The wedding date is set on the second day of March, and the time is actually very relaxed.
However, although the time was loose, the preparation was not sloppy, and Pei Yuanxiu directly set the inner courtyard where I live as a new house, and naturally, we will have a new layout for our future residence. The people in the house were also beaming, climbing up and down all day, cleaning the house, repairing the roof, changing lanterns and lacquering the roof, so busy.
After moving out of the inner courtyard, I temporarily lived in the room where I lived. Because of these recent preparations, I didn't want to get too much out of contact with her, and the girl did grow up, so I couldn't always follow me. After sleep, my parents and Pei Yuanxiu became even more embarrassed, so Pei Yuanxiu let her live in the old room, and let Su Su also live in her outer room to take care of her.
This morning, as soon as I left the door, I saw a dozen servants carrying a large group of red silks in their arms.
I asked, "What is this?"
When the servants saw me, they hurriedly stopped to salute me, and said, "Mrs. Infant, this is what the son asked us to find out."
"So much satin, what are you doing? Make clothes?"
The servant hadn't answered yet, and heard Pei Yuanxiu's smiling voice ringing beside him, "Our wedding dress, we can't do this sloppy."
Turning his head, he came back with his hands on his back and smiled. The servants hurried to salute him. He waved his hands and let those people go down and continue to do things. He smiled and walked in front of me: "Do you sleep well?"
"Ok."
"Good spirit."
"Do you also say that people are refreshed at every happy event."
Hearing me say that, the smile on his face deepened, I asked again: "Yes, what do you ask them to take out so much satin?"
He said mysteriously, "You will know by then."
"What's so mysterious."
I glanced at him, and then saw him smile again: "But we must be ready to serve."
"Let them prepare."
"Well, I think we should do it ourselves."
"You?"
I froze for a moment, then saw him with a smile and said, "The silk satin villages here have all sent materials and designs. I have seen them, but they are not very good. In fact, it is better to say that satin and embroidery are Yangzhou."
I moved in my heart and looked at him.
Pei Yuanxiu looked at me with a smile: "Otherwise, would you go shopping today?"
For a moment, I could n’t get back to God. After a while, I realized it: "You want me to go to Yangzhou?"
"Ok."
"but……"
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that Yangzhou and here are already navigable."
"..."
I froze for a moment, and still couldn't believe my ears: "Really ?!"
After our wedding period was settled, I also mentioned this to him once, but he did not express his position at that time, and I also knew that North-South navigation was not a simple matter, and I could not rush, so I didn't ask him to do anything. . Unexpectedly, one month later, he was really relieved.
Pei Yuanxiu laughed: "I told you, naturally it is true. However, shipping is not completely resumed. Small fishing and merchant ships are allowed to cross the river. Ships with more than 30 people must dock and must pass inspection before they can pass."
I immediately smiled in surprise: "This is already good!"
In fact, as long as he is willing to allow the boat to cross the river and no longer block the sea, it is already a good thing for the benefit of the people.
I also hope that there will be no more tragedies when the family leaves.
Thinking of this, my eyes couldn't help getting wet.
He looked at him and thought I was too happy. He came forward with a smile and held my face: "Look at you happy."
I smiled and lowered my head.
He touched my cheek with his fingertips and said softly, "I have other things to arrange today, otherwise we should go together."
"Oh." He didn't go.
"Actually, I don't really want you to cross the river, but I hope that our wedding is the best in the world, and the service is naturally the best."
I was silent for a moment and nodded gently: "I understand."
I certainly understand that he hopes the best-neither he nor I, is the first time to get married, they both have a past, neither of them is a blank piece of paper, so what he said is "best" for us, both There is a special meaning.
He looked down at me and said: "The girl you brought, Susu, let her go with you. I will send someone to follow you, but you can rest assured that it will not be a brigade."
I smiled softly, nodded for his consideration, "Hmm."
.
When I reached the river, I saw Pei Yuanxiu's prepared boat, not too big, but I was just able to sit down with Susu and the guards, and of course there were Gu Ping in the guards.
This child-he can no longer be called a child now, he naturally knows that my wedding date is approaching. When he meets, he also gives me Daoxi, which makes me a little embarrassed.
The weather was fine, the sun shone on the river, and it shone.
When the ship was docked, we could already see the crowds on the big pier over there. It seemed that the news of navigation on the river had spread. Far from hearing the crowds over there, even some people were crying with joy. , I saw Gu Ping's gloomy eyes.
I know, he remembered the tragedy in his house again.
I gently reached over and patted his shoulder, and said softly, "Pinger, stop thinking."
He looked up at me, half a moment, and sniffed. "I know."
I still supported his shoulders. At this time, the hull shook, and I realized that the ship had landed. Gu Ping also seemed to pull out from the memories of the past, and barely made a smile to me: "Aunt Qing, I'm really fine. Let's disembark. "
"Ok."
I nodded, and let him stand up, Susu also hurried over to hug me, the group got off the boat, and went ashore along the trestle.
Yangzhou at this time is very different from the past.
The last time I came, although the market was also lively, there was always a sense of depression from the wind and rain, and this time it was different. There was no haze on the faces of pedestrians, and shops on both sides of the street were almost opened. The crowds of people on the street and the crowd of traffic almost made me see the magnificent scene when I first set off in Yangzhou.
As soon as we arrived at the market, all the other guards except Susu Heping spread out. They could hardly see them, but I knew that they must be protecting me nearby.
In fact, I think Pei Yuanxiu knows that he doesn't have to worry about it so much.
Although my identity is special to Yangzhou now, given the previous agreement between the North and the South, it is impossible for people in the Yangzhou government to move me at this time no matter what the purpose is. After all, moving me is equivalent to declaring war on Pei Yuanxiu. However, according to the current situation, no war is immediately available to both sides.
War is fought by people, but not by people.
Moreover--
I thought of the familiar, but unfamiliar face, and I couldn't help thinking.
I was in a hurry in Wangjiang Pavilion that day, and I had no chance to see him again. Although I knew he had forgotten the past, what happened to him and what happened now is unknown to me. When I was on the South Bank, I desperately told myself not to think about him, but now that I have arrived at the place that belongs to him, memories about him keep coming out of my mind.
With him in Yangzhou, I believe that I will be safe no matter what.
As I was thinking, I heard Gu Pingdao: "Aunt Qing, here it is."
When I looked back, when I looked up, I saw that we stopped at the door of a silk shop.
The name of this silk satin village is Baoyi, which is the largest in Yangzhou City. I heard Gu Ping said that they still have some treasures left by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau that year, and they are very famous in Yangzhou City. Tributes, I saw it today. The inside of the shop was like a cloud. Each of the satin on the shelf was bright in color and delicate like jade. It was indeed a good product that Jinling did not have.
Su Su helped me walk in, and when she looked at the contents, she also said, "Miss, the things here are good."
I nodded.
At this time, a person who looked like a shopkeeper came over, looked me up and down, and immediately smiled and arched his hand: "This lady, I don't know what to choose, can you let me introduce it to my wife?"
I smiled and said, "A wedding dresser."
"Oh, wedding dress."
The shopkeeper hurriedly raised his hand: "Please come and see."
I followed him into the side-by-side room, and sure enough, there was a bright red, bright red satin. It seems that almost all the fabrics for wedding dresses are available here. The dragons and phoenixes are blooming richly and richly, and everything is so happy, and it is clear that the people are picking and picking, but I'm picky.
In the end, things were a little fuzzy.
On the contrary, she was always picking. She was a girl of her age when she loved to buy things, and she picked up a wedding dress for me, and spared no effort. In the end, even the boss was tired and stayed with me. Sit aside and drink tea and let her pick it.
I looked inside and out of this satin village, and smiled and said to the shopkeeper: "The shopkeeper, the business is good."
"Where, TOEFL TOEFL."
"I came here a year ago and haven't seen you here."
He gave a haha and laughed, "Yeah, I had planned to leave Yangzhou years ago."
"Oh? Why? Such a big business."
"Yes, without telling you, this business really can't be lost, but it has been rumored to fight a year ago. You also know that when we fight, we are the ones who suffer. If we don't leave, what can we do?"
I nodded. "Well."
"But it's fine now."
"Oh?"
"As soon as the Lord Fu Yin came, the situation was settled, and the Lord also issued a notice, exempting half of our business tax donations!"
I moved my hand holding the tea cup.
For a long while, I looked up and smiled. "This is great."
"Yeah, yeah." The shopkeeper nodded straightly: "In recent years, Yangzhou has not been so good. The previous Fu Yin, one by one, have been greedy and corrupt, and have oppressed us as merchants. They do not open the door to do business. Fortunately, as soon as the door is opened, how many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are paid, and the taxes that I make every day are not enough to pay. Later, the Wei Master was good, but unfortunately, he did not grow long, and-oh, I do n’t know if he is dead or alive ... ... "
Speaking of which, the shopkeeper seemed to realize that he had talked too much. He glanced at me and shut his mouth shut. I didn't say anything, just smiled slightly.
"I heard that a new Fu Yin has recently arrived."
"Yes, yes, Lord Liu Qinghan."
"..." I looked at the rippling water in the glass: "Master Liu—how?"
"A good officer, good officer!"
The shopkeeper said two good officials, and seemed to want to say something, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he didn't know how to say it. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "He followed with Master Liu Shizhou and Liu Yi Like adults, they are Qingtian parents! "
His voice had just fallen, and standing on the side was pulling a silk satin, Su Su turned and smiled: "Well? All surnames Liu?"
The shopkeeper also laughed and said, "Yeah. Everyone also said, how so coincident, all good officials from Yangzhou are surnamed Liu, or only the Liu family can really manage Yangzhou well."
I listened calmly, motionless, not even the expression on my face changed.
Just the tea cup in my hand, the tea was slightly rippling.
At this moment, the shopkeeper looked up and looked at the side door behind me. Suddenly he saw something, and stood up in a hurry, saluting with sincerity, saying, "Master."
