Chapter 510: The waxing and waning of the moon, joys and sorrows (Part 1)

The next day.

The fifteenth year of Tianji, October 25th.

Before daybreak, bursts of festive gong and drum sounds could be heard in Shuzhou City. The city was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, and embroidered dragon flags were hung on both sides of several main streets.

Ning Yuke had issued an imperial decree a few days ago, ordering the whole world to celebrate the great victory at Niutou Mountain today.

All officials have one day off.

A general amnesty was granted to hundreds of minor offenders in prison.

A banquet for all the people was held in Fuyanfang, starting from early morning until midnight. The whole city was decorated with red, just like the New Year, although the imperial edict said that it was to celebrate the victory of the Battle of Niutou Mountain and the surrender of Yangzhou.

But even an ordinary citizen knows why such a big fuss is happening today.

Naturally, it was to add some luck to the wedding of Wei Changtian and Master Wei.

From "a semi-open secret" to "I'm going to show my cards now, no more pretending".

When Wei Changtian charged into the imperial army alone twice in succession, everyone knew which side he was on.

Of course, for ordinary people, most of them thought that the Wei family and Ning Yuke should be in a cooperative relationship, and they didn’t know that the latter was actually completely supported by Wei Changtian to get to the position.

But no matter what, Wei Changtian's status in Shu Kingdom is no less than that of the Queen.

His marriage is actually no different from the "Emperor's Wedding".

So even though there was such a big fuss today, no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

On the contrary, many people are happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Because these people have personally experienced the "institutional superiority" of Shu.

They hoped that this kind of life could continue, and naturally hoped that the Kingdom of Shu would not perish.

The key to the survival of Shu Kingdom depends on two people.

One is Ning Yuke, and the other is Wei Changtian.

From a dissolute prince who was despised by the world to the beloved Master Wei today. It has been more than a year since he came to Shuzhou. At least Wei Changtian has completed his "whitewashing" in Shuzhou.

But in fact, he has never "positively promoted" himself. On the contrary, he often deliberately "gives" some credit to others.

For example, when the land tax was reduced, the people only knew that Her Majesty was kind-hearted and treated the people well.

For example, when food prices are stable, the people only care about the prosperity and morality, and are unwilling to make money from national disasters.

For example, when the bandits disappeared, the people only knew that it was the Freemasons who acted on behalf of heaven and eliminated evil. Therefore, ordinary people did not know that Wei Changtian had done so many good things intentionally or unintentionally, but they still subtly changed their views of him.

Even if it cannot be called worship, it is not an exaggeration to say that I respect and admire him.

Therefore, the festive mood in Shuzhou City today is not false at all.

The sound of flutes and drums was heard, figures of people were scattered around, and the road was filled with the fragrance of musk.

At the auspicious moment, Wei Changtian, who had not gotten up late, rode his tall horse to the Liang Mansion and took Liang Qin, who was covered with a red veil, into the bridal sedan.

Comrade Xiao Xu took a lot of effort to make this sedan chair. It was built in the style of an imperial sedan chair, with many phoenixes carved around it and a row of colorful lights in front of it. It is not only exquisite but also very grand.

Leading the sedan chair, he rode on horseback and walked at the head of the wedding procession.

Wei Changtian walked along the main street, but did not go directly home. Instead, he led the team with music and dance and walked through several more streets.

Unlike the last time he married Xu Qingwan, this time it was a formal marriage. The rules and procedures were much more complicated, and parading in a sedan chair was one of them.

"Congratulations on your wedding, young master!"

"Master Wei! I wish you and your wife a long and happy life together!"

"This sedan is so beautiful! I would be willing to die if I could sit in it once!"

"Daddy! I found some lucky money!"

"Put it away quickly. This is Master Wei's wedding gift. I'll put a string on it for you when we get back. You should carry it with you every day from now on."

“.”

The people on both sides of the road were cheerful and crowded. Some naughty children even followed the team for several streets, jumping and picking up a bag full of wedding money.

In fact, this was the first time Wei Changtian experienced such a scene.

In his previous two marriages, the brides "came to the door on their own initiative" and there was no bride-picking process, so he had not been able to personally experience the excitement of "sharing joy with the people".

But now, while being under countless gazes and hearing all kinds of congratulations echoing in his ears, Wei Changtian unexpectedly did not feel the slightest bit of embarrassment.

Could it be that I have a social compulsion?

He smiled and waved to the crowd, and Wei Changtian felt very confused.

He originally thought that he might not be able to adapt to this kind of "surrounded by crowds" scene, but unexpectedly, he was not embarrassed at all.

But it makes sense now. Compared with what I have experienced before, this is just a small scene.

She looked back at the slightly swaying curtain of the sedan chair and the smile on her face widened.

After today, I will have another wife.

He married three girls in one year, and he is still four away from becoming "Wei Xiaobao".

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At this rate, we will be able to successfully achieve our goal by the year after next at the latest . The sun is shining brightly overhead, and the sky is clear.

Wei Changtian didn't know what Liang Qin's mood was at the moment, but he was really happy. He even put aside all the bad things about Xu Suisui, Kuilong and Dafeng for the time being.

It seems that my decision to not delay any longer and marry Liang Qin earlier was the right one.

Tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows are there?

There are always endless troubles to be solved, so we should do what needs to be done as soon as possible to avoid regrets in the future.

The sedan chair parade lasted the entire morning.

In the late afternoon, the wedding procession finally returned to Wei's house, which was decorated with red everywhere.

Amid the congratulations of the guests, Liang Qin temporarily went into the side room, while Wei Changtian went to the main hall with everyone else to talk and chat, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

The word "婚" (marriage) can be broken down into "女昏" (female), so ancient wedding ceremonies were usually held at dusk, also to make it convenient for people to enter the bridal chamber directly after the ceremony.

Now there is still more than an hour before the auspicious time, so everyone naturally has to wait a little longer.

In the autumn water and silver hall, mandarin ducks fly side by side; in the sky wind and jade palace, phoenixes sing in harmony.

Outside the house, the best opera troupe in Shuzhou was performing a play called "Fate of the Fairies" for the guests, which drew constant cheers.

Inside the house, Wei Changtian was chatting and laughing with a group of important guests and friends, and the atmosphere was festive and lively.

Although according to etiquette, Comrade Xiao Xu and Lu Jingyao could not show up today, Chu Xianping and Du Chang were still in Yangzhou and could not make it back, and Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen once again missed their son's wedding.

However, Liang Zhen had returned from Guanghan County, and You Wenzong and other civil officials were all very nice people, so even though they were just polite words, it was by no means a dull occasion.

Just like that, amidst laughter, the sun slowly set in the west.

The colorful clouds in the sunset seemed like a red veil sent by heaven, covering the entire Shuzhou city with a layer of soft wedding dress.

Wei Changtian smiled and looked at the copper clock in the corner. There was less than a quarter of an hour left before the ceremony began.

"Mr. You"

He smiled and bowed to You Wenzon, the host of the wedding, and was just about to say something.

But at this moment, Zhang San suddenly walked in hurriedly from outside.

Although he had a smile on his face, it looked obviously forced.

"Young Master."

Walking quickly along the wall to behind Wei Changtian, Zhang San leaned over and whispered, "An incense stick ago, Princess Wuping was just sent to the back door of the house. The people who came unblocked the princess's acupuncture points and then left. They were all masters, and our people were unable to keep them."

"I have already placed the princess in the backyard, but..."

"Sir, Princess Wuping insists on seeing you now."
