There have been a lot of things happening in Baixiang Town recently.
First, the majestic blue-clothed detective who became Daxia's spy was killed by Huang Qianhu, then the leader of Yuanyang Sect, Zhenren, died of illness, and Zheng Tu, the true disciple, succeeded to the throne, and then Liu Dutong personally came to Baixiang Town, and then
Killed a group of Daxia spies.
Before all the forces could react, the most powerful man in Baixiang Town, the mysterious Huang Qianhu, announced that the Chu and Huang families were getting married. They would hold a wedding in the near future and invited all their colleagues to attend.
One major event happened one after another, which made people a little overwhelmed, but the marriage still left many people stunned.
Baixiang Town, Lecture Hall
"I said that kid hasn't come to class these days. It turns out he's spending all his time on this."
"You really have a lot of skills. You have a lot of skills."
"For the wedding between Master Chu and the eldest lady, Instructor Fang must show your respect." The Huang family sent a butler and respectfully handed over the invitation, which made the bald instructor feel even more honored and promised directly.
"I will definitely go to the banquet in a month."
After the bald instructor received the invitation, he showed a rippling smile. The smile on his face seemed to be carved on it and could not be erased.
In the past, the instructors always liked to brag, saying that this is the worst class I have ever taught, but now, it should be said that with Chu Qianqiu, it can be regarded as the best class in the past years.
It was so amazing that I directly captured the Phoenix in the Martial Arts Hall.
Huang Qianhu and Chu Baihu are not simple figures. They have many connections in the army, not to mention officialdom and business connections.
Baixiang Town, Zhao Baihujia
"This, this is too fast."
The son of Zhao Baihu, an apprentice at the Martial Arts Hall, and a classmate and friend of Chu Qianqiu, Zhao Lingyun looked at the invitation in surprise and was a little at a loss.
It was even hard for him to understand how things had turned upside down just a few days before when they last met.
"Brother, what's so fast?" Zhao Lingyun's sister Zhao Shengli came over with fresh fruits and asked curiously.
"Qianqiu, Qianqiu is getting married to Miss Huang."
"In just one month."
Zhao Lingyun said in an unbelievable tone.
"Ah?" Zhao Shengli let go of his hand and let the fruit fall to the ground.
The age at which military households get married fluctuates greatly, and they don't pay much attention to the so-called three years of filial piety in Confucianism.
For them, death is not uncommon.
It is very common for the dead to make way for the living. It is also common for the older brother to die in battle and the younger brother to get married and then go to the battlefield.
"Brother Qianqiu, are you getting married?" Zhao Shengli clenched his white and tender hands, feeling some inexplicable pain.
There is a painful feeling that you have already lost before you even appear on the stage.
"Qianqiu sent invitations to all the apprentices in the Martial Arts Hall, but the one Dad received was from Master Huang."
"Dad gave us an extra five taels of silver and asked us to go to the clothing store to order two new sets of clothes."
"The wedding held by the Huang family is of great significance and cannot disgrace the Zhao family."
"Sheng'er, Sheng'er?" Zhao Lingyun saw that something was wrong with his sister's expression and quickly asked a few questions. The girl just came back to her senses, pursed her somewhat white lips, and shook her head.
"I, I'm fine."
"Brother, let's go shopping for clothes."
Baixiang Town, used clothes shop
"Oh, Mr. Zhao and the eldest lady came here, they must want to order two sets of new clothes." Liu Danping was particularly busy today, with a smile on her face.
She doesn't understand the changes in the situation in Baixiang Town, she only knows that business will become easier recently.
"How is store manager Liu's business doing lately?"
Zhao Lingyun is also a smart person, and he immediately realized that it was not just the brother and sister who came out to buy clothes, but there were other people as well.
Huang Qianhu was extremely powerful and his status was much higher than that of ordinary Wanhu. There were too many people in Lingzhou who wanted to curry favor with him.
Even if it's not flattering, in order to save face for attending the wedding, I still have to find a new set of clothes.
"It's all thanks to Master Chu. Many apprentices are custom-making clothes these days."
"Master Chu and Miss Huang are truly a match made in heaven, a golden boy and a beautiful girl."
"Buddha bless you, Buddha bless you."
"I heard that this time, the host of Fahua Temple, Kakumi, stopped the rituals for a month and came to preside over the wedding for the two of them."
Liu Danping said very happily, which made Zhao Shengli's face gradually turn gloomy. Zhao Lingyun secretly screamed, and quickly interrupted:
"Manager Liu, we all know this, so we should hurry up and make the clothes tailor-made."
Chu Qianqiu hosted a banquet in his own name for all the apprentices in the martial arts hall and came to attend the wedding. As for the relationship between the elders, his father-in-law helped invite them. The overlap between the two was very high, so he was not afraid of missing out.
As invitations were sent out one after another, the news that Huang Qianhu was going to marry his daughter also caused a sensation throughout Lingzhou.
Not only the Yuanyang Sect, the Wang Family, Fahua Temple, and Baixiang Pavilion have made moves, but even the sects as far away as Jiangzhou have received invitations and started preparing to attend the wedding.
Jiangzhou, Dajiang Gang
"Brother Huang has not forgotten a certain family."
"Niece Huang is getting married to nephew Chu Xian. How can a certain family not attend the wedding?"
"I prepared two boats as a gift for a certain family. They are all filled with Jiangzhou's best silks, tea, and porcelain."
Cao Xin, the leader of the Dajiang Gang, said happily while holding the invitation.
The time was set very hastily, the wedding was going to happen in a month, and people were sent all the way to come. This is friendship and face.
Unlike many people in later generations who do not like to attend weddings, a wedding in this world is not only a wedding, but also an important social event.
Sometimes the host thinks too much, just because he is afraid of missing someone, lest the guests feel that he has lost face.
I think you and I have a very good relationship, but you don't even inform me of important events in your life.
Then don't come to me if you have trouble in the future.
Huang Qianhu knew people from all over the world. Even if the other party had no intention of coming, he still had to send this invitation. This was a courtesy.
Chu Qianqiu couldn't just have sex with Xiaoxiao. Even if they were husband and wife, what would that be like?
So a month is actually quite stressful.
"Gang leader, you can't go."
"If you go, your secret will be revealed."
Master Baishan next to him quickly reminded in a low voice.
"Master Huang gave you this invitation. It was because I asked you for a favor when I passed through Jiangzhou."
"How can it be worthy of such high courtesy?"
"Jiangzhou and Lingzhou are far apart. We can't go to Lingzhou to do business. People from Liumen will be suspicious."
In addition to water transportation, the Dajiang Gang's more profitable business is naturally large-scale smuggling, and private salt is their most important profit-making project.
On the surface, the two parties do not have much relationship, but in fact they are a close alliance.
"Master, please see, there is a secret text on this invitation."
"Hey, my niece is getting married and I can't visit a certain family. This is really..." Cao Xin, the leader of the Dajiang Gang, said with a depressed look.
Making money is not only for enjoyment, but also for face.
"Didn't the young gang leader just come back from Tianjian Sect? He asked him to travel to Lingzhou openly, give some small gifts along the way, and secretly give him a big gift."
"It neither arouses suspicion nor loses dignity."
Master Baishan thought that the young gang leader would come home to visit him, so he came up with a clever plan, which made Cao Xin applaud him.
"Okay, just do what Master said."
Around the wedding in a month, countless forces began to gather in Baixiang Town.
