Qizhou Governor's Mansion.
At this moment, 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, is married. Who would dare not come to Qizhou officialdom?
Not only the officialdom, but also the wealthy businessmen and gentry in Qizhou, they all squeezed their heads to participate in this wedding banquet. After all, Wang Renbiao is the "boss" of the Qizhou land boundary, and the 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, you will be fully developed!
So even if many people can’t get invitations, they still lick their faces to give gifts. They want to be familiar with Wang Renbiao, Wang Yu, and Princess Tongan. No matter how bad they are, it’s good to have a good relationship. of!
However, as the family of the previous year, the Wang family is naturally not short of money, so in terms of gifts, those guests who are not close to the Wang family will not accept their gifts! If you come to celebrate Wang Renbiao's wedding, you are welcome. You can eat the water table outside the governor's house, but you want to take this opportunity to bribe Wang Renbiao with a heavy gift. I'm sorry, this gift is not accepted by the Wang family!
This rule was set by Wang Yu. Nowadays, the family is in a precarious manner. The five surnames and Qiwang have gone to the third. Now there are only four of the seven families, including the Li Tang royal family. Now Wang Renbiao and Wang Yu are both imperial courts. Officials, Wang Yu is quite cautious in terms of style! In his view, the Wang family has a wealth of past and last years, and has never been short of money? There is no need to let the censors grab their handle for this petty profit!
Be aware 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 valuable gifts for his big wedding. Qizhou is not rich, and most officials can only live on the royal salary (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!
So when he sent people to distribute invitations to officials in various counties in Qizhou, Wang Renbiao asked his servants to clearly inform them that people can come, but no gifts are accepted!
This style of behavior naturally won unanimous praise from officials in the Qizhou officialdom. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the local officials were relatively clean. It cannot be said that there were no corrupt officials, but the proportion of corrupt officials was absolutely very small. Most officials They are relatively clean. 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 his superior , Offend the Wang Family? But if this gift is too expensive, your own wallet is not allowed! This is really a dilemma!
So 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 on the streets outside the governor’s mansion, and the table will be placed for three days. All people can come and eat for free.
This is Wang Renbiao's handwriting!
Last year, when Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi got married, 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 they went). Now that Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu are getting married, Wang Renbiao naturally wants to make it lively, because Li Jingchu has suffered too much for him, and he wants to make up for her!
"The bride is here! The bride is here!"
At three quarters, the welcoming team finally returned. The crowd outside the governor's mansion voluntarily gave way. Wang Renbiao rolled over and got off his horse, pulling Li Jingchu out of the carriage. Looking at the couple, the people onlookers and the guests from the Governor’s Mansion could not help but admire:
"Wang Cishi was young and handsome, this Miss Li family is beautiful, but she is a perfect couple!"
"Who said no? This bride and groom are so good match!"
"Ms. Li's family belongs to 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! Yes, yes!"
Some people praise and bless from the bottom of their hearts, and naturally there are some who speak cool words, but these cool words only dare to whisper in the 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 the Patriarch of the Wang Family and Princess Tongan came from Suizhou a thousand miles away from Suizhou just to break up their pair!"
"Then why are they still together now?"
"You don't know this, right? It is said that..."
Faced with 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 be discouraged by others' opinions. Increase trouble!
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 aloud and said: "Yufeng raised his feet to the fire, and hides on both sides of the fierce spirit and evil spirits. Happy landing in the blessing nest, good days are booming! The newcomer crosses the brazier——"
"A piece of sandalwood wood, carved into a jade saddle, the newcomer stepped over, step by step to ensure safety. The newcomer straddled the saddle--"
"One generation wins with food and wear. Newcomers cross rice bags--"
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 essential part of the wedding. One is to show the man’s family contacts, and the other is right. A kind of respect from the guests who come to give gifts!
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 gifts. They are not here to congratulate Wang Renbiao on the 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, their gift is still to be received. After all, this is a courtesy exchange 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 him with a gift of 400,000 yuan, a pair of red gold inlaid treasure buckles, a pair of white jade mandarin duck buckles, and a golden 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 and gave one hundred thousand yuan, a pair of white jade mandarin ducks and a jade Buddha~!"
"Mr. Zhang Jing, the student of Suizhou Prefecture, came to congratulate him and gave him 30,000 yuan, a copy of the Four Treasures of the First Class Scholars, and a copy of the Calligraphy Sage King Youjun~!"
"Mr. He Wenqing, the student of Xiangzhou Prefecture, came to congratulate him and gave him 30,000 yuan, and a rubbing copy of "Pu Qin Tu"~!"
("The Picture of the Qin" was made by the Eastern Jin painter Gu Kaizhi, and his representative work is "The Picture of Luoshen")
Most of these people at the top of the gift list are local officials in Suizhou or near Suizhou. Of course, there are 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 Of course the Wang family has to accept the gifts!
Among these gifts, there are gold and silver jewelry, as well as celebrity calligraphy and paintings. 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 government. Mr. Xue, it's hard to talk about being rich and wealthy!
It’s not surprising that the people and guests who know the inside story of the 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. Ten thousand dollars is only more than one hundred consistent. For a thousand-year-old family like the Wang family, it is completely trivial!
But soon, the "local tyrant" that everyone was looking forward to came:
"Fan Yang Lu's Lu Chengqing came to congratulate him, giving away four million yuan, four gold collars, six silver collars, one golden phoenix with a lot of beads, one golden hairpin with double-luan and a golden phoenix with pearls A pair of hairpins, a pair of dotted green inlaid Hetian white jade and phoenix bird hairpins, and a pair of dotted cuilai silk phoenix hairpins~!"
"Li Jingxuan, Li's family of Zhaojun, came to congratulate him with a gift of four million yuan, a pair of white jade mandarin duck buckles, four pairs of silk beeswax turquoise gowns with beads, two small swords with jade handle and ivory handle, four golden collars, Six silver collars~!"
The crowd suddenly exclaimed:
"Hey~! 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 is how the Wang family can have this influence!"
While everyone was discussing, I just listened to the Governor General Shi continued to read aloud:
"Chang'an Yongan Hou sent someone to congratulate his sister and Wang Cishi for 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. A pair of golden phoenix hairpins with pearls, a pair of white jade and phoenix bird hairpins with dotted green inlays, a Qiquge carriage, three second-generation bicycles, and a special electric car made by the Qiquge workshop~!"
More than a month ago, there were large locusts in Guanzhong, and the land of Qizhou was also affected by the locust plague. When Li Zexuan led the Tianji brigade northward, he passed Qizhou. Within a few days, he removed the locusts in the farmland of Qizhou. After all, the people of Qizhou all read Li Zexuan's goodness. Now, after hearing the three words Yonganhou pronounced by the governor of Governor Shi, how can the people and guests in the mansion not be shocked? 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? Wing Hou also 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, but now it seems to be true!"
"In that case, wouldn't the people of Qizhou also be blessed? Yongan Hou Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce has a lot of novelties? I don't know if I can open a branch in Qizhou then!"
"Who said that there are no branches? The carriages sold in the car dealership in Miss Li's house were shipped from the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce!"
"Is this still happening?"
"Tsk! Eight million dollars! How much 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!"
"The 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'anhou is, you will get three cars as soon as you get it! This is actually nothing, the most precious 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 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 big iron box~ IndoMTL .com~ People sitting inside, no need for livestock to pull, no need to pedal, the car can go automatically, it’s amazing!"
"Woo~! Is there such a car in this world?"
"Well! Before that, there was only one car in the entire Datang. It was given by Yonganhou when Yan Shaoning, son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, got married. Unexpectedly, now we are married to Wang Cishi, Yonganhou will also send one. If you can see it with your own eyes, you will have no regrets in this life!"
"Eh? No, have you just noticed that the governor of Governor Shi said that Miss Li is the righteous sister of Yonganhou?"
"Yes, yes! I heard it too!"
"When did Miss Li's family become Yonganhou's righteous sister?"
"Hey! Someone said that Ms. 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 clearly right and beautiful. Who dares to say that they are not suitable in the future, let me not tear their mouths!"
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 is Look at Li Zexuan Yimei, Aiwu and Wuxia, they also respect and love 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 Wang Renbiao, the governor of Qizhou!
"Sister? Wang... 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 and pulled the red silk in Wang Renbiao's hand, whispering Asked.
