Chapter 1961: Congratulations
The Su family was busy preparing for the wedding.
Big red lanterns were hung high, and big red silk cloths were tied around the treetops under the corridor.
There were also big red flowers tied on the two big stone lions at the door.
“Crackle…”
The sound of firecrackers rang out again, and Su Laosi, wearing brand new clothes, became the protagonist at the gate.
"Hahahaha...congratulations..."
Su Laosi: "...Hahahaha...congratulations..."
It turns out that this is what it feels like when your dad is standing at the door welcoming guests!
Su Laosi smacked his lips and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
He has the style of Old Man Su.
Lord Xia just got out of the sedan chair and saw Su Laosi's appearance. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt both amused and envious.
I couldn't help but recall the scene of Old Man Su standing at the door welcoming guests.
No wonder the old men in Daliushu Village tease Brother Su from time to time.
This scene of receiving congratulations from others from time to time is really enviable.
Lord Xia was not jealous, he was genuinely happy for the Su family.
It’s just that I envy those who are certain.
His son also studied for so many years, and although he finally passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, his ranking was nothing compared to that of the top scholar.
"Fourth brother, congratulations..." Lord Xia stepped forward.
"Uncle Xia, congratulations to you...hahaha..."
Su Laosi was laughing so proudly.
Humble, low-key, non-existent!
His son has become the top scorer in the imperial examination, why is he still being modest?
Lord Xia patted Su Laosi on the shoulder and said, "A tiger father will have a dog son, and the disciple will surpass the father."
Su Laosi: "..."
Suddenly I felt a little ashamed.
He actually doesn't know many words.
Then, he held his head high and chest out again.
I didn’t have money to go to school back then.
If I had money to study, maybe I could become the top scorer!
When Su Laosi thought of this, he straightened his back even more.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"The Queen has arrived!"
Following Eunuch Wang's greeting, the emperor's dragon sedan stopped at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.
Su Laosi: "..."
I almost rolled down the stairs!
Why are the Emperor and the Empress here?
Su Laosi crawled over and knelt down to welcome the emperor.
Oh my God!
Are the Emperor and the Empress here to congratulate their family?
"I, I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress."
Su Laosi stuttered and couldn't even speak straight.
"No need for formalities." The Zhengde Emperor was particularly approachable and said with a pleasant face, "The Empress and I heard that the newly crowned number one scholar is getting married today, so we have come specially to congratulate the Duke."
Su Laosi: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Su Laosi was so excited that he almost fell over.
The Emperor and the Empress really came to congratulate!
Oh my god!
He is so successful!
What an honor this is!
When his son got married, the emperor and the empress came in person to congratulate him!
Su Laosi felt like he was lost.
The manager at the door had already stumbled over to report to Old Man Su.
I fell twice along the way.
The Emperor and the Empress came to the Duke's Mansion, and as the steward, he felt very honored!
When Old Man Su and Old Lady Su heard that the Emperor and the Empress were coming, they hurriedly led the entire family to run to welcome them.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, welcomes you..."
When Old Man Su saw the figure of Emperor Zhengde from afar, he hurriedly bowed and paid homage.
Emperor Zhengde personally went up to help Old Man Su up.
"Hahaha... My dear minister, please stand up quickly. The Queen and I have come here specially to ask for a glass of wedding wine."
Old Man Su: "Hahahaha... Congratulations to you..."
Emperor Zhengde: “…”
Old Mrs. Su: “…”
Other members of the Su family: "..."
The air stagnated instantly.
Old Man Su: “…”
What did he just say?
Why did he just blurt out the nonsense without thinking?
Emperor Zhengde: "...Hahahaha...Congratulations..."
Old Man Su: "Huh? Haha... enough wedding wine, enough..."
Emperor Zhengde: “…”
Everyone in the Su family: "..."
Others: "..."
I dare not laugh.
No matter how much you want to laugh, you have to hold it in.
Old Man Su looked embarrassed.
Old Mrs. Su looked helpless.
Instead, the Queen couldn't help but laugh, then looked at the Su family and asked, "Why isn't Fuya here?"
Old Madam Su quickly replied, "In reply to your Majesty, Fu Ya went to the Saint Maiden Palace."
After that, he explained, "Princess Zimo has no relatives in Dayan. Fuya is still a Saint of Southern Xinjiang, so we wanted to marry her off as a member of her family. This way, we can fulfill the friendship between Southern Xinjiang and Dayan."
After hearing what Old Lady Su said, the Empress nodded approvingly and said, "It's only right. Fuya is very thoughtful."
Emperor Zhengde also expressed his approval of Tang Bao's approach.
However, he suddenly thought of something and told Eunuch Wang, "Pass on my order. Have the Ministry of Internal Affairs send some people to the Saint Maiden Palace to obey the princess's instructions. Also send some imperial guards to protect the princess. Don't let any strangers offend her."
After saying that, he gave Eunuch Wang a look.
Eunuch Wang: “…”
Startled.
I seem to... understand.
"I obey your order!"
Eunuch Wang agreed and ran off to convey the order.
How could the Emperor be sending someone to protect the princess? He was clearly worried that someone in the Saint Maiden Palace might have ulterior motives and be trying to seduce the princess!
Eunuch Wang thought of certain rumors and the handsome and powerful men in the Holy Maiden Palace.
According to gossip, those men were prepared by the high priest of Southern Xinjiang for the saint.
Fortunately, after the little princess returned to Beijing, she never stayed overnight in the Holy Maiden Palace.
Oh my! Your Majesty is eliminating hidden dangers for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
It seems that even though the emperor is the ruler of a country, he is no different from an ordinary father and has a heart full of love for his son!
Eunuch Wang had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and his feet ran even faster.
If you don’t know, you might think that Eunuch Wang has regained his youth.
It has to be said that Eunuch Wang is indeed a favorite who has been with the emperor for many years. No one else would be able to guess what Emperor Zhengde meant.
The news that Emperor Zhengde came to the Duke's Mansion to offer congratulations spread quickly throughout the streets and alleys of the capital as if it had wings.
All the official families in the capital heard the news and rushed to the Duke of Ying's mansion.
Although the Su family did not send out many wedding invitations, there were so many people coming to congratulate them.
The emperor has gone, so how can they not go and show their face?
You said there was no invitation?
What is an invitation?
Don’t know!
have no idea!
They only know that if the emperor goes, they have to go!
As a result, the road in front of the Duke's Mansion was completely blocked by carriages from various mansions.
Helplessly, the adults and their families from each mansion had to get off the car early and walk to the gate of the Duke's Mansion.
At this time, the masters and servants in the Duke's Mansion were almost going crazy with busyness.
With so many dignitaries rushing in, not to mention the food, how much tea do we need to prepare?
The main thing is that the Su family did not prepare in advance!
Finally, people like Madam Xia and Princess Cheng'en who came to the banquet all helped to make arrangements.
