Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Chapter 222 The groomsmen are handsome

After a few days in the city, the wedding day soon arrived.

Outside the gate of the Yu family mansion, there was still a lot of traffic. In addition to the wealthy people who came to visit and congratulate, more than half of the scoundrels in the city probably came over and clamored for gifts and food.

The Yu family was powerful, but these scoundrels who had nothing were also fearless. They gathered here in groups. If a servant drove them away with a stick, they would simply lie on the ground and let them be beaten and scolded, but they just refused to leave. They were sure that the Yu family would not dare to make the front of the house a mess and blood flow like a river at such a happy time. In order to avoid these scoundrels from making trouble, the Yu family even built many food stalls on the street. Anyone who came to congratulate could get a full stomach here by shouting a few compliments and auspicious words. If there were more daring and arrogant people, they could even ask for some clothes and old robes.

Seeing this messy scene, Li Tai couldn't help but laugh. The affairs of the world are indeed linked and mutually restricted. If you think you are extremely powerful and have no taboos, there will always be someone who can deal with you.

Yu Kuan and his servants took a long time to invite Li Tai and the others into the house.

There were many guests in the front hall. Yu Jin's eldest son Yu Shi was entertaining them in the hall. When he learned that Li Tai had entered the house, Yu Shi also hurried out to greet him.

Yu Jin had many children. The eldest son Yu Shi was born in Luoyang as early as 30 years old. Now he is nearly 30 years old and in his prime. He serves as the commander of the imperial guards in Chang'an. But all the children from Yu Yi onwards were born after entering Guanzhong. The oldest Yu Yi is only eleven years old this year.

"Today, the household is busy and I really don't have time to stay with you for long. Please ask General Li and some young men to go to the other hall to rest first. The family will receive you."

Yu Shi stood outside for a while, and several guests were brought in. He clasped his fists and smiled apologetically to Li Tai, then turned around and hurriedly greeted them.

In the other hall across the courtyard, a lot of people had gathered and organized a team to welcome the bride later.

The Yu family arranged six bridesmaids this time. In addition to Li Tai and some Feng, there were Yu Kuan and the son of a family general. The remaining two were Yuan Qian, the son of Yuan Zan, the Minister of the Chancellery and Prince of Guangping, and Yang Yuan, the son of Yang Xuan of the Hongnong Yang family, who was the uncle of the later Duke of Chu Yang Su.

From the arrangement of the bridesmaids, it can also be seen that Yu Jin had a wide range of interpersonal relationships in Guanxi and was very popular.

The royal family of the Yuan Wei Dynasty, the noble families of Guanzhong, and the military gates of Beizhen. Li Tai can also be regarded as a representative of the Guandong gentry. Perhaps it may not be intentional, but the political forces of the entire Guanzhong are reflected in the Yu family's bridesmaids.

The two arrived relatively early, and the other two bridesmaids had not yet entered the house, so they sat down in the other hall. Not long after, a servant of the Yu family came into the hall to deliver the bridesmaids' congratulatory clothes, including red hakama pleats, black robes, hats, shoes, accessories, and other items.

When entering the house a few days ago to discuss etiquette, Li Tai and several other bridesmaids had the Yu family tailor-made and tried on, so there was no need to try it out now.

"Isn't my dress beautiful?"

Ruo Feng was a little unhappy. He dressed up carefully before entering the city today, and he didn't think the robes prepared by the Yu family would be very good-looking. But seeing Li Tai looking at him, he didn't dare to talk too much.

At this time, the other two bridesmaids also came over, and their ages were similar to Li Tai. Yang Yuan, the son of Yang Xuan, was in a good mood. After getting to know each other, they chatted for a while and were particularly interested in Li Tai's Dushui Office.

But Yuan Qian, the prince of Guangping, was a little arrogant. He smiled at Li Tai, but was a little cold and distant to Ruofeng.

Li Tai was also a person who protected his shortcomings. Seeing that this kid was not easy to get along with, except for a little courtesy when they met for the first time, he was too lazy to talk to him after several meetings. He thought his younger brother was more pleasing to the eye than this kid.

"This kid is a bit arrogant. Brother, just watch. I have cooperated with Li Jiu to deal with him!" Ruofeng could see that the prince of Guangping did not like him, and he was very angry. He pointed at Yuan Qian and snorted at Li Tai.

The Yu family provided robes and clothes to the two bridesmaids who arrived later. Yu Yi, who had been receiving etiquette in the back hall, also walked into the hall and greeted the bridesmaids to express his gratitude.

Yu Laoer was not very old, but he was a handsome boy with red lips and white teeth. Today, he dressed up carefully, and the little boy looked even more dazzling.

Yu Wentai himself was not very good-looking, and he had high requirements for appearance when choosing a son-in-law. Ruo Feng was not much younger than Yu Laoer, but he got married much later than his brother-in-law. In addition to the consideration of his father's power, it was probably because he did not have an advantage in appearance.

Since the groom was ready, the bridesmaids also stood up and went to the side room to change their robes.

Li Tai was quick and decisive. He was the first to change and walk out. He stretched his hands and feet to get used to the new robe. Yu Kuan also walked out from another room. When he saw Li Tai, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Grand Commander is usually handsome and energetic. He can still argue that he is not as good as he used to be. But now that the clothes are the same, the difference is obvious. It's embarrassing to walk together!"

Several bridesmaids changed their clothes and walked out one after another, but when they stood next to Li Tai, they looked more or less uncomfortable. Men are brave and strong in the world, but it doesn't mean that bravery can't be handsome. Who is willing to be the background board of others' handsomeness?

"The Yu family made this robe. I think it's to embarrass us and show off my brother! The same material, naturally, can only highlight the talent. If I had known that my brother would also participate, I wouldn't come to show off..."

Ruo Feng pulled the robe on her body, trying to look more upright, turned her head to look at Li Tai, and said in a low voice with a frustrated face.

It was already a long time in the afternoon, and everyone had a light meal at Yu's house. After the slaves opened a path in the street, they each mounted their horses and went out, surrounded by the groom and the second son.

However, there was a slight problem when the groomsmen were queuing up. The Yu family had originally arranged for the head of the family, Yu Kuan, and the most noble Prince Guangping to take the lead respectively. However, Yuan Qian refused to take the lead and was not happy to be with Li Tai. They were in the same row, so they had to let Li Tai and Yu Kuan lead their respective teams.

As soon as the welcoming team took to the street, the street suddenly became noisy, with all kinds of shouts and cheers. On both sides of the procession, there were slaves from the Yu family holding staffs on the road. Although the street was very busy, the procession of the procession went smoothly.

Only some of the shouting and shouting on the street was a bit harsh, and there was no shortage of idlers to join in the fun. They pointed at Li Tai in the team and shouted loudly: "This groomsman is so handsome, but be careful when he goes to the bride's house and is robbed to be the bride's groom." !”

Li Taizi did not dare to respond blindly to such nonsense. He just straightened his posture, looked away, and turned a deaf ear. For the first time, he felt that being too good-looking was a burden.

Today is a great celebration for the Daxingtai family. The entire Tai family has a day off, and a special passage has been opened for the wedding team to enter the back garden of the Daxingtai family.

The person in charge of guiding the girl's family was Yu Wenhu. He rode towards Li Tai and laughed, pointing at Li Tai and saying, "General Yu Wen is wrong because he should not have put you in this position. I will welcome you in the mansion." Wait, the onlookers only talk about Boshan and not the rest!"

Li Tai was a little embarrassed after hearing this, and repeatedly clasped his fists to apologize. Although he usually likes to be pushy, now is really not the right occasion.

There were also many congratulatory guests in Taiwanese government, and the welcoming procession lined the streets to welcome the bride.

Needless to say, the prestige of Daxingtai Yuwentai is great. General Yu Jin can now be said to be under one person in the tyrant, so the marriage between the two families is naturally a big deal.

Although the etiquette prepared by the Taifu was the same as that of Taiwei Li Bi's family at the beginning of the year, the actual number of congratulatory guests present was much more than at the beginning of the year. Even the generals like Dugu Xin came back to congratulate him in person, and Prince Yuan Qin also made an early greeting on behalf of the emperor. Coming to Huazhou Taifu gave the two married families a lot of face.

Ordinary congratulators stood on both sides of the road to welcome the bride, while senior officials from the imperial court and the Taiwanese government watched the ceremony. As the wedding procession came in, the first thing they saw when they lowered their heads was the groomsmen at the head of the queue. Li Tai, who is smart and eye-catching.

"In terms of style, although there are many in Kansai, there is no one like this young man! Even if there are many people in the old capital, Li Boshan is worthy of the reputation of being a leader in Luoxia! The lineage of Xuan Jinggong is revived here..."

Wang Yuanxin of Guangling stood on the watchtower and looked down. He pointed at Li Tai in the team and said with a smile to Gao Zhongmi who was standing next to him: "Situ Gong, although you and I share two different sects, we are brothers who live in the same household and share a deep friendship." . I heard that people have been interviewed frequently recently. Mr. Situ is a spy. Is there anyone who can tell me?"

Gao Zhongmi also smiled brightly after hearing this. He had been panicked for a while before. Later, as time went by, various families officially came to visit and announced their intentions, and they realized that it was a false alarm.

He regarded Li Tai as his nephew. Of course he was overjoyed to see his son-in-law being so admired by others. When he heard what King Guangling said, he just waved his hands and said with a smile: "My son-in-law has his own knowledge and doesn't need anyone else's guidance. After all, I am not him." Even if you are a close relative by blood, I don’t dare to go beyond the assignment. As long as he is happy, I will only give you money and help him!”

There were many dignitaries gathered around Gao Zhongmi. After hearing what he said, many people came closer to ask Li Tai's thoughts and interests.

It's not that Shiliu is not reserved enough and his adopted daughter hates getting married, it's just that this candidate is too good and impeccable. Whether it succeeds or fails is debatable, but if you don’t even try, it will always be a pity when you think about it after you miss it.

Looking at the people upstairs talking and asking questions, a marriage ceremony between powerful officials in the Taiwanese government suddenly seemed to have become a blind date consultation meeting for the Li family in Longxi.

Not only Gao Zhongmi, but also Cui Qian and Lu Rou, who were standing on the other side of the watchtower, had a lot of people gathered around them. The two people who didn't want to be too ostentatious and overshadowed the guests felt quite uneasy for a while, and they were secretly annoyed by this expression. My brother is really recruiting people.

Accompanied by the cheerful sound of drums, the wedding team finally arrived in front of the main hall of Bafu's back garden. Guests watching the ceremony gathered here one after another. Infected by the joyful atmosphere, all of them had smiles on their faces.

While Yu Kuan was in the hall reciting the wedding announcement, Li Tai took a few steps back from the group. During the whole process of welcoming the bride, although he was not in charge of Yu Lao Er, he was still disturbed by the comments from the onlookers. Sweating, Yu Laoer looked at him with a strange look, and he really didn't dare to step forward to make any limelight.
