Chapter 370: Candles in the Cave Room

"Brother Liu, it's okay, since the emperor rewarded me, what do I do with it is my business, if I don't even have this right, what do I want this gift for, you can do it boldly, look at the people who go to the West 'Gate' market, buy some family members back, I will provide the family members there, don't always pick some children, but also find something strong and good-looking."

"Okay, young master, I'll go '' in a few days." After Lao Liu finished speaking, he went out to arrange for his family to work.

Here, Xing Zhiwei said with emotion: "Lord Lan, you think about us so much, how can we repay your kindness." ”

I know that Xing Zhiwei is sincere, after so many days of working together, I also have an in-depth understanding of them, Xing Zhiwei is more flexible than Liu Taoran, and will not stick to the rules. But without Liu Taoran's loyalty and integrity, although I can't see it now, only by tying his interests to my interests in the future can he be loyal to me.

"Don't say anything about kindness, we are all colleagues, this house is idle, you come to make use of it, okay Lord Xing, this matter is decided. Don't say any words of thanks, don't tell him yet, let's talk about it after moving over, or according to his temper, it won't work if it's not already a boat. ”

I don't care about the rest, the 'waiter', 'girl' and little 'jade' also came to urge me and said: "Uncle, today is the candle night of the 'cave' room and 'flower', why are you still talking about official business, the young lady is waiting for you." ”

I can't complain that Zihan is in a hurry, if this matter is in a family with elders, I don't have to do anything, just be my own groom official, but now, I have to go out in person, this is also a helpless way, Lao Liu can't stand up, it's not that he is incapable. After all, Lao Liu has never been a housekeeper, and small things can be handled, and I have to go into battle myself when I encounter major things.

When I came to the backyard, in front of the 'door' of the 'hole' room, two 'maids' and 'women' stood in front of the 'door', saw me coming, both of them were blessed, and said, "Welcome to the master." "Reaching out to me to push the 'door' open, I entered the outer room of the 'hole' room, but when I saw this outer room, there were a lot more things than when we came in the morning, all of them were big red boxes, which were different from those from Zihan's marriage.

Came to the 'cave' room, where two teams of huge red candles were lit, Zihan sat in front of the dresser, and removed his makeup in the company of the 'waiter' and 'woman'. The table in the middle had already been prepared for a long time, because there was a stove in the room, and even though it was winter, it was still warm.

After Zihan finished cleaning up, he got up and came to the wine table, the "waiter" and "woman" poured wine for us, and after drinking a glass of wine, Zihan's face was crimson, more delicate and "glamorous", and after three glasses of wine, I began to be restless, and I couldn't stand it for a long time after living alone.

The 'waiters' and 'women' also knew this, and after we had drunk three glasses of wine, they all quit the 'cave' room.

The next thing was logical, I came to Zihan's side and picked her up, Zihan took advantage of the situation to lean on me and said, "Xianggong, let's rest in peace." ”

At this time, Zihan was also full of "spring" and "color", I picked up Zihan and came to the "bed" covered with a big red brocade quilt, and gently put Zihan on the "bed", Zihan said softly: "Please have mercy on ......" (600 words are omitted here).

A night lingering, but many days of missing, the huge red candle was only half lit overnight, the two of us had no sleep all night, endless love words, endless tenderness, continuous caressing, so that we got up in the morning is also full of tiredness. The 'waiters' and 'women' came in, cleaned up the 'bed' for us, brought warm water to wash, and breakfast was also eaten in the 'cave' room, and after breakfast, when Zihan was putting on makeup, I came to the hall.

In the hall, Liu Taoran, Xing Zhiwei, and Lao Liu also got up, and it seemed that they had already had breakfast, and they seemed to be waiting for me to come out. Now that Sun Daocun, the main marriage, is not here, Liu Taoran will do the rest of the things, Liu Taoran stood up and said: "Lord Lan, you will have to go back to the 'door' with your wife to see your uncle in a while, and this can't be delayed." ”

"Okay, Madam will come out in a while, Brother Liu is ready, right?"

"My lord, you are ready to stop, the gifts and the sedan chair are ready, just waiting for you to come out."

The Ming Dynasty's return to the 'door' is also very troublesome, I also read it before the wedding, the Ming Dynasty ceremony wedding chapter, so I also know the general procedure, I want to meet my aunt today, I don't have an aunt now, and I am exempt from this procedure. The second procedure is to see the ancestors: the ancients will see you in March and the temple. Zhu Zi's family ceremony is too far away, and it is used for three days instead.

'Woman' to the day of tomorrow, seen in the ancestors. Those who do not have a temple are located in the hall. I don't have any ancestral temples and ancestral halls now, so I have to choose the latter, Lao Liu They have already set up the god position, just wait for Zihan to come out, and we will worship God together.

After a while, Zihan came to the hall accompanied by the 'waiter' and 'girl', Zihan did not wear yesterday's dress, but wore the long-cherished dress of the three-grade lady given by the emperor yesterday. Liu Taoran also familiarized himself with these classics, and without Sun Daocun, we successfully ended the ceremony of worshiping God and ancestors.

The next thing is to go to Zihan's house to return to the 'door', which is indispensable and the most important part, under the arrangement of Liu Taoran and Lao Liu, we took a sedan chair around the street and came to Wei Mansion. The great 'gate' stands outside. Those who praise are the first to take the notice.

Wei Yunqing greeted us outside the big 'gate', and the servants who followed behind with gifts. Wei Yunqing ascended from the western steps. I ascended from the Eastern Steps. In the lobby, the east and west sides. Wei Yunqing is in the west, and I am in the east. The salute invited by the Wei Mansion sang bowing, bowing, and flattening. I bowed, rejoiced, and flattened.

Wei Yunqing helped me up. The follower handed me the silver ticket he brought, this is according to the rules, this time the Wei Mansion 'spent' a lot of money, I discussed with Lao Liu, and also prepared some more silver to bring over, a full 10,000 taels of silver tickets, packed in a brocade box.

I took the brocade box handed by the entourage and handed it to Wei Yunqing with both hands, and Wei Yunqing took the brocade box and handed it to your family members. The praiser led me into the back hall outside the 'door'. The follower holds the coin to follow. Mrs. Wei dressed up and stood in the back hall to the south. The salute led me into the church, and the front of the tree stood facing north. Praise and sing bowing, bowing, and flattening. I bowed again, bowed four times, rejoiced, and flattened. Mrs. Wei replied. The attendant handed me another brocade box, which contained a pair of 'jade' pendants and two purple gold hairpins, which were also prepared by me and Zihan for Mrs. Wei. I took the brocade box and handed it to Mrs. Wei, who also 'handed over' to the 'waiter' and 'woman'. The salute led me out to the hall. This time it was a relative of the Zihan family, but Wei Yunqing didn't have any very close relatives, they were all old friends who were temporarily invited, and they were all like a gift for guests.

After the meeting, the Wei Mansion set up a banquet and wine to entertain us, which is also a very grand etiquette, and the Wei Mansion also paid the capital, invited the chef from outside, and invited a few Wei Yunqing's colleagues to accompany us, Liu Taoran on our side also sat with us, and Lao Liu They had another banquet.

Zihan and they are 'female' guests, they are all in the back hall of the banquet, the relatives of the Wei Mansion are behind the back, this is the first time as the 'daughter' of the Wei Mansion to go to the 'door', so everyone is very polite, respectfully drinking, speaking in a proper manner, the atmosphere is lukewarm.

It's not even noon yet, and it's not for drinking, it's just a procedure, and the wine has passed three rounds of dishes and five flavors. I was still thinking about going to the restaurant to entertain those businessmen who came to give gifts yesterday, so I gave Liu Taoran a look, Liu Taoran also understood what I meant, stood up and said: "Lord Wei, the hour is not early, we are leaving." ”

Wei Yunqing also stood up and said: "Okay, since the hour is not early, let's send off the guests, Yun Jie is also a family now, I also heard that today Lord Zhang is going to have a banquet for the guests who came to give gifts yesterday, you are not the main master, it is not okay, we will not do rude things, no matter what the other party does, you and Lord Liu will go back first, and we will send Zihan back in the afternoon." ”

Everyone got up and sent us to the 'gate' of the Wei Mansion, and watched us go back to the house before going back to drink.

Back in the house, I changed into a set of civilian clothes, and then rushed to the first restaurant in Beijing where Zhang Juzheng held a banquet. Zhang's housekeeper was already waiting for us outside, and led us to the second floor, Zhang Juzheng's box was in the middle, Liu Taoran and I came to the box, only to see that there were five or six businessmen inside, Wang Benyu and a few others were also big businessmen, seeing that we were coming, except for Zhang Juzheng, they all stood up to greet us.

"I'm sorry, teacher, and everyone, today is going back to the 'door', so I'm late, please forgive me." I arched my hand.

"Okay Yunjie, it's okay, everyone knows that you won't come very early when you go back to the 'door' today, and the teacher has also explained to the shopkeepers, since you are all here, let's start the table." The 'waiter' went down to arrange a banquet, and here I also made a special 'door' to greet these shopkeepers.

Waiting for the 'waiter' to serve the wine and food, this side also began to push the cup and change the lamp, because Zhang Juzheng's official position is too high, these businessmen who are usually used to laughing and laughing are not very presumptuous, they are all cautious about drinking, the atmosphere is a little depressing, but a few boxes next door have already drunk three or five drinks.

When Zhang Juzheng saw this, he said: "Everyone, this is the wedding banquet of Lord Lan, do we also make the atmosphere up, don't get in the way of the old man here, there are any constraints, everyone is also an old acquaintance, especially the shopkeeper Wang." I've seen it many times, and you take the lead from the shopkeeper and let everyone set up the atmosphere. ”

When Wang Benyu heard Zhang Juzheng say this, he was also very proud, but he didn't expect that he had lost a Wen 'waiter' Lang and climbed up to Zhang Juzheng, that Wen 'Shi' Lang and Zhang Juzheng are a heaven and an earth, and there is nothing comparable to 'sex'. Wang Benyu, who was happy in his heart, stood up with a wine glass and said: "Everyone, Lord Zhang has spoken, let's drink happily, let's not be restrained, let's do it together, I wish Lord Lan a happy marriage." ”
