During these days in Fufeng County, everyone's face is filled with a festive smile.
The topics of conversation among the neighbors also turned to Ma Chao's wedding.
As early as a few days ago, the civil servants and generals in Fufeng County immediately started planning the wedding ceremony.
Aunt Liu is naturally the main figure.
According to her, Ma Chao is a good candidate for marrying late.
In the Han Dynasty, those who married at the age of seventeen were already married late. , but fortunately, he married three daughters-in-law, so he did not embarrass the Ma family, so he naturally had to take care of himself.
As for Ma Chao, it's all up to Aunt Liu.
After all, Ma Teng's death and Yun'er's death were a big blow to Aunt Liu.
Now there is something that can occupy her heart and stop her from wallowing in sadness.
In remembrance of him, Ma Changshan raised his hands to support him.
Especially recently, Ma Chao feels that he is considered a wealthy person, and he naturally feels much more comfortable spending money.
Ma Chao's wedding did not use a single penny of Fufeng County's income.
Even the gold, silver and jewelry that Ma Chao brought back from Fuwu were all deposited in the Ministry of Household Affairs: all the expenses for his wedding were his own money.
Nowadays, if you ask anyone from Fufeng County who is the richest in Fufeng, it is no surprise that they will answer Ma Chao.
Although Ma Chao tried his best to suppress the wealthy landowners who annexed land, he spared no effort to cultivate some wealthy households under certain regulations.
Among them, the one who stands at the forefront, hey, even if Ma Chao has no intention of supporting it, there is no doubt that it is the Ma family.
When he joined Fufeng, Ma Chao was a man of action.
Now his farm, ranch, arsenal and medical shop are all on track.
Especially in the Han-Qiang Trading Exchange, the Ma family is still the absolute shareholder.
In the first year, the Ma family had been supporting Yongzhou.
But this year, Yongzhou has gradually improved.
It is normal for Ma Chao to spend a few dollars to organize a wedding.
These days, it is often before dawn, and Aunt Liu sends several groups of servants out to go shopping.
Although many shops are not open yet, it is not usual for Yongzhou Mu's wedding to happen in groups.
Accompanied by the Ma family's personal guards, they knocked on the door of the shop and explained their purpose to the sleepy-eyed shop owners.
Originally, Ma Chao had high prestige in Yongzhou and was respected by everyone.
When these bosses heard that Ma Chao was getting married, they sent people out to buy it, and no one complained.
Therefore, after these several sweeps, the news of Ma Chao's wedding gradually spread.
All the people in Fufeng County are speculating on which day Aunt Liu will choose as an auspicious day.
During these days, the Zhenxi General's Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations.
All the guards had put on brand-new straight military uniforms, and the full set of ceremonial equipment had also been taken out.
There was a lot of activity outside the banquet hall, with servants running back and forth.
In the first few days, Ma Chao felt it was a bit strange, but after seeing too much, he just let it go.
At this moment, he was even more embarrassed and was kicked out by Aunt Liu again.
The reason was exactly the same as before.
It was said that it was unlucky not to see the bride before the wedding.
In addition, he felt that he had lost the dignity of the head of the family by helping, so he was not even allowed to have a private meeting with his wife under the guise of helping.
Ma Chao simply accepted Aunt Liu's stubbornness: not only did he meet these three wives before they got married.
In fact, two of them even took care of things as husband and wife.
If he had really followed Aunt Liu's words about not meeting each other before marriage and moving like Shang Shang's prophecy, then Ma Chao really felt that Shen Xing and Shang Xing were a pair of good friends who had been wronged to the extreme.
On the way out, Ma Chao kept thinking whether he was a little too slack.
Since he wanted to launch the three-province and six-part system, he almost only wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
Now that the imperial examination has taken place, there is no doubt that the Ma family will be able to make a fortune and bring back talents.
And as a result, will it make my affairs more complicated or will I have more leisure time?
While walking around, he saw that the people in Fufeng were talking about his wedding.

Ma Chao felt that he had thought too much: We will talk about the future later.
The most important thing for him to do now is to be his official groom. , it is only right to train Cai Yan, who has not yet had a future.
After that, Ma Chao rode Xiao Hei to a notice.
Looking at the imperial examination notice and the students in the outer circle, he couldn't help but stop and want to see how he was doing.
And when Ma Chao saw a student with tears in his eyes, looking at the notice carefully and confirming that the results were correct and then crying to the sky, he felt that it was a little late for him to take the imperial examination: he should have done it earlier.
To give these poor men a hope and a way out Through this scene, Ma Chao can be sure that the impact of Yongzhou's imperial examination on the Han states was like water dripping into a boiling oil pan, causing the Han states to explode and boil immediately.
Those common people who have no background and no sense of success may have been waiting for a long time.
Some of them are bold and impatient, and they probably don't want to think too much about it.
But after hearing the news that Ma Jiake from Yongzhou recommended himself to take the exam, they might just pack their bags and embark on the journey to Fufeng.
These scholars may not necessarily be talented, but they are masters with lively minds and tough personalities.
For example, the person in front of me, Ma Chao saw with his own eyes, was still wearing silk and linen straw sandals in this early winter season, and his feet had been worn out by running around all the way.
Those frostbites and coagulated black blood had already told Ma Chao this It was how much hope he had that brought him here.
And when he kept repeating the sentence on the list of scholars from all over the world, regardless of age or origin, there is no need to recommend sixteen words, he cried to the sky, how sad and excited he was From this, Ma Chao dismounted his horse and came forward, bowed to the man and asked, "May I ask why you are crying, sir?"
"Oh, the scholar who came to take part in the imperial examination in Xanai saw that there was no need for recommendation on the notice.
He was in a wild mood and made the young master laugh."
The man saw Ma Chao coming to answer and quickly calmed down.
In his own mood, he even patted the ragged and thin cloth on his body, bowed and replied.
Ma Chao was stunned.
From his actions and behavior, he could tell that the man in front of him must have had a good etiquette education.
Feeling strange in his heart, he asked again: "Why did Sir become so emotional after reading these four words alone?"
"Looking at the young master's bright clothes and extraordinary appearance, he must be from a wealthy family.
From this, the young master does not know how difficult it is for a humble scholar from the common people in the Han Dynasty to become an official.
If there are no famous scholars in the world to recommend him, it will be difficult for him to be a poor scholar.
Go to the elegant hall of Yongzhou Majiajia.
The master, Ma Chao, personally took the imperial examination to select scholars.
Although he only recommended capable men, if my guess is correct, he would never recommend anyone after the imperial examination."
The man saw that Ma Chao was extraordinary and polite, so he was naturally willing to work with him.
Ma Chao says a few more words.
But Ma Chao couldn't help but trembled in his heart this time, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Sir, why did you say this?
Ma Chao spent so much time but didn't recommend anyone.
Is it because he is full?"
"?"
Ma Chao said this very carefully.
After all, in Fufeng today, if you speak ill of Ma Chao, even if you are not arrested by the officials, you will be beaten to the point of being unable to take care of yourself by the people who appreciate Ma Chao's kindness.
But even though the words were carefully spoken, they were still heard.
Behind the man, after Ma Chao said the word "full," a timid girl's voice came: "Brother, I'm hungry again."
At this time, Ma Chao saw that there was a little girl behind him who was so hungry that his face turned pale.
The little girl was wearing some thick clothes that obviously didn't fit her body.
Although she was shivering a little from the cold, she didn't suffer any frostbite.
It seemed that she was well taken care of by her brother along the way.
Seeing this, Ma Chao couldn't help but said: "If you don't mind it, sir, I hope you can eat some food with me and chat while eating." s: This time, it was my embarrassing friend comrade, who is also a famous sword in the Xiliang Army today: Yu'er's sword rushed to the position of leader within a few days after I first recognized it, which shows that it is sharp and unrivaled.
Well, good friends, let’s go together:
