clothes and looks handsome. Now after changing into the wedding costumes, it seems like they have changed one. Even Chou Niang and the others praise it.
"Not bad, I'll look like a groom when I wear this outfit!" Li Zhang looked at the wild dog taller than him at this time, and said with some emotion. These younger brothers and sisters have finally grown up, and some people are no longer lower than him. Of course, Li Zhang forgot the fact that the wild dog was taller than him since he was a child.
Hearing everyone's praise, the wild dog showed a rare expression of embarrassment. However, the ugly lady and others stepped forward and took off their clothes, because this wedding dress would not be worn until the day of marriage. Now it's dirty, it's bad.
"Everyone is here today, so why not go to Wild Dog's new home to see what is missing and buy them together!" At this time, Li Zhang suggested again that Wild Dogs are going to get married to Xiuxiu, so they naturally have to separate their families. The yard has been bought long ago, and there are some shares in the family's industry, which Xiuxiu and Wild Dog deserve.
Everyone agreed with Li Zhang's proposal. Then a group of people left the mansion with jokes, but did not take a carriage because the Wild Dog's new home was not far away, and they just needed to cross two streets to get there. Although they had bought the yard a long time ago, they had just been renovated and arranged some time ago, and some places may not be perfect.
Wild Dog's new home is a house with three in and three out. Its area is not very large, and it can only be said to be medium. Originally, Li Zhang prepared several houses for Wild Dog and Xiuxiu for them to choose, but Xiuxiu fell in love with the smallest house at a glance, because this house is closest to Li Zhang's house. Xiuxiu wanted to come to Li Zhang's house to walk around after marriage, but she was not interested in the other big houses.
The door of the house has been renovated, the entire gatehouse is newly built, the door panel is painted with bright new paint, and there is a plaque with "Li Mansion" hanging on it. Wild Dog never mentions his direct surname, so he followed Li Zhang's surname, Li Zhang, who has always regarded him and Douzi and others as their younger brothers. After all, they are mostly orphans, and only the affection between brothers and sisters can make them feel warm.
The door guarding the door opened the mansion, and Li Zhang and the others stepped into the house. There were also slaves in the house. After all, it was a big yard for three in and three out, so naturally there was a need for servants to take care of. In the future, Xiuxiu would have to be taken care of when she got married.
Li Zhang has been here a few times before, but it was before the renovation. It was his first time after the renovation. The Chou Niang and the others were similar, so Li Zhang asked everyone to go around casually to see where the place was not arranged properly. As for the wild dog's own opinions, it was not important at all. Although this guy changed a lot, he only cared about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and did not care much about other aspects, so naturally he could not give any useful opinions.
There were many people and great power. After walking around, someone quickly raised some shortcomings. Li Zhang himself also discovered some problems, such as the lack of a stable in the backyard. Wild dogs like to ride horses and will definitely raise horses at home, so a separate stable is definitely indispensable. There is also a martial arts hall, which was also built separately for Wild dogs, but there is still two rows of weapon stands inside.
There are many similar problems. Li Zhang wrote down all these things and ordered people to prepare them. The last group of people went to the kitchen. This kitchen was prepared for Xiuxiu. She likes cooking skills, and wild dogs are also a big eater, so this kitchen is also very luxurious, with all kinds of kitchen utensils inside. It seems that wild dogs will have a good time in the future.
Unfortunately, Xiuxiu could not meet the wild dog before marriage, and she could not come to this new home to see it. So Xiuxiu should not know what her new home looks like, and she probably could only wait for the wild dog to introduce it to her after marriage. I believe she would like the new home, especially the backyard where the wild dog and Xiuxiu live, which is arranged according to the yard where Xiuxiu lives now.
After visiting the yard, Li Zhang invited everyone to Huiweizhai for a big meal. Although it was his own industry, Li Zhang had already stipulated that no matter who came, he had to pay. After all, there were more and more people in the family. If the family members came to Huiweizhai and did not have to spend money, the store would be destroyed sooner or later. Similarly, other industries were the same. No matter how many members there were, they would have to do business when they came to the store.
For the next period of time, the family was busy with the marriage of Wild Dog and Xiuxiu. Li Zhang also reduced the number of times he went to the palace and martial arts. The martial arts side was on the right track. Even if Li Zhang and Cao Wei often did not show up, martial arts could operate normally. As for Zhao Zhen in the palace, he was becoming more and more familiar with government affairs. Of course, what he most hoped for now was the child in Queen Zhang's belly. Li Zhang had entered the palace several times but had no one to find, so he knew where Queen Zhang was without asking.
However, Queen Zhang's pregnancy this time is indeed worrying, mainly because she had a sick illness before, and there was a period of time when the child was not moving, which scared Zhao Zhen and Queen Zhang. Fortunately, Queen Zhang's illness was cured and the child in her belly became riot again, which also made everyone relieved. Li Zhang's aunt, Empress Li, almost lived with Queen Zhang during this period. In her words, she would be uneasy if she could not see Queen Zhang for a day.
