Chapter 108: Promoting Discussion and Introducing New Cloth (6)
As soon as the three-year mourning period ended, Cui Yi began to help Zhang Luoqi sister's marriage, although it was a make-up ceremony, but he took it very seriously, not only to set up a banquet for three days and three nights in Yefu, but also to invite a noble troupe, grand blowing, as for the delicacies of the mountains and seas, bead lanterns and candles are indispensable, in order to be extremely luxurious.
Ye Yongjia knew the intention of his move, and it was inconvenient to refuse, but the two of them couldn't scrape together so much money, so they had to borrow a little from Cai Xianqing to get this thing done.
The weather was bright on this day, and the mighty team spread straight from Yefu to Cui's Mansion, lined up for more than ten miles, and then invited Cui's with the phoenix crown and xia veil to get on the sedan chair, passing through the streets along the way, the drum music was endless, and the people saw such a posture, and they all gathered to watch and discuss. Cui Yi was also mixed with his friends, and Yang Yang said to him proudly: "Have you seen this meeting?" These were all arranged by Cui. ”
His friend was stunned, and said with a smile: "Brother Cui, I didn't expect you to climb such a brother-in-law, magnificent, magnificent......"
Cui Yi's face was very happy, but he just shook his head and laughed: "What's the big deal?" These things are just a bluff to outsiders. Let's go, let's take advantage of the fact that my sister hasn't arrived yet, you and I will eat and drink happily, otherwise wait a while, Lord Ye really won't have time to entertain us. ”
The friend hurriedly said yes, that is, he got on the horse again with him and went to Yefu.
"Congratulations Lord Ye, congratulations!"
As soon as Cui Yi stepped into the main hall, he saw several officials holding invitations and frequently saying congratulations in front of Ye Yongjia; The latter wore a wedding dress, stood up to thank each other, and invited into the banquet one by one, so he was not busy.
"Alas! And Tatsumi! Ye Yongjia saw Cui Yi standing far away, and immediately shouted loudly, "You've finally arrived!" ”
"Humble to meet Lord Ye." Cui Yi stepped forward, and the friend followed hesitantly.
"You brought a friend with you?" Ye Yongjia asked with a smile and called the servant: "Hurry up and show the guests a seat!" ”
The three of them were seated separately, Ye Yongjia gave them the tea, and then asked, "When you came, you could see your sister?" ”
Cui Yiyu said: "My sister is still on the way, although the streets are congested, but I don't think it will take half an hour to get here." ”
Ye Yongjia was about to nod, when he suddenly saw a little guy hurriedly rushing into the hall, and said deeply: "Master, a person outside the door who claims to be from his wife's own family wants to see you, and his tone is extremely unkind and scolding. I don't know the old man...... How to show it. ”
Cui Yiden and Ye Yongjia looked at each other twice, and then got up: "I am the Cui family, I'll talk to him." ”
"Alas, there is no need," Ye Yongjia pressed his hand, his expression revealing disdain, "Call him in, I would like to hear what the people in your family will say." ”
Cui Yi's face was embarrassed, coughed a few times, and reluctantly responded: "Okay." ”
"You are...... That Lord Ye? ”
The old man who was invited to the hall raised his head high, raised his eyelids slightly, and put his hands behind his back, without a trace of respect.
"That's right," Ye Yongjia looked at him like this, and he didn't bother to take care of etiquette, he lay down on the back of the chair and looked at the tea bowl in his hand, "I am only Lord Ye in the Manchao, so I don't have to bother you to find it again." ”
The old man sneered: "Is this the Qing official and capable minister in the mouth of outsiders - Ye Bingbu?" It turned out to be such a vulgar and impolite person! No wonder you don't practice virtue......"
"Uncle......
"Don't stop him," Ye Yongjia interrupted Cui Yi's words, and then turned to the old man, "You just say, where is this official not cultivating virtue?" ”
Cui Yi looked at the guests coming and going beside him, and couldn't help but sweat.
The old man said: "My lord marries a wife this time, and marries an unchaste daughter, for the sake of losing modesty; and secretly engaged at the time of the Cui family's funeral, which was immoral. As a disciple of a high family, the adult is a scholar of Confucianism, and he should abide by the avenue, but he does things that are not good, which really makes the people of the world ashamed. ”
"Presumptuous!"
As soon as the words fell, he heard a loud 'pop' sound, which frightened the old man, and saw that Ye Yongjia's face was bruised and slammed the tea bowl on the table.
"Let me tell you, his Cui Longhuai's daughter is now my Ye Yongjia's wife, and it has nothing to do with your Cui family; If you dare to make irresponsible remarks and pour dirty water on her, this official will ignore your family's feelings! ”
The old man's face was shocked, and he couldn't help but be a little timid, but he still argued indignantly: "Could it be that your Ye family's marriage is not allowed to interfere with her mother's family?" There is no such reason in the world! ”
"In Ye's place, there is such a reason!" Ye Yongjia tightly locked his brows, his eyes blazing.
"That's good, that's good...... the old man was so angry that his lips trembled, and he pointed a finger at him and said, "When the old man goes back, he will discuss in the clan, so that the woman will never be able to return to her hometown, and from then on cut off the relationship between relatives!" ”
"Please! Anyway, you are all villains with human faces and beast hearts, and you don't deserve to talk to me about the word 'family affection'! After that, Ye Yongjia got up and waved his sleeves and shouted: "Come on, beat this old guy out of the stick!" ”
Someone could not help but say, and several servants picked up sticks, beat the old man to dodge again and again, and ran out of the house in a puff of smoke.
Cui Yi took a breath in fear, and approached to persuade: "Brother-in-law...... It seems that it should not be done like this, and it is unpleasant for both parties. ”
Ye Yongjia was still angry, and only replied coldly: "You don't look at how shameless the people in your clan are!" On weekdays, I don't see any saints' teachings for doing evil, but I do everything possible to a woman, and I talk about the righteousness in a grand manner. Could it be that the saints taught them the ability to bully the weak and fear the hard? …… How much your sister has suffered in recent years, it doesn't matter if outsiders are inconsiderate, and you want her wounds to tear even more...... It's good, the farther away from them, the better. ”
Cui Yi saw that his brother-in-law was depressed, so he was silent; But his friend sat stiffly, embarrassed, and didn't know what to do.
"If nothing else, then we'll take our leave." The man had no intention of staying, so he put down the bowl and got up to make a gesture.
"Don't you sit down with your brother-in-law for a while?" Ye Yongjia just asked absentmindedly.
"No, no......" said the man, who smiled reluctantly, pulled Cui Yi and prepared to leave.
But Cui Yi saw his brother-in-law sitting there alone, and he was really relieved, so he stopped and gently persuaded: "Brother-in-law, on this happy day, the weather is fine, don't be blocked by an inconsequential outsider." My sister is a sentimental person, and it would be very sad to see you like this. I advise you not to think about unpleasant things for her sake, and marry this newlywed in style, so as not to leave regrets in vain. ”
Ye Yongjia smiled faintly: "You kid is quite good at persuading." I'm fine, you can go. ”
