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.
