Take charge of Ascension

Chapter 58 Green Camp

In Qiaomu Town and his party, Ding Dian not only met his expectations, but also exceeded the task, thanks to the help of Zhao Ji and Tianhong.

Returning to Zengjia Village, Zhao Ji and his party returned with a full load, five carts full of cloth, fine wine, and various ingredients.

Before the wedding, I got such a large cart of goods, everything is ready, I only owe the east wind, and I just wait for the wedding day to come as scheduled.

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the auspicious day of the zodiac, Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua's wedding, on this day, the village is full of joy, as if every household has a happy event.

In a small village like Zengjia Village, the clan is the link, and any happy event or funeral for every family or household is a major event for the whole village.

The wedding of Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua was grandly prepared, but also very simple. The grandness was reflected in the excitement, and the whole village participated in it, while the simplicity was manifested in the ceremony.

Marriage ceremonies have different manifestations in different places. In the world of Liancheng Jue written by Jin Yong, the wedding ceremony of the children of a wealthy family is quite cumbersome and can cause death.

Now that he came to heaven, Ding Dian simply went to do as the Romans did, and reduced the wedding ceremony one by one, and simplified it to only one worship to the heaven and earth, two to the high hall, and three to the husband and wife.

After the three steps of etiquette, it was originally sent to the bridal chamber, but Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua put this step at night, and at this time, they had a feast with the whole village.

Ding Dian's wedding banquet was grandly held, dozens of tables were set up, and all the people, old and young, from the whole village came to attend, drinking happily and wishing the two couples well.

On the main table, as today's protagonists, Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua sat at the main seats, accompanied by Zhao Ji, Tianhong, Yuan Chengzhi, Song Yuanqiao and several old men in the village, eating meat and drinking.

"Brother Ding, congratulations, you finally got your wish and married Miss Ling. Oh, no, it should be called Mrs. Ding now."

Picking up the wine bowl, Zhao Ji gestured to Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua, and after some words, he drank the cup to the brim.

Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua didn't dare to be negligent, they got up together, picked up the wine bowl in front of them, and drank it all in one gulp, Ding Dian bowed his hands solemnly to Zhao Ji, and said gratefully: "Zhao Ji, Shuanghua and I can be together , and they got married as they wished, thanks to your help, I, Ding Dian, am really grateful."

"Yes, Brother Zhao, Brother Ding and I were able to meet again and become husband and wife, all thanks to you, thank you Shuanghua."

Ling Shuanghua also bowed to Zhao Ji, saying very gratefully.

"Hahaha, Mrs. Ding is too polite. Brother Ding and I hit it off right away, and we feel like brothers. If you help a little, there is no credit for it."

Zhao Ji laughed three times, waved his hand slightly, and said indifferently.

"Hahaha, that's right, you and my brother, it seems outrageous to say these words, come on, happy today, let's drink two more glasses."

Ding Dian picked up the wine jar, filled Zhao Ji's bowl with wine, poured another bowl of wine for everyone present, and invited them generously.

"Everyone come together."

On the big day, everyone raised their glasses together and drank happily without taking Ding Dian's face away.

Half of the people here are experts in martial arts, and their internal strength is not weak. Similarly, they can drink a lot. Once they really drink together, jar after jar of wine will be drained in one gulp.

When he was [-]% drunk, Ding Dian became excited and arrogant. He held up the wine bowls and toasted all the tables. Seeing his slightly crazy appearance in excitement, today he wanted to seek a drunk.

"Hey, brother, it seems that we came at the wrong time. There is a happy event here. Isn't it inappropriate for us to make trouble?"

When everyone was drinking, a strange voice suddenly came from the entrance of the village, and the words were quite unfriendly.

"Snapped!"

"Oh, brother, why did you hit me?"

The voice sounded again, with a bit of aggrieved look.

"What kind of trouble is it? You should say this. We are here for a wedding, but we have to collect this year's filial money by the way."

A rough voice sounded.

Following these two words of conversation, a large group of people rushed into Zengjia Village. The first two were riding tall horses, wearing tight short combat uniforms, with swords hanging from the waists of the horses.

Both of them have the appearance of middle-aged people, one looks treacherous, and the other looks ugly. When people see them, they will think that these two are not good people.

Behind the two, followed by a group of servants, there are three to forty people, all carrying knives and swords, full of murderous looks, but they did not ride horses.

This group of people rushed into Zengjia Village aggressively, bringing up countless dust and breaking the festive atmosphere in the village in an instant.

The big day was the happiest time, but Ding Dian was really angry to the extreme when people came to disturb him on the so-called wedding night, one of the four great happy events in life.

"Who are you? How dare you come here to make trouble before my wedding day."

Holding the wine jar in one hand and the wine bowl in the other, Zhao Ji walked in front of a group of outsiders drunkenly, and sternly shouted.

"Hahaha, this brother's words are wrong. Our brothers are not here to cause trouble, but to get money. Since it happens to be our big wedding, our brothers don't mind having a glass of wedding wine."

The treacherous and vicious middle-aged man riding on the tall horse laughed loudly, his eyes sparkled with cunning, and said loudly.

"If you want to drink wedding wine, I welcome it, but what do you mean by coming to get money?"

Although he was eighty-nine percent drunk, Zhao Ji was not completely confused, he immediately caught the point of the other party's words, and asked back.

"Boy, listen carefully. This area is more than ten miles away, and it's all my land in the Green Camp. Every year when winter comes, every village pays tribute to me in the Green Camp. This year, we came here a little later. You guys Hurry up and hand over the silver."

Another ugly-looking, big-bodied, middle-aged man pointed at Ding Dian and said loudly, his tone full of arrogance.

This group of people rampantly entered the village, which also disturbed Zhao Ji, Tianhong, and Zeng Yu. After hearing some of these people's intentions, Zhao Ji couldn't help asking Zeng Yu: "Brother Zeng, what happened?" matter, who are they."

"Brother Zhao, in the nearby mountains and forests, there is a group of bandits who have formed a force and call themselves the Green Camp. They rob people who come and go from time to time, and even force the nearby villages to offer money every year to keep them safe. Unexpectedly, they actually came today."

With worried eyes, Zeng Yu explained to Zhao Ji with an apologetic face.

"I see."

Knowing the reason of this matter, Zhao Ji suddenly realized.
