It was the Spring Festival and it was the wedding of King Xia. In addition, the Qing army's harassment was successfully repelled. The people were in a peaceful mood and the whole Jinan was more lively than before.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a paradise on earth.
"In the past, when we got married, we were busy up and down, inside and outside, without a moment of leisure. I don't know what's going on today, I don't know what to do."
Huang's nagging made everyone laugh.
What she feels is what everyone feels.
It stands to reason that the wedding of Zuo Mengeng and Wang Siyi will be extremely grand and gorgeous, and there will be a huge amount of things that need to be arranged.
But what everyone feels now is that it seems very dull, no different from everyday life.
"Who says it's not? Marriage is a major event in life, how can it be careless? I am just a girl, so I should be grand and grand. Who would have thought? When I said it, the girl refused to agree. Alas!"
Wang Siyi is about to get married, and of course Wang Shizhong cannot stay out of the matter.
This old gentleman was even more kind-hearted, and even boasted that he would spend one million taels of silver to arrange the wedding.
As soon as Wang Siyi heard this, she called him back on the spot.
Even though Wang Shizhong was his father, he couldn't be strong in front of Wang Siyi and could only feel aggrieved.
When the in-laws met today, hearing Huang's nagging helped him find his backbone.
Wang Siyi's wedding was not grand enough, because Wang Shizhong was shameless.
This embarrassing thing made him unable to hold his head up.
"I am a soldier and a princess, so of course I must lead by example and be respectful. How can I ruin the morale of the entire army because of my actions?"
Wang Siyi sat beside him and expressed his thoughts.
The couple had already discussed how to hold the wedding.
We must not be extravagant and extravagant, otherwise, if things go on like this, it will lead to the spread of extravagance, which will more easily corrode the spirit of the army.
Only Xu Ruolin was a little worried.
"I'm afraid that if the wedding is a shabby one, people who gossip outside will think that I'm treating you harshly."
Xu Ruolin walked in first, and in the eyes of the outside world she was a big lady.
Moreover, the wedding between her and Zuo Mengeng was widely spread and known to the whole world, which had a great impact.
If Wang Siyi's wedding was even half as bad as it is now, it would easily be gossiped about by everyone in the world.
However, Wang Siyi was calm and calm, and she was even in the mood to tease Zuo Xuanyan.
She picked up the candy beside her and stuffed it into Zuo Xuanyan's mouth.
"The wedding didn't cost much, but it was by no means shabby. When it comes to beauty, my sister may not be as good as me."
When she said this, Xu Ruolin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Xu Ruolin was the person who took the most care of the wedding of Zuo Mengeng and Wang Siyi, so of course she understood all the details.
Zuo Mengeng made it very clear when planning.
A military wedding has military regulations, so it may not be any weaker than the previous one.
Now that she saw Wang Siyi accepting it calmly, she no longer worried.
Looking back, I saw Zuo Xuanyan chewing sweets in her mouth, and she immediately became angry.
"Oh, damn girl, don't give the child so much candy, her teeth haven't grown in yet."
The mother who protects the calf is the tiger.
Xu Ruolin hugged Zuo Xuanyan and began to pick out the candy in the child's mouth.
If a child eats something sweet, how can he let it go? He immediately struggled and cried loudly.
"Er Niang, help... help! Mom... Mom, she doesn't love me anymore."
Xu Ruolin became even more angry.
"You little bastard, it's in vain that your mother almost lost half her life for you."
Wang Siyi clapped her hands and laughed.
"My daughter is better off with me. You are jealous."
Xu Ruolin was furious.
"If you like the child, just give birth to it yourself. What's the point of robbing me?"
Wang Shizhong and Mr. Huang sat aside, seeing the two women getting along harmoniously, and they were all in a good mood.
Such a family really has a lot less worries.
"Instructor, how are you? Is there anything wrong?"
Amakusa Tokisada carefully arranged the military uniform on her body, cherishing it very much.
His current appearance is guaranteed to be unrecognizable to his Japanese companions.
His hair has been shaved off, and he no longer has the pot-top hair he once had, but has a shiny forehead.
The Japanese warrior uniform on his body has long disappeared. On the contrary, the decent Xia Army uniform makes him even more heroic.
After the Spring Festival, Amakusa Tokisada will go to the military academy to study.
The power of Xia Jun has long made him yearn for it. He is extremely eager to go inside and learn more knowledge, and then lead the Shimabara Rebel Army to become stronger.
He had already felt it.
Although the foreign daimyo on Kyushu Island are now on good terms with the Shimabara rebels, they will definitely fall out sooner or later.
The specific reason, in Yuan Shengsheng's words, is that the Shimabara Rebel Army was formed entirely by civilians and should naturally protect the interests of civilians.
But those daimyo were feudal lords, and they naturally relied on exploiting the common people as their basis for survival.
The contradiction between the two parties is irreconcilable.
Now that the Xia Kingdom is guarding it and there is a life-or-death enemy like the Tokugawa Shogunate, both sides are in peace.
But sooner or later, conflicts will break out, and there may be a bloody battle.
Amakusa Tokisada can only learn more skills as soon as possible and strengthen herself to cope with future crises.
But at the moment, he and Yuan Shengsheng had to accept Zuo Xianmei's orders and were as busy as dogs.
"Oh, look carefully, it's all crooked."
"Really, this big man is so clumsy that he can't even put up Spring Festival couplets."
Amidst Zuo Xianmei's chirping complaints, the two men who were stirring up trouble in Japan were sweating profusely, and at the same time they were very curious about the work they were doing.
"Sister, it's so interesting. It looks really festive."
Amakusa Tokisada is quite gifted in languages, and within a short period of time she was able to communicate with everyone in Chinese.
Zuo Xianmei picked up the handkerchief and helped him wipe away his sweat.
"The Spring Festival is the biggest festival for us Han people. As the saying goes, the plan for a year lies in spring. Only by celebrating the Spring Festival well can we live a good year. The same goes for you. I wish you all the best in the new year."
Amakusa Shizhi's heart felt warm.
He lost his parents when he was a child and was brought up by a group of warriors. Although I have learned a lot of skills, I rarely feel the warmth of family.
After arriving at Prince Xia's Mansion, everyone in the mansion was very kind to him, allowing him to finally regain some of the nature that a young man should have.
Zuo Xianmei's face as bright as the bright moon and her warm voice made him unable to extricate himself.
There is another big event approaching the Spring Festival, which requires many big shots to go out together.
Just on the north side of Daming Lake, a tall, majestic and extraordinary church was officially completed.
This was funded and built by the Xia government as a gift to all Catholics.
When Deng Yuhan and others came to Shandong, they had already built a church. It's just that the conditions at that time were simple and the church was not perfect.
Later, the Xia Kingdom grew stronger and richer, and with the arrival of Galileo and his daughter, the construction of a symbolic church was put on the agenda.
Today, the church is finally completed.
Zuo Menggeng accompanied Xu Ruolin, Wang Siyi, and even Huang to attend the inauguration ceremony of the church.
The Catholics in Shandong were all happy and gathered together.
Even Amakusa Tokisada, a Japanese Catholic, integrated into it with piety.
