"Wine-colored marriage, after tonight, my Liu Ji will be very different."

Holding a wine cup in his hand, Liu Ji, who has changed from a bearded man to a short-bearded man, is proud, today is his big day, friends from all over the world rushed to hear the news, Liu Ji is angry, and he has to receive them one by one, and when the sun is still at noon, he is drunk and his face is red.

Daddy Mrs. Liu passed by outside the house, changed his usual life, and rushed into the door a long time ago, scolding him with his head and covering his face, but today, he just made a mouth and didn't care about Liu Ji.

His widowed sister-in-law, as well as his second brother Liu Xi, used to look down on Liu Ji, but today he also put on a smiling face, helping to prepare for the wedding banquet, although he secretly had to scold him, marrying his good daughter to Liu Ji's Lu family, it was really blind!

So my mother Liu Yuan came in and persuaded Liu Ji: "Ji'er, don't drink anymore, you have to go to greet your relatives when you faint!" ”

"Isn't it too early?"

Liu Ji comforted his mother, who had gray hair and was over sixty years old: "Besides, my main marriage person Xiao Yipeng has not yet arrived!" ”

"You, this beautiful woman, live a good life, and don't mess around like before in the future." Liu Yuan was bitter, but when she thought of Liu Ji's good marriage, she couldn't help but smile crookedly.

I thought that my son would be single until he was old, or one day he would bring the widow Cao who had an affair with him, or Wang Yuan and Wu Cheng, who opened a wine shop, and came back to make do with it, but who expected that he would be able to marry a good woman!

She initially thought that the girl must be very ugly, so she was willing to marry Liu Ji, but she heard from people from Pei County that the eldest daughter of Duke Lu was very beautiful, and even the county order wanted to be a concubine......

This is really the blessing of the ancestors of the Liu family! Liu Yuan didn't think that this was her son's reason, and it could only be attributed to ghosts and gods.

Although Liu Ji was profligate, he also had a score in his heart, so he turned the cup upside down and kept the bottom line, not drunk unconscious like in the Surabaya Pavilion, in Wang Yuan and Wu Ying.

In the evening, he has business to do! Thinking of this, Liu Ji felt beautiful.

Sitting in his yard to sober up and drink, Liu Ji recalled the process of this family negotiation, and it was really like a dream......

His bride's name is Lu Pheasant, his father is called Lu Gong, Lu Gong has four children under his knees, the eldest son Lu Ze, the second son Lu Shizhi, the third daughter Lu Pheasant, and a younger daughter, who is only ten years old, Liu Ji doesn't care what her name is.

Lu Gong is a native of Shan Father County, and Shan Father is a neighboring county to the west of Pei County, which belongs to Dang County.

The Lu family is also a figure with a head and face in the single father, just because the eldest son Lu Ze is a hero in the single father, he provoked the enemy, and in order to avoid his trouble, he moved his family to Pei County.

The reason why he moved to Pei County was because Lu Gong was friends with Pei County Ling, who was also from Liangdi, and had a deep friendship.

Three months ago, after the Lu family moved to the selected mansion, they had a big banquet, and Lu Gong was a famous person in the neighboring county and an old friend of the county order, so the leaders of Pei County came one after another. The county order asked Xiao He to preside over the affairs of the reception, and the arrangement of the seats was distributed according to the amount of gifts, with those with more gifts going to the table, those with less than one thousand sitting outside the lobby.

Liu Ji was in Surabaya Pavilion at the time, and when he heard about it, he also went to join in the fun.

He rushed to the front of Lu Gong's new house, and saw that the amount of gifts given by the guests was written on the roster one by one, and he heard the little official in charge of the reception singing loudly about the amount of money for the gift, and the seats were up and down. Liu Ji touched his empty blanket, and most of his monthly rations were exchanged for money, and then he bought wine to drink with friends, but he didn't have a penny at the moment.

But Liu Ji is Liu Ji, he swaggered towards the gate of the Lu Mansion, snorted in his nose, and sang loudly: "Liu Ji, the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, congratulates him with 10,000 yuan!" ”

Then, ignoring the stunned little official, he went straight to the lobby and sat down in a good position.

For a while, in the front hall, the guests all looked at each other, and Lu Gong was also taken aback, got up from the hall, and personally greeted Liu Ji, wanting to see who this guest was.

In Pei County, being mediocre can get about 2,000 yuan a year. The small officials who fight for food have ninety-six stone rice a year, which is only about 3,000 when converted into copper coins. Pei County ordered the rank of 600 stones, and more than 1,000 dollars in January.

Therefore, every time a wedding or funeral is held, the number of money and gifts is generally measured in hundreds of dollars. After the 1,000 congratulatory gift, it is the gift of the guest. The congratulatory gift is measured in tens of thousands of dollars, which is already a number of transactions at the level of county officials and ministers, and it is rare for such a thing to happen in a small place in Pei County.

Xiao He knew that Liu Ji's family background would definitely not be able to afford 10,000 dollars, so he played a round for him and said: "Lu Gong, Liu Ji is a person who loves to talk big and has little success, don't take it seriously." ”

Lu Gong didn't think it was strange, smiled and didn't say anything, and carefully observed Liu Jilai.

This old man has a skill: to meet faces, but he saw Liu Jilong's accurate and dragon face, high nose and wide face, good looks, but ...... The beard is shorter.

But then Lu Gong sighed regretfully, and said secretly: "It's a pity, a beautiful beard is missing, otherwise, it will be really expensive!" ”

In Lu Gong's eyes, Liu Ji's originally good face seemed to be forcibly affected by some kind of sudden fortune and greatly discounted, but he was still the best among the people Lu Gong had ever seen.

Physiognomy is only the first impression, not necessarily accurate, Lu Gong returned to the main seat and began to observe Liu Ji's words and deeds.

But I saw that Liu Ji falsely reported the congratulatory gift and sat at the table, but he had no intention of blaming himself, and during the banquet, he was calm, making fun of the guests, commanding, and looking like a guest host. Lu Gong was secretly surprised and gave this person a label of "bold".

This alone is still not enough for Lu Gong to marry his daughter. Unexpectedly, Lu Ze, the eldest son of Duke Lu, actually knew Liu Ji, took the initiative to go over, and said something to him, both of them had been rangers, so they could make friends, and they had a good conversation for a while.

Lu Ze took the opportunity to change clothes and told his father, don't look at Liu Jiqiang, he is just a small pavilion chief, but he has a wide range of friends in Pei County, he is righteous and squandering money, and his reputation is very loud.

Their family came to avoid disasters and wanted to gain a foothold in Pei County, but it was not enough to rely on Pei Ling, who was also an outsider, and they also needed a local heroic figure to rely on.

But if it is too strong, it will become the Lu family attached to it, so it is necessary to choose a potential stock that is not prominent at present, but can be a party figure in the future......

"Wai Huang Zhang Er was poor at the beginning, but later he became prominent and powerful, did my father forget?"

In Lu Ze's view, although Wei is dead, Qin's rule on this side is just a façade, except for the three elders who talk about Qin law every day, the local heroes still have the final say......

Lu Gong knew it in his heart, and as soon as he and his eldest son summed it up, after the feast, he invited Liu Ji and made a proposal to marry his daughter.

This good thing hit the head, and with Liu Ji's ruined personality, of course he agreed!

The woman who delivered it to the door doesn't sleep in vain! I heard that the eldest daughter of Duke Lu is only twenty, which is much more beautiful than the old Zhuhuang Cao widow!

Although Duke Lu married his daughter very simply, it took three months to ask for the name and adopt etiquette afterwards. Under the control of the Lu family, Liu Ji ended his single life, and everyone knew that it was Liu Ji who climbed the Lu family......

……

Liu Ji didn't care, seeing that the sun was about to set, he shouted for the guests to enter, Fan Hao slaughtered the dog in the backyard, prepared meat, and his partner Lu Juan and others also came to help Zhang Luo's marriage. Liu Ji's social circle has seen results today, people from all over the country come, the small Liu Mansion is actually very lively, the yard can't be crowded, and the case is placed on the street.

The wedding time was at dusk, and the woman first went to the house that Lu Gong bought in Fengyi, saving Liu Ji from going to Pei County to welcome her relatives, but Xiao He, the person who was the main marriage, did not come for a long time, which made Liu Ji anxious......

He didn't panic, he just found a good friend, Pei County's pawn Shi Ren Ao, and said to him: "If Xiao Jun doesn't arrive for a while, you will enter the ...... for my lord."

While he was talking, Xiao He's carriage stopped outside the house.

Liu Ji hurriedly greeted everyone with him, but saw Xiao He's face full of dust and frost, and he was in a hurry at first glance.

Xiao He got out of the car, shook his clothes, and said lightly: "There was something in the county last night, so I came late, don't blame Liu Ji." ”

"How dare you blame it, Xiao Yanpeng, the hot water has been prepared, and the first room to bathe and change clothes."

Liu Ji warmly welcomed Xiao He into his home, and Xiao He was able to come, which was already giving him a lot of face.

But another guest invited by Liu Ji was nowhere to be found.

He looked behind Xiao He and said strangely, "What about Cao Xuanpeng?" Didn't come with Xiao Officer? ”

Xiao He thought of what Cao Shen said to him when he said goodbye, and said, "He has something to do, and he can't come." ”

Liu Ji didn't respect Cao Shen as much as Xiao He, and scolded in his mouth: "Today is Xiu Mu, what can I do!" Xiahou Ying, Ren Ao, and Xiao Yanpeng, aren't they all here, this old Cao is too faceless. ”

Xiao He just wanted to figure out what happened, so he said truthfully: "Brother Cao was requisitioned by the Jiaodong County Guard, and he is going to Jiaodong County to be a county official." ”

"The magistrate? Ascend! Liu Ji shouted exaggeratedly, but there was no envy in his heart, he was a person who had been to Xianyang, and after turning around, he found that his home was still strong.

Xiao He said with a smile: "This county guard, Liu Ji may know it." ”

"I know?"

Liu Ji laughed, thinking that the serious Xiao He would finally be able to say jokes: "That's right, of course I know, I not only know the Surabaya County Guard, but even His Majesty the Emperor, but unfortunately, they don't know me!" ”

Xiao He didn't think it was funny, and said solemnly: "This Jiaodong county guard is one of the three heroes of the crusade against the Huns. ”

Liu Ji's smile froze on his face.

"Could it be...... General Lieutenant? ”

Xiao He said: "It is Shaoshang Weijun, after he heard about your deeds in Pei County, he thought it was very interesting, so he asked the doorman to come with me, I wish you a newlywed Yan'er, and a congratulatory gift!" ”

"Wan ...... 10,000 ......"

Xiao He saw Liu Ji's eyes lose focus, and patted him: "Liu Ji, are you listening?" ”

"I'm fine, nothing ......"

Liu Ji laughed loudly as if nothing had happened, saying that the Jiaodong County Guard gave him a congratulatory gift for this little person, which was really a big face!

But when he turned around, Liu Ji's soul was almost scared! The previous pride, all gone! There is no longer the glamorous appearance of the bride under the candlelight in his mind, only the image of the black-faced Qin official who is facing him with a knife is left at the head of the Huangcheng back then! He put on the crown of the crane and became a big official, and if he wanted to kill Liu Ji, it would be like pressing an ant to death!

Lu Juan didn't open any pot and mentioned which pot: "Brother Ji, why is your face pale?" What's wrong? ”

"I ...... I have abdominal pain. ”

Liu Ji was in a hurry, covered his stomach and said that he wanted to go to the toilet, and asked the brothers to take Xiao He in first, and when he got into the stinky toilet, touching the short beard under his chin, Liu Ji scolded:

"Mother and maid, in order to hide from the black guy, Naigong even shaved his beard painfully, why was he still found it? Could it be that he has some magic that can see thousands of miles? also congratulated the gift of 10,000 dollars, this is to scare Naigong to death! ”
