After the worship service, Xipo helped Shi Ningyue into the bridal chamber in the back house, while Fang Zian greeted the guests and friends in the front yard.

Originally, only a few dozen wedding invitations were sent out. Fang Zian didn't know many prominent people in Lin'an. Most of them were just familiar faces, so it was a bit of a thought whether to send out the wedding invitations. It was embarrassing for people not to come after sending them out, and they did.

They wanted to send congratulatory gifts, so Fang Zian decided to only send wedding invitations to people he knew well. Officials in the DPRK and Central Government sent out more than a dozen copies, and the rest were some low-level officials and common people. Even the old neighbors in Sanyuanfang also sent out a few.

share.

However, what Fang Zian didn't expect was that there was an endless stream of people coming to congratulate him. Some people didn't even know Fang Zian himself, and he had to introduce himself to know who he was. In fact, Fang Zian's mission to the Kingdom of Jin was

It has long been secretly circulated in the city that the big mouths in the fire army yamen would miss this opportunity to show off, so Fang Zian instigated civil strife in the Jin Kingdom and even defeated the Jin soldiers in Fenglong Mountain Dazhai in the Taihang Mountains.

It was spread among the common people. If Fang Zian had not strictly prohibited them from saying some confidential things, I am afraid that Zhao Gang and Lei Hu, who knew the inside story, would have exposed the secret that Qin Hui was a spy of the Jin Kingdom.

Many people came with admiration and gratitude for Fang Zian, and the people who had been rescued by the fire army office came to congratulate him with gongs and drums after hearing about it. They were not here to eat or drink, but to give to Fang Zian.

Zian's wedding was even more lively. After arriving, he didn't even come in. After shouting some auspicious words such as "A happy marriage will bring a son soon", he put on the gongs and drums and started dancing lions and dragons. Now it will be fun.

There was a lot of excitement in front of Fang Zian's house. There were more and more people watching the excitement, and it even attracted smart merchants and hawkers to sell things, making it look like a temple fair.

Fang Zian ordered people to invite them in, but they refused to come in, so he had to order people to bring candies and snacks and seal some money and red envelopes to them, thinking that he was inviting them to liven up the atmosphere.

Many courtiers also came. Although Fang Zian was not familiar with these courtiers, everyone knew about Fang Zian. Putting aside Shi Hao's identity, Fang Zian was the person who supervised the crown prince from the beginning. This was no secret.

Although Fang Zian got the position of Minister of Household Affairs, it was not as easy as everyone imagined, but there was no obvious sign that there was any conflict between the prince and Fang Zian. What is known to everyone is that Fang Zian took the initiative to ask

Go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to make money for the imperial court. Not to mention that everyone knows about Fang Zian's instigation of civil strife in the Jin Kingdom. A small imperial envoy who went to the tiger and wolf land of the Jin Kingdom already had a narrow escape. Not only did he come back alive

He also made the Kingdom of Jin a mess. This bravery alone is enough to be admired and appreciated.

Fang Zian was busy kowtowing in front of the mansion. The officials all gave generous gifts. The prominent officials started with fifty taels of congratulations, and those from well-off families received hundreds of taels. The old man who registered the gifts at the door

Huang smiled from ear to ear, and kept chanting, "The gift of gold", and thought to himself: There will be a lot of money in the account of the mansion. Mr. Fang has been spending money like water these days, and he spent thousands of taels of silver on the wedding.

, the account is almost empty. It can be regarded as replenished.

"Brother Fang, congratulations, congratulations. Xiaoxiang is here to congratulate you on your wedding today. I don't have much money or anything. What I sent is a few tubes of wolf hair, which are quite expensive, for Brother Fang to write on weekdays." The dark-faced Fang Xiaoxiang

Here we are, with a row of brushes of different sizes and a delicate pen holder.

.He is on par with Shi Haoyou, they are both nerds.

Fang Zian smiled and said: "It would be great if the Number One Scholar is here, what else should I give you as a gift?"

Fang Xiaoxiang said with a smile: "Getting married is also a small achievement. It is the so-called wedding night when you are named on the gold list. Congratulations."

Fang Zian thanked him repeatedly and ordered someone to lead him into the house. When he turned around, he saw a man coming to the door and was stunned.

"What are you doing here? You have nothing to do with me here. Are you here to cause trouble when Zian is getting married?" Qian Kang, who was standing by to greet the guests, frowned and shouted.

The person who came was none other than Zhao Changlin. Zhao Changlin looked a little embarrassed and said with his hands crossed: "Zi'an is getting married, so I naturally want to come to congratulate you. Anyway, I have a friendship with Zi'an."

Qian Kang said angrily: "Friends are nothing. You just saw Qin Hui fall, and then you turned around and flattered him. You are a wallflower, and the wind blows you both ways. I didn't know why I misjudged you at the beginning, but I didn't know you were like this." people."

Zhao Changlin sighed and said: "Brother Qian, Changlin has been transferred to the capital to work in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I have never been in cahoots with Qin Hui. I just want a better life, and I have no intention of harming anyone."

Fang Zian didn't want to talk to this person anymore. He knew that Zhao Changlin had come to the capital to serve as an official. He had already become a disciple of Tang Situi. Fang Zian knew all these things.

"Zhao Changlin, today is my happy day, and I don't want to say anything unpleasant. I made it very clear to you that day in Chaoxian County. You and I have different paths. We are not the same people. We have already cut off our robes and severed our righteousness. There is no longer any affection from the past. Naturally, I welcome you, just like so many people I don’t know. When they come to congratulate me on my wedding, I will treat them with courtesy. There is no reason for our friendship anymore. You can come and have a drink, but I hope you won't mention anything about the past from now on. It won't bring you any benefits if you say those things." Fang Zian said in a deep voice.

Zhao Changlin frowned and said: "Well, since you said that, I am not interested. Just pretend that I have never been here. It is not respectful for you to accept the gift, but stop drinking the wine."

Zhao Changlin placed the gift wrapped in red cloth on the table and turned to leave. Qian Kang grabbed the package and threw it out, cursing: "Whoever wants your dirty things, take it away, don't look like a fly in front of our eyes." Flying around is very annoying."

The package fell to the ground, and several silver ingots rolled on the ground. Zhao Changlin, with a pale face, knelt down to pack it up, put it in his arms, and walked away quickly.

After the unpleasant episode, a wave of great joy ushered in. The prominent figures in the court arrived one after another as if they had made an appointment. Yang Cunzhong came, Tang Si retired, and even the newly appointed Privy Councilor Zhang Jun also came. The famous people came one after another, which surprised all the people watching the excitement. This Fang Zian must be so famous that all these people came to congratulate him.

However, an even greater climax was coming later. Just as the people were discussing the arrival of these prime ministers, ministers, and other important figures, a clear shout came from the entrance of the alley.

"The Emperor has arrived! The Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom has arrived!"

"Ah...the emperor is here." The people were stunned, even the emperor and the prince came. This was completely unexpected.

The people and officials knelt on the ground and shouted long live to welcome the arrival of Zhao Gou and Zhao Shen. Zhao Gou was sitting in an imperial chariot, and Zhao Shen was riding a white horse.

Escorted by a large group of Imperial Guards, they came in force.

"I'm here to attend Fang Aiqing's wedding. You don't need to be formal. Fang Aiqing is the biggest today. I don't want to overwhelm the guest. I'm not here to disturb the situation." Zhao Gou said with a smile.

Everyone stood up one after another. Zhao Gou walked to the door of the mansion, and Fang Zian bowed his hands in salute.

"Congratulations, Fang Aiqing, I'm here to wish you a happy wedding today." Zhao Gou cupped his fists and smiled.

Fang Zian said: "How dare you bother the emperor to come here? I am so frightened."

Zhao Gou smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? I promised to come to your wedding. You postponed the wedding in order to go to the Kingdom of Jin, and I promised to compensate you. I always keep my word, so naturally I came today." Zhao Shen, take out my gift."

Zhao Shen on the side quickly agreed and ordered someone to bring the gift, but it was a plaque.

"Master Fang, this is a plaque handwritten and framed by the Emperor himself, given to you as a congratulatory gift." Zhao Shen said with a smile.

Fang Zian said hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift of calligraphy."

Zhao Gou said: "What kind of calligraphy is not called calligraphy? Open it and take a look."

The red cloth was opened, and everyone's eyes lit up. It was no ordinary plaque, it was a plaque framed with jade. Just the long jade stones around it were worth a lot, not to mention that the gold on the red background was handwritten by the emperor. of.

"The harp and harp are singing in harmony!" Zhao Gou said with a smile: "I wish Fang Aiqing and his bride a happy marriage for a hundred years. I like it best when everyone in the world is happy, and I feel comfortable."

Everyone admired and applauded. Zhao Gou's handwriting is indeed good, smooth and regular, and has everyone's style. It is just a little softer, more like a woman's handwriting enlarged in hairpin regular script. Maybe This is because the words are just like the person. There is atmosphere, but it is also too conservative and precise.

"You go on to greet the guests while I go in for the wedding banquet." Zhao Gou waved his hand and smiled as he entered the courtyard without Fang Zian following him, and went into the hall on his own.

Zhao Shen, who was following behind, pulled Fang Zian and said, "Zian, I don't have anything to give you on your wedding day. This jade pendant has been with me for many years, so I gave it to you as a gift. Although it is not a precious thing, I still followed it. This thing has been mine for many years. This thing can also be regarded as a token. If you need me to help you in the future, bring this jade pendant and I will promise you anything."

Fang Zian quickly waved his hand and said: "How to make it happen? A gentleman will not take away others' love."

Zhao Shen said: "You can take it if you are told to take it. If you are polite to me, you are alienated from me. I feel ashamed of you. If you take this jade pendant, I will feel more at ease."

Fang Zian knew that this jade pendant was not a jade pendant, but something like a gold medal for immunity from death that Zhao Shen gave him. He said that when he came to him with this jade pendant in the future, he would agree to all his requests. This was the gold medal for immunity from death. I mean. This gift is really valuable. Although Fang Zian thinks he has no need for it, it is hard to refuse. Maybe Zhao Shen really thinks so in his heart.
