As the other party to the wedding, Li Tai's home seemed a bit deserted compared to his father-in-law's home. Although there was an endless stream of congratulators, the number was still inferior to that of Dugu Xin's home.
This is not because Li Tai's connections are not as good as those of his father-in-law. After all, he has not been in Kansai for a few years, and their Longxi Li family also has many disciples and former officials. Moreover, he has been very popular recently, and Huazhou alone
If all the villagers from Shang Yuan and Luoshui along the Luoshui River, as well as the disciples from Beijing who admired him so much, gathered in the residence, the lively scene would easily surpass that of his father-in-law's house.
The scene was not lively today, but there were other reasons. Taking a look at the soldiers and guards scattered inside and outside the mansion, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He really couldn't figure out what kind of madness Daxingtai had to go to his home today.
Come for a wedding drink.
No matter in terms of seniority, position, or friendship, even if Yu Wentai wanted to be present in person to congratulate him today, it would be more reasonable to go to Dugu Xin’s house. Therefore, when the two families were preparing for the wedding before, they also planned it according to this scenario.
Suppose, but I didn’t expect that Yu Wentai came out and went straight to Li Tai’s house.
This caught both families off guard. Dugu Xin's family did not prepare many places for entertaining guests. After all, when Daxingtai comes, they cannot allow too many people to wait for entry, but Li Tai's family has prepared a banquet for guests.
As a result, Yu Chijiong and his imperial guards came to clear the place.
So his family either diverted some of the guests to his father-in-law's house, or sent some of the guest gifts to Longshou Yuanzhuang first. After a while, he was very busy, and then the situation was stabilized.
Li Tai took some time off from his busy schedule, and while Gao Zhongmi and his cousins were entertaining Daxingtai and his party, he left the hall and ordered Li Licheng and Li Quji to appease and apologize to some of the guests who had been persuaded to leave due to Daxingtai's arrival.
Transport more fine wines and delicacies to Longshou Plain to ensure guests have a great time.
If Daxingtai wanted to launch a surprise attack, he really had no choice. After all, this mansion was still someone else's old house. As a reward for marrying a wife here, it would be a bit unethical not to let anyone drink the wedding wine.
However, Li Tai seriously suspected that the reason why Yu Wentai came to his own house instead of Dugu Xin's house was actually very simple. He was worried that Dugu Xin might do something to him if he got too drunk. After all, he had just taken Longyou away from him. Who could
There is no guarantee that enemies will be extremely jealous when they meet each other.
After he finished explaining the matter, he hurriedly entered the hall again. Listening to the seemingly harmonious laughter of everyone, he took small steps to his seat and sat down.
"Sure enough, people feel refreshed when happy events happen. This disciple is already in outstanding spirits, and now that he is getting married, he is even more dazzling! With such a person in the palace, who dares to laugh at the fact that I have no one under my sect!"
Yu Wentai was still wearing the riding hat that had become one of his trademarks. When he saw Li Tai returning to sit down, he raised his hand and pointed at him and said to everyone with a smile. His admiration was beyond words, and he looked at the side of the attendant.
The eldest son Yu Wenyu said: "Being close to such a person is a lot of pressure on you. I brought you here to see you today so that you can clearly see the differences between us. In the coming year, people may be biased.
Bo, but you are not allowed to vent your anger and blame Boshan, but you must think of others who are worthy of you!"
After Yu Wenyu heard this, he quickly nodded in agreement, and then looked at Li Tai and said: "Young people in the country are rare among the disciples, and Xihe Gong is the only one in the world. Even if Aye doesn't give any advice, Yu'er is like thunder at this time. Looking at this
The beauty is even more famous when we meet you!"
After being praised by the father and son, Li Tai hurriedly avoided the table and stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, my ministers are wise men, and my envoys are cautious and do not dare to make mistakes. The young master praised me as a unique one, but I was even more uneasy, fearing that I would not have any party members."
...In fact, my nature is not abnormal. Fortunately, I met my benefactor and used him in the right time. My appearance is only due to people. If I only rely on this person, how can I be like this? Today, I can get the master to come to the hall and watch my family get married.
, I can’t thank you enough!”
As he spoke, he bowed profusely to express his gratitude. When Yuwentai saw this, he waved his hands and said: "Today is your wedding ceremony. From now on, you will be a new man in the world, and you can only thank heaven and earth for your kindness."
When Li Tai heard this, he changed his posture to a bow, and Yu Wentai immediately said: "I know you are busy with rituals today, and you are accompanied by all the Chinese scholars in this hall, so there is no need for you to stay in the hall to serve."
There are Gao Zhongmi, Cui Qian, Lu Rou and other cousins in the hall, as well as distant cousins Li Gang, Li Yi, etc., plus Lu Bian, Cui You, Zheng Daoyong and Li Licheng's cousin Zheng Hao, etc. Although the number is not large,
It's too many, but they are already representatives of various Shandong noble clans in Guanxi. In addition, Wang Yuanxin of Guangling and other Yuan and Wei clans, it is not deserted to accompany Daxingtai here.
So Li Tai apologized and left first, then strode into the inner hall to look for Li Licheng.
You only feel troubled when something happens to you. No matter how thorough your preparations are, variables will always happen.
Take today as an example. When Yu Wentai and Prince Guangling arrived, they were not just waiting for a wedding banquet. They each brought a groomsman to Li Tai, namely Yu Wenyu and the fourth son of the emperor, Yuan Kuo.
Although Li Tai had arranged his groomsmen early in the morning, he couldn't refuse the enthusiastic help from these two parties, so he had no choice but to join in.
Apart from anything else, at least this level has been raised. The two future emperors are helping him to marry. Although these two together can't handle Brother Sabao, after all, the identity is here. I just think of Yu Wenyu accompanying me.
Welcoming a bride always feels a little weird in my heart, but fortunately, no one feels wrong except myself.
Because two groomsmen have been replaced, the corresponding etiquette arrangements will naturally have to be adjusted. It should be noted that at weddings in this era, the groomsmen who helped the groom's family to welcome the bride had to suffer a lot of troubles, which were even worse than the troubles made by the bridesmaids in later generations.
Much more interesting.
Neither the fourth prince Yuan Kuo nor Yu Wenyu, the eldest son of Daxingtai concubine, were obviously suitable targets for teasing, so Li Tai notified his father-in-law and asked them to adjust the layout of the barrier car and not to arrange too much.
The shameless person disrupted the wedding, while also telling the groomsmen to take good care of the two special people.
Yu Wenyu was still in trouble. He was already thirteen or fourteen years old and was well versed in human affairs. However, Yuan Kuo was only in his early ten years and had not even been knighted yet, so he seemed a little nervous and shy.
He is taciturn and not close to the masses.
Li Tai also had a headache when he saw this. He couldn't understand why the emperor had to send this son here. Even if he wanted to express his closeness and appreciation, it was more convenient and direct to give a big red envelope than to send a son.
But now that he's here, he can only serve. Li Taiqin chose a docile mount for the prince in the stables, and also sewed some inner buttons and hooks into the best man's robe to fix it.
On the saddle, don't let His Highness be frightened and fall off the horse, which will cause the phoenix to lose his brother-in-law early.
Li Licheng ran back and forth, greeting people inside and outside, and his face was so busy that his face was steaming. He was trying to repay Li Tai for his kindness in organizing the wedding. In the inner hall, his wife Yang and their aunt Li Zhihua, Princess Feng Yi, took care of everything, and there were a few Yuan.
The princess or princess of the family.
One of them was Gao Zhongmi's blind date. Recently, Gao Zhongmi was depressed after hearing about the tragedy in his family. King Guangling proposed to arrange a blind date for him to relieve the pain, and introduced a widowed cousin of his to Gao Zhongmi.
I have made the right decision and am planning to start a new family this year.
After a lot of busy preparations, near evening, the team to welcome the bride was finally ready. The six groomsmen were Yuan Kuo, Yu Wenyu, Shuofeng, Zheng Quan, Lu Shen and their own general Li Xiaoyong.
Among them, Zheng Quan was the son of Zheng Wei of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Zheng Wei's father, Zheng Xianhu, was originally a general of the Imperial Guard in Luoyang. He and He Basheng once resisted the Erzhu family together. They were defeated and defected to Nanliang. After returning, they were killed by the Erzhu family.
Zheng Wei, on the other hand, returned from Nanliang after the demise of the Erzhu family. Later, he joined Dugu Xin in his eastern expedition to Luoyang and joined the dynasty. He now commands thousands of local soldiers stationed in Kansai, but he is not as good as Li Tai.
They got along like a fish in water, and after being introduced by Dugu Xin, they got to know each other and became acquainted with each other.
Lu Shenze was the son of Lu Bian. Lu Bian was well versed in rules and regulations. He was the representative of the Guandong family in the court and one of the main advisers in various institutional reforms in Daxingtai.
As the wedding team was ready, the group of people surrounded Li Taihao and went out into the street, heading straight for Dugu Xin's house.
Because today is the Shangsi Festival, most people in the city are traveling to celebrate the festival, and there are not many onlookers on the streets. Even if there are a few sporadic ones, they are afraid to avoid them when they see the guards and soldiers in front and behind them, and do not dare to go up.
In front of me, I just stood on the street corner in the distance, looking curiously, and talking about whose marriage was such a big deal?
