The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 700 680 Nine: Changhong and his son thank the matchmaker, Wuji invites officials from all levels

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji and Chai Shao had just had breakfast and were about to go to the house of the third grandfather in Duanjiaji.

Duan Changhong and Duan Changhao came over under the leadership of their parents. When they came, they rushed to a carriage.

After entering the yard, Duan Changhao's father ordered his two sons to move things down. The things they brought down were two slaughtered sheep, two slaughtered pigs, two slaughtered fat geese, and two bags of children. dessert.

Duan Wuji understood at a glance, this is a gift from the matchmaker!

In the vicinity of Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi, it is generally said that if you become a matchmaker, the man will bring four gifts to thank the matchmaker!
There is a saying in this area, that is, after the matchmaking is completed, the man will bring four gifts to thank the matchmaker. If he does not thank the matchmaker, the matchmaker will be there after marriage.

Who in Taiyuan Prefecture doesn't know this custom!

Therefore, for thanking the matchmaker, no matter who it is, it must be thanked.

It's just that the family in this section has become a rich and powerful family, and the gift from the matchmaker is better than that of ordinary families.

After moving these things into the house, the father and son chatted with Duan Yanqing's family for a while before driving the carriage back.

Duan Wuji glanced at these things and said to Chai Shao: "Brother Chai, let's go, let's go there quickly! It's not good to be late!"

The two came to the third grandfather's house, only to see people everywhere in the yard!

People in this family, when they heard that the old Duan family was doing something, who wouldn't come to help!

Usually these people often come to this old Duan's house to borrow cattle for farming and food to eat. Now that they have weddings in their family, can these people not come!

Tieniu's family also came early, and everyone was busy helping and making arrangements!
Dahong's couplets and Dahong's happy words have been posted long ago, and the suona team at the gate has also arrived, and the sound of tick-tock suona is blowing non-stop.

Adding to this festive atmosphere, time is running out, and the lion juggling team has arrived, and the entire Duan family courtyard is full of joy and joy!

Duan Wuji and Chai Shao passed through the crowd, went straight to the new house and walked in.

I saw that there were so many people visiting the new house!People were walking in and out, all shocked by the luxury of the new house.

Most of these people are from poor families, who have never seen such a magnificent new house!

When Duan Changhong and his brothers saw Duan Wuji and Chai Shao approaching, they quickly served tea and water!

Duan Wuji waved his hand.

"Brother Changhong, Brother Changhao, forget it, we are not thirsty, you should go take care of other people!
Our two brothers will take care of ourselves, you should take care of other guests! "

The two brothers listened and nodded.

"Okay, then you can take care of yourselves! Then we two brothers will take care of other guests!

Anyway, there are a lot of guests today!There are so many people who need entertainment! "

After speaking, the two brothers turned and went out.

Before long, Duan Changhao's parents came in. Duan Changhao's father looked at Duan Wuji and asked, "I said Wuji! You see it's not too early now, you should also set up the wedding team."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "What's the matter! It's still hard to decide! Uncle, have you rented those two sedan chairs!"

"The bridal sedan chairs are rented. Each sedan chair carries eight large sedan chairs, and the dozen or so bearers have all arrived. There is no problem with this."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "It's fine if we rent this sedan chair! Is it difficult for other personnel to beat us!

I count as one, my brother Tieniu counts as one, and my brother Changqing counts as one, eh!My big brother Chai should also be counted as one!

Look at our family still has officials who are presenting ceremony!

Invite them here if you have any!Just say I have something to ask them.

In addition, prepare three tables of banquets in our main room, and I will entertain them later! "

Duan Changhao's father nodded.

"Alright then! I'll tell them to put the banquet on the table right away!
After a while they will come to the banquet!

Why!Old lady, call me Tieniu and Changqing immediately!
Most of the guests who came to our house today are people with official positions. Without them, wouldn't it look like our house is too shabby! "

Duan Changhao's old lady agreed to go out, and the time was not too long, so Tieniu and Duan Changqing came in one after another.

When the two saw Duan Wuji and Chai Shao in the room, they hurried over to chat with them!
The time is not too long, and the two sumptuous banquets will be served.

Duan Changhao and his son brought in more than a dozen officials at all levels in Shanxi!After everyone entered the room, they saw Duan Wuji and the others sitting on chairs!
These people were taken aback when they saw it!Most of these people don't know these four people, and they don't know the identities of these four people for a while!

Seeing the gorgeous clothes of these four people, don't dare to underestimate them!

When Duan Changhong saw them, he quickly introduced four people to officials at all levels.

Duan Changhong pointed at Duan Changqing.

"This is my elder brother Changqing. In a few days he will be the commander-in-chief of our Taiyuan Mansion!"

Then, Duan Changhong pointed at Duan Tieniu.

"This is my brother Tieniu. His current official position is the Duke of Jin, and he is responsible for commanding all the soldiers and horses in our Shanxi territory!"

Then, Duan Changhong pointed at Chai Shao.

"This is Mr. Chai, the young master of the Chai family in Taiyuan Prefecture, he is also the Duke of the state, the current son-in-law of our Tang Dynasty!"

Finally, Duan Changhong pointed at Duan Wuji.

"This is my brother Duan Wuji, he is a serious prince!

He is the King of Xiaoyao, the emperor has already been appointed, he does not need to join the emperor when he goes up to the palace, and he doesn't need to resign when he goes down to the palace.

He is also the young patriarch of my Duan family, the young head of my entire Duan family! "

When these officials heard this, they were immediately taken aback!

Xin said: We feel that our official position is not small. Compared with them, it is really a small official position.

The person with the smallest official position is also greater than his own official position!

These people glanced at each other, and when they were about to kneel down to salute, Duan Wuji waved his hand with a smile.

"My friends, forget it, everyone doesn't need to salute anymore!
Everyone who came here today is a distinguished guest of my old Duan's family!

This guest came, but asked the guest to kneel, what is this called!

Today we don't talk about the level of official positions, have you seen it?

The banquet has been set up, everyone hurry up and sit down!
Today we all have enough to eat and thirst, no one is welcome!

Everyone is full and drunk, I still have something to ask for your help in a while! "

But when the officials heard this, they didn't know what was going on with the prince!

However, since the prince has already spoken, how dare people not listen!

Everyone sat down and began to eat and drink.

Duan Wuji, Tie Shi, Chai Shao, and Duan Changqing, the four of them, became the caretakers of the guests.

The four kept pouring wine for the officials, urging them to eat and drink more!

With such a high-ranking superior pouring wine for himself, these officials suddenly became restrained.

Although everyone is also drinking, but no one is desperately drinking stupidly!

These people have been in the officialdom for a long time, and none of them are fools!

These people have almost drunk, no matter how much these four people persuade them, these people will stop drinking anyway.

A person who looked like a lieutenant general said: "My lord, we have had enough of this wine, we can't drink any more, won't we be drunk!
My lord, can you give me an order if you have anything to do? "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"That's good! Now that you're all done eating and drinking, then I'll say it."
