After the war in the late Sui Dynasty, Shangguan Yi had no other family members, and the other party was just a woman. The marriage was arranged very simply.
Li Yue was in a very good mood. She waved her hand very generously and the whole village held a banquet. It was rare for her village to arrange a happy event. She, a rich woman, finally showed some kind of show. The whole village killed chickens and ducks, even the original
The people who built the workshops also took a break, and the whole village stopped work for one day, but the wages were still paid.
The liveliest things are the children, they are the most energetic and can be noisy for a long time.
The villagers here are very simple and everyone is very enthusiastic and helpful.
Originally, Shangguan Yi's room was not big and very messy.
Zhang Yang said to Niu Chuang: "Change him to a larger room. This house is too small. It will be troublesome for the whole family to live here in the future. There is not even a place to cook."
At that time, Shangguan Yi came to the village alone, so she had never thought about it so much.
At that time, Shangguan Yi was very poor and still living in Hongwen Hall. It was better to live in the village. Even his room had been temporarily occupied by the prince of Hejian County.
Niu Chuang was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "We have allocated houses to Ying Guogong and others. There is no more left in the village."
I took a look at the castle in the northernmost part of the village. The castle must be used if it is empty.
From now on it will still be the village office.
Zhang Yang looked at the top floor of the castle, "I remember there are quite a lot of rooms in this castle."
"There are three floors in total, and there are five rooms on each floor."
Niu Chuang built the castle by himself, and he knew the inside best.
Zhang Yang folded his hands and said: "Let Shangguan Yi and his wife live on the top floor of the castle. They will live like this for the time being. You can allocate some people to expand Shangguan Yi's current house and clean it up. It won't be as small as the current warehouse.
"
Niu Chuang nodded and wrote down, "I understand, let's go find someone to make arrangements."
"Also, from now on, this castle will be the office of our village. King Wei and Duke Ying will be on the first and second floors of the castle. Separate rooms will be arranged to give them a separate working environment."
While walking, Zhang Yang gave instructions.
The wedding was held in a hurry, and I didn't know if Shangguan Yi had any relatives. I simply arranged the wedding first, with Zhang Gongjin as witness, and the whole village could celebrate it in a lively manner.
People in ancient times kept their promises, and a marriage that was more than ten years late is still happening today.
If it hadn't been for the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Shangguan Yi would be living a good life now and wouldn't have to live in exile for so many years.
Li Xiaogong came, and with him came a cart full of gifts, including food and clothing.
Shangguan Yi kept thanking him.
Li Xiaogong slapped him on the shoulder, "I respect you as a man, treat other girls well, and dare to be a betrayer. Don't blame me for being rude."
"I will definitely keep this in mind."
"Hahaha!" Li Xiaogong's wild laughter spread throughout the countryside.
It had been a long time since I had reminisced with Li Xiaogong. Ever since he was taken back to Chang'an City, the two of them had never sat down and talked quietly again.
At first, the two of them were thinking about how to resign in the deserted place of the Ministry of Rites.
"Two years have passed, and your temperament has really not changed at all." Zhang Yang looked at him and said.
After letting go of the doubts in his heart, Li Xiaogong became much more cheerful.
Li Xiaogong had someone deliver a cart full of gifts to the village.
Looking at this cart of things, Zhang Yang said with emotion: "The gift given by Prince Hejian is so generous, it makes us feel so embarrassed."
"What's the point of being embarrassed?"
Li Xiaogong lifted up his belt and spoke.
"We all give small gifts because our financial conditions are limited. It would be embarrassing to give too many gifts to others. You just give us a big truckload of gifts, which makes us feel ashamed."
Li Xiaogong grinned, "I am so generous to everyone."
Zhang Yang murmured in a low voice, "Then you didn't come to my wife's wedding. Shouldn't you make up for it?"
Li Xiaogong coughed and said, "What happened back then is in the past. Don't bring it up again. When you and Yue'er have a child, send it to them as well."
"Well, don't forget it."
"That's natural."
When it comes to friendship, the first people I met were Li Tai and Li Xiaogong.
The two of them were walking in the village drinking heavily. Zhang Yang asked in a low voice: "They say that our Majesty likes to fine people. Last time you burned down the Ministry of Rites, how many years did your Majesty fine you?"
"Ten years." Li Xiaogong said it lightly, as if he was talking about a very unimportant thing.
As the prince of Hejian County, how much does a prince need for ten years?
Li Shimin really saved a lot of money.
"Ten years is ten years, anyone who blinks is not a man." Li Xiaogong said loudly.
"The Prince of Hejian County is worthy of being a hero. I admire you. Your family has a big business without blinking an eye. I am a small family with a small business. I will be fined ten years of salary. I am afraid I will have nowhere to complain."
Li Xiaogong snorted: "After all, money is something external to the body."
"Having said that, the reality is that even a penny can stump a hero."
"Your family fortune is not small, how can you still worry about your salary?"
"How can you be so generous? I was used to being poor. I like to save some money on everything I do. I have to make careful calculations before I dare to spend money."
"Hmph, the temperament of a country boy."
Zhang Yang clicked his tongue and said: "This is not a matter of temperament. Being diligent and frugal is a good habit, and we should promote it."
Li Tai ran past with a group of children, and they were chasing the chickens again, using this boring way to enrich the children's boring childhood.
"Come and help! We can't catch him!" Li Tai shouted loudly as he ran.
Zhang Yang and Li Xiaogong tacitly ignored the little fat man's boring behavior, and then turned around and walked in the other direction together.
"Has the Prince of Hejian County ever known Du Zhenglun?"
Listening to what Zhang Yang said, Li Xiaogong asked doubtfully, "I've heard of him but don't know him. What are you asking him for?"
"This man remonstrated with Your Majesty and listed my Red Mansion as a banned book."
"I've heard about this, and I've also read a little bit of this book. Boys shouldn't write such sad stories about spring and autumn. They should write more stories about heroes. I think back then I beat Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and when I was eighteen
The rebel king on the road, the heroes of the Thirty-six Roads, the smoke and dust billowing, the world of great strife, that is the story that men should write."
"Well, it sounds quite passionate." Zhang Yang nodded seriously.
"A hero should be passionate."
Zhang Yang looked Li Xiaogong up and down and said, "You are now middle-aged. It's time to cultivate yourself. Enthusiasm is for young people."
After talking nonsense, he said serious words. This was the style of a rough guy like Li Xiaogong. He sat down and said slowly: "I used to be very worried about you and hoped that you could leave that bastard place in the court. Now I actually admire you a little.
.”
Zhang Yang struggled: "What do you admire about me? Do you admire me because I have lost hundreds of dollars to transform my business?"
Li Xiaogong scratched the stubble on his chin, "When I first met you, you were still a reckless boy, but now you seem to be calm and much more stable."
"You can see that I am stable."
"The Central Government has listed The Red Mansion as a banned book, but you can still swallow your anger without making any gestures, let alone resist. You are very stable."
"What can I do? Could it be that if I shout all over the streets, it's all a conspiracy of the aristocratic family? They did it intentionally. Even if I shout all over the streets, will anyone listen to me?"
Li Xiaogong sighed: "I don't know if you have a good horoscope. You will make friends with many people, such as the warrior Xun, the emperor, Wei Zheng, and the prince. They all maintain a good relationship."
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "I like to make a lot of friends and a few enemies."
Li Xiaogong said in a deep voice: "It may seem like a simple sentence, but the latter sentence will defeat the enemy enough to reveal your city."
"The prince of Hejian County is ridiculous. It is said that those who have gained the right will get more help, while those who have lost the right will have less help. Because I am a good person."
After a pause, Zhang Yang pointed to Chang'an City and said, "Yes, I am a good person and they are bad people."
Li Xiaogong heard this and asked: "What kind of bad guy."
"They like to judge others from the commanding heights of their character. No matter whether the things they propose are good or bad, as long as they don't agree with the value, they will veto everything you say and even take your life if necessary."
Li Xiaogong nodded in agreement, "You will definitely die without a burial place in the future."
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "If they kill me, I will feel it is worth it."
"You are looking more and more like Wei Zheng." When Li Xiaogong said this, there was even more loneliness in his eyes.
The banquet in the village was very exaggerated. The meat was boiled in a big pot, and the meat was cut into large pieces and placed on the table. A dozen women cooked it using the cooking skills they had recently learned.
Shangguan Yi's wedding was officially held in the evening. Li Yue accompanied Shangguan Yi's wife to the crowd and sent her to Shangguan Yi.
At dusk, everyone witnessed a wedding.
This wedding was witnessed by the King of Wei, the Prince of Hejian County, Duke Zhang Gongjin of Zou, and Warrior Xun of Duke Ying. It was a small ceremony with two Dukes, a prince and a county prince. It was already a big deal for Shangguan Yi.
What an honor.
After the couple finished bowing, everyone sat down to eat.
Zhang Yang raised Li Tai's lapel and asked, "His Royal Highness, King Wei, where are you going?"
Li Tai pointed to the wine table, "Of course we are drinking."
Zhang Yang pointed to another small table, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei is still young, so he will sit at the children's table."
"You are too much!"
"There are adults here."
"I want to drink!" Li Tai threw away his hand and sat at Li Xiaogong's table, then laughed and melted into the adults' table.
The banquet lasted until dark, and then everyone dispersed.
Zhang Yang, Li Tai, Niu Chuang, and the warrior Xun escorted Shangguan Yi to the castle.
"Your previous house was too small. The third floor of this castle has been cleared out and all the furniture that should be placed has been put away. You and your wife will stay here for the time being and wait until your small house is expanded before moving out. The conditions in the village are limited and we
Try your best to arrange it.”
Shangguan Yi bowed and saluted, with tears in his eyes, "I will inform my ancestors tomorrow morning that I have also gotten married."
Zhang Yang patted his shoulder and said, "Go to bed early. There are still a lot of things waiting for you to do."
Shangguan Yi couldn't help but nod and walked into the castle.
Li Xiaogong supported the drunk Li Tai, "I will go back first with this kid."
Zhang Yang cupped his hands and said: "Slow down, we will go back after packing up."
After the banquet, the village was in a mess, and we had to wait until dawn tomorrow to clean up.
Zhang Yang walked into Li Yue's study, where she was skillfully moving the abacus and calculating accounts.
"A total of three chickens, two ducks, and two pigs were killed. Including drinks, the total cost was fifteen dollars."
After calculating the accounts, Li Yue whispered to the girl on the side: "You should look at these accounts more often and learn how to calculate them yourself."
For this marriage, Li Yue enthusiastically arranged everything, and she was exhausted.
Seeing Li Yue come out, Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Let's go home."
Li Yue nodded.
The two aunts have already packed up the carriage.
Zhang Yang waved his riding whip, and the carriage slowly headed towards Chang'an City.
Li Yue sat on the carriage shaft and looked up at the starry sky. The night sky was full of stars. The night was so quiet that she could hear the squeaking sound of the carriage wheels.
Back home, Li Yue took a bath and went to bed early.
Late at night, Zhang Yang wrote the outline of the story of "The Romance of the West Chamber". The Romance of the West Chamber is a love story between a scholar and Miss Xiangguo. The two protagonists in this story broke through many obstacles and finally became a couple, which is different from the bleak ending of Dream of Red Mansions.
Some say that Wang Shifu wrote this story during the Yuan Dynasty, others say that it was compiled by later generations, and some say that it was a work from the late Tang Dynasty. There are many discussions about this work, and many examples of its origin are cited. The origin is very controversial.
But there is no lack of a good and thought-provoking story.
The predecessors still left a happy ending in the story.
There are many stories of resistance to class oppression, and there are endless stories about them in a book called The Red Mansion, and there are endless stories like this.
This kind of story will take root in many people's hearts.
It wasn't until he was so sleepy that he couldn't hold back his drowsiness. Zhang Yang finished writing the outline of the first chapter and then fell asleep.
In the morning, I was woken up by the sound of a bear scratching the door. Li Yue was still asleep.
The little bear was very hungry. He pushed his bowl to signal that he wanted to eat.
Li Yue woke up after breakfast was ready, and ate breakfast with some bacon and diced vegetables.
Li Yue likes to read when eating, and also likes to read when she has nothing to do. After visiting the queen, she will put down the book and concentrate on learning from the queen.
It was at the time of going down to court in the morning that the couple walked towards the Zhuque Gate. Entering the Zhuque Gate was the imperial city. Along the way, people could be heard talking about the Red Mansion being listed as a banned book.
This incident caused quite a stir in Chang'an.
Li Yue pretended not to hear, completely filtering these discussions, and pretended not to hear their voices.
As usual, he sent her to the Lizheng Palace to meet Queen Changsun. As soon as Zhang Yang walked outside the palace, he met that cool boy again, Li Ke.
Zhang Yang stood at the door, watching him walk expressionlessly towards the Ganlu Hall.
Not even a greeting, this kid is so rude.
Zhang Yang shook his head and sighed, then walked towards the East Palace.
As soon as he entered the East Palace, Li Chengqian saw a group of craftsmen building a house.
Zhang Yang glanced around and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Zheng, aren't you here today?"
Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Maybe I'm busy with other things. If I haven't arrived at the East Palace at this hour, I'm afraid I won't come."
