Previous part:

Feng Ming laughs so much that he burst into tears, rubbing his eyes and stomach with both hands, Rong Tian sees him laughing so hard, for fear that he can’t stand still and fall, he quickly hugs him from behind.

The matter of the happy married couple festival is settled like this.

_______________

The Xiao family works very efficiently, and Luo Deng has quickly prepared the money, not only everyone inside, but the people stationed outside, whether they are elites from Xirei or the Xiao family masters, as well as the maids, everyone has a share.

Of course, Prince He Di is exempted from it. Anyway, Dan Lin royal family is rich and famous all over the world, so they don’t care about this little money.

What deserve praising is that even at this time, Shang Zai Si still maintains his considerate thoughts, and suggests: “We are guests, and we occupy the garrison residence for a while, it seems not good to leave the host of the house aside for such a lively thing.”

Feng Ming gladly accepts, “That’s right, we can’t go shopping by our own. Manager Luo, please take care of the people in the garrison residence, the maids and servants, and others.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

As soon as the news came out, the whole residence celebrated.

When everyone who should have received the silver already received the silver, there is laughter inside and outside the garrison residence, sure enough there is a festive atmosphere.

Of course, when the atmosphere is very good, it’s also the time for Luo Deng to give away all his money.

Fortunately, these money are prepared for travelling, but Xiao family has warehouses all over the places, and they store a lot of gold, silver and treasures.

Feng Ming has been impatient for a long time, seeing that Luo Deng is done, he immediately waves his arms, “Okay! We have money in our pockets, brothers, let’s go shopping for the gifts!”

The crowd respond in unison.

Feng Ming saying again: “Buying gifts is a private matter, don’t crowd in together and spread out.”

After speaking, he takes the lead, pulling Rong Tian away with him.

The others are all in twos and threes, calling friends about to set off, only Rong Hu and Luo Yun are silent and keeping up with Rong Tian and Feng Ming.

As soon as he went out, he saw Zhao Meng An on a horse galloping over from the city gate, he probably heard the rumblings in the garrison residence from a distance, and hurried over to check the movement, when he saw Feng Ming going out, he couldn’t help but startled, he got off his horse and asked, “Where is Duke Ming going with The King of Xirei?”

“Buying gifts.”

Feng Ming talks about the happy couple’s festival, Zhao Meng An’s face looks surprise, “So it’s that is, it’s really an unheard of festival.” Looking back at the city gate at the back, he hurriedly says, “I will report the matter to the Lord Garrison. Duke Ming, please enjoy shopping.”

After saying goodbye to Feng Ming and Rong Tian, ​​he gets on his horse and hurries back to the city gate.

Kong Ye Xin is standing on the city gate, looking anxiously at the Garrison residence on the other side, he turns his head away, seeing that Zhao Meng An, who has gone to investigate, has returned, and hurriedly asks him: “Ri…. ri….. ri…”

“It’s not a riot.”

“Break, break, break, break…”

“Nor breaking the law and committing crimes”

“Why, why, why…”

“Why is it so noisy over there? Oh, The King of Xirei suddenly had a whim and set up a festival. It can be said very interesting, it’s called the happy couple festival.”

Zhao Meng An and Kong Ye Xin are two opposite sides.

Kong Ye Xin can’t articulate, but Zhao Meng An is the most articulate, after a while, he clearly repeats what he has just heard in one breath.

When Kong Ye Xin hears this, he is also greatly surprised, his eyes widen.

In his mind, the words a lion with a big mouth opened on Duke Ming’s forehead, might have to be changed again.

Is “Idiot”, okay? Or “Prodigal”?

However, as the parental officials of the common people in a city, Lord Garrison suddenly thinks of another more important issue, his face changes suddenly, and he squeezes the air in his teeth and tries to speak hardly: “Silver…silver… silver…”

(父母官 Parental Official: In feudal society, parents are the masters of their children, and at the same time parents love their children the most, so parental officials have both the characteristics of leadership and love.)

“Yes, my Lord. The Young Master of the Xiao family gave out a lot of money, saying that it was for his subordinates to buy gifts. He was also very polite, not only did he gave a large sum of money to his subordinates, but also didn’t leave behind the people who served in the Garrison residence.”

Kong Ye Xin’s eyes are lit, and for the first time since the appearance of the Duke Ming, his eyes shine with excitement and happiness, waving his hand and saying continuously, “Open, open, open…”

“Tell the people to open their shops to earn money?”

Kong Ye Xin nods desperately, opens his mouth and says, “Pen, pen, pen, pen…”

Zhao Meng An hurriedly calls someone to send the brush and ink.

Kong Ye Xin holds a brush in his hand, and his aura changes drastically, his whole body is in high spirits, holding the brush fully dipped in ink, brushes with ease, the brush walking like dragon, and in the blink of an eye, it becomes a hearty general garrison’s order.

Zhao Meng An watches from the side and yells: “Good! In this way, the annual tax, which is forced to be paid within a time limit, doesn’t have to be forced on the commoners. God bless us, Duke Ming’s visit this time will finally bring something good. This subordinate will send soldier to beat the gongs everywhere to announce.”

Picking up the general garrison’s charmingly written order, which is very charming in brush and ink, he walks under the city gate tower with steady steps.

At this moment, the whole Jiayang city is filled with touching enthusiast atmosphere.

Of course, in a small city, suddenly a large number of guests with money in their pockets pouring out, what can’t be sold?

The only market in the city, from the street to the end of the street, every stall is crowded with people, either from Xirei’s faction or from the Xiao family faction, occasionally, bowing their heads down to pick up goods, and even more interesting when they bump into an acquaintance.

This is Feng Ming’s first time to enjoy this kind of time with Rong Tian, ​​pulling Rong Tian to look at this shop and that shop with great interest, even Rong Hu will ask the price of something from time to time.

Actually, a group of big men rarely go out for shopping, and they find it fun to try it once in a while.

In the bustling hustle and bustle, suddenly heard a woman laughing, Feng Ming looks up, “Haha! Even Qiu Lan and the others are going out, I wonder if Qiu Xing has been brought out by them, haha, she maybe the first bride to go shopping on her wedding day.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved straight at them.

Qiu Lan and the others are greatly surprised when they see Feng Ming, floating over like a group of clouds, and Qiu Xing is actually with them.

Feng Ming looks at her with a smile, “You go out too.”

Qiu Xing was actually pulled out by Qiu Lan, she was going to get married today, and she was extremely shy, as soon as Feng Ming talked to her, she blushed to her neck, she bows her head and whispers, “I heard that The Great King has issued a decree, setting up today as the happy couple festival, and we have to prepare gifts, this servant is also from Xirei, so of course she must obey the King’s edict.”

Feng Ming exaggeratedly saying: “You obey the King’s edict, um, very good, very good.”

Qiu Lan says naively: “But Duke Ming, Jiayang city is too small, so many people buying gifts, there are so many people who buy gifts that there are not enough things to buy, so I can’t pick anything…”

Feng Ming is aware of this long ago, he smiles bitterly: “It’s the first time to celebrate the happy couple festival, so everyone is not prepared. But there will be a lot of good rouge gouache for sale during the festival next year, don’t know about others, but manager Luo will definitely seize the opportunity to prepare. Hehe, let’s make do with it this year.”

When the voice fell, and suddenly several Bo Jian soldiers came over, holding a gong in their hands, banging hard while shouting at the top of their voices, “Lord General Garrison has an order! Happy couple as if made by heaven, Jiayang celebrating together, giving gifts for relatives, and sharing kindness and righteousness, the people in the city, whether farmers, merchants, and embroidery products from each houses are all available for sale.”

He shouts many times along the way.

Soon, there are cheers and many wooden doors which are originally closed suddenly opened, and many old women and girls coming out with wooden stools, tables and chairs, placed on their doorways, they’re holding out many exquisite embroidered handkerchiefs, shoes, cloth covers, quilts, and so on, spreading out one by one.

All kinds of flowers and birds above are lifelike and bright, very eye-catching and many of them are also decorated with thin and extremely delicate small bright spots, if one take a closer look, it turns out that they are glowing shells picked up by the seaside, polished, and carved into various shapes of small sequins.

Girls can’t see this kind of thing the most.

Qiu Lan and the others look at it and scream “Ah”, not even caring about Feng Ming, they all rush up, picking this and that, chatting non-stop.

Feng Ming stretches his neck to look around and finds that there are more and more people in the market, most of the new addition people are old commoners from Jia Yang, after listening to the general garrison’s order, they all happily bring things to set up the stall.

Why don’t they sell it since the beginning?

While Feng Ming wondering, Rong Tian had picked out an item, paid for it, hid it in his arms, walked over and said, “I bought it.”

Feng Ming is startled, “What? Have you bought? What have you bought, show it to me quickly.” He holds Rong Tian’s hand to look at it.

Rong Tian smiles mysteriously, “Don’t we have to wrap it up and open it when the time comes? I’ll show you tonight.”

Feng Ming’s curiosity is immediately aroused, and baiting in every possible way, but Rong Tian not responding, he just keeps teasing him.

Feng Ming can’t do anything about it, remembering that he hasn’t bought the gift yet, he quickly pulls Rong Tian to continue shopping, after seeing the gift, he tells Rong Tian to turn around, buys it secretly, and hides it in his arms.

The two of them play for a while, seeing that the time is almost up, they go back to the garrison residence together, very sweetly.

Arriving in front of the gate of the garrison residence, Feng Ming looks up and let out a cry of surprise.

It turns out that the garrison residence has been redecorated during the time they go out. There are colorful silks hanging above, and a lot of red lanterns that they don’t know where are those coming from, and each door has the word ‘Happiness’ past on it, which is a lively scene of the newlyweds.

“Young master is back?”

Feng Ming looks up for a long time, only to find that the voice come from Cui Yang on the upper left.

Cui Yang just ties the ribbon firmly on it, somersault vigorously and falls on the ground, stands up and points around while saying, “How is it? Doesn’t it look a bit festive?”

Feng Ming says in surprise, “Didn’t you go out to buy gifts?”

“I bought it long ago. Our shopping is simple, unlike girls who are picky, we buy them in a short time. This subordinate is in charge of arranging the outside, and manager Luo is in charge of the overall situation, he is instructing people to work everywhere. Ah right, report to the young master, there’s an internal news…”

Cui Yang lowers his voice, “Qu Mai took out all the money on his body and bought a jar of old wine from an old man in the east of the city. He’s going to give it to Ran Qing, haha, he will make him drunk to death.”

These masters of the Xiao family are completely different from the strangers-like cold appearance that exudes an impenetrable breath all over their body when they first saw Feng Ming that day.

It can be seen that the ruthlessness of most people is not born, but is acquired by oppresed

Father Xiao Zong, you really don’t understand the true nature of people and the joy of life.

I hope mother can teach you this important lesson in life.

Ah right, I don’t know where my father and mother have been away recently, I must remember to send someone to ask around tomorrow.

Feng Ming silently reminds himself to remember this matter, and then he gathers up his energy and walks into the garrison residence, while looking around with relish, he asks curiously, “Where did you find these colorful silks and red lanterns in such a short period of time?”

Cui Yang replies: “The colorful silks are bought by manager Luo from the commoners in the city with the last bit of gold, the red lanterns are free, there is a small warehouse behind the garrison residence, and there are a pile of things that have not been used for many years, don’t know which of the Lord Garrison left it when he held a wedding. The people in the residence received the money shared by manager Luo, and they had a very good impression of manager Luo, as soon as they heard Manager Luo ask where there were red lanterns, they immediately dug them all out of the dust pile. What’s even funnier was that the two housekeepers of the garrison residence also took out their belongings when they got married and lent them for Imperial bodyguard Shang and Qiu Xing’s bridal chamber temporarily, and they also helped us decorate the bridal chamber.”

Feng Ming says, “It’s really strange, I thought Jiayang was just a small place, I didn’t expect that there were so many good embroidery and colorful silks hidden in the commoners’ houses, those embroidery items were all excellent in craftsmanship.”

Cui Yang doesn’t pay much attention to this, he shrugs and says, “When you see Lord Garrison, just ask him.”

Speaking of the Lord Garrison, Feng Ming remembers the General Garrison’s order he heard today, and couldn’t help but think of something else, he turns to Rong Tian and says, “Anyway, I’m going to find a talented and eloquent person to help me write an essay.”

Rong Tian asks with a smile, “Suddenly you want to write an essay? Are you planning to study hard?”

Feng Ming shakes his head, “Hong Yu is gone, I’m not good at writing, I want to ask someone to help him write a sacrificial essay, pick a day, light incense under the moon, prepare a glass of wine, and offer him a sacrificial.” A look of sadness crosses his face.

The smile on Rong Tian’s face suddenly fades, and he whispers soothingly: “If you have this intention, Hong Yu’s spirit in heaven will know it. If you feel sad for him, he will be worry instead. Don’t think about it too much, today is a great day for Qiu Xing, if she sees your sad face, she will definitely be worried about you.”

Feng Ming nods.
