Chapter 37: Unexpected gift

When Zhang Ziqiang first came to this world, it was at the end of March 19725. He had been here for more than eight months, and he had been here for more than twenty days. He had moved and married together, and the time was a bit tight. However, the house in the new manor was ready-made, and both of them had married once again, so he didn't want to have a big fuss. Even buying a slave would take ten days to finish it.

At this moment, Amilia dragged Zhang Ziqiang to the Wangdu Marriage Department to register. Unfortunately, Gadev was on duty again. Although Gadev was very jealous of Zhang Ziqiang's marriage, he did not dare to make things difficult for them now. He himself was not even aristocrat. Now Amilia has just been rewarded by the king to Wangzhuang. It was not something he could do. He acted very happily and went through the procedures directly. In this world, marriage did not have a marriage certificate or something. He just needed to register in the Marriage Department.

After the two finished the procedures, they returned home. Dovers informed him early, and the servants changed their words and called Master. Zhang Ziqiang felt awkward. Am I very old? But the head of the family would not call him Young Master, so he just let him go. Karin still called him uncle. Amilia scolded him, but asked Zhang Ziqiang to protect him, while saying, "It's just a title to follow the child's wishes."

For the next ten days, Zhang Ziqiang still had a daily training with Kailin. Amilia took Xiao Cui out early in the morning and returned in the evening. Foss did not return home all day, and was probably busy with the matter in Zhangzhuang. On December 20th, all the hired workers went home for the New Year on holiday and came back on January 10th. The servants directed the slaves to be busy. Fortunately, the family was no longer as they used to rely on growing vegetables to make a living. Now some of the production of the manor here is for Zhangzhuang to use for their own use, and there is no need to sell it on the city shops. Tenants who rented the shops also needed these. They just supply them directly, and they could be busy.

That night, Amilia finished her practice and said to Zhang Ziqiang: "I sent an invitation today and moved on the 22nd. The nobles only sent one, which is Marshal Baru's Mansion. The others are all civilian merchants around the shop managed by Dovers before, plus the tenants who rented houses in Zhangzhuang. What do you think?"

Kailin fell asleep boredly, and Zhang Ziqiang said: "It's as much as you can. We live our family without having to worry too much about other people's opinions."

"It's mainly because I'm blamed. I didn't know many people before. I couldn't even invite anyone to do a wedding." Amilia said deflatedly.

"The life will get better and better." He said as he touched Amilia's beautiful hair with his hands. Amilia's eyes were blurred. She leaned over her mouth to kiss her, but she saw Karin staring at her with wide eyes, and couldn't help but say hatefully: "Sleep, sleep!" Karin said with a comprehension: "Oh..."

Look at how these two kids are holding them back!

On the blink of an eye, on the 22nd, Dovers called five carriages early in the morning and transported some daily necessities to Zhangzhuang. They usually called him Old Dovers. In fact, Dovers is not old. He is only seventy-three years old this year, but his son is also called Dovers. The familiar one is called him Old Dovers. Since his son and his family died in the war in Kuras City three years ago, Old Dovers has been hit. In addition, his qualifications are ordinary, but he is only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Period. So at first, Zhang Ziqiang thought he was very old. Today, Old Dovers is happy, and after dressing up, he looks much younger.

When Zhang Ziqiang and Amilia went out, he asked, "Have you picked up your mother here today? Where are your brothers and sisters? Have you noticed?"

Amilia explained: "I can't pick up my mother and the others today. Since I got married, even if I were from the Kaili family, I should marry from the Kaili family to be polite. However, after Kaili passed away, there was no one in his family, so no relatives came. If I pick up my mother and the others today, I would look down on Kaili."

After hearing what she said, Zhang Ziqiang said, he didn't say much. The customs of different regions of the earth are different, let alone different worlds? He decided to just follow the arrangements today.

When the car arrived at Zhangzhuang, a servant came up to greet him. Amilia each had a red envelope. Old Dovers directed the servants to move the things on the car into the inner garden. The drummers played lively, but no one set off firecrackers. I wonder if there were firecrackers in this world? If not, gunpowder was a big killer, but if you think about it, Zhang Ziqiang didn't know the formula of gunpowder.

The inner garden was placed on a flowing table, and the newly bought maids were busy placing tableware. Kailin was taken away by Old Dovers. Zhang Ziqiang and Amilia had just sat in the living room when they heard the host singing, but it was Zhangzhuang's rental owner who came to congratulate. Amilia took the gift list one by one, handed over to Xiao Cui beside her, and clasped her fists with Zhang Ziqiang to salute all the guests. Then a servant led her to the seat.

One after another, the civilian merchants around the old shops in the Wangdu civilian area also arrived. After presenting gifts, they sat down. Because they had a seat in Wangzhuang, civilian merchants had a rare opportunity to come in, so most of them came to congratulate themselves. Until eleven o'clock, Amilia thought that the guests were almost here today and was about to officially start the banquet, but suddenly she heard the emcee singing: "The Marshal's Mansion is here to congratulate!"

Amilia hurriedly pulled Zhang Ziqiang to stand up and go out to greet him, but Marshal Baru's ninth wife, Ama, arrived. As soon as Emma entered the door, she said, "Original lady was going to come in person, but suddenly she felt unwell, so she sent me here. Congratulations to the two of you for moving to your new home and getting married." This is a problem for others to congratulate you.

Amilia happily attracted Emma to sit down, and suddenly she heard the emcee sing: "The Randy family is here to congratulate you!"

"Huh!" Amilia wondered, thinking to herself: "I didn't send an invitation to the Randy family?"

When the visitors heard the Randy family, that was the Duke of Ellenda, they immediately discussed it. They all felt that the master's family had a lot of power, and even someone came to congratulate the Duke's Mansion.

Amilia didn't have time to think too much, so she went out to greet Zhang Ziqiang. Outside the door was Rendez Randy, the seventh-generation great-grandson of Duke Ellenda. Rendez is the head of the family business of the Randy family in recent years. She manages two auction houses in the inner city of the royal capital. Unexpectedly, he would come to congratulate him in person.

"Congratulations to you, you two, for your wedding today, why didn't you send me an invitation to my family? My ancestors ordered me to wait for congratulations, and the family took the liberty to send me here. I'm really embarrassed."

Zhang Ziqiang said, "How dare you disturb your mansion by this little thing at home? We are rude. Please please!"

"A distant relative is worse than a close neighbor. My family is next door to Guizhuang and I often walk around in the future."

"I will definitely come to the door to thank you later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he led Ren into the door, but heard the emcee's trembling voice: "Barl Carter brings His Majesty the King to congratulate him!!!"

All the visitors stood up with a "scan" sound. Zhang Ziqiang looked back and saw Baron Carter enter the door with joy. The four big words on the plaque were "A thousand years of good luck" and four small words "Carushe" next to it. He carried the plaque into the inner courtyard, and the guests were stunned.

Zhang Ziqiang and Amilia held a banquet. Except for Carter, none of the other guests today are nobles. Even Renn from the Duke's Mansion has not been awarded the title. How could he have thought that a civilian family would move together and His Majesty the King would send a gift, not to mention that this gift was written by His Majesty Carus! This can be used as a family heirloom.

There are many people who know Amilia among the visitors, but no one knows Zhang Ziqiang. The king cannot give Amilia a gift, so it can only be Zhang Ziqiang. Including Rennes, they are secretly guessing Zhang Ziqiang's background. Although this person is not a nobleman, there are many sources. No wonder the ancestors of the Randy family made such arrangements.

Entering the living room, Zhang Ziqiang personally hung the plaque in the hall. Carter signaled Zhang Ziqiang to enter the inner room alone, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Ziqiang respectfully, saying: "This is the letter that Lord Bryce, the head of the palace's internal affairs, asked me to pass it on to you. Please reply after reading it now. Lord is waiting for me to reply."

When Zhang Ziqiang opened the letter, he saw it. It was King Carus's handwritten letter. It turned out that King Carus's favorite granddaughter was eight years old this year. He was the same age as Ellenda, the ninth-generation great-grandson. He was childhood sweethearted and had a very good relationship and was very smart, but he just didn't have the patience to calm down and recognize words. Since Amilia presented the pinyin, in just half a month, the two little kids were out of normalcy and had a strong interest in learning. He could recognize one or two hundred words by himself by looking at the pinyin.

After learning about this, His Majesty Carus invited Ellenda to the palace. The two of them also learned the pinyin all day long. They felt that this pinyin was very helpful to the children. Both of them thought that Zhang Ziqiang was a talented person. The Bryce manager next to him talked about Zhang Ziqiang's wedding today, which led to the congratulations from the Randy family and His Majesty Carus.

His Majesty is still watching the letter. Before the kingdom introduces the pinyin, you must pay attention to confidentiality. For other countries, there is no printing technology. You must start preparing after the kingdom promotes the pinyin, at least three to four years ahead.

Zhang Ziqiang said to Carter: "Please reply to the General Manager, and I said I've written it down. Please don't worry, the General Manager."

Carter turned around and took out a gift list from his arms and said, "It won't be respectful if you are careful!"

Zhang Ziqiang took it and saw that it was Carter who took this opportunity to return the two thousand gold coins he had greedy that day. It was probably because Carter saw that Zhang Ziqiang was so favored that he did not dare to greed for the gold coins.

Zhang Ziqiang smiled and said, "Thank you!" But he called Dovers and ordered a thousand gold coins to return in front of Carter. Carter was extremely grateful and felt that this person could be a good person and was valued by His Majesty. He would be a great man in the future and would have to have more contact on weekdays. He thought so in his heart, because the palace manager was still waiting for him to reply, and did not leave a seat, so he said goodbye politely.

After the Chinese food was lively, the guests dispersed and returned gifts and other etiquette matters. Old Dovers handled them in an orderly manner. According to the world, even if the marriage was completed, there was no custom of getting married in the wedding chamber. It was simple to finish the first meal.
