Chapter 128: The Engagement Banquet (I)
A few days after Li Shimin's decree was read, Li Junxian was still busy arranging some things, instead of calming down to prepare for the engagement banquet. And these things even Dugu Yi people can't understand, Li Junxian seems to have made a special kind of wine, and put some leaves in the pot to fry and dry, and then turned into some dried leaves. Dugu Yiren didn't know what Li Junxian was doing, so he didn't care about it.
After Li Junxian is done, the engagement banquet will also start. The past few days have been done by Dugu Yanyun, and Li Junxian is also happy to be idle. And Li Junxian because of the war, his parents have disappeared and have not been found. Li Junxian originally wanted to find his parents with this body, but in ancient times, if he wanted to find someone, he didn't have a general direction, it was almost impossible to find a needle in a haystack. So Li Junxian didn't look for it. And Dugu Yanyun, the quasi-father-in-law, is Li Junxian's elder, and he will take care of everything.
"O virtuous son-in-law! What are you up to? Dugu Yanyun said happily.
"Brother Yanyun, you take advantage of me! I used to have a brother, but now I am called a virtuous son-in-law? Li Junxian complained.
"What do you mean I'm taking advantage of you? Whoever asked you to marry my daughter, it was my son-in-law! If you have the ability, don't marry my daughter! Dugu Yanyun said.
Li Junxian was speechless, this guy can really kick his nose in the face, and he is still so proud. This guy is determined to eat himself, who asked Huang Yanjing to give marriage, can Li Junxian not marry?
"Hmph, then we have to wait until after the official marriage, we are just an engagement banquet now, not a formal marriage!" Li Junxian also retorted.
"Haha, it's all the same, it's all the same!" Dugu Yanyun said with a smile.
And next, Li Junxian is one of the protagonists, so of course he has to go out to greet the guests. This event was held in Deyue Building, the largest restaurant in Chang'an City, to welcome many guests. Dugu Yiren is the daughter of Dugu Yanyun, and Dugu Yanyun was able to obtain the title of a duke by following Li Junxian to fight against the Turks. The prince of the country marries a daughter, and the person he marries is also a prince of the country, do you say that it can be a big deal? Although the country is not rich now, these generals and nobles have too much "ill-gotten wealth", so they can do a lot of things!
"Oh, Brother Changhe, are you here?" Li Junxian greeted.
The first one to come was Chang He, that is, Li Junxian's first friend in Xuanwumen at that time. However, after that, there was a lot less friendship, and now he also came to his engagement banquet.
"Jun Xian, it usually doesn't look like anything, but it broke out at a critical time! Not only did he save the driver in Xuanwu Gate, but he also killed tens of thousands of Turks, brother, I am ashamed of myself! Today, I'm here for your engagement party, don't deny me! Chang He said with a smile.
"Where, where? Am I that kind of person? Li Junxian hurriedly said politely.
Just after Li Junxian welcomed Chang He in, a "bear paw" slapped Li Junxian's shoulder.
"Oops!" Li Junxian shouted.
"Why, I'm not welcome to Lao Cheng! What are you screaming for? A gruff voice came.
When Li Junxian saw this voice, he hurriedly said, "General Cheng, I'm surprised, I'm surprised how you would come to the engagement banquet of your younger brother!" ”
This guy is Cheng Yanjin.
"What? I'm not giving you face, I'm your wife's face! Do you know? I invested the money in the bank, and I made twice as much income, do you say I won't come? Of course, you kid is okay, you have a bit of style from back then! Back then, you learned the art of war from me, but I didn't expect you to use it on the Turks. Cheng Yanjin said proudly.
"? This Cheng bites Jin's cheeks are too thick, right? Although I am learning from others, I am not learning from you! But you, an old man, actually took the credit on yourself, what a city wall-like cheek! Li Junxian said secretly.
Li Junxian had no choice but to push this old guy into the restaurant to avoid continuing to communicate with him, so he had to vomit blood.
And next, there was another yellow-faced general.
"Oh, Brother Qin Qiong, what kind of wind blew you here?" Li Junxian asked.
Qin Qiong immediately clenched his fists and said, "Jun Xian, the great grace of saving lives is unforgettable." I heard that you were holding an engagement party, how could I not come? When you officially get married, I will come. With your prescription, I'm sure I'll be able to live another thirty years! ”
Li Junxian didn't expect that his prescription would really help Qin Qiong, and he would actually have the courage to say that he would continue to live for thirty years. Qin Qiong is now in her thirties, and if she continues to live for thirty years, she will be in her sixties, which can be said to be a very long-lived old birthday star in ancient times.
Qin Qiong went in again, and the next customer surprised Li Junxian even more.
"Minister Li Junxian participates in Your Majesty and participates in the Queen!" Li Junxian hurriedly saluted.
When the guests next to them heard this, they also hurriedly saluted and said, "The ministers will participate in Your Majesty and the Queen Mother!" ”
The person who came was Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, accompanied by the empress's eldest grandson. Although Li Junxian also sent an invitation to Li Shimin, he didn't expect Li Shimin to come. Because Li Shimin is the emperor, known as the emperor of all opportunities, where does he have free time to attend the engagement banquet of a courtier. Even if the emperor wants to participate, he will participate in the formal marriage banquet, and the engagement banquet, which is not very grand, is generally not attended.
But Li Junxian didn't expect that Li Shimin even participated in the engagement banquet, which made Li Junxian a little flattered. It was already a great honor for the emperor to participate in the marriage banquet, but even to participate in the engagement banquet was a very great grace. Now the guests next to them all showed envious, jealous and hateful expressions towards Li Junxian, where did they not know that Li Junxian was in the emperor's heart! Li Junxian's last time he said that he was loyal to the nation, not only did not make Li Shimin feel jealous, but he was even more favored.
Of course, there are also some guys who maliciously speculate that Li Junxian is grandstanding, but it depends on personal thoughts.
"Hehe, General Li, today is your engagement banquet, the palace and His Majesty are just guests, you don't need to be polite!" Empress Eldest Sun said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding! The emperor and the queen came to attend the minister's engagement banquet, which was the minister's honor. Li Junxian hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also went in immediately.
