Chapter 2767 Special Congratulations
"yes,"
Li Bushang said, "Xie Jiaojiao's adoptive father hasn't arrived yet."
"Oh, her adoptive father..."
Zhu Feng frowned and thought for a while before he recalled, "Oh right, I think I heard some news when I was in Handongwei before. She has always been the one in charge of the Xie family. Her adoptive father is away from home all year round and rarely returns to Bailong City."
"Yes."
"Then why didn't you hurry over to celebrate your adopted daughter's wedding this time?"
"Xie Jiaojiao had sent the news to her adoptive father a long time ago, but it seems that things were not going smoothly along the way, so it was delayed until today."
"Is that so..."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "There's nothing to forgive for this. Okay, have someone watch over it, but don't miss the auspicious time."
"yes."
Li Bushang turned around and walked over, instructing the housekeeper and guards, "The Emperor and the Imperial Concubine have arrived. Tell all the guards to step up their alert and not let anyone enter the Li Mansion."
"yes."
The housekeeper hurried downstairs to pass on the message.
Nan Yan sat next to Zhu Feng, looked at Li Bushang and the others busying around, shook her head and sighed softly.
Zhu Feng asked, "What's wrong?"
Nan Yan said, "This silly child, even at this time, he's still calling me 'Xie Jiaojiao'."
Just now, Li Bushang kept calling her "Xie Jiaojiao" instead of a nickname like "Jiaojiao", which seemed too distant.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Just said: "It's okay."
“…”
"In a little while, he'll be getting married. He has the rest of his life to slowly change."
Nan Yan turned her head and glanced at Zhu Feng.
Then he whispered, "Yeah."
On the other side, the housekeeper Wang Sheng walked to the gate. Outside the open gate, it was usually quiet and almost deserted. But today it was full of people. Even those who had picked up the reward money were reluctant to leave. All the people stood at the bottom of the steps, but they all stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to see inside.
After all, just now, when the emperor and the imperial concubine arrived, everyone knelt down and did not dare to look directly at the emperor.
Now, I want to see what His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine look like.
So these people kept pushing and shoving, nearly breaking through the door several times. Wang Sheng frowned, beckoned the head guard, and said, "Everyone, be alert today. You just saw the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine arrive. This is a great honor, but if there's even the slightest mistake, you, all of you, will be executed, not even your entire clan, understand!"
The leader was also frightened just now.
I originally thought that the rumor that the imperial concubine would come was just a rumor, but I didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would come in person.
How dare I neglect it?
After Wang Sheng agreed, he hurried down to tell all his men, "Guard the gate well. Don't let anyone you don't know get close to it."
After saying that, he turned to the people outside who were watching the excitement and said, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Just then, another carriage came from afar.
The common people here didn't know what was going on. They thought another important person had arrived, so they all stepped aside. They saw the carriage stop at the gate of Li Mansion.
Wang Sheng was about to turn around and go in, but when he saw the carriage, he immediately frowned.
According to today's guest list, except for two important officials in the court whom he could count - He Yi and Gu Tingqiu, who had served as the chief ministers of the cabinet one after another and only sent people to deliver gifts to express that they were unable to attend, all the guests had already arrived.
Who is this?
Moreover, judging from the shape of the carriage, it was just an ordinary carriage, not one used by officials.
He walked to the steps with a frown and said, "Whose carriage dares to stop at the gate of our Li Mansion? Did you know that we are having a wedding here today? Hurry and leave!"
The coachman looked up at the plaque of the Li Mansion and said to the back, "Master, we're here."
Wang Sheng was even more baffled when he heard this. He walked down the stairs, pointed at them, and said, "What do you mean we've arrived? Who are you? Who told you to park the carriage here? Get out of here!"
At this time, a servant jumped down from the carriage. As soon as he stood firm, he turned around and stretched out his hand towards the carriage. Soon, he helped a middle-aged man who was dressed quite gorgeously but looked dusty to walk down. The man was broad and fat, and he swayed when he landed.
Then he looked up at the Li Mansion and said, "Well, this is it."
As soon as he saw this man, Wang Sheng frowned.
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged man glanced at him and said, "My last name is Xie."
"ah?"
Wang Sheng was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately realized: "Yes, it's the master-in-law?"
The man said, "Not bad."
Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that the auspicious hour would arrive but his father-in-law hadn't yet, and he wondered whether he would be able to worship in the hall or not. Now that he had finally arrived, he hurriedly said, "Master, please go in first. We'll be doing the ceremony soon. Fortunately, he arrived before the auspicious hour. Please come in quickly."
As he spoke, he turned around and ordered the servant beside him: "Hurry up and go in to report to the master!"
The boy immediately turned around and ran inside.
Wang Sheng was about to lead Mr. Xie in when suddenly, he heard a loud noise behind him and he quickly turned around.
A large group of people were walking down the long street.
These people were carrying a clay statue in their hands, and many people in front and behind were waving rice stalks, sickles and other objects, chanting something, and some were beating gongs and drums while clearing the way. The common people who had originally retreated to both sides because of Mr. Xie's carriage now retreated to the corner of the street, pointing and looking at these people.
Wang Sheng frowned immediately when he saw it.
It belongs to the Earthly Immortal Society.
Why did these people come here again?
Moreover, there were so many of them that they completely occupied the entire long street. Some of them even walked right up to their door. Wang Sheng hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing? Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Unexpectedly, these people not only did not retreat, but instead walked directly to the door of their Li Mansion and stopped.
The tall clay statue of the earth immortal also stopped at the gate of the Li Mansion, almost blocking the entire gate.
Wang Sheng asked, "What are you doing?"
At this moment, a man stepped out from the crowd. It was none other than the leader of the Earthly Immortal Society's branch who had been orchestrating the plan in the main hall. He looked up at Wang Sheng, then bowed and said, "Excuse me, is this the residence of Lord Li Bushang, the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"
Wang Sheng said, "Yes. What are you going to do?"
The hall master smiled and said, "We heard that Lord Li was very happy today, so we came to congratulate him."
