My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 157 Xu Dacheng is God

There is Xu Da's temple in Yingtian City?

This is actually true, and it's just outside the Treasure Gate, with an excellent location.

This temple was originally prepared for craftsmen who were going to settle outside the city, and it was a Town God's Temple.

Zhu Gaoxu promised to prepare the house for the craftsmen, and he did it.

Just outside Jubao Gate, there are stretches of houses.

Although each household is small, it is a detached courtyard with two floors.

Below is the living room, kitchen, warehouse, and above is the bedroom for sleeping.And at the end of each alley, there is a well, which is very convenient for people to come and fetch water.

You must know that large-scale settlements are the most fatal problem of sanitation. If one is not handled well, the plague will spread, and there will be heavy deaths.

On this issue, Chinese cities are very experienced. Big cities like Yingtian have a complete sewer and sewage system... Yingtian's city walls and drainage faucets are still working hard even after 600 years. working.

In addition, there are a considerable number of people who specialize in cleaning the streets. Some people even come here every morning to collect excrement and urine, take them to the fertile fields in the countryside, and keep the city clean. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

With such a configuration, what else is there to say?

Even compared to the slums of the third brother in the later generations, it is much stronger.

Tang Sai'er ran up and down in this new house, as happy as a bird.

They finally have a house of their own.

Lin San's salary has reached 120 guan notes, and he chose to repay 720 guan notes per month, which is [-] guan notes a year. It will take five years to repay the loan.

In other words, at that time, this house really belongs to them.But at this time they can already enjoy it in advance.

Finally, there is no need to rely on others, and no need to rent a house to be angry.

I finally have my own house!
Lin San sat on the threshold, looking around the small yard, only about ten square meters.Behind them is the same small two-story building, which is their warm home.

How would you describe this feeling?
Maybe this is happiness.

At this time, there were footsteps behind him, and he turned his head suddenly, just in time to see Tang Sai'er.

"Sister... shall we get married?"

Lin San's voice was very low, and he seemed a little timid.

Unexpectedly, Tang Sai'er agreed immediately, "I've already belonged to Third Brother, you can figure it out."

This made Lin San embarrassed.

"Sister, it stands to reason that you should invite relatives and friends to get married, have a big banquet, three matchmakers and six certificates, and take eight sedan chairs to carry you in. That's the way to look. Also, as a bride, you should also buy wedding dress jewelry... All these count, I'm afraid it's not a small amount of money, but I can't get it out now."

Tang Sai'er stared at Lin San's serious face and couldn't help laughing.

"Third brother, you are an idiot... We escaped from our hometown in Shandong and came here. We are lucky to survive. What else can we expect? Let me tell you, you don't need any dowry jewelry, just buy a piece of floral cloth , I can make clothes myself. If I want to, I can just pick the cheapest hairpin and just buy one. What three media and six certificates, and eight sedan chairs are all nonsense. We support each other, we have long been intimate with each other, and we still need those Imaginary?"

"As for relatives and friends, those in our hometown can't do it anymore. We simply invite the craftsmen and friends from the bookstore. The big guys get together and have a meal. I will buy how much food, wine and vegetables are needed. Keep them The big guy eats well and spends less."

Tang Sai'er silently calculated in her heart, "Although I said so, the drinks are not cheap, and thousands of treasures can't be short. I'm also doing some business now, trying to make money, the two of us will pay it back together, it won't be long I can pay it off. Although I live in the house now, if I don’t pay it off, I feel uneasy.”

Listening to his wife's logical calculations, Lin San showed a happy smile on his face.

That's right, no matter how difficult things are, as long as two people are of one heart and one mind, there is nothing that cannot be overcome.

"These things are all up to you, but when people get married, they have to pray to heaven and earth. The old people on both sides are not here, what do you think should be done?"

Without the witness of the parents, and without the presence of a matchmaker, this marriage is always a little tasteless...

Tang Sai'er also lowered his head and kept thinking. His mind turned quickly, and suddenly, he thought of something.

"Third brother, you said we go to the Temple of the City God, worship the God of the City God, and let him be a witness for us, how about it?"

Lin San took a deep breath, it seems that this idea is not bad.

The city god was the god who guarded the city for a long time. In the Ming Dynasty, the city god had another meaning.The imperial court has magistrates and prefects, who sit in the city.

The City God is the official who guards the city in the underworld.

Bless the people of a city and protect the safety of one side.

For example, Xu Da, after his death, was named the City God of Peking because of his great contributions.

Sitting in Juyongguan, protecting the safety of the land of Yanyun.

Go to the Temple of the City God, worship the God of the City God...let him witness the marriage for us.

"It's a shame you figured it out!"

Lin San couldn't help laughing and said, "Hurry up and take out the wages I saved to buy new clothes, we both have it."

Tang Sai'er happily agreed... "I have been optimistic about it for a long time, and I have negotiated the price with him, and I am just waiting for the third brother to agree!"

The two young people were busy working and busy with their marriage... After buying brand new cloth, Tang Sai'er made new clothes for the two of them by himself.

The owner of the silk and satin shop is very kind, and when he heard that they were married, he gave him a foot of cloth.

Clothes and shoes are enough.

Tang Sai'er went to the silver building again, hesitated again and again, bought a gold hairpin, and a bracelet... When the new clothes were finished and the jewelry was put on, hot tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and wept with joy.

She also slightly modified Lin San's clothes to make it the best.

It was another two days, and after finally waiting for the bookstore to rest, Lin San took the time to change into brand new clothes with Tang Sai'er, dressed cleanly and decently, and hurried to the Town God's Temple.

It's not unfamiliar here, they used to come to watch the excitement.

It's just that I've been too busy recently, so I don't have time to come here.

This time when they arrived in front of the Town God's Temple, they suddenly discovered, why is it a little different?

Not to mention that the Town God's Temple is becoming more and more lively, and the people coming in and out are different from before. Obviously, there are many well-dressed people wearing silk and satin.

Burning incense and worshiping is very lively.

When Lin San asked curiously, someone laughed, "You young man, you are too ill-informed. Three days ago, the Town God Temple invited a new god!"

"New God? Isn't it for the City God?" Lin San was taken aback. If they were replaced, they would come in vain.

"It's for the City God, but this City God is different. It's the King of Zhongshan!"

"King of Zhongshan?"

Lin San was taken aback, "Old man, is this true?"

The old man smiled and said: "My beard is white, how can I still lie to you? Speaking of which, when I was young, I actually met King Zhongshan a few times. He is majestic and domineering. Hero! When alive, he opened up the borders of Ming Dynasty, and when he was dead, he protected the common people. It’s amazing!"

The old man gave his heartfelt approval.

Lin San was startled, but also overjoyed.

"It would be even better if the king of Zhongshan gave us a marriage certificate!"

He pulled Tang Sai'er up, and the couple followed the crowd into the temple.

After they came in, it seemed as if they had entered a whole new world... There were not only Xu Da, but also many portraits of the founding generals.

It turned out that Geng Bingwen supervised the construction of statues for the heroic ancestral hall over there, and they also worshiped the founding heroes, so many people were invited here.

There are not only portraits of the founding heroes, but also the achievements of each of them, the titles they received, etc...

The temple is full of incense and fire, and the people are constantly flowing.

Among them, those who went to pay homage to Xu Da were the largest and most comprehensive... Some people came to ask for money, some came to ask for a child, some sick people prayed for recovery, and some asked the prince to help him uphold justice and wash away his grievances...

Good guy, Xu Da is busier dead than alive, he has taken care of everything, and his business is really extensive.

Lin San and Tang Sai'er looked at it for a while before entering the main hall. They didn't have much time, and there were still so many people waiting behind... So the two knelt down before the statue and kowtowed to the King of Zhongshan, asking to witness their marriage, and to grant a gift. Happy young couple.

After kowtowing, they were about to leave in a hurry, when suddenly someone shouted: "A hundred years together!"

I don't know who started it, but the people behind heard that someone came here to witness the marriage, and immediately got excited.

"Good luck!"

"A match made in heaven!"

"Born your son early!"

……

These blessings made Tang Sai'er's face flushed.She also lowered her head in shame.

Lin San was equally excited. He held his fists and kept thanking, "Thank you folks and elders, thank you for your blessings, our husband and wife have thanked you!"

The two squeezed out of the crowd with great difficulty... There were friendly smiles behind them, and all kinds of auspicious words were heard endlessly.

At this moment, Lin San felt that his decision was too correct.

For an ordinary family with a small family, there is no need for those complicated wedding ceremonies.

It's that simple and better.

As long as two people know each other well, can treat each other sincerely, and support each other, that's all.

What the two of them didn't know was that even though they fled, the discussion afterwards was even more heated... The big guy seems to have discovered a new world.

Come to Chenghuang Temple to get married and ask the king of Zhongshan to be the witness of the marriage, which is very dignified.

It spread throughout Yingtian almost instantly, and then there was an endless stream of people who came to Chenghuang Temple to pray for a marriage certificate...

This time it's fun, and Xu Da has one more responsibility.

Xu Jingchang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and it took him a long time to digest the fact that his old man became a god instantly.

If things go on like this, will the Xuwang Temple Fair replace the Guandi Temple?
At that time, the big guy will not worship Guan Yunchang, but Zhongshan King Xu Da.

It seems a bit unbelievable.

"That's not what I advocate building a ancestral hall for heroes and honoring the heroes of the founding of the country!" Xu Jingchang muttered.

Zhu Gaochi, who also heard the news, was very happy, "What do you care about these things, this is a good thing for the Xu family!"

Xu Jingchang took a deep breath, and suddenly smiled, "Xia Yuanji and the others said that local weddings and funerals require the help of gentry and talented talents... If it can be so simple and grand, it will be a good opportunity to change customs."

Xu Jingchang suddenly realized something, maybe he could offend someone again.

It's just that when he was planning, there was a censor who wrote a letter first, "Your Majesty, countless foolish men and women went to Xuwang Temple to worship. I am afraid that Xu's family will ascend to the top and cause disaster. Please hurry up!" Decree, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the red scarf!"
