When Luo Xin had not yet arrived at the gate of Jinyang Mansion, he saw Sun Jixian, the prefect of Jinyang Mansion, Wu Tongzhi, the dean of Jinyang Academy, and a cadre of Jinyang officials at the city gate to greet him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Luo Xin naturally didn't dare to hold it up, hurriedly got off the car, stepped forward and bowed his hand and said:

"Master Sun, Dean Wu!"

"Brother Luo Xian, I've been looking forward to you for a long time!" Sun Jixian's eyes flashed, and he greeted him with a big smile, and he was extremely envious of Luo Xin in his heart. It's only been a long time, Luo Xin is already a five-grade official, and his Sun Jixian is just a fourth-grade official.

Luo Xin and Sun Jixian exchanged pleasantries, and then exchanged pleasantries with other officials and celebrities, and then they were surrounded and entered the Jinyang Mansion. Luo Xin stayed in Jinyang Mansion for three days, and he couldn't do without the banquet during these three days, and was invited back to Jinyang School by Wu Tongzhi. Luo Xin returned to Jinyang School again, and his identity was completely different. In the past, he was studying here as a student, but now he is back as a five-grade official, and now Luo Xin is a legend in Jinyang Academy, and every pair of eyes looking at Luo Xin are full of admiration.

Three days later.

Luo Xin left Jinyang Mansion, and when he left, there were five more carriages behind his carriage, which were all wedding gifts given to Luo Xin by officials of Jinyang Mansion, and promised to go to congratulate Luo Xin on the day of Luo Xin's wedding.

Chaofa Jinyang Mansion, arrived at Yanglin County at dusk.

It was still a long way from the gate of Yanglin County, and I saw the county magistrate of Yanglin County greet him with officials and celebrities in the county. Although the officials who greeted Luo Xin this time were all small and not as good as Luo Xin, Luo Xin still got out of the car and thanked him with a smile, which made Liu County Ling and those celebrities very excited.

Luo Xin has a house in Yanglin County, so Luo Xin asked Wan Daquan to take someone to bring the convoy back to Fuzhong, and he took Lu Daqing to the banquet that had been prepared by the Liuxian County Order.

Luo Xin stayed in Yanglin County for another two days before heading towards Shanglin Village, with two more carriages loaded with gifts behind him.

When Luo Xin returned to Shanglin Village, he was greeted by the whole village, and the Luo family set up a flowing water banquet in the manor for three days, and the whole village was like a festival.

This is indeed a thing to celebrate, Luo Xin is the biggest official to appear in Shanglin Village.

After three days of flowing water feasts, Luofu began to be more lively. Because guests have begun to come one after another, the day of Luo Xin's wedding is very close.

It stands to reason that this time is the time of winter farming, and it is also the most deserted time in the countryside, but in Shanglin Village, it seems to be the New Year. Throughout Shanglin Village, every household is decorated with lights.

Today, the whole village is dispatched, from Zhang Shu to serve Luofu, and Luo Xin is busy alone. Because today is the pride of their Shanglin Village, the first class of the Ming Dynasty, the wedding day of Hangzhou Tongzhi Luo Xin Luo Buqi, is about to win Miss Lu as his wife.

One can imagine how many guests will come, so even if Luo Xin's manor is big enough, it can't accommodate so many guests. Therefore, every household in the entire Shanglin Village has become a place to put a table, and the family members of each family have also become partners to entertain guests, and the entire Shanglin Village has mobilized to perform its own duties.

This is nothing, the Liu County Order of Yanglin County called the cooks of all the restaurants in the county to Shanglin Village, there are still three days before the wedding, Shanglin Village is already overcrowded, and it is beginning to put up flowing water seats.

Luo Xin's connections are mainly in the north, and the north is mainly in the army, so the general soldiers of the nine towns in the north and the subordinate officials are here. More than 500 of these generals alone came.

As for the civilian side, there are more people than in the military.

That one is easy to say, didn't he say that Luo Xin's influence in the army is great? Why are there more civil officials than military generals?

That was before! Now Luo Xin has become a Tongzhi of Hangzhou at the age of less than seventeen, the teacher of the city of Bo Si, and the teacher of Yuwang, everyone knows that Luo Xin is going to be developed! If you don't come to Luo Xin at this time, when will you wait?

So as long as the officials who can have a little relationship with Luo Xin came, in the end, what shocked Luo Xin was that the prefect of Hangzhou sent someone to send a congratulatory gift. In this way, the total number of civil and military officials exceeded 2,500.

These people are all powerful, and there are those who are famous but not powerful, that is, those celebrities. These celebrities admired Luo Xin even more, because Luo Xin's original three books completely conquered them. How many celebrities are there in the world? And celebrities are not like officials, they still need to get a little relationship to be able to congratulate, they don't need to, they just state their celebrity status, and come under the banner of admiration and communication. These people come from all over the world, and there are many more of them.

So, the powerful are coming, the famous are coming, and the rich are not coming?

Those rich squires naturally will not give up this relationship with Luo Xin, and as for the merchants, they will not let go of this opportunity, especially the eight major trading houses in the capital, every head of the family came here early.

Such a large group of officials, celebrities, and rich squires will naturally not be bare one, they will all bring their subordinates, and the miscellaneous places add up to a large number of people, and when Lu Yuan counted the number of people to Luo Xin, Luo Xin was a little numb in his confidence.

Okay!

More than 10,000 people have come to his wedding. Of course, servants account for the vast majority of the more than 10,000 people, but even if these people are the servants of those guests who have come to congratulate them, then they have to be fed, right?

You say that there are more than 10,000 people, but there are not more than 1,000 tables?

Yanglin County Liuxian Ling directly became Luo Xin's big butler at this wedding, and he did all the reception work. Lu Yuan was assigned to be in charge of the super chef team temporarily composed of all the restaurants in Yanglin County.

Shanglin Village is not a big village, there are only more than 300 households, and more than 1,000 tables are placed in more than 300 households.

But it's winter! If the banquet is placed in the open air, isn't the dish still in a hurry?

Besides......

The guests can't sit still!

Therefore, the Liuxian Decree arranged for the craftsmen in the county to build a lot of wooden houses around Shanglin Village in a very short period of time, and put charcoal pots in the wooden houses, which was also warm.

The makeshift cabin had just been built here, and the borrowed chairs had already been delivered. It is impossible for the Luo family to have so many tables and chairs, and the entire Shanglin Village will not have so many tables and chairs, which are all borrowed from Yanglin County, not only the tables and chairs of all the restaurants in Yanglin County have been borrowed, but also a lot have been borrowed from various households.

These tables and chairs lent to Luo Xin were later regarded as treasures by various households, and the tables and chairs of those restaurants were later sold out, making those restaurants make a fortune. Everyone who snapped up these tables and chairs was for nothing else, just to taint some of Luo Xin's joy and luxury.

The Hou Ye and the fourth-grade official who are less than seventeen years old!

Not to mention this later words, the most anxious thing in Liuxian County, Yanglin County, is the ingredients, just with a small Yanglin County, to hold such a big banquet all of a sudden, this ingredient is really not enough! Liu Xianling was so anxious that his mouth was foaming. Fortunately, Sun Jixian had already considered this method and issued an order as the prefect of Jinyang, and the ingredients of the entire Jinyang Mansion were close to Luofu first. As a result, on the road from Jinyang Mansion to Shanglin Village, there is an endless stream of vehicles transporting various ingredients.

Luo Xin looked at the mountains of ingredients, couldn't help but secretly wipe a handful of sweat, and said secretly in his heart:

"If it's summer...... I'm afraid that if you don't wait to eat these ingredients, they will stink. ”

The next day is the wedding day, everything is ready, and the troupe is invited. Everything is in an orderly and quiet hustle and bustle.

Early the next morning.

Shanglin Village was lively all of a sudden, and it was impossible for those guests who came from all over the place in advance to live in Shanglin Village, and there was no place for so many people to live, so they all lived in Yanglin County. These people all got up early, and there was still more than an hour before noon, when guests began to arrive one after another.

The kitchen began to get busy, the greeters began to be busy, and the troupe began to sing......

This situation lasted until noon, when the guests had arrived, and Liu Xianling, who had transformed into the head of Luo Xin's wedding, shouted:

"Open the table!"

As soon as this sound continued, the chef who had already prepared everything began to move, and these cooks were divided into three grades, not only the chefs were divided into three grades, but also the ingredients were divided into three grades. The first grade is naturally for those who are genuine guests, while the second is for the butlers of those guests, and the third is for the servants of those guests.

The three-grade chef quickly cooked one dish after another, and then the guy quickly brought the steaming dishes to the table.

Luo Xin's father Luo Ping can't be idle at this time, he has to toast from table to table, of course, every table toast is a simple toast, Luo Ping doesn't need to drink, otherwise more than 10,000 people will toast, Luo Ping will drink to death even if he is a wine fairy.

Originally, Luo Xin was supposed to come to this toast, but Luo Xin had already left Shanglin Village at this time and went to Lufu in Yanglin County to pick up the bride.

The bride had to be picked up before sunset, and the winter days were short, so Luo Xin set off with the team in the morning.

Luo Xin here is still on the road with the greeting team, and the Lu Mansion over there is also busy.

The Lu Mansion was originally a big family, and at this time, all the relatives and friends also came, and on the top of the show building, several mothers-in-law were helping Lu Rudai make up. Daile's mother also circled around Lu Rudai, making some suggestions from time to time.

After some was cleaned up, Lu Rudai sat quietly in the show building, at this time those relatives retreated, and only Lu Rudai and Mrs. Lu's mother and daughter were left on the show floor, Mrs. Lu grabbed Dai'er's hand and taught her some experience, Lu Rudai blushed and listened attentively.

"Crackling ......"

There was a burst of firecrackers, and I heard the mother-in-law downstairs shouting in unison:

"The sedan chair is coming to the door......"

Luo Xin smiled and rode on a tall horse and looked at the firecrackers in front of the Lu Mansion, and after the firecrackers, the people of the Lu Mansion retreated and closed the gate.

However, Luo Xin did not panic in the slightest, he knew that this was a custom, and this custom was still preserved in many places in later generations. This custom is called "sedan door", that is, the young woman asks for it, and the man tries to meet it.

In the vast majority of cases, the young women of the woman ask for money, so each groom will prepare a lot of red envelopes when he picks up the bride. Of course, there are also women from scholarly families, they don't want money, they want the groom to pair up, compose poems, etc.

And Luo Xin was treated a little more, not only for red envelopes, but also for pairs. However, these things were difficult for Luo Xin, but it took less than a quarter of an hour for the door of the Lu Mansion to reopen, Luo Xin entered the Lu Mansion, and the sedan chair that picked up the bride finally landed.

After that, the man's bride went in to urge the bride to get on the sedan chair, according to custom, the bride will not be the bride as soon as she urges, and she will immediately get on the sedan chair. Whether she wants to or not, the woman pretends to be unwilling to marry, and has to be urged three times, which is not a short time, so when the bride urges her to marry, Luo Xin went to toast her teacher, now her father-in-law. Luo Xin first went to kowtow to Lu Tingfang, changed his name to his father-in-law, and then toasted, and then stood up. Because of the problem of time, it was impossible for Luo Xin to toast the relatives and friends of his father-in-law's family, so he took the wine glass and toasted it together.

Lu Tingfang's face was full of smiles, and he was already very satisfied with having such a son-in-law as Luo Xin. And Luo Xin and Lu Rudai are childhood sweethearts, there is no problem with the relationship between the two, and Luo Xin has a bright future, what reason does he have to be unhappy?

Standing next to Lu Tingfang was Lu Tingjiang, who rushed back from the grassland, and after shouting the sentence "The bride is out" outside, Lu Tingjiang said in Luo Xin's ear by sending Luo Xin outside:

"All the best!"

Luo Xin naturally knew that Lu Tingjiang was saying that everything was going well on the grassland, so he lowered his voice and said:

"Second uncle has worked hard!"

At this time, Luo Xin had already arrived outside the gate, and Lu Rudai walked out wearing a red hijab, and then Mrs. Lu was fed a sedan chair, meaning not to forget the grace of nursing. At this time, Lu Rudai was already in tears.

After eating the sedan chair meal, Lu Tingfang kowtowed to her parents, and then walked outside the gate with the support of her sister-in-law and entered the sedan chair.

The time to go back is much slower than when you come, because the sedan chair is empty, and when you go back, the sedan chair is sitting in the bride, the sedan chair must be carried steadily, because all this is exquisite, once the bride enters the sedan chair, the buttocks can not move, meaning "peace and stability" one, so the sedan chair should also be stable, if this is because of the instability of the sedan chair, the bride's buttocks moved, and Luo Xin blamed, then who bears this responsibility?

Therefore, it was almost dusk before the sedan chair entered the gate of Luofu. Naturally, there was a lot of music and the sound of firecrackers.

When the firecrackers stopped, the sedan chair also happened to land. Then the host shouted:

"The groom stands in front of the sedan chair!"

Luo Xin got off the horse and did it according to the rules, and similarly, Lu Rudai, who was in the sedan chair, also did it according to the arrangement.
