Chapter 353: Who of You Is Xiao Rui?
On this day, the emperor changed into civilian clothes, and brought the queen, Concubine Yang, Concubine Yin, several princes and princesses, and all the family members to the Song Mansion to attend the wedding. Although the emperor is also the party who marries his daughter, Xiao Rui's wedding is different from the other, several ceremonial officials of the Ministry of Rites were beaten by him, and the last wedding was changed beyond recognition by his so-called 'personally planned'.
Although there is some nonsense, the two brothers marry at the same time, and each of them marries more than one at the same time, and I have never heard of such a wedding in the past, so I let it go.
The identity of the emperor is not only the maiden family of the married daughter, but also the guests who attend the wedding, after all, there is Xue Li's wedding to attend.
"Zhidai, you've been in Chang'an for a few days, and I've been busy with official business, so I haven't been able to take the time to introduce you to talents of the same age in Chang'an. Today, I will gather your opportunity to lead you to recognize people. In the future, you will all be the pillars of Datang, and the sooner you get acquainted, he will be able to work together in the future. The emperor specially asked people to call Feng Zhidai, which shows his preferential treatment of the Feng family.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Feng Zhidai saluted respectfully.
"Today, I don't talk about the monarch and ministers, everyone is in civilian clothes, your father is commensurate with my brother, just call me uncle."
"Yes, junior Meng Lang, thank you uncle for mentioning it."
Li Er was in a good mood, "Today is the wedding of the champion Hou Xiaorui. Have you heard of Xiao Rui's name? Don't know each other yet, do you? ”
Forehead...... Feng Zhidai's face was a little embarrassed, and he nodded hurriedly, "The name of Champion Hou is like thunder. It's a pity that we haven't met yet. ”
"It's okay, whoever you want to meet today has a chance."
Xiao Rui is not an ordinary person, his wedding is already complicated, plus marrying a princess, marrying Wei Zheng's daughter, marrying Li Jing's granddaughter, and relatives and friends of the Xiao family...... On this day, it is almost time for the New Year Festival of the Tang Dynasty, and the entire Chang'an City is very lively, and the east and west markets of Chang'an City, including Zhuque Street and the northeast part of Chang'an City, are all congested.
As a last resort, all the martial marquis of the entire Chang'an City went out to be on duty to maintain order.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor marries a daughter, and the princess must have a guard of honor to send guests when she goes out. But marrying three daughters at the same time, picking up people from one family is not possible at all in one day.
Considering that the three wives were all married with their children, Xiao Rui simply changed it, and didn't marry from their respective parents' families, just in Xiao's Mansion, make a courtyard, and the five newlyweds were in it, and he and Xue Li brought their brothers to greet their relatives, and then engage in some interesting interactions and so on. Marrying from the West Courtyard to the East Courtyard is simple to handle and saves time.
Datang also has the custom of welcoming relatives and blocking the door, and it is more exciting than later generations.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, are you here? Hurry up, please come and ......" At the gate of the Song Guogong Mansion, Xiao Rui, who was in charge of welcoming his relatives, and his uncles were so busy that they only wore summer clothes, and there were too many people to be busy at all.
This wedding, almost all the powerful officials in Chang'an were present, just the preparation of the ingredients, chefs, etc. for the banquet was a big problem, but Xiao Rui had no choice but to borrow the imperial kitchen from the palace, and all the staff of his own restaurant were in place, and there were hundreds of tables. All the idle houses in the Song State Mansion and the Xue Mansion were full.
"Big brother, what are you looking at the three children smirking?" Xiao Yue asked Xiao Rui, who was dressed in red, puzzled. At the Tang Dynasty wedding, men wear red and women wear green, which is different from later generations.
Xiao Rui said with a smile: "These three little guys are probably a rare few people in the world who have personally attended their parents' weddings. ”
Burst...... What's so funny about that?
"Not only these children, but also the second brother's daughter." Xiao Yue added.
"Big brother, you made the wedding like this, and they all scolded you for deviant outside."
Xiao Rui said disdainfully: "Just scold, anyway, I am scolded behind my back every day." They are envious, who marries three ladies a day to see? Who will marry the children again? ”
Xiao Yue echoed: "That's it, if you want me to say, these people should be driven out." We didn't invite them to come, and since we came, we invited them to the wedding banquet, and they still made irresponsible remarks, which was too shameless. ”
"It doesn't matter what others say, what does Daddy say?" Xiao Rui still cares about Xiao Yu's opinion.
Xiao Yue couldn't help laughing, lowered his voice and said, "Our father scolded you for deviant behavior with them on the surface, saying that you can't control this unfilial son, and you praise you with your mother behind your back." I overheard. ”
"Childe, Your Majesty is here. He also brought a strange young man and asked to see you by name. "The next person will report it.
Strange young man? The brothers of the Xiao family are very puzzled, who can be brought by His Majesty in person is either the children of the nobles or the royal family, who do we not know?
"Xiao Yue, you first take your bereavement and nostalgia to go over and have a look. I arranged for a few children to go over. ”
The Emperor has been dragged to the drawing room. Feng Zhidai was taken to the young man's side, and stood there a little tangled, as if he was uneasy and a little withdrawn.
Xiao Yue walked over with a group of young people, Feng Zhidai was stunned, looked at them one by one, and said in his heart which one was Xiao Rui?
Because everyone was wearing dresses, they were dressed very gorgeously, all of them were children of nobles, and the age gap was not big, Feng Zhidai was a little dazzled.
"Which of you is the champion?" Feng Zhidai spoke first, this time he was not reckless, he had suffered Xue Li's loss, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in Chang'an.
Xiao Yue bowed and said: "In Xia Xiao Yue, my brother is preparing for marriage, and he can't get out of it for the time being." These are our brothers and friends. Dare to ask who Childe is? ”
"In Xia Feng Zhidai, from Lingnan."
"Feng Zhidai? It turned out to be the fifth son of the Lingnan Feng family in the world, and he admired it for a long time. Qin Huaidao walked out and arched his hand and said, "Feng Gongzi doesn't have to be restrained, everyone is about the same age, just be commensurate with brothers." Today is the wedding of Brother Xiao and Second Brother Xue, you came just in time, everyone is lively and lively together. Walk around...... Don't stand here, join us to greet our relatives, and wait for some trouble. ”
"Dare to ask?"
Qin Huaidao grabbed Feng Zhidai: "My name is Qin Huaidao." This is Xiao Yue, this is Fang Yiai, this is the three brothers of the Cheng family, Cheng Huaimo and Cheng ...... The two brothers ......"
was pulled into the greeting team in a daze, Feng Zhidai was a little confused, but he felt interesting, the imaginary second generation of Chang'an was not the kind of false open and secret fight, it was so harmonious.
"Big brother, the person received it, you would never guess that it was the second son of the Lingnan Feng family, ranking fifth in the world." Xiao Yue introduced.
Xiao Rui looked at Feng Zhidai appreciatively, "The fifth Feng Zhidai in the world, Feng Gongzi?" I have admired the name for a long time, and welcome. ”
Forehead......
This is the champion Hou himself?
Feng Zhidai had mixed tastes for a while, and finally saw the real person. was said to have admired the name for a long time, and at this time I really felt slapped in the face.
"Brother-in-law, it's him, I went to Xiaojiazhuang a few days ago to challenge you, and I was taught a lesson by Second Brother Xue." Prince Li Chengqian came over and said.
What?
Everyone looked at Feng Zhidai, and Feng Zhidai was embarrassed and really wanted to find a crack.
Just as he was about to apologize and say goodbye, Xiao Rui glared at Li Chengqian, "Go, go, you are your mother's family today, you can't participate in welcoming relatives, go into the courtyard." ”
"Feng Gongzi, don't be restrained, Xiao Rui also wants to find a chance to talk to you, another day, help me pass the current level today." There are many concerns and problems in welcoming relatives, and with your talent, I am much more down-to-earth. ”
Ahem...... I......
Everyone burst into laughter and gave Feng Zhidai a thumbs up, "You are so powerful, you are so brave, you have the courage to challenge Brother Xiao." Gentlemen! ”
Yes? What do you think? Feng Zhidai couldn't help but scratch his head and laughed, thinking about Xiao Rui's poems and calligraphy, he was not stupid and bold!
