Volume II, Chapter 31, Cousin Shu De Shang
The wedding between the Xianbei nobles was originally very simple, as long as the groom sent enough cattle and sheep as a dowry when marrying, after the sinicization, some nobles sometimes also carried out according to the six rites stipulated by the Han people, Yang Tian was just engaged, according to the ancient rites, it must be carried out first, ask the name, Naji, and Nazheng, and the rest of the invitation and welcome are set after a year.
Because it was a wedding set by the Dugu clan and Mrs. Yuanjia personally, the previous three items of Nacai, Wenming, and Naji were omitted, but the one item of Nazheng had to be carried out by Yang Tian himself.
A few days later, Yang Tian took Luo Yi, Yang Miao, and a large team of family members and guards, and carried all kinds of gifts selected by the Dugu clan to Yuanfu. Seeing Yang Tian come to the door, Yuan Xiaoju and his wife were very affectionate, and welcomed Yang Tian and his party to the hall, and there were dozens of large boxes of gifts prepared by the Guogong Mansion, which almost made the front hall of the Yuan Mansion unable to put their feet.
Knowing that his uncle came to the door, the servants of the Yuan Mansion came up to watch intentionally or unintentionally, pointing at Yang Tian and his party, Yang Tian has been practicing martial arts diligently in the past few years, and his figure is comparable to that of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, with all the muscles of the body, and a heroic face, for this son-in-law, the Yuan Mansion is very satisfied.
In the middle, the Yuan Mansion left Yang Tian for lunch, Yang Tian thought that he had the opportunity to see his fiancée, but he didn't expect that except for the little trembling movement behind the screen when he met Yuan Xiaoju and his wife, Yang Tian didn't even see the shadow of Miss Yuanfu, which made Yang Tian quite depressed.
Yang Tianben came to the Yuan family to return to the barracks after giving gifts, but it was about to go to the Double Ninth Festival, so he had to stay at home, in previous years, the princes and ministers of the Double Ninth Festival were reunited as a family, and the day of climbing to appreciate the chrysanthemum, this year's Double Ninth Festival is a bit special, the emperor wants to hold a grand banquet in the palace, and all the three products in Beijing, or the Yun Gui with the title above the marquis must participate, and even the wife must be brought together.
There is nothing for officials above the third grade or above the marquis to participate in the banquet, but the designated lady also has to participate in this article is a bit special, the emperor holds a banquet, and the noble lady with a decree can participate, but there is nothing to attend, but the emperor behaves strangely, and no one dares to disobey the decree when he receives the will.
The emperor's banquet was in the evening, on the day of the Double Ninth Festival, as soon as the unitary time arrived, Yang Tian rushed to the palace by carriage with Yang Jian and Dugu, outside the palace gate, it was already crowded with Yun Gui ministers who came to participate in the banquet, and the noblewomen who dressed up for tricks, those ministers saw Yang Jian, and they all bowed their hands one by one, Yang Tian stood behind his parents, and also received the praise of countless people.
Although Yang Tian is the Hou Ye, and the hussar general, but has never been to the court, the princes and ministers do not know, Yang Jian took the opportunity to introduce Yang Tian one by one, the most famous of the Great Zhou Yungui is the Western Wei Dynasty of the Eight Pillars, one of the pillar countries has the Great Zhou Taizu Yuwentai, the remaining seven people are Yuan Xin, Li Hu, Li Bi, Zhao Gui, Yu Jin, Dugu Xin, Hou Mo Chen Chong, it is these eight people who completed the transformation of the Western Wei Dynasty to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Now the Eight Pillars of the Kingdom except for one Yu Jin, are no longer alive, among which Zhao Gui, Hou Mo and Chen Chong were killed by Yuwen Hu, and the descendants of the rest of the Pillar Kingdom are deeply rooted in the Great Zhou, only Li Hu died before Zhou usurped Wei, and his son Li Bing also died six years ago, leaving Li Yuan, who was seven years old at the time, to take the title of Duke of Tang.
However, Li Yuan is not alone, under the Eight Pillars Kingdom, Li Yuan, one of the twelve generals, was also born in the Li family of Chengji in Longxi, and the current Zhu State Li Mu also has a very close relationship with the Li family, plus Li Yuan's mother is the daughter of Dugu Xin, and Dugu Jialuo, the Duchess of Suiguo, is a sister, although the Li family is an orphan and widow, no one dares to bully.
Li Yuan and Yang Tian are the same age, but although he is a prince of the country, he has no real power now, he also participated in this banquet, and when he saw Yang Jian and his wife coming, he hurriedly came over to say goodbye, calling him uncle and aunt.
When his father Li Shan was there, Li Yuan had more contacts with the Yang family, and Li Yuan and Yang Yong were also more familiar, but after Li Shan's death, Li Yuan inherited the title of Duke of Tang at a young age, and had less contact with the Yang family.
Hearing that the young man in front of him was Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, Yang Tian's eyes kept staring, Li Yuan's height was slightly shorter than Yang Tian, I don't know if it was because he was in charge of the family since he was a child, the beard on Li Yuan's chin had grown, and he looked young and old.
Seeing Yang Tian staring at him, Li Yuan looked a little surprised, and waved to Yang Tiantuan: "Shude greets the world brother." ”
Hearing Li Yuan's self-proclaimedness, Yang Tian almost laughed wildly in his heart, Shude, virtuous Shude, it turned out that Li Yuan actually had the same word as a woman, but Yang Tian didn't know that when Emperor Yang of Sui, there was a proverb that circulated, "Yang flowers fall, Li flowers bloom; Peach and plum, there is the world. In order to protect himself, Li Yuan looked forward and backwards, a bit of a mother-in-law, and because Li Yuan's words were feminine, Yang Guang gave Li Yuan the nickname of a grandmother, and he didn't take Li Yuan to heart. and killed Li Hun, the commander of the forbidden army at that time.
Seeing that the corners of Yang Tian's mouth were full of smiles, but he didn't reply, Li Yuan was a little embarrassed, although the two had a good time when they were children, they hadn't seen each other for several years, and their friendship naturally faded, of course he wouldn't have thought that the Yang Yong in front of him was no longer the previous Yang Yong, but a different person.
Seeing that Yang Tian ignored Li Yuan, the Dugu clan thought that Yang Tian looked down on Li Yuan without a father, and was a little displeased, so he couldn't help but push Yang Tian: "Cut down the land, and don't return the gift to your cousin." ”
Yang Tian reacted and grabbed Li Yuan's hand: "It turned out to be my cousin, I haven't seen him for a few years, my cousin looks so heroic, I almost can't recognize it." ”
Yang Jian and his wife suddenly realized that this was the case, Li Yuan was not used to being so close to him, but seeing his cousin's true feelings, it was not easy to shake Yang Tian's hand away, but he was a little moved: "My cousin is already a hussar general, but Shude has no position, Shude should congratulate his cousin." ”
Yang Tian immediately said: "This is easy to do, it is better to come to my Xuanlong Army, and I will find a good position for my cousin." But he thought in his heart, if Li Yuan really arrived in the Xuanlong Army, would he use him or find an opportunity to kill him. After thinking about it, it is better to get rid of the idea of killing Li Yuan, if he wins in the future battle, he will naturally not give Li Yuan a chance, if he fails, then don't worry so much, Li Yuan is better than others to win the world.
Seeing Yang Tian so enthusiastic, Li Yuan was a little moved, although he was a national prince, but he was only an empty title, if he could serve in Yang Tianjun, with the Yang family to take care of him, he would not worry about a bad career in the future, but in this way, he would definitely be honored with the Yang family in the future, and he would be a loss, and Li Yuan was a little hesitant.
