After the ceremony was completed, Wei Chen only sat for a while. Before he had time to talk to his wives, he was kicked out by a group of women in the room and toasted to relatives and friends in the front yard.
The wedding banquet was arranged by Zhang Ming and hosted by Yuxianlou, a Bianjing restaurant.
Shopkeeper Li of Yuxian Tower is a very visionary and courageous person. He knows that today, most of the dignitaries in Bianjing City are gathered in the Wei Mansion, which is an excellent opportunity for Yuxian Tower to make a name for itself.
In order to host today's banquet, Yuxian Restaurant was closed to the public yesterday and concentrated on preparing ingredients, cooking utensils, etc., vowing to take this opportunity to make Yuxian Restaurant the first restaurant in Bianjing that is well-known among the rich and powerful in Bianjing.
In addition to the crab-stuffed orange, lamb tongue sticks, crispy Qiong leaves and other delicacies that Wei Chen had during his food tasting a few days ago, Yuxianlou also launched a dish of green-covered pork wings this time.
This dish is made from the finest short ribs, then simmered in old hen soup over low heat. When the heat is high, large purple abalone, cloud legs, and well-cooked fried chicken are used, wrapped together in lotus leaves, and added with the secret recipe. Bake the leftover ingredients for an hour, then steam them in a basket for one and a half minutes.
Finally, the lotus leaves are thrown away and replaced with new lotus leaves to cover the row of wings and served on the table, hence the name Cui Gai Pai Wings.
At this banquet, the master chef of Yuxianlou personally cooked the green-covered ribs to a perfect temperature.
The aroma of ham and abalone is absorbed by the shark fin, which can be said to be mellow and moist, with the fragrance of lotus overflowing, smooth but not greasy. It is so rare that the eyebrows of the guests attending the wedding banquet will fall off.
However, Wei Chen had no time to taste the delicacies on the table and was busy toasting the guests at each table.
First of all, there are Wei Ruyi and Zhang Ming. They have been kind to Wei Chen in raising them up. Today is Wei Chen's happy day and it would be unreasonable not to toast them three glasses of wine.
Then there are Zhuang Jun, Han Zhang, Liu Tingxi, Wang Wenqing and others. These people have been mentored and supported by Wei Chen, and Wei Chen also wants to toast to express his gratitude.
There are also colleagues from the Hanlin Academy, people from the Duke of Qi’s Mansion, Ningyuan Marquis’ Mansion, Zhongqin Bo’s Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion, and Yuzhou in the same year of Tianyou’s sixth year...
There were a hundred and fifty guests who came to the banquet. They were all here to support Wei Chen. Naturally, Wei Chen couldn't wait any longer and paid tribute to them one by one.
By the time he reached the twentieth table, Wei Chen was already drunk, and by the fiftieth table, he was even talking with a loud tongue.
Wei Chen knew that if he continued to be so respectful, he might not even be able to get into the bridal chamber, so he immediately called Yuan An and asked him to only fill the jug with one-tenth of the wine, and mix the rest with water.
Next, when Wei Chen toasted again, Yuan An held the wine bottle and stayed with Wei Chen. After Wei Chen toasted a glass, Yuan An added another. Except for Wei Chen's bladder being bloated, his mind was finally much clearer.
Dozens more tables were served in this way. When they arrived at Gu Tingye's table, Gu Tingye saw Wei Chen's appearance and immediately guessed that there was something behind it. He deliberately teased: "Xingyun is such a good drinker. He can't get drunk after a thousand cups!"
Wei Chen knew that he couldn't hide it from Gu Tingye. After looking around, he smiled bitterly and begged: "These one hundred and fifty guests, come down one by one. Even if they are made of steel, they can't withstand such a torment. This is also a helpless move for me. I still can't stand it." Please Zhong Huai don’t expose it.”
Gu Tingye smiled noncommittally, leaned closer and whispered: "With your acting skills, even if I don't tell, someone will see it sooner or later. If you don't want to be exposed, you still need to learn the skills of Yang Zui."
Wei Chen's heart moved when he heard this, and then he remembered that Gu Tingye used to hang out among the Qin Tower and the Chu Pavilion all year round. He was an expert in this kind of thing!
"Please Zhong Huai teach me."
"Haha, come here. I will be like this, you will be like this, I will be like this, and you will be like this..."
…
In the new house, two dragon and phoenix red candles lit up the lanterns. The red candlelight reflected the red lanterns hanging from the roof beams, making the house a warm red.
Sandalwood lingers in the celadon lion button incense burner at the bedside. The candlelight and incense mist make the room hazy, making the bride in the fifth-grade pleasant crown look extremely attractive.
Ru Lan sat alone in front of the dressing table, looking at the bejeweled girl in the bronze mirror.
She usually didn't care much about these gold and silver utensils, but now that she saw herself wearing a complete set of jewelry, she felt as if she had eaten honey.
Especially the gold bracelet that she just got, the more Rulan looked at it, the more she wanted to see it. She couldn't help but reach out and touch it gently, her eyes were full of sweetness.
】
In fact, the Wei family grew up in Weihan, and the materials and workmanship of this family heirloom gold bracelet were average, far less valuable than Rulan's own jewelry.
But the meaning it carries, in Ru Lan's eyes, is enough to eclipse all jade treasures.
Because it can only be worn by the Wei family's daughter-in-law. Wearing it means that she is that person's wife.
When she thought of this, Ru Lan's heart that had just calmed down began to beat loudly again. When she looked at herself in the mirror, her face was as red as an apple.
Ru Lan was so embarrassed that she covered her cheeks with both hands, but she felt hot, as if she was holding a piece of hot cake.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the house, and then someone shouted: "The master is back in the house!"
Rulan suddenly woke up, jumped up from the stool, and returned to the eight-foot-high, nine-foot-long, and one-foot-wide red sandalwood bed. She placed her little hands on her thighs and sat upright. .
Not long after, Chen's mother's voice came from outside: "My uncle is drunk. Someone will help him into the house."
After a while, the door of the room was pushed open, and Wei Chen was helped into the room drunkenly, smelling of alcohol all over his body.
Seeing this, Ru Lan quickly moved out of the way and let the two rough ladies put Wei Chen on the bed.
Seeing Wei Chen lying on the bed exhausted, his half-open eyes red, and the strong smell of alcohol coming out when he breathed, Ru Lan felt distressed and aggrieved: "Why are you so drunk?"
Mother Chen said: "There are one hundred and fifty guests, many of whom are dignitaries. To be disrespectful is to offend others... My uncle was tortured today and he vomited outside just now."
Ru Lan also sighed helplessly when he heard this and ordered: "You have been busy all day, go and have a rest."
Mother Chen and several female servants immediately bowed to leave and quietly closed the door.
Ru Lan endured the smell of alcohol and took off the net towel, hat and put away the boots, socks and shirt for Wei Chen who was lying on the bed. Wet the handkerchief with hot water and wipe his face carefully.
Everything is just like a wife serving her husband, patiently and meticulously. Although Ru Lan is just a new wife, she is seriously learning how to fulfill the responsibilities of a wife.
Ru Lan finished wiping Wei Chen's face and was about to turn him over, but saw Wei Chen suddenly sitting up, his eyes clear, and he didn't look half drunk.
"Wow, you're pretending to be drunk!"
Ru Lan's eyes widened, she was surprised and happy, and threw the handkerchief on Wei Chen angrily.
Wei Chen stretched out his hand to catch the handkerchief with a smile, looked at Ru Lan intently, and said with a half-smile, "My husband is so drunk, don't you dislike me?"
Meeting Wei Chen's aggressive eyes and feeling the heat in his eyes, Ru Lan, who had been so aggressive just now, suddenly became silent and lowered her head with a guilty conscience. Her heart was beating so hard that she couldn't even move while sitting on the bed. Don't dare to move.
Wei Chen leaned over to her ear and chuckled: "My wife has worked hard just now, now it's time for my husband to serve my wife."
Ru Lan became more and more nervous and her body tensed up, but she had no intention of stopping Wei Chen. She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and let Wei Chen undress and untie her.
In the darkness with her eyes closed tightly, Ru Lan's other feelings became particularly clear.
A pair of big hands rubbed his waist, the sound of breathing became heavier in his ears, and the warm masculine breath came from the tip of his nose.
Those big hands were groping around restlessly, making Ru Lan's whole body heat up. Her cheeks, neck, chest... everything was so hot that it seemed like it was about to melt.
"Officer..." Rulan's delicate body could not help but tremble slightly, and she murmured softly.
Wei Chen put a little more force on his hand, biting her lovely crystal clear earlobe, and moaned like a devil.
"I don't like this title of husband. I used to call you husband. Have you forgotten?"
Rulan suddenly felt an uncontrollable shyness, her eyes were filled with mist, and her delicate body curled up involuntarily.
"Chen..., Brother Chen..., if you receive the favor for the first time, please ask brother..., please brother..., show mercy..."
