Chapter 394: A Thousand Miles of Marriage

"Do you have any arrangements?" Wei Kang smiled and said, he also knew that Wei Erlang's wedding had a different meaning, and the Yunguo Mansion had the intention of cooperating with the saint to rejoice in Chang'an.

"Wait" Dugu Xinci pointed to the street, and a team of knights galloped over.

The knights were Bai Yujing and other members of the Changying Society, and the martial arts did not dismount, Dugu Xinci ordered everyone to line up and let the people of the Wei Mansion hand them the gifts.

Then after some explanation, the first team was Yelu Shaotang of the Children's Hall, with three people, four horses and four big red and gold flags to set off.

The four teenagers are all dressed in red and white horses, and there are words on the flag "Webster's Erlang Nacai Yi"

Every half an hour, a team was set out, and eight teams of twenty-four boys were sent out in a row.

Then I invited Sister Da Yan, that is, the official media invited by Wei's to get into the carriage, and Bai Yujing, the spring water, the cold blowing snow, Xiao Mo and other sixty-four horsemen hugged and walked forward.

Xue Wangfu was originally in the northeast corner of Pingkangfang, the two squares are relatively separated from Chunmingmen Street, which is very close, but Dugu Xinci instructed the messenger boy and the follow-up convoy to start from the west gate of Pingkangfang, go around the main fang, Xingdaofang, Shanhefang, Taipingfang, Yanshoufang until the West Market, and then go to Chunmingmen Street, take the Zhuque Gate, go north in Chongrenfang, pass Yongxingfang Yongchangfang Guangzhai Fang to Danfeng Gate in front of Daming Palace, and then follow Changle Fang, Daning Fang, Anxing Fang, enter at the east gate of Shengye Fang opposite Xingqing Palace.

This circle walked for nearly an hour, twenty-four red-clothed boys held high the red flag and slowly alarmed a lot of Chang'an people, the back sixty-four martial arts, handsome and strong, Yan Ran's kind of ugly people were excluded, Bai Yujing, Xiao Mo and others are all first-class handsome men, all the way attracted a lot of onlookers, to Shengyefang almost half of Chang'an City knew that today is the day of Wei's to Xue Wangfu.

In front of the fangmen, there were already thousands of people watching the excitement, and Dugu Xinci instructed the big bear to scatter the Yuan Tongbao from the carriage, and sprinkled hundreds of times.

After entering the fangmen, many residents came to see the excitement, almost blocking the road to Xue Wang's house.

It took another half an hour to make trouble before coming to King Xue's mansion on the west side of Cross Street.

Xue Wangye, the fifth son of the sage of Ruizong, the younger brother of the current sage, when he was young, due to the early death of his mother Concubine Wang, Yan Ye was raised by his mother's sister Concubine Wang Fangmei. In eight years, welcoming Concubine Wang Xian to the outer house was very cautious. His sister Huaiyang and the second princess of Liangguo also died early, and raised her nephew the same as her own son. The saint appreciated him very much. Yan Ye once fell ill, and the saint personally blessed him. When he healed, the saint went to his house and put wine and poems for the joy of the newborn.

The saint is friendly to his brothers, and the holy calendar is at the beginning of the house, ranking first in the eastern capital Jishanfang, and the five people live together in the branch, called the "Five Kings' Mansion". In the first year of Dazu, from Xingxijing, the house was given in Xingqingfang, also known as the "Five Kings' Mansion". And after the congenital, Xingqing is the old residence of Longqian, because it is a palace. Xian gave a house in the southeast corner of Shengye, Shen Wang Zhuan and Qi Wang Fan gave a house in the southeast of Anxingfang, and Xue Wangye gave a house in the northwest corner of Shengye. Xuanzong placed a building in the southwest of Xingqing Palace, the west side is inscribed to be the building of the calyx Xianghui, and the south side is inscribed to be the building of the diligent government affairs book. When Xuanzong went upstairs, he heard the sound of the king's music, and Xianzhao went upstairs to sit down with him for a banquet, or he was fortunate to be the first, and gave gold and silk, and rewarded him. The kings meet at the side gate every day, and after returning to the house, they play music and drink, hit the ball and fight cocks, or the suburbs from the birds, or the villa to chase rewards, and the years go by. The place of wandering, the envoys looked at each other, thinking that the Son of Heaven was friendly, incomparable in ancient times, so people were inseparable.

There is the favor of the saint, the Xue Wang's mansion is naturally luxurious, not to mention the wide area, the prince's ceremonial house is also splendid, compared with the Liaoyang County King There are few servants in the military mansion, the weather is second only to the royal Xingqing Palace opposite.

Eight teams of twenty boys have lined up in front of King Xue's Mansion, and the steward of King Xue's Mansion has also lined up eight people to greet them, and the regulations are different from usual.

Wei Kang took the lead in dismounting, invited out the eldest sister, and Dugu Xinci followed with her eyebrows down.

The stewards of Xue Wang's Mansion welcomed the guests into the main hall, and Xue Wangye and the princess sat upright.

At this time, it is the time for the eldest sister to show her skills, the eldest sister is also called the matchmaker, the old moon, the requirements are naturally one to be delicate, two to be pretty, three to be able to speak and be able to say, four to be accurate, five to be fast, six to be brave enough to take stilts, seven to capture seven longitudinal Kong Ming, eight exquisite like Cao Cao, nine turns to marry a girl, ten to catch nine stable turtles.

Today's Kaiyuan Miscellaneous Newspaper also published an article introducing Sister Da Yan, written by an idler from Gongchuan, that is, Dugu Xinci, the general of Hou Tianxing in the Far East, who carefully compiled a story, saying that a scholar named Wei Gu passed by the city at night, and met an old man sitting on the side of the road with a big pocket, flipping through a big book in the moonlight. Wei Gu curiously asked him what book he was looking through, and the old man replied that this was the marriage book of the people of the world. Wei Gu asked the old man what was in the big bag, and the old man replied, "With a red rope, as long as you tie the feet of a man and a woman to a red rope, even if they are enemies who do not share the same sky, or strangers who are thousands of miles apart, they will definitely become husband and wife." Later, there was a saying that "a thousand miles of marriage is a thread".

If the story is compiled, if there is a real thing, but King Xue still has to stand upright, this is common sense.

"Wei's Erlang is like a jade Langjun, he is brilliant, has a gentle temperament, and has to marry the lord of Enping County, which is a match made in heaven" Sister Balabala said.

King Xue deliberately showed embarrassment, saying that it was not easy to adopt a daughter, and he needed to take more time to bear his knees.

After several confrontations, King Xue frowned and reluctantly agreed to Wei's proposal.

Dugu was disdainful in his heart, but he still couldn't hold back his smile, and sat on the chair of the Taishi of King Xue's Mansion with Wei Kang to drink a few cups of tea, and finally it was time to ask for his name.

The name of the lord of Enping County is Yanxin, who doesn't know the people of Chang'an? But that's the process.

The name also includes the woman's eight characters, which should be taken back for the third of the six rites, that is, to go to their ancestral temple for the male and female eight characters, and only when they close will they proceed to the next step of recruitment, invitation, that is, to send a dowry to set the wedding date.

It's noon, and finally get the name of the county lord of Enping, Wei's people should be withdrawn, and King Xue should have let everyone leave after a little retention, but he forced Dugu Xinci to leave Mobao.

Dugu Xinci couldn't, he ate early in the morning, and in order to go back to the luncheon early, he wrote a poem with a pendulum:

Dry and dry, in the suburbs of Jun. Su silk is silky, and good horses are four.

Why do you want to do it? In the capital of Jun.

The silk group is the five, and the good horse is five. Why? Dry and dry.

In the city of Jun, Su Si wishes it, and the good horse is six. How?

The meaning is: a high oxtail flag, slowly driving to the outskirts of Juncheng. The bundles of cloth were clearly distinguished, and the four horses also came together. asked to marry the beautiful girl, and gave this dowry for Nacai. A high eagle-patterned banner slowly drove to the countryside outside Juncheng. Bundles of cloth are piled up layer by layer, and the five horses are finely selected. asked to marry that beautiful girl, and gave this special dowry to Nacai. The black feather flag, which was high with a pole, slowly drove into Juncheng. Bundles of cloth were piled up on carts, and six horses were carefully selected. A dowry gift for these Nacai.

Xue Wangye also wanted to let a few of today's writers go to the year to explore the flower Dugu Xinci to write new poems, but he was politely refused.

Lunch was a meal of Xie Coal in the Star Picking Building, Wei Kang returned to Wei's Mansion with the bag containing the woman's maiden name, and Dugu Xinci returned to Qingchuan early, and the atmosphere in Chang'an was a little weird, which made him a little depressed.

Back in Qingchuan, Yang Liulang Yang Siqiao came again with the holy decree, this time to reprimand the Far Eastern Hou Tianxing General for not advancing the garrison regardless of public opinion.

The punishment is not heavy, the rank is reduced from the upper protector to the protector, it is not painful, the fine salary of three years is even more dragonfly, and the Jingzhao Mansion of the third grade is a bit intriguing if he is deposed, which means that his purple robe is gone, and he can only wear the shallow scarlet of the fifth grade in the future, which is considered to be two levels in a row, but if it is judged by the generals, the leading general of the three grades can wear purple, but it has to be covered with bright armor.

Yang Siqiao mixed another drink of wine, and Dugu Xinci kept smiling, seemingly satisfied with escaping the catastrophe.

Dugu Xinci's current duty division also has the county order of Wannian County on the five products, the chief of the three products is the general of the Suwei Tianxing, the title is the protector of the three products, the Wen San official is the silver blue purple light doctor of the three products, and the Wu San official is the Huaihua general of the three products.

But Dugu Xinci is still the highest-ranking young official in the dynasty.

One day later, there was also a change in the county government of Wannian County, and Du Juan was transferred to Chang'an County to serve as the county leader.

Dugu Xinci went to the long-lost Wannian County County the next day, the county Cheng Wen Gu Yan, the main book Wei Qing Zhang Yaoting, the record Jiang He Jiangsi, the county lieutenant Wang Yong, Lu Si, Han Qu, Wu Huan, Yan Qifeng, Lu Shuang were very surprised, gathered together to chat with their own Ming Mansion.

"Du Xiancheng's duty secretary Ru and the others will divide it first, and a certain household department will not send people over so quickly," Dugu Mingfu said while drinking tea.

But before a few people could react, Pei Yaoqing, the servant of the ministry, brought someone over, and couldn't help but bring a county man named Wang Gan, as well as a chief bookkeeper and three county lieutenants, and transferred the original Wei Qing and Wang Yong, Lu Si Hanqu.

Dugu Xinci frowned the whole time, and the officials could be regarded as dismantling most of their team in Wannian County, but they still looked at it coldly.

Pei Yaoqing used to be the county magistrate of Wannian County, looking at the familiar scene and unfamiliar faces, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, it has only been more than a year? Things are not people.

"Pei Shilang, this time I will admit it, if you and others toss Wannian County again, then don't blame a certain spill" After the group of people was finished, Dugu Xinci said coldly.

"What did Dugu Mingfu say? Who tossed Wannian County? Pei Yaoqing was not angry, and said calmly.

"A certain person knows what is going on in his heart, the placement of the officials who went out of Wannian County this time is still appropriate, so he doesn't care about it, and now he won't move the subordinate officials of Wannian County, right? I hope you will try again," Dugu Xinci said unceremoniously.

"Dugu Ming Mansion, Wannian County's outstanding political achievements last year are all clear, the reasonable allocation of officials is the duty of the ministry, you don't have to worry too much, you can rest assured, Wannian County is the head of a thousand counties, and everyone wants it to be stable" Pei Yaoqing's temperament is very good.

"That's good, Wang Xiancheng still has a few new colleagues, a certain is called Dugu Xinci, you and others remember, a certain has no requirements for you, and everything is good for a certain person to do a good job of their respective duties, if anyone gives a certain Hulai, don't blame a certain for being unkind; Don't give someone something that you don't have, you can kill three thousand rebels on the street, and you don't care about a few more" Dugu Xinci instructed the newly recruited subordinate officers in front of the servants.

"Dugu Mingfu, you have passed it, right? They are all officials of the imperial court, and if they make mistakes, they will be impeached by the imperial history, and the officials will take the exam, so you can't mess around" Pei Yaoqing was a little annoyed this time.

"Really? A certain is not a father-in-law, a certain stomach can't support a boat, a certain is not troublesome and is not afraid of things, there are two and there can be three, Pei Shilang, you and other psychology is also better to count, a certain does not care about the Ming Mansion of the head of a thousand counties, by the way, help a certain to bring the resignation to the Ministry of Officials" Dugu Xinci took out a letter from his backpack.

"What are you doing? You are doing well in Wannian County, what do you want to resign? Pei Yaoqing frowned.

"It's best for you to approve a certain resignation, it's okay not to allow it, it's good not to make trouble, it's better to make trouble than anyone else" Dugu Xinci continued to threaten.

"Okay, I won't approve your resignation from Wannian County, and I will bring your meaning to Wang Shangshu and all the ministers" Pei Yaoqing couldn't sit still, and left with Dugu Xinci's resignation.

"Everyone, let's disperse, Wen Xiancheng, you arrange the duty of your new colleagues, remember the words of so-and-so, don't want to do much but are not afraid of things, okay, go to the Star Picking Building to set a table for you, and at noon send off old colleagues to welcome new colleagues" Dugu Xinci rubbed his eyebrows and ordered.

"You arrived in Chang'an County, and you are in the same city as a certain Wannian, don't give a whole grudge between the two counties, you will also help watch the point here for Wannian." Dugu Xinci said to Du Juan at the table.

"It's hard for a certain person to go to Chang'an County to hide for a while, and you will return it to a certain office?" Du Juan said with a smile.

"You're going to hide? Thou shalt go to the top of the thunder; Forget it, with the Du family protecting you, there shouldn't be much to do, okay, if you go to the new office and encounter grievances, just come to find a certain person to complain, and a certain person will give you a head out" Dugu Xinci promised a few old subordinates.

"I went to Lantian County, and I was closer to the Ming Mansion" Wei Qing, the original master bookkeeper, went to Lantian County to serve as a county magistrate, he was already mild-mannered, but he didn't have much trouble with it.

"Well, then, what about the other courtyard of a certain court under your jurisdiction? Wei Xiancheng, take more care of it? Dugu Xinci also smiled.

"You haven't left Gyeonggi, but you have gone to Jiangnan East Road, the mountains are high and the road is far away, I don't know when you will be able to go home?" County Lieutenant Wang Yong was very depressed, although he went, he was promoted to join the army.

"You can only be free away from Beijing, and you don't have to be angry with the princes and nobles" Dugu Xinci comforted.

After a feast, everyone dispersed, and each had a thousand tastes.

That night, Dugu Xinci continued to stay in Kyoto and stayed overnight in the palace of Liaoyang County, but he was about to start Wei Erlang's gift of acceptance in the daytime.

A few days ago, the matter of Wei Mansion to Xue Wangfu Nacai caused a sensation in the whole city, and Kaiyuan Miscellaneous News also made a special feature, not only describing the marriage between the two mansions, but also serializing the legend of the West Chamber of the Rim Sichuan idler:

In Zhenyuan, there is Zhang Sheng, who is gentle in nature, beautiful in appearance, strong and lonely in his heart, and indecent and inadmissible. or friends wandering around the feast, disturbing the intermediary, others are all raging, if it will not be enough; Zhang Sheng is just obedient, and he can't mess up. I thought I was twenty-three years old, and I didn't taste close to women. The knower criticized it, and Xie said: "If the disciple is not a womanizer, he has a murderous deed." Yu is really a womanizer, and it is not worth it. Why? The most important thing is not to stay in the heart, and it is the one who knows that it is not forgetful. "The one who knows it.

.......

This is a short story, much shorter than Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it still brings an increase to the sales of Kaiyuan Miscellaneous News.

Thousands of miles of marriage are tied by a thread, and the night is depressed and lovesick. The lonely goose shadow looks at the moon alone, only envying the mandarin duck and not the immortal.
