The crackling firecrackers were set off by people in Zhang Yuan. In fact, after more than two thousand years of development, firecrackers have already begun to burn bamboo tubes in a fire, and then used the sound of the bamboo tubes to explode.
This celebration gradually turned into a popping rod filled with charcoal and saltpeter in the bamboo tube to get a louder sound.
As gunpowder became more and more common, firecrackers, which polluted the air in later generations and were banned everywhere, have also become available. There are even so-called thousand poles, two thousand poles, etc., which are like the thousand bangs in later generations.
Two thousand rings.
However, the Taizu of this dynasty had very strict control over gunpowder. After he came to the throne, he claimed that gunpowder firecrackers could easily cause fires and were difficult to control. Therefore, firecrackers filled with gunpowder and Kongming lanterns were strictly prohibited, and even all firecrackers in the capital were banned.
Officials and wealthy families have imposed strict prohibitions on setting off gunpowder firecrackers from top to bottom, and can only set off firecrackers, literally...
Nowadays, even though it has been a long time since the founding of the country, many of the old rules from the Taizu period have long been thrown into the past. However, most officials will still abide by the rule of not setting off firecrackers to avoid being caught by some over-corrected censors.
Live. As for the firecrackers produced by private firecrackers among the people, that is, some people set off privately during festivals and weddings, and the Yamen has no control over them.
Although the sound of the firecrackers was somewhat less powerful than the deafening firecrackers, now that the artistic conception was there, Zhang Shou was naturally not so picky. At this time, he had just quietly sneaked into his wedding party on the road, but later he
Lu Sanlang and Little Fatty Lu, who had slipped away quietly at some point, came out with a bulging chest and belly.
That's right, the man who praised Zhang Yuan's wedding today was none other than the little fat man. This is why he didn't compete with Zhang Chen and others to be the best man.
At this moment, with a smile on his face, he accompanied Zhang Shou to welcome Zhu Ying who came down from the sedan chair. Seeing that the eldest lady's red wedding dress was more gorgeous than other brides, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue and waited for the young couple to go.
When the bride and groom were going to have wedding ceremonies, he just lowered his voice and said, "Sir, your wedding today will really shock the whole city."
Zhang Shou was originally thinking that Zhu Ying lifted her red hijab too quickly today. Being a step behind, he couldn't see clearly whether she was wearing heavy makeup, lightly swiping her eyebrows, or not using makeup in a creative way, but when he heard Lu Sanlang
At these words, he couldn't help but feel a slight thump in his heart, and suddenly thought of Ah Liu's abnormal behavior these days.
However, before he could ask too many questions about Lu Sanlang, this little fat man whose tonnage was obviously getting more and more powerful slipped away like a gust of wind.
When Zhang Shou arrived at the new house, when he took off Zhu Ying's bright red hijab, he saw a radiant face. The eldest lady may occasionally show her face without makeup, or occasionally with light makeup, but today
For this occasion, she, who has always been good at dressing herself up, started painting carefully from the morning to create the most perfect makeup for herself.
At this moment, Zhu Ying got her wish and saw Zhang Shou's undisguised stunning expression, and she immediately raised her eyebrows and smiled triumphantly. But the next moment, she saw that his expression became a little weird. He was silent.
After staring like this for a while, she finally felt a little uneasy and even thought there was something wrong with her makeup.
But at this moment, she heard a sigh coming from in front of her: "Yingying, I'm afraid no one will dare to come into the new house today. If I see you, it's easy to feel ashamed. I'm afraid that people will hide their faces and leave.
Looking back, more than half of the few female guests in the backyard will run away."
"Glib tongue!" Zhu Ying cursed angrily, but she was happy in her heart. Even though she was used to hearing compliments, she still felt extremely happy after hearing such disguised praise.
However, although she wanted to retaliate, the way you greeted your bride today was really attracting bees and butterflies, but when the words came to her lips, she remembered the warnings of her grandmother and parents when she left home, so she calmed down a little and just waited until the same day.
After eating all the food and drinks that Lao Hexin had eaten, she felt hungry after not eating much all morning and afternoon.
As for before... wherever she could take care of eating, she was busy giving herself a wedding without any regrets.
Although he really wanted to stay in the new house for a while, when Lu Sanlang's newlywed wife Liu Qing announced outside the door, it was Lu Sanlang who told him that there were so many guests today and he, the groom, was invited to receive them.
When she came to take care of Bian's new house, Zhang Shou still had to reluctantly leave.
It was just that it was too much trouble to attend the wedding, so he was completely indifferent to such formalistic things...
Although Mr. Wu should really want to stay in his new house to accompany his newly married daughter-in-law, there is no reason for her mother-in-law to come to her son-in-law's new house on her wedding night, so he really has nothing to worry about when Liu Qing, an acquaintance of hers, comes to stay.
However, Liu Qing's words about "the house is full of guests" really made him murmur in his heart.
The reason lies in the huge number of those fifty tables, and the huge number of invitations that Ah Liu sent to whom he didn't even know...
"Then... Yingying, just wait here with peace of mind. If you need anything, just call me." When Zhang Shou said this, he suddenly paused. Thinking of Zhu Ying's words about Zhu Tingfang's new house spoiler at the wedding, he immediately added
He said, "If someone comes to the new house to make trouble, you can deal with it how you want. Don't worry about causing trouble. If you don't treat yourself as a guest, then there is no need to be polite!"
"Okay, okay, I know, I'm not a doughy person. It's good if I don't bully others. Are you still afraid of people bullying me?" Zhu Ying couldn't laugh or cry at all. She pushed Zhang Shou on the back, "Go ahead, go ahead."
, but don’t come back smelling of alcohol, otherwise I’ll ignore you tonight!”
As soon as the words came out, she realized the language error in it, and her face suddenly turned red. What made her completely unexpected was that Zhang Shou suddenly came close to her ear, as if he wanted to whisper something, but just when she was about to listen attentively
At that moment... he suddenly blew a breath into her ear, then took a step away with a smile, blinked and left.
After a long while, Zhu Ying, whose ears were red, finally realized that she had been teased by Zhang Shou again! Although they were a legitimate couple, she couldn't help but feel angry after being teased by him again and again today.
Shou had already left the door, and Liu Qing entered the room at the right time. She could only angrily hit the pillow with her pink fist and said: "Ah, I am really angry to death!"
"What's going on here?"
As soon as Liu Qing came in, she saw Zhu Ying losing her temper with a blushing face, and was immediately shocked. Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying were not married yet, so they were just mixing things up. Why are they so awkward now that they finally got married?
But her question was completely ignored by Zhu Ying, because she only saw the eldest lady pinching and pinching the soft pillow as if she was venting her anger, as if she thought it was Zhang Shou.
Not to mention how Liu Qing, who has just passed the bride stage, and Zhu Ying, who has just entered the bride stage, will communicate with each other. When Zhang Shou walked out of the yard where the new house was, he met Lu Sanlang who was waiting there. Just watch.
The fat man's face was full of smiles, and he knew that the so-called surprise that Ah Liu mentioned before should be waiting for him there.
Knowing that Lu Sanlang, the liker, most likely already knew about it, but at this time he definitely wanted to show off, he simply ignored it and walked out as if nothing had happened. Sure enough, the little fat man who had just sneaked away to avoid his interrogation, now
When my son found out that he really didn’t ask, he was scratching his head and scratching his head. But in the end, the little fat man held it back!
Therefore, Zhang Shou simply followed Lu Sanlang directly to the main venue where the most wedding banquets were placed, which is the Jiusi Hall in the middle hall of Zhang Garden. When he really saw the Confucian crown like clouds
, the house was full of guests, and they were drinking and drinking. Only then did he realize that the guests who came today did not seem to be just a random number.
The problem is, when he looked around, he saw countless unfamiliar faces!
Naturally, his appearance as the groom's official would not go unnoticed. As someone shouted that Academician Zhang was coming, even if everything was not completely silent for an instant, the wedding banquets that had been noisy just now were all filled with people.
, suddenly countless pairs of eyes changed their direction, and the voice of the conversation suddenly became much softer.
And Zhang Shou was worried about having to fall into the troublesome situation of recognizing people's faces again, when he heard a loud voice: "Jiuzhang, you finally came out of the new house! Come on, come on, sit here, this
On this special day, no one can stop me as a closed disciple! And Lu Gaoyuan, you kid, come here too!"
Having seen Master Ge who was sitting in the chief position a long time ago, Lu Sanlang suddenly burst into laughter and whispered to Zhang Shou: "Teacher, you see, Master Ge is really protecting you. Teacher, you went to welcome the bride before."
At that time, Patriarch Ge really killed everyone and praised you, a closed disciple, to the sky. At that time, I couldn't even interrupt if I wanted to."
He didn't say a word, but with Ge Yong blocking him, Zhang Shou saved a lot of work of recognizing people and toasting him! After all, Mrs. Ge's seniority and identity were there, and no one was good at Zhang Shou.
Put it in front of you!
Zhang Shou was indeed relieved for this, but the little fat man was chattering next to him, so he couldn't help turning his head and laughing and said: "They say that if the teacher has something to do, the disciple will do his job. I asked Lu Gaoyuan, do you want to do it for me?"
Go table by table and toast?"
The little fat man who was eloquent just now suddenly had a bitter look on his face. Of course he would be willing to do this kind of showing off his face on weekdays, but the problem is that there are fifty tables today! If he toasts table by table, wouldn't he be drunk?
die?
So, he could only quickly beg for mercy and said: "Teacher, this is absolutely unacceptable. Many of the guests here today are famous in the capital and even in the world, but I am not qualified!"
Zhang Shou, who was walking towards Ge Yong's table, stopped for a moment, and then deliberately smiled softly: "A famous person in the world? It won't be a few months after my wedding date is confirmed. When the invitations are sent out,
It is already very late. After all, even if the celebrities in the Gyeonggi area are really willing to show off, they can barely make it in time, but how can celebrities from other places in the world make it in time? What’s more, how can I have such a big reputation?
?”
"Teacher, why don't you have such a great reputation? Just because you are the most trusted teacher of His Highness, your reputation is as big as the sky! Teacher, do you think that all famous people in the world are indifferent to the world? Of course such a person with a noble nature will
It’s impossible, but the problem is, most people want to eat, support their families, and more importantly, they want to carry forward their own school of thought, so how can they not come out?”
Seeing Zhang Shou's thoughtful expression, Lu Sanlang nuzzled his lips at the four guests who continued to chat and laugh: "The emperor summoned the four mountain chiefs to the capital before, and then made three of them serve as lecturers in the East Palace.
Read, among all the celebrities and sages in the world, who wouldn’t be tempted to take those three as role models?”
"No, it should be said that when these four came to Beijing, many people were already interested when they heard that they might become the prince's disciples. At that time, the third prince and the fourth prince were of course just young ones at the back of the order.
Prince, why is the prince's teacher a first-come-first-served opportunity? Maybe he can make his doctrines gain recognition from the emperor?"
"So, these people were already on their way to Beijing at that time. When they heard that the crown prince was crowned, they left even faster!"
"However, many people are considered sages in various places, and even local officials have to pay tribute. When they arrive in the capital, apart from their local officials, how many people know about them? The bosses in the court may know a few, but do they know
It doesn’t mean that you need to be polite, just like the previous mountain chiefs, didn’t some of them not have the title of Jinshi?”
"Among these so-called celebrities and sages, there are some who have written a lot of works, but the government has been a carrot and a trap, who is willing to give them a chance? And they don't want to rush to the door of the powerful, look at other people's faces, and rely on others. In this case,
Teacher, your wedding, which is already well-known throughout the city, actually ordered someone to send invitations to them. How many people will come?"
Probably because he had been hiding it before, now he finally found an opportunity to talk, so Lu Sanlang naturally spoke loudly. So, Zhang Shou, who had been kept in the dark for many days, finally knew that his wedding banquet was exactly what happened.
It turned into a gathering of talents - the word "virtue" was actually written on the invitation sent out before!
How can it be that now that he, Zhang Shoujing, calls the other person a wise man, other people are actually happy to attend his wedding banquet?
Zhang Shou had never thought of adding such political or cultural factors to his wedding, but when Lu Sanlang added jealously, he said that the person who wrote the invitation for Ah Liu this time was none other than his father, Lu Wan, and
Liu Zhiyuan, and it was the Lu family who did the sending of the invitations. What else could he say, blaming Lu Wan for cheating him? He seems to have cheated others more often...
When he came to the main table, Master Ge was sitting at the head table with a smile. When he saw him, he coughed dryly and said: "I have stopped accepting disciples for a long time at my old age, but I think that in Chapter 9
His father-in-law went out of his way to invite him, but I was still hesitant at that time and almost missed the opportunity."
Ge Yong very vaguely mentioned his past life as a hermit when he went to the countryside to teach students but was not successful at all. Seeing Zhang Shou's expression of embarrassment, he laughed again: "It's fate after all. He should be my student, and that's me."
No one can take away our students!"
Chu Ying, who was sitting next to her, almost turned her nose in anger at Ge Yong's words. Who wants to steal your students? Old man Ge, you don't have to go out of your way to tell them? And when Qi Jingshan saw these two old kid-like guys, he said:
If he wanted to argue, he could only leave them behind, stand up with a smile and say: "Today is a happy day for Jiuzhang, but it is also a rare gathering of talents!"
