The Zhongshan Marquis Mansion is full of joy.

The news of Pei Yue taking a concubine has already spread throughout Kyoto. Although it is not a serious and happy event like getting married, it still cannot stop the influx of congratulatory gifts.

Some people came to the door in person, some had expensive gifts, and even Mo Haoli and Wang Pingzhang sent their children to deliver a gift. There is no need to go into details about the rest. This kind of scene is not to mention the two housekeepers who were born in the village, even Deng Zai and Wang Yong

It is difficult for a trusted confidant who has been well-known in the city for many years to deal with such a situation.

Fortunately, Pei Yue had already expected this. Today, standing in front of the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion to welcome guests were Wei Rui, the new commander of the Tibetan Front Guard, and Qin Xian, the commander of the Wu Ding Guard. Although they are both young, as Pei Yue's right-hand man,

The future is limitless and no one dares to despise it.

It's just that some guests must come in person from Pei Yue.

In the outer study room, Pei Yue looked at the distinguished young man opposite and said kindly: "Brother Wang, you are well."

Wang Jiuxuan smiled and said: "How dare you call me brother in front of Marquis Pei?"

Pei Yue said disapprovingly: "Of course others can't, but Brother Wang can."

Wang Jiuxuan shook his head and said: "Pei Hou is not afraid of the censor's criticism, but that doesn't mean I can handle it calmly."

Pei Yue laughed loudly and said in wonder: "It turns out that there are existences in this world that Brother Wang is afraid of."

Wang Jiuxuan asked curiously: "Where do you start talking about this?"

Pei Yue said with emotion: "It has been nearly half a year since we parted ways in Lingzhou, but I still often think of that day in Guping Military City, when Brother Wang entered the festival hall alone to persuade Lu Min, and his expression remained unchanged even when the sword was thrown at him. This

Aren't you worthy of me calling you "Brother King" for your heroic deeds? Although I am reckless and stupid by nature, I still know how to respect a truly great husband."

"It's over, it's over."

Wang Jiuxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked curiously: "Pei Hou, I ask myself that I have never offended you, why do you have to put me on the fire?"

Pei Yue then suppressed his smile and said calmly: "Today, I am just marrying Mrs. Ru, but it is not a big deal. Wei Guogong actually let the king brother swagger through the market and bring a carriage of gifts to come to congratulate me. It really makes me wonder.

The solution."

He leaned forward slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Wang, please teach me, who put whom on the fire to roast?"

Wang Jiu

If Hou is not happy, then I can only speak shamelessly."

Pei Yue said calmly: "Brother Wang, that's what he said."

Wang Jiu

With permission, I will pass this book on privately. Therefore, I shamelessly came here today, just hoping to get closer to Pei Hou so that I can ask for a book of seven strategies in the future."

"That's it?"

"Absolutely true."

Pei Yue suddenly laughed and said: "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, you almost scared me."

Wang Jiuxuan asked in confusion: "Why did Marquis Pei say this?"

Pei Yue sighed: "I thought that the Duke of the country didn't like me, a junior, and was ready to kill him first with praise and then with a stick. Who doesn't know that his old man is the white jade pillar of Daliang, and his arms are thicker than my thighs. If that day comes.

, I’m afraid I can only retire and return home immediately to save my own life.”

Wang Jiuxuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Pei Hou, I didn't know you liked to joke so much. I had never seen it before when I was in Lingzhou."

The atmosphere then became harmonious.

After joking for a while, Wang Jiuxuan said goodbye: "Today is Marquis Pei's big day. I should have stayed here to have a glass of wedding wine, but there are some trivial matters at home. I hope Marquis Pei can forgive me."

Pei Yue said in an easy-going manner: "Brother Wang, there is no need to be too polite. I will send someone a book of Seven Strategies another day."

"Then thank you very much, Marquis Pei."

"As it should be, I dare not say thank you."

After sending Wang Jiuxuan outside the study, Pei Yue stood in the corridor with deep and distant eyes.

Deng Zai came to report: "Master, the eldest lady is here. She is drinking tea and chatting with Miss Ye in the back house."

Pei Yue nodded.

Deng Zai said again: "Master, it's getting late."

Pei Yue took a breath and said with a smile: "Get ready to go, you come with me to welcome the bride."

Deng Zai's face showed joy, and he said with rare joy: "Yes!"

The mansion was crowded today, with Qin Xian and Wei Rui greeting guests at the gate, and generals such as Xue Meng and Tang Linfen in the front yard to accompany the guests. In addition, because they had to hold a banquet to entertain the guests, many mid-level generals from the Zangfeng Guard and Wuding Guard volunteered to come to the mansion to help.

Zhang Luo, these general affairs are in charge of Meng Longfu.

Meng Longfu was careful and meticulous, and arranged everything in an orderly manner. Even Wang Yong, who is now the general manager of Xiangyun, was convinced to help him.

Pei Yue came outside the Yimen and saw a young general in the distance leading people to move tables and chairs, so he waved to him.

The young general ran over quickly, performed military salutes meticulously, and said loudly: "Master Hou!"

Pei Yue looked up and down and asked with concern: "Are you still used to it in the capital?"

The young general's name was Jia Cheng, who carried the flag for Pei Yue in the Western Region, and later transferred to Wei Rui's central army. Although he was young, he was experienced in the battlefield. He said with an excited expression: "Master Marquis, my subordinates are very accustomed to it.

"

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Is your sister here today?"

Jia Cheng said awkwardly: "My little sister pestered my subordinates last night and insisted on coming to the mansion to help Mr. Marquis, but today she went to the backyard, saying she wanted to help Mrs. Ru clean the yard, and probably went to play with Miss Peach Blossom.

Already."

Pei Yue laughed and said: "Jia Jia is only ten years old. She loves to play by nature. Moreover, she was very close to Miss Lin when she was in Lingzhou. If she wants to come to the house to talk to Miss Lin in the future, you, the elder brother, can't stop her.

With."

Jia Cheng quickly shook his head and said, "I don't dare."

"Okay, let's go do the work."

Pei Yue reached out and patted his shoulder, then turned and left.

Jia Cheng seemed particularly excited, and then worked harder and harder.

In the front yard, the wedding team was ready, just waiting for Pei Yue to give the order to set off.

In fact, this move is a bit ridiculous, because "Liang Li·Nei Principles" clearly states: Accepting a wife means marrying a wife, and accepting a favor means marrying a concubine. Taking a concubine is different from marrying a wife. The latter requires three books, six etiquette and one

A complete set of formal rituals was followed, and the status of the principal wife was recognized and protected by the court.

This is not the case with concubines. Not to mention that concubines do not have any rights recognized by law. In the past, no one has ever taken this matter as seriously as Pei Yue.

The wedding ceremony, also known as the wedding ceremony, is the last procedure among the six rites. That is, the man arrives at the woman's house before noon, and after completing a series of procedures, he takes his wife back in a sedan chair. This is the completion of the wedding ceremony.

It's just that there is no restriction from Pei Yue, and Pei Ning, the only sister he recognizes, relies on him in everything, and Lin Shuyue only has a cousin who doesn't dare to talk, so even if he makes some nonsense, no one has ever stood up to accuse him.

exhortation.

Pei Yue was about to mount his horse and lead the wedding team to set off, when he suddenly saw Wei Rui coming in a hurry with a solemn face.

Wei Rui walked up to him and said hurriedly: "Master Hou, a gentleman came outside the mansion and asked the master to go out to meet him. The general and Commander Qin asked him to come into the mansion and sit down for a while, but he refused."

Pei Yue frowned slightly and said, "Who?"

Wei Rui replied: "Master Jian Rongjian, the supervisor of Shitan Temple."
