Jiang also stayed at home obediently with his younger brother for a day, and the next day was Xue Ziqin's wedding day. Jiang Ye also got some information about Xue Ziqin's wedding from the old man. For a businessman like Mr. Jiang, if he wants to do a good business, the court information is indispensable.
After leaving Yanluo Pavilion and separating from Wei Lin that day, the two did not meet again. Jiang also wanted to spend more time with his parents in his spare time, but Wei Lin did not come to him, so the two naturally had no chance to meet. But Jiang is not in a hurry, Xue Ziqin will always meet on the day of his wedding.
Although Xue Ziqin said it as if he was unwilling to ask them to have a wedding wine, but after learning about Jiang Ye's family background, the evening before the wedding banquet, Xue Ziqin's invitation was sent to Jiang's house, and it was the content that Mr. Jiang personally opened and read. .
"You have a good relationship with General Xue?" Mr. Jiang took the invitation and looked around, asking Jiang Ye. He knew that Jiang also went to Yanhangu to join the army, and also knew about the affairs over Yanhangu. Everything is good in this capital, and the news comes quickly and fully. In other places, after tea and dinner, it is common to chat a little at home, but Xiangcheng is at the feet of the emperor, and everyone chats about things in the palace. Women talk about the harem. , the man chatted before.
Jiang also shook his head and said truthfully, "It doesn't really count."
"Then I sent you a special invitation?"
"I'm not too sure..." Jiang also said vaguely.
Mr. Jiang also understands that once Jiang also joins the army, it is not a matter of saying that if he can't go, he can't go. If you have a good relationship with the general, you will be able to climb to a high position in the future, which is really a good thing that will shine on the lintel. But in the current political situation, anyone who knows a little bit knows that the eldest prince is likely to be established as the heir in the near future. That is to say, the Xue family, who is in the same spirit as the third prince, is bound to be cut from power and fight with Xue Ziqin. It's not a good thing. This time, the emperor's marriage to the Xue family may be a sign of appeasement, or it may be a precursor to the reduction of power. It's hard to say.
Now Jiang Ye is already under Xue Ziqin's subordinates, and Mr. Jiang can't say anything, so he can only remind Jiang Ye a little: "The Xue family is in a bad situation now, you'd better not follow the Xue family."
Jiang also frowned and said, "It's not up to me to decide. Those who join the army are also naturalized, and deserters will be punished for their crimes."
"Father knows." Mr. Jiang sighed and said, "In short, your life is very important, don't get involved with these political affairs, and don't bother about any partisan disputes."
"understood."
Mr. Jiang handed the invitation back to Jiang Ye, and said, "Tomorrow, pick some precious jade from the shop and send it over as a congratulatory gift."
"Oh good," Jiang also said after taking the invitation, "Does Dad know that General Xue and the young lady of that family are getting married?"
"And the fourth princess."
Jiang also opened his mouth wide in surprise.
Mr. Jiang glanced at him and said, "What are you surprised about? It is normal for a court-appointed official to marry a relative of the royal family."
"I remember that the fourth princess is the direct princess?"
"That's why it is said that the emperor liked General Xue, and the outside world guessed so." Many, Mr. Jiang didn't want to go deep with Jiang. If he was a small trader, if he got entangled with the imperial court, or colluded with an official, official or businessman appointed by the imperial court, it would not end well.
"Okay, go and rest, remember to pick some gifts tomorrow, don't lose your courtesy."
the next day.
Jiang Ye went to the shop before going to Xue's house. According to what Mr. Jiang said, Jiang also picked out a good glass luminous cup, and asked the servant to carefully wrap it up and take it to Xue's house.
From a long distance, he saw Wei Lin wearing a family uniform standing with the family members, helping to receive the guests. Although there was still a little time before the divorce banquet, the gate of Xue's house was already crowded. Just by intuition, Jiang could see that all the guests who came to congratulate were from extraordinary backgrounds. A wealthy businessman in Xiangcheng. At this time, Jiang also complained that he didn't care about business affairs in the past, otherwise he might still recognize a few people who had contacts with him.
Jiang Ye didn't wear the moon white gown anymore, but changed to something more gorgeous. This was also explained by Mr. Jiang. Since the invitations were all delivered to the mansion, naturally he couldn't lose face.
Wei Linzheng nodded and bowed to help receive the congratulatory gift, and when he accidentally glanced at it, he saw Jiang Yezheng walking over unhurriedly. He was wearing a black satin dress with red silk threads on the placket and cuffs. The dark red gemstones on the belt made his whole person elegant, and under the belt, a piece of red knot was woven into it The black jade pendant is a low-key luxury. After walking in a little more, Wei Lin realized that the cloth was embroidered with black threads. If he hadn't looked carefully, he would definitely not have seen it.
"Hello, Young Master Jiang!" Wei Lin greeted Jiang happily.
Jiang also walked over and handed the congratulatory gift to him, teasing: "Yo, Big Brother Wei personally picks up the guest."
"No, I made a special trip to pick up your guest." Wei Lin looked in a good mood, smiled and handed the congratulations to the other servants, and then said very attentively, "Let's go, Young Master Jiang, I will lead you in. ." He made a polite gesture of "please", Jiang nodded with satisfaction, and stepped into the door.
Many people have already come to the house, and red silk decorations are hung everywhere, and they are full of joy.
"Why do you still come to pick up the guest in person?"
"Shh, the general said let me help."
"Then you agreed? Not your style."
"When will you be able to read minds?" Wei Lin said, leaning closer to Jiang Ye, half covering his mouth, and said mysteriously, "The general said that he would pay me two taels of silver."
"Look at your potential." Jiang said disdainfully.
As the two of them walked, they saw Xue Ziqin wearing a wedding dress, standing in the front hall unhappily, doing some superficial work with those coming and going guests.
"The general is going to marry the princess, did you know that?" Jiang also asked suddenly.
Wei Lin was surprised: "I don't know, wow, it's amazing."
The two were chatting when the doorman shouted loudly, "General Wei is here! Young Master Wei is here!" Everyone's eyes turned to the door, including Wei Lin and Jiang Ye.
Wei Lin calmly lowered the hat on his head.
some.
Wei Yuanting took Wei Tianqi into the mansion, and walked straight to Xue Ziqin: "General Xue is young and promising, congratulations to General Xue and the princess on their wedding!"
Xue Ziqin nodded without a smile: "Thank you General Wei."
Wei Lin and Jiang were also a little far apart, and no one noticed them. Wei Lin whispered, "Do you know why the servants specially called out Master Wei?"
"Um?"
"As explained by the general."
"Why?"
"Because the only son of General Wei is an ignorant scum, General Wei will feel embarrassed like this. You think, the son of General Wei can't lead troops to fight. Being drunk and dreaming of dying in the kiln hall is really... enviable."
Wei Lin was talking, but he actually started to envy him. Jiang was also stunned by these words. Looking at Wei Lin's face, the envious look on his face was really not fake. Thinking about what Wei Lin said about Wei Tianqi just now, it seems to be true, Wei Lin must be envious of this kind of person.
The royal wedding was naturally very lively. The princess' guard of honor came out from the side gate of Xuanyang Palace. On the way, a mighty brigade went to Xue Palace. The civilians of Xiangcheng came out and stood on both sides of the road to watch the excitement, and there were even young men. They are all scrambling to find an opportunity, waiting for the wind to blow the princess's gauze, so that I can see the princess's demeanor.
There is no need to beat gongs and drums for the guard of honor, and just watching the discussions of the civilians is noisy enough. When you approached, Xue Ziqin reluctantly stood in front of the door waiting for the honor guard of the princess, Min Qiu and Guo Linchong stood behind him, wearing armor, looking like Xue Ziqin's guards.
Jiang Ye and Wei Lin stood on the other side watching, and then they saw the person they saw at the door of Yanluo Pavilion that day. The man stood beside Xue Ziqin, Xue Ziqin bowed very cautiously, and called out, "Foster father."
Jiang Ye heard the words and said to Wei Lin, "Look, it really is Xue Changfeng."
The princess' guard of honor went from the street to the gate of Xue's house in a blink of an eye.
If an ordinary person gets married, the groom goes up to open the sedan door, welcomes the bride out, and then goes to the church, which is very simple. But now that Xue Ziqin is married to a princess, it is naturally very different. As soon as the guard of honor stopped at the door, everyone knelt down and salute: "See Princess Yun."
Jiang Ye and Wei Lin knelt in the crowd of commoners, and Wei Lin muttered unhappily, "I'm about to get married, and I still have such a grand style."
"The big one is still behind."
Across the gauze, no one could see what the princess looked like, not to mention her hijab. I saw the princess raised her hand on the guard of honor, but she didn't say anything, the servant next to her said for her: "Everyone is exempt from the ceremony."
According to the rules, Xue Ziqin now only needs to open the gauze and lead the princess to enter the door. Xue Ziqin looked unhappy, but he still walked to the gauze tent, picked up the jade Ruyi held by the slave servant, and opened the gauze tent. The princess also cooperated and walked out gently. The hijab was not made of red silk, but a piece of gauze, and you could vaguely see the princess' face and the complicated and gorgeous headdress on her head.
"Princess please."
"You don't have to be so polite," said the princess.
Xue Ziqin's expression was complicated, and then he took the princess's hand as if he were dying, and the two stepped into the gate of the mansion. The musicians brought in the palace immediately played the music, and Jiang Ye and Wei Lin followed behind the crowd.
Jiang is also very interested in the drama of the church, but Wei Lin is not interested. As a result, Wei Lin ran to the kitchen to help, and Liu Jiang watched by himself.
Jiang also looked at Xue Ziqin, that stinky face was even more stinky when he was in the hall than he usually had in the military camp, and for some reason he felt a little cool. When Xue Ziqin was forced to marry him today, he still forced him to marry.
Almost as soon as it got dark, the banquet started.
The front hall was filled with large round tables, and there were many guests, about thirty tables.
Jiang Ye, Wei Lin and the others sat at a table with Min Qiu, Zhou Xiao, and the others. The next table was Xue Changfeng, Wei Yuanting, and the others, which made them all eat very cautiously at the wedding banquet, for fear that something might go wrong. During the whole wedding banquet, I am afraid that the most solemn expression was at their table. Everyone was immersed in their food and kept silent, but the cynical sarcasm at the next table became their next meal.
"Brother Wei came here specially today, it's really a loss to welcome you."
"Why did General Xue say this, you and I are old friends for many years, and you still care about those red tapes?"
"Brother Wei is right. I was really surprised to see Ling Lang today."
"Oh?"
"I haven't seen him for many years. Ling Lang is just like in the past. The world is not good and people's hearts are unpredictable. It is very rare to have a pure heart like Tianqi. Brother Wei really taught a good son."
"How can it be better than General Xue's fortune. General Xue is young and promising. Now that he is married to Princess Yun, he will definitely show his strength in the capital in the future."
"Thanks to the emperor's grace, the dog and I will definitely live up to the emperor's grace."
Jiang also listened and listened, completely unable to understand what meaningful words they were talking about here, so he quietly poked Wei Lin in the waist, lowered his voice and asked, "What are they talking about? "
"Laugh at each other."
"Why do I sound like praising each other?"
"You're stupid, Wei Yuanting and Xue Changfeng have always been at odds, so how can they praise each other."
"I didn't hear it anyway."
Wei Lin frowned, and said impatiently, "I'll translate for you, 'Wei Laogou, what are you doing here, I don't want to pick you up', 'Do you like it or not', 'Your son was born a few years ago' This unpromising look, it's still like this now, it's really trash', 'Your son has been cut off from military power and trapped in the capital, you still have time to take care of my son'."
"What about the last sentence?" Jiang also asked.
"The last sentence?" Wei Lin didn't understand which sentence it was.
"It's the phrase 'by the grace of the emperor'."
"Oh, it probably means 'fuck your mother, it's none of your business'." Wei Lin said seriously.
