Chapter Forty-Eight: The Wedding Shakes the Capital

Xiao Lu took the silver and said, "It's so good, I'm worried about the silver, and the money spent in front of me was borrowed from Lu Ji." But it's gone, we're not without a salary in the past ten years, how can we live? ”

"Silly girl, this official has invited so many court officials, as well as the emperor, the gift money alone is enough for us to spend!"

"Isn't that going to get rich?"

"Got rich in one go? Unless you remarry a few more times. ”

"Go! I don't want to! ”

On the tenth day of October, the gongs and drums in front of the Qu Mansion greeted officials from all walks of life, and 20 sugar masters and sugar gourd masters responded to the invitation one day earlier and sent gifts to ladies and children for free on both sides of the door. This is Qu Ping's idea, because when people get married in the future, the bride and groom greet their relatives and friends at the door to congratulate them with joy candy. Guests can have it, and so can citizens passing by. The people in the city have never seen such a polite general, and I heard that when eating, there are two hundred tables of flowing water seats on the long street at the door to entertain citizens and friends.

Xiao Lu was accompanied by Li Cailian and Liang Hongyu in the room, and today she put on makeup, which is even more coquettish, and with the phoenix crown and xia veil, she has a bright and noble feeling. Xiao Lu is still excited in her heart, this will be her happiest moment. It's just that both sides are missing the arrival of their relatives.

The first to arrive were of course Yue Fei, Jiang Boyan, Yang Zaixing, Lu Ji, and the generals in their own army, they were all their own people, and they had to help take care of the guests.

Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Zong Ze and other festival envoys, as well as people from the six departments, came with their families, bringing large bags of gifts, and congratulating them continuously. Li Cailian welcomed the family members to the backyard and sat down, and someone entertained them.

The climax is, of course, that Emperor Zhao Gou personally came to congratulate, and the emperor actually brought Wu Guifei here, which shows that Wu Guifei is now in unparalleled grace. Chen Chong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, served the emperor and the concubine as a guard, and Qu Ping and the ministers knelt down to welcome the emperor and Niangniang, and the mountain called the emperor long live Niangniang.

Zhao Gou said: "You are the biggest today, you don't have to be polite!" ”

Qu Ping said: "Ministers have courtesy, kings have grace, and what should not be less is still not less." ”

"Look what gift I brought you! A pair of fist-sized night pearls and a sword from Shang Fang, I came to visit various places and gave the letter of the Lady of the Decree, which I personally brought. There is also the jewelry rouge gouache that Wu Guifei Pan Guifei gave to Mrs. Qu, Pan Guifei wants to take care of the prince and can't come, I take her to congratulate you! Zhao Gou ordered people to take out gifts and put them out one by one.

"Emperor Xie, thank you two mothers! These gifts are too valuable. Qu Ping hurriedly thanked.

Zhao Gou said: "Haha. Aiqing's wedding procedures and ceremonies are too few, and even the wedding is saved, so are you just waiting to finish drinking and enter the cave room? Haha, how can this work! ”

"The conditions are limited, otherwise what should I do?" Qu Ping said helplessly.

"There are no conditions to create conditions! I have thought about it for you, you can ride your horse and go around the city, so that the people of the Great Song Dynasty can see the majesty of our General Qu! ”

"Your Majesty, isn't this okay!?"

"What's wrong, I'll just say it's good. Do you say yes? The emperor looked around and said.

The hundred officials said in unison: "Okay! ”

Qu Ping sweated for a while and said, "Then the emperor will sit inside, and I will invite the lady." ”

Zhao Gou said: "I'm waiting here, you go quickly!" ”

Qu Ping arrived in front of Xiao Lu's door, plucked up his courage and said, "Lady, the emperor proposes to ask us to ride around the city on horseback. I don't know what you think? ”

The door opened, Xiao Lu and Liang Hongyu came out and said, "The emperor proposed, then it is naturally possible." ”

"Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?"

"I'm willing to sit with you and sit on a horse, even if thousands of people look at me strangely." Xiao Lu said softly.

Qu Ping's heart was about to melt, and he took Xiao Lu's hand with a hood and came out together. Li Cailian has already prepared the little white dragon.

Zhao Gou quipped: "Mrs. Fuguo can shine brightly through her head!" ”

Xiao Lu saluted the emperor and said, "The concubine thanked the emperor!" ”

Qu Ping helped Xiao Lu to get on the horse first, and then rode on the back of the horse cleanly, holding the reins and hugging Xiao Lu, taking the lead, followed by Zhao Gou on horseback and civil and military officials riding or walking, swaggering all the way around the city.

The people who watched the excitement stopped one after another, saluting like the emperor on the one hand, and congratulating Qu Ping on the other. In order to ensure the emperor's safety, 8,000 forbidden troops opened the road all the way to protect the emperor.

Qu Ping thought that in modern times, driving dozens of luxury cars to show off would not have this style!

When I came back from the parade, it was almost dusk. In ancient times, marriage was at dusk, and marriage was dusk, implying that two people in marriage could go all the way to the twilight of life.

The auspicious time has arrived.

Emperor Zhao Gou and Wu Guifei sat on the upper seat, Qu Ping and the two had no elders, and the father and mother of the country naturally became the "high hall".

Shao Chengzhang shouted: "One worships heaven and earth, two worships the high hall, and husband and wife worship each other!" ”

Qu Ping and Xiao Lu finished their respective gifts, and with a sound of "sent into the cave room", Xiao Lu was sent into the cave room, Wu Guifei also went to the backyard to enjoy a banquet with the female dependents, Qu Ping stayed to accompany the emperor and ministers to drink, thank them for their congratulations.

In the house, the ministers first saluted the emperor's concubine, and then Qu Ping, Qu Ping thanked him one by one, although the alcohol in ancient times was not high, but everyone saluted back and forth once, and the stomach was enough to support. Outside the house, two hundred tables of flowing water seats, the people of Yingtian are full, this is the wedding banquet of the second-grade members of the imperial court, who does not want to touch a little light, and in the future, it is good to brag to others that they have eaten the wedding wine of the second-grade officials of the imperial court, which can be called a grandeur.

The emperor stayed for a while, and in order to take care of everyone's emotions, he took Wu Guifei back to the palace in advance. Everyone did not have the restraint of the emperor's presence, and let go of their hands and feet, especially the generals who advanced and retreated together on the battlefield, replaced the wine cup with a large bowl, and the bowl of dry bowls with Qu Ping, saying that they would not return if they were not drunk. Many officials of the DPRK and China, who did not know each other very well, also rushed to toast in order to catch Qu Ping's fast boat.

Qu Ping said: "Thank you for being so appreciative, but I still have important things to do later, so I can't continue to get drunk with you. Now that the country has been decided, all officials should take this opportunity to communicate more, and everyone will work together to work together to contribute to the imperial court! Qu Ping will not be accompanied, you continue, you must have fun! ”

Everyone retained and laughed, and then let Qu Ping go into the cave room.

Now that the national crisis has been solved, it is rare to have the opportunity to be so presumptuous, who still has to eat and drink with a heart, there is no position today, only deep feelings.

Qu Ping entered the cave room, Xiao Lu sat on the edge of the bed in red makeup, watched Qu Ping push open the door through the red hood, his little heart fluttered and sped up, and his slender hands were slowly clenched, and he didn't know how to talk later.

Qu Ping stood in front of Xiao Lu, carefully looking at Xiao Lu wrapped in red makeup, the joy churning in his heart calmed down at this moment, he thought, this is his own woman, he must be good to her. It is fate that is destined for you and me to meet, know and love each other, and I love you, it is destined.

Xiao Lu watched Qu Ping stand in front of him in a daze, his heart beating faster, why didn't he lift his hijab.

Qu Ping slowly pinched the hijab with both hands, slowly lifted the hijab, looking at his wife who was so charming tonight, Xiao Lu raised his eyes faintly and looked at Qu Ping, looking even more delicate. Qu Ping leaned down and kissed her lips gently, Xiao Lu trembled like an electric shock, but heard Qu Ping continue: "Wife, are you hungry?" ”

Xiao Lu said angrily in her heart, how could she mention this at such a romantic and tense moment. But it's okay not to mention it, as soon as I mention it, my stomach growls.

Qu Ping laughed and said, "I knew you must be hungry." I'll go to the kitchen and get you some food, wait! ”

After relieving the hunger, I can rest for a while before moving on to the next step.

Although Qu Ping was an open and civilized person who crossed over a thousand years later, Xiao Lu also looked at the picture of the waiter that Liang Hongyu secretly stuffed for her to observe and study in the afternoon.

Heaven and earth divide yin and yang, and clouds give rain. I won't go into details.

The next day, Qu Ping got up in a hundred times the spirit, like a winning rooster in the yard to perform a set of punches, so uncomfortable. Xiao Lu's body was tired, and she still fell asleep and went back to sleep.

The scraps and garbage of yesterday's feast have been cleaned up, and there are two more subordinates in the house, Qu Ping still doesn't know him, Xiaohong led the two to see the master one by one. Qu Ping sent a small red envelope to one of them and asked, "Why don't you see Steward Huang?" ”

Xiaohong happily accepted the red envelope and said, "When Steward Huang was cleaning the yard this morning, he accidentally sprained his foot and neck, and Xiaolu is dressing him." ”

Qu Ping asked Xiaohong to take him to see Butler Huang, he was sitting on the bench in the kitchen, Xiaolu had just applied medicine to him, and used a hot bag to help Butler Huang warm the compress.

Xiao Lu didn't notice Qu Ping coming in, and said to the housekeeper: "Seeing that you are so careless, you deliberately want to be lazy, right?" ”

Qu Ping said: "I just twisted my foot, how can I apply a hot compress, quickly, bring a bucket of cold water, I want a cold compress!" ”

Xiao Lu was startled when he saw that the old man came quietly. Xiaohong deftly went to the well and fetched a bucket of cold water.

Steward Huang wanted to get up and salute, but Qu Ping said not to get up. Then he lifted the yellow butler's foot and pressed it into the cold water bucket with a grunt, except for the stinging cold feeling of the cold water just touching the skin, the pain was really reduced.

Xiao Lu asked: "Master, why do you want to apply cold compresses, we have always been hot compresses?" ”
