More than 700 people shouted in unison:

"I am willing to die for the Lord!"

Though they are numerous,

But the slogans shouted at this time are completely consistent,

Without the slightest clutter,

It's as if it's been rehearsed countless times beforehand.

Lu Bu nodded,

Stretch out your hand and signal everyone to get up,

Then he glanced around at everyone present,

Lang Sheng said:

"Alright, friends and relatives, the auspicious time is near, and let's perform today's ritual first."

As soon as Lu Bu's voice fell,

Suddenly, the ceremonial musician next to him played the festive wedding music,

The atmosphere in the whole square was cheerful again.

When the music is a little weaker,

Lu Bu's arms slowly spread out from the front to both sides,

And then slowly close,

Raise your arms and hold bamboo slips in front of your chest.

He is the presiding officer of this mass wedding,

That is, the master of ceremonies of the Hereafter,

However, in the Han Dynasty,

This position has a special title for "Liker".

The wedding ceremonies of the Han Dynasty were different from those of later generations.

The whole ceremony was carried out completely under the auspices of the Zanist,

Even the protagonist of the wedding - the newlyweds,

During the whole ceremony,

and they will all say nothing,

Completely at the command of the Praiser,

Complete a complete set of processes,

These young people who are getting married today are special,

Therefore, Lu Buli disagreed,

Personally serve as the celebrant of this wedding,

At the same time, the newcomers were pleasantly surprised,

also brought trouble to Lu Bu himself,

The wedding process of the Han Dynasty is too cumbersome and complicated.

Although Lu Bu has experienced,

But to get involved and personally host,

But it's definitely two concepts.

In the past few days, Lu Bu has specially consulted many experienced praisers,

At this point, I still feel a little nervous.

Settle down,

Lu Bu saw the expectant and trusting eyes of everyone in the audience,

Suddenly threw that trace of nervousness out of the clouds.

Lang Sheng said:

"But the earth to open, all things nourish in Si, the day by its essence, the moon runs its flower, the mystery of the ceremony is contained in it, people to the wedding to set their ceremony, three prisons and food, together with the volume of drinking, since the rites of the line, even the reason, than the wings, although all difficulties and dangers and swear and suffering, indulgence and suffering glory and swear and abandon, look up like a high mountain, its love of eternity, vast as the sky, its love of all generations, respect each other as a guest, each do its own courtesy, family harmony, unchanged is not easy, long time, for Erjiayuan, especially for praise."

Although Lu Bu's voice was loud,

But after all, the venue is very wide,

The number of people who attended the event was also very large.

However, Lu Bu's words clearly reached most Rao Er Zheng

The secret lies in the audience and in the whole square,

Several huge water tanks were placed,

so that the sound resonates through the water tank,

And then finally achieved the purpose of amplification,

This type of sound amplification was widely used in ancient times.

As Lu Bu's voice fell,

The room became very quiet,

Countless people looked forward to the newcomers in the square and Lu Bu on the stage.

Lu Bu looked straight at him, his face was solemn, and he said loudly:

"The marriage of two surnames, a contract, a good relationship forever, matching the same name. Look at the peach blossoms burning on this day, it is appropriate to have a room for IKEA, and the melons are full of melons in the year of Bu Ta, and Erchang is blazing. I would like to take the covenant of the white head, and write to the Hongjian, so that the alliance of red leaves will contain the mandarin spectrum. ”

Immediately afterwards, a team of maids appeared on both sides of the square,

Holding a yellow brocade silk in his hand,

Hand it to a pair of new raucists.

After Lu Bu saw that all the newcomers had obtained the golden book in their hands,

Then he spoke loudly:

"The work of dedication, the sum of the earth. Follow the wishes of the ancestors and relatives, from the will of the two. The bride and the bride are married today. Perform marriage gifts, swear to the ancestors, witness to relatives and friends. ”

Then the maids put away the brocade silk after writing,

Take out the wooden basin covered with a red towel and place it in front of Xinrao.

Lu Bu opened his mouth and announced:

"Bow to the Pot! The Chinese nation pays attention to cleanliness, and before going to prison, they must first wash their hands and faces. exchange with the royal exchange; The wife watered and washed the new son-in-law, and the royal watered and washed the bride. The women, that is, the couples, all sit and sacrifice. ”

As Lu Bu's voice fell,

The newlyweds kneeling on the futon stood upright,

The maid on the side lifted the red scarf on the wooden basin,

First water and wash the bridegroom,

Then he watered and washed the bride,

After the newlyweds have thanked the maids,

The maid took the basin away.

"Bow to the prison!"

Each new rao has a few in front of him,

There are three meat dishes on several cases,

These meat dishes are called "prisons".

Ancient Han Chinese food customs,

Similar to today's meal system,

One serving per person for each type of food.

Therefore, before the table of the bride and groom,

staple foods millet (sorghum) and millet (millet),

and a sauce for seasoning, a seasoning (a seasoning made of aquatic plants), a meat paste, and a meat gravy.

However, due to the special nature of the wedding,

Only one serving of meat dishes,

Put it between two meals,

For the bride and groom to eat together,

It's called "eating together".

Eat the flesh that has been taken from the same animal,

It symbolizes that the husband and wife share weal and woe.

The maid sandwiches a dish for the newlyweds,

Newcomers only taste one bite.

And so on until the three dishes have been tasted,

This is the end of the prison service.

"Bow together!"

The so-called merger,

Also known as drinking together,

Simply put, it is similar to the glass of wine in later generations,

However, during the Han Dynasty, it was much more complicated.

The ancients drank alcohol after a meal,

It is to rinse the mouth with wine,

Both to clean the mouth,

At the same time, it also has the effect of food safety.

This drinking is also exquisite,

There are three times, called three drinks.

Wine vessels for three drinks in the wedding,

The first two times were chewed with copper (a kind of wine vessel for wine in ancient times),

One last time with affection.

The so-called love is a scoop made of gourd (gourd) cut into a gourd,

Husband and wife take a piece and drink,

It is called drinking with reason.

The two copper chews used when closing at the same time,

Be connected with red wires,

A red flower in the middle,

The newlyweds first drank half a glass of wine each,

Then exchange cups,

Drink it all up,

This was the cup of love at the time.

Looking at the newcomers in the audience,

Begin to drink together,

Lu Bu said loudly on the stage:

"The first wine is poured to congratulate Xinjun, and Queqiao is a beautiful woman tonight. Holding the cup and handing over the cup, the high-ranking friends are full of happy newlyweds.

Pour wine again to congratulate the bride, and the beauty is better than Zhuang Jiang. The four virtues of romance and concession, the fifth should know Bu Qichang.

Three pours of wine Helan room, trance bridge set mandarin ducks. Slender and affectionate pink girl, talented and incomparably green. ”

After a pause, waiting for the maids to pack up everything,

Lu Bu then guided the ceremony to continue,

"Perform the salute of husband and wife, both men and women raise their hands and eyebrows, and husband and wife bow to each other four times."

With Lu Bu's voice,

All the newcomers change direction,

After facing each other,

With the command of the voice,

After bowing to each other four times, they got up,

But still facing each other.

"Perform the Rite of Relief! Ligui couple, easy to talk about. With yang Chenghua, than the moon is respected. ”

Then the bridegrooms stretched out their hands,

Untie the engagement token from the bride's head.

Then the bride and groom cut each other's hair.

Tie the strands of hair together,

The bridegroom puts the knotted hair into a cloth bag,

In advance, plum blossoms (representing loyalty), white rice (representing wealth and purity), mung beans (representing peace), glutinous rice (representing longevity, glutinous rice is commonly known as nine meters to take the sound of time), and lotus seeds (representing sons and descendants).

With vows, love is eternal, life and death depend on each other, and never separated.

The ancients paid attention to the parents of the body, hair and skin,

Not to be easily destroyed,

However, to measure whether a man is mature or not, he also takes starting a family as a criterion.

Therefore, at the time of the wedding,

In the process of debunking the reins,

There will be a strand of hair cut on both sides,

And tie your hair in one place,

This ceremony is also known as the knotting ceremony.

In the Hereafter, this is where the married couple comes from.

After all this,

After the cloth bag is properly put away,

Lu Bu then spoke loudly again:

"Hold your hand!"

All the newcomers are holding their hands together,

looked at each other affectionately,

A thousand words are all in his Zheng

Lu Bu's loud voice sounded again at this time,

"The long night is not young, and the light of the court is burning. A gentleman of words, a man of his clothes. Bimei Meng Jiang, Luan Sheng will be. Yan is like Shunhua, like Qingyang. Holding the hand of the son, and the son is together. ”

At the same time as the voice fell,

Three hundred and sixty-eight couples in the square,

At this moment, they said in unison:

"Death and life are broad, and the son is becoming. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. ”

Under the countless testimonies,

These three hundred and sixty-eight couples made an unswerving vow of love for this life,

At the same time, it also represents the official end of this grand group wedding.

Lu Brown said:

"The sun and the moon are revealed, the earth is learned, and the eternal union is concentric, and this life remains the same. So far, the wedding ceremony of 368 couples has come to an end! ”

Lu Bu's voice fell,

Suddenly there was a "dong dong" drum sound,

Represents the end of this grand group wedding ceremony,

Then the sound of the music sounded,

The ceremony of the wedding is over,

But the revelry of the people has just begun,

At the same time as Lu Bu announced the end,

The whole square immediately turned into a sea of joy,

Not only the newcomers in the square cheered,

Even many people wept with joy,

The crowds around to watch the ceremony,

At this time, they all collectively cheered and celebrated,

Celebrate these new people,

For a while, the entire Jinyang City was boiling.

However, Lu Bu did not participate in this joyful celebration,

After officiating at the end of the wedding process,

Lu Bu only stayed on the stage for a while,

Then he turned and left the square.

In Lu Bu's feelings,

Presiding over such a group wedding,

It's even better than when I was in the tiger prison,

A number of generals who fought alone against the princes of all walks of life,

It's a lot harder.

Though the sun is shining today,

But the winters in the north are really cold,

Those newcomers are okay,

To prevent them from being frosted,

In addition to the extraordinarily thick clothes on his body,

A few in front of you,

He also burned the fire with coals,

So though they meditated for a long time,

But I didn't feel that cold.

But Lu Bu is a person,

Standing alone on the rostrum to preside,

As a praiser,

In the process of hosting,

I can barely even move,

The whole ceremony lasted almost an hour,

That is,

Lu Bu was alone in the cold wind,

It stood motionless for an hour.

When I got back to the house,

Lu Bu hurriedly ran to the charcoal fire burning beside the stove,

I can't wait to stick my whole body directly on.

Fortunately, it is very warm in the house.

It didn't take long for Lu Bu to feel his stiff joints gradually recover.

"Squeak" a soft sound,

The door was gently pushed open,

A thin figure walked in slowly,

made a big salute to Lu Bu.

"My lord."

Lu Bu raised his eyes and looked,

At first sight,

Hurriedly got up and stepped forward to help:

"Mr. Lu, what do you mean by that?"

Lu Zhi smiled and stood up,

Opening:

"In the past two days, Zigan has carefully pondered the words and deeds of the lord, coupled with today's grand ceremony, so that the old man has made up his mind to seriously assist the lord."

Lu Bu's eyes lit up,

Hearing this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said:

"To be able to get the help of Mr. is really a blessing for the first, a blessing for the state, and a blessing for the common people."

Lu Zhi raised his head,

looked at Lu Bu carefully,

found that there was no contrived in his eyes,

Only then did he nod his head and said:

"The lord praises falsely, the old man can't afford it."

The two of them sat down as guests and hosts,

After chatting for a while,

Lu Zhi suddenly spoke:

"The lord is now in the Western Regions?"

Lu Bu took a sip of hot tea,

I only feel a warm current coming down from my mouth,

It made him very comfortable,

Only then did he nod and replied:

"That's right."

Lu Zhi pondered,

Then he asked:

"Where is the Lord's gaze?"

Lu Bu's pupils shrank when he heard this,

Turning his head and looking at Lu Zhi hesitantly,

Somewhat uncertain, he asked:

"What do you mean, sir?"

Lu Zhi glanced at Lu Bu deeply,

Then an unfathomable smile appeared on his face and said:

"Lord, now that Zigan is sincere, why don't you be honest with each other?"

Lu Bu slowly put down the teacup in his hand,

The mouth was also tightly closed,

The brow furrowed slightly,

Apparently thinking.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi said:

"First pacified the grassland, then stabilized the state, developed the people's livelihood, destroyed the foreign country, destroyed Dong Zhuo, and Pingliang Prefecture, and then made Yuan Shu the emperor, and now he wants to conquer the Western Regions. The lord is playing a big game of chess. ”

Lu Zhi's office is some of the deeds that Lu Bu has done over the years,

Most of these things are well-known things,

It's just that it came out of Lu Zhi's mouth at this moment,

But it makes people hear something unusual.

After a pause, Lu Zhi continued:

"Establish a heart for the earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations! The lord's ambition The old man no longer has any doubts, but after the old man participated in this group wedding today, he suddenly felt how big is the land of the lord? It seems that this big man is just a drop in the ocean in the eyes of the lord. ”

Lu Bu heard this,

But suddenly he smiled,

Sincerely salute Lu Zhi:

"Worthy of Mr. Zigan."

Slowly stood up,

Lu Bu came to the military map hanging by the wall,

This is a map drawn by the dark group after several years of careful exploration.

The annotations on it are very fine,

It almost encompasses the entire territory of the Han Dynasty.

Yes, this map can be regarded as one of the present.

The most detailed and comprehensive military map,

Not one of them.

Lu Bu stood with his hands in his hands and looked up at the map,

Suddenly, he said:

"There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people."
