Chapter 128: The Big Wedding Ceremony

Everyone in the world knows that Linwu Mountain is known as the glaive spear flower, which is beautiful and incomprehensible, but at this time, the red hijab does not show his face, and only the exquisite figure and demeanor leave everyone with infinite reverie. It is the four maids who accompany the marriage and the attendants, as soon as they appear, they are eye-catching, the lack of moon and the frost blade rhino canal are separated from the left and right, and the guests present all praise the Lingwu Hou Yanfu is not shallow, one room and five beautiful girls, all of them are beautiful and unusual.

After Lingwu Hou led everyone to worship the jujube sheng guizi given by the Holy Emperor, he got up and invited Ying Jiugong into the upper seat, and Bai Lao Taijun was responsible for the entertainment, and the rest of the people were all greeted by Cui Hanzhang and Huo Guangchu Jiakang and others.

"The old lady has a strong body, and she will be able to hold her grandson in the coming year." The big eunuch Ying Jiugong didn't dare to support the old lady Bai in the face of the old lady, when he was still the little eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, he often saw the heroic Pingning county lord entering and leaving the palace from a distance, although now the temples are gray and have gone through wind and frost, but it seems that the spirit of the vigorous inner hair is still not weak at all.

"Thanks to my father-in-law, I have survived some hard days, and the old body finally saw Yanqiu marry." Mrs. Bai held the dragon's head cane in her hand, and said with a kind face.

"In the house of goodness, there will be afterglow." Ying Jiugong said with a smile as he looked at the tea leaves floating in the bowl.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" There was an inner supervisor in the outer house shouting loudly, and Mrs. Bai led everyone out on crutches to meet them.

Outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, the people knelt on the ground, and everyone shouted: "The queen mother is a thousand years old." ”

Empress Xiao was graceful and luxurious in the world, sitting on the phoenix and looking down on everyone, and saw that Mrs. Bai went out to greet everyone with the support of everyone, and took the initiative to get up and greet her with a smile: "Old lady, hurry up and be free of courtesy." ”

"The old body is grateful, the queen mother is here, making the humble house shine." Mrs. Bai was thoughtful for a few years, and insisted on taking Bai Yanqiu and others to make a big salute together.

"This trip to the palace is full of joy, congratulations to the two newlyweds for tying the knot; The second is to be a messenger and send a gift to the newlyweds for the Queen Mother and her old family. ”

While speaking, the big palace maid commanded the two small officials to carry a large plate, and a group of jade unicorn Tengyun carvings were placed in the plate, in front of which were two unicorns ten inches high and two feet long, followed by five slightly smaller unicorns, stepping on a three-colored auspicious cloud. As soon as this object appeared, it attracted the attention of everyone in the audience, and they came to watch it.

"The green's richness, uniqueness, and purity, and you can see that the unicorn is so green that it seems to be about to drip out, and I feel that the green has a slight blue tone, but it is not biased, giving people a dignified and noble beauty. In daylight, it appears as a dignified lake green, which at first glance resembles lake blue, and when exposed to strong light, it appears emerald green. It should be the legendary emerald jadeite, also known as imperial green jadeite. What is even more commendable is the associated Fu Lu Shou three colors, violet, yellow fei, green and green three blend and symbiosis, by skilled craftsmen carved into three colors auspicious clouds, it is really a priceless treasure to meet and can not be found. ”

Among the guests, there are many people whose eyes are above the top, recognize this rare world-rare superb emerald jadeite, and say the preciousness of this thing on the spot, the queen mother can actually take out the reward Lingwu Marquis and his wife, it can be seen that the two are really loved by their own grandsons in their hearts.

"The queen mother's gifts are finished, and the palace also has a small gift for the two newlyweds." The palace maidens on both sides rushed in and brought forward six trays full of jewels and jade treasures.

"Brother Bai is getting married, how can Xiao not give a big gift?" At first, he was hidden in the crowd of Empress Xiao's attendants, but at this time, when he spoke, everyone realized that Xiao Jing of Jin'an also participated in the wedding. It is said that these two people fought in the horse fighting competition a few days ago and broke their heads and bled to a mortal enemy, and behind them were tens of millions of taels of silver money gambling duel, I didn't expect to be able to go to the banquet to congratulate the joy, this scheming city is really unfathomable.

When the enemy meets, the wind is light.

"Well, everyone who comes is a guest. Hanzhang, help me lead Brother Xiao into the table. Bai Yanqiu shouted Cui Hanzhang and asked him to entertain Xiao Jing, and even more so that the audience would keep an eye on him, so as not to find any moths.

"Brother Xiao, please!" Cui Hanzhang stepped out of the crowd and grabbed Xiao Jing's shoulders and invited him to take a seat.

On the day of the wedding of the Marquis of Lingwu, the saint, the queen, and the queen mother successively gave gifts, which shows the special status of the Lingwu Marquis, and this treatment is really unique in Taikang City. Subsequently, His Royal Highness King Kang, His Royal Highness King Ze and others also sent congratulatory gifts one after another, and the old housekeeper of the Hou Mansion was tired of singing the ceremony, but his face was full of warm smiles.

The missing moon Shutong entered and invited the bride to come out to thank her, and the queen said with a smile: "Thank you for the gift, visit the hall first, and the palace will be a witness." ”

Lingwu Hou lost his father at a young age, and there was only his mother in the high hall, and at this time, the queen mother came to the Hou Mansion to witness the marriage, and then she and the Holy Emperor gave the holy decree to the monarch's father and mother as the main center, and on both sides were the old lady Bai and Mrs. Bai.

A couple of newlyweds made a grand debut and were introduced into the hall, the missing moon Shutong supported the bride Lin Wushan, and the frost blade rhino canal followed the groom official Bai Yanqiu behind, and the old master of ceremonies of the Ministry of Rites sang the ceremony:

"Worship heaven and earth! The three-life stone is engraved with karma! ”

"Two worship the high hall! Parents of the body's hair and skin! ”

"Three greetings! Friends and family help you out! ”

"Husband and wife bow to each other! Red flowers and heart-to-heart! ”

"Licheng! Send it to the cave room! "The lack of moon and dredging is in front, and the frost blade rhino ditch is in the back, sending a couple of newcomers into the cave room.

After the completion of the Jiugong ceremony, he got up and said goodbye, "The ceremony is completed, the old slave will go back to the palace to give the holy decree." ”

Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai all got up to stay, and the two sides pushed and gave in place the courtesies. In the end, Mrs. Bai asked people to move two jars of good wine, plus a small leaf of red sandalwood, and the gold leaf of the box, escorted him out of the house.

Empress Xiao is sitting here, how can there be a place for a slave to drink with her father-in-law, but no one will find out about this matter, and it is impossible to say it.

Cui Hanzhang arranged Xiao Jing and King Kang Zewang into a table, and personally accompanied and appeased, no matter what, the face of the first emperor merchant of the Xiao family in Jin'an still had to be given.

"I said Cui Tanhua, let's have a good drink two cups today, as the so-called don't fight and don't know each other, you and I can be regarded as old friends in Yuezhou!" Bai Yanqiu said that Xiao Jing's heart is as black as fire, and his skin is as thick as a city wall, and he is really not wrong, he drinks at the same table with the enemy of life and death, and it is estimated that he will hack Cui Hanzhang to death when he gets off the table.

"What did the eldest prince Xiao say, the matter of Mingjin Mansion was ordered to be erranded." Cui Hanzhang clinked glasses with him, and the two of them talked with swords and swords.

King Kang had previously accompanied the princess Chu and Motuo Tiange to congratulate the old lady Bai, and then asked the queen mother to say goodbye, but he was left to drink two glasses of wine. finally found an excuse to get out, so he arranged for the princess Chu to stay with Queen Xiao, and he brought Motuo Tiange to this table.

At this time, he saw Xiao Jing and Cui Hanzhang clinking glasses and drinking, and it seemed that the relationship was very harmonious, so he smiled and said: "Brother Hanzhang, you have to be careful, my cousin Xiao Jing is a well-known wine fairy, known as the world's drunk, he is sober alone." ”

Xiao Jing was immediately unhappy when he heard this, not only deliberately but also coincidentally put the wine glass raised in his hand back to the table abruptly, and spilled most of the wine due to excessive force, and said dissatisfiedly:

"You see my cousin's elbow turned out, and when he came up, he exposed his cousin's old bottom. Brother Cui and I are old acquaintances in a foreign land, and there are few thousand glasses of wine for confidants. ”

"Come on, Brother Cui did it! It's not enjoyable to drink it with a cup, let's drink it with an altar. After saying that, he grabbed an altar in one hand and put it in front of the two of them.

At this time, Kang Wangze, the fourteenth prince, Jiang Yunchang, Qin Siyang, Sima Li and others all laughed and saw that the two were silent, of course, they had to have the stomach to accompany the wine, but Cui Yunzhi, who saw this situation, frowned, and it was not easy to help for a while.

Although Jiang Guifei did not attend the wedding, she entrusted King Ze to bring gifts, "The old lady is in good spirits on happy occasions, this is the gift that my mother entrusted me, I wish you to hold your great-grandson as soon as possible." ”

"Good! Good! The old body thanked the concubine! Another day, I must let Yanqiu and the couple go to Shangyang Palace to kowtow and thank you. ”

"King Ze is a talent, and it should be the age to start a family! Do you have a crush on any girl? I still have a bit of a thin face, old woman. The old lady who was sitting on the right hand of Empress Xiao had a good impression of Zewang Youyin, and asked with a smile.

King Ze was not polite, picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile:

"Old lady, you are a veteran of Taikang City, with sharp eyes, you have seen a good woman who eats more salt than Xiao Wang, you can help me pick one."

As a result, this remark caused several old guys such as Luyang Wang Ding Guogong to laugh, and sure enough, after going to the north to fight, his face was much thicker.

"King Ze should have been discussing his relatives last year, but he never thought that there was a war in the north, and the Holy Lord's intention was the first plan for the Northern Expedition, and now he has returned triumphantly, and this year it is time to talk about family affairs!" Empress Xiao lowered her head and took a sip of snow lotus ginseng soup, wiped her red lips lightly, and then took the words and said.

Everyone nodded and listened to it, it seems that the palace is going to propose marriage to King Ze, but I don't know whose girl the flowers are.

King Ze will accept it when he sees it, and he will not stay for half a moment, if he is pestered by a group of elders to ask which girl he likes, he will quickly ask the queen mother to leave after saying goodbye.

Although the Bai family is not prosperous, and most of them are women, but fortunately, with the help of various mansions on Chili Street, many important guests at the main table today have arranged enough people to accompany them, that is, the prince of Guanfu, who has never appeared in the past, personally went out to support him in the scene.

The bigwigs of the six departments and three divisions gathered at a table, and they were accompanied by Liu Zhilun, the son-in-law of Chili Street, and everyone naturally couldn't find fault with it.

Not counting the table that Bai Lao Taijun personally accompanies him, the ten tables in the inner courtyard can only be seated by the princes and princes of the imperial family, and the ten tables in the outer courtyard can only be attended by officials above the fourth grade of Taikang, and most of them are important figures in the yamen of various ministries. There are ten tables in the garden shed that are arranged by local officials from various state capitals to send gifts and congratulations, and there are hundreds of tables of flowing water seats on Chili Street outside the gate of the Hou Mansion for the merchants and people of Taikang City to sit and drink and have fun.

After all, Empress Xiao couldn't stay for a long time, and after the groom official toasted, she got up and prepared to leave: "The queen mother is still waiting for the palace to go back to the palace to report the good news, so she won't stay much, you must have fun." ”

Old Taijun Bai was helped up to salute, but was stopped by Queen Xiao, as long as she stopped, "The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an, and tomorrow morning the old man will take the newcomer to Shouxi Palace to kowtow to the queen mother." ”

Everyone got up and sent the queen mother outside the door, and then went back to the table and took their seats, and at this time they were relatively comfortable drinking and talking.

Although Huo Guang was young, he was also arranged by Lingwu Hou to accompany him at this table at this time. Fortunately, there are also peers such as the Fourteenth Prince, the Ninth Sister, Guan Mu, and other peers, and they let go after a few glasses of wine. Anyway, the amount of alcohol is such a thing, and he will practice it after spitting and spitting, and Huo Guang is out of the way today.

Chu Jiakang and Bai Yun followed behind Lingwuhou to toast one table after another, but there were too many guests today, but after toasting the five tables in the inner courtyard, Chu Jiakang couldn't stand it, so he could only be carried away by his subordinates to sober up. At first, I was a little nervous and scared, but after drinking the two tables of wine, I didn't feel half nervous.

Everyone only thought that he was a member of the Baifu family, but they didn't care too much about him, and now the focus of the audience was on Lingwu Marquis Bai Yanqiu. But it didn't take long for this scene to be seen by Scholar Ru to see the flaw, it turned out that although Ru Jingxiu had a face and changed his appearance, his body and walking posture, including the small movements of drinking fast and slow, and other behaviors, could not be changed. In addition, Chu Jiakang couldn't afford to be drunk, and Lingwuhou couldn't afford to have people around him to block alcohol, so Scholar Ru had already guessed seven or eight points.

Scholar Ru was angry and scared in his heart, angry that this kid was so bold that he actually played Li Daitao's stiff trick under everyone's noses, and this would be happy with everyone's drinking, and he was obviously a little carried away. What is afraid is that there are many people, not afraid of 10,000 in case, Sima Rufeng Sima Lifu and his son are also present, if the two of them see the clues, I am afraid that I will seize the handle and have to treat him to death, with Sima Rufeng's viciousness, I am afraid that I will have to participate in my own godson.

Then he found that Ru Jingxiu was the closest Lingwu Marquis, he clearly remembered that Chu Jiakang was helped down to sober up, how could he come back so quickly. Almost instantly, he guessed that the one next to him was a disfigured Xiu Ge'er, and he couldn't help but pull him closer and scolded in a low voice: "You kid don't want to die, what will you do out blatantly." ”

"Jiakang fell asleep, I'm not temporarily replacing it, I'm afraid that Brother Bai will be poured too much." Ru Jingxiu's face was blank and she couldn't see any expression, and quietly replied.

"Follow me, talk less and drink less, and after saluting the remaining five tables, I will arrange for someone to send you back." Bai Yanqiu was pleased with the little brother's righteousness, but at the same time, he had a headache, and he had to find a way to send him back as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a felony to escape from prison in broad daylight.

Seeing that Ru Jingxiu still wanted to argue, Lingwu Hou didn't give him a chance, and reprimanded again: "I have received your wishes, but there are many guests today, and it is difficult to guarantee that anyone will notice you." Especially since Sima Li's father and son are here, it's best not to let them notice you. ”

"I attended the wedding ceremony of Brother Bai and Sister Lin, and I was satisfied, and everything was arranged by Brother Bai." Although Ru Jingxiu was bold and reckless, she also knew the importance at this time, and she had no regrets when she came out this time, so she nodded obediently and agreed.

"Bai Yun, go and call Guan Mu to toast with me, and let Brother Xiu'er carry the tray." Lingwu Hou ordered his personal servant to call Guan Mulai, the major general of Guanfu, to replace Ru Jingxiu.
