The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

The banquet in the mansion has been arranged, and the cooks in the back are all working hard to cope with the huge banquet in the mansion. This banquet will last from afternoon to evening.

In the kitchen yard, the cooks swung their spatulas until they were smoking.

Today! It's time to use them! !

Can't embarrass the Jingyang Palace, can't embarrass my own husband!

I don't know why, the atmosphere in the kitchen is like the stove, burning!

In the Qinglu, it was very lively, and everyone started to clink glasses.

The wine in the Jingyang Palace is unique.

In order to prepare for Li Fu's wedding, the manor also specially used a batch of good wine that had been deposited last year, as the wine for the wedding banquet, and sent it to the house.

At this moment, it has been served to everyone's table.

Everyone praised the wine.

The banquet in the Qinglu was lively.

The dowry sent by the Duke of Ying's Mansion was still being moved to the palace, and it had not been moved yet.

Li Shao's dowry followed the wedding procession. A large group of people came, carrying the dowry on shoulders and hands, and transporting it on carts. They pulled a lot of things.

The financial resources of the Duke of Ying's Mansion should not be underestimated. The Jingyang Palace sent so many betrothal gifts. When Li Ji prepared the dowry for his daughter, he also had the idea of ​​competing with them.

There was also the dowry given by the Duke of Ying's wife when Li Shao got married, including the dowry sent by relatives from the ancestral family and the maternal family, which was added to the dowry and asked her daughter to bring it when she got married.

Wealth marriage was popular in the Tang Dynasty. The two families got married, sent betrothal gifts, and returned dowry. After one or two trips, the whole Chang'an City saw the arrogance and strength of the Jingyang Palace and the Duke of Ying's Mansion.

Especially the Jingyang Palace, many families, the wealth accumulated over generations is just like this.

If I had known this would happen, I would have found a matchmaker and married the King of Jingyang.

Li Fu sent the betrothal gifts, but many people were drooling behind his back.

After sending the bride to the bridal chamber, Li Fu went to the front to entertain the guests. Before leaving, he also told Xiao Tao.

"Ask the kitchen to prepare some food separately and send it to this room. It will be a long time before the wedding ceremony in the evening. You can't go without food for a day." Li Fu said, "Don't care what those people say. The world is big, but eating is the most important."

"Yes, my lord, rest assured. I will take good care of the lady." Xiao Tao also smiled and saluted Li Fu.

Li Yuan and Li Shimin also sat in the Qinglu and drank with those who came to the banquet.

Most of those who could come here were ministers in the court, and everyone was familiar with each other.

The Yan brothers, Jiang Que and others were all arranged in one area, and there was no obstacle to communicating and drinking with each other.

As for Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, who drank like water, they were a bunch of military generals, and there was plenty of wine, so let them fight.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others were more elegant when eating and drinking. They sat in another area, chatting and drinking.

Empress Changsun and the children were in the Qinglu in the back house, which was a place specially for entertaining female relatives.

The excitement continued until dark, and then it was the auspicious time, and the newlyweds were going to worship in the hall.

The bride came out with the help of the wedding lady. Li Yuan sat at the head of the hall, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites sang the ceremony according to the regulations.

The newlyweds worshiped heaven and earth, worshiped their parents, and the couple worshiped each other.

The two people held the "heart knot" into the bridal chamber, also known as "tying fingers". When the couple entered the bridal chamber together, the bride sat on the bed, and the wedding lady spread the money for the tent. The money for the tent was specially made, in the shape of plum blossoms, weighing six plants, with the words "Long life and wealth", and every ten coins were one Caisuo.

In addition, the money scattered on the tent also has inscriptions such as "husband and wife grow old together", "adding joy to a son", "extending longevity" and so on.

Next, the couple drank the wedding wine together. After drinking, the matchmaker took the small golden scissors wrapped with red cloth, cut a strand of hair from Li Fu and Li Shao's heads, tied the hair into a knot, and put it into the red brocade bag embroidered by Li Shao.

They became husband and wife, and their love was undoubted.

After this ceremony, the couple sat on the left and right in the tent, and the main food was set on a copper prison plate. The couple each ate ear buttons, and the bridesmaids held the waiters to feed them.

The boy was asked to sit opposite each other and shouted loudly, "One cup for the son-in-law, one cup for the bride." After that, the man sat on the east and the woman sat on the west. The woman covered her face with flowers. The bridesmaid chanted five poems of removing flowers and fanning in front of the tent. After removing the fan, the son-in-law invited the woman to talk with the bridesmaid with a hut, and the husband and the waiters left. The ceremony of removing the candles was over.

At this point, the work was done. The bride sat in the room, and the groom was dragged out by the bridesmaids to get drunk.

Li Fu looked at Li Shao sitting on the bed reluctantly.

After this trip, whether he could wake up and come back, it depends on whether his heart is honest or not.

Woo woo woo.......

After the ceremony in the evening, the mansion became even moreIt's lively now, so you don't have to worry about it now, you can drink as much as you want.

At this moment, those heavy drinkers are already drunk, relying on their willpower to support themselves so that they are not the first to fall, otherwise they will be laughed at the next time they sober up.

Unless they can get back on their feet the next time they drink, otherwise, it's hard to say how long they will be laughed at by their colleagues.

In this occasion today, even Li Shimin was dragged to drink a lot of wine, not to mention Li Fu.

Not long after, Li Fu looked drunk.

"Come on, drink." Li Fu held the wine glass and was supported by Wu Liangye, toasting every table.

"Your Highness is generous, I'll drink it, Your Highness, please do as you please."

Everyone drank happily.

Li Fu asked Lao Zhao to bring up the wine sent by the Yuchi family, and each table was served with ice cubes.

After the wine is chilled, the flavor tastes better. Even if the weather is not so warm now, people will not be willing to succumb to the cold and not taste the deliciousness of chilled wine.

As a bridesmaid, there is another task at the banquet, that is to block the wine for Li Fu, the groom.

But look at the bridesmaids at the banquet, they all drink like two hundred and five hundred and eighty thousand.

Only Du Gou and Fang Yizhi have been with Li Fu, dealing with those who want to force Li Fu to drink.

Li Fu looked at the two people with loving eyes.

Good people, much more reliable than their fathers.

The more they drink to the end, the greater the role of the bridesmaid.

Changsun Wuji stood up and came to Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong.

"General Yuchi, General Cheng?" Changsun Wuji pushed the two.

"Huh?" The two lay on the table, without raising their heads, just responded muffledly.

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji knew that he could not count on these two "reckless men".

He looked back at Fang Xuanling and the others.

He also shook his head and sighed.

I hope the two children can hold on.

After a round of toasts, Li Fu felt as if his feet were stepping on cotton.
