Chapter 591: The Emperor is here
Wang Zhen had no choice but to keep up with the emperor's footsteps and also stood in the line to receive the candy.
"Line up, don't cut in line, there's a ......"
"This son, you're also here to get candy?" A young man dressed unusually appeared in Leng Buding, and the family of Meng Mansion was a little surprised.
There are regulations on the clothing of the officials and people of the Ming Dynasty, what profession to wear, although the rules are not so strict now, but this high-quality silk is not something that ordinary people can wear, once they wear clothes that do not match their identity, they will be sent to the government for justice!
The old Zhu family tried to draw a way for the people of the world and let them perform their duties, so that the Zhu family's country could go on for generations.
In fact, this is just his selfish ideal, the human heart is the most difficult to fathom, and he can be bound by these rules?
What's more, the emperors of later generations can be as ambitious as him, so the people have already let go of these rules.
As long as the merchant does not wear it on the street, which one wears less silk and satin at home?
Therefore, although the servants of this family were surprised, they didn't think there was anything wrong, today was a happy day for their master, and the officials who came to congratulate him didn't know how many.
Those merchants who want to befriend their own masters are even more unknown.
"I, I also want to be a little festive!" Zhu Qizhen almost leaked his mouth, but fortunately, he was a little anxious.
"Childe, you are really right, our family, that is a first-class good person, today he got married, and the guests of Daohe are all famous in the capital!"
"Huh." Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly, but he didn't have a head and a face, he was also the emperor.
"You take it, this is the candy made by Mrs. Yu in our house, it's delicious!" The servant said enthusiastically. can stand up to such a master, and it is also glorious to be a subordinate.
"Thank you!"
Zhu Qizhen took a bag of candy wrapped in cowhide and walked out of the team.
Soon, Queen Qian also came over excitedly with a bag of candy.
"Childe, it's the first time I've grown up to receive candy from someone else!" Queen Qian looked particularly excited, and the tip of her nose was shining. A layer of white sweat broke out.
"Me too, this candy smells good, let me try it?" Zhu Qizhen opened the paper bag, took out a candy and put it in his mouth.
"Childe......" Wang Zhen was startled, the emperor has to let people try anything first.
"What's wrong, sir?"
"Childe, why do you eat this thing casually?" Wang Zhen also received a bag of candy and hurriedly ran over.
"No, it's not. It's delicious, you can try it too! Zhu Qizhen didn't think so, ate one, thought it was good, and ate another one.
Queen Qian also curiously took a piece and put it in her mouth, chewed it a few times, and her eyes lit up: "It's really delicious, sweet and crispy." ”
"Ouch. My master, how can such food get into the mouths of the two of you? ”
"What's wrong. Mr. Wang, what I'm talking about doesn't seem to be fireworks in the world, this is also a folk snack bar, I eat it occasionally, and it can be regarded as a reflection of the people's feelings, right? ”
"Childe. It doesn't matter if you eat, before you eat, why do you let the old slave help you taste it first? ”
"Mr. Wang is too worried, you see, these people are not all eating. It's okay, you're too careful. Zhu Qizhen was a little unhappy.
Wang Zhen looked at it, and indeed many people who got the candy ate it, and they were all very happy, as if something had happened.
In front of the steps of the gate of the Meng Mansion.
"Get off the sedan chair, press the sedan car!"
"Brother Meng, please bring the bride out!" Yang Dan stepped forward, smiled at Meng Yan, and saluted.
"Good!" Meng Yan nodded, didn't step forward, and walked to the sedan chair, it was originally Bai Suxin who came to open the sedan curtain, but now Bai Suxin is injured, and she can only have Xiao Taohong, the personal girl, to do it for her.
These are all subsections, so don't worry too much about it.
"Yue'er, we're home."
Guo Yue nodded in agreement, Meng Yan reached in and walked out of the sedan chair with Guo Yue's left hand.
"The bride is out, look, it's so beautiful!"
"Pretty, don't you know who the bride is?"
“……”
There are no direct elders in Meng Yan's family, so some etiquette is simple, and he directly holds hands and slowly steps into the middle door and enters the mansion!
After entering, bypassing the wall, a red carpet was rolled out to the wedding hall, and a pair of big red wedding candles with the thickness of a baby's arm illuminated the entire wedding hall.
The guests were already almost in place, and at a glance, there were many acquaintances and subordinates, most of whom were Jinyi Wei.
Those who came today were either their own subordinates, or the subordinates of the old father-in-law Guo Nu, and then some of Meng Yan's friends in the court, of course, most of them were young officials who were not too high-level.
Of course, those who can enter Meng Yan's eyes must be talented, and their future prospects are limitless.
For example, Hanlin Bachelor, the champion of public business.
Then there are some people from the Tai Hospital, although Meng Yan is not from the Tai Hospital, but his medical skills are superb, and they are all seen by everyone.
Besides, Wen Liangdong is here, these imperial doctors, except that they really don't know how to behave, it's not an exaggeration to come to cheer.
Moreover, the imperial doctors are relatively detached, and they are not involved in the overall situation of the court, so they don't have to worry about what trouble they will bring to themselves by befriending Jinyiwei.
However, there are some people, even if you invite them, they will not come, such as the six Shangshu, the governor of the five armies, and some of the nobles and nobles.
It's good that these people can take a personal gift to send a congratulatory gift, even if they are invited, they may not come.
If you don't come, Meng Yan doesn't mind, as long as you don't have malicious intentions, you have to understand the difficulties of others, after all, this is in the officialdom, it is unpredictable, and the official is not for himself, so when he asks about the crime, he is a big family.
Meng Yan originally held Guo Yue's hand, but when he arrived at the red carpet, he quietly let go and let Guo Yue hold a piece of red silk in his hand instead.
Although this is all a small section, it can't give people an invisible and dissolute image in the eyes of so many guests.
"Now, a couple of newcomers are invited to come forward!" Wen Liangdong and Yang Dan shouted in unison!
"Yue'er, follow me."
Guo Yue nodded, and Meng Yan was about to walk forward. Suddenly, Guo Xiaochao came from behind him and whispered a few words in Meng Yan's ear.
Meng Yan's face changed slightly.
"Brother Guo, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's all right, my lords. Friend, an old friend of this official is here, let me go over and receive it, and I'll come over in a while! Meng Yan hugged his fists.
"This ......" Meng Yan left the venue suddenly, which surprised the guests, and they didn't understand what was going on, and they all guessed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my lord has indeed gone to see an old friend, who I haven't seen for more than ten years. After a short delay, he will come over at once. Guo Xiaochao hurriedly stood up and explained.
"Brother Guo, your family really ......," Wen Liangdong, who served as the prime minister, also asked suspiciously.
"I don't know, when the adults come back, you can just ask him." Guo Xiaochao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Look, my lord, it's this folding fan!" Cai Jin was already waiting at the door and handed Meng Yan a folding fan.
Meng Yan took a closer look. There was a look of shock in his eyes: "What about people? ”
"Outside the door, there were seven or eight guards. That's why I asked Guo Gongzi to ask for advice. Cai Jin said.
"Quick, you go, invite people in, don't go to the front yard, please go directly to the study!" Meng Yan Road.
He is now the bridegroom's officer. This body goes out, it's too eye-catching, if it's really that person, it will inevitably cause trouble, so it's better to let Cai Jin go.
"Okay. What do I say, my lord? ”
"Mr. Cai, you say ...... so"
"Okay, I see!"
"I'll go first, wait for you in the study, and I'm going to visit the church." Meng Yan said secretly, if you don't come early, if you don't come late, you only come now, isn't this a surprise to him?
However, what can he do, he is a king, he is a minister, and the way of a king and a minister is always to be spoken.
Who made it such a rule now?
Meng Yan hurried to the study, and after about three or five minutes, Cai Jin led the disguised emperor and Empress Qian to the study of Meng's mansion.
As soon as Meng Yan raised his head, sure enough, it was the emperor himself who came, and he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "Weichen Meng Yan doesn't know that the saint is coming, and he has missed the welcome, please surrender to the saint!" ”
"Aiqing, please get up quickly, it's me who came abruptly, I don't blame you!" Zhu Qizhen reached over and helped Meng Yan up.
"Thank you!"
"I've seen the Queen!"
"Chitose Niang!" Meng Yan had already recognized that Queen Qian was also coming with her, and bowed down in fear.
"Meng Qing's family is flat!"
"The saint suddenly came to the humble house, making the minister's house flourish, but Weichen really didn't prepare at all......"
"Aiqing doesn't have to be embarrassed, I'm a friend today, and I've come to Aiqing to ask for a glass of water and wine, I don't know if there's one?" Zhu Qizhen asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, it's just that the saint is dressed like this, if he appears at Weichen's wedding banquet, I'm afraid it will cause a sensation?" Meng Yan was a little worried, he could recognize the emperor, there were many of the guests who came today who had seen the emperor, if he did, it would be really troublesome.
Although it is said that the emperor came to his wedding banquet in person, this kind of glory will not be found for eight lifetimes, but it will also bring him endless trouble.
"So, Meng Aiqing, you have to help me think of a way not to make people recognize me!" Zhu Qizhen said.
"This ......" Meng Yan was stumped, he was still waiting for himself in front of him, what can he do for a while?
Only the disguise!
"Saint, Weichen has a way, I don't know if it's okay?"
"Tell me about it!"
"Weichen found someone to give you a disguise, stained your beard, and then changed into older clothes, and dressed you up as an outsider, what do you think?" Meng Yan Road.
"This is a good idea!" Zhu Qizhen nodded, this is also the intention of his private interview, if it is recognized, it will be meaningless, "What about the queen?" ”
"Niangniang has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and there are not many people who know her, not to mention that Niangniang is now dressed as a teenager, and there are even fewer people who recognize it, Niangniang doesn't need to change her appearance anymore!"
"Makes sense!"
"As for Wang Weng, there are too many people familiar with your face, and it's not impossible not to be recognized, but time is too tight, so I can only be wronged first, stay in the official study and don't go out."
Wang Zhen was full of resentment, but he couldn't express it, and even if he objected, the emperor wouldn't listen.
"General Fan, in this official mansion, you shouldn't be worried about the safety of the saint, right?"
"Master Meng said with a smile, in your house, Lao Fan, I came all the way just now, it is like the Longtan Tiger's Den, what do I have to worry about."
"Holy Lord, what do you think of Weichen's arrangement?"
"Very well, you can rest here for a while, and then meet me after I finish the ceremony!" Zhu Qizhen ordered.
"Whoa!" (To be continued......)
