Chapter 248: The wedding banquet slapped in the face
Sushun is the chief military minister and controls the affairs of the imperial court. Monk Grinqin, the Mongol prince, commanded the last elite army capable of fighting in Manchu and Mongolia. The marriage of these two families can be said to be a good match, although the children of the two families are concubines, which also caused a sensation in the whole capital.
The pomp and circumstance on the wedding day is not comparable to ordinary people, Su Shunzheng won the emperor's favor, Xuan He was for a while, and the daughter-in-law he married was a Mongolian nobleman, so it was not a big special event?
Su Mansion is full of hundreds of tables of banquets and feasts for guests. Fresh shrimp, white chicken, duck, steamed fish and other delicacies are served at the banquet, as well as vegetables such as winter bamboo shoots, toon, swallow shoots, edamame, and lettuce. In the center of the wine table, there is a mellow wine, the banquet is very gorgeous, and the fragrance of osmanthus next to it wafts along the wind, which is in harmony with the food, and has a unique flavor.
Almost all the important ministers of the imperial court came, Prince Zheng, Prince Yi, and even Prince Gong, who had always been at odds with Su Shun, also came. According to the general situation, the marriage pomp of the children of the concubine will not be so big, but who makes Su Shunzheng favored, and he is married to the daughter of the monk family, and the ministers who generally want to be motivated take the opportunity to get close and pay tribute, which can be regarded as an investment in their future official career.
For this wedding banquet, Sufu invited hundreds of people to help outside, burning the fire and carrying water, stir-frying and cooking, the kitchen jingled, Kuang Kuang clanged, the servants shuttled back and forth between the courtyards, and the big and small housekeepers greeted the guests at the gate, the second gate, and the third gate, and took them to their respective locations.
Yang Xiaoshan was taken to the south hall, the hall was brilliantly lit, bright as day, and this hall was full of young people, young talents from various provinces. Yang Xiaoshan listened to their conversations, some of them were Jinshi of Su Saburo's contemporaries, some were brothers of the Su family, and some were promising young officials.
Yang Xiaoshan regretted coming here a little, they were all people he didn't know, and he didn't know what to talk about and what not to talk about, he had never participated in this kind of gathering of the upper class of the Qing court, and everyone else seemed to know each other, only he seemed to be isolated outside their circle.
"Brother Chang, Brother Chang." Just when Yang Xiaoshan was a little embarrassed, a voice greeted him beside him.
Yang Xiaoshan looked at the voice and immediately became happy, it turned out that it was Ding Baozhen who called him, "Brother Ding, you are here too." β
"Can you come, the head of the household department has designated that you must come, and I didn't want to come originally." Ding Baozhen was also very happy to see Yang Xiaoshan.
"Three sons, three sons." There was a sudden commotion in the hall, and it turned out that Su Saburo had come to toast everyone, and almost everyone gathered around.
Yang Xiaoshan didn't care, and he didn't want to squeeze into the crowd, so he chatted with Ding Baozhen outside the crowd.
Who knows that if you ignore others, others can ignore you. Su Saburo seemed to have discovered Yang Xiaoshan, pushed away the crowd, and walked towards Yang Xiaoshan. He grabbed his arm and shouted to everyone: "Let me introduce to you, this is Chang Shan, my future brother-in-law." β
Everyone's eyes lit up immediately, is this the son-in-law of a monk king again? It seems to be very raw. Everyone was thinking of coming over and smacking down on this son-in-law of the monk who had never seen him before.
Su Saburo then introduced: "Chang Shan has just been promoted by the monk king as a martial artist, and I will ask you to take care of it in the future." His words seemed to speak for Yang Xiaoshan, but in fact, he secretly belittled Yang Xiaoshan, a martial artist or a martial artist who was promoted.
The people who looked down on Yang Xiaoshan a few times just now immediately lowered Yang Xiaoshan's status in their hearts, most of them here were literati and scholars, and literati originally looked down on martial artists, let alone a martial artist who relied on nepotism.
Yang Xiaoshan immediately felt some strange eyes around him.
Su Saburo snorted coldly in his heart, he knew that this Yang Xiaoshan was originally the fiancΓ© of the second miss, so he felt uncomfortable, and he was entrusted by the second miss to show Yang Xiaoshan's ugliness, of course he couldn't ask for it, just to find an opportunity to lose Yang Xiaoshan's face. "People are going to join the monk's family, and if you want to play with him in the future, you have to go to the monk's mansion." Su Saburo said the word "in" very seriously.
The people present immediately understood what Su Saburo meant, it turned out that this Changshan and Su Saburo were not on the same road, and some sycophants immediately understood and let out a burst of boos. In these years, it is definitely a very shameful thing for a man to get rich, and no one will look down on him.
"I didn't expect to look like a talent, but he turned out to be a soft eater."
"Money? It's a shame for a man, it's too incompetent. β
"I guess I haven't read a book, and I don't know etiquette."
γγγγγγ
The people around pointed at Yang Xiaoshan and discussed.
At this time, Ding Baozhen couldn't help it, rushed up with an arrow step, and said loudly: "Do you know why he got into trouble? He is the grandson of the governor of Hubei, and their whole family is loyal to the country, and he is the only one who survives. He had a marriage contract with the monk's family, and he was originally γγγγγγ β
"Baozhen, don't say it, don't explain, I'm the son-in-law of the monk's family, this is a fact, but I didn't eat soft rice, believe it or not." Yang Xiaoshan also wanted to protect Ding Baozhen, and it would be unfavorable for him to confront Su Saburo in front of him in the future. I originally came to the Qing court to go undercover, so if I look down on it, I don't know it, it doesn't matter.
"What's so hilarious?" Su Shun and Seng Lingqin came over with Prince Zheng, Prince Yi, Prince Gong and a group of imperial relatives.
Everyone hurriedly knelt down and saluted, this is the most powerful group of people in the Great Qing Kingdom.
"This is my third son, Su Saburo." Su Shun pulled his third son and introduced him to the princes, "I hope you can help him a lot in the future." This is also the reason why Su Shun pulled everyone over, he wanted to pave the way for his son in the court.
"The third son is in his prime, he is a high school scholar at a young age, and his future is terrifying, and his future is not limited." Prince Yi was happy to be a favor, carried the sedan chair for Su Shun, and praised Su Saburo.
"San Lang is young and ignorant, I hope your uncles will mention it more, San Lang is here to salute the uncles." Su Saburo was also very discerning, knowing that his father was lifting himself, he hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.
Su Shun laughed, patted his son's shoulder with satisfaction, and said loudly: "Today is a good day, there are so many young talents in the hall, why don't you take this opportunity to find something in the hall to compose poems and lyrics, and enliven the atmosphere?" β
Everyone applauded and said that Master Su had a good idea. At this time, everyone has a number, this is Su Shun wants his son to show his literary talent, so Su Shun invited a few very talented guests, and everyone deliberately humbled and shirked it.
At this time, Su Saburo had an idea, pulled Yang Xiaoshan, and said loudly: "Chang Gongzi is both civil and military, and he is quite appreciated by the monk king, how about letting him compose a song?" β
