Chapter 0024: Wedding
The most difficult hot summer quietly came to the end of summer amid people's complaints, and Mianxian gradually returned to its former calm after a lively temple fair.
As for Xiao Wu and Xiao Yan, with the release of water by the Qiang people, they have long been left behind by the people who are in full swing to irrigate the crops, after all, people rely on this crop to eat.
The Shen Mansion was particularly lively today, and a brand-new red cloth was hung at the door.
Liu Chan was standing in front of the Shen Mansion and talking and laughing with the two brothers of the Shen family, and the three of them did not forget to look at the entrance of the street from time to time, looking forward to something.
The neighbors all know that today is the day when the baby daughter of the old patriarch Shen gets married, although the gossip at the temple fair a few days ago has not calmed down, but after all, this is the big family in the city to marry the daughter, and many people who love to be lively have stood in front of the Shen Mansion and looked at the inside of the Shen Mansion.
In the boudoir of Shen Mansion Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, who was wearing a gorgeous bridal red robe, lowered her head slightly, fiddled back and forth with her hairpin, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Sister Yingying, is this hairpin a little crooked." ”
Zhang Yingying, who was sorting out Xiao Wu's underwear, hurriedly ran over, looked at the somewhat crooked hairpin that was fiddled with by Xiao Wu's hands, and said with a smile while helping to tidy it up: "What's there, it's good, don't move." ”
Xiao Wu put his mind at ease, blinked his big watery eyes, and complained slightly: "Why hasn't Brother Xiao Yan come yet." As he spoke, he wanted to open the door and go out to have a look.
Zhang Yingying hurriedly pulled Xiao Wu over, and persuaded with a dissatisfied smile: "How can it be so fast, I remember the day I married your brother Liu, my legs sitting in the house were a little numb." As he spoke, he didn't forget to look like his sister was a person who had come over.
"And then?"
"Then they married me." Zhang Yingying continued to help Xiao Wu tidy up her clothes as she spoke.
"No, no, I mean you at night." Xiao Wu hurriedly dragged her robe and ran to Zhang Yingying's shyly answer, and the last few words were almost said close to Yingying's ear.
"Humph! As soon as I mentioned this, I got angry, your brother Liu got drunk that night and vomited everywhere, I was angry at the time and beat him up! Zhang Yingying frowned and said that she did not forget to fold her clothes heavily.
"And then."
"After that, he didn't dare to see me again." Zhang Yingying clapped her hands easily, then sighed with a little emotion and said, "It's only after my father and father died that I paid attention to me." ”
"Don't talk about this, you wait in the house for a while, don't go out, I'll go and see." Without waiting for Xiao Wu to speak, Zhang Yingying turned around and ran out after speaking.
As soon as she walked out, looking at Liu Chan who was laughing with the two brothers of the Shen family at the gate, Zhang Yingying calmed down, as if she had done something, squinted her crescent moon eyes of love, and greeted her happily.
"Brother Adou, is Xiao Yan here?"
Liu Chan watched Zhang Yingying running towards him happily, squinted at the sun that was almost noon, and said with a smile: "It's almost soon." ”
As soon as the words fell, Shen Yun happily said to everyone: "Look, it's coming!" ”
I saw that on the road ahead, Jiang Xiaoyan, who was wearing a groom's clothes, was sitting on a high-headed horse with a red face, and slowly walked with the people beating gongs and drums around him. I didn't forget to nod when I saw someone I knew well, and I looked proud.
Zhang Yingying saw that she was coming, and hurriedly ran to the backyard, for fear that Xiao Wu would do something wrong and break the tradition. And the two brothers of the Shen family and Liu Chan smiled and waited for Jiang Xiaoyan to come.
"I've kept you waiting." Jiang Xiaoyan dismounted and saluted everyone apologetically.
Shen Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help Jiang Xiaoyan with a smile and said, "Not long after, you and your little sister will worship the old man first, and when we come to you, you have to have a drink with our two eldest brothers." Ha ha. As he spoke, he took Jiang Xiaoyan and everyone towards the Shen Mansion.
At this time, Xiao Wu also came to the hall under the leadership of the matchmaker and Yingying, and the two of them bowed and smiled, and the Shen patriarch planned to walk towards Jiang Xiaoyan's house.
Xiao Wu and Jiang Xiaoyan, the newcomers, had just walked to the gate of the Shen Mansion amid the laughter of everyone, and Ma Dai came over with a team of cavalry.
The crowd who was gathering in front of the Shen Mansion to watch the excitement saw Ma Dai riding a horse, and they were all surprised, only to see Ma Dai and the cavalry dismount one after another. Ma Dai took out a holy decree from his bosom.
Before everyone knew what was going on, Ma Dai touched his hands and said loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, Jiang Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaowu have taken the decree." ”
When Ma Dai said this, everyone was stunned, and the soldiers behind Ma Dai shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, the holy decree of the Son of Heaven is still not kneeling." ”
They are all ordinary people, where have they seen this kind of scene, they were yelled at by the soldiers, and everyone who was in a daze hurriedly knelt down.
It turned out that Ma Dai solved the problem of water shortage, so he went back to resume his life, and by the way, he reported what happened in Mianxian County to Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, and Zhuge Liang was also very satisfied.
Then Ma Dai told Zhuge Liang about the holy decree, after all, Liu Chan also spoke, and Zhuge Liang was not embarrassed in these small things.
The purpose is naturally to affirm the love between Xiao Wu and Xiao Yan, in Liu Chan's instructions at the time, how to write something, and then the blessings and various rewards for the two newlyweds.
Listening to Ma Dai's catchy recitation of the holy decree, in addition to the people who bowed their heads to listen, only Zhang Yingying pursed her lips and lowered her head and snickered, and from time to time she looked at Liu Chan next to her who was listening carefully with a serious face.
After Ma Dai finished reading, he handed over the holy decree to Jiang Xiaoyan, who was still in a daze.
"This, Brother Ma, this is sent to me and Xiao Wu by His Majesty." Jiang Xiaoyan still stared at Ma Dai in disbelief, his face full of doubts.
Ma Dai looked at Liu Chan who was smiling awkwardly, nodded affirmatively at Xiaoyan and said with a smile: "Haha, do you think I can't still fake the holy decree." ”
"But" Xiao Yan still couldn't figure out what was going on.
Liu Chan hurriedly smiled and said, "Hurry up, Xiao Yan, when the auspicious day passes, Xiao Wu won't be able to pass the house." ”
was reminded by Liu Chan like this, Jiang Xiaoyan came to his senses, and said embarrassedly to everyone: "That, you have to go to my house to drink today." Hahaha. ”
At this time, everyone gradually eased up from the turmoil of the holy decree, happily responded, and walked towards Jiang Xiaoyan's house in the sound of gongs and drums.
Since then, the marriage of Xiao Wu and Xiao Yan has also been said by the people to be a good story, because the Son of Heaven has affirmed it, in the minds of these croppers, the Son of Heaven is the sky!
The lively wedding continued under the twinkling starlight, and Shen Yun, who had drunk a few bottles, was still pestering Jiang Xiaoyan to drink, and Jiang Xiaoyan, who had just vomited, did not refuse.
At this time, in the corner of the banquet, Ma Dai was kneeling solemnly in front of Liu Chan, not knowing what he was talking about.
Ma Dai was sitting opposite Liu Chan and asked in a low voice, "I wonder when Your Majesty will go back?" ”
Liu Chanqian took a sip of his wine glass, looked at the happy crowd who were drinking, sighed and said, "I have to wait a little longer, tomorrow I will leave here with Yingying, and I will go back in a little while." ”
Since Liu Chan didn't say where to go, Ma Dai naturally didn't dare to ask, pondered for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Listen to the prime minister's meaning, I am afraid that there will be chaos in Nanzhong soon!" ”
Liu Chan was not surprised, perhaps after kneeling for a long time, he slowly got up, walked outside the house, and looked at the starry sky.
After a pause, Liu Chan raised his head and sighed: "Since the death of my father and the loss of Jingzhou, now the country is lacking and the people are poor, and it is not suitable to fight. ”
Then he seemed to think of something, turned to stare at Ma Dai and analyzed: "The grain mansion here should also speed up the preparations, and although the matter of water shortage has been solved, this is not a long-term solution, so let the prime minister send people to repair the channel of Dujiangyan." It's better to send troops to guard it, this is the long-term solution. ”
Listening to Liu Chan's words, but every sentence was really to the point, Ma Dai looked up to Liu Chan, the emperor, and solemnly promised.
Then Liu Chan stopped talking, and Ma Dai retreated with interest.
"Let you mess around for a while, and when I have soldiers and food, I'll go and talk to you well!"
Liu Chan exhaled, muttered, paused and looked at the sky in the distance and sighed: "General Chen Zhi, don't let me down!" ”
"Brother Adou, haha, it turns out that you are here, come, drink and drink."
At this time, Zhang Yingying walked towards Liu Chan with a drunken face in her hand and a wine jug, and did not forget to pour another sip of wine while talking.
Looking at Zhang Yingying, who was staggering while walking, Liu Chan was helpless for a while, but he still hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and complained while walking to the room: "Still drinking, it's all like this, go, hurry back and rest." ”
"Sister Xiaowu got married today, and people are happy." Zhang Yingying held the wine bottle in her hand and let Liu Chan hold it, muttering as she walked.
Liu Chan ignored the drunk Zhang Yingying and carried her into the room that Ma Dai had just prepared.
As soon as Zhang Yingying was put down on the bed, she suddenly sat up, pouting and muttering dissatisfiedly: "Adou, I haven't had a glass of wine with you yet, although I beat you up on the night we got married, but why do you always avoid me!" ”
"I" Liu Chan looked at Zhang Yingying, who was drunk, and didn't know how to explain.
"I don't care, you want to have a drink with me, you are my man." Zhang Yingying shook off Liu Chan and wanted to go down to get the wine.
"Okay, drink, don't move, I'll get it." Liu Chan helped Zhang Yingying sit down, hurriedly went to the table to fill two glasses of wine, and walked carefully in front of Zhang Yingying.
Seeing that Liu Chan really brought the wine, Yingying was satisfied. snatched the wine glass from Liu Chan's hand. In this way, the two of them held hands and drank a glass of wine officially under the dim oil lamp.
"Brother Adou, it's still you who are good to Yingying." Zhang Yingying, who had just finished drinking a glass of wine, and Liu Chan were like good buddies, and their hands were also on Liu Chan's shoulders, and they kissed Liu Chan's face fiercely, and before Liu Chan could react in a daze, he fell asleep on the bed with his mouth contented.
Liu Chan, who came back to his senses, looked at Zhang Yingying, who was a little drunk and sleeping peacefully in front of him, shook his head helplessly and smiled, he now felt that although Zhang Yingying was a little willful and rude, she was also a kind and sensible woman.
When Liu Chan thought of this, he suddenly felt a little more pity for Zhang Yingying in his heart, but he still settled down and carefully covered Zhang Yingying with a thin quilt.
Just about to get up and go to Huang Hao's house to sleep, Liu Chan seemed to think of something, and kissed Zhang Yingying's pretty face that looked slightly red under the light like a thief. Only then did he touch the place where Zhang Yingying had just been kissed with satisfaction, and walked out of the door humming a little song.
At this time, in Xiao Wu's room, I looked at Jiang Xiaoyan, who had just been helped back by the swaying big pillar and fell asleep on the bed. Xiao Wu frowned, as if she remembered that Sister Yingying beat Brother Liu on the wedding night, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
