Chapter 241: Inviting Distinguished Guests

Liu Dongxing left the small courtyard of the Gu family, and he couldn't take care of going home, so after a little thought on the way, he immediately went to the military department to take leave. Previously, because of Liu Gu's trouble, Liu Fu was included in the imperial history, many people have heard of it, and many people in the military department know Liu Dongxing's name, and when they saw him come to ask for leave, they all said: "The top already knows, so you can take advantage of the fact that the army has not yet been opened, you will sort out the trivial matters at home, and when it is straightened out, you will go back to the camp to sell the leave, and what will you do?" ”

Liu Dongxing said with a smile: "It's not for that, although there are many things at home, it is not as important as this one." I was going to get married. It was the first day of the new year. ”

When the people in the military department heard this, they were all surprised: "How can you do a happy event at this time?" When you get married on the first day of junior high school, you only have time to return to the door in three days, and you are about to leave? ”

Liu Dongxing's eyes rolled, and he already had a saying: "I thought the same way, it was supposed to be a few months before the happy event, and if I wanted to go on the expedition, I asked the Yue family to postpone the wedding, but the old lady of the Yue family said, since I want to go on the expedition to protect the family and defend the country, how can I go to the battlefield, and I have to worry about no one to take care of me at home?" Both horizontally and vertically are going to get married within the year, so I simply did it before the army started, so that I could feel at ease. I was really ashamed in my heart, I didn't dare to be born to the high righteousness of the Yue family, but I was taught a lesson, saying that I am a manly husband and act decisively, how can I be so unbridled? He also said that women cannot go out for the country, but can only take care of their families for the soldiers who go out to fight, and do a little bit, and if I refuse, I will look down on their families. I was really embarrassed to hear it, and only by cheering up and killing a few more enemy soldiers for the court could I live up to the kindness of the Yue family. It's just that this marriage, although it was a little hasty, had to be decent, so I came to ask for leave. ”

After he said this, the officers of the military department present had their own ideas, and some people secretly laughed in their hearts that the Yue family of Liu Dongxing was really stupid, and married his daughter before his son-in-law was going to fight, if he couldn't come back, wouldn't his daughter have to be widowed? Some people were also amazed, saying that the Yue family of Liu Dongxing was really high-spirited, if the family members of the soldiers who went out on the expedition thought like this, how could they secretly entrust people to transfer to avoid the order to go to the army? Compared with those people, this Liu Dongxing's Yue family is really admirable

So someone asked Liu Dongxing which family his father-in-law was. Liu Dongxing replied with a smile: "It is also my relative, my fiancée is the only daughter of my second aunt's Gu family, the only daughter of the sixth room, the parents died when she was a child, and there is only an old grandmother and a younger brother in the family. Those words just now were said by the old lady. ”

For a while, everyone's expressions were a little subtle. If you change to another family and get married in advance, it will naturally be admired for its high righteousness, but since it is the maiden niece of Mrs. Liu Shangshu Gu, she can't help but make people think about it, and even some people are secretly laughing at Liu Dongxing: People are obviously not able to seize the property, and now they marry their niece to you, they are eyeing your family business, but I am afraid that as soon as you leave on the front foot, the bride on the back foot will roll up the family property and go to the aunt, you are still happy here, you are really a fool.

The change in everyone's expressions couldn't hide Liu Dongxing, which was exactly the effect he wanted. He didn't say much, just laughed with them, and listened to the movement outside, and after a while, there were footsteps outside the door, and he smiled and asked a principal: "I heard that the imperial court has decided that General Shangguan will be the commander of the army going north, but is it true?" I wonder if the general will come to the ministry today? ”

This Shangguan Delan, the official worship of the second-grade Dragon and Tiger General, is also a general in the DPRK, and he is not conspicuous on weekdays, and he is very low-key. Coincidentally, his wife is the younger sister of General Xiao Ruan's wife in the Huguo Mansion, but because he is upright, he doesn't want people to think that he has a high position because of the light of the Ruan family. Therefore, strictly speaking, he is not a figure in the Huguo Mansion, but there is no discord.

After General Shangguan received the holy decree two days ago, he went to the camp in Jingnan, Liu Dongxing had long known the situation of the future commander, and knew that he would come to the military headquarters in the past two days, and now was the time when he usually came, so he deliberately asked the principal.

The principal said: "It is indeed General Shangguan, what are you asking for?" Although the general is your superior, you don't need to ask him if you take a few days off. ”

Liu Dongxing said with a smile: "Naturally, it's not for this little thing. Because I had been practicing in the camp in Jingnan before, I had heard the general's teachings with my own ears, and I really respected it in my heart. I'm going to do a happy event now, there is a lack of a person to preside over the big gift at home, originally my closest elder is the second aunt, it's just ......" he smiled, everyone understood, "My second aunt and the people in the sixth room of her mother's family, there are also some differences, I'm afraid that they won't come to help, I am worried that I don't know which lady to ask for help, and suddenly remembered that General Shangguan is the most amiable person, and he has never despised us little people, I don't know if I want to...... Let the General's wife help officiate at my wedding? ”

"Hahaha, if you want to ask me for help, how can you just ask my wife?" A burly middle-aged man walked in, everyone in the military department hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects, and Liu Dongxing also knelt down and saluted: "General Shangguan" showed a little reverence on his face.

Shangguan Delan smiled and asked everyone to get up, looked at Liu Dongxing a few more times, and remembered his name: "You are Liu Dongxing from the Jingnan camp?" I remember...... During the military drill that day, you knocked everyone down in one against ten, but in seven or eight rounds, you were very good."

Liu Dongxing lowered his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Let the general see it." The little skill of the lower official, compared to you, is not enough to see. ”

Shangguan Delan waved his hand: "Good skills are good skills, if you are too modest, it will look fake." You are still called a little skill, what is the person who was knocked down by you? There are two of my own soldiers there."

When Liu Dongxing heard this, he was no longer modest, but just bowed: "The lower official has practiced martial arts with the master for a few years, and he has the strength to do it, and he has to ask the general for more advice."

Shangguan Delan smiled and asked, "You just said that you want to ask my wife to officiate at the wedding for you?" Tell me, what's going on? ”

Liu Dongxing hurriedly said what Fang had just said to the people in the military department, and everyone in the military department also helped to add a few words, especially the matter of Mrs. Liu Shangshu. Shangguan Delan raised his eyebrows and said, "It turns out that Liu Shangshu is your uncle?" but no one has ever heard of it. You said that your second aunt and your fiancée's family don't deal with each other, what's going on? ”

Liu Dongxing said with a smile: "It's a joke for you, Mrs. Liu Shangshu went to Xiaguan's house to teach the next person a lesson, and escorted the housekeeper away, and it happened that Xiaguan's fiancée's family sent someone to say hello, and when she saw this, she rushed back to inform the old lady, and the old lady personally took someone to reason with Mrs. Liu, and almost fell out, so she rescued the housekeeper of Xiaguan." For this matter, Mrs. Liu heard that she went back to her parents' house to complain. She didn't like Xiaguan's fiancée, so how could she be willing to officiate at the wedding for Xiaguan? ”

Only then did everyone understand, and when they thought about it, among the rumors that Liu Shangshu was involved, there seemed to be gossip that his wife contradicted his mother's aunt, which was right. In this way, the wife room that Liu Dongxing wants to marry, although it is Mrs. Liu's own family, is not a person from the road.

Shangguan Delan asked for the details, and immediately said: "This old lady Gu is so courageous, and Miss Gu is also a righteous martyr, so how can I miss such a grand event?" When I got home, I asked my wife to come over and invite a few more colleagues to congratulate me," and then blinked, "If the food and wine are not good and I lose face, I won't follow it."

Liu Dongxing was full of promises, and everyone in the military department had eyes, and they also joined in the fun, and when Liu Dongxing got the permission of his boss, he successfully sued for marriage leave, and when he left the yamen of the military department, the guests in his hands have included three or four generals of more than three grades, seven or eight military attachés of six to three grades, and more than a dozen military officers and directors of the military department. Liu Dongxing lowered his head and hid a smile on the corner of his mouth.

There are so many big people present, and the people in the second room don't dare to come out of the demon moth

He turned over and got on the horse and ran to his home in Yangliver Hutong, although Luo Mingmin helped, but there were still many things to prepare for the wedding.

The news of this wedding spread in the capital in only two or three days. Some people say that the Gu family is confused, some people say that the Gu family is noble, and some people envy Liu Dong's luck and meet the good Yue family. There was a chorus of praise in the army, and when the news reached the imperial court, even the emperor spoke: "If the officials and people of the world have such righteous deeds, why worry that the soldiers cannot fight to kill the enemy on the front line?" ”

Liu Fu listened to it in his ears, and his heart was not a taste. He didn't get a notice from his nephew until yesterday, but the guest list for the wedding banquet was set, including many famous generals in the army, and he heard that even the Huguo Mansion and the Dongyang Marquis Mansion had sent rich congratulatory gifts, even if he wanted to object, it was too late. What's even more hateful is that Liu Dongxing only said that as a scholar, he had to take care of everything, and his wife was also busy with housework, so he did not invite their husband and wife to officiate at the wedding, but asked the wife of the new boss, Shangguan General, to help. As soon as this news came out, compared with the trouble caused by his wife before, it became more and more confirmed the rumor that their husband and wife had mistreated their nephew, so that no matter how much resentment he had in his heart, he had nowhere to vent, he was almost depressed to death, and now even the emperor had spoken. Could it be that the saint has forgotten the origin of Liu Dongxing? The queen is not afraid that her mother's family will lose face?

As soon as Liu Fu went home, Liu Gu immediately dropped half of the porcelain in the room, and he had to go back to his mother's house to find the person in the sixth room to ask for clarification. Seeing this, Liu Fu scolded her: "It's not lively enough? Do you think you have a good reputation? You heard me clearly, on the day of the wedding, you give me a share of the food and wine, if there is a little bit of etiquette, you don't have to go out in the future, the affairs of the family will be handed back to Aunt Bai" Liu Gu almost pouted, and when he came to his senses, he thought about it again and again, and had to come to a conclusion aggrievedly: Liu Dongxing can do what he loves, take a step back for the time being, and when he dies, it is not too late for him to ridicule the stinky girl who has no eyes and no manners.

So, this wedding began under the attention of countless people.

On March 29, Liu Dongxing sent a dowry gift to Gu's family. There are wild geese, tea, fruit cakes and sheep wine, half of which he has prepared a long time ago, and the rest are all Luo Mingmin helped to purchase it back, and it was loaded with sixteen lifts, full, and picked up to the Gu family's small courtyard, and there were countless children along the way to watch the excitement.

On the 30th, it was the Gu family who gave the dowry. Because the days are in a hurry, except for the large items provided by the Luo family's shop, Mrs. Lu prepared some fine and soft, although the silk and satin clothes sent by Mrs. Luo Si and the fine fur sent by Mrs. Li were added, there were still not many things, and only thirty-two lifts were made up when they were full. However, Mrs. Lu prepared a lot of silver tickets and gold jewelry for her granddaughter, so that she could press the box silver. Wen Yi knew it in her heart, and she didn't think that she had been wronged. When the dowry was carried to the Liu family, outsiders saw it and knew that the marriage was done in a hurry, and they didn't feel that the Gu family had lost face, but laughed and said that the Gu family was in such a hurry to buy such a rich dowry, which really hurt their daughter.

On the first day of the new year, it is the day of marriage.
