But different from the traditional etiquette, there are nine cars behind Feng Sen at this moment. According to the order, he should first go to Wang Sima's mansion to pick up Li Baojing, then go to the church to pick up Gisela, and finally go to the headquarters of the West Britain Company to pick up Arvo .
The sun gradually sank to the west, and the afterglow fell on the streets of Hamburg, on the shoulders of the people in Hamburg, and on the red cloth among the shops and branches.
As the wheels turned, the servants of the Wang family cleared the streets of Benfang early to make it easier for Feng Sen's carriage to enter.
The bride, Li Baojing, waited outside the door early. Unlike the weddings of later generations, the wedding dress at this time was red for men and green for women, so Li Baojing was wearing an apple-green fine satin butterfly wide-sleeved gown at the moment, and the golden drapes on his head shone in the light of the setting sun.
There is no such thing as a red hijab custom in the Tang and Song dynasties. The bride always stands openly, holding a fan to cover half of her face. But fan ceremony.
But it's a pity that the people around Feng Sen are all warriors, so it is said that Wang Sima himself has no poetic talent. Long." After the crooked poem, Feng Sen finally recited a poem that Li Baojing had prepared and taught him in advance, and successfully made the bride take down the fan.
With the help of his servants, Li Baojing got into the black-painted car and followed Feng Sen to continue walking towards the church. The two brides also changed into green clothes, but Gisela wore a blue-green smock, while Arvo Put on a purple gauze.
As the bride-seeking team returned to the avenue, two-thirds of the sky had turned into indigo black, but the street was still like daylight, and the light from the lanterns shone red, blending with the bright white moonlight.
In the crowd, men, women and children are all dressed in costumes, holding flowers and waving silk ribbons of various colors, cheering and singing continuously.
"Fathers and folks." When the carriage drove to the front of the general's mansion, Feng Sen turned his horse's head and bowed his hands to the crowd, "Thanks to everyone's kindness, you can come to celebrate my wedding today."
"You are too polite, handsome."
"Long live the handsome!"
The response to Feng Sen was still cheers.
"In order to thank you for your love, I set up five stages inside and outside the city, divided into three languages, and set up fifty tables of flowing water seats in front of each stage. As long as you have a valid certificate from the city, you can enjoy it for free. Until tomorrow morning!"
"Oh oh oh——" Feng Sen was greeted with even louder cheers.
After leaving the gate of the general's mansion, Feng Sen can modify the wedding customs as he likes, but once he enters the interior of the general's mansion, he has to follow Aunt Zhu's wishes.
"This slap ceremony is a ceremony to be performed in front of the wedding room after entering the gate. Why did you slap it at the door of someone's house?" Aunt Zhu asked someone to change Feng Sen's clothes while taking off his outer robe.
"Aunt Zhu, hurry up and sit in the main seat. When it's time to worship your parents, you won't be able to find anyone."
Asking Aunt Zhu to sit down at the chair outside, Feng Sen got a chance to rest for a while.
Sitting down on the teacher's chair without any image, Feng Sen wanted to take a sip of water, but suddenly he touched an envelope and picked it up suspiciously.
"Ador's letter to you."
The crooked font made it obvious that it was Nie Yinniang. Feng Sen had ordered that all letters written by Ador should be delivered as soon as possible.
With a sigh, Feng Sen opened the letter.
"Father has been very angry recently, brother Pepin refused his father's request, and would rather stay in Iberia than accept the throne, rather than go to Worms to get married.
Brother Pepin found a good reason for himself. He said that Abdullah, the caliph of Cordoba, was critically ill and he could not leave easily. His father could only make him the Earl of Barcelona.
I heard that my father is going to force you to go to Bavaria next spring, maybe to let you go to the south together. Although I really want to see you, I don't think you want to come to the south.
So, this year's war between you and Villetti may take a little longer.
I am writing "Charlie's Biography" recently, and my father likes it very much. I asked him for a few eunuchs as companions. Now I can freely enter and exit the palace. Although I can’t go too far, it is much better than before.
Feng Sen, I have grown taller, I am now two heads taller than before, and I am so beautiful now that I can compare that Alvo to the stinky gutter.
Feng Sen, I miss you very much. I heard that you are going to get married and have three wives. It's really annoying. Although I know you have to get married, it's still annoying.
When you see me wearing a golden white butterfly and a floral dress, you will regret it to death. At that time, you will give me a grander wedding than theirs.
By the way, I'm still pissed off! "
Looking at the letter written in regular Chinese characters, Feng Sen showed a slight smile. This little girl is quite talented in language. She has learned so many words so quickly. Why didn't she...
Feng Sen's smile stopped suddenly. Could she be a genius?Impossible, absolutely impossible, that is clearly a stupid and cute little girl.
In this way, Ador is also 15 years old this year, time flies so fast, just as he was about to put down the letter, suddenly, another small note fell out of the envelope.
Feng Sen picked up the note, and there was clearly a line of crooked scrawled words on it: "I'm very angry too."
Shaking his head, he put the two letters in an envelope and put them aside. Feng Sen walked out of the room, only to see Li Baojing in green looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Ma'am." Feng Sen bowed to her.
"Officer." Li Baojing also returned the salute, then she straightened her waist and teased, "Accordingly, I am a princess and you are a son-in-law, so I don't need to salute you, you should salute me. "
"Oh, it's against you."
"Yeah, you, don't stay here... woo... Boo."
Chapter 3 Eighty Letters Two Years Later
"Dear Feng Sen, lord of Saxony,
May the grace of the Lord be with you and may your life be filled with glory and blessing.
As I write this letter, I am grateful for the opportunity to tell you more about my story and recent developments.
Time flies, two years have passed since your wedding, I had planned to go there at that time, but I was not there at that time, and Iberia was too busy with things, I was often trapped behind enemy lines, and I did not send any letters during this time.
I am deeply sorry for this, because my impulsive duel with my brother Charlie at that time caused me to have to return to Iberia, and so many things have happened in these two years, it is lamentable.
First, let me talk about a happy event between me and my dear Sarah.
By the providence of our heavenly Father, we had a wedding in Barcelona that bonded our hearts.
The wedding was a small one, held only in my palace, and not many people attended, but unexpectedly, the wedding received enthusiastic support from the Saracens in the Iberian Peninsula, as if they agreed our choice.
However, this decision aroused the displeasure of my beloved father, Lord of the Franks, King Charles the Father's Chosen.He had longed for my marriage with the Kingdom of Asturias to strengthen the bond between the nations.
God's will is evident, and I must choose Sarah.
I also have to tell you about the situation in the Iberian Peninsula.
At the critical moment of the death of the Emir Abdullah of Córdoba, I took the opportunity to successfully seize almost half of the territory of the peninsula.
Under the guidance of the Heavenly Father, I was keenly aware of Abdullah's death and the selfishness of their governors. I quickly assembled an army of 6000 people and marched south along Barcelona.
We marched in the starry night, with the transportation of sailboats and the blessing of our heavenly father, we went all the way to Gurtuba, the capital of the Emir of Cordoba.
They never expected that I would appear in this place. With the help of the local Berbers, I successfully captured Gurtuba, and Abdullah's descendants fled in all directions.
After plundering Guertuba, I took advantage of the chaos and left full of treasures. The other governors and Vali who had lost contact with the emir immediately started rebellion and internal fighting.
Under the lure of money and land, as well as the call of the Heavenly Father, a large number of soldiers from the Heavenly Father taught the world came to my territory and joined my army.
The number of my army was as high as 1 at one time. With the help of this crusade, I defeated a large number of independent governors and vali, and seized almost half of the territory of the original Umayyad dynasty.
My current territory has been enlarged by Saxony.
At present, I occupy about two-fifths of the land in Iberia, and with my help, the Kingdom of Asturias also occupies about one-fifth of the land.
In the remaining land, the royal children of the Umayyad dynasty can only linger in the Granada area. Due to my offensive, the nobles and governors in his territory have suspended fighting with each other, but this is only on the surface.
The Emir of Cordoba has been paralyzed, and their governors and Valis are seeking self-interest and fighting endlessly for power.
This made my prestige flourish in the Iberian region. After the war stopped, I set up a large number of knights and knights on the border between the two countries. This is somewhat similar to your Eight Banners, but with fewer people.
But unfortunately, because I disobeyed my father's wishes, he refused to knight me for a long time. I am still the earl of Barcelona.
But fortunately, although I refused the marriage, the King of Asturias still ignored the past and made me Duke of Leon in recognition of my heroic deeds on the battlefield.
This is because Mauregato, king of Asturias, is my good friend. He is the illegitimate son of Alfonso I. In order to ascend the throne, he did not hesitate to expel his sister.
This still couldn't stop the nobles from rebelling. When the nobles rebelled, I extended a helping hand and organized an army to suppress the usurper's rebel army. I also gained Mauregato's friendship through this.
However, although my territory is vast and fertile, I can still only rule a small part of it, and the rest of the land falls into the hands of local nobles, mosques, and churches.
Not content with this, I ordered the churches and mosques everywhere to select talented men and appoint them as bachelors to manage the affairs of the various districts.According to the plan, every five years, they will take turns to hold the position.
It is frustrating that the effect of this reform seems to be unsatisfactory. Local forces still stick to their own power and influence the policies and governance of my bachelors. This makes me ask you for advice on how to deal with it.
How can you use your fingers like you do?
My dear father Charles also implemented a similar bachelor system in the Frankish country.He ordered churches in various places to select wise and talented people, appoint them as inspectors of the kingdom or regional bishops, and give them the responsibility of managing local affairs.
However, this move has drawn opposition from a large number of nobles who fear that their rights will be violated, but I dare say that the Lord will be with my father and guide him to justice and glory.
While I am well aware of this challenge, I firmly believe that the Lord will reveal His blessings as we move forward with righteousness and honesty.
Finally, I would like to talk about one thing, which is also my deepest desire. My beloved father recently returned from the battle line in Avar, and was ready to quell a rebellion.
I have a deep feeling that he may need my help, and I may return from Iberia to offer to help him with this matter.
Although I have not been able to act and marry as Charles wished, I hope this action will be approved by him, so that he can make me King of the Visigoths or King of Iberia.
I and my brothers and soldiers have waited for this throne for a long time, but fate has bestowed on me the title of duke granted by the King of Asturias. This arrangement makes me feel helpless.
To the great disappointment of my soldiers and generals, my two younger brothers have been crowned kings of Aquitaine and Italy, without merit.
I hope this time my action will have a good result.
May the glory of the Lord shine upon us, and may your days of glory and prosperity grow in the North.If you have any suggestions or thoughts on the items I have mentioned or other issues, please do not hesitate to share them with me.I look forward to meeting you soon.
May God bless you.
Hunchback Pepin"
Feng Jingxue flopped on the edge of the table with her little feet, trying to read the letter in her father's hand, but she was too short, and Feng Sen purposely tilted the angle to prevent her from reading it, which made her scream and get out of breath.
"Hahahaha." Feng Sen picked up Feng Jingxue and handed the letter in her hand.
Looking at the bright spring scenery outside the window, Feng Sen couldn't help sighing, even Feng Jingxue, a once-pink little meatball, was three years old.
But compared to Pepin's sudden and thrilling situation on the Iberian Peninsula, what happened in Saxony in the past two years was a bit too peaceful.

ps: Feng Zhen's "Emperor Taizong (Nianghua Version)" (finger part is sick)
Chapter 381 Two Years
At this moment, sitting in a spacious and simple room, Feng Sen was fiddling with various maps and paperwork on the table, recording something from time to time.
Beside him, Gisela holds a Sun Salutation Bible and reads silently while watching the child.
Feng Jingxue was sitting on the ground, and Arvo was sitting opposite her with a big belly. They were holding a puppet in each hand, pretending to be fighting. Feng Jingxue's eyes were bright and agile, and her rosy face was full of smiles.
Feng Sen smiled slightly, stretched out his finger and lightly poked Feng Jingxue's little nose, causing her to laugh even more cheerfully.
However, the laughter gradually dissipated, and Feng Sen frowned tightly again.He looked at the map again intently, analyzing the past two years.
In the two years from 787 to 789, the war in Britain was basically over. Under the mixed army of Danes and Norse, Feng Sen successfully captured Rondinion, which is the later London area.
In May of this year, the West Britain Company established a new city in the London area, namely Luntun City, which includes about 3 square kilometers of land, in addition to a large number of ports and warehouses along the Thames River.
Edbert III successfully captured Canterbury and once again became the king of Kent. For Feng Sen, the war in Britain was over, but for King Offa of Mercia, the war had just begun.
Although Feng Sen has stopped funding the pirates, with a large amount of treasure flowing into the Scandinavian peninsula, the wealth and fertility of Britain have entered the ears of many Norse people.
The recruitment of pirates became easier. Although they temporarily formed a balance of power with King Offa of Mercia in the south of Britain, the Kingdom of Northbria in the north suffered a catastrophic loss when the Vikings attacked.
Under Feng Sen's lure, the Viking invasion that would have erupted 100 years later broke out ahead of schedule.
Although 100 years of fermentation is missing, the number of people is not as large as that of the latter, but the shipyard that cannot stand Hamburg can build a large number of ships, and the number of pirates from Scandinavia has also increased.
And now not only the Norse pirates, but also the Slavic pirates along the Baltic Sea, more people invaded.
In this wave of Viking invasion, the West Britannia Company gradually developed into an untouchable existence.
Under the leadership of Li Baojing, the income of the West Britain Company has been rising steadily, and the number of various mercenaries and rebels at their peak is close to 1.
With the prosperity of North Sea trade, a large number of trading posts were established on the Scandinavian Peninsula. In addition to transshipment and procurement of goods, they also played the role of conscription points.
A large number of Norse people came to Saxony by boat or served as consulates, or borrowed money to buy ships as pirates. Many Norse lords were dissatisfied with this, but eventually succumbed to the trade embargo and coastal plunder of the West Britain Company.
Since the headquarters of the West Britain Company is in Hamburg, the Vikings also sell their stolen goods in Hamburg, and even the docks for buying ships are in Hamburg. In addition, Hamburg is rich in various entertainment industries, and Hamburg has almost become their consumption center. People in Beijing simply bought a house in Hamburg to live in.
In addition, Feng Sen has eaten away the entire Villetti little by little in the past two years. Today, Villetti has completely transformed into eight banners, becoming the second largest banner under Feng Sen's rule.
Many Veleti migrated to Saxon lands, even Pomeranians and further away the Sami and Karelian peoples near the Arctic.
After destroying Villetti, Feng Sen launched another attack on the Sorbs before Charlie could react. Under the leadership of the Jews, this time the attack went extremely smoothly. In less than half a year, most of the Sorbs were expelled to the land of Moravia.
The remaining Sorbs basically accepted the eight banners. According to the agreement, in June this year, Han Shizhong led a team of 8000 people to march towards the Bohemians.
Under the influence of these events, the population of Saxony began to swell, and now it has risen to more than 60. Apart from the Saxons, the Norse are the most numerous, and the population of the Franks is even less than half of the Norse.
As for the population of the Han people, because the Jews helped Feng Sen build ten commercial warehouses directly connected to the Silk Road, Feng Sen received more favor from the emperor. After several exchanges and achievements, as well as natural reputation, the Han people ushered in A baby boom, the total number reached 5000 people.
With the increase of population, Saxony's field area and the number of Eight Banners are also expanding.
Judging from recent statistics, Saxony has six banners including the North Banner, the Slavic Banner, the Villetti Banner, the Saxon Banner, the Frankish Banner, and the Sorbian Banner, with a total of [-] hundred households and [-] thousand households.
