When the wedding team arrived, it was still some time before dusk. Of course, they couldn't just pick up the bride and leave immediately. They still had to complete some etiquette, such as making up and applying for makeup.
The bride's family presided over the ceremony in the hall, Yu Wendao, and the court also specially sent officials to supervise and guide the ceremony. However, Beizhen's wedding customs are different from those in Han Dynasty. There was laughter inside and outside, although it was not too unrestrained, and the ceremony was correct.
I don’t really care about the officials’ words and restrictions.
There is one figure in the crowd who is the busiest, that is Zhao Gui, who is dressed in a bright brocade robe. He goes in and out of the auditorium, giving orders to the people inside and outside with a serious expression, constantly explaining and supervising all kinds of chores. Look at that busy look, I can't believe it.
Those who know the situation might think that he is the master of a certain party.
"The ceremony in the hall will take a short time. The groomsmen and groomsmen have been working hard and have to go to the other halls to take a rest."
Maybe he really couldn't find anything he needed to explain. Zhao Gui looked at the groomsmen again and greeted him with a warm and enthusiastic expression. He even gave Li Tai a smile. There is a kind of person who is in high spirits during happy events.
, a generous attitude with no taboos.
Several other groomsmen were still hesitating whether this was appropriate, but Li Tai became very angry when he saw Zhao Gui's pretentious gesture.
Of course, this old boy is not idle and has nothing to do. He is clearly trying his best to hint to the crowd and show off that the next one to come here to welcome the bride will be his family.
But no matter how unhappy Li Tai was, he was just incompetent and furious. He did have such qualifications. He was too lazy to look at Zhao Gui's face when he was a villain, and it was no better than when he was a villain. He simply went straight to the other hall and sat down.
In the auditorium, Yu Wentai and his eldest son-in-law, Prince Yuan Qin, sat on the banquet. Seeing their eldest son Yu Wenyu coming down to receive his new son-in-law Yu Yi, who came to pay his respects, he couldn't help but sigh: "In the past, we only acted as young men and brave men.
Now that I see that the small things in the courtyard are already used as indoor reception, I realize that when I was abandoned in my youth, I will no longer be the same as before!"
When everyone in the banquet heard this, they hurriedly expressed that Daxingtai was still young, and the people were willing to follow Daxingtai and continue to fight for the king's cause and unification for a hundred years.
Yu Wentai held the cup and drank carefully, looking at the respectful and well-behaved new son-in-law who was also very satisfied. When his eyes fell on his eldest son Yu Wenyu who was standing at the table, he turned his eyes to Dugu Xin who was present at the table.
The smile on his face grew wider.
He pointed at his son at the side of the table and said with a smile to Dugu Xin: "Brother Ruyuan, if I remember correctly, your mother-in-law Miaoyin should be quite old. She lived in this household in the past year. Why were you sighing back then?"
It's an honor for Wu Xiaozi to match him.
Taking advantage of this good opportunity, I would like to ask, brother, what do you think of the quality of this thing? If this thing can win your favor, after the ceremony is completed, there is no need for me to go in a hurry. The two families will discuss matters in a dignified manner. Can you help me discipline him and become a good person?
"
Many of the guests present here were old friends from Wuchuan. When they heard that Daxingtai took the initiative to invite Duguxin to marry him, they all laughed, clapped and cheered.
But Dugu Xin seemed a bit caught off guard by this proposal. He frowned slightly. He hadn't thought about how to respond for a while, but the prince Yuan Qin who was present at the table had already opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Duxing is not overjoyed yet, Da Xing
Taiwan wants to have double happiness! Unfortunately, this plan may not come true.
The Duke of Hanoi is a man of extraordinary charisma and a leader in the country. Naturally, there are more than one person who would like to be married to him. When he returned to the court last year, His Majesty summoned him without permission and asked him to inquire about this matter. The Duke of Hanoi said that he abandoned his adopted son when he was young and refused to leave him early. Your Majesty was also moved by this.
Clumsy breath is not enough to be called good, and we cannot bear to harm this moral relationship.
In the blink of an eye, Duke Ba was grieving for his death, and Duke Hanoi was even more grateful for his old righteousness, and gave up his daughter to serve him. If I remember correctly, it is still in the ceremony? It is too early to talk about this now!"
As the prince spoke up, and what he said was quite meaningful, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little awkward.
Of course, the most embarrassing thing was Dugu Xin. He hurriedly stood up from the table, saluted the father-in-law and his son-in-law, who were sitting together in the hall but had very different thoughts, and said: "How lucky is it that my little girl has been blessed by the venerable man in the world so often?"
Question! I am really ashamed to boast, but I am more cautious in raising my children. I hope that she will diligently practice women's skills, be dignified and virtuous, and live up to her good friends and advisors. Your Highness the Crown Prince's words are true. This woman is still in the ceremony, and it is inconvenient to talk too much. I forgive you...
…”
Yu Wentai didn't take it seriously at all. He picked up the wine glass and handed it to his son in the middle of the banquet. He took it down to the hall and presented it to Dugu Xin. Then he smiled and said, "I made a mistake, and this is how I express my feelings. If you wish, brother, please don't mind. With brother."
The past is profound and the aftermath is even longer, so there is no need to rush for the moment. Your Highness the Crown Prince’s words are pertinent and he is greedy for pleasure and forgets himself. This thing indeed still needs some education. After more education, it can be presented to others. "
As Yu Wentai spoke up, the topic stopped there. Zhao Gui stood up and toasted with enthusiasm, breaking the awkward atmosphere, and laughter and laughter returned to the hall again.
Especially Dugu Xin, who suddenly became the center of attention before, is now even more restless and confused.
Daxingtai is thoughtful and thoughtful, and everything he says and does must have deep meaning. Of course, he will not get carried away because of temporary happiness. Moreover, there are many powerful eyes and ears in the ban, and Dugu Xin knew that he must have concealed the secret speech he had with the emperor last year.
But Daxingtai.
The reason why he suddenly mentioned marriage on such an occasion was obviously to threaten Dugu's confidence.
Last year, there was a turmoil in the court, which severely affected the patriotic family such as the Changsun family, and the Bafu's control over the court became even stronger. Faced with such a good situation, Daxingtai certainly wanted to further expand the results of the war, and led the court to
The hall extends to the place.
Longyou has always been a weak area under the influence of the Bafu. Duguxin is not a subordinate official of the Bafu who needs to obey Daxingtai's orders. His attitude naturally determines the trend of Longyou to a certain extent.
If similar disputes were still lurking under the surface of the matter before, Dugu Xin could still guard Longyou calmly despite each other's tolerance and concessions, but now the topic has been brought out a bit, and he needs to express his
Show some clearer attitudes, otherwise we may not be able to stay on the right side of Longyou.
There was no shortage of delicacies at today's banquet, but Dugu Xin, who was full of thoughts, felt that the food was just like chewing a piece of cake. He felt that the auditorium with constant laughter and laughter was very noisy, so he simply stood up and left the auditorium on the grounds that the smell of alcohol was spreading.
Standing on the porch, he slowly exhaled a breath.
His eyes wandered around the vestibule, and he immediately summoned a waiter and asked, "Why are the groomsmen who were here just now missing?"
"Duke Zhongshan took pity on the young guests for their hard work, so he took us to the other hall to rest."
The waiter panicked after hearing this, and hurriedly stepped forward to answer, but there was a murmur in his heart. They were already a little overwhelmed by Zhao Guiyi's blind instructions just now. Could it be that Dugu Xin was also going to make a mistake?
Dugu Xin didn't ask any more questions. He nodded briefly and went to the other hall. When he just arrived at the other hall, he saw Li Taizheng walking out of the hall with his head lowered and following Hou Mo and Chen Chong. He felt a little strange in his heart.
, then stepped forward.
Li Taiben was sitting in the hall drinking wine. He looked up and saw Hou Mo and Chen Chong waving to him. He felt a little strange in his heart, but he still stood up and went forward to greet him.
Hou Mo and Chen Chong led Li Tai to a corner of the other hall, looked at Li Tai and said with a smile: "Li Lang, your power has improved a lot this year. Daxingtai praised you for your ability to deal with thieves and that you are a man who can run wildly."
A heroic young man from the realm of desolate thieves!”
"I really don't dare to be the Duke of Pengcheng and make false praises. If it weren't for the public to show his power, Boshan would not dare to venture into the dangerous land of Huhuang."
After Li Tai heard this, he bowed and said.
"It's not an absurd compliment. If the predecessors could wipe out the thieves, how could they have done anything to make a name for themselves? I know that you are on duty today, so I won't disturb you for too long. I will make a long story short. If you can do it, you should do it.
Let me say something."
Hou Mo and Chen Chong were not good at sociability, and when asked to do things, he spoke simply: "There is a thief in the Diao Yin Realm, Hu Qu Shuai Liu Kang, who is cunning, evil, and annoying. His subordinates are just within Li Lang's front line to defend the city. I am here today
I have a job and I have no time to go north. Li Lang, can you kill it for me?"
When Li Tai heard this, he frowned slightly and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked: "I would like to ask Duke Pengcheng why Liu Kang, the Hu chieftain, hated Duke Pengcheng and had to destroy his clan and die..."
"
"You don't need to ask more about the reason. You were ordered to guard the border, and you were originally responsible for hunting down barbarians. Pointing out a place will also increase your achievements. If I feel that the troops under my command are unable to attack and suppress the enemy in depth, I can send a special general to lead troops to help.
you!"
Hou Mo and Chen Chong waved their hands to interrupt Li Tai's question and said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
Li Tai frowned even deeper after hearing this. Even if I am here under orders, I am not following your orders and accepting your position. You just asked me to go out and suppress a large Hu tribe without saying anything. This is a bit big.
?
Not to mention that the Diaoyin Liu family had just donated such a huge sum of money to Luochuan Temple. Even without this relationship, Li Tai still had his own plans for what he should and shouldn't do, and he finally got them together.
There is no need for a soldier to be a spearman for others.
"The defense of the northern border is new. We need to be cautious in attack and defense. Please forgive me for not obeying what Duke Pengcheng said."
Feeling unhappy, Li Tai didn't bother to talk anymore and said to Hou Mo and Chen Chong with his fists clasped.
When Hou Mo and Chen Chong heard this, he looked displeased. He raised his hand and patted Li Tai on the shoulder, but Li Tai waved his arm away and his face became even more gloomy: "Last year, we didn't even have a defensive city. How dare we attack the thieves?"
Now that you have powerful people, you are timid. You just accepted the bribe from that thief..."
When he was talking about this, he heard the footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Dugu Xin coming towards him. Then he glared at Li Tai again and said coldly: "I will look for you again when this day comes!"
After saying this, he turned around and left. When he passed by Dugu Xin, he bowed slightly and nodded.
Dugu Xin ignored it and went straight to Li Tai. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "I gave you this sword in order to make you swallow your anger in front of a strong man? I didn't know how to use it, so I returned it!"
When Li Tai heard Dugu Xin's unkind tone, he felt a little baffled. Look at his new robes, where is there any place to hang a knife? Even if he brought the knife, he would have to kill Hou Mo and Chen Chong in Tai Mansion?
