Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

Cao Yu's wedding was scheduled for April in the summer of 189. The spring planting and tea picking had ended, but the hottest May had not yet come.

Since the end of March, Cao Yu's classmates have come from all over Jiaozhou. Cao Yu belongs to the third grade, and his classmates are now the backbone of various places. For this wedding, Jiaozhou's administrative system has been severely tested: the Nandao Textile Factory has been suspended for three days, the fourth workshop of the steel smelter has been suspended for half a month, and the Cangwu County Government has a week off... Except for the military, law enforcement, intelligence and other violent agencies cannot During the holiday, the medical hall must have someone on duty, and other departments have paid for their holiday in advance.

The high-pressure eradication of corruption that lasted for half a year is too heavy, even the people of Li people need a happy event to release the accumulated pressure. Ah Sheng also knew the truth of giving a stick to a red date, so he acquiesced to the management of Jiaozhou to make the wedding a festival.

This is a temporary sign of reconciliation.

The happiest one is Cao Yu's future Yue family. Although the bride's father only received a three-day amnesty to watch the ceremony, and he would continue to go back to dig after the wedding, but the Shi family and the Cao family climbed up to kiss after all.

Shi Xie rushed to Zhanjiang County, begging to see the second son, Cao Sheng. What made the soles of his feet float up was the fact that the porter of Dock Castle, who used to treat him with a true color, now had a smile on his face.

"It's Shigong who is here, please sit down for a while, I'll let Xiaotong inform the master."

If you can have a smile, it can explain your attitude.

Shi Xie hurriedly paid his respects: "The King of Lingnan is in a hurry, and he came without notice. Xie was abrupt." Come to pay homage to Cao Sheng.

But the porter of the dock is a retired person, what can't you understand? "It's unfortunate that Shigong came here. Fifth Young Master has two cases to be resolved today, and they will be tried in the South Island. If it goes well, he can return in the evening; if it doesn't go well, it is possible to delay it for two or three days."

Shi Xie waved his hand quickly: "The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister is like a mother. The marriage is a matter of negotiation between the two heads of the family. Shao Ze is diligent in official business, which is very good and very good."

The porter smiled, stopped talking, and brought Shi Xie a bowl of water.

Wood Castle is not big and has a simple population, so within a quarter of an hour, the child who delivered the letter came back. "The master entertains the scholar at the Palm Academy."

Shi Xie got up, patted the dust off his knees, and followed the boy into the dock. In the past, there were only coconut trees and plantains on the lawn, and flower pots were already piled up: red azaleas, pink peach blossoms, white gardenias... like brocades, they spread along the main road, all the way to the main courtyard.

The busy servants are decorating the palace lanterns under the eaves of the main courtyard. The dark brown sandalwood is carved into various exquisite patterns, which are assembled into octagonal, quadrangular, or round lamp stands. Between the frames are two layers of frosted glass with water, which can be illuminated by the candles inside. Shaking water light.

"It's a little messy, please forgive me." The boy said apologetically.

The Cao family prepared meticulously to marry the daughter of a scholar, but Shi Xie was more than happy, and turned to ask the boy who led the way: "Is this here on the day of the wedding?"

"It's natural." The boy nodded proudly, "The fifth son said that the pavement should be paved with flowers, the water lamps should be lighted, and the walls should be painted with pepper mud. agreed."

It is really luxurious. Shi Xie reluctantly took a breath of the fragrance of flowers in the air, and left the main hall of Wubao. Walking along the path, passing the kitchen busy with bacon and wine, the newly decorated main courtyard, and finally came to the Palm Court.

It was as if the air suddenly calmed down. A lot of green trees and shallow lawns surround a semi-dry house with South Island characteristics. There is a well in the yard, and the iron tree is blooming by the well. And above the door were two parrots with brightly colored fur, which quacked when they saw people coming.

"Please come in." A woman's gentle voice came from the room, but Shi Xie's ears trembled. A few months ago, she also used such a gentle voice to pronounce the end of hundreds of people.

A handful of old bones may be buried in the mine. "The punishment is not conjoined, only the stolen money is recovered from Shiwu's family, but if there is concealment or shirk, it will be regarded as an accomplice." Thunder, rain and dew, all fell from the sky, making people feel fearful.

Shi Xie pulled back his thoughts, sorted out his clothes very carefully, and then walked into the room.

Cao Sheng is approving documents, wearing dark uniforms, and his hair is parted in a men's square bun. It was not until Shi Xie entered the room that she put down the pen, clipped the bookmark, and then had the bookcase removed and replaced with a small table for hospitality.

"How come Shigong is here? Now the castle is so busy, I have driven Shao Ze out."

"The Lingnan royal family issued the marriage certificate, and the six ceremonies are complete. Originally, the scholar family should not object."

"Knowing that she was working hard, I sent the gynecologist Fang to take care of her. The procedures and clothes on the wedding day have been simplified, so that she will not suffer. Besides, the King of Lingnan is a joke , please don't call me that in person."

"No... the lord really doesn't mind that your niece is pregnant?"

A Sheng was surprised, but still ordered tea to be served to him: "Lingnan folk customs are open, and most tribes in the mountains are still married [1]. What's this? As long as Shao Ze likes it."

Shi Xie was no longer happy: "Lingnan has transformed into a foreign land, so the young people do not follow the teachings of their elders. When the lord educates the people here, etiquette is still the most important."

This is interesting.

"What do you mean? It's been this month, so I can't have an abortion."

"Daughter of a scholar's family..."

"Stop!" Ah Sheng stopped him, and his face became serious, "Did Shao Ze decide this marriage because of the scholar's family? I already own Jiaozhou, do I still need it? Use Adi’s marriage to please you? Etiquette and etiquette, mutual respect is a great gift, honesty is a great gift, I don’t listen to Shigong’s indecent words, please don’t embarrass me.”

Marriage? Luckily the old man figured it out.

Shi Xie covered his face in shame. "I said that the second brother and his wife were miscalculated." He muttered softly, and then bowed down, "Then ask the king to make the wedding more solemn. This time the fifth son's wedding, there are many people in Lingnan watching the ceremony. It shows a good opportunity for the prosperity of the Chinese language teaching."

"I want to do it according to the ancient etiquette." Ah Sheng helped the soldier up, "But after all, the region is different. For example, how does the bride's five-layer wedding dress dress in Lingnan? Living in the Central Plains, peaches are the most children, and dried peaches are often used in weddings. However, Lingnan is rich in fruits, lychees and longan. Which one does not have more children than peaches? This time Shaoze got married, and Zheng Xuan, a great scholar, arranged the etiquette. No, why don't you go find him. After all, it is the Yue family of Shao Ze, as long as the scholar is willing to say it, Zheng Gong will definitely help."

A Sheng beat and beat the restless taxi away. Turning around, he found Chuan Tan, the third-generation little maid next to him. "The bride is a concubine, and it is difficult to live in the scholar's family. You go to Cangwu County to support her on my private order."

Wedding or something, no matter how important it is, it is far less important than submitting the development plan in the mountainous area of ​​the state. After A Sheng gave an order, he let go. But for Shi Chunji who is pregnant, it is no less than a sunbeam splitting in the gray sky.

What do you want?"

Shi Chunji wiped her tears: "I'm going to wear the wedding dress that Ayu gave me."

"Since it's a wedding dress from the fifth son, who would dare not let you wear it?"

The girl snatched the key from the old woman who was watching the warehouse, turned out a black and blue patterned red flower wedding dress, hugged it into her arms and started crying. This is a set of avant-garde high-waisted skirts, with the belt tied under the chest, so that it won't get stuck in the stomach at all. The inner lining is cool silk, and the outer fabric is also light and fluffy, both thoughtful and beautiful, and every detail is Cao Yu's intention.

The big doctor is over forty years old, she is a cold beauty with a charming charm, and she smiles when she sees the appearance of a scholar. "It's my wish." She talked to Chuan Tan, "I'm not good at fighting my aunt, aunt and aunt. If you come a few days late, I will have to ask the master for help."

The two children of Fangfeng and Kong Mo have already married, and they were kicked out by their father to live alone. They didn't live together, and there was no conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so she was still the high-cold defense doctor who didn't know how to fight.

In the blink of an eye, on the wedding day, Cao Yu rode on a horse and brought a cavalry team that made a cameo appearance by his classmates to Cangwu County to marry his bride. They were walking on a cement and bluestone avenue that had been in use for less than three years. The people of all ethnic groups watching the ceremony had stepped on the wasteland on both sides of the road.

The little official who organized the people to watch the ceremony took the opportunity to follow the new wedding custom advocated by the official popular science manual: the newlyweds should wear black, which is a tradition in the Central Plains, showing solemnity; the carriage carrying the bride is made of coconut shells Decorated, it means abundance; pomegranate flowers, mangosteen flowers, apple blossoms, and peach blossoms transplanted in the coconut shell of the plantain all imply many children; the bride holds papaya in her hand [2], which is taken from the book of Songs, "Throw me with papaya." , repay it with Qiong Ju", which symbolizes that the bride and groom are in free love...

Only the last sentence "free love" can resonate with the people of Jiaozhou, and men, women and children applauded and celebrated. Cao Yu took the opportunity to throw candy, which made the children jump and jump.

At noon and in the evening, the welcoming team stopped in the nearby villages. There are already women doctors and maids who have prepared clean bedding and meals to take care of the pregnant bride. On the contrary, Cao Yu, the fifth son, was going to cook with the big men.

This long road has been walking for seven days before reaching the end of Zhanjiang County. After a day of grooming, bathing and changing clothes, the newlyweds held hands and entertained guests in Wubao.

At this time, after the sun sank into the mountain, the sky darkened, the fragrance floated in the courtyard, and hundreds of water lanterns lit up one by one, illuminating the road in the dock, the top at the end of the road, No parents, just a thin figure sitting.

That is the heroine of this land.

Cao Yu bowed sincerely and put his forehead against his hands. "Without my second brother, I wouldn't be where I am today. My second brother is like a parent to me."

It was Cao Sheng who pulled him along a long and dormant road, and finally reached the top of the South China Sea, where he was admired by all the people.

Thirty years in the world, like a song at her fingertips, like a dream.

The author has something to say: Note [1]: Walking marriage system. A marriage custom in matriarchal society, the man spends the night at the woman's house and returns to his home during the day. Marriage and love are free, and children follow their mother's surname. So far, there are preserved in the southwest of my country, and more in ancient times.

Note [2]: The papaya in the Book of Songs is not the papaya we eat now, but another plant native to my country.
