Chapter 1103: Wedding Arrangements

"Then let us discuss the matter of the wedding between Changle and Ayuduo again; it just so happens that we are all together."

Changle and Ayuduo immediately sat up straighter, feeling a bit nervous, but the Chieftain and his companions did not mind, because the Jiuli had no such thing as a wedding; they did not know what it was, feeling it might just be some kind of sacrificial ritual of Huaxia.

"You Huaxia can handle this yourselves; in our view, Ayuduo is already Changle's woman, and Ayuduo herself thinks so too."

The Huaxia officials could only pull back their hands and also sit a bit straighter; since the Jiuli did not care, then perhaps the following words were for them to hear from Baifeng.

"Very well, since you Jiuli have no requirements, we will proceed according to Huaxia's customs. As for the time, it will be tomorrow. Today, our Ministry of Rites will begin the preparations; we will set it up in the great plaza, as you have had experience with before."

"Zhigui, and Miaoyin, put aside the work of the Weaving Department for now, and let the music troupe prepare well; they will have to work tomorrow."

Miaoyin smiled brightly: "Understood, Father, I am already preparing this, and there will certainly be no problems."

"Good, Zhigui, you must not have any problems tomorrow either. Zhinu, have your people speed up; send over the clothes for Changle and Ayuduo tonight so they can try them on."

Zhinu, who was also Wen Count, the "Zhinu" whose name was actually Zhinu, also immediately gave his assurance: "King, there is no problem with this. They have been working day and night since yesterday, and it is basically finished now; it will definitely be delivered tonight."

"Good, then also urge them on Ayuduo's jewelry; that cannot be missing either."

Amidst the gaze of the Chieftain and his companions, who were not very concerned but still a bit curious, Baifeng arranged everything one by one, preparing with all his might for tomorrow's wedding. Finally, Baifeng announced: "Starting from tomorrow, the whole country will have a two-day holiday to celebrate Changle's grand wedding. Inform the two cities and all the towns; the whole country shall celebrate. Tomorrow, the supply of Wine will also be opened up, no longer restricted; buy as much as you want."

"Personnel of the Ministry of Public Security, you will have to work hard; send extra men to ensure good order, do not let any mishaps occur, and also guard against others getting drunk and causing trouble."

Although Yulong managed the Ministry of Public Security, the specific executors were not him, so naturally it was not for him to ensure it, but for his subordinate officials. As Changle's older brother, Yulong had to rest and celebrate tomorrow; it was impossible for him to go work.

After everything was settled, the meeting content was considered finished. However, seeing that the cups in front of the Chieftain and his companions had not even been moved, whether to let them taste the specialties of Huaxia or because he did not want to waste that high-quality Tea Leaves, Baifeng advised: "Chieftain, Qianxi, Yangasha, please have a taste. This is Huaxia's tea, a very good thing."

"At first, it was discovered by the first Shennong, who said it could neutralize a hundred poisons, though I found it was not that powerful, but it is not bad either; mainly the taste is good. We in Huaxia have also gone through various preparations, and now the taste is even better. Do have a taste; this bit of Tea Leaves in Huaxia is far more precious than the same weight of Silk."

Ayuduo opened the lid of the cup and sniffed it, but did not feel there was anything special, and when they arrived, Changle had already let them taste it. She felt that the taste could only be described as indescribable; in any case, it was not good to drink.

The Chieftain and his companions also showed looks of difficulty: "As for this, we have already drunk it; Changle let us taste it before, but there is no poison in our bodies, so there is no need to drink this."

They politely declined and pushed the teacups a little further away. They liked the teacups, but did not like the tea. They just did not expect that this Tea Leaves would be so precious, even more expensive than Silk. Huaxia was truly an incredible place; why was everything more precious than Silk?

And it seemed that Silk was unique to the Xiling. Although Changle had explained to them that Huaxia also had silkworms, the so-called Heavenly Worm, the idea that Silk should belong to the Xiling had already taken root in their hearts, so the Chieftain and his companions still had some doubts in their hearts about Huaxia having so much Silk.

But many things could not be overthought; perhaps this was trade between Huaxia and others. After all, so many things in the Xuanyuan Tribe were built with Huaxia's help; perhaps the relationship between the two tribes was very good. It was said that this Bai Yulong also had a woman, and that woman was the daughter of Xuanyuan; it was not impossible.

Seeing that they did not want to drink, Baifeng did not force them again. But fortunately, they did not touch a drop; those servants would naturally finish this good tea. Although they were Baifeng's servants and did not eat or dress poorly, in the end, they were still Slaves. Real good things did not fall to them, nor could they be given to them. Some things were symbols of class; giving it to them would signify the breakdown of Huaxia's class structure. Everyone might as well not strive; if one could just be a servant for Baifeng, would that not be faster?

The only benefit was that these servants could pick up some leftovers; things they could not obtain, and things that those commoners could not obtain, so even if the servants had their own food, they wanted to eat what Baifeng left behind even more.

Regarding the behavior of these servants, the Nobles were also happy. It was not that there was affection, but that the servants were like the dogs they raised; if they could not finish their leftovers, giving it to them to eat was fine, but a dog could not sit at the table before people ate, and certainly could not eat with people; that status was different.

"Very well, if you do not want to drink, then do not drink. Tea is indeed not liked by everyone; there are quite a few people in Huaxia who do not like to drink tea. It is normal that you cannot drink it."

"In that case, let us disperse. Yishang!"

Yishang immediately stood up: "King, your orders."

"Send some people from the Phylum to take the Chieftain and his companions to tour around Huaxia and have a look. If they want to go play, let them play. I am afraid the Ministry of Rites cannot spare any manpower today; they have no time, so let your department do it."

Yishang immediately agreed, then left his seat first, and went to arrange the personnel. After Baifeng ordered the dismissal, the officials also left one after another and returned to their own offices. Of course, they also knew that Changle was getting married tomorrow, and now they could start preparing for the gift-giving.

The Nobles had long been prepared and had been waiting for this day. The lower-level officials had not received the news long ago, but now they also began to worry about it. Fortunately, Baifeng would not have excessive requirements for them; just a token gesture would do. Baifeng would even host a banquet and let these people come to eat for free. Calculating it, Baifeng was still at a loss, but in the end, he still had to make a big profit from the Nobles and the truly wealthy. Baifeng had thought about it; he only had two sons, and he could only earn this much from weddings twice. He had to scrape them hard; when he looked for a concubine in the future, he would not be able to use this to ask for grain.
