Chapter 1,139 Etiquette of the Family
The ancient road was long, with flags covering the sun, and a team of more than a thousand people marched towards the Cui family's ancestral home in Qingzhou, attracting passers-by to look at each other and take the initiative to avoid the side.
This is a strange team, with men and women, armored guards, gentle men and women, powerful children riding horses, and mysterious nobles riding carriages.
The front of the front was a blood-stained flag, and the large "Li" embroidered on it had been mostly stained with blood.
The blood stains have been too long and have turned dark red. However, this handsome flag walking in front of the team has invisibly added an inexplicable murderous aura to the team, making people have to respect and avoid giving in.
A group had already begun to inform the Cui family. When the team arrived outside the Cui family's ancestral home, there were already crowds of people nearby. All the direct and sideline relatives and children of the Cui family in Qingzhou were present, standing outside the door without moving, staring at the flags fluttering in the wind in the distance.
After a long time, Li Qinzai's team came outside Cui's house. The armored ceremonials immediately lined up the guard of etiquette, drew their swords and waved them into the sky several times, and then tapped the shield with the back of the knife. There was a burst of bang, adding a little solemn and murderous aura to it.
The relatives and children of the Cui family became more and more awe-inspiring. They bowed to Li Qinzai's carriage, and did not dare to breathe.
Although the old family clan has a deep foundation, it is still impossible to compare with those who hold power in the world. Not to mention anything else, the Cui family, the county ceremonial guard of Li Qinzai, cannot even chase after him.
Now the emperor is at a time when he is suspicious and suppressing the old family. How many courage does the aristocratic families dare to support their troops and rely on their weapons to hide their armor?
However, Li Qinzai could show his ceremonial guard openly. He was the Duke of Datang County and the court allowed him to show it.
After the troops set up a ceremonial war, they deeply shocked the Cui family. The Cui family's expressions became more and more awe-inspiring, and they dared not look arrogant at all.
After a long time, with the help of Cui Jie and Xiao Baga, Li Qinzai slowly got off the carriage and sat in the wheelchair. Cui Jie personally pushed the wheelchair to the Cui family.
An elder from the Cui family stepped forward and saluted meticulously.
The more profound the family is, the more thoughtful and comprehensive the etiquette is. Every action must be flawless and standardized, so that the nobility and cultural depth of this family can be demonstrated.
"Qingzhou Cui family, I have met Cui's son-in-law, Duke of Lixian County, the Tang Dynasty."
Li Qinzai is a junior, and the old man is obviously an elder. He is neither humble nor arrogant in his manners. He respects Li Qinzai's identity and official title.
Li Qinzai sat in a wheelchair and bowed with a smile, which was considered a response.
The rest of the Cui family also bowed.
A solemn and solemn atmosphere came to my face. The word "ritual" that is usually done is extremely strict in the big family and cannot be careless at all.
Li Qinzai's expression of giving back with a smile just now was actually very unstandard and frivolous.
But Li Qinzai has a different identity, and no one dares to argue with him.
Next, Li Sujie, Li Xian and other princesses and powerful children also stepped forward to greet the Cui family.
The arrival of the prince and princess of the Tian family made the Cui family inexplicably shocked, and the salutes and amplitudes of Li Sujie and others were different.
Li Qinzai only felt very magical, as if he was holding some mysterious and evil ritual. He felt that if his actions were not standard, he might be tied to the incense table to worship his ancestors in the next moment...
Pulling Cui Jie next to her, Li Qinzai whispered in her ear: "Your family's bad rules... Well, your family's etiquette is too serious. Let's talk to your elders. Can you omit it?"
"Everyone meets and have a meal. You praise me, I praise you. I will deal with it with you in a harmonious manner. It makes me nervous so formally... The scene is so grand, your father won't borrow money from me, right?"
Cui Jie was so angry that she pinched his arm hard: "My husband said something bad again! This is the Cui family's importance to you. Do you think that the cat and dog are so kind of courtesy when they come to my house?"
After finally finishing the etiquette process outside the door, Li Qinzai was carried into the Cui family by his troops.
Inside the gate, father-in-law Cui Linqian was wearing gorgeous clothes and wearing a beam of light, and stood in the middle of the yard with a serious face.
Cui Linqian is Li Qinzai's father-in-law. According to the rules, it is impossible to go out to greet Li Qinzai, so he waited in the yard inside the door.
Li Qinzai stepped forward as usual and saluted him in a wheelchair.
Cui Linqian also replied with a serious salute, and then a group of people in strange costumes appeared behind him, bowing to the surroundings in a strange posture, muttering something in his mouth, and getting up and starting to... dance?
Li Qinzai was stunned. Are the aristocratic families so excited?
Cui Jie whispered, saying that this was a traditional etiquette of the family. It was inherited from the Confucian Zhou rituals, which was probably a solemn etiquette to welcome distinguished guests.
Li Qinzai’s understanding is that just like welcoming guests to dance dragons and lions in his previous life, he attached great importance to the etiquette of guests.
I couldn't help but feel more and more worried... The scene was so grand that my father-in-law planned to borrow how much money from me.
After completing the process, more than half an hour had passed, and Li Qinzai was exhausted when he sat in a wheelchair.
This was his first time to come to his father-in-law's house. He didn't expect that the etiquette would be so complicated that he would not come next time.
When Cui Linqian goes to Chang'an next time, Li Qinzai also wants to give his father-in-law a surprise, learn about the "Sword Formation" and complete the process of the Li family to ensure that the two families will never interact with each other.
After the process was completed, Cui Linqian smiled at Li Qinzai.
"Thank you for your hard work for the country!" Cui Linqian stroked his beard and smiled.
Li Qinzai said gratefully: "My father-in-law is so kind, and her son-in-law is so worried... When will the meal start?"
Cui Linqian was stunned and quickly glanced at the Cui family members not far away, lowered his voice and said, "... Be honest, don't make jokes. There are several elders of the tribe who still value etiquette. If you lose your politeness, I can't protect you."
Seeing Li Qinzai sitting in a wheelchair and looking a little weak, Cui Linqian's eyes flashed with worry and called Cui Jie over and whispered.
"Will the son-in-law be useless in this way, right? My daughter is suffering." Cui Linqian sighed in pain.
Cui Jie was immediately angry: "Dad, what are you saying! Your husband is just recuperating from the wound, how can you be disabled? Don't say unlucky words in the future, otherwise your daughter and husband will turn around and leave."
Li Qinzai's face also became ugly. Can you not whisper so loudly? Do you respect me as a distinguished guest?
"Jie'er, come here." Li Qinzai waved with a smile.
Cui Jie immediately walked up to him.
Li Qinzai held her little hand and smiled: "Don't argue with her father-in-law, it will affect the future separation of the inheritance..."
Cui Linqian's face turned dark now.
How nice it is to be harmonious with the host and the host.
The Cui family sat high in the hall, and the banquet, singing and dancing were arranged clearly.
Li Sujie and other disciples sat at the lower head, while Cui Linqian and Li Qinzai sat at the lower head.
Li Qinzai couldn't drink alcohol, so she frequently treated each other with clear water. After drinking more than a dozen cups of water, Li Qinzai was urinating and Cui Linqian's face turned red.
When the atmosphere of the banquet in the hall was getting more and more joyful, Xue Ne quietly walked to Li Qinzai. She was quite tired from the journey these days, so Xue Ne planned to leave first and go to the wing room to rest.
Li Qinzai shook his head at him and whispered: "Don't leave first, bear it, we two brothers have a deal with my father-in-law..."
Xue Ne was stunned: "What business?"
"Popular transactions that are unreasonable."
