Chapter five hundred and nineteenth trouble in the bridal chamber
"It's not suitable for me to sit down, so I'd better find another place." Xue Rengui said.
In ancient times, rules and etiquette were the most important. The table in front was reserved for princes and nobles.
Xue Rengui's status does not qualify him to sit here.
"I didn't just drag you here. This is what Bao Lin said. After a while, the brothers in the army will come over and sit here." Cheng Chumo said.
Xue Rengui wanted to say something else, but Lin Xuan said: "Rengui, please sit down, I'm not interested in being alone."
"yes."
Lin Xuan opened his mouth, so Xue Rengui naturally couldn't refuse and sat down.
"You guys sit down first, I have to go greet the guests." Cheng Chu said silently and left in a hurry.
"Rengui, I haven't congratulated you on marrying a beautiful wife." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Xue Rengui cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Hou. It is all thanks to Mr. Hou's kindness that Rengui is where he is today. Rengui is deeply grateful."
He and Liu Yinhuan fell in love, but because his family was poor, Liu Yuanwai didn't like him at all.
If Lin Xuan hadn't sent someone to invite him to Chang'an and support him, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Xue Rengui is a fifth-rank general, so Liu Yuanwai will naturally not object to his marriage to Liu Yinhuan.
"Stop saying these words. The expedition is about to begin. During this time, I will go home and spend more time with my relatives." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, the army is composed of elites drawn from each battalion. Most of them have been on the battlefield. After such a long period of training, they are no worse than the Turkic cavalry." Xue Rengui said.
"With you here, I feel relieved."
Although Xue Rengui's abilities are greatly exaggerated in the novel, as a famous general in history, Xue Rengui certainly has abilities.
Although it has not been trained on the battlefield, it is still no problem to train as a soldier.
While Lin Xuan and Xue Rengui were chatting, Cheng Chumo brought some more people over.
These people are all lieutenant generals in the army. After all, the number has now expanded to 10,000. Cheng Chumo and the others alone are naturally not enough.
Some of these people Lin Xuan had met a few times when he was in the army, and some were promoted later, but he had never met them.
Xue Rengui helped Lin Xuan introduce them one by one.
After everyone chatted for a while, Colonel Tang Hongfeng said to Xue Rengui: "General, I wonder how the general has considered our previous proposal?"
"This...I haven't thought about it yet." Xue Rengui glanced at Lin Xuan and said.
"Master Hou, we don't have much time now, we still need to make a decision." Tang Hongfeng said.
Lin Xuan asked: "What are you talking about?"
"Back to the Marquis, we do not belong to the Twelve Guards. We would like to ask the general to report and ask your Majesty to give the camp number." Tang Hongfeng said.
After listening to this, Lin Xuan understood why Xue Rengui hesitated.
Although there are twelve guards in the Tang Dynasty, it does not mean that there are only twelve guards. Please give the camp number, it is natural.
It's just that once the camp number is sealed, there will be corresponding official positions.
For example, the top general of Qianniuwei is General Qianniuwei.
Xue Rengui felt that Lin Xuan was the main general, and he had some intentions of seizing power.
"Please, Lord Marquis, ask your Majesty for a camp title." Xue Rengui said with his hands in hand.
"Okay, I'll go talk to His Majesty later."
Lin Xuan nodded, just because he went didn't mean he would become a general.
Now that you have reached the title of nobility, don't you enjoy it? Why bother so much?
While everyone was chatting, time passed quietly, and Yuchi Baolin had returned from welcoming his bride.
The Yuchi family is from Xianbei. Those aristocratic families pride themselves on being noble, so how could they be willing to marry the Yuchi family.
Therefore, Yuchi Baolin did not marry a noble girl, but the daughter of a county magistrate. As for her numb appearance and covering her head, Lin Xuan did not see it.
"Is it necessary to paint like this when getting married?"
The bride can't see it, but the groom can.
Seeing the thick powder on Yuchi Baolin's face, Lin Xuan shuddered a little.
Do you want to paint like this when you get married?
Xue Rengui had experienced this and nodded unnaturally.
Next, the chapel is held, the bride is sent into the bridal chamber, and the banquet begins.
Cheng Chumo and others also came to Lin Xuan and others' table and sat down.
"I'm finally done with my work. I'm almost exhausted." Cheng Chumo complained.
"When you get married, won't Paulin be your guest? I'm at a huge loss." Li Dejiang said angrily.
He got married two years ago. In order to keep a low profile and because he was the second son, Li Jing did not make a big deal.
During this period, not only did he serve as a guest to Cheng Chumo, but now he also served as a guest to Yuchi Baolin.
"Haha, let's not talk about this anymore, the food is here, let's eat and eat." Cheng Chumo said.
"It's delicious. It's worthy of being the chef of the royal family."
Tang Hongfeng and others praised him repeatedly.
Although most restaurants in Chang'an now offer fried dishes, they are not cheap.
Tang Hongfeng and the others used to have a low status and had just been promoted. How could they go to those places?
The cooks of the Yuchi family have all studied at the Lin family, so the food they cook is naturally delicious.
Yuchi Baolin went from table to table to toast, and came to the table of Lin Xuan and others.
"Thank you all, I'd like to toast you all."
Yuchi Baolin was holding the wine and smiling very happily.
Everyone stood up, raised their glasses, and said congratulations.
After drinking, Yuchi Baolin said apologetically: "Everyone, drink slowly. I'm being negligent."
"Okay, you go and do your work."
After Yuchi Baolin left, Lin Xuan asked strangely: "When did Baolin's drinking capacity become so good? How can he get married if he drinks like this?"
This wine is all divine wine, and it has been stored in the cellar for a year.
He had just seen Yuchi Baolin's cup, but there was no real cup left.
If you drink like this, you'll probably end up drinking before you finish the toast, so you can still have a bridal chamber.
Cheng Chumo was sitting next to Lin Xuan. Hearing this, he leaned into his ear and whispered: "That's all water. It's just to go to the latrine a few more times so as not to delay the wedding."
"How did you..."
Before Lin Xuan finished speaking, he came to his senses. It seemed that Cheng Chumo did the same thing.
"This is all acquiescence, no one will take it seriously." Cheng Chumo said.
"It's better to marry the princess." Cheng Chumo said with some envy.
"Where's the good?"
"If you marry a princess, you don't need to hold a wedding. You don't even need to toast each other. You can just go to the bridal chamber." Cheng Chumo said.
"The prince-in-law doesn't need a toast?" Lin Xuan asked in surprise.
He knew that weddings were organized by the etiquette department. After all, marrying the consort seemed glorious, but in fact it was almost the same as marrying into the bride-in-law.
The difference is that children can take their own surname.
"The princess is the king, so the prince-in-law naturally does not need to toast to everyone, he only needs to toast to the princes and nobles." Cheng Chumo said.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think there are many princes and nobles in the Tang Dynasty?"
"Of course there are more." Cheng Chumo didn't understand why Lin Xuan asked this for a while.
"Then do you think I need less toasts than you?" Lin Xuan said angrily.
Although Yuchi Baolin was the future Duke of E, he was only the future after all. When he got married, many princes and nobles only sent people to bring gifts, or sent their eldest sons to attend.
Lin Xuan married the eldest princess, and all the princes and nobles in Chang'an would be present.
Not to mention drinking less, even like Cheng Chumo and others, it is impossible to replace wine with water.
Lin Xuan felt a little guilty for a moment because he shouldn't have gotten the immortal drunk in the first place.
Otherwise, with the strength of Datang's wine, he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
After the banquet was over, Lin Xuan was dragged by Cheng Chumo to the bridal chamber.
Lin Xuan was also a little curious about the ancient methods of making wedding arrangements.
However, Lin Xuan felt a little bored when he saw the way Cheng Chumo and the others made trouble in the wedding room.
It's nothing more than letting the groom perform martial arts and letting the bride recite poetry.
But that's right, the bride's hijab can't be taken off until the wedding. In addition, ancient times were more reserved, so it can only be made like this.
Lin Xuan found it boring. This was not as fun as having a bridal chamber in the future.
