Chapter 20 The Opening of the House

On the first day of the second lunar month, as the head of the Qin family who was the home of the founding generals, Qin Guogong personally came to the door and visited the old princess. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the two discussed for a long time in the main hall, and called Li Xing again, but after a while, they all left with a smile on their faces.

On the same day, news came out, but it was Qin Yingying, a daughter of the Duke of Qin, who is now thirty-six years old, and has been married to another founding general, the Cao family, as her daughter-in-law since she was a child. didn't want Qin Yingying to pass the door, and her husband would get sick and die. Qin Guogong loved his daughter, so he discussed with the Cao family and left his daughter at home, and has never been married again.

Qin Guogong heard that Li Xing, the prince of Zhenbei, was already half better, and saw that his beloved daughter Yingying was often depressed, but at the moment he had the idea of marrying his daughter to Li Xing. Qin Guogong naturally knew that Li Xinggui was the prince, and he might not necessarily fall in love with his daughter, but he loved his daughter very much, so he still went to the Cao family first, and after discussing with the head of the Cao family, he came to ask the old princess what he meant.

The old princess knew that although Qin Yingying was widowed, she was virtuous and virtuous, and she was willing to be widowed for many years, and such a character naturally made the old princess very fond of it. At that moment, the two of them asked for Li Xing's consent, and then the matter was decided. The old princess hoped that Li Xing would get married as soon as possible, and felt that it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, so she took advantage of the good day of the opening of the king's mansion on the second day.

In this way, I like it again, but the palace is full of happiness, and it is even busier. Fortunately, Li Rui heard the good news that night, but he sent dozens of palace maids and eunuchs and imperial chefs to the palace overnight to help, which made everyone in the palace breathe a sigh of relief.

Early the next morning, some guests began to come to the door, and the two butlers led everyone to greet them at the gate. Most of the guests who came came prepared two congratulatory gifts, the main one was the opening of the king's mansion in the town, and the second was the gift of the king of the north of the town. Even Qin Yingying's original in-law, the Cao family, also gave a heavy gift, and the head of the Cao family even made it clear that he said that Qin Yingying was like a daughter, and now she is not only a daughter of the Qin family, but also a daughter of the Cao family.

Most of the envoys from various countries have returned to China, but only the Tibetan party has been delayed for some time because of Sanchi's injury. Later, after hearing the news of the opening of the town king's mansion, he decided to wait until after Daohe before returning to China. Kuntsen and Sanchi brought a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, as well as various special products such as Tibetan's unique furs as congratulatory gifts. The congratulatory gifts of this group alone filled half of the room.

The next one came was Xuan Qi's subordinates, the four elders of the beggar gang, and the four of them arrived, and they prepared a generous gift. When Xuan Qi saw the four of them, he was still a little ashamed, after all, he was still the leader of the beggar gang, but for so many years, he had not fulfilled his responsibility as the leader. On the contrary, the four elders have been helping them deal with the affairs of the gang.

When it was close to noon, a large number of people from the rivers and lakes came to congratulate him. In addition to the relatively close Qingxu Lao Dao, Hua Shiwu, the head of the Hua family, and the heads of large and small gangs near the capital, even Chen Longbin, who is nearly ninety years old in Cangzhou, also came to the capital with his two sons. Among these people, except for Qingxu, there was no one else invited by the palace, but they all heard the news and came to congratulate themselves.

In addition, all the major sects in the rivers and lakes, all those who heard about it, most of them who could come rushed to come, and those who could not come in person also sent congratulatory gifts. By noon, the number of martial arts people from all over the country had reached four or five hundred, and Li Sheng had to temporarily open dozens of more tables of banquets, which was enough to arrange for everyone.

Before noon, Li Rui came to the palace with the crown prince Li Zhe in person, and the old princess took everyone in the palace to welcome him out. At noon, as Li Rui and the old princess unveiled the red silk for the horizontal plaque of the "Town King's Mansion", the sound of firecrackers shook the sky, and among the two palaces, hundreds of banquets were held on time.

The sound of the staggered cups was endless, and it was not until the time of Shen that the guests and hosts were happy, and the guests began to leave one after another. Looking at the mess of cups and plates everywhere, everyone in the palace was also quite depressed in joy. Fortunately, before Li Rui left, he had already donated all the dozens of palace maids and eunuchs who had been sent to the palace to help, which made everyone in the palace breathe a sigh of relief.

It was night, Qingxu and Chen Longbin stayed in the palace and reminisced with Xia Chongxiao and others. Xuan Qi also left the four elders of the beggar gang behind, and carefully inquired about the affairs of the beggar gang and some recent trends in the rivers and lakes. In the past few years, the entire rivers and lakes have been calm, there have been no major conflicts, and naturally nothing special has happened to the beggar gang.

It's just that Miao Lu mentioned that many girls have been missing in the northwest region recently, and the cause of the incident is still under investigation. In addition, it is also in the northwest region, the Heavenly God Cult that has risen in the past two or three years, the core members are only 3,000, but the believers are all over the northwest, reaching millions of people. And this Heavenly Divine Cult is still expanding in the southeast and southeast directions, and now there are traces of the Heavenly Divine Cult even near the capital and in Shu. At present, this Heavenly Fang Divine Sect is mainly practicing medicine everywhere, and there is no action to endanger others, but it must not be guarded against.

Xuan Qi had seen the power of the Heavenly God Sect, and immediately asked if there was news about the entrance of the Heavenly God Church. Miao Lu said that no hall has been found so far, as if the core disciples of the Heavenly God Sect have been walking here all the time, and there is no fixed foothold. Xuan Qi could only let the four elders order him to go down and pay close attention to the Heavenly Divine Sect's every move.

As for the disappearance of the girl, Xuan Qi remembered Che Yunfei's evil deeds back then. It's just that Che Yunfei has already died, and the "Jade Xuanjing" should have disappeared with Che Yunfei's death, could it be that Che Yunfei has something to hide? At the moment, Xuanqi can only ask the beggar disciples to pay more attention to this matter and inform him at any time.

After the four elders said goodbye and left, Xuan Qi still couldn't figure out the matter of the "Jade Xuanjing", so he had to put it aside first and went back to his residence.

On the second day, news came out from the palace again that the wedding of Li Xing, the prince of Zhenbei, and Qin Yingying will be held on February 16. As the prince of the Celestial Empire, the wedding naturally cannot be hasty, and naturally the palace is busy again.

Just two days before Li Xing's wedding, Xuan Qi received a report from the beggar gang disciples, saying that another girl was missing near Qinzhou, and the beggar gang disciples had already begun to focus on searching within a hundred miles of Qinzhou. Xuan Qi saw that Li Xing's wedding was imminent, but it was not easy to leave at this time, so he immediately had to ask the beggar disciples to pay strict attention to it, and if there was any news, report it at any time.

Just after Li Xing's wedding, Xuan Qi was alone, and he quickly stepped out of the capital and went straight to Qinzhou.
