Mongolia Chapter 68 Wang Ping¡¯s Wedding

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    June 18th is an auspicious day for getting married. Wang Ping, the leader of the Guards, held a happy event on this day.  It is a natural thing to hold a happy event on an auspicious day, but for a person of Wang Ping's status, the time from Li Dong's decree to the official marriage was too hasty.

    Originally, Wang Ping's marriage should have been arranged a few months ago, but too many things have happened recently, such as King Anhua's rebellion, training of the navy, accompanying Li Dong to go to sea to put down pirates, etc., so Wang Ping  The marriage was postponed again and again. Li Dong meant that there happened to be nothing going on recently, so Wang Ping should seize the time to get the marriage done.

    The procedures of Nacai, Asking for Names, Naji, etc. have been completed. However, Di Yun's family only has a sick mother and a young brother. Naturally, there are no elders to preside over it. Moreover, Di Yun's family is poor.  Although Li Dong gave Di Yun three thousand taels of silver to prepare for the wedding, Wang Ping used the money to bribe the eunuchs of the War Bureau. Wang Ping himself had little savings, so in the end both parties were stretched thin in wedding preparations and were reluctant to part with it.  Buying this but reluctant to spend on that.

    When Li Dong learned about this, he slapped the desk and cursed Wang Ping, "He asked for this. I gave him three thousand taels of silver, but he gave it to others. He deserves it!"

    But after scolding him, Li Dong issued an order to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. All the expenses for Wang Ping's marriage would be paid out of the palace, and everything would be spent on the best. And that's not all. Li Dong specially bought Wang Ping a big wedding dress in the capital.  The mansion is used as a new house.

    Even so, Wang Ping meant that everything at the wedding should be kept simple. He would just set up a few banquet tables in the mansion and invite the officers of the Guards to come over and have a fun time. Several large restaurants would cover everything from tables and chairs to bowls and chopsticks, including wine and food.  Everyone is ready to serve food and pour wine. What is Wang Ping¡¯s identity?  They, the common people, usually try to curry favor, but naturally they have to be careful and attentive to such a good opportunity.

    Wang Ping thought this way, but the eunuch in charge of Wang Ping's marriage in the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to think so. Wang Ping was now the emperor's favorite general, and he also had the status of the leader and general of the Guards. He held a wedding banquet, and all the high-ranking officials in the capital were honored.  Everyone with enough status received wedding invitations.

    But on the day of the wedding banquet, none of the court ministers were present. The fact that the civil servants did not come was also the meaning of the question. After all, no one wanted to get too close to each other because of the distance between civil and military affairs. However, after all, the nobles and military generals in the court were not close to the king.  Ping is in the same spirit, but no one even sent a gift or red envelope.

    It¡¯s not hard to guess. On the noble side, it¡¯s because Wang Ping sticks to his principles and doesn¡¯t allow his disciples to join the Guards, so there¡¯s a gap between the two sides. On the general side, it¡¯s because Wang Ping has been so popular recently.  , almost overshadowed all the generals in the court, so no one wanted to praise Wang Ping at this time.

    The wedding banquet of such a high-ranking official was actually so deserted. Everyone in Wang Ping's house looked unhappy. Wang Ping's face did not have the festive expression that a groom should have. His fists were clenched. He was wondering whether others would come.  I don't mind, why don't all my brothers show up at this hour?

    The people watching outside didn¡¯t know the reason, and were also puzzled. Wasn¡¯t it said that Wang Ping was a high official in the court?  Why didn't anyone even congratulate him when he got married? They were talking and laughing while looking at the marriage inside. Most of their words were ridiculing Wang Ping. Suddenly someone shouted:

    "Look, the army is coming over therethe army is coming?!"

    The army?  !

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? From far to near, the pace is uniform, this sound is very familiar to Wang Ping, it is the Guards.

    The onlookers ran to both sides and got out of the way of the road in the middle.

    A man riding a tall horse slowly appeared at the street corner, and behind him were more than a thousand Guards in neat rows.  As soon as he got close, the man raised his hand and heard the Guards shouting in unison:

    "Congratulations, General Wang, happy wedding!"

    Wang Ping¡¯s eyes were a little moist.  .  .

    After the Guards shouted three times, another person shouted:

    "Your Majesty congratulates Wang Ping!"

    The people who were watching suddenly exclaimed. The emperor congratulated his ministers on their wedding. It was new to hear. This was really inconsistent with etiquette and was extremely awkward. However, everyone immediately realized that the emperor was here, so they knelt down like a tsunami.  Long live the Emperor!" They all thought in their hearts that it didn't matter whether others came or not. The Emperor's coming alone was enough for Wang Ping to honor him for a lifetime.

    Li Dong ignored the people kneeling on the ground, got off his horse, came to Wang Ping with a smile, pointed behind him and said, "There are 1,199 people behind you, including you, there are 1,200 people in total. It was exactly that day."  You are a Boy Scout like me when you started out, today, we are here to congratulate you!"

    "Commander" Wang Ping was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.

    Li Dong slapped Wang Ping on the shoulder"It's a big day, don't leave any cat urine, hurry up and start. Today these brothers will let you know that they will drink you till you fall down"

    Wang Ping's wedding was held in a somewhat nondescript manner, but who could care about that? As long as it was lively, more than a thousand good people crammed into Wang Ping's mansion. It was hard not to liven it up. Everything in the mansion that could hold wine was completely destroyed.  Everything was empty, everyone had one hand, and some people even used vases as wine glasses. There were definitely not enough tables, chairs, and benches, and many people even sat on the walls.

    The chef who came to help was even more busy. "The shopkeeper, there are not enough ingredients at all. Those soldiers are too good at eating. There is not even a table left."

    ¡°There¡¯s so much nonsense, go buy it if it¡¯s gone!¡±

    "Shopkeeper, I only gave you money for a few tables of food and drinks. If we pay for it ourselves, we will lose money!"

    "Loss money? You know nothing. We've made a lot of money this time. Do you know who is in it? Today's Holy Emperor!"

    ¡°Ah, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, eat the food I cook.  The cook's face suddenly turned red and his hands and feet were trembling.

    "What are you thinking about? Go quickly!" the shopkeeper roared loudly.

    On a large round table in the center of the courtyard, Li Dong, Wang Shouren, Li Xiang, Zhao Dongxu and others were sitting around. Even Wang Ping and his newlywed wife Di Yun were sitting among them with blushing faces.  We are all the closest people, so naturally there is no saying that the inner room cannot be seen from the outside.

    Li Dong smiled and looked at Wang Ping, who was blushing from drinking, coughed slightly, and then said loudly, "Today is Wang Ping's happy day. You all followed the ceremony, and I can't lag behind!" As he said this, Li Dong said:  He took out a banknote from his arms and said, "Wang Ping, from now on you will be able to live on your own. It's okay if you don't have money on hand. Here are 10,000 taels, take it."

    "Commander" Wang Ping waved his hands desperately, "This can't be done. I've already spent a lot of money on this wedding. How can I ask for your money!"

    Before Li Dong could reply, Dewey next to him laughed and interrupted, "Wang Ping, if the commander gives it to you, just take it. You have a gift of ten thousand taels. When I, Old Du, get married in the future, the commander will naturally give it to you."  You can¡¯t treat one favorably over another, don¡¯t you think so, Marshal?¡±

    "You bastards, you only care about my money Okay! Everyone here counts, whoever gets married will get money from me! Damn it, I must have owed you money in my previous life!" Li Dong laughed and cursed.

    "Thank you, Marshal!" Everyone cheered.

    Li Dong just wanted to put the money into Wang Ping's arms, but he pulled it back suddenly, looked at Wang Ping with a smile, then looked at Di Yun, tilted his head and asked, "Who is in charge of the two of you?"

    Wang Ping and Di Yun looked at each other quickly, lowered their heads with red faces, and after a while, Wang Ping said in a low and inaudible voice, "She is in charge"

    Di Yun blushed and looked sideways at Wang Ping, "No, Your Majesty, he is in charge"

    "I will give the banknote to whoever is in charge, but you two haven't reached an agreement yet, so this will be difficult" Li Dong said with a smile.

    "Hahaha" everyone burst into laughter.

    Wang Ping and Di Yun were so embarrassed that they almost buried their heads in their chests.

    Li Dong shook the banknote in his hand, and asked with a smile, "How about I give it to you after you determine who is in charge?" He was about to put the banknote into his arms.

    Wang Yunxia on the side snatched the bank note from Li Dong and stuffed it into Di Yun's hand. "Sister-in-law, give it to you. You will be the head of this family from now on! If Brother Wang dares to bully you, come to me and see if I don't fix him!" Di Yun  It didn't matter if she took the banknote or not. She was so embarrassed that she almost crawled under the table.

    Li Dong looked at Li Xiang who was giggling beside him with a half-smile, patted Li Xiang on the shoulder, and said with emotion, "It seems that from now on in your family, your words won't count!"

    Hahaha everyone laughed again. Almost everyone in the Guards knew about Li Xiang and Wang Yunxia.

    Now it was Wang Yunxia's turn to blush.

    Li Dong stood up and pressed his hands. "Everyone, be quiet. Today is Wang Ping's happy day. Everyone is welcome. Wang Ping is welcome to say a few words to everyone!" After speaking, he took the lead in applauding.

    Wang Ping raised his head, listened to the roaring applause around him, looked at Li Dong, and then at the group of brothers who depended on each other for life and death. He picked up his wife Di Yun beside him, walked to Li Dong, and threw her hand to Li Dong.  Dong knelt down.

    "Wang Ping, what are you doing?" Li Dong put away his smile and frowned, but today was Wang Ping's happy day, so he didn't get angry immediately.

    Wang Ping did not answer Li Dong, but together with Di Yun, he kowtowed to Li Dong three times. Seeing Wang Ping kowtow, the surrounding guards suddenly became quiet. There were 1,200 of them.  Never kneel before anyone in your life, this is the honor given to them by the commander-in-chief.

    ?When Wang Ping got up, his forehead was a little blue and there were tears in his eyes.

    "Commander, I'm not wearing a military uniform today, so it doesn't count as disobeying your order. I've been wanting to kowtow to you for a long time!"

    At this moment, Li Dong seemed to understand what Wang Ping was going to say, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist. "Get up. Today, you are very happy. Don't talk about those unhappy things."

    Wang Ping knelt stubbornly, his voice choked with sobs: "Commander, without you, I, Wang Ping, would just be a mediocre poor boy, a servant who has been bullied all his life and dare not even say a word. Let alone  Today I can marry such a beautiful wife and have a home!"

    "Silly boy, what are you talking about?" Li Dong wiped the corners of his eyes and stepped forward to help Wang Ping up.

    Wang Ping took a step back and gave Li Dong a military salute: "Commander, I, Wang Ping, swear to God that I will follow you for the rest of my life and never leave you!"

    Bang, the surrounding Guards officers stood up solemnly and saluted at the same time, "Commander, we are willing to follow you for life and never leave you!" Their mood at this time was the same as Wang Ping's. Li Dong saved them from the fire.  Teach them how to read and write, teach them the ability to fight enemies in battle, and let them start a glorious life. Human beings are not ruthless, and the only way to repay this kindness is with death!

    Li Dong's tears also flowed down. No matter how many difficulties he encountered in the past few years, he was always accompanied by a group of subordinates who were loyal to him. One of his orders could make these people throw their lives without hesitation.  Hot blooded.  With these people, what else is he afraid of, and what else can't he accomplish?

    Li Dong shook his head, shook away the tears from his eyes, and cursed with a smile, "There are women watching next to me. What do a bunch of big men look like crying! Let's all sit down and drink!"

    After Wang Ping acted like this, the atmosphere at the wedding became a bit dull. Everyone began to eat the food and wine in silence, recalling the misfortunes they had suffered in the past, and they even wanted to kill Li Dongsheng in their hearts.

    Li Dong looked at this scene and shook his head, thinking that a good wedding cannot be like this, so he spoke softly.

    "Wang Ping, you are the most honest of all my subordinates. I want to ask you a question."

    ¡°Commander, may I ask?¡± Wang Ping stood up with a snap.

    "Sit down and say, sit down and say, Wang Ping, there are so many women at this wine table, who do you think is the most beautiful?" Women are the topic of a man's life. As soon as they heard who was judged as the most beautiful, everyone got excited.  Look around.

    Wang Ping didn't understand why Li Dong asked him this question, but since the marshal asked him, he had to take a closer look. He looked around and found that, including his own wife, there were actually not many women who could go to the wine table.  Many, namely Chen Zhiping, Wang Yunxia and some female soldiers from the medical battalion.

    Among these women, Chen Zhiping and Wang Yunxia were both born ladies, and they were pretty at heart. Naturally, the candidates were chosen among these two. However, Wang Ping was no longer the stupid young man he used to be. He knew that one would not be called beautiful by the other.  Happy, so.  .  .  "Commander, according to my subordinates, Captain Chen and Captain Wang are indistinguishable."

    Li Dong shrugged his shoulders and chuckled. He pointed at Wang Ping, "You are really an honest man. I'm afraid you will have to kneel on the washboard tonight."

    Li Xiang was the first to react, pointing at Wang Ping and laughing loudly, "Old Wang, you're done. If I were you, I would definitely say that the bride is the most beautiful!"

    At this time, everyone realized that it turned out that the commander had dug a hole for Wang Ping, hahaha

    Di Yun put his delicate hand on Wang Ping's waist, pinched it hard, and whispered in Wang Ping's ear, "I'll settle the score with you tonight!"

    Wang Ping¡¯s face suddenly looked very strange.

    When Li Dong acted like this, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became lively, and everyone stood up to toast Wang Ping.  .  .

    Li Dong patted Wang Ping on the shoulder, "Wang Ping, before I drink too much, I have to tell you something first. You can put aside the military affairs of the Guards for a few months and let Zhao Dongxu take care of them for a few months.  Wife, go travel to the south. Li Shuangcheng will make arrangements for you there. It will be fun for you in a few months before you come back! You will get married once in your life, so enjoy it."

    Li Dong didn't drink too much, but Wang Ping was almost knocked unconscious by everyone, so he subconsciously said, "Yes Commander"

    Just when everyone was eating happily, Xu Chun walked in quickly, came to Li Xiang, and lowered his voice, "Sir, there are some things that need to be handled personally."

    Li Xiang frowned, "You don't have any eyesight at all, so why can't you wait for a while?"

    "Sir, this is a first-class military report sent from the border!"
