Chapter Three Hundred and Two: Pick Up the Family
Li Ze's wedding is destined to be the top priority for Chang'an in May, whether from a political perspective or from other aspects.
Politically speaking, after the merger of Chengde, Henghai and Zhenwu towns into Wuwei Jie Town, Li Ze jumped into one of the most powerful figures in the north. Liu Ruyan was accepted as her adopted daughter by the empress dowager and promoted to the princess. The emperor personally gave her marriage, which marked the alliance between Wuwei Jie Town and the royal family. With the reputation of being a great righteous person inside and the support of the strong town outside, it can be said that at this moment, the long-weak Tang Dynasty finally ushered in a dawn of revitalization.
From another perspective, Chang'an hasn't seen such a grand wedding for a long time. The story of the protagonist Li Ze has been compiled into a storybook by countless storytellers and was sung in teahouses and restaurants on the streets of Chang'an. Of course, there is a boost from the imperial court.
But Li Ze's story caters to the ambition hidden deep in the hearts of countless people.
He was just an illegitimate son who was not valued, but he relied on his own efforts to become one of the powerful figures in the North within a few years. His power of life and death was great, and his every move touched the hearts of the people in the world.
In history, the youngest general of the town and the youngest general of Qianniu Guard.
This is a typical story of a beggar turning into a prince! Such a story can even destroy the infinite imagination of Chang'an people. Before Li Ze showed up, his reputation was already well-known in Chang'an.
On May 1st, early in the morning, the streets were crowded with people watching the fun. The Yuan Cong Imperial Guard, commanded by Qin Zhao, was wearing a red quilt and red cherry hairpin. Although he was holding a spear, the sword and halberd were covered with a layer of red cloth. It seemed that he had expected the grand scene today. The various departments under Jingzhao Yin and the Yuan Cong Imperial Guard, all made careful arrangements and preparations, blocking several streets from Liu Ruyan's family to the General's Mansion.
Fortunately, the two buildings are not far apart.
Li Ze was wearing a big red wedding robe and happily rode on the tall horse. He walked forward all the way. On both sides were Zhang Hui and Gongsun Changming, and behind him were a mighty wedding team.
Li Ze didn't mind making the show bigger. He now needs everyone in the world to know that he has formed an alliance with the royal family. He is now a hardcore confidant of the royal family, and the royal family treats him kindly. These operations will spread all over the world after today's wedding. When he does something in the future, everyone will only think it is a natural move.
Li Ze was a little funny when he thought of the past few days.
Once the wedding date was determined, it was announced to the world. These days, General Qianniuwei has been receiving gifts. Not only the wealthy and powerful families and gentry in Chang'an and Luoyang, all of whom, whether they recognize them or not, or whether they have friendships, they all gave them a heavy gift.
For a person like Li Ze, if you give it to him, others may not remember you at all, but if you don’t give it to him, they may think of you. So for such a thing, you would rather throw a lot of money into the water and not even hear a sound, and you must give it to him.
When ordinary people give gifts, naturally, Chen Bing, the actual butler of the General's Mansion, came forward to receive them, registered and said thank you, and then invited them to come to the mansion to drink and celebrate in one day and then it was done. But some people still had to come forward to receive them in person, such as gifts sent by the soldiers from various towns.
Gao Pian was in Hedong, but his family was in Chang'an. His eldest son personally sent a gift, so Li Ze naturally wanted to come forward to express his gratitude.
For example, in Hezhongjie Town, Zhaoyijie Town, they also sent confidants to send their etiquette to express their qualities. These people came on behalf of their master, and their masters and Li Ze have similar identities, so Li Ze naturally had to be polite.
What made Li Ze the most funny was that Tian Chengsi, the governor of Weibo, and Zhu Wen, the governor of Xuanwu, actually sent people to send gifts, and it was not as thick as it was. It was a dozen cars of gifts at the same time, which was simply all-encompassing.
Calling brother in person and touching the guy behind his back is nothing more than that.
Of course, before everyone broke up, Li Ze naturally greeted him with a smile. These people went to Beijing just to take this opportunity to find out, see what Li Ze and the court had planned and then decide their next actions.
In Li Ze's opinion, after his wedding, they were afraid that they would speed up the steps of their actions. Otherwise, if they really wiped out Zhang Zhongwu and turned around, it would be difficult for them to be human.
"Master Li." Li Ze, who was thinking about his mind, suddenly screamed in his ears, which made him look up at the place where the sound came in a little surprised. With the sound of an excited woman screaming, something actually flew straight towards Li Ze. Li Ze saw it very clearly. The screaming woman swung her arm, and an object that was unknown, flew towards him accurately.
Behind him, Li Mi, who was riding on a horse, flew up, stretched his arms in the air, and immediately caught the matter, fell to the ground lightly. When he spread his palms, he couldn't help but be surprised that it turned out to be a small sachet with exquisite embroidery. When he opened it, there was nothing else inside except a piece of spice.
Li Mi handed the thing to Li Ze for some reason, then turned his head and looked at Qin Zhao, who was responsible for today's guard, and now he acted as one of the ministers of the wedding.
"General Li is not aware of it. This is a custom in Chang'an." Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Overyone doesn't have this treatment yet!"
Before Qin Zhao finished speaking, the woman who had just thrown out the sachet was already excited: "Standle Li has taken my sachet!"
This sentence seemed to be a signal. Suddenly, on both sides of the street, countless sachets and flowers flew towards Li Ze's team like rain. Of course, their main target was Li Ze.
By the way, Li Ze did not show up in public, but everyone is watching the fun today, mostly because of the wedding show and curiosity about the 17-year-old boy's Day. But now when Li Ze appeared in front of everyone on a high-headed horse, countless women in the Tang Dynasty who were dreaming of the Chang'an suddenly discovered that this person was not only talented, but also beautiful.
While jealous of the Liu woman who was about to become the general's wife, she also expressed her love for Li Ze heroically.
But in this way, Li Zeke became embarrassed.
Even though he was good, even though Li Mi and Chen Changping's two personal guards tried their best, they still couldn't stop the things thrown in like rain. In the end, the two of them just stared closely at whether the flying things would be mixed with other malicious dark objects. They could only ask for permission to do anything like sachets and flowers.
In an instant, Li Ze was hit by countless flowers and sachets.
What's even more hateful is that the others around him were like Zhang Hui, but Gongsun Changming just laughed. The two even took a few sachets and put them in their arms, causing a scream from the woman on the roadside.
Qin Zhao laughed even more, and the Yuan Cong Imperial Guards who were in charge of the roadside had no intention of stopping them.
After finally breaking through the siege, Li Ze was already slanted.
The Liu family mansion was already in front of him, and Li Ze patted his heart with lingering fear and sighed: "The woman in Chang'an is too bold."
"This is what makes the handsome young man from the court, handsome and talented, so that the girl Sichun is so popular. If it were someone else, there might be booing!" Zhang Hui laughed.
I drank in front of the Liu family’s door with a light, but the door was closed.
Li Ze turned over and got off the horse, stepped onto the steps, knocked on the door hard, and behind him, Gongsun Changming, Zhang Hui, Qin Zhao and others shouted in unison: "Bride, come out quickly. Bride, come out quickly."
But no matter how loud they shouted, the door was still closed, and there was a faint laughter of eating in the house.
Li Mi stepped forward, Chen Changping followed behind with a big basket in his arms. Li Mi took out a bunch of copper coins from the basket and threw them inward through the wall of the courtyard. After throwing dozens of silos, the voice came from the courtyard: "I have money, but there are talent! Without talent, our brides will not go out."
Li Ze was also prepared for it. Gongsun Changming strode forward, stood in front of the door, and chanted: "It is said that the candle is lowered and the red powder is not to be in front of the mirror. Don't be in the face. Don't be full of makeup, but with eyebrows waiting for the painter to paint."
This is when the bride is in love with her family and is unwilling to go out, so the groom's house, who comes to pick her up, has begun to destroy her makeup.
After Gongsun Changming recited a poem, the door was still silent.
Zhang Hui laughed and walked forward, then chanted: "Princess Shiyi is noble, married to Li Shuai's family, Tian's mother makes powder, and Ri brother gives flowers. He destroys the tent of a hundred sons and waits to block the seven-scent cart. He asks if he is made up, and the east wants to get a till Xiaoxia."
Liu Ruwei was adopted by the Empress Dowager as her adopted daughter and was named Princess Shiyi. The fief of the chapter was in Shiyi. This poem about makeup destroying cleverly inlaid Liu Ruyan's identity, which not only demonstrates Liu Ruyan's current dignity, but also shows that the family she married was getting married, and it was getting late when it was destroyed. If she didn't leave, it would be a mistake.
The two of them can't say who is better than who is inferior, but Zhang Hui's is more suitable. Zhang Hui's body and voice are not comparable to Gongsun Changming. This poem is really very high-profile, but I'm afraid that even the people in the backyard of the Liu family can hear it clearly.
As this makeup-breaking poem was completed, the gate of Liu's family opened loudly.
The bride should have been sent by his brothers, but Liu Chenglin is still competing with the powerful landlords in Yingzhou at this moment. The one who sent Liu Ruyan was her biological son, Mr. Liu Panliu.
"A good son-in-law, Qiao'er is too spoiled, and she will be sympathetic to her son-in-law in the future." At this moment, Mr. Liu's eyes had faded away his usual world, and his eyes were slightly red.
"Old Master Taishan, please rest assured." Li Ze bowed to the ground, "I should sing with Qiaoer's zither, grow old until I grow old, and hold my eyebrows together."
Mr. Liu trembled and put the hand of Liu Ruyan holding him in Li Ze's hand.
Li Ze helped Liu Ruyan turn around and faced the team to pick up the bride.
