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

Chapter 418 Disrupting the Wedding
Chen Ce had no idea that he had been fooled by someone. Zhan Ruoshui thought that Chen Ce had come with bad intentions today.

Today is the wedding day of his good friend Lun Wenxu, and he will not allow anyone to disrupt it.

As the successor of Baisha's doctrine and a student of the famous Confucian scholar Chen Xianzhang, although Zhan Ruoshui has not yet taken the imperial examination, he has many friends in the court thanks to his teacher's reputation.

He even frequently corresponded with the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The reason why Liang Chu values ​​Zhan Ruoshui, a junior, so much is because of his relationship with Chen Xianzhang. There are too many people in the Ministry of Rites who are good friends with Chen Xianzhang. If we talk about relationships, half of the people in the Ministry of Rites are Zhan Ruoshui's uncles.

As long as this junior enters the officialdom in the future, his future will be limitless. With so many people in the Ministry of Rites protecting him, how can he not have a future?

Zhan Ruoshui felt that Liang Chu was a member of the Hanlin Academy and had no real power in the court, but the Ministry of Rites was different. He was a model for all ages and the teacher of Confucian students all over the world.

No matter whether Chen Ce was an official or a Confucian scholar, as long as the Ministry of Rites stepped forward, Chen Ce would naturally be three points shorter.

Ning Zhijun happened to be the daughter of the Left Doctor of the Ministry of Rites. Doctor Ning was marrying his daughter today, so naturally people from the Ministry of Rites would come to the banquet with the bride. When the people from the Ministry of Rites arrived, Zhan Ruoshui planned to use the officials of the Ministry of Rites to put pressure on Chen Ce. At all costs, they must ensure that Lun Wenxu's wedding today goes smoothly and Chen Ce cannot be allowed to continue making trouble.

Zhan Ruoshui even had reason to suspect that the conflict just now was initiated by Chen Ce, who deliberately tried to embarrass Brother Lun.

After all, it is normal to come to the wedding to disrupt the relationship if you cannot get the love you want, but this person is really too narrow-minded.

If he makes trouble again during the wedding, the consequences will be disastrous! Zhan Ruoshui made a decision secretly, and waited for the people from the Ministry of Rites to arrive before talking things over with Chen Ce.

……

As the sun gradually set, the wedding procession had already arrived in front of Lun's mansion.

All the guests in the mansion looked at them with attention. Lun Wenxu led his bride over the threshold of the high gate. The guests around them were quiet, and they all stared at the golden boy and girl with envy.

Madam Wu also showed deep envy in her eyes, but she would only glance at Chen Ce occasionally.

Chen Ce looked at the other person quietly, his face calm, neither sad nor happy.

Xiaohua exclaimed: "How beautiful!"

Zhu Houzhao: “?”

"How can it be beautiful? You haven't even seen the bride."

Xiao Hua said as a matter of course: "You are dressed beautifully. So this is what it means to get married. I will also dress like this when I marry Brother Chen..."

Chen Ce quickly covered Xiaohua's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Immediately, several scrutinizing glances were cast at Chen Ce from all around. They shook their heads, sighed, and lamented.

This beast! He didn't even let the child go, and captured her so young to be a child bride?
Chen Ce was so embarrassed that his face turned red.

Among the people we brought here, except Madam Wu, every one of them is trouble!
The wedding banquet officially began when Lun Wenxu and his bride entered the central hall.

The Ning family's guests had already taken their seats in the courtyard, and a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites also took their seats in casual clothes.

Xiaohua cried and pulled Chen Ce, insisting that Chen Ce take her to the central hall to watch.

Chen Ce had not intended to go, but he could not stand the noise of this naughty child, so he had no choice but to accompany her into the central hall and squeeze into the crowd.

At some point, the Zhang brothers, Zhu Houzhao, and Madam Wu also came over.

The Zhang brothers arrogantly pushed the crowd aside and said, "Get out of the way! Let us get to the front!"

The crowd of onlookers didn't dare to say anything. After all, they had never seen such an arrogant person, so they made way for him. "Hurry, follow us!"

The Zhang brothers waved their hands behind them, and seeing that Chen Ce was unmoved, they shouted, "Brother Chen, what are you doing standing there? Come and see!"

"Who dares to stop you? I will break their legs! Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way! Make way for me, Brother Chen!"

The Zhang brothers yelled.

Chen Ce smiled awkwardly, nodded to the guests around him, and his face turned red with shame again.

You two bastards! If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!
Chen Ce covered his face and came to the side of the Zhang brothers, whispering: "Can you guys not be so high-profile!"

If Xiaohua hadn't clamored to come and watch the fun, Chen Ce really wanted to pretend not to know this pair of fierce brothers.

Zhan Ruoshui saw the whole scene and was extremely anxious. Knowing that Chen Ce was going to cause trouble, he hurried outside to find Cheng Minzheng, the Right Vice Minister of Rites.

"Uncle Cheng."

When Cheng Minzheng heard that Zhan Ruoshui was Chen Xianzhang's favorite disciple, his expression became amiable. Chen Xianzhang passed away last year, which was a great loss to the Ming Dynasty literary world.

Cheng Minzheng was also very fond of Zhan Ruoshui. They had been communicating through letters before, and Cheng Minzheng knew that Zhan Ruoshui was well-educated and had inherited Chen Xianzhang's legacy.

"Yuan Ming, you are here too?"

Zhan Ruoshui nodded and said, "Bo Chou is my good friend in Guangdong. He is getting married now, so my nephew will come."

"Uncle Cheng, there is something I would like you to stop."

Seeing Zhan Ruoshui's serious tone, Cheng Minzheng nodded and said, "Well, since you are in the capital, just tell your uncle if you encounter any troubles."

Zhan Ruoshui looked grateful and respectful, and then said, "I'm afraid someone will disrupt the order of the wedding today."

"I heard from Lord Liang that a student seemed to have a crush on the new bride and had been pestering her."

"Now that Bo Chou is getting married, he has brought people here to cause trouble. Before you arrived, a conflict had already occurred here. I don't know how much face Bo Chou's family has lost."

Zhan Ruoshui told Cheng Minzheng about the Zhang brothers' deliberate attempt to steal cakes and create a quarrel, and then said, "This man is quite intelligent. He actually used this method to deal with Bo Chou's family."

"He must have known that the Bochou family were simple and kind-hearted old farmers, so he did this, deliberately provoking the other party's temper and quarreling in public. In the end, it will definitely be the Bochou family who will be embarrassed."

"Master, the people attending the banquet today are probably either juren or officials. All officials in the world come from the Ministry of Rites. Please come out and stop them to prevent them from causing any more trouble."

"Just now I saw them in the inner hall ready to make trouble."

When Cheng Minzheng heard about this, he was unwilling to get involved. If the Minister of Rites had not been busy today, Cheng Minzheng would never have given Ning Cheng this face.

He let Ning Cheng join the Ministry of Rites because of Chen Ce's face. If it weren't for Chen Ce, would Ning Cheng be able to join the Ministry of Rites?
Later he heard that Ning Cheng and Chen Ce's marriage had been cancelled long ago, and it was too late to regret!

Under such circumstances, how could he give Ning Cheng face to attend his daughter's wedding? But the Minister of Rites couldn't come today, so Cheng Minzheng was asked to attend the wedding banquet in his place, and Cheng Minzheng came reluctantly.

Now, after hearing Zhan Ruoshui say that someone was disrupting the wedding, he thought that it would be better if they disrupted it. However, due to the relationship with Zhan Ruoshui, he still said, "Well, bring the person over."

Zhan Ruoshui said: "Okay! I'll be there right away!"
