Yi Zhuo laughed dryly, "Master Xue rushed over and forgot to prepare a gift. Master Xue said that it's his disciple's wedding, so how can he not prepare a gift? So … he went back to prepare a gift, hehe … "
Yang Fan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
Xue Huaiyi's character was certainly not flattering, but he had a sense of loyalty. Although Yang Fan disdained the way he made his fortune and didn't want to learn from him, he still felt close to this Great Monk Xue who sincerely cared for him.
Since Xue Huaiyi had left, Yang Fan could only invite Yi Zhuo in. Yi Zhuo was bald and wore a kasaya, standing out from the crowd. After he sat down, he drank the wine, ate the meat, and was completely at ease. Everyone felt that he was even more out of the ordinary.
The wedding banquet went on for another hour before the host's voice rang out again, "Protector of the State, White Horse Temple's abbot, Master Huaiyi ~!"
Yang Fan and the others went out to welcome Xue Huaiyi once again. They saw Xue Huaiyi dressed in a red kasaya, his bald head gleaming under the light. He was accompanied by Hongyi, Hongliu, and the others on his left and right. Behind them stood four burly monks who used wooden crosses and ropes to carry a golden fruit tree. The fruit tree seemed to have small red lanterns shining on it.
As soon as Xue Huaiyi saw Yang Fan, he laughed and said, "Good disciple, I was drunk and forgot that today is your big day. Luckily your Sixth Senior Brother reminded me. Haha, looking at you now, you really do look like a bridegroom. Congratulations, congratulations!"
Yang Fan quickly went forward to greet, "Disciple Yang Fan greets Master!"
Wu Youyi and Qiu Shenji also came forward, "Greetings Master Xue!"
Xue Huaiyi waved his hand, "No need to greet me, no need to greet me. The world is big, but the groom is the biggest today. I'm also a guest, no need to be so polite. Come, come, let's go in and drink. I came a bit late, did you guys finish all the good wine? "
Yang Fan smiled, "Since Master is here, we must drink until we're drunk. Don't worry, Master, I'll have enough! "
"Alright! As long as there is good wine, I can be at ease! " Xue Huaiyi caressed his belly and casually said, "Seventeen, today is your big day. As a monk, I don't have a gift for you. I'll just give you a hundred children tree. Hehe, a hundred children and a thousand grandchildren, it's a blessing."
When Xiao Man heard this, her little face couldn't help but frown again. She thought to herself, Really. Why are all men like this? Don't tell me that women get married just to give birth to a nest of children for you men? "
Hong One said, "Seventeen, the fruit tree that Master gave you is not an ordinary one. The trunk of the tree is made of gold, the leaves are made of green jade, and the fruit is made of fire jade. There are a hundred fire jades in total, and each one is worth a thousand gold. This fruit tree is priceless!"
Hong Liu immediately followed up, "The branches of this treasured tree cost a total of one hundred and forty-three catties of gold. However, this isn't much. Gold is valuable, but jade is invaluable. The leaves on the tree are all carved from the best quality jade, and each piece is …"
Before he could finish, Xue Huaiyi glared at them and scolded with a smile, "It's just a gift that Master casually took from the treasury. What are you showing off for? Go away!" Even though he said this, his face showed a smug expression.
Xue Huai Yi had rushed over to attend the wedding banquet today. Originally, he had prepared a congratulatory gift. Although it was expensive, it was nothing more than some gold cakes and jade pendants. But when he arrived at the Yang Mansion, he happened to hear the guests who were eating outside making a fuss about the gift that Princess Taiping had just sent over. Xue Huai Yi's face fell when he heard it.
He had always liked to be in the limelight. Other than Wu Zetian, he didn't dare to compete with anyone else. He would only be satisfied if he was number one in front of anyone else. How could he let Princess Taiping beat him? He immediately left without saying a word, vowing to find a gift that could beat Princess Taiping.
Don't be fooled by what he said about casually taking a congratulatory gift. In fact, this gorgeous and luxurious Golden Fruit Tree was also one of a kind among his treasures. In order for someone to give him this treasure, he had to promise them something. Now, he had to reluctantly part with this treasure and was about to borrow the mouths of his two trusted disciples to let the ignorant guests know about it.
Seeing the envious expressions of the guests, Xue Huaiyi was extremely proud. Yang Fan knew him well, and after hearing this, he knew why he had come and left. Facing such a heavy gift, Yang Fan couldn't help but decline. Then, he personally poured a cup of wine and asked the bride to present it to his Master.
Xue Huaiyi took the wedding wine and drank it in one gulp. He laughed and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. I will drink with the two Great Generals!"
At this time, the master of ceremonies shouted again at the door, "The arrival of King Liang …"
When Yang Fan heard this, he had to go out with Xiao Man to welcome him. Qiu Shenji and Wu Youyi excused themselves to Xue Huaiyi and went out together. Only Xue Huaiyi sat still. His disciples saw that their Master did not move, so they also sat there and ignored him.
Wu Sansi was a prince, so in terms of status, he was the most respected. Even the host and the guests went out to welcome him, like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon. Wu Sansi gave a pair of jade mandarin ducks as a gift. Compared to the gift sent by King Wei, Wu Chengsi, it was naturally more valuable. However, compared to the treasures sent by Princess Taiping and Xue Huaiyi, it did not cause a stir.
Wu Sansi looked arrogant and swaggered into the hall. When he entered the hall, he saw that there were still guests sitting there and not moving. He showed a look of displeasure.
Xue Huaiyi grabbed the wine jar with one hand and pointed at him while laughing, "Sansi, you are so late. You should drink three cups as punishment!"
Wu Sansi took a closer look, and his puffed out chest deflated with a 'puchi' sound. He hurriedly tiptoed over and greeted with a face full of smiles. "Aiya, Master Xue, so you're here too!"
Xue Huaiyi burped and said, "Nonsense! The one getting married today is my disciple. If I am not here, where should I go? "
Wu Sansi said, "Yes, yes, yes. Sansi was muddle-headed. How could I have forgotten about this? You should drink as punishment, you should drink as punishment! " He quickly placed three cups and filled them with wine. He then sat beside Xue Huaiyi with a smile and poured a cup for him, saying, "Master Xue, please!"
Qiu Shenji saw that Wu Sansi was trying his best to curry favor with Xue Huaiyi and couldn't help but sneer, "Master Xue has already agreed to speak for King Wei. The Hundred Seeds Tree that he gave to Yang Fan was the treasure that King Wei gave him to guard his house. King Wei is about to become the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, yet you are in such a hurry to hug him. Are you still in time? "
Yang Fan couldn't help but smile when he saw that King Liang had a mission as well. He turned to Xiaoman and said, "Let's go. Let's go pay our respects to the villagers in the workshop. It's getting late, so they'll be leaving soon."
"Okay!"
Xiaoman agreed meekly and followed Yang Fan out. Yang Fan took two steps and suddenly felt that Xiaoman's expression was very unusual. He couldn't help but feel a strange feeling.
…
The wedding banquet finally ended.
At first, Maqiao, Gao Ying, and Lan Yiqing wanted to make a scene in the bridal chamber. However, there were too many guests, and Yang Fan and Xiaoman were busy, it was almost midnight by the time they sent the guests away. If they made a scene in the bridal chamber, Yang Fan's wedding night would probably be ruined.
Ma Qiao's mother and Mian 'er were exhorting Ma Qiao not to spoil other people's wedding night. Thinking that it was reasonable, they had no choice but to let go of this opportunity. They also bid farewell to Yang Fan one by one, and then dispersed. After all the guests had left, Yang Fan and Butchie felt like they had just fought a battle. Suddenly, they felt their backs ache.
Third sister and Taomei walked over unsteadily. Their faces were drenched in sweat. They said to Yang Fan weakly, "Ah Lang, wife, please rest early. This servant will clean up the guest hall. "
The cook, Lin Xiwen, said listlessly, "Ah Lang, this lowly one … has been busy since the afternoon. I haven't eaten anything yet. This lowly one should eat something first and then help them clean the guest hall."
Yang Fan didn't know what to do. He couldn't help but look at Xiaoman. Xiaoman coughed and said, "You've all worked hard for the whole day. Don't be in a hurry to clean the hall. Quickly eat something and rest early. Tomorrow morning, I will send a few people to help clean the hall. "
When they heard this, they felt like they had been pardoned and repeatedly thanked her. Xiao Man smiled and said, "Take these things and buy a few new sets of clothes. Alright, everyone has worked hard today. Go and get some rest. "
"Thank you, wife! Thank you!"
When the things were in their hands, they were a few golden beans. Taomei, Third sister, and the others were overjoyed and repeatedly thanked her. Xiaoman also saw that they were really working hard. When she returned to the new room to fix her makeup and change clothes, she suddenly had an idea. She fished out a few golden beans from under the quilt, which came in handy at this time.
Yang Fan looked at Xiaoman in amazement. She was dignified, calm, and confident. She really had the air of a housewife. Could marriage make people mature all of a sudden? Was this still the unruly and playful little girl?
Third sister and the others were really tired. Their heels hurt from standing. They didn't feel it before, but now that they had rested, they really couldn't hold on for a moment. Since the mistress had given the order, they quickly retreated. Only Chen Shou was a step slower. After the three people left, he said to Yang Fan, "Ah Lang, Zhao Yu didn't come for some reason and asked this old servant to deliver this congratulatory gift."
Because Xiaoman was present, Chen Shou didn't say much. When Yang Fan heard that it was Zhao Yu, he naturally understood that it was actually a wedding gift from Shen Mu. When he received it, it was a light kraft paper bag. Chen Shou smiled and bowed to the bride and groom before retreating.
When the song ended, only Yang Fan and Xiaoman were left in the guest hall. When Xiaoman saw the four people retreating, her shoulders also collapsed. She let out a long sigh of relief. To tell the truth, she was also very tired. She had finally endured this day.
Xiaoman turned slightly and suddenly saw that Yang Fan was looking at her. She couldn't help but feel nervous again. No, this day didn't seem to have passed yet. It seemed that she, the bride, hadn't fulfilled all the responsibilities of a bride. What should she do next …
Images of men and women having intercourse flashed through Xiaoman's mind. The scene was so beautiful that it made her eyes and ears burn. It was the "36 Plain Ladies in the Palace" that was explained to her by the two old female officials sent by the palace. Xiaoman's brain, which had already become a ball of paste from exhaustion, suddenly sobered up as if she had been blessed. "Right, next should be … the bridal chamber? The bridal chamber!!! "
