Chapter 591 The Wedding Banquet
Twenty-fourth of the twelfth lunar month.

Zhu Hao's wedding day.

Early in the morning, Zhu Hao put on his formal attire and went to meet his relatives.

The horse-drawn carriage drove through the streets and alleys, and the people around heard that the number one scholar was getting married, and they meant "the big one after the big one", so they wanted to come up and enjoy the joy, so that more and more people gathered around to watch.

Arrived at the Sun Mansion.

There is no obstacle at all, the ceremony of marriage these days is mainly carried out at the husband's house, and the woman's sending her daughter out is basically equivalent to pouring out water.

In addition, the capital city was not Sun Jiao's hometown, so Sun Jiao didn't show up in front of people that day.

A young woman with a graceful figure was not wearing a bright red brocade dress, but mainly blue and white with some red dots, and the hijab on her head was bright red. She was carried by her natal mother-in-law to the front of the carriage without touching her feet. into the carriage compartment.

After all, the Sun family was a rich family, and there was a maid as a dowry. She looked very delicate, and she got into the carriage with her own lady.

There is no such thing as a sedan chair. These days travel is mainly in horse-drawn carts and ox carts. Non-official families do not take sedan chairs, even if they are married.

After receiving the kiss, they headed for the way home.

When Zhu Hao returned home, firecrackers blared at the door, and many colleagues from the Imperial Academy came to attend Zhu Hao's wedding, while only Tang Yin came as a representative from Xing Wang Mansion.

This was also what Zhu Hao had ordered in advance.

If no one from Prince Xing's residence came, it would appear to be a cover-up. Anyway, he has declared that he has a nominal teacher-student relationship with Tang Yinnai. Even if he is a "political enemy" in the court, it is reasonable for his husband to come to the student's wedding.

As for the officials in the Xingwang Mansion...

There were too many people who wanted to come, and Zhu Hao didn't agree to any of them.

But Tang Yin brought an "entry" to come.

Lu Song.

The name of Lu Song's attendance at the meeting was not to attend the wedding, but to accompany Tang Yin. In this way, Zhu Hao's best "buddies" in Anlu, except for Jiang Lun who couldn't come because of his special status, the other two are here.

Yang Shen, as the chief assistant of the dynasty Yang Tinghe and the representative of the Hanlin Academy, kept looking at Tang Yin after seeing Tang Yin.

But looking at it, I don't think so.

……

……

The wedding takes place.

Bless heaven and earth.

Zhu Niang sat alone on the main seat, and Zhu Hao and his new wife kowtowed to her and offered tea.

After all the etiquette is over, the bride is accompanied by the dowry maid, and is sent to the bridal chamber to wait under the guidance of her husband's maid...that is, Xiao Bai.

Zhu Hao will come out to host the banquet.

Zhu Hao began to toast, no matter what, he had to respect Tang Yin who was the teacher in name first.

Tang Yin picked up the wine glass and said: "Zhu Hao, now that you have a family and a career, even though you are not yet a weak crown, you should make a statement. I discussed with the Lingtang for a while, and I took the title of 'Qixian, who can respect and inherit Yu's way'." I mean, from now on your word will be 'Jingdao'."

When Zhu Hao heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Tang Yin hadn't discussed this with him in advance. The obedient meaning meant that when Tang Yin and Zhu Niang came to attend the wedding, they agreed on his name?

Zhu Jingdao?
What kind of expression is this?
Why don't you tell me about such a big thing?
Why don't you take "Xian Ji" or "Jing Cheng" instead of "respecting Tao"?

Does it mean that you want me to follow the way of a monarch and a minister, let me be a good courtier with peace of mind, and don't do that presumptuous thing?You, Tang Bohu, are very good at adding drama to yourself, don't you know that?

Zhu Hao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Yang Shen who was sitting next to him.

Yang Shen didn't suspect anything.

Tang Yin represents the new emperor.

Generally speaking, if Zhu Hao seeks refuge with the new emperor, then the new emperor's people should avoid today's wedding, instead of sending Tang Yin to give Zhu Hao some name, so that he seems to be Zhu Hao's elder.

The more it was like this, the more artificial it seemed, the more it meant that there was nothing wrong between Zhu Hao and Tang Yin.

After the toast, Yang Shen chose to go with Zhu Hao, as if he had an unusually close relationship with Zhu Hao.

After a round of wine toasts, Zhu Hao actually didn't drink much. He basically toasted with tea. Even if it's a wedding day these days, most people can still understand the groom's need for a bridal chamber wedding. As long as they say hello in advance, they won't drink casually , otherwise the good things at night will not be able to happen.

There were also people who drank heavily at noon and took a nap in the afternoon before bridal chambers with flowers and candles in the evening. But as Hanlin, accompanied by Yang Shen, the representative of Yang Tinghe, Zhu Hao wanted to replace wine with tea, and no one dared to force him.

……

……

After a round of toasting, Zhu Hao and Yang Shen walked towards the main table.

Many people in the yard wanted to come over to toast Zhu Hao, but in fact they wanted to build a relationship with Yang Shen.

There were a lot of guests, but the bride's natal family would not come, and none of the old lady of the Zhu family and other people in the other rooms were there. Among the many guests, the neighbors were the main ones, but they were all sitting in the side seats. Most of Zhu Hao was not there. To get to know each other is to take the opportunity to come over to enjoy Wen Quxing's wedding wine.

As for the colleagues of the Imperial Academy, they basically sat at the main table and the surrounding tables.

There are also Anlu's gentry, merchants, fellow scholars in Beijing, etc. These people are scattered around the main table, getting up from time to time, picking up the wine glass to toast the groom, but they are directly blocked back.

"It seems that you, sir, think highly of you."

Yang Shen said something intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhu Hao looked around and saw a group of people wearing official uniforms, holding wine jugs and wine glasses, separating the main table from other tables. When others came to toast, they drank a toast on behalf of the groom, but they had to be close to Zhu Hao and Yang. However, it was absolutely impossible for Shen. He only found out after asking Yang Shen that it turned out that it was the low-level officials from Shuntian Mansion, Daxing County, and Wanping County who were specially invited by Yang Shen to make a grand occasion.

Zhu Hao was actually quite depressed. Most of the people he knew didn't come to a wedding, and most of the people who came were strangers to him. It was like attending someone else's wedding.

"Oh, maybe."

Zhu Hao smiled.

No need to explain.

On the day I get married, won't you, Yang Shen, want to discuss my relationship with Tang Yin with me?
Go back to the main seat and sit down. Lu Song, who had left temporarily before, also came back, but did not take his seat.

Lu Song, as a thousand households of Jin Yiwei, even though he was not wearing an official uniform, was still quite bluffing because he was wearing a knife at his waist. It was Yu Chengxun who helped preside over the toasting table before.

"Ha, just as I was talking, I'm back."

Yu Chengxun walked up to Yang Shen, almost whispering into his ears, "Lu Song, Jinyiwei Qianhu, be careful."

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Lu Qianhu, you were not there when the toast was made earlier, what's the matter?"

Lu Song said: "That's how it is. Young Master Jiang is outside, saying that he is bringing you some wedding presents for His Majesty, can you go out and greet him personally?"

Yang Shen couldn't help being startled when he heard this.

Several people at the main table also looked at each other in blank dismay.

Even if Zhu Hao is the number one scholar, there is no reason why the emperor specially sent someone to congratulate him when he got married.

Everyone wondered in their hearts, what is the relationship between this Zhu Hao and the new emperor?Why did the new emperor give Zhu Hao a gift?Is it because they are fellow countrymen?

The fellows present at the Imperial Academy, except Yang Shen, Yu Chengxun, and Fei Maozhong, only knew that Zhu Hao was from Anlu, but they didn't know that Zhu Hao had studied in Xing Wangfu.

Zhu Hao said: "How can Lu Qianhu discuss such matters? I should go out to greet you!"

……

……

It can be said that the emperor came to send Zhu Hao a wedding gift, which can be said to be a big event.

After someone came out to announce the matter, all the guests at the meeting couldn't care less about eating, and they all stood up, wanting to see for themselves whether it was true.

soon.

Jiang Lun led a large number of Jinyi guards into the courtyard and brought several large boxes.

After Jiang Lun saw Zhu Hao and the others, he bowed his hands and said, "Officer groom, congratulations on the wedding. This is a gift from His Majesty, and I hope you can accept it."

Because Jiang Lun didn't invite any imperial decree, and didn't even bring a verbal order, Zhu Hao didn't need to greet him with a big ceremony.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Zhu Hao bowed his hands and returned the gift.

Jiang Lun laughed and said, "Mr. Tang is here too? Can I ask for a glass of water and wine?"

Immediately from Zhu Hao's side, people from Sandai came out and carried away several boxes. Those who were waiting to see the big show felt very disappointed when they saw that this person who came to give gifts on behalf of the emperor was so greedy and didn't have any pretensions of an imperial envoy.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Since Uncle Jiang is here, let's have a few drinks together. This is the seat..."

Yu Chengxun said casually from the side: "Ha, I happen to be punching and drinking with my colleagues here, so I will let this uncle Jiang."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Jiang Lun was originally excluded from the wedding, and suffered for a few days, but now he finally seized the opportunity to drink, and he seemed extremely excited.

……

……

After sitting down, Jiang Lun seemed to be acquainted, and he got close to Zhu Hao when he came up.

"Zhu Hanlin, at the beginning I said that you are heroic. You see that there are so many people in our Xingwang Mansion, you are the only one who is promising! It seems that Jinghong doesn't have the noble spirit of you." Jiang Lun drank a few cups of yellow soup Belly, as if he was very familiar with Zhu Hao, he just chatted away.

The people around the Hanlin Academy were stunned when they heard this.

Zhu Hao is actually from Xing Wangfu?

Still familiar with Jiang Lun?
Is this Zhu Hao's background so strong?

A member of the new emperor's faction, but also so close to Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen?

But the key is...

Zhu Hao took the lead in opposing the matter of the Great Rites before.

What exactly is going on?

Zhu Hao smiled and said nothing, he didn't even want to pay attention to Yang Shen's expression.

"Meng Zai, you drank too much."

Tang Yin reminded.

"No, no, I didn't drink too much at all. I came here to congratulate you on behalf of your majesty, and your majesty also said that he would marry the eldest princess to you..."

Jiang Lun seemed to open up a chatterbox.

"what?"

The people around were shocked when they heard it.

Princess?
who?

I heard that the emperor seems to have sisters, more than one, but because the new emperor adopted the name of Da Zong, are those sisters considered "princess princesses"?

Zhu Hao frowned slightly, and said, "Uncle Jiang, what exactly do you want to say?"

"No, I just congratulate you. You must serve His Majesty well when you are in court." Jiang Lun said with a smile.

Yang Shen snapped: "We are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, how could we not serve the imperial court?"

Not mentioning serving His Majesty, but only serving the court, Yang Shen probably couldn't see Jiang Lun's deliberate provocative attitude.

Knowing that I'm sitting next to you, you still say this on purpose, are you deliberately finding fault?
If you want to play tricks in front of me, you're too young!

Tang Yin couldn't listen any longer, got up and said: "It's getting late, it's time to go back, Meng Zai will go with me."

"What's the rush?"

When Jiang Lun heard this, he became anxious, "I can't usually drink such good wine. Besides, how often do I treat people poorly when I build up the palace? Zhu Hanlin, you are the one who built the palace!"

Jiang Lun seemed to be going crazy with alcohol.

Tang Yin hurriedly called Lu Song, pulled Jiang Lun up by force, and the three of them left the wedding banquet together.
