The British Duke's mansion opened its central door early in the morning, and guests began to come to congratulate him.
It was not until today that Li Qinzai clearly felt the weight of the British Duke.
Guests bringing gifts and congratulations lined up from the gate to Zhuque Street. Most of the guests were courtiers and some high-ranking dignitaries.
Most of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion came here in person, and even those who passed away had their descendants come to congratulate them on their behalf.
There was a dark crowd outside the mansion, each gathering in a group to talk and laugh loudly, while the servants were carrying heavy gift burdens, holding gift lists in their hands, waiting eagerly for Butler Wu to call out the names one by one.
The guests were like clouds, just like a court meeting in Tai Chi Palace. They were busy until almost noon. Butler Wu, who called the roll call, had a hoarse voice and the guests still couldn't see the end.
Li Qinzai was secretly amazed.
The British Duke's weight in the court was greater than he imagined.
The wedding ceremony only starts in the afternoon, and the word "marriage" refers to "hun", which means that the wedding ceremony begins after dusk.
When Li Siwen saw his bastard son wandering around the house with nothing to do, he was furious and kicked him to the front yard and ordered him to pick up the guests.
Li Qinzai, whose own father could not afford to offend him and who dared to burn down the ancestral home of a thousand-year-old family, could only stand at the door to welcome guests.
As expected, the first batch of guests were still the same group of old killers, headed by Su Dingfang, Qibi Heli, and Xue Rengui, still walking at the end with a gentle and elegant smile on his face.
Li Qinzai hurriedly stepped forward to salute. After yelling at his grandfather and uncle, which provoked the old killers to punch and kick them affectionately, he finally invited them into the backyard and handed them over to Li Ji to take care of them.
Xue Rengui was still walking at the end, suddenly stopped, smiled at Li Qinzai and said: "First of all, congratulations to my nephew on his wedding. My nephew shared the profits from the business of your house's Zhuyan Cream to my son. The whole Xue family appreciates it."
Li Qinzai hurriedly said he didn't dare.
Among the many veteran killers, Xue Rengui is the most pleasing to the eye. He is an open and honest person. He will at least say thank you when receiving benefits and treat favors in a down-to-earth manner.
Patting Li Qinzai's shoulder, Xue Rengui looked envious: "Your Majesty has a good grandson. If my dog is half as good as my nephew, it won't make my hair turn gray from worry. I hope my nephew will mention it more in the future."
I'll be happy if you interact more with me."
Li Qinzai said seriously: "Uncle Xue, although Xue Na's character is a bit domineering, he has a good heart and is a compassionate and righteous man. You can't just focus on his shortcomings."
Xue Rengui was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything. He just nodded and walked straight to the backyard.
As soon as Xue Rengui left, Xue Ne, dressed in brand new clothes, rushed in.
"Brother Jingchu, has my father entered the backyard?" Xue Na looked around anxiously.
Li Qinzai glanced at him and said: "Just now I was saying good things about you in front of your father, but seeing you sneaking around and stealing landmines, I suddenly regretted it... Quanzi really should be educated more."
Xue Ne said with a smile: "Brother Jingchu, don't make trouble. On the big day, you and your beautiful lady enter the bridal chamber, but I get beaten for no reason. It doesn't make sense."
As he spoke, Xue Ne saluted him again: "Thank you very much, brother Jingchu, for sharing the profits from the business of the Zhuyan Cream. I also heard that the evil beast of the Xu family has withdrawn from the business? Haha, brother Jingchu's reputation is indeed true."
It’s not false.”
Li Qinzai twitched his cheeks. There was something he really couldn't bear to tell him. Xu Yanbo now had a more profitable business, and he was earning foreign exchange...
Forget it, neither of us will cause trouble for each other on the big day.
"If you have free time, help me greet the guests. Don't treat yourself as a guest. You are just a handyman today."
Xue Ne readily agreed, and immediately bowed and saluted the endless stream of guests with a smile on his face.
Not long after, Li Sujie, Li Xianqi, Bi Zhen and other gangsters came. They all wore brand new clothes and greeted each other with courtesy and congratulations.
Li Qinzai was not polite to them and arranged for them to go into the backyard to interact with the guests, temporarily acting as an atmosphere group to warm up the venue.
Standing at the door, I felt an inexplicable chill on my back, and I always felt like a demonic wind was blowing through me.
Li Qinzai was wondering why he had such a reaction when he heard a burst of wild laughter.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh... Li's baby, I finally caught you today!"
Li Qinzai turned around in horror and saw a big, furry face. It was ugly and murderous.
Li Qinzai was startled, reacted immediately, and saluted hurriedly: "My dear, pay homage to Grandpa Cheng..."
Cheng Yaojin smoothed his messy beard and laughed: "Good boy, last year I wanted to kidnap you into the house and drink you drunk, but your grandfather said that you were staying in the village in Weinan County and refused to come back.
Chang'an, what's so good about the remote countryside? Are the ladies more handsome than those in Chang'an city?"
Li Qinzai laughed awkwardly.
This question is difficult to answer, because the village girls in Ganjingzhuang are indeed more beautiful than those in Chang'an City. And from today on, you can not only look at them, but also touch them.
"Grandpa Cheng has been away for a long time. I still miss Grandpa Cheng very much in the village..." Li Qinzai told lies without conscience.
Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "I miss you so much. If you tell lies, try to make your expression more realistic. Although I am old, I am not that easily fooled..."
With a hook of his right hand, Cheng Yaojin hooked him to a quiet place beside the door and whispered: "My uncle Cheng has done you a lot of favors. If you hadn't temporarily changed the sea route at the beginning of the year and landed in the Japanese country, how could such a shocking incident have happened?
The result of destroying the country?"
"With your help, my uncle Xian was promoted two ranks. He was promoted to Right Guard Zhonglang General. The Cheng family finally made some progress. This kind old man took over. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to come.
Ask me, I will help you."
Cheng Yaojin said again: "Liu Rengui, I was angry when you disobeyed orders and acted arbitrarily, so I helped you dismantle the old man's kennel and beat him up. It's considered as the interest of this favor. You're welcome!"
Li Qinzai opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
I can't afford to offend Lao Shacai, so I send him away quickly.
Cheng Yaojin didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. He turned around and looked around, and suddenly shouted: "Where's Bo Xian? Get out of here! Keep associating with Jingchu."
"Old man Li has never done anything in human affairs in his life, but this grandson is good. You two are so close. If I know that you are still hanging out with those gangsters in Chang'an City, I will destroy your legs and drive you to the streets to beg for food."
."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Boxian strode through the door, saluted and congratulated Li Qinzai first, looking up to the sky and laughing as if he was carved out of the same mold as Cheng Yaojin.
"My dear brother is so talented. I didn't expect that I took a risk with my dear brother and ended up getting rich by taking advantage of you."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Brother Shang Xian doesn't care if I knocked your sap on the ship."
Cheng Boxian's dusty memories were awakened, and he suddenly showed an angry look: "By the way, where is your bodyguard? I still have an old debt to settle with that guy, and I just want to settle it today."
