Chapter 485: The Spring of Yanagi Nijo (1)

In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, on March 18, Chang'an Liufu was full of joy and jubilation from morning to night.

The second child of the Liu family married a daughter-in-law.

Early in the morning, Liu Erjo changed his clothes, dressed in a neat and luxurious groom's costume, rode a brown-red high-headed horse, took a group of manpower sedan chairmen, and music etiquette, and went out directly.

By Liu Ertiao's side, there is Yang Bin, the housekeeper in Yang Bofang's mansion, who guides Liu Ertiao on the way to marry, as well as the etiquette and behavior that he should have when he arrives at Shangshu Mansion.

Like Liu Erjo, a country boy with no experience, suddenly came into contact with this kind of etiquette that he had never been exposed to before, and if there was no one around him who understood and watched, teaching, he might make some kind of joke.

When the second young son of their family married the princess of Nanping, Wang Jue bit the word "ceremony" and became the first minister in the history of the Tang Dynasty to dare to let the princess come over to the court to worship her in-laws, and the way for the princess to worship her in-laws also began with him.

With such a person as an in-law, if there is a little bit of disagreement between his actions, Liu Erjo wants to marry his daughter-in-law home smoothly, I am afraid it will be difficult.

Therefore, in order to save time and effort, not to delay the effort, but also to meet the old man's wishes, Yang Bo conveniently sent Yang Bin out.

Yang Bin is an old man, their old man was the head of the royal honor guard of the former dynasty, classified as the Ministry of Rites, what he usually does is this royal red and white ceremonial event, Yang Bin has been with their old man since he was a child, and he understands the Tao of the Tao in this best, with him, I believe that it is Wang Jue, the secretary of the Ministry of Science, and he can't find a reason.

After all, the previous dynasty is not too far away from now, and it has only been a few decades before and after, and this way of etiquette is passed down by the ancestors, everything is the same, there are not too many shortcomings, and there will be no big difference because of the changes of the dynasty.

There are nearly 100 people in the team to welcome relatives, two teams of drums, two teams of honor guards, and a bright red sedan chair supported by eight people.

Liufu and Shangshu Mansion are not very far, only two long streets are separated in the middle, under normal circumstances, it is walking, without a pillar of incense time, you can reach it, but today, unlike in the past, under Yang Bin's arrangement, Liu Ertiao was stunned to lead the music behind him, bypassed most of Chang'an, and after wandering around the street for nearly an hour, he began to copy the shortcut and ran to the bottom of the Shangshu Wang's house in the Ministry of Rites.

In the main house of Liufu, there are Yang Bofang and Liu Wuchen who are responsible for Zhang Luo and receive guests.

To say that in this Liu Mansion, there are not many relatives in this family, and they are all distant relatives, adding up to a total of eleven or twelve, and friends, plus Liu Yiyi's friendship, it is also Sanyuan and Chang'an's Gongsun Mansion, Du Zhigui, as well as the Zhao family, and Lu Guogong, so when the invitation was issued, the total number of posts sent was not more than fifty.

But today, in addition to the more than 40 people who held the invitation, there were many guests who were surprised by Yang Bofang and Liu Wuchen, and there were a few of them, and even they didn't dare to think about it.

Prince Li Chengqian, Crown Princess Wu Mei, King Wu Li Ke, Xiao Dezi, the chief attendant of the Lizheng Palace, and the eldest son of Qi Guogong, Changsun Chong, the eldest son of Shangshu's right servant Fang Xuanling, the second son Fang Yiai, Su Dasi Nongqing's youngest granddaughter Su Chenxi, and some officials and scholars who have not even heard of Yang Bofang, etc., etc., from the morning after Liu Wuchen ordered someone to light a storm bamboo in front of the mansion, there was an endless stream of guests in front of the gate.

When the sun is three strokes, there are endless people in a large house in Liufu, whether it is the front yard or the back yard, whether it is the hall or the wing room.

Yang Bofang and Liu Wuchen were even more busy in these crowds, socializing one after another, without stopping for a moment.

Fortunately, when preparing for this marriage, Liu Wuchen spent a lot of money to find the help of 'Yiheju' according to the meaning of the second young master of their family. Therefore, since the morning, although the visitors in the house have been far overloaded, and the people in the house have been busy enough, there have not been too many mistakes, and everything has been smooth until the time of the trip.

Liu Wuchen kept wandering around the mansion to take care of them, entertaining guests he knew or didn't know, and at the same time, his two eyes kept searching around in the crowd, searching for the trace of their eldest young master.

It is almost noon now, and the second young master should have taken the bride and began to return from Su Mansion, according to the original agreement, the musicians and singers of 'Yiheju' should also arrive.

"Steward Liu, Steward Liu!" Li Biao tried his best to bypass the crowd, trotted all the way from the front yard to the back yard, came to Liu Wuchen, arched his hands and whispered to the chief housekeeper in their house: "The Shaodong who you have been waiting for, with their family's descendants, has arrived, and I have taken them to the side room just now, and they are waiting for you there." ”

"Oh?" Liu Wuchen's face was overjoyed, he raised his hand and patted Li Biao's shoulder, instructing him to go back to the front yard to guard the courtyard door, and then went to the Yang Bofang branch again, and went directly to the side room of the wing room that Li Biao just said.

When he approached the door of the wing, Liu Wuchen listened to the voice of their eldest young master inside, and felt a lot relieved in his heart.

"Hey, isn't this Ren Gongzi and Mr. Yifan?" Seeing Ren You and Liu Yifan coming in from outside the mansion from a distance and being brought into this side room, Su Chenxi's heart moved, so he also came in, walked in front of Ren You and Liu Yiyi, and asked them in surprise.

"Miss Su!" Liu Yiyi chuckled and bowed, even if he had seen it, he didn't say anything more after that, and threw all the questions on Ren You, who was on his side.

"Hello Sister Su, little brother is polite here!" Today's Su Chenxi, although she is covered with a thin veil and her face is a little blurred, she still can't stop her charming style, yes, as soon as she came out, Ren You, this kid, trotted up. Although he didn't dare to do any frivolous words and actions to Su Chenxi, he could stand with her and talk softly, and he could live a little addiction to some extent.

"Sister Su was not in Chang'an before, some things are still not clear, since the birthday banquet of the old lady of Fanluofu, our 'Yiheju' door-to-door business is more and more, in this Chang'an City, which family has a red and white celebration, most of them will invite us over, this Liufu pro-gift, is just one of them, we can come, it is not surprising." Seeing Su Chenxi's doubtful face, Ren You explained to her very diligently, and told her about the Luofu birthday banquet a month ago, and there was a sense of self-satisfaction in his words.

I thought that at the beginning, I wanted to take the opportunity to go to Luofu to bring up the fame of 'Yiheju', but it came from his head, so he couldn't help but be narcissistic.

"However, why is Sister Su here? Could it be that the Su Mansion and the Liu family are also world friends? After explaining his affairs clearly, Ren You also asked Su Chenxi with some doubts: "Is Old Man Su here too?" ”

"Grandpa, his old man is not in Chang'an now," Su Chenxi shook his head slightly, glanced at Liu Yifan, and saw that his face had not changed much, so he whispered to Ren You: "But the Su family and the Liu family really have some friendship, I used to learn calligraphy from Mr. Liu for a month, and I also had some contact with Erjo. ”

Not wanting to be entangled with Ren You in these matters, Su Chenxi turned his head to look at Liu Yifan on the side, and asked Liu Yiyi softly, "I don't know if today, Mr. Yifan has a new work coming out?" ”

"The family has added a new ding, there are some settlings in life, and I came out to earn some small money to support my family, which made Miss Su smile!" Liu Yiyi did not deny it, nodded slightly at Su Chenxi, and said lightly.

Outsiders may think it is a bit exaggerated, but those who know a little about Liu Yifan's family background know that what Liu Yiyi is saying now is the truth, and Liu Yiyi does not have much money on hand now.

When he came from Fengjie, most of the silver money provided by Di Fu had been used, and Liu Yifan's errand in the palace, the monthly silver was only enough to maintain daily expenses, and now Mrs. Liu gave birth smoothly, and it was when she needed silver money to nourish her body, Liu Yifan would write some tunes in exchange for silver money at this time, which was not too strange.

"Ren shopkeeper, Mr. Yifan, let the two of you wait for a long time!" At this time, Liu Wuchen raised his feet and stepped forward, walked lightly from outside the door, bent over and bowed his hand to greet Liu Yiyi and Ren You, interrupting the words of several people who were still waiting to continue.
