380 Game Life

After Zhengde ascended the throne, the reforms of great fanfare finally began. In fact, Liu Jin had already made a reform before this, but that time it was a central official, and it was not discussed by the court officials at all. The content of the reforms was varied. How could it be controlled? Although there were only ten items this time, it directly pointed to the sharpest issues in the whole world: administration, tax system, land, military system and some academic systems.

Liu Jin was in power and held the power. Any opponents of his reforms were immediately arrested or dismissed from office in various names. This time it was issued by the cabinet. The six ministries were "initiatives" by the Kedao system. Yang Ling and the people in the cabinet repeatedly discussed it, improving the possible questions from a policy to plug loopholes. Each introduction of one detail explained the disadvantages of the old system, which parts of the new system were targeted, and why the opponents were not able to speak. Therefore, once the emperor approved, the policy was introduced very smoothly.

"The Ming Dynasty's Law on Investigation of Chaos", "The Ming Dynasty's Law on Recruiting Military", "The Ming Dynasty's Taxation Law", "The Ming Dynasty's Industrial and Commercial Law", "The Ming Dynasty's Immigration Law", "The Ming Dynasty's Implementation Law", and "The Officials' Law" were issued one by one. When the Ming Dynasty was using troops to suppress bandits, the northwest was suddenly injecting a clear spring into the old-fashioned dynasty.

There were not many knowledgeable people in the court, especially this refugee rebellion, which really became a powerful support for reform. The rebels gathered so many responders in a short period of time. The countless wealthy and wealthy families in the north not only destroyed their families, but also destroyed their families. The phenomenon of the court's financial difficulties awakened them from the illusion of a peaceful and prosperous era. These tragedies deeply touched them, and they also knew that public opinion should not be violated. It was time for the court to carry out some reforms.

Emperor Zhengde issued an order to re-examine the taxes and grains of the capital, Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other places. He also announced that those who reopened their business would give food, houses, and cattle to comfort the refugees, and immigrants to various preferential policies for immigrants to open up land and belong to their own, and that they would not pay money and grain within three years, etc. This has led to many normal families having thought about it.

Especially those with many children in the family, including many military families, because according to folk customs, the family property is inherited by the eldest son, and the rest of the sons can only make a living by themselves. While they are young, they have found a foundation outside the pass and own their own land and farms. Why not do it? What's more, these people have no worries and will return home if they fail. Therefore, many young people who are not the eldest son at home have signed up one after another, and immigrants from the three guards of the Northeast have begun to increase a large number of pioneers who do not bring their families. These people will become the main force of the regiment training troops.

The imperial court also carried out rectification. Jiao Fang was now headed in the cabinet, but Li Dongyang's courageous retreat greatly touched the old man Jiao Ge, who was able to retaliate in his later years. He took the initiative to ask for an order and inspect Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Shanxi and other places as an old man.

There are more than 300,000 refugees in these places who have been separated from their hometowns due to war. These people are hay that can be lit at any time. Although they are begging everywhere, there is no chaos, but as long as these people are not placed this winter, they have no place to live, have no clothes to wear, and have no food to eat, and rebellion will happen at any time.

Jiao Fang asked for an imperial edict, inspected the local area as an imperial envoy, urging local governments to reduce the price of grain stored in government warehouses, discounted the banknotes, and sold them to farmers. He also ordered the above local governments to organize Lijia and set up Xinjia in places with a large number of refugees to resettle the township capital on the spot to prevent them from continuing to roam.

In places where refugees are more scattered, they are placed in the original township household registration of nearby prefectures and counties, but they are newly established and managed. They are allocated to wastelands or land for retreat in the Yellow River, and also given oxen seeds to allow refugees to engage in production. Farmers have houses and land and have hope of survival. They will never tie their heads to their waist bags to rebel.

Yang Tinghe was the leader of the major affairs in the court, and he became the person who actually took charge of the government. This was also a subtle power adjustment, which won the full support of Yang Tinghe's faction. Yang Tinghe eliminated bad policies, reduced grain and taxes in poor areas, repatriated palace maids, released innocent prisoners, and investigated the amount of empty wages. These alone saved the court more than one million taels of wealth every year.

The gentry of Jiangnan took the opportunity to incite their interests to lower the taxes of Jiangnan. However, Yang Tinghe firmly refused. Jiangnan was the focus of Yangling's reform. Seeing that Yang Tinghe refused, these officials turned to Yangling and asked for Yangling. They couldn't help but say many slanderous words from Yang Tinghe, which also made the sufferings of the people of Jiangnan very unbearable.

Jiangnan is richest in the world, Yang Ling knows that the people in Jiangnan are richer than other places. He also knows this very well when Jiangnan goes to Jiangnan. Yang Tinghe's poor land is less leverage, and more leverages of rich land is similar to modern personal income adjustment tax. It is a very effective tax balance leverage, so Yang Ling is very supportive of him and sent all these lobbying officials back.

Although the two people had a bad personal relationship due to Yang Yiqing, they both put the overall situation first and tacitly cooperated with each other's actions. In fact, it is true that the people in Jiangnan have heavy taxes at present, but the reason is not the heavy taxes of the court, but the root cause is still the land annexation and the old tax system.

Land annexation itself is not a problem. If all land belongs to state ownership, is it considered a largest land annexation? Whether the land belongs to the state or the rich and gentry, he always has to find people to raid. Even if he really has the power to return all the land to farmers, so that everyone can have their own land. Whether farmers are managing their families and managing their finances, farming and doing business, their quality is also high and low. After hundreds of decades, the survival of the fittest will naturally be concentrated in the hands of a small number of people.

The problem is that the land annexers are all royal relatives and powerful families. Once they centrally occupy the land, they use their privileges to conceal land and evade taxes. The more land is annexed, the less taxes the imperial court will be paid. The royal relatives, the good ministers with titles, powerful eunuchs, and fame and gentry. They rely on their privileges to bribe the government, occupy household registration, conceal land and evade taxes, and evade service.

In this way, the tax on the court was all over the self-cultivated farmers. The original tax formulated by the court was the capitol tax. These unprivileged farmers did not have much land, but they paid more and more taxes, so they became poorer and poorer, and the land had to be pawned to the rich and became tenants. Therefore, the tax on the court was overdue.

The one-whip method, which spreads the stakes into the acres, solved this problem from the tax service system. It cracked down on the privileges of illegal gentry, and at the same time, based on the rich and poor in various places, the land was poor, and the official set the highest proportion of land rent, and did not allow them to excessively exploit farmers, which solved this problem.

The new land regulations of the court and the tax formulation clearly state the old system's shortcomings. Moreover, the new land tax law only re-incorporates the taxes stolen by the gentry into the court's treasury and cannot make any bad money. They are still rich. Therefore, they will not force them to the point of rebellion, nor will they dare to make a fuss about the new policy that the court unanimously agreed to implement. The writers of Kedao are staring at their eyes and waiting to catch their problems.

These people were so angry that they threw the fire on Yang Ling, the leader of the new policy, and kept filing memorials to attack him for violating the rules and taking charge of the court. Yang Ling was prepared for this, and Yang Ling immediately became "ill".

As soon as Yang Ling was "ill", he immediately submitted a memorial requesting the emperor to give him the order to preside over the bandit suppression and reform the government affairs, saying that he was suffering from a serious illness. He respectfully asked for rest and recuperate his illness, and the officials who attacked him were so angry that they stared at him. Then it was reported that Yang Ling was going to take a concubine, which made these people laugh and cry: Is he seriously ill? Is this sick?

But if you criticize me for interfering in the government affairs, I will go home to ask my wife for fun. What else can you do?

Yang Ling's rogue style of playing made these people really unable to think of a solution for the moment.

The current Emperor Zhengde is no longer in his hands than in the past. The inner court is firmly in control of his hands. The cabinet and the six ministries and Kedao all support the emperor's new policy, so he does not care about the opposition of a few officials.

Emperor Zhengde issued three edicts within three days, and the edict was not issued. Instead, he issued a formal edict from the cabinet, requiring Yang Ling to assist in the political affairs. Such edicts were copied in the residence newspaper for the ministers to see. Zhengde made a clear statement and told the people of the world: I support him!

According to some eunuchs in the inner court, the emperor was scolding people by these three edicts, but after Yang Ting and Run's pen, he was much more gentle.

Early in the morning of the first day, Du Fu, the eunuch of the Sili, came with the first imperial edict: "The system is corrupt, the national strength is weak, the army is corrupt, and the financial difficulties are all caused by officials' playful loopholes in the old government. Yang Ling is determined to make trouble, like a long drought, rain and dew, I rely deeply on it. Now the national affairs are very urgent, how can the Duke of the State give up his previous achievements when he is released? He is more loyal and responsible, and works with all his ministers, and not hindered by others."

Yang Ling received the order, thanked him and said politely.

Early the next morning, Du Fu came again with the second imperial edict: "Now the country is in trouble. We must make great efforts to help you and make a decision. How can you be willing to leave? The pillars of the country are my arms. The Duke of the State should not participate in politics. It is not the law of our Ming Dynasty. It is just a corruption that has been established. The auxiliary minister Yang Ling should take action quickly and not let my grace down."

All the royal relatives, ministers and ministers and ministers love to listen to this. Isn’t it that I will have the chance to show my face in the court in the future? Even because of the new reform policy, people who make less money in the land applaud. Of course, now Yangling has opened up shipping, and they have a great fortune and become the big winners of overseas trade. They have made huge profits and don’t care much about the little food they dig from the land.

Yang Ling received the order, thanked him, and continued to speak politely.

Early in the morning of the third day, Du Fu dragged the imperial edict to continue to appear: "The rumors are more important than the court's orders. What is the national law? The suppression of bandits is urgent, the reform is urgent, the civil affairs are urgent, and the national affairs are urgent, and Yang Ling will continue to take matters early. The nine ministers and ministers are not allowed to make any comments. If any slander is traitorous, the slander will be handed over to the slander office for investigation!"

Yang Ling received the order and thanked him, and replied to the emperor: "Your Majesty is so respectful, I am so grateful to you. When I am sick and sick, I will return to the court immediately and devote all my energy to the emperor's worries."

The emperor was very happy when he heard this. On the second day, the morning court was gone and he left the city to visit his loyal ministers to show his kindness.

When the officials in the court in questioned, they almost lost their noses when they found out that the Duke of Emotional Power took a concubine today: What is the difference between this and the civil and military officials who had to urge three times when the prince ascended the throne and became emperor? Isn’t this obviously a playful person?

They are playing with them, playing with the world, playing with the sound, color, horse, absurd play, and playing the great way, and being corrupt scholars and slutty officials. This is the masterpiece of the king and the minister.

The Yang family did not have a particularly grand dress. Although Yang Ling had a noble status, taking a concubine was just a concubine. Logically speaking, there was no need to be too extravagant. The emperor would just take a concubine from the corner gate to the palace and just lift it. It would be nothing big for the people to marry a wife. It would be too grand and make people laugh at it.

However, Yang Ling was having a Western-style wedding today. And the emperor also came to participate, which was a great honor.

It was not only the Yang Mansion that was glorious, but also the priests such as Jacobs also felt extremely glorious. This was the first time they presided over the wedding ceremony after the Ming Dynasty, so the church was decorated with fresh clothes and the priests all wore brand new robes.

The last time the church was completed, the emperor came to visit, which caused a great sensation in the capital. Now they have developed more than 2,000 believers. Although most of them are middle-aged and elderly women, their achievements this year are higher than those of them who used to beggars. Now that the emperor is here again, and the Duke of the Ming Dynasty is requesting the wedding, the influence will be far-reaching.

They have now reached out to the country, and even the pope has heard about their major progress in the East. The priests are forming groups to buy ships, absorb volunteers, and collect books on science, culture, and religion. They are preparing to send missionaries to Middle-earth on a larger scale.

Missionaries scattered in Japan, Luzon and other places came quickly through merchants who heard that their church members had developed in the Ming Dynasty. Because it was more difficult for them to preach in the local area than in the Ming Dynasty, and locals in Japan, Luzon and other places always like to regard the remarks of the ancient Chinese people and their views as authority when arguing.

Even the locals who were laughed at during their missionary were the same general words: "Even the people of the Ming Dynasty did not believe in your earthly gods, nor did they believe in your theories, so they used them to deceive people." The Ming Dynasty had such a profound cultural influence in the surrounding small countries, so they felt that it would be much easier to spread faith and doctrines in other places as long as they first broke through this stronghold.

Yang Ling also dared not underestimate their role. At that time, the Western churches always had the latest knowledge of Western culture, technology, etc. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi, Li Zhizao and Yang Tingyun, the "Three-Pillar of Catholic Stones" in China, received a lot of Western knowledge. They have made great achievements in mathematics, astronomy, calendar, military, measurement, agriculture and water conservancy.

Keeping close contact with them and often attracting some Western missionaries will bring many new Western knowledge and new concepts. Especially in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, they can be spread quickly and merge subtly, affecting the Ming Dynasty, which is nurturing new ideas, science and technology and culture.

For the sake of festiveness, there were no soldiers stationed outside the church, but there were many people celebrating. Most of these people were young men in their early twenties and burly figures. There was a sharp blade hidden in their arms. People often say that the inner three layers and the outer three layers are really divided into three layers. The innermost layer is the Great Inner Jinyiwei, the middle layer is the guards of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the outermost layer is the Dongchang Manzi. The emperor must be careful here.

The so-called guests were the only ones from the Yang family. At this moment, the Yang family was in chaos. Yang Ling said in a furious voice: "I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew that I shouldn't tell him. Look. Look, I have drawn pictures for him. Is this called a tuxedo? Swallowtail... I can't lift my tail up."

The wives and concubines laughed, and Tang Yixian said with a pretty face: "Cough cough, don't slander you. This is the most satisfying set of sixteen dresses that the emperor personally made. Look, wearing this hat again is like... a salt bat."

Yang Ling glared at her angrily and muttered, "I've said everything. The emperor doesn't need to organize the wedding. He just needs to be a companion. Cough! He insisted on taking charge of the matter and said that I would be satisfied. But now I'm showing it to me. I don't have to worry about changing it. Let's go, let's go, hurry up to the church."

Yang Ling walked out in a black dress, a tall and feathered hat, and a swallow's tail raised. Xue Limei covered her mouth and smiled: "Why do I think our master is not like a swallow, but like a weasel."

Han Youniang glared at her and couldn't help but smile.

Gao Wenxin said leisurely: "Women are like water, and there is water, there is fish, so women have a fishy smell. Then men are called stealing fish. A weasel wolf is more suitable than a swallow, and it is suitable for stealing fishy."

She secretly said fishy, ​​the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional, standing there gracefully, like slender branches, forming a chirping rhyme, and she couldn't help but blush. She glanced at her quickly, and saw Gao Wenxin talking and laughing while talking. It was not like sarcasm to herself, and she felt relieved in her heart.

There are no women who are not jealous. It is common for them to be jealous and jealous. The reason why the Yang family is harmonious with their wives and concubines is that Yang Ling treats all the same and hates the intrigues of the women in the family. The other is that they are smart enough to know that competing for favor and flattery will not only not win Yang Ling's favor, but will become the target of public criticism. Moreover, they like the current atmosphere, so they are trying their best to maintain the family's disagreement. Gao Wenxin really has no intention of sarcasm.

"Lucky! Fortunately, not many people visited. Otherwise, this image would have been lost." Yang Ling touched the majestic and hard tail specially fixed with iron wire, and ignored the snickers of the staff in the inner factory.

According to the marriage practice of Catholics in Spain, the wedding was organized by the woman's parents. It was afternoon when the wedding was held in the church, so Zhengde had just left the court and did not waste time. Today was a happy day. Yang Ling quickly ran away from the church in a scene where the serious spies were laughing happily. The priests couldn't help laughing when they saw the groom's appearance. However, the spy chiefs of the factory guards were scheming and could not help but pretended not to see it.

Zhengde, the best man, has a special status. So he didn't follow Yang Ling to Yang Mansion. He was standing on the stage and quarreling with Jacos, hoping that he would also serve as a priest. This was a bit ridiculous. Jacos smiled bitterly and shook his head desperately. Seeing Yang Ling come in, Zhengde immediately threw down Yabeis and ran over happily. He looked up and down. He praised: "Look, the clothes I have made for you. They fit. Well... But this thing worn by Westerners is really weird."

Yang Ling laughed dryly, wishing that the wedding would end immediately so that he could take off the deadly thing. He hurriedly asked, "Master, can the wedding begin?"

"Okay, let's start!" Emperor Zhengde was wearing a Chinese-style arrow-sleeved martial robe, with clear eyebrows and red lips. He was a handsome and handsome boy, more arrogant than Yang Ling, who had a high hat on his head and a Yan Ling. He hurried to a corner, picked up a knife and a shield and rushed back.

Yang Ling was stunned and said in surprise: "What is the intention of the emperor?"

Zhengde said solemnly: "According to Western customs, will there be evil dragons and devils snatching the brides? The bridesmaids are specifically responsible for confusing the devils, and the best man helps the groom to eliminate the demons from the side? I always feel that using the beauty trick will lose the face of a man. I should bear this responsibility on my shoulders. I cannot let the immortal take risks!"

Yang Ling was ridiculous and laughed. He looked up at Jacosi. Jacosi shook his shoulders and spread his hands to him and curled his lips and shook his head. He had no choice but to say that he was the emperor? This time, he would never be like this next time, otherwise when the Pope organized a large group of people to arrive in the Ming Dynasty, he saw that he had changed the customs and customs without realization...

He and Yang Ling looked at each other, feeling like they were not good at meeting someone for a moment...

The bride entered the church. It was unlucky for the bride to make her own dress, and she had to sew the last stitch before she left for the ceremony, so her dress was also taken care of by Emperor Zhengde.

Fortunately, the name of wedding dress does not have the name of tuxedo (bat) that allows him to fully utilize his imagination. The white dress made of high-quality silk yarn is always a bit similar to that of Westerners, and it is not ugly at all, and it is very beautiful.

With a fluffy hem and a slender waist, she was as holy as an angel with a bright yellow face covering on her face, flowers on her chest, and a flower crown on her head. Under the veil, she couldn't see Adni's appearance, and she walked slowly, step by step, very elegant and generous, Yang Ling was anxious.

Adni didn't dare to leave quickly. He should have worn an orange-yellow veil, thin and translucent, but Zhengde understood it as an oriental red veil. In order to show his grandeur, he also specially took a piece of bright yellow satin material specially used by the royal family and made Adni a yellow veil with octagonal ruby.

He originally wanted to wear eight pearls, but he heard from the priest that the pearls were the bride's tears, which was unlucky. So he found eight rubies to fall on them. Poor Adni couldn't see the authenticity in front of her. How dare she walk fast? She had to stare at her feet and rub step by step forward.

After a long marriage, a pair of little golden boys and jade girls were pulled by Tang Yixian in bright auspicious clothes, smiling beside Adni. Wu Hanchao and Song Xiaoai blushed. They tried hard to hold back their laughter and followed Adni, and kept throwing flowers on her head from the flower blue. They were originally the best and bridesmaids appointed by Yang Ling, but Zhengde pretended to be public and private, and insisted on robbing this business with Tang Yixian, and the two lost their jobs and became flower girls.

This unlucky couple met Emperor Zhengde, who was inconsistent with the unscrupulous Emperor. Both of them wanted to end the wedding early. The best man who was kind to do bad things felt that he was talented. After a brief statement, he made the wedding look like it.

He stood beside Yang Ling with a graceful spirit, holding a wooden shield with a tiger's mouth in his left hand and a shaky steel knife in his right hand. In Jacobs's somewhat out-of-tongued hymn, he admired his masterpieces created by himself.

As the priest, Jacob began to read: "Lord, we come to you. We will witness and bless the men and women entering the hall of divine marriage. According to the will of the Lord, the two of them are united and will live together forever. The earth will last forever. From then on, we will enjoy walking on the road of heaven, loving each other, helping each other, teaching each other, and trusting each other; the Heavenly Father blesses the family; the couple can enjoy the great grace; the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit will inspire you to respect the Savior; and praise it before the Lord forever."

Yang Ling's eyes were almost sore. He could not see his bride's appearance, so he had to give up completely and listen to the priest's instructions. "Ali Adni, do you want this man to become your husband and marry him? Whether it is disease, health, or any other reason, love him, take care of him, respect him, accept him, and be loyal to him forever until the end of his life?"

This sounded so familiar. Yang Ling couldn't help but look at Youniang. Youniang looked at him with a smile, with sweetness and bitterness in his eyes. Obviously, he remembered those bitter and difficult days at the same time.

“I am in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit…”.

"There are also holy angels", Emperor Zhengde hurriedly reminded him.

Holy Angel? What's the matter with Angel? Yang Ling was a little surprised. He looked up and saw Jacob grinning, as if he was about to cry. The priest said in a vague manner, and then raised his voice and said, "Announce you officially become a husband and wife, please bless the Lord, and the ring will represent your constraints."

"Ring! Prince, ring!"

"Hmm? Oh!" Emperor Zhengde stood there with his chest and belly sagging, calculating the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of wedding and Chinese wedding in order to take into account the details of his wedding. When he heard the priest reminding him, he woke up. He quickly threw away the knife and shield with a "clang" and touched it in his arms. He heard the "ding bell" sound, and a long list of gold rings were pulled out of his arms.

The people in the church were shocked by Emperor Zhengde's creativity again. Only then did Yang Ling understand why he added the blessing of the Holy Angel. It turned out that Westerners were married at that time, and pure gold rings were popular. Gold represented innocence, so diamonds were not used. The style used at that time was "double chain" or "three chains", which could be put together.

Originally, two are just for couples. The reason for three series is to represent the trinity of the Holy Spirit, the Father and the Son. The third ring will be given to a special person attending the wedding, such as a matchmaker or witness. Zhengde thinks this is not good. If you have something he or she or not, it is too unreasonable. Don’t everyone come to have a friendship?

So this guy created a large string of gold rings, which were heavy in his arms. Didn’t it mean that a ring should represent a god? Adding those big angels, wouldn’t the angels be enough?

Today, when there was such a master, Yang Ling, a wise and tricky figure, was no longer naughty, so he had to bite the bullet and take two of them from the long string of rings and exchange them with Adni. Zhengde and Tang Yixian began to distribute them to everyone with a smile, each with one, and they were not biased.

Yang Ling took the opportunity to take off Adni's veil. After careful dressing up, the bride was dazzling, like a delicious strawberry, bright and radiant, exuding a sexy atmosphere. Adni smiled sweetly at her groom, turned her eyes and smiled at Tang Yixian: "Yixian, continue!" As she said that, she raised her hand and threw the bouquet over.

Tang Yixian subconsciously caught the flowers, but did not understand the reason. Zhengde didn't understand this step. He thought that even if the ceremony was over after exchanging the ring, he hurried back to Yang Ling when he saw this. He whispered and said, "Look at you, just throw the flowers aside. Although she is your pampered sister, she can't be used now."

Yang Ling rolled his eyes and explained: "My emperor, this... this means that whoever receives the bouquet will be the next bride..."

"Why are you glaring? You're not saying you're going to be a bride for me?" Yang Ling moaned: "I mean the next girl who wants to get married and become a bride is a blessing to her. I also specifically instructed Adni to give it to Yixian. Emperor, I...I have a headache."

Zhengde suddenly realized and said happily: "So that's it, haha. OK, this is good. Oh... what about me? I have to give me something? She is going to be a bride, so can I not be a groom?"

Yang Ling was speechless and said that the flower balls were given to the bride, and the groom was given to him. He asked Adni casually and joked that he found out. At that time, suspenders had already appeared in the West, and noble men preferred to use suspenders than women. The suspenders they used were colorful, with exquisite lace on the socks. They were decorated with bows on the outside of their knees.

At the wedding, if the groom took off the bride's stockings, the person thrown into the house would be the next man to be blessed. Of course, Yang Ling would not say it out loud, just kidding! Even if the foreigners were used in China, they could not pass on all the dross in them. At that time, the European nobles got married, and the bride had to lie on the bed in underwear for the guests to kiss them. This was not possible.

Yang Ling shook his head, like a rattle: "No. No, no, men don't."

Zhengde said anxiously: "How could it be? Why don't there be men? Well! Why don't I ask Adnie."

"Okay, no, uh... I suddenly remembered it, haha!" Yang Ling laughed dryly, unbuttoned the buttons, and took off the top with the swallow's tail: "Your Majesty, you put on it. There is also a hat. The person who wears them is the next groom."

Zhengde was overjoyed. He immediately took it over and put the long coat on his body, then buckled the high hat on his head. Yang Ling finally let him down and let out a sigh of anger.

The ceremony was over and we were about to go back to the mansion to hold a banquet. The church and Yang Mansion were not far away, and we arrived on foot. The newlyweds walked side by side with the best man and bridesmaids following us.
Chapter completed!
