I don't know what gift Princess Shouyang gave to Zihan, everyone is very curious, but no one is embarrassed to ask on this occasion.

Next was Chen Jiu, who took out a gift slip from his arms and said: "Lord Lan, I wish you a happy wedding, this is a little bit of my heart, I am in the palace all the year round, there is nothing to prepare, a little meaning, please accept it!" ”

"Mr. Chen, thank you, I'm welcome." After taking Chen Jiu's gift list, I opened it and took a look, it said, two pairs of purple and gold hairpins, a pair of 'jade' pei, ten Su silk horses, ten altars of tribute wine, two mink fur, ten ginseng, and finally a thousand taels of silver tickets, I was shocked to see this gift list, many things in it are not available in the world, like tribute wine, it is out of stock, ginseng is a franchise, and it is not easy to buy, I don't know if Chen Jiu 'gets' from the palace, or bought.

After Chen Jiu saw me finish reading, he said: "Lord Lan, don't be surprised, these things were prepared by the emperor and rewarded by the emperor, and I also borrowed 'flowers' to offer Buddha!" ”

Now I understood, it turned out that the emperor had prepared it for Chen Jiu, and I said: "Manager Chen, how embarrassed should I accept such a heavy gift!" ”

"Lan Yunjie, Chen Jiu has brought it, you are welcome, isn't it time to open the banquet now, everyone has almost arrived." Muzon asked.

"Your Majesty, the time has come, isn't it time to start the banquet?" Sun Daocun is the officiant today, and it is also his responsibility to arrange the procedures, so he asked Emperor Muzong.

"Okay, just follow your procedure, I just drink today, nothing else, Lord Zhang, Master Li, you come over to accompany me, as well as Lan Yunjie and the bride, Shouyang, you also come over to accompany the bride, this is your wife." Mu Zong talked around, looked at the crowd again, and said: "Why didn't you see Lord Gao, everyone is here, why didn't Lord Gao come!" ”

Zhang Juzheng replied embarrassedly: "Lord Gao may be very busy, besides, Lan Yunjie knows that Lord Gao is busy with state affairs and can't be separated, so he didn't give an invitation to Lord Gao." "I really didn't plan to invite him over for Gao Gong, he was originally the opponent of the two fronts, even if he was invited, on the big day, he would make something happen to me, and he couldn't get over this face, so it was better not to be invited.

"Okay, Master Sun, let's have a meal, I'm really a little hungry, I want to eat more here at Lan Yunjie today, and eat the gift I sent back." Emperor Muzong was in a good mood today, constantly joking.

The atmosphere is very harmonious, everyone is in a good mood to see the emperor, and they are all talking and laughing, the palace 'women' brought up the wine and food one after another, and the eunuchs of the East Factory served the food outside, although the officials in the shed could not sit at the same table with the emperor, but they could drink in the same place with the emperor, which was enough for those low-level officials to boast for a long time.

The wedding banquet was carried out in a warm atmosphere, and there were fifteen people in the banquet in the hall, so there was a table, these people were all important ministers of the imperial court, and they usually bowed their heads to the emperor and did not look up, nor were they restrained, but Emperor Muzong was so happy as he was today, and he had not come here for a long time.

Mu Zong is happy, everyone is happy to drink, although not as casual as usual, but it can be regarded as letting go of the stomach to eat and drink, wine to the half, Zihan and I stood up, walked to Emperor Mu Zong with a wine glass and said: "Your Majesty, our husband and wife toast you with a glass, thank the emperor for being able to ignore state affairs in his busy schedule, come to our wedding, and give such a big gift!" ”

Saying that, we raised our glasses, and Mu Zong also picked up the wine glass, although he didn't stand up, but he also said: "Okay, you have your heart, I must drink this wine, but you husband and wife go and sit down first, and we will drink it together!" ”

Emperor Muzong saw us sit down, raised his glass and said: "Zhong Aiqing, I borrow 'flowers' to offer Buddha today, here I wish Lan Yunjiefu 'woman', happy marriage, and I also wish Zhong Aiqing good health and more contributions to the court. ”

Everyone present raised their wine glasses, and after seeing Emperor Muzong drink it all, they all did it all over the place, and then, I toasted next to each other, Zihan can't drink, but he can't be empty-handed, there are 'waiters' and 'women' holding boiled water, followed behind, and after saluting in a circle, Mu Zong said: "Lan Yunjie, how about it, I don't know how much you can drink this amount of wine, and today you have to 'flower' candle night in the 'cave' room, don't drink so much that you can't enter the 'cave' room!" ”

"Your Majesty, Wechen is fine, the adults outside have come to congratulate, Wechen can't treat them slowly, Your Majesty and all the adults are drinking slowly, Wechen goes outside to toast!"

"Okay, go ahead, leave us alone, I must let all the adults have fun today!"

No matter how they drank, I took Zihan to the outside shed under the service of the 'waiter' and 'woman', and now in the shed, I also arranged a few people to persuade the wine, Liu Jinhu and the three are my iron buddies, today is not only to participate in my banquet, but also to persuade the wine, the civil officials are Xing Zhiwei and Liu Taoran, the military attache and the 'guard' are the three of them, almost all the military attaches and 'guards' I know are here, a few people, the axis turns, busy and have to open' Jiao', look at me coming in, Liu Taoran is a civil official on his side, more elegant, not as noisy as the military generals, so he pulled it over there first.

There are more than 150 civil officials here, a table of ten people, a total of 15 tables, this can make me worried, if I drink it all, I am not drunk into mud, not to mention the 'hole' room, even sending the emperor away may not be possible, resolutely not to make a fool, if you drink ugly today, it will be the biggest laughing stock in the capital.

Liu Taoran also saw my hesitation and worry, and said: "Lord Lan, let's do it, I'll drink it for you, and I'll explain these guests to them!" ”

With Liu Taoran's words, I was also half relieved, after all, the civil officials here are all very elegant, and they should be reasonable, I'm afraid that those 'guards' and military attachés, with their rough and arrogant 'sexual' personality, will not spare me.

Coming to the first table, Liu Taoran spoke first: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the big day of Lord Lan, thank you for coming to attend the wedding of Lord Lan, and now Lord Lan comes to toast all adults, but everyone also knows that Lord Lan can't drink more, long live Lord Lan is still waiting for Lord Lan, so there is an official to drink with you on behalf of Lord Lan!" ”

There are acquaintances at this table, that is, my first court meeting, Zhang Juzheng arranged to take care of my household 'waiter' Lang Xia Deren, the two of us are at the same level, and they are both 'waiting' Lang of the household, although we don't often meet, but, because he is also Zhang Juzheng's person, so I feel more cordial from the heart.

After Liu Taoran finished speaking, Xia Deren stood up with a wine glass and said: "Lord Lan, you should drink less today, long live Lord is here, it's not good to drink too much, are you right!" ”

"Yes, Lord Lan can't drink more, you can just get your mind there, you can't delay accompanying the emperor, come and have a drink with us, Lord Lan is free, Lord Liu has to finish drinking." A low-ranking official stood up and said casually to Xia Deren.

Seeing that they all said this, those officials also stood up and drank the wine together, I said a few words of thanks, and then walked to the second table, this table also heard our conversation just now, and also brought a glass of wine casually, and after a while, the fifteen tables were over, Liu Taoran drank almost the same, and the fifteen glasses were drunk.

We came to the side of the military generals, there are not so many here, after all, there are dozens of 'guards' I am familiar with, there are only five tables in total, and there are more than a dozen in the Beijing army, there are the 'flower' deputy general who went to Xiangshan Temple that day, and several thousand households under him, everyone is familiar with it, although he doesn't talk much, the most surprising thing for me is to see Wu Dashan who went to Xuanfu together, and the two hundred households who went with him.

These people are rude, there is no such thing as the rules of scholars, look at the end of my side, Wu Dashan is most familiar with me, he has already stood up and greeted me, and took my hand with a mouth full of wine and said: "Lord Lan, I can be regarded as seeing you, the brothers miss you, they are also coming, you have a good day, we have not received an invitation, it just so happens that the Hou Ye knows, I will come together, there are not many gifts, Lord Lan don't dislike it!" ”

"Brother Wu, there's a word, I've been there for a while, I haven't heard from you, I'm still thinking, your Brother Wu went, why didn't you come back, if I knew that you were back, I would have gone to see you a long time ago, just right, brother I will also accompany you for a drink today, and thank you brothers for appreciating the light, I know the place in the future, don't have anything to do to come and walk, look at me!"

"That's, knowing the place, as long as we come to the city, we have to come to eat, how come we are also brothers who share life and death together, I can still do this, brothers!"

I know about their arrogance and arrogance, so I said with a smile: "Brother Wu, if you don't come to me, brother, I'm not happy, welcome everyone to come often, everyone should have fun today, brother, I can't drink with everyone, everyone knows, the emperor is here, I can't drink too much!" ”

"Okay, Brother Lan, we also understand, you are still free, come brothers, we did it." Wu Dashan picked up the wine glass, tilted his neck and drank a 'fine' light, this table is full of generals of the Beijing army, and also drank it all in one go, we said goodbye to Wu Dashan, and came to the table of the 'guards', these 'guards' are all on duty together, so they are all familiar, fortunately, Liu Jinhu and the three of them have already drunk almost, everyone also drank up according to the rules just now, and it will be over in a while, but I didn't find it' The three commanders of the guards came over, and they always felt uncomfortable in their hearts, the level of the military generals was the highest in Cheng Anhou, and the others were all deputy generals, and they didn't know how to do it.
