Brother Liu Lan.

Gently caressed Liu Lan's cheeks and looked at his sleeping appearance, but why were his eyes so red.

Brother Liu Lan.

Shaking Liu Lan's broad chest, trying to wake him up, but the person in the dream was still asleep, looking at his heartbroken and frowning in the dream, a touch of sadness floated in his heart, and he muttered: "Brother Liu Lan, do you have anything sad to say to Xiaoyu."

"I really want to know?" Liu Lan, who woke up slowly, smiled evilly, and said with a ruffian look at her.

"Brother Liu Lan, if you have anything to say, just say to Xiaoyu, don't ...... alone"

Zhao Yu lowered his head with blushing cheeks, and said shyly: "Whether it is happiness or pain, Xiaoyu is willing to share it with you." ”

"Light rain."

Liu Lan hugged her emotionally in his arms and stroked her hair tenderly and lovingly.

Zhao Yu's heart was filled with the taste of happiness, looking up at him, and when the love was deep, he gradually wanted to kiss together.

"Light rain."

Suddenly, a voice with three points of anger and seven points of anger sounded, and said, "Xiaoyu, you know that the two of us are going to get married, why do you have to do this." ”

"Sister Jiang."

Zhao Yu broke free of Liu Lan, lowered his head, and said embarrassedly: "I, I ......"

"Light rain, light rain?" On the carriage, Zhen Jiang pushed Zhao Yudao.

"Sister Jiang, I ......"

Zhao Yu screamed "ah" and found that all this was just a nightmare, woke up slowly, looked at Zhen Jiang who cast a strange gaze on the side, and felt weak in his heart, he didn't dare to look directly at her, and he was even more afraid that she would see the little secret in her heart and lower her eyes.

"It's going to be Xiangping soon." Zhen Jiang didn't notice anything abnormal. It just woke up and said quietly.

"So fast?"

Although Zhao Yu said so. But her mind has long since drifted out of the sky, since Liu Lan said goodbye. This strange dream was always with him, and he would dream about it every night, even during the day, so that he was distracted from time to time during the past six months.

She tried her best to control herself not to dream like this again, to think about such things again, and later she knew that Brother Liu was going to marry Sister Jiang, and she wanted to control it even more, but the more he was like this, the more he missed him.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. Suddenly, she was shocked, remembered what Sister Zhen said before, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Jiang just said, are we almost in Xiangping?" ”

"Yes, it's coming soon." Zhen Jiang couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and smiled and opened his way.

"So fast?" Zhao Yu muttered in his heart, how could it be so fast?

The closer she got to Xiangping, Zhao Yu became more and more nervous in her heart, she didn't know how to face Liu Lan, and now he was a little afraid to see Liu Lan. What if he saw his thoughts?

The road is the same road, both are the way to Xiangping, but Zhao Yu thinks the road is too close and Zhen Jiang thinks the road is too far.

In fact, the road in the world does not matter, whether it is a broad road or a rough road. It's just a matter of how the traveler walks, as long as the belief is firm, it is as difficult as the Shu Road. There will be an end to it......

The mighty convoy drove into Xiangping County, and the people who heard the wind came to watch along both sides of the street. Frequently pointing at the convoy, as if he had seen some novel ornaments.

More than 500 truckloads of goods and thousands of people in the caravan. Among them, there were thousands of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the national soldiers of Xiangping County to protect them, only to hear a middle-aged man in the crowd praise: "Whose family is this married daughter, is it so generous?" Even the county soldiers of Xiangping have to come to act as guards? ”

"Haven't you heard? This is the eldest daughter of our Liu Taishou and Zhongshan Zhen family. ”

Saying that, the thumbs of the left and right hands were paired, and everyone smiled knowingly, only to hear the man continue: "Mrs. Liu is married, and it is natural to send some county soldiers to escort her. ”

A person next to him chimed in: "Yes, on the way, I met some Xiaoxiao who was not satisfied with Wang Hua, how dare you use your brains against such a convoy." ”

Suddenly, one person exclaimed, "Isn't that Liu Taishou?" I actually came to greet him. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and saw Liu Liulan dressed in civilian clothes, riding a pony and talking in a low voice with the strange young man on the side.

"Hey, why did Liu Junshou go west? Don't you go back to the government? When everyone heard the man say this, they had already noticed the strange route of the convoy, "If they don't go back to the palace, where are they going?" ”

"Haven't you heard? The Zhen family bought the courtyard of the Li family in the west of the city, and I heard that it cost this amount. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and said, "It's five hundred taels of gold, I heard that when the Li family bought this courtyard, it only cost half of it, and it was doubled by this transfer." ”

"What is the origin of this Zhen family, so arrogant?"

"Hmph."

One of them sneered: "The Zhen family is a famous family in Jizhou, although the family is in the middle, but it is not comparable to ordinary people. ”

glanced at the person in front of him with disdain, and said, "The courtyard of the Li family can be regarded as our Xiangping, right?" As he spoke, he stretched out his thumb, and after seeing everyone nodding, he said: "I heard that the courtyard of the Zhen family in Jizhou is more than two or three times larger than that of Master Li's house." ”

"Two or three times? How big is that? The crowd exclaimed.

"How can there be such a big courtyard, do you think you are talking about the imperial city?"

I don't know who said this, but everyone covered their mouths and didn't answer, and hurriedly scattered......

The group stopped in front of the door of the big courtyard with Zhen Mansion written on it, Liu Lan and Zhen Yu entered the living room together, and after the guests and hosts were seated, Liu Lan said: "Berning is really generous, he didn't know that I bought such a huge courtyard." "Although the transaction only needs to be agreed by the buyer and the seller, the key point is that it needs to be filed with the government, this matter should be handled by Xiangping County, and the county officials can make a decision, and such a small matter does not need to be reported like the county order, but even if it is reported, the county order Jian Yong went to Zhongshan early in the morning, and if Liu Lan, the Taishou of Liaodong, will not know that the Zhen family bought a courtyard in Xiangping.

"This was requested by my mother to serve as a maiden family temporarily."

Since it is temporary, why buy such a compound, Liu Lan smiled bitterly and said: "But with more than 500 carts of goods and more than 1,000 families, this dowry is too luxurious, right?"

"Deran was hired with 10,000 gold, how can my Zhen family's dowry be less? Even ordinary people have one-third or two-thirds of these goods. What's more, it's my Zhen family. ”

Liu Lan was shocked in his heart, he thought that only the Song Dynasty married a daughter was so extravagant. I don't want to be the same in the Han Dynasty, and I think of Liu Bei marrying Mi in history. Immediately relieved.

Zhen Yu's voice was suddenly lowered, and he said mysteriously: "When my mother was leaving, I hoped that Deran's wedding would not be too public. ”

"It's true." Liu Lan looked at Zhen Yu, lowered his voice, and said, "I also have this intention, after all, Zhongshan is still under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shao." ”

"Okay, good, Deran can say that, the Zhen family is very grateful."

"I just don't know what number of days I chose?"

"When she was leaving, my mother asked the best warlock and counted it. The twenty-fifth day of the month is called the "chaotic year", because after sending away the god Vesta, it is not until Chinese New Year's Eve that the god Vega is welcomed back, so during this period of time, there is no god in the world, there is no taboo, this day is the most suitable for marriage, but this road was delayed, so it delayed for a while, and reached Liaodong. I found a warlock to see the date, but this time I chose the ninth day of the next month, and I got married. ”

"The ninth day of next month?" Liu Lan thought in his heart: "Isn't there more than ten days left?" ”

"Yes, Deran, you have to hurry up and prepare."

The two immediately discussed the details, and after Liu Lan went to see Zhen Jiang. After leaving the hall, I asked the maid in the house a little bit, and I came to the door of Zhen Jiang's boudoir. However, no matter how he called the door, the door never opened. The anxious Liu Lan shouted outside the house: "Jiang'er, open the door quickly." I know you're in there. ”

Zhao Yu was shocked when he heard Liu Lan's shout, and when he saw that Zhen Jiang was going to open the door in a hurry, he was in a hurry, but he was in a hurry, and hurriedly stopped Zhen Jiang and said, "Sister Jiang, have you forgotten what your wife said when she was leaving?" How can a new daughter-in-law steal a meeting with the groom? If this is known to outsiders, won't you laugh at Sister Jiang and Brother Liu Lan? ”

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became: "Besides, the two of you are going to get married in a few days, can't you even wait for these days?" Zhen Jiang was moved by Zhao Yu's words, and immediately ordered his personal maid Guo Yuer to go out and inform Liu Lan of the original situation.

The door finally opened, Liu Lan showed a smiling face, but just as he was about to raise his feet to enter the house, he didn't want Zhen Jiang's personal maid Guo Yuer to move out of the room lightly, and then covered the door again, and couldn't help but say hurriedly: "What does this mean?" ”

"New aunt, don't think about left."

Guo Yuer saw Liu Lan pacing anxiously at the door, and said with a smile: "My young lady said that the wedding is imminent, how can there be a private tryst between the groom and the bride, if it is spread out, I am afraid that it will not have a good reputation for the new aunt." She covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Miss also said that the new aunt will definitely be able to wait for these few days, and then the new aunt will be able to see enough." ”

Since Zhen Jiang said so, what else could Liu Lan say: "Wait, of course you can wait." "Then with Zhen Jiang in the house; Outside the house, Guo Yuer, a maid with a three-point appearance, said goodbye and left.

It's spring again, and the catkins are fluttering; Junzizhu is still proud, Liu Lan, who is in a good mood, returns to the mansion with everyone, one side of the mansion is the mansion of Liaodong County, there are two compartments in the mansion, one door leads to the courtyard, which is the temporary residence of the guests, and the other side is the inner house, and if you want to enter the inner house, you must enter from the main entrance, and the two are not connected.

But Liu Lan did not live in the inner courtyard, at this time the inner courtyard has been arranged as a marriage room, at this moment he and Guan Zhang and others live in the wing room, just entered the room, then heard someone outside the house call the door, open the door to see, it turned out to be a jaw to see.

Let him come into the house and sit down with the guests, Liu Lan didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile, he knew in his heart where Zhang Jaw came from, and naturally sold Guanzi, and Zhang Jaw saw that he didn't ask about his intentions, and he was immediately anxious, he had been delayed for a month, and he was afraid that he would not be able to leave if he didn't mention it because of the situation, but he was about to speak, but was interrupted by Liu Lan waving his teacher: "Jun Yi is here, do you want to leave?" ”

"Exactly."

Zhang Jaw no longer beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "Since Liu Junshou has clearly come down to care, Jun Yi will not say more." ”

"I'm afraid that Junyi won't be able to leave." Liu Lan looked at Zhang Jaw and smiled.

"Could it be that Liu Junshou wants to stay behind?" He stood up.

"Exactly."

Liu Lan didn't care about the indignant look of Zhang Jaw, and said with a smile: "Jun Yi should have heard that the Zhen family sent someone today, and he will marry the Zhen family in more than ten days, so I want to force Jun Yi to drink a glass of wedding wine, I don't know if Jun Yi will appreciate his face!" ”

"This ......"

Zhang Jaw hesitated for a long time, sighed in his heart, and said: "Since this is the case, then the handsome man will stay to disturb a cup." Then he took his leave and left. (To be continued.) )

PS：~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PS: The extravagance of marriage in the Han Dynasty also attracted the attention of the ruling class. The Salt and Iron Conference of Emperor Zhao of the Western Han Dynasty once pointed out that "bury the dead family, marry a woman full of cars; The rich want to live, and the poor want to live; The rich are empty, and the poor are called loans". It can be seen how much harm the extravagant marriage custom brought to people's lives in the Han Dynasty. Especially the woman's dowry, think about the history when Liu Bei married Mi, Mi's dowry can be seen.
