When the welcoming team returned to Dongcheng again, it was already overcrowded, and if it weren't for the consciousness of the people and the extra effort of the Feng family sergeants who maintained order, the welcoming team might not be able to arrive at the State Guest Post at any time.

Outside the State Guest House, the Silla family send-off team had been waiting for a long time, just waiting for the arrival of the family welcome team, and after doing some due courtesy, it was not too early to see the time. In order to complete important matters such as the worship at the appointed auspicious time, the speed of the procession had to be accelerated. In this way, it is still the soldiers of the Feng family who maintain order and the guys who distribute copper coins and candies who are suffering.

The gongs and drums all the way to the Jiedu Mansion, followed by a series of entrance ceremonies, across the saddle, over the brazier, sprinkling grain beans, passing the seat, etc., after a lively time, it is necessary to enter the formal worship ceremony.

Because Zhou Chen's parents both lived in Hanzhong Mansion and did not arrive in time, Lin Feng, as the eldest brother, temporarily sat in the high hall. And the bride Zhen Ying's second uncle Zhen Nengai, as the only elder of the Zhen family present, sat side by side with Lin Feng, and kept bowing his hands to Lin Feng during the period, saying that he was fortunate to have three lives and took care of him. After all, it was a big day, and Lin Feng was also very polite to return the favor with the courtesy of his peers, although in fact the other party was one generation higher...

After worshipping heaven and earth, worshipping the high hall, and worshipping each other, Lin Feng and Zhen Nengwai humbled each other, and successively accepted tea and gifts from the two newcomers, followed by the two of them giving the prepared gifts to the two newcomers. Then, amid the more cheerful beating of gongs and drums and the fierce crackling of firecrackers, the master of ceremonies of the Silla Kingdom who was happily closing his mouth and accompanying the embassy finally announced that the two newlyweds would be sent to the cave room.

Immediately afterwards, several Silla maids who couldn't wait stepped forward with small steps, hurriedly picked up their hostess and new aunt, put the two ends of the concentric knot in the palms of their hands with a smile on their faces, and then guided the two to go around the back of the hall and go towards the new house.

The formal ritual process is over, which indicates that the wedding feast is about to begin. The location is in Jiedu Mansion, but because there are too many guests of various identities, large and small, in addition to some of the most prestigious gentry and tyrants in the city and a few 'big men' who have been specially invited in Xicheng, civil officials need to be from the fourth grade or above, and the generals of the army need to be from the fifth grade or above, before they can enter the wedding banquet in the backyard of the Jiedu Mansion.

For this matter, although Tang Xizong did not come in person, he gave Zhou Chen a full gift for his great joy, the first banquet of the Tang Dynasty made by the imperial chef in the palace - the roasted tail banquet.

Although there are only a few finale dishes, it is said that this is the time that the palace chefs have prepared for nearly a day, except for the time to prepare meals for Tang Xizong, the rest of the time is spent on these so-called hard dishes.

The "Red Sheep Branch" requires the body of a sheep to be supported by four hooves.

"Water refining calf" is to stew the whole calf, requiring "scorching fire", that is, when the fire arrives at home, the meat is stewed.

"Snow Baby" is made by peeling the skin and gutting the frog, sticking it in refined soybean flour, and decocting it. Silver and white as snow, resembling a baby.

"Golden bell grilling" requires ghee to be added to the ingredients and baked to the shape of a golden bell.

"Burning shrimp" is to roast live shrimp on a fire without reducing its luster and brightness.

Although there are not many dishes, there are hundreds of people seated in the backyard of Jiedu Mansion, and if you have one table at each table, the workload is still quite large. In particular, in order to show off his ability, the head of the imperial kitchen also specially added a dish to the two newcomers, "Together, Wrapping Knots", which is to process raw meat into thin slices and tie a concentric knot. Or it can be dried and eaten as dried meat.

The front yard and side yard of the Jiedu Mansion also had a wedding banquet, but compared to the backyard, it was more lively and more 'vulgar', most of the civil officials who were not of enough grade were crowded together to drink and chat, and the rest were the generals who were born in the army, and the favorite was the current flowing water banquet, a big bowl of wine, a large piece of meat, and the flowing water generally 'whoosh' flowed in front of him, gulping and feasting, and the mouth was full of wine stains and oil stains, but his hands were still non-stop, and he poured down while drinking the order.

In the camps of the Fengjia Army in the entire Chengdu Mansion, today is also a day off for all, because of the preparations in advance, so this banquet is more sumptuous than the celebration banquet that just entered Chengdu Mansion a few days ago, and more than a dozen people gathered around shouting and competing for the amount of wine. There are also 'foodies' in a few peers under the appointment, in the surrounding dozens of hundreds of people in the shouting competition 'belly', according to some middle and lower-level officers, this is their own Hou Ye proposed, today at will competition, in the end, whether it is a 'foodie' or 'wine fairy', there will be a heavy reward!

In the backyard of Jiedu Mansion, Lin Feng and Zhen Nengai are not only the elders of the two newcomers today, but also serve as the representatives of another identity, between the upper kingdom and the vassal state, so even though Lin Feng is very tired of complimenting each other and being modest in this kind of scene, he has to be polite to Zhen Nengai with a smile that has already cramped.

And Zhen Nengai didn't seem to be able to see Lin Feng's true thoughts at all, but instead expressed great interest in Lin Feng and the Feng family's army, as a vassal state of the Tang Empire, the customs of the Silla Kingdom were very different from those of the Tang Dynasty. And Zhen Nengai seemed to have inquired about Lin Feng's background in detail, and at the banquet, he kept complimenting the real commander of the first elite division of the Tang Dynasty in front of him, and at the same time, he also kept saying words of praise to Mao Hao, Pan Zhigang, Yin Bo and other core generals of the Feng family army at the same table.

Although Lin Feng has been dealing with it vaguely, the rest of the people are different, especially after hearing the other party say something flattering such as being young and promising, outstanding, famous, etc., especially Yin Bo, Pan Zhigang and others, who were even praised by the other party's words and floated into the sky. The thought that even the Silla kingdom thousands of miles away knew about their outstanding achievements, they couldn't help but weaken their legs and float lightly.

Later, just after drinking a little wine, he directly pulled the foaming General Zhen Nengai and began to talk, from the founding of Silla hundreds of years ago to the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and then to the Silla State and the Tang Empire to destroy Baekje and Goguryeo, and then talked about the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Crusade and the war with Silla, and finally talked about the Silla State was not as strong as the Tang Empire after all, and had to become a vassal state of the Tang Empire.

In this regard, I don't know if General Zhen Nengai really drank too much and didn't care, or if he also thought that Silla was inferior to the Tang Dynasty, or if he understood everything but didn't show it.

Anyway, with the concerted efforts of Yin Bo and others, the two henchmen led by Zhen Nengai were only halfway through the banquet, and the three of them had already fallen under the table one after another, and Lin Feng, who was directly provoked, shook his head and smiled bitterly, scolding a few people for not knowing the general situation, and treating the VIPs politely.
