Chapter 294: Luoyang welcomes relatives
"Then thank you for the history of Dun Thorn, later Ben Hou will hold a banquet in Taibai Building, and please come, if you are free, please also come to enjoy your face." After Cai Cong finished speaking to Dunshi and the squire, he turned around and ordered Fang Yuan to remove the dowry from the ship.
Only then did everyone know what it meant to be rich and rival the country, not to mention the silk and satin, a cart of rare treasures blocked the dock, and everyone's eyes were red, if it weren't for the murderous eyes of the surrounding guards, maybe someone would go up and rob them.
"Cai Hou is really extraordinary, I'm afraid these dowries are no less than 100,000 yuan, right?" Stocky asked with hot eyes, he had already guessed it with the boldness, but he still guessed wrong, Fang Yuan, who was standing behind Cai Cong, smiled proudly and said, "If this dowry is considered a rare treasure, it is worth no less than 200,000 yuan." ”
There was a sound of inhalation around him, Cai Cong frowned, he didn't like to show off like this, Fang Yuan stuck out his tongue and stood behind him obediently, not daring to speak.
In Zheng's mansion, Zheng Renji and his wife looked at their daughter in full costume, silently wiping away tears, and this time they would see each other in the distant future.
"O daughter! The Hou Mansion is a wealthy family, and after you get married, you must be filial to your in-laws and serve a good husband. The family is small, and it can't help you or anything. Zheng Renji said with good intentions, and his wife was holding her daughter's hand and wiping her tears.
Zheng Renji sighed, when the officials of the Ministry of Rites came, Ma Wei showed that Cai Fu had an opinion on his daughter, after all, his daughter was a family!
"Daddy, don't worry, my daughter knows. Just thinking that she couldn't serve her father and mother, her daughter broke her liver and intestines, and her daughter kowtowed to your second elder. Zheng said that he knelt on the ground to kowtow, and was pulled by the two of them, but the beautiful bridal makeup of the girl had just been dressed up, and it would be bad if it was messed up.
"Master, master, the porter has come to report that the new aunt has arrived on the street, and will come to the house soon." The housekeeper shouted in a hurry, Zheng Renji's heart tightened, and he flicked his sleeves and said in a rough voice: "Come on, what kind of system is it that you are panicking?" Open the middle door and let the eldest young master greet him. ”
"Master, that's the world's famous marquis, aren't you going?"
"Shut up, what about the eldest marquis? is not the old man's son-in-law, the old man went to the church and waited for him to come and greet me. Zheng Renji said and walked to the lobby with his legs raised, and the housekeeper followed him with his head down, and clearly saw that his master's legs were shaking like convulsions, and he almost didn't laugh.
Such a long greeting procession in Luoyang has not appeared for many years, hundreds of people on the street are watching, children follow Cai Cong's horse, saying pleasing words, Fang Yuan ordered people to carry a few baskets of copper coins and throw them along the way, passers-by have to rob, and the words of blessing are rolling like a tide.
The lights were displayed outside the door of Zheng's house, and when they saw Cai Cong's team coming, the firecrackers were banging, and they were beaming. Cai Cong turned over and dismounted and came to the door to report to his home, and the official sang a speech to show that the daughter of the Zheng family was virtuous, and Cai Cong came to marry.
Zheng Renji's eldest son Zheng Xuanyi held Cai Cong's hand reservedly and welcomed Cai Cong into the mansion, he couldn't be too distracted, otherwise people watching the excitement would think that their Zheng family was climbing, even if it was actually climbing, but it couldn't be expressed like this.
After entering the Zheng family, Cai Cong's every move became a marionette, and the ceremonial officer knelt when he said he knelt, and he toasted when he said toast. finally came to the boudoir, and the three aunts and seven women holding a big stick and a wooden hammer made Cai Cong in a trance.
If you want to be beaten all the way, who knows how heavy this group of women will be! This bad habit should be canceled as soon as possible, what if it breaks people? Fortunately, this group of women also knew the severity of their hands and didn't dare to be too ruthless, picking Cai Cong's meaty place to beat, causing pain but not injury.
Originally, there was an open-door poem, but this link was omitted, firstly, because there was not enough time, and secondly, the daughter of the Zheng family finally got married.
Zheng Xuanyi carried his sister out, Cai Cong took the red belt in front, Zheng Renji and his family cried in the back, but they didn't make a sound at all, now they don't ask for anything, they just want their daughter to marry a good person, and they can live happily in the rest of their lives.
The distance of the back is that the bride's feet can't touch the ground, and she carries it all the way to the sedan chair, the curtain blocks the bride's figure, and Cai Cong doesn't know what the bride looks like.
"O virtuous son-in-law! The old man's daughter has a bad fate, and now she can find a husband like you, which is really her blessing. The old man didn't dare to ask for anything, he just asked for the love of your husband and wife, and they grew old together. Today I entrust this girl to you. ”
Zheng Renji choked up and said, he didn't expect Cai Cong to take care of his sons, as long as he was good to his daughter, he would be content.
"Please rest assured that since the son-in-law has married his wife, he will definitely spoil her, love her, and make her happy every day." Cai Cong said seriously, Zheng Renji and his wife smiled with satisfaction, I didn't expect Cai Cong to say it so generously, such explicit words, it seems that his daughter will have a place in the future.
"It's not early, so let's go! Don't delay the hour, the old man won't keep you to eat. Zheng Renji said briskly, he was afraid that Cai Cong was forced to marry his daughter by holy decree, and now it seems that this is not the case.
Cai Cong turned over and got on the horse after saluting the second elder, Zheng Renji was comfortable, and he was relieved to know that his son-in-law was better than rumored. After a while, he went to Taibai Mansion to have dinner with officials such as Thorn Shi, and he spoke with more confidence, and his son-in-law was the most blessed Marquis of Chang'an.
Zheng Renji didn't get drunk in the end Cai Cong didn't know, back on the fleet, the officials of the Ministry of Rites actually put the bride on another boat, Cai Cong wanted to go up to have a look, but was hugged by the official of the ceremony, saying that he couldn't break the rules, and the maid who accompanied the marriage crossed her waist and stood at the bow of the boat to prevent Cai Cong like a thief.
made Cai Cong depressed to death, so he went all the way to Chang'an, and then to Honglu Temple, Cai Cong never saw the bride, and he didn't even hear the voice.
When he returned to the Hou Mansion, Li Chengqian and Cheng Chumo had already drunk at his house, and when they saw him come in, they asked him with a smile what the bride looked like.
Can Cai Cong say that he has not met? desperately boasted about how her mother-in-law was as beautiful as a flower, and she was captivating the country and the city. It was so loud that he almost believed it.
Everyone pointed at him and laughed, they were not stupid, the ceremonial officer said that it was impossible for him to peek at the bride in the middle of the road, and brag to them, this cowhide iron must be broken.
Cai Cong was so ashamed that he almost got under the table, and these bastards set up an ambush waiting for him! This time it's a big shame.
Carrying the largest wine jar at once, he ordered someone to bring the largest bowl, and one person came to a big bowl first, and in less than two hours, everyone fell down, and Cai Cong ordered someone to send them back to their respective mansions.
saw Li Chengqian, who was still drunk and hazy just now, sitting very soberly and drinking tea.
"Yes! The amount of alcohol has grown. ”
"Nonsense, we both drink water, who doesn't know who?" Li Chengqian had already discovered that the wine bowls Xu Jie gave to Cai Cong were all taken out of the secret compartment under the table, so he naturally asked Xu Jie to bring him water.
