Chapter 099: A Different Kind of Excitement
Yang Zhi likes to be lively, but what he likes is as heartfelt and natural as ordinary people's weddings and birthdays. He disdains to artificially create excitement, and is very disgusted with ulterior motives to take advantage of such excitement.
In his opinion, Geng Chao's choice to get married on the same day is as ridiculous as a child who covets the lollipop in other people's hands.
This is nothing more than a move given to him by the masters of the Ningwang Group behind Geng Chao. If the two families get married together, it can not only show that the intimate relationship makes the prince group tired, but Yang Zhi will also fall behind because of his inferior status. If the two families operate separately, they will faintly elevate Geng Chao to the same position as Yang Zhi, and they can also rob him of some of the scenery.
Yang Zhi didn't bother to think about it, and he didn't care at all. A chick is a chick, don't say that he chooses to get married on the same day, even if he has the ability to choose to have a child on the same day, he can't become an old wolf.
The father-in-law, Shen Zitong, arrived in Beijing on August 19, and finally arrived before his daughter got married. Not only did he bring the old lady to Chang'an, but he also brought more than 20 servants and maidservants and nearly ten carriages of baggage.
As soon as Yang Zhi saw his father-in-law's posture of moving his family, he knew that he had some idea in his stomach and came to Chang'an. Tang Seng's verbosity is even afraid of Brother Monkey, and Yang Zhi, the old man's nagging, is naturally afraid. Originally, the Flying Tiger Marquis Mansion was very spacious, and it was not a problem to live for a few people. But Yang Zhi used the excuse that his uncle Shen Chong was already a general of the forbidden army, and it was undignified to live in the same mansion, so he simply gave the old man two choices: either take your family to live in the old mansion of the Yang Mansion given by the Qin family, or I will give you tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy a mansion by yourself.
King Fu and Geng Jin were afraid that Geng Chao's marriage was not strong enough, so Yang Zhi compared it and spread the wedding cards everywhere, and the royal relatives and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military almost did not miss the net. In fact, they are completely redundant, Yang Zhi is not only famous, but he has no foundation and no popularity in the court. What's more, Yang and Shen's families are both outsiders who have moved to Chang'an not long ago, and their relatives and friends are far away in Xinyang and Luzhou, so what can they do to compare their momentum with him?
In fact, Yang Zhi didn't plan to fight with them at all, and he didn't even think about it. Only a panicked person who is full of food and support will care so much about this stupid thing of fighting for face, let alone let him do it. It's tiring to even look at. Since the day the emperor ordered Yang Zhi to preside over the peace, everyone from the emperor to the ministers and even the Turkic envoys knew that he was "busy" with moving to the mansion and preparing for marriage, and few people in the world did not know when he got married. Do you still need to send any bird wedding cards? Come and welcome, don't come and pull down.
As far as the emperor's relatives and civil and military officials are concerned, King Fu and Geng are high and powerful, and Yang Zhi is strong and inexplicable. One is a plan that cannot afford to offend. So a thoughtful official came up with such an idea of taking care of both ends: the congratulatory gifts from the Yang Mansion were sent to a lot, but people went to the Geng Mansion to drink the wedding wine.
On the morning of August 21, the Yang Mansion was decorated inside and out, and the lanterns were full of joy. A group of imperial relatives and Chinese martial arts sent subordinates such as the master of the chief bookkeeper to send congratulatory gifts and left in a hurry, and the huge Flying Tiger Marquis Mansion looked a little deserted. After the precise calculation of the old man Yang Yan, together with all the servants and maidservants and guards on duty, it was enough to buy more than 20 tables of wine banquets.
gave a congratulatory gift but didn't come to drink the wedding wine, although Yang Zhi didn't care if he smiled, Yang Yan also thought it was worth it. Only at the end of the hour, the congratulatory gifts published in the gift book were enough to make Yang Yan's heartbeat worsen and he was dizzy: Prince Zhao Heng was 100,000 taels. King Ning Zhao dang 80,000 taels, King Kang Zhao Kang 80,000 taels, Yue King Zhao Qi 80,000 taels. 60,000 taels of the general Wei Su and 50,000 taels of Qin's ......, as well as countless physical gifts such as jewelry, silk and satin.
King Fu and Geng Jin actually sent 60,000 taels of congratulations respectively, and Yang Zhi didn't want to think about it, so he sent the master of the Hou Mansion to each house to send 60,000 taels back. Qin Kongyun went to Zhongzhou to raise money and did not return, Xu Wenhan and Wei Feiyang were not outsiders, and they came as soon as the sky was bright. When the two of them saw him behave like this, they couldn't help but laugh. Yang Zhi smiled regretfully and said that if he had known that this would have been sent in front of them, then there would be no need to paste in two hundred taels. On the contrary, there is a profit.
The first foreign guest to the Yang Mansion wedding banquet was Zhao Qi, the king of Yue, in addition to giving a wedding wish to his sister Princess Zhao Yan, the princess of Changxiu, Zhao Qi also brought a big surprise to Yang Zhi: after reaching a peace agreement with Great Xia, the Western Turkic prince Suoli, who had not yet returned to the desert.
Prince Suoli and the national teacher Hu Erchi led the delegation to Chang'an to negotiate peace, so naturally they would not bring anything valuable. The congratulatory gift was a meniscus knife to be worn with you. After that, Prince Suoli gave Yang Zhi an even bigger surprise: after meeting His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia the day before yesterday, His Royal Highness the Emperor of Great Xia, King Tuoyue, gave him a message, asking him to worship him as his father-in-law on the day of the marriage of the Flying Tiger Marquis!
Before his death, Yang Zhi promised to use the power of Great Xia to do his best to help Prince Suoli ascend to the throne of the Western Turkic Khan in the future, and the emperor knew about this section. The emperor slammed the door almost perverted, in order to show the official support of Daxia to Prince Suoli. chose the cheapest way to let Yang Zhi be his godfather, and Prince Suoli himself seemed to be very happy.
Yang Zhi and Xu Wenhan couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly: The emperor personally spoke first, and people chose the wedding day, a happy day, to present a congratulatory gift and then recognize their godfather, which is naturally unacceptable. It's up to him, the old man of the emperor can figure it out!
Yang Mansion was overjoyed today, Yang Zhixin was busy, and he was too lazy to grind with Prince Suoli, so he immediately instructed the master to pick up some gold, silver and silk as a gift in return, and recognized this godson who was a few years older than him.
It was followed by three heavyweights, Chen Wenyuan, the Privy Councillor, Wang Yunong, the first and auxiliary prime minister of the dynasty, and Qin Gong, the big boss of the dark chaebol who rarely appeared.
The three dying giants actually came together to talk and laugh, obviously they have known each other for a long time. The white-haired Chen Wenyuan laughed heroically from a long distance: "Flying Tiger Hou! How come your cup of wine today is missing from the old man? β
Wang Yunong was the leader of Wenchen for many years, and then stepped forward to congratulate him: "Congratulations to the Flying Tiger Marquis!" Today, General Geng's mansion is full of guests, and it is not bad for our three old bones. I took the liberty to come to Feihuhou here to ask for a cup of wine! β
Xu Wenhan and Yang Zhi couldn't help but smile at each other again: Whether it is Prince Suoli, or Chen Wenyuan, Wang Yunong and Qin Gong, I am afraid that King Fu and Geng Jin can not be moved. One of these people is picked out at random, and the weight is 800 times heavier than dozens or hundreds of officials who go to that one side to make a fool of themselves. I wonder who will be next?
