Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

.mhtx. Qizhou Governor's Office.

At this moment, it can be said that the hall is full of guests and it is very lively. Wang Renbiao is the prefect of Qizhou, and the eldest son of the Wang family in Taiyuan is married. Who dares not to come to the officials in Qizhou?

Not only the officialdom, but the wealthy businessmen and gentry in Qizhou, with their heads and faces, all crowded their heads and wanted to participate in this wedding banquet. After all, Wang Renbiao was the "boss" of Qizhou's territory, and Wang Yu and Princess Tongan, two heavyweights, were also in Qizhou. , If you can use this wedding banquet to have a relationship with Wang Renbiao or the Wang family, then you will be completely developed!

So even if many people couldn't get the invitations, they still licked their faces and came to send congratulations, wanting to get acquainted in front of Wang Renbiao, Wang Yu, and Princess Tong'an.

However, as the Wang family was an aristocratic family from the previous year, they were naturally not short of money, so in terms of congratulations, those guests who had nothing to do with the Wang family would not accept any congratulations! If you come to celebrate Wang Renbiao's wedding, you are welcome. You can eat whatever you want on the flowing water table outside the governor's house, but you want to take this opportunity to bribe Wang Renbiao with a heavy gift. I'm sorry, but the Wang family will not accept this gift!

This rule was set by Wang Yu, and now the family is in turmoil. In terms of style, Wang Yu is quite cautious! In his opinion, the Wang family has a long history, so why has it ever been short of money? There's no need to let the censors take hold of them for this petty profit!

You must know that since the fall of the Cui family and the Zheng family, the censors in the court are particularly fond of collecting information about the evil deeds of the children of the noble family, in order to prove their integrity and noble character! Wang Yu will never make a low-level mistake in this matter!

And Wang Renbiao is also very supportive of his decision! As the prefect of Qizhou, Wang Renbiao naturally did not want his county officials to send expensive gifts because of his big wedding. The land of Qizhou is not rich, and most of the officials can only live on the salaries of the imperial court (of course. , except for corrupt officials), in this case, how could Wang Renbiao want their congratulations? And this is also easy to form a wind of comparison!

So when he sent people to distribute invitations to the officials of the counties in Qizhou, Wang Renbiao asked his servants to clearly inform them that people could come, but they would not accept any congratulations!

This kind of behavior has naturally been unanimously praised by the officials in the Qizhou officialdom. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the management of local officials was relatively clear. It cannot be said that there are no corrupt officials, but the proportion of corrupt officials is absolutely very small, and most officials are still relatively Incorruptible. Before that, many officials were worried when they knew that Wang Renbiao was about to get married, because Wang Renbiao was both the prefect of Qizhou and the eldest son of the Wang family in Taiyuan. , Offend the Wang family? But if this gift is too valuable, your own purse will not allow it! This is really a dilemma!

Therefore, Wang Renbiao's move can be regarded as a relief for most officials in Qizhou!

Not only that, the common people are also full of praise for the marriage of Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu, because today there are thousands of tables of flowing water mats on the streets outside the governor's mansion, and the flowing water mats will be set up for three days, during which all the people will be happy. Can eat for free.

This is Wang Renbiao's handwriting!

When Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi got married last year, they invited almost the people of Chang'an City to eat "chicken" (of course, there were preconditions at that time, that is, everyone had to bring a bunch of flowers before going there), and now Wang Renbiao Wang Renbiao naturally wanted to have a lively wedding with Li Jingchu, because Li Jingchu suffered too much for him, and he wanted to make amends for her!

"The bride is here! The bride is here!"

At three quarters of the hour, the welcoming team finally returned. The crowd outside the governor's mansion took the initiative to make way. Wang Renbiao got off his horse and pulled Li Jingchu out of the carriage. Looking at the new couple, the onlookers and the guests at the Governor's Mansion couldn't help but admire:

"Inspector Wang is young and handsome, this young lady of the Li family has a beautiful appearance, but it's a match made in heaven!"

"Who said no? This groom and bride are a perfect match!"

"This Miss Li family belongs to our Yongxian County, and this is to bring glory to our Yongxian County!"

"Maybe the Inspector Wang will stay in Qizhou because of this, and the people of Qizhou will be blessed too!"

"Haha! That's right!"

There are those who praise and bless from the heart, and naturally there are those who speak sarcastically, but these sarcastic people only dare to whisper on the small face:

"But I heard that the Li family is just a family of merchants, while the governor Wang was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan. Isn't this a bit of a misunderstanding?"

"Yeah! It is said that the owner of the Wang family and Princess Tong'an came from Suizhou thousands of miles this time to break up their pair!"

"Then why are they still together now?"

"You don't know that, right? It's said..."

Faced with these gossips in private, Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu were too lazy to listen or pay attention. Both of them knew that it was not easy for them to be together now, and naturally they would not worry about themselves because of the opinions of others!

Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu jointly held a red silk, stepped on the red carpet, and walked into the governor's house. Next, the newcomers will go through three "levels" - crossing the brazier, crossing the saddle, and crossing the rice bag!

In the courtyard, the master of ceremonies sang in a loud voice: "Yufeng raised his feet to the fire, and hid on both sides of the evil spirits. Happy to land in Fuwo from the sky, the good days are prosperous! The newcomer crosses the brazier—"

"A piece of sandalwood, carved into a jade saddle, the newcomer walks over, step by step to ensure safety. The newcomer crosses the saddle—"

"A generation wins a generation with food and clothing. New

People cross rice bags—"

At this moment, taking advantage of the newcomer's entry into the mansion, the long history of the governor's mansion also began to sing congratulatory gifts. This congratulatory gift is also an indispensable part of the wedding. One is to show the man's family connections, and the other is to send congratulations to him. A kind of respect from the guests!

Previously, Wang Yu and Wang Renbiao had indeed asked the officials and ordinary people in Qizhou who came to the banquet today not to bring congratulations, but that was because the relationship between those people and the Wang family had not reached that point. Not to sincerely congratulate Wang Renbiao on his new marriage, but to please Wang Renbiao and cling to the Wang family! But this does not mean that the Governor's House will not accept congratulations today!

For those who have a close and good relationship with the Wang family or Wang Renbiao, they still have to receive gifts. After all, this is a due exchange of gifts between friends and acquaintances! If you don't accept it, it will appear inhumane!

I saw Chang Shi at the door holding a long gift list and singing loudly:

"Liu Wenchang, the prefect of Xiangzhou, came to congratulate him and gave him 400,000 yuan, a pair of red gold inlaid treasure buckles, a pair of white jade mandarin duck buckles, and a pair of golden hairpins with double luan and longevity fruit~!"

"Zhang Wenfang, magistrate of Sui County, came to congratulate him and gave him 100,000 coins, a jade Buddha, a pair of gold cups, and six silver collars~!"

"Deng Guangcai, magistrate of Xiangyang County, came to congratulate him and gave him 100,000 yuan, a pair of white jade mandarin duck buckles and a jade Buddha~!"

"Mr. Zhang Jing from the school of Suizhou Prefecture is here to congratulate him and give him 30,000 yuan, a copy of the Four Treasures of the First Class Study, and a copy of the Calligraphy Sage Wang Youjun's calligraphy treasure~!"

"Mr. He Wenqing, Xue Xuezheng of Xiangzhou Prefecture, came to congratulate him and gave him 30,000 yuan and a rubbing copy of "The Picture of the Qin Qin"~!"

("Pictograph of the Qin" was made by Gu Kaizhi, a painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and his representative works are "Luoshen Fu Tu")

Most of the people at the top of the gift list are local officials in or near Suizhou. Of course, there are also teachers from local government schools. Wang Yujiu was an official in Suizhou, and of course he met many local officials. These people came to congratulate and send gifts. Of course you have to pay!

Among these gifts, there are gold and silver jewelry, as well as famous calligraphy and paintings. Generally speaking, these gifts are not worth a thousand dollars, but they are better than the gifts. After all, these people are either officials in one party, or Mr. Fu Xue, Not to mention the wealthy and wealthy, the family wealth is huge!

It is not surprising for the people who came to congratulate the officials in Suizhou, the people who knew the inside story and the guests, but everyone felt that these congratulations seemed almost meaningless. It's just over a hundred, and for a thousand-year-old family like the Wang family, it's completely unworthy of mention!

But soon, the "local tyrants" that everyone was looking forward to came:

"Fan Yang Lu's Lu Chengqing came to congratulate him and sent four million in money, four gold collars, six silver collars, one golden phoenix with pearls and silk, one golden hairpin with a pair of longevity fruit, and a pair of golden phoenix hairpins with pearls. , a pair of emerald-inlaid Hetian white jade phoenix hairpins, a pair of emerald-pointed silk phoenix hairpins~!"

"Li Jingxuan of Zhao County, Li Clan, came to congratulate him and gave him 4 million yuan, a pair of white jade mandarin duck buttons, four pairs of beeswax turquoise jackets and buttons, two points of a small knife and a sickle with a jade handle and an ivory handle, four gold collars, and six silver collars. a~!"

There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd:

"Hey~! Give four million in money! People from the Lu family of Fan Yang and the Li family of Zhaojun are actually here! Inspector Wang's face is really big!"

"Lu Chengqing? Li Jingxuan? They are the eldest sons of Fan Yang Lu's and Zhao Jun's Li's eldest house! They actually came in person!"

"That's why the Wang family can have this influence!"

While everyone was discussing, they only listened to the governor of the prefectural government continue to read aloud:

"The Marquis of Yong'an of Chang'an sent someone to congratulate his sister-in-law on the wedding of the Inspector Wang, with a special gift of 8 million yuan, four pairs of top-quality night pearls, a golden phoenix with precious pearls, a golden hairpin with a double luan and a longevity fruit. A pair of pearl-gold phoenix hairpins, a pair of jade-and-white jade phoenix-bird hairpins inlaid with emeralds, a horse-drawn carriage, three second-generation bicycles, and a special electric car made by the Qiquge workshop~!"

More than a month ago, the large locusts were closed in Qizhou, and the land of Qizhou was also affected by the plague of locusts. When Li Zexuan led the Tianji team north, he passed by Qizhou, and within a few days, he wiped out the locusts in the farmland in Qizhou. After everything was clean, the people of Qizhou all recited Li Zexuan's good words. Now, after hearing the three words Yonganhou recited by the governor of the prefecture, how could the onlookers and the guests in the mansion not be shocked? Everyone was not only shocked by the congratulations in the gift list, but also shocked by another identity of the bride:

"Giving eight million dollars! The Marquis of Yongan is so arrogant!"

"What? The Marquis of Yongan also came to congratulate you?"

"I heard that the Marquis of Yong'an and our Inspector Wang are close friends. I didn't know whether this rumor was true or false before, but now it seems to be true!"

"In that case, aren't the people of Qizhou also blessed? Yongan Houna Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce has a lot of novelties? I don't know if we can come to Qizhou to open a branch!"

"Who said there are no branches anymore? This car dealership in Miss Li's house sells carriages from the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce!"

"Is there still such a thing?"

"Tsk tsk! Eight million dollars! How much money is that! I've never seen so much money in my life!"

"Cut! What is this? You hear that the last two gifts in the gift list are precious!"

"What gift?"

"Here! It's the second-generation bicycle, and the electric car specially made by the Qiquge workshop!"

"The second-generation bicycle? The second-generation bicycle mentioned in the "Datang Daily" a while ago? We don't have a few of these in Qizhou, right?"

"Isn't that true? Look at how generous Yongan Hou is, and give away three cars as soon as he sells it! This is actually nothing, the most precious thing is the electric car specially made by the Tricky Pavilion workshop!"

"What is this electric car? How come I've never heard of it

? "

"Hey! This electric car is so amazing. Most people don't know it at all. My uncle has been doing business in Chang'an, so I heard some news! It is said that this electric car is a huge big iron box, and people sit in it. , without the need for livestock to pull, and without the need to pedal with your feet, the car can go automatically, which is amazing!"

"Hu~! Is there such a car in this world?"

"Yeah! Before that, there was only one car in the entire Tang Dynasty. It was given to the Marquis of Yongan when Yan Shaoning, the son of the Minister of Industry, got married. I didn't expect that the Marquis of Yongan also sent one to the wedding. If you can see it with your own eyes. The last time I saw it, I had no regrets in my life!”

"Eh? No, did you notice just now that the Chief of the Prefect's Office said that Miss Li is the righteous sister of the Marquis of Yong'an?"

"That's right! I heard that too!"

"When did Miss Li become the righteous sister of the Marquis of Yongan?"

"Hey! Someone said before that Miss Li's family and Inspector Wang were wrong. Let me see who would dare to say that now?"

"Yes! Miss Li and Inspector Wang are obviously well-matched, talented and beautiful. Whoever dares to say that they are not a good match in the future will see if I don't tear their mouths!"

A month ago, Li Zexuan saved more than 100,000 mu of farmland in Qizhou, which is to save tens of thousands of people in Qizhou. In the hearts of people in Qizhou, Li Zexuan has become a savior, so now I heard that Li Jingchu was looking at Li Zexuanyi. Sister, Aiwu and Wuxia, they also respected and loved Li Jingchu as a bride!

This is Li Zexuan's reputation in Qizhou! Although he is not an official in Qizhou, his prestige is not much worse than that of Wang Renbiao, the prefect of Qizhou!

"Brother? Wang...Ren Biao, when did I become Lord Hou's righteous sister?"

While the people were chatting and cheering, Li Jingchu, the party involved, was full of questions. After she had just finished crossing the rice sack with Wang Renbiao, she couldn't help but stop, pulled the red silk that Wang Renbiao was holding, and asked in a low voice.
