Before the formal worship of heaven and earth, there is also a singing ceremony to show that the man's family has extensive connections.
Since the Li family and the Han family are far apart, it was already in the afternoon when Li Zexuan came back from the wedding, so some guests who were usually busy chose to come over in the afternoon. As for those guests who came in the morning and had already given gifts, they stayed until We read it together at this time.
"The Du family from Chonghuafang, Chang'an, came to congratulate me and gave me 80,000 yuan, a jade Buddha, and a pair of gold cups!"
"Yan Shangshu of Yankangfang in Chang'an came to congratulate him and presented him with 400,000 yuan, a pair of red gold inlaid buckles, a pair of white jade mandarin duck buckles, four pairs of beeswax turquoise coat buttons with beaded silk, two small swords and sickles with jade handles and ivory handles, and a gold necklace. Four, six silver necklaces, one golden phoenix with pearls and silk threads, and one golden hairpin with double luan holding longevity fruit..."
"Wow~! Shangshu Yan has sent someone to deliver gifts!"
"And this gift is not light!"
As the Minister of Industry, Yan Lide was a well-known figure in the entire court. His move immediately aroused many people's private discussions.
"Wei Zuocheng of Yongxingfang, Chang'an came to congratulate you and gave you four thousand coins and a calligraphy treasure!"
"Pfft~! Wei Zuocheng is here! It's just that this gift is too little!"
Everyone was surprised to hear that Wei Zheng actually came to congratulate Li Zexuan on his wedding, but when they heard the gift he sent, everyone's faces were full of black lines, and the gift was five thousand dollars. This is really...!
Li Zexuan also vomited blood. Did Mr. Wei Zheng come to sincerely congratulate him on his marriage, or did he deliberately "hang the minimum living allowance" and come in to eat and drink?
"It's not just a little less? This is a hundred times less than the gift Yan Shangshu gave just now!"
"Come on~! Just be satisfied! Wei Zuocheng never attended these banquets in the past, and most people couldn't pay to invite them! Last time, Mr. Xiao Ge (Shang Shu Zuopu She Xiao Yu) was also a legendary figure, with many ups and downs. When his eldest son, who had served as prime minister six times, been dismissed six times, and in the most serious case, was even stripped of his title and demoted out of the capital, married Princess Xiangcheng, Wei Zuocheng only gave him a gift of five guan of money. At that time, Mr. Xiao Ge's nose I’m so angry~!”
"Haha~! So, the Li family's reputation is really great~!"
"Haha~! That's the truth~!"
The common people in Chang'an City are always the most knowledgeable about gossip. After a while, Wei Zheng's little old background was immediately stripped bare, but this guy didn't feel anything shameful at all, and he was still there enjoying the wine, as if I didn't hear much discussion from outsiders.
"Hmph~! Anyway, everyone in Chang'an City knows that I am an upright official, with clean sleeves, and being able to give you a five-string gift as a gift has already given you a lot of respect. Besides, my calligraphy treasure must be worth a lot of money, right? Boy Xuan You’re not at a loss~! Since I paid “such a big price” to attend the wedding, I’ll have to eat more to make up for it later!”
Wei Zheng thought in his heart.
"The Duke of Wei of Jinningfang came to congratulate him and gave him 800,000 yuan, a pair of white jade mandarin duck buckles, four pairs of beeswax turquoise coat buttons with beaded silk, two points of fire sickle with jade handle and ivory handle, four gold collars, and silver collars. Six............”
Sanbao, who was singing the ceremony in front of the door, also felt a little embarrassed and quickly read out the gift list for the next family.
"Hey~! Duke Wei is so extravagant! He just gave the Han family so much dowry yesterday, and today he sent so many congratulatory gifts!"
"Yes! This gift is more than two hundred times that of Wei Zuocheng!"
Li Jing did spend a lot of money this time. The gold and silver he had accumulated through military awards over the years was basically spent on one-third of Li Zexuan's wedding.
Wei Zheng, who was sitting next to him and enjoying the wine, suddenly darkened his face when he heard some people's comments, "Why the hell did you bring me up to compete again? After Li Jing wins a battle, he usually gets a lot of advice from me." Minister, where are you going to make money? Can this be compared together?"
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but look at Li Jing and Sanbao with resentment.
The three treasures singing at the door had no idea that Wei Zheng had suffered another "whip corpse" injury. He continued to read: "The Duke of E State in Buzhengfang came to congratulate him and gave him one million in money, a pair of red gold inlaid treasure buttons, and a white jade buckle. A pair of mandarin duck buttons, four pairs of beeswax turquoise coat buttons, two jade-handled ivory-handled knives and fire sickles, four gold necklaces, six silver necklaces..."
"The Duke Lu's Mansion in Huaidefang came to congratulate him and gave him 2.4 million in money, four gold necklaces, six silver necklaces, a golden phoenix with pearls and silk, a golden hairpin with double luan holding longevity fruit, and a golden phoenix hairpin with pearls. One pair, a pair of phoenix bird hairpins inlaid with Hetian white jade, a pair of phoenix hairpins inlaid with green silk, a pair of phoenix hairpins made of dotted silver silk, a pair of long red gold silk hairpins, a pair of long hairpins inlaid with red gold, a pair of long emerald hairpins. A pair of hairpins, a pair of long white jade hairpins..."
The congratulatory gift sent by Cheng Yaojin was even more exciting, and it would be no exaggeration to say that it shocked the entire audience. The reason for giving so many gifts is that when the Han family sent off their bride yesterday, Qin Qiong could go to add makeup because of his identity as a foster father, but the Cheng family could not. Old Cheng felt that he was one step behind Qin's second brother, so he had to make up for it today. , and secondly, because of Li Zexuan's immortal drunkenness and gentleness, the Cheng family followed suit and made a lot of money. As the saying goes, reciprocating a favor in return, he must not be stingy when it is time to support Li Zexuan~!
"Hi~! Mr. Lu Guo is so grand~! Two million and four hundred thousand, three thousand guan~!"
"Ha~! Ordinary people like us will never see so much money in our lifetime~!"
At the banquet hosted by the Li Mansion today, the main guests were seated in the front yard, but outside the courtyard, there were fifty tables of running water mats in the open space in front of the Li Mansion. Ordinary people could come as long as they wanted to send some gifts. eat.
Hearing the richer gifts from each family, the people outside were really shocked and dumbfounded. Thinking of the eggs, fish and other things they sent, some of the thin-skinned people had a look of embarrassment on their faces.
However, these people are overthinking themselves. Li Zexuan never expected to get rich through gifts. He got married mainly for fun, otherwise he would not have spent so much money to make everyone happy. Also, the fun has just begun. Sanbao slowly read on, and the gifts that followed were more exciting than the last. Not only were the gifts more exciting, but the identity of the gift-giver was even more exciting.
"Forty-four supervisors from the Imperial College of Computer Science came together to congratulate each other, and gave away two million yuan and a book of thank-you quotes~!"
This special gift made everyone admire him with admiration. A successful teacher was very respected in ancient times.
"The Prince of Hejian County came to congratulate him and presented him with three million yuan, four pairs of top-quality luminous pearls, a golden phoenix with pearls, a golden hairpin with double luan holding a longevity fruit, a pair of golden phoenix hairpins with pearls, and white jade inlaid with jadeite. A pair of phoenix hairpins, a pair of green phoenix hairpins, a pair of green silk phoenix hairpins..."
Before Li Xiaogong went to sea, he had promised that when Li Zexuan got married, the palace would give him a big gift, and now it has come as expected.
"Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, came to congratulate him and gave him two million in money, two ivory fingers, two deer bone thumbs with eyes, and two horn fingers..."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince came to congratulate you and gave you four million in money, two jade fingers, two ivory fingers, two deer bone thumbs with eyes, two horn fingers..."
"The grandson's house of the eldest son of Chongrenfang came to congratulate him and gave him one million in money, two deer bone finger pulls with eyes, two ox horn finger pullers, a golden phoenix with pearls and silk, and a golden hairpin with double luan holding longevity fruit..."
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei came to congratulate you and gave you four million yuan, a pair of gold phoenix hairpins with pearls, a pair of phoenix hairpins inlaid with jade and white jade, a pair of phoenix hairpins made of green silk, and a pair of phoenix hairpins made of green silk. ....."
"Princess Changle came to congratulate her and gave her three million yuan as a gift, including a pair of emerald silver phoenix hairpins, a pair of red gold silk long hairpins, a pair of red gold inlaid long hairpins, a pair of emerald long hairpins, and a pair of white jade long hairpins... ....."
"The Holy One sent an envoy to congratulate him, and presented him with ten taels of gold, ten pieces of brocade and silk, ten pieces of silk, and a pair of Ruyi jade..."
The princes, princes, and princesses came to congratulate each other one after another. The people who were watching the excitement outside and enjoying their meals were so shocked that their scalps were numb. How could they normally see these big shots! I just came here for a feast today, but I actually saw them all.
The most shocking thing is that Li Er actually sent people to deliver congratulatory gifts. Everyone present, including ordinary people and high-ranking officials, were shocked...
