Chapter 116 Luoyang
The weather is beautiful, the wind is sunny, the winter in Kaifeng has not been so clear for a long time, this is really a good day, Sun Yue and the group are almost riding out of the city singing and singing, if it is not There was still a little snow on the ground, and he almost thought it was going out for an outing.

Their traveling team is really huge. Cao Bin himself is a high-ranking official of the Privy Council, and he has a lot of ostentation. In addition, this time, the person who will take the hand will marry Lu Mengzheng, and Lao Cao and Mrs. Zhang will also follow. It's funny to say that they want to meet their in-laws, the seven or eight etiquettes of engagement are all with Lu Mengzheng's mother, but now they are about to become in-laws but they have changed.

And because this is Cao Wan's marriage, so Zhao Guangmei has to follow her, she has to watch her beloved woman get married, she hides in the corner and applauds silently, she is determined to do the last step of the spare tire .

But as soon as he was on the road, Sun Yue couldn't help but feel a little guilty. This guy actually brought more than 300 guards with him, all of them were on duty in the inner palace. Could it be that Zhao Da left him behind?If you go back on your word, wouldn't you be able to snatch the marriage at any time?
Kaifeng is actually not that far from Luoyang. It only took two hours for later generations to drive against the sky. They rode horses and sat in cars and walked slowly. It only took half a day to arrive. The situation in the countryside could not be seen, but at least on this official road It was quite lively and prosperous, with no trace of the troubled times at all.

After entering the city, Cao Wan and Lu Meng were helping Mother Lu out of the car. Mother Lu looked at the dilapidated city towers in Luoyang and sighed with a complicated expression. She didn't know what was in her heart, but Sun Yue felt a little disappointed , because this Luoyang City looks really dilapidated, without the momentum of Xijing at all, and even looks like a small town.

Before entering the city, he saw a group of people galloping from the city. The leader got off his horse and saluted loudly: "But the three kings and Cao Chengzhi face to face? Zhao Qi, the prefect of Henan, is late to welcome you. Sin, sin, sin.”

Today's Luoyang is not yet the companion capital of the Song Dynasty, so the chief executive of Luoyang is not a high-ranking official like the Yin of Henan Province, at most he can only be regarded as a prefect with a higher authority, and naturally he is not very big in front of Zhao Guangmei and Cao Bin Officials, even Sun Chunming, the sub-envoy of Kaifeng, it's hard to say who is older and who is younger.

"Oh? You knew we were coming?"

The visitor said with a wry smile, "I ran out as soon as I found out, but it was still a step too late."

Zhao Guangmei laughed and said: "It's enough if you have this kind of heart, it's okay, we have nothing to do with you this time, and we don't need you to entertain us, so go and do what you should do."

"Yes, yes, those of you need to arrange for the post office?"

Cao Bin and Zhao Guangmei looked at Sun Chunming, and Sun Chunming thought for a while and said, "I don't need it, I still have a property in Luoyang, so I can just live in it. It just so happens that my niece is getting married and I have to clean up. I can't let the Lu family Go to the inn to welcome the bride, brother Cao and the three kings, please go ahead."

Zhao Guangmei took it for granted: "I won't go, I'm from my natal family, and I still want to make things difficult for the groom."

Cao Bin smiled and said: "If you don't go, it's not good for me to go alone. That's it, Zhao Zhifu, you will settle down our guards in a while, we don't need you to entertain, go busy with your work." .”

"That's not possible. It's rare for the three kings and Cao Chengzhi to come to Luoyang. They have to come to give guidance. Even if they can't live in the post house, they still have to let the subordinates show their friendship as landlords."

Zhao Guangmei laughed twice and said: "You, the magistrate, speak nicely, so let's go tonight, you choose the place, hold a banquet, and make a big show for sister."

"Understood, understood, I understand, I will arrange it now."

Lao Cao couldn't help but said: "Three Great Kings, this...isn't necessary."

Zhao Guangmei smiled and said: "Why don't you need it? I recognize Brother Lu's character. Although I have never seen Brother Lu's father, I think it is not a good thing. Anyway, he is my sister's father-in-law in the future. Although this marriage They will go back to Kaifeng after it's done, but it's inevitable that they will still have contact in the future, what if we don't shock him and make my sister angry in the future?"

In front of the son of man who scolded his father, Zhao Guangmei was no one else. Lao Cao hurriedly glanced at the new son-in-law and found that Lu Mengzheng looked normal, so he was relieved. In fact, Lu Mengzheng himself felt that his father was nothing. Just pretend you didn't hear it.

Sun Chunming bought this house in Luoyang as a temporary residence, and he originally wanted to take advantage of the downturn in Luoyang's housing market, so although the place is not small, it has not been decorated much. The magistrate is indeed an official. They just arrived at the place, and before they ordered someone to buy it, all the daily necessities were delivered, and they also sent more than [-] maids who took things. How does Cao Bin feel? Can't tell, but Zhao Guangmei has already praised him repeatedly.

Cao Bin said: "Brother Sun, it's getting late, let's go directly to the cement factory."

"it is good."

Li Hang and Sun Yue naturally followed, Cao Bin said with a smile: "Xiao Yue, don't go, it is enough to have your father with me, your elder sister is going to marry, or marry your sworn brother, you stay behind Let's help your elder sister make arrangements at home."

Sun Yue said happily, "Thank you Chengzhi."

Then, as if he was afraid that Cao Bin would regret it, he hid in the house.Cao Bin laughed twice and didn't take it seriously, so Sun Chunming led him and the prefect with him to do business.

Back in the house, Mrs. Zhang was talking to Mother Lu. I don’t know what they were talking about. Mother Lu’s tears came down while she was talking, and Mrs. Zhang’s eyes were a little red, but she saw that Mother Lu’s knuckles were pinched by herself. To put it bluntly, it was obvious that she was extremely nervous, but Lu Mengzheng kept comforting her.

Old Cao said: "Dear family, let's go with you, and we will also meet the child's father-in-law."

Lu's mother nodded, and with Lu Mengzheng's support, she stood up trembling, Sun Yue said: "Then take me, and I will go too."

Wang Dan and Cao Jun said: "Go together, we will go too."

Zhao Guangmei thought for a while and said, "You all go? Then I will go too."

Cao Wan said: "I will go too."

"Where are you going? There is no new wife who will come to the door before the date. You stay at home."

Everyone got in the car, and Lao Cao specially prepared a little gift, and they went to their house in a mighty manner under the guidance of Lu Mengzheng.

This Lu family can actually be regarded as a scholarly family, a family of officials. Lu Mengzheng's grandfather, Lu Mengqi, once served as a high-ranking official such as the Yushi Zhongcheng and the household servant of the Later Tang Dynasty, but it is a pity that his descendants are not filial. Well, the two brothers are masters who can't achieve military success. Although they have been some small officials as big as sesame seeds and mung beans in the next week, they have only relied on his grandfather's budding shade and have become ordinary rich men.

But as the so-called broken boat still has three catties of nails, the two small stone lions in front of Lu's mansion seem to be showing off the noble status of the master to the people. This house is naturally quite inferior to the officials and eunuchs in Kaifeng, but it can be regarded as in Luoyang The top one, Lao Cao was going to knock on the door, but was stopped by Lu's mother, Lu Meng was supporting each other with Lu's mother, both hands were tightly held, but they walked up quite firmly, knocked lightly door.

 Thanks for the reward:
