Today is the day of Zhao Zongxuan's wedding, so Chen Yan and Di Yong came to Zhao Zongxuan's mansion early in the morning. At this time, Zhao Zongxuan had already put on the auspicious clothes, and was carrying out a simple ancestor worship ceremony with his father Zhao Yunxian in front of the ancestral tablet.

After all the ceremonies were completed, Zhao Zongxuan walked out of the courtyard and came to the main entrance. The team to welcome the relatives has already been prepared, just waiting for Zhao Zongxuan, the groom official, to get on the horse.

Di Yong personally gave Zhao Zongxuan the red hydrangea to hang on his chest, Chen Yan led a horse and said with a smile: "Second brother, hurry up and get on the horse." Don't let the second sister-in-law wait for a long time. ”

Zhao Zongxuan responded, got on the horse with a red face, and marched towards Liujiahua Garden outside the city under the support of a group of people.

Chen Yan and Di Yong did not go to greet their relatives, but stayed in the Zhao Mansion, responsible for receiving the people who came to congratulate them, etc., in fact, this is the meaning of the king of Nanyang County, Zhao Zongxuan is now weak, and what he can rely on is nothing more than Chen Yan and Di Yong. In short, it is to let Chen Yan and Di Yong brush up their prestige. Although the two of them had some objections to Zhao Yunxian's arrangement, they couldn't say anything, so they stood at the door of the main hall and greeted the visitors from all over the world with a smile on their faces.

Because it was a marriage given by the official family and the face of the king of Nanyang County, almost all the officials of the court attended Zhao Zongxuan's wedding, and even Yan Xianggong, who was far away in Henan Mansion, sent people to send congratulatory gifts. It is said that the grand occasion is unprecedented, but it is also extremely grand.

Over there, Zhao Zongxuan arrived at Huayuan in the blowing all the way, and the Liu family is a big family, so naturally they don't play anything bad and funny, so they welcomed the bride to the sedan chair very smoothly. Before noon, Zhao Zongxuan rode a high-headed horse and had already returned to his mansion.

At this time, the hall was already full of high-ranking friends, and the people sitting in the main hall were naturally all members of the court or famous families. When the prime minister of the dynasty Pang Ji, the governor Liu Xin, the king of Ruyang County Zhao Yunrang, the right military guard general Zhao Zongshi, the right guard general Zhao Conggu and so on, and the representative of the official family is the Hanlin bachelor Ouyang Xiu.

Chen Yan and Di Yong stood at the door, looking at the hall full of dignitaries and nobles, and they all felt something.

Zhao Zongxuan had already entered the gate and led the bride to the main hall with a concentric knot. Naturally, it is to burn candles and incense, and to play music and firecrackers.

Everything was carried out according to the rules, and after three bows, he saluted the guests in the hall, and then sent to the cave room.

The entire Zhao Mansion immediately held a banquet.

Chen Yan looked at this whole set of rituals, and suddenly felt that his head was a little big, and he didn't need to mix it up after sending it to the cave room and blocking the wine, so he didn't care about Di Yong, found a seat in the corner and sat down, picked up chopsticks and started eating.

Today's banquet is naturally organized by the Liu family, looking at this table of sumptuous wine and food, Chen Yan nodded a praise, the level of the Liu family's chef is much higher than him, the most important thing is that there are all kinds of fruits, you must know that it is a cold winter at this time, the canal is frozen, the Liu family can get so many fruits of all colors, it really took a lot of thought!

Chen Yan was eating happily, but a person sat next to him and said, "Chen Jichang, why are you sitting here?" ”

can talk to him so unceremoniously, I'm afraid there are only a few Yan Dao, turn your head and look, it's really, so Chen Yan ignored the bear child and continued to eat and drink.

Yan Jidao sat beside him, his voice was very low, and he said very seriously: "Chen Gongzi, didn't you look at the guests at this table before you sat down?" ”

Chen Yan subconsciously looked up, uh, suddenly a little confused, he was responsible for receiving although he didn't know all these people here, but most of them still knew, there were people from Tianbo Yang Mansion, there were people from the Huyan family, and there seemed to be two young descendants of the family, and sitting opposite him was Chai Yao, the son of Zheng Guogong, who had a relationship with him. I think this table is the position of the descendants of the Great Song Dynasty, and most of them are military generals. It is precisely because of this that it will be arranged in this somewhat remote corner. I have to say that after these hundred and ten years, the scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty have trained the military generals very well, otherwise at this table, after taking out a random meritorious general, how can they sit in the corner, and even those small civil officials from the eighth rank in the court are not as good.

"In Xia Chen Jichang, I have seen you." Chen Yan said very politely.

There is a difference between civil and military affairs in the Great Song Dynasty, and the boundary is very clear, although Chen Yan does not have an official position, but he looks like a literati in his dress, so these people here all look like they ignore it. It's embarrassing!

Yan Jidao naturally knew that Chen Yan would be treated like this, so he said, "Don't you want to leave?" ”

"What to go? I'm so happy to be at a table with so many generals! ”

Yan pouted a few times, got up and walked away, and kindly came over to remind him that since this guy didn't listen, then he didn't care. Anyway, after these exploits of the Great Song Dynasty, they will not give him a good face. However, Chen Yan does not have such awareness, he should eat and drink, in his opinion, it is better to sit with those civil servants than to sit with the generals, at least there is no need to play any twists and turns. When he was standing at the door to greet him just now, Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Zongbo brothers looked at him with that look, and now they think about it, they are still a little hairy.

Before Chen Yan could eat and drink, Zhao Zongxuan walked out of the cave room and began to toast. Chen Yan looked up, Zhao Zongxuan had Di Yong by his side, and a few sect disciples were accompanying him, thinking that he was not needed, so he continued to eat and drink with his head down.

Although the guests of this one feel a little awkward, they are helpless, they can't drive people away, right?

A young man beside Chai Yao said in a low voice, "This person has some meaning. ”

"What's more?" Who is Chai Yao, how to say that he is also one of the four young people in the capital, and his relationship with Yan Shu is not bad, so he knows more about the inside story, and said lightly: "Chen Jichang is afraid that few people know, but Chen Qicheng must be known to everyone, right?" ”

The young man's eyes widened and said, "Is he that Chen Qicheng?" ”

"Exactly!"

This young man's name is Li Yong, although the name is simple, it has a great origin, and his ancestor is Li Chunfeng. This Li Chunfeng is one of the remarkable figures in ancient history, because he is one of the authors of "Tui Bei Tu". Li Yong has been studious since he was a child, although he is not as smart as his ancestor Li Chunfeng, but he is also a prodigy who is well-known in Luoyang, and this son began to travel around the world at the age of fifteen. The Li family has a very good relationship with the Chai family since the time of Qian Chai Rong in the 100 years, and it has continued to this day, Li Yong happened to travel to learn this last month, so he went to Chai Mansion as a guest, coinciding with Zhao Zongxuan's wedding, so he came here with Chai Yao to watch the ceremony.

Li Yong looked at Chen Yan again, but for some reason he shook his head and didn't make a sound.

The two of them chatted for so long, Chen Yan had already eaten and drunk, so he got up and said, "Everyone, use it slowly, take the next step first." "And then, and then it's really gone.

Out of the gate, Chen Yanxin said that if he didn't leave, it would be difficult to wait for the cave room! He didn't have this bad taste, so he might as well go home and hug Gu Qiaoxi's soft body and roll the sheets. I knew that as soon as I walked a few steps, I saw Cao Huanting, who was dressed in men's clothes, walking over. I have to say that this little girl wears men's clothes more flavorfully than women's clothes, and she has a heroic posture, and women don't let her eyebrows go.

"Sure enough, the county lord guessed correctly." Cao Huanting proudly blocked the way.

Chen Yan twisted his eyebrows, reached out and touched his chin, and asked, "Did you guess what?" Could it be that the county lord deliberately waited here? ”

Cao Huanting tilted her little head and said, "Could it be that the county lord came out to enjoy the snow?" ”

Chen Yan looked up at the clear blue sky and the bright sunshine, and then looked at Cao Huanting and pointed to the front and said, "Do you go to my house to sit down, or go to the teahouse in front." ”

Cao Huanting snorted and said, "One more question." Naturally, I went to sit where you are. ”

"Ugh!" Chen Yan admired.

The two of them entered the main gate one after the other, Gu Qiaoxi heard that her father-in-law was back, so she greeted her, today Zhao Zongxuan's wedding, how could she never have thought that her family's father-in-law would go home so early, and she also brought back a handsome man.
