Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 95 The Big Wedding

Numerous torches illuminate the entire courtyard as brightly as day, which can clearly see all the guests present, and also ensures that the guests will not lose sight of the dishes.Jin Yu glanced roughly, there were quite a lot of people, the tables prepared in the yard were all occupied, and it seemed that a few more tables were added in the side yard.Li Ke, Li Daozong, Yan Lide, Zhen Liyan, Li Chunfeng, and Yuan Tiangang who posted the post all arrived. What Jin Yu didn't expect was that Li Chengqian, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling all came. Li Chengqian also held a baby in his arms. He brought his own baby here?What he didn't expect was that Booger Khan was also in the banquet!And those seats in the side courtyard are probably the subordinates of all the nobles present here, and the boss has gone, so some confidantes can't help but express it?In this way, it is Jin Yu who has taken advantage of the nobles.

According to the custom, the guests are not allowed to sit dry, and some fruit refreshments are served for the guests' entertainment.Jin Yu did a good job at this point, all kinds of new snacks were placed on the table, and the handyman sent by the Cheng family added them at any time, so as not to make it too difficult to put an empty plate on the table.Fortunately, Jin Yu has confidence in his skills and has prepared a lot, otherwise the posture tonight may not be enough.

Jin Yu was dressed festively today, all in red, anyone who participated in other people's weddings would know that this is the protagonist of tonight, and someone shouted from below: "The bridegroom is here!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Jin Yu in unison, and Jin Yu was really uncomfortable under the eyes of everyone.After all, he is a person who has seen the scene in later generations, and Jin Yu didn't care too much about the current customs. He raised his hand and bowed to everyone, and said: "My lords can come to support Gui Tang. Gui Tang is very grateful, and the hospitality is not good. Please forgive me a lot. Please drink to your heart's content in a while, eat and drink well!"

Modern people are obviously a little uncomfortable with Jinyu's routine of playing cards that do not follow the rules, but who are these people here?Veterans in the officialdom, some even tumblers who have survived three dynasties, soon someone took the lead and said: "The bridegroom is very polite, I wish the groom a long life and a son!"

As long as someone takes the lead, the atmosphere will become active very quickly, and there will be endless congratulations, and Jin Yu salutes and bows again.After everyone calmed down, Jin Yu followed Cheng Yaojin and walked towards the main table.

"Gui Tang's opening remarks are quite special." Jin Yu had just walked to the main table, and before he could speak, Li Chengqian, who was holding the child, teased.

"Huawai savages, let Your Highness laugh at you." After Jin Yu raised his hand and saluted, seeing that Li Chengqian had no intention of speaking again, he thanked everyone present: "Return to the Tang Dynasty and thank you for your honor. Although the food is vulgar, I still look forward to seeing you all." Don't be disgusted, adults, you must eat and drink well."

"If this is considered vulgar food, then this king really doesn't count as what he usually eats." Li Ke pointed to the snacks on the table and said, "This king has grown up so much, and I have never met Bi Gui." Tang is a person with good craftsmanship. The dim sum that Gui Tang sent last time was very good, so the ninth brother insisted on following when he heard that he had the dim sum from that day."

That little kid was eating a piece of cake with one hand, and when he heard his third brother mentioning himself, he raised his head to look at his third brother, then at Jin Yu, and opened his immature arms towards Jin Yu, Look at what that means, the deity is the Ninth Prince, since you are now married to the Tang Dynasty, let me give you a hug.

In fact, Jin Yu is very popular with children. When he was in college, he often organized volunteers to go to orphanages. Every time, he was surrounded by a large group of three-year-old and ten-year-old kids, sometimes holding them in his arms. Two babblers.Although Jin Yu wears it, it seems that the temperament of killing both sizes has not changed.

"It's strange, the ninth brother is looking for you!" Li Chengqian didn't hide his surprise at all. This little kid came to a place with many people. It's strange that the lord~ the maids at the table are not qualified to come. Among the people present, he also Let Li Chengqian and Li Ke hug, Li Ke was tired, Li Chengqian took over and hugged for a while.

"Maybe the Ninth Prince saw Guitang's festive outfit today, and wanted to go back with some joy?" Li Daozong said.

"Okay, then Gu Ke taught Gui Tang the ninth younger brother, and Gui Tang must hold on firmly." Li Chengqian watched Li Zhi keep opening his arms, and said vaguely, "Hug, hug, hug." ", immediately gave Li Zhijiao to Jin Yu for a while.

Not to mention, Li Zhi is quite a sensible kid. After being carried by Jin Yu, he chanted a loud song first, rubbed Jin Yu's face with scum, and gnawed a mouthful of makeup powder himself.This little baby didn't care about these things, just "giggled" in Jin Yu's arms, making all the adults present laugh out loud.

"It seems that the ninth brother and Gui Tang are really destined." The only person who can say this is Li Chengqian. If others want to say this, they really have to weigh it.

"Thanks to the Ninth Prince for not giving up." Jin Yu took out a handkerchief and wiped off the powder on the face and mouth of the kid.Li Zhi was very obedient and let him do whatever he wanted, staring at Jin Yu with clear eyes. After Jin Yu finished wiping, he waved his hand and stuffed the ravaged cake in Jin Yu's mouth, indicating that he could share it. Treat yourself to a favorite snack.Jin Yu always liked children, so he didn't care about Li Zhi's saliva at all. He took a bite and praised Li Zhi: "He knows how to be humble at such a young age, what a good baby." The happy Li Zhi was in Jin Yu's arms Jumping for joy.

At this time, Li Zhi still couldn't see the unbearable behavior in history, such as hooking up with his father's concubine, other than being innocent, he was still innocent.

Seeing the interaction between Jin Yu and his younger brother, Li Chengqian felt very warm, and felt that it was not in vain to try to bring his younger brother here. This kind of affection in the royal family is rare, so it is particularly precious.

Everyone was full of praise for Li Zhi's cute performance, but there was no such thing as a sure-fire compliment. To praise this in front of the prince would mean that the old birthday star hanged himself—he thinks his life is too long?
Li Zhi's little baby was having fun with Jin Yu, and the greeter came to report, and the sender arrived, so it's time to go out to greet her.Jin Yu was just about to hand over Li Zhi's baby to Li Chengqian, but the little baby disagreed, and his little mouth was about to howl.Jin Yu has experience, so he quickly took a snack to coax him, and said something about coming to play with him after a while, Li Zhicai didn't cry, but said intermittently and vaguely: "Quick```Quick``` quick."

"It will be soon, but the Ninth Prince has to be good and listen to the elder brother." Jin Yu coaxed Li Zhi Xiaowa.Li Zhi Xiaowa nodded sensiblely before letting Jin Yu leave.

Not long after Jin Yu came to the door, the Qin family's convoy arrived, and the timing was just right, and the Cheng family's big housekeeper sang: "The auspicious time is here!" Hu Yue and others threw the explosive sticks that had been prepared. Entering the blazing bonfire, there are bursts of crisp bamboo explosions, the sound is not loud, but it is also pleasant.

Under Cheng Da's instructions, Jin Yu walked slowly towards the gate with a ribbon in his hand, while Yang Ying, who got out of the car, was supported by the dowry girl, first stepped over a brazier, and then took the other end of the ribbon Step by step, he rubbed towards the door.

When she reached the threshold, Yang Ying stopped, and Han Wu and others spread a piece of brocade under Yang Ying's feet until it reached the main hall with the wedding hall.Only then did Jin Yu lead Yang Ying to walk slowly towards the Xitang, and the onlookers sprinkled a lot of grains on the couple. This was not a waste, but a custom.According to the old etiquette, when the bride enters the man’s gate, her feet cannot touch the ground, she must put on brocade or felt cloth or a mat, which implies a bright future, and the things used under her feet depend on the family conditions. It is to wish the newlyweds an early noble son, and pass on the family line to the next generation.

After moving to the wedding hall, the two stood still, and the butler Cheng sang loudly: "The auspicious time is here, the newcomers worship the hall!" The worship hall here is different from what Jin Yu knows: Yang Ying bows first, Jin Yu returns, and if so, four , it is considered a gift.

Amidst the endless stream of blessings from the guests, the two completed the worship ceremony, and then they were sent to the bridal chamber.There is also quite a lot of attention in the bridal chamber, and there are ceremonies such as the fan, the scorpion, and the bun in turn.At this time, Jin Yu deeply felt why the Celestial Dynasty has the reputation of "the state of etiquette".Let’s talk about the fan first, that is, the uncovering of the later generations. You can’t use your hands, you must use the scales; After finishing, turn the cup upside down to take the meaning of yin and yang harmony.Otherwise, you will be bullied by your wife in this life; the last is a bun, also known as "hair knotting". Both men and women cut off a little hair and put it into a "combined bun", which is kept by the bride in a sachet. That is the origin of married couples.

The next step is to make a bridal chamber, and all guests, regardless of their age, can participate.There are those who fight for money and fruits, and those who give newcomers difficult problems, but they are all more gentle and far less straightforward than later generations.

After the bridal chamber, it is time to go out to toast the guests, but the bride is not allowed to come out, and only the groom is the one to deal with it.

After Jin Yu came out, he didn't break his promise, and picked up Li Zhi's baby to play for a while.When everyone was half drunk and preparing to toast, Xiaowa Li Zhi refused to leave Jin Yu's embrace. It just so happened that the Ninth Prince became Jin Yu's best "drinking card".Because Jin Yu is hugging the Ninth Prince, there is no one who is not open-eyed and insists on Jin Yu drinking, just make a point of it.

When toasting Booger Khan, Booger Khan was very humble, and he came up to thank him, not because he didn't understand Jin Yu'an Turkic's intentions, but because he was thinking of millions of Turkic people and prevented his tribe from being persecuted. Tu's fate.

After a round of toasts, the banquet was almost over, and Li Zhixiaowa finally successfully completed the mission of "stopping wine" because she couldn't stand the smell of alcohol in Jin Yu's mouth, and fell asleep in the arms of the maid.The snacks, dishes, and shochu used in the banquet tonight have laid a customer base for the promotion of Jinyu's business in the future.

After seeing off all the guests, what Jinyu will face next will be the most important part of the wedding - the consummation of the house!
