New Empire at the End of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 226



Liu Bu sent the bride to the door of his new house and went back to the lobby. Now the banquet has officially opened in the lobby.

This meal is the most important meal of his wedding, called dinner.

There are as many as 20 tables in their main hall, where the local dignitaries and gentry are concentrated.

This large-scale disaster relief of the Liu family has fully absorbed the hearts of the local people.

Liu Bu saw many familiar faces. They were local officials. Even Wang pangzi, who was killed by him, came, smiling and happy. Among so many people here, there were also Liu Bu\'s confidants and subordinates, such as Liu Zhongyong, Xiao Ning, Zhou Hui, Mao Shengli, Yang Shun, Zhou Wentong, song xiance, etc.

In addition, his father\'s friends and subordinates in the officialdom, such as Liu Yuanshan, Liu Yu, Wu Guoan, Wang Wendong, etc. Liu Yuanqiao is the magistrate of Laizhou, which is the largest in the local area. Generally, he comes mainly from his subordinates.

Of course, they invited Denglai Governor Chen YingYuan and Dengzhou governor Deng Bingwen, but in the end, the other party didn\'t come, but sent gifts.

This shows that there are only superficial faces left on both sides, which can be torn open at any time.

Then even Zheng Zhibao\'s subordinates and Zheng zining\'s subordinates came to celebrate their boss\'s wedding.

In this happy day, Liu Bu suddenly thought of one thing, that is, who is his mother?

He often went to incense and saw his mother\'s name was liumen, Wang\'s Jingyi spirit in heaven.

According to the truth, his father Liu Yuanqiao is also a son of a rich family. Of course, he married a legitimate daughter of a rich family. It is impossible to take a small family with an improper family. That means his grandfather\'s family should be a rich family, but there is really no sense of existence here. Every time he asks, he always says that his mother died early, He didn\'t know anything about his grandparents\' family, and he didn\'t know whether he had an uncle. They rarely had contact with each other. For example, he didn\'t invite each other for such an important thing as his marriage this time, and neither of them came.

However, the idea just flashed past Liu bu. He was soon annoyed by other things, because there were so many guests today. He basically had to give a toast and get to know each other.

Under the leadership of his father Liu Yuanqiao, Liu Bu toasted and saluted table by table, mainly to let him know his friends in officialdom, local gentry and celebrities.

Liu Bu\'s face was stiff with laughter, while Liu Yunqiao was always happy and angry.

Liu Bu was the first to respect, of course, his grandmother, the Buddha and his second aunt. At their table, little Liu Ying blushed like an apple.

Since his return from Linqing, Liu Bu has been concentrating on military training and rarely dealing with local people. He is in charge of military training. It seems that Liu Fuqi is generally in charge of his logistics. Liu Fuqi will handle these things properly, because the Liu family is the richest powerful local people, and others act according to their faces, So there has never been any problem.

Of course, these partners must be recognized.

Liu Bu\'s smiling face was stiff today. He drank so much that he wanted to vomit. Fortunately, he was prepared. He ate something to sober up and had some eggs to lay the foundation, so he didn\'t vomit.

Liu Bu said to him, "fortunately, people can only kiss once."

If you kiss several times like this, you may toss people to death.

Contemporary nobles, except those top nobles who can have three wives and four concubines, are not allowed by many officials and people. Of course, rich people can marry many concubines and aunts, but there is only one wife recognized by law.

You can only marry when you are married. If you take a concubine like this, you will violate the law. Even those who are officials will be impeached by the censor at any time.

In addition to the relatives and friends of the Liu family, there are also the subordinates of the Zheng family.

The relatives of the Liu family are similar to those of the Zheng family. The Zheng family comes from Zheng Zhibao and some of his subordinates. There are few relatives. They mainly come from their subordinates.

Zheng Zhibao has a large number of his subordinates, and Zheng zining also has his subordinates. For example, several of Zheng zining\'s subordinates are female generals, which should be related to his being a female commander.

Today, those who can have a banquet here in the Liu family lobby are all dignitaries. Many of them are the heads of the family, and few of them attend with their family members. For example, there are five female generals at this table, which surprised the others.

They inquired one after another. When they knew that this was the subordinate of the second generation mother of the bride Liu family, they suddenly realized that this bride was still a heroine like Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan army, is a well-known heroine in the world. From the official to the commander-in-chief, even the imperial court officially recognized him. He was met by the emperor. Looking at the young grandmother of the Liu family leading so many soldiers, I\'m afraid he is also the same strong man, but he should be active on the sea, not like Qin Liangyu riding a white horse and a long gun.

Liu Bu toasted table by table. For those who came to attend his wedding and drink his wedding banquet, he must maintain the greatest respect. In the end, he had to do some false things, that is, order his adjutant Liu Kang to take out the yin-yang pot and pour water to Liubu. If he poured it to others for persuasion, it would be wine.

Liu Bu has so many departments. He needs to give them a few glasses of wine, persuade them and make an atmosphere. For example, Liu Zhongyong, Xiao Ning, Mao Shengli, Yang Shun, Liu Yu, Zhou Hui and so on. These people have made great contributions and deserve respect.

There are also some generals under Zheng zining. They also need to know each other. Otherwise, it would be impolite to meet my uncle without saying hello.

Zheng zining is still commanding the Navy under his father\'s banner, and they have made an agreement that she will continue to master this Navy for a long time after she gets married, and will not transfer it until she finds a suitable person to take over.

Their Liu family is also at a critical time. They also need a trusted person to take charge of the Navy for them in order to ensure their interests.

For example, they are now separated in the Zheng family. After they are separated, they consign their things overseas and transport them back from overseas. How to calculate this account and how to transfer and divide interests with the Zheng family requires a strong and powerful person to stabilize here and set a strict set of standards.

They are still inseparable from the Zheng family. They still need to do business with the Zheng family, so they must achieve the effect of clear accounting by their own brothers.

Such a person is Zheng zining, because if Zheng Zhibao does it, Zheng Zhibao is a person who doesn\'t pay much attention to money. He can easily confuse everything. Zheng zining is used to having clear accounts and clear organization. Dividing and sorting everything is the best way.

Liu Bu is thinking that this is his wise wife\'s help. He can\'t make her such a powerful person and let her keep her in the backyard to wash and cook. Just leave these things to Chen Yuanyuan. Zheng zining can help the Liu family.

Their banquet unknowingly ate the beginning of the lantern. When the lantern was lit, countless fireworks were set off outside the yard and the mansion, illuminating the sky with incomparable beauty.

Fireworks are rare these days. Few people can afford them except rich families. That is, the young master of the Liu family invited a large number of craftsmen from Linqing to make a lot of fireworks for them. It is also a local event here.

So many fireworks make the sky point very beautiful. Even Zheng zining can\'t help but push the window with Liu Bu to come to the door to see these fireworks performances. You know, these fireworks performances are not easy to see. They can only be seen on the Lantern Festival in big cities.

After Liu Bu finally finished a round of wine, he slipped into his bridal chamber.

Because he heard that Zheng zining told him to come back early, mainly to see the fireworks show.

After Liu Bu slipped back to his bridal chamber, he immediately took a scale and picked Zheng zining\'s head.

He saw Zheng zining with heavy makeup today, with a shy face, just like the night they happened to have. This style is very small. Only Liu Bude has seen it. She is not a shy person. She is generous in everything. Even living with him openly does not taboo her subordinates, but now she is so shy, I saw it the first time.

However, Liu Bu thought that the clothes she painted today were too thick and ugly, especially when she painted an oriental makeup on a western face. Liu Bu wanted to say that you look better without makeup than makeup, but he said against his heart: "you are very beautiful today."

Zheng zining said to her, "hurry up and have a drink?"

Liu Bu smiled and said, "are you so worried?"

Zheng zining said to her, "isn\'t this nonsense? I haven\'t eaten since this morning. Are you hungry?"

Liu Bu today he ate until he vomited and drank until he vomited. Unexpectedly, his bride didn\'t eat anything today. She poured two glasses of wine and then let people go to the banquet.

Because the weather is too cold, they can only cook and eat now. It can be said that if they don\'t eat a cup of tea, they will freeze into a mound. Now it\'s cold winter. They also put warm water dishes in each dish of food to heat it to prevent it from getting cold quickly.

Zheng zining picked a red cap and drank a glass of wine before she finished the ceremony completely. Then she saw the food coming up and ate it quickly. When they heard the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside the window, they hurriedly pulled Liu Bu to the door to see it.
