Among the many sons and daughters of Liu Guogong's mansion, less than ten people are still in Beijing. Others are either working abroad, traveling abroad, or doing business. There are happy events at home, most of them come back in time, and others can only send makeup and blessings in advance.

But this time, for Liu Fang's wedding, all the brothers and sisters came back. It was the first time they had gathered together since they got married, which was very rare.

However, because of the rules set by the government, everyone still lives in their own homes, not all of them live in the government.

Just came to help early in the morning, and the other in-laws did the same.

Mrs. Zhenguo also came early, but still not as early as Princess An. So when the eldest sister An Su came over, she happened to see Fifth Sister sitting with Erlang's legs crossed, knocking with melon seeds in her hands, listening to Liu Fang's words.

Anzu: …(ー`ー)

Ansu's forehead twitched slightly, she really didn't know what to say about this fifth sister.

Outside, she looks like a human being. When she arrives at her home, she really can't sit or stand, and she can't find what a princess should look like.

So what the outside world said "Prince An is virtuous and elegant, with both political integrity and talent" is really too blind!

It was also the fifth sister who was too successful in disguise.

An Fei was taken aback when she saw the eldest sister coming, and quickly sat down, upright, as if the scene just now was her illusion.

Ansu tapped her hand and said, "The shell of the melon seeds is put away, don't let anyone see it for a while."

"Yes, eldest sister."

An Fei was obedient, and handled the melon seed shells so that no one could see them - directly stuffed them into the flowerpots in the house and covered them with flowers and leaves. After wiping her hands dry, tidying up her grooming clothes, she returned to Liu Fang and sat upright, with an elegant and decent smile on her face, like a noble princess.

Ansu nodded in satisfaction, turned her head and said to Liu Fang, "Congratulations, little sister, I'm happy today. My sister's makeup list has been given to Shumo. You can look at it later. If you don't like it, go back and tell my sister, and my sister will give it to you. Find."

Liu Fang glanced at Fifth Sister An Fei, held back her laughter, and said to An Su respectfully and solemnly, "Okay, Eldest Sister. Thank you Eldest Sister."

Even in front of her mother, the fifth sister was disobedient, but it was strange that she was afraid of the eldest sister and the ninth brother.

In Liu Fang's opinion, the eldest sister, An Su, is gentle and dignified. Although she is more serious, her temper is very gentle.

When she gets too angry, let alone do anything to her younger siblings, that's totally impossible, okay?

Ninth brother An Jin (jin, three voices) is also a honest and gentle person, but it is very strange that whether it is the fifth sister An Fei, the seventeenth sister An He, or the younger brother An Qing, they are especially afraid of the ninth brother.

Anyway, Liu Fang felt that it was quite inexplicable. When he was a child, he asked the two sisters and brother Anqing.

I still remember what the fifth sister said, "Xiao Anfang, you are still young, just remember not to offend the ninth brother."

As for Sister Seventeen, she said to Liu Fang in surprise, "Don't you think Brother Nine is scary?"

Liu Fang shook her head, An He looked at her without words, "Ignorance people are really happy..."

Liu Fang: …╮(︶﹏︶)╭.

The little brother smiled meaningfully at Liu Fang, but did not answer.

No matter what, there is the eldest sister An Su in the family, the ninth brother An Jin is in charge, and the temperament of the brothers and sisters who are more out of touch has been cleaned up clearly and honestly.

At least, in the eyes of outsiders, this is the case: the son of Liu Guogong's mansion, the girls are all very good!

...

The eldest sister, An Su, was sitting in the room, and An Fei, the princess, had to be honest, let alone others?

Therefore, the sisters who came to add makeup one after another all smiled gracefully and dignifiedly, talked and chatted with Liu Fang, and had a happy room.

As for other relatives and friends who came to add makeup, seeing that Princess An and the prince and wife of the Prince of the State were also here, they would not dare to be presumptuous.

What's more, Liu Guogong has no siblings or relatives, that is, some sons and daughters, in-laws, some old friends who have been with him for many years, etc.

The most prominent ones are probably the Prince Cheng's Mansion, the Prince's Mansion, and the Duke's Mansion of Zhenguo.

Prince An's Mansion, not to mention the Duke's Mansion of Zhenguo, Prince Cheng's Mansion is Mrs. Liu Guogong's natal family, she is still alive, her brother brought her nephews and nieces-in-law over to congratulate her, don't you dare not give it to her? Face is not good?

Not to mention, the seventh girl, An Mo, is still married to her nephew, the third lady of the Cheng Prince's Mansion.

Therefore, everyone was very cheering, and the scene was very lively.

It's just that for Yang An, welcoming a relative today is not that simple.

...

Yang An woke up early this morning. Although there were no elders in the mansion, he still invited his mentor to help him manage it.

His mentor was actually the next-door neighbor's family, and it just so happened that Fang Cheng lived opposite him—it was only after the lake tour that the two discovered that they were still neighbors.

But for Yang An

, and that's all, he doesn't plan to associate with Fang Cheng.

Yang An's mentor was actually an old Hanlin who spent his whole life cultivating books in the Hanlin Academy.

When Yang An was young, he lost his mother and then his father. He was the only nine-year-old child left with a younger sister who had just been born. There were still a group of people staring at his property. If it weren't for this mentor, even if Yang An was smart, even if he had three or two loyal servants, he would not have been able to keep his family's ancestral home and part of his property, and still be able to live peacefully with his sister and grow up to this day.

Therefore, Yang An's mentor can be regarded as his other "father", and has always protected their brother and sister.

Now that he is getting married, of course he has to ask his mentor to handle it. If not, it would be too polite to see the outside world, but it would hurt the old man's heart.

Although the marriage was managed with the help of the mentor's family, Yang An still participated in it personally, counting the days under anxiety and tension every day, hoping to marry the wife who was thinking about it day and night sooner.

Younger sister Yang Hui also asks her elder brother every day: "Brother, when will you marry your sister-in-law and come home?"

It made Yang An feel more anxious every time he listened to it: he thought so too (ㄒoㄒ).

But when it really came to this day, Yang An realized that he was even more nervous.

He hadn't slept at all the night before, and he didn't know what to think in his mind, and piles of thoughts kept pouring out, making him unable to suppress it no matter how hard he tried.

So, before dawn, Yang An got up to bathe and change clothes, and then had breakfast early, and when the teacher came, he hurriedly began to prepare for his relatives, such as worshipping ancestors.

It was almost time for the guests to arrive, and the hour was almost here, Yang An brought a group of friends, as well as the strong men hired to carry the dowry and dressed in uniform, to greet the relatives.

He rode a tall horse himself, the matchmaker in front, the band opened the way, beat gongs and drums, scattered happy money, and walked all the way to Liu Guogong's mansion in high spirits.

Along the way, the soldiers guarding the city gates have already been prepared. Like this wedding across the imperial city and the inner city, these guards have also experienced a lot and have been trained.

Therefore, when the welcoming team passed through the two city gates, the speed was very fast, and it did not delay for a long time.

And Yang An naturally reciprocated, giving a red envelope as a thank you gift.

The soldiers guarding smiled rarely, congratulated him, and accepted the red envelope very safely.

This is also a customary rule.

After all, Kyoto is very big. It is far enough from the outer city to the imperial city.

It took an hour or two to walk, not to mention that the wedding was held today, and there were many people along the way to watch the fun.

The yamen of the Kyoto government have been dispatched to maintain law and order. These self-owned Liu Guogong's government will take care of them afterwards, and Yang An does not need to worry about it.

It was only said that the welcoming team was lively and bustling all the way, and when they arrived at Huangcheng Middle Street, Yang An saw a group of men riding horses waiting for him from a distance.

Yang An's heart skipped a beat, remembering the words that his fiancee sent Shu Mo to say two days ago: "My brothers in my family will all return to Beijing this time, and gather together to marry me. You should prepare early."

At this time, Yang An looked at the group of men on horses who were getting closer, and then he really understood what it means to have a large number of people!

What does it feel like to have twenty-two brothers riding horses to block the road together?

Yang An tells you, there are only two words: terrible!

The twenty-two masters led by Liu Angeng, the son of Liu Guogong's mansion, and Liu Anjin, the ninth master, each rode their horses, and they were divided into five teams.

The first one is the prince Liu Angeng, and the ninth master Liu Anjin. The former has a serious face, and the latter has a smile on his lips. Although one is in his thirties and the other is in his twenties, they are evenly matched.

The first row behind them is the second master Liu Anyu (yu), the third master An Yong, the fourth master An Du, and the fifth master An Bi.

In the second row behind the four are the sixth master An Guang, the seventh master An Kuo, the eighth master Anlu, and the tenth master An Pang.

In the third row are the eleventh master An Ting, the twelfth master An Tang, the thirteenth master An Ying, and the fourteenth master An Nuo (xiao).

In the fourth row are the fifteenth master Ansha (sha), the sixteenth master Anku, the seventeenth master An Lin (lin, two tones), and the eighteenth master Ankang.

In the last row are the Nineteenth Master An Lian, the Twenty Master An Xu, the twenty-one Master An Zhuang, and the twenty-two Master An Qing.

Among them, the eleventh master, An Ting, the eighteenth master, Ankang, and the twenty-second master, Anqing, are all brothers from the same mother as Liu Fang. The son-in-law.

As for An Fei and An He, the ninth master, An Jin, was actually created by Liu Yiniang.

Among them, the seventeenth master An Lin and he are brothers of the same mother, and the difference between the brothers is six years old. They also have three sisters from the same mother, namely the seventh girl An Mo, the fourteenth girl An Li, and the seventeenth girl An He.

Therefore, An He was deeply afraid of his own ninth brother, who was a shadow cast by him since childhood.

And now, Yang An, the young aunt, is about to face the "cordial greetings" from so many uncles.

...

The people around were very excited to see such a spectacular scene: it is too rare

! Which married daughter can dispatch so many beautiful men with different styles? ! There is only such a family as Liu Guogong's mansion!

So, it's not a lie that Liu Guogong's mansion is full of beautiful women, just look at the twenty-two men of the imperial mansion who are riding horses. Not false!

As the welcoming team approached slowly, Yang An had to bite the bullet even if he was uneasy.

The prince, An Geng, was still expressionless, but the ninth master, An Jin, was very kind. When Yang An slowly stepped forward on horseback, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Brother-in-law, don't be nervous. We have a lot of people in our family, so we should come out early and take care of the right things. Everything is done, and my brother-in-law can go back to the church in time for the auspicious time."

Yang An Xin smiled bitterly, but she didn't dare to show the slightest bit on her face, she just smiled and bowed her hands, "Thank you brother for your advice."

Jiuye An Jin smiled and said, "I'm much older than you, if I make a move, I will bully the younger. As a dignified son, it's not easy to embarrass you.

Well, let's be nice.

Just let the twenty-first brother and the twenty-second brother compete with you on a piecemeal basis, until the point is reached, how about it? "

What else can Yang An do? Just promise.

Of course, although it is a battle of swords and arms, it is impossible to fight with a knife and a gun. The items of the competition are very elegant: throwing pots and comparing poems.

It's normal to be stopped to welcome relatives, but no one will really embarrass the bridegroom, and it's not that they want to regret the marriage, and it's just a matter of making trouble peacefully.
