Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Yu Wenyu's wedding came as scheduled, and the whole Taifu mansion was bustling with activity from dawn on this day.

There have been happy events in the Yuwen family before, but they were all married women, and this is the first time for a new member to be married. Daxingtai was very happy that Huzhong Erlang got married, even though he was only the eldest son of a concubine, and the marriage partner was Duguxin, his friend from the Wuchuan Township Party.

Leaving aside the son of Zhao Gui, who is engaged but has not yet married, this is the first time that Yu Wentai has been married to the Wuchuan Township Party, so this wedding also has extraordinary significance.

In order to show the importance of this wedding, Yu Wentai, who has always been frugal with expenses, also allocated a considerable budget for this wedding. Although Li Tai, who was responsible for preparing the wedding, was still a little nervous, he also knew that this was a rare generosity compared to Daxingtai's usual behavior.

As preparations for the wedding progressed, Li Tai also gradually realized that Daxingtai had appointed him to take charge of this matter, perhaps not just to show people at the time that he was still one of Daxingtai's most trusted confidants. The meaning of beating the autumn wind to deceive the local tyrants.

The budget given by Dahangtai is limited, but the personnel required are huge. Although it is said that everything can be done in Feng and Jian, if the wedding is too simple, people will not think that it is because of Daxingtai's stinginess, but will blame Li Tai for not doing things well.

So in the second half of the wedding preparations, Li Tai basically spent money on things himself, as if he was marrying his daughter-in-law, and finally prepared the wedding properly.

On the wedding day, guests came to Taifu in an endless stream to congratulate them, and were arranged to have banquets and music in different halls, waiting to watch the ceremony at night.

Li Tai naturally didn't have time to sit down and drink for fun. He needed to lead his staff to patrol everywhere so that when an accident occurred, he could appear in time and deal with it.

In particular, the atmosphere in Kansai is heroic. Those soldiers don't care about anything after they get involved. They vent themselves first and then talk about it. It is even more necessary to arrange some emergency measures to prevent others from messing up this carefully prepared wedding.

Yuwentai was happy to enjoy the success. He had been sitting in the main hall of the inner palace since early morning to receive congratulations from internal and external ministers. His face was red and he was in a good mood. His hearty and cheerful smile echoed throughout the hall.

Li Taiqi, who was so busy that his feet didn't touch the floor, might be passing by here when he saw several Zhu Guo who were accompanying Yu Wentai to banquet and chat in the hall. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart: Just keep it like this, you old guys just sit like this. Drink and drink tea in the hall, leave all external affairs to me, and when the time is right, I will bury you together!

Yu Wentai was unaware of these sinister thoughts in Li Tai's mind. In addition to enjoying the benefits, he would occasionally express his gratitude and condolences to the busy Li Tai, personally fill a glass of wine for Li Tai to come and drink, and he would almost spoil you. A bad doting expression.

Little did he know that Li Tai was not grateful at all for such concern. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp before quickly walking out of the hall and hurriedly went to another hall to calm the dispute and appease the crowd.

Fortunately, he is now the number one person in the country below the Zhu Kingdom, and his prestige is enough to control the situation. Whether these people at home and abroad are convinced or not, they always have to give him some face. If you offend Daxingtai, Daxingtai may be magnanimous and not care about it. But if you offend General Li, Zhu Guo Zhao Gui is a living example. After several years of tension, he finally had to bow his head and settle the matter.

In this way, under Li Tai's careful maintenance, although the whole day was lively, there were no fights or disturbances. Some of the congratulators drank too much and were very drunk. They were all arranged in a side room of the other hall. Even if they were drunk, they would not affect the wedding ceremony here.

Finally in the evening, the procession leading the bridegroom, Guanyu Wenyu, set off from Taifu and headed straight for Duguxin's residence in the south of the city. All the congratulators from Taiwan also paused their banquet games and sipped buttermilk, tea and other drinks to soothe their hangovers, waiting to watch the ceremony later.

There is no custom of tea drinking in Guanzhong nowadays. Even in Luoyang during the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was more open and tolerant, tea drinking was still derogatoryly called cheese slaves. This is by no means an elegant term, but the Northern Dynasties expressed their contempt by belittling the eating habits of the Southerners.

The habit of drinking tea is not completely absent in Guanzhong nowadays, but it is mainly concentrated among temple monks and people who have lived in the Southern Dynasties and come from the north. For example, Li Tai, his cousin Lu Rou, etc., and even his father Li Xiao, although not a big addict, occasionally like to drink a little tea. Of course, this is just an example and is far from a trend.

Li Tai knows that the market prospects and profits of tea, a daily drink, are very considerable, so he has been seizing the opportunity to promote the habit of drinking tea.
