Da Zhou Tianyou for nine years.

The sixth day of the fourth month.

Early in the morning, it was still dark, but the Wei Mansion located in Lao Ya Lane was already brightly lit and full of people.

Wei Chen was wearing a Xuanxuan official uniform, a black dark coat, a red yellow bottom, a three-beam Jinxian crown on his head, stepping on soap-colored thick-soled official boots, and a rhino belt tied around his waist.

There are pearls and jade hanging on the ears on both sides of the Jinxian crown, also known as "filling the ears", and at this moment they are gently shaking as Wei Chen moves forward.

This body is the outfit of the official doctor of the Great Zhou Dynasty when he married.

When the sky was bright, Wei Chen was dressed neatly under the service of the maid and the maid envoy, and left his courtyard and came to the newly completed Wei family ancestral hall on the east side of the front hall.

Wei Chen stood still at the foot of the hall and respectfully saluted Wei Xicun in the hall.

Wei Xicun is the third brother of Wei Chen's grandfather, and he is the closest elder to Wei Chen's bloodline in Xiyin Village, and he returned to Bianjing from Youyang with Wei Chen a few days ago.

Seeing that Wei Chen had arrived, Wei Xicun took Wei Chen to the ancestral tablet and performed the gift of announcing the ancestors.

Wei Chen took a glass of wine from Wei Xicun's hand and offered sacrifices, and after worshipping the ancestral tablet, he slowly got up.

Wei Xicun instructed in a deep voice: "Go to Ying'er, inherit my sect's affairs, reluctantly respect, the heir of the ancestors, if there is a constant!" ”

Translated, the approximate meaning is: Go and greet your internal help, inherit the affairs of my family's temple, and try to guide her to respect the prudent woman's way, inherit the will of the ancestors, always so, do not slack off!

These words should have been said by Wei Chen's biological father Wei Mingzhao, but Wei Mingzhao had already died, so Wei Cunxi could only act on his behalf.

After Wei Cunxi finished speaking, Wei Chen immediately bowed down and said, "Oh, I'm afraid of Fukan, don't dare to forget my life!" ”

Wei Cunxi nodded solemnly, waved his hand, and said, "Go, go early and come back early, strengthen my portal!" ”

"Whoa!" After Wei Chen saluted again, he turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall.

In the courtyard outside the ancestral hall, the family and personnel to welcome relatives have already been prepared.

Although Wei Chen's stay in Bianjing is not long, there are really a lot of relatives and friends.

Not to mention anything else, in the same year of God's blessing alone, more than 20 came.

This is only for officials in Beijing.

More of them served in the local government in the same year, and they couldn't take a break, but they also sent congratulatory notes and congratulatory gifts early.

There are also colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, Wang Yaochen, Li Zuochang, Cai Xuan and others, who also came here on leave today.

As for Gu Tingye, Qi Heng and others, they have a closer relationship with Wei Chen, so naturally they will not be absent.

Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng didn't come, they were the woman's brothers, so they naturally had to wait at the Sheng family.

In addition to these people, Wei Chen's protégés Chen Shao, Liao Shiyu and others also arrived.

It's also funny, Chen Shao just became a groom a few days ago, and Wei Chen, who is a teacher, is behind his students in this regard.

By the way, more than half a month ago, that is, on the palace examination held on March 15, Chen Shao won the championship in one fell swoop and was appointed as the champion by Zhao Zhen.

Before the champion and the first, Chen Shao was already Xie Yuan and Hui Yuan, so it was the third yuan and the first!

To achieve such an achievement, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are only two people, and the other is Chen Shao's teacher, Wei Chen.

This master and apprentice have a six-yuan and a three-yuan and first, which can be described as a rare story, which has attracted the attention of the government and the opposition.

If it weren't for Chen Shao's grandfather who had set up a family affair for Chen Shao before his death, and he had already married after the palace examination, he was afraid that the wealthy families in Bianjing City would compete for him to be his son-in-law.

And Wei Chen's other student, Liao Shiyu, was only slightly inferior to Chen Shao, and was named a flower during the palace examination.

In other words, Wei Chen's protégés account for two of the three tripods of Jinke.

As for Gu Tingye, Sheng Changfeng, and Qi Heng, they all all got Jinshi backgrounds, and they were the nineteenth in the second class, the third in the second class, and the fifty-seventh in the second class.

Around April, it is the peak period for the new science and technology to marry the family, except for Chen Shao, the marriages of the rest of the people have also been settled one after another, but they are still under discussion and planning, and the best time is not far away.

After Wei Chen returned to Bianjing, he was invited to attend the wedding of Chen Shao and several other new scholars, but today it was finally Wei Chen's turn.

At this moment, in the Wei Mansion, seeing the groom official Wei Chen coming out of the ancestral hall, Gu Tingye in the courtyard hurriedly greeted him, smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Congratulations!" ”

Wei Chen smiled and said a few words to Gu Tingye, pulled him and asked, "Zhong Huai, can you settle down?" ”

Gu Tingye shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It hasn't been finalized yet, but depending on the old man's meaning, most of them are going to stuff me into the military department to watch the government." ”

"The family of Jiangmen ......"

Wei Chen patted Gu Tingye's shoulder comfortingly and said, "The old marquis also hopes that you can inherit the Gu family's foundation in the army. ”

Gu Tingye also sighed helplessly.

He really didn't want to be a pure civil official, but he was also resistant to his father's all-encompassing arrangement.

Fortunately, after Gu Tingye won the Jinshi, he was already the pillar of the Gu family, and his reputation in Bianjing City changed greatly.

The so-called stubborn, mixed eating and waiting for death, amorous, and squirming can no longer be attached to Gu Tingye.

Instead, it was a Jinshi with a bright future, a prodigal son who turned back and did not change his money, and was a role model among the sons and daughters of the lords in Bianjing.

Gu Yankai was so strict with Gu Tingye before, it was nothing more than hatred for his son.

Now that iron has finally become steel, although Gu Yankai's mentality is difficult to completely adjust for a while, it will not be like before.

The relationship between father and son tends to ease, and they can finally sit down and communicate calmly.

In fact, in the past half month after Gu Tingye was hit by the Jinshi, Gu Tingye and Gu Yankai had more heartfelt words than in the previous ten or twenty years combined.

Letting Gu Tingye enter the military department to observe politics is already the result of mutual compromise between Gu Tingye and Gu Yankai after several discussions.

As the marquis's concubine, Gu Tingye's career is innately smoother than ordinary people, but he can't control his future.

Don't look at Gu Tingye now from the son of the lord to a civil official, but if Gu Tingyu dies of illness in the future, Gu Tingwei can't hold up the lintel, and the Gu family has no successors, maybe Gu Tingye will have to rejoin the pen.

After all, civil officials are generally only a prominent generation, and it is too difficult to accumulate the heritage of the Qingliu family, and to maintain the inheritance of the Marquis of Jiangmen, as long as he does not die himself, he can easily maintain the wealth of the family for generations.

Gu Tingye took the road of the imperial examination, even if he succeeded, it would be the icing on the cake for the Gu family at most, and the title of Marquis of Ning Yuan and his foundation in the army were the foundation of the Gu family.

Although Gu Tingye has been fighting with Gu Yan for so many years, his views on this point are actually quite consistent.

"Don't talk about that."

Gu Tingye suddenly smiled freely: "Today is Xingyun's day of great joy, what are you talking about." ”

After speaking, Gu Tingye arched his hand towards Wei Chen and went to greet other friends he knew.

Wei Chen is the groom, even if he welcomes guests, he only needs to meet a few important guests, and as for idle guests, Gu Tingye and Qi Heng, who are the guests, are in charge.

At noon, the guests gradually arrived, and they had a meal in the courtyard. Seeing that the sun shadow was slanting westward, and the time to greet him was approaching, Qi Heng came over to urge: "Little sir, the hour is almost up." ”

Wei Chen nodded, the so-called wedding should be held at dusk, and today the head has set in the west, and it is time to welcome the relatives.
