Chapter 372: Three major hobbies in life: solving crimes, selling tea, and eating banquets
While talking in front of the hall, there was also a lot of drama inside and outside the wealthy family.
The groom's best man and the bride's best man were coming and going, playing tricks, playing various games, and composed a lot of poems.
The difficulties faced by the Zheng Mansion were not easy to overcome, but fortunately the Li family in Zhao County had Li Qiao shine brightly, allowing the groom to pass smoothly.
Li Yan looked at this future literary master and thought of his equally famous foodie ancestor, Su Weili.
After being selected as a Jinshi, the man waited for two years to be selected by the Ministry of Civil Service. Now he is officially relieved and has become an official. With an official position, he can train a lot.
There are also those Jiangnan scholars involved in the Yundan case who can pay attention and inject new strength into the Jiangnan gentry.
On the other side, the sisters-in-law and maids embraced the gorgeously dressed Mrs. Zheng and left the boudoir.
There was no red hijab on Mrs. Zheng's head. In the Tang Dynasty, only after leaving the house, the bride had to take off the knee covering around her belly and cover her face so as not to be seen by outsiders. It was not necessary at other times.
Face-covering.
However, after leaving the house and entering the hall, she was not allowed to meet the groom. Instead, a heavy curtain was hung in the hall as a barrier, with a saddle placed in the middle. Mrs. Zheng was supported and sat on the saddle, facing south and facing north.
The "Goose Laying Ceremony" began.
In the past, the reason why the groom held the wild goose was because this animal was very important in the wedding. The matchmaker would bring the wild goose during the matchmaking ceremony, and also used it during the adoption ceremony. Now it is also required when the wedding is officially completed.
Geese are migratory birds, migrating north and south with climate changes, and have fixed mates. If one dies, the other will no longer choose a mate.
The ancients believed that the geese traveling from south to north follow the yin and yang, and the spouses are fixed and in line with the righteousness and etiquette. The use of wild geese as a ritual in marriage symbolizes the harmony of yin and yang, loyalty and single-mindedness of the newlyweds.
At this time, the groom was holding the goose, trying to luck out on the other side of the tent. With a loud shout, he threw it across the barrier.
The maids around Madam Zheng immediately rushed over, caught it with quick eyes and hands, shook off the red wrap, and then wrapped the goose's mouth with five-color silk brocade to suppress the croaking.
After the wedding is over, the groom's family will "ransom" the goose with their property and release it. This is to bless the newlyweds and cannot be stewed.
Next, a pair of boys and girls came forward and removed the barriers. The groom entered the tent and officially saw the bride. After the ceremony of laying the goose, the newlyweds bid farewell to the bride's parents.
Seeing that his daughter was about to get married, Zheng Rentong couldn't help but his eyes turned red at this moment, and he said slowly: "When you go to your husband's house, you should be filial to your parents-in-law, and your husband and wife will be harmonious. Follow the rules and encourage them, and you will not violate them day and night!"
Mrs. Zheng bowed down in tears: "Aye, I understand! I understand!"
When the newlyweds left the house, things here came to an end. Li Yan, as the woman's guest, ate, drank, danced and returned to the Li Mansion.
The wedding was originally held in the evening. It was almost too late to return home at this time. Li Yan looked at the direction of the martial arts training ground with some reluctance: "Have you been having too many social events recently? Except for some things about tomorrow that I really can't postpone.
Everything that fell was pushed by me, delaying my practice."
Xu Da thought that you were still practicing when you were at work. He looked at the schedule and looked a little strange: "Xiao Lang, what you remember tomorrow is...eating."
Li Yan immediately became energetic: "Which restaurant do you want to eat at? Oh... Yang Zhirou wants to ask?"
Xu Dadao: "Yes, the former Crown Prince Zhan Shi Yang Jiaben died of illness in prison, and the former Minister of Household Affairs Yang Zhirou will be executed tomorrow. Xiao Lang specifically asked me to mark that he would go to Yang Mansion for a banquet."
Li Yan smiled: "Your Majesty Yang Chongji also resigned due to illness not long ago. The Hongnong Yang family is having a hard time. It seems that I really want to go to his house to express my condolences. Other things can be slowed down. This matter
Things cannot be pushed aside."
Xu Da: "..."
He finally figured out that Xiao Lang had three major hobbies besides daily practice: solving crimes, selling tea, and eating banquets.
After a deep sleep all night, Li Yan got up energetically, picked up the knife and went to work.
After working hard at the martial arts training ground until noon, he immediately left the city and headed for Dongshi, where the execution was to be carried out.
There is no doubt that this place is in need of someone.
Qiu Shenji clocked in at the execution ground and was never absent.
When Li Yan arrived at the scene, he couldn't help but be startled.
Because Qiu Shenji came wearing a scarlet robe, with a bulging belly, and looked very proud in the crowd.
No one was wearing official robes to watch the execution. Li Yan himself changed into civilian clothes. He couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it. Qiu Shenji waved his hands repeatedly: "Liu Lang! This way!"
Li Yan walked over, hugged his fists, and teased: "Qiu Jiyi!"
Qiu Shenji felt great, and he quickly clasped his fists, smiling so hard that he almost grinned: "Oh, oh, oh, Liulang, stop making fun of me, you can't do it, you can't do it~"
Li Yan smiled and shook his head. Conquering Fei was indeed a great joy. Qiu Shenji could be said to have continued the glory of Qiu Mansion and prevented this family of military commanders from declining.
It was he who promoted Qiu Shenji to the position of Jiyishi. He does what he does according to his official rank. He is now a fourth-rank official, the leader of the Internal Guard Pavilion, and can cultivate a group of capable forces.
Among his confidants, Qiu Shenji really made the most meritorious service. After all, what he interrogated was key information, especially the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, which made the court react first. Now that King Poyang has been controlled, the biggest disaster has been eliminated.
, naturally the credit is great.
Recommended by Li Yan, Qiu Shenji finally completed the leap from the sixth grade to the fifth grade and became an important member of the imperial court.
However, with Qiu Shenji's ability, if he is asked to govern a party, there will definitely be trouble. This person is a professional talent. As long as there are prisoners, his work will be indispensable for a day. There is no need to do things that he is not good at.
In comparison, some of Di Renjie, Guo Yuanzhen, Anshen Gan and even Xue Chuyu do not need to be limited to the inner guards, especially Di Pangpang. Li Yan is going to put him in Jiangnan to control the obscene worship customs there.
Just as he was thinking about it, a prison car escorted him from a distance, and the prisoners headed by Yang Zhirou and Zheng Sanlang appeared in everyone's sight.
Another minister of the Sixth Ministry, and the Yang family of Hongnong, a famous family in the country.
Ordinary people don't care whether they pretend to be or not, they only know that Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty, Emperor Yang, came from this family, and he was much more powerful than any famous Shandong family.
The high-ranking officials of the Yang family in Hongnong were beheaded, which showed that the saint was wise, and everyone clapped their hands and applauded.
Li Yanze skillfully prepared to take action.
During the Wu Zetian period in history, Yang Zhirou was the third-ranked prime minister under Tong Zhongshu's sect and the first prime minister to join the cabinet. Just because he and Rong Guo's wife Yang were in the imperial palace together and were close relatives of the foreign family, such a well-known figure naturally wanted to try to obtain

…
When the officials from the Criminal Department skillfully brought the criminal to the stage, Yang Zhirou knelt down, trembling all over, while the eagle flew high in the sky again to attract attention.
Qiu Shenji was surprised: "Yuanfang, is that your eagle? Why is it here again? Does it like me to watch executions?"
Taking advantage of everyone's distraction, Li Yan seized the opportunity, flicked his finger, and imitated Shang Gong's Shadowless Needle, quietly inserting a needle into Yang Zhirou's eyebrow.
The man was silent and died immediately. Then the executioner cut him off with a single blow and his head fell to the ground.
[Buzai Wuming (effective)]
[Yang Zhirou’s highest attribute is family background, and he successfully extracted 1 point of family background attribute]
Li Yan saved his attributes and felt very happy.
Obviously, the family background is kept at a relatively low level, and coupled with the extremely high luck, killing these officials who basically rely on the family to reach high positions is almost a one-shot draw.
Thinking about it this way, he looked forward to the children of the Wu family even more.
After all, the status of the Queen Mother's relatives and the Queen's relatives are very different, and there are so many children of the Wu family...
hey-hey!
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Sanlang, who had brutally killed his colleagues, was also punished by Ming Zhengdian. Li Yan waited for Qiu Shenji to read it with relish: "Qiu Jiyi, let's go to the Yang Mansion for a banquet."
Qiu Shenji trembled with joy again: "Let's go!"
But after leaving Dongshi, he became strange again.
The last time we went to Cui Mansion for a banquet, it was promised to Jun that we would live and die together. This time, Yang Zhirou wasn't familiar enough to do that, was he?
Qiu Shenji rolled his eyes and asked, "Liu Lang, when we go to the Yang Mansion, do we have anything else to do besides paying respect?"
Li Yan did not hide it from him: "There is indeed a secret about my childhood. Many nobles in the pass are involved, but it is usually difficult for them to explain it. This time I just want to find out the reason."
Qiu Shenji paused slightly and bared his teeth: "Liu Lang has a high position, so there are some things I can't say. Let's look at mine!"
…
Yang Mansion.
Guanwangfang is the most noble of the Yang family. The mansion occupies a small half of the area. In terms of grandeur alone, it is even more impressive than the Duke's mansion.
The place is big, so there are naturally more seats, and the banquet is also lively. This time alone, there are nearly a thousand people gathered in the Yang family, not to mention their entourage.
It's a pity that there are no more purple-robed officials coming and going.
It's not that the Yang family really has no third-grade high-ranking officials, but those governors are in various places, and it is impossible to return to the capital because Yang Zhirou was cut off. In the sequence of capital officials, Yang Jiaben and Yang Zhirou died one after another, plus Yang Chongji's illness.
Resigning from office caused a great loss of power to the Yang family.
Therefore, the expressions on the faces of the adults were really sad, but the expressions on the children's faces were more real. They were very greedy when they saw the dishes on the table and waited eagerly.
It wasn't until the guard at the prison sent word that the children became frightened.
Because inside and outside the hall, from lively to quiet, just one announcement is needed:
"Li Yuanfang, leader of the Inner Guard Pavilion, and Qiu Shenji, the envoy of the Inner Guards, should pay a visit to the mansion."
