Chapter 585: Marriage and Joy, Nine Swords Gather (7)
As the saying goes, the title of the gold list, the candle in the cave room, and the three joyful events in life are the three great joys of life.
Not to mention that people in high positions marry wives and take concubines, ordinary people have to work for a long time to marry a wife, prepare many things, and improve various etiquette, even in modern society.
Now that Wang Mang is newly married, even if he doesn't care about etiquette, even if he wants to be simple, he still can't make it simple for some things, otherwise, the bride Shi Xiuying will not be happy on her face.
Although he is nominally marrying Shi Xiuying, in the eyes of outsiders, he is really marrying Shi Xiuying, and he is still marrying a flat wife, not a concubine, not to mention that Shi Xiuying is a princess of Dawan Kingdom and has an extraordinary status.
At this moment, these people who came to give gifts and celebrations are all figures or representatives with heads and faces, which cannot be underestimated, and there are nearly thousands of them. It was impossible for Wang Mang to turn them away from the door, so he had to invite them in one by one to say a word or two.
It took a whole morning to greet the guests.
As one of the protagonists of this wedding, Shi Xiuying saw such a grand occasion, and she couldn't help but sigh again and again in her heart, feeling that Wang Mang's face and prestige were indeed too great, far surpassing any prince and magnate in the Han Dynasty.
She thought that if Wang Mang was preparing for the wedding, he would send invitations and invite guests. So how many people have to come to the wedding? I'm afraid I won't be able to meet it in a day or two.
This kind of scene is what she wants to see the most as a woman, and she hopes that everyone from all over the world will come to celebrate her wedding.
"Although it wasn't Murong Xiao who married me today, this scene is enough for me to forget for the rest of my life. If you want to come to the Han Dynasty to marry the queen, there are not so many powerful people to celebrate, right? At least they won't come to celebrate. Shi Xiuying said secretly.
Shangguan Ningxuan saw that the auspicious time had arrived, and many etiquettes had been completed, so she stood up and said loudly: "Heaven and earth are handed over, and the bride and groom worship heaven and earth." ”
When Wang Mang heard this, he pulled the big red scarf and Shi Xiuying turned around together, and bowed three times in the east direction outside the door.
"Worldly reincarnation, two worship elders, relatives and friends." Shangguan Ningxuan shouted again.
Wang Mang and Shi Xiuying turned their heads and bowed three times to Wang Xiannian and Shangguan Ningxuan, who were sitting on the top seats, and then bowed to many guests.
"Yin and yang symbiosis, husband and wife worship each other." Shangguan Ningxuan said happily.
As soon as her voice fell, Wang Mang and Shi Xiuying bowed to each other.
"After the ceremony, the newlyweds will serve tea."
Entering the last important tea ceremony procedure of the wedding, Shangguan Ningxuan felt relaxed and full of joy. As long as you go through this procedure, then the wedding can be said to be basically a happy conclusion.
Although Wang Mang is nominally marrying Shi Xiuying this time, Shangguan Ningxuan still doesn't want to see an accident happen, and just wants to complete the procedure successfully, and doesn't want someone to sabotage it halfway.
To a certain extent, she put herself in the role of the bride, and felt that she and Wang Mang were married this time, not Shi Xiuying.
When the two maids serving on the side heard this, they walked up to the newlyweds with two cups of tea.
Wang Mang and Shi Xiuying each took a cup and walked up to Wang Xianzhi and Shangguan Ningxuan again.
Wang Mang said to Wang Xianzhi: "Uncle, please use tea!" ”
Shi Xiuying said to Shangguan Ningxuan: "Sister-in-law, please use tea!" ”
Wang Xianzhi nodded with a smile, and was about to reach out to take the teacup and drink it.
At this time, a sudden change abruptly appeared, and a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the gate of the arena. The sudden laughter interrupted Wang Xianzhi's movements, and at the same time attracted all the hearts of everyone present.
After Wang Mang, Wang Xianzhi, Shangguan Ningxuan, Da Shan Yu and others heard the voice, they immediately knew who was coming from this laughter.
In a short time, eleven mermaids rushed in, and between their dragon and tiger steps, the unruly color was overflowing.
"Hahaha, Lord Wang is happy to get married, and the next official is one step late, and please atone for your sins." One of the eleven people who suddenly came in said coldly, "Lord Wang, you are so comfortable." Not to mention that there is no official, he is still so carefree, and he doesn't know that he will be out of office if he marries a good wife, this is your fault. ”
"It's you, Li Zhong!"
Wang Mang got up suddenly, his eyes were cold and lightning, and he glanced at the comer.
As far as he could see, except for three people who had never met, the others were all acquaintances.
These people are Ji Yun and the other eight Nine Sword Masters, as well as Li Zhong, Feng Yi, and Wang Hai, who Wang Mang never expected.
Of course, although Wang Mang didn't know the Four Elephant Sword Masters, he had already sensed their identities with the magic of the Heaven Sealing Sword.
Wang Mang said: "I am very happy to have friends from afar. Although I have the heart to become friends with you, we will work together for Kyushu and work for the well-being of the people. But you have ulterior motives to harm the people, so why should I send you an invitation to feast? ”
"Humph!" Feng Yi snorted coldly, "Wang Mang, you have already removed your official position earlier, but you are an idle cloud and wild crane. Isn't it too much for you to have such a big wedding now? These soldiers on the tower of the city are all soldiers of the country, and now you rely on your prestige to mobilize them wantonly, which is a great treacherous sin. ”
"Babbling, I don't know what to do." Wang Mang shouted: "Although I have no official position, many soldiers came to attend my wedding this time to maintain law and order, which is their own heart. Now you are making something out of nothing, spewing blood with blood, is this what you are saying as a Taifu? ”
Wang Xianzhi saw his son Wang Hai and Ji Yun and others mixing together, and his eyes erupted with fire: "Rebel, you are guilty of heinous crimes, and you are guilty of the following crimes, why don't you come over and die?" ”
Wang Hai said disdainfully: "Father, Wang Mang's cousin corrupted the ancestral industry, resulting in the loss of the six counties of Yuzhou. Now that I have taken refuge in the Ji family and revived the prestige of our Wang family, what am I guilty of?
It's you, you are wholeheartedly contributing to Wang Mang, but what did he give you? Back then, Wang Sheng's younger brother was in danger, and Wang Mang could obviously send troops to rescue him, but he disdained it. The death of his younger brother can be said to have been caused by Wang Mang. He is the murderer of my brother, and I vow revenge. ”
"Bastard." Wang Xianzhi shouted angrily.
Wang Mang said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, what is the purpose of your uninvited coming this time?" ”
Feng Yi said: "I don't have any purpose, I just came over to attend your wedding and watch a play by the way." ”
Li Zhongdao: "My purpose is very simple, Gongsun Ce was originally my subordinate adviser. But you have wrought your cunning, and you have caused him to rebel against me. Now as long as you hand him over, the grudge between you and me will be settled. If not, I will kill you. ”
Wang Mang shook his head and said: "Gongsun Ce's refuge in me is his own opinion, and you are looking for someone to me, but this is ridiculous." And if you hadn't bloodied the eight cities of Yuzhou and done inhumane things, why would he abandon you? You don't reflect on the demerits, but ask me for someone, which is unreasonable. Besides, now Gongsun Ce is an official in the imperial capital and is trusted by His Majesty. Shall I call him? ”
"So, are you unwilling to hand over Gongsun Ce?"
"It's not that I don't want to, it's really powerless. Besides, he is not my subordinate, he has the right to choose. Of course, you can also go to the imperial capital to consult with him yourself. If he is willing to submit to you, then I have no opinion. ”
