February 24th is a good day to get married and travel.

In the streets and alleys of Quanzhou City, people are vying to make colorful decorations, and there is a huge flow of people.

When several merchants who came here because of the reputation first arrived in Quanzhou, they thought they were experiencing some special local festival in Quanzhou.

A few people were about to disembark from the boat and head west from the avenue. Suddenly, a strong aroma of meat hit them. They couldn't help but salivate and appetite. After smelling the aroma, they walked away and saw a restaurant. The rich aroma of meat came from the restaurant.

It came from the front.

"Staff, your stewed meat is so delicious!" The leader, a strong man in his mid-twenties, straightened his nose, smiled on his face, and kept glancing into the store.

"To be honest, sir, if you try our meat all over Quanzhou City, you won't be able to find another one!" The waiter is a boy who looks about seventeen or eighteen years old.

A towel and a smile on his face.

"What's so special about your meat?" the strong man at the head asked curiously.

"Please come in, sir, and I'll let you know what I'm saying slowly!" The waiter bowed and waved his handkerchief, and stood sideways to greet him with a smile on his face.

"I'm about to try it!" The strong man walked in front and strode into the store.

It's already past midnight, it's not time for dinner yet, and there aren't many customers in the shop.

"Waiter, bring up ten kilograms of your stewed meat, and a jar of good wine!"

"Okay!" The smile on the waiter's face became brighter and brighter, and he shouted to the chef: "Ten pounds of cooked meat, a jar of good wine!"

"Sir, sit down a moment, and the meat and wine will be on your way soon!"

However, the strong man in charge called the waiter at the hotel and asked him his doubts: "Waiter, let me ask you something. Isn't it a festival today? Why is it that every house in the city is decorated with lights and colorful decorations? Isn't it so lively?"

The waiter looked around at the few people and said with a smile: "A few of the guests have just returned from a long trip, or it is their first time to visit our Quanzhou!"

"Oh? Is there anything else I can't explain here?" the strong man asked curiously.

The waiter said: "If you have been in Quanzhou recently, you will naturally know that today is a happy day for our Lord Wang Tongpan of Quanzhou! The people are grateful for Tongban's kindness, and they have spontaneously held a memorial ceremony in the city since the day before yesterday.

Lanterns and colorful decorations congratulate Wang Tongpan on his great happiness!"

"But that Wang Tongpan who invented the magic method of drying salt?" the strong man asked immediately.

"We have only one general judge in Quanzhou, and there is no one else!"

"A few guest officials are lucky today. The Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce sent people here the day before yesterday. In order to congratulate Wang Tong, all teahouses and restaurants in the city today, as long as guests come to the door, even if they serve wine and meat, they will be recorded in the accounts of the Chamber of Commerce. Tomorrow

Someone will come to settle the account."

"Is there such a good thing?" The strong man and several companions were very surprised.

But the waiter in the shop explained enthusiastically: "What does this mean? Without Wang Tongpan, how would we be in Quanzhou today? Not to mention these shops in the city, even the people in Quanzhou city would not dare to think about it.

A favor!"

As he was talking, the waiter sighed and said with some regret: "If Tongtongpan hadn't allowed it, we would have built a shrine for Tongpan long ago and offered incense to worship him every day!"

"Oh?" The strong man became more and more curious. Looking at the waiter's expression, he asked impatiently: "There are still people in the world who don't want others to offer incense to their shrine?"

The waiter said: "Wang Tongpan said that the purpose of serving as an official is to govern the place and make the people live a prosperous life, not for the incense and sacrifices. He also said that instead of spending money on incense and candles as tribute, it is better to spend the money on your own family.

For my nephew and I, it is far better to give him something to support him and to support his wife and children. Buying more meat for his wife, children and children is far better than building a shrine to worship him."

The strong man and his companions were really shocked by the waiter's words. People in this world work hard for half their lives and devote themselves to nothing but fame and fortune, but this Wang Tongpan behaves completely differently.

"To tell you the truth, second brother, we brothers heard about Wang Tongpan's name, so we came all the way, thinking we could get a job in Quanzhou." The strong man didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly rushed.

The waiter raised his hands and asked, "I wonder if the waiter can give me some advice?"

The waiter looked at the strong man's tall and thick figure and said, "It depends on what the guest officer wants to do!"

"What else can't be said?" the strong man asked.

The waiter said: "If you want to join the army, you can sign up if you go north of the pier, as long as you are clean! If you want to go overseas and do business, you can go to the shipbuilding department in the south. If you don't have capital, you can go to various shops. If you want to do farming,

, you can go to the county government office in the city and if you want to buy land, there is a tooth shop next to the city gate..."

······

Inside the city, the royal residence.

Although Wang Chong did not make any big announcement, the wealthy officials, gentry and wealthy people in Quanzhou came to congratulate him spontaneously. However, before the last moment, Wang Chong was staggered and helped by Yu Chuer into the inner courtyard to entertain the guests.

Naturally, it was entrusted to Wang Zhong's good Shangguan Chen Jun, who was also Quanzhou's parent official.

In the new house, Minglan, who was wearing new clothes, a phoenix crown on her head, and holding a round fan, suddenly became nervous when she heard the sound of the door opening. She hurriedly raised the round fan in her hand to cover her pretty face, but she couldn't help but quietly lowered the round fan.

He looked towards the door cautiously like a thief.

I saw Wang Zhong, who was dressed in a bright red groom's suit and a jade crown, smelling of alcohol. He opened the curtain and walked into the inner room. As soon as Wang Zhong appeared, his clear eyes met Minglan's, and Minglan was so embarrassed.

Lan Qiao's face turned slightly red, and she quickly raised her fan to cover her face.

A pair of big red candles were burning on the table, and the red clothes on his body contrasted with the green clothes on the bed, which looked very pleasant. Wang Zhong had no idea how many marriages he had had, and how many women he had, but today, with his three books and six etiquettes, eight

It was my first time to carry a sedan chair to marry a wife, and I felt a different kind of feeling in my heart.

Walking quickly to the bedside, the fan in Minglan's hand also moved with Wang Zhong, always blocking the way between the two of them.

Wang Zhong raised his hand to catch the slender hand holding the round fan, took off the round fan and put it aside. Looking at Minglan's delicate face, Wang Zhong smiled tenderly and called out: "Madam!"

"Officer!" Minglan's face was instantly filled with blush, she lowered her head in shame, not daring to look at Wang Zhong, and replied softly.

"From today on, Sixth Sister is part of my Wang family!" Wang Zhong's title suddenly changed.

"Ah?" Minglan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing this. She raised her head and looked at Wang Zhong, as if asking why she suddenly called herself Sixth Sister again.

Wang Zhong seemed to see the doubts in Minglan's heart, and while taking off the phoenix crown on Minglan's head, he said with a smile: "I think the sixth sister's name is more smooth!"

"Masters, don't make fun of me!" Minglan turned sideways and said.

Wang Zhong suddenly possessed him and picked up Minglan by the waist. He also stood up. Minglan was startled and quickly wrapped her arms around Wang Zhong's neck. She seemed to have thought of something, and instantly her little head was spinning.

Shrunk like a quail.

But what he expected didn't happen. Wang Zhong carried Minglan to the table and sat down. Then he said to the outside: "Come in!"

As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, several female envoys pushed open the door and entered, holding trays in their hands. In the trays were fragrant rice and several steaming dishes.

"After a day of hard work, Sixth Sister must be hungry. Let's eat some food first and then get down to business!"

Minglan was still a little shy, but she was indeed hungry. Although Wang Zhong arranged for someone to deliver food at noon, it was not the end of the day now, and Minglan was already hungry.

After finishing two bowls of rice, Minglan burped unsatisfactorily, then quickly raised her hands to cover her mouth and nose, looking at Wang Zhong with some embarrassment.

Wang Zhong laughed, had the food removed, and pulled Minglan onto the bed. The pair of dragon and phoenix candles on the table were burning brightly, and the group of newlyweds in the curtain were getting closer and closer.

It was already dark outside, and the guests were still having wine in the front hall, until the willow branches dispersed one after another under the moonlight.

Early the next morning, at noon than Yinshi, the newlyweds, who were still tenderly in bed, were woken up by their grandmother. They went to the back hall to pay homage to their ancestors, offered incense and kowtowed to the parents and ancestors of Wang Zhong's body, and then they went to pay homage to their eldest sister-in-law, Wang Li and Sheng.

old lady.

Seeing that Minglan's complexion was not bad, Old Madam Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. As a woman, Old Madam Sheng naturally knew the ropes. Wang Zhong was in his prime, so Old Madam Sheng was inevitably worried that Wang Zhong would not control himself and drag his grandson with him.

His daughter has been struggling endlessly. Now it seems that Wang Zhong is a caring person.

Feeling increasingly satisfied with Wang Zhong, brothers Wang Qier and Wang Xu also came to meet their new aunt.

After some greetings, Mrs. Wang Li had the food brought out, and the whole family sat around the table, eating the exquisite breakfast and chatting.

"From today on, the lady is the eldest lady in the family, and the housekeeper's affairs must also be put on the agenda. There are not many people in the family, and the house is small. For the lady, it should be easy to handle!"

Mrs. Wang Li also smiled and said: "What my uncle said is that now that my sister is here, I can free up my hands and focus more on the dyeing workshop! In case Mrs. Wei keeps saying that I am the shop owner!"

"I haven't read any books. In the future, Sister Qian and Brother Xu will have to ask my sister to help me discipline them!"

"We are all a family, and Minglan will definitely do her best!" Minglan agreed directly without any excuses.

"Then it's hard on my sister! If they don't obey, my sister can take action against them! Don't worry about it." When Mrs. Wang Li said this, she did not forget to wink at her children.

The two siblings immediately stood up and saluted Minglan.

Old Mrs. Sheng sat next to her, watching Minglan getting along with Wang Zhong's family. She couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Many vague memories hidden in the depths of her mind emerged. In a trance, she seemed to have seen the scene she had just seen decades ago.

How she looked when she married into the Sheng family.

After breakfast, Wang Li went to the dyeing workshop, Wang Qian'er and Wang Xu went to the book school. Wang remarried Yan'er, so naturally he had to have a few days off. Chen Jun took care of all the big and small things in the yamen. Wang

Zhong then took Mrs. Sheng and Minglan out for a stroll.

Although it is only late February, due to its geographical location, Quanzhou is already full of life and flowers are in full bloom.

I don’t know whether it was because she was far away from the intrigues in the inner house or because she was in a new place. Seeing that her granddaughter had a home, Mrs. Sheng’s mood also improved. She could always smile on her face, and sometimes she would laugh heartily.

, very happy.

After arriving in Quanzhou for only ten days, my complexion became more and more rosy, and my body gradually became stronger.

Time passed day by day, and Minglan gradually got used to sharing the same bed with Wang Zhong. The newlyweds were just getting married. Although Wang Zhong never said those romantic and nice words, but when Minglan

But it’s good that there’s nothing to say.

It was just a pain for Minglan. At night, she had to work with Wang Zhong on how to continue the family lineage and continue the incense. She had to go to greet Mrs. Sheng early in the morning. She couldn't sleep late every day, so she could only make up for it at noon.

On this day, Wang Zhong was handling official business of the shipping company in the yamen. Yu Chuer suddenly came to report that there was a man outside the door and wanted to see Wang Zhong.
