Chapter 1076 Li Cheng
Most of the people who came to watch the ceremony were shocked by the big boss who came near the time of the ceremony. Even jaw-dropping aphasia on the spot. Just like the father and son of the Qin family, the astonishment on their faces has been forgotten for a long time.
If it was expected that people from Xuanqingwei's system, including Pang Ban, would come to congratulate him, then the arrival of General Zuo Yuliang of the Zhu Kingdom was really unexpected.
Zuo Yuliang was transferred back from the frontier army by the emperor after the war between the kingdom and the barbarians, and he was given the title of General of the Zhu Kingdom after a heavy reward. This title used to belong to Yang Yansi, the number one man in the army, but now Yang Yansi died. It fell on Zuo Yuliang.
After that, Zuo Yuliang also had a "name" of the Minister of the Ministry of War, but in fact he was isolated from the military system as unemployed.
This cannot be said that the emperor was afraid of Zuo Yuliang, but that the new emperor's methods were cautious. After all, with the lessons learned by Yang Yansi, the new emperor's actions are justified. Even this was within Zuo Yuliang's expectation.
After that, Zuo Yuliang honestly didn't show up in front of people, even sometimes he didn't show up at the court meeting, and the emperor never asked. All the affairs of the Ministry of War fell on the head of Wen Mingju, Minister of the Ministry of War. And Zuo Yuliang became a gradually disappearing figure in the temple.
Although both Zuo Yuliang and the emperor were deliberately downplaying his influence, Zuo Yuliang's magnificent achievements in this war against the barbarians were indelible, and his status was far from what his current position or real power could symbolize. Even if he is hiding himself from the temple, in everyone's mind, he will be the number one in the army.
So when Zuo Yuliang appeared at Shen Hao's wedding scene, the unexpected momentum was huge. This shows that Shen Xixing, the "lone wolf" that everyone thinks, does not seem to have no connections except Xuan Qingwei.
Even the first member of the army came here in person, how deep is the relationship between the surname Shen and the army?
The truth is not complicated. Maybe Zuo Yuliang was just bored and wanted to go out for a walk; maybe Zuo Yuliang admired Shen Hao, a young man with great ideas; maybe it was because he liked Shen Hao's potential and wanted to make a good relationship for the future?
Anyway, Shen Hao's relationship with the army is not as deep as outsiders imagined. If it really counts, Zhang Qian and Gan Lin who are still guarding the south can be regarded as his good friends, and they have a very close relationship with each other.
Everyone thought that Zuo Yuliang's arrival was just the accident, but who thought it was just the beginning of the accident.
The emperor actually sent the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to reward? !
When can a mere fourth rank be directly cared for by the emperor to the extent of a big wedding? ! If you say it is from the third grade, it is almost the same. This is somewhat subverting the inherent rules in everyone's mind.
Thinking about Shen Hao presiding over the big case of Ye Lansheng a few days ago, and the suppression of the aristocratic family, is this really proof that Shen Hao is now being trained as Pang Ban's successor not only in Xuanqingwei, but also in front of the emperor? Highly respected?
Among the people who came, the members of the Yu family naturally kept elevating the status of their new son-in-law, and were happy in their hearts. Those who got close to Shen Hao, such as Tang Qingyuan, were also very excited. They could see the profound potential shown by Mr. Shen in these ostentations, and they would definitely gain glory after following him.
But if I really want to say that I was shocked, it was the last few people who arrived.
Fenghong Villa, Guishan Seminary, Wanjuan Shushan, Mingshanzong.
Many people present with these names have also heard of "Fenghong Villa". The latter few people know much less. After all, there were many officials present, and they must have heard of Yu Guochao's highest force "Fenghong Villa", but the latter few may not be clear.
But those who knew were terrified.
Guishan Seminary is a first-class sect, and it is said that it has a close relationship with Shen Hao, so it is reasonable to come here. But what is the meaning of Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshanzong?
There were only two super sects in Jingjiu Dynasty, and now they are both here? ! Or a big shot at the elder level? !
When did the person surnamed Shen hook up with a super sect? !
How do you say it? I understand naturally. Those who don't understand don't even have the concept of a super sect. What do you expect him to know?
Perhaps the emperor's reward was eye-catching, but the arrival of the two super sects elevated Shen Hao's status to another level. It is no longer limited to Xuan Qingwei's system.
Moreover, Fenghong Mountain Villa, a town that rarely shows up on weekdays, also sent elders over, which also showed that the person surnamed Shen was no longer just a villain in Xuanqingwei.
"The auspicious time has come! Newcomers enter the hall and salute!"
"Elders from both sides take their seats."
Shen Hao was dressed in a red robe and led the hijab-covered bride with a red cloth in his hand, and walked in under the eyes of everyone in the lobby, until he entered the main room.
In front of the tall "囍" character is an incense table, enshrining two tablets, which are Shen Hao's parents who Shen Wentian said are dead. Although Shen Hao was a little displeased by this, he still endured it. After all, it was just a fabricated character, and he acted with Shen Wentian, an old liar.
At this time, Shen Wentian was sitting on the left representing Shen's parents, while Yu Qiao's father, Yu Xin, and biological mother were sitting on the right.
There are rules. Generally, the husband's family is on the left and the mother's family is on the right when marrying and worshiping. And if it is a married couple, it is the opposite, the husband's family is on the right, and the mother's family is on the left.
After that, the worship began in accordance with the customs here. In fact, there are many meanings in etiquette. For example, worshiping parents and elders means not forgetting to respect the elderly after getting married and respecting the elders first. Another example is worshiping each other, which means that after you become a husband and wife, you must respect each other and treat each other with courtesy.
In the end, when the ceremony is completed, they will be married according to customs, and then sign the marriage certificate brought by the local yamen officials, which will be recognized by the laws of the old Jing Dynasty.
The husband and wife recognized by the law are the real husband and wife. Names are also determined under the law. For example, monogamy means that a man can only marry one regular wife, and the regular wife enjoys absolute freedom of property and the right to propose "reconciliation and divorce". And you can sue your husband to the yamen for reasons such as "the husband favors his concubine and stays away from his wife". Once the yamen finds out, they will be punished accordingly.
Therefore, the status of the main wife in the family is quite high. The more rich and powerful the more so. On the contrary, ordinary people's families don't pay much attention to it. Anyway, there are no wives and concubines in the life of a couple. Why not build a new house for the family if they have money for concubines?
The worship ceremony is completed, that is to report to the ancestors of the Shen family. This requires a couple of newcomers to go on together under the leadership of the elders. Outside, guests can drink tea, listen to music, and wait for the wedding banquet that is about to begin.
Then the bride will step into the bridal chamber and wait, and the groom will come out to greet the guests, and the wedding banquet will reach the peak of the atmosphere at this time.
