Number of romantic figures

Chapter 1218 The Geng scroll is set on fire and ambushed
The people watching the excitement on the side of the road continued to hear words, but Feng Ziying was in a good mood.

"Ruixiang, have you made arrangements for the reception of the intellectuals in the mansion?"

Rui Xiang, who followed Feng Ziying's horse in a small step, responded immediately: "It's all arranged. On one side are Uncle Lian, Second Master Xu, and Uncle Fang, with the help of Third Master Huan, and on the other side are Uncle Duan and Second Master Liu." The four of them, Uncle Han and Second Master Bao, plus Uncle Shou in the mansion, are basically familiar with each other."

Since there may be too many guests coming, and it involves old relatives and friends of the Feng family and Feng Ziying himself, plus some business contacts related to the Xue family, so the guests who come this time may be relatively simple compared to those who married Shen Yixiu. There are more guests, especially since Feng Ziying hadn't been to Yongping Mansion a year ago, and his relationship with Shanshan merchants is far from as close as it is now, so he needs to be more thoughtful about arranging visitors.

Practicing state affairs, Xu Qixun, and Fang Youdu naturally had to be considered from the perspective of their classmates and officials who had been observing politics in the Imperial Academy, as well as some officials who were relatively close to the court. Jia Huan volunteered, of course, he also had some wishes Naturally, Feng Ziying would not refuse the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to get acquainted with some contacts. On the other hand, she mainly faced the Feng family, including the martial arts class, and some considerations for making a living. Han Qi, Baoyu, and Feng Shou from the mansion, they have taken everyone in.

The choice of intellectuals is also very important, especially the Feng family has a wide network, and Feng Ziying has shined since the Linqing civil uprising, so whether invited or not, there are many people who take the initiative to come to congratulate. You can only greet each other with a smile on your face, and you must also register the gifts so that you can do good human relations in the future.

What I am afraid of is that no one knows the guests who come, or they don't know their origins.

"Well, it's about the same. There are so many of them, and they should basically recognize them all. If they do, I may not know them." Feng Ziying laughed at herself.

He doesn't want too many visitors. Although this era is not like the previous life where wedding invitations need to be reported, and some people are not allowed to come and go, but these visitors are guests, and the involvement is too wide. It is always not a good thing, especially It was some guests he did not wish to see.

A group of people marched towards the old alley of Lige in a mighty way, and there were more and more people watching along the way. Fortunately, everyone still obeyed the rules, but it was just a discussion, and there was no hindrance.

At the entrance of the old alley of Li Ge, the servants of Xue's family from far away were like sparrows that bombed the camp, galloping back to report the news. prepare.

When the group arrived at the gate of the house, the middle door was wide open, and Xue Pan and Xue Biao had already come out to welcome them. Because all the men of the previous generation of Xue's family had passed away, only Xue Pan and Xue Biao, who were of the same generation as Feng Ziying, were there.

Naturally, there would be no politeness at this time, and after a brief salute, he entered the yard.

"Come on, come on." There was a loud noise from outside, and the two girls who were sitting in the hall suddenly became nervous, stood up and sat down for a while, sat down and stood up again, not knowing what to do.

"Mother!"

"Chai (qin) girl!"

With tears in her eyes, the mother is always reluctant to part with her daughter, but why is the daughter willing to leave her mother?

"If you marry, you will be a member of the Feng family. You must abide by the rules of the Feng family, be filial to Wenggu, and have harmony with your sisters-in-law. Don't be aggressive..."

Aunt Xue was in a happy and excited mood, but mixed with reluctance. The parents of Xue had only one son and one daughter. Although this son is much better than before, it is still difficult to let go completely. This daughter is smart and quiet, His grandeur and grace have always been his favorite, and he is also outstanding among relatives and friends.

It's a pity that the Xue family is now in decline, which has delayed my daughter. Fortunately, by chance, I was able to marry into the Feng family, and Feng Ziying is indeed worthy of her daughter, and the most rare thing is that the daughter is satisfied with the other party, and the other party also loves her daughter. Waiting for all kinds of speculation, it can be said that happiness is added to happiness.

"Mother, the child knows."

"It's good to know that Ziying is a good gentleman, and he has already shouldered heavy responsibilities at a young age. When you marry girl Qin, you must take care of the overall situation. Don't delay Ziying's retreat. Manage the inner courtyard well and let him feel at ease about his official duties. ..."

"Mother, the child will definitely remember it, please rest assured, mother..."

The two bridal sedan chairs have already been prepared, and behind them is the procession to see off the relatives. The bridal sedan chairs are one big and one small, and there are some differences, but as a concubine, her status is much higher than that of a concubine. , unlike concubinage, a small sedan chair can be carried in casually.

For a short stay at the woman's side, the pick-up team will have a simple meal at the woman's side, because this process will take more than an hour, and they will return after a simple meal.

This time, the movement was bigger, the speed was slower, and it was winding and stretching, and it also welcomed more people to watch.

"Brother Junyu, it's been hard work for you as an intellectual. After this marriage, Ziying should treat you well."

Yang Sichang came here hand in hand with the Hou brothers, the congratulatory gift had already been delivered a few days ago, today he just came to congratulate him, they are all Jinshi of the same discipline, and Feng Ziying can be regarded as a good scholar of the North, now the Huguang scholars and the North The local scholars are relatively close, and they move around frequently. For example, the Hou brothers who have a very close relationship with Yang Sichang are all Henan scholars.

"I'm just here as a doorman. The guests I know are basically our classmates from the same department or the academy. Why do we need such a big fanfare?" Lian Guoshi smiled slightly, "Wen Ruo, the Ministry of War has a hard time this year, and next year will be even harder , how is your father's Jingxiang army training?"

As soon as the Jingxiang Army was mentioned, Yang Sichang's face became gloomy, "The War Bureau of the Ministry of War and the Military Weapons Bureau have been rotten to the bone. I was in the Wuxuan Qingli Department, and I didn't know much about the situation there. Until my father's urgent need for various I didn’t expect that the workshop of the Beijing Central Armaments Bureau could only make three-eyed firecrackers, which had been eliminated long ago. When I asked them how the new firecrackers were made, they actually replied that it was because The technical requirements are too high, and the production price is expensive, so after two batches of trial production, because the range and accuracy are not satisfactory, so they are simply shelved, these Luli!"

Lian Guoshi was a little surprised, "Could it be that the Ministry of War has no workshop in Beijing to make it?"

Yang Sichang shook his head with a cold face: "The production can be produced, but the quality is low and the price is high, and the production period is long, so it can't quench the thirst of the near. I really have to wait for the Beijing and Central People of the Ordnance Bureau to produce it. I heard that Ziying persuaded Shanxi merchants and Foshan Zhuangji to jointly open a military workshop in Yongping Prefecture. The scale is not small. Before the Mongols invaded, they were already trial-producing new firearms. Yongping came back and said that some of Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong that are currently incorporated into Jizhen are firecrackers produced by Foshan Zhuangji, and some are produced by Yongping.

Feng Ziying also mentioned Lian Guoshi, but I didn’t expect the quality of the firecrackers produced by Foshan Zhuangji to be as good as that of Foshan Zhuangji. You must know that the firecrackers of Foshan Zhuangji are the most famous in Dazhou. The new firecrackers of the Ministry of War are basically from Foshan. Zhuangji, I didn't expect Foshan Zhuangji and Shanshan merchants to join hands in Yongping to form a production scale and capacity so quickly.

"Then can Yongping's production scale catch up with your father's needs?" Lian Guoshi hurriedly asked.

"I just want to ask Ziying. Ziying was too busy a few days ago, so I don't feel embarrassed, but now I can't wait." Yang Sichang took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "Yongning Xuanwei Sishe's family and Yang Yinglong joined forces. .”

"What?!" Lian Guoshi almost cried out, "What about Shui'an's family?"

"There hasn't been any movement on the Anjia side for the time being, but Wang Ziteng has been fighting in Shizhouwei, Yongshun Xuanweisi and Baojingzhou. Now there are rumors that the imperial court is going to take advantage of the situation to take advantage of the situation to take advantage of the situation in western Hunan, southern Sichuan and Guizhou. All the chieftains of the state will be reformed and returned to the native land, and those who disobey will be punished as rioters,..."

Lian was startled and angry about the affairs of the state, he couldn't even care about the confidant, he grabbed Yang Sichang and walked aside, the Hou brothers also looked at each other in blank dismay, they had just heard Yang Sichang mention it.

"Why didn't the court and the local government refute the rumors in time? This is clearly Yang Yinglong's poisonous scheme, which is to persuade the chieftains around him to be tied up on the same boat as him..."

Although Yongning Xuanweisi’s Shejia is far inferior to Bozhou in terms of strength, its geographical location is important, forming a triangle with Bozhou and Shuixi, and more importantly, the Shejia and Shui’an’s family are in-laws. The closeness, coupled with the fact that the Xuanwei Division of Yongning just hit the waists and abdomens of Xuzhou and Luzhou in southern Sichuan like a sharp knife, will make Sun Chengzong have no time to estimate Bozhou at once, so he can only deal with Yongning first.

Yang Sichang smiled wryly, "Why didn't the government refute the rumors, but Wang Ziteng went on a killing spree at the Pingcha Cave Division, and then abruptly turned around to attack, so that several chieftains from Jingzhou and Yongshun Xuanweisi colluded with the Yang family of Banzhou to commit crimes." In order to exterminate them, they also falsely claimed that several chieftains in the southern part of Shizhouwei participated in the burning of their supplies of food and grass, and directly called them rebels. Now Shizhouwei is also full of turmoil,..."

Lian Guoshi stabilized his mind, thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid the chieftain over there will say that he didn't have two intentions when he saw Yang Yinglong's rebellion in Bozhou. Seek peace from the imperial court, so that they can advance, attack, retreat, and defend, forcing the imperial court to compromise with them on this issue, so that they can continue to occupy,..."

Yang Sichang understood the meaning of practicing state affairs, and continued: "But brother Junyu, do you think they won't directly intervene?"

"At least they won't rashly intervene when they can't see the situation clearly. These chieftains are not stupid!" Lian Guoshi said angrily, "Wang Ziteng is trying to force these chieftains back!"
