The princess's wedding ceremony had just ended, and Xu Zizhen left Xingqing Mansion with Li Luoyan. Li Qianshun was still waiting for his new son-in-law to serve tea in the small courtyard. When he got such news, he was so angry that he almost lost his temper. But in the end he gave up, because he got the news that the daughter of the Yun family was pregnant. Now he didn't want to cause any trouble. He just hoped that Xu Zizhen would give him a grandson to hug as soon as possible. In addition, he also wanted to find out how to forge the firearms as soon as possible. cash.
It was already dark when Xu Zizhen took Li Luoyan back to Yaode City, and there was nothing he could do about it. There were many people guarding the ceremony, and he couldn't walk fast enough. It was pretty good that he could get there now.
From a distance, I saw a lot of people crowding outside the gate of the inner city. The leader was Xu Xuan, who was wearing new clothes and full of energy. Xu Zizhen saw him, and he also saw Xu Zizhen, and shouted from afar: "Come on, come on." , the young master is here!"
Boom!
Fireworks bloomed all over the city tower, and the sound resounded throughout the sky. The colorful sparks illuminated the entire sky as bright as day. Countless people outside and inside the city rushed out, looking up one by one with unusual expressions on their faces. excited.
Xixia is not without gunpowder, but the people in a small place like Yaode City can't see the fireworks. Therefore, Xu Zizhen's wedding today is considered a blessing. Everyone has a taste of it, even in the carriage. Li Luoyan, the bride, quietly opened the car curtain and took a peek.
The guards of Yaode City and the princess's guard of honor gathered together to welcome the newlyweds into the city. It is a custom in Xixia to congratulate anyone who sees a wedding, whether they know each other or not, and Xu Zizhen's family now has a big business. A large flowing banquet was simply set up, and whoever came would sit down and be greeted by a large bowl of wine and large pieces of meat, showing off his style as a city lord.
The motorcade arrived in front of Xu Zizhen's house, and someone took Li Luoyan in first. Today, Xu Zizhen, Li Luoyan and Yun Shanglan paid a visit to the church together. For them, the wedding during the day did not count and would be held later. This is a formal ceremony.
Xu Zizhen and the local elders from Yaode City who came to greet him walked into the house talking and laughing. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a black face standing in the courtyard.
It's the head of the Yun family, his other father-in-law today.
The head of the Yun family is named Yun Dai. He has made a name for himself in the northwest in his twenties. In the past few years, despite the persecution of the Xiao family, he still managed the Yun family without any weakening. It can be said that he has a great reputation. Many heroes and heroes are attracted by him when they see him. They treated each other respectfully and politely, but Xu Zizhen wanted to be his son-in-law, and even treated him as a turnip instead of a green vegetable. He had no rules and dared to deceive him.
That day, he was so confused by Xu Zizhen that he went home without knowing why. After returning home, he slowly realized that Xu Zizhen had made him faint, but people in the world were talking about it, and he could not regret what he had promised, let alone his daughter. I was already overjoyed, so I could only grit my teeth and hold this anger in my stomach.
But today he came with the elders and prominent members of the clan, and did not see the bridegroom arrive until dark. This made him uneasy. He watched Xu Zizhen enter the courtyard with a smile, and finally came back. I couldn't help but put on a straight face and act like my deputy father-in-law, Taishan, and wanted to give him a blow.
"Hmph! You..."
As soon as Yun Dai started speaking, Xu Zizhen interrupted him with a strange look on his face: "Huh? Father-in-law, why are you here? You are going to worship soon. Why don't you sit back and wait for me to serve tea? Why are you running around? Xu Xuan, hurry up and dress up my father-in-law." After saying that, he led everyone to the main hall, chatting and laughing all the way, leaving the stunned Yun Dai there.
Xu Xuan, with his elegant appearance, immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Master Yun, your clothes are a bit messy. I will accompany you to change them into new ones. You will have to bow down later."
In desperation, Yun Dai was about to answer, but he heard a strange voice behind him saying: "Second brother, didn't you say that your virtuous son-in-law is very respectful to you? How come you are so bad when you are left here?
Someone comes to greet you?"
Xu Xuan had a smile on his face, but the word "servant" made him uncomfortable. Once upon a time, he was also the young master of the Xiao family. Even though he is now the housekeeper with the young master, Xu Zizhen never treats him as a current person. This comes out of nowhere.
Who is that bastard? You dare to say that I am a servant, and you dare to run against the young master's father-in-law?
Yun Dai knew who was speaking without turning around. There were many people in the clan, and there were always those who were dissatisfied with him. The one who was speaking now was one of them. In fact, it was no wonder that they dared to say anything wrong about Xu Zizhen, because he didn't tell the clan at all this time.
He only said that his daughter was getting married, and he didn't mention the relationship between Xu Zizhen and Yaode City. Therefore, even if those tribesmen came here, they only thought that this place was borrowed for ceremonies.
But no matter how bad Xu Zizhen is, he is his son-in-law after all. He doesn't allow others to make irresponsible remarks. Yun Dai is a person who protects his shortcomings, and he is in a bad mood. He snorted and walked away without changing anything.
After taking off my clothes, I entered the hall and sat down at the top.
The man Wuzi and several others sneered from behind: "My son-in-law doesn't take you seriously. He asked you how much the gift was but couldn't tell you. I don't know how proud you are."
Xu Xuan pretended not to hear and led those people into the hall. After a while, a vigorous old man with gray hair and beard stood at the top and shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has come, the new couple has entered the hall!"
The noisy main hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at the door eagerly, and saw Xu Zizhen, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, walking in from outside the hall with a smile. However, as soon as he walked in and saw the singing officer, he was stunned for a moment and lost his voice.
Said: "Master Mou? Why is it you?"
Xu Zizhen never expected that the singer at his wedding today would be the current Privy Councilor of Daxia Kingdom Mou Xianting Mou, an important minister in the court who was more important than ten thousand people.
Mou Xianting stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Today there is only the ceremonial officer Mou Shishu, but there is no Master Mou."
Xu Zizhen was surprised and happy. Mou Xianting gave him so much face that he couldn't bear it. But now it was too late to say anything. He had to bow respectfully and said with a smile: "Uncle Mou Shi, I've troubled you today. Please accept it."
My nephew, I say hello!"
In fact, Mou Xianting was not sent here by Li Qianshun or Li Renxiao, but simply to repay Xu Zizhen's favor and establish a deeper friendship. What he was waiting for was Xu Zizhen's words, and his nephew had actually confirmed the relationship between the two families.
But those people below didn't know, and the people watching the excitement didn't understand, but those with status in the Yun family were knowledgeable. When Xu Zizhen said "Master Mou", they guessed the identity of the singing officer.
Everyone was stunned, especially those who made the sarcastic remarks just now.
"Here comes the bride!"
A burst of chuckles and fragrant breeze came, and Li Luoyan and Yun Shanglan, both dressed in red wedding clothes, slowly walked into the hall, accompanied by Zhuo Ya and Gillian.
Everyone was stunned: "Huh? How come there are two brides?"
