Northern Dynasties

Chapter 461 The Second Bridesmaid
As the other party of the wedding, Li Tai's family is a bit deserted compared to his husband's family. Although there are also a constant stream of congratulators, the number is still quite inferior to that of Dugu Xin's family.

This is not because Li Tai's contacts are not as good as his father-in-law's. After all, he has not been in vain in the past few years since he came to Kansai, and their Longxi Li family also has many former students, and he is very popular recently. If the villagers from Shangyuan and the Luoshui River, and the disciples from Jingzhong who worshiped him, if they all gathered in the mansion, the scene would surpass his husband's family in a matter of minutes.

There are other reasons why the scene is not lively today.Glancing at the guards scattered inside and outside the mansion, Li Tai couldn't help but secretly sighed, he really couldn't figure out what kind of crazy Daxingtai was smoking, and he wanted to come to his house for a wedding today.

No matter in terms of seniority, status or mutual friendship, even if Yu Wentai wants to be present in person to congratulate today, it would be more reasonable to go to Dugu Xin's home. Therefore, when the two weddings were preparing for the wedding, they also planned according to this situation. However, I didn't expect Yu Wentai to come out, but went straight to Li Tai's house.

This caught the two families a little off guard. Dugu Xin's family didn't prepare too many places to entertain guests. After all, if Daxingtai came, they couldn't let too many idlers wait to enter, but Li Tai's family had prepared a big banquet for guests. In the end, Yu Chijiong brought the guards to clear the field.

So his family either diverted some of the guests to the husband's house, or sent some of the guests' gifts to Longshou Yuanzhuang first, and it took a while to be busy, and this was the only way to stabilize the situation.

Li Tai sneaked out of the hall while Gao Zhongmi and his cousins ​​were entertaining Daxingtai and his party, and ordered Li Licheng and Li Quji to appease and apologize to some guests who were persuaded to leave because of Daxingtai's arrival, and More delicious food and wine will be transported to Longshouyuan, so that the guests can enjoy themselves.

If Daxingtai wanted to make a surprise attack, he really couldn't do anything about it. After all, this mansion was still an old house, and it would be a bit unreasonable for him to marry a wife here.

However, Li Tai seriously suspects that the reason why Yu Wentai came to his own house instead of Dugu Xin's is actually very simple. He is worried that Dugu Xin might mess with him if he gets too drunk. After all, he just took Longyou from others. It is also uncertain whether the enemy will be jealous when they meet each other.

After explaining the matter, he hurried into the hall again. Hearing the seemingly harmonious laughter of the crowd, he moved to his seat in small steps and sat down.

"Sure enough, people have a happy event and their spirits are refreshed. This disciple is already in good spirits. It is even more glorious to meet the joy of getting married on this day! Who dares to laugh at me that there is no one under my family!"

Yu Wentai was still wearing a riding cap that had become one of his symbols, looked down and saw Li Tai returned to his seat, raised his hand and pointed at him and said with a smile to everyone, his admiration was beyond words, and he looked at the side of the waiter Yu Wenyu, the eldest son of Yu, said: "It is a lot of pressure for you to fall in love with such a person. The purpose of bringing you here today is to let you see the gap between each other. The popularity may be biased in the coming year." Bo, but you are not allowed to vent your anger and complain about Boshan, but to see the virtuous and think like one!"

After Yu Wenyu heard this, he nodded quickly and said yes, then looked at Li Tai and said: "There are few disciples in the middle school, Xihe Gong is the only one in the world, even if Aye doesn't warn, Yu'er is still like thunder at this time, look at this It's better to meet each other than to be famous!"

After being praised by the father and son, Li Tai hurriedly avoided the table and stood up and bowed: "The master and minister are sages, and the envoys are trembling and dare not make mistakes. The son praises the minister as the only beauty, and the minister is even more worried, fearing that there is no party. ...In fact, the nature of the minister is not abnormal. Fortunately, when he met a benefactor and gave him a good job, his appearance was only due to his success. , I am really grateful!"

While speaking, he gave a big gift to thank him, but Yu Wentai quickly waved his hands and said: "Today is your wedding gift, and from now on you will be a newcomer in the world, and you only pray for the love of heaven and earth."

Hearing this, Li Tai bowed his head, and Yu Wentai immediately said: "I know you are busy with rituals today, and with the company of all the Hua scholars in this hall, there is no need for you to stay in the hall to serve."

There are cousins ​​such as Gao Zhongmi, Cui Qian, and Lu Rou in the hall, as well as distant cousins ​​Li Gang and Li Fang, plus Lu Bian, Cui You, Zheng Daoyong, and Li Licheng's cousin Zheng Hao, etc., although the number of people is small. It is too much, but it is already the representatives of the Shandong gentry in Kansai.In addition, Guangling Wang Yuanxin and other Yuan and Wei clans, it is not deserted to accompany Daxingtai here.

So Li Tai made a confession, withdrew first, and then strode to the inner hall to look for Li Licheng.

It's only when things happen to me that I feel troubled. Regardless of how well prepared I am, there will always be variables.

Take today as an example, when Yu Wentai and King Guangling arrived, they were not just waiting for the wedding wine, they each brought a bridesmaid for Li Tai, namely Yu Wenyu and the fourth son of the emperor Yuan Kuo.

Although Li Tai had arranged a best man early in the morning, the two parties were enthusiastic about helping, and it was really hard for him to refuse, so he could only join in.

Apart from other things, at least this grade has been raised, and the two future emperors help him to welcome his relatives, although the two of them together can't handle Brother Sa Bao, after all, their status is here.It's just that when I think that Yu Wenyu will accompany me to greet the relatives, I always feel a little weird in my heart, but fortunately, no one feels wrong except myself.

Because the two bridesmaids have been replaced, the corresponding etiquette arrangements will naturally have to be adjusted.It must be known that in this era of weddings, the bridesmaids who help the man's family to welcome the bride will encounter a lot of troubles, which are much worse than the bridesmaids in later generations.

Neither the fourth prince Yuan Kuo nor Yu Wenyu, the eldest son of Daxingtai, is obviously not a suitable target for a joke, so Li Tai sent an officer to inform his father-in-law to let them adjust the layout of the barriers, and don't arrange too much The winking person disrupted the marriage, and at the same time told the bridesmaids to take good care of the two special people.

Yu Wenyu is not bad, he is already thirteen or fourteen years old and has a good understanding of human affairs, but Yuan Kuo is only in his early ten years old, and he has not even been knighted, so he seems a little nervous and shy. It is taciturn and not close to the masses.

Li Tai also had a headache when he saw this, he didn't understand why the emperor had to send this son over, even if he wanted to express his closeness and appreciation, it was more convenient and direct to wrap a big red envelope than to send a son over.

But since they are all here, they can only wait on them.Li Taiqin chose a docile mount for His Royal Highness in the stables, and even added some hidden hooks inside the bridesmaid's robe to fix it on the saddle. Don't let His Highness fall off the horse in surprise. Let several Feng lose her brother-in-law early.

Li Licheng ran back and forth, calling out to the inside and outside, his face was so busy that his face was steaming, and he was trying to repay Li Tai's kindness in organizing the wedding for him.In the inner hall, his wife, Mrs. Yang, and their aunt Feng Yi, Princess Li Zhihua, dealt with all affairs, and there were several princesses or princesses of the Yuan family.

Among them is Gao Zhongmi's blind date partner. Recently Gao Zhongmi was depressed because of the tragedy of his family. King Guangling proposed to arrange a blind date for him to alleviate the pain, and introduced his widowed cousin to Gao Zhongmi.They also see each other right, and plan to organize a new family this year.

After a lot of busy preparations, near the evening, the wedding party was finally ready.The six bridesmaids are Yuan Kuo, Yu Wenyu, Ji Feng, Zheng Quan, Lu Shen and Li Xiaoyong, the general of his own family.

Among them, Zheng Quan was the son of Zheng Wei of the Zheng family in Xingyang. Zheng Xianhu, the father of Zheng Wei, was originally a general of the Luoyang Imperial Guard.

Zheng Wei returned from Nanliang after Erzhu's demise, and later raised and responded to Dugu Xin's eastward expedition to Luoyang, so he entered the court, and now he commands thousands of township soldiers to station in Kansai, but he is not as good as Li Tai. They are like ducks in water, introduced by Dugu Xin to know and get acquainted with each other.

Lu Shen is the son of Lu Bian. Lu Bian is proficient in laws and regulations. He is the representative of the Kanto family in the court and one of the main advisers of Daxingtai to carry out various system reforms.

As the wedding party was ready, a group of people surrounded Li Tai and went out to the streets in a mighty manner, heading straight for Dugu Xin's house.

Because today is the Shangsi Festival, most of the people in the city go out to celebrate the festival, and there are not many spectators on the street. Even if there are a few sporadic ones, they are afraid to avoid and dare not go up when they see the soldiers of the imperial guards. Before, I just stood on the corner of the far street and looked around curiously, and talked about whose marriage was so big?
