Chapter Ninety-Nine: Returning to His Hometown
Feng Manlou had just returned to Zhushan, but he saw a group of people at the gate of the county from a distance. Dong Chao said: "My lord, my subordinates went to inquire and see what happened!" ”
After speaking, he galloped over with a galloping horse, but saw a group of people, led by a scholar dressed as a scholar, this person was Zhu Dachang, the magistrate of Zhushan. But now Zhu Dachang is not wearing an official uniform, and Dong Chao doesn't recognize him in casual clothes.
And the other old woman and old man are the father and mother who are always rich. Next to him is Feng Qing, the housekeeper of the Feng family, and Mrs. Feng's maid. Behind them was a group of officials.
As soon as Dong Chao looked at the group of officials, he knew that there must be officials from Zhushan here, so he hurriedly dismounted and bowed, and said: "My subordinate Yuhang County catches Dong Chao quickly, I have seen you!" ”
When Feng Fuchang heard this, it was Yu Hanglai's messenger, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "The old man is Feng Fuchang, but my son is full of buildings in the distance?" ”
When Dong Chao heard this, he knew that this was Feng Manlou's father, so he hurriedly saluted again and said, "The old lady will go later, and my subordinates will go to report to the lord!" ”
Feng Manlou saw Dong Chao saluting from a distance, guessing that his father had arrived.
So, I hit the horse and walked forward, and sure enough, when I arrived, not only my father and mother, but also Lord Zhu of Zhuzhi County arrived.
Feng Man downstairs and greeted his father, Mrs. Feng had not seen her son for a long time, and she cherished her son very much, pulling her son to ask east and west, Feng Fuchang couldn't help but cough next to her.
After all, Feng Manlou is a person in the officialdom, and he obviously saw Zhu Dachang, but he didn't say hello, and put the people aside, he was very sorry, so he said to his mother: "Mother, say hello to Lord Zhu first!" ”
Mrs. Feng remembered this and hurriedly said, "Go quickly, don't slack off Lord Zhu!" ”
Feng Manlou felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and he really wanted to go home all of a sudden and talk to his father and mother, but Zhu Dachang was next to him, and now he was also a magistrate, if he ignored others, it would be too faceless, and besides, people would give themselves face like this.
Feng Manlou stepped forward, arched his hand to Zhu Dachang, and said, "Lord Zhu, you have always been fine!" ”
Here's a hello, now Feng Manlou is also a magistrate, of course, you don't have to bow down like before.
Zhu Dachang hurriedly held it up, and even bowed his hand back, saying: "Lord Feng, oh, no, Brother Xingren, you are very beautiful!" ”
Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment, why did Zhu Zhixian call him Brother Xingren, and asked embarrassedly: "Lord Zhu, I don't know how you know the word Xingren?" ”
After asking, he secretly called himself an idiot, and the emperor's holy decree had already been sent to various states and counties in the Great Song Dynasty through the situation of the Di Bao. Sure enough, Zhu Dachang said: "Brother Xingren is too outside, the imperial court's mansion newspapers have been released last month. Not only that, but congratulations to Brother Xingren for his promotion! ”
Feng Manlou hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord Zhu, Lord Zhu is so in such a position, come to greet you, and make Feng so uneasy!" ”
Zhu Dachang said with a smile: "Brother Xingren, don't be uneasy, it's higher than Dachang's official position." The lower official also called Lord Feng. If you don't dislike it, just call me Zhongxuan! ”
This Zhongxuan is obviously Zhu Dachang's word, Feng Manlou thought to himself: "This is much better than Dachang's name, it sounds like a pig's intestine." ”
But he said: "Since this is the case, then Xingren is welcome, Brother Zhongxuan!" ”
The two immediately chatted for a while, and Zhu Dachang said: "Brother Xingren, this name sounds good, and it really deserves to be a royal gift, which shows that the official family has high hopes for Brother Xingren." Xingren, if all the officials in the Great Song Dynasty are like Xingren's brothers, the world will be peaceful. ”
Feng Manlou was embarrassed for a while, if you knew how many officials I killed in Yuhang, I'm afraid I wouldn't say that!
Zhu Dachang said: "Now in the whole Jiangnan, the three words Feng Xingren have already spread, especially the two lyrics of Brother Xingren, which have already been sung. Zhu was very envious. ”
Feng Manlou blushed for no reason, it seems that this plagiarized thing is not psychologically steady, just said: "The wind is spreading, the wind is just spreading!" ”
Zhu Dachang heard it a little differently, and said casually: "Yes, it's crazy!" Speaking of this, he hurriedly said: "Don't disturb Brother Xingren, I was going to invite Brother Xingren to a banquet today, but I just returned to my hometown, and I really can't talk about it, so I will say that Brother Xingren is happy, and Zhongxuan will definitely disturb two glasses of water and wine when the time comes!" ”
When Feng Manlou heard this, he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Zhu, oh, no, Brother Zhongxuan!" Seeing Zhu Dachang's face pretending to change, he quickly changed his words.
After saying goodbye to Zhu Dachang, he returned to the yamen, and Feng Manlou asked his mother: "Mother, why didn't you see the rainbow of the Yang family today?" ”
Mrs. Feng laughed at her son and said, "It seems that you are in frequent contact in Yuhang, and this relationship is still very deep." Don't you know that the day after tomorrow is your happy day, and according to customs, you can't meet today and tomorrow. ”
Then the Yang family should also come to one, Feng Manlou was thinking so, but saw a familiar figure, not Su Xiangyue or who?
saw Su Xiangyue come forward and said, "Feng Gongzi, congratulations." My host asked the little girl to welcome you instead of her! ”
Feng Manlou hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you!" Please go back and tell your host, and then say that you will go to meet your relatives on time! ”
Afraid that Su Xiangyue would stay for a while, Su Xiangyue felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, and said, "Feng Gongzi, don't you like little women like this?" ”
Feng Manlou was about to casually say that he liked it, but when the words came to his mouth, he quickly stopped, didn't this cause a misunderstanding, and he was about to get married.
Hurriedly changed his words and said, "I like it, but it's the relationship between brother and sister." Little lady Su, you are Feng's life-saving benefactor, and Feng knows your affection for Feng. However, the latter is the son of the wind's great joy. can only live up to the kindness of Su Xiaoniang. ”
Su Xiangyue couldn't help but said with a crying voice: "Seeing the son and the owner, the little woman is very jealous, if there is an afterlife, the little woman must meet the son one step earlier!" ”
Afterlife? Feng Manlou doesn't believe this, but suddenly feels a chill in his back, don't you believe it? How did you get here?
After returning home, Feng Manlou realized that getting married was such a trouble. What to hang here, what color to hang here, what to pay attention to there, and later, a father called himself over and carefully said the taboos of the past two days.
Hearing that Feng Manlou's head was as big as a burst, and now the entire Feng family is busy, but I feel that the only one who is not busy is himself, and Feng Manlou is also embarrassed for a while.
Fortunately, it's not boring, at least there are Dong Chao, Xue Ba, Sun Hu and Wang Ying to chat. But these people are now on vacation and are enjoying this vacation. I don't want to chat with Feng Manlou. Just gesturing in the open space of the yard.
Although it passed slowly, it was actually very fast. As soon as I got up on the third day of Feng Manlou, I saw that the courtyard and the guest rooms everywhere were full of tables and chairs.
Feng Manlou saw it and asked Xiaoyundao, "Did you say that there are so many guests coming today?" ”
Xiaoyun said: "Young master, I don't know. If you go to the past, there will definitely not be many guests who come today. If it were now, then everyone with a little face in Yuhang would come. Besides, Lord Zhu is so polite to adults. ”
At this time, I saw a sedan chair at the door, which was decorated. There was also a horse, but it was not tall, obviously afraid of being frightened on the road, so he deliberately chose a horse that was not tall, and it was still very tame.
At this time, he saw Fengqing and said, "Young master, go wash up, it's time to greet your relatives." ”
Feng Manlou heard it, why was it so early, but Xiaoyun had already prepared his clothes and was going to change his clothes. But it turned out to be so euphemistic, saying that he would change his clothes if he changed his clothes, and he also said that he would wash up.
Soon, the procession was ready. Feng Manlou rode the horse, and suddenly after winning the Jinshi in the capital, the feeling of crossing the horse and parading the streets came up.
No wonder it is said that Jinshi and the first are called big Dengke, and the flower candle in the cave room is a small Dengke, but this is the truth. Before leaving, Feng Fuchang was still shouting in the back: "Be sure to bring the bride back before noon!" ”
Feng Manlou asked, Feng Qing said that it was a custom, and it was unlucky after the hour, so he must worship at noon. Feng Manlou thought to himself, isn't it the evening or afternoon to worship the church?
The word marriage was handed down from the Tang Dynasty, and the wedding ceremony was held at dusk, so there was the word marriage. Marriage also carries the meaning of twilight. It's just that, after so many years, things have long changed.
As soon as I got out of the house, Feng Manlou didn't feel so good, and I saw the people of Zhushan pointing and saying, look, it's Lord Feng, I heard that a lot of good things have been done for the people in Yuhang. It would be nice if we had such a good official in Zhushan.
Some people also say that let your son study more seriously, and in the future, he will also learn the style of adults, and come back from the middle jinshi. But I heard that my son has such a good life there, and this is Wenqu Xing.
Feng Manlou was intermittent, and he heard that he was good, but he felt like he was selling something, and he was always flustered.
The Feng family and the Yang family were not far away, but it took a full hour for this short circuit to come slowly, which shows how slow the team was traveling.
Finally, no matter how slow it was, it arrived at the door of the Yang family. Xiaoyun went up to inform, but saw that the door of the Yang family had already been opened, and the guests were gathered.
Under the leadership of Feng Qing, Feng Manlou entered the Yang family's house, but saw that Yang Qingshan was waiting inside, Feng Manlou stepped forward and bowed, and said: "Father-in-law!" ”
Yang Qingshan smiled and said, "Now that I have become my son-in-law of the Yang family, I still have this gift!" After speaking, he asked someone to take a box and hand it to Xiaoyun.
Of course, you can't take it apart now, otherwise it would be too rude.
At this time, Su Xiangyue stepped forward and said, "Master, the bride is ready!" ”
Next, it was the etiquette of greeting relatives, Yang Qingshan looked at the sky and said, "It's not early, don't delay the hour, let's start!" ”
