Chapter 336: The Wedding (I)

Chang'an is the imperial capital, and there is never a lack of excitement to see, but on the seventh day of the fourth month of the fourth year of the founding (29 years ago), the whole Chang'an was shocked by a wedding of the century. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Weiyang and Changle congratulated the envoys, worshipping all kinds of public opinion costumes, and there was an endless stream. The guard of honor at the front of the team has already left the North Gate, and the last envoy is still in the inner palace.

There are hundreds of officials in the court, well-dressed, as if they were in the court. It's just that the direction they are traveling is not Weiyang Palace, but the North Que Jiadi - Qili.

At this moment, Chang'an, as far as the eye can see, is really full of Jinghua.

Almost the entire inhabitants of Chang'an crowded to see the grand occasion of the century, and the gates of the city, which had always been crowded, were empty. So much so that several outsiders who entered the city through the straight city gate were surprised, and then there was the following dialogue.

"Master, this is Chang'an? Why are there so few people? It seems that there are not as many ...... as we are in Yizhou" The one who spoke was a dark and thin young man, although his appearance was not good, but his eyes were bright and bright, and he looked quite smart.

The man who was called the master was a middle-aged man in his thirties, tall and thin, with a narrow face, thick eyebrows, thin and bright eyes, and a short mustache under his chin, which added a bit of toughness to him.

The master and servant are both dusty and dusty, and they are dressed ordinarily, obviously outsiders who are on a long journey.

Hearing the servant's question, the middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, and was thinking about how to phrase it, but he heard a disdainful snort in his ears: "It's really an ignorant foreigner, Chang'an is crowded to death on weekdays, and don't think about moving in and out of the city for half an hour." Today is your good luck, when you meet the wedding of the Marquis of Fuping, the neighborhoods in the city are almost empty, so I haven't seen a few people. You servant boy, you actually said that Chang'an is not as many people as Yizhou, which is really a gimmick. ”

The master and servant turned their heads in surprise, only to see that the person who spoke was a man who looked like a scholar who was about to leave the city, looking at them with an unhappy face.

The middle-aged man took two steps forward, bowed, and apologized: "The servant boy is ignorant, please bear with me." ”

Although the scholar has the arrogance of the people of the capital, he is also a person who knows etiquette, and he also has a little eyesight, seeing that the middle-aged man is quite generous, and he is not an ordinary person, he also returned the salute at the moment, and his expression eased down.

The middle-aged self-reported home: "In Xia Chen Li, serving in Yizhou Yufu, today I am ordered to go to Beijing to report on my work." Chen and the servant boy are both in Chang'an for the first time, and there is rudeness, please don't be surprised. ”

Shizi nodded secretly, it turned out that a local official went to Beijing to report on his work, and situations like this are very common. Immediately replied: "Under Liu Tin , Zixing." ”

Chen Li didn't say what official position he was, and Shizi didn't say what his identity was. Chen Li entered the city and entered the palace to meet Shangfeng in Xicao, the Prime Minister's Office, while Liu Tin went out of the city to study in Biyong (royal school).

Liu Tin is obviously a person who can't hide his words, and Chen Lichu was quite surprised to encounter such a thing of the whole city watching the wedding. Under the conversation between the two, Liu Tin had a heart for the town, a foreign official, his eyebrows fluttered, and he told all the inside and outside stories about this wedding.

"This wedding is Zhang Yixiao, the Marquis of Fuping, marrying Ban Yuanjun, the daughter of the former Shanghe Nong Governor and the current Beidi Governor. Zhang Yixiao knows, right? ”

"I've heard of it. I heard that he once sent an envoy to the Xiongnu with a festival and quelled the Wusun chaos, which is really remarkable. The admiration on Chen Li's face was from the heart, after all, the Marquis of Fuping was a cousin of the Son of Heaven, born in a powerful family, and a prince for generations. With such a prominent family background, even if he sits firmly in Chang'an, he can make steady progress. But this young nobleman dared to travel thousands of miles, risked as if he was in danger, and shared worries for the country, and he really deserved this "amazing" praise.

"That's right, this Fuping Marquis is indeed remarkable. At present, he is not a weak crown, but because of his envoys and efforts to quell the chaos, he has been awarded the title of General of the Five Senses, supervised the Pingle Tun soldiers, placed the shogunate, and became the youngest general of the Han Dynasty. ”

The servant boy on the side heard this, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, will this facial features be very big?" ”

Chen Li and Liu Tin laughed, and they didn't need Liu Tin to explain, Chen Liwen said: "The five official Zhonglang will rank two thousand stones, one of the three generals of Zhonglang, and the inner palace of the guard, and the position is above the captain and the captain, so he can be called a general." Well, this shogunate is probably His Majesty's special purpose. ”

Liu Tin nodded, although Zhonglang General has the right to set up the shogunate, but it needs the special decree of the Son of Heaven, otherwise he cannot exercise this power. From this point, it can be seen that the Son of Heaven favored the Marquis of Fuping.

"Older than the Captain." The servant boy stuck out his tongue when he heard this, glanced at Chen Li, and whispered, "Bigger than the master." ”

Chen Li shook his head with a smile, and also said in a low voice: "It's not the same thing, it's a lot!" ”

"Fuping Hou is like this, and the Ban girl is not simple." Liu Tin exclaimed, "Not only is he from a famous family, but he is also good at poetry and books, and he has a gentle temperament." Even the queen recognized her as her sister...... Gee. ”

Chen Li smiled, it was inconvenient to talk about other people's daughters behind his back, so he didn't say anything.

But the servant boy said, "It sounds like you've seen it." ”

Liu Tin glanced at the servant boy sideways, and said to Chen Li: "This servant boy is still negligent in discipline...... Although I have never seen Ban's girl, I have seen it after my senior General Xiao, and I have always praised it and never forgot it......"

Before the words fell, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the sound of hurried hooves suddenly stopped, and an angry voice came: "Zixing, be cautious!" ”

Liu Tin smiled before he looked back, and arched his hand again and again: "Brother Xiao, what a coincidence!" Hey, you're ......."

That Brother Xiao's face was ugly, and he reluctantly returned the salute, and snorted: "It's too stuffy in the city, go out of the city to breathe." With that, he shook the reins, rushed into the doorway, and walked away.

Liu Tin sighed, with an expression that I understood.

The servant boy also sighed, with an expression that I also understood.

Chen Li looked at this, then at that, and only shook his head.

……

Chang'an Qili, Fuping Marquis Mansion, at this time has become more lively than Zhangtai Street in the festival. The middle door of the Hou Mansion is wide open, and the four side doors of the mansion are all opened, welcoming guests from all over the world. The officials and magnates who came to congratulate were like carp crossing the river, the various congratulatory gifts with ribbons were piled up like a mountain, and the stewards who copied the gift list cramped.

The answer to the door is Tao Sheng and Liu Feng, the former leads back and forth, and at the end of the day, his legs are thinner to run; The latter was responsible for the roll call and greeting with a smile, and finally almost paralyzed.

At this time, in the inner hall, Zhang Fang, who was dressed in black and red curly clothes, was talking happily with the quasi-father-in-law, the banshi brothers, and the Zhang clan.

At this time, the family ordered Zhang Jingchen to ask for instructions: "The head of the family, the Qinglu has been built, is it officially held?" ”

Zhang Fang waved his hand: "Wait." ”

Zhang Jingchen was a little anxious: "But it's less than half an hour before the auspicious time, if you don't prepare......

Zhang Fang cut off without hesitation: "Prepare all the items, I said to start before starting." ”

Zhang Jingchen had no choice but to retreat.

Zhang Ping, the head of the second room, coughed dryly: "Yi Xiao, this auspicious time doesn't wait for anyone, isn't it...... Huh? ”

The class over there smiled, and his expression was also not in a hurry, but he only smiled and persuaded: "Brother Zhong, don't worry, there are still honored guests who have not arrived." ”

Zhang Ping's eyes widened in surprise: "Honored guest? Even the generals, prime ministers and ministers are here, who else are the distinguished guests? ”

Zhang Xuan, the parent of the third room, suddenly shouted: "Could it be ......?"

Zhang Ping is not stupid, he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then jumped up from the mat, and his voice changed tone: "Could it be ......?"

At this time, a proclamation faintly came from outside the house: "Your Majesty, the queen has arrived-"

The market-like Hou Mansion suddenly fell silent, and even the air froze for a moment.

The next moment, the sky is boiling. (To be continued.) )
