Chapter 1062: The Man Comes Riding on a Bamboo Horse (51)
Time really flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Xue Yuan finally reached the age to get married.
Originally, the wedding house was to be set at the Xue family's, but Qiu Yang and Lu Feng intervened and insisted on buying another wedding house for Xue Yuan in Yanzhou Prefecture.
"Ayao, if you don't say anything, I'll say you!" Lu Feng said in the tone of a person who has experienced it, "They are a newlywed couple, and you, an old man, shouldn't get close to them."
Xue Yao was bewildered: (￣△￣；), who is the old man talking about? Although he is already forty years old, he is still handsome, okay?
"What are you thinking about? You haven't said anything for a long time!" Qiu Yang pushed Xue Yao and said, "Brother Lu, you are being polite enough. If I were to say, you are just an old man."
"You are a rotten old man, and your whole family is a rotten old man." Xue Yao, who still had some courtesy towards Lu Feng, did not give Qiu Yang face. "Look at yourself, with your unshaven beard and wearing these tattered clothes with exposed arms.
Those who know you know that you are doing this to facilitate your practice, while those who don’t know you think that you are so poor that you can’t even afford to put on your sleeves.”
Although I was the one who brought up this topic, these two people are almost a hundred years old in total. How could they still argue like this?
Lu Feng said helplessly: "Alright, alright! Stop it, I'm an old man now! You haven't started a family yet, you are both in the prime of your life."
Xue Yao and Qiu Yang: This doesn’t sound like a good thing.
"Let's put it this way! I think we definitely need to buy a house." To prevent the two from arguing again, Lu Feng quickly changed the subject. "After all, giving the two children more time to be alone together is the only way they can have the next generation sooner."
Qiu Yang immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, this is a serious matter, Ayao, you won't object!"
Speaking of children, Xue Yao's expression suddenly changed slightly, but he quickly adjusted himself and said, "Brother Lu, Xue Yuan and Ning Yun's child can only have the surname Xue, you can't bring him back to the Lu family."
"Xue Yao, what are you talking about!" Lu Feng was really angry this time. "I know you took care of Ayuan, but he is a direct descendant of my Lu family. I don't ask him to have the surname Lu, but his children, and his children's children, should all have the surname Lu."
"No matter what you say, I am Ayuan's father now. I have the right to decide where his wedding house is located!" Xue Yao said firmly, "Either the three of us will pay to buy him another house, and he and his children will still have the surname Xue.
Otherwise, his new house can be arranged in my current house. When he becomes a father in the future, not only will his child have the surname Xue, but I will also decide whether you can see the child in the future."
Lu Feng and Qiu Yang both felt that Xue Yao was too overbearing, but there was nothing they could do so they could only agree to the first plan.
The eighth day of the fifth lunar month is an auspicious day for marriage.
Located on the busiest street in Yanzhou City, there is a house with a plaque hanging on it that reads "Xue Mansion". Three days ago, the gates inside and outside the house were already decorated with lights and colorful lanterns.
A huge "囍" character was pasted on the brand new vermilion lacquer gate, and red silk lanterns hanging under the eaves swayed in the breeze.
Servants and maids in the mansion were coming and going, some were responsible for leading the guests into the inner hall, and some were responsible for leading the guests to their seats.
"See? The words on the door were written by Lu Feng, the former president of the Capital Academy!" someone said enviously, "If only I had the luck to get some of his guidance, I wouldn't be so mediocre now."
"Come on! How could someone like us possibly win the favor of President Lu?" The man's friend laughed at him and said, "You don't really believe what Xiao Jianlu said, that Xue Yuan's official position wasn't obtained legitimately!"
"How could it be?" Although the man said this at first, from his evasive eyes, it can be seen that he really believed the news that Xiao Jianlu said.
The man's friend shook his head. After all, they were good friends, so he decided to give him a few more words: "If it was just an official position like Xiao Jianlu's, it would not be difficult to manage it well, but Xue Yuan entered the officialdom as a seventh-rank archer sergeant.
This shows that his family is definitely not simple, and his last name is Xue! Anyone who goes to their blacksmith shop to order weapons must be rich or noble, doesn't this prove the problem?"
Someone nearby heard their conversation and nodded, saying, "This brother's analysis is good, but you are not very familiar with official positions. Among these official positions, there is one that belongs to a military commander.
He was in charge of weapons manufacturing, and was called the Strong Crossbow General. He nominally had military power and was a fourth-rank official. Lord Xue held this position.
After these words were spoken, the person who had been unconvinced before no longer dared to say anything, and cursed Xiao Jianlu's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
Not long after, a vermilion lacquered sedan chair carried by eight people arrived amid the sounds of firecrackers and joy. When the curtain was lifted, the bride Ning Yun was revealed, wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe.
She held a Ruyi in her hand, and the master of ceremonies shouted, "The bride is crossing the fire basin!"
Ning Yun stepped over the brazier with the help of the bridesmaid. She walked steadily, the tips of her embroidered shoes just brushing against the charcoal fire, but the hem of her skirt did not move at all.
This made Lu Feng and Qiu Yang, who were watching the ceremony, nod their heads in satisfaction - it seemed that the nanny who had been found to teach Ning Yun had done a good job, and Ning Yun herself was a person with strong learning ability. Just from this one glance, it could be seen that she had learned very well.
