Chapter 11: The Day of Joy

Sun Quan and Sun Ben, as well as their men and horses, were all welcomed into Yingyin City by Gao Ye. Although the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion have experienced hardships outside the city, but now that they have seen Gao Ye, their safety has been completely guaranteed, and there is no need to worry. First, Gao Ye and his father Sun Jian have a good relationship, and they have a half-teacher relationship with Sun Ce, but now there is no conflict between the two families, how can Gao Ye be unfavorable to them?

However, Sun Ben is not as relieved as Sun Quan is now, Sun Jian has just died in battle, and people's minds have changed, so it is still unknown whether Gao Ye really has no intention of annexing and harming. That's why he returned to the post house, and Sun Ben hurriedly went to Sun Quan to discuss. After all, he is nominally the right envoy, and he has been resourceful since he was a child, and he is famous among the brothers, so even Sun Ben is very convinced of him.

"Zhongmou, why did you say that Gao Taishou sent that yellow shot back today? Uncle was killed not long ago, and Gao Taishou would not throw himself on Liu Biao's side. ”

"Brother Boyang, don't worry, the yellow shot today, although I almost died, but this time, it also gave our Sun family a chance to breathe."

What do you mean by that? If it weren't for Gao Taishou today, I would have let that yellow shooter's head fall to the ground, would I have let him go back alive? Sun Ben said hatefully, "If you hadn't stopped it, when Han Fan died, I only needed to lead people to fight back, and it would not be difficult for the Jingzhou soldiers and horses to be annihilated." Anyway, what are you stopping me for! ”

"Brother, after all, this is the boundary of Yingchuan, and now Uncle Gao Ye is getting married, and there is such a thing today, he can't tell how angry he is in his heart. As long as you see that he killed that Han Fan without even asking, you should know that Jingzhou offended him miserably this time. Tell you, if I hadn't stopped you at that time, and you led the army to fight back, believe it or not, he wouldn't have said much, and even you would have to die in his hands. ”

"Sss Sun Ben gasped, because he knew that if Gao Ye really fought against him, he would have no way to survive in Gao Ye's hands. Sun Bofu is already considered to be the top master in their family, even he can't go through fifty rounds in Gao Ye's hands, isn't it to die if he goes up by himself! "It won't be so serious, whether it's the face of the uncle or the eldest brother, he always has to take care of it."

"That's not true. Now that we are on the boundary of his Yingchuan River, we are guests from afar, so we should have the gift of being guests. He wants everyone to stop, you still dare to attack, believe me, he will never be polite. ”

"Well, since you also said it, the yellow shot made him quite angry, but why did he send the yellow shot back to Jingzhou? Even if you don't kill him, just detain him, doesn't this behavior show that he is unwilling to offend Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Jiangxia Huang? ”

"Brother, that's wrong. Didn't you listen to your uncle, today's events are announced to the world. This trick is more ruthless than killing Huang Shot. Jiangxia Huang clan is also a famous family of my Han Dynasty, think about it, he Huang shot to Yingchuan to congratulate his uncle, but attacked me for no reason, the most important thing is that I, the main envoy, is only a ten-year-old child. If such a thing spreads, then the reputation of the Jiangxia Huang clan is safe? Especially my uncle, who is the daughter of Cai Yong's uncle, who is famous in the sea and known to the world, how can he not be criticized by the world's corporals for being rude to this point? Besides, Gao Ye had already killed Han Fan, so what was his brother dissatisfied with. Now that the reputation of the Huang family is about to fall, Liu Biao will be estranged from him when he wants to come, so it will be easier for me to take revenge in the future......"

In the same way, Gao Ye also said this to Guo Jia, after all, the current Gao Ye is full of thoughts about marrying Cai Yan home smoothly, which is why Gao Ye ignored Huang Yan's rudeness at the beginning. It's just that Huang Shot's troubles really aroused his anger, and he killed Han Fan on the spot, not to mention, and he had to be a violent corpse for three days. As soon as the news came out, even Cai Yong persuaded him to forget it, the big wedding is imminent, so don't do such a murderous thing, so as not to be overjoyed.

Although Gao Ye agreed with Cai Yong's words, he asked Han Fan to be buried in the coffin and rolled back to Jingzhou with Huang Jie. However, the matter of proclamation must not be saved. Guo Jia can be regarded as quick-witted, but after a meal, he wrote the whole proclamation as a cluster of flowers, and then sent it out. The high night wedding, which was the time when the envoys of the princes of the world gathered, the Jingzhou delegation was driven out of Yingchuan, which already affected the hearts of other people. After this proclamation was later transmitted to Jingzhou, Huang Zu's elder brother Huang Chengyan left in a rage, took his wife and daughter to Xiangyang, and lived in seclusion with Sima Hui.

Of course, Gao Ye doesn't know these things now, but for the Huang family, Gao Ye's anger can be imagined. Therefore, Gao Ye specially wrote a letter and sent it to Liu Biao in Xiangyang tomorrow, which not only wrote about Huang Jie's death in Yingchuan, but also specially told Liu Biao that now his behavior has made Bo Jiaogong, Ciming Gong and others angry, and countless scholars have begun to criticize the Huang family. If you want to come to me for trouble, then I'm here to help.

Gao Ye's letter can be described as neither humble nor arrogant, on the one hand, telling Liu Biao that I am not afraid of you, and on the other hand, telling Liu Biao that this is just an opportunity to suppress the Huang family and allow your own power to develop. Gao Ye believes that Liu Biao, who has read this letter, will definitely not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dog. He is struggling in Jingzhou, isn't it because the Cai family, the Kuai family and other local clans hold power. Now that I have such a good opportunity, I can install a few of my own people to go up, so that I can slowly encroach on the power of other families.

After these things were done, although Gao Ye was extremely tired, but early the next morning, Gao Ye still got up early, washed and changed clothes, because today was a good day for him to marry Cai Yan.

Ying Yin is not far from Yang Zhai, but the horse gallops, it will take half a day to arrive, now it is a kiss, naturally go earlier, otherwise the auspicious time will be delayed, even if you don't care, I am afraid that others will also say irresponsible things. Therefore, Gao Ye really got up early in the morning, and even Gao Ye felt that he had just fallen asleep, so he was called up by Ying'er.

When Gao Ye came to Yang Zhai and in front of Cai Yong's mansion, it was already approaching, which was the early departure of Gao Ye, and the speed was fast along the way, so it came so quickly. To be reasonable, Cai Yan should have been carried back to Yingyin in a sedan chair, but for the sake of the distance, Cai Yong still agreed to use something like a carriage. However, even with the carriage, the speed of travel has accelerated a lot, but if you really want to take Cai Yan to Yingyin, it will definitely not be possible to do it without three or four hours. Fortunately, the auspicious time is at night, so hurry up and there should be no delay.

Fortunately, in this era, there is no hypnotic poem, crying on the sedan chair, Cai Yong's mansion is full of guests early in the morning, Gao Ye came here, Cai Yong just encouraged the two of them a few words, and let Gao Ye take Cai Yan away. Even if Cai Yan was welcomed out of the mansion, there were no magical things such as "Zhengfu Gang" and crossing the brazier in later generations, some were just Cai Yan was helped into the carriage by Gao Ye, and that's it.

However, when they returned to the high night and Cai Yan in Yingchuan, the etiquette of formal marriage was not at all more concise than that of later generations, and the first thing was to perform the Wo Yu ceremony. As soon as the word wo comes out, it is not difficult to understand that this is a water-related etiquette. Gao Ye had been reminded of the process countless times by Guo Jia before the wedding, so he was naturally familiar with these things. With the arrival of a copper basin, Gao Ye and Cai Yan cleaned their hands in the basin together, it is said that it was because it was too impossible to bathe on the spot, so they chose to use the way of cleaning their hands to express their high respect for the sacred matter of wedding.

The wedding of the Han Dynasty is very different from the Ming and Qing dynasties, that is, there is no such process as worshipping heaven and earth and worshipping the high hall twice. Gao Ye took Cai Yan's hand and entered the lobby together, and the guests were full of them, all of whom raised their wines. The two walked to the main seat together and made opposite each other, symbolizing that they would become husband and wife and live together in the future. This is what the so-called case raising eyebrows is talking about. The two of them sat down, then the banquet officially began, the Han Dynasty implemented a separate meal system, everyone has their own table, their own dishes, only Gao Ye and Cai Yan here, only one. The two have to eat in the same bowl, which is the legendary prison ceremony, and the two eat the same pot of rice, which also means that the two will become a family from now on.

"The Book of Rites: The Book of Rites" contains: "Husband and wife eat together in prison, and hold together." "After the same prison ceremony, it is natural to perform this joint ceremony. This conjunctional ceremony is actually similar to the glass of wine in later generations, except that it is not as ambiguous as that in later generations. It is a bitter gourd, and the bitter taste is indescribable. The ceremonial official took the whole line and divided it into two, each holding wine in the middle, Gao Ye and Cai Yan each drank this wine. The ceremonial officials here are not court officials, but just the people who were in charge of the process invited by Gao Ye, and they are similar to the hosts of later generations. After the wine, the official tied the handles together with red silk threads, signaling the husband and wife to become one.

To tell the truth, Gao Ye has not liked to eat bitter things since his previous life, what bitter gourd, yellow lotus, and even bitter tea are the objects of Gao Ye's rejection. Just a sip of wine, straight to the high night bitter almost put on the life, although the implication of life is like bitter wine, but this is too bitter.

After the two of them passed the ceremony, Gao Ye personally walked behind Cai Yan and removed the red tassels from her hair. This red tassel was originally part of the high night bride price, and it was untied at this time, firstly, to symbolize that their marriage had a complete process and was recognized by both families; Second, this red tassel is also used to tie a strand of Gao Ye and Cai Yan's hair together. The so-called married couple, if they don't tie the hair, how can they become husband and wife?

Because the auspicious time was at night, after this pile of rituals was completed, it was already dark. Gao Ye did not send Cai Yan into the cave room, but took Cai Yan's hand and walked out of the hall together, and even the guests were with Gao Ye. Because Gao Ye said, there will be a fireworks show dedicated to Cai Yan next. As for what the fireworks were, among the people present, no one else really knew except Gao Ye.

With Gao Ye's signal, Zhou Cang hurriedly ran to the front yard to light the fireworks, and there was a muffled sound, although the sound was not loud, so that everyone jumped. I saw a flame soaring into the sky, and the explosion that followed was really like thunder. But the fireworks that exploded immediately made everyone stunned there. Even if everyone is well-informed, how can we ever see such a wonderful thing.

Even Cai Yan, who was directly held in Gao Ye's arms by the side, was amazed by the fireworks, and couldn't help but wrap his hands around Gao Ye's waist and asked softly, "Husband, is this the fireworks you told me?" It's beautiful. ”
