Kong Qingyun has a lively and outgoing nature and looks a little careless, but he can become the core disciple of the Kong family, which naturally has his own merits.
Being able to witness the marriage of the Liu and Cao families with his own eyes would be a great way to join in the fun, but the Kong family had already made arrangements for this matter. Since Kong Qingyun was not notified of his participation, it would definitely be a violation of family rules if he went on his own. !
If Kong Qingyun was really discovered while attending the wedding banquet, although it was not a particularly serious fault, he would definitely be punished by being banned from the family and canceling his rotation. Therefore, Kong Qingyun must find an accomplice to go together.
The advantage of doing this is that firstly, the fault can be shared and the punishment will not be too heavy at once. Secondly, if a popular figure in the family is used as a shield, Kong Qingyun will naturally be much safer!
As for the shield, in Kong Qingyun’s opinion, is there anyone more suitable than Kong Ming
Kong Ming is now a popular figure in the family, and it is almost certain that he will be accepted as the direct disciple by the third ancestor. Even the head of the family, Kong Fanshu, must be polite and not act like an elder when facing Kong Ming. If something really happened, as long as Kong Qingyun was with Kong Ming, the elders in the family would not make it too difficult for him.
This is Kong Qingyun's wishful thinking. It's not that Kong Ming didn't notice his little thoughts. However, the marriage between the Liu and Cao families is not only a matter for the Kong family, but also for the entire Cangnan Empire. If you have the opportunity to see this incredible event with your own eyes, you can't miss it.
Now that Kong Ming has recognized himself as a member of the Kong family, he naturally has to pay attention to matters related to the family's misfortunes. Moreover, the Cao and Liu families were both the top forces in the Cangnan Empire. Seeing the characters of these two families would help Kong Ming better understand the situation.
That's why Kong Ming agreed to Kong Qingyun and join in the fun together. So, Kong Ming and Kong Qingyun went out together. It was the last time they left the Kong family manor together after their last trip to Fangshan.
With Kong Ming's support, Kong Qingyun was naturally arrogant, and the only one who felt a little disappointed might be Mo Yue. Because once Kong Ming goes out to do errands, it means that he will have no chance to spend the "two-person world" with Mo Yue today. Fortunately, Mo Yue knew that Kong Ming was a person who wanted to do big things, and she could never hold Kong Ming back, so she didn't show any strange behavior in front of Kong Ming.
The Liu family is one of the top wealthy families in the imperial capital. Although it is not as exaggerated as the Kong family who can monopolize a Chongwen District, in the Antai District where dignitaries gather, the Liu family's mansion is definitely one of the largest!
The three consecutive streets are all occupied by the Liu family. There are many houses in the mansion, and I don't know if there are thousands of them.
In front of the gate of the Liu family, there is a tall archway. It looks relatively new. It was built under the order of the current emperor of the empire. It has the personal approval of Yubi: "One family has seven ministers, father and son, and three ministers!"
This memorial arch represents the supreme glory of the Liu family. It is also what the current head of the Liu family, Liu Houde, said when he took over as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel after his father and second uncle, when the current emperor personally praised the achievements of the Liu family, "One family, seven Minister, father and son, three ministers!"
Among the civil servants of the Cangnan Empire, apart from the Kong family, the Liu family undoubtedly holds the second place!
Today is the wedding day between the fifth son of the Liu family, Liu Shaoxing, and the young lady of the Cao family. Naturally, the entire Liu family residence is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, filling a festive atmosphere.
The Liu family is a scholarly family, and weddings are held in accordance with ancient rituals. The team to receive the bride will not return home until the golden wedding time. However, in the three blocks that now belong to the Liu family, in addition to the main block, there is still room for the team to pass, and the other two On every street, at least more than 10,000 flowing seats have been set up. Anyone who wants to congratulate the Liu family can sit at any of the seats.
When Kong Ming and Kong Qingyun came to the archway in front of Liu's house, the flowing water banquet had been open for most of the day, and they saw people everywhere and it was very lively!
Kong Qingyun looked at the Liu family's archway and said with a smile: "Although this archway is majestic, it is still far behind the one in our Kong family!"
What Kong Qingyun said is definitely true. After all, the Kong family's archway was built by the order of the founding emperor Hu Shuo. Its weight is naturally much heavier than that of the current emperor. Coupled with the eight words written on the memorial arch of the Confucius family, "civilians dismount their sedan chairs, and military generals dismount their horses", their majestic and domineering character far exceeds the Liu family's praise of "one family with seven ministers, father and son with three ministers!" .
In fact, this is also the difference between the Kong family and the Liu family! After all, the Liu family was an emerging family force that emerged while the Cangnan Empire was developing and growing. Compared with giant families like the Kong family, who were the founding heroes of the country, their backgrounds are quite different!
Kong Ming vaguely understood why the Liu family wanted to marry the Cao family. After all, in the Cangnan Empire, apart from the Hu family, only the Cao family could compete with the Kong family.
How could a family with infinite glory be willing to always stand in second place? Even if you have any thoughts or actions, they are understandable.
Of course, the reason for the marriage between the Liu family and the Cao family cannot be just that simple. Maybe there is a deeper reason, but it is not something that Kong Ming can understand now.
The Liu family set up the running-water banquet on the street, and the dignitaries who were actually invited by the Liu family naturally sat at the banquet in the mansion. Moreover, on this happy day, the Liu family had put some effort into safety.
The flowing banquets opened on the street have a complicated flow of customers, so they cannot disturb the real distinguished guests. Therefore, there are guards and private soldiers of the Liu family setting up posts at both ends of the street and under the courtyard wall of the mansion to prevent other people from waiting. Taking advantage of the chaos, he sneaked into Liu Mansion.
And now, there are two "miscellaneous people waiting", ready to find an opportunity to sneak into the Liu Mansion and see what the Liu family's real wedding banquet looks like. Moreover, these two "miscellaneous people" are highly skilled and have the cultivation of high-level yuan masters. The sentries and guards set up by the Liu Mansion are like air in their eyes. How can they stop them
These two "miscellaneous people" are naturally Kong Ming and Kong Qingyun. They took advantage of the bustle of the open-flowing seats and followed the crowd to the depths of a street. Then, when the crowds were buzzing all around, they just swayed slightly and disappeared in the crowd, but appeared in the next moment. Within the Liu Mansion!
