Gui Yuan

Chapter 5 Marriage

The Ning Mansion was only two streets away from the Duke's Mansion, and the guard of honor wished to use their lifelong skills to blow the air of the power of the Duke and the Prime Minister of the Left during the short distance, attracting many people to stop and watch along the way.

Many young women gathered together in twos and threes on the side of the street, and one of them said enviously, "Mr. Ning is so amazingly handsome. Hey, it's a pity that he married Mr. An."

The other person was full of regret: "I still envy Mr. Ning. Mr. An is popular and his status is very important. Just passing by the gate of the Duke's mansion, you can marvel at the magnificent wall, not to mention how glorious it is inside. Mr. Ning Although she is good-looking but has a bad reputation, this marriage is too expensive."

……

Ning Qing didn't have to sit on the flower bridge and wear a hijab like a woman, but rode separately with Wei Yao. Wei Yao was half a horse behind him, and Ning Qing's horse was pulled slowly by the red silk.Behind them are all of Wei Yao's subordinates, all of whom have taken off their military uniforms, but they can't change their actions for a while, which can be seen in the military style.The one who walks at the end is the dowry that can't be seen at a glance. Such a scene has never been seen since the founding of the Great Wei.

When they arrived at the Duke's Mansion, everyone got off their horses, Zhao Min stuffed a piece of red silk into their hands, and Wei Yao led him into the mansion.The pavilions, pavilions, and waterside corridors in the mansion pass one by one before reaching the main hall. At this time, the guests have already taken their seats and are waiting for the couple.

As soon as the two of them entered the hall, various congratulatory voices came from all directions. Wei Yao responded one by one with a smile. Ning Qing had no friendship with them, and knew that they were talking to Wei Yao, so he just smiled and nodded as a courtesy. number.

When the time came, the ritual officer cleared his throat: "Salute."

The officials who had been chatting loudly just now were silent for a moment, waiting quietly to watch the ceremony.

Only then did Ning Qing realize that there was no one sitting on the upper seat, and there were only two spiritual seats, which belonged to Wei Yao's deceased parents.He originally thought that on such an occasion, there should be a high-ranking relative with a high level of seniority or an elder of the clan to sit on top of it, but after thinking about it, it also made sense.On the title day of the gold list and the wedding ceremony in the bridal chamber, although the marriage is not a serious person, it is the first time, and it is much better to always tell the parents, than to salute to a distinguished guest whose name is unknown.

Ning Qing prepared Wei Yao to take him to the spiritual seat, and saluted according to the ritual officer's recitation.

One bow to the sky and the earth, two bows to the ancestor's spiritual mansion, three bows to the lover, and spend the spring and autumn together...

Ning Qing lowered his eyes and saluted Wei Yao, thinking to himself: good words, it's hard for the Ministry of Rites to come up with such good words for the two of them at the critical moment of the prince's wedding.

After the ceremony, if it was an ordinary family, the bride would enter the bridal chamber, and the groom would stay behind for the reception, but they are a special couple, since they are both men and there is no need to avoid suspicion, both of them are socializing in the hall.

Ning Qing and Wei Yao held wine glasses, and Lin Rong followed behind them with a wine bottle, passing by table by table.Ning Qing looked at the guests at fifty tables inside and outside the hall and thought helplessly: This is still a simplified scene, it really is extraordinary.

If it hadn't been for relying on Wei Yao, Ning Qing thought that he would have no chance in this life to meet so many royal relatives, respected officials and ministers.

Others may not be very close to Wei Yao, most of them just come here for a scene, have a drink to cheer up and let it go, but it's not easy to use when it comes to Wei Yao's subordinates.

Zhao Min led a group of subordinates to yell: "General, we all know how much you drink, isn't a glass of wine enough?"

After all, Wei Yao got married today, and he was in a good mood, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what do you think?"

Everyone looked at them, and smiled maliciously: "We don't let the general drink too much, so as not to delay the good time, why don't we drink three cups each?"

Ning Qing thought about it, it was only three cups, so he agreed, but Zhao Min took out the wine that had been hidden long ago from the bottom of the table and put it on the table: "It's just that this wine must be the fine wine we brought from northern Xinjiang. .”

Northern Xinjiang is not like the imperial capital, but an extremely cold place. The people in northern Xinjiang are good at brewing wine. In winter, a pot of wine is always warmed on the stove, and drinking a cup from outside is the best way to warm up.Ning Qing had never drank it before, but he had heard that this wine was famous for its pungent, strong, fragrant, and spicy taste. However, he was deep in the imperial capital, and he drank some pleasant wine, which was light and fragrant, so it was naturally incomparable with the wine in Northern Xinjiang.

Wei Yao glanced at him, Ning Qing said with a smile: "Do as the Romans do, everyone has been stationed in Northern Xinjiang for many years. I have never experienced it personally. It is really rare to be lucky enough to drink wine from Northern Xinjiang."

Ning Qing called out to Lin Rong who was already stunned: "What are you still doing, pour it for us."

Lin Rong hurriedly put down the wine in his hand, took the wine in front of Zhao Min, and poured it for Ning Qing and Wei Yao.After three cups, Ning Qing smiled calmly.At this time, Zhao Min's initial preconceptions about Ning Qing completely disappeared.

Wei Yao saw it, glanced at the table, and asked Zhao Min, "Has Zhongzhi not come?"

Zhao Min nodded: "I've asked. He was fascinated by something when he was traveling abroad, and he couldn't think of it anymore. He only said that he would definitely make up a congratulatory gift in the future."

Wei Yao responded, turned around and said to Ning Qing: "Xiao Yuan is a doctor in the army, this time is unfortunate, I will introduce you next time."

Ning Qing had heard of this person's name, but it was a pity that he couldn't meet him today, so he smiled: "It's okay."

The wine party in Beijiang only felt pungent when entering the mouth, and the wine strength would come up later, and Ning Qing drank other wines, and it was even more out of control when mixed together. Although it could not be seen on the surface, Ning Qing's pace was A little fuzzy, Wei Yao gently pulled him, and respected all the visitors, everyone would look at the color and didn't make things difficult for them.

After sending the man away, several lieutenants still wanted to make trouble in the bridal chamber, Wei Yao said in a deep voice, "It's fine if you want to make a bridal chamber, but I will double return it tomorrow, who wants to come?"

A few people understood instantly, shivered for a while, and said submissively: "How can you do this, General."

Seeing this, Zhao Min hurried over and interjected: "You guys are so interested, why don't we drink a few more tanks, and we won't go home until we're drunk, so don't delay the general's good deeds."

Everyone responded one after another, and after a while, there was no one left.

Ning Qing didn't even have a clear consciousness at this time, Lin Rong was pulling him, and said to Lin Rong: "Leave your son to me, you go down to get a reward and get some rest earlier."

Lin Rong watched him take Ning Qing over, suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Okay, sir, take your time."

When he arrived in the room, Ning Qing had already fallen asleep. Wei Yao put him on the couch and settled him down. He bent over and lowered his head to look carefully for a long time. He couldn't help laughing and said, "It's such a quiet time to sleep."

Wei Yao took out a mattress from the closet, and slept on the soft bed in the room overnight.

The next day when Ning woke up, it was already high in the sun, and Wei Yao was nowhere to be seen. When Lin Rong entered the room to wash up, he asked, "Where is the lord?"

"I went to the school grounds early in the morning." Lin Rong hesitated to say: "Grandpa is really mighty. He woke up at dawn after sleeping in the middle of the night. His physique is really... admirable."

Ning Qing took a deep breath, turned her head and smiled and said, "Your thoughts are quite wild, I will ask the father-in-law for you one day and see what he has to say."

Lin Rong looked bitter and bitter, took his master's hand, and almost knelt down: "My lord, I was wrong, I dare not do it again, please forgive me."

Ning Qing was amused by him, changed his clothes and said, "It's time for lunch now, right?"

"Yes, I'm going to order the kitchen?"

There were a lot of people yesterday, and then he was drunk again. Now Ning Qing realized that the entire Duke’s mansion was filled with soldiers in military uniform. After seeing him, he gave a military salute and went to the kitchen to have a look. Fortunately, the cook was Serious cook.Fortunately, Wei Yao had ordered him before, and they still called him the son according to the name of the Ning family. Ning Qing had to be grateful for this. If a group of people really called him madam, he would die of aggrieved death.

Although he is married, Wei Yao doesn't care about him, and he can't speak a few words on weekdays.It's just that everyone knows that Ning Qing has married into the Duke's mansion, and his cronies are not sloppy at all, even if they make appointments, they only drink tea in the teahouse peacefully, life is much more boring than before.
