More than a month, not long, not short, soon only three days left before Yue Su's wedding.

On this day, a news reached Yue Su's ears, and Mu Qiyuan, the Duke of Qianguo, arrived.

As the quasi-son-in-law of Grandpa Mu, Yue Su naturally wanted to go to Shili Pavilion with the county lord to greet him, but the popularity of Duke Qianguo was really much better than that of his son-in-law, and there were many people who went out of the city to greet him. Not only did the people of the three parties who were good friends with Yue Su go out of the city one after another, but even the eunuch party also sent representatives, and even the nobles in Beijing went together under the leadership of the British Duke and the Chengguo Duke.

Shili Pavilion was very lively, and Mu Qiyuan, the prince of Qianguo, and his eldest son Mu Tianbo arrived with a large number of Hu. As a son-in-law, Yue Su naturally wanted to be the first to see his father-in-law, Mu Qiyuan had never seen Yue Su, but he had just heard other people's descriptions, saying that Yue Su looked dignified, and today he saw with his own eyes, the appearance of his prospective son-in-law, he was very satisfied, and even his brother-in-law Mu Tianbo looked at this future brother-in-law very pleasing to the eye.

However, because there were too many people who came to greet him, Mu Qiyuan didn't care about talking to his son-in-law, after all, he couldn't snub Zhang Weixian, a group of big people who were equal to his identity. Mu Qiyuan was welcomed into the Shili Pavilion by the stars like a moon, chatted with those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and occasionally said a few words, please help take care of your son-in-law.

But these words, to the ears of some people, have become a sarcasm, your son-in-law does not come to me and wait for trouble, we will already burn high incense, who will take care of whom.

Mu Tianjiao just said a few words to Yue Su when she met her father, but now she can't 'interject', and she is a female dependent, so she has to take Yue Su and her younger brother to her mother to talk.

After gathering in Shili Pavilion for a while, the officials surrounded Grandpa Mu and entered Beijing. Don't look at the Mu family who has guarded Yunnan for generations, but there is still a house in Beijing, settle down first, and then hand the sign into the palace to see His Majesty.

In the next two days, the city of Beijing was bustling, and there was a lot of publicity about Lord Yue's marriage. When it was the right day, the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department was noisy with gongs and drums and firecrackers. There was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him.

Those who have a friendship with Yue Su will definitely be present to celebrate, it doesn't matter, it also depends on the face of the emperor and the Duke of Qianguo, come here to join in the fun. Even if there is an enmity, he has been instructed by Gonggong Wei to come over. Because Wei Zhongxian received the news, the emperor will come to the scene today to preside over the wedding. Yue Su's face and Qianguogong's face can not be given, and the emperor's face must not be given.

Today's porter is Jin Chan and Li Haoquan, these two are very busy, and they can't expect so many people to come to congratulate them.

"The head of the cabinet has arrived at the ......"

"Cabinet Deputy Assistant Lord Wei to ......"

"Cabinet University Scholar to ......"

"Master Feng of the Ministry of Industry arrives at ......"

"Lord Tsui of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Inspectorate has arrived in ......"

"British Duke Zhang to ......"

"Duke Zhu of Chengguo arrives in ......"

…… All over the court, almost all the officials who are qualified to be present have come. This kind of scene, that is, Ruan Zhenmei is not in Beijing, if she is, I don't know what kind of mood this old gentleman will be in when she sees it.

Officials came to congratulate, naturally there was no lack of gifts, Yang Yishan was responsible for receiving gift lists, and four pen tips helped record names.

The auspicious time is almost coming, the emperor, as the most heavyweight figure, of course, will arrive last, and now the officials in the Shangshu Mansion are waiting for a "The emperor has arrived".

Jin Chan and the others who were guarding the door, seeing that they were all coming, were looking left and right, waiting for the emperor to arrive. At this time, a carriage swayed over, and the target was the gate of Shangshu Mansion.

This carriage is not big, and its appearance is very ordinary, just two horses pulling the cart, which is really amazing. Two high-headed horses with fiery red "color", if you are a discerning person, you can see at a glance that this is a purebred Dawan horse. With a Dawan horse-drawn carriage, even the emperor is not so extravagant.

When the carriage came to the gate of Shangshu Mansion, the coachman jumped down first, arched his hand at the door, and said, "May I ask if this is the mansion of Lord Shang Shuyue of the Criminal Department?" ”。

The coachman can be less than thirty years old, dressed in country clothes, but he looks magnificent, his eyes are like electricity, and he doesn't look like a charioteer when he looks horizontally and vertically.

"Exactly." Without waiting for the next person guarding the door to answer, Jin Chan walked out of the door and asked, "May I ask who you are looking for?" ”

The coachman didn't answer, but asked again: "Then may I ask if today is the day when the daughter of the Li family and Lord Yue get married." ”

"Exactly." Jin Chan looked at the coachman, not knowing what the other party meant.

The coachman looked very calm, turned around and said respectfully to the carriage, "Master, we have come at the right time." ”

His voice settled, and out of the carriage, out of a fifty-year-old man, the old man was dressed in a plain robe, with gray hair and beard, and a bookish face, looking like an old scholar who had read poetry and books.

The elder got out of the car, looked at Jin Chan kindly, and said, "May I ask Brother Li Wenzhang to be in the house." ”

Today is the day of his daughter's marriage, how can Li Wenzhang not be present, and the one who worships the high hall still has the drama of his old man. Jin Chan said politely: "Master Yue-in-law is now in the house, I don't know what this gentleman is looking for him?" ”

"It's good that he's here, please pass it on on your behalf, and say that an old friend surnamed Hong has made a special trip to say goodbye." The elder said kindly.

"Okay, old gentleman, wait a minute." Jin Chan immediately sent a subordinate to pass the word in.

Li Wenzhang is really proud now, relying on his communication skills to stream around several dukes. He is also Yue Su's father-in-law, so he is naturally qualified to talk to Mu Qiyuan, and now he is Zhang Weixian's partner, of course Zhang Weixian and Chengguo Duke have to give some face, and let him have a table with several dukes. Yunnan specialty Panax notoginseng, gastrodia, Ganoderma lucidum, Pu'er tea, Li Wenzhang quickly chatted with Mu Qiyuan about this, saying that he intended to buy in large quantities and sell them here.

As soon as Li Wenzhang heard that he was a friend surnamed Hong, he stood up and said, "A few lords, I have a friend who came to congratulate you." Lord Zhang, this friend, I mentioned it to you below. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Weixian said curiously: "Which friend, why don't I remember." ”

"He's the one I mentioned to you, a friend who deals in silk goods."

"It's him, so you can get him in quickly."

"Good, good ......"

Li Wenzhang ran out of the hall quickly and rushed to the main entrance, and as soon as Jin Chan and the others saw him, they all bowed down and saluted. Li Wenzhang also knew the status of the golden cicada in Yuesu Mansion, so he didn't put on any show, and told everyone with a smile that he was exempted, and then grabbed a bag of golden melon seeds from his arms and handed it to the golden cicada, and asked him to lead the brothers to drink tea.

Then, he came to Mr. Hong and laughed heartily, "Brother Hong, what kind of wind is blowing, why did you come to the capital?" ”

"Little brother, I went to Shandong to meet a friend some time ago, but I heard that Ling Hao was going to marry Master Yue of the Criminal Department, and you didn't inform my little brother of such a big matter. No, I hurried over, and I must ask for a glass of wine. The elder surnamed Hong said.

"Brother Hong, it's not that the younger brother doesn't want to be notified, it's really too urgent, the road from the capital to Jiangnan is long, even if you send someone to inform you, I'm afraid that the old brother won't be able to catch up. Therefore, when the younger brother plans to return to Huguang, he will set up a few more tables and invite the elder brother. Since the dude arrived in time, it's best to go in and talk. Li Wenzhang said, going to shake the hand of the elder surnamed Hong.

"Brother Li, please ......slow down," the elder surnamed Hong stopped Li Wenzhang.

This made Li Wenzhang stunned and asked, "Brother Hong, ...... are you?"

"Today is the wedding of Ling Hao and Lord Yue of the Criminal Department, how can the younger brother enter the door empty-handed." Speaking of this, the elder surnamed Hong turned his head and said, "Jin, bring down the gifts in the car." ”

"Yes, sir." The coachman got into the carriage, took out a beautiful brocade box from the carriage, then walked to the door, placed it on the table with pen tips, and opened it.

"My lord gave a pair of jade Ruyi." The coachman said lightly.

This pair of jade Ruyi is carved from jasper, and it is needless to say that the workmanship is exquisite, but this jade is extremely clear, and the pen tips are a little moved. Most of the gifts I received today are good things, but if they are compared with this pair of jade Ruyi, they are all much inferior.

Such a precious Ruyi, anyone will be stunned when they see it, but Li Wenzhang didn't clip it, and it didn't seem to be in his eyes at all. Yes, the Li family is rich and powerful, and I haven't seen any treasures. Li Wenzhang took the hand of the elder surnamed Hong again, "Brother Hong, please inside." ”

"Brother Li, please."

When the two of them entered the mansion together, the people outside immediately started talking, "Tut-tut...... Uncle Yue is rich, and even his friends are so generous, so his shot is extraordinary. "This pair of Ruyi, if it is brought to the market, how much silver will it be worth." ……

Everyone talked about it, and after a while, the gongs at the corner of the street were noisy, and a large group of forbidden troops drove over. Looking at this posture, you don't have to guess, you know that the emperor is coming. Jin Cicada immediately shouted loudly: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The other subordinates shouted loudly and went in to spread the word, and the officials who were in the hall for a while came out to greet them. Standing at the door, waiting for the arrival of the emperor's dragon chariot.

Zhu Youxiao brought Wei Zhongxian, Wang Tiqian, and Liu Mingguo to marry Yue Su today, and no matter how many people ask for such glory, they can't ask for it.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ……

In front of Long Yuan to get to the door, Baiguanshan shouted long live, and after Carpenter Zhu came down, he signaled to Zhongqing to calm down. "The widow came today to preside over Yue Aiqing's wedding, you Aiqing don't have to be formal, let's talk inside."

After speaking, Carpenter Zhu walked forward, and the hundred officials hurriedly got out of the way and automatically followed behind according to their grades. When he came to Xitang, Yue Su asked the emperor to sit in the middle and sit high, and when the hundred officials were in place, Liu Mingguo read the congratulatory message on behalf of the emperor.
