Luo Youdu looked at the guests in front of him who were enjoying the wedding banquet. His face was filled with a happy wedding smile, but his eyes looked like he was on a battlefield.
The higher the status, the more attention is paid to subtle etiquette.
The bigger the scene, the easier it is to make mistakes, so you need to be more cautious.
Everything from the seating arrangement to the order in which you speak can offend people.
Therefore, communication is a very profound knowledge.
This can also be seen from the layout of the wine tables in this hall.
There is a main table in the middle, and then the left and right are arranged outwards in civil and military roles.
The first table was naturally composed of the prime ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty such as Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu, as well as military ministers of Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, and Xiang Xun.
Fan Zhi is the oldest among the people at this table, and he was the prime minister during the Guo Wei period. He served as prime minister for several years after the founding of the Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, Luo Youdu was the first to respect him: "Mr. Fan, thank you for the compliment. In fact, if Your Majesty had not personally said that he would be the witness, the first witness I would have thought of would be your husband, but I don't know if your husband is willing."
Fan Zhi felt very proud and said: "I am deeply honored, but I don't dare to compete with Your Majesty."
If you respect civil servants, you should naturally respect military officials.
Of course it was Li Chongjin.
"Come on, let's have a drink with Mr. Li. You need to drink two cups. One cup is not enough."
Li Chongjin said in surprise: "How do you say this? Could it be that you regard me as an alcoholic?"
What he said has some connotation to Zhang Yongde. Zhang Yongde is a big drunkard. He never forgets to drink during the war.
Li Chongjin was only in his early forties. According to the "Book of Rites", he was considered old when he was over seventy.
But how many ancient people could live to be seventy?
Therefore, in life, you can call yourself an old man after the age of thirty-six.
Luo Youdu said: "Of course not, I'm just grateful in my heart, so I have to drink two cups."
"The first cup, let me show you my face and attend your wedding."
He drank the wine in one gulp.
Immediately, servants filled each other's cups.
"The second cup is to thank the Prime Minister for his help in the battle of Huainan. The most difficult and important battle in Huainan was Shouzhou. It was the Prime Minister and a group of brothers who besieged Shouzhou and trapped the first general of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
He died in Shouzhou City. It is precisely because of the sacrifice of the ambassador that we have the opportunity to perform."
Li Chongjin had no objection to Luo Youdu's first achievement, but when he heard what he said, he was very happy.
Then there is Zhang Yongde, the same as Li Chongjin.
Luo Youdu also toasted Zhang Yongde with two glasses of wine.
One cup is for attending the wedding, and the other cup is for guarding Xia Cai Pontoon Bridge.
In the Battle of Huainan, Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde did not achieve much success.
But the two of them did the hardest and most tiring work.
One is gnawing hard at Shouzhou, and the other is guarding Xiacai Floating Bridge, the only food route in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The task is the most important and the most difficult.
Most people cannot see the merit.
Especially Zhang Yongde, who only defended a pontoon bridge and almost lost it. Lin Renzhao took advantage of the naval force and forced him to fight while cursing his mother.
On this occasion, Luo Youdu offered him two glasses of wine, and he had to drink it.
However, Zhang Yongde also said something extra: "Now the world is dominated by you young people. As you get older, your teeth are not good. I really envy someone. I have been chewing for a year and haven't damaged any of my good teeth."
Luo Youdu did not answer the call.
It is generally accepted that Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde are at odds.
Do you really think Guo Rong doesn’t know?
How could he not know, he just let it go?
However, Guo Rong did not dare to go too far, fearing that Li Chongjin, who held the Guards and Military Division, and Zhang Yongde, who held the Palace Front Division, would really fight.
Discord is a good thing, but fighting will ruin national affairs.
Therefore, after the Imperial Guards Division and the Palace Front Division, there is an Imperial Camp Division.
On the one hand, the existence of the Imperial Camp Division is to enhance the strength of the Forbidden Army and weaken the power of the Jiedushi, and on the other hand, it is to suppress the Guards and Military Division and the Palace Front Division.
As for Luo Youdu, the third child who controls the actual power of the military, Guo Rong guessed a thing or two even though he didn't say it clearly.
Just three words and thin mud.
We can't let Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde get into a fight, let alone let them reconcile in vain.
In this way, Luo Youdu chatted with everyone at every table.
Naturally, this also includes the brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi.
It is natural to chat more with Zhao Kuangyin. Although the two have a small distance, Zhao Kuangyin is now the second-in-command of the Dianqian Division, the Jiedu Envoy of the Yicheng Army, and the Chief Inspector of the School.
level.
But after talking more with Zhao Guangyi, he attracted a little more attention.
Rumors that Luo Youdu was optimistic about Zhao Kuangyi also spread like wildfire.
Zhao Kuangyi was most distressed. He had a certain amount of hatred towards Luo Youdu in his heart, but he felt flattered by his favor.
contradiction!
Luo Youdu did not toast to one person alone, but to people with status and connections at the first few tables. The further back he went, the more quickly the toasts were made.
There were more than three hundred guests, and Luo Youdu never called anyone by name by mistake from beginning to end. He could say a word or two to everyone, fully displaying the communication skills he had developed in his previous life.
It took more than half an hour to complete this circle, and many guests had already left.
Luo Youdu came to Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin's table and wolfed down the remaining food.
He only focused on toasting and drinking, and didn't eat a few bites of the food. Fortunately, the wine in this era was yellow rice wine that nourished the stomach, and it was well-cooked.
If liquor were served at banquets in future generations, such behavior would have to result in hospitalization and a suspension.
Luo Youdu looked at Han Lingkun who had already eaten and drank enough, and Shi Shouxin asked: "You still want to help clean up?"
Han Lingkun said thiefly: "Of course there are people who can do this, why do we need to do it?"
Shi Shouxin laughed maliciously from the side.
Luo Youdu realized something: "Do you want to make trouble in the wedding ceremony?"
Shi Shouxin said in a rare formal tone: "This has been the custom since ancient times. How can it be that Brother Luo still doesn't give it to me?"
Luo Youdu was happy and said with a smile: "Here! Of course you give it! Let's go, I will take you there!"
He poured himself a glass of wine, gargled his mouth, wiped away the oil on his mouth, and led Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, and those who were watching the fun: Cao Bin, Pan Mei, Zhang Qiong, Chang Side, Kou Xiang, Song
Qi and other close friends and subordinates.
Passed through the hall and came to the master bedroom.
Just as Luo Youdu thought, eighteen maids in red were standing in formation outside the house.
They carry scimitars at their waists and are as well-trained as wood carvings.
Luo Youdu made a gesture of invitation.
Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin were instantly frightened.
Han Lingkun said: "Brother Gao, you are the best at fighting here, how about you come up?"
Gao Huaide was certainly not stupid and said: "I drank too much today, so I'd better go back and rest."
"I come!"
Huyanzan appeared out of nowhere and jumped in front of everyone.
Luo Youdu was so angry that he kicked him on the butt and said: "Go away, I will send you back to Zizhou if there is any further trouble."
"Oh!" Hu Yanzan resigned aggrievedly.
Ever since I learned that Hu Yanzan was afraid of his father, Hu Yancong, and was unwilling to return to Zizhou.
Luo Youdu immediately grasped the key to controlling Hu Yanzan, an idiot, and felt infinitely more comfortable.
Seeing that everyone was scared, Luo Youdu said happily: "Everyone, please help yourself, I'll go first!"
He went to the wedding parlor.
Suddenly, the maids on the left and right shouted in unison: "I've seen my uncle!"
Luo Youdu took a small step back in fright, ignored a few chuckles behind him, and pushed the door open.
Fu Qing'er was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, and the experienced wet nurse had already handed over the scale.
Pick the hijab on the scale, and you will be satisfied.
Luo Youdu lifted Fu Qing'er's red headscarf.
Fu Qing'er has always given Luo Youdu the impression of having a heroic appearance. She has never been seen wearing a headdress or heavy makeup during the few times we met. She just tied up her long hair with a simple ribbon, forming a high sideburn that fell naturally.
But now her hair is covered with flower hairpins, her hair is in the trendy sideburns, and she wears gorgeous makeup, which immediately gives Luo Youdu a different feeling.
Underneath her heroic appearance, she is naturally delicate and has a radiant appearance.
Luo Youdu felt a little disappointed and fell in love at first sight again.
Fu Qing'er was also a little nervous, but she was not timid. Instead, she boldly met Luo Youdu's gaze. Seeing the surprise in his eyes, she secretly rejoiced.
Seeing that Luo Youdu kept looking at him infatuatedly, Fu Qing'er was a woman after all. She was defeated and lowered her eyes, saying: "What are you looking at?"
Luo Youdu said with a smile: "Of course I am looking at my wife. My wife is so beautiful. I wish I could stop time and keep looking at her like this for the rest of my life."
Although Fu Qing'er is a "big girl" in her mid-20s, she is an over-age leftover girl from ancient times who has never experienced any dangers in the world. How can she bear such love words? Her pretty face is about to bleed, and she is a little at a loss.
The nanny on the side couldn't stand it any longer, and secretly sighed in her heart: This lady is afraid that she will be eaten to death by her uncle.
"Uncle, madam, it's time to drink Hexin wine!"
Fengzhu entered the house at some point, cut the melon in half, and filled the two gourds with handles connected by a thread in the middle.
Fu Qing'er got rid of the dilemma, stood up and took the ladle handed by Feng Zhu.
Luo Youdu took the other one, and the couple drank together.
The wet nurse was still reading to the side: "Drink together for one cup, uncle, and the wife will become one from now on, share joys and sorrows, share adversities, and never be separated."
After drinking Hexin wine, the next step is the most solemn part.
The gift of tying hair!
From ancient times to the present, men and women have only one wife.
Even if the first wife dies and marries another wife, she is just the second wife. Although she has the status of the first wife, she is absolutely not allowed to be called the first wife.
You can not follow the etiquette, but you can't be disrespectful.
The nanny also carefully cut off the hair of Luo Youdu and Fu Qing'er, and tied them together tightly.
Done all this.
Fengzhu had already started to make the bed, and the wet nurse also bowed to congratulate her: "I hope my wife will have a son soon."
After Fengzhu helped Fu Qing'er remove the flower hairpin from his head, he also said congratulations and trotted away.
Luo Youdu looked at the green Zhai clothes that Fu Qing'er was wearing, which was a bit annoying.
The most popular color combination in this era is red and green. The groom wears red clothes to welcome the bride, and the bride naturally wears green clothes.
Red and green, the most tacky combination in Luo Youdu's eyes, is the most popular color combination in this era.
The color is a bit eye-catching.
Take it off!!!
Luo Youdu thought in his heart and moved his hands.
