Gao Shun got married and asked to handle it in a low-key manner.

The others could not go back to Taoyuan Fort to congratulate, but Xu Lin and Xu Fu had to come back. Wen Chou attached great importance to it, and arranged for Cheng Huan to temporarily replace Xu Lin's position early, so that Xu Lin could return to attend the wedding of his sister and Gao Shun with peace of mind.

Xu Lin and Xu Fu returned to Taoyuan Fort one after another after the twentieth day of the first lunar month.

Now they are both extremely happy, Du is pregnant, Xu Ting is married, and Xu's rise is just around the corner; Xu Fu was even more happy to cry, he did not live up to the old master's trust.

Although he tried his best to keep a low profile, Gao Shun's fame in Dahan was too great, and the news was quickly leaked out and quickly spread all over the world.

Although the major families and officials did not receive Gao Shun's invitation, they still prepared generous gifts and sent their families to Taoyuan Fort in the spirit of befriending Gao Shun.

Guests and friends from all over the world, the road is far and near, so they arrived early, so that before and after the Spring Festival, Loufu County is still full of people and prosperous as usual.

Needless to say, the Wang family, the Guo family, the Song family, etc., all sent people to carry generous gifts and arrived in Loufu County in advance; The county magistrates and assassins also sent congratulatory gifts early, but they hurried back after sending them.

The big families of the counties and counties in Youzhou are not left behind, the most conspicuous is the Gongsun family of Liaodong County, just ginseng sent a large car, plus fungus, mink and other specialties, a total of ten cars were loaded, forming a mighty convoy.

The Taishou of other surrounding counties are even more active, and most of them are sent to the lord Bo, such as Yunchang County and Wuyuan County, a few counties south of the Yellow River, and they are mixed with Hu and Han, with few people and many people, and the people's livelihood is difficult; The rise of Gao Shun gave them hope, if Gao Shun can successfully recover a few counties, even if they are not reused, at least the people will not suffer, in case they are favored by Gao Shun, they will have the opportunity to soar, otherwise, their political career will be at the top.

The Taishou of the neighboring Xihe County also sent people to send congratulatory gifts; The Huns did not send a single envoy, but followed Bo, the lord of Xihe County, to come together.

Several major families in the Central Plains also sent people to send congratulatory gifts and befriend Gao Shun; Especially the last time I sold horses in Luoyang, several major families profited a lot; Besides, the major families also see that the world is about to be disrupted, and it is not the literati family who will dominate the world in the future, but these strong people who lead the army, befriending Gao Shun is one more choice for the family, they will never put their eggs in one basket, and diversification is their specialty.

Important merchants, naturally, cannot lag behind others, especially the Wei family and the Mi family, all of whom have sent generous gifts; Any item sold by Gao Shun is a sought-after item in the Central Plains, whether it is fine wine, cotton cloth, bedding, refined salt or cattle and sheep war horses, if you can act as an agent for any of them, you can get huge profits.

Of course, not all scholars are optimistic about Gao Shun, for example, no big family in Jizhou came to congratulate; At the beginning, Gao Shun's policy in Julu County, Jizhou seriously endangered the interests of the big family, and they didn't want Gao Shun to live in Jizhou; Now because of the marriage, Gao Shun and His Majesty have a conflict, this is the opportunity for them to fall into the ground, how can they come to congratulate? This also made Gao Shun see the difficulty of occupying and ruling Jizhou, and prepare mentally in advance.

To Gao Shun's great surprise, the Cao family also sent someone to congratulate him. In fact, the Cao family's congratulations were fake, and they came to find out if the situation was true, Gao Shun didn't care about it, and believed that others were also holding the same purpose.

What surprised Gao Shun the most was that Dong Zhuo, the general who was fighting against the Qiang people in Liangzhou, sent people to send generous gifts, and there were as many as 100 beautiful foreign maids alone.

This attracted Gao Shun's attention to the Cao family and Dong Zhuo, and urgently ordered Ma Gui to strengthen the collection of information about the Cao family and Dong Zhuo.

Emperor Liu Hong also attached great importance to Gao Shun's marriage, and asked Zhang Rang to inquire alone.

Liu Hong asked, "Zhang Changshi, how many officials and scholars sent people to attend the wedding of the champion Hou?" ”

"Your Majesty, the big family has not sent anyone to the Yang family and the Yuan family, and the rest have the intention of befriending Gao Shun; Regional families, mainly those from Bingzhou and Youzhou; The words of the officials are only those of the two states; The best is Jizhou, where no officials and scholars go. ”

Liu Hong said with a serious expression: "It seems that the foundation of the champion Hou Zaiyu and the two states has been formed. ”

Zhang Rang, who was frightened by these words, did not dare to continue to answer and remained silent.

Jizhou is so stable, so that Liu Hong is very happy, Jizhou has always been a rich place, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quickly pacified, the harm is very small, the most serious Julu County, with the support of Gao Shun's financial resources has been restored, he does not want Gao Shun to meddle in Jizhou affairs again, affect the imperial court taxes, and strengthen Gao Shun's strength; And the officials and clans of Jizhou are not optimistic about Gao Shun, which is the opportunity he used; As for the annexation of the state, first, it is sparsely populated and relatively poor, and secondly, it is constantly eroded by foreign races, and the territory is seriously shrinking, so it is not valued by the emperor, and there is a long time for Zhou Fei to be stationed in Hedong County, controlling Shangjun and Xihe County, always threatening the rear of Gaoshun, which will definitely make him dare not move.

Liu Hong asked again: "What is the reaction of the two emperors-in-law?" ”

Zhang Rang replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the two emperors-in-law have not sent congratulatory gifts to the champion so far, but a few years ago, Guang Nian Hou bought a batch of grain from Taoyuan Fort. ”

Liu Hong was very satisfied with the behavior of the two emperors-in-law; As long as the two emperors-in-law were loyal to the imperial court, they were like two iron tongs, threatening Gao Shun's wings at all times, so that Gao Shun did not dare to have the heart to go south and ensure the stability of the Han Dynasty.

Gao Shun's wedding was prepared in an orderly manner, the closer to the 28th of the first lunar month, the more outsiders in Loufu County, the major hostels were overcrowded, and many people were forced to stay in ordinary people's homes or rent private houses.

The inside and outside of Taoyuan Fort are newly decorated, the red lanterns are hung high, the red color silk is fluttering, and the stone street is cleaned again and again, spotless, clean as a mirror.

Ma Gui was responsible for the reception and registration of guests, Li Qiang was responsible for the guards inside and outside Taoyuan Fort, and Huang Zhong was assigned a temporary task to lead a thousand cavalry to garrison Taiping Township, patrolling the safety of the road from Taoyuan Fort to Loufu County from time to time.

Early in the morning of the 28th, Gao Shun rode a big red super-premium war horse, walked from the city lord's mansion, and followed by a gorgeously decorated eight-lift sedan chair.

The big red tall horse, a red wedding dress, coupled with Gao Shun's tall and mighty body and white face, looks handsome and chic, extremely handsome.

The sedan chair has a history of thousands of years in China, the sedan chair of the Han Dynasty has not been so gorgeous, this is Gao Shun ordered several intermediate carpenters to make it specially, with good wood, carved with exquisite patterns, and there are Shu brocade decorations around it, which is painted in festive red.

The eight palanquin bearers were all strong men and dressed in festive red clothes.

As soon as this new style of sedan chair appeared, it greatly attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone couldn't help but sigh that the champion Hou just likes to engage in some magical luxury.

First go to Xu Lin's house to pick up Xu Ting, and then Gao Shun led the team out of Taoyuan Fort, and went around Taiping Township before returning to the City Lord's Mansion.

The bridesmaids are Chu Qian and Zhen Rong; Zhen Rong is Zhen Yi's fourth daughter, only ten years old, with a beautiful appearance and cute elves.

At this time, the city lord's mansion also changed the plaque and hung a gold-plated plaque of "Champion Hou Mansion".

The wedding was presided over by Wang Xuan, which gave him a great opportunity to show his face. The process was extremely simple, Xu Ting was sent to the backyard after worshipping the church, and Gao Shun set up a banquet in the front yard to entertain guests and friends.

Each large gift-giver is only allowed to enter Taoyuan Fort; The gift-giver and the attached personnel were arranged in Taoyuan Township, where a hundred tables were arranged, and a flowing water banquet was held, which could be eaten at any time, and those who did not give gifts could also come to eat.

Even with strict control over the number of people, fifty tables were still set up in the City Lord's Mansion.

The dishes are completely beyond people's expectations, completely different from this era, chicken, duck, meat, fish, meat and vegetarian matching, beautiful appearance, bright color, color and flavor, make people appetite great.

There are Kamitani wines, and all kinds of drinks are eye-opening.

At the end of the banquet, the etiquette in the fort came to an end, and only the flowing water banquet in Taiping Township was to be held for three days.
