Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 734 Overjoyed
Today is a happy day in the Marquis Mansion. This kind of day is rare, so Dong Cheng took a day off and planned to stay in the Mansion to help Zhu Xiuyuan welcome guests from all over.

Dong Shuyu will also be sitting in the Hou Mansion today to provide overall command, and he will not go anywhere.

In fact, in order to prepare for the big event in the Hou Mansion, the Dong's Teahouse and Dong Yulou have not opened their doors for several days...

After breakfast, everyone started to get busy.

Wedding: The word "marriage" has a great origin. Marriage occurs at dusk, that is to say, the wedding ceremony is held at dusk in the afternoon.

After the wedding ceremony is over, you can enter the bridal chamber immediately.

From morning to dusk for the wedding, there is still a whole day, so we are still busy.

Dong Shuyu is the busiest. In addition to welcoming guests, everything in the entire Hou family will be gathered here and handled by her.

But fortunately, the big event has been prepared for many days. As of today, there is actually not much to do.

Furthermore, Dong Shuyu's personal maids, Chun Xue and Dong Mei, are not just people, they are the "strongest assistants".

Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan also started to get busy after breakfast.

Because there are guests coming to the door early in the morning, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng need to welcome and entertain these guests...

Of course, the highlight of today's big day is the bride, Dong Shuzhen.

At dawn, after having breakfast, Dong Shuzhen, served by two maids, took a bath, thoroughly cleansed her body, and then kneaded noodles and dressed up. She was very busy...

As time passed, the entire Shenleihou Mansion began to become lively.

Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan, who were responsible for welcoming guests, had just reached their busiest moment.

The first to arrive were the generals from the Divine Thunder Army, such as the deputy general of the Divine Thunder Army, Lin Bochang, and the staff generals Huang Zhigao, Wu Shaoguang, and Liu Anping.

Followed by Dong Cheng's subordinates in Runzhou government office.

The chief historian, Sima, and so on, almost everyone with names in the government office came.

Nuo is a large capital city, divided in half. It actually belongs to two counties, one is "Jiangning County" and the other is "Shangyuan County".These two counties are the so-called "Jing County".

The magistrate of Jingxian County is directly subordinate to Dong Cheng, the governor of Runzhou Prefecture.

As a result, the magistrates of the two capital counties, each leading a group of county officials, also came.

Among them, Li Linzhou, the magistrate of Jiangning County, was Dong Cheng's brother-in-law and could be considered a member of his own family.

Therefore, Li Linzhou also joined the ranks of welcoming guests and sharing some of the pressure for Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan.

Dongcheng, the Runzhou Prefecture, has not only two capital counties under its jurisdiction, but also Jurong County, Yanling County, Qu'a County, Dantu County, etc. besides the capital city.

The magistrates of these counties also came with their subordinates. This was another large group of people...

The next guests, a group of young masters headed by Liu Wencai, as well as scholars, also came to congratulate.

Needless to say, Liu Wencai, as Zhu Xiuyuan's only friend of the same age, naturally wanted to come.

Moreover, the great joy of the Hou Mansion is the biggest excitement in the capital, and Liu Wencai must come.

As for the rest of the young masters and scholars, they were either joining in the fun, or came spontaneously to express gratitude for what the God of Thunder had done for the Chen Kingdom...

After receiving these guests, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng were very busy.

But it has only been more than an hour. According to the lunch meal, half of the time has passed.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Xiuyuan and the others started busy again.

The next guests are all wealthy businessmen in the city and ordinary people who have received invitations... These people are specially used to "recharge" and are not very important.

But the visitor was a guest, and Zhu Xiuyuan gave him a brief reception...

Time flies by in the busyness, and in a blink of an eye, the sun has reached the position above the head, and it is noon.Zhu Xiuyuan and the others had been picking up guests all morning, and they were very tired.

Their "result" is the more than 2000 guests now waiting to be fed in the Hou Mansion!

That's right, in one morning alone, more than 2000 guests came to the Hou Mansion.

Among them, most of them are "rich" wealthy businessmen and ordinary people. They come in the morning, which can be said to respect the Shen Leihou Mansion, or to have lunch.

Zhu Xiuyuan is not afraid of them.

What he needs is a lively scene.

Moreover, with the current financial resources of the Hou Mansion, even if it provides food and drink for the people in the city, it can barely do it...

Of course, because the main event is in the afternoon at dusk, those heavyweight guests usually come in the afternoon, and the more important guests will be delayed in arriving.

In other words, in the afternoon, the guests welcomed in the Hou Mansion are the real distinguished guests.

Amid the excitement, the luxurious flowing seats provided by the Hou Mansion began!

More than 200 guests sat on more than [-] large round tables!
It is actually a huge project to feed so many people at the same time, and the food must be of high quality!

Fortunately, Dong Yulou, who is famous all over the capital, is the property of Hou Mansion. The chef of Dong Yulou, plus the chef of Hou Mansion, plus some invited from outside restaurants, are always enough.

"For today's flowing banquet, the Hou Mansion closed down Dong Yulou and hired many cooks from restaurants outside... As expected of the Shen Lei Hou Mansion, the move is indeed extraordinary!"

In a courtyard of the Hou Mansion, dozens of large round tables were set up and filled with guests. One of them was filled with emotion.

"Who says no? Don't even think about it. This morning alone, how many guests came to the Hou's mansion! There are more than two thousand people! To serve more than two thousand people, don't you need hundreds of chefs?"

"Haha, we are so lucky. Whether it is the chef of Dong Yulou, the original chef of the Hou Mansion, or the chefs of other restaurants, the dishes they cook are difficult for ordinary people like me to eat..."

"Not only that, the Hou Mansion is so kind that they don't accept our congratulatory gifts. Hey, if other families hold wedding banquets and don't accept congratulatory gifts, I will definitely think that they look down on us. But the Hou Mansion is different..."

Clap clap clap!

Clap clap clap!

While everyone was chatting, suddenly at a certain moment, bursts of thunder were heard from outside the courtyard.

The sound of thunder was continuous and powerful, as if it were shaking mountains. It seemed that the big round table was shaking with it... This kind of power was about to burst the eardrums, far more shocking than ordinary thunder.

It's like a heavy hammer hitting the heart.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, motionless, listening carefully, and seemed to be frightened.

The sound of thunder continued for a while, then gradually weakened until it disappeared.

The entire courtyard was quiet, but there was a roar in everyone's ears. It seemed that the thunder was still going on and no other sounds could be heard... This was tinnitus.

"That was...what was that?" After a long time, someone finally reacted.

"It's so scary. I'm not afraid of your jokes. Just now I thought... the sky was falling apart!"

"Don't you all know, that is a treasure that only the Shenleihou Mansion has!" After all, there is someone who understands.

"What baby? It's so scary. My legs are still shaking..."

"Look at your potential!" The sensible man raised his head and said, "The bursts of thunder just now were caused by a new weapon called 'firecrackers'. This kind of firecrackers can be used to kill invading enemies." , can also be used to celebrate happy events!”

"Oh, I just remembered it. A few dozen days ago, the capital city was in crisis, and the Divine Thunder Marquis guarded the Juxian Gate. That night, there were several thunderstorms like this..."
