The homecoming banquet is the final ceremony of a wedding. The woman's family set up a banquet to entertain the new son-in-law, and for the new son-in-law, sometimes it is more like a Hongmen banquet. If there is a slight mistake in etiquette and gifts, it will leave a very bad impression in front of the female family.

After passing by, the newlyweds walked into the banquet hall nervously, and saw two rows of desks, with a couple of men and women sitting at the back of the desk. The men are all extraordinary, and their clothes are bright. The women are dignified and beautiful, and their clothes are gorgeous.

raised his eyes and glanced at the main seat, but it was not the old father-in-law Wang Yuanbao. A young and thin man, wearing a flat scarf on his head, wearing a purple Dake robe, and a jade belt around his waist is in the middle position. On the side of the case was accompanied by a young woman with a beautiful face and a gentle expression. As the owner, Wang Yuanbao and several wealthy friends looked respectful and accompanied each other on the side seat.

This purple robe is often dressed, only the prince and the court officials above the third rank can wear it, this imposing young man, I don't know what the origin is.

After saluting the pair of men and women on the main throne with Wang Liuli, as well as the elders sitting on the side, it was time to present gifts to relatives and friends on both sides. Boss Hu and Liuzi, who were dressed in new clothes, presented gift boxes to the men and women on the sides of the case in turn. Boss Hu had an extra one in his hand, and he looked at the road with a stunned expression, at a loss.

"What? Your other brothers-in-law and sisters have gifts, but my seventh brother-in-law doesn't have them. The young man on the throne smiled slightly, and looked at the road with a playful look.

Wang Liuli gently poked the road a little dazed with her hand, and glanced at Ambassador Hu. Boss Hu was so nervous that his legs were weak, and he trembled and was shocked to carefully put the gift box on the desk on the main seat, and then retreated behind him.

The young man opened the gift box casually, his face became extremely strange, and he opened the gift box of the woman next to him curiously.

"Hmm! It's not bad. Those ladies in Daming Palace often make trouble for a bottle of this thing. Pearl, your sister-in-law is generous, and gave you two bottles at a time. ”；

As soon as the man's words fell, Wang Liuli's sisters opened the gift box impatiently one by one, and after taking a look, their faces showed a satisfied look.

Everyone over there was looking at the gifts, and here Wang Liuli whispered quickly about the origin of the seventh brother-in-law.

"Back then, my father paid a large bride price and married a daughter from the Wuxing Shen family. After giving birth to the seventh sister pearl, they disliked my family's identity as a businessman again. When the seventh sister was seven years old, she was taken to the Shen family to be raised, and she didn't think that she was sent to the draft by the Shen family at the age of thirteen, and was given to her son Li by the prince. And the identity of my seventh sister has also become an official of Dali Temple, the daughter of Shen Yizhi of the Shen family.

Hum! The Shen family has taken up the benefits on the surface, but the one who can send money to the East Palace and the king of Guangping County is not my royal family. Seventy percent of Tianxian Building's income went into the pocket of my seventh brother-in-law. ”

The king of Guangping County, who had changed his name to Li Yu, closed the gift box on the throne and smiled as he looked at the road.

"Teacher disciple Cheng, let her marry me. Haha, hahaha! Our ninth brother-in-law acted unexpectedly. This gift is so different, I Li Yu smiled. ”

The serious atmosphere during the banquet suddenly became much more relaxed by Li Yu's laughter.

In the midst of laughter, the red-faced walked and sat at the end of the seat with Wang Liuli.

"Brother, when we say goodbye to April, we don't want to see each other again, we become brothers-in-law. It's okay for you to give this gift to those older brothers-in-law, so it's not appropriate to give it to me. ”

Passing by the couple's case, there were two familiar couples, An Renzhi and Wang Ruyu. As soon as he sat down, An Renzhi secretly laughed.

"Relax the muscles and invigorate the blood, consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan. This young man is also very good to take, and Brother Ren can rest assured. I took a sneak peek at Wang Liuli, a lady with a gloomy face, and whispered to An Renzhi.

An Renzhi waved his hand again and again: "Don't call the name Renzhi anymore, I have been given the name Qingxu by the saint, and I will pay attention to this title in the future." ”

At this time, Wang Lao got up, and after reading a congratulatory word, everyone raised their glasses and drank together. After thirty years, it is the turn of the road to toast the husband and wife.

walked to the case of Li Yu Shen Pearl and his wife, and raised a toast. I didn't expect that this gentle and polite king of Guangping on weekdays would actually make fun of Wang Liuli.

"Ninth sister, you have a strong and eccentric temperament, I really thought that there was no man in the world who could be favored by you, and I was anxious for you for a long time. But there is this brother-in-law in the world who behaves more eccentricly than you, and the two of you are a perfect match. ”；

"Where can I compare to the seventh sister, who is gentle and knowledgeable, so naturally I was rushed to ask for it early, and I gave birth to your eldest son at the age of fourteen. It's like I'm nineteen, so I married myself off. ”

Wang Liuli's self-deprecation and compliments made Li Yu laugh proudly.

Shen Pearl, who is not older than Wang Liuli, exudes the temperament of a mature young woman. Hearing this, she smiled, stood up and toasted the two of them.

"My sister is here to wish the ninth sister and nine brothers-in-law a good old age and an early birth of a noble son.";

Wang Liuli, whose face was flushed, walked in front of Wang Yuanbao again. Wang Yuanbao raised his head high and glared at the road dissatisfied.

"My most precious daughter is married to you, and if you don't treat her well, I won't let you go."

After a few elders, they came to a pair of middle-aged men and women who were not young.

"This is my eldest brother-in-law, Zhao Ting, who is currently the governor of Jiannan Province. This is my eldest sister Yueqiu. Speaking of which, my eldest brother-in-law still has something to do with you. He and your master, Mr. Taibin, are both from the Yanting Zhao family, which can be regarded as their own family. ”

Wang Liuli toasted and introduced the road.

"Huh!" The middle-aged man smiled innocently: "You are a disciple of the old ancestor, we are not outsiders, so there is no need to be polite." ”

"This is the second brother-in-law Li Guangbi, who was previously the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, and now he is the successor of Chang'an. This is my second sister Ziyan, as a woman, but she likes to dance with knives and swords, and she also fought with her second brother-in-law several times to form a rivalry, and later became a happy couple. ”

Wang Liuli seemed to be more familiar with these two, and her words seemed relaxed and presumptuous.

"I heard that your swordsmanship is superb, and even that bandit Hualin was beheaded by you. If you have time, how about comparing with me? "Wang Liuli, the second sister, is very impulsive, and she looks eager to try when she speaks.

"Humph!" Li Guangbi snorted coldly and held back his mouth: "As far as your unpopular swordsmanship is concerned, you also want to compete with the ninth brother-in-law, I don't think you will be ashamed." ”

"What!" Wang Ziyan, who was tall and beautiful, stood up suddenly: "I think that at the beginning, you and I competed in a sword competition, but you have won a move and a half against me." I'm not convinced, I'll go to the backyard to try it later. ”

Lu Lu opened his eyes wide, looked at these two in a daze, and didn't dare to speak.

"Your riding and archery skills are very good, and you are proficient in the art of war, do you want to work hard with me in the army?" Li Guangbi didn't dare to confront his wife head-on, and turned his head to look at the road full of expectations.

"Good! If I have no hope of a career, I will go to you when the time comes

Brother-in-law joined the army. He replied very perfunctorily after passing the road, which disappointed Li Guangbi greatly, and he didn't say anything more.

"Third brother-in-law Cui Hao, don't drive Yangzhou Mansion, third sister rose." When introducing this couple, Wang Liuli was very concise.

"I heard that you were born in Jinshui County, Yangzhou Prefecture, but you obtained the status of Gongsheng when you were thirteen years old, and now at the age of the weak crown, you are still a Gongsheng. When you are young, you are smart and useless, you don't want to be like that. ”

Cui Hao's posture was high, and after educating the road for a few sentences, he turned his head and chatted with Zhang Xun beside him, and the husband and wife were very embarrassed to make way.

The fourth brother-in-law and the fifth brother-in-law, who are also from the same businessman's family, have no srest, but they are not very enthusiastic about the road, so they take a sip of wine, and the meaning is over.

came to Zhang Xun's place, but when he saw him snorting coldly, he didn't bother to turn his head, and he didn't even bother to drink the toast on the way. Wang Shanshan smiled apologetically, looking very helpless.

"Hey, hey!" An Qingxu laughed lightly: "These literati are very high-minded, and they don't bother to look at us martial artists on weekdays. Brother, don't worry about that. ”

Lu shook his head, indicating that he didn't care, but he was secretly frightened in his heart. Wang Yuanbao, a treacherous old fat man, not only made friends with countless powerful and rich people. Although most of the daughters who marry are concubines, the husbands around them range from the emperor's grandson to the son of a wealthy man. The hidden power is so great that I am afraid that many princes and nobles will also be ashamed of themselves.

"Today, Liuli's niece returned to the door, and the people who accounted for the majority of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce basically arrived. I, Guo Wanjin, have a question, and I hope you don't get surprised. Now that Liuli's niece is married, I'm thinking, who will hold the position of the big shopkeeper of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce? ”

After passing by, he sat down with Wang Liuli and hadn't eaten a few bites of food, and Guo Wanjin, who couldn't hide his words, put the problem out in front of everyone.

"Humph!" Wang Yuanbao snorted slightly: "Lao Guo, today is my daughter's homecoming banquet, what are you doing with this question now." ”

"Anyway, there are no outsiders, so I'll just mention it casually. My old Guo is a rough person, and you don't know if you can't hide it. Guo Wanjin glanced at Li Yu, who had no expression on his face, and then fooled him.

"It turns out that the shareholders behind the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce are these brothers-in-law in your family?" Seeing that no one was paying attention to him for a while, he secretly asked Wang Liuli when he passed by.

"Yes, my father took out a large amount of property and created the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. Later, the business got bigger and bigger, and it was divided into ten parts. The seventh sister has two shares alone, and the other daughters have one share. Later, Uncle Yang's uncle Guo also invested a lot of money in and secretly paid tribute to the prince through the Chamber of Commerce. Slowly, this chamber of commerce became the crown prince's treasury. ”

Wang Liuli frowned slightly, feeling very uncomfortable.

"The business is big, and there is no strong support behind it, do you think it will be so smooth? Power-for-money trading is also a kind of business. "I picked up a piece of meat and ate it deliciously.

"I've been in business for so long, don't you know about me? It's just that the people in this royal family have an amazing appetite. Now nearly half of the profits of the Chamber of Commerce have been taken away by them, and they are still not fed. ”

Wang Liuli muttered quietly, looking angry, like an angry little daughter-in-law, where is there still the serious and cold image of Lu Jiu in the past.

"Hehe, it's useless for you to be angry, the whole world of this Datang belongs to his family, isn't it natural to spend the money of your Chamber of Commerce." When I was passing by, I was amused by Wang Liuli's little child's attitude, but what I said made Wang Liuli extremely depressed. Full Book - Free Full Book Reading Network
