Qizhou Governor's Mansion.

At this moment, it can be said that the house is full of guests and it is very

lively. Wang Renbiao, as the Qizhou governor, plus the eldest son of the

Taiyuan Wang family, he is married. Who dares not come from the official court

of Qizhou?

Not only the officialdom, but also the wealthy businessmen and gentry in

Qizhou, all squeezed their heads to participate in this wedding banquet. After

all, Wang Renbiao is the "boss" of the Qizhou land boundary, and two

heavyweights, Wang Yu and Princess Tongan, are also in Qizhou. , If you can

build a relationship with Wang Renbiao or Wang's family through this wedding

banquet, then you will be fully developed!

So even if many people can't get invitations, they still lick their faces to

give gifts, wanting to be familiar with Wang Renbiao, Wang Yu, and Princess

Tongan. No matter how bad they are, it is good to have a good relationship!

However, as a thousand-year-old family, the Wang family is naturally not short

of money, so in terms of gifts, for those guests who can't get along with the

Wang family, they will not accept them in the Heli Cishi Mansion! If you come

to celebrate Wang Renbiao’s wedding, you are welcome. You can eat the water

table outside the governor's mansion, but you want to take this opportunity to

bribe Wang Renbiao with a heavy gift. I’m sorry, this gift won’t be accepted

by the Wang’s family!

This rule was set by Wang Yu. Nowadays, the family is precarious. The five

surnames and seven hopes have disappeared. Now there are only four of the

seven families, including the Li Tang imperial family. Now Wang Renbiao and

Wang Yu are both court officials. In terms of style, Wang Yu is quite

cautious! In his opinion, the Wang family has a thousand years of age, and has

never been short of money? There is no need to let the censors grab their

handle for this petty profit!

You must know that since the collapse of the Cui family and the Zheng family,

the royal historians in the court now especially like to collect the evil

deeds of the children of the family to prove their integrity and integrity!

Wang Yu will never make a low-level mistake in this matter!

And Wang Renbiao is also very supportive of his decision! As the governor of

Qizhou, Wang Renbiao naturally did not want his county officials to send

expensive gifts for his big wedding. Qizhou is not rich, and most officials

can only live on the royal salaries (of course). , Except for corrupt

officials). In this case, how is Wang Renbiao willing to ask for their gifts?

And this is also easy to form a wind of comparison!

Therefore, when he sent people to distribute invitations to officials in

Qizhou counties, Wang Renbiao asked his subordinates to clearly inform them

that people can come, but no gifts are accepted!

This style of behavior has naturally won unanimous praise from officials in

Qizhou officialdom. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, local officials

were relatively clear and clear. It cannot be said that there were no corrupt

officials, but the proportion of corrupt officials was absolutely very small,

and most officials were still relatively. Incorruptible. Before that, many

officials were worried when they knew that Wang Renbiao was about to get

married, because Wang Renbiao was both the governor of Qizhou and the eldest

son of Wang’s family in Taiyuan. He got married, and if the gifts they gave

were a gift, wouldn’t it mean offending the boss? , Offend the Wang Family?

But if this gift is too expensive, your own money bag is not allowed! This is

really a dilemma!

Therefore, Wang Renbiao's move was a relief to most officials in Qizhou!

Not only that, the folks are also full of praise for the marriage of Wang

Renbiao and Li Jingchu, because today there are thousands of tables of running

water seats on the streets outside the governor's house, and the running water

seats will be placed for three days, during which all the people will be Can

come and eat for free.

This is Wang Renbiao's handwriting!

When Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi got married last year, they invited almost the

people of Chang'an City to eat "chewed chicken" (of course, there was a

prerequisite at that time, that is, everyone had to bring a bunch of flowers

before going there), and now Wang Renbiao Wang Renbiao naturally wanted to get

married with Li Jingchu, because Li Jingchu had suffered too much for him, and

he wanted to make up for her!

"The bride is here! The bride is here!"

At about three quarters, the welcoming team finally returned. The crowd

outside the governor's mansion voluntarily gave way. Wang Renbiao got off his

horse and lifted Li Jingchu out of the carriage. Looking at the new couple,

the people onlookers and the guests at the Governor's Mansion all couldn't

help but admire:

"Wang Cishi is young and handsome, and this young lady from the Li family is

beautiful, but she is a match made in heaven!"

"Who said no? This bride and groom are so good!"

"This Miss Li's family was born in our Yongxian County, this time is to add

glory to our Yongxian County!"

"Maybe Wang Cishi will stay in Qizhou because of this, and the people of

Qizhou will also be blessed!"

"Haha! That's right, that's right!"

There are those who praise and bless from the bottom of the heart, and

naturally there are also those who speak cool words, but these cool words only

dare to whisper in the small face:

"But I heard that the Li family is just a merchant's family, and Wang Cishi

was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan. Isn't this a bit of an improper

household?"

"Yes! It is said that this time the Patriarch of the Wang Family and Princess

Tongan came from Suizhou a thousand miles away, just to break up their pair!"

"Then why are they still together now?"

"You don't know this, do you? It is said that..."

In the face of these private gossips, Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu were too

lazy to listen to them, and both of them knew that it was not easy for them to

get together now, and naturally they would not increase their troubles because

of the opinions of others!

Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu together led a red silk, stepped on the red

carpet, and walked into the Cishi Mansion. Next, the newcomer will have to go

through three "levels"-across the brazier, across the saddle, and across the

rice bag!

In the courtyard, the emcee sang in a loud voice: "Yufeng raised his foot on

the pot of fire, hiding on both sides of the fierce spirit and evil spirits.

Happy to land in the blessed nest, good days are booming! The newcomer crosses

the brazier——"

"A piece of sandalwood, carved into a jade saddle, the newcomer stepped over,

step by step to ensure safety. The newcomer straddled the saddle--"

"Eat and wear, one generation wins over one generation. The newcomers cross

the rice bag--"

At this moment, taking advantage of the opportunity for the newcomers to enter

the mansion, the long history of the governor's mansion also began to sing

congratulations. This congratulation ceremony is also an indispensable part of

the wedding. One is to show the man’s family contacts, and the other is to

send congratulations. A kind of respect from our guests!

Previously, Wang Yu and Wang Renbiao did tell the officials and ordinary

people in Qizhou who came to the banquet today not to bring gifts, but that is

because the relationship between those people and the Wang family has not yet

reached that point. Even if they are sending gifts, they still It is not here

to sincerely congratulate Wang Renbiao on his newly married, but to please

Wang Renbiao and cling to the Wang family!

But this does not mean that the governor's office will not accept gifts today!

For those who are close to the Wang family or Wang Renbiao, they still have to

accept their gifts, because this is the courtesy exchanges between friends and

acquaintances! If you don't accept it, it will seem unkind!

I saw Chang Shi holding a long gift list at the door and sang loudly:

"Liu Wenchang, the provincial governor of Xiangzhou, came to congratulate and

gave 400,000 yuan, a pair of red gold inlaid treasure buckles, a pair of white

jade mandarin duck buckles, and a gold hairpin with double-luan-bearing

birthday fruit~!"

"Zhang Wenfang, the magistrate of Sui County, came to congratulate him with a

gift of 100,000 yuan, a jade Buddha, a pair of gold cups, and six silver

collars~!"

"Deng Guangcai, the county magistrate of Xiangyang County, came to

congratulate him with a gift of 100,000 yuan, a pair of white jade mandarin

ducks and a jade Buddha~!"

"Mr. Zhang Jing, a student of Suizhou Fu, came to congratulate him and gave

him 30,000 yuan, a copy of the four treasures of the first-class scholar, and

a copy of the calligraphy treasure of the sage Wang Youjun~!

"Xiangzhou Fu Xuezheng, Mr. He Wenqing, came to congratulate him and gave him

30,000 yuan and a rubbing copy of "Puqin Tu"~!"

(The "Picture of the Qin" was made by the Eastern Jin painter Gu Kaizhi, and

his representative work is also "The Picture of Luoshen")

Most of the people at the top of the gift list were local officials in Suizhou

or near Suizhou, and there were also gentlemen from the local government. Wang

Yujiu was an official in Suizhou. Of course, he met many local officials.

These people came to congratulate and give gifts. You have to accept both

emotion and reason!

Among these gifts, there are gold and silver jewelry, as well as celebrities,

calligraphy and painting. Generally speaking, these gifts are not very

valuable, but they are more important than the gifts. After all, these people

are either officials on one side or Mr. Fuxue. Not to mention being rich and

wealthy!

It’s not surprising that the people and guests who know the inside story of

Suizhou officialdom who came to congratulate them are not surprised, but

everyone feels that these gifts seem to be almost meaningless. After all,

10,000 yuan is almost only a dozen, and 100,000 yuan. It's only more than a

hundred consistent, for a thousand-year-old family like the Wang family, it's

not worth mentioning!

But soon, the "local tyrants" that everyone was looking forward to came:

"Fan Yang Lu's Lu Chengqing came to congratulate him and gave away four

million yuan, four gold collars, six silver collars, one golden phoenix with a

pearl, one golden hairpin with double-luan-bearing longevity fruit, and a pair

of golden phoenix hairpins with a double-luan bearing fruit. , Diancui inlaid

a pair of Hetian white jade and phoenix bird hairpins, and a pair of Cuilaisi

silk phoenix hairpins~!"

"Li Jingxuan, Li's family of Zhaojun, came to congratulate him and gave us

four million yuan, a pair of white jade mandarin duck buckles, four sets of

beeswax turquoise gowns, two pieces of jade-handled ivory-handled knives, four

gold collars, and six silver collars. A~!"

The crowd suddenly exclaimed:

"Oh~! Give four million dollars! The people of Fan Yang Lu and Zhao Jun Li are

here! Wang Cishi's face is so great!"

"Lu Chengqing? Li Jingxuan? They are the eldest sons of Fan Yang Lu's and Zhao

Jun Li's eldest son! They actually came in person!"

"This means that the Wang family can have this influence!"

As everyone discussed, only the Governor General Shi continued to read aloud:

"Chang'an Yongan Hou sent someone to congratulate his sister and Wang Cishi on

their wedding, with a special gift of 8 million yuan, four pairs of the best

night pearls, one golden phoenix, one golden phoenix, and one golden hairpin

with a double-luan bearing the birthday fruit. A pair of bead and gold phoenix

hairpins, a pair of dotted emerald inlaid Hetian white jade and phoenix bird

hairpins, a Qiquge carriage, three second-generation bicycles, and a special

electric car made by Qiquge Workshop~!"

More than a month ago, the large locusts in Guanzhong and Qizhou were also

affected by the locust plague. When Li Zexuan led the Tianji brigade

northward, he passed through Qizhou. Within a few days, he wiped out the

locusts in the farmland in Qizhou. After all, the people of Qizhou are all

grateful for Li Zexuan's kindness. Now that the onlookers and guests in the

mansion are not shocked when they hear the words Yonganhou read by the

governor of the governor Shishi? Everyone was not only shocked by the gift in

the gift list, but also shocked by another identity of the bride:

"Send 8 million dollars! Yonganhou is really proud to make a move!"

"What? Hou Yongan came to congratulate?"

"I heard that Yonganhou and Wang Cishi are very close friends. I didn't know

whether this rumor was true or false before, but now it seems to be true!"

"In that case, wouldn't the people of Qizhou also be blessed? What about the

Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce in Hou Yongan? I wonder if I can open a branch in

Qizhou at that time!"

"Who said that there are no branches? The carriages sold in the car dealership

in Miss Li's house were brought from the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce!"

"There is still such a thing?"

"Tsk tusk! Eight million dollars! How much money is this! I have never seen so

much money in my life!"

"Cut! What is this? You hear that the last two gifts in the gift list are

precious!"

"What gift?"

"Here! It's the second-generation bicycle, and the electric car specially made

by Qiquge Workshop!"

"Second-generation bicycles? The second-generation bicycles mentioned in the

"Datang Daily" a while ago? We don't have many of these in Qizhou, right?"

"Isn't that? Look at how generous Yong'an Hou is. You will get three cars as

soon as you make a shot! This is actually nothing. The most precious thing is

the special electric car made by Qiquge Workshop!"

"What is this electric car? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Hey! This electric car is so amazing. Most people don't even know it. My

uncle has been doing business in Chang'an, so I heard some news! It is said

that this electric car is a very huge iron box with people sitting in it. , No

need for livestock to pull in front, and no need for people to use their feet

to pedal the wheels~www.mtlnovel.com~ The car can go automatically, it’s

amazing!"

"Huh~! There is still this kind of car in this world?"

"Yeah! Before that, there was only one in the entire Datang. It was given by

Yonganhou when Yan Shaoning, the son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of

Industry, got married. I did not expect that now we Wang Cishi's wedding,

Yonganhou would also send one. The last time I saw it, it was really no

regrets in this life!"

"Eh? No, have you just noticed that the governor of Governor Shi said that Ms.

Li Jia is the righteous sister of Yong'an Hou?"

"Yes, yes! I heard it too!"

"When did Miss Li Jia become Yong'an Hou's righteous sister?"

"Hey! Someone said that Miss Li's and Wang Cishi's improper households were

wrong. Let me see who dares to say that now?"

"Yes! Ms. Li and Wang Cishi are obviously right, good-looking women, who dares

to say that they don't match well in the future, see if I don't tear them

apart!"

A month ago, Li Zexuan saved more than 100,000 acres of farmland in Qizhou,

which saved tens of thousands of people in Qizhou. In the hearts of Qizhou

people, Li Zexuan has become a lifesaver, so now I heard that Li Jingchu was

looking at Li Zexuan. Sister, Aiwu and Wuxia, they have also become respectful

and affectionate towards Li Jingchu, the bride!

This is Li Zexuan's reputation in Qizhou! Although he is not an official in

Qizhou, his reputation is not much worse than that of Wang Renbiao, the

governor of Qizhou!

"Sister?... Renbiao, when did I become Lord Hou's sister?"

While the people were talking and cheering, Li Jingchu, the party concerned,

was full of doubts. After crossing the rice bag with Wang Renbiao, she

couldn't help stopping, pulled the red silk in Wang Renbiao's hand, and asked

in a low voice.
