Chapter 33: Potential
After a busy morning, it was finally time to worship heaven and earth.
A bow, respect the sky, a match made in heaven, a pair of heaven;
Two bows, salute the soil, tie the knot, and match a pair;
Three bows, respect for heaven and earth, good relationship between heaven and earth, and the earth is long.
Water has a source and trees have roots, and after worshipping heaven and earth, you worship your parents. Zhu Biao and Hu Qing'e were both people who lost their mothers in their early years, and they were above the high hall, and only Zhu Chaofeng and Mrs. Hu were sitting.
The second elder took the tea, tasted it lightly, and looked at the pair of children in the hall with comfort.
Next is when the husband and wife worship each other, Zhu Biao and Hu Qing'e hold the two ends of the red silk vein, and look at each other with affection across the red cloth.
Slowly downward, lightly bowed, this affectionate energy, directly moved Zhang Zhenniang and the little girl Tao Yao on the side with tears in their eyes, and Zhu Long and Zhu Hu brothers on the side were also full of emotion in their hearts.
After the worship ceremony, Hu Qing'e, supported by Zhang Zhenniang and Xiao Taoyao, returned to the back hall and went to Zhu Biao's courtyard.
Next is the other highlight of the day, the welcome singing and the guests are seated.
I saw Wen Huanzhang and Qiao Daoqing standing at the door of the hall, one holding a guest list, and singing one after another.
"Jeju Governor Zhang, send a 'match made in heaven' Mobao, and I respectfully invite you to the table."
"Yunzhou Cheng Zhizhou, send a pair of dragons and phoenixes to Xiangyu Pei, please sit at the table."
As soon as the words fell, he looked at an old man and a middle-aged scribe, and walked into the hall together, among which the middle-aged scribe didn't say much, but it was Cheng Wanli, the governor of Yunzhou, who arrived a few days ago.
Only this old man, although he is over fifty years old, is still energetic, his eyes are sharp, he is not angry and arrogant, and his body is full of sharp momentum.
Zhu Biao hurriedly stepped forward and invited Uncle Zhang and Cheng Wanli to sit down with the chairman, and the two of them instructed Zhu Biao, and when they sat down, they heard Uncle Zhang say in a deep voice, "Today you are getting married, and there are some things that the old man doesn't want to say more, only one sentence San Lang you remember, everything is too late." ”
When Zhu Biao heard this, he smiled and nodded, probably knowing what the meaning of the other party's words was.
"Jeju Zhu Tuan training envoy, send a sword, please sit down."
I saw a big man with a length of eight feet, stepping in, his face was like a heavy jujube, his eyes were like stars, and his beard was more than a foot long under his chin, like the appearance of Guan Gong, and he was called a beautiful bearded man on the rivers and lakes - Zhu Tong.
Zhu Biao stepped forward to greet Zhu Tong into the table, Zhu Tong congratulated again and again with a smile on his face, for Zhu Tong, the greatest kindness to him in this life is in addition to his parents, that is, the young man in front of him, only he is not the corrupt official, he has a lot of money, so he searched all over Shandong and Hebei, only to find a sword to give.
"Yanggu Wu County order, send Mr. Yingqiu's "Cold Forest Plains" a copy, respectfully invite to the table."
"Yanggu Wudu head, send a set of fox fur, please sit down."
Wu Song held the calligraphy and painting in one hand, and a snow-white fox fur in the other, walked into the hall with his head held high, handed the two congratulatory gifts to Zhu Biao, and said straightly: "The calligraphy and painting sent by my brother are not understood, but this snow fox Qiu is your second brother and I got it for you after spending more than half a month in Changbai Lynx last year." ”
When Zhu Biao heard this, his face was full of smiles, he touched his shoulders with Wu Song, and said with a smile: "The second brother is so attentive, and the younger brother is very happy in his heart." ”
Wen Huanzhang paused at the door of the hall, and then saw Shi Xiu walking quickly to Zhu Biao's side, and whispered: "The Lu County Order of Qinghe County is here, with a heavy gift of 50,000 yuan. ”
Zhu Biao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and nodded towards Wen Huanzhang at the door, Wen Huanzhang understood.
"Qinghe Lu County Order, gift money of 500 yuan, please sit at the table."
When Wen Huanzhang's words fell, he saw that Lu Zhiyuan had a big belly and slowly walked into the hall, and when he saw Uncle Zhang and Cheng Wanli sitting on the chairman in front of him, he stepped forward quickly and greeted the two with a flattering face. Zhu Biao didn't care about him when he saw this, only Uncle Zhang and Cheng Wanli were looking at him, and only said a few perfunctory words casually, and the two continued to chat.
"Cangzhou Chai official, send ten horses, please sit at the table."
"Outside the Daimyo's Mansion Lu Yuan, I will send ten pearls, and I respectfully invite you to sit at the table."
"Lord Wubao of Weisheng Prefecture, send a pair of night pearls, please sit down."
I saw three middle-aged people in brocade clothes walking into the hall, the middle of the man was born with dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, bright teeth and red lips, three teeth to cover his mouth and beard, thirty-four or five years old, is the descendant of the Later Zhou Shizong faction, Emperor Taizu gave Danshu iron coupons, righteous and wealthy, like to accept the Quartet heroes, known as the current Meng Weijun Cangzhou small whirlwind - Chai Jin.
On the left is a towering man, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes and eyes, eyebrows divided into eight characters, a body of nine feet like silver, majestic and majestic, it is the unparalleled jade unicorn of the Daimyo Mansion - Lu Junyi.
On the right is also an eight-foot-long man, with a tiger's head and a swallow's forehead, an ape's arm and a wolf's waist, and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle's falcon.
Zhu Biao saw the three of them entering, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said straightly: "The three brothers want to trouble me, but this time they want to live in my Dulonggang for a while longer, so that the younger brother can do his best to be a landlord." ”
When Chai Jin and Lu Junyi heard this, they both laughed and sat down.
Wu Li's face was bitter, he stretched out his hand to hold Zhu Biao, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xian, this time Wu Mou is not simply here to congratulate you, but to bring a family to you." ”
Zhu Biao's heart was shocked, and he asked: "But because of that Tian Hu?" ”
Wu Li nodded and said: "That Tian Hu didn't know where to learn that my sister-in-law is very beautiful, and wants to take my sister-in-law as his wife, but that guy is now a robber, and he has a grudge against a certain righteous daughter Qiong Ying to kill his father, how can Wu agree, so he took this opportunity to take the family's old and young and half of his life savings, and came to you." ”
When Zhu Biao heard this, he knew it in his heart, and said: "Tian Hu, the younger brother will invite him to drink a pot sooner or later, and avenge the murder of his father for Qiongying's girl, the elder brother came to this Dulonggang, just like arriving at home, and later the younger brother asked people to find a bigger yard, settle down the sister-in-law first, and let's talk about other things another day." ”
Wu Li listened to Zhu Biao's words, and her heart was settled, so she didn't say much, and sat down since she fell into place.
......
After a singing salute to welcome the guests, the hall was already full of guests, laughter, and delicious wine and food were sent into the hall one after another.
In front of the hall, Wen Huanzhang closed the gift list and said meaningfully to Qiao Daoqing on the side: "How, Qiao Daochang, what do you see?" ”
When Qiao Daoqing heard this, he was silent for a moment, and sighed: "The son is in a big situation. ”
"Only these people today, just on the surface, how much of a relationship network San Lang has woven over the years, I'm afraid that only he and the Qing'e girl who is in charge of the embroidery for him, the husband and wife know." Wen Huanzhang also sighed.
Qiao Daoqing nodded, and asked Wen Huanzhang: "Mr. Wen used to be the guest of honor of the dignitaries in Tokyo, but why did he come to Zhujiazhuang?" ”
Wen Huanzhang heard this, with some memories in his eyes, and said slowly: "Because Saburo told me ten words. ”
"What ten words?"
"Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly draw it."
