Chapter 303 Buying a House and Getting Married (Part 2)

The 27th day is coming in a blink of an eye, and it is better to marry.

Ning Xiu didn’t believe in these things at first, but since he traveled through time, how could he explain such things as traveled through time?

The wedding banquet was held in Qi's Mansion, which is nothing.

After all, Ning Xiu had just bought a house and could barely live in it, but it was a bit reluctant to hold a grand wedding banquet.

Qi Jiguang was very popular in the court, so this wedding banquet was filled with guests.

Ning Xiu looked around and saw that the guests who came to the banquet were all Beijing officials of the fifth rank or above, and this style was really big.

As the absolute protagonist of the wedding banquet, Ning Xiu naturally would not steal the limelight and would come forward from time to time to bow to the guests.

Earlier, under the witness of Qi Jiguang and Wang Yuejiao, he had worshipped Tiandi and officially became a husband and wife with Ling'er, and now he is just completing the remaining procedures.

Qi Jiguang was obviously in a good mood. Compared to his sons, his favorite was his little daughter. His daughter's marriage became his most concerned thing.

Now that his daughter is married to a young talent like Ning Xiu, he can feel relieved.

But when my father married his daughter, he felt a little disappointed. Qi Jiguang only felt empty in his heart. Although he was still smiling, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Old Mount Tai is here, my son-in-law wishes you a cup!"

Ning Xiu walked to Qi Jiguang at some point, held up his wine glass and said with a smile.

Qi Jiguang nodded slightly, raised his glass and drank it all.

"The Chief Secretary, Mr. Zhang is here!"

As the door official chanted, everyone's eyes looked towards the Chuhuamen.

Everyone in the court knew that Qi Jiguang and Zhang Juzheng were political allies.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng would come on the day of Qi Jiguang's daughter's wedding banquet. It was just that he came earlier and later.

Facts have proved that Zhang Juzheng came sooner or later.

If he came too early, it would not be in line with his identity as the chief minister of the dynasty.

If he came too late, he would be disrespectful to Qi Jiguang.

Ning Xiu also squinted his eyes slightly and stared at the hanging flower door.

In the blink of an eye, a middle-aged man in a big red python robe walked in. Beside him was a young man in a moon-white Confucian shirt.

This middle-aged man is naturally Zhang Juzheng, and the young man is Zhang Juzheng's third son Zhang Maoxiu.

Everyone stood up to greet each other, with respect on their faces.

Regardless of what they think of this strong chief supervisor in their hearts, they should always have respect on their face.

"Yuan Jing, I'm late!"

Zhang Juzheng came to Qi Jiguang, stroked his chin and said with a smile.

"Haha, you can come here just to give me face. Please come in and please."

Qi Jiguang was very proud. The status of the Ming general was much lower than that of the civil servants, but he was able to obtain the title of Prince Shaobao. This was not only because he made unparalleled achievements in suppressing the Japanese stricken in the southeast, but also because he followed the right person.

This person is Zhang Juzheng.

There are people in the court who are easy to be officials, especially for military generals.

With Zhang Juzheng as his ally, Qi Jiguang was not afraid of slandering those censors and could let go of his hands and feet.

"I have met the old master in my late life."

Ning Xiu also bowed to Zhang Juzheng.

"I said that I have become the master of the moon."

When he talked about this, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but feel proud.

He originally recommended Ning Xiu to Qi Jiguang as his son-in-law. If he hadn't mentioned it, how could Ning Xiu have formed such a marriage with the Qi family?

"Uncle, I have to thank you very much. This son-in-law is so good!"

Qi Jiguang did not hide his joy and said with a laugh.

"Go to the seat quickly."

Qi Jiguang ordered people to lead Zhang Juzheng to the top, and this position was always empty for Zhang Juzheng to stay. Everyone knew this, and now they felt relieved to see Zhang Juzheng sitting down.

"I'm going to Liaodong after I finish this wedding banquet."

Qi Jiguang suddenly felt emotion.

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "Liaodong is vast and there are many mixed Hus, which is not easier to manage than Ji Town. Yuan Jing is very busy."

Although his words were half-joking, they were not without reason.

Although Jizhen is an important town on the nine borders, the main defense is the Tatars.

Nowadays, the Tatars are invading the border less and less, and Ji Town is facing much less pressure.

But Liaodong is different. Since ancient times, it has been a place where mixed Hu people live, and the situation is much more complicated.

Even Li Chengliang, a famous general who was born and raised in Liaodong, could only maintain balance.

Although Qi Jiguang was a rare famous general, he was not as familiar with Liaodong as Li Chengliang.

This time, there is naturally a long way to go to Liaodong.

Ning Xiu really wanted to remind Lao Taishan and ask him to pay attention to the Jurchens, especially the Jianzhou Jurchens.

This fishing and hunting tribe will rise strongly in decades and threaten the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

But how did he speak?

You still have to find a suitable time. The wedding banquet is obviously not a suitable occasion.

"Uncle, we have fewer opportunities to get together in Liaodong."

Qi Jiguang couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

People in the world think he is just a lackey under Zhang Juzheng's door, but they don't know that he and Zhang Juzheng are brothers who appreciate each other.

This kind of relationship between brothers and friends is something that ordinary people cannot understand.

Zhang Juzheng drank a glass of wine but stopped talking.

After a while, Zhang Juzheng spoke again and said something to encourage the newcomer. Ning Xiu also respectfully toasted Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Maoxiu kept frowning, obviously because he felt that his father had drunk too much today.

The doctor once told my father to drink less, as drinking too much will hurt his body.

He really wanted to persuade his father to drink less.

But in such an occasion, how can you say it?

Isn’t that slap my father in the face? That’s disobedience and I can’t do it.

In desperation, Zhang Maoxiu had no choice but to wish his father less, and he also winked at Ning Xiu from time to time, telling him not to toast again.

Ning Xiu naturally understood it and smiled apologetically at Zhang Maoxiu.

No matter what, the protagonist of the wedding banquet was Ning Xiu, and it was just toasted Zhang Juzheng with a few glasses of wine. Next, Ning Xiu paid tribute to the guests under the leadership of Qi Jiguang.

Most of these people have never seen them. They just listened to the introduction of Old Taishan one by one, then said a long time to admire them, and then toasted them.

Only at this moment did he realize the benefits of having a prince Shaobao be his father-in-law.

How could ordinary people come into contact with so many officials? Some people will never get this kind of connection.

And he Ning Xiu, because he was Qi Jiguang's son-in-law, had so many good relationships on the day of the wedding. Although he may not play a great role in his future career, he still had more ways.

Isn’t the end of the battle in officialdom just about connections and ways?

Whoever has a wide connection and more paths will be able to laugh to the end and hold an important position.

Even if you want to join the cabinet, apart from the unreliable order, do you have to rely on the court to recommend it?
