Volume 1 Chapter 384
"It's just a clown, how can you rest assured that the Feng family asked him to come, and asked him to go to General Zhou's side, there must be his intentions, the Feng family's attitude, let's just remember it." Zhao Jin said with a smile, and everyone nodded in a dark color.
"Come on, don't rub over there," he said, when the master of ceremonies ran over and shouted with a smile
Zhao Jin greeted him, walked over there with people, took two steps but said with a smile: "The Feng family is giving me a dismount, I want to know the Dao in awe, and the rules of the Dao, he is really arrogant." ”
"Kong Jiuying also thought so" Ji Xiang replied with a grin, and everyone was stunned, walking quickly to the side of the main courtyard.
As soon as the person turned the door, there was a servant standing there on the side, and the eyes of several people suddenly looked over, but they were not too guarded, they could be put here, they must have gone through a few inspections, and when the servant saw Zhao Jin and a few people, he hurriedly bowed down and knelt down, raised his head and said cautiously: "Master Yong, there is something to report." ”
"Big brother, you go over first, I'll talk later." Liu Yong hurriedly said that the security of this wedding was undertaken by the internal guards and personal guards, and the main teams of each company of the personal guards were already in place, but Liu Yong's spies and eyeliners were everywhere, so this could not be brought to the surface.
It didn't take long for Liu Yong to return to the scene of the wedding, at this time the wedding had begun, the night was coming, and the red lanterns had been hung around the wedding, illuminating the surroundings of the Zhao family's house.
Worship heaven and earth, worship the high hall, husband and wife worship, all kinds of procedures, joyfully walked again, Zhao Jin's partners shouted loudly and laughed, Zhao Jin also had a rare cramped and embarrassing, which made everyone feel more fresh, these walked, the bride was sent to the cave room, and the groom Zhao Jin was to toast and feast.
The customs are almost the same, the groom official wants a table of salutes, the elegant one uses the wine cup, Xuzhou is used to using a large bowl, but the groom official's bowl is generally mixed with water.
"Big brother, Qi San of the horse team is a little weird, it is said that he was strange after seeing the Feng family's steward, and the younger brother arranged for someone to keep an eye on it first." Liu Yong came over and whispered a word of retribution.
Zhao Jin nodded with a smile on his face, raised his wine glass and touched Cai Juren, Liu Yong also had a smile on his face, and greeted everyone on the table with the gesture of a groomsman.
The table had just been served, but Zhao Zhentang came over with one arm holding a wine jug, and said with a smile: "Everyone admires the face, let's have a drink." ”
The old lady came over to toast, of course everyone had to give face, got up and drank another glass, after drinking, Zhao Zhentang walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Zhao Jin, and whispered in his ear: "Why are you so restless when you become a relative, dozens of people have been arrested at the West Gate, a very strange group of thieves, clamoring to see you." ”
Zhao Jin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his father's intention to come over to toast was also done for confidentiality.
"Our brothers are indeed busy," Zhao Jin turned to the side and said, everyone laughed.
The first table was made by the elders, Zhao Zhentang, Xu Benhua, Wang Youshan, Chen Wu, Dong Jike were also there, Shi Manqiang's father and Ji Xiang's father were also invited over, the two of them were craftsmen and traders, and they thought that there would be such treatment, so there was no need to say that they were at a loss, Xu Benhua showed an unhappy look on his face, but Zhao Zhentang and Wang Youshan did not treat these two as outsiders, and they were very comfortable laughing, and they even planned for the marriage of Shi Manqiang and Ji Xiang.
The second table is Cai Juren and several first-class supervisors, the third table is the commander and commander of Xuzhou Wei, the commander of the same knowledge and the rank of thousands of households, the fourth table is the six-room secretary and the characters in the yamen, and the fifth table is other distinguished guests in the city, including Zhou Zebiao, the son of Zhou Shenjiang, he doesn't see anything like the general, it is completely the appearance of the rich family, in fact, the young general's business is very good, more than 10% of the famous wine in Hanjing is in his hands, and the income is also germinating.
"Zhao Gongzi, my father has something important to do, and it is inconvenient to come to say goodbye, and I hope that Zhao Gongzi will come for the next generation." This Zhou Zebiao said politely.
Zhou Shenjiang's jurisdiction covers the vast places where Nanzhili, Henan and Shandong provinces communicate, which can be called a high authority, Zhao Jin is just a local tyrant, the status of the two sides is far apart, it is estimated that the Feng family and the Feng family steward think so, but their own family affairs are known, Zhou Shen will be in Xuzhou, of course, he knows the weight of Zhao Jin, and he knows how his exploits in the past few years have been established, and he also knows who his own fortune depends on, of course, he does not dare to slack off.
However, as a general, it is very taboo for him to make friends with local heroes, and it is not good for him to come in person on Zhao Jin's big day, so he finds a reason to excuse himself and then let his son come over.
"Why be so polite." Zhao Jin said with a smile, and both sides drank with a smile.
"Gongzi Zhou, what does the house have to do with the Feng family in Yangzhou? Is it a relative? Zhao Jin asked seemingly unintentionally.
Zhou Zebiao was stunned for a moment, and then explained with a smile: "What else does Zhao Gongzi not understand, it is nothing more than that his father gave them a convenience, and on this relationship, salt goods." ”
Selling smuggled salt is a big crime of killing one's head and stealing one's family and exterminating the family, but it is so easy to say that everyone knows it.
In addition to patrolling and setting up cards for the investigation of smuggled salt, the officials and soldiers of all the governments and offices have the responsibility to arrest them together, and General Zhou's garrison is the most powerful, and the Feng family will definitely have something to do with it, but listening to what the Feng family steward said, the relationship between the two families is more than that.
didn't wait for Zhao Jin to ask, this week Zebiao himself said first, and said mysteriously: "The Feng family has deep roots and wide relationships for so many years, and the sour son raised back then now has people working in the Ministry of War, not to mention that they are also related to the deputy general of Wolf Mountain and the bigwigs in Nanjing. ”
After talking about this, Zhou Zebiao reacted, and hurriedly asked earnestly: "Zhao Gongzi asked the Feng family about something, if there is anything you can help with, please open your mouth." ”
Zhao Jin didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Today, the Feng family also sent gifts to Zhao to congratulate him, I haven't dealt with it before, and I think it's strange this time." ”
"What's strange, our Xuzhou is a place that extends in all directions, his Feng family wants to go salt, I don't know how much Lu Dao is going to go out of Xuzhou by land and water, what is Zhao Gongzi's status now, if he doesn't come to stammer, then he is blind" Zhou Zebiao said it nicely.
Zhao Jin smiled, chatted a few more words, and then walked to the next table, his status is here, except for the elders' table, which must be replaced by white wine, he Zhao Jin came over with a wine bowl to save face, who dares to care if he drinks wine or water.
And Zhao Jin is now in a high position on the ground in Xuzhou, before he went to toast, everyone didn't even dare to move the chopsticks, he used to toast, everyone got up in fear to deal with it, and when Zhao Jin finished this circle, everyone was slightly more open.
When Zhao Jin returned to his seat, all parts of the garden became lively, everyone is a party in Xuzhou, it is rare to meet, not to mention the good friends in the past, even if there are some contradictions, now everyone is eating under the master, then they have to give each other a face, drink a reconciliation wine and the like, so that a jar of Hanjing famous wine is moved up, and a jar is empty.
"The way of civil and martial arts is relaxed, you can't be so tight every day, today is a big day, such a good day should also let yourself be idle" When he went to the elders' table to toast, Wang Youshan said with a smile.
After saying this, Wang Youshan unceremoniously pointed to the people behind Zhao Jin, including his son Wang Zhaojing, and said with a smile: "You should all be like this, don't be too fierce and too anxious." ”
The banquet was full of laughter, all of which were the kindness of the elders, Zhao Jin led his partners to bow and salute, and then took the wine in the cup first.
Zhao Jin and Wang Zhaojing both knew in their hearts about this sentence that had nothing to do with marriage, and it was still related to the last conversation, which was nothing more than a measure of everything, and don't cross the line of the king's laws and regulations.
"In another ten days, I will leave for Jingshi, this time it is estimated that I will live there for a long time, I was going to take the dog with me, and watch the reading nearby, but he himself is unwilling to go, and I am not embarrassed for him, please take care of it at that time." Waiting for Zhao Jin and them to leave, Wang Youshan got up and raised his glass and said.
Wang Youshan, who has the highest status, said this, and everyone stood up and raised their glasses in a panic, agreeing in unison
"You still need to be taken care of by others, and your father really cares for you," Chen Han looked at the other side and joked.
"The younger brother is in the Zhao Zi camp, and he really doesn't need to be taken care of by others." Today's Wang Zhaojing can deal with such ridicule very calmly.
Wang Youshan's itinerary Zhao Jin had already learned from Wang Zhaojing's side that Jingcha was after the opening of the government in the first month, and many things would have results by then.
In a sense, Zhao Ziying has reached such a scale, Wang Zhaojing has not yet withdrawn, Wang Youshan can only let his position in the officialdom be higher, so that he can shelter, but three years later, Wang Zhaojing entered Beijing to catch the exam, if he can get the Jinshi, naturally he will not be able to return to Xuzhou, and at that time what happens here has nothing to do with him.
At this time, no one would spoil the fun, and even after Wang Youshan said this, he began to drink and chat with the people around him.
Zhao Zhentang quickly got drunk, Zhao Jin's grandfather He Butcher and uncle He Youfu also drank too much, and many of the people who attended the wedding in the house were drunk and carried out
