0460 The Second Emperor's Concubine
As the other party to the wedding, Li Tai's family is a little deserted compared to his father-in-law's family, although there is an endless stream of greeting guests, but the number is still quite inferior to Duguxin's family.
This is not because Li Tai's connections are not as good as his father-in-law, after all, he has not been in vain in the past few years when he came to Kansai, and they have no shortage of protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials of the Li family in Longxi, and he has been popular recently.
Today's scene is not lively, or there are other reasons. Glancing at the guards distributed inside and outside the mansion, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh secretly, he really couldn't understand which crazy Daxingtai was smoking, and he was going to come to his house to drink wine today.
Whether it is in terms of seniority or friendship, even if Yuwentai wants to come to congratulate him in person today, it is more reasonable to go to Duguxin's house, so when the two families were preparing for the wedding before, they were also preset according to this scenario, but I didn't expect Yuwentai to come out, but he went straight to Li Tai's house.
This caught the two families off guard, Dugu Xin's family did not prepare too many hospitality places, after all, if the Daxingtai came, they could not let too many idle people wait for entry, but Li Tai's family was ready to feast guests, but Wei Chi Yuan took the guards to clear the scene.
So his family either diverted some of the guests to his father-in-law's house, or sent some of the guests to Longshou Yuanzhuang first, and he was busy for a while, which can be regarded as stabilizing the situation.
Li Tai was busy and took advantage of the fact that Gao Zhongmi and his cousins were entertaining Daxingtai and his party in the hall, and ordered Li Licheng and Li Qujian to appease and apologize to some of the guests who had been persuaded to leave due to the arrival of Daxingtai, and to transport more wine and delicacies to Longshouyuan to ensure that the guests enjoyed themselves.
Daxingtai wants to carry out a surprise attack, and he really can't help it, after all, this mansion is still an old house, and it is a bit unauthentic to reward himself for marrying a daughter-in-law here, and if he doesn't even let people drink the wine, it is a bit unauthentic.
However, Li Tai seriously suspected that the reason why Yuwentai came to his house instead of Dugu Xin's house was actually very simple, that is, he was worried that Dugu Xin might get him if he drank too much, after all, he had just taken Longyou from others, and no one could guarantee whether he would be very angry when he saw each other.
When he had finished explaining the matter, he hurried into the hall again, listened to the laughter of the crowd in harmony, and moved to his seat and sat down.
"Sure enough, it is a happy event and a good spirit, this disciple is already outstanding, and the joy of becoming a family on this day is really more glorious! With this person in the palace, who dares to laugh at no one under my door! β
Yu Wentai was still wearing a commando hat that had become one of his symbols, and when he saw Li Tai return to sit down, he raised his hand and pointed at him and smiled at everyone, his appreciation was beyond words, and he looked at the eldest son Yu Wenyu who was standing on the side and said: "Falling in love with such a character is a lot of pressure on you." I brought you here today so that you may see the difference between you. In the coming year, people may be on the thin side, but they are not allowed to complain about Boshan, but to see the sages! β
After hearing this, Yu Wenyu hurriedly nodded yes, and then looked at Li Tai and said: "There are few disciples in the country, and Xihe Gong is alone in the world, even if Aya doesn't advise, Yu'er is like thunder at this time, looking at this look, seeing each other is even more famous!" β
was praised by the father and son, Li Tai hurriedly avoided the table and said: "The lord and the minister are sages, and the ministers are trembling and dare not make mistakes. Gongzi praised the minister as a lone show, and the minister was even more apprehensive and fearful of having no party...... In fact, the nature of the minister is not abnormal, fortunately when he meets the benefactor and gives it to him, the shallow atmosphere is only due to people, if it is only by this body, what is it? Today, I am really grateful to be able to go up to the hall to watch the ministers get married! β
As he spoke, he bowed and thanked him, but Yuwentai hurriedly waved his hand after seeing this: "Today is your marriage gift, and from now on you will be a newcomer in the world, only worship the kindness of heaven and earth." β
When Li Tai heard this, he changed his length, and Yu Wentai immediately said: "I know that you are busy with ceremonies today, and with all the Chinese scholars in this hall to accompany you, there is no need for you to stay in the hall to serve." β
There are cousins such as Gao Zhongmi, Cui Qian, and Lu Rou in the hall, as well as distant cousins Li Gang and Li Xuan, plus Lu Wei, Cui You, Zheng Daoyong and Li Licheng's cousin Zheng Hao, etc., although the number is not too much, they are already representatives of the Shandong Shi clan in Guanxi. In addition, the Yuan and Wei clans such as Guangling Wang Yuanxin are not lonely to accompany Daxing here.
So Li Tai confessed, withdrew first, and strode into the inner hall to find Li Licheng.
I don't feel troubled until things happen to me, no matter how well prepared I am in advance, there are always variables that happen.
Take today as an example, the arrival of Yuwentai and King Guangling is not just waiting to drink the wedding wine, they each bring Li Tai a gift-giving minister, Yuwenyu and the fourth son of the emperor Yuankuo.
Although Li Tai had arranged the prime minister early in the morning, these two parties were enthusiastic to help, and he really couldn't refuse, so he could only add in.
Not to mention anything else, at least this grade can be regarded as being raised, and the two future emperors will help them welcome their relatives, although these two together can't handle Brother Sabao, after all, the identity is here. It's just that the thought of Yu Wenyu going to accompany him to greet his relatives always feels a little weird in his heart, but fortunately, except for himself, no one feels wrong.
Because the two ministers have been replaced, the corresponding etiquette arrangements will naturally have to be adjusted. It must be known that in this era of weddings, the maids who help the man's family welcome their relatives have to suffer a lot of difficulties, which are much more interesting than the bridesmaids in later generations.
Whether it is the fourth prince Yuan Kuo or Yu Wenyu, the eldest son of the big line, they are obviously not suitable targets for drama, so Li Tai notified his father-in-law's family and asked them to adjust the arrangement of the obstruction car, and not to arrange too many blind people to disrupt the marriage, and at the same time also told several ministers to take care of the two special characters.
Yu Wenyu is still down, he is already thirteen or fourteen years old, and he is well versed in personnel, but Yuan Kuo is only in his early tens, and he has not even been knighted, so he seems a little nervous and afraid.
Li Tai also had a headache when he saw this, and he couldn't understand why the emperor had to send this son over, even if he wanted to express his closeness and appreciation, it was more convenient and direct to wrap a big red envelope than to send a son over.
But they all came, so they could only wait. Li Taiqin chose a docile mount for His Royal Highness the prince in the stable, and also sewed some inner buttons in the robes of the princess to fix them on the saddle, so as not to let the Royal Highness fall off the horse in fright, so that some Feng lost his brother-in-law early.
Li Licheng ran back and forth, greeting both inside and outside, and his face was so busy that his face was steaming, which could be regarded as repaying Li Tai for his kindness in organizing the wedding before. Neitang's wife, the Yang family, their aunt and grandmother, Feng Yi, and Princess Li Zhihua handled everything, as well as several princesses or county lords of the Yuan family.
One of them is Gao Zhongmi's blind date, a few days ago, Gao Zhongmi was depressed because of the tragic situation of his family, and King Guangling proposed to arrange a blind date for him to dilute the pain, and introduced one of his widowed cousins to Gao Zhongmi. They also looked at each other and planned to form a new family this year.
After some busy preparations, it was almost evening, and the team to welcome the relatives was finally ready. The six prime ministers are Yuan Kuo, Yu Wenyu, several Feng, Zheng Quan, Lu Shen and their own general Li Xiaoyong.
Among them, Zheng Quan is the son of Zheng Wei of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, Zheng Wei's father Zheng Xianhu was originally a general of the Luoyang Praetorian Guard, and he once resisted the Erzhu clan together with Batsheng, and was defeated and defected to the Southern Liang, and was killed by the Erzhu clan after returning.
Zheng Wei returned from Southern Liang after the demise of the Erzhu clan, and later responded to Duguxin's eastward expedition to Luoyang, so he entered the court, and now leads thousands of township soldiers stationed in Guanxi, but he is not as good as Li Tai, who is like a fish in water, and knows each other and is familiar with each other through Duguxin's introduction.
Lu Shen was the son of Lu Bian, who was well versed in the rules and regulations, was the representative of the Kwantung clan in the court, and was also one of the main advisers of Daxingtai to carry out various system reforms.
As the welcoming team was ready, the group went out on the street with Li Taihao and went straight to Duguxin's house.
Because today is the Shangsi Festival, most of the people in the city travel for the festival, and there are not many spectators on the street, even if there are some sporadic ones, the guards who see the front and back are afraid to avoid it, and dare not come forward, just stand on the street corner in the distance and look curiously, and discuss whose marriage is such a big battle?
