These big guys have high status. Chang Yu came to the house to greet him personally, but he couldn't arrange a place with the eunuchs, otherwise it would be a mess. They are natural enemies. No one would look at each other. It's impossible. Fortunately, we still have to trash talk each other in a weird way.
The big bosses have just been arranged here, and the nobles have also come over there. Dukes and uncles are coming one after another, surprising the people who are watching the excitement outside. How come there are so many distinguished guests coming to congratulate them? These two personal attendants are so proud. It's also too big.
"Are you stupid? This is the face of the two servants. This is the face of the eunuch!" Someone sighed and shook his head: "It seems that the servants are getting married, but in fact it is the eunuch who is getting married."
"You mean, the eunuch actually married two wives, and the two personal attendants are just used to cover up others' eyes?"
"Damn it, your brain is really... not afraid of being chopped off."
Chang Yu didn't hear this, but his head was too big.
Too many unexpected people came to congratulate me, and too many people came, so I called Mr. Wu and Song Luoshu aside and said, "The Yamen will take half of the gifts I received today!"
The deal was done, and the two of them happily agreed, because the more people came, the more gifts they would receive! Not to mention anything else, the gifts from those nobles were twenty taels per person, and nearly a hundred people came!
Oddly enough, there were a lot of big-name officials here, but few low-level officials from the capital came. Except for the officials from the Thirteenth Law Division who came out of the capital with Chang Yu, those who held a housewarming party a while ago Almost no officials below the fifth rank came to enjoy free meals.
However, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that besides registration, you also need to give gifts this time. In fact, it’s okay to send some gifts, but after all, it’s two guards who are getting married. They have no friendship or even know each other. Bringing gifts and drinking wedding wine is too deliberate and doesn't lead to much success. Instead, it makes both parties very embarrassed. Moreover, this kind of occasion cannot be as comfortable and social as a housewarming banquet. If you go around trying to get in at other people's wedding banquets, the guests will hate you. The master hates you too.
Simply not coming!
There are quite a lot of people serving as soldiers, and anyone with some friendship is here.
So one courtyard arranged the guests who were soldiers, another courtyard arranged the officials, and VIP seats were set up in two lobbies. In one place were the eunuchs, Wu Mengming, who was responsible for accompanying the guests, and in the other were the chief assistant Li Banghua, the British Duke Zhang Shize and others.
It's finally dark, and the guests are finally here. People sitting in the two large courtyards are slowly chatting and chatting, waiting for the banquet to begin. But there is still the most important step before the banquet begins, the worship service!
I pray to heaven and earth to my parents.
Although Emperor Chongzhen was the officiant, there was still a need for an officiant during the ceremony? Unsurprisingly, Chang Yu, who was both a matchmaker and his immediate boss, was promoted to be the officiant. Sitting in the main hall, the two newlyweds entered the hall according to the instructions of the host Li Muxian. It is required to go through the process one by one.
One is to worship heaven and earth, the other is to worship in the high hall, and the husband and wife bow to each other.
What is coincidental and regrettable is that the parents of three of the two newlyweds are not alive, so they can only live in the air.
"After we bow, we become husband and wife. From now on, we will be together forever and grow old together," Li Muxian said. The guests watching the excitement outside the door began to boo: "Let the bride rest first? We will have a drink later but we will have a wedding ceremony." of……"
"Everyone, please don't worry about making wedding arrangements." Li Muchian smiled and said to the two newlyweds, "First kowtow to the Governor and serve tea."
Wu Zhong and Song Luoshu quickly kowtowed to Chang Yu three times, and then took the tea cup handed by the maid next to him to serve Chang Yu tea. Chang Yu drank four cups of tea in one gulp, "Congratulations, I won't say more. They are all the governor's most trusted people. I just hope that I will not let down the people around me in the future."
"Don't forget the Du Gong's admonishment," the four people said quickly.
"This is not an admonishment, it's just what you say from your heart. That's all. It's a happy day. The emperor rewarded you with jade as you wish. I also give you a generous gift." Then he shouted to the door: "Old Jiu, give me a gift." Get the gift from the Governor."
There was a commotion outside the door. Onlookers, including Chief Assistant Li Banghua and others, were curious about what gifts Chang Yu would give to the two newlyweds. After all, everyone knew that Chang Yu was very generous to his subordinates, and he was not short of money.
The gift was covered with red cloth and placed on a long plate. Lao Jiu brought it up and placed it in front of the two newlyweds. Everyone couldn't see what it was for a while, so they all guessed in low voices.
"Open it for everyone to see what gift the Governor has given you," Wu Mengming shouted from the side.
Chang Yu chuckled: "Since everyone wants to see it, let's open it and take a look." Wu Zhong and Song Luoshu reached out and opened the red and white pieces, and the scene was suddenly silent and silent.
Planks, the dignified eunuch actually gave them a plank each!
"Eh, no, it's a washboard, two washboards," some sharp-eyed people couldn't help but blurt out. The crowd immediately became agitated, but they were very confused as to why the washboards were given. After all, they didn't understand the joke.
"These two washboards are given to Luo Yu and the princess. If they are treated badly after the marriage, they will be punished by kneeling on the washboard to admit their mistake. If they are dissatisfied, they can come to the governor. Make the decision, in this capital the governor is your mother-in-law, not just the two of you, no matter who dares to bully you, please ask me first, Chang Yu, if I agree!" Chang Yu's aura changed as he spoke, and everyone in the courtyard was shocked. I couldn't help being surprised, the aura was so powerful that I almost suffocated.
Mr. Wu and Song Luoshu didn't dare to talk to each other, but Zhu Yan and Song Luoyu were so excited that they couldn't control themselves and cried like pear blossoms with rain.
Although Zhu Yan is the princess, she is married thousands of miles away. If she suffers any grievances, she can't count on her mother's family. As for Song Luoyu's parents are no longer here, let alone her mother's family. At this time, Chang Yu's words, It hit the two of them at their most vulnerable point.
The same words also made the onlookers think deeply, especially Li Banghua and others who had a great change in their hearts towards this little eunuch.
Chang Yu stood up and helped Zhu Yan and Song Luoyu up, but Luo Yu was so emotional that she couldn't stand upright because she was crying. Chang Yu supported her: "You once protected the safety of my governor, and you also went into battle with me to kill him." The enemy has never seen you shed a tear, but now you are crying like a girl."
One sentence made Song Luoyu burst into tears and laugh: "Duke, I am a woman even though I am in a humble position."
"Humph, now I know that I am a woman." Chang Yu pretended to be angry and said, "Think more about the fact that I am a girl in the future." Song Luoyu sipped quietly and said nothing. Wu Zhong giggled: "Don't worry, Governor, I will never do anything in the future." I won’t let Luo Yu be bullied, I will obey him in everything, and I will give her all my salary from now on..."
Unexpectedly, Chang Yu just rolled his eyes at him: "Please, when you get your salary, can you pay back what you lent me first..." Everyone burst into laughter. Li Banghua and other cabinet ministers looked at each other and shook their heads with a bitter smile. This eunuch is really... Unfathomable.
"Eunuch Chang, this is a great time for us. Can you please leave a masterpiece about this scene for us to appreciate?" At this moment, Wu Xuan, the second assistant, stood up and said with a smile on his face, which immediately caused everyone to boo. Li Banghua also nodded: "Eunuch Chang's recent masterpieces have been published one after another, including the passionate service to the country, the majestic Spring Snow in Qinyuan, and the soul-stirring Smiling Proud Jianghu. They are all top-notch works. Eunuch Chang also It is said to be a masterpiece of literature in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and today, on this special day, it will open our eyes again."
Unexpectedly, Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Not good at this!"
Everyone was shocked!
What does it mean to be not good at this, not good at poetry and poetry? Wouldn't that mean that the previous ones were plagiarized?
Of course Chang Yu would not admit that he was just not good at loving children.
Only then did everyone realize that after careful consideration, most of what this little eunuch did was related to the military or expressing his feelings through scenery, and it really had nothing to do with the love between his children.
The reason why Chang Yu refused was actually because he didn't have the goods. He couldn't plagiarize what he did before Ming Dynasty. After Ming Dynasty, only Nalan and Yuan Mei were famous. Moreover, his works had nothing to do with love or anything like that, at least they were not relevant to today. of this scene.
But Wu Xuan did not give up: "Eunuch Chang is not good at affection between children, so I will do what you are good at."
This dead old man, Chang Yu secretly cursed in his heart. He knew that he had been pretending too much recently, leaving these civil servants with nowhere to show their faces. At the same time, he also wanted to see if he had such knowledge and literary talents.
"My family is not good at drinking and cannot learn from Li Taibai's hundreds of poems about drinking wine, let alone Cao Zijian's ability to compose a poem in seven steps. Even if we were killed on the spot, we would not be able to come up with one sentence for you. The sages once said that articles are made by nature. A skillful hand accidentally gets it, and what comes out when he opens his mouth are words, not articles." Chang Yu's words are neither soft nor hard, but they are just right. Let alone writing poems and songs, even a normal person cannot poop or urinate at any time. from.
Although Wu Xuan still wanted to resist, you can't force people to compose poems for you on this occasion. It was a wedding, so he left with a haha, and Li Muchian shouted to start the party.
"You guys won't come home until you're drunk, so go ahead and drink!" The straight man from Wuzhong, who didn't know how to say anything, was already in the wine. He told everyone to drink hard, but the guests asked him not to drink too much. I can’t have a bridal chamber at night!
The wedding wine gets to your head as soon as you drink it, and you can't stop drinking it. Hundreds of guests in the courtyard are drinking and laughing, and the pleasant people watching the excitement outside the courtyard linger for a long time. The night is getting darker and darker, and the wine is getting sweeter and fragrant. The bright moon in the sky It's also getting brighter.
Wuzhong and Song Luoshu toasted back and forth across the four courtyards of the two houses. Even if the two of them were huge, they could not help but stumble around. Chang Yu was responsible for entertaining the distinguished guests. He would go to the eunuch's place to chat for a while, and then go to the honorary's place to have a drink. Moving to the cabinet minister's table, he was already top-heavy as he was not a very drunk person. Fang followed him step by step for fear that he would fall over.
The topics at the banquet table among cabinet ministers are always heavy. These veterans almost always talk about government affairs. They inevitably ask about Chang Yu's trip to Jizhou and his next step. Although Chang Yu is drunk, he also knows what to say and what not to say. After talking for a while, he got up to go elsewhere, but suddenly he leaned at the door and looked at the bright moon in the sky, softly chanting: "The moon in the sky is the most pitiful for hard work."
Ah, the big guys were startled and looked at each other. Wu Xuan stood up and walked to Chang Yu's side at the door: "Eunuch Chang, are you pitying the moon that day?"
Chang Yu ignored him, looked at the bright moon in the sky and whispered: "Toil is the most pity for the moon in the sky, it is like a ring overnight, and it becomes a knot every night.
If the moon is always bright and clear, the ice and snow will keep you warm.
There is no such thing as an easy fate, but the swallow is still there, softly stepping on the curtain hook.
After singing, the sorrow in the autumn graves has not stopped, and the spring bushes recognize the two-dwelling butterflies."
Damn it! The big bosses present were all shocked inside and out. None of them was a well-educated person. This is a song about butterfly flowers. The opening chapter is clear and poignant, and the second part is about seeing things and thinking about people. This should be a poem of mourning. This is The little eunuch was young but had a lot of stories to tell. On his subordinate's big day, he saw the bright moon and missed his old friend.
Regardless, this is an excellent song.
Until Chang Yu left, no one here could calm down. Wu Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head before returning to his seat and sitting down. He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. Hard work and diligence are nothing compared to talent!
The invisible 13 is the most deadly, and Chang Yu is the best at it now!
