Chapter 476: Married
Marriage is a major event in life, and it stands to reason that it is not allowed to be sloppy. Especially whether it is Kong Rong or Cai Yong, they are both contemporary celebrities, especially the Confucian family, the Confucius family, and the scholarly disciples. When the Kong family marries a daughter, a formal ceremony is a must.
However, now the Han Dynasty is turbulent, coinciding with troubled times. In such an era, even a thousand-year-old family like the Confucian family is in danger of being destroyed at any time, and if one is not good, it will suffer from the blows of the imperial court or the scourge of some robbers.
When Liu Xian went to Beihai to formally propose to Kong Rong to discuss family affairs, the invasion of the Taishan Yellow Turban Thief had already put the Kong family in danger.
So, at that time, they no longer paid attention to some red tape. Mrs. Kong and Kong Xue both went to Liu Xian's Liulin City together, this is to send a daughter to marry, and the other is to feel that Liu Xian's Liulin City is safer than in Beihai City, this is to avoid trouble.
In fact, after Mrs. Kong arrived in Liulin City, when Kong Rong sent some classical books to Liulin City some time ago, he also deliberately observed the situation in Liulin City and Yangshi County. After thinking about it, he had already shifted the focus of his Kong family's industry to Liulin City.
Now Ma Guiren wants Liu Xian and Kong Xue to get married soon, and everyone can understand this eagerness to let Liu Xian leave incense for the Plains Palace. Therefore, after Kong Rong thought about it, he still asked Kong Xue to go to the capital to marry Liu Xian. And Mrs. Kong, she didn't come along.
The marriage with the daughters was scheduled for the third day after Yang Ci's death, and the Yang Mansion was still holding a funeral on this day.
Strictly speaking, this white matter really doesn't have much to do with Liu Xian, so this is not a conflict.
It's just because of the kindness and righteousness of Liu Xian and Yang Ci before their deaths, so Liu Xian helped in the Yang Mansion for the first three days, and in the name of Yang Biao's brother, he was busy in the Yang Mansion, mainly to come forward to do some affairs that Yang Biao was inconvenient and difficult to deal with.
There are hundreds of people in the Yang Mansion, and there are also many housekeepers of all sizes, so they don't need Liu Xian's help. It's just that the Yang family is indeed relatively thin, and some things are not handled by Yang Biao, who is already the head of the family, and those Yang Mansion people dare not decide. Liu Xian helped deal with these things.
For example, before Yang Ci's death, he was also regarded as a powerful minister, and those who came to mourn and mourn were not ordinary people. It's just that the subordinates of the Yang Mansion came forward to receive it, and if Yang Biao doesn't come forward, this is a little unreasonable.
At this time, Liu Xian, the nominal righteous brother, has enough weight in his identity and status to come forward to arrange the reception on his behalf, which makes people have nothing to say. And Liu Xian also took this opportunity to get to know more people in the court and those who were good friends with Yang Ci.
The first three days came, basically there are some people with more weight, and the imperial court can be regarded as having some expressions, sending internal servants to mourn, the imperial court posthumously awarded Yang Ci as a hussar general, nicknamed "Wen Lie", and some rewards were given to the Yang family, Yang Biao's hereditary father Linjin Marquis.
In addition, the officials of the court and the central government will basically come, even if they themselves do not come, they will also send people to give Yang a piece of incense. Naturally, they didn't come in person, and they naturally didn't have too much to do with Yang Ci, and some of them were even political enemies. Sending people to mourn is just some superficial work.
Relatives and friends of the Yang family, some of whom are side branches of the Yang family, and some distant relatives, will also come. But for these, it is necessary to arrange some things for them, such as asking the people of the Yang Mansion to settle them down, eat and drink, or whatever. These usually don't leave so quickly, at least they will leave after the funeral. At that time, I will also talk about some things with Yang Biao, the head of the Yang family, and these can only be talked about by Yang Biao himself in the future.
These days, there is a real crowd of people coming and going.
Liu Xian talked about his affairs with Yang Biao, and then he didn't go back to Yang's mansion. However, on the day of the funeral, Liu Xian would still see Yang Ci off.
At the same time, the Marquis Wuyong's Mansion has been lit up, full of lights, up and down, wearing red and green, and full of joy.
There is a happy event in the Marquis Wuyong Mansion, even if Liu Xian doesn't plan to do a big deal, but there are still many people who know about it. People who have a certain good relationship with Liu Xian, even if Liu Xian is not invited, they will come to congratulate.
For example, Min Gong in the palace, as well as the queen and the princess of Wannian.
And although Yang Biao will not come to congratulate in person, he will still let Representative Wang Xian come to congratulate.
Some of the descendants of the previous emperor's relics, after they learned the news, also came to the Marquis Wuyong's mansion early in the morning to congratulate. Because they have always maintained a certain contact with Ma Guiren, coming to congratulate them is also equivalent to taking refuge in Liu Xian.
There are also Luoyang businessmen who Liu Xian knows and have reached some cooperation agreements with Liu Xian, and they will also come to congratulate them.
Like the garrison of the city, Gali will also come.
Some neighbors, Liu Xian also sent invitations to them.
These neighbors, Liu Xian just holds the mentality that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and has a good relationship with his neighbors. In addition, even if it is inconvenient to hold a happy event, Liu Xian hopes to be more lively.
What surprised Liu Xian was that Ying'er from the draft workshop didn't know how she learned about Liu Xian's marriage in the Marquis of Wuyong's mansion, and actually came to congratulate her.
When Liu Xian was in the draft workshop, he had already told her that if he wanted to redeem himself for her, then he would come to him to discuss. But it never came, and now it's okay.
However, when Liu Xian saw her, she didn't tell Liu Xian about redeeming herself, as if she was just here to congratulate. In this way, Liu Xian did not mention this matter to her again.
There are some things, Liu Xian thinks that he is in a hurry, and when the time comes, everything will come naturally.
The arrival of Ying'er made the Marquis Wuyong's Mansion a little more lively. Because she said that as a congratulatory gift, she would perform her song and dance for Liu Xian, so that the guests of the Marquis Wuyong's mansion could enjoy it and add some festive atmosphere.
The identity of Ying'er is actually not suitable to come to congratulate in the name of a private person. Because this is an ancient era after all, the woman in the Qinglou will always give people a feeling that she can't get on the stage. In fact, ordinary wealthy families will definitely not invite Qinglou women to come to the banquet as guests to celebrate. At most, they will only be invited to perform songs and dances to please the guests.
It may be based on these considerations that Lai Ying'er plans to perform her talent at Liu Xian's wedding banquet for the guests who came to congratulate Liu Xian's newlywed.
But aside from the issue of identity, Lai Ying'er's reputation in Luoyang is indeed relatively large, although not everyone knows that there is this Qinglou beauty, but as long as there is a certain interest in Qinglou, or ordinary men, they will hear the name of Ying'er.
Come to Ying'er, in a way, it is equivalent to a star, and there are many fans. Although these fans are basically men.
The brides were in the Plains Palace, and Liu Xian had to go to greet his relatives, so Liu Xian temporarily arranged for Ying'er to go to his backyard to go with Diao Chan and other women.
Liu Xian's arrangement was actually intended to let Ying'er have an in-depth understanding of her Wuyong Marquis Mansion, and let her understand her person from the side. Liu Xian believes that when she meets Diao Chan and talks about singing and dancing, Lai Ying'er will definitely be affected a lot.
Yi Ji will not marry Liu Xian this time, so she is temporarily presiding over some trivial matters of the Marquis Wuyong's Mansion as half of the hostess of the Marquis Wuyong's Mansion. Of course, Zheng Bolai is still in charge of foreign affairs, and Zheng Bolai is in charge of welcoming and arranging guests.
Liu Xian has appointed Zhou Cang as the commander of his personal guard of the Marquis of Wuyong's Mansion, and he will be responsible for the escort of the Marquis of Wuyong's Mansion.
After all, Zhou Cang has been the king of the mountain, and there are hundreds of thousands of people under his hands, and after Liu Xian's allocation, as well as the coordination of Shan Yong, Li Yuan and others, there is no problem at all to lead the personal soldiers of the Marquis Wuyong's mansion to guard.
The people outside the city must not all enter the city to congratulate Liu Xian on his marriage, but only let some people above the captain and captain enter the city to participate in the wedding banquet, but the people in the caravan camp of Liu Mansion outside the city can also have a rare day of rest. Liu Xian also sent a lot of wine and food to the camp for them, enough for one or two thousand of them to eat and drink.
Liu Xian's relatives did not forget these ordinary soldiers, and also let these soldiers remember Liu Xian's favor.
Having said that, Liu Xian let them train at high intensity, but in terms of eating and drinking, it is excellent, and there will be meat at every meal, which is not only full, but also extremely nutritious.
Originally, there were still many recruited pro-soldier guards who were yellow-faced and thin-skinned, but now, all of them were full of red light, full of energy, and they all grew flesh. Muscles, of course.
It is precisely because after taking refuge in Liu Xian that they enjoy such a high-standard treatment that they have never imagined, so their loyalty to Liu Xian can be said to have reached its peak all of a sudden. If Liu Xian let them die, they would probably be willing. In this era, the people are still relatively simple, you treat me as a countryman, and I will repay them with the land. This is the portrayal of the people of this era.
Greeting relatives is also time-conscious.
Liu Xian didn't really understand these rules, and he just obeyed the arrangement.
Tao Qiuhong is the main marriage, and he and Kong Xue came to Luoyang together.
In terms of some details such as the choice of date, he and Ma Guiren decided together.
The brides have Kong Xue, Cai Yan, Zhang Ning, and Huang Wudie.
According to Liu Xian's meaning, there is no need to divide any wives and concubines, they are all their own wives. But Tao Qiuhong thought that this was inappropriate, and he also told Liu Xian some big truths, and in the end Liu Xian had to listen to their arrangement.
In fact, Ma Guiren also means this. She always believes that there are some things that it is better to prioritize. Now the women get along well, and the relationship with Liu Xian is also relatively harmonious. But Liu Xian has never been an ordinary person, his family is big, and he will be even richer in the future.
Nowadays, everyone is still young, and there are many aspects of life that everyone will not care about and will not pay attention to. Everyone lives together, and it seems that they can live in harmony, respect each other as guests, and discuss everything. But in the future, what about when they all have children for Liu Xian? It turns out that everyone must have no selfish intentions, but after each has children, it is different, and some things, at a certain time, a certain situation, will definitely have to be considered. When this person thinks too much, it is difficult to say that he will not be a little selfish.
Is it rare for a fire in the backyard and a brother to break the wall in those big rich families? It can be said that it will basically exist in every family. It's just that it depends on the big things.
Liu Xian himself, in fact, it is difficult to make a bowl of water even, there are many women around him, is it possible that he can really give so much love to everyone, and can be fair and just to everyone?
I'm afraid it's really hard.
In this way, Ma Guiren and Tao Qiuhong both believe that no matter how Liu Xian appears and the girls, some rules still have to be established. Some ancestral rules, the existence is reasonable, is reasonable.
At least, in this name, it is necessary to distinguish priorities, as for how Liu Xian and them get along in private, that is Liu Xian and her. If Liu Xian and them are together, they can all love each other and be beautiful, then it is naturally the best.
If we live happily together, then why care about these superficial names?
Therefore, Kong Xue is still Liu Xian's eldest wife, and Cai Yan is the second wife of the flat wife.
This is also considering that Kong Rong and Cai Yong are both famous people in the world, and Liu Xian, the young master of the Plains Palace, is a good match for them, which is quite suitable.
Zhang Ning and Huang Wudie are concubines in name, but in terms of name, they are the third lady and the fourth lady respectively. In this regard, Zhang Ning and Huang Wudie did not have any opinions, and gladly accepted it.
In the afternoon, Liu Xiancai picked up the four girls from the Plains Palace.
Use Liu Xian's carriage to pick it up together.
Naturally, some hired mothers-in-law distributed candy to some onlookers and crowds along the way.
According to the customs and etiquette of this era, when I returned to the Wuyong Houfu, the lively atmosphere also reached its peak.
Liu Xian was in front of the mansion, and carried four brides with red hijabs into the mansion one by one, and these were indispensable.
Then, Liu Xian led the four girls with a red ribbon and went to the hall together.
Ma Gui and Tao Qiuhong represent the high halls of men and women respectively.
Liu Xian and the four daughters officially worshipped heaven and earth, and from then on, Liu Xian and them were officially legal husband and wife in this world.
After completing the marriage ceremony, it is sent to the cave room.
In the laughter of the guests, the four girls were sent back to the backyard and sent to their small attic.
Then, Liu Xian came out again and toasted the guests.
At this time, Ying'er and Diao Chan also started their performances.
Liu Xian married four daughters at one time, which naturally made many people envious.
However, because the bride was covered with a red hijab, I couldn't see the bride's face.
When Ying'er and Diao Chan came out to perform for them, this really feasted their eyes.
It can be said that the beauty of Ying'er and Diao Chan directly stunned people.
Then I watched their performances, which was really amazing.
Especially Diao Chan, Liu Xian's Marquis Wuyong's mansion still has such a beautiful woman who captivates the country and the city?
This directly makes people a little uneasy.
