"Hey! Brother Ji, his second uncle, you're here! Come and sit inside!"
"Who are you? Oh, you are Ji Ge's eldest uncle, right? Ji Ge has told me about you? Please come in quickly!"
"Uncle Ji, please come in and sit down!"
The next day, near noon, in front of a new house in Hanjiazhuang, red silk was fluttering and there were a lot of guests.
Pang Feiji's two younger brothers, Xiongda and Xionger, were serving as masters of ceremonies at the entrance of the courtyard, greeting guests to take their seats. The two brothers are twins, and they are wearing brand new clothes today. They look particularly festive, which is fitting for the occasion.
"Hey! Two brothers Liu, are you here so early?"
At this time, two people came over. Their big eyes lit up and they hurriedly greeted them and greeted them warmly.
The visitors were none other than Li Zexuan's current bodyguards, Liu Feng and Liu Yun.
Liu Feng said with a smile: "Brother Pang is getting married. Of course we two brothers have to come early! We just want to see if there is anything we can do to help! By the way, where are Brother Pang and his family?"
Xiong replied with a smile: "The boss is changing clothes now and getting ready to marry the bride! The former Princess Natsume of the Japanese Kingdom is now the adopted daughter of Mr. Liu Er of Mei Village. She has been renamed Liu Natsume. What we claim to outsiders is that she I have been an orphan since I was a child to avoid unnecessary trouble!"
Liu Feng nodded and said: "I heard Master Hou say this before, don't worry, none of our people will let it slip!"
He knew that this was Li Zexuan helping Natsume Suga get a new identity so that Pang Feiji's relatives and friends would not be suspicious!
"Oh! By the way! Brother Liu, when will Mr. Hou and his wife come?"
Xiongda asked at this time.
"It should be coming soon. The Marquis asked us two brothers to come over and guard the front line. He said he would be here soon! So, Xiongda and Xiongji, you guys are busy first. Let's go in and see if there is anything we can do to help!"
Liu Feng replied, and then walked into the courtyard.
............................
"Haha! Fei Ji is now successful, doing great things with Marquis Yong'an, and even married a beautiful girl. Now, Sister Yu, you don't have to worry about Fei Ji anymore~!"
Pang's house, main hall.
Several relatives and friends who were close to Pang Feiji were sitting next to Pang Feiji's mother, Mrs. Yu, chatting about home affairs.
"Haha! His aunt Fei Ji, Fei Ji's success in becoming what he is today is all due to the cultivation of the Marquis. Otherwise, just because he was doing nothing in the Marquis Wu Mansion, he could only find a wife in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse in the Month?"
Mrs. Yu's face was red and beaming, and she was obviously very happy.
"Haha! I heard that Fei Ji got this daughter-in-law to have a beautiful child. We all need to open our eyes later!"
"That's right! Fei Ji is the most promising child in the old Pang family. The daughter-in-law he wants must be of outstanding beauty. We, as relatives, have never seen one before! Wait a minute! Come on! Take a good look!”
In the room, Pang Feiji's seventh aunt and eighth aunt suddenly started cheering.
Mrs. Yu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "I don't care if she is beautiful or not, as long as she manages the house virtuously and as long as she likes her!"
"Second Sister Yu is right. When marrying a daughter-in-law, you can't just live by whether she is good-looking or not. The important thing is to be virtuous!"
"Yeah!"
"Eh? By the way, it's almost time. Where's Feiji? We're all still waiting to marry the bride together~!"
"It's coming! It's coming! Second uncle, second aunt, uncle, uncle, are you all here?"
While he was talking, Pang Feiji was dressed in a wedding dress, with a bright red flower on his chest, and walked out of the room inside.
"Oh~! My eldest nephew looks so energetic in this wedding dress!"
"Yes, that's right! Feiji looked tall and thick before, but now that he's dressed up like this, he's quite handsome. That girl is quite discerning!"
Everyone was talking about such praise, and Pang Feiji felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "Okay, uncle and second aunt, please stop talking. If you continue to talk, others will say that you are selling melons and bragging. !”
"Hey! Look at you kid, how can you talk about your relatives like that?"
"That's right! We are Wang Po, so if you are not gay, wouldn't you be like a watermelon?"
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
"Boss, the auspicious time has come, we should go to Plum Village to welcome the bride!"
At this time, Xiongda walked in and said to Pang Feiji.
"Yes! Feiji, go and get married as soon as possible, don't miss the right moment!"
Mrs. Yu also stood up and said.
"Yes! Mother!"
Pang Feiji nodded in agreement.
Then, he rode a tall horse and led the wedding team towards Plum Village.
At four quarters of noon, the wedding team took the bride back to Hanjiazhuang.
Just as he was about to worship, a shout suddenly came from outside the door.
"The Marquis of Yong'an has arrived~! The Marquis of Yong'an's wife has arrived~! I will give you twenty pieces of jade, ten husks of pearls, a pair of ivory, a large fairy mirror, and one hundred thousand dollars~!"
It's a majestic voice.
After hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked. First, they were surprised that Li Zexuan, the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, would be present in person when Pang Feiji got married. Second, they were surprised that Li Zexuan came as he came, but he also brought such a heavy gift!
Everyone couldn't help but begin to re-examine the relationship between Pang Feiji and Li Zexuan.
"Master Hou~! You...are you here? Come on, take a seat!"
Pang Feiji was also a little surprised. He thought that when he got married, Li Zexuan could come to have a wedding drink to show his face. He didn't expect that Li Zexuan not only came, but also brought so many congratulatory gifts!
If you treat me like a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman~!
At this moment, he was thinking that even if Li Zexuan asked him to die immediately, he would be willing to do so without even frowning!
"Haha! I encountered some delays on the way. I shouldn't have missed it in time. Otherwise, I would have been guilty of a great crime!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said with a smile.
"I've met Marquis Yong'an~!"
Next to Pang Feiji, the bride Soga Natsume, who was all dressed in red and still covered with a hijab, came over quickly and saluted Li Zexuan.
She followed the standard Han Chinese woman's etiquette. She must have worked hard in private.
"See you, Mr. Hou~!"
Everyone in the room finally recovered from the shock and quickly saluted Li Zexuan.
Pang Feiji's relatives and friends, some are from Lantian County, some from Chang'an City, and some from other prefectures and counties around Chang'an City, but no matter where they are from, they have all heard of Li Zexuan's name, and among them Most people have also received favors from Li Zexuan!
However, most of them had only heard of Li Zexuan's name before, but now they saw the real person up close, and they were inevitably very excited.
"Haha! There is no need to be polite! I came here with my wife today, just to ask for a wedding drink, so I can't overdo it. When it's time to get married, when it's time to pay homage, don't worry about me! Don't miss the time~! "
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said with an easygoing look.
Everyone couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Zexuan being so easy-going.
Pang Feiji's mother, Mrs. Yu, came over, bowed to Li Zexuan and said: "I, Mrs. Yu, have met the Marquis! It is an honor for the Pang family that the Marquis can come to attend my son's wedding. How can my son be so virtuous and capable?" , can you bear the generous gift from the Marquis?"
Li Zexuan turned to look at Han Yuxi. Han Yuxi understood the situation and stepped forward to help Yu up. Li Zexuan then said: "Aunt Yu, Feiji works hard and hard by my side. I have never treated him as a servant." , It’s just a small gift, it’s nothing! Don’t refuse anymore, today is Fei Ji’s happy day, business matters are more important!”
Seeing Li Zexuan's sincerity, Mrs. Yu couldn't refuse any more. She thanked her, then turned to look at Pang Feiji and said solemnly: "My son, our Pang family must act with conscience. The Marquis treats you like this." , if you cannot be loyal to the Marquis in the future, my mother will disown your son! Do you hear me?"
Pang Feiji nodded heavily and said, "Mom, you don't need to tell me this, my child knows it too, just don't worry!"
"Okay, okay! Let's worship quickly! The guests are all impatiently waiting!"
Li Zexuan urged at this time.
Mrs. Yu responded with a smile and invited Li Zexuan to sit at the top left side of the high hall, but where could Li Zexuan be willing to sit? Because this seat is usually reserved for the parents of married people, he can't break the rules.
"Okay! The deacon is here, the concierge is waiting, the gongs are sounded once, praying for good luck and peace forever; the drums are sounded twice, heaven and earth bless the newlyweds; the auspicious time has come, the lanterns are decorated, the rising stars are shining, the bride and groom are invited. Entering the Flower Hall—!?”
Xiongda raised his voice and began to preside over the wedding.
Li Zexuan, who was sitting at the head of the hall, almost spat out the tea in his mouth when he heard this. He thought to himself, where did this guy learn how to move quickly? It really looks like that! But the premise is that when this guy speaks, he has to straighten his tongue, otherwise it will sound too funny!
"Bow down to heaven and earth to thank you for your marriage; kneel down——:
Thank God for the auspiciousness and kowtow——!
May earth last forever, and kowtow again——!
Wishing you happiness and good health, kowtow three times——!
Get up——!
Second, bow to Gaotang for nurturing grace; kneel down——!
Thank your parents for their upbringing and kowtow——!
Honor your parents and take care of them until your old age, and then kowtow—!
I wish my parents good health and kowtow three times——!
Get up—!”
After kowtowing three times in front of Gaotang, Pang Feiji paused, then took Natsume Soga and walked to Li Zexuan. The two of them knelt down and bowed. Pang Feiji said: "With this bow, I would like to thank the Marquis for giving me the gift of remaking my wife, and for the previous marriage." The kindness of cultivating Ji Ji will make him go through fire and water in the future, and he will not hesitate to do so!"
Soga Natsume said: "Thank you, Marquis Yong'an, for saving my life and giving me a good match~!"
"Get up quickly!"
Li Zexuan helped the two of them up, and then said with a meaningful smile: "Now that you two are together, live a good life there. There is a saying that when you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and when you marry a dog, follow the dog. How about the past, let's not go there for the time being. Let’s dig deeper, but since Natsume is married to Pang Feiji, you must think about your husband’s family at all times! Feiji, if Natsume is really a virtuous and virtuous wife, then you should treat her well! With a harmonious secret guard family, Only with my backing can I work more wholeheartedly for this prince, do you hear me?"
The implicit message in these words is to warn Soga that after Natsume marries Pang Feiji, he will completely become a Tang Dynasty person, completely forget his former identity as a Japanese, forget the country, forget the nation, and devote himself to his husband's family. , For the sake of Datang, don’t correct some moths that harm the interests of Datang!
"Remember the Marquis's teachings!"
Pang Feiji and Soga Natsume said in unison.
"Okay! Let's go on to worship!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand and said.
The two of them responded quickly.
Xiongda then shouted:
"Husband and wife bow to each other~! After a hundred years of cultivation, they are able to cross the same boat, and a thousand years of cultivation are to sleep together. Face to face, the bride and groom face each other, and the husband and wife bow to each other in front of the flower hall: Kneel down -!
The heaven and the earth are in harmony, the harp and the harp sing in harmony and kowtow;
Mandarin ducks fly together, husband and wife are of the same mind, kowtow again~!
If the husband sings and the wife follows you, you will get a son early, and you will kowtow three times—! Get up——! The ceremony is completed and the bride is sent to the bridal chamber~! "
After the wedding, it's time for the banquet.
Li Zexuan originally planned to have a wedding drink, so he left with his wife. Because he was here, many guests could not eat. But just as he stood up to leave, he caught a glimpse of two acquaintances on the table next to him - Yan Shaoning and Mo Lingwei!
"Xiao Ningzi, look at Pang Feiji, then look at you~! Humph~!"
"Me? What's wrong with me?"
"Hmph! What did you say happened to you?"
"Oh! I understand! Don't worry, Wei'er. I'll find an opportunity to tell my father about us and ask him to send a matchmaker to your house as soon as possible to propose marriage!"
"Bah! Who... who wants you to propose marriage? You are really shameless, so I will ignore you~!"
"No...no, the chief gave me this analysis last time? Weier, don't you want to marry me?"
Hearing this, Li Zexuan's face was full of black lines. He really wanted to pick up a brick and just slap Yan Shaoning's head. He had seen emotional idiots, but never such an idiot~!
However, in order to avoid getting entangled with these two crazy men and resentful women, Li Zexuan did not go over to say hello. He just said something to Pang Feiji and left directly with Han Yuxi!
I had a wedding banquet today, and I guess it won’t be long before I have another wedding banquet!
Seeing that his good brother Yan Shaoning could find a good match, to be honest, Li Zexuan was very happy!
………………………
"Shan Chief, the workshop has refined a batch of vanadium and produced two cans of concentrated sulfuric acid. Would you like to go and take a look!"
The next day, afternoon.
Li Zexuan was about to go home when he met Wang Ji at the foot of Yunshan Mountain.
Wang Ji stopped the carriage and said to Li Zexuan excitedly.
"So fast?"
Li Zexuan was surprised. He originally planned to come to Yunshan in a few days to check on the progress, but he didn't expect Wang Ji to produce concentrated sulfuric acid so quickly!
This progress was beyond his expectation!
However, when he saw Wang Ji's panda eyes, although his face was full of excitement, he could not hide the fatigue deep in his heart. Li Zexuan understood why Wang Ji's progress was so fast. It's because the old man stayed up late in the workshop again!
"Mr. Wang, how many times have I told you? Don't stay up late and don't rush on schedule. Why don't you listen?"
Li Zexuan looked at Wang Ji and blamed him.
"Haha! Chief, it's okay. I slept for more than two hours last night and am in good spirits! Besides, there are electric lights in the workshop now, so you can see clearly when working at night, right?"
