Ming Zuo

Chapter 1188
It was the Spring Festival, and the King Xia was getting married, and the Qing army's harassment was successfully repelled. The people felt at ease, and the whole Jinan was more lively than ever.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a paradise on earth.

"In the past, getting married was endlessly busy up and down, inside and outside, and there was no free time. Today, I don't know what's wrong, I don't know what to be busy with."

Huang's nagging made everyone laugh.

Her feelings are also everyone's feelings.

It stands to reason that Zuo Menggeng and Wang Siyi's wedding will be extremely grand and gorgeous, and there will be a lot of things to be arranged.

But now everyone's feeling is that it seems very ordinary, no different from everyday life.

"Who says it's not? Marriage is a major event in life, how can it be careless? I'm just such a girl, and I should be able to do it well. Whoever imagined it, once I said it, that girl would not agree. Sigh!"

Wang Siyi is about to get married, and Wang Shizhong certainly cannot stay out of it.

This old man is even more face-saving, and even boasted that he would spend one million taels of silver to arrange the marriage.

As soon as Wang Siyi heard it, she called back on the spot.

Don't look at Wang Shizhong as his father, but he can't get strong in front of Wang Siyi at all, he can only feel aggrieved.

Today, when the in-laws met and heard Huang's nagging, it could be regarded as letting him find the backbone.

Wang Siyi's wedding was not beautiful enough, but Wang Shizhong had no face.

This embarrassing thing made him unable to lift his head.

"I am a soldier, and I am also a princess. Of course, I must set an example and be respectful. How can I ruin the morale of the entire army because of my own affairs?"

Sitting beside him, Wang Siyi also expressed her thoughts.

As for how to hold the wedding, the couple had already discussed it.

It is absolutely not possible to make a big fuss and be extravagant, otherwise, the upper and lower will be effective, and if things go on like this, it will inevitably lead to the proliferation of extravagance, and it will be easier to corrode the spirit of the army.

Only Xu Ruolin was a little worried.

"I'm afraid that the wedding will be simple, and gossip outside will think that I treat you harshly."

Xu Ruolin entered the door first, and she was a doctor in the eyes of the outside world.

Moreover, the rumors about her and Zuo Menggeng's wedding were widely known and had a great influence.

If Wang Siyi's wedding is even a little weaker now, it will be easy to be gossiped by the world.

On the other hand, Wang Siyi was calm and peaceful, and she was even in the mood to tease Zuo Xuanyan.

She picked up the candy beside her and stuffed it into Zuo Xuanyan's mouth.

"The wedding didn't cost much, but it wasn't shabby. In terms of scenery, my sister may not be as good as me."

When she said this, Xu Ruolin couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

For Zuo Menggeng and Wang Siyi's wedding, Xu Ruolin was the one who took care of the most, so of course she understood all the details.

When planning, Zuo Menggeng made it very clear.

A military wedding has a military charter, so it may not be weaker than the previous one.

Now that Wang Siyi accepted it calmly, she no longer worried.

Looking back, seeing Zuo Xuanyan chewing with sugar in her mouth, she immediately became angry.

"Oh, damn girl, don't feed your child so much sugar, her teeth haven't even grown yet."

The mother who protects the calf is a tiger.

Xu Ruolin hugged Zuo Xuanyan over and began to pick the candy from the child's mouth.

How can a child let go of something sweet?Immediately struggled up and cried loudly at the same time.

"Erniang, help... help! Mom... Mom, she doesn't love me anymore."

Xu Ruolin was even more angry.

"Little bastard, your mother almost lost half her life because of you."

Wang Siyi clapped her hands and laughed.

"Daughter is still nice to me, you are jealous."

Xu Ruolin was furious.

"If you like a child, you can give birth to yourself. What's the point of robbing my wife?"

Wang Shizhong and Huang Shi sat aside, seeing the two women getting along well, they were all in a good mood.

Such a family has a lot less worries.

"Instructor, how is it? Is there anything wrong?"

Amakusa Tokisada carefully arranged the military uniform on her body, cherishing it very much.

His current appearance is guaranteed to be unrecognizable to his companions in Japan.

His hair has been shaved off, no longer the old pot head, but a shiny forehead.

The Dongying samurai uniform on his body had long since disappeared. On the contrary, the decent Xia Jun uniform added a bit of heroism to him.

After the Spring Festival, Amakusa Tokisada will go to the military academy to study.

The strength of Xia Jun has long made him yearn for it, and he is extremely eager to learn more knowledge in it, and lead the Shimabara Rebel Army even stronger.

He has already felt it.

Although those foreign daimyos on Kyushu Island have a harmonious relationship with the Shimabara Rebels, they will definitely turn their backs sooner or later.

The specific reason, in Yuan Shengshang's words, is that the Shimahara Rebel Army was formed entirely by civilians, so it should naturally protect the interests of the common people.

But those big names are feudal lords, and they naturally rely on the exploitation of ordinary people as their survival basis.

The contradictions between the two parties are irreconcilable.

Now that Xia Guo is on top, and there is a life-and-death enemy like the Tokugawa Shogunate, the two sides are in peace.

But sooner or later, conflicts will break out, maybe there will be a bloody battle.

Amakusa Tokisada can only learn more skills as soon as possible to strengthen herself in order to cope with future crises.

But at the moment, he and Yuan Shengshou must accept Zuo Xianmei's order, busy like dogs.

"Oh, look carefully, it's all crooked."

"Really, a big man is so clumsy that he can't even put up a Spring Festival couplet."

Amidst Zuo Xianmei's chattering complaints, the two men who stirred up the situation in Dongpu were sweating profusely, and at the same time they were very curious about the work they were doing.

"Sister, it's so interesting, it looks really festive."

Amakusa Tokisada has a talent for languages, and within a short period of time, she was able to communicate with everyone in Chinese.

Zuo Xianmei picked up the handkerchief and helped him wipe off his sweat.

"The Spring Festival is the biggest festival for us Han people. As the saying goes, the plan for a year lies in the spring. Only by celebrating the Spring Festival can you have a good year. The same goes for you. I wish you all the best in the new year."

Amakusa Shizumi's heart was warm and harmonious.

He lost his parents since he was a child, and was brought up by a group of warriors.Although he has learned a lot, he rarely feels the warmth of his family.

After coming to Prince Xia's mansion, the people in the mansion treated him very well, so that he finally recovered some of the nature that a young man should have.

Zuo Xianmei's face as bright as a bright moon, as well as her warm voice, all made him unable to extricate himself.

There is another big event approaching the Spring Festival, which requires a lot of big shots to go out together.

On the north side of Daming Lake, a tall, majestic and imposing church was officially completed.

This is a gift to all Catholics funded by the government of the Xia Kingdom.

When Deng Yuhan and others came to Shandong, they had already built a church.It's just that the conditions at that time were poor, and the church was not perfect enough.

Later, the kingdom of Xia grew stronger and richer, and with the arrival of Galileo and his daughter, building a symbolic church was put on the agenda.

Today, the church is finally completed.

Zuo Menggeng accompanied Xu Ruolin, Wang Siyi, and even Mrs. Huang to attend the inauguration ceremony of the church.

The Catholics in Shandong were all elated and gathered together.

Even Amakusa Tokisada, a Catholic in Japan, also integrated into it devoutly.
