Chapter 1466: Choosing an Auspicious Day

Liangshan City.

At the end of the year, many generals were preparing to get married, and they all chose to write a letter to request Emperor Sun Lei to select an auspicious day.

When Sun Lei saw the dozen or so bright red memorials, he was speechless. He had no idea how to choose an auspicious date, and he didn't dare to be careless about his brother's lifelong event.

Expert Gongsun Sheng was called in for calculations, and it was found that there was only one auspicious day this month.

What's going on? If they keep doing this, more than a dozen weddings will take half a year, so Sun Lei decided to hold a wedding for his brothers and he, the emperor, would go to congratulate them in person.

If it were for other reasons, it would definitely be a bad idea to hold the wedding together. More than a dozen families would seem chaotic, and the most worrying thing is that the bride would have objections.

But it is different when the emperor comes in person. It is a great honor, a great thing that you cannot ask for. For the woman, it is a happy event that brings honor to the family.

"This one belongs to Coach Wang Jin!"

"This one belongs to General Zhang Qing!"

"This one belongs to General Shi Jin!"

"This one belongs to Li Kui!"

……

Hua Chan, Li Shishi, Hu Sanniang, and Cheng Wan'er carefully counted the gifts one by one, although it would be a great honor for the newlyweds if the royal family went.

"According to what I said, one imperial edict is enough for each family, and they will have to be worshipped in the ancestral hall when the time comes!"

Sun Lei felt a little pained when he looked at the pile of gifts, as there were quite a few good things in them.

"I have never seen an emperor as stingy as you. Those are brothers who fought for the world together! You don't think it's shameful, but I do!"

Hua Chan patted Sun Lei. He knew that Sun Lei was not really reluctant to let go, but just thought it was too troublesome. He felt that the most important thing in the friendship between brothers is to be intimate, not to care about superficial efforts.

But after all, they are brothers who have been through life and death together, and each of them has fought for the Sun family. The gift cannot be too light and disappointing. Even if the brothers don't care, the girl's side also cares, and the people watching the ceremony also care. It's a matter of face.

"That's right. They gave me a lot of gifts back then! Now I have to give them back. This is called reciprocity!"

Li Shishi said seriously.

"Then put your ring in there. When Shi Jin's wife saw you last time, her eyes widened!"

Sun Lei pointed at the beautiful sapphire ring on Li Shishi's hand.

"no!"

Li Shishi immediately covered the ring on her hand, fearing that it would be snatched away. Her stinginess made Sun Lei laugh.

"Don't tease me, Junior Sister. We'll take care of the gifts, and you'll just be in charge of drinking!"

Cheng Wan'er smiled.

"How can I drink so much by myself? I need to find a few wine barrels to protect me!"

Sun Lei immediately thought of Lu Zhishen and Wu Song. He had to keep these two men, Zuo Jianglong and You Fuhu, close to him when the time came, otherwise he would be soaked in the wine jar after drinking a bowl of wine from the table.

"Let Sanniang help you drink. Sanniang can drink a lot!"

Li Shishi laughed jokingly.

"How dare you, little girl, make fun of me!"

Hu Sanniang waved her hand and was about to strangle Li Shishi, but Li Shishi had already hidden behind Sun Lei.

"Okay, you guys make the arrangements!"

After playing around for a while, Sun Lei left. He was mainly afraid that there were too many gifts and they would get mixed up. It is not the lack of gifts that is worrying, but the uneven distribution of gifts. It would be bad if one of them was missing.

Sun Lei left the palace, looked for Lu Zhishen who was dozing in a small temple, and took a boat from Jinshatan to the Youguqi Hotel.

"I'm not saying anything to you, brother. If you can't understand it, don't look at it. The Buddha statue is dead. Are you going to imitate him and doze off while sitting?"

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen speechlessly. This guy was sitting in front of the Buddha reading Buddhist scriptures, but his snoring could be heard outside the temple. He was reading all the Buddhist scriptures to Zhou Gong.

"I was just feeling sleepy for a moment!"

Lu Zhishen explained that he was indeed reciting the Buddhist scriptures seriously, but he fell asleep at some point.

"Come on, you can just tell the Buddha what I mean. I don't believe it!"

Sun Lei waved his hand, indicating that he did not believe Lu Zhishen's nonsense.

"Why are you dragging me down the mountain in such a hurry?"

Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei and asked, "Find Erlang first, I have a mission for you!"

Sun Lei took Lu Zhishen to Wu Dalang's pancake stall. Wu Song, you must be in the pancake shop on the mountain.

After finding Wu Song, Sun Lei brought the two of them to the waterside and talked about the matter of blocking the wine.

"This isn't the first time this has happened, what's wrong with you, brother?"

Lu Zhishen said nonchalantly, this is not the first or second time that brothers have drunk together, why are they so careful this time?

"We are still with the woman, and I am the emperor, so I cannot get drunk. So I need you two dukes to help block them."

Sun Lei looked at the two of them and said, it’s okay for brothers to drink, but at the wedding there are not only brothers but also the bride’s family.

  If they came here to drink, it would be fine, but if they came here to establish a relationship, what would he do? He couldn't spoil the fun on a big day, so he needed someone to stop them. Who would dare to say anything when the two dukes came forward?

"Haha, don't worry, brother, I'm here!"

Lu Zhishen patted his chest and said.

"Brother, I know!"

Wu Song also promised.

"I'm reminding you specifically, don't forget it when you drink!"

Sun Lei warned the two of them that they were both very interested in people and were prone to drinking. Once they drank, they would easily forget everything.

"rest assured!"

The two men patted their chests and made the assurance.

"You are the ungrateful man who let down the principal!"

At this moment, a childish voice sounded, and the voice came straight to Sun Lei.

"Whose child is running around? Be careful to get spanked!"

Sun Lei looked over in the direction of the sound and saw a boy about ten years old holding a branch he had picked up from somewhere, looking at him with a righteous expression, like a knight.

"You are such a heartless man!"

The child was not afraid at all when he saw that Sun Lei was accompanied by three people, and he continued pointing at Sun Lei and shouting.

"You little bastard, I think you deserve a beating!"

Sun Lei looked at the boy and threatened him.

An aura of majesty emanated from him, and the boy was so scared that he turned around and tried to run, but Wu Song had already gone over and picked up the boy with one hand.

"Boy, do you know that this is the Emperor? Aren't you afraid of being beheaded for speaking without restraint?"

Wu Song looked at the struggling child and laughed. This kid was a bit like a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger.

"I'm telling the truth, what am I afraid of?"

The child yelled.

"Not afraid? Then why are you shaking?"

Sun Lei looked at the shivering boy and laughed. He knew without hesitation that the principal was referring to the school's vice-president Li Qingzhao.

“No shaking!”

  The child yelled with a red face, but his body was shaking honestly. Facing the emperor, the two dukes, and the guards who surrounded them, how could a ten-year-old child not be afraid?

"Put him down, don't pee!"

Sun Lei waved his hand.

Wu Song brought the boy over with a smile and patted him on the head.

"That's quite courageous. Are you willing to learn martial arts from me?"

Lu Zhishen was very satisfied with the child's courage.

"I don't want to be a monk!"

The child no longer cared about being afraid and shouted, covering his hair.

"I didn't say I would help you shave your head, I just wanted to teach you martial arts!"

Lu Zhishen was also speechless.
