Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 518 Hot-Blooded Brothers
The wedding was presided over by officials sent by the emperor, and the process was cumbersome and long. From the time the bride stepped into the gate of the Lin Mansion, everything was carried out as a court wedding, and it took several hours.

"After the ceremony——" Lin Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief as the elongated voice of the officials of the Ministry of Rites sounded.

Surrounded by a large group of beautiful court ladies, the bride was sent to the wedding room that had already been prepared. Lin Chuan's mission was far from over. As the groom, Lin Chuan was immediately surrounded by officials.

"Congratulations, Mr. Lin." Yang Yanxu, chief of military affairs, changed his usual seriousness and squeezed over with a smile to congratulate Lin Chuan.

"Master Yang, this way please." Although the two parties in the government affairs hall often quarreled with each other, they were all for the sake of the dynasty. Since the other party was honored to come, Lin Chuan certainly welcomed it.

Although Zhou Rulin, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is old, he is unwilling to be outdone: "Master Lin, congratulations, the old man is also here to ask for a lifetime wedding drink, I wonder if Mr. Lin welcomes it?"

"Where is the boss, it's too late to welcome you." Lin Chuan smiled and invited Zhou Rulin to sit down as the guest of honor, and laughed in a low voice: "Is our high-ranking Zhuyeqing in Nanchuan Province able to fall into the eyes of the boss? "

"Hahaha, since Mr. Lin is so generous, I won't be drunk today." Zhou Rulin froze for a moment, and then his face showed excitement.

Zhuyeqing is a specialty wine in Nanchuan Province, which can be encountered but not sought after. Especially in recent years of wars, Zhuyeqing is even more precious. Hearing that Lin Chuan took out Zhuyeqing, Zhou Rulin was very happy, and secretly sighed that he had come to the right place.

In addition to the important officials of Wang Jing who came to congratulate him one after another, the governors of the provinces far away in the frontier will not forget this opportunity to win relations with Lin Chuan. They either send their cronies with heavy gifts, or come in person. Inside, high-ranking officials gathered, as lively as a court meeting.

In addition to the officials in the officialdom, the mercenaries of the mercenary union are also unwilling to be left behind. Frost was born in the mercenary union and is the jewel in the palm of the union president. The competition is average, and one gift is more important than the other.

With the continuous arrival of high-ranking officials, the tables set up in the living room were almost filled with officials from the frontier, and even some second-rank officials had to withdraw and sit in the courtyard. Chuan was a little caught off guard and had to temporarily increase the number of tables, but even so it was still packed.

In fact, Lin Chuan's face is not that big. Although he has served as the head of the Nanchuan Army and the chief inspector, it is nothing to these princes and nobles.

The reason why they came here was mainly because of the face of the emperor Long Han and the Central Army Marshal Lan Yu. After all, Lin Chuan is the emperor's trusted minister, and the emperor's actions are the weather vane. Lin Chuan will definitely be used again in the future. They are all exquisitely thoughtful. Characters, naturally they will not let go of such an opportunity to get closer.

In addition, Lan Yu, Marshal of the Central Army, holds 30 troops in the Central Army. He belongs to the powerful faction of the military. He now guards the western border and dominates one side. Lin Chuan also holds a high position in the court. The second problem, this is called a strong alliance, and they can't afford to ignore it. If you don't take the opportunity to win the relationship now, you will regret it if you miss this opportunity.

The wedding was very lively, the palace band worked hard as performers, and the theater troupe paid by Lin Nuoyan also began to sing on stage, pushing the atmosphere of the wedding to a climax.

On the long street in front of Lin's Mansion, hundreds of tables were set up, and steaming hot wine and food were delivered continuously. Although the weather was cold and there was even light snow, it still couldn't stop the lively atmosphere.

The banquet lasted until the night, and the high-ranking officials left in a hurry after lunch. After all, it was rare for them to come to support the show. They were also very busy, and so were the low-level officials. I want to talk to Lin Chuan.

After several rounds of toasting, Lin Chuan was already top-heavy and a little dizzy. Although he claimed that he would not get drunk after a thousand cups, he was exhausted after toasting one by one.

After being helped back to the room by Li Qiye, and after drinking some hangover soup, Lin Chuan's condition improved.

Fortunately, all the arrangements for the wedding were presided over by officials from the Ministry of Etiquette, so Lin Chuan didn't need to pay too much attention.

"General, Governor Xia Ge and the others have arrived." Soon Li Qiye knocked on the door to report that the governor of Nanchuan Province Xia Ge, who had traveled far away, had arrived.

Hearing that the old brothers who had fought side by side came, Lin Chuan hurried out to meet him regardless of his discomfort.

"Brother, look at me, hurry up, the wind and snow are too heavy, the road is difficult, you see we are still late." Xia Ge led a group of people covered in snow, saw Lin Chuan in a red wedding dress, came up Just a big hug, followed by an apology.

Lin Chuan punched Xia Ge's chest and said: "We are all brothers, what are you talking about, I am very happy that you can come, let's go, let's go to the Zuihonglou to reopen the banquet, if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return—"

"Haha, this glass of wedding wine must be drunk, haha." The five big and three thick steel feathers had snow on their hair, and they laughed rough when they heard the drink.

"The general must be fed." Tu Yue also booed from the side.

"You guys are too dishonest. Today is the general's happy day, but I like it, haha." Sith echoed and laughed.

Seeing this group of familiar old brothers who were covered in wind and snow, laughing and teasing together, Lin Chuan felt a warm current in his heart, these are brothers who have died.

"Hey, let's not patronize the wine, take out the presents first." Murong Ke hurriedly called out to everyone.

"Yes, we brought gifts." Hearing Murong Ke's reminder, Wu Jing hurriedly shouted to the black armored cavalry on the street: "Bring the gifts up."

Soon several large boxes of heavy gifts were moved in front of Lin Chuan.

The contents of the box are very simple, a box of fine steel swords, a box of high-quality bamboo leaf green, and a box of local products from Nanchuan Province.

"Brother, our brothers are all poor haha, as you know, although the presents are a bit shabby, not as good as gold, silver and jewelry, but they are all a little thought from the brothers, I hope you don't dislike them." Xia Ge pointed at the three boxes of gifts with some embarrassment road.

"Zhuyeqing was brewed by our retired brothers. After all, there is no military salary, so we can only make a living by making wine."

"These fine steel swords are forged from the Black Mountain Iron Mine. They are much stronger than the ones we used before. I brought all the first batch of forged ones here."

"These native products are also what you ordered us to build a farm. These are the things that our Army Reclamation Farm grows."

Xia Ge introduced quietly, Gang Yu and other old brothers all stared at Lin Chuan without saying a word.

They were very worried on the way. After all, Lin Chuan is now considered a powerful figure, and they are just some officials in Nanchuan Province. Many people are worried that Lin Chuan will neglect them because of his power.

But it is obvious that Lin Chuan is not such a person. Looking at these old brothers, Lin Chuan did not feel disgusted at all, but ordered the guard Li Qiye: "Qiye, move all these things to my house."

Seeing that Lin Chuan accepted the gift and moved it to his own house instead of sending it to the treasury, it was obvious that he had not forgotten these old brothers.

"Haha, I just said that our general is not someone who abandons his brothers." Gang Yu grinned, and everyone laughed.

"Let's go, get drunk in the red building. If you don't get drunk, you won't return." Lin Chuan held Xia Ge's shoulders, and greeted his old brothers and headed towards the restaurant.
