Chapter 924 923 [The auspicious time has arrived]

"Congratulations to Pei Hou! Congratulations to Pei Hou!"

"I wish Marquis Pei and his two ladies to grow old together and have a son soon!"

"Marquis Pei, today a flower road amazed Kyoto, and this grand fireworks ceremony is really enviable. I just don't know where the merchant made these fireworks. Can you introduce them to me?"

"Yes, the quality of these fireworks is really good. They are much better than those on the market."

After sending the two brides into the inner house, Pei Yue went to the main hall of the Hou Mansion. Facing the guests who were swarming up and congratulating each other, he greeted them calmly and felt very satisfied at the same time.

Although the two fireworks shows on New Year's Eve and today were to please Ye Qi, Pei Yue had another intention. These fireworks were jointly produced by several major merchants in the capital, and he started to prepare them after returning to Beijing.

At the same time, he pretended to inadvertently give a hint to the craftsmen and asked them to develop more efficient materials.

The effect was better than he imagined, and after the officials and the people got used to the sound of these fireworks, they would definitely not cause riots due to some accidents in the future.

The main hall was crowded, but there was no disorderly scene, because in addition to Pei Yue himself, all his capable generals were here today to help him greet the distinguished guests who came to congratulate him. Now Qin Xian, Wei Rui and Tang

These people in Linfen have become young backbones in the army. They are well-known in the official circles of the capital, and everyone can play their own role.

There were a lot of guests coming today, not only the military honors, but also the civil servants.

No matter how these people feel about Pei Yue, at least they are not clumsy in etiquette at the moment, and some of them may not be thinking of laughing. Because until now, when the sun sets and the ceremony is about to be held, the palace is still

No reward was sent.

After all, His Majesty is still the ruthless emperor...

As time goes by, many people can't help but have similar thoughts.

I still remember that at the beginning of this year, after the Fourth Prince's rebellion case was over, His Majesty had such great trust in Pei Yue that he not only handed over all the powers, but even made him responsible for the screening and interrogation of all the officials involved in the case. It can be said that the power of life and death rests in the hands of Pei Yue alone.

.If Pei Yue had not sent an envoy to the Southern Zhou Dynasty, had not seen through the Southern Dynasty's conspiracy, and had not personally led the troops to defeat Fang Xie Xiao without fear of life and death, how could he have ended up in this situation?

It is true that his great achievements shocked the master, and it was possible that the situation was too great to control. However, the root cause of all this was Pei Yue's loyalty to the country, which inevitably made people feel cold and desolate.

At this moment, a guest's voice sounded outside the main hall door.

"The Minister of Rites, Mr. Sheng Sheng, has arrived!"

The appearance of Sheng Duanming surprised some powerful people. You must know that this great scholar was a representative of the elite civil servants. In the past, not only did he attend the weddings and funerals of Wu Xun's relatives, but he rarely even gave gifts.

Pei Yue greeted him with a smile.

"Marquis Pei, my family is poor and not as wealthy as other families. I can only shamelessly send a message as a congratulatory gift to express my feelings. Please forgive me."

When had the dignitaries in the hall seen Sheng Duanming be so polite?

Pei Yue said respectfully: "Sir, please don't do this. You are willing to deign to condescend to be the envoy for this junior. It is my honor."

Sheng Duanming twisted his beard and said with a smile: "As long as Marquis Pei doesn't dislike it, I will be happy."

As soon as this sentence came out, many people couldn't help but change their minds slightly.

What kind of status is Sheng Duanming? Even though he is only the minister of the Ministry of Rites, his status in the literary world is even higher than that of the Minister of Rites, and he has a reputation that has lasted for thirty years. Even the wedding ceremony of the eldest prince is said to be more expensive.

Sheng Duanming came to serve as the wedding attendant. How could the standards of Pei Yue's wedding be compared with the prince's gift?

Even the person watching the ceremony is a great scholar like Sheng Duanming. What will be the identity of the officiant who will preside over the ceremony?

The three brothers of the Gu family looked at each other and smiled in surprise. Their brother-in-law was very effective.

Fortunately, her parents were still worried these days, fearing that Pei Yue would be wronged on the big day. Mrs. Zhao even wanted to rush to replace Pei Rong, so as not to leave any regrets because Pei Yue lacked the high hall to host the ceremony.

Now it seems that Pei Yue has already made arrangements well.

Sure enough, just as Sheng Duanming sat down, Zhike's voice sounded again, and this time it became louder and more exciting.

"Master Mo, the leader from the left side of Daliang Political Hall, has arrived!"

The whole hall was shocked, and everyone stood up at the same time.

Mo Haoli, a veteran of the Four Dynasties!

No wonder that with his status as Sheng Duanming, he could only serve as a witness rather than a wedding officiant, and many dignitaries even expressed feelings of envy and jealousy. You must know that since his sixtieth year, except for banquets in the palace, Mo Haoli has no longer appeared.

Participate in the receptions and send-offs. Especially when he suffered a serious illness at the beginning of this year, he stayed in the mansion to recuperate for nearly a year. He never left the house or left the house. All the etiquette and receptions were done by his family members.

Among the crowd, Dingjunhou Luo Huanzhang, the commander of the South Camp of the Beijing Army, said softly: "Marquis Pei is so proud that he can even invite the governor Mo."

Luo Kedi stood beside him and smiled proudly: "The Marquis behaves uprightly and never hides his loyalty to the country. Mr. Mo naturally appreciates him. It's ridiculous that some idiots think that Pei

If the trash like Rong doesn't come, there will be no one to help the Marquis host the ceremony, and no one will think about Pei Rong's qualifications to step into the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion today, let alone how all the Marquis's efforts over the years will be in vain."

Luo Huanzhang smiled calmly, looking at the awe of Pei Yue on his son's face, a deep look of worry floated in his eyes.

Pei Yue stepped forward quickly, looked at the old man who was thin but still energetic, and saluted, "I would like to thank you for taking the time to come."

Mo Haoli looked at him kindly and said with a smile: "Today is your special day. I didn't bring any valuable gifts. I only have this old face to officiate your wedding. I hope you won't be offended."

Pei Yue said gratefully: "The elder said this to offend the younger generation. The younger generation did not dare to bother the elder at first, but thinking that today is a major event for getting married and starting a business, if the elder can be invited to preside over it, the younger generation and his wife will be protected by the elders.

, so I invite you shamelessly."

Hearing what he said so sincerely, Mo Haoli nodded and said: "It's really not easy for you, kid. Let's go, it's getting late, it's time to pay homage."

Pei Yue supported Mo Haoli and walked to the north. All the nobles saluted Mo Haoli along the way.

They all know the relationship between Pei Yue and the Pei family of Dingguo Prefecture. It was expected that Pei Rong was not seen at the banquet today. They originally thought that Pei Yue would directly perform the ceremony, but Mo Haoli's appearance instantly made the wedding extremely complicated.

solemn.

Not long after, several Mrs. Quanfu appeared in the main hall supporting the two brides. Pei Yue stood between them, looking at Mo Haoli who took the place of worship with a happy face.

The old man first looked at Gu Zhen, who looked like a flower shy of the moon, and said gently: "When the peach is born, its leaves are like Zhen Zhen. When my son returns home, it will be a good time for his family."

Gu Zhen said politely: "Little girl, I would like to thank the Lord in charge for your blessing."

Mo Haoli looked at Ye Qi, who was full of nobility, and his expression became more friendly. He smiled and said: "When the peach is young, its flowers are shining brightly. When the son returns, it will be suitable for his family."

Ye Qi naturally understood the meaning of this sentence and bowed slightly to express his thanks.

Pei Yue couldn't help but feel excited. He couldn't help but think of his parents in his previous life, hoping that they would be safe and happy.

This was also the real reason why he didn't ask Pei Rong to come here. Mo Haoli's identity and status were enough to host this wedding. Coupled with the fragrance of the sea of ​​flowers and the roar of the salute, he thought it was worthy of Gu Zhen and Ye Qi's deep love for him.

Mo Haoli looked at Pei Yue. There were friendly smiles in the eyes of the old man and the young man, and they instantly understood each other's thoughts.

The whole hall of guests watched the ceremony quietly. No matter what they were thinking, everyone had a sincere smile on their face at this moment.

Sheng Duanming, the minister of etiquette, was the envoy to watch the ceremony. When he saw this, he said loudly: "The auspicious time has come, the newlyweds are here to pay their respects!"

Pei Yue held both ends of the red rope and turned around with Ye Qi and Gu Zhen to face the sky and the earth. Just as he was about to salute, a high-pitched voice sounded outside the main hall.

"Your Majesty is here!"

The grand ceremony was about to take place, and when the atmosphere was at its highest, Emperor Kaiping, dressed in ordinary clothes, and his queen Chen arrived quietly.

The whole hall fell silent, and then the sound of shouting "Long Live the Mountain" sounded one after another.

Pei Yue watched blankly as Emperor Kaiping walked towards him, until he walked up to him.

Emperor Kaiping looked at his young courtier, his eyes seemed to penetrate time and years.

The ministers stood in awe, and even Mo Haoli stood up.

Pei Yue still stood quietly, seemingly calmed by the emperor's sudden appearance.

However, both the monarch and the minister knew in their hearts that after experiencing trust, suspicion, cooperation and struggle in the past, although the cracks had long existed, they were the monarch and the minister who cooperated most tacitly together after all.

The past cannot be pursued...

Emperor Kaiping smiled and said leisurely: "I'm here to attend this wedding ceremony. Is it possible that you don't welcome me?"

Pei Yue sighed softly in his heart and saluted: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness."
