Chapter 445: Come and get married
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
If you say it and splash the water, how can the dignified and true king go back on his word? Especially such a major event as a children's marriage! Liu Yang had promised in front of Liu Zhi that he would marry Liu Xiu, but now his three daughters refused to marry Liu Xiu, and Liu Yang's hair was almost white. The reason why Liu Yang chose to support Liu Xiu and even married Liu Xiu was, of course, his way
Reason.
First of all, compared with Liu Xuan, Wang Lang is more optimistic about Liu Xuan. After all, Liu Xuan captured the capital Chang'an and controlled most of the country, while Wang Lang was only in a corner, and in terms of overall strength, Wang Lang was indeed far inferior to Liu Xuan.
Secondly, Liu Xiu's forces are next to his Zhending Kingdom, and once they fall out, war will break out immediately.
Liu Xiu is notoriously powerful in battle, his generals are like clouds, in Kunyang, even the 400,000 reckless army was defeated by Liu Xiu, can his 100,000 Zhending army be Liu Xiu's opponent?
Liu Yang chose Liu Xiu after careful consideration. It's just that his three daughters are too angry, crying, making trouble and hanging themselves, and no one wants to marry Liu Xiu.
When Liu Yang was worried, the greeting post sent by Liu Xiu arrived in Zhending City first.
After receiving Liu Xiu's greetings, Liu Yang immediately understood that Liu Xiu's side accepted his proposal, but on his side, the matter was still unresolved.
Liu Yang summoned his three daughters again, and this time he also made a rare face in front of his daughters, and said with a sinking face: "In a few days, Da Sima will arrive in Zhending City......
"What a big Sima, it's a great Sima thing!" The third daughter, Liu Keqing, muttered in a low voice.
Liu Yang's old face sank, glared at his little daughter fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, just talk about it in private, if anyone talks nonsense in front of Da Sima, don't blame the father for not thinking about the relationship between father and daughter!" ”
Seeing that the father was really angry, the three kings and daughters shrank their necks and didn't dare to say more.
Liu Yang glanced at the third daughter again, and said: "When Da Sima arrives in Zhending City, my father will invite Da Sima to the mansion for a banquet, and at that time, you will also meet Da Sima by the way." ”
Although he had never met Liu Xiu, he had heard Liu Zhi describe Liu Xiu's appearance, handsome, graceful, quite elegant, and a humble gentleman.
In Liu Yang's opinion, if what Liu Zhi said is true, then Liu Xiu and his daughter can meet in private, and maybe things can turn around.
As soon as his words fell, the eldest daughter Liu Keyan was surprised: "Father, it's not good for the daughters to go to the front court for a banquet, right?" ”
Liu Yang said patiently: "When the time comes, I will take Da Sima to the backyard, and you can prepare some refreshments." ”
The eldest daughter Liu Keyan, the second daughter Liu Kexin, and the youngest daughter Liu Keqing glanced at each other, and their faces invariably showed a look of boredom.
It seems that the father is determined to pick one of the three sisters this time and marry Liu Xiu, the mud-legged man from Nanyang.
"Father, what's so good about Liu Xiu? Why did his father treat him differently? ”
"That's it! Father Wang is the dignified King of Zhending, with more than 100,000 troops under his command, are you still afraid that he will not succeed? ”
"Father......" "Shut up for me!" Liu Yang took the case, glared angrily at the three daughters who were spoiled by him, and said word by word: "Father has promised Da Sima to form a family with Da Sima, and this matter will definitely not be changed, this time, my father will not."
If you let your temperament go, you can marry, or if you don't, you will marry! After speaking, Liu Yang flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked away.
The three sisters of the Liu family looked at each other, Liu Keqing stomped her feet angrily, and said, "Even if Liu Xiu comes to the house, I won't go to see him!" ”
Liu Kexin's eyes rolled, and she smiled at Liu Keyan: "The eldest sister is known for her literary talents, and when the time comes, you can find an opportunity to ridicule Liu Xiu and let him retreat." ”
When Liu Keqing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Liu Keyan with Liu Kexin. The latter looked thoughtful, pondered for a long time, and nodded, as if he had thought of something. Two days after the post was sent to Zhending City, Liu Xiu and his party arrived in Zhending City. Now the relationship between the two sides is still in a hostile state, but Liu Xiu did not bring many people, except for Wu Han, Jia Fu, Zhu You, Xi Zun, Liu Zhi, Long Yuan, Xu Ying and others
Outside, the rest of the entourage was dozens of people, and the entire team was not even a hundred.
Only bringing such a few people into Zhending not only shows Liu Xiu's sincerity to the marriage between the two parties, but also shows his trust in Liu Yang.
Upon learning of Liu Xiu's arrival, Liu Yang, in order to show his respect, personally led the county officials and two thousand cavalry out of the city to greet him.
After the two sides met, Liu Zhi walked up to Liu Yang, smiled and said, "King Zhending!" As he spoke, he waved his hand to Liu Xiu, who came up, and said, "This is my father-in-law, Da Sima!" ”
Liu Yang hurriedly raised his eyes and saw a handsome young man with a tall figure striding away towards him. Look closely at the appearance of this young man, his cheeks are angular, his eyebrows are tiger-eyed, the bridge of his nose is high, his lips are bright and his teeth are bright, and his lips are square.
After seeing Liu Xiu's appearance, Liu Yang's face immediately showed a look of joy, and he said secretly, what a handsome and personable young man, what Bo Xian said is indeed true!
Now Liu Yang is looking at Liu Xiu completely with the psychology of his father-in-law looking at his son-in-law.
At the same time, Liu Xiu was also looking at Liu Yang. Liu Yang is in his forties, his appearance is very delicate, he is extremely well maintained, his face is full of red, his skin is shiny, and in terms of appearance alone, he will be several years younger than his actual age.
After the two sides looked at each other, their eyes met, Liu Xiu stepped forward, bowed his hand, and said, "Under Liu Xiu, meet King Zhending!" ”
Liu Yang hurriedly returned the salute, and then laughed and said, "This king has admired Da Sima for a long time!" In the past, I only heard his name, but I didn't see it, but today I can see the deity, and it is really a talent, heroic and extraordinary, and it is the dragon and phoenix among people! ”
"King Zhending is too awarded!" Liu Xiu said with a smile on her face, neither humble nor arrogant. His attitude is just right, neither too enthusiastic, as if I have to go up the pole to slap you to the king, nor too cold, people have already come, which means that they accept the marriage between the two parties, so don't pretend to be high and pretentious
The appearance of the mortal.
Liu Yang is very satisfied with Liu Xiu's attitude of not being overly enthusiastic, but not particularly cold, and not shocked by honor and disgrace. He nodded secretly, such a Liu Xiu, where does he look like a village man, he is even more like a noble son than a noble son!
He turned sideways and said with a smile: "This king has prepared the carriage, Da Sima, please move!" ”
"King Zhending, please first!" "Da Sima, please!"
The two politely greeted each other and got into the carriage together. The carriage was semi-open, surrounded by a fence and topped by a shed. Sitting in the car, you can clearly see both the outside and the inside of the car.
Zhending country is not big, but Zhending City is not small, and the scene in the city is also very prosperous. For a long time, Zhendingguo has been supporting the army and self-respecting, don't look at the rebel armies in Hebei all over the country, but no rebel army has ever dared to enter the Zhending country, which is a third of an acre, and the people in its territory live and work in peace and contentment, and the scenes everywhere are peaceful
。
To be honest, it was the first time Liu Xiu had seen such a peaceful place since he entered Jizhou. So don't look at Liu Yang's attitude is always wavering, it seems that he is a person with a weak personality, but in fact, he is still very capable.
Seeing Liu Xiu's gaze looking out of the car from time to time, Liu Yang smiled and asked, "How does Da Sima think it is really Dingcheng?" ”
Liu Xiu said truthfully: "It's really set in Jizhou, like a fairyland." ”
When Liu Yang heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his back, waved his hand and said: "Da Sima is too awarded, this king is really ashamed!" Having said that, Liu Yang's heart is still very useful, and his impression of Liu Xiu has improved a few points.
As the carriage marched through the city, there were many onlookers on both sides of the street, and as far as the eye could see, there was a surge of people, and if it were not for a large number of soldiers to stop it, the carriage would have been unable to move an inch in the street.
People stood on tiptoe, craned their necks, and scrambled to look, occasionally exchanging heads and pointing at the carriage.
For Liu Xiu, most of the people are full of curiosity, and when they see him today, the first feeling of the people is that they are young, and the second feeling is that they are handsome.
The carriage passed through the main street of Zhending City and came directly to the Zhending Palace.
After getting off the carriage, Liu Yang invited Liu Xiu into the house.
Zhending Wangfu, said to be a mansion, is actually similar to a palace. The house in the vestibule is large and magnificent, and the window edges are inlaid with glass, even if you enter the lobby, you don't need to light wax, and the light in the hall is very bright.
The floor of the lobby is an ebony floor, black and bright, like a mirror. Even people's seats are soft and elastic, and kneeling on them feels very comfortable.
The small square tables in front of people are all made of ebony, finely carved, delicate and atmospheric, and the rows of pillars in the lobby are carved with various Rui beasts, and each pillar is not the same.
The inside and outside of the Zhending Palace, there are two words, noble.
After everyone was seated, people from both sides introduced each other. It was only at this time that Liu Yang looked seriously at the entourage brought by Liu Xiu.
The images of Wu Han, Jia Fu, and Sai Zun are all excellent, if you want to say that it is a little worse, there is only Zhu You, but even Zhu You is also chubby, which gives people a very festive feeling.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries and talked about scenes. The greetings were almost over, Liu Yang ordered his subordinates to bring up wine and food, and at the same time, he also called Kabuki to cheer up.
During the banquet, the two sides only talked about some inconsequential trivial matters, and did not talk about the marriage between the two parties at all.
This made Liu Zhi frown secretly, the last time he went to make a real decision, Liu Yang was very concerned about the marriage between the two parties, but this time the lord came in person, he didn't mention this matter, could it be that something changed?
His eyes drifted to Liu Yang's side, Liu Yang naturally noticed it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, not that he didn't want to mention the marriage, but that his three daughters were too angry.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Liu Yang took the initiative to invite Liu Xiu to go to the back garden to enjoy the flowers. Liu Xiu did not refuse, only took one of Long Yuan's entourage, and followed Liu Yang to the backyard of the palace.
When I got to the back garden, I looked at the white expanse. The snow on the ground is white, and the flowers that bloom from the snow are also white. Liu Yang smiled and asked, "Does Da Sima know this flower?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be iron chopsticks." Hearing his words, Liu Yang's eyes lit up, and he was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a giggling sound from in front of him, and a woman said in a coquettish voice: "Da Sima has good eyesight!" ”
