Datang Nongwang

Chapter 355 The Big Wedding
On the power of gunpowder.

Li Chongyuan is of course the clearest.

although.

Li Chongyuan didn't know how to make more powerful firearms.

But with what he has seen and heard in his previous life, as long as he has money and time, everything is possible.

in this era.

There is no shortage of smart people, and there is no shortage of people willing to take the time to research.

Even if the theoretical knowledge is not enough, or the professional knowledge is not enough.

As long as Li Chongyuan mentions the general situation of firearms, he will be able to produce a big killer within a few years.

Just that.

Li Chongyuan can completely believe it.

That night.

Li Chongyuan even dragged Wan'er to his room, talking about the power of gunpowder.

The girl was so scared that she kept covering her mouth, staring at her fourth brother in horror.

"So, you must not mention gunpowder to anyone, even A Niang, remember?" Li Chongyuan and Wan'er talked until the end of the Xu Dynasty.

By this time.

How could Wan'er not know the importance of gunpowder, she nodded repeatedly, "Fourth brother, I remember."

"Well, just remember it. Later, when I'm free, I'll try to make you some fireworks. I don't know if it will work." Seeing that the girl finally had a frightened expression, Li Chongyuan was very relieved. up.

But when Li Chongyuan exported the fireworks, Wan'er immediately asked nervously: "Fourth brother, can fireworks kill people? Can they also take the heads of people thousands of miles away?"

"That's right. Fireworks are just good-looking things, and they can't kill people. Of course, if there is an explosion under the circumstances of a large amount, it will cause countless deaths and injuries." Seeing that the girl was so nervous, Li Chongyuan hurriedly explained. .

When Wan'er heard that fireworks are just something to look at, she immediately patted her chest, as if she was comforting herself.

As for how good the fireworks are to see.

For her who had never seen fireworks, she had no sense at all.

Furthermore.

Wan'er was brought up by Li Chongyuan to become a little person who is moving in the direction of pragmatism. She doesn't care about what looks good or not.

Good looks are of no use to her.

Delicious and fun, maybe it can even arouse her mind.

After the in-depth conversation between the two brothers and sisters.

Wan'er became honest.

Even the catapult cannonball she said she was going to make, she didn't think about it anymore.

to this end.

Li Chongyuan was also happy to see him when he arrived.

a few days later.

The family started to get busy.

This made Li Chongyuan wonder if something good happened to his family when he woke up early in the morning.

Then he stopped the housekeeper who passed by him, "Housekeeper, what's the matter today? I see that everyone in the house is busy, cleaning and making arrangements."

"Xiao Langjun, have you forgotten? It's only a few days before the Shangyuan Festival, and the house will naturally be cleaned again. Besides, the Shangyuan Festival is Dalang's wedding day, which is even more important. It's the most important thing, happiness comes with happiness." Seeing Li Chongyuan's confused state, the butler happily explained to Li Chongyuan.

After finishing speaking, the butler didn't wait for Li Chongyuan to be in a daze, and hurried away happily.

But Li Chongyuan stood there in a daze.

After a long time down.

Only then did Li Chongyuan remember that his eldest brother was getting married.

and.

Years ago.

The old lady once said this, saying that they will get married in a month.

After thinking about this, Li Chongyuan immediately jumped three feet high, clapped his hands happily and said: "So the eldest brother is getting married, haha, it seems that our family will be lively in the future."

When Li Chongyuan was happy.

The old lady is making a fuss at the moment.

"Xuan'er, take these and go to the palace quickly, Xu'er, take these and go to the various mansions." The old lady assigned tasks to the two.

After they got the word, they took their things and ran out of the house.

The old lady watched her two sons go to work, and she was walking up and down the hall, as if thinking about what happened to her.

Wan'er woke up.

Also like Li Chongyuan, his eyes were darkened and he was very confused.

Wan'er yawned and walked towards the front yard, just in time to meet Li Chongyuan, "Fourth brother, is there any happy event today? I was woken up."

"You girl, elder brother is going to get married on the Lantern Festival, have you forgotten?" Li Chongyuan didn't think about his stupidity just now.

That's great, and I even talked about teaching my little sister.

After Wan'er heard what her fourth brother said, she was taken aback for a moment, then ignored her fourth brother and trotted towards the hall.

like.

Overjoyed.

Li Chongji is getting married.

This joy, of course, has to be distributed everywhere.

at this time.

The palace got the letter from Li Chongxuan.

After Li Shimin and Empress Changsun had seen it, they happily sent the palace servants to see the gift that had been prepared long ago.

And the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, after receiving Li Chongxuan's letter, also ordered the palace servants to prepare gifts.

As for the others.

Most of them got book cards and sent people to prepare gifts.

The gifts prepared by these royal people are family gifts.

after all.

This is Li's clan, Li Chongji got married.

As members of the Li family, no matter what kind of gift they prepare, the gift will not be too bad.

On the other hand, look at the honorable officials in the various lifangs in Chang'an.

When they got the invitation from Li Chongxu, they were also happy to see it.

"The eldest son of Mrs. Xiangjun's family is finally getting married." In Wei Zheng's residence, Wei Zheng's wife said after reading the invitation.

Wei Zheng, who was sitting by the side, was reading a book in one hand. You seemed to have known the news for a long time. He turned around and said, "This Li Chongji is going to get married, and the other two members of the Li family are probably also married. Soon."

"Yes, I remember that Chongxuan and Chongxu have passed their age long ago. If the boss hadn't dragged him along, they might have had heirs. Sigh, thinking of what happened back then, this Li family boss can be regarded as A long-term lover, I am sorry for that little lady." Wei Zheng's wife let out a long sigh.

After hearing this, Wei Zheng shook his head lightly.

Regarding what happened to Li Chongji back then, they could only sigh.

the next day.

Hejian County Prince's Mansion sent some people over.

Rencheng Palace also sent some people over.

Even the palace sent some people over.

These people were instigated by their respective masters, and when they came to their masters, they said they were here to help.

in fact.

Although there are not many servants in the family, they are still busy enough.

"Old madam, the empress said that Li Yushi's marriage is a great and joyful event, and it was done in a hurry. The empress was afraid that there were too few people in the house, so she sent us to help, and it happened to be a good time." A female official said. As soon as I came to my home, I made it clear to the old lady.

The old lady nodded happily, "Queen Renyi, although I don't have many servants here, they are enough. However, since you are here, you can make more preparations."

Many people came to help.

Then this scene naturally became bigger and bigger.

It's time to prepare.

In fact, years ago, the old lady had already prepared it.

These people came to help, it was just doing what they could.

For example, a series of bedding, or house decoration and so on.

Another two days later.

That is, the morning of Shangyuan Festival.

Li Chongyuan got up just after dawn.

In the past, he had never stopped exercising, but today Li Chongyuan directly chose to stop for a day.

Qi Huo, who had already been waiting outside the house, saw Li Chongyuan come out of the house, and said in a low voice: "Little Lang, I have prepared the clothes for you. After a while, Xiao Lang washes up and then puts on again. Let's go home again."

"Okay, I see, you have prepared everything for me, remember everyone should dress me festively, tell me, everyone must give me some energy today, don't lose face of my Li family After hearing the words, Li Chongyuan yelled and went to wash up.

On the county government.

Li Chongyuan generally does not need others to serve him.

Or it's because Li Chongyuan is used to the principle of doing things by himself.

and so.

Basically, no one served Li Chongyuan.

Moreover.

When he was in Li Zhuang, Li Chongyuan took care of everything.

My elder brother got married.

It is impossible for him, Li Chongyuan, to live in this house.

and.

From today onwards, it is estimated that the chances of living in this family will be few and far between.

There is a saying.

With an extra sister-in-law, it would be difficult for him, Li Chongyuan, to live any longer.

According to the ancestral rules of the Li family, after being granted a title, he had to be separated from the family.

And because none of the four brothers of the Li family had married wives, Li Chongyuan lived in the same family from time to time, no one could say anything about it.

But once Li Chongji got married and married a wife.

If he, Li Chongyuan, was still living in his family, he would be laughed at, and there would even be a lot of gossip.

Mao Shizhong.

The door of Xiuzhenfang County Zifu was wide open.

Li Chongyuan was wearing the clothes of the noble title, and he left the county mansion with dozens or hundreds of people from the county mansion.

Dozens of hundreds of people were dressed festively, full of energy, and followed behind the carriage with their heads held high.

After half an hour.

Li Chongyuan and his party arrived at the home.

Shortly after.

The team headed by Li Chongji, the bridegroom officer, left from the home.

Go to Xinchangfang, which is near Yanxingmen in Dongcheng.

In this era.

Getting married requires three books and six rituals.

The three letters refer to the Letter of Appointment, Letter of Ceremony, and Letter of Welcome.

The letter of appointment was sent to the woman's home before the wedding day.

As for the book of ceremonies and the book of welcome, they are carried by the groom's official and handed over to the woman on the day of marriage.

of course.

There has to be a sequence.

This is not.

In the middle of the morning, before a large group of people arrived at a certain house in Xinchangfang, Steward Xiang took the gift book from Li Chongji, and handed it over to a female official.

This book of rituals has to be sung by the female official to the woman's family.

after all.

This marriage of Li Chongji was bestowed by the empress.

and so.

The ritual of singing the ceremony was naturally sent by the female officer sent by the queen.

"Today, the son of the Li family, Li Chongji, named Guangde, is twenty-three years old, married Lin Caishu, a daughter of the Lin family, and started with etiquette. Two hundred pieces of brocade, two hundred..."

With the female officer singing the ceremony began.

Everyone listened quietly.

The people around looked at this wedding ceremony with joy on their faces.

There is a saying.

If any family in Lifang is going to get married, there must be a wedding banquet.

Even if they are not qualified to participate in the wedding banquet, as soon as the wedding banquet is over, there will definitely be some delicious food from the host family.

even.

Copper coins will also be sprinkled along the way.

This is why all the people rejoice.

After the maiden chanted, Li Chongji got off his horse and walked towards the Lin family with a letter of welcome.

As soon as the welcome book enters the woman's hand.

This dear, even if it is only the last step.

Subsequently.

Things went smoothly.

At the end of the morning.

The bride finally left the woman's house, got into the carriage, and headed for Li's house.

Subsequently.

All kinds of ceremonial carriages came out of the Lin family.

All the way, blowing, blowing and beating caused the people who watched the excitement to stop and wait and see.

I was guessing in my heart, which nobleman was marrying a wife.

No one would doubt that it was concubinage.

after all.

Everyone knows that it is impossible for concubines to be so grand, and it is impossible to have so many welcoming teams and sending off teams.

What's more, it is impossible to have so many limousines.

On the limousine.

Carts of copper coins, cloth, etc., all kinds of things.

With such a family background, who might suspect that it is a concubine?
Shangyuan Festival.

It was a busy day.

On the day of Shangyuan Festival.

It can be said that all the people in Chang'an City will come out of their homes to play.

because.

This day is the last day after the curfew in Chang'an City.

and.

At night, there will be a variety of lanterns to watch.

Also just right.

You can see such a grand welcoming team.

And this time.

It's not just Li Chongji who gets married.

In Chang'an City, there are also two families who are marrying wives.

noon.

There are many tables and chairs in the house of the family and the street where the family is located.

Even the tables and chairs in the Yingbin Building were moved here.

On such a good day, Yingbin Building will naturally be closed for a day.

All kinds of delicacies were brought to the table from the back kitchen.

This made all the neighbors in the Lifang where our family is located smell this fragrance and wonder in their hearts when the wedding banquet will end.

And as time progresses.

Guests of all colors filled the door.

Those who received invitations and those who did not.

They all came to the outside of the street of our house.

Wan'er is like a meddlesome person at this time, going from here to there, and then from there to here.

At the end, she took her little sisters and hid in the backyard to introduce her treasures.

On the other hand, Li Chongyuan at this time.

But it became a welcome guest.

From the time the guests came to the door, the smile on Li Chongyuan's face never stopped.

This face is a little stiff with a smile.

"Su Guogong is here..."

"Duke Qi arrived..."

"The King of Shu has arrived..."

"..."

Li Chongyuan's voice was smoky when he greeted the guests, but the guests just kept coming.

originally.

This work has to be done by his younger brother.

On identity.

Li Chongxuan and Li Chongxu are Li Chongji's younger brothers.

And Li Chongyuan is just a younger brother born out of a concubine.

On status and official titles.

Li Chongyuan is only a county magistrate, so he can't compare with these two elder brothers.

Li Chongxuan and Li Chongxu naturally wanted to greet the guests.

this guest.

From the prince, to the county king, to some officials who didn't even have invitations in the future.

This made the tables and chairs in the family's house not enough.

Li Chongyuan could only rely on his status to instruct the housekeeper to manage affairs, and arranged these low-status people to sit on tables and chairs on the street outside the mansion.

As for the Supreme Emperor and the Holy Empress in the palace, they have already arrived at the Li family.

only.

They came a little quietly, without much fanfare, very low-key.

Li Chongji's big wedding, the Supreme Emperor, the Holy Majesty and the Empress all came, and this kiss has reached a climax.

Even such a scene is very rare in Chang'an City.

Even if it is common for the heirs of the princes to get married, these few people may not be there.
