Chapter 522
"It's not suitable for me to sit, let's change to another place." Xue Rengui said.
In ancient times, rules and etiquette were the most important. The table in front was reserved for princes and nobles.
With Xue Rengui's status, he is not qualified to sit here.
"I didn't just drag you here. This is what Bao Lin said. After a while, the brothers in the army will come and sit here." Cheng Chumo said.
Xue Rengui wanted to say something else, but Lin Xuan said, "Sit down, Rengui, I'm bored by myself."
"Yes."
Lin Xuan spoke, Xue Rengui naturally couldn't refuse, so he sat down.
"You guys sit down first, I have to go to meet the guests." Cheng Chumo said, and left in a hurry.
"Rengui, I haven't congratulated you yet, you are a beautiful wife." Lin Xuan laughed.
Xue Rengui clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou. It's all thanks to Master Hou's kindness. Rengui is what he is today. Rengui is extremely grateful."
He and Liu Yinhuan fell in love with each other, but because of the poverty of his family, Liu Yuanwai didn't like him at all.
If Lin Xuan hadn't sent someone to invite him to Chang'an and support him, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Xue Rengui is a fifth-rank general, so naturally Liu Yuanwai would not object to his marriage with Liu Yinhuan.
"Don't say these things. The expedition is imminent. During this time, go home and spend more time with your relatives." Lin Xuan laughed.
"Don't worry, Lord Hou, the army is all elites drawn from various battalions. Most of them have been on the battlefield. With such a long training, they are no worse than Turkic cavalry." Xue Rengui said.
"With you by my side, I can rest assured."
Although Xue Rengui's ability is exaggerated a lot in the novel, but as a famous general in history, Xue Rengui naturally has the ability.
Although it has not been honed on the battlefield, it is still no problem to train a soldier.
While Lin Xuan and Xue Rengui were chatting, Cheng Chumo brought some people over.
These people are all lieutenant generals. After all, the number has expanded to 1 now, and Cheng Chumo and the others alone are naturally not enough.
Some of these people Lin Xuan met a few times when he was in the army, and some were promoted later, which he had never met.
Xue Rengui helped Lin Xuan introduce them one by one.
Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Captain Tang Hongfeng said to Xue Rengui: "General, I wonder how the general thought about our previous proposal?"
"This... I haven't thought about it yet." Xue Rengui glanced at Lin Xuan and said.
"Master Hou, we don't have much time, we have to make a decision." Tang Hongfeng said.
Lin Xuan asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Master Hou, we don't belong to the Twelve Guards. We would like to invite the general to play, and ask His Majesty to bestow the battalion number." Tang Hongfeng said.
After hearing this, Lin Xuan understood why Xue Rengui hesitated.
Although there are twelve guards in the Tang Dynasty, it does not mean that there are only twelve guards. Please seal the camp number, there is nothing wrong with it.
It's just that if the battalion number is sealed, there will be a corresponding official position.
For example, the highest general of Qianniuwei is General Qianniuwei.
Xue Rengui felt that Lin Xuan was the main general, and he was somewhat intent on seizing power.
"Master Hou, please grant your majesty the title of camp." Xue Rengui cupped his hands and said.
"Okay, I'll talk to His Majesty later."
Lin Xuan nodded. Just because he went, it didn't mean he wanted to be the general.
It's not good to enjoy it when you've got the title of title, why bother so much.
While everyone was chatting, time passed quietly, and Yuchi Baolin had already returned from welcoming his relatives.
The Yuchi family is from Xianbei, those aristocratic families claim to be noble, so they would not want to be married to the Yuchi family.
Therefore, what Yuchi Baolin married was not a noble girl, but the daughter of a county magistrate. As for her appearance, she was covered with a veil, but Lin Xuan didn't see it.
"Do you have to paint like this when you get married?"
The bride can't see it, but the groom can.
Seeing the thick makeup on Yuchi Baolin's face, Lin Xuan shuddered a little.
Do you want to draw like this when you get married?
Xue Rengui nodded unnaturally after having experienced this.
Next, go to the chapel, the bride is sent to the bridal chamber, and the banquet begins.
Cheng Chumo and others also came to the table of Lin Xuan and the others and sat down.
"I'm finally done, I'm almost exhausted." Cheng Chumo complained.
"When you got married, didn't Baolin also serve as your guest? I was at a loss." Li Dezhen said angrily.
He got married two years ago, Li Jing didn't make a big deal in order to keep a low profile and he was the second son.
During this period of time, not only Cheng Chumo was the guest minister, but now Yuchi Baolin was also the guest minister.
"Haha, let's not talk about this, the dishes are here, let's eat and eat." Cheng Chumo said.
"It's delicious, as expected of being the cook of the Duke's family."
Tang Hongfeng and others praised it again and again.
Although most restaurants in Chang'an now have stir-fried dishes, the price is not cheap.
Tang Hongfeng and the others had a low status before, and they had just been promoted, so how could they go to those places.
The cooks of Yuchi's family have all studied in Lin's family, so the dishes they cook are naturally delicious.
Yuchi Baolin toasted at the table, and came to the table with Lin Xuan and others.
"Thank you everyone, I would like to offer a toast to everyone."
Yuchi Baolin held the wine and smiled happily.
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses, saying congratulations.
After drinking, Yuchi Baolin said apologetically, "Everyone, drink slowly, you're being negligent."
"Okay, go get busy."
After Yuchi Baolin left, Lin Xuan asked strangely, "Since when did Baolin drink so well? How will he be married when he drinks like this?"
This wine is drunk by immortals, and it has been cellared for a year.
He had just seen Yuchi Baolin's cup, but there was nothing left of the real cup.
After drinking like this, it is estimated that the wine will be mouthed before the toast is finished, so it can still be a bridal chamber.
Cheng Chumo was sitting next to Lin Xuan, heard the words and whispered in his ear: "It's all water, it's just to go to the latrine a few more times, so as not to delay the bridal chamber."
"How do you..."
Before Lin Xuan finished speaking, he came back to his senses, and it seemed that Cheng Chumo did the same thing.
"It's all a default thing, no one will take it seriously." Cheng Chumo said.
"It's better to marry the princess." Cheng Chumo said enviously.
"Where is it?"
"You don't need to hold a wedding when you marry a princess, and you don't even need to toast one by one. Just go straight to the bridal chamber." Cheng Chumo said.
"You don't need to toast?" Lin Xuan asked in surprise.
He knew that the wedding ceremony was organized by the Ministry of Etiquette. After all, the prince's son-in-law seemed to be honorable, but in fact it was almost the same as being married.
The difference is that children can have their own last name.
"The princess is the king, so naturally the son-in-law doesn't need to toast everyone, he only needs to toast the princes and nobles." Cheng Chumo said.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think there are many princes and nobles in Datang?"
"Naturally." Cheng Chumo didn't understand why Lin Xuan asked such a question for a while.
"Then you think I need to toast less than you?" Lin Xuan said angrily.
Although Yuchi Baolin is the future Duke of E, after all, he is only the future. When he gets married, many princes and nobles just send people to give gifts, or send their eldest son to attend.
And Lin Xuan married the eldest princess, as long as the princes and nobles in Chang'an will be present.
Not to mention drinking less, it's even impossible to replace wine with water like Cheng Chumo and the others.
For a moment, Lin Xuan blamed himself, he shouldn't have gotten the gods drunk in the first place.
Otherwise, with the strength of Datang's wine, he can completely drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.
After the banquet, Lin Xuan was dragged by Cheng Chumo to the bridal chamber.
Lin Xuan was also a little curious about the ancient methods of making bridal chambers.
However, seeing how Cheng Chumo and the others made trouble in the bridal chamber, Lin Xuan felt a little bored.
It is nothing more than letting the groom perform martial arts and let the bride recite poems.
But that's right, the bride's hijab can't be removed until the bridal chamber, and it's more reserved in ancient times, so it's the only way to make trouble.
Lin Xuan felt that it was boring, and it was not as fun as making a bridal chamber in later generations.
