Chapter 793: The Welcome Team, Happy to Taihu Lake
Chapter 793: The wedding team arrives at Taihu Lake
A huge team left Lin'an City in a mighty manner, then turned north and walked slowly towards Taihu Lake!
There were about three to four hundred people in the entire team, all of whom were wearing red wedding clothes. At the front, on the high-level avoidance sign, were the words "Shen Mansion" and "Welcome" written in large gold characters!
Behind the sign, Shen Tang, dressed in No. 1 scholar uniform, rode a horse. The red flowers slanting on his chest were fresh and gorgeous, in sharp contrast to the pure white horse sitting down!
Behind Shen Tang, Shen Ming followed closely on horseback. As the only brother who came from the same village as Shen Tang, he naturally had to occupy an important position in such an occasion!
Next to Shen Ming was Lu Feng, who had also rushed back after a long journey!
He and Shen Tang have known each other since they were young, and they have followed Shen Tang step by step until now. Their hearts are constantly filled with emotions and emotions!
After that, there were a group of military men who happened to be meeting! Although their wedding clothes were askew, everyone was grinning and smiling!
Mingyang, Qian Hong and others led the Shen family's guards and servants, holding flags, gongs, umbrellas and fans, making the entire team more lively and spectacular.
Afterwards, the red sedan chair carried by eight people was extremely conspicuous! The curtains were made of the most beautiful bright red silk, and the left and right sides were embroidered with auspicious patterns such as rich peonies, red phoenixes and rising sun.
Right in front is a picture of a hundred children, which is even more festive!
There are gold and silver threads running through the curtains, making this bright red sedan look even more exquisite and gorgeous!
At the end of the team, there is a team carrying various gifts, red wooden poles and gifts wrapped in red silk. This is exactly what the so-called Shili Hongzhuang is!
In addition, the accompanying boys and maids doing odd jobs interspersed among the team from time to time, making the team look even more bloated!
There is also a special sedan in this team! As a matchmaker, Zhang Jun is naturally indispensable on this day! And around his sedan, there are officials from the Ministry of Etiquette!
Some idlers who were watching the excitement stepped forward, said a few pleasant words, and took the copper plate wrapped in red paper from the hands of the Shen family's servants, filled with joy!
There are also unmarried girls who look at this festive scene with envy and wonder if they will be able to have such a scene when they get married in the future!
There were even more ignorant children running wildly with the team. Their shabby pockets were filled with candies and various snacks scattered by the Shen family's maids and servants. For them, today's celebration was definitely unforgettable... …
The team was not marching very fast. Almost all the officials in the counties and counties they passed along the way came out of the city to greet them and send them off respectfully!
A genuine third-grade officer is already worthy of their favor, not to mention that there is also a secret envoy in this team!
Although Shen Tang could not be said to like these people, on days like this, he would naturally not hit anyone with a smiling face, so they can be said to be a perfect match!
Moving forward slowly, finally, before sunset, the team arrived at Pingjiang Mansion!
The prefect personally led the officials in the government office and ushered the team in! This time, Shen Tang's attitude was naturally more friendly.
This is the ancestral land of the Shao family after all. Although a prefect is not worthy of his favor, it is somewhat helpful to the Shao family!
Although it is already evening, the streets of Pingjiang Prefecture are refreshing and clean. In fact, you can see high-hanging red lanterns everywhere, hiding the upcoming late night light!
After declining the banquet, the huge team went directly to a huge mansion!
Zhang Jun helped install this house, so it is enough for a group of people to stay!
After running around for a day, everyone was already tired.
Therefore, it didn’t take long for the originally complicated courtyard to return to a peaceful state!
Lying in a strange room and on a strange bed, Shen Tang didn't feel much discomfort!
Fragments flashed through his mind one after another, like a dream. He came to this world, and had the company and love of several women. From the initial stranger, he has now adapted and taken root!
This is his own luck and happiness. He is looking forward to continuing to maintain this happiness and luck until the end of his life!
I don’t know how long it took, and I don’t know which scene was fixed in Shen Tang’s mind, and he finally fell into sleep due to fatigue, until Mingyang’s familiar voice sounded outside the door!
"Master, the time is coming!"
Shen Tang woke up from his drowsiness and lit the candle on the table!
Mingyang pushed the door open and brought the warm water in for Shen Tang to wash up!
"Is Mr. Zhang in good spirits?"
Shen Tang asked softly!
In fact, Shen Tang originally wanted Zhang Jun to wait in Lin'an. After all, although Zhang Jun is in good health now, he is not young after all. The round trip is indeed not far, but it is definitely not comfortable!
"Master, don't worry!"
Mingyang responded with a smile, "Xiang Zhang woke up half an hour ago and just ate a bowl of white porridge and a few cakes."
Shen Tang nodded slightly.
After washing up, a maid brought food to him. Shen Tang was not polite. He wolfed down his food and filled his stomach. Then he got dressed and went to the courtyard!
Everyone was ready. Then, those who needed to get on their horses got on their horses, and those who needed to get on their cars got on their cars. The team resumed its original shape and continued to set off!
Not long after we left, we saw the magistrate's guard of honor in front of us again, waiting quietly! There were some bloodshot eyes in the magistrate's eyes. It was obvious that his sleep last night was not full! However, there was no smile on his face. The slightest bit of perfunctory and falsehood!
After greeting Shen Tang and Zhang Jun, the prefect's guard of honor and sedan quietly followed the team. In front of the team, there were already government officials sent by the prefect to prepare along the way to prevent unexpected changes!
They had just had a good night's sleep, had a good meal, and the destination was right in front of them, so everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace!
The huge team spread out for several miles. When the darkness fell and the sun shone again, the team finally arrived near Taihu Lake!
There was no need to find the way, Mr. Shao had already asked people to hang red lanterns along the official road until they were ten miles away from Shao's house!
Moreover, on both sides of the official road, the Shao family sent their most capable servants to inquire about the status of the wedding team. As soon as the team showed up, someone rushed back to report the situation!
"Everyone, young and old, we are about to arrive. Show off your strength and start playing! We can't lose the huge reward given by the Marquis!"
The honor guard, who had been holding back for a long time, heard the shouts from the people, and each one used their best skills to make the originally peaceful street lively!
