Chapter 412: Special Gifts

It took a lot of time, and the wedding party finally crossed the entire Vermilion Bird Street, came to the Qinglongfang where Xue Shao lived, and descended on Xue's mansion.

Today, it is regarded as the ancestral home of the Xue family, and a traditional wedding will be held. In the people, the man's marriage has always been the focus of marriage, and there will be traditional items such as worshipping ancestors, worshipping heaven and earth, and respecting the high hall. The wedding between Princess Taiping and Xue Shao was arranged by the imperial court, which not only considered the honor of the emperor's marriage but also took into account the folk traditions, and specially arranged a traditional wedding in the Xue Mansion, which could be regarded as saving enough face for the Xue family.

Due to the early death of their parents, Xue Yi and his wife naturally became high-ranking officials. Most of the people who stayed in the Xue Mansion to watch the ceremony were also the relatives of the Xue clan and Xue Shao's friends. Compared with the luxury and grandeur in the palace, the wedding in Xue's mansion is more warm and romantic.

Princess Taiping of the Tang Empire, like a little daughter-in-law next door, followed the traditional wedding etiquette very patiently and meekly, and followed step by step without complaining. Including giving tea gifts to Xue Yi and his wife, they were all meticulous.

"What a virtuous and virtuous daughter-in-law!" The people who watched the ceremony were secretly amazed in their hearts, they never thought that Princess Taiping, who was so noble and extraordinary, would be so cautious and humble when she arrived at the Xue family.

After many ceremonies were completed, a banquet was set up in Xue's mansion to entertain relatives and friends.

From the palace sacrifice to the present, even Xue Shao felt a little tired, and Princess Taiping did not cry out bitterly. Before the banquet, the little couple was finally able to sit down and take a breath, and Xue Shao hurriedly invited Princess Taiping to the mandarin duck wedding room that had been prepared a long time ago.

As soon as the door was closed, Princess Taiping screamed "Wow", and she didn't care about crumpling her luxurious wedding dress and lay on the bed into a big word, "I'm tired, I'm tired!" ”

Xue Shao walked over with a smile and lay down beside her, "It's really hard for you." ”

"Say something stupid!" Princess Taiping turned her head and said with a smile, "Today is the wedding of the two of us, and I do this for myself and for the two of us." No matter how hard and tired I am, I am willing to do it, it is worth it! ”

Xue Shao moved over and faced her face to face, and said, "You rest here for a while, I'm going out to entertain guests." Shortly after luncheon, we will divert to the Princess's Mansion. There's an even bigger dinner waiting for us! From today onwards, there will be banquets for seven days in a row, and I am afraid it will be rare to be quiet. ”

"Thank you for your hard work!" Princess Taiping pursed her lips and kissed Xue Shao's face, "Don't drink too much wine." Don't forget, there are also candles in the cave room! ”

Xue Shao laughed, and Princess Taiping punched him lightly, "Don't laugh!" ”

After resting for a while, Xue Shao came to the banquet to entertain the guests. The banquet in Xue's mansion only entertained relatives and Xue Shao's friends, but despite this, there were many people. Although there are more grand banquets in Princess Taiping's mansion, in everyone's minds, in fact, the luncheon held in Xue's mansion today is the main banquet for the wedding. So the atmosphere is very festive and intense.

The male and female guests were divided into two sides, and on the female side, there were moon slaves to help Xiao entertain the guests, and the amount of alcohol of those women was really not worth mentioning to her, so the moon slave alone could suppress all the scenes. To Xue Shao's surprise, Pei Xingjian's wife Kudi made a special trip from Wenxi to attend Xue Shao's wedding. The demon also followed, and she drank wine for the first time in her life. As a result, as soon as the first drop of wine went down her throat, she tilted her head and fell down, and fell asleep without eating a mouthful of food. The ladies were amused and laughed, and the moon slave only carried the demon on her shoulders and threw her into the room, as she had done many times before.

In the main banquet hall where the male guests gathered, the guests took turns to toast the three brothers of the Xue family. Without any suspense, Xue Yi and Xue Xu were both drunk. Xue Shao has the best amount of alcohol, and there are several powerful servants who help to block the wine. Especially Wu Ming, no matter how much wine he has, it is like a mud cow entering the sea, and his skills are amazing. In fact, all the guests also knew that Xue Shao still had a series of banquets, and he did not drink as fiercely as a few days ago, so Xue Shao was only half drunk.

Although the atmosphere was festive and warm enough, there was one thing that made the hearts of the Xue clan a little shadowy - Xue Shao's wedding, and Xue Yuanchao, the prime minister who was the patriarch of the Xue clan, and his son did not come!

Everyone knows why. Because of a recent political dispute, Xue Yuanchao lost to Pei Yan, and is currently "facing the wall for introspection" at home and accepting the investigation of the Yushitai. It is difficult to predict what the outcome will be. If it weren't for the occasion, many people from the Xue clan would have gathered together today, and they would definitely have to sum up the matter. If Xue Yuanchao, as the leader and banner, really falls, it will definitely be a big disaster for the Xue clan in Fenyin.

In any case, the Xue clan must not be suppressed by Pei Yan, this is the consensus of the Xue clansmen!

Invisibly, the people of the Xue clan turned their attention to Xue Shao, who is prosperous today, and everyone was thinking about one thing - after Xue Yuanchao, will it be Xue Shao who will lead the Xue clan?

Of course, Xue Shao knew what these clansmen were thinking, and he was also very sober in his heart - Datang practiced a gate valve government, and there would be strong ties within the family that would connect each other. In addition to blood kinship and family education, the more important bond is the political factor.

In today's Tang Dynasty society, the Xue family of Fenyin is not considered a top nobleman, and surnames such as Cui Lu Li Zheng Wang (commonly known as the five surnames and seven wangs) in Shandong are first-class aristocratic surnames, and the prime ministers of the royal family want to marry them. However, most of these traditional old families were left with only social fame, and few of them became high-ranking officials in the imperial court. The Fenyin Xue clan is different, it is definitely one of the most powerful families at present. In addition to the Zhongshu Ling Prime Minister Lieding Chaotang like Xue Yuanchao, there is more than one four-grade master like Xue Kegou, the household servant, and there are even more assassins like Xue Yi.

Today, Xue Shao married Princess Taiping, who is the world's favorite. This is definitely a big deal for the people of the Xue clan. Therefore, although many members of the Xue clan had never had contact with Xue Shao before, and had not even met each other since they were born, they all came to the banquet.

Therefore, this wedding banquet in Xue's mansion is more like a family banquet of the Xue family in Fenyin, and more than half of them are surnamed Xue. Among them, there is a person whose identity is more special and embarrassing, he is Xue Zhongzhang - Pei Yan's nephew.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of his presence that the clansmen surnamed Xue did not discuss the issue of Pei Yan and Xue Yuanchao in public.

Half-drunk and half-awake, Xue Shao's mind was more sober than usual. He seemed to realize that these people who were dining together in Xue's Mansion today were like a potential "political group". And this group will have him Xue Shao as the core!

Halfway through the banquet, Xue Shao finally took a look at the vacant clothes to change, took a breath, and went to the mandarin duck room to take a look at Princess Taiping, who was lonely and bored in the empty room.

When passing through the courtyard of the corridor, Xue Shao saw half of the body of the moon slave exposed at the corner of the corridor on the left, as if he was talking to someone inside.

"Yuenu, what are you doing there?" Xue Shao asked.

Hearing this, the moon slave turned around, her face was happy, and she hurriedly pulled out the person inside, "Childe, look, who's coming?" ”

Xue Shao fixed his eyes and was taken aback on the spot, "Ai Yan? What are you doing here! ”

"What, aren't you welcome?" Ai Yan smiled and stepped forward.

Xue Shao looked at her in surprise, thinking that Fu Nian was about to be beheaded, how could you still appear here in a grand manner?

"I know what you want to ask. All I can answer you is that since I'm here, it means I'm safe! Ai Yan walked up to Xue Shao, put his hands behind his back, and smiled a little mysteriously.

There were too many unknowns and doubts, and Xue Shao didn't know where to start for a while, so he just nodded, "That's good!" ”

"Well, we're supposed to be friends, right? I'm here to say hello to you. Helplessly, the female dependents can't go to the main hall, and my identity is sensitive and special, so I can only quietly enter the house and quietly ask the moon slave to transfer the gift to you. Ai Yan smiled and said, "I met you so coincidentally, so I'll give it to you myself!" ”

"Thank you!" Xue Shao smiled and nodded.

"It's a very special gift!" Ai Yan smiled even more quirkyly, "Why don't you come into the room, I'll let you try it on the spot and teach you how to use it?" ”

"Try?" Xue Shao was curious.

"Why, don't you dare?" Ai Yan giggled, "Are you afraid that I, a Turkic spy, will murder you, a Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Nonsense." Xue Shao smiled, "Then please go upstairs!" ”

Upstairs is Xue Shao's study and permanent bedroom, where guests and servants will not come and are relatively secluded. The three of them went upstairs, and the moon slave opened the door and walked in.

"Take it out, what kind of special gift is it?" Xue Shao asked.

One of the hands that Ai Yan had been hiding all along, finally reached out at this time, revealing a small milky white bottle.

"What is this, spice?" Xue Shao asked curiously.

"If you smell it, won't you know?" Ai Yan stretched out his hand, gently pulled the cork and handed it to Xue Shao.

Xue Shao took it and smelled it, and a strange fragrance rushed straight to his nostrils as if he knew the road, and the fragrance was very special.

"Curious ......" Before the word 'strange' could be spoken, Xue Shao suddenly felt a stirring in his mind, as if it had instantly turned blank. Almost at the same time, a strong current of heat rushed up from his lower abdomen, and his face turned red at once, and he instantly began to heat up and his mouth was dry!

All of them happened in a second or two, and Xue Shao's whole person seemed to have been in the form of a fixed body, completely stunned!

"Childe, are you alright?" When Yue Nu saw Xue Shao's appearance, she was very scared and worried.

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine." Ai Yan smiled treacherously, "This is the secret aphrodisiac medicine that our Turkic nobles have passed on secretly. Now, Xue Gongzi must be eager to have a good time...... I want to, I want to! Moreover, he must be very majestic now...... Very, very! ”
