Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 690
After hearing the rating for Li Chun, Liu Mu thought about it.

"What if he builds a bridge over the Yangtze River?" Liu Mu asked back.

Cui Junsu stood up: "That is the upper-class nobleman, and I, Datang, will not be stingy with titles for such ghost workers."

Liu Mu shook his head, with a bitter smile: "Li Chun is old, maybe his apprentice will be able to do it in the future, and he probably won't have the chance to see it. A bridge built on the Yangtze River may be as old as ten years ago. Datang has this The ability is also decades away.”

Cui Junsu said very seriously: "Even if his apprentice is able to complete it 50 years later, Datang will chase him down."

"Yangtze River!" Liu Mu said with emotion.

Seeing Liu Mu's expression, everyone present believed that one day it would really be possible to build a bridge over the Yangtze River.

I just don't know if I can live to see this day.

Liu Zifang asked at this moment: "Then, how about the banquet?"

"Wait a little longer." After Cui Hong finished speaking, he stood up: "This old man begged for marriage on behalf of the Wang family, and our two families can come to one another to increase the marriage. There are children in the family who want to have more relatives with the Liu family, and we are happy together. I want to come to the Wang family I also intend to make more kisses, one more kiss."

"This is the honor of the Liu family."

Cui Hong smiled and said: "Then, let's start the banquet, so we won't get drunk tonight?"

"Open the banquet and set up wine."

When going out, Liu Mu asked Liu Zifang: "Uncle Zifang, why did you not mention or ask who was married in the last marriage?"

"It's just a marriage. The small marriage of the concubine is purely for the sake of auspiciousness and happiness. As for who it is, it doesn't matter. The Cui family is not bad in our house. It depends on choosing one person. After the New Year, we will formally Go propose marriage, and then choose one from the Cui family, it's that simple."

Liu Muxin said, isn't this a bit hurtful?

Who is this married?Don't know who you are marrying?
But Liu Muyu didn't mention a single word. It seems that this is a kind of marriage between the upper class nobles of the Tang Dynasty. It's pleasing to the eye.

Main hall banquet.

Those who are qualified to accompany the Liu family are carefully selected and well-known people.

In the side yard, young people from the Liu family who are not married stand in several rows, representing Liu Zifang from the Western Family and Liu Fan from the Eastern Family.The two looked serious, almost in the same movement, walking back and forth in front of these young people with their hands behind their backs.

"Recite the Book of Songs Qin Feng Chapter."

Everyone began to recite immediately, and after the eyes of the two swept over, they drove several people aside: "You are ignorant, step aside."

Then refer to someone at will, let the translation.

At this time, a servant puts the archery on the target, so that those who pass the test will compete in archery.

Fortunately, it is not necessary to arrange a name, but to screen out some that are too bad, and the rest of them changed into new clothes and entered the main hall one by one to greet the elders and then sat in the last seat.

The willow one is the main seat and the second seat.After Liu Zifang entered, he sat in Cui Junsu's main seat, and Liu Fan sat in Cui Hong's seat as a junior.The rest of the Cui family moved to the back row one by one.

Whoever the Cui family would choose among these young people in the front yard must be among these people.

Later, there will be a banquet session of poetry, books, rituals and music, depending on individual performance.

But the backyard exploded.

It is basically settled that Liu Xi will marry Cui's main wife's daughter.In fact, although they are clear candidates, the parties, like everyone else, have no choice at all.

Liu Shi absolutely dare not say a word.

He was washing and changing clothes, and he will enter the main hall in a quarter of an hour at most, and accompany Liu Chongchong to the table.During the banquet, some old exams from the Cui clan may be accepted, but basically this will not change.

In the hall, those young nephews of the Liu family who are not direct sons are also looking forward to their own fate.

Although they were selected to marry the concubine of the Wang family in Taiyuan, for them, this was already a fate that reached heaven in one step.

Backyards are different.

There is a person who wants to marry into the Taiyuan Wang family, which is a first-line marriage.This candidate is enough to break the face of several top concubines of the Liu family and marry Qiwang of the five surnames. Even the daughters of the famous Hedong Liu family deeply feel that this is a marriage.

As for the other, the concubine who is about to marry into the Qinghe Cui family, the competition is equally fierce.

Several ladies of the Liu family were turning around to seek advice from Dugu Lanruo, but Dugu Lanruo didn't say a word, and didn't even take a few bites of the food in front of her.

Suddenly, Liu Ruyun helped the table and stood up: "I choose Sister Yike, that's it."

The countless whispering voices in the backyard hall disappeared instantly.

At that moment, the faces of the two noble ladies of the Liu family were pulled down. Liu Ruyun had no room for her to talk about her seniority and status.

Why does she appoint the candidate.

But before the two could speak, Liu Ruyun quickly rushed to Dugu Lanruo's side: "Sister-in-law."

"That's all, it's up to you." Dugu Lanruo got up and walked out after speaking.

Without ordering at all, Yueming immediately went to find Liu Yike among the younger women sitting in the corner, and motioned her to go out with Dugu Lanruo immediately.

A quarter of an hour later, the vestibule.

A steward of the Liu family entered the main hall, and after saluting, he said: "Mr. Cui, Her Royal Highness Princess Changping is away. Let this old servant tell you about your old age. In Xingzhou and Qinghe, your old lady has given you great hospitality. I heard that you have arrived in Chang'an, and Her Highness the Princess has prepared a feast for you." A good bottle of wine will welcome you."

"I am honored, honored."

Everyone got up, Dugu Lanruo entered when Cui Hong greeted the front of the main hall.

After the two parties saluted according to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Yike brought the bottle of wine to Cui Hong.

The wine was poured into a pure white wine glass, the color of the wine was golden and translucent.

Liu Yike said at this time: "Golden pots hold wine with fragrance of bamboo leaves, ten cups and five cups are puzzling. After a hundred cups, you will start to go crazy, and every time you go crazy, you will be full of energy."

After reciting the poem, Liu can also retreat.

Dugu Lanruo also left after bowing.

After re-entering the table, Cui Junsu asked Liu Zifang: "Who is this girl?"

"My third brother's eldest daughter is waiting in her boudoir."

"Very good." Cui Junsu understood that Princess Changping chose someone for the Liu family and found an excuse for them to meet. If they are satisfied, the matter will be settled. If they are not satisfied, there are many ways to tactfully refuse.

Cui Hong drank the wine after listening to Liu Zifang's introduction to the person who delivered the wine, and praised it several times: "Good wine, good wine. It's a pity that I don't know what wine it is?"

Cui Hong's attitude is very important. If he drank and said thank you, then Cui Junsu would have to consider whether to refuse this matter.If you drink and praise the wine, it means that Cui Hong is satisfied.

Liu Mu said at this time: "This matter is interesting. I remember that when we were in Xingzhou, I heard that Fenjiu was good. I sent people to the ancient winery to purchase real high-quality Fenjiu. As a result, the wine that I went to purchase A few guys secretly drank half a jar on the way, and they are afraid of being punished when they come back, what should we do?"
