On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the twenty-sixth year of the Ming Dynasty Yongli, people eat glutinous rice balls, which is a good time for marriage and relocation.
With the sound of crackling firecrackers, people surged near the Shizi Mansion in Jieyang County. Everyone crowded at the gate and looked at the new wife with joy. The person who wants to marry a wife today is not an ordinary person, but the "One-Word King" in Jieyang County. Although he is nominally the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, his actual power is even greater than that of his father, Zhu Ding, who oversees the country. Heji!
Jieyang City was forcibly taken over by Liu Jinzhong and Fengmingshan, who were led by three to four thousand soldiers, led by this man who was said to be the grandson of Emperor Chongzhen.
Most of the people in Jieyang County have personally experienced this battle to seize the city with one enemy against dozens of people. Some of them even witnessed with their own eyes the scene when Zhu Heji led the "Eight Banners Soldiers" into the county seat to go to the county government office to capture a few dog officials!
So now they all somewhat believe that Zhu Heji really has the slightest chance of succeeding in the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, they also felt sorry for the Ming Dynasty. If Emperor Chongzhen had been as fierce as his grandson, maybe the Ming Dynasty would have been able to survive until now... In this way, the people here in Chaozhou would not have to suffer so much and die so much.
During the one or two months when Prince Zhu San and Tai Sun Zhu San ruled Jieyang County, the people in and around Jieyang County also felt a little bit of the positive "new dynasty atmosphere".
First of all, the officials and officials look very retro, hard-working and simple. They don't wear gorgeous official uniforms, they all wear cloth clothes, kerchiefs, linen scarves, and long swords... They look almost like Confucius, whom scholars want to worship.
Secondly, these hard-working and simple officials gathered on the campus every morning to recite "The Journey of the Great Road, the World is Public" in unison. After reciting, they had to go out to enforce the law and handle errands with a heart for the people and the public. ..... The spies of Fusi in Jinyiweinan Town are keeping an eye on these people all the time!
Anyone who wants to take bribes will definitely be caught on the spot and taken to the campus to be beaten. If they take too much bribes, they will be beheaded!
The third change that deeply affects the people of Jieyang County is the change in the social atmosphere in Jieyang County!
The Qinlou Chu Pavilion and gambling stalls in the county all disappeared before the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-fifth year of Yongli.
Of course, now there are no underworld brothers in Jieyang County who engage in gambling and prostitution to collect protection fees, and there are no gangs of robbers who dare to block roads and rob outside Jieyang County. Even the water bandits on the Nanbei River outside Jieyang County have disappeared.
It can be said that the current Jieyang County is at least the county with the best social atmosphere and the best public security in Guangdong.
The fourth thing that made the people of Jieyang deeply realize the superiority of the law of "the world is for the public" is the "boy education law" that will be gradually implemented from the twelfth lunar month of the 25th year of Yongli - all those who are on the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Supervisory Government All boys and girls must receive at least four years of elementary education! Moreover, it is run by the public for free or with public assistance.
Through the above methods, Zhu Heji took less than two months to firmly control the 30,000 people on "Jieyang Island", and also had a standing army of more than 1,000 people.
Moreover, with the support of Da Lao Hui, the Zhu family and his son completed the renovation and defense of Jieyang County.
Such a hero suddenly created a new dynasty atmosphere in the small town of Jieyang County, and it took a while to watch the hero get married. Of course, it attracted many Jieyang County residents who were still on "annual vacation". There is not much fun in this small county town. It is Chinese New Year and most businesses are closed.
So many people brought their children to the campus to watch the excitement.
The children were jumping around in the rain of crackling firecrackers, laughing loudly. The imperial guards who stayed in the county for the New Year all put on bright red robes and maintained order there happily.
Although Zhu Heji's wedding was a little rushed this time, the scene was not bad at all. The colorful painted archway was erected from the private residence of the former Qing army Jieyang Xietai, where the brides temporarily lived, to the gate of the Prince's Mansion. The outside of the Prince's Mansion was even more extravagant. There were many baskets filled with sugar, red dates and peanuts placed on both sides of the door, and a new red felt blanket was spread on the ground. The musicians invited from Dahao were playing and playing, and the concierge was also neatly dressed, and everyone was working very hard.
The stage has also been set up, and the Teochew opera troupe invited from Dahao has already performed on stage outside the gates of Shizi Mansion and Jianguo Mansion! It doesn’t matter whether they sing well or not, the enthusiasm is always there.
The banquet has been set up in the Prince's Mansion, from the gate to the second hall. As usual, it's still a running water table, and all the officials, gentry, and people on "Jieyang Island" are here as guests!
Zhu Heji himself now put on the red groom's official clothes, and led Su Zhanshan, Zhao Hongkui, Gu Yebai, the young father-in-law, Hu Qiu and others, walking back and forth from the lobby to the second hall, drinking wine table after table. ——Those who can serve tables in the lobby and the second hall are all decent people, otherwise they can only eat and drink in the thatched shed outside the Yimen.
Zhu Heji, of course, had to follow the etiquette for these somewhat respectable people, so he asked Su Zhanshan and Zhao Hongkui to bring low-alcohol rum mixed with water and toast and clink glasses table by table.
Although he drank fake wine mixed with water, Zhu Heji was still extremely excited. Because his new wife today is not one, but a pair of sisters!
And they are also a very magical pair of sisters! Da Bo Ling, the well-known big-bellied sister-in-law in the Chaozhou arena, somehow became the goddaughter of the boss Hui Qiu Hui and the god-sister of Miss Qiu Si. Today, she and her sister are going to marry the eldest son of His Highness Prince Ding of the Ming Dynasty. God...this is really a "good story"!
Da Bo Ling and Qiu Shuzhen were two generations apart at noon on New Year's Eve. Da Bo Ling and Da Lao Hui were from the same generation. By the time they had dinner, they were sisters. A few days later, they were again We have to serve one husband together.
This is really... too feudal!
Now the "two sisters" lifted their headscarves and were staring at each other while sitting at the table with some food and wine.
The little beauty Qiu Shuzhen seemed a little unhappy, with her little mouth pouted and a look of reluctance - who is Da Bo Ling? Why should she marry Brother Pao with her? And she is still the "sister", the eldest wife is the sister! Who is Ming Media marrying?
Da Bo Ling had a look of helplessness on her face, while Qiu Shuzhen and Zhu Heji had long faces after they were helped in after praying to heaven and earth. She had tried her best to coax her just now, and she had said so many soft words, but this little girl still looked like she couldn't coax him well.
what should I do? Will you be able to coax her when Pao Zi comes? If the coaxing fails, how will the three of them live together in the future?
As Pao Zai said before, the three of us must love each other!
When she was thinking of this, she suddenly heard Xipo who was guarding outside shouting: "The bridegroom, the crown prince, has arrived!"
When she heard that the Crown Prince had arrived, Da Bo Ling quickly said to Qiu Shuzhen: "Sister Shuzhen, please quickly put on the red hijab!"
As she spoke, she picked up her red hijab and covered her head and face, covering the whole thing.
But the little beauty snorted, raised her fist and waved, rolled her eyes, then put the hijab on her head and waited quietly for Zhu Heji's arrival.
Without letting him wait too long, Zhu Heji came in a big way, smiling as he walked, so happy! Married again...I got married once in my previous life, and now again, and there are two brides!
This feudal society is so evil! Zhu Heji thought to himself: "But why am I so happy? Is this the happiness of being a bad guy?"
"Wow haha..." Zhu Heji laughed, "Ladies, you are here for your husband!"
