Chen Shuda said: "My lord, although Princess Gesang did not have her parents and elder brothers present, her godfather Chen Chu is in Chang'an. If so, Chen Chu must attend today's wedding..."
Cheng Yaojin laughed: "Yes, yes, Master Changsun, don't be unhappy, Chen Chu is your in-law, don't you think it's a good thing?"
Changsun Wuji: "..."
Wang Gui tugged at Changsun Wuji's sleeve, and whispered persuasion: "Master Changsun, there are so many people watching now, this marriage was bestowed by His Majesty, so nothing can go wrong. Besides, what Master Chen said makes sense. After all, Princess Gesang is also a princess of Tubo. Her marriage is such a big event, and even her relatives are not present. She is afraid that she will be unhappy, and it will affect their respect as guests in the future. Since Chen Chu is here, let him take a seat. .”
"it is good……"
Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and agreed blankly.
Wang Gui shouted: "Please invite the foster father of the bride, Chen Chu, to sit down!"
Chen Chu was dragged by Chen Shuda and Cheng Yaojin to sit on a chair.
The wedding goes on.
Wang Gui shouted loudly: "Second worship to the high hall."
Changsun Chong took Princess Gesang by the hand, first kowtowed to Changsun Wuji and Mrs. Zhangsun, then turned to look at Chen Chu.
Chang Sun Chong's expression changed immediately.
Chen Chu is my enemy!
You want me to kneel down to him?
impossible!
Pooh!
He hated Chen Chu to death.
Princess Gesang had already knelt down, and when she turned her head to see Zhang Sun Chong standing on the spot like a log, she was immediately unhappy, stood up, and kicked Chang Sun Chong's knee suddenly, plop, Chang Sun Chong knelt very quickly, and then Princess Gesang held her head down and kowtowed to Chen Chu.
Then there is the worship of husband and wife.
Before Wang Gui could say the words "Send to the bridal chamber", Chen Chu stood up and shouted, "Wait a minute."
Ok?
Wang Gui was taken aback.
Everyone was stunned.
What else does Chen Chu want to do?
Changsun Wuji stared at Chen Chu viciously: "Boy, you've already made trouble enough today, you, what do you want to do?"
Chen Chu said with a smile: "Be safe and don't be impatient. Since he is Gesang's adoptive father, I think this wedding is not complete, and there should be more procedures."
As he spoke, he ignored the stunned crowd, stepped forward, separated Chang Sun Chong's and Gesang's hands, and then took Gesang's hand.
Chen Chu looked solemnly, looked at Chang Sun Chong, then at Gesang, finally fixed his gaze on Chang Sun Chong's face, and asked seriously: "Chang Sun Chong, let me ask you, are you willing to marry Gesang? Whether she will be rich or poor in the future, or whether she will be healthy or ill in the future, will you be with her forever?"
Chen Chu's voice was loud and solemn, not profane.
Chang Sun Chong nodded subconsciously: "I am willing!"
Chen Chu looked at Gesang again and asked: "Gesang, let me ask you, are you willing to marry Changsun Chong? No matter whether he is rich or poor in the future, or whether he is healthy or unwell in the future, you are willing to be with her forever together?"
Gesang nodded movedly: "I am willing."
Chen Chu took the hands of Changsun Chong and Gesang, raised them high, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, in the name of Yuelao, I announce that the bride and groom are married."
Wow!
The crowd was stunned.
Everyone has never seen this kind of wedding ceremony, but they find it inexplicably novel and solemn.
Standing next to Wang Gui, Chen Shuda saw Wang Gui writing and drawing on a piece of paper with a pencil, so he asked, "Master Wang, what are you doing?"
Wang Gui said without looking back: "Master Chen, I am recording Chen Chu's words, and I will officiate the wedding for someone in the future, so I will be like him..."
People around: "..."
……
Chapter 239 The mansion is completed
After Chen Chu finished all these and Wang Gui finished recording, he asked, "Can we send the new couple into the bridal chamber now?"
Chen Chu thought for a while, "There is still a process of changing your mouth, Gesang, you have married into the Sikong Mansion now, and the two in front of you will be your parents in the future. Changsun Chong, Gesang married you, her parents, That is, your parents, her godfather, and your godfather..."
Changsun Chong's expression changed: "You...you want me to call you godfather?"
Chen Chu said with a smile, "Good boy."
Changsun Chong was about to run away, but seeing Wang Gui grab him, Wang Gui turned his head and said, "Chen Chu, don't be foolish, even if you are called godfather, it is time to go back. Today is not the time, come here, send the newcomer in." The bridal chamber..."
The juniors who had been prepared for a long time rushed forward, pushing Changsun Chong and Gesang out of the main hall and heading for the bridal chamber.
Next came the much-anticipated banquet.
For this wedding, Changsun Wuji also spent a lot of money, spending a lot of money, and invited a bunch of chefs from Chang'an Da Da Da Da Restaurant to cook special dishes.
Good wine and good food served.
Everyone ate with great joy.
As the foster father of the bride, Chen Chu was arranged to sit at the table with the eldest grandson Wuji.
Chen Chu looked at Changsun Wuji with a smile, and said, "Master Changsun, from today onwards, we are also a family. You are older than me, how about I call you Brother Changsun?"
"Humph!"
Changsun Wuji flicked his sleeves, glared at Chen Chu, and said in a low voice: "Chen Chu, are you disgusting this old man on purpose? You know that you are about the same age as Chong'er, but you let Princess Gesang recognize you as a foster father. You are truly tormented."
Chen Chu asked, "You hate me very much?"
"That's right!"
Chen Chu shook his head: "You shouldn't hate me. You should be very clear about your son's previous virtues. If it weren't for me, how could he go to the Western Regions with Xue Rengui? If he didn't go to the Western Regions, how would he get the title? I, Chen Chu, He single-handedly planned Xue Rengui and the others, but the emperor said that I am young and don't give me a title for the time being, but the eldest grandson rushed to Tubo, do you really think he contributed a lot?"
Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said, "This old man is not the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong. At first, this old man hated you because the princess Chong'er couldn't marry had a private life with you. Later, Chong'er followed you in a daze. Xue Rengui went to the Western Regions, I hated you even more, but when Chonger returned safely and got great credit, the old man didn’t hate you anymore, and thanked you, but you absolutely shouldn’t, you shouldn’t be Princess Gesang Godfather, you still dare to call this old man brother and brother, it is simply unreasonable."
Chen Chu chuckled: "My lord grandson, you are wrong. There are too many people who call me brothers and sisters. My elder brother Niu Jinda, my second brother Qin Qiong, my third brother Li Jing, and my fourth brother Cheng Yaojin, which one is not a famous man? What, with Do you still feel uncomfortable calling yourself a brother?"
Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care what you do to others, but with this old man, I can't."
Chen Chu raised the wine bottle, drank it down, smiled, waved his hand and said, "Master Changsun, one day, you will be grateful to me."
After finishing speaking, Chen Chu stood up, got out of the hall in a blink of an eye, and quickly disappeared into Duke Qi's mansion.
Chen Chu happened to meet Li Chengqian and Li Zhi at the gate of Duke Qi's mansion.
Chen Chuxiao asked, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
Li Chengqian said: "Today is the grand wedding day of my eldest grandson's cousin. My father and mother are here. As the crown prince, I should come too."
Chen Chu thought to himself, today's Duke of Qi's mansion is really full of splendor.
Whether it is the second generation of officials or the second generation of riches in Chang'an City, there will never be more than five Empress Changsun and Emperor Li Er who can attend together.
Li Zhi next to him said: "I just followed the prince brother to see if there is any delicious food, but unfortunately, it is not fun at all, not as delicious as your cooking."
Chen Chu was noncommittal.
As a man who has mastered the recipes of various spices, he has the right to say to all the cooks in Datang: I am not targeting anyone, I mean, everyone here is rubbish.
Li Chengqian looked at Chen Chu and asked curiously: "Chen Chu, this banquet has just started, are you leaving now?"
Chen Chu waved his hands and walked out, and said as he walked: "My mansion near Chunming Gate is completed today, and I have to go and check it myself."
Li Chengqian was surprised: "Your super luxurious mansion has been completed?"
"Yes."
Chen Chu had already gotten into the carriage.
Li Chengqian and Li Zhi looked at each other, and rushed to the carriage at the same time.
"Chen Chu, wait for me, I'm going to take a look..."
"And me, I'm full this time."
The two rushed into the carriage.
Chen Chu was going to build a mansion covering an area of [-] mu, and the news had already spread.
Everyone in the world thought that this mansion would take ten or twenty years to build.
Who would have thought that it has only been more than half a year, and it has already been completed.
Both Li Chengqian and Li Zhi were very curious.
The three of them rode in a carriage, went straight across the street, and headed towards Chunming Gate.
……
Near Chunming Gate.
It is already a sea of people.
It turned out that early this morning, all the tall enclosures around Chen Chu's mansion were demolished, revealing the face of the new mansion. When the common people looked at it, they saw a gate on the street diagonally opposite Chunming Gate. The holy stone transported from outside the Baiyun Temple was extremely towering and sacred. When people learned that the five hundred acres of land built by Chen Chu occupied the entire vicinity of Chunming Gate, they naturally couldn't hold back their curiosity and ran away one after another. Come and watch.
The situation inside cannot be seen from the outside, because except for the gate, all other places are surrounded by concrete fences. The fence is only half the height of a person, and a half-grown child can climb over it, but there are guards around at any time. They have no guts to go in.
The carriage stopped at the gate.
Chen Chu jumped out of the carriage first.
Next to the boulder, Yuan Tiangang stood there with a group of Taoist priests, who came to congratulate Chen Chu.
The outward side of the boulder was covered with a huge piece of red silk, and writing on the boulder could be vaguely seen.
The rest are Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chubi and others.
Except for the people watching, there were a little few people present, but Chen Chu didn't care.
Even the crown prince and King Jin have come, which is enough face.
He stepped forward and asked, "A Niu, are the characters carved?"
Cheng Chumo pointed to the silk on the boulder, and said: "Master Yuan said that today is an auspicious day, this mansion was built by you, and you will be the one to uncover it."
Chen Chu nodded, walked a few steps forward, reached out and grabbed the rope under the silk, and was about to pull the silk away.
But I heard several calling voices in the distance: "Fifth brother, wait a moment."
"Fifth brother stop!"
Chen Chu turned his head and saw a few horses galloping towards him.
Immediately, they were Li Jing, Niu Jinda, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yaojin.
Several people jumped off the horse, Li Jing said out of breath: "Fifth Brother, I heard that your mansion was completed today, why didn't you tell me to wait?"
Chen Chu smiled and explained: "This is a small mansion, not worth mentioning."
Qin Qiong was a little speechless and said: "Your mansion covers an area of [-] mu. If this mansion is not worth mentioning, there will be no mansion worth mentioning in the world."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed.
……
Chapter 240 Nanshan Mansion
Chen Chu looked at the big brothers, and asked with a smile: "Aren't you worried that the eldest grandson will secretly hate you when you suddenly leave the Duke of Qi's mansion?"
Niu Jinda said disdainfully: "Changsun Chong's marriage is not that of Changsun Wuji's. I'll be able to go there later, and I've already given my eldest grandson enough face. Now, what could be more satisfying than the completion of your mansion? Tell me, what good things are you going to entertain us with today?"
Chen Chu: "..."
The elder brothers were joking, but the way they did it moved Chen Chu very much.
Qin Qiong and the others left the banquet in Duke Qi's mansion and came here without saying hello. I am afraid that Changsun Wuji has already known about it. With Changsun Wuji's temper, he must have recorded this matter.A few people knew the result, but they still came to support Chen Chu, all because of the word loyalty.
He waved his hand: "There are no good things, but there are two jars of good wine. Today, come to my new mansion. If you don't get drunk, you won't return."
"it is good!"
