Chapter 175: The Day of the Big Wedding
Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "What Yuan Gong said is very true, in the troubled times, it is indeed necessary to act quickly and simply, then the wedding day will be set on the second day of the first month!" ”
Yuan Yin bowed his hand and said: "With Cao Gong's words, Xiao Lao'er is relieved, and I will let people go to pass the message and tell Yao'er about this happy event." The wedding day is set on the second day of the first month, and when my team arrives in Anhui County, it is almost February, so this wedding day is set on the second day of the first month of February! Now that the date has been set, I can also let Yao'er spill the invitation and prepare early! ”
"Okay, then this matter is so decided, the wedding date is on the second day of the first month, and the wedding day is on the second day of the second month of the second month!"
……
Time flies, and soon a new year is ushered in, the fifth year of Jian'an, that is, 200 AD!
Since Yuan Yao dealt with the matter of flying pigeons, he delegated all kinds of affairs and began to prepare for the big wedding, Yuan Yao and Wenwu have been looking forward to this matter for a long time, and now Yuan Yao is finally going to marry, and the three counties of Lujiang are finally going to usher in the main mother, and their subordinates will naturally not disturb Yuan Yao in this matter.
Yuan Yao spent the rest of the four years of Jian'an very plainly, the second day of the first month is the day when Cao Cao married his daughter, it takes about ten days to come to Jiujiang County from Xudu, and the convoy will arrive in Xiangxian County before the fifteenth day of the first month. Yuan Yao was ready to greet the convoy when it arrived at the border of Jiujiang, so he stationed in the area of Dongcheng and did not return to Anhui County this New Year.
Fortunately, there is still Liu Ye in charge of Anhui County, even if Yuan Yao does not return to Anhui County, it is not a big problem, Liu Ye has already begun to renovate the state pastoral mansion to distribute wedding cards, and is ready to prepare for Yuan Yao's wedding.
On the second day of the first month, Xu Du.
Now it is still the Spring Festival, and the city of Xudu is naturally very lively, and today is the time when Cao Cao marries his daughter, and the city of Xudu is naturally more lively. Not only did all the officials in the court go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to celebrate this event for Cao Cao, but even the Son of Heaven issued an edict to crown Guanyin as the county monarch.
Now there has been a lot of discussion about Cao Cao's marriage in the city of Xudu, and everyone says that Cao Cao has prepared a dowry of 3,000 cars and nearly 10,000 slaves, known as 3,000 red makeup, to be used as a daughter! After Cao Cao learned about this, he almost vomited blood, he was about to start a big battle with Yuan Shao, and he urgently needed money and food as a supply at this time, where did he have the spare strength to prepare three thousand red makeup for Guanyin, didn't this mean that he would want his old life!
And the marriage between him and Yuan Yao is a last resort, even if the two families marry, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not become rivals in the future, and now let him give Yuan Yao so much dowry, isn't this an enemy!
Cao Cao also guessed that this matter must be a rumor from Yuan Yao, but at this time, this matter has become a trend, and it is difficult to suppress it anymore.
Cao Cao couldn't lose face, so as not to lose his prestige, he could only grit his teeth and prepare a dowry of 3,000 cars and nearly 10,000 slaves as a dowry, and when the convoy of 3,000 cars drove out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the entire Xu Capital suddenly shook!
Xu Du Junjie is now eager to eat Yuan Yao, this special girl not only picked a flower in Xu Ducheng, but also has so many dowries, if this good thing hits his head, he can save decades of struggle!
After the convoy left the city, Cao Cao accompanied the convoy with Jiang Ji, a Jianghuai person, as an envoy, and ordered Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan to continue to bring 5,000 elite cavalry as guards, and ordered them to escort the convoy to Jiujiang before returning.
……
The sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
There are too many wedding vehicles in the convoy, and the wind and snow north of Huaishui are relatively large, and many roads are slippery and difficult to walk, so the speed of the convoy is much slower than usual, until the sixteenth day of the first month, the convoy can be regarded as arriving in the area of Xiangxian.
After getting the scout report, Yuan Yao had already led the guards to the border of the two states to wait for the convoy, and the convoy saw that Yuan Yao led the army in front, so it stopped at the border of the two states, Yuan Yao ordered the army to wait in place, and he took Yue Yun and the two horses forward to meet everyone.
Jiang Ji, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and other people from the Cao family, and Yuan Yin, Yang Zaixing and other people from Yuan Yao's side, saw Yuan Yao come to greet him in person, and hurriedly greeted him.
Jiang Ji and the three saluted and said, "I'll wait to meet General Hou!" ”
Yuan Yin and the two bowed: "I'll wait to see the lord!" ”
Yuan Yao hurriedly dismounted and bowed back, and said, "Hahahaha, everyone please hurry up, it's really hard for you to come from afar!" ”
Jiang Ji stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "Hahahaha, congratulations to General Hou, as long as we can promote the great joy of Cao Gong and the general, even if we work hard, it doesn't matter!" ”
Cao Ren looked at Yuan Yao carefully a few times, and said: "I have long heard that people have talked about the great name of the general, you can lay the foundation of the three counties of Lujiang in a short period of time, which is also extraordinary, and you can barely be worthy of Guanyin!" Guanyin is my lord of the Cao clan and my sister of Cao Ren, if you dare to treat him poorly, I will lead the army to seek justice for her in the future! ”
Yuan Yao was slightly stunned when he heard Cao Ren's words, and then replied with a smile: "Brother Cao is polite, just a slight name, not worth boasting about, General Cao and General Xiahou followed Cao Gong to fight in the south and the north and the east and west, and made countless achievements, this is the real heroic act, Yuan Yao is not as good as the two brothers!" The two brothers, but please rest assured, they will never treat Guanyin lightly, and they will definitely cherish it as a beautiful jade pearl every day! ”
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling face head-on.
Seeing that Yuan Yao was so good at talking, Cao Ren smiled and said, "Hmph! If you kid can talk, this person will be handed over to you! ”
Xiahou Yuan also bowed his hand and replied: "Zixiao and I still want to return to Xudu to reorganize the soldiers and horses to prepare for the big battle after the Spring Festival, so we will not continue to go south, this place is still hundreds of miles away from Anhui County, the general is careful on the road!" Mr. Zitong "Jiang Ji's Word" will follow the convoy to Anhui County, and the general can find Mr. Zitong if he has something. ”
Yuan Yao also knew that the military situation was urgent at this time, and Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, as Cao Cao's heavy generals, would definitely not waste much time, so he replied: "The battlefield is dangerous, the two generals should also be more careful, I will see you again in the future!" ”。
"Mr. Zitong, please hand over the convoy for my army, and I'll continue to set off later!"
After Yuan Yao led the guards to pick up the convoy of relatives, the convoy set off again and went straight to Anhui County......
