A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

On the second day after Lu Cheng and the girls arrived at Jinling Mansion, Lin Ruhai also came to Jinling Mansion and reunited with Daiyu and her daughter.

In fact, although Daiyu had already moved into the Kunning Palace in the Jinling Imperial City in advance, she and Lu Cheng had not yet officially held their wedding.

Of course, Jinling City is currently Lu Cheng's own territory, and no one dares to say anything even if it is against etiquette.

However, as an old father, Lin Ruhai certainly still hopes that his daughter can marry in a grand manner and have a grand wedding. Lu Cheng certainly will not ignore the importance of the ceremony.

"Shou Xin, you and Yu Er have reached the age of marriage, and it's time for you to hold your wedding. What do you think of this wedding? What specifications should it be held according to?"

"At present, the world is not settled, so it is not appropriate to hold the ceremony of the Son of Heaven. Then we can hold it with the ceremony of the princes. As for this date, it is less than half a month away from the New Year, so it is a bit too late. Why not wait until the beginning of next spring, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and then hold the three letters and six ceremonies, and let Junior Sister marry in a grand manner, okay?"

"Okay, it's up to you."

"Teacher, you should make the arrangements. Jinling City is still in need of a Minister of Rites. Would you be willing to condescend to do so?"

"This... I have no experience in the Ministry of Rites. I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this position."

"It doesn't matter. Jinling's original Ministry of Rites officials are still here. I can transfer them all to the teacher's management."

"Then... I'll take it."

After setting the wedding date, Lu Cheng asked his men to cooperate with Lin Ruhai to prepare for the wedding next year.

In order to comply with etiquette, Lin Daiyu had to leave the palace temporarily and live with her father in a house in Jinling City.

The wedding matters will be taken care of by the people below, so Lu Cheng himself doesn't have to worry about it.

Recently, Lu Cheng has been busy expanding and reorganizing the army.

Originally, Lu Cheng started out as a gang member, and after gradually growing stronger, he expanded the gang into an army. Now that he has occupied half of the country, everything naturally has to become more formal.

In this regard, Lu Cheng had already accumulated the most abundant experience and directly put some of his previous mature arrangements into use.

The troops under his command were divided into field armies and local garrison armies. The field armies were still composed of the four armies of Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, Suzaku and White Tiger. Each army had six battalions and twenty-four guards. Each guard had five thousand men, a battalion had twenty thousand men, and an army had twelve thousand men, totaling a total of 480,000 field armies.

The original Flying Eagle Gang was reorganized into the Flying Eagle Guard, which became a personal army and intelligence organization similar to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the local garrison troops, they are deployed according to the actual conditions of each state, with defense as the main focus.

Previously, Lu Cheng relied on his personal leadership ability and skills such as "hypnosis" to firmly control the middle and high-level generals in his army, thereby ensuring control over the entire army.

In addition, most of the subsequent military generals came from military academies and Chongwen Halls in various places. In the process of learning civil and military knowledge, they received strict ideological and loyalty education.

Therefore, although Lu Cheng was not in the army, he still maintained sufficient control.

It can be said that although the soldiers below have not seen Lu Cheng himself very often, it does not prevent them from obeying the orders of their superiors, fighting for Lu Cheng, and fighting to protect their own families and happiness.

However, now that Lu Cheng has come to Jinling, he naturally wants to let the soldiers know why Lu Cheng is their general.

As the end of the year was approaching, while reorganizing the army, Lu Cheng also mobilized a large amount of supplies and prepared a generous New Year's gift for the soldiers under his command, including silver, real food, chickens, ducks, fish, meat, cloth and other supplies.

In order to ensure that all the silver and supplies were distributed to every low-level soldier, Lu Cheng sent out the Flying Eagle Guards to strictly supervise, and personally took people to visit everywhere to watch the distribution of silver and supplies to each camp and guard.

Not only in Nanjing, but also the front-line troops that had just captured Yangzhou Prefecture, the front-line troops that were attacking the southwest, and the troops stationed in various prefectures. Every soldier received an additional 3 months to 1 year's salary plus a lot of supplies based on his rank.

At the same time, Lu Cheng also selected some outstanding generals and soldiers from each camp and guard, personally met and commended them, and awarded them honorary medals and gold and silver rewards.

For those who have made outstanding contributions, monuments will be erected and biographies written for them to bring honor to their hometown.

In this way, both material and spiritual rewards are used simultaneously, and the loyalty of the grassroots soldiers is greatly improved.

Moreover, Lu Cheng also appropriately participated in the training of each camp, appropriately demonstrated his powerful military force, and further established his image.

Even during the New Year, Lu Cheng stayed in the military camp and spent the New Year with many ordinary soldiers.

After this whole set of operations, the soldiers not only knew who they were fighting for, but also understood why Lu Cheng could become their general.

He was busy like this until March, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom and the wedding date was approaching. Only then did Lu Cheng end his inspection work and return to Jinling City.

What followed was a grand wedding.

Then the peach blossoms bloomed, and the city of Jinling was decorated with lights and red wedding ceremonies for ten miles, and the most grand wedding was held in a lively manner.

Lu Cheng even specially had people book all the restaurants in the city to hold a grand banquet for all the people in the city. Except for the necessary soldiers guarding the city, all other soldiers also participated in this grand wedding.

After a tedious process, Lu Cheng and Daiyu's wedding finally ended successfully.

In Kunning Palace, Daiyu and Lu Cheng sat on the bed hand in hand, looking into each other's eyes, recalling every detail of their acquaintance, from growing up together in Yangzhou Prefecture, as childhood sweethearts, to the peaceful years in Kyoto, and now to their happy marriage.

Daiyu looked up at Lu Cheng opposite her, and felt that everything seemed just like yesterday. She couldn't help but say, "Master...husband, I always feel like this is all a dream."

"Madam said it was a dream, so it was a dream, a Dream of the Red Chamber. I heard that you won't feel pain when you dream, shall we try it?"

"How do you try? Pinch me?"

"I can't bear to do that. We can try something else. Come, let me undress you..."

After a long while, Daiyu frowned slightly: "My husband lied to me, this is not a dream..."

"Why not? A wet dream is also a dream..."

Zijuan, who was guarding outside, heard the voices from inside and her eyes curved. She turned around and saw Xueyan, Jinchuan and Yuchuan trying to peek inside. She immediately pulled them back and said, "Don't disturb us..."

On the third day after the wedding, Lu Cheng took Daiyu back to visit his parents and meet Lin Ruhai in accordance with folk customs.

At this time, Lin Ruhai was already the Minister of Rites of Jinling Prefecture, and in the future he would certainly be the Minister of Rites of the new dynasty, or even a higher position.

When good things happen, people feel refreshed. Lin Ruhai also seemed to have become a lot younger...
