When the guests in the mansion heard that the wedding procession had returned, they all stretched their necks to look outside the door.
The guest standing at the door quickly ran in and said to the others, "There are so many people coming to see the bride off."
"Sending the bride?" Everyone was puzzled: "You said it wrong or you saw it wrong? Did you mistake the people who were picking up the bride for the people who were sending the bride?"
Generally, the number of people who send off the bride will not exceed the number of people who welcome the bride. Even if a wealthy family is marrying off their daughter, there will not be more people who send off the bride than those who welcome the bride. After all, the family who welcomes the bride is also from a wealthy family. For the sake of face and to show their importance, they will bring many people to welcome the bride.
Logically speaking, Mendu is a high-ranking official, and it is impossible for the wedding reception team to be outnumbered by the wedding escort team.
"I was not wrong, nor was I wrong. They were riding horses behind the sedan chair. If they were not escorting the bride, then what were they? I think there were at least three hundred of them."
"Three hundred people?" Everyone's eyes widened: "So many?"
"They were riding horses and looked like soldiers."
"Soldier? Who is the future Mrs. Mendo?"
"I heard that she was an Oiran from a brothel."
"The Oiran can get so many soldiers to escort her to her wedding?"
"I heard that she is a relative of Master Mu Nan Jin Mu."
"If he is a relative of Lord Mu, then it makes sense."
"Here it comes, here it comes, the bride is getting off the sedan."
Unfortunately, the bride was covered with a red veil, so no one could see her appearance.
After the bride stepped over the fire basin and came in, the wedding party followed.
The guests were surprised to see so many people seeing the bride off. Hundreds of soldiers were more eye-catching than the bride.
Captain Liu walked up to Mu Nanjin and asked, "Is the bride really a daughter?"
Mu Nanjin asked him back: "Can I give birth to a daughter this big?"
"It could be a goddaughter."
Mu Nanjin: “…”
Captain Liu said angrily: "Since she is not your daughter, why do you say she is your daughter?"
"If I don't say that, how can I attract you to the wedding?"
"Haha." Captain Liu smiled wryly, "You have attracted all the officials above the rank of Captain from the entire Duwei Mansion. You are really capable."
"Are you all here?"
"Yes, they are all here, including the governor. I'll give you some face, shall I?"
Mu Nanjin nodded with satisfaction.
[Not bad, not bad, give me some face. ]
Captain Liu: “…”
He dared to say that if someone didn't give her face, he would definitely hear all the gossip about that person the next day.
Captain Liu pointed at Jiang Zan and the others and asked Mu Nanjin, "Are they real soldiers?"
"yes."
Captain Liu was puzzled: "Where did you invite so many soldiers?"
"In the barracks."
Captain Liu's eyes widened. "You brought the soldiers out of the barracks? Did you get permission?"
Mu Nanjin thought for a moment and said, "I said it in front of the generals. They didn't object, so that means they agreed."
Captain Liu: “…”
Did those generals spoil her like this? "The bride and groom are about to get married."
Mu Nanjin didn't say anything more to him and squeezed into the crowd to watch the bride and groom get married.
The groom had no parents, so he could only bow to the empty chair.
After the couple bowed to each other, the bride was sent to the bridal chamber.
The groom also accompanied her to the backyard.
Then the butler invited the guests to take their seats: "The groom's relatives and friends sit in the left courtyard, and the bride's relatives and friends sit in the right courtyard."
The people in the left courtyard saw Mu Nanjin coming in and started discussing in a low voice: "They said the bride was a relative of Lord Mu, but I think that's all lies. The bride is the most beautiful courtesan in the brothel. Lord Mu runs a brothel, so it's not impossible that she's supporting her own courtesan. Don't you agree?"
"I think what Mr. Dong said makes sense."
"Isn't it inappropriate for a first-rank official to marry a prostitute as his wife?"
"It's because it's not suitable that I want to be a relative of Master Mu."
Mu Nanjin naturally heard their voices.
【Tsk.】
[Who are these adults? Why are they so gossipy?]
[If I knew their names, I would dig up all their private affairs and let everyone discuss them to see if they dare to gossip about them secretly.]
Suddenly, the left courtyard became quiet and no one dared to even fart.
[Hey, why is it suddenly quiet? ]
[Could it be that he was overwhelmed by the majesty of our governor? ]
[Hee, our governor is still awesome. ]
Governor: “…”
Everyone: “…”
They were not afraid of the governor, they were afraid of her.
After the maid poured wine for them, Mu Nanjin raised her glass and said, "Thank you all for your presence."
"Don't drink."
Kan Chaoyan and Liu Qianhu said in unison.
Mu Nanjin was slightly stunned: "It should be okay for me to have a drink, right?"
Captain Liu snatched her wine glass and said, "Why would a girl like you drink wine? Just drink tea."
Everyone in the courtyard nodded in unison.
The New Year's Eve half a month ago was a night they still remember vividly. They will never forget the 'knife, knife, knife, knife, knife' sound that night which sounded like chanting. Their heads explode whenever they think of it.
Kan Chaoyan said to the maid, "Pour Master Mu a cup of tea."
"Yes." The maid poured another cup of tea for Mu Nanjin.
"Come, come, let's pay our respects to Master Mu."
Kan Chaoyan raised his glass, and the other adults also raised their glasses.
When the banquet was over, Mu Nanjin didn't drink a drop of wine.
Happy times always pass quickly. Jiang Zan and his team started training again early the next morning after returning to the military camp.
The training that followed was increasingly rigorous, and Mu Nanjin also taught them a technique that could restore their strength. That is, when they were tired, they could use this technique to restore their physical strength to its peak state. However, they were ordinary people after all, so the technique could only last for one hour, and they needed to rest for three hours before they could use it again.
Apart from this, the technique does not require internal strength. One only needs to memorize the formula and know how to use it. It is very convenient and suitable for Jiang Zan and others.
In this way, they were trained rigorously for another two months.
At this time, some bad news came from the border.
That is, the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Great Liao Kingdom joined forces to attack the Great Chen Kingdom.
The imperial master of the Great Chen Kingdom was unable to fight two enemies at once, resulting in defeat in every battle and the territory of the Great Chen Kingdom was reduced again and again.
Although the attack was not against the Daqian Kingdom, the generals of the Daqian Kingdom had already realized that after the Dachen Kingdom was conquered, they would become the target of the Liao Kingdom and the Zhou Kingdom.
Every general in General Dingguo's tent had a very serious look on his face, and everyone couldn't help but sigh at the thought of going to war.
They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that the soldiers will have to sacrifice their lives to defend the country.
If we win the war, it will be fine, but if we lose, the people will suffer.
At this time, Mu Nanjin walked in and saw everyone's sad faces, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
