Volume 1 Who Breaks the Void by the Stars Chapter 337 Urging Fengtai to Approach the Mirror Platform
Ye Chang is getting married
This news had spread to Chang'an Chengfang City before Ye Chang left Xingqing Palace, and when he returned to his residence, he found that everyone was looking at him with a strange look.
"This Chang'an City is really a leaky and leaky house." Ye Chang couldn't help but sigh.
But it was also a sentence, and immediately after that, he was busy, with many letters to write and many things to arrange
He is calm on the surface, but he knows that the waves in Chang'an City are monstrous.
Yang Zhao, who originally looked aggressive, had to be appointed as an envoy only because of the changes in Jiannan. Li Longji's timing and this matter are accurate, which makes people re-acquaint themselves with this old traitor. He would rather let Ye Chang, the prospective son-in-law, be released with him, and he must drive Yang Zhao out of Chang'an, which can also see his firmness and ruthlessness.
This will inevitably set off a new political storm, Yang Zhao, and those who follow Yang Zhao, will be liquidated, although Li Longji will provide them with a certain amount of protection, but after a long time, if Yang Zhao can't return to Chang'an City, the saint will decline, and then Li Linfu's final counterattack will come.
Of course, these waves were covered by the liveliness of Ye Chang's wedding.
The Son of Heaven gave the mansion, and the location was to the south of Li Linfu's house, across the street, and he gave the slave Ruoyu, and gave all kinds of property Ruoyu almost every day, a messenger from the palace rushed to award Li Longji's "reward" to Ye Chang.
In addition, there are extremely cumbersome pre-marital etiquette, and the day after Ye Chang returned to the house, a smiling official from the Ministry of Etiquette came to help Ye Chang complete these etiquettes.
The first step is to accept the color, that is, to cut it, Li Longji directly took out the silk cloth from the treasury and sent it to Li Linfu's mansion, which can be regarded as a dowry for Ye Chang, and invited a county prince wife with both children and daughters to tailor clothes for Li Tengkong, which is the so-called "sending days".
Followed by the name, Najib, Najib, and the invitation, these are just ceremonies, just go through the motions, but when the enlistment is made, it is a sensation back to Chang'an, a full one hundred and eight picks of dowry, piled up, the street in front of Li Linfu's house is impassable, when the box is opened, there are jewels and colorful lights, so that the people who watch the excitement are smacking their tongues one by one.
According to the rules, the bride price of the man is the same as the woman's dowry. Therefore, as soon as this full bride price is put on the street, everyone has to worry about Li Linfu: the rich rival the country, but so
It is said that after Li Linfu saw these bride prices at that time, he also stayed for a long time, and then said with a wry smile: "Decades of eunuch bags, today is empty." ”
Li Longji, who was in the palace, heard the news, and Da Lu couldn't stop laughing, and then said excitedly: "An makes my prime minister marry his daughter without face, open the inner library, pick out one hundred and eight loads of treasures, General Gao, you personally send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Gao Lishi also made fun: "The slave and maid have also accumulated some belongings over the years, and even so, the slave and maid dare not compare with the saint, but also make up eighteen loads"
Legend has it that Yang Yuhuan in the palace also sent thirty-six quintals of silk jewelry and the like, and it was the crown prince Li Heng, who also pinched his nose and reluctantly gave some gifts.
So the dowry that came out of Li Linfu's mansion became more abundant, and Ye Chang learned the news, without saying a word, he made up for one hundred and eight loads of treasures, this time glassware, ironware, lacquerware, leather goods, old medicines, etc., although they are not as jeweled as the last time, they are also worth a lot of money.
After learning about this, even Li Longji was stunned, and in the grapevine, it was said that Li Longji was stunned for a long time, and then coughed twice: "Yes, you are also angry, let's go, don't fight with the God of Wealth Boy." ”
Suddenly, the rumor that Ye Changfu was more powerful than Wang Yuanbao spread all over Chang'an.
Ye Changlufu is not without reason, he needs greater financial support from the magnates of Chang'an - although he has made a lot of money for these magnates over the years, but strictly speaking, the dividends paid every year may not be as much as the money absorbed by the annual share expansion. Now that he is going to the southwest, it means that he may not be able to directly control the affairs of the Andong Chamber of Commerce for the time being, and in order to prevent these powerful people from being uneasy and withdrawing funds, he shows his wealth to show his strength and reassure them.
Of course, it is also a deterrent, and now many people have read the Wealth of Nations theory, and they all accept Ye Chang's view that "wealth is the amount of power", and they have no doubt about Ye Chang's ability to transform wealth into real strength.
On April 18, it is said to be an auspicious day for marriage, early in the morning, Ye Chang's house began to blow and beat lively, and the streets were full of people watching the excitement. In order to prepare for this wedding, his mansion has also been freshly painted these days, and the lights are everywhere in red and green, so he can't help but feel a little excited when he walks in the courtyard.
When it was dusk, he personally dressed himself in color and drove to Li Linfu's mansion to greet his relatives. Next to him are relatives and friends of the man's family. The Ye family is a micro clan, and there are not many relatives and friends in Chang'an City, but Ye Chang has a wide range of exchanges, from high-ranking officials and nobles to peddlers and pawns, and there are not many people who hear the news.
"Brother Liu, this matter of the prime minister has been tired." When Ye Chang boarded the car, he bowed to Liu Yan next to him
Now Liu Yan has also been transferred to Chang'an, he is rarely famous, and he has a contract with Ye Chang, and he can be transferred back to the capital from Luoyang, Ye Chang has made a lot of contributions, so he volunteered to be Ye Chang's prime minister.
"Just rest assured, I've been prepared," Liu Yan said with a smile.
"I have to do this minister" Liu Yan's voice fell, and there was humanity.
This person is in his twenties, similar in age to Ye Chang, with a strange appearance, and a smile. When Ye Chang saw him, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Li, why are you here?"
"I smell you so happy, how can I not come?" The person known as Brother Li looked at Liu Yan: "This is Brother Liu."
"Exactly...... It turned out to be you, Li Changyuan"
The character here is Li Mi Li Changyuan, he is also a young prodigy, when he was seven years old, he was a friend of the then prime minister Zhang Jiuling, and was known as a talented prime minister. He intersected with Ye Chang, which was also quoted in "The Wealth of Nations", and Ye Chang, who rebelled on the road construction site several times in the middle, slept on their feet, and had a very tacit understanding.
He came to compete with Liu Yan, Ye Changzhi and the two of them both wanted to join in the fun, but everyone next to him coaxed one after another, and the two of them did not give in to each other, and for a while, it was a lively again.
Seeing that the two couldn't hold each other, they heard someone shouting: "The groom's family welcomes the family, how can I not be a concubine."
Ye Chang got up in the car and looked at each other, only to see one person, handsome and handsome, floating like a fairy, coming slowly, but it was Li Bai
Li Bai traveled all over the world, heard that Ye Chang was married, and with the friendship between the two, he naturally wanted to enter Chang'an to congratulate. It's a little farther away, but it's going to be easy to catch up. His poems are famous, but Liu Yan and Li Mi don't give in, but Ye Chang said with a smile: "I don't know if there are no more people in the etiquette system?" Whatever is not denied is affirmation, in that case, I invite the three ministers, what do you think? ”
Everyone laughed, and immediately changed the clothes for the three of them, and then the car was changed, and they came to Li Linfu's mansion.
In front of Li Linfu's house, now it is also full of lights, according to the rules at this time, in front of the Li family, a small platform was also built. After the people who greeted their relatives arrived, Ye Chang took the stage first, and the prime minister and friends also followed, and then everyone shouted in unison: "Bride, urge out"
As soon as they shouted, hundreds of people around the car shouted in unison, and those people who came to see the excitement couldn't help but shout.
After calling for a while, the door of Li's mansion was closed, and then a crack was opened, and a person came out of it, but it was the master of ceremonies, and he smiled and said: "Ye Shiyilang's poems are outstanding, today's wedding, you can't do without poems, and ask for a book to urge a poem......"
Everyone applauded, this hypnotic poem is one of the manifestations of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty poetry, so there are many weddings, if the groom is not good at poetry, then the prime minister can also do it. Ye Chang's side is quite medium-sufficiency, but with Li Taibai here, he stepped forward with his beard, drank a full cup, and the cup was full of poetry. Everyone praised and applauded, but the female master of ceremonies shook her head and said, "Please also ask the groom to write a poem by himself, and the little woman Chen and the bride will play with it."
Ye Chang smiled, summoned pen and ink, and wrote with a wave of his pen: "In the past, I will go to Yujing to travel, and the first immortal Xu Fenghou; Today, I am fortunate to be the Qin Jin Association, and I will teach Luan Feng to make up the building in the morning. ”
Although this poem was copied and slightly changed, it also said that he knew Li Tengkong at the beginning, and praised Li Tengkong as the "first immortal", and everyone praised him. Even if it is not as subtle as Li Baishi, but the scene is integrated, and it should be above Li Baishi.
The woman's emcee was still insufficient, and said with a smile: "Good things are regarded as pairs, Lang Jun's poem is famous, how can one song be enough?"
Ye Chang began to splash ink again: "I don't know what night it is, urge Fengtai to get closer to the mirror platform; Who said that hibiscus is planted in water, and a branch opens in the glass mirror. ”
This poem is also changed to three words, originally made by Jia Island, at this time, this scene, is appropriate, everyone saw the sentence urging Fengtai to close the mirror, all laughed. Then there was humanity: "The bridegroom is in a hurry, bride, urge out"
The female master of ceremonies saw Ye Chang waving his pen, only that he had been prepared, but she was ordered by someone to make Ye Chang ugly, so she smiled again: "The groom is only eight buckets high, and he is rich in five cars, although the slave is a woman in the boudoir, he has already heard the name of the groom, and then asks the groom to urge a poem, and the slave will urge the bride to also."
Ye Chang copied two songs, so he was naturally not afraid to copy the third one, and then waved his pen again: "Chang'an has been welcoming the dust for thousands of years, and Mo Jiangfang will be even more late; Although it is said that time in the sky is different, and it is more leaked by the world. The smoke tree is hanging down and the apricot, and the picking child is holding the ring cup; The is not a fairy song, competing to lead Qin E down to the phoenix platform. ”
After Zi Shicheng was completed, Li Bai looked at it, and Da Lu smiled and waved behind him: "Drum music should be"
Suddenly, the sound of flutes, locks, and transverse flutes rose together. In this way, the female master of ceremonies could not say anything, so she could only retreat into it.
After a while, a saddle carved of sandalwood was placed in front of the door, and the crowd cheered, which proved that the woman was finally getting up.
The door of the Li Mansion was completely open, and the candles in the room were shining brightly. Under the cover of the fan, a woman in a hairpin dress, supported by a maidservant, came out and sat on the saddle for a while, meaning "peace", and then stepped over the saddle, and then got into the wedding car in a cheer.
As soon as she got in the car, she entered the Li Mansion, hugged the candles, and the candles on the happy car suddenly lit up, and the candles in the Li Mansion went out, Li Tengkong couldn't help but look back, and his heart was both happy and sweet, but also uneasy.
At this moment, in the Yuzhen Temple, Li Shouan saw the three hypnotic poems.
Li Shou'an, who was already depressed, couldn't sit still after seeing these three poems, and got up to go outside.
"Shou'an, what are you going to do?"
"He's going to get married, so why don't I sit here?" Shou An had tears in his eyes and looked back at the eldest princess Yuzhen: "Auntie, you say, you say, father, he doesn't help me, but why do you want to help her."
"Your father has his own considerations, although he is the lord of the world and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he also has helpless times
The eldest princess of Yuzhen sighed leisurely, since she learned that Ye Chang's marriage was irrevocable, and it was also Li Longji's marriage, Shou An refused to see Li Longji, and even left the palace several times. However, Li Longji, who had been prepared for a long time, stopped her, and now Yu Juan's side sent her to Yuzhen's side and asked the eldest princess Yuzhen to keep a closer eye on her.
"Then I don't care, he has his helplessness, but he shouldn't be like this" Shou An said angrily: "I...... I...... I'm going to get out of the shadows."
"What can you do if you go out, now that the wood is in the boat, the matter is decided, what else can you do when you go out, except for making jokes?" Yu Zhen sighed again: "Shou'an, I know your character, although you don't say it, but in your heart, do you really want others to sympathize with you or laugh at you?" ”
Shou An was speechless, of course she didn't want to be the object of pity.
"I have Zhuangzi in the royal house, if you are idle and bored, go over there."
"I have Zhuangzi in Liaodong, if I feel bored, I will naturally go to Liaodong...... I don't want to go back to Chang'an again" Shou An said with a crying voice: "Auntie, I want to become a monk, I want to be like you"
Yuzhen touched her hair, her heart was sour, she was forced to become a monk, how could she hope that this niece would also repeat her own journey.
"Before I become a monk, I want to go and see again, and I must see with my own eyes the excitement of his wedding...... If my aunt is not at ease, go with me" Seeing Yuzhen shaking his head, Shou An added: "Only watch in front of the gate...... Didn't he say that he was going to pass in front of our Yuzhen Temple? ”
Hearing her pleading, Yu Zhen's heart softened, unfortunately she was born in the emperor's family, and many things were out of her control. Shou An wants to take a look, so let her take a look, anyway, in front of her own view, she can't do anything out of the ordinary.
With Yuzhen's permission, Shou An wept again and said: "I know that Aunt Lu Dao treats me well, if I am my aunt's daughter, it would be fine."
Yuzhen has no heirs, and when she heard her say such childish words, she couldn't help but sigh, and hugged her and said, "Idiot, idiot...... I only complain about Ye Chang's evil obstacles, and I want to provoke you."
Lying in Yu Zhen's arms, although Shou'an had tears in his eyes, it was cold and flashing.
