Chapter 416 [Marrying Cai Yan]
In the communication with Cai Yan, Wei Yan gradually calmed down, not Cai Yan reminded him of anything, but Cai Yan's calm emotions affected him, making Wei Yan gradually remember some of the good things he had in later lives.
Although there are many scum in later generations, and even those scum who have been trampling on the labor of others and have no sense of honesty account for most of the world, it is undeniable that there are still some people who have been defending the minimum moral bottom line of being a human being, have been respecting themselves and others, they are friendly, they are generous, they are tolerant, they are self-confident, they are kind, they have the good character of real people, it is these people, even if they only account for one-tenth or twenty-tenth of the entire population, they still tenaciously support the conscience of the entire population, but also support the conscience of later generations of China.
If nothing else, just to keep those conscientious Chinese people from being disappointed, Wei Yan will go on firmly.
As a key figure who dominates the direction of the entire country and nation, Wei Yan can never equate his perspective of considering problems with the sling of the mediocre life all day long in later generations, although many things seem boring and cumbersome, but they determine the direction of the entire country and the entire nation, and can affect the life and death of tens of millions of people at every turn, so Wei Yan can't help but do it carefully.
After Wei Yan's mind calmed down, his relationship with Cai Yan became harmonious.
When discussing poetry with Cai Yan once, Wei Yan saw Cai Yan, who was smiling and beautiful, and couldn't help but be moved by the impulse in his heart and forcibly kissed Cai Yan.
Cai Yan tasted Wei Yan's lips and tongue kung fu to the fullest, and then pushed Wei Yan away: "General, I haven't passed the door yet, you are so polite!" ”
Wei Yan also let go of his knot at this time, he has to be frank, don't mind those obscene villains, like the actions of some dirty people in later generations, how can they affect his decision in this time and space in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei Yan only cares about the opinions of the people who love him and support him from now on, and will not care about the opinions of those bastards who are hostile and ignore him.
Wei Yan laughed and said: "In three days, it will be a good day, I will marry you, Cai Yan, you are waiting to be my Wei Yan's wife!" ”
Three days later, under the Tower of Babel, Cai Yan was dressed in a phoenix crown and a xia veil, dressed extraordinarily pretty, and Wei Yan was dressed in a red groom's clothes, which was also extremely handsome.
In front of the statue of Nuwa Tianshen, who was in charge of marriage, Yu Ji, the Heavenly Master of the Fu Han Dynasty, had white hair and was wearing a white robe of Bagua Taiji, which looked very immortal and admirable, standing in the center, and said solemnly: "Wei Yan, Cai Yan, may the Nuwa God bless you." Today, the Church of Babel gathers in the presence of the gods to celebrate a sacred and solemn wedding for you in the church. Marriage is blessed, sacred, and precious, so you should not be careless and hasty, but should swear respectfully, reverently, and gratefully before the god Nuwa! ”
Yu Ji asked Wei Yan solemnly: "Wei Yan, on behalf of the Tongtian Church, I ask you in front of the most holy, beloved, and purified Nuwa God: Are you willing to marry Cai Yan with sincerity, obey the commandments of the Heavenly God in the Tongtian Sutra, and live a godly life with her; Whether she is happy or poor, rich or poor, good or bad, healthy or weak, you respect her, help her, care for her, and love her with all your heart. Build a happy family with her for life, are you willing?! ”
Wei Yan solemnly replied word by word: "I am willing!" ”
Yu Ji asked Cai Yan, who was blushing and a little nervous, "Cai Yan, on behalf of the Tongtian Church, I ask you in front of the most holy, beloved and purest god Nuwa: Are you willing to marry Wei Yan sincerely, obey the commandments of the gods in the Tongtian Sutra, and live a godly life with him; Whether he is happy or poor, rich or poor, good or bad, healthy or weak, you respect him, help him, care for him, and love him with all your heart. Build a happy family with him for life, are you willing?! ”
This wedding was the first large-scale wedding after the establishment of the Babel Sect, and the inside and outside of the Babel Tower were full of people, and about 70,000 or 80,000 people watched the ceremony.
With so many pairs of eyes looking at Cai Yan, Cai Yan felt very nervous, but she still didn't hesitate to shout in a trembling voice: "I do!" ”
Yu Ji took out two diamond rings made of diamonds that Wei Yan had finally sent someone to collect from the Western Regions, handed them to Wei Yan and Cai Yan, asked them to wear each other, and sent out a blessing message: "May the god Nuwa bless and make this ring the evidence of your eternal vows, and may you love each other from now on, never separate, restrain each other, and be united forever!" ”
Then Pope Liu Xie took the stage to offer his final blessing: "I proclaim to the supreme god Pangu, the supreme god Huaxu, the supreme god Fuxi, and the beloved god Nuwa that you will become husband and wife, and that the gods of heaven are united, and that people cannot be separated, and that the gods will be with you forever, through the heavens!" ”
The wedding of Wei Yan and Cai Yan is almost a complete copy of the Christian wedding ceremony of later generations, and the fundamental purpose is to let Tongtianjiao start from now on, and fully involve in the daily life of the Han people, whether it is the birth of a child, or the full moon of the child, or marriage, or death, the priests of Tongtian Sect will be present to convey the blessings of the gods, just like Christianity, just like a religion that is about to surpass Christianity, so that the people can start to like this religion from the care of the priests.
Wei Yan also made up a few words for this, "Love Pangu God, like loving our grandfather, loving Huaxu God, like loving our grandmother, loving Fuxi God, like loving our father, loving Nuwa God, like loving our mother, loving Tongtian Sect, just like loving our family", "Doing good to go to heaven, going to hell for evil, and doing good for evil, all in your thoughts, Tongtianjiao warmly reminds you, please cherish good karma." ”
Wei Yan remembered the tragic encounter of Christianity being seriously questioned by science in later generations and constantly retreating, so he took it as a warning and laid the foreshadowing in the Tongtian Sutra in advance, and later, science flourished as much as the 21st century, and people were able to read some of the words in the Tongtian Sutra, and then suddenly realized that Pangu opened the world with the Big Bang, Nuwa created man with cloning technology, and the gods of heaven were indeed gods, and the technology in heaven was 2,000 years ahead of the world.
Of course, Wei Yan and Cai Yan held such a wedding, and they were still a little ashamed and uneasy, because the copied Christian wedding was strictly monogamous, but Wei Yan had a wife, a flat wife, and four concubines, and Cai Yan was only a flat wife when he got married.
Fortunately, Wei Yan did not stipulate in the teachings of Tongtian that monogamy is necessary, not only because the current national conditions of the Han Dynasty do not allow it, but also because the development of the Han Dynasty in the future will not allow it, and the Han Dynasty will annex many surrounding alien races in the future, and those men of the foreign race will either die tragically under the iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty, or surrender to become the slavery of the Han Dynasty, but those women of the foreign race are taken in by the Han men because of their beauty and reproductive ability, and there are more women than men, and it is very inappropriate to engage in strict monogamy.
Cai Yan naturally didn't know that this holy wedding was based on strict monogamy, she just felt that Wei Yan held such a grand wedding with her, which showed her position in Wei Yan's heart, Cai Yan's heart was full of happiness, without the slightest dissatisfaction.
The ceremony held inside the Tower of Babel is only a symbolic ceremony, and the rest of the procedures are still handled according to the Han folk tradition.
The entire General's Mansion and even the entire Yiyang are decorated with lights, red happy characters are posted everywhere, and red lanterns are hung high, and there is a joyful scene everywhere.
The past year is the most comfortable and reassuring year for the people of Yiyang, although there have been family rebellions, foreign enemies invaded, were quickly quelled by the Wei army, under the effective implementation of Wei Yan's various positive economic recovery policies, the people of Yiyang have lived a much more comfortable life, more than a year has reached the goal of abundant food and clothing agreed with them before Wei Yan, the people of Yiyang who are full of gratitude heard that Wei Yan got married, and they all hung happy words and red lanterns all over the city, and blessed Wei Yan's marriage together. Many people even took out their own red-skinned eggs, fresh meat, and silk to come to the General's Mansion to congratulate Wei Yan.
Wei Yan instructed the housekeeper at the beginning that nothing could be accepted from the people, but then he really couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the people, and many of them put a basket of gifts at the door of the General's Mansion, said a blessing to the gate and turned away, until the open space in front of the General's Mansion was full of baskets covered with red cloth.
The people of Yiyang were so enthusiastic that Wei Yan had no choice but to change his original plan, no longer sticking to the celebration within the imperial court and the Wei army, but set up flowing water banquets in the streets and alleys of Yiyang, so that all the people could have a meal of joyful wine, and everyone who came to congratulate them could receive a hundred yuan, in fact, this hundred yuan was enough to be worth the basket of eggs, fresh meat, and silk.
Wei Yan's generous gesture made his image even higher in the eyes of the people.
In the morning, the Babel Wedding was held at the Tower of Babel, a holy wedding witnessed by the four gods, and from noon onwards a traditional wedding was held in the Shogun's Palace.
In addition to the ministers of the imperial court, the senior generals of the Wei army, and relatives and friends on both sides, Wei Yan selected 900 people from the people of Yiyang to participate in the wedding, which is also the implementation of Wei Yan's consistent pro-people style.
Now Wei Yan has been promoted two levels, from General Pingnan to General Zhennan of Liu Biao, and directly jumped to General Zhengnan, with the rank above Liu Biao, he is the commander of the first army in the world, and the first sect in the world, the sect of Tongtianjiao, and Cai Yan is the daughter of Cai Yong, a famous man who is well-known at home.
Although some ministers of neutral families were very dissatisfied with Wei Yan's monopoly on military power, they also had to accompany them with smiling faces and heavy gifts to say goodbye.
For the congratulatory gifts sent by the ministers and ministers, Wei Yan did not reciprocate the favor like ordinary people, but accepted them unceremoniously.
And Wei Yan's subordinates, whether in the army or in the court, Wei Yan told them in advance that they didn't need to give gifts, just come over and drink, so many generals only brought a few jars of good wine or came empty-handed, they all found their own seats to sit down and drink, and they didn't work hard for Wei Yan to persuade each other, everyone drank to the fullest.
As soon as the tedious etiquette was finished, Wei Yan let go and toasted with the guests present.
Wei Yan's original intention was to be respectful to everyone, and after saluting the distinguished guests at the previous tables, Wei Yan realized that there were more than 3,600 guests present, if everyone toasted a glass, I am afraid that they would have to drink dozens of catties of wine.
Wei Yan toasted a glass to the famous virtuous ministers, a toast to the generals above the division commander, and a toast to the elders in the relatives of both sides, and the remaining more than 3,000 people were all a table and a glass, even so, Wei Yan still had to drink more than three catties of wine.
This wine is the Xinghuachun brewed by Wei Yan's life, it is a distilled liquor, the alcohol content feels like only more than 20 degrees, but it is far better than the fine wine brewed in other places in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wei Yan can drink four catties, and the others, even Dian Wei, who can usually drink the most, drank less than three catties and got drunk, because they had drunk undistilled low-alcohol liquor before.
A large piece of drunk and unconscious, Wei Yan hurriedly asked people to help them back.
After the song ended, it was time for Wei Yan to get down to business.
Wei Yan, led by the maid, strutted his head high, ready to fulfill his last obligation.
Coming to the cave room where the water was red and beaming with red candles, looking at the big red happy word paper cut pasted on the wall, Wei Yan couldn't help but smile, he was so satisfied with himself, Cai Yan, a talented woman who had been thinking about him for a long time, was finally married by him.
Cai Yan covered his head with a red scarf and sat on the bed shyly and speechlessly.
Wei Yan hurriedly walked to the bed, gently removed the red hijab on Cai Yan's head, under the light of the red candle, Cai Yan looked extremely charming, his face was radiant with a little fat powder, and his beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, which made Wei Yan's heart shake.
Before this, he had always admired Cai Yan's literary brilliance, and slightly ignored her beauty, but now if you look closely, her beauty is no less than that of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
Wei Yan could no longer hide his overflowing happiness, and grinned and hugged Cai Yan's crimson face: "Madam! ”
Cai Yan's face was full of crimson, she didn't know why she was so shy tonight, she remembered that she wouldn't be so shy in front of him, was it because of the wonderful things that were coming.
Wei Yan remembered that Cai Yan was not like the bride of later generations who could eat and drink with the groom on this day, she should have not eaten all the time, so how could she do it, how could she withstand her own conquest when she was hungry?
Wei Yan hurriedly instructed the maid to prepare Cai Yan's favorite meal.
Cai Yan heard the names of several dishes reported by Wei Yan, and her beautiful eyes showed surprise: "Husband, how do you know that the concubine likes to eat these?" ”
Wei Yan smiled and said: "Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side has won a hundred battles, the art of war can not only be used on the battlefield, but also in the love field." ”
Cai Yan shyly and gently slapped Wei Yan's broad chest: "Husband, you are so good at using soldiers, even the concubine body has been captured by you." ”
