The general will eat grass

Chapter 21: Feng Daxiong and Deng Xiaoxiong at the wedding banquet

In the 12th year of Jianping, on the sixth day of the eleventh lunar month, the northwest wind that howled all night miraculously stopped.The sun is in the sky, there are no clouds in the sky, and the temperature has risen slightly, as if God is celebrating this grand wedding.

Merchants along the line from Baihu East Street to Qingluan West Street spontaneously hung red silk on the door of the store, very enthusiastically entertaining the people who eat melons to sit in the store and wait for the welcome team from Dingguo Mansion to appear.Dingguo Duke's mansion has guarded the border for generations. The first Dingguo Duke died at the border due to old illness, and the second Dingguo Duke died in battle at a young age, without a wife or children.The people in Kyoto don't talk about it, but they all remember the good things about Dingguo Mansion in their hearts. Literati and poets gather in Hualou, restaurants, teahouses and other places, waiting to write a hymn for the occasion while watching the excitement.

When the auspicious time came, Feng Jingde led a hundred soldiers, dressed in fine clothes, holding triangular banners and four-cornered clan flags, and galloped out to meet them.

The flower lady in the flower building got the letter, picked up the pipa and sang: "The beauty of the peach is burning its flowers.... The beauty of the peach is Ye Zhenzhen. The son returns home, and it is suitable for his family."

In Yong'an Restaurant, there are a few small civil servants in regular clothes and the shop owner wanting to write and splash ink: "The red scorpion is surrounded by delicate and beautiful, and the jade couplet looks side by side. The blessings and wisdom are all in the world, and the mandarin ducks are so proud of the gods."

In a tea house on Baihu East Street, a scholar chanted: "Three lives are bound to the east of the sea, and two Xiaowu guess the same aspirations. The foundation of the career is laid now, and the prosperity and wealth will be as good as the day."

"Tsk tsk, Feng Jingde is not easy for this ostentation! The emperor gave him a husband and wife, and he accepted it like this." A middle-aged man with no facial features, while arranging for his master who was leaning by the window to watch the fun Cai whispered.Listen carefully, his voice is a little shrill, not like the mellowness of a normal man.

The man leaning against the window was dressed in cotton brocade, a sable fur hat, and a mink shawl of the same style.With slender and white fingers, he pinched the plum cake with two fingers, put it in his mouth and ate it, and then said: "So what if you don't marry? If you resist the decree, you will be beheaded!" Without knowing what, the man snorted and laughed, Shaking his head, he picked up another piece of pastry and put it in his mouth.

"What do you mean, Feng Jingde is pretending to be happy?"

"In the imperial city of Kyoto, at the feet of the emperor, who doesn't pretend?"

"Hey, isn't this the son of the world?" A man wearing a brown apron, mouse fur collar, and brown shoulder-to-shoulder came from downstairs.The man was followed by several big men, half-wrapped his head with a scarf, like a traveler on a long journey.

When the middle-aged man saw the person coming, he smiled and said, "Ah, isn't this Mr. Hong?" He looked at the big guys behind the man, "Where did you come from?"

Mr. Hong smiled at the middle-aged man, walked over to salute the man by the window, and replied: "I just came back from Saibei. It's a coincidence that I can meet the prince's mansion in Kyoto."

Prince Pingnan concealed his doubts, leaned over and said with a smile: "What good stuff did Mr. Hong bring back this time?"

"The mountain ginseng and deer antlers I brought back this time are all high-quality products, as well as the rare snow fox fur..." Mr. Hong casually glanced at the faces of the two of them, talking about the fur goods he collected in the north this time. type.

Ouyang Zhuoyu, the eldest son of Pingnan Prince, heard that his father wanted to appoint the second young lady of Changle Hou Mansion as his official wife, so he used this as an excuse to come to the capital to inquire about the girl, and happened to catch up with Feng Jingde to marry a male wife.He had known Mr. Hong Yu, the fur dealer in front of him, for many years, and when he heard that he was from the capital, he wanted to find out about him casually.If it is verified that he is fine, they will have another collaborator in Pingnan Palace.

"Hehe, that's really good. Seeing that the New Year is coming, is Mr. Hong going to celebrate the New Year in the capital?" Prince Pingnan asked casually.

Hong Yu nodded, "The old mother, wife and children at home have been waiting and looking forward to it. It's hard to catch up with this year. I want to stay in Beijing for the time being."

After some refreshments, they chatted wildly, until the sound of gongs and drums, Feng Jingde had brought his new wife back.

Prince Pingnan poked his head out of the window, and saw a group of cavalry approaching from a distance holding banners and banners.The leading general is dressed in red soft armor, with long pheasant feathers on his head, and a cloak embroidered with red tassels and gold.There is a sapphire buckle on the waist, a jewel-encrusted sword, and knee-length red-brown buckskin boots, with auspicious wishes embroidered with gold thread on the boots.Stepping off the green horse, with big red flowers on its head, all four hoofs are galloping, and walking to the gate of Duke Dingguo's mansion, Xi Yuyu stands up.

The Steward Wang of Duke Dingguo's Mansion ordered people to prepare the brazier and other things, and waited for the sedan chair to arrive.At this time, someone shouted on the opposite street: "General, I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years."

Feng Jingde comforted the steed, turned sideways and hugged the man, "Thank you!"

Steward Wang immediately called his servants to deliver malt candy and pine nut candies to the crowd, and from time to time, he even gave out copper coins to the little dolls who came with their parents to cheer them up.

Ouyang Zhuoyu looked fresh, the Duke's Zanying's house, the marriage of a wife is no different from that of a marketer's family, this Dingguo's mansion is really down-to-earth!

Just as he was feeling emotional, a pair of sharp eyes looked over diagonally, and the distance between the two places was more than [-] meters.To be honest, Ouyang Zhuoyu couldn't see Feng Jingde's face at all, but he could really feel his sharp gaze.Ouyang Zhuoyu shrank in his heart, and retreated into the window subconsciously, surprised by Feng Jingde's keen insight.

Among the top ten heroes of Beixuan, Feng Jingde ranked first, and Ouyang Zhuoyu ranked second.Feng Jingde was on the list because of his military exploits, while Ouyang Zhuoyu was on the list because of his talent.The world commented that Feng Jingde used soldiers like a god, and he had never lost a battle. Ouyang Zhuoyu was not convinced after hearing this. He led his army to fight against water bandits in the south many times, and he had never been defeated. He also knew how to learn. He is very popular among the scholars of the feudal domain, and he is both civil and military.

But today, with just one look at each other from a distance, Ouyang Zhuoyu knew that he was not as powerful as him.

Ouyang Zhuoyu was a little guilty, he secretly went to the capital without being summoned by the emperor, would he find out.But thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Feng Jingde didn't know himself. In the capital, no one knew who he was except for Hong Yu, a fur dealer, so he boldly stuck his head out of the window and continued to watch the excitement.

Feng Jingde narrowed his eyes and stared at the head protruding from the window on the second floor of the teahouse, and a killing intent flashed in his heart.If he was not mistaken, that person was Prince Pingnan's son Ouyang Zhuoyu, the adulterer who cuckolded him in the previous life.The horse beside him snorted restlessly, calling him back to reason, Feng Jingde withdrew his gaze, and waved to the people around him to show that he was fine.

Feng Jingde took a deep breath, suppressing the hatred in his heart.Ouyang Zhuoyu is a character. In his last life, he heard that he had bad luck. In the end, he was dragged down by a woman and instead became the King of Zhenbei.There is no need for me to take action against him for the time being, those personal enmities are just the accumulated anger of the previous life.

As the gongs and drums approached, Steward Wang asked someone to take away a hundred or so horses.The firecrackers are exploding, the red flowers are colorful, and the suona is sounding, which is joyful and beautiful.

"The bride has arrived!" The servant at the door smiled and announced to the mansion one by one in his loudest voice.After a while, brothers of the same generation as Feng Jingde flocked out, vying to see the bride.

Kick the sedan chair door, step over the saddle, step over the brazier, scatter the bean valley, and come to the main hall to worship the heaven and the earth.When a man gets married, he should drink a cup of wine in public, and have a banquet with his husband to thank the guests.

Zhao Yuansong has red lips and white teeth, big black grape eyes and bright eyes. He is dressed in a red auspicious suit with a gold belt around his waist, wide sleeves and narrow waist, making him look like a fairy boy.

Before the banquet, the bride will go back to the bridal chamber to rest temporarily. At this time, a group of younger brothers, sisters and nephews who are younger than the groom can come to make a fuss in the bridal chamber.Uncle Feng Jingde's younger cousins ​​from Jiashang's family came over and jokingly called Zhao Yuansong's second cousin sister-in-law.Zhao Yuansong pursed his lips for a laugh, accepted it generously, and asked Xiao Wu to give them happy money strung with red thread.

A man's wife is not a woman's wife. Under normal circumstances, it's fine to use the title of the husband. Of course, people who are close to him can also call him a woman's wife, as long as the man's wife doesn't mind. "He's really thick-skinned!" The bronze-skinned man who was standing at the door and watching their commotion said to the man in moccasin boots beside him.

The man in moccasin boots slapped the bronze-skinned man on the back of the head, "Second brother is happy, don't say anything bad."

"Okay, I was wrong." The bronze-skinned man was obedient.

Zhao Yuansong's ears are good, so he looked for his reputation and found that they were actually the two people who were stuck outside the pawn shop that day.It is estimated that the bronze-skinned man did not expect Zhao Yuansong to hear their conversation. When Zhao Yuansong turned his head, his eyes widened in fright, and he raised his hand to scratch his face in embarrassment.

The man in moccasin boots walked over, pushed his cousins ​​away, and introduced himself: "Second sister-in-law is polite, I am Feng Jingyan, the third child of the Feng family. The big guy over there is named Deng Mian, and his nickname is Heizi. It's my good brother."

The big black man hurried over, raised his chin and greeted arrogantly: "Hi, Second Sister-in-law."

On the big day, Zhao Yuansong was not angry, and also gave them some happy money. "Hello, here, take the candy and eat it."

"Hey, you think I'm them!" Deng Mian, the big black man, waved his hand, but he didn't dare to throw out the copper coins in his hand. He pointed at the lively little cousins, and stared.

Zhao Yuansong thought to himself: Where did the ramming goods come from!But she looked at him with surprise on her face, "The meeting gifts prepared for younger brothers and sisters today are all happy money. If you like other things, the second sister-in-law will give them to you another day."

The marriage customs and procedures of the aristocratic family are all arranged, and the gift of wedding money is also auspicious.The little cousins ​​who have read poetry and books all looked at Deng Mian with big eyes of condemnation, as if to say: This man is really rude, he didn't say a good word, and he asked for an expensive meeting ceremony.

"You..."

"What are you doing here? The wedding banquet has started. Let's find a place to eat." Feng Jingde strode in and kicked Deng Mian's ass, "Heizi, he is your second sister-in-law, show some respect."

Under the booing of the younger cousins, Deng Mian retreated to Feng Jingyan, clutching his buttocks, and muttered: "Second brother is really eccentric."

Deng Mian was younger than Feng Jingyan, and his status was about the same as Feng Yulin's. He was a half-adopted orphan of Dingguo Duke's mansion.Feng Jingyan looked at Zhao Yuansong, then at Deng Mian, and shook his head helplessly.Pushing the broken brother's back, said: "Okay, let's go to the front, dinner is ready, I heard that there is nothing wrong with it."

The crowd cheered and left, and Feng Jingde also took Zhao Yuansong to toast.

Duke Dingguo's mansion was full of guests and most of the military generals came to congratulate him. Even Prime Minister Jiang, who was angry in the main hall a few days ago, sent someone to congratulate him.Civil servants also came here, most of them were neutrals or junior officials who had just entered the official ranks. In order not to cause criticism from others, they would leave in a hurry after drinking a glass of water and wine.

Feng Yulin sat with the high-ranking military generals, his daughter's business was not done, he was a little stuck, so he drank a few more glasses, watched Feng Jingde bring Zhao Yuansong to toast, smiled and said: "Hey, the second young lady is so handsome , Unfortunately, he is a man, so he cannot give birth to cubs!"
