166 The Big Wedding (4)
After entering Zuofu, all the ceremonies went according to order.
Although He Xuan is no longer busy, she does not dare to relax her spirit. After all, all this is done by yourself, if everything is fine, then it is needless to say, but if there is any mistake, you are duty-bound!
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. After sending Wen Xi smoothly into the cave room, He Xuan's hanging heart finally let go, not only because of the smooth ceremony, but also because of Zuo Liang's cooperation......
He Xuan can finally take a break.
She almost staggered to the outside. Away from the crowd, I found a quieter place to sit down under the porch.
At this time, up and down the Zuo Mansion, there were tables inside and outside the house, and the high-ranking friends and nobles naturally sat in the main hall house, and those who could find a place in the courtyard were either rich or expensive.
He Xuan thought about the beaming faces she had just seen, but for some reason she felt a chill in her heart.
Is it really worth rejoicing?
Maybe.
At least, Wen Xi had been in contact with Zuo Liang before she got married, and knew what kind of person he was, at least Zuo Liang was still what she liked. Wenxi is happier than ordinary girls, at least she won't know what her future husband looks like until the moment she lifts her hijab......
However, Wenxi ......
Thinking of this name, He Xuan felt a heartache.
The combination of her and Zuo Liang, after all, the starting point has been set a little biased, and if it weren't for what Zuo Liang said this morning, maybe she would have felt more at ease about Wenxi's future...... But now, I have to worry about her again. Zuo Liang, Zuo Liang, you have to be worthy of this woman who values you more than life.
He Xuan was thinking wildly when she suddenly felt someone tap her on the shoulder. She turned her head sharply and saw Liao Geng looking at her with a smile.
"How did you get out?" Liao Geng turned around and sat opposite He Xuan and asked with a smile.
"Finally, everything within my jurisdiction has been done, and I haven't come out to hide yet!" He Xuan replied with a smile, "What about you?" Why did you run out? ”
"I don't like to be too busy. It's okay to be lively for a while once in a while, but if there are always too many people, I'll get dizzy! Liao Geng replied, "You just slipped out, and I saw you." has been quietly following you. What do you think? A person who practices martial arts didn't even notice that there was someone following him! ”
"The guards of this Prime Minister's Mansion are not much worse than the palace, is it possible that I am still afraid that someone will assassinate me? Besides, there are footsteps everywhere in this courtyard, where can I hear it! ”
"Yes."
He Xuan had no way to tell Liao Geng what he thought, so he had to talk casually.
"Where's your brother?"
"Oh, I'm toasting around with Brother Zuo! I only found out today how good this big brother Zuo is, and he must drink every respect! It's amazing. ”
"Every salutation must be drunk? That's a lot of drinking! He Xuan said with a frown.
She thought in her heart that when she returned to the cave room for a while, there were still a lot of things to do, although these were no longer in her own hands, but if she missed the etiquette, it would inevitably make Wenxi sad.
"yes. I've drunk dozens of glasses now, to say the least. I think my brother has also stopped it, but Brother Zuo doesn't even need my brother to block it, and he has been doing it himself! ”
"I'll take a look." Hearing this, He Xuan stood up and said to Liao Geng.
"I'll go with you."
He Xuan nodded, and Liao Geng accompanied her back to the front again.
Sure enough, as Liao Geng said, from the time He Xuan saw Zuo Liang, to the time she walked to Zuo Liang, Zuo Liang worked so hard that he could have five or six cups of drink, not to mention it!
Just after the wine at this table was toasted, He Xuan snatched the cup from Zuo Liang's hand, accused everyone, and pulled Zuo Liang to the side. Liao Yong accompanied him with a smile and followed with Liao Geng.
Zuo Junzhong and his wife were also talking with some older visitors at this time, and when they saw He Xuan pulling Zuo Liang away, Mrs. Zuo wanted to follow her, but she was stopped by Zuo Junzhong.
"Pull me for what?" Coming to a secluded place, Zuo Liang shook off He Xuan's hand and asked.
"Master Hou. You've drunk too much! Seeing that there were other people around, He Xuan had to restrain his temper and said politely, "Back to the cave room in a while, the Hou Ye and the county lord still have some etiquette to hold, and the Hou Ye must not be too drunk." Let's listen to the advice of the next official, drink less. ”
"You don't have to worry about my business." Zuo Liang looked at He Xuan, sighed, twisted his face to the side, and said in a cold tone. smashed He Xuan's face on the spot.
"Ziqing, what are you doing, worry-free is also a good intention." Liao Yong saw Zuo Liang like this, and hurriedly relieved He Xuan.
"Good intentions? Got it! ”
"Let me ask, is Master Hou's words for He Xuan, who is only from the third grade, or is it for those who are listening to it?" He Xuan asked.
"Is there a difference? Since you are a marquis, you are a subordinate official. Isn't that already clear? Zuo Liang said coldly.
"Good. Let me put it another way. Brother Ziqing, and drink one less glass, it will hurt you in overdose. What's more, if the elder brother drinks too much, he is afraid that he will only lose the number of courtesies and hurt his sister-in-law's heart. He Xuan lowered her figure again and said.
Zuo Liang heard this, looked at He Xuan, and then at Liao Yong and Liao Geng, who was standing next to him without saying a word. Liao Yong understood, and took his brother and walked away a few steps.
"Do you still care if I hurt my body? You can only care about her sadness, have you ever thought about me...... That's it, let's not talk about that...... I know your kindness, and I really appreciate it...... I heard what you said......"
With that, Zuo Liang turned around and walked towards the crowd again, but this time, he walked straight to his parents.
"Are you alright? Brother Zuo didn't say anything angry, right? Liao Geng asked.
He Xuan shook his head and said, "No." Even if there were, it wasn't the first day I've known him. Then, she looked at Liao Yong with a smile and said, "Now I can understand your feelings about playing tricks on him when you were a child." Such a person should be cleaned up. ”
Liao Yong saw that He Xuan was busy changing the topic, and didn't ask any more questions. At this time, the sky had already darkened, Zuo Liang toasted three more glasses of wine to everyone, and then made a posture of being overwhelmed by alcohol, and walked towards the cave room behind him with the help of his subordinates.
Liao Yong watched Zuo Liang leave, and said to He Xuan, "You can rest too." Let's go to the table in the house and join in the fun. ”
Saying that, He Xuan couldn't help refusing, and the two brothers put He Xuan into the house one left and one right.
At this time, the Zuo couple also returned to the house one step earlier, and were sitting at the table at this time, chatting with Liao Yong's parents and Yun Zhen, Liao Yong asked his subordinates to move a chair over, and forced He Xuan to squeeze into the table.
Seeing He Xuan sitting firmly, Zuo Junzhong picked up the wine glass and said to He Xuan, "Lord He." These days, thanks to the careful arrangement of adults, the child's wedding today is a little smoother, and the old man is here to toast you. ”
Seeing Zuo Junzhong toast himself, He Xuan hurriedly stood up and replied, "Don't dare, don't dare." This is the duty of the lower officials. Moreover, this is the first time to do such a thing, if it weren't for the help of Lord Shangshu and them, where would the lower officials be able to do it successfully. ”
"Don't be modest. Uncle Zuo is talking to you about parents today, regardless of official rank, don't go down to the official one by one, let people sound so philistine, okay? ”
As soon as He Xuan's words fell, he heard Liao Yong joking on the side.
"Yong'er, don't be rude." Hearing that his son was so uninhibited in front of the Xiangye and the prince, Master Liao hurriedly shouted.
"It doesn't matter. I just like this kid's free heart. He Xuan, what Zunfan said is right, let's not talk about those false courtesies in the officialdom today. Nice, you say? Rajah? ”
As he spoke, Zuo Junzhong looked at Yun Zhen, who was sitting in the right seat.
Hearing this, Yun Zhen also smiled and said, "What Xiangye said, I am a guest, and you are the master." Naturally, I'm a guest. Moreover, I often sit and gossip with Mortal and Carefree, and I am used to that uninhibited way. If I had to make rules in front of them, I wouldn't! ”
When he said this, everyone laughed.
He Xuan responded to Zuo Junzhong's glass of wine, drank it all, and then sat down again.
Yun Zhen looked at He Xuan, who was sandwiched between the Liao brothers left and right, and then looked at the Liao brothers sitting next to her, and suddenly smiled. Zuo Junzhong was puzzled and asked, "Lord Wang, why are you laughing?" ”
Zuo Junzhong's question was in Yunzhen's arms, and he smiled and said: "Today, Ziqing got married, and although Xiao Wang was younger than Ziqing, he also accepted a side concubine the year before last, and he also set up a concubine this year. It's Brother Jin Fan and Brother Yu Yaxian, but he has already reached the age of marriage, I don't know what Uncle Liao's plans are? ”
As soon as he heard King Xian's question, four hands stretched out in the middle of the banquet, waved them together, and said in unison: "No hurry, no hurry." ”
Such uniformity makes other people quite strange. If Liao Yong and Liao Geng waved their hands, it would be easy to understand, young people, they don't want to be bound by marriage early, they want to wander for a few more years, and they won't waste their teenagers; If Master Liao said that he was not in a hurry, it is understandable, after all, his family has a big business, and these two sons will inherit their own family business in the future, so it is good for the housewife of this family to choose carefully; However, even Zuo Junzhong said that he was not in a hurry, which made people feel very strange.
"What do you mean?" Yun Zhen asked a little strangely.
Not only Yun Zhen, but even other people had the same doubts, and they all stared at Zuo Junzhong with curious eyes.
Zuo Junzhong looked at Master Liao, although he was a little embarrassed, he only smiled slightly, and replied: "The prince doesn't know, this folk marriage is different from the heavenly family. Moreover, the Liao family has a large business, so they naturally need a capable housewife to take care of the family's housekeeping, so that their brothers can work hard outside without hindrance. Therefore, this matter is really urgent. ”
This slightly far-fetched explanation, although reasonable, did not satisfy Yun Zhen and He Xuan.
