He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

The wedding day came in a blink of an eye. Different from the modern custom of picking up brides in the morning and having a banquet at noon, in ancient times weddings were held at night. At noon, there is a banquet at the mother's house, which is commonly known as "wedding wine".

Lu Yan came to the Liu family at noon, and Lu Sheng went to the Chu family to help Chu Tiankuo.

The bride first opens her face with cotton thread and then applies makeup. Everyone around her was praising Liu Qingyan for being very beautiful today.

The auspicious time has come, and the Chu family has come to welcome him. The gatekeeper of the Liu family was Liu Qingyan's brother. He had long wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate and came out with a stick. Chu Tiankuo received three sticks but it was not easy to get in. Liu Qingyan's brother was a supervisor of the Imperial College, and he brought several classmates to embarrass Chu Tiankuo. Chu Tiankuo was not to be outdone, and the people he brought with him were all new scholars. The people on both sides were competing back and forth at the door.

The few people were finally let in. They recited the makeup poem three times outside the door. Mrs. Liu took out a bowl of rice and fed it to Liu Qingyan. "Meaning on the sedan chair" means not forgetting the nurturing kindness of the parents. The average bride eats It took just two mouthfuls to finish the meal. Liu Qingyan was really hungry. She cleared the rice in two or three mouthfuls. The rice bowl was already empty before Mrs. Liu had time to stop her.

Liu Qingyan went to the main hall to say goodbye to her parents. Liu Hongtu told some words that he should be filial to his parents-in-law and respect his husband in the future, and Liu Qingyan complied with them one by one. This scene should have been a very touching scene that brought both parents and daughters to tears, but when they thought about the distance between the Chu family and the Liu family, their mouths twitched and they couldn't cry.

Liu Hongtu first came to settle in the capital. After Chu Tiankuo took office in Hanlin, he immediately bought a house not far from Liu's house, just to keep the two families closer. How close is it? It's a quarter of an hour's walk. If it weren't for the closer one, he would even want to buy it next door.

After bidding farewell to her parents, Liu Qingyan covered her head with a hijab and was carried on the sedan chair by her brother. Although the Chu and Liu families were very close, the team was still preparing to circle the inner city. After all, getting married is considered a minor achievement, and wearing a red robe and riding around the city is a treatment that only the top three can get. Chu Tiankuo didn't take the turn at first, but today it was finally his turn.

Chu Tiankuo's weight loss plan has long been completed. Now he has a long body and a slender figure. He wears a red wedding dress and sits happily on a tall horse. He can't help but return gifts to those who come to congratulate him.

Lu Yan also walked out of the Liu Mansion and happened to meet Lu Sheng who had come with Chu Tiankuo to pick up the bride. Also present are Xue Zhuoyuan and Song Bowen who came here specially. The four of them happened to go to Chu Mansion first.

When the four of them arrived at the Chu Mansion, the newcomers were still circling the city, and a banquet had already been set up in the mansion. Before the food was served, there were various snacks and snacks on every table for people to chew on.

A few people found a table and sat down, pulled the snack box in front of them, and when they opened it, they were stunned. Inside is the familiar Bu Si Shu snack set, rice crackers, potato chips, pork jerky, sugar snowballs...

Lu Yan and Lu Sheng looked at each other, stood up and walked to the kitchen.

The Chu family was busy, and no one paid attention to what the one or two guests were doing. Lu Yan followed a maid who was collecting lunch boxes and quickly found the kitchen.

The back kitchen was busy, and Lu Yan saw at a glance that the chef in the middle was Xia Hefeng. Lu Yan called him. Xia Hefeng saw Lu Yan and said in surprise: "Master! You are here!"

Lu Yan couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?"

"The Chu family went to Bu Si Shu a month ago to arrange for us to have a wedding banquet today. You were not in the capital at that time. I went to ask Prince Yi and Princess Yi. The princess said that as long as I can do it, I can take it, so I took it and did it well. You also want to make our shop famous!" Xia Hefeng said: "You have been busy since you returned to the capital, and I never found a chance to tell you."

Lu Yan has indeed been busy with various things since she returned to the capital. She has been to Bu Si Shu a few times but she was always in a hurry. It was only today that Chu Tiankuo got married that she found out that the wedding banquet arranged by the Chu family was for Bu Si Shu to take place. It seemed that Chu Tiankuo really recognized her.

Lu Yan gave Xia Hefeng a few words of advice and then returned to the main courtyard with Lu Sheng. After sitting for a while, the team to pick up the bride came back.

With Xiniang's support, Liu Qingyan stepped down from the sedan chair and stepped over the brazier at the door. Chu Tiankuo took Liu Qingyan's hand, and the two of them walked into the main hall and worshiped. First, worship the emperor, heaven, and queen, then worship the parents and elders, and finally the husband and wife bow to each other. This ritual is complete.

The two of them were sent to the bridal chamber, and soon Chu Tiankuo came out to have a drink with Lu Sheng and the others.

After the ceremony, the banquet officially started, and the prepared dishes were placed on the table one by one. All the dishes were familiar to Lu Yan, and Lu Yan couldn't help but smile.

Picking up a slice of boiled chicken, it tastes spicy and delicious, and the spicy and satisfying taste explodes in your mouth. The chicken slices were extremely smooth and tender, without the tough texture of chicken at all. They were coated in starch when eaten. Lu Yan nodded, very satisfied.

The squirrel mandarin fish was fried until golden and crispy, and the sauce was sweet and sour. Lu Yan nodded again and expressed her appreciation for Xia Hefeng's quality.

Not only Lu Yan, but the foursome also enjoyed their meal very happily. Song Bowen couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that your wedding banquet would have to be ordered by Shopkeeper Lu!"

Chu Tiankuo said with a smile: "Of course. For such an important event as my marriage, I have to choose the one that suits me best."

It was also well received by the guests.

"This banquet is good, and the food is of a very good standard."

"Indeed! This is the most delicious meal I have ever had."

Some people called Mr. Chu and asked who organized this banquet. Mr. Chu said with a smile: "It was organized by a carefree chef. This unsatisfactory son of mine has no other hobbies. He just likes to eat."

Bu Si Shu's reputation has really spread.

Chu Tiankuo made a gesture to the three of them, and they all stood up. Chu Tiankuo held his wine glass and circled around the tables. When he encountered the three people who insisted on teasing him, he would jump on them to help him get out of trouble. In the end, the three of them were all pulled to different tables to accompany them for drinks, and Chu Tiankuo escaped smoothly.

Chu Tiankuo nodded to Lu Yan: "I'm going back to my room first, Qingyan is still waiting for me."

Lu Yan reminded him: "Before you go back, go to the kitchen to get her some food. She has been hungry all afternoon."

Chu Tiankuo nodded quickly and trotted away.

The moon was at its peak, the banquet was over, and everyone had dispersed. Both Xue Zhuoyuan and Song Bowen were helped away by their servants. Lu Sheng, who was dizzy from drinking, leaned on Lu Yan and went out.
