The chaos in the imperial court allowed the emperor to ignore the small area of Shanjiabao. After all, it would not affect his empire.
No matter how long the chaos lasts, Shanjiabao will have a period of development and consolidation.
Especially the relationship with the in-laws Tianfeng Sword Sect will be reshaped.
As the strength of Shanjiabao increased, Ouyang Wende, the old fox of the Tianfeng Sword Sect, had to curb his ambitions and become an honest partner first.
Of course Ouyang Wende would want to seize the martial arts secret book, but the Shan family's strength has increased, and he has no choice for the time being.
And I believe that the old lady and the castle owner will guard against him poisoning.
If you want martial arts secrets, you can only steal them by force.
However, the second aunt's grandmother and second aunt's grandfather were in Stone Forest Mountain City. Even if he could find people, he couldn't find two groups of people to attack at the same time.
Therefore, Ouyang Wende, that old fox, would only choose to endure it until his sister-in-law gave birth to a child, and then try again.
The procrastination is estimated to take two to three years. With the current chaotic situation, the population of Shanjiabao should have increased a lot, and more people should be recruited and trained by then.
The old fox Ouyang Wende will probably continue to tolerate it and count on his grandson.
In this way, there should be no internal problems in Shanjiabao within twenty or thirty years, before the next generation grows up and the family is separated.
From now on, there will be nothing to calculate. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It depends on fate.
In short, no matter how much the Shan family's kindness in raising him and his sister was calculated, it was enough for him.
The remaining one is the adoptive mother. Although she is a member of the Shan family and has always been prosperous, she still feels that she is a little bit behind and needs to think about it again.
This time when I go to Jiangnan, I will prepare one for her.
It's best if you don't use it in the future, but if something happens, there is a way out.
…
On the other side, Shanjiabao.
The fort was decorated with lights and colors everywhere, and it was full of joy, and it was a busy scene inside and out.
However, the news from the outside world did not stop, and the news about Linshan City soon came back.
It's just that the matter has nothing to do with me, so for the time being I can only wait and see what happens, and deal with the wedding first.
What Shanjiabao didn't know was that Zhang Ming, the deputy general manager of the southwest, was rushing to Shanjiabao with trouble.
The only thing I know is that in the evening, many uninvited people came to the market in the fort and outside the fort.
Although it was under the pretext of watching the wedding, it seemed like he was looking for someone.
…
Shanjiabao, restaurant.
A large family of the Shan family includes Lin Xuan, the wife of the old fort lord, Shan Feng, the second eldest daughter, and Duan Shi, Duan Chenggang, the second uncle, Shan Lu, the third lord of the fort, and Zhang Yan'er, the second eldest daughter.
The master of the castle is Shan Rong, the eldest lady Gong Zhenzhen, and the eldest son Shan Qin.
The second wife, Du Xiaoyun, and the second young lady, Shan Fei.
There are also the eldest lady's father Gong Chengfeng, the second lady's parents, Du Jun and Leng Xiaoru, as well as the third lady Tian Xin and her two nephews Tian Yunhao and Tian Yunqing.
While eating together, we talked about our worries, that is, worrying about the Jianghu people making trouble.
But there is no good way, we can only take it one step at a time.
I reconfirmed the process for tomorrow and then let it go.
When the castle owner and others go to the market to entertain guests, they cannot be said to be arrogant.
The second lady worked hard and went up the mountain to see Lengqing again, adding more manpower to guard Guanhong Pavilion.
It's not for property, I just try to prevent people from wandering around and disturbing Lengqing.
…
The eldest son went to the other courtyard to meet his father-in-law Ouyang Wende and once again confirmed the procedures for tomorrow's wedding.
The other courtyard is outside the castle. It is a newly built wedding room for him. Now it is used as the home of the Tianfeng Sword Sect to accommodate the bride.
After all, the Tianfeng Sword Sect is not next door, and it would be too tiring to travel a hundred or two hundred miles to get a wife.
It's not like I'm from an official family, so I have to create such a pomp, so people in the world don't have to go to that trouble.
…
On the mountain, Guanhong Pavilion.
A group of people did come in the evening, but they stood outside for a while, listened to the news, and then left.
There are only four people's heartbeats and breathing inside, so it's absolutely unmistakable.
The people brought by the second lady came, but they were cold and could not refuse, so they were allowed to stay.
…
One night passed and August 15th arrived.
It's not yet dawn, but things are already getting busy up and down Shanjiabao.
The cooks and cooks were even more busy. Dozens of stoves inside and outside the castle were not turned off all night.
When the sky dawned, the inside and outside of the castle were already filled with tables and chairs, and some fruit plates had already begun to be placed on them.
The bride's side was also brightly lit, surrounded by half of the Tianfeng Sword Sect, as she prepared to get married.
There is no shortage of flower-picking thieves in the martial arts world, so we must guard against them. The best way to deal with them is to not give them a chance.
…
After the rooster crows and the sky brightens, one after another Baoding comes out to stand in line and becomes part of the spectacle on the roadside.
At the same time, it also maintains order and keeps the bride and groom's path smooth.
The people in the fort also came out to watch the fun and get some free snacks.
In the second half of Chenshi (after eight o'clock in the morning), guests began to come to the door, and guests were called by name here and roll call here.
Someone came to guide them to sit down and wait for the noon ceremony.
The gifts have been given before, and the details of what they are have not been announced or leaked.
It can be said that the people invited to Shanjiabao are all our own people. Saying gifts will only create comparisons and only hurt harmony.
Anyway, even if they don’t say it, everyone knows it in their minds, it’s a matter of three to five hundred taels of silver.
After all, no one would give a lot of money to someone else's wedding.
…
Around midnight (around nine o'clock in the morning), the people in the arena who were not invited started to grab the territory and jumped up to higher places carrying drinks and snacks.
It can be said that all the surrounding trees are filled with tickets.
At half past midnight (ten o'clock in the morning), amidst the sound of music, the groom Shanqi rode a tall white horse and went down to greet the bride, surrounded by a large group of people.
Tian Yunhao and Tian Yunqing were the best men, and they were both relatives, which came in handy.
The road was not long and we soon reached the outside of the courtyard.
A bunch of little girls were gearing up and laughing and blocking the road.
Jianghu people, you can't just give money, you have to do it.
Half a month ago, Shan Qi would still have a headache, but now it is easy to deal with it.
It's not that his skill has improved, but his lightness kung fu has improved. Although he doesn't know how strong he is, his overall strength is definitely above the first level.
Although the internal and external skills of these little girls are not bad, they are compared with him before. Compared with him now, they are at least one level behind.
Not to mention coming one by one, not even three or five together.
If your feet are wandering, you can easily handle it with just a flick of your fingers.
Many people in the martial arts world were stunned. Is Shanjiabao's martial arts so powerful?
Looking back, I have never seen a scene where Shanjiabao used force. Recently, I had a fight with the Tsing Yi Cult, but it was a battle on horseback, not a one-on-one fight.
Going forward, it seems that I have never heard of it.
Shanjiabao has always done business in a harmonious manner and has not participated in the fighting in the world.
…
Other courtyard.
Ouyang Wende endured his surprise and calmly accepted his son-in-law's visit.
The groom Shan Jin didn't bother to try to figure out his father-in-law's thoughts, so he went to pick up the bride.
The bride, Ouyang Zifeng, was living in the guest house at this time, and the walls and roof were all people from the Tianfeng Sword Sect.
It's like occupying a place where you can stay first, so as to prevent people from the world from coming to join in the fun.
There are a lot of bastards who can do this kind of thing.
