The sky has completely darkened, and the businessmen in the yard are all exhausted. Watching the businessmen from Hangzhou and Suzhou walking to donate money, they just want to donate money, then have a good meal and drink, and then go to the building to find it.
A beautiful girl had a nice sleep.
The dual mental and physical tests have brought them to the point of collapse.
They just thought that if they returned to Yangzhou in the future, they would be suppressed by the Fang family because of their arbitrary opinions and donating money, so they could only endure it and continue to wait in the cold wind.
Fang Xiaohu really wanted to keep his former breeze, or at least maintain his old tough stance. However, under the smiling face of this young man, he felt that his body and mind were beginning to collapse.
He is already in his fifties and has reached the time of abstinence. He has always been secretly proud of himself for not lingering on women. From a certain point of view, he has a huge amount of money but does not linger on women. At least it proves that he has no desire for women.
He is a person who can withstand temptation.
But at this moment, he suddenly thought of women, and his body even felt hot. His lower body, which had been dormant for a long time, felt like it was about to move.
Xue Poye saw this and felt very happy.
It seemed that the effect of Dielianhua had already started to take effect. In that glass of wine, he had added an increased amount of the powerful drug Dielianhua, in order to make Fang Xiaohu hurry up and react.
Dielianhua not only makes people excited, but also makes people excited. In this urgent situation, Fang Xiaohu always has to make a decision.
Xue Poye believed that even his threats and persuasion could not move Fang Xiaohu, so his lustful nature might be able to completely defeat Fang Xiaohu. This old guy could not be in front of him. Chun, let himself appreciate his ugly appearance.
Fang Xiaohu was a smart man. Although he didn't know what kind of drug he had taken for a while, he knew that there was something wrong with the wine he had just drank as soon as he flipped the glass. Although this underhanded method used by the minister was a bit despicable, but
But it just shows that Xue Poye is determined to take out the money this time, and these thoughts have been planned in advance.
"Master Xue, I didn't bring so many banknotes, you... how many days can you tolerate me!" Fang Xiaohu said helplessly, breathing rapidly.
Xue Poye clapped his hands and said: "Okay, okay, Mr. Fang understands the righteousness. I have thanked Mr. Fang on behalf of the court. It doesn't matter if I don't bring the banknote with me. Mr. Fang wrote a note, took out a token, and sent
A personal servant returned to Yangzhou. I asked two Yulin guards to escort him there and brought it here. In the past two days, I will accompany Mr. Fang on a tour of Hangzhou. By the way, Xue’s wedding day will be in a few days.
Wouldn't it be a good thing to invite Mr. Fang to have a few glasses of wedding wine?"
Fang Xiaohu's eyes shot out with malicious light, but his body was extremely unbearable. Knowing that this was Xue Poye's trick to imprison the tiger, he could only nod in agreement.
…
"Sir, a total of 5.17 million taels of silver have been collected this time. However, although many merchants have donated the amount, they cannot come up with so many banknotes, so they have sent people home to collect them." Mr. Accountant will sort it out.
The book was presented to Xue Poye: "Master He has sent troops to guard the Lu Mansion. No one will be able to get out. Only when the money is received can they be let go."
Xue Poye nodded and smiled: "Well done, these people don't have to worry here. The Lu family has always been famous for its hospitality. I think the Lu family will treat them warmly when they are here." After looking through it,
He sighed: "The old man actually donated 80,000 taels. Hey, it's more than I thought."
Mr. Accountant hurriedly said: "Sir, Mr. Qiao is not bad at all. He handed over the 80,000 taels of silver in one go."
Xue Poye sighed with emotion: "The old man was prepared to donate so much before he came. He is a highly respected man and is much more benevolent and righteous than those businessmen."
He Ruhui also entered the elegant hall at this time and said respectfully: "Sir, are these silvers going to be converted into cash and shipped to Kyoto? I would like to accompany your Excellency to escort the donated silver to Kyoto."
Xue Poye pondered for a moment, but he was thinking in his heart. Hangzhou is closer to the northern border than Kyoto. If His Majesty the Emperor wants to use this money as military expenses at the border, it is better to transport it directly from here to the border. In this way
, but it can save a lot of manpower and material resources, so he waved his hands and said: "It doesn't matter if the banknote is converted into silver, but we still have to discuss whether to transport it to Kyoto. Well, in this way, I will first give you a piece of information to ask your Majesty, please His Majesty
Just show me."
"I obey my orders!"
At that moment, Xue Poye drew up a plan and sent people to rush to Kyoto to deliver it.
In the next few days, the merchants' banknotes were gradually donated according to the amount, and Fang Xiaohu, who had been strictly guarded by the Yulin Guards, only regained his freedom after the money came.
The old man was seriously ill that day, and he was not allowed to go out to find his sister. It was even less possible for him to find a woman in the Lu Mansion in front of his daughter, Mrs. Fang. He had no choice but to solve the problem with his hands in his own small room at his age.
, after being released four times in a row, he was exhausted, and the poison in his body was finally eliminated. In his heart, he was really resentful towards this Minister of Household Affairs, and secretly vowed in his heart that one day, if he got the chance, he would put Xue Poye on the spot.
Death place.
Mr. Xue has been busy preparing for the wedding these days. The later matters of fundraising can be left to the He Ruhui. For the sake of the future, the He Ruhui will naturally make every effort to deal with the matters Xue Poye explained this time.
good.
In the east of the city, Xue Poye bought a garden. Perhaps because of his status as Mr.
Okay, as a place in the south of the Yangtze River, gardens have their own specialties. Pavilions, pavilions and pavilions are indispensable. Although this garden is not too big, it is beautiful and quiet, and it is an excellent place.
In addition to handling the affairs of the restaurant, Lao Song was also responsible for renovating the new garden and dividing it into east and west courtyards. After all, on the wedding day, two brides were going to enter the Xue family's gate.
Although they are not married yet, Xue Poye and Yue Zhu do the beautiful things between husband and wife almost every day. After more than half a month, Yue Zhu already has a tacit understanding of many postures. Although she is still extremely shy,
While enjoying the love between a man and a woman, she was gradually able to let go of her hands and feet, which naturally made Xue Poye fascinated and indescribably beautiful.
Even her body is first-class exquisite, her skin is smooth, tender and delicate, and turns slightly red when she is excited, like a peach blossom with water.
According to the weird customs here in ancient times, no one could see each other in the first three days before the wedding, so when there were still three days before the wedding, Yue Zhu avoided Xue Poye, which made Xue Poye who was having fun every night
Ye was very uncomfortable with it, but thinking that after three days, not only would Yue Zhu be able to love her wholeheartedly, but also Xiao Suzhen, a talented girl with plump breasts and hips, would be with her, my mood immediately improved.
Xue Poye feels that his life has been really good recently. Although he is not on the gold list, his current official position seems to be more interesting than the gold list. Although Kyoto is full of conspiracies and traps, being an official must be careful, but
Where in this world is there a hidden agenda?
When the gold medal was named, it was a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber!
On the wedding day, the weather turned out to be a clear day, the sun was shining brightly, and the winter ice began to melt. All the shops of Xue's Enterprise in Hangzhou were decorated with lights and colorful decorations. These shops, except for Xue's Enterprise,
Naturally, his own shop also includes merchants who have joined the Xue sect and some secret stakes of Qinglianzhao. These secret stakes are all businessmen on the surface. They purchase goods from Xue's company, so naturally they are decorated with lights and decorations. Everyone
It's nothing more than adding joy to Mr. Xue's wedding.
The newly built house has also been renovated. The east and west courtyards are like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each with its own characteristics. Everywhere is decorated with lights and colors, full of joy.
At this wedding banquet, because Xue Poye was the owner of Xue's enterprise and an important member of the imperial court, all the people from the shopping mall and official circles came. Even the rival Lu family gave generous gifts, and the second young master came to congratulate him in person.
Hanyuan Restaurant was large enough to accommodate these guests. With the sound of firecrackers, the whole Hangzhou knew that today was Xue Poye's wedding day.
Originally, marrying two wives in one day was a good thing, but this kind of good thing is very complicated. The matter of getting married is troublesome enough. Just imagine that Xiao Suzhen and Xiao Yuezhu have fleshy palms and backs. Who should be married first?
Woolen cloth?
Fortunately, Xiao Pinshi and Xiao Yuezhu were both sensible people. After all, Mr. Chen Yin's family was very prestigious and it was hard to offend him. This was already his family, so there was no need to be rigid. Xue Poye then decided to marry Xiao Suzhen first.
Wearing a festive red robe, wearing a big red flower, leading the gongs, drums and suona troupes, walking through the streets and alleys, carrying the sedan chair, Xue Poye led everyone to welcome the bride, and Xiao Shitou followed with great excitement.
beside.
The street was full of people watching the excitement, and it was extremely lively. Xue Poye also ordered the team to distribute the fruits to both sides in a very festive manner.
The wedding procession stopped in front of the Xiao Mansion. The place had already been filled with people, most of whom were literati. The old gentlemen were naturally stroking their beards and watching happily, but the young literati were indignant. She was a talented woman from Hangzhou.
, a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River that everyone dreamed of was actually married by Xue Poye, which broke the hearts of countless young people who regarded Xiao Suzhen as their dream lover.
Amidst the roar of everyone, the wedding team finally welcomed Xiao Suzhen, Xiao Hanxiang became the bridesmaid, Xiao Moting confessed to Xue Poye a few more times, and the team returned in great force.
Along the way there were still the sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums, making it very lively.
Xiao Suzhen's sedan chair stopped in front of the gate, but she did not go in immediately. Xue Poye leaned close to the sedan chair and whispered a few words, and immediately rushed towards Han Garden with another group of people.
Fortunately, Hanyuan was not far from the new residence, so Xiao Suzhen did not wait too long. Xue Poye came again with another daughter-in-law's sedan chair. This time it was Xiao Yuezhu, but Xiao Lingxian was the bridesmaid.
The onlookers felt it was extremely novel. Although in this era, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, it was quite interesting to marry two daughters-in-law on the same day.
Under the guidance of Xiniang, the two brides entered the Xue family's door amidst the sound of firecrackers.
According to the rules of Dachu, when a bride enters the house, she must first step on the fire plate to drive away evil spirits. After that, she can rest in her own room and come out to worship at night.
The place was packed with guests and friends, all waiting to see the fire tray. Just as the salute officer over there was about to shout, he suddenly heard a voice outside shouting: "The imperial edict has arrived!"
This call made not only the guests break into cold sweats, but also Xue Poye was shocked. He really didn't expect that an imperial decree would come at this time. He immediately ordered Lao Song to lead people to put up the incense table to welcome the imperial decree. The courtyard was filled with guests.
The bride and the bride also knelt down to receive the order along with Xue Poye, and the courtyard was filled with darkness as they knelt down in a large area.
The eunuch who delivered the order walked slowly into the garden, escorted by several Yulin guards. He looked at a group of people, all of whom were tired from work, as if they were rushing here in a hurry.
Xue Poye looked up and was shocked. The eunuch who delivered the order was actually very familiar to him. He was the Eunuch Zhou Bing who ordered the death of Prince Yin that day. Eunuch Zhou was the eunuch who delivered the order, and it was he who personally delivered the poison.
liquor.
When Eunuch Zhou saw Xue Poye, he smiled happily and immediately opened the imperial edict.
"According to the decree of heaven - Zhi said, I have heard the way of a gentleman, and it is up to the husband and wife to create the right relationship. When it comes to it, I will observe the heaven and the earth...!"
Xue Poye could only hear a general idea, and it meant blessing anyway. After thanking him, Eunuch Zhou picked up Xue Poye with a smile, handed the imperial edict to his hand, and said: "The grace of the Lord is so great to you."
There is nothing to say. After the decree was issued, he said that he could not come to congratulate Xue Qing's family in person this time, and his feelings had to be expressed. Mr. Xue, these are gifts from the Holy Father, please accept them."
Hearing this, Xue Poye and the two brides hurriedly knelt down again.
"The emperor gave two pairs of dragon and phoenix wedding candles - two pairs of gilt dragon and phoenix jade cups - two sets of golden dragon and phoenix wedding quilts - a pair of gilt dragon and phoenix offspring barrels - two pairs of Kowloon white jade bowls - a pair of turtle buttons hidden in the inner palace.
A pair of mirrors - a pair of Tibetan yellow-glazed blue and white beauty vases - a dragon jade pendant - a gilt nanmu lacquer screen given by the emperor - a pair of the four treasures of the imperial study - a python robe with eight collars - two jade belts
——Thousands of colorful silks and satins from the inner palace——Hundreds of gold inscriptions——Two pairs of gold charms bestowed by the emperor on longevity and good fortune——Two boxes of royal incense made by the emperor——In addition, a heirloom plaque with poems written by the imperial pen——
The royal pen personally writes a gold plaque of loyalty and diligence—a royal prison horse—!"
Every time Eunuch Zhou thought the same thing, someone would send someone to deliver something, and there was even more exclamation from all around. Everyone was shocked to the extreme. Unexpectedly, Xue Poye was getting married in Hangzhou, and His Majesty the Emperor could actually reward him with something here. His Majesty said
Xue Poye's love can also be seen from this.
You Shaoqing in the crowd was dumbfounded, feeling that he really had a heavenly supporter, and He Ruhui and other officials were even more in awe of Xue Poye from the bottom of their hearts.
After thanking the Holy Grace, Xue Poye stood up again and raised his hands to Eunuch Zhou: "Eunuch Mao, I have sent you the grace of the Holy One from thousands of mountains and rivers. Thank you very much for this time." As he said this, he leaned in front of Eunuch Zhou and quietly passed him by.
He handed over a meeting ticket and said in a low voice: "It's a small thought, but it's not respectful, so please accept it with a smile." Then he turned to Nan Huaiwu, You Shaoqing and others and said: "Please take a rest, please come to the table and have a drink, and make proper arrangements for all of you, Yu Lin."
Brothers!" This group of Yulin Guards are not brothers from Fenghuo Camp.
Nan Huaiwu and You Shaoqing hurriedly welcomed the guests. Eunuch Zhou stepped aside and secretly unfolded the silver note in his palm. He saw that it was actually three hundred taels! This was the first time Zhou Bing had received such a large sum of money since entering the palace.
In the past, it was extremely rare for people to pay filial piety and reward, and it was enough for him to laugh for three or two days. Now a sudden windfall suddenly fell from the sky, and Zhou Bing was so excited that his hands were trembling, and he felt that this errand was indeed a good one.
It was not in vain, so I hurriedly put the ticket close to my body. I looked up and looked around, coughed, and pinched my leg hard. Then I calmed down a little and sat down at the main table.
Xue Poye patted the dust on his body, but a Yulin guard came from the side, took out a small box with exquisite craftsmanship, presented it to Xue Poye and said: "Sir, this is Tan Yushi, the imperial censor of Zuodu, Duchayuan
A gift entrusted to me for your lordship."
Xue Poye took it and opened the box, only to see a note and a small piece of red string inside. It was very strange. When he opened the note, he saw it read: "The matchmaker of the red thread, the final result of correction!"
"
He was extremely smart and immediately understood what Tan Ziqing meant, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
It was Tan Ziqing's fault that he and Xiao Suzhen got to know each other in the first place. He was able to send such a thing today, which can be regarded as his intention.
Thinking of His Majesty the Emperor being so kind to him, Xue Poye felt very emotional in his heart. Although he knew that the Emperor was ruthless, for today, the Holy Emperor had given him great face, which was equivalent to showing to the people of Hangzhou and even Jiangnan that he loved him.
of favor.
After the imperial edict, the wedding ceremony still needs to continue. After passing the fire tray and entering the main hall, the wedding ceremony is considered completed.
This wedding requires two dinners. At noon, there are the usual guests, that is, fellow merchants and officials. In the evening, there are only a few close relatives and friends, including He Ruhui, Mrs. Qiao, Mr. Lu, Han Mozhuang and others.
in.
After an afternoon of fussing, when the lanterns first came on, it was time to go to the church to get married. The rules of the Xue Mansion were the same as those of ordinary people. The three of them came to the incense table, listened to the praise officer's orders, and worshiped heaven and earth, ancestors, and ancestors.
Worship in the high hall and worship each other as husband and wife.
It's just that Xue Poye has no parents in this world, but he pulled Han Mozhuang to sit in front of the hall. As the saying goes, "Once a teacher, always a father", Han Mozhuang can be regarded as half a father. The old man refused again and again, and under Xue Poye's
After insisting, I had no choice but to agree. When I was worshiped, my eyes were red.
The two brides followed Xue Poye to pay homage to Han Mozhuang, served tea, and then paid homage to their relatives. The so-called "kiss homage" means paying homage to relatives based on blood relationship, seniority, and age.
However, Xue Poye didn't have any blood relatives here. He just paid homage to people close to him such as Mrs. Qiao, Nan Huaiwu, Lao Song, and Xiao Pinshi.
When everything was settled, the ceremony was over, and Xiao Suzhen and Xiao Yuezhu had a real nominal relationship with Xue Poye as husband and wife. Afterwards, the matchmaker brought the two men wearing red headscarves and red coats together.
The bride was sent into the bridal chamber.
Naturally, Xue Poye couldn't go to do good things at this time. There were a group of guests outside. Although it was not as large as dozens of tables at noon, there were still more than a dozen tables. Most of them were business friends of Xue's enterprise and some important officials.
.
By the time Xue Poye felt dizzy and a little drunk, it was already late at night, and the whole day's bustle was coming to an end.
