Chapter 141: Self-Defense
Generally speaking, we don't go to other people's weddings or funerals.
Because all his friends are here.
That's why we call the "groom", also called the "groom's official", today he is enjoying the treatment of the official, or he has to rent a BMW, or Lincoln lengthen, if you smash his field, a group of guests will help him.
But today is an exception.
Zhao Guangyi stood up at Xu Yongzhi's wedding and held him accountable for marrying two wives together - Zhao Guangyi is the governor of Kaifeng, not only in charge of the law and education in the land, but also to correct the illegality and etiquette of dignitaries.
In other words, he came out to hold him accountable, which seems to be unkind, but in fact it is the duty of an official.
And because he was talking, no one dared to speak up, defend, or persuade peace.
"Second brother," Xu Yongzhi accompanied him with a smiling face, "I'm in a hurry to go to the cave room today, can I talk about it tomorrow?" β
Several generals couldn't help laughing, and they were naughty and mischievous, like Zhao Guangmei, and they had already snorted and laughed.
"Don't you want to amuse me!" Zhao Guangyi has a straight face, since the change of dynasty, his face has become more and more gloomy, he no longer looks like a small version of Zhao Kuangyin, but more like an enlarged version of Zhao Pu.
"This sentence seems to be said by Li Lianqiao," Xu Yongzhi thought secretly.
He immediately understood that behind this was Li Lianqiao's support and instigation.
"Xu Jin will try to amuse you when he faces accountability, don't be fooled." Xu Yongzhi can come up with that scene - Li Lianqiao must have said so.
"Also, who is your second brother?" Zhao Guangyi added another sentence.
"The official family issued an order just now, today they are all friends and brothers, there are no superiors and subordinates, if there is no such sentence, I'm afraid everyone will not dare to sit down."
This is true, Zhao Kuangyin just said.
"The official family is right, but this is under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Mansion, you blatantly violate the laws of the Song Dynasty, if I don't correct it, where is the majesty of this royal law?" Zhao Guangyi hurriedly looked at the civil and military generals around him who were good with him.
"yes" "Makes sense", the group began to nod in a low voice.
A bad situation, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to see how Xu Yongzhi coped, the exam questions were made by him, Xu Yongzhi had to answer the questions, and if he didn't hand in the papers, he couldn't enter this cave room.
"Lord Wang, you just said that Xu Jin violated the royal law, I don't know what Xu Jin committed?" Xu Yongzhi was polite and made a long gesture.
"You marry two wives a day, what's going on?" Zhao Guangyi looked elated, but grabbed the pigtails.
"Lord, these two did attend the chapel, but not all of them were wives." Xu Yongzhi said.
"What a liqueur! Then one of them is a concubine! You tell me, how can there be a reason in the world to worship with a concubine, and taking a concubine as a wife is also a year in prison! Zhao Guangyi had already prepared his rhetoric, like a righteous and awe-inspiring prosecutor.
Lord Wang Pu frowned secretly, it was really a dead knot, how could a young man who was well-read and well-versed in "The Legend of the Spring and Autumn Ram" make such a low-level mistake? He thought about it, and he didn't know how to save Xu Yongzhi.
"Wait, The Legend of the Ram?" There was a lightning bolt in Wang Pu's mind, and his heart suddenly became clear, and he immediately changed his relaxed expression and smiled slightly.
Fan Zhen and Wei Renpu over there haven't figured it out yet - in the final analysis, in terms of intelligence, it is still Wang Pu and me, the first in the cabinet.
But he changed his mind again, and couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
Because Xu Yongzhi seems to have figured out how to accept the recruitment, it seems that his students' knowledge is still above him.
Here, Xu Yongzhi was not in a hurry and turned to Zhao Kuangyin.
"Official."
This turn is very important, this is not the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, you Zhao Er can't judge me, the official family is here, I want to speak to the official family.
"Say it, Xu Jin." Zhao Kuangyin agreed.
"None of these two women are concubines." Xu Jin said.
"Are you crazy?" Zhao Guangyi shouted.
"King Jin only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other, in fact, Xu Jin got married today, but he followed the ancient chapel." Xu Yongzhi said.
"Ancient rites?" Zhao Guangyi looked dazed.
"This is my lady Duan, my wife."
"This Xiong is a concubine (pronounced hard)."
"The two of them are friendly, so they decided to marry me and marry me, which is a common practice in the Spring and Autumn Ancient Rites." Xu Yongzhi said.
When Sister Qiao heard this, her face changed color.
"What? Dowry? What does hard mean? I wanted to speak. β
But when he looked at the other side, Xiaogui was massaging Xiong Shihai in the guest table with his elbow on his shoulder, with a gesture of affection and filial piety.
However, if you look closely at Xiaogui's palm, it is placed on Xiong Shihai's big vertebral acupoint.
Xiaogui silently warned Sister Qiao with his mouth and shook his head gently.
No matter how bold Sister Qiao is, she understands what this means, lowers her head, and listens to Xu Yongzhi with peace of mind.
"Wang Xianggong, is there such a thing?" Zhao Kuangyin looked at Wang Pu, we have to find a knowledgeable person to ask.
"Back to Your Majesty, this concubine system, there are ancient rites, and there is another name for concubine, called little wife, her status is higher than that of concubines, and she can appear at weddings." Lord Wang Pu talked eloquently.
This is the time to do Zhao Guangyi here.
Li Lianqiao has a lot of ruthless tricks, but this woman has too little reading, and she really expects this trick to pick up Xu Yongzhi, who would have thought that there would be this kind of ancient rite here.
Fortunately, Zhao Guangyi also has allies, and Lord Fan Zhen came up to reason.
"Since ancient times, Mei should have the same surname and the same clan, I heard that the Duan family is from Hebei, and the Xiong family is from Ezhou, how can these two be people of the same race?"
Zhao Guangyi immediately regained his courage, and we also have a hard hand!
"Xu Jin, explain!"
"That's interesting to say." Xu Yongzhi said.
"Don't be verbose, say." Zhao Guangyi said.
"Xiong's grandfather is a famous doctor in the south of the Yangtze River, and now he works in Shanzitang, this old gentleman is superb in medicine, so Duan's father-in-law is too real, not long ago he worshipped the old man as a teacher, and also recognized his father-in-law, this apprenticeship and the ceremony of recognizing father and son are also complete, and there is a witness, that is, Mr. Wang Zuo." Xu Yongzhi said.
Lord Wang Zuo patted his chest, "That's right, I have bowed to both of them!" β
Everyone knows Wang Zuo's style, just now the saber rattling, seeing that someone was about to be sentenced, and now that Wang Zuo was suddenly troubled, everyone couldn't help it anymore, and they all laughed.
"So speaking of which, the Duan family and the Xiong family are sisters with different surnames, and they are both granddaughters of Mr. Xiong Shihai, and it is only fitting that the two of them marry together." Xu Yongzhi said.
At this moment, Lord Fan's mouth immediately closed.
Zhao Guangyi was still unwilling, so he fought to the death.
"The same grandfather is called a cousin, where is the reason for cousins with different surnames! Of course, these brothers and sisters are considered to be relatives, but can brothers and sisters who are sworn worship also follow their relatives? Can the one who recognizes it be the same as the one who kisses! Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but say this.
This sentence is so offensive.
Xu Yongzhi doesn't care, Zhao Er scolds him, and he has to bear it.
But Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi, and several other Yishe brothers are all Zhao Kuangyin's sworn brothers, and he offended nine people with one mouth.
Shi Shouxin stood up at that time.
"Old Shi, what are you doing?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.
"Go to the thatched house!" Shi Shouxin went out.
"Lord Shi, this king is not talking about you!" Zhao Guangyi hurriedly made up for it.
Wang Xianqi thought for a while: "It's not him, that's me......"
Wang Xianqi is also leaving.
Zhao Pu hurriedly carried around, got up and invited these two to come back, he collected money to eliminate disasters for others, if he really left, not only Xu Jin's face, but Zhao Kuangyin couldn't stand it.
"Second child," Zhao Kuangyin looked at his younger brother, "You, you're drunk." β
"Brother is not guilty!" Zhao Guangyi fell to his knees.
"Official family, Xu Jin's father has only been mourned for a year, and he will marry at this time, this person is not filial, how can he talk about loyalty?"
This is Zhao Guangyi's last resort.
Those who marry during the mourning period will also be impeached, after all, they are doing things in a confused way.
"Official," Zhao Pu said.
Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed.
He is a counselor and has the right to impeach him, if he opens his mouth to impeach Xu Yongzhi, Xu Yongzhi, an official, will be gone.
And Zhao Pu has always disliked Xu Yongzhi.
"Zeping, I want to hear your opinion."
"From Bianzhou to Qingzhou, on the first line of the Yellow River, there is such a folk custom, and it is the last wish of the parents to marry during the mourning period; The second is that if there are close relatives and elders in the family, you can marry, but in order to prove your helplessness and unbearability, you have to use dark red happy words. Zhao Pu said.
"I've heard of that, too." Zhao Kuangyin nodded, he traveled south and north, and saw the most.
"Xu Jin's marriage is exactly the last wish of his parents." Xu Yongzhi said.
"What about the permission of the elders?" Zhao Guangyi said weakly.
"I'm here!"
A middle-aged man shouted.
The man wore ill-fitting satin clothes (he had recently gained weight due to his recent improvements) and had a short beard.
While agreeing, he was busy eating the big carp of the Yellow River.
"I am Xu Jin's uncle, I allowed him to marry, I think young people should have at least two children before the age of 25, and it is best to have five children before the age of 40!"
It's none other than Tian Dabang, the first person in the wizarding world to urge marriage and give birth.
"Qiqi Guan's family, this is the minister's maternal uncle, the minister's uncle is proficient in machinery, and the hand-pulled trebuchet used to attack Zezhou before is his design." Xu Yongzhi introduced.
"What a talent, I respect this uncle with a glass of wine." Zhao Kuangyin was very happy.
It's not a wine, the emperor toasts with you, what a face!
Tian Dabang drank a big cup tons and tons, very happy, "Mingjun! β
Huo Xiang hurriedly pulled his clothes and asked him to sit down.
"But ......," Zhao Guangyi wanted to say something.
"Second, sit down." Zhao Kuangyin said.
Zhao Kuangyin stood up.
Xu Yongzhi knelt down.
"Yongzhi is my little brother, and all of you brothers who worship me are brothers." Zhao Kuangyin paced over and patted Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi.
"They're all my brothers!" Old man Wang Zuo was also elated.
"I gave Yongzhi a problem, I asked her to marry Xiong, but I knew that his fiancΓ©e was Duan, and he dodged everything that went wrong and did a very good job." Zhao Kuangyin said.
"Official, what do you mean by this marriage?" Zhao Guangyi regretted it.
"Yes, I asked for it." Zhao Kuangyin said.
Zhao Guangyi wanted to slap himself in the mouth, but after thinking about it, it was better to go back and tie up Li Forsythia and beat him to relieve his hatred, he was miserable by this woman this time.
"Yongzhi," Zhao Kuangyin said, "congratulations." β
"We are all sons and daughters in troubled times, it is a good thing that Tianding is imported, and we will all be civil and military generals of the Great Song Dynasty in the future."
As soon as this characterization came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Second child, I'm going to punish you." Zhao Kuangyin looked serious.
Now everyone has to worry about Zhao Guangyi.
Xu Yongzhi fell to the ground again.
"Official, King Jin has put forward higher requirements for his ministers, don't punish him on today's happy day."
"No, it must be punished." Zhao Kuangyin said.
"The younger brother pleaded guilty." Zhao Guangyi looked depressed.
"Punish you, drink three!" Zhao Kuangyin stuffed the big bowl and wine jar into Zhao Guangyi's hands.
There was a cheer in the hall.
Festive music is up.
Duan Meimei put her heart down at this moment, and she suddenly remembered the sentence of pity.
"Officials are people who do great things, and they must have made good arrangements."
I have loved Xu Yongzhi for so many years, is my trust in him not as good as a little girl?
She suddenly felt a little self-reproach and grabbed Xu Yongzhi's hand tightly.
After watching this life-and-death fight, Sister Qiao understood what a real court is and what a real battle of wits and courage is.
Her face was pale, and she understood that Xu Yongzhi was not as good as she thought before.
"My husband didn't deal with me, he didn't hurt me, because I was my own person."
"I've decided, I'm going to be nice to you." She thought to herself.
She stretched out one hand and held Xu Yongzhi's other hand.
Duan Meimei saw Sister Qiao's expression, and also reached out to hold Sister Qiao's empty hand, for the overall situation? Or did you accept this girl? I don't know, anyway, at that moment, she had the idea of experiencing life and death, and everyone didn't need to hate it anymore.
The hands of the three men were clasped together.
Xiaogui looked at this lively wedding and suddenly felt a little lonely.
She took care of Xiong Shihai to eat and drink well, and walked out of the hall by herself and came to the courtyard.
The summer night is already full of stars.
The Milky Way is like a big road paved with cow cheese.
She sat on the steps of the second gate, exhaled, and tears flowed down her eyes.
Coco walked up to her, sat down, and gently patted her on the shoulder.
Xiaogui threw himself on Koukou's shoulder, and hot tears wet Koukou's clothes.
"Cry, I know." Tian Kokou said.
"Actually, I don't even understand ......"
I don't know if it's relief, joy, or sadness.
She didn't have much time to vent her emotions though.
"Little noble girl."
Xu Taishi came in from outside the door, his face was pale, and he was holding a small brocade box in his hand.
"Uncle Taishi, what's wrong?" Xiaogui asked.
"A kid brought this ...... for someone."
Xu Taishi gently opened the brocade box.
When Xiaogui looked closely, there were two large round and clear balls in the box.
Two large bezoars like jewels.
"That woman, it's nearby." Xu Taishi whispered.
"Who?" Tian Kokou looked confused.
"Forsythia." Xiaogui clenched his fists.
