Chapter 1143: Greeting
Although He An and Lin Yi have never welcomed each other, they also know a lot about many things, and they have also made a lot of preparations for the events of the day, so as to help Ji Ning do it beautifully.
"Master, everything that should be prepared is ready, you see, this is today's gift list, as well as the specific matters of today's greeting, you see if there is a problem." He An, as the chief housekeeper in the Ji Mansion, was the chief dispatcher of the day's affairs, and even Lin Yi had to listen to his dispatch.
Ji Ning read the list, nodded with satisfaction: "That's it, Uncle An, you stay in the mansion, be responsible for receiving guests, let Lin Er go to the Li Mansion with me, don't make today's marriage too grand, just plain past, by the way, you must be optimistic about the door of the inner house, don't let people break in, and besides, there will be people in the Confucian Temple to protect my safety in the dark today, and you don't have to worry too much about security." ”
"Yes, yes, everything is arranged by the master." He An's title to Ji Ning has changed, he used to always call him the young master, but now Ji Ning is getting married, that is, the lord of the mansion, and the title is also specially explained by He An and Yu Ling.
Lin Yi is also obedient to Ji Ning, he is responsible for following Ji Ning to the Li Mansion to greet the relatives, and the line to welcome the relatives is very long, in addition to the eight sedan chairs prepared for the bride, there are also horses specially prepared for Ji Ning, and there are several carriages with some gifts in the back, these gifts are not for engagement, the dowry has been a lot before, this time it is purely a gift to the Li Mansion in the greeting, it is also a kind of gift exchange, and the Li Mansion must also prepare a dowry for Li Xiuer.
If in principle, it must be like this, but after all, Li Xiu'er's situation is a bit special, Li Xiu'er is not in the Li Mansion, Ji Ning knows that Zhao Yuanrong should make some reasonable arrangements, as for how to deal with it in the end, it depends on Zhao Yuanrong's arrangement, but Ji Ning believes that Zhao Yuanrong should not embarrass him in this matter, after all, it was once a husband and wife, if Zhao Yuanrong is so small-bellied, Ji Ning can only say that he has seen the wrong person.
There are a large number of people in the team to welcome relatives, there are more than a dozen carriages alone, after Ji Ning changed his clothes, he got on the tall horse, and he also looked heroic when he rode on the horse, and the guards sent by the Temple of Literature were also protected by him, in addition, Lin Yi also called the good hands in the giant whale gang, and he could also help Ji Ning at any time.
……
……
Before the procession arrived at the gate of the Li Mansion, there were many onlookers along the way, after all, they all knew that this was the emperor's marriage, and it also involved the marriage of a scholar of the Confucian Temple and a member of the court.
This marriage was very sensational, and the people in the entire capital seemed to know, and the people in the court and the Confucian Temple came out to congratulate, but the people in the court went to Li Jing's mansion, and the people in the Confucian Temple basically went to the Ji Mansion, and there will be a grand luncheon in the Ji Mansion after that.
Ji Ning arrived in front of the Li Mansion, the car driving team escorted by the Imperial Forest Army and Zhao Yuanrong's female dead soldiers had also arrived, Ji Ning got off the horse, and the people in the court also came to salute, many people Ji Ning didn't know, but Ji Ning vaguely knew that these people should have a great relationship with their own in-laws, that is, the Li family, many of them are from the household department, Li Jing is about to become the head of the household department, and there are many people in the court who come to talk to him, as for the rest of the people from the yamen, they will also send people.
Ji Ning, a bachelor of the Temple of Literature, although his status is not low, but there is still some status gap between him and a household servant, after all, Ji Ning has not mixed up with a very high status in the Confucian Temple, being a bachelor, it is like being a third- or fourth-grade official in the court, and the waiter is actually almost the same, but he just doesn't have as much power as the waiter.
Li Jing, as the woman's father, stood at the door of his house and was responsible for sending off his relatives, and when he saw Ji Ning, his face was also very indifferent, which was also related to the fact that this marriage was not led by him.
The emperor sent people to the Li Mansion, and didn't even let Li Xiu'er enter the mansion, and after Ji Ning arrived, he directly handed the person over to Ji Ning and finished the matter, which is equivalent to saying that the emperor did not approve of Li Jing as a courtier, and was afraid that Li Jing would play any tricks from it, Li Jing could naturally tell that the emperor trusted Ji Ning more, which made him very annoyed, but he didn't have a way, after all, Ji Ning is also a bachelor of the Confucian Temple, not a courtier, and he can't control Ji Ning.
"Bachelor Ji, congratulations." A bunch of congratulatory people came to greet Ji Ning, and many people were also envious, Ji Ning could get the emperor's marriage, although Zhao Yuanrong didn't want people to know about this matter, and Li Jing also wanted to pretend that he was married to Ji Ning, but in fact, there was a rumor in the court for a long time, and he learned that Ji Ning had been given the emperor's marriage.
Before a scholar of the Temple of Literature was assassinated, many people still thought it was incredible, but now many people seem to have figured it out, Ji Ning still has a lot of unique conditions that they don't have, that is, the relationship between Ji Ning and the new emperor.
Ji Ning also responded to these congratulations one by one, Li Jing walked over, and the two of them were also officially saluted in front of people, Li Jing had some arrogance on his face, and said with a smile: "Bachelor Ji will treat the little girl well in the future, and the little girl will be entrusted to you in the future." ”
This is very stereotypical, and Ji Ning didn't correct anything, now Li Jing is not looking for trouble, and Ji Ning has already burned high incense.
Soon, the imperial forest army of the imperial court also sent the carriage carrying Li Xiu'er over, Ji Ning glanced at the carriage, the outside of the carriage was locked, Ji Ning still frowned slightly, this situation seemed to surprise him.
"Okay, the wedding is about to begin, Mr. Ji, we should also go." The matchmaker was very enthusiastic and came to say hello, Ji Ning estimated that the matchmaker also wanted to end it early, so that she could also get her own share of the reward, but this was also in line with Ji Ning's mind, he didn't want to have too much communication with Li Jing, and he didn't have much of a good impression of Li Jing.
"Li Shilang, I'm leaving." Ji Ning saluted.
Even if Li Jing was reluctant, he still had to send Ji Ning off, and everyone present saw Ji Ning get on the horse, and in the sound of firecrackers, Ji Ning also left the Li Mansion with the carriage that Zhao Yuanrong sent off.
A group of people were watching, and Ji Ning's side must always pay attention to the possible assassination, but it seems that he is too careful, but the assassin has never shown up, and after about half an hour, the team slowly returned to the door of Jifu, and the sound of firecrackers on Jifu's side also started immediately.
"The bride is here!" A group of people began to flock out, most of them were Ji Ning's colleagues, and these people also came to join in the fun.
