Section 0689 Negotiation

After hearing the rating given to Li Chun, Liu Mu thought about it.

"What if he built a bridge over the Yangtze River?" Yanagi asked rhetorically.

Cui Junsu stood up: "That's a high-class nobleman, this kind of ghost worker, my Tang Dynasty will not be stingy with the title." ”

Liu Mu shook his head, his smile was a little bitter: "Li Chun is old, maybe his apprentice will be able to in the future, he probably won't have a chance to see it." To build a bridge on the Yangtze River, I am afraid that it will take ten years to repair it alone, and Datang will have this ability in a few decades. ”

Cui Junsu said very seriously: "Even if fifty years later, if someone of his apprentices can complete it, Datang will posthumously seal him." ”

"Yangtze River!" Liu Mu said with emotion.

Looking at Liu Mu's expression, everyone here believes that one day they can really build a bridge over the Yangtze River.

I just don't know if I can live to see this day.

Liu Zifang opened his mouth at this time and asked, "So, how about the banquet?" ”

"Wait a little longer." Cui Hong stood up after speaking: "The old man asked for a kiss for the Wang family, and our two families can come to kiss each other." There are children in the family who want to marry more relatives with the Liu family and be happy together. I want to come to the Wang family, and I plan to kiss and kiss, and have one more family. ”

"This is the honor of the Liu family."

Cui Hong smiled: "So, for a banquet, don't you get drunk tonight?" ”

"Have a feast and set up wine."

When he went out, Liu Mu asked Liu Zifang: "Uncle Zifang, why don't you mention who it is or who it is in the end?" ”

"This is just a marriage, a small marriage of the partial concubine, purely for the sake of auspiciousness. As for who it is, it doesn't matter, the Cui family is just not bad in our family, look at picking one person, let's officially propose marriage after the New Year, and then the Cui family can choose one, it's as simple as that. ”

Liu Muxin said, isn't this a little hurtful.

I don't know who this one is marrying? I don't know who I married?

But Liu Mu didn't mention a word, it seems that this is a kind of marriage between the upper-class nobles of the Tang Dynasty, purely to bring the relationship between the two families closer, as for whether it is suitable or not, the important thing is that the parents on both sides are pleasing to the eye.

Banquet in the main hall.

The Liu family's qualified companions are carefully selected people with status.

In the side courtyard, the young people of the Liu family who do not have a marriage contract stand in several rows, representing the willow house of the west family and the Liu Fan of the east family. The two of them looked serious, almost in the same movement, and walked back and forth in front of these young people with their hands behind their backs.

"Reciting poems and Qin Feng chapters."

Everyone immediately began to recite, and after the eyes of the two of them swept over, they pushed several people aside: "You don't have to learn or don't have skills, retreat aside." ”

Then point to someone at random and let the translator be made.

At this time, a servant placed an arrow target, so that the people who passed the test could compare their archery skills.

Fortunately, it is not to line up a name, but to screen out some that are too bad, and the rest of the people change into new clothes and enter the main hall in turn to greet the elders and then sit in the last seat.

Yanagi is the main seat and the secondary. After Liu Zifang entered, he sat in Cui Junsu's main escort seat, and Liu Fan sat in Cui Hong's escort seat as a junior. The rest of the Choi family were in the back row in turn.

Whoever these young people in the front yard will choose, it must be among these people.

There will also be a banquet session of poetry, books, etiquette and music, depending on the personal performance.

And in the backyard, it blew up.

Liu Zheng wants to marry the daughter of the Cui family, and this matter is basically decided. In fact, although they are clear candidates, the parties, like everyone else, have no choice at all.

Liu Zheng definitely didn't dare to say a word.

He was washing and changing, and in a quarter of an hour at most he would enter the main hall and accompany Liu Chongchong to the table. During the banquet, there may be some examinations from the elders of the Cui clan, but basically this matter will not change.

In the hall, those young nephews of the Liu family who are not sisters-in-law, they are also looking forward to their fate.

Although they were selected to marry the concubine of the Taiyuan Wang family, this was already a one-step fate for them.

The backyard is different.

There is a person who wants to marry into the Taiyuan Wang family, which is a marriage between relatives. This candidate is enough for several top concubines of the Liu clan to tear their faces and marry into the five surnames and seven wangs, even if they are the concubines of the famous Hedong Liu family, they all feel that this is a marriage.

And the other, the concubine who is about to marry into the Cui family of Qinghe, is equally competitive.

Several ladies of the Liu family were turning corners to seek Dugu Lanruo's opinion, but Dugu Lanruo didn't say a word, and she didn't even eat a few bites of the food in front of her.

Suddenly, Liu Ruyun stood up with a support on the table: "I choose Sister Yike, so it's decided." ”

The countless whispering voices in the backyard hall disappeared in an instant.

At that moment, there were two Liu noblewomen's faces pulled down, Liu Ruyun talked about seniority and identity, there was no room for her to speak here.

How did she appoint the person.

But without waiting for the two of them to speak, Liu Ruyun quickly ran to Dugu Lanruo's side: "Sister-in-law." ”

"That's it, it's up to you." Dugu Lanruo got up and walked out after speaking.

There was no need to tell at all, Yueming immediately came to the junior women sitting in the corner to find Liu Ye, and motioned for her to follow Dugu Lanruo out immediately.

A quarter of an hour later, the vestibule.

The steward of the Liu family entered the main hall, and after giving a salute, he said: "Elder Cui, Her Royal Highness Princess Changping is outside, let the old servant tell you the old." In Xingzhou and Qinghe, you are always well entertained. I heard that you are old enough to arrive in Chang'an, Her Royal Highness the Princess has prepared a bottle of good wine for you. ”

"It's an honor, it's an honor."

Everyone got up, and when Cui Hong greeted him in front of the main hall, Dugu Lanruo entered.

According to the Tang Dynasty etiquette, after the two sides gave gifts, Liu Ye held the bottle of wine and sent it to Cui Hong.

The wine was poured into a pure white glass, and the wine was golden and translucent.

Liu Ye also spoke at this time: "The golden basin contains the fragrance of wine and bamboo leaves, and five cups of ten cups are incomprehensible." After a hundred cups, he began to be crazy, and he was crazy and angry. ”

After reciting the poem, Liu can also retreat.

Dugu Lan also left after bowing.

After re-entering the table, Cui Junsu asked Liu Zifang: "Who is this woman?" ”

"The eldest daughter of my third brother, to be in the boudoir."

"Very good." Cui Junsu understands that this is Princess Changping who chose someone for the Liu family, and found an excuse for them to meet, if they are satisfied, the matter will be decided, and there are many ways to refuse if they are not satisfied.

After Cui Hong listened to Liu Zifang's introduction to the person who delivered the wine, he drank the wine and praised it several times: "Good wine, good wine." It's a pity that I don't know what kind of wine it is? ”

Cui Hong's attitude is very important, if he drinks and says thank you, then Cui Junsu has to consider whether to refuse this matter. If you drink wine and praise wine, then it means that Cui Hong is satisfied.

Yanagi said at this time: "This thing is interesting. I remember when we were in Xingzhou, I heard that Fenjiu was good. I sent someone to the ancient liquor shop to buy real high-quality Fenjiu. As a result, a few guys who went to buy wine secretly drank half a jar on the way, and came back for fear of punishment, what should I do? ”<
