On March 19, Huo Jinxiu married into the Xie family with ten miles of red makeup, and the wedding was very grand, and most of the capital was a sensation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Xie family is worthy of being the richest man in Daqi, and the banquet they purchased is extremely luxurious, and the magnates in Beijing have seen a lot of the market, and they are also shocked by the Xie family's generosity.

In the huge Xie family garden, the rich peony bloomed a few months in advance, dozens of precious varieties were placed in the courtyard so casually, and the gorgeous flowers were next to each other, or red, or pink, or yellow, or blue, and the purple and red were like an intoxicating sea of flowers.

At the banquet, all the dishes that the world can think of, as well as the delicacies that many people have never seen before, are laid out, and the craftsmanship of the Xie family's chefs is not much better than that of the imperial chefs in the palace.

All the major opera troupes in Beijing were invited, and the stage specially built on the water pavilion was extremely gorgeous, and the gentle voices of the actors and servants floated on the water, and the guests sitting on the high platform listened to it as if they were fascinated.

Xie Xiangnan's new house is located on the west road of the Xie family's mansion, and the courtyard of Sanjin is full of delicacy and elegance in every brick and tile, stone and grass.

There is a water of golden silk Qinan furniture in the house, and the exquisite porcelain of the previous dynasty is placed on the Baibao Pavilion, even if it is a random pair of curtains, it is also a valuable tribute.

The Xie family's various kinds are dazzling, luxurious but not vulgar, without the outbreak and publicity of those salt merchants.

The visitors nodded secretly when they saw it, yes, the Xie family is not an ordinary businessman, but they are 'rich and noble'.

After seeing the groom Xie Xiangnan, many people couldn't help but admire: what a young man with a Zhilan Yushu and a handsome god.

The young man is good-looking, has a good temperament, and shows a good upbringing, where is the merchant, saying that he is a son of a century-old family, and some people believe it.

Some guests who had sighed Huo Jinxiu's grievances looked at it, and they could no longer look down on Xie Xiangnan, but felt that Huo Jinxiu and Xie Xiangnan were a match made in heaven.

The whole wedding banquet was attended by Qi Jinzhi from beginning to end, and there were some noble children of the same age sitting at the same table.

When he was young, Qi Jinzhi also played with them, and later he followed his father to the southwest camp to practice, and gradually became estranged.

I haven't seen each other for a few years, but everyone has changed a lot.

Especially in the past few years, there have been constant turmoil in Beijing, and in just three or four years, there have been two princes who have rebelled, and more than one or two families have been implicated.

Some nobles were directly robbed of their homes by saints, some were punished by the clan, and some were demoted and dismissed. After the two major purges, there are not many 'old days' who can still come to the Xie family's wedding banquet with all beards and tails and dignity.

When the old family declines or dies out, a new aristocracy rises to the top.

Qi Jinzhi found that in addition to the only remaining old friends, there were also a few bright-eyed faces during the banquet.

"This is the uncle of the Qi family, right? The younger brother Xiao Gang, who just returned to Beijing with his father from the southeast this year, met for the first time, and asked Brother Qi to give him more advice. ”

The person who spoke was a young man in his twenties, his appearance was rare and handsome, his face was fair, and his temperament was clean, which made people can't help but feel good at first glance.

The best thing is that he was born well, and his body is thin, but there is no trace of fat powder, no matter who looks at it, he will not be able to distinguish between male and female, but will praise him sincerely: What a jade-faced and pretty man.

His voice is also good, not as youthful and clear as a young man, but slightly low and magnetic, and when you hear it, you can't help but feel that your heart will tremble lightly.

Gu Jialuo was not present, otherwise she would have given an apt word to describe the young man's voice - 'subwoofer'.

"In the next Qi Jinzhi, Xiao Gongzi is too polite, you and I have a fateful acquaintance, and we can't talk about teaching, so let's learn from each other."

The ancient style of Daqi prevailed, and people in the world liked beautiful postures. To put it bluntly, it is to like people who look good and have a good temperament, regardless of gender.

Qi Jinzhi was also vulgar, and he had a good impression of a beautiful young man with a pure temperament like Xiao Gang, and asked with a smile: "What is Xiao Gongzi's mansion?" ”

His brain had already begun to search for the number of officials surnamed Xiao in Beijing, especially the upstarts who had just been transferred to the capital.

Suddenly, a name was locked by him - Xiao Daozong, the former commander of the East China Sea Shipping Division, once served in the southeast battalion, and was a fierce general raised by Wei Guogong. At the beginning of this year, he was transferred to the capital and served as a squire in the military department.

"My father's surname is Xiao Mingdaozong, and he is the new squire of the military department." Xiao Gang straightened his waist and couldn't help but use a respectful tone when he mentioned his father.

Qi Jinzhi had already guessed Xiao Gang's origin, but he still pretended to be surprised and said: "It is actually the son of General Xiao's mansion, counting it, we are also world friends." ”

Qi Jinzhi didn't mean to cling to Xiao Daozong, there was a reason why he said that.

Xiao Daozong's father was a grassroots, and in the early years, he was a big soldier in a thousand households in the southwest, and he fought with Qi Lingxian first.

Later, because of his brave battles, he made military exploits one after another, and was promoted all the way to a thousand households, and was finally discovered by the first emperor and transferred back to the capital to enter the governor's mansion of the five armies.

Father Xiao was very grateful for Qi Lingxian's promotion, even though he was twenty years older than Qi Lingxian, he still respected Qi Lingxian very much.

At that time, the relationship between the Xiao family and the Qi family was not bad.

But with the death of Xiao's father, Xiao Daozong was transferred to the southeast camp for training, and the relationship between the two families gradually faded.

However, after careful calculation, the Xiao and Qi families are indeed world friends.

Qi Jinzhi said this, quite a bit of goodwill.

Xiao Gang is a thoughtful person, so he naturally heard the meaning of Qi Jinzhi's words, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, my younger brother has heard his father talk about the Qi family since he was a child, and he often said that the Xiao family can have today, thank you for the support of Master Qi." I have to see Brother Qi today, uh, I, can I call you that? ”

Two blush flew on Xiao Gang's pale face, and with the shyness unique to young people, he asked embarrassedly.

Qi Jinzhi's smile became brighter and brighter, "Of course you can, you have said that it is a world friend, and that is your own brother." When the wedding banquet is over, our brothers will change places to talk, okay? ”

"Okay, good, that's what my little brother means. Brother Qi is a young man in Beijing, and the younger brother has admired him for a long time, and it is really an honor for the younger brother to be able to talk with the eldest brother today. ”

Xiao Gang was excited, and his good-looking big eyes were shining, which caused people in the same seat to look sideways.

The Xie family's wedding banquet was over, and in the evening, Qi Jinzhi harvested a new little brother, and when the two came out of the restaurant, Qi Jinzhi was already able to pat Xiao Gang's shoulder and affectionately call him 'Sizheng little brother'.

“…… Don't worry, eldest brother, younger brother will definitely go to the house to say hello to his uncle and aunt! ”

With a little drunkenness, Xiao Gang waved vigorously towards Qi Jinzhi's back.

Qi Jinzhi didn't look back, only waved his right hand.

As the night grew darker, the moon climbed into the sky, and a dark cloud drifted over, quietly obscuring a small half of the moonlight......
