Chapter 238: Bed Closing Ceremony?

Tang Yue wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Liu Hua, the princess of Wannian: "General Lu, I heard that there are two concubines in your family, and they have never given a concubine ceremony, that is, they are put at home, I don't know if you have ever told you this bride?" ”

Jin Liang was depressed, what is going on with these three royal ladies today, working together to sabotage, just as he wanted to say something, he felt that his hand was pinched by Zhen Jiang's force, Jin Liang had not yet reacted, but Zhen Jiang had already said to Liu Hua with a smile: "Princess, the two concubines of my husband are all unfortunate women who were rescued by my husband when they were in trouble, they thank my husband for saving his life, and I am willing to make a promise to each other, I and my eldest sister Cai Yan agree that my husband's family is thin, and he needs to have more wives and concubines and more heirs, So we all agreed that the husband took the two sisters home, as for not raising the gift of concubine, it is just a trivial matter, because the key to the gift of concubine is that the two sisters pour tea to us eldest women and ask for our consent, since I and the eldest sister have agreed, they can enter the Golden Mansion, as for the etiquette to make up a little, it is not too late.

Speaking of this, Zhen Jiang glanced at the Empress Dowager He Lian and Empress Tang Yue, and said with a light smile: "Actually, my husband met me six years ago, and I knew at that time that he was a merciful man everywhere, but I didn't mind, because no matter where he was there, he would still return to me in the end, I and him are still a veritable husband and wife, and the most pitiful thing is those women who have had a night with my husband but were forgotten by him." ”

Jin Liang couldn't stop coughing violently, coughing so much that he almost couldn't breathe.

Zhen Jiang squinted his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother He Lian: "Queen Mother, look, I said it, my husband is a thief!" ”

The Queen Mother He Lian hated it very much in her heart, but her face was very calm, and she pretended to be very concerned, and blamed softly: "Zhen Jiang, Aiqing saved me and the Son of Heaven, and he is also an important minister of Kuang Fu Sheji, we all like him very much, this palace loves the house and Wu, and I also like you very much, so I want to mention you here, as a wife, you should abide by the four virtues, women's morality, women's words, women's appearance, and women's skills are indispensable, other palaces don't know, but look at women's words, you can't do well, how can you criticize your husband's mistakes in public, You have to introspect yourself, and when you save the time, you will be suspended by Aiqing for the seven crimes, and if you cry to the palace again, it will be too late! ”

Zhen Jiang wanted to say something, but Jin Liang hurriedly twisted her hand hard, and hurriedly said: "Weichen thanked the Queen Mother for her teachings!" As he spoke, he was about to pull Zhen Jiang away from this gunpowder-smelling chief.

Young Emperor Liu Wei raised the wine bottle and stood up: "Shang ......"

"What yet?!" Jin Liang and Empress Dowager He Lian frowned at the same time, and hurriedly stopped.

Only then did Liu Wei realize that there were more than 2,000 guests in the entire Jin Mansion, and it was not suitable to say that he worshiped Jin Liang as his father for the time being, so he said: "Aiqing, you are my master in martial arts, and you saved the 'sexual' life of me and my mother, and thanks to you, the Han family will not be subverted by Dong Zhuo's old thief, Aiqing, please drink this cup and accept my blessings, I wish Aiqing to have a son early, and when she grows up, she can serve the country and be a mighty general like Aiqing!" ”

Jin Liang wanted to end the embarrassing scene as soon as possible, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your blessing!" He happily lifted the wine bottle, drank it all, and then pulled Zhen Jiang and walked to the second seat.

The Empress Dowager He Lian smiled and said: "Aiqing, slow down, there is something in this palace to discuss with your husband and wife!" ”

Jin Liang hurriedly stopped, turned his head and asked, "I don't know what the Queen Mother has to discuss with me?" The tone was quite flat, but there was a trace of unkindness in his eyes, He Lian, you have to be self-aware, if you refuse to give up the dignity of the queen mother, you can only be my Jin Liang's secret mistress in this life, and you have no qualifications to be jealous of my other women!

Empress Dowager He smiled slightly: "Aiqing proposed at the last court meeting to give the wife of a high-ranking official the title of Mrs. Order, Aiqing Gui is the general of Zhengnan as an official from the first grade, and your wife should be named Mrs. from the first grade, originally your wife Cai Yan married a wife for you and was named Mrs. from the first grade." Deservedly, you are now married to a flat wife. How to award rewards. It makes this palace very difficult! ”

When Empress Dowager He said this, it was clear that she didn't want to give this lady to Zhen Jiang, Zhen Jiang forcibly stopped the anger in her heart and said calmly: "Queen Mother." Let's give the eldest sister the title of Mrs. Cong Yipin, I just passed the door. has not made a little contribution to the Jin family, and is not eligible to be sealed. ”

Empress Dowager He stared at Zhen Jiang coldly: "I was asking your husband's opinion, not you." Do you understand etiquette?! ”

Jin Liang saw that the atmosphere stiffened again. Hurriedly smiled to resolve the embarrassment: "Queen Mother, Zhen Jiang's opinion is my opinion!" Queen Mother, if there is nothing else, we are going to toast the other guests! ”

The Queen Mother He Lian's eyes flashed with a hint of 'color', and she wanted to have a seizure, but her reason reminded herself. The Liu Han royal family can rely on Jin Liang and his central army the most now, and they can't give him a 'face' in front of the public. It's better to ravage him when he enters the palace again, so he nodded calmly: "Okay, I'll make Cai Yan the first lady, you go and greet the other guests." ”

Jin Liang hurriedly took Zhen Jiang's hand and left the high chief, walked to the second seat, walked a few steps away, Jin Liang said softly: "My lady, she is the queen mother, how can you talk to her like that?!" ”

Zhen Jiang sneered: "My husband, do you think I'm deaf and blind, and I can't see that you have an inexplicable relationship with the queen mother and queen?!" It's nice to say, they are the queen mother and queen, but if it's not good, they're just puppets! They still want to embarrass me in public, how can I bear it! ”

Jin Liang looked around nervously, fortunately Zhen Jiang's voice was very small, Chen Lin, the emcee who followed them, was Jin Liang's cronies, Chen Lin also deliberately took a few steps back, pretending not to hear their 'exchange' talk, Jin Liang then put his mind at ease and said to Zhen Jiang: "No matter what the actual situation is, you should take care of it, you should understand, you don't need me to remind you again!" ”

Zhen Jiang nodded: "Husband, don't worry, as long as they don't mess with me, I will never lose my temper!" ”

On the second seat sat the three lords of Zhengyipin, Taifu Lu Zhi, Taishi Cai Yong, Taibao Ma 'Ri' Yan and their families, Lu Zhi brought his wife to temporarily replace Jin Liang's parents, and Zhen Jiang's uncle Zhen Yi and his wife temporarily replaced Zhen Jiang's parents and sat with them again.

Taishi Cai Yong's wife died a few years ago, speaking of Cai Yong's second daughter Cai Lu, the romance is not recorded, but there are very heavy traces in history, she married the 'day' after the party Taishou Yang, gave birth to a son and a daughter, daughter Yang Huiyu is the stepwife of Sima Yi's eldest son Sima Shi, known as Queen Jingxian in history, and her son is the famous Yanghu, the official to the Western Jin Dynasty to conquer the southern general. Jin Liang has seen Cai Lu once, and his talent is not as good as his sister Cai Yan, but he is gentle and quiet, far better than Cai Yan, Jin Liang didn't think anything about this little sister-in-law, because Cai Lu is only seven or eight years old now, and because Cai Lu is not very beautiful, and because Jin Liang clearly knows that Cai Lu has an outstanding son Yanghu in history, and if you don't want Yanghu to disappear in history, don't get involved with Cai Lu.

Jin Liang and Zhen Jiang toasted Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Ma 'Ri', and Zhen Yi one by one.

The subsequent generals and court officials were very easy to dismiss, everyone was an acquaintance, they raised the wine bottle and said an auspicious word, Jin Liang touched the wine bottle with them, and the wine bottle touched the mouth a little bit, but because the number of people was too much, Jin Liang and Zhen Jiang spent two hours to finish saluting the guests on each table.

The most difficult to send is the envoys sent by the princes from all over the country, Gongsun Zhan sent his younger brother Gongsun Fan, Liu Yu sent his son Liu He, Yuan Shao sent his son Yuan Tan, Cao Cao sent his cousin Cao Ren, Tao Qian sent Mi Zhu, Kong Rong sent Wang Xiu, and so on, the princes of the states and counties near Xiangyang sent their cronies, they didn't want to offend Jin Liang for the time being, and they all had the idea of pulling Jin Liang as an ally and consolidating their power, so the congratulatory gifts sent were also very rich, Jin Liang in order to show his gratitude to these princes, Naturally, you can't just taste it, and you have to drink all the wine in the bottle.

If all the guests are saluted, Jin Liang will definitely get drunk, and tonight's candle night in the cave room is something he wants to enjoy. Fortunately, Jin Liang had already prepared, the wine jug on the wine table held by the master of ceremonies Chen Lin was different, divided into two parts, one side filled with water, the other side filled with wine, Chen Lin looked at Jin Liang's eyes 'color' and acted, treating the kind of princes envoys who were close to each other and didn't want to offend for the time being, Jin Liang drank the alcohol, and treated the kind of nominal and worthless princes, Chen Lin received Jin Liang's eyes, and the wine was already stronger than the common light wine before, so these princes' envoys didn't find anything greasy

When Jin Liang and Zhen Jiang came to the seat of the generals of the Central Army, a brigade commander drank a few more bottles of wine, his tongue grew bigger, and his courage also increased, so he said to Jin Liang: "General, you promised us before, saying that you would find us a mother-in-law, and now the general, you are not happy to marry a wife and take a concubine, but the brothers are all lonely, this winter is so cold, there is not even a warm bed!" ”

Jin Liang narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at this very rude guy, it turned out to be a commander of the Montenegrin Army, after he surrendered to Jin Liang, because he had some men and horses in his hands, he took advantage of the situation to make him a brigade commander, in fact, his talent was not competent.

Without waiting for Jin Liang to speak, Shi Shuai Zhenggu stepped forward and slapped him fiercely: "Zhang Qi, if you drink too much, you will say something faint, and you are so rude to the general!" This is the general's wedding banquet, if you were in the barracks, you would have been beheaded! ”

Jin Liang's eyes flashed with a hint of 'color', he knew that Wei Guyuan was also the commander of the Black Mountain Army, and the reason why he slapped Zhang Qi was actually to save Zhang Qi's life, otherwise when Jin Liang fell, it would not be a slap to eliminate Jin Liang's anger.

He raised his arms high again, wanting to slap Zhang Qi again, but Jin Liang stretched out his hand to hold him: "Zhang Qi is right, I promised everyone that everyone would have a mother-in-law within five years, but now it seems that five years is too long!" ”

Jin Liang raised the wine bottle and said loudly to the more than 500 generals of the Central Army at the scene: "Please rest assured, I, Jin Liang, am definitely not a person who can only share hardships and hardships, but not wealth, I Jin Liang is well fed and clothed, and will never let my brothers suffer from cold and hunger, I have a wife at home, and I will never let my brothers be lonely!" I declare that in this month and next January, two months before and after the Spring Festival, we will solve the marriage problem of 10,000 soldiers, starting with you generals! It starts tomorrow! When you are married, you will be rewarded with land according to your exploits. ”

The reason why Jin Liang announced the reward of women and land so decisively was because a few days ago, he read Mencius occasionally, and read that "the people are the way, those who have permanent property have perseverance, and those who do not have permanent property have no perseverance", and suddenly realized that why the Yellow Turban Army and those thieves and rogues in later generations could not obtain the world, and why the stingy Xiang Yu could not obtain the world, it was because their subordinates did not get permanent property and did not have the fighting spirit to defend their property.

From the point of view of human nature, everyone has the fighting spirit to defend their property from being taken away by others, but not everyone may have the fighting spirit to take property from others.

After Jin Liang finished announcing, all the generals cheered.

Yang Biao's group of ministers of the family heard the cheers of the generals of the Central Army, and they couldn't help but whisper helplessly: "Jin Liang is buying the hearts of the army again!" ”

When Jin Liang took Zhen Jiang's hand and held the wine bottle, he felt extremely embarrassed, and it was Jin Liang's father-in-law Tang Long who was sitting at the head.

When Jin Liang married Zhen Jiang, he felt a little embarrassed, so he didn't talk to Tang Long, he thought that Tang Long was in the Tang Mansion, but he didn't expect Tang Long to attend the wedding banquet.

Jin Liang stepped forward hard, but he didn't know what to say, and was speechless.

Tang Long said with a smile: "Xianting, do you think that I don't approve of your marriage?!" Then you are wrong, I was a little angry before, but I was angry that you hid this from me, so that I didn't communicate with the Zhen family in time! ”

Jin Liang looked at Tang Long in amazement, this stepfather really has the strength.

Tang Long said to Zhen Jiang again: "Second Madam, I heard that after you entered the Jin family, you still want to be in charge of the Zhen family?" ”

Zhen Jiang smiled and nodded: "Yes, when my third brother grows up, I will 'hand' over the family affairs to him." ”

Tang Long nodded: "This is very good, the Zhen family and the Jin family are married, and my Tang family is also a relative, I hope that the Zhen family and the Tang family can work together to help the great cause of Xianting!" ”

Zhen Jiang nodded: "Tang Gong is so magnanimous and open-minded, my Zhen family is the best of the best." ”

Tang Long's seat is full of Tang Long's relatives and friends, not all of them are so magnanimous, some people are just cold-eyed, they think that Zhen Jiang's appearance will weaken their young lady's status in the Jin family, and Zhen Jiang was rejected by them when they gave them wine.

Tang Long's face sank when he saw this: "I don't know the general bastard thing, the eldest lady of the Zhen family married into the Jin family, and it also helped the Tang family, with the help of the eldest lady of the Zhen family, the great cause of Xianting will be thriving, and you relatives will also get benefits, don't be rude!" ”

Tang Long is the head of the Tang family, and his prestige is very heavy, as soon as he speaks, the Tang family does not dare to disobey, and they all obediently take Zhen Jiangbu's wine and drink it all.

Walking to the last seat, Jin Liang saw that a young man was very unfamiliar, his seat did not have a name post, and there was a little dissatisfaction in his eyes, so he took a few steps back and asked Zhao Yun who was following him: "Who is this?!" ”

Zhao Yun replied in a low voice: "He said that he was Wu Zhang's eldest son, Wu Yan, who came from Luoyang, and Guo Junshi checked his identity and let him in, but because of his special status, he did not hang up his name." ”

A wry smile appeared on Jin Liang's face, He Jin's subordinate Wu Zhang, who later surrendered to Dong Zhuo, was the second son of Chen Liu's Wu family and the father of Wu Ban.

Jin Liang stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Wu Yan, is Ling Zun good over there?!" ”

Wu Yan said coldly: "Thanks to the general's blessing, my father was snubbed by the old thief, and the soldiers under his command were scattered, trapped in Luoyang, and could not move!" ”

Jin Liang understood that it must have been Li Ru who found out that Wu Zhang's son was in his hands, and suggested that Dong Zhuo could not reuse Wu Zhang.

Jin Liang said with a smile: "In a few months, my central army will definitely send troops to Luoyang, and when the time comes, I hope that Ling Zun can reorganize the old department and respond to us, if Dong Zhuo can be defeated, not only will Ling Zun return to the imperial court, but also give him a three-level promotion!" ”

Wu Yan got Jin Liang's personal promise, and his eyes softened a little: "I'll go back and talk to my father." ”

Jin Liang's face was 'pale': "Wu Yan, you go back and tell Ling Zun to let him gather all the old departments of the official army that are not from Xiliang, although he must be cautious and meticulous, but he must also be faster, I hope Ling Zun can gather before the end of January next year." ”

After the wedding banquet is over, Lu Bu and Zhen Jiang will continue to set up a ceremony, also known as the bed ceremony, commonly known as the cave room.

Jin Liang took Zhen Jiang's hand, and entered the red 'color' paper-cut room full of houses and red candles hanging in the jubilant cave room, in this era, the red 'color' is popular in this era, and the red 'color' is dark red, which is different from the big red 'color' of later generations, and Jin Liang is not used to seeing all the unified changes to the big red 'color' of later generations, which looks festive and not as gloomy as the red 'color'.

This period is also a little different from later generations, that is, the bride did not have a big red hijab, and the big red hijab only began to exist in the Northern Qi period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. According to the rules of the bed-closing ceremony, the bride is undressed by the maid, and the groom is undressed by the male waiter, and then the waiter comes out with a candle.

Jin Liang took off the red dress and 'handed over' it to the maid to take it away, and then Zhen Jiang took off the red dress and 'handed it over' to the maid, both of whom wore intimate clothes.

At this moment, a maid came in to carry a candle and came out, but was stopped by Jin Liang.

Jin Liang looked at Zhen Jiang, who was infinitely shy, and said with a wicked smile: "Lady, what's the point of doing it blindly in the black light, I want to see your jade body as smooth as jade, of course, you can also appreciate my husband's sturdy and sturdy body!" ”

Zhen Jiang shook his head lightly and said: "But this is etiquette, it cannot be violated, if we hold candles all night here, I am afraid that outsiders will criticize it!" ”

Jin Liang smiled: "Then take away this big red candle and replace it with a smaller one, lady, I have to take a good look at you tonight!" ”

The maid took away the big red candle and brought a small candle, which was not very bright, but it could also let Jin Liang see Zhen Jiang's beauty.

Jin Liang's conscience was relieved, and he smiled and said: "Lady, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, we don't want to let it down." (To be continued.) )
