Chapter 311 The ceremony is completed

Li Linfu felt dizzy for a while and was helped by someone. In this situation, he did not rest, but scanned the crowd, looking for Anqing Zong.

An Qingzong hadn't noticed the movement on his side, and was walking towards Li Heng, humbly toasting him a glass of wine.

At this moment, Li Tengkong came over to support Li Linfu.

"Grandpa, are you going back home?"

"Ahem...are you Princess Hezheng?" Li Linfu asked.

"Yes." Li Tengkong understood her grandfather's unprovoked question and advised, "Let's go back."

Li Linfu shook off her support and said, "Why are you so anxious? Are you afraid that your father will ruin Xue Bai's marriage? Cough cough cough."

This burst of violent coughing attracted the attention of more people. After hearing such remarks, many people murmured again, secretly thinking that the Right Prime Minister actually lost face because of Xue Bai's marriage.

Li Linfu knew what these people were talking about, so he did not explain. Instead, he whispered to Li Tengkong, saying: "As a father, I want to talk to Xue Bai again."

"Now?"

Li Tengkong was surprised, and turned around to look, only to see Xue Bai and Yan Yan performing the same prison ceremony, that is, eating a piece of meat together to signify the beginning of living together.

She then responded: "Let's talk about it next time? The princess will not marry immediately..."

"Let's talk today." Li Linfu looked very stubborn and said, "Now that I'm here, I won't leave until I have a clear talk with Xue Bai."

Li Xiu also felt embarrassed and tried to persuade Li Linfu to go back home first, but she didn't know why he went crazy today. He insisted on seeing Xue Bai now, but he couldn't persuade him to do anything.

Finally, Li Linfu even glared at Li Xiu angrily and shouted: "I must see Xue Bai!"

…

Xue Bai heard the movement among the guests and glanced over there. In this moment, Yan Yan took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and stretched out her chopsticks to pick up another piece of meat.

"Can't eat any more."

"All right."

At this time, they have completed the salutations to each other, the washing ceremony, the fanning ceremony, the Tonglao ceremony, and the next step is the combining ceremony, which means peeling open a gourd, pouring wine, each husband and wife drinks half, exchange and drink again

The rest.

"Don't get drunk." Yan Yan shot back at Xue Bai.

"It's within my drinking capacity."

Normally, newlyweds can't keep chatting like they do at a wedding, but they can't help but whisper secretly to each other like this. The wedding guests can do nothing to them and just pretend they don't hear them.

Xue Bai picked up the half gourd and drank it. It was rice wine, quite sweet, but the portion was quite large.

Finally, he stopped after drinking half of the drink and exchanged it with Yan Yan. The half he was about to take from her hand was stunned for a moment, turned to look at her, and asked with his eyes: "How many are left?"

Yan Yan smiled, both naughty and a little embarrassed.

"I can't drink anymore."

Xue Bai had no choice but to drink the remaining wine. He felt a little confused. When he looked again, Yan Yan's whole little face turned red.

He suspected that she was drunk, so he saw that her head was swaying from side to side, but she was not shaking at all when looking at the things around her.

"You can't drink any worse than me, right?" Xue Bai waved his hand in front of Yan Yan.

"whispering sound."

"Groom, please stop making trouble and tie the melon with the bride."

Yan Yan was obviously a little confused. She was holding the red thread and waving her hands around. Xue Bai then took her hand and tied the gourds together with the red thread to show that the couple would never be separated.

Then comes the hair-tying ceremony. Xue Bai needs to first take off the wedding tassel on Yan Yan's head, and then both parties cut a lock of each other's hair, pull it into a "joint bun", put it in the brocade bag, and tie the strands of silk to show

Always united.

During the process, Xue Bai's peripheral vision had already caught a glimpse of the commotion among the guests, especially Li Xiu, who even squeezed through the crowd and stood in the front, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

He ignored it.

Although Xue Bai is determined to make progress, he is not always thinking about fighting for power. At the moment, he only thinks about getting married.

After all the red tape was over, Xue Bai and Yan Yan bowed to each other again. Yan Yan was probably really drunk and knocked Xue Bai on the head, which was quite painful. They both endured it and then went into Qinglu and sat down.

, male on the right, female on the left.

"Spread the bill money!"

A group of wedding women each came out holding a big basket and began to scatter money, one string of ten coins each, tied with colorful strips and wrote "long life and wealth".

The guests in Xue Bai's house are all wealthy people who don't care about money, they just want to be happy. Giving money outside the house has caused a situation where everyone is empty... What Xue Bai is very ashamed of is that the money came from Mrs. Guo Guo's house.

Yang Yuyao was a very honorable person, and he did everything extravagantly. He wished he could give this bill money to the whole city of Chang'an.

Probably to prove her innocence with sister and brother Xue Bai.

"It's done!"

In Xue's house, with these words, the guests sat down again and began to have dinner, and the wine and food began to be served.

In this way, Xue Bai and Yan Yan officially became husband and wife.

"Drunk?"

"No." Yan Yan was very tenacious and said, "You go and make a toast. I will wake up after you see off the guests."

As soon as she entered the house, she looked like a mistress of the house.

Xue Bai sat in Qinglu for a while, but his mood changed subtly.

He no longer cared about the dignitaries who came to the banquet today as he did before, and even thought of sending them away early so that the newlyweds could talk quietly.

After a moment, he reminded himself that Wenrou Township was a graveyard for heroes, and he still had to make progress.

~~

After leaving Qinglu, there was already a banquet outside.

Yan Zhenqing and Du Youlin were entertaining guests, so Xue Bai walked over there, greeting people all the way.

Li Xiu came up from the side and said in a low voice: "My grandpa wants to see you, but Zahu has gone to the East Palace."

"What are you panicking about?"

"Do you know what Zhang Bian has been doing recently?" Li Xiu grabbed Xue Bai and said, "Zhang Bian hired the old ministers of the East Palace who were exiled, Li Shizhi, Li Qiwu, Fang Guan, Du Hongjian...

"

"so what?"

"You have done a terrible job for us." Li Xiu said: "You forced my grandfather to deal with Zahu, but in the end, it gave Donggong an opportunity to take advantage of him. Now Donggong, Zhang Bian, and Zahu have joined forces. You said you wanted to win over Wang Zhongsi, but you were nowhere to be seen.

Go convince him."

"Don't worry, we can talk about it after I get married."

"At this point, you must give an explanation."

"Calm down." Xue Bai pushed away Li Xiu's hand holding his sleeve and said, "I said, we will find out after my marriage."

"Why should we trust you? What if your purpose is to remove my grandfather?"

"Cooperating with me is not that simple." Xue Bai said: "If there is any slight disturbance, you will panic and no longer trust me, so why bother to talk more?"

"My grandpa has given you too much face." Li Xiu wanted to say more, "You..."

Xue Bai has already walked away.

I met Zhang Bian on the road. Zhang Bian came to greet him in a graceful manner and said with a smile: "The groom is here to propose a toast."

"Hong-in-law, please wait a moment. I'll toast my husband-in-law first."

"Okay." Zhang Bian asked in a low voice, "Is Li Julang anxious?"

"Make the prince-in-law laugh."

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Bian said: "I know Ge Nu is also trying to win over you, but unfortunately, Ge Nu is narrow-minded."

"Yes, the prince-in-law hit the nail on the head."

Although Xue Bai and Li Linfu reached a consensus, their cooperation was still not smooth, because the thing that stood between him and Li Linfu was not their positions, but Li Linfu's character.

Everyone is a minister of the Tang Dynasty, and they all oppose Li Heng. There is no big opposition in their positions. Li Linfu's biggest problem is actually jealousy, arrogance, and intolerance. The fundamental reason why he supports An Lushan is to prevent others from making generals.

On the way to becoming a prime minister, Xue Bai could change his attitude towards An Lushan, but he could not change his temperament.

Then, if the two parties cooperate, Li Linfu will treat Xue Bai as his subordinate whenever something happens, and he will come and go as soon as he is called, regardless of whether Xue Bai is getting married.

Xue Bai would not let him dictate things, he would do things according to his own rules.

"teacher."

"Still called 'teacher'?"

Xue Bai then picked up a glass of wine, toasted Yan Zhenqing, and said, "My father-in-law."

Yan Zhenqing stroked his beard and smiled, nodded, then his eyes became serious and he said with a straight face: "If you bully Sanniang, I will never forgive you!"
