Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 416 Dinner
Lun Wenxu's wedding was scheduled for October 13th, and during this period his family also moved from Guangdong to the capital.

As Lun Wenxu's teacher, Liang Chu specially gave Lun Wenxu a house on Chengqingfang Street.

The relationship between teachers and students in ancient times was not just as simple as teacher and student. In a broader sense, the teacher was like a second father.

Lun Wenxu has a bright future. Liang Chu is old, and his descendants have not passed the imperial examinations. He needs to invest in the future of his Liang family's descendants. This will definitely be a sure win. It's just a house, no problem.

Ning Zhijun could never escape the fate of an arranged marriage. Even if she wanted to resist, even if her father doted on her, what could she do?

In fact, she had known for a long time that there was no hope for Chen Ce, and with Chen Ce's personality, Madam Wu had been through thick and thin with her for so long, even if he really planned to marry in the end, he would not marry someone else, not to mention that Chen Ce had no plan to marry either.

Ning Zhijun couldn't stay single forever. Ning Cheng and Liang Chu kept putting pressure on her, and she had no way to resist anymore.

……

The situation in the north has been stabilized, and all the chess pieces in the southeast have been deployed, ready to be closed.

The envoy of the Ministry of Rites of Emperor Hongzhi also went to the Japanese island with the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Ministry of War spies. Everything was progressing in an orderly manner according to Chen Ce's plan.

On October 12, a total of five carriages from Guangdong arrived in the capital, and sitting in the carriages were Lun Wenxu's parents, family members and relatives.

His ancestors were from Liyong, Nanhai County, Guangzhou Prefecture, and his father was a real farmer. The emergence of a top scholar in a village was undoubtedly a blessing from his ancestors.

This group of relatives all moved into the house on Chengqingfang Street. Lun's father, mother and a group of clan elders met Liang Chu respectfully.

They learned from Lun Wenxu that Liang Chu was a high-ranking official in the capital with a distinguished status, so the group felt a little awkward, but fortunately Liang Chu did not look down on them, which made them feel at ease.

That morning, Lun Wenxu asked the maids and servants in the mansion to take his family to Chengqingfang Street to buy new clothes for his relatives.

Lun Wenxu received several of his friends in the courtyard, among whom he was best friends with Zhan Ruoshui. Both of them were famous talents in Guangzhou Prefecture and had been good friends since they were in Guangzhou Prefecture.

Zhu Houzhao came to Huaihua Hutong this afternoon to ask Chen Ce to go out for an autumn outing tomorrow. This guy finally has no classes in the Eastern Palace tomorrow, and he has become bored in the Eastern Palace during this period of time.

"Little brother, let's go to Xuanda tomorrow. I haven't seen the scenery outside the Great Wall yet!"

Chen Ce: “…”

This guy really does what he wants. If you suddenly appear on the Xuanda front, the entire court will probably be in an uproar.

The reason for this was that the Ming Dynasty had won a great victory in the north. I don’t know what nerve of Zhu Houzhao was stimulated to make such an exaggerated decision.

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "I'm going to attend Lun Wenxu's wedding tomorrow."

Zhu Houzhao asked suspiciously: "Lun Wenxu? Why did he send you an invitation? Are you two familiar with each other? Also, who is he married to?"

Chen Ce shook his head. He was naturally not familiar with Lun Wenxu. The person who posted might not be him but his teacher Liang Chu.

Liang Chu knew that he had been married to the Ning family before, and he was probably worried that he was still thinking about Ning Cheng's daughter, so he sent a message to Chen Ce to let him give up the idea.

"This Liang Chu... eh." Zhu Houzhao suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "This Lun Wenxu is so shameless! He married your ex-wife?"

Chen Ce opened his mouth slightly, patted Zhu Houzhao on the head and said, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Perhaps Chen Ce is the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty who dares to do such a thing.

Zhu Houzhao was not angry. He just laughed and said, "It was just a joke. Attending the wedding banquet? Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Chen Ce: “…”

You are the crown prince, and if you go, won't it cause a sensation in the entire Lun Mansion? At that time, Lun Wenxu's biggest event might not be getting married, but receiving you.

You are just making trouble. Zhu Houzhao said: "I am not making trouble. If I go there privately, no one will know. The wedding day is so busy, how can Liang Chu and Lun Wenxu have time to meet me?"

"I am going to have a feast."

"Okay, okay, it's a happy decision. I'll go with you tomorrow."

Chen Ce groaned, but still worried, and warned Zhu Houzhao: "Don't do anything rash at the wedding tomorrow!"

For some reason, Chen Ce always had a bad feeling.

On October 13th, at dusk, Lun Wenxu's wedding is about to begin.

Chen Ce took Mrs. Wu, the excited Xiaohua and Zhu Houzhao to Chengqingfang Street.

Xiaohua and Zhu Houzhao were both very exaggerated. They hadn't eaten for the whole day and were just waiting to feast at the wedding banquet. They are really talented people.

Of course, there were not only the two of them who were talented. There were also two hungry guys who followed Chen Ce and his team listlessly.

Looking closely, they were the two marquises of the Zhang family.

Well, it's not surprising that they could do such a thing. Chen Ce even suspected that Lun Wenxu didn't invite them at all.

When we arrived at Lun Mansion, there were several old men and young men sitting near the gate of the mansion who were collecting membership fees.

The people responsible for receiving the gifts were Lun Wenxu's uncle, younger brother, cousin and cousin.

The Zhang brothers rolled their eyes and said to Chen Ce and Zhu Houzhao, "Give me your gift money, we will serve it together to save everyone from the mess. You should go in quickly and grab a good seat at the table, where the food will be served the fastest."

Chen Ce: “…”

Without thinking much about it, he handed his gift package to the Zhang brothers, and Zhu Houzhao did the same.

After Chen Ce, Zhu Houzhao and others went in, the Zhang brothers carefully opened the gift package.

Ten taels of silver per person!

The two brothers looked at each other, then smiled slightly, walked up to the old man who was paying respects, and said, "Brother Zhang, one hundred coins."

"Chen Ce's family, one hundred coins."

The old man's face twitched slightly. He thought that the lowest gift money he had received before was at least three or five taels of silver, and he had never seen such a small amount.

He thought that Lun Wenxu, a top scholar, should be a man who talked and laughed with great scholars and had no ordinary friends, right? Why did someone still offer a gift of 100 coins?
I’m afraid some gangster has sneaked in.

However, the old man reluctantly accepted the money and watched the Zhang brothers enter the mansion.

Lun Wenxu's younger brother, Lun Wenche, looked disdainful and complained, "Are these family really my big brother's friends?"

"How dare you come to the banquet with such little money?"

"There are no such shameless people in our village now, but the people in the capital are really so shameless!"

The elder of the Lun family shook his head and said, "Forget it. On the day of Bo Chou's wedding, don't cause any trouble. Just let them have a meal. Just treat it as feeding the dogs."

The Zhang brothers sat listlessly at the banquet table and shouted unhappily, "Why haven't you served the food yet? Serve it quickly! We're starving!"

Damn, Chen Ce suddenly felt very ashamed to sit with them. They haven’t even gotten married yet, but you’re already clamoring for food. What a talent!
