Chapter 35: Blending In
"Folks, please allow me to say a word. Zhang Zhixian was very pleased to see everyone's enthusiasm, but as the head of a county, he still had to say two words.
"Listen to me, first of all, it is my honor for you to be able to participate in my marriage so enthusiastically, for so many years, I am worthy of Qiaoyin County, worthy of everyone, but today's situation, to be honest, I didn't expect it to be so lively. Therefore, please pay attention to your own safety and don't get hurt. Everyone has seen this situation today. There are many cases of poor hospitality, so please forgive me. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, congratulations to Zhang Zhixian. ”
"I wish Zhang Zhixian an early addition of men. ”
The people also shouted and sent heartfelt blessings to Zhang Zhixian one by one.
"Okay, well, everyone's intentions, I, Zhang, must keep it in mind. Zhang Zhixian was also very moved, he always felt that he had done his best to benefit everyone for so many years, and it was worth it.
"Haha, Master Zhang, don't come to harm!" This was a hearty voice from outside the crowd, causing everyone to look behind.
The person who spoke was the one who had begun to come on horseback, and because he was riding a horse, he was particularly conspicuous. Everyone knows that this person's identity should not be simple, and it looks like he is also here to participate in the happy event of Zhang Zhixian, so the people who are blocking their mouths have made way for him.
This person was also very polite and bowed his hand to everyone.
"Oops, it's Envoy Li here, come in. Zhang Zhixian was also a little excited when he saw this person, and he actually walked over in person. In the eyes of everyone, he personally helped this person off the horse. "Hehe, Lord Zhang. You're so polite. Although he said it, he still did not refuse Zhang Zhixian's kindness, and the entourage behind him also dismounted.
"You, you're in this small county on weekdays. If you are asked to go somewhere else to be a big official, you will not go. The people of Qiaoyin County are really blessed to meet such a parent official as you. ”
Envoy Lee praised it. I don't know what you say. That's right. Why did Special Envoy Li come to me today? Obviously, Zhang Zhixian was still a little surprised by the arrival of this person.
"Why, I can't come? You won't be notified of your family's happy events, and you can't let me come uninvited!" said Envoy Li.
"No, no, no, how can I mean that, children's happy events, you can come, it is really an honor for children. It's too late to welcome. ”
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, that's how you're so hospitable, and you still don't invite me in after standing for so long?"
"Aha, it's my negligence, please, let's talk about something. Drink two pots when the time comes. ”
"Okay, that's pretty much it," Envoy Li also smiled and followed Zhang Zhixian in, and the entourage behind him also followed him closely.
When everyone saw this scene, they also speculated about the identity of this envoy Li, I am afraid that what kind of big official it is, the magistrate of a county is actually respectful to him. But this is just gossip. The gate was blocked again. This worship hall is about to begin.
Long Gongzi and Guangshi were also a little helpless on the side, there were too many of them. The two "old men" had no intention of squeezing into it at all.
"What is the origin of this envoy Li? Long Gongzi was a little curious.
"How do I know, I'm not a jack of all trades. Now is not the time to do this, let's think about how to get into it first. "This is the key to the first question.
"You're right, but what can you do about it. Long Gongzi was also quite helpless.
"You're stupid, there's no way you don't know how to figure it out!!Otherwise, it's all in vain after so long of busy work, aren't you really here to see the excitement!" Guangshi looked at Long Gongzi's appearance, and was a little angry.
Long Gongzi was really angry when he saw Guangshi, and he didn't joke anymore: "What are you anxious about, look at me." ”
With that, Long Gongzi walked into the crowd. First of all, he squeezed in by looking like he was old and immortal, and many people saw that this was an old man, and they tried to give him a little space.
Relying on the old and selling the old skin, he really let Long Gongzi squeeze into the middle.
But the dragon bow is relatively short in height. When you squeeze into the middle, you feel like you're submerged, and you can't see anything when you look at it, let alone keep squeezing to the front. It's all a problem.
"That's not the way to go!" Long Gongzi thought for a moment. The heart is horizontal, or the old trick is repeated.
Long Gongzi gritted his teeth. It's a rush to the crowd in front of you.
"Oops," before the person in front could react, he felt pushed by the person behind him. Almost fell. And Long Gongzi also took advantage of this rush to the front of the crowd. It's just a tumbling, rolling out. This time, he rushed too far and rolled into the gate of the county governor's mansion.
"Oops, it hurts to death, old man, I'm so old, I want to come to Zhang Zhixian to be happy, but I didn't expect to squeeze me like this. The dragon bow was holding his legs, sitting on the ground and moaning. He looked very painful.
When everyone saw it, it turned out to be an old man, but now I'm afraid that the fall will not be light, and they are all so old. Everyone felt a little ashamed that they only cared about watching the excitement and did not notice the existence of the old man.
As soon as Long Gongzi really came out, it also made Zhang Zhixian and others, who were just about to enter the house, also look back. Zhang Zhixian saw an old man sitting on the ground, still a little painful, and hurriedly stepped forward, and directly half-crouched in front of Long Gongzi,
"Old man, are you okay, where did you fall?" Zhang Zhixian looked very concerned, and his face was a little anxious.
Long Gongzi was a little shocked when he saw Zhang Zhixian's expression, although this is a time that can reflect his value as an official and win over the people, but looking at it like this, this is not like pretending at all, which makes Long Gongzi An An amazed, and he sincerely admired this county magistrate.
However, one yard is one yard, and what should be installed still has to be installed.
"Oh, Zhang Zhixian, old man, I'm old, I want to come to say hello to you, I didn't expect it, but there are too many people, I also want to come in front to see the excitement, my old body can't squeeze the young man, I didn't expect to be squeezed out like this, although I fell but it was no big deal, but at least I squeezed in. Long Gongzi looked like an old tearful, which made everyone present a little moved.
Zhang Zhixian hurriedly called the family and helped the dragon bow up.
"The old man has this heart, I am really moved, since this is more or less due to my relationship to make the old man like this, it is better to do this, when the dinner begins, the old man will sit with us!"
Long Gongzi was overjoyed when he heard this, which was simply great, but he didn't forget that Guangshi was still outside.
"Lord Zhixian, I still have a reluctant request, my wife is still waiting outside, she also told me in every possible way before, let me be careful, and now he is still outside and doesn't know my condition, I guess I'm still worried. Can you invite her along?"
"No problem, of course it's no problem. "Zhang Zhixian is also a reasonable person.
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly retreated and looked outside, and sure enough, there was an old woman watching inside. This person is the light release, this dragon bow has been in for a while, and he can't see anything inside, and he doesn't know what happened?
"Wife. Well, I'm here!" Long Gongzi shouted at the light release.
Guangshi also saw Long Gongzi calling him at this time, but her wife was a little embarrassed to hear it. But come to think of it, Long Gongzi is successful, I don't know how he did it. At the moment, there is only the first to go in.
Guang Shi saw the family supporting the dragon bow, and hurriedly went up: "Old man, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Good news for you. The magistrate invited us to a dinner party!"
"What? I heard you right, that's really great! Thank God!" Guangshi didn't know what was going on, so he pretended to be happy first.
"Two old men, let's go in with me first, it's about to be a visit. Zhang Zhixian said with a smile to Long Gongzi and Guangshi.
"En!" Guang Shi held the dragon bow, and the two of them looked very warm, which made everyone on the side envious. At this age, it is really a blessing to have this love in my previous life.
After this short episode, the time is almost up, and it is about to be worshipped. Because Zhang Zhixian deliberately moved the venue to the courtyard in order to take care of the people in Qiao Yin.
Zhang Zhixian is sitting in the high hall with the bride's parents, and there is a table in the middle, Zhang Zhixian is sitting, and the bride's parents are on the right. Important guests and relatives sat on either side. There were also some visitors who stood behind him in twos and threes.
And Long Gongzi and Guangshi also stood on both sides. According to Guangshi's observation, it was found that only Zhang Zhixian was sitting on the left, and it was estimated that his wife had passed away. And sitting closest to the high hall was the envoy Li, and his entourage stood behind him. It stands to reason that the order of this seat should be the first to the guest. It can be seen that the status of this special envoy Li is very high.
Long Gongzi didn't have as much as Guang Shi thought, just look at this, look at that. His gaze swept the entire lobby. When he looked at the envoy Lee, he found that the guard behind him was staring at him expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking. Long Gongzi was stared at by him, and he actually felt a little empty in his heart. It felt like he had seen through it completely. Just this glance made Long Gongzi's back break out in a cold sweat. Hurriedly avoided his gaze.
At this time, it happened to be accompanied by a sound of suona and drums. The matchmaker came out with the groom and the bride.
"The bride and groom arrive !!"
