The procession of announcing the wedding left the Guo family, but did not take Mrs. Guo away. They only dressed her up in a dignified manner. After a while, a "welcoming" team would come to welcome the bride.
To welcome is to welcome the bride according to the order. There is absolutely no reason for the emperor to welcome the bride in person. The emperor is so precious!
Ye An was extremely reluctant to get on the big horse. This was not his wish, but a "strong man" who was forcibly captured.
Both Zhao Zhen and Liu E felt that he was suitable for the job of serving as a welcome officer, okay... When the official was informed of the deadline, he was the close official next to the official, and when he was welcomed, he was also a welcome officer, so he regarded himself as "
Where is the command of "tool man"?!
Others think that he is graceful and graceful, but in fact Ye An feels that he is being roasted on the fire.
Zhao Zhen may not know the pros and cons, but Liu E will not know that if he holds such an important position, he will inevitably have good relations with the Guo family. Even if he does not have this idea, the Guo family will think what others think.
As the emperor's "best man", he had to dress festively, so Ye An was dressed up as a "big flower basket" with a big red flower on his head, another on his body, and even a horse's head.
There is one flower that can be said to be "three flowers gathered at the top"...
The motorcade arrived at Huashiqiao from Yujie in a lively manner, and the sounds of congratulations, sighs, and praises from all around never stopped.
At this time, the Guo family was well prepared, with all kinds of support, dowry, maids, and servants all thoughtful and decent. No one could say a word "no", but the most eye-catching thing was the Guo family's dowry.
The Song Dynasty was different from later generations. In this era, although a man got a betrothal gift, the woman's dowry was the highlight. It was often several times or even dozens of times the man's dowry. However, there was also a law that the woman had the right to control her own dowry, and even
Is it possible to report it to the official when the man embezzles it...
In Ye An's opinion, this is really a big deal. It is rare that there are such rules to protect women in this patriarchal society.
The Guo family has a lot of dowry, many of which are precious goods from Puhui Store and Lan Kwai Fong. Ye An couldn't help but smile bitterly. He can get as many of these goods as he wants, but through various marketing and comparisons, the price is unknown.
It doubled several times.
Who doesn't know that Ye An is a close official of the official family, and the Guo family, with Liu E's instructions and advice, worked hard to repair relations with the Yunzhong Junhou Mansion.
It's just that Ye An doesn't like the Guo family. In fact, he doesn't like most of the wealthy families. But because the "customers" are so enthusiastic, he still needs to be polite.
However, Ye An felt that it was unlucky for him to ride a eunuch horse to greet Zhao Zhen on his behalf. Even the general Guo Guo Shouqi was a little dissatisfied. He muttered in a low voice: "The chief minister is really a fool. He actually used this gelding."
If Ma Lai perverts my Guo family, if the official saints find out about it, they will definitely be severely punished!"
"The emperor said well! The foolish official did something stupid, but there is nothing we can do about it. Almost all the good horses in our Song Dynasty were contributed by Dangxiang Liao. Naturally they are all geldings. There is no need for the emperor to be angry."
Ye An's words are correct. Guo Shouqi sighed slightly: "Hey! Ye Hou also served in the military. How can I not know the origin of these horses? I just feel a little aggrieved. Today is my daughter's happy day.
If you don’t say this, please come to Yehou!"
Ye An hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted: "The emperor is welcome."
Lao Guo was not as serious and intimidating as the rumors said. On the contrary, he was open-minded and cheerful. When he pulled Ye An, he talked about military rudeness.
The lung tubes were photographed.
After entering the house, we were treated to delicious food, drinks, and treats. Tea, refreshments, and candied fruits were all eaten in circles, and we had to eat them.
This is the rule for welcoming a bride, and it is also a bonus. Seeing these sweet and high-calorie foods in front of him, Ye An felt that his whole head was big. Qin Mumu should like this scene more, right?
Fortunately, I am young. If an older person with high blood sugar had come along, his blood sugar would have soared and he would have died on the spot.
When his mouth was numb after eating, Lao Guo was still a good person. He pulled Ye An away with a frown and said with a wry smile: "A woman like this has no eyesight. A man should eat meat and drink wine."
,Here comes the banquet!"
I'll go! Ye An looked at the huge mountain of meat and the huge wine vat in shock, and finally understood why the chief of ceremonies looked at him with sympathy before leaving.
Looking at the fat and strong old Guo Ye'an, he waved his hands and said: "Your Majesty, you are so polite. My nephew really can't eat anymore. This, this is too much. Besides, the emperor's life is on his side. If he gets drunk, I'm afraid it will be delayed."
It’s a big deal!”
Lao Guo looked at Ye An dissatisfied, raised his eyebrows and said: "You are such a bad boy. Who knows that the wine shop next to Daxiangguo Temple belongs to your Yunzhong Junhou Mansion. The wine is quite valuable, but
What I drank today was ale, wouldn’t Marquis Ye want to try it?!”
After Lao Guo finished speaking, he opened the wine jar, and the golden wine flowed out, with a thick layer of foam floating on it.
Ye An shouted in surprise: "Beer?!"
"Beer? What is beer? This is the barley wine of Fufeng Company, which is famous in Tokyo. Our Guo family holds some shares."
Ye An picked up the wine glass and tasted it and immediately frowned. The taste of barley wine was different from that of beer. Although it looked similar, it didn't have the mellow sweet and bitter taste and was slightly astringent.
Ye An waved his hand and said: "Zhang Guozhang, this ale is really good, but it's a pity that it should be made from wheat. It must taste better."
"You kid said you can't drink alcohol. You hit the nail on the head. I was thinking about using wheat a few days ago, but it didn't work after repeated attempts!"
After saying that, regardless of the fact that it was his daughter's wedding, he took Ye An to the backyard. Then Ye An saw a huge wine barrel. Only large wooden barrels can be used to brew beer, because the fermentation of beer will produce a lot of gas, and
When the gas dissipates, the smell will be much worse. It seems that Lao Guo understands this truth.
Unexpectedly, people in this era can already brew beer. This was far beyond Ye An's expectation. What surprised him even more was that in the absence of hops, Lao Guo actually used Kudingcha instead of hops. No wonder there is a similar
It has a bitter taste, but the taste is poor and the aroma is insufficient.
Lao Guo is an alcoholic, a lover of wine, and even loves making wine. However, although he likes it, his skills are not good. The reason why he was able to brew barley wine this time must be because he got the secret recipe of Fufeng Company.
Ye An could use his butt to figure out where this secret recipe came from, the Western Region...
It seems that Rosanna is not only doing business with Puhui Company, but also with other companies. With the wealth of Fufeng Company, if Rosanna is not interested, then she is not the smartest woman in Xizhou Uighur.
Unexpectedly, there would be unexpected gains from marrying Zhao Zhen, not only barley wine, but also understanding of Rosanna's methods.
After chatting with Lao Guo for a while, Ye An quickly found an excuse to leave. He was really afraid! He was afraid that Lao Guo would delay his good time, and he was also afraid that he would be drunk to death by this old drunkard.
Fortunately, Lao Guo's wife, Mrs. Li, had an extraordinary status in the family. When she saw Lao Guo dragging Ye An to eat and drink, she immediately became furious and said: "You are a killer, you think Ye Hou is just like you! You missed the auspicious time for your daughter, you missed it."
How many heads do you have in the auspicious time of Tianjia?!"
A scolding silenced Lao Guo. There was nothing he could do. Li's sister was Emperor Taizong's Empress Mingde, and she was extremely noble. In terms of seniority, she was considered the grandma of today's official family. Naturally, Lao Guo did not dare to keep Ye An anymore...
