The house where Guan Zhong lives is not too small, there are only two servants and two maids, and this house is still relatively desolate, but today is very lively, early in the morning, Guan Zhong's house is crowded with people, and it feels a little overcrowded. Chu Yangge and Yu Qi arrived early in the morning, and Tian Yaoyao and a group of villagers in the workshop also arrived.

And Guan Zhong's family, except for his eldest brother Guan Guangyuan, did not come, which is surprising.

The shirtless Master Hu Ren, the Master Meng from Jiaodong, and the bearded Old Man Wei Chi with two bent hooks all volunteered to organize a banquet for him, and Guan Zhong naturally agreed, and immediately asked his cook to lead them to the kitchen.

When these people arrived at the kitchen, they rolled up their arms and sleeves, and just after a moment of hard work, more than a dozen ox carts came from outside the house, the front cars were full of all kinds of food and water, and the back cars were sitting some fat men with big bellies. When these fat men arrived at the housekeeper, they unceremoniously blasted out some cooks who specialized in snacks in the market, such as Master Meng and Old Man Wei Chi.

It turned out that these people were actually the imperial chefs sent by Tuan'er from the imperial dining room, and where did these cooking masters in the palace look down on these folk snacks, they were naturally unkind to them. As soon as they learned the identity of the other party, Master Meng and the others were not annoyed, they were blasted out wearing aprons and white noodles with their hands, and moved to the mouth of the alley.

Many of the people who come to congratulate today must be people from the officialdom, and these people can only set up a banquet in the courtyard and room, and it is impossible to eat flowing water in the alley, but many villagers in the fang are also coming, and it is impossible for these people to sit at the same table with those officials. And although Guan Zhong's family is not small, it can't squeeze in so many guests.

When Master Meng and the others arrived at the mouth of the alley, they occupied two sheds first. If you lack some ingredients and condiments, let people go to the nearby South Market to buy them. Anyway, the wedding only takes place in the evening. There is plenty of time, and there is still time for a qiē.

Guan Zhong has no concept of marriage etiquette at all, he stood in front of the hall, someone here came to ask the east, and someone came to ask the west, Yao'er was always at a loss. was called around, but he couldn't get an idea, but fortunately, people came over and just asked him politely. Without waiting for him to answer, he ran to make his own decisions.

By noon, Guan Zhong had simply eaten and had just filled his stomach. Aunt Ma and Aunt Hua led a group of women in the workshop to come. Under their command, the housekeeper was even more busy, and by this time, the housekeeper had completely changed, and he was full of lights and joy.

Guan Zhong was still standing in front of the hall, although he couldn't interfere in anything. I don't know what to arrange, or I'm stunned by such a cumbersome wedding etiquette.

On the other side, there is also confusion.

Yao'er was dizzy. Xiao Zhuo, dressed as a young woman, led a group of women in the workshop to surround him suddenly, and when he saw Yao'er standing there in a daze, Xiao Zhuo smiled and said: You girl, why are you still standing here? In a few moments, important guests will come to the door one after another, and you are still wearing this dress!

Yao'er asked in a daze: Sister Xiaozhuo, what should I do now?

Xiao Zhuo asked: Where's your dress? Have you already done it?

Yao'er patted her head and said: No, I don't know what to prepare, the palace seems to be prepared, right? Wang San, Wang San!

Yao'er shouted twice, and Menzi Wang San didn't know where he came out, and said sweatingly: Lady, you call me?

Yao'er said: Do I have a dress?

Wang San twitched the corners of his mouth and said: How can you get married today without a dress? Yesterday, the palace sent a dowry, didn't you also send the dress?

Yao'er said happily: It's good to have, it's good to have.

She turned around and said to Xiao Zhuo diligently: Sister Ning, the dress is there, hehe.

Xiao Zhuo and the big girls and daughters-in-law looked at her strangely, the smile on Yao'er's face froze, and asked cautiously: Is there something wrong?

Xiao Zhuo rolled his eyes and said angrily: Since you have a dress, then you should hurry up and change into it!

Yao'er stammered: Oh......, now...... Do you want to change it?

Xiao Zhuo pulled him up and left, shaking his head and sighing as he walked: Alas! My sister is really worried about you, looking at your confused appearance, you are actually going to be the mother of the family!

Yao'er smiled dryly: My little sister has never been exposed to these things, so how do I know what to do.

……

In Guan Zhong's courtyard, Yao'er's people have completely taken over here.

That Yu Qi was pedaling on the ladder, hanging red silk latte flowers on the beam, and when he saw Guan Zhong with a dumb face, he leaned over and laughed: Brother, today you are the groom's widow, now you don't have to do anything, just save your strength, and wait until you enter the cave room at night to do a big job! Hahaha......

Chu Yangge, who was pulling the silk flowers on the other side, also laughed, shaking the ladder and trembling, and the person holding the ladder at the bottom said nervously: Be careful, be careful, don't fall down.

……

Yao'er was surrounded by a group of women's army to the bedroom, and those unmarried girls were waiting outside, and the sisters-in-law who had become relatives didn't have so many scruples, so they directly stripped off her coat and changed her dress.

After the big red beam crown and the crimson skirt were neatly dressed, several sisters-in-law pressed her on the stool again, smeared her face for a while, Yao'er puppets were generally at their mercy, and when the dress stopped, Xiaozhuo moved the bronze mirror, Yao'er took a look, her lips and teeth were white, and her eyebrows were clear, which was really more enchanting than usual.

Her complexion was originally relatively healthy and black, but it seems to be very white at the moment, it seems that several sisters-in-law have applied powder to her face, but the powder is very evenly applied, there is no unnatural feeling at all, and the eyebrows have also been trimmed, and the edges are slightly drawn, and a pair of willow eyebrows are more charming.

Everyone was applauding, and Miss Yin was bold, leaned over her face, and looked at Yao'er as if she was close to each other. pulled up her big sleeves and said faintly and resentfully: Yao'er, you are so handsome today!

Yao'er was embarrassed.

The bride and groom are both in pain and "happy", Yao'er and Guan Zhong have sweethearts, why did they finally take over this family business, it has to start from that night.

That night the moon was dark and the wind was high. The two met "secretly", they were a pair of like-minded buddies, but they were rubbed together by today's female king. Getting rid of the embarrassment of meeting at the beginning, the two quickly adapted and had a deep conspiracy: fake marriage.

That's right, it's a fake marriage that deceives the world.

Yao'er originally grew up in a country of hatred of heaven where the people were open, although she was a woman, but the secular etiquette did not restrict her much, so when Guan Zhong proposed this sensational mention. Yao'er agreed without hesitation, maybe this is the best choice for the two.

For the cynical Guan Zhong, a fake marriage is for him. Without any morality or public opinion, since that incident, he has wandered away from many princely kingdoms, and his mind has become more emancipated and galloping.

……

The groom with a proud face is ready to greet his relatives in the morning sun.

Guan Zhong suddenly stopped. Turning his head to look at the alleyway. There was a running water seat on the wall in the alley, although there were not many guests at the moment, but there were already some people, some of the older guests did not need to help with idle work, they were sitting under the shed eating dried fruits, drinking water and chatting, and when they saw that the alley was crowded, the knight immediately slowed down.

Guan Zhong looked at it fixedly. Immediately sat upright, it was the housekeeper Guan Guangyuan. When the first person in the dynasty was the son of Uncle Guan, for his eldest brother, Guan Zhong did not "cross his eyebrows and coldly pointed at Qianfu", he smiled slightly: Brother, why do you have to run so quickly, the hour is still early, are you still afraid that you won't be able to eat the wine?

Guan Guangyuan turned over and dismounted, his expression was slightly embarrassed, and he coughed dryly and said: Erlang, I ...... I still have something to do, and I can't attend your wedding banquet today, so ...... Come and see you first, and say hello to you, Erlang doesn't want to blame me.

Oh?

The people who knew the inside story next to each other glanced at each other, and they knew a little in their hearts.

As soon as Guan Guangyuan showed an embarrassed look, several people already understood his embarrassment, Guan Zhong naturally knew why Guan Guangyuan was embarrassed, saying that he was married but his father did not participate, Guan Zhong's heart was also faintly sad, but some things could not be publicized to everyone, and the knot and misunderstanding between his father and himself were difficult to express.

It's impossible to tell the secret.

Guan Zhong smiled reluctantly, and saw that Guan Guangyuan was holding the reins of the horse with one hand, as if he was about to leave after saying a few words, and he didn't even want to enter the door, so he said: Foolish brother is married, brother can come to say hello in his busy schedule, the younger brother is full of hospitality, the brother has official business, so he should naturally focus on state affairs, how can the younger brother be responsible.

Guan Guangyuan was a little embarrassed, he reached into his arms, took out a scroll of paintings, and said to Yao'er: Father heard that Erlang was married, so he specially made a painting as a gift......

Guan Bo was born in a family of eunuchs, talented, all-round civil and military, known as the pearl of the treasure by the people of the time, for the scholars are fond of poetry, painting and fuqin these elegant things, Guan Bo is also very good, but except for the occasional court banquet, he is ordered to compose poems and responses, he rarely composes poems, and no one has ever heard of painting.

The little guy next to him hurriedly stepped forward and helped Guan Zhong open the painting scroll, the painting scroll slowly unfolded, and everyone looked at it, but saw that it was a five-foot-long horizontal axis, which was painted with three friends of the cold year, a pine, a clump of bamboo, and a plum.

Guan Guangyuan smiled and said: Do you know the metaphor of this painting that your father gave you?

Guan Zhong's eyes flickered slightly, and said: The pine and cypress are evergreen, which means longevity. Bamboo shoots (grandson), red plum seeds (seeds). It means many children and grandchildren. Hehe, this is the meaning of many blessings and longevity, many sons and grandchildren, father...... Xiangye's kindness, Guan is grateful, I will definitely treasure this painting!

Guan Guangyuan saw that he deliberately avoided his father's original intention of giving the painting, so he had to smile bitterly and said: Erlang is married, and there is no gift that can be taken for his brother, he is good at shooting and hunting for his brother, and he has several horses at home. Has Haruka ridden?

That time, the third housekeeper, Guan Guangzhao, wanted to follow Lu Wuxian to the palace gate to persuade him to enter, Yao'er once rode the housekeeper's fast horse, and rushed to the noon gate with Guan Guangyuan to tie him back.

Guan Guangyuan said meaningfully: At that time, it was thanks to Yao'er who rode this horse in time to rush there, so that the third brother did not fall into the mud and could not extricate himself! As the saying goes: 'A horse is given to a strong man, and a sword is given to a hero', so give this horse to your second brother as a wedding gift...... Maybe at that time, Yao'er had already had a fate with our housekeeper, and I still had important things to do, so I didn't want to stay for a long time, so I took my leave!

Guan Guangyuan bowed his hand to Guan Zhong and several other colleagues in the army, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the alley. Guan Zhong slowly walked up two steps, gently stroked the horse's mane, looked at Guan Guangyuan's back, and sighed deeply: This eldest brother is really well-intentioned! (To be continued......)
