Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 239 Wedding
When Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili came to Xuanzhen, they naturally received a warm welcome as their natal family.

Although Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili are both from the Horqin tribe, they wear Ming people's clothes and comb their hair in a bun like Ming people. In addition, they speak Chinese well, so the people in Xuanzhen The common people thought they were all Daming people.

As for their subordinates, Zhao Wen also arranged them in the vacated barracks.

After all, the people of Xuan Town have been harassed by the Tartars all year round, and few of them can speak Chinese. If they slip into the street and be discovered by the people of Xuan Town, it will cause panic at that time. .

Hai Lanzhu's identity was known to few people except Zhao Wen.Cao Huachun had also met Hai Lanzhu a few times, and although he had heard about Hai Lanzhu's identity, he had never asked about it.

So what if Hai Lanzhu is really from the Horqin Department?Zhao Wen is not afraid, what is he afraid of?

As for Chongzhen, he only knew that there was Hai Lanzhu, but he didn't know Hai Lanzhu's identity.

Cao Huachun never told Chongzhen about Hai Lanzhu's identity, and Chongzhen never asked.

After all, he was deep in the imperial palace, and he was fooled by the Donglin Party members, who grounded Jin Yiwei and Dongchang.So his sources of news are really limited, most of the time, Chongzhen is blind.

"Are we really not going to talk?"

In Xuanzhen City, in a festively decorated front yard, Manzhu Xiliyi looked at Wu Keshan tangled.

Wu Keshan looked at Manzhu Xili, and scolded in a low voice: "I said, why have you been entangled with this matter? Haven't I said all about this matter? Let's talk about it later, now Hai Lanzhu is about to get married. Let's talk about it later, I don't want other bad things to happen at Hai Lanzhu's wedding."

Manzhu Xili looked at Wu Keshan, sighed heavily, and walked towards the backyard where Hai Lanzhu was.

"Aha, is Abu really not here?"

As soon as Hai Lanzhu walked into the yard, she saw Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili walking in.

"Abu didn't come, but now something happened in the tribe, he asked us to come."

Wu Keshan looked at Hai Lanzhu and said with a smile on his face.

When Hai Lanzhu heard this, her expression darkened instantly.

"Abu told me before that when I got married, he would definitely dress me up beautifully. Why doesn't it count now?" Hai Lanzhu looked to the north and said in a depressed mood.

Seeing this, Wu Keshan hurriedly comforted him: "Abu wanted to come a long time ago, but some things happened in the tribe. Now Abu is dealing with these things, and he will come after these things are dealt with. But, this time It might be a little later."

"Yes, yes, it's just that you can come later. Don't worry, we are the two of you to get married, and we can make these things beautiful for you." Manzhu Xili patted her chest , said loudly.

"By the way, when is the wedding date?" Wu Keshan sat on a stone bench in the yard and looked at Hai Lanzhu.

Hai Lanzhu sat across from Wu Keshan, playing with her hanging hair with both hands, "The big wedding is set on the day of the Chinese New Year, but the wedding ceremony here is very complicated, and there are still many things to do before the wedding officially takes place." There are things to do. Tomorrow seems to be some sort of narc."

"Tomorrow is Na Cai, thankfully we arrived in time, otherwise, if we weren't there when Na Cai was here, wouldn't you be going to die of embarrassment?" Wu Keshan said with a smile.

Wu Keshan also has a lot of research on Han culture and is familiar with Han weddings.

The first ceremony of the six wedding ceremonies is nacai. Nacai means that the man's family invites a matchmaker to the woman's family to propose marriage. After the woman's family agrees to discuss marriage, the man's family prepares gifts and goes to propose marriage.

"You have the nerve to say, didn't Zhao Wen inform you a long time ago? Why did you arrive at this time?" Hai Lanzhu looked at Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili with a resentful expression.

"Didn't I come here? What are you afraid of?" Wu Keshan comforted.

On the second day, Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili were neatly dressed and sat in the hall, waiting quietly for Zhao Wen.Not only these two people, but even Liu Wenzhong sat in the hall neatly dressed, waiting quietly.

When the sun rose in mid-air, Qi Qingtian led a large group of people into the courtyard with various gifts.

"Mr. Liu!" As soon as he entered the hall, Qi Qingtian first bowed his hands to Liu Wenzhong and bowed.

"There are two more Taijis." Qi Qingtian looked at Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili again.

The whole process of Nacai was originally quite complicated, but after Liu Wenzhong simplified it, it became much simpler, and the whole process ended after a short time.

After Nace was asked for his name, this process did not take long.

The entire process before the wedding was carried out quickly. When the wedding day officially arrived, the entire General Military Mansion was dressed up happily, and countless servants were busy in the General Military Mansion, making arrangements for the wedding.

Zhao Wen sat in the hall, put on the unicorn suit bestowed by Chongzhen, with a big red flower hanging on his chest, and kept smiling.

"My lord, it will be an auspicious time soon, and the wedding party is ready." Qi Qingtian looked at Zhao Wen and said slowly.

Today Liu Wenzhong is Li Xiaoying's family member, so he is by Li Xiaoying's side, not here.

Zhao Wen nodded and said slowly, "In that case, let's go."

Zhao Wen stood up and headed outside accompanied by Qi Qingtian and the others.

Li Xiaosan ran around beside Zhao Wen as if he had taken a stimulant.

As for Zhao Xiaoni, holding a candied haws with a happy face, followed behind Li Xiaosan, fluttering her calf.

Everyone in the General Military Mansion put on their new clothes, with happy smiles on their faces.

Accompanied by Qi Qingtian, Zhao Wen headed for the convoy that had already been prepared outside.

In the entire convoy, those who went to welcome the relatives were all dressed in bright red clothes, and the two sedan chairs were decorated with red satin.

The coachmen carrying the sedan chair were Zhao Daniu and the other generals. Originally, these matters were not up to them, but they insisted on carrying the sedan chair. Zhao Wen couldn't resist them, so he had to agree to them.

In front of the convoy, there was a tall horse with red flowers on it. Zhao Wen walked to the front of the tall horse and got on the horse directly.

Qi Qingtian looked at Zhao Wen who was getting ready, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Fire the cannon, let's go."

As Qi Qingtian's words fell, more than a dozen firecrackers were lit by the attendants who had already prepared.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Zhao Wen rode a tall horse slowly towards the front.

Not only the sound of firecrackers, but when the procession to greet relatives set off, musicians standing on both sides of the procession with suona began to blow and beat.

Every time the welcoming team passes through an intersection, a firecracker will be set off, and there are crowds of people watching at almost every intersection.

Zhao Wen looked at these onlookers, took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, and threw them directly at the people.

Seeing the scattered copper coins, the common people became excited, "Thank you, Mr. Zongbing, for the reward. I wish you an early son. You will be a prince forever."

The people yelled a few auspicious words at Zhao Wen, and then rushed to grab the copper coins on the ground.

Because it was Zhao Wen's big wedding, there were a lot of people who came to watch. As for those brats, they ran directly to the front of the wedding procession, blinking their eyes and asking Zhao Wen for candies.

Zhao Wen looked at these brats, and said to Qi Qingtian who was walking behind him with a smile on his face, "Go, give the candies and copper coins we prepared to these brats."

Qi Qingtian smiled, and then asked two big men in red clothes to carry a wooden box to the front of the team.

Qi Qingtian looked at these brats, opened the box directly, grabbed a few handfuls of copper coins from inside, and threw them at these brats.

"Thank you for your reward, my lord will give birth to a precious son early, and my lord will live forever." After receiving the copper coins and wedding candies, these bratty boys arched their hands at Zhao Wen, kept bowing to Zhao Wen with a smile on their faces, and said auspicious words.

Zhao Wen looked at these brats, smiled and shook his head, "They're pretty clever, they'll please people."

After Qi Qingtian watched the brats retreat, he carried the box back again.

"Let's go." Qi Qingtian shouted at the convoy at the top of his voice.

When Zhao Wen came to the courtyard where Li Xiaoying and Hai Lanzhu were, nearly an hour had passed.

Originally, it only took two to three quarters of an hour to travel, but it was delayed a lot because of the people watching.

Zhao Wen looked at the courtyard covered with red cloth and jumped off the horse.

Those musicians played harder at this time.

Zhao Wen looked at the yard and said with a slight smile, "Let's go!"

At this time, brothers Liu Wenzhong and Wu Keshan were sitting in the hall. Zhao Wen walked into the hall, looked at them, took tea from the servants on the side, and said to Liu Wenzhong with a smile on his face: "Yue Zhang, Please drink tea."

Because Li Xiaoying recognized Liu Wenzhong as her godfather, it was normal for Zhao Wen to call Liu Wenzhong his father-in-law.

Liu Wenzhong laughed, took the teacup from Zhao Wen, and drank it down.

"Xiaoying, I'll leave it to you. This is a child with a hard life. You have to treat her well in the future. Otherwise, the old man won't let you go." Liu Wenzhong looked at Zhao Wen, heaved a sigh of relief, and calmed down. Said loudly.

"Haha, of course, of course, this is for sure. I will definitely treat Li Xiaoying well, so don't worry." Zhao Wen said to Liu Wenzhong with a smile on his face, and then handed the empty teacup to the servant, Another cup filled with tea was exchanged from the servant's hand.

Zhao Wen held the teacup, looked at Wu Keshan who was sitting beside him, and said with a smile on his face, "Uncle."

Wu Keshan nodded at Zhao Wen, then took the teacup, and drank it down, "I won't say anything else, Hai Lanzhu grew up on the grassland, and her temper may be a bit wild, so in normal times, please invite Take care."

"Haha, it's natural. Hai Lanzhu came into my door, of course I will treat her well, so don't worry about that." Zhao Wen said with a smile on his face.

"My lord, this auspicious time is coming soon, please hurry up and invite the bride out." Qi Qingtian approached Zhao Wen and said slowly to Zhao Wen with a smile on his face.

Zhao Wenwen smiled slightly, cupped his hands at Liu Wenzhong and Wu Keshan, and then walked towards the backyard.

In order not to embarrass Zhao Wen, Hai Lanzhu and Li Xiaoying sat directly in the same room, so as to avoid Zhao Wen's troubles when he chose that person first.

Zhao Wen stood in front of the door hung with a red cloth, cleared his throat, and knocked on the door with a smile on his face.

"Where is Xiqian? Want to enter the door without Xiqian? Impossible?"

Before Zhao Wen could speak, there was a sound from inside the door.

Those inside were the servant girls of the mansion. They blocked the door and yelled at Zhao Wen, "Put the happy money in quickly, otherwise, don't even think about entering the door."

A wide and fat maidservant stood firmly against the door and yelled at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen tried to push the door, but found that it wouldn't move, so he took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them in along the door.

"No, you gave too little, we want money, we want money."

The maid behind the door stuffed the copper money into her pocket, and shouted loudly at Zhao Wen outside the door.

Li Xiaoying and Hai Lanzhu were sitting on the bed with red hijabs on their heads. Hearing this movement, she couldn't help but smile.

Hai Lanzhu took off her red hijab, and shouted excitedly at the maid who blocked the door: "Let Zhao Wen fetch the money for you, and don't let him in if you don't have money. I don't have the price to marry my aunt, but No way."

Zhao Daniu and the people carrying the sedan chair stood outside the gate. They looked at Zhao Wen who hadn't come out for a long time, their faces were full of doubts, "It's been such a long time, why hasn't your lord come out yet?"

"Could it be that the adults were blocked outside the door?" Song Hu interjected suspiciously.

Zhao Daniu stared at him, and suddenly realized: "I said why your lord hasn't come out yet. It turns out that the door is blocked. Brothers, rush in and snatch the bride out. Go!"

Zhao Daniu raised his arms and rushed in directly leading the crowd.

"Sir, here I come!"

As soon as Zhao Daniu rushed into the backyard, he saw Zhao Wen standing at the door stuffing copper coins inside.

Zhao Wen looked at them, laughed loudly and said, "Haha, you came at the right time, rush in for me."

After Zhao Wen gave an order, Zhao Daniu took a deep breath and rushed towards the door.

Not only Zhao Daniu, but also Song Hu and the others rushed towards the door.

A moment later, there was an exclamation from inside the door, and then the door fell directly inside.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the maid in the door directly hid to the side, Zhao Daniu and others fell to the ground directly.

Looking at the opened door, Zhao Wen laughed, then walked in directly, and brought Li Xiaoying and Hai Lanzhu out.

When the two brides got into the sedan chair, the musician played harder.

Zhao Wen sat on the horse, looked at the sedan chair with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Go home!"

"Fire the cannon, go home!"

Qi Qingtian stood behind Zhao Wen and shouted at his followers.

The attendants with firecrackers hurriedly took out the prepared firecrackers and lit them directly.

Amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, Zhao Wen led the welcoming team towards the General Military Mansion slowly.
