Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 498 Wedding (Part )

When the Fang family members who were waiting at the bride's side received the news that five clouds were accompanying the wedding procession, they were all filled with pride.

Even though Fang Ce, who always says that he should remain calm, couldn't hide his excitement at this moment.

What is this called?
This is called pomp! This is pomp!
How could the son-in-law of the Fang family be compared to an ordinary man? Even the great immortal master came to join the team to welcome the bride. I'm afraid that even the royal family doesn't have such a big face!
The royal family really doesn't have that much face.

Empress Wu Xiuqing, who was from the "mother's family", was also stunned by the news. When she married the emperor, only the great immortal master of Qishuhai showed up. How could there be such a grand ceremony and scenery as today?

Putting aside the level and specifications of the etiquette, just talking about the rarity of the ceremony, today's wedding was more grand than any other emperor of the Hongwu dynasty in terms of the bride's reception.

Before long, even if one was standing in the courtyard of the Fang Mansion, one could see five groups of clouds floating in the air, and on the clouds were immortal masters with extraordinary auras.

Wu Xiuqing thought that if the other party knew that the queen was here, they would at least come down to say hello. But in fact, they didn't. All the immortal masters ignored her existence.

this.
Wu Xiuqing was embarrassed and unconsciously angry. But she hid her anger very well, and others could not see it. In her heart, she once again agreed with the emperor's view of the immortal sects. These immortal sects never took the dynasty on this land seriously.

Perhaps the immortals looked at the Hongwu Dynasty as if they were looking at a nest of ants in front of their own doorstep.

How long can a nest of ants exist? The dynasties keep changing, and the immortal gate doesn't care at all.

Bang bang bang.
As a series of red paper firecrackers rang out, the wedding procession arrived and the scene outside the Fang family's house became lively.

First, he had to present the betrothal gift and thank the elders of the Fang family. After getting the consent, Yang Qian still had a checkpoint to clear.

According to the custom in Jizhou Prefecture, the groom has to pass three checkpoints when he comes to pick up the bride.

These three stages are not the same for every household, but will vary a lot depending on each household’s preferences and background.

For example, merchants' families like to spend money and show off their financial strength to get through. It's not that the bride's family wants money, but they simply want to let the guests around see that their son-in-law is financially strong and to gild their own family's image.

Warriors like to keep some swords, guns, sticks and clubs at home as a three-level test.

Most of the officials considered themselves as literati. Some of them were the judges of academies and their backgrounds were in Xuelinyuan during the Hongwu dynasty. They were serious high-level scholars.

So the three levels Yang Qian saw were all things that tested his knowledge. But fortunately, considering that Yang Qian was a warrior, they didn't give him anything that was too difficult, and only gave him relatively easy questions. Anyone who was not illiterate could use their brains to solve them.

The only somewhat difficult task was the last one outside the boudoir: writing a love poem.

Fang Ce put this question here to see how much knowledge Yang Qian has. Fang Yuan had already revealed the question to Yang Qian last night.

I just don't know whether this "missed question" was Fang Yuan's own initiative or the Fang family deliberately used Fang Yuan to let her off in order to achieve the effect of saving both face and money.

Yang Qian smiled inwardly and thought: You think this can stump me?

So a song "Shang Xie" which was plagiarized from another world was thrown out by Yang Qian.

In his previous life, Yang Qian could even sing songs, and he specially found the original poem and memorized it. Now he uses it here and it is so smooth.

"The evil"

The evil,

I want to know you, and live long without end.

Winter thunder trembles, summer rain and snow,

The heaven and the earth are in harmony, and you dare to be with you.

When "Shang Xie" was released, all the people watching the ceremony were shocked to see that everyone had never seen such a straightforward and passionate love poem before. The determination and passion in it were like a vow that was deeply engraved in their bones!
When Yang Qian recited the poem loudly, Fang Yuan in the boudoir almost rushed out and threw herself into Yang Qian's arms. Fortunately, the queen was quick to push the door back.

They haven't even gotten married yet! If they rush out now, the Fang family will be embarrassed. This is a very disrespectful act.

But no one present laughed at Fang Yuan. Some even showed good understanding. Especially the women, whose hearts were pounding, thinking: Which woman can stand this poem? !

Lord Yang’s literary talent is simply amazing!

Yang Qian is a cheater who is making his way around the world, so why would he care about the face of plagiarism?
Why do you care where this poem came from? As long as it can be used, Yang Qian doesn't care whether others believe it or not.

Then the bride got on the sedan chair and returned to Yang's house.

After returning to the Yang Mansion, there was another series of ceremonies, culminating in a wedding ceremony. The official ceremonial officer then came out to announce the completion of the ceremony, and Yang Qian and Fang Yuan officially became husband and wife.

At this point the wedding was actually over.

The rest is the return gifts and thanks from the Yang and Fang families to the guests. Usually, the return gifts are some exquisite tea bricks and wine, and the thanks are the lunch and evening banquets.

The Yang family has booked three large restaurants in Jizhou Prefecture. Anyone can come in and eat at any time during the day. As long as they give a blessing, even if it's a beggar on the street, it will be fine!

The main venue of the banquet was in the newly purchased house of the Yang family. The spacious front yard was enough to accommodate twenty tables, all of which were for today's guests.

Including Queen Wu Xiuqing and disciples from various immortal sects, all were at these tables.

After three rounds of drinking, the disciples of the Immortal Sect left first, saying they would come back in three days. It was obvious that they also had a lot to say to Yang Qian, but now Yang Qian's status and strength made no one dare to force him, and no one dared to get close to him if he was too busy.

No one, including the Queen, stayed here for long. After Yang Qian came to toast her, she left the Yang Mansion and returned to Yushan Villa.

However, the younger generation of the Fang family came over from their hometown. Their previous awe of Yang Qian faded a lot after a few drinks. Then they bravely challenged Yang Qian to a drinking contest, but were defeated by Yang Qian in no time.

Drinking with a martial artist at the fusion level? I don't know what this is called?
Seeking death?

As the night deepened, Yang Qian took the time to leave the front yard and returned to the backyard. How could he have the energy to talk nonsense with a bunch of drunkards when the flowers were in full bloom? Wasn't the bridal chamber fragrant?
Does the bridal chamber smell good?

Anyway, Yang Qian thought it smelled really good. He first put out the candle, then lit it again, from silent to noisy, and it didn't stop until the second half of the night.

The next morning, Fang Yuan couldn't get out of bed. It wasn't because she was injured. Yang Qian had been using Xuan Qi to replenish Fang Yuan's physical strength last night, so she couldn't be injured. It was mainly because her legs were weak. It was too much. Fang Yuan, who had never been so exhausted before, needed time to adapt.

In the afternoon, Fang Yuan asked her maid to help her go and greet Xu Ying. Xu Ying glared at Yang Qian and said that he didn't know how to pity his wife, and then gave him a plain old jade bracelet to wear on Fang Yuan's hand.

"This is what Yang Qian's grandmother gave me when I got married. I'm giving it to you. It's not a valuable thing, but it's the proof of my status as the eldest lady of our Yang family! I'm giving it to you today."
