Chapter 8: The Wedding Banquet (I)
Yuan Yun turned around the bronze mirror several times, and then smiled with satisfaction, since he was fourteen or fifteen years old, he has been paying great attention to his nutritional supplements, as well as various physical fitness exercises, and now he is finally eighteen years old, and this body finally has a qualified appearance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I puffed out my biceps, and in an instant, a lump of meat came out, and I was very satisfied.
After inhaling, I was satisfied with squeezing out four or five less obvious abs.
Straightened the chest, the inverted triangle is definitely not, but the shallow two chest arcs are still very beautiful and very satisfied.
Looking at Yuan Yun, who had been fiddling around in front of the bronze mirror, Cao Jie was very puzzled, so he grabbed Guo Yi beside him and asked suspiciously: "Brother-in-law, what's wrong?" It can't be evil, right? ”
Guo Yi also glanced inside the room on tiptoe, and then replied angrily: "In two days, Brother Yuan will have a round house with Sister Wen Ji and Sister Qinghe, it is estimated that he is inspecting his figure, if he goes crazy immediately, it will be a shame." ”
Cao Jie was puzzled for a while and asked, "What do you mean to be crazy right away?" ”
Guo Yi opened his mouth, and suddenly found that he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't have said, so he hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't answer.
This immediately made Cao Jie furious, so he lifted his foot and was about to kick someone, Guo Yi shouted, and jumped out neatly, ready to run as far as he could.
The two little guys were crazy and fussy, chasing them until they reached the edge of the courtyard wall that collapsed before, at this time this place has become a flower platform, Cai Wenji will come here every day to take care of the flowers and plants, so this has become a place where she must come every day.
Looking at the foundation of the courtyard wall, Cai Wenji was still a little blushing and heartbeat, constantly complaining, why did he just bump into Yuan Yun that day, how can this make people live in the future?
When the two little guys were crazy, Cai Wenji, who was using a small shovel to get soil, became angry, and carried the ears of the two villains until they reached the flower table, and then said unhappily: "Why do you like to mess around, why do you always kick Guo Yi, Sister Jie?" ”
Cao Jie glared at Guo Yi viciously, and then replied: "He said a word, I asked him, but he didn't tell me what he meant, so I was angry and wanted to beat him." ”
Cai Wenji was stunned and wondered: "What word, you ask my sister and I will." ”
Guo Yi was shocked, and was about to interrupt Cao Jie's words, but he was still a step slow.
I only heard Cao Jie say loudly: "Guo Yi said that my brother-in-law is likely to go crazy immediately." ”
Punished for copying 100 large characters, for this punishment, Guo Yi shouted unlucky, but Cao Jie shouted that she was wronged, because she was completely implicated by Guo Yi, but seeing Sister Wen Ji was so angry that her face turned red for the first time, it was also a terrible experience, so if she didn't do it honestly, she always felt that she would be picked up on the spot.
Cai Wenji hid in the house with her cheeks blushing, she hadn't gone out for a day, which made Cao Qinghe very puzzled, and worried that she was sick, but she couldn't open the door no matter how she called, so soon this worry also became Yuan Yun's worry.
Knocking on the door, Yuan Yun smiled and said, "Wen Ji, open the door quickly, I'm here to see you." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an exclamation from inside the house, and it was quiet again in an instant, Yuan Yun felt that it was very inappropriate, and let Shi Shen break into the door without saying a word.
When I got to the door, I found that Cai Wenji was curled up on the bed in a daze, and when she saw him Yuan Yun come in, her face immediately turned red, and she didn't know what was wrong with her?
"Out, out, out, Yan doesn't want to see ...... See you Yuan Lang. Cai Wenji exclaimed.
Yuan Yun buckled his chin, and couldn't guess what Cai Wenji was crazy about, but walked a few steps closer, which made Cai Wenji frown, and shouted louder: "Get out!" ”
With such a high voice, it is estimated that it has broken through Cai Wenji's limit, and the sharp voice spread far away, and the people in the whole room couldn't help but want to cover their ears.
Yuan Yun sighed secretly, he really didn't know why, but he didn't dare to approach again, so he could only prepare to withdraw stupidly, but at this time he found Cao Jie and Guo Yi running in.
As soon as Cao Jie saw the situation in the house, he said without thinking about it: "It turns out that this is going crazy right away!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole room could not live.
……
Yuan Fang's current life can almost be described as perfect, after taking a break from the Dong family, he didn't plan to marry a wife, but took eight concubines, hiding in his backyard every day to enjoy, whether it is land or money in his hands, he is slowly growing, which is simply something he can't dream of.
What makes Yuan Fang even happier is that this kind of life of eating and waiting for death is still face-saving, and now those wealthy nobles in Xudu will stop the frame and say a few words to each other when they see each other on the street.
This was unthinkable in the past, in the past, when Yuan Fang was the head of the family himself, he saw that these nobles even had to get off the car and bow down, but today he can sit on an equal footing, which makes him feel that he has stepped into the threshold of a high-ranking family, and he is also a standard person.
The only thing that worries Yuan Fang is Yuan Yun, after all, he is too young, he was named Hou at a young age, and he also married the eldest daughter of the Cao family, once this person swells up, something will definitely happen, so today I must take advantage of the wedding banquet to warn this clansman.
The former head of the family still has to put it on the shelf, and there is no need to worry about offending this Hou Ye, because Yuan Mansion or Feng Xuan has the final say, this Yuan Yun is just a chess piece in Feng Xuan's hand, so as long as you are cautious about Feng Xuan, others don't have to worry.
The scale of the wedding banquet is very large, and now the front yard of Yuan's mansion is full of large round tables, Yuan Fang has a headache when he sees the round table, this is just nonsense, so how can he show his identity as a master regardless of priority and dignity?
What the?! Is your seat arranged in the inner hall?
This is not good, Cao Cao is going to be entertained in the inner hall tonight, that is the commonplace of the imperial court, not to mention that the Son of Heaven has to give him three points, he is just an official of the East Gate, this identity is too bad.
Yuan Fang was a little apprehensive, thinking that when he was going to face Cao Cao, every piece of meat on his body was beating, eager to try, and worried to death.
At this time, the housekeeper Zhang Xiang happened to pass by, and Yuan Fang grabbed him, and then asked as the owner: "Zhang Xiang, you have been in our Yuan family for several years, has your life changed a lot now?" This can only be done in the heart of a grateful heart. ”
Zhang Xiang hurriedly saluted and said with a smile: "Yes, the Yuan family is definitely the best family in Xu Du, and it is really hard to be the head of the family." ”
Yuan Fang didn't know that the head of the family Zhang Xiang was referring to was Yuan Yun, so he was very proud and straightened his chest again, and then continued: "Yes, a servant like you is sensible, not like those white-eyed wolves, eating our Yuan's, and showing others a look." ”
While Yuan Fang spoke, he looked at Shi Shen, who was receiving guests at the door, and then snorted heavily.
Zhang Xiang continued to laugh and said: "Yes, yes, you always say yes, your position is arranged in the inner hall, why don't you take you in?" ”
Yuan Fang shuddered, and hurriedly stopped: "Wait, let me ask you, the seat in this inner hall was arranged by Feng Xuan?" ”
Zhang Xiang arched his hand and said: "It was arranged by Miss Feng Xuan, and Yuan Hou basically didn't ask about these things." ”
Yuan Fang smiled, how can Yuan Yun's puppet manage these things, it must be Feng Xuan, a powerful figure, who is in charge, after handing over the position of head of the family, although he is occasionally a little unwilling, but when he thinks about it, he is indeed inferior to Feng Xuan.
Now under her care, the Yuan family is already a prominent family in Xudu, and even the new city outside the east city has heard that it has shares of the Yuan family, not to mention the marriage with the Cao family, and the future prosperity is just around the corner.
After thinking about it, Yuan Fang patted Zhang Xiang's shoulder, and then said with a smile: "Zhang Xiang, you are a good fate, as soon as you come, you will catch up with the prosperity of our Yuan family, and you must abide by your duty in the future, okay, don't talk about this, since it is the seat arranged by Feng Xuan, then I will go to the inner hall and take a seat, and I can talk to Cao Sikong about the cup, hehe." ”
Zhang Xiang, the housekeeper, is still good, and he has been respectfully sending himself into the inner hall, but now the inner hall is really empty, as if he is the only one who arrived first.
Yuan Fang looked at the huge inner hall and felt a little helpless, feeling that he had come too early, so that he seemed to be very anxious, and his identity fell behind.
But in an instant, he laughed, the people seated here tonight must be the celebrities around Cao Sikong, which one is not more noble than himself, he came to welcome the guests earlier, it can be regarded as a courtesy, this is what the host should do.
Thinking of this, Yuan Fang glanced left and right, and found that there was no one, so he got up quietly, and then slowly came to the main seat of this inner hall.
Suddenly, a hint of smugness flashed on Yuan Fang's face, and then he looked left and right, but there was still no one, so he carefully bent down, ready to sit in this main seat, this is a rare opportunity, he can sit in Cao Cao's position, oops, thinking about it, I feel like I am going to be killed, but it is quite exciting and very tempting.
Just as Yuan Fang was about to sit down, he suddenly heard a few words of laughter from outside the door of the inner hall, and he was so frightened that he stood up from his position with a roll, and then grabbed the cuffs and began to wipe them on the table of the main seat, muttering in his mouth: "How do these subordinates work, there is still some dust here, not to mention that it is clean." ”
Guo Jia was the first to get in, and found that someone was wiping the table on the main seat, and immediately smiled at Xu Chu beside him: "The subordinates of the Yuan Mansion are fine, General Xu Chu, you see how clean it is here." ”
Xu Chu smiled, found a place casually and sat down, and immediately shouted at Yuan Fang: "Go and get the wine, Lao Tzu and Guo Jiajun are going to do a jar now, the Yuan family's wine is famously good, hurry up." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiahoudun behind him kicked Xu Chu, who was sitting, very unhappily, and then scolded: "Tiger idiot, get up, the first place in this left hand is reserved for Mr. Xun Yu, and I, Xiahoudun, have to sit with him, how can you dare to be the head of Lao Tzu?" ”
As soon as Xiahoudun finished speaking, Xu Chu jumped up, grabbed the other party's neckline and prepared to wrestle, while Guo Jia sat leisurely on the side, and then smiled and watched the two generals fight.
Yuan Fang has been completely stupefied, these three people are the most important three under Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xiahoudun, Xu Chu, no matter which one is extremely noble, he doesn't mind Xu Chu treating him as a subordinate at all, but because he was commanded by the other party, he feels extremely honored.
When Yuan Fang was about to retreat, he suddenly heard Guo Jia say: "Yuan Hou is really a capable person, he has a big family in just a few years, and the Yuan family has him, which is really a blessing." ”
Yuan Fang lowered his head and laughed secretly, where do these people know the truth, it's not Feng Xuan Zhangluo, that little boy Yuan Yun is a fart, but these seem to be known only to himself, I Yuan Fang will not tell you this kind of superiority.
Hurriedly ran out of the inner hall, Yuan Fang immediately ordered a maid to deliver wine, and he gasped and went to the outer courtyard, and then made a decision, he must not enter the inner hall tonight to sit down, just squeeze the big round table outside.
The three of them just now made him breathless, if he saw Cao Cao again tonight, Yuan Fang would definitely feel that he would definitely die inside, for the sake of his life, it was safe to squeeze the big round table outside, so it was decided.
……
Thinking of the 'go crazy immediately' incident a few days ago, Yuan Yun felt a little weak, it was the first time he saw Cai Wenji's violent posture, which could be described as earth-shattering, and when he thought of Cao Jie's unscrupulous words at that time, he could only smile bitterly.
It was also from that day that he was restricted from going to the back house, and until today's wedding banquet, he never saw Cai Wenji and Cao Qinghe again.
"I'm unlucky, anyway, sooner or later I have to sleep in the same bed with Lao Tzu, why are you so ashamed to answer?" Yuan Yun muttered, and immediately looked around nervously, if Cai Wenji heard, ho, this cave room is estimated to be lively tonight.
Originally, under the arrangement of the Bian family, today was the wedding banquet to marry Cai Wenji, the future head of the Yuan Mansion, Cao Qinghe had to be postponed by one day, and Liu Yiyi was even later.
But the old man Zheng Xuan, who had just recovered from a serious illness, first quit, saying that these annoying rules and regulations were really hateful, so with a stroke of the pen, the names of Cai Wenji, Cao Qinghe, and Liu Yiyi were all written on the banner, and he also let his subordinates hang them on the highest place in the front yard of Yuan's mansion.
With a respected Confucian like Zheng Xuan nodding and agreeing, then anything unreasonable in terms of etiquette has become an absolutely correct existence.
So today Yuan Yun is going to marry three wives in one go, as for how to round the house at night, it seems that no one cares at all except Yuan Yun.
"The peach is dying, scorching its bloom. The son of Yu Gui, the ...... of his room" Zheng Xuan, who was in charge of the ceremony, was dressed in a straight robe, holding a scroll in his hand, and chanted the praise melodiously.
Then Yuan Yun painfully found that he married three wives at the same time, so he had to drink the bitter wine contained in three gourds at the same time at the ceremony, which was really bitter.
It wasn't until he personally untied the engagement tokens on the buns of the three brides, the red "tassels", and then held them high in the air to show them to the guests, that Yuan Yun got a chance to breathe.
"The dross of feudalism!" Yuan Yun muttered again.
But in an instant, he smiled and said, "But, Lao Tzu likes it!" ”
Originally, it was a casual celebration for his family, but who knew that tonight's banquet would become such a big pomp.
A few days ago, the eldest sister Feng Xuan sent Cai Wenji and Cao Qinghe back to Cao Mansion, and even Liu Yiyi was not spared, because he was a disciple of the Bian family, so he was also sent to Cao Mansion.
Then the eldest sister tossed again according to the 'six rites', Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, invitation, and greeting, every step was taken over again.
Then He Yan transferred a large number of the most exquisite cars, selected a large number of servants in the mansion dressed in colorful clothes, and brought back these three flower-like beauties again.
The whole process of welcoming relatives is very huge, so that almost all the people in Xu Du have heard the news, and the crowd of onlookers is unprecedented, and only the triumph of the army will have such treatment.
For such a big scene, Cao Ren impeached Cao Cao, saying that Yuan Yun had overstepped, Cao Cao only frowned after hearing this, and then pointed to the most gorgeous car and said: "There are the two daughters of the old man, and the girl Yiyi is also regarded by the Bian family as her own, what is Zixiao's dissatisfaction?" ”
One sentence choked Cao Ren half to death, and he just wanted to slap himself, he really didn't bring his brains out today, but this kind of thing would make Cao Cao unhappy.
