Qizhou Thorn Mansion.

At this moment, it can be said that this place is full of guests, and it is very lively, Wang Ren is the assassin of Qizhou, plus the eldest son of the Taiyuan Wang family, he is married, and who dares not to come to the officials in Qizhou officialdom?

Not only the officialdom, but also the wealthy businessmen and gentry in Qizhou who have heads and faces want to participate in this wedding banquet, after all, Wang Renbiao is the "boss" of Qizhou's territory, and Wang Yu and Princess Tong'an, the two heavyweights, are also in Qizhou.

So even if many people can't get the invitation, they also lick their faces and come over to send congratulatory gifts, wanting to be familiar in front of Wang Renbiao, Wang Yu, and Princess Tong'an.

However, the Wang family, as a family in the previous year, naturally did not lack money, so in terms of congratulatory gifts, those guests who had nothing to do with the Wang family's eight poles would not receive their congratulatory gifts! If you come to celebrate Wang Renbiao's wedding, then welcome, you can eat as much as you like on the flowing water table outside the Assassin's Mansion, but you want to take this opportunity to bribe Wang Renbiao with a heavy gift, then I'm sorry, this congratulatory gift is not accepted by the Wang family!

This rule is set by Wang Yu, and now the family is in turmoil, the five surnames and seven hopes have gone to the third, and there are only four of the seven families left, including a Li Tang royal family, and now Wang Renbiao and Wang Yu are both court officials, in terms of style, Wang Yu is quite cautious! In his opinion, the Wang family has the background of the previous year, how could they have been short of money? There's no need to let the royal historians grab their handle for this little profit!

You must know that since the fall of the Cui family and the Zheng family, the imperial historians in the court now are particularly fond of collecting about the evil deeds of the children of the family, in order to prove their uprightness and noble character! Wang Yu will never make a low-level mistake in this matter!

And his decision, Wang Renbiao is also very supportive! Wang Renbiao is the assassin of Qizhou, he naturally does not want his county officials to send expensive gifts because of his big wedding, the land of Qizhou is not rich, and most of the officials can only live on the income of the imperial court (except for corrupt officials, of course), in this case, how can Wang Renbiao be willing to ask for their congratulatory gifts? And it's also easy to form a wind of comparison!

Therefore, when he sent people to distribute invitations to the officials in various counties of Qizhou, Wang Renbiao asked his subordinates to clearly inform them that people could come, but no congratulatory gifts would be accepted!

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the rule of officials in various places was still relatively clear, and it cannot be said that there were no corrupt officials, but the proportion of corrupt officials was absolutely very small, and most officials were still relatively honest. Prior to this, many officials were worried when they knew that Wang Renbiao was about to get married, because Wang Renbiao was not only the assassin of Qizhou, but also the eldest son of the Taiyuan Wang family. But if this congratulatory gift is too valuable, your money bag will not allow it! It's a dilemma!

Therefore, Wang Renbiao's move can be regarded as a relief for most officials in Qizhou!

Not only that, but the people are also full of praise for the marriage between Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu, because today there are thousands of tables of flowing water seats on the street outside the Assassin's Mansion, and this flowing water seat will be placed for three days, during which all the people can come to eat for free.

This is Wang Renbiao's handiwork!

When Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi got married last year, they invited almost all the people of Chang'an City to eat "gnawing chicken" (of course, there was a prerequisite at that time, that is, everyone had to bring a bouquet of flowers before they went), and now that Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu are married, Wang Renbiao naturally wants to have a lively and lively event, because Li Jingchu has suffered too much for him, and he wants to compensate her!

"The bride has arrived! The bride has arrived! ”

At three o'clock, the welcoming team finally returned, and the crowd outside the Assassin's Mansion took the initiative to get out of the way, Wang Renbiao turned over and dismounted, and led Li Jingchu out of the carriage. Looking at the newcomers, the onlookers and the guests in the Assassin's Mansion couldn't help but admire:

"Wang Tingshi is young and handsome, this Miss Li family is beautiful, but she is a match made in heaven!"

"Who's to say it isn't? The bride and groom are such a good match! ”

"This Miss Li is from our Yongxian County, and this is to add glory to our Yongxian County!"

"Maybe Wang Tingshi will stay in Qizhou because of this, and the people of Qizhou will also be blessed!"

"Haha! That's right, that's right! ”

There are those who praise and bless from the heart, and naturally there are those who say cool words, but these people who say cool words only dare to whisper in the small face:

"But I heard that this Li family is just a family of merchants, and Wang Tingshi was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, isn't this a bit wrong!"

"Yes! It is said that this time, the head of the Wang family and Princess Tong'an came from Suizhou thousands of miles away to break up their pair! ”

"Then why are they still together now?"

"You don't know that, do you? It is said that ah......"

In the face of these gossips in private, Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu were too lazy to listen to it, and they both knew that it was not easy for them to come together now, and naturally they would not add to their troubles because of the opinions of others!

Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu held a red silk together, stepped on the red carpet, and walked into the Thorn History Mansion.

In the courtyard, the master of ceremonies sang and said: "The jade phoenix raises its feet to the pot fire, and the fierce gods hide on both sides." Happy to land from the sky to the blessed nest, a good day is prosperous! The newcomer crosses the brazier—"

"A piece of sandalwood, carved into a jade saddle, the newcomer stepped over, step by step to keep safe. The newcomer straddles the saddle—"

"There is food and clothing, and one generation is better than the next. The newcomer crosses the rice bag—"

At this time, taking advantage of the opportunity for the newlyweds to enter the house, the long history of the Assassin's Mansion also began to sing congratulatory gifts, which are also an indispensable part of the wedding, one is to show the connections in the man's family, and the other is also a kind of respect for the guests who come to send congratulatory gifts!

Previously, Wang Yu and Wang Renbiao did ask the officials and ordinary people in Qizhou who came to the banquet today not to bring congratulatory gifts, but that was because the relationship between those people and the Wang family had not yet reached that point, even if they were congratulatory gifts, they did not come to sincerely congratulate Wang Renbiao on his new marriage, but to curry favor with Wang Renbiao and cling to the Wang family! But this doesn't mean that the Assassin's Mansion won't accept congratulatory gifts today!

For those who have a closer relationship with the Wang family or Wang Renbiao, their congratulatory gifts still have to be received, after all, this is a proper exchange of gifts between friends and acquaintances! If you don't accept it, it will seem unkind!

I saw Changshi at the door holding a long list of gifts and singing loudly:

"Liu Wenchang, the assassin of Xiangzhou, came to congratulate and sent 400,000 yuan, a pair of red gold inlaid treasure buckles, a pair of white jade mandarin duck buckles, and a golden hairpin of double luan title Shouguo~!"

"Sui County ordered Zhang Wenfang to congratulate and send 100,000 yuan, a jade Buddha, a pair of gold cups, and six silver collars~!"

"Xiangyang County ordered Deng Guangcai to congratulate and send 100,000 yuan, a pair of white jade mandarin duck buckles, and a jade Buddha~!"

"Mr. Zhang Jing, a scholar from Suizhou Mansion, came to congratulate and sent 30,000 yuan, a copy of the four treasures of the superior scholar's room, and a copy of the calligraphy saint Wang Youjun Mobao~!"

"Mr. He Wenqing, a scholar in Xiangzhou Mansion, came to congratulate and sent 30,000 yuan, and a copy of the rubbing~!"

("Qin Chopping Picture" is made by Gu Kaizhi, a painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and his representative work is "Luo Shen Fu Tu")

Most of these people at the top of the gift list are local officials in or near Suizhou, of course, there are also local government scholars, Wang Yujiu is an official in Suizhou, of course, he has met a lot of local officials, these people come to congratulate and give gifts, of course the Wang family has to accept it!

Among these congratulatory gifts, there are gold, silver and jewelry, as well as celebrity calligraphy and paintings, in general, these congratulatory gifts are not worth 10,000 yuan, but they are better than the gift of light affection, after all, these people are either officials in one party, or Mr. Fuxue, not to mention the wealthy, the family is huge!

For the Suizhou officialdom, the people and guests who came to congratulate them, and the people and guests who knew the inside story were not surprised, but everyone felt that these congratulatory gifts seemed to be almost meaningful, after all, 10,000 yuan was almost only a dozen times, and 100,000 yuan was only more than 100 yuan, which was not worth mentioning at all for a thousand-year-old family like the Wang family!

But soon, the "local tyrant" that everyone was looking forward to came:

"Fan Yang Lu clan Lu Chengqing came to congratulate and sent four million money, four gold collars, six silver collars, a golden phoenix with beads, a golden hairpin with double luan title longevity, a pair of golden phoenix hairpins with beads, a pair of Diancui inlaid Hetian white jade phoenix bird hairpins, and a pair of Diancui tired silk phoenix hairpins~!"

"Li Jingxuan of the Li family of Zhaojun came to congratulate and sent four million dollars, a pair of white jade mandarin duck buckles, four pairs of beads and silk beeswax turquoise coat buttons, two points of jade handle ivory handle knife fire sickle, four gold collars, and six silver collars~!"

There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd:

"Huh~! Send 4 million! The people of the Fan Yang Lu clan and the Zhao Jun Li clan actually came! Wang Tingshi's face is really big! ”

"Lu Chengqing? Li Jingxuan? They are the eldest sons of the Fan Yang Lu clan and the Zhao Jun Li clan! They actually came in person! ”

"This is why the Wang family can have this influence!"

While everyone was talking, they only heard the Assassin Mansion Governor continue to read aloud:

"Chang'an Yong'an Hou sent someone to congratulate his sister-in-law on her marriage to Wang Tingshi, and sent eight million dollars, four pairs of the best night pearls, a golden phoenix with beads, a golden hairpin with a double luan title, a pair of golden phoenix hairpins with pearls, a pair of white jade phoenix hairpins with dotted cui inlays, a pair of white jade phoenix bird hairpins with dotted cui inlay, a Qiquge carriage, three second-generation bicycles, and a special electric car from the Qiquge Workshop~!"

More than a month ago, the locusts in Guanzhong, the land of Qizhou was also deeply affected by the locust plague, when Li Zexuan led the Tianji Brigade to the north, he passed through Qizhou, and within a few days, the locusts in the farmland in Qizhou were wiped out, and the people of Qizhou all read Li Zexuan's good, and now after hearing the three words Yong'an Hou read out by the governor of the Assassin Mansion, how can the onlookers and the guests in the house not be shocked? The crowd was not only shocked by the congratulatory gifts in the gift list, but also shocked by the bride's other identity:

"Send eight million! Yong'an Hou is really heroic! ”

"What? Yong'an Hou also came to congratulate? ”

"I heard that Yong'an Hou and our Wang Thorn Shi are close friends, I didn't know if this rumor was true or false before, but now it seems to be true!"

"In this way, wouldn't the people of Qizhou also be blessed? Yong'an Hou Na Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce has a lot of novelties? I don't know if I can come to Qizhou to open a branch when the time comes! ”

"Who says there are no branches? The carriage sold by the car dealer in Miss Li's house was transported from the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce! ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"Tsk! Eight million dollars! How much does that cost! I've never seen so much money in my life! ”

"Cut! What is this? You know that the last two gifts on the list are precious! ”

"What congratulatory gift?"

"Whoa! It's the second-generation bike, and the electric car specially made by the Wonder Pavilion Workshop! ”

"A second-generation bike? Is it the second-generation bicycle mentioned in the "Datang Daily" a while ago? We don't have a few of these things in Qizhou, right? ”

"Isn't that? Look at how generous Yongan Hou is, he will send three cars as soon as he makes a move! This is actually nothing, the most precious thing is the special electric car made by the Wonder Pavilion Workshop! ”

"What is this electric car? How come I've never heard of it? ”

"Hey! This electric car is so godly, ordinary people don't know it at all, my uncle has been doing business in Chang'an, so I heard some news! It is said that this electric car is a very huge big iron box, people sit in it, do not need livestock to pull, do not need to pedal with feet, the car can go automatically, but amazing! ”

"Huh~! Is there still such a car in the world? ”

"Hmmm! Prior to this, there was only one car in the entire Tang Dynasty, which was given by Yong'an Hou when Yan Shaoning, the son of the Ministry of Industry, got married. ”

"Huh? No, did you just notice that the head of the Assassin Mansion said that Miss Li was the righteous sister of Yong'an Hou? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I heard it too! ”

"When did Miss Li become the righteous sister of Yong'an Hou?"

"Hey! Someone said before that it was wrong for Miss Li to be from the Wang Assassin Shimen, but I see who dares to say that now? ”

"That's right! Miss Li and Wang Thorn Shi are obviously the right match, talented and beautiful, who will dare to say that they are not a good match in the future, see if Lao Tzu doesn't tear their mouths! ”

A month ago, Li Zexuan saved more than 100,000 acres of farmland in Qizhou, that is, he saved tens of thousands of people in Qizhou, in the hearts of the people of Qizhou, Li Zexuan seems to have become a life-saving benefactor, so now I heard that Li Jingchu is looking at Li Zexuan's sister, and they have become respectful and loving for Li Jingchu, the bride!

This is Li Zexuan's prestige in Qizhou! Although he is not an official in Qizhou, his reputation is not much worse than Wang Renbiao's Qizhou assassin history!

"Sister-in-law? King...... Renbiao, when did I become the righteous sister of Lord Hou? ”

When the people were talking and cheering, Li Jingchu, the person concerned, was full of questions, and she couldn't help but stop when she had just finished stepping over the rice bag with Wang Renbiao, and asked in a low voice.
