Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 562 Small gathering
After a long drought, there is a sweet rain, when I meet an old friend in a foreign country, when the bridal chamber is full of candles, when the golden list is inscribed.

These are the four joys of life.

Wedding, known as the "faint ceremony" in ancient times, is an important part of life.

As early as the Warring States Period, the Confucian classics "Book of Rites" and "Yili. Shihun Li" had stipulated the "six rites" for concluding marriage: accepting (the ceremony of accepting and choosing), asking the name (asking the name of the woman and divination). ), Naji (Bu Erdeji, reply to the woman's house), Nazheng (payment coin), request period (select an auspicious date for marriage and report to the woman's house), and personally welcome (the son-in-law greets the bride at the daughter's house).

Tang Dynasty weddings inherited the ancient "six rituals", but the rich and the poor were different, and the pomp and pomp were different, but there were changes.

For a wealthy family like the Fang family, the procedures are extremely cumbersome, but compared with those thousand-year-old families with bells and whistles, it is still a lot lighter.

After a series of procedures, the wedding date was set.

On the eighth day of April, good luck.

It is advisable to marry, make alliances, receive wealth, and open the market.

There are still four months to prepare for the wedding.

The princess's marriage has its own rules, and it should not be taken lightly.The key point is the marriage room.It is definitely not feasible to move to Zhuangzi. Fortunately, the Fangfu is large enough. Fang Xuanling opened a foundation in the back garden when autumn began. Construction has already started, but the project was suspended after the winter.

But don't worry, as long as the spring is warm and freezing, the Ministry of Industry will send an engineering team to urgently build the princess's wedding room, and the speed is very fast.

The house was so busy, Fang Jun was idle instead.

*****
In the private room of Zuixianlou, the first-class bamboo charcoal is burning, warm as spring.

Fang Jun was called out to drink by Li Siwen, Zhangsun Huan, and Cheng Chubi.

Fang Jun was wearing a navy blue straight attire, neat and clean, with jet-black hair in a bun, sword-like eyebrows and tiger-like eyes, and his temples were cut like a knife.Fang Jun was originally good-looking, with a high nose bridge and thick lips. It can be said that he is a proper sunny and warm man, but his skin is a little darker, which is not in line with the current aesthetics. people like it.

Sitting crookedly on the brocade mat, holding a white porcelain wine glass in his hand, he is sipping a small wine comfortably.

The eldest grandson Huan's face was like a crown of jade, his two sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and he asked with some worry: "You said that what happened to my family's Dalang, why did you suddenly disappear without a trace, as if it disappeared?"

For a long time, Changsun Huan was quite dissatisfied with his father, Changsun Wuji, doting on his eldest brother, Changsun Chong. As soon as he turned over, the serf sang.

But the eldest grandson disappeared suddenly, which made him think about it.

Li Siwen, who was sitting next to him, sneered, squinted at him, and teased: "You are a bitch! When your eldest brother was at home, you wished that he would fall to his death while walking, but now your dream has come true, but instead you Is it not funny to be suspicious?"

Changsun Huan was speechless, poured himself a drink and sighed.

Although several people present were deeply dissatisfied with Changsun Chong, Fang Jun even had a direct conflict with him, and Changsun Huan himself was quite disdainful of his eldest brother's style, but in the final analysis, he was also his pro-eldest brother. Feelings are still there.

Fang Jun was also a little distracted.

I don't know why, since the new year, I've always been flustered, I can't do anything, and I'm inexplicably irritable.

After thinking about it, it is probably caused by the determination of the wedding date.

Fang Jun never got married in his last life. Although there are so many confidantes, cohabitation and marriage are obviously not the same thing.

Cohabitation is a kind of love, but one day you get tired of seeing each other, and you say cherish each other, wave your hands, and don't take away a cloud...

But marriage is different. That piece of paper represents responsibility.

You have to hold up for her.

There was some silence in the room.

Cheng Chubi blinked and suddenly asked, "Why don't you ask a few girls to accompany you to the wine?"

This is Zuixianlou, the largest brothel in Pingkangfang. He couldn't figure out why he had to pour himself a drink when he got here.

Changsun Huan rolled his eyes.

Li Siwen snorted: "What a dick! The girls here are all the eyeliners of the King of Jiangxia. If you call a girl on the front foot, the news of the back foot can get into your father's ears, believe it or not?"

Cheng Chubi scratched his head: "I believe it. But since that's the case, you can go to Songhe Tower for a drink. Why do you have to come here?"

Changsun Huan said as a matter of course: "Because this is Zuixianlou!"

Cheng Chubi was a little stunned...

Seeing that he could not bully the honest man, Fang Jun said, "I won't let you call girls. The brothers sit and chat and drink some wine. What's the point of having some strange girls beside me?"

Li Siwen was helpless: "You are a full man but don't know if a hungry man is hungry. There are beautiful concubines and pretty maids at home. You are going to marry the princess soon. You are almost ****, but how many brothers?"

Changsun Huan said disgustingly, "That's you, but no one!"

"No, you are sick!"

"You are sick! I don't know how powerful it is!"

"Mighty egg! You take it out and I'll take a look?"

"Just look at it! I'm afraid you are inferior!"

……

The two quarrelled, and Cheng Chubi was still confused: "You can also go to Songhe Tower for drinking, why do you have to come here?"

Fang Jun surrendered completely: "Because my brother, I can swipe my face here, I don't have to pay, these two bastards want to take advantage of me, so I just don't ask the girl to accompany the wine, and I don't follow their hearts, understand Are you done?"

Cheng Chubi suddenly realized: "So it is! But Erlang, you are stupid, what does it matter to be called a girl? You can completely hang up the money for the drinks, and let them both pay for the girl's reward!"

Fang Jun was stunned...

Oh, why didn't this bend turn around?

I was actually despised by Cheng Chubi, a rambling product...

After laughing for a while, the eldest Sun Huan asked, "Erlang, I heard that Your Majesty wants to appoint you as the school secretary of Chongxian Hall?"

Fang Jun nodded, listless.

This is an official position with soy sauce. It is neither good nor bad, it is simply doing nothing.In his stomach, there are only those famous poems and poems that have been passed down through the ages. For the Four Books and Five Classics, these Confucian classics are completely indebted. They can neither teach students nor proofread books.

The eldest grandson said thoughtfully: "It seems that His Majesty is planning to use you. Anyway, you are also a dignified consort, so how can you let you idle around?"

Among the younger generation, when it comes to political sensitivity, in addition to Fang Jun, who has experience in officialdom in two lifetimes, Zhang Sun Huan is the leader.Some things are born, don't look at the eldest grandson Huan's appearance as a playboy, but the brain is easy to use.

Li Siwen then interjected: "Our East Datang business has been established for some time, but it is only a walk-away bulk cargo in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and there is no profit!"

Years ago, the business names were combined, and there was no dividend this year.

Fang Jun explained: "Don't be impatient, we are just developing business routes now. Our focus is on maritime trade. We will develop domestic business routes first. Once we get through with overseas markets, it will be a matter of course, and it will be easy to count the money!"

First, lay the various trade routes in the country, and when he takes office as the chief marching officer of Canghai Road, he will directly open up the trade routes between Goguryeo and Japan. Whether it is import or export, it will be a matter of course, and the transaction volume will be unprecedented.

The eldest Sun Huan glanced at Fang Jun, thought for a while, and asked quietly, "Could it be that after your marriage, Your Majesty will let you rule the Jiangnan coast for a generation?"

Fang Jun was stunned.

This guy is really awesome!
With just two sentences from himself, he guessed that this playboy has a bright future!
However, no matter how clever the eldest Sun Huan was, he could not imagine the official position he was about to assume.

That was the one who gave up countless benefits and obtained it from His Majesty Li Er.

The 17-year-old marching chief, who would dare to believe it? !
Sui and Tang Dynasties, unique!

Cheng Chubi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Yesterday, my father told me that King Wei was about to go to the Yuezhou fief, and he took a job for me as a commander. Wouldn't it be possible to work with Erlang?"

Fang Jun said happily, "That's great!"

My brothers watch and help each other, and it is naturally refreshing to do things!
Otherwise, if you kill Jiangnan alone, you will indeed be weaker.

Since the Jinshi South crossing, the family from the Central Plains moved to various places in the south of the Yangtze River, bringing a large number of people and advanced production experience. The Jiangnan area has been developed extremely prosperously. Because of its suitable temperature and abundant rainfall, it has long surpassed Guanzhong.

And those families from Nandu, who have been operating in the south of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years, have intertwined forces, and it is really difficult to go alone.

Li Siwen was also a little excited: "When I go back, I also beg my father to give me a position in Jiangnan. When the time comes, our brothers will join hands and create a piece of the sky!"

What he didn't expect was that it was a prophecy.

The splendid land in the south of the Yangtze River is about to set off a stormy sea...
