"Sorry, we're late." Cheng Jinyang said sincerely.
"It's okay, it's just a family dinner, no need to pay attention to it," Yang Zixuan said quickly.
The guests present also laughed.
Since it was just an engagement ceremony, the Yang family only invited members of their own clan and some foreign clansmen with whom they had close personal relationships. It was not as crowded with guests as the previous Xing and Chu clans.
The etiquette is also more casual. There is no need to avoid taboos or pay homage. The maid just asks the maid to bring Yang Wangshu out, and together with Cheng Jinyang, he and Cheng Jinyang toast the guests one by one, and the matter is settled.
Seeing this beautiful couple going through the motions, the guests did a good job of concealing their weird emotions.
Yang Wangshu's age is quite normal. He got engaged at sixteen and got married at eighteen. The difference of two years is average.
Cheng Jinyang is a little older. He has reached the age of twenty and is already the age to get married. He will be twenty-two in two years.
If he followed the arrangements of the aristocratic family, he would usually not find a girl in his mid-twenties - why would he have to be engaged to an underage sister? Wouldn't it be nice to find a sister of the right age?
Unless the woman is overly strong. For example, if the bride is the daughter of a clan leader and has been designated to be engaged to someone on the man's side, the man is afraid of the woman's strength and has to marry... I'm wrong, I have to marry.
So there were guests at the table who didn't know what was going on and quietly asked the people they knew next to them:
"Could this Cheng Jinyang be from the Cheng family in the capital of God? I heard that the old patriarch of the Cheng family in the capital of God passed away last year, and the Cheng family itself can't even secure the fifth rank, so are you planning to cling to our Hongnong Yang family now?"
The man next to him was eating fish. When he heard this, the fish bone almost stuck in his throat. He coughed for a long time before he could breathe again, and then looked at him like an idiot:
"You should say less! I just met this person when I was having a drink at Chu's house. He is a person that even Chu Shizhong would like to have a warm welcome to!"
"Oh, I don't believe it. Cheng Jinyang is still having a drink at the Chu family, but he is coming to our Yang family to toast?"
"Why are you drinking? I want to marry Chu Qingqing, the daughter of Chu Shizhong!"
"...What the hell?"
Soon, similar news spread secretly among the guests at the scene through mobile networks.
Someone wrote a poem saying: First marry the daughter of the Chu family, and then marry the Yang family Shu. Three cups of combined wine, two phoenixes spitting out dragon beads.
Another person created an allusion of "Blessings of Jinyang", which is far better known than "Blessings of Qi people".
Of course, this is all a later story and cannot be stated in detail.
After Cheng Jinyang finished the toast, he took Yang Wangshu back to the back hall to talk to Yang Zixuan.
Yang Zixuan could not be more satisfied with this son-in-law.
You must know that a few years ago, Yang Wangshu was still a strange masked robot. It was difficult to even talk to people, so there was no need to have extravagant hopes of getting married.
As a result, not only has he returned to normal, but he has also found a super son-in-law - super capable, super strong background, super personal morals... forget it, the flaws are not concealed.
Now Yang Siping and Yang Quanqi both serve in the Beifu Army, and Yang Wangshu has also married to Jingkou, which means that Yang Zixuan has tied himself to Cheng Jinyang's chariot.
Of course, the reverse is also true.
As long as Cheng Jinyang does not fall, the status of Yang Zixuan and the Hongnong Yang family will be as stable as Mount Tai.
Even if we think further, if Yang Wangshu can seize the position of head wife, the Hongnong Yang family may not be able to produce another Yang Wenchang...
This was a powerful minister and the emperor's grandfather in the Sima Zhengdu dynasty. It can be said that he reached the pinnacle of the line of relatives (similar to the current Yu Yuangui). However, Sima Zhengdu was the culprit of the demon catastrophe, so Yang Wenchang's reputation was not very good.
.
However, a powerful minister is a powerful minister! Yu Yuangui made so many decision-making mistakes that if you put it on others, ten heads would not be enough to cut off. However, he is safe and sound. He is still the commander-in-chief of the Long Xiang Army and the governor of Jingzhou.
, this is the energy of powerful ministers!
Thinking of this, Yang Zixuan's attitude towards Cheng Jinyang became more and more warm and affectionate. He wished that Yang Wangshu would be two years older, get married at the speed of light, have children at the speed of light, and push the Hongnong Yang family back to the pinnacle of power.
Cheng Jinyang didn't want to pay attention to his future father-in-law's little thoughts. He still had six weddings to attend!
After bidding farewell to Yang Zixuan, the helicopter team set off for the Zheng clan land.
Compared with the previous three families, the number of guests attending the banquet in the Zheng clan's place was already so large that they could not even sit in the originally prepared courtyard. Zheng Dehui had to issue an emergency order to vacate all the surrounding houses to entertain uninvited guests.
Guests who come.
Normally, there wouldn't be so many people here. Because Zheng has always maintained a low-key style of conduct, her presence in the Wu family is also very low.
However, Cheng Jinyang's affairs are no longer a secret to many senior officials of the aristocratic families.
Instead of pursuing the hot Wang Cuilu, it is better to burn the cold stove of the Zheng family - this is what many people think.
As a result, hundreds of invitations were sent out, and nearly a thousand people came, turning the entire Zheng clan into chaos.
Zheng Dehui himself was in the middle of the control, and when he was extremely busy, he heard another devastating news from the maid:
Sister Xiaopei is missing!
Zheng Dehui was so shocked that he almost lost his mind. If Sister Xiaopei escaped from her marriage, it would probably become the biggest scandal among the gentry this year!
He quickly ordered all the maids to suspend their work and search for Zheng Qiupei with all their strength. He also quickly sent a team of people to hold off Cheng's team and make them delay their advance.
Cheng Jinyang was speechless when he heard the news.
It is impossible to escape from marriage. With Sister Xiaopei's character, it is impossible for her to do something that would embarrass so many people.
Still ask.
He directly activated the demonized state and connected with the girls' minds.
"Sister Xiaopei, where have you been? The patriarch is looking for you."
The girls were almost speechless when they heard Cheng Jinyang's words. Can this bride run around on her wedding day?
"Ah? I'm helping in the kitchen!" Zheng Qiupei quickly replied, "I finished my makeup in the morning and had nothing to do. I heard the maid passing by and said that the kitchen was crazy busy, so I went over to help make desserts..."
"Don't all the servants in your kitchen recognize you as a bride?" Xing Yunzhi asked strangely.
"Maybe they are helpers hired from outside." Chu Qingqing said smoothly, "They are all rough people, how can they care about so many people?"
"Hurry back and find your clan leader!" Cheng Jinyang said in a dumbfounded voice.
Zheng Qiupei could only lift up her skirt and hurriedly left the kitchen. She was soon discovered by her tribe members who were searching everywhere for her.
When she was brought to the clan leader, Zheng Dehui felt anxious again. It turned out that the makeup on her face was somewhat discolored by the heat from the kitchen steamer...
He could only wave his hand tiredly and asked the maid to take the bride down quickly to have her makeup done.
