Wang Yan kept his promise and came to Xuchang to attend Shao Xun's wedding.
Neither his son Wang Xuan nor his daughters Wang Jingfeng and Wang Huifeng came.
Wang Xuan was at home to pay homage and entertain guests. Wang Huifeng was not interested, but Wang Jingfeng lost his guard.
As Taiwei, he sat with Cao Fu.
There are also Xun Fan, Liu Tun, Zheng Yu, Pei Kang, Yang Jiezhi, Lu Zhi and others nearby - good guys, the key figures from the court and the local government are all here. I'm afraid even the emperor's banquet is not like this.
together.
At this time, the wedding was already halfway through, and everyone was slightly drunk.
Wang Yan raised his eyes and saw a group of young people in their twenties in the southeast corner of the courtyard. They were sitting on their knees behind the desk, with their backs straight, and they drank all the wine in one gulp. They were very generous.
He knew that they were all generals of the Silver Spear Army, relatively high-level ones.
Once upon a time, these types of military strategists were basically unpopular. But today, in the sixth year of Yongjia, they have gradually emerged and become a force that cannot be ignored.
Actually it's not surprising.
Their "Shao Shi", the largest military strategist in Henan, has married the daughter of a wealthy Yingchuan family. This fact in itself announces the rise of the military strategist's power.
"All the talents have arrived." Wang Yan laughed with a complicated mood and said, "Even from places as far away as Xuzhou, there are scholars coming to congratulate you."
Xun Fan smiled and said: "Mr. Chen was originally from Xuzhou, he is just ordinary."
Except for the Donghai Wang family, none of the people who came here were big families.
For example, the Liu family in Pengcheng, the Mi family in Donghai, the Xiao family in Lanling, the He family in Donghai, etc. are all small and inconspicuous families in the local area.
In fact, even the local powerful people in Xuzhou came over.
The Tu tribe from Xuzhou who arrived just now sent his eldest son to congratulate him even though he was not invited. He put down the gift and left, eager to follow him.
After Wang Yan put down the wine bowl, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Jing Fengming and Mr. Chen came back from Gaoping in the same car, but nothing happened.
One step is slow, each step is slow.
A moment of hesitation and a missed opportunity.
When he finally decided to give up his face and marry his daughter to Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen reached a new level.
When he hesitated for a long time and decided to lower his standards and give up some face, Mr. Chen seemed to have no interest anymore.
After thinking about it, it always comes down to face.
Wang Yan picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
However, when he thought of his daughter Huifeng's cold eyes, he hesitated.
That’s it! Wang Yan sighed.
Pei Kang glanced at Wang Yan and felt slightly comforted.
What's this old guy's idea, do you think I don't know? Seeing his deflated look, Pei Kang was very proud.
But he soon thought of his daughter's situation, and his mood was not so good.
You have no name, no status, and a big belly. What do you think? At the worst, you have to find a wife and a wife. The child born in this way will still be your legitimate son or daughter.
After thinking about it, he and Wang Yan had a drink together and drank it each.
In the temporary accounting room, Hu Wufuzhi looked at the numbers on the gift list of various colors of silk and satin, jewelry, gold and silver utensils, horses and jade, his mouth opened wide and he could not close it for a long time.
After picking up the wine bowl and taking a sip, he calmed down.
Marrying a wife is actually an excellent way to make money!
If Mr. Chen had married a few more wives, wouldn't he have instantly become the richest man in the world like Shi Chong?
Got rich, really got rich.
He put down the wine bowl, pushed open the window on the back wall, and looked at the cars parked there, his eyes gleaming.
How much wine can I buy? I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish it until I die! I even brought my son to drink with me and I still can’t finish it!
Mr. Chen was really powerful in the Central Plains, and there were too many people who fawned over him.
You may not have noticed it before, but on your wedding day, even if you are not invited, many people don't mind giving you a gift to create a good relationship.
After sighing with emotion, he sat back in front of the desk and continued to keep accounts.
At this time, the wedding was coming to an end, and Cai Cheng hurried in, handed him a new gift list, and asked him to write it down.
Hu Wufuzhi picked it up and looked at it, and was dumbfounded.
It was actually a gift sent by Empress Liang: Purple Ru (hú) Ru, Guangsha embroidered Ru Ru, Colorful Cup Wenqi Quilt, Jiangshi Cup Wenqi Quilt, Purple Bi Sha Pattern Embroidered Tassel Double Skirt, Jasper Bottle...
There are dozens of pieces in total, most of which are used in the palace.
I heard that Empress Liang and the daughter of the Yu family had known each other since childhood and had a close relationship. It seems right.
It's just that - this was sent secretly to avoid the emperor, right? Hu Wufu laughed evilly and took another sip of wine.
The guests outside had gradually left the table and dispersed, and the servants and soldiers began to clear the table.
Hu Wufuzhi sat in the accounting room with his legs crossed. He suddenly burst into laughter and said, "When I saw Mr. Chen plowing in the fields, I knew he would be today. How magnificent!"
After laughing, he picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
A vigorous shogunate and a growing force can make people feel excited and surging.
Much more energy!

Yu Wenjun sat nervously in the wedding room, looking up from time to time outside.
Her mood was a little tangled, she couldn't wait to see her husband, but she was also a little scared.
In the end, only shyness and sweetness remain.
From today on, she is a married woman.
The four concubines were also in the room, each busy with their own business.
Some people are warming wine and cutting meat, some are making beds, some are preparing colorful knots, and some are preparing utensils.
After a while, footsteps sounded.
Everyone became nervous, and Yu Wenjun was so frightened that he sat upright.
Shao Xun stood at the door, saw his wife at a glance, smiled slightly, and walked in.
"Husband...husband, please share a cell." Yu Wenjun stood up and saluted, and said nervously.
"Okay." Shao Xun stepped forward, took her hand, and comforted her: "We have a lifetime to live, so don't be nervous."
Two more red clouds floated on Yu Wenjun's face, he gently broke away his hand and sat to the west.
Shao Xun sat on the east side.
Xunshi gently cut the meat and placed it between the two of them.
The two of them held chopsticks respectively, picked up the pieces of meat, and put them into their mouths to taste.
This is called "eating together", which refers to the newlyweds eating a plate of meat together. It is also the first meal they eat together after getting married, which means they will start living together.
Shao Xun looked at his newlywed wife while eating.
Yu Wenjun seemed to feel his gaze, his face became redder and redder, and he even trembled slightly.
The plate of meat was finished quickly.
Mrs. Guanqiu brought a jar of wine, and Xiao Yu brought two ladles tied with colorful knots and handed them to their hands respectively.
This is called the "Jǐn" ceremony, in which the newlyweds drink each other a ladle of wine, also called a cup of wine.
"庺" means wine vessel, which is a gourd made from the same gourd cut in half.
The husband and wife drink Hexin wine together, which symbolizes that the husband and wife become one and will always be together. Because the gourd melon is a bit bitter, it also means that the couple will share the joys and sorrows in their future lives.
In addition, there is a saying in "Book of Rites: Evening Ceremony" that "Yìn" is the saying.
鳳 means gargling. Rinsing means cleaning the mouth and making it safe for eating.
This ladle of wine can also be used to rinse your mouth after eating meat.
After the two of them finished drinking, Shao Xun was still fine, but Yu Wenjun was already a little dizzy.
Shao Xun put down the ladle and stepped forward to hug her.
Yu Wenjun hasn't fully grown yet, and is only as tall as his shoulders.
Shao Xun whispered in her ear: "After ten years of waiting, I finally brought my wife home."
Yu Wenjun buried his face in his arms and held his waist tightly.
She only felt that her life was so perfect and so happy.
Marrying a heroic figure whom she has known since she was a child and whom she admires greatly, and who has admired her for a long time and has longed to marry her home, is there anything more perfect than this?
She felt drunk, and not just because of the alcohol.
From now on, she will be the mistress of this family. She must serve her elders well, take care of the family business, and support her husband and children.
Concubine Yin glanced at the two of them secretly and threw the ladle from which they had just drank under the couch. One of them happened to be facing up and the other was facing down. This was considered auspicious.
The sound startled the two people hugging each other.
Mrs. Xun walked to Yu Wenjun and whispered something.
Yu Wenjun's face immediately turned red.
Mrs. Guanqiu also came over and together with Mrs. Xun undressed Yu Wenjun.
Yu Wenjun felt that her whole body was extremely stiff, and she mechanically allowed the two concubines to take off her clothes one by one.
Xiao Yu started to make the bed.
Mrs. Yin came over with a blushing face and undressed Shao Xun.
Taking off and taking off her clothes, this beautiful girl's hands began to shake and she didn't dare to look at her eyes.
After taking off his clothes, Yu Wenjun felt that his whole body was weak and he was about to collapse.
Shao Xun gently picked her up and climbed onto the couch.
The four concubines all retreated and moved into the room next door.
"Husband..." Yu Wenjun was lying on the couch, looking at Shao Xun who was leaning down gently, and shouted in a tone with a hint of crying.
Shao Xun felt that his wife was too nervous, so he gently stroked her face and said in her ear: "I used to think that I was not very lucky. There were always people trying to harm me, and there were always accidents during battles. Later I found out,
All my luck is spent on marrying you, Wenjun."
Yu Wenjun chuckled lightly and said, "Are you lying to me?"
"no."
"If you lied to me——"
"how?"
"I'll be sad."
"No." Shao Xun blew into her ear and whispered.
Yu Wenjun was a little confused.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and he gripped the towel tightly with both hands, so hard that his nails almost broke.
Tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
She didn't know why she shed tears, as if she had lost something precious.
