Chapter 1011: Greeting Relatives
Huaishu Hutong, Wu Mansion.
As a procession of gongs and drums came in from the entrance of the alley, a burst of firecrackers crackled in front of the door.
Lin Haoran, who was dressed as a groom's official, was riding on a jujube red horse, and there was a group of catchers in front of him to help open the way. Although he is very resistant to getting married, he can still handle it calmly when it comes to the moment.
"The sedan chair is coming!"
Several women who had followed them to the door and shouted loudly inside. The woman's voice is very magical, and she doesn't need to go through a megaphone, which is enough to transmit words from the front door to the back house.
According to the etiquette system, in order to show filial piety, the woman will definitely not take the initiative to come out, and the groom needs to personally enter to welcome the bride out.
The sedan chair represents the meaning of the Ming media's marriage, and a matchmaker dressed up in a fancy way leads the sedan chair into the Wu Mansion. It's just that the gate is covered, not allowing this sedan chair to enter inside, commonly known as "blocking the sedan door".
"It's hard work!"
Lin Fu distributed the prepared laisee bags and used money to open the way, which sent away the troublesome boys and girls.
After all, Lin Haoran is not an ordinary groom official, he is now a fourth-grade official of the imperial court, and he is likely to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future, how dare these young men and women really make trouble.
The sedan chair entered the front yard, and the door of the sedan chair was placed outward, and it could not be facing the gate.
Wu Huashou held a burning red candle and mirror, opened the sedan curtain, and took a serious look at the sedan chair, which is called expelling the unjust ghosts hiding in the sedan chair, commonly known as "searching the sedan chair".
Weddings in this era are very cumbersome, but many guests like to watch such a show, and many men, women and children are watching with relish around the surroundings, holding a handful of melon seeds in their hands.
This can be described as a well-matched marriage, the Wu family has a good reputation in Jiangxi, and Wu Shangui is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the current dynasty, and has a very high reputation in Shilin.
Lin Haoran is an unprecedented Wenkui background, and is currently the Shuntian Mansion Yin of the fourth grade, and his family is quite rich, and he is married to Wu Shan's daughter at the moment, how can he not be said to be Gao Pan.
For this marriage, many people have an attitude of envy and jealousy, and the relatives of the Wu Mansion are also happy that this family affair can go smoothly.
Lin Haoran led the people through the front hall and arrived at the Hanging Flower Gate, but was stopped by a group of women from the Wu clan.
"Drink all the wine on the table first!"
Wu Huashou attached great importance to this wedding, and deliberately brought a group of female dependents from Jiangxi villagers to Beijing, plus some female dependents living in the capital, this large group of female dependents blocked the door, and a bold woman made a request.
On the wine table in front of the door, there were sixteen large bowls of wine.
Lin Haoran didn't mean to put on a show, picked up one of the bowls, and took a sip of wine. Since he had to greet his relatives and entertain guests when he returned, he just meant it.
Zhang Hu, Zhao Long and others in the back have always liked to drink, but it was you and I had a bowl, and a group of rough men drank it all when they picked up the wine bowl, and the wine table immediately became clean.
"It's hard work!"
Lin Fu distributed the prepared red envelopes, and these ladies originally wanted to make it difficult, but they seemed a little hesitant.
Wang Han and the others were very clever, and they had already quietly dodged to the gate and slowly pushed the gate open. Everyone saw the opportunity and escorted Lin Haoran inside, breaking through the most difficult hanging flower gate.
I thought everything was fine, but when I got to the courtyard inside, there was a faint sense of slaughter.
But in front of the hall, there was a desk, and the table was placed with paper, pen, ink and inkstone. Behind the table, there were several officials, and Guo Pu, the secretary of the ministry, was resolutely in the ranks.
Because Guo Pu wanted to preside over the external inspection work, he did not participate in the next palace examination marking work, and the main presiding over the marking of the papers this time was the "Qingzi Four Phases" was responsible.
Lin Haoran impeached Guo Pu and proposed that the saint remove Guo Pu, which was undoubtedly a grudge. met here at the moment, but it made Lin Haoran feel stunned for a while.
"Lin Wenkui, the old man has heard that you have the name of a bamboo gentleman, if you don't make a bamboo poem that satisfies the old man today, you don't want to pass from here!" The leader was not Guo Pu, but Li Wenjin, the imperial official of the right capital, who made a request disrespectfully.
Jiajing's fourteen-year jinshi can also be regarded as a talent, in addition to Guo Pu and Wu Shan, the two bigwigs, there are many people in important positions.
Although Li Wenjin is a third-class jinshi, only his father has been a Langwailang in the household department, and he has accumulated some connections in the officialdom, allowing him to take the route of a speech official, and now he is the governor of Datong, the right deputy capital of Yushi.
Li Wenjin's move seems difficult, but it can be regarded as a recognition of Lin Haoran. He obviously no longer treats Lin Haoran as a junior, and already regards him as a figure who can be an opponent with them, so he "helps" his relatives.
Other officials also chimed in, asking Lin Haoran to compose a bamboo poem here.
Lin Haoran's impeachment of Guo Pu last time caused a great sensation in the entire Ming court. The first is Lin Haoran's amazing fear, and the second is that Lin Haoran is safe and sound, which all proves that Lin Haoran is not an ordinary Zhengsi Shuntianfucheng.
Combined with the recent series of events in the Shuncheon Mansion, there is almost no possibility that Yin Huang Zhongda of Shuncheon Mansion will remain in office.
If Wu Shan fully promotes Lin Haoran, coupled with Lin Haoran's past achievements in Guangdong, he can take over the position left by Huang Zhongda, thus becoming the youngest Shuntian Mansion Yin in the Ming Dynasty.
Once he became the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, Lin Haoran suddenly rose in both status and power, and he could already sit on an equal footing with them. Even if it is a big man like Li Wenjin, he has to sell him some face.
"The lower official is ugly!"
Lin Haoran knows that it is better not to write poetry than not to write, and the farther away the name of a talented man, the better. It's just that these bigwigs made a request, and today is the day to welcome their relatives, and this poem really has to be written, so he said with a wry smile.
"Husband, let's go and take a look!" There is an official who has always liked poetry, but he wants to pull Guo Pu over to watch the Tao together.
Although Guo Pu likes poetry, he doesn't like everyone's poetry, and he can't wait to crush this kid. Originally, he resolutely didn't want to join in the fun, but he just watched that there was nothing to do, and thinking that this kid was already addicted to power, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come up with any good works, so he still chose to come forward and watch.
Lin Haoran came to the table, picked out a brush from the pen stand, dipped it in the researched ink research, and his eyes fell on the white rice paper. As he held his breath, there was silence around him.
Writing different poems for different groups of people is one of his experiences. It's just that on this occasion, what kind of poem is more appropriate to write is a big problem.
After a moment, as if he had thought about it, he put the pen on the rice paper and began to write.
Hey?
Guo Pu and the others looked over, and their faces immediately showed a solemn look, and they put away their contempt.
