Chapter 366: Preparing for the New Wedding
"Lu Zhenguo, happy New Year! Take your little wife shopping early in the morning......! It's really enviable. ”
"I heard that you are going to get married on the fifth day of the new year, or by the will of the king, we will have this cup of wedding wine to drink!"
"Lu Zhen's name is spread all over the world, and he is about to get married, and there must be many scholars from all over the world who come to congratulate him, this marriage is not simple!"
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Ming accompanied Lin Xiaoyan to go shopping, and met some familiar readers on the way, so they greeted each other.
In the streets and alleys, the scholars greet each other for the New Year, which is very lively.
After a big turn, Lu Ming and Lin Xiaoyan returned to the door, but saw a group of people walking not far away, holding a plaque and beating gongs and drums, which was very festive.
Li Yu happened to be outside the door, and when he saw Lu Ming, he came over and said, "Master, you're back!"
"What happened?", Lu Ming asked.
"It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came down and said that he had inscribed a plaque for you, and he specially sent it to you to hang it. ”
"The prince is here?"
Lu Ming showed a look of surprise, looked carefully into the crowd, and sure enough, he saw Zhuang Yusheng's figure, and immediately walked over to greet him.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
Lu Ming made a gesture, Lin Xiaoyan made a blessing salute, and the other entourages also saluted.
Zhuang Yusheng said with a smile: "There is no need for so much courtesy between you and me, besides, this is not the Jinluan Palace, and we are also a scholar when we leave the palace, we should communicate as scholars, otherwise we will lose our sense of intimacy." ”
"You're right. Lu Ming nodded slightly.
"I came here to send you a plaque this time, as a congratulatory gift for your newlywed wedding in advance, you can see if you like it. ”
Zhuang Yusheng waved his hand as he spoke, and the people behind him immediately uncovered the red cloth on the plaque, and suddenly four majestic and powerful characters of "Lu Wenhou Mansion" appeared.
"This is carefully selected by me, carved for you with high-quality rosewood, and carved by craftsmen in my own handwritten font, I hope Brother Lu Xian can like it. ”
"Thank you Brother Zhuang for your kindness, and I am grateful. ”
Lu Ming thanked him, and even his address to Zhuang Yusheng became more cordial, but in the ears of outsiders, there was no sense of disobedience.
With the help of a group of workers, the old plaque of the Wenhou Mansion was removed, and a brand new plaque was hung later.
"Crackling!"
Firecrackers were lit outside the house to celebrate, and onlookers said goodbye and all kinds of New Year's wishes.
After finishing his work, Lu Ming sent some red envelopes to the workers as a thank you and blessing.
Zhuang Yusheng smiled and said, "Brother Xian, now your Wenhou Mansion looks really magnificent!"
"Thank you, Brother Zhuang, since you're here, why don't you go and sit in the house, how about we have a few drinks?"
"I think it's still free, if you want to drink it, we have to drink the happy wine, and we are not in a hurry. ”
Zhuang Yusheng said: "I will go to the prince's mansion in a while, so I won't delay much, you are about to get married, hurry up and handle it, invite all the friends who should be invited, this is a big day in life, but you can't be sloppy." ”
"Xiaosheng knows. Lu Ming nodded.
"Okay, let's talk about it first, I'll take my leave. ”
Zhuang Yusheng bowed his hand slightly, and then left along the street with a retinue.
Li Yu said to Lu Ming: "The prince is right, you are about to get married, or by the will of the king, most of the civil and military officials will come, you should prepare early." ”
"yes, you should have prepared early. ”
Lu Ming thought for a while, then entered the mansion and came to his study.
"Li Yu, go and help me get some invitations. ”
"Yes. ”
After a while, Li Yu brought a stack of red invitations, while Lin Xiaoyan was helping Lu Ming polish ink on the side.
Lu Ming pounced on the invitation, dipped the pen in ink, and danced on it.
"Good word!"
Li Yu couldn't help but blurt out, he used to be a scholar, and he also had a bit of eyesight, so he could naturally see Lu Ming's calligraphy artistic conception, which was full of a heroic momentum.
Lu Ming wrote more than a dozen invitations in a row, handed them all to Li Yu, and said to him: "These are my wedding invitations, you send someone to send them out." ”
"Okay!"
Li Yu took the invitation and quickly walked out.
Lin Xiaoyan asked, "You invited those acquaintances?"
"Guess what. ”
"Hmm...... Yang Xiuyuan is your mentor, and one of them must be sent to the Yamen of Yanzhou City, right?"
"That's right. Lu Ming nodded slightly.
"Zhuge Yuan is your mentor studying at the Suzhou Academy of Literature, and he once saved my life, and the second letter must be sent to the Suzhou Academy of Literature. ”
"That's right. ”
"Zhou Dongyue is the new governor of Suzhou, and you once served as a supervisor in his yamen, handled some government affairs, and the two of you have a lot of relationship, both teachers and friends, you will definitely not forget him. ”
Lin Xiaoyan said a few more people together, not only very accurate, but also very well analyzed.
"Haha...... Lin Xiaoyan, who knows me, too!"
Lu Ming was very happy, with such a confidant, what more could a husband ask for?
Lin Xiaoyan said again: "You have already been famous all over the world, and you have been to the Holy City many times to participate in some important literary conferences, and I think there are also some confidants and scholars from other countries, what should they do?
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Of course we have to invite them, but other countries are far away, and when the invitation is sent to them, I'm afraid we will have already completed the wedding." ”
"What then?"
"Don't I have an official seal? I can enter the literary list through the official seal, and send the biography across the country with the help of the power of the temple, it doesn't matter whether they are free or not, the important thing is to tell them about our happy events. ”
"Then without further ado, you can do it quickly!"
"Good. ”
Lu Ming immediately used the official seal to send an invitation, and the first one was sent to Fu Yun of the feudal state, they met in the Seven Kingdoms Cultural Society, and they took it as a close friend, and once went to Meizhou Island together, and reunited with the Xuemei Lou Cultural Association.
The second letter was sent to Hanlin Chen Long of the Jin Kingdom, who was once invited to Meizhou Island, and the two formed a deep friendship.
The third letter was sent to Kong Ce, the great scholar of the Holy City, and Lu Ming went to the Holy City many times, all thanks to his help and care.
Kong Ce once led the scholars of the Seven Kingdoms to besiege the Siren of Meizhou Island for Lu Ming, and divided the sea area of Meizhou Island to the Marquis of Haijiao, who was a close friend who valued love and righteousness and loved friends.
Thinking of Hai Jiaohou, Lu Ming couldn't help but think of his experience in the demon world, not only nine deaths, but even twists and turns.
Originally, it was a hostile relationship with Haijiaohou, but they lived and died together in the demon world, and the two naturally released their previous suspicions and regarded each other as important friends.
Some people only become close friends after special things.
