Yu laughed and said, "That's the marriage of the son." The auspicious day of the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info is coming! ”
It turned out that on the third day of returning to Fuyi, Liu Yong personally went to Yu Fan's Mansion and asked him to officiate his marriage and ask him for the etiquette of preparing for the marriage. After hearing this, Yu readily agreed, explained in detail, and announced to the heavens that an auspicious day was set. Liu Yong sent Liao Hua to lead troops to escort Diao Chan and Cai Wenji to Anhui City first, and at the same time prepared four heavy gifts, which were sent to Qiao Gong, and sent his own soldiers to Xiangyang and other places to invite Zhuge Liang and other friends. While vigorously carrying out the patriotic health special action, Liu Yong took his brothers to decorate the new house and procured items everywhere.
These craftsmen and merchants who were originally at the bottom of the society have long been promoted, and they are not much different from the clans, they can wear clothes of various materials and colors they like, they can use various specifications of utensils, they can build their favorite houses, they can freely intermarry, and they can even be officials. Now the county's Bicao Pengshi, Cangcao Pengshi, and Medical Cao Pengshi used to be ordinary merchants, farmers, and Langzhong.
When these people heard that these objects were used by Liu Yong's wife, they were very excited and extremely happy, and they worked tirelessly day and night to express their gratitude to Liu Yong. Liu Yong is more frugal in other places, but he is generous and generous in the matter of marriage, even at any cost, and all objects are refined and exquisite in the selection of materials; The design is extremely ingenious and luxurious.
The day has finally arrived. Liu Yong wore a golden crown, a big red auspicious suit, a drum band, a carriage pulled a salute, and went to Anhui City to welcome his relatives. This group has a large number of people, a clear banner, and gorgeous clothing, which is eye-catching. First of them were twenty servants, dressed in black and with red trim and red satin tied around their waists, riding horses of the same black, and sounding gongs in front of them to open the way; Then there were twenty people dressed in printed red robes riding one-colored red horses. Lined up in two rows, holding aloft a tardled umbrella cover; Next came eight white open-top carriages, draped in red and coloured, carrying a group of drummers. It is also a red silk belt around the waist, wearing auspicious clothes, blowing and blowing all the way. Immediately followed by Liu Yong, who was riding a white war horse without a single stray hair, followed by four delicate carts drawn by white horses that were also tall. The carriage is a sedan chair, covered with red embroidered brocade, the side of the sedan chair is decorated with yellow tassels, and a wind chime is hung at each of the four corners, which looks both luxurious and exquisite, and behind it is a long string of carriages carrying all kinds of salutes.
The last to press the formation was a majestic honor guard of sixty people. This guard of honor is amazing, it is the work of many generals such as Wei Yan and Gan Ning, just to show a good life in the team to welcome relatives, in order to achieve a unique and full house effect. They deliberately selected dozens of white horses from among the many military horses in the whole army. All of them are pure white, with high heads and long legs, and they have chosen a tall and short, generally burly samurai sixty as the wedding ceremony. Divided into three teams of guns, knives, and arrows of twenty men each, all of them were uniformly dressed in new armor, wearing red, blue, and white cloaks, and the pace was the same, neat, and majestic.
Of course, the most eye-catching is the quasi-Xinyun Liu Yong. His mount is a majestic war horse carefully selected by the generals. The whole body is snow-white, with a five-color velvet blanket, a gold-lacquered saddle, a red ribbon, and a big red flower in the horse's head. It stands out from the crowd. The red auspicious dress was sewn by the embroiderers for three days and nights, and it was inlaid with gold wire and jewels, shining brightly; The golden crown on the head is made of gold and inlaid with a night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg, which is extremely dazzling. It's really "three points of talent, seven points of dress". Liu Yong sat upright on the horse, heroic and shy, looking forward to the brilliance.
There are a lot of villages and towns along the way, and these villagers have never seen such a spectacular welcoming procession, and they all feel novel, helping the old and the young, as if they are celebrating a festival, they come to watch and earn enough eyeballs. This scene is really hated and loved, the girls envy that there will be men who can marry me like this in the future, and the guys hate me so much, you are so swaggering that you don't let us marry a wife? Of course, it's more about watching the excitement, using it as an after-dinner conversation or a well-informed joke.
Thirty miles away from Qiaojiazhuang, Liao Hua accompanied the marriage principal of the Qiao family to greet him, and then played drums in unison, set up a ceremonial array, and marched towards Qiaojiazhuang in a majestic procession. The places here have long been freshly painted, and every house is lit up with lights, filled with a strong sense of joy. The streets were crowded with people who greeted them, all dressed in new clothes and smiling.
Liu Yong dismounted in front of Qiao's mansion, and two pro-soldiers trotted over all the way and handed Liu Yong the greeting documents. Liu Yong held the "welcome book" in both hands, held it high above the top, ran up the steps in small steps, and humbly handed it to the butler. The housekeeper took it and sent it into the inner hall. Liu Yong held a wild goose again, and this custom is called "holding a wild goose to marry a wife". The wild geese are monogamous, never abandoned, stay for a lifetime, one dies and the other no longer chooses a mate, so the ancients used the wild goose to do a salute to symbolize the deep love of husband and wife, with single-mindedness. However, this time Liu Yong married four women at a time, which was inevitably a little incompatible. The housekeeper took the wild goose and let people send it in, and then the gift list of the gift was also sent in. After a while, a word came from inside, "Please let your son-in-law enter the hall." When the crowd heard this, they burst into cheers.
The housekeeper smiled and bowed down to invite Liu Yong in. Liu Yong smiled and bowed to the crowd before taking a step into the gate and coming to the main hall of the inner mansion. Qiao Gong was wearing auspicious clothes, his face was full of red light, sitting on a chair, and when he saw Liu Yong coming in, he stroked his beard and nodded and smiled. Liu Yong took a few steps forward, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed as a son-in-law, while Qiao Xuan accepted it safely.
Liu Yong took out the edict of the emperor's relatives from his arms and sent it to Qiao Xuan's hands. Qiao Xuan took a closer look, surprised and delighted, he didn't expect the emperor to personally marry his daughter, what a glory and how respectful. Qiao Xuan pulled Liu Yong up, and said with tears in his eyes: "Virtuous son-in-law, you have made such a big show, and there is a lot of movement along the way, which has earned enough face for the old man." Now that there is a marriage letter given by the Holy Father, the old man is satisfied, and this life is in vain. The old man handed over Ying'er and the other three righteous daughters to you, and I only hope that you will be happy and healthy, and the old man will be content. ”
Liu Yong immediately knelt down and said solemnly: "Liu Yong will definitely treat their sisters wholeheartedly, treat them as treasures, and will not say a word to them." ”
Qiao Xuan helped Liu Yong up and said with a smile: "You are a good boy, the old man can trust you." The old man will also be invited when you set off, and it will be the day after tomorrow. Knowing that Liu Yong didn't understand a lot, Qiao Xuan said again: "In the past two days, the old man is going to have a banquet for local guests, and the virtuous son-in-law must accompany him." Also, you can't meet these days, you won't be reluctant, right? Liu Yong didn't expect Qiao Xuan to make fun of himself, so he couldn't help blushing and shaking his head again and again.
Since he couldn't meet in person, Liu Yong used his leisure in the past two days to sort out the current situation and pay close attention to the movements everywhere. Liao Hua first reported Cao Cao's movements. Cao Hui Xiang Dongxing troops successively captured the plains and Nanpi, killed Yuan Tan and Guo Tu, and unified Jizhou and Qingzhou.
Liu Yong pondered intently, so far, except for the fact that Emperor Xian is out of Cao Cao's control, the rest is still proceeding step by step according to the development of historical facts, but the time is undoubtedly much earlier. It is only six years after Jian'an (201 AD), and Cao Cao has pacified most of the north. Liu Yong was a little worried in his heart, and he didn't know which day the wheel of history would suddenly turn a corner, or increase his speed, so he must prepare early. But on another thought, although Cao Jun is like a bamboo, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, and senior cadres in Youzhou are still Cao Cao's henchmen. If these three people are not eliminated for a day, Cao Cao will not dare to go south easily, and it will take at least a year to calculate the time. Liu Yong felt a little relieved, and asked Sun Quan about his current situation. Liao Huadao, Sun Quan has Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others to assist and recruit talents, and now the situation in Jiangdong is becoming more and more stable.
Liu Yong nodded, originally Liu Biao and Sun Quan would never form an alliance, but with Emperor Xian, these two should be able to put aside their grievances and form an alliance to reject Cao Cao. First divide the world into a strong momentum, and then "build a high wall, accumulate grain", develop and expand their own strength, and then slowly figure it out, and the revival of the Han family is expected. However, his knowledge and strategy are still a little worse, and he must discuss it with Zhuge Liang after getting married, Liu Yong made up his mind, and his heart was happy, so he took Liao Hua out to ride a horse and tour the mountains.
On the third day, Da Qiao freshened up and dressed up, and said goodbye to Qiao Xuan in the company of Xiao Qiao. Da Qiao combed the popular "Fallen Bun" among girls, her black and soft hair was pulled up and drooped to one side, and two golden hairpins were inserted in her hair, one with a jewel on her feet, which looked very playful and cute; A well-fitting red yeast skirt makes the figure even more concave and convex, full of charm.
Seeing his father's gray beard, dense wrinkles, and slightly bowed back, Da Qiao couldn't help but feel sad and threw himself into Qiao Xuan's arms, tears gushing up. Qiao Xuan's old tears were full of tears, and he was very reluctant in his heart; Xiao Qiao thought about separating from his sister, hugged Da Qiao's body and burst into tears, crying silently. After a while, Dong Yun, Diao Chan, and Cai Wenji also came to say goodbye together, and they didn't know when they would see each other again, and everyone couldn't help crying.
Just when the family was inseparable, someone outside sang, "The auspicious time has come, and the newlyweds say goodbye." Qiao Xuan wiped his tears and forced a smile: "Son." Liu Yong is waiting for you outside, go quickly. ”
Da Qiao knelt down on his knees, bowed three times, and cried: "Father, please forgive my daughter for not being filial in front of you, take care." Then he said to Xiao Qiao: "Sister, you have to take care of your father." Little Joe burst into tears and sobbed in agreement. Qiao Xuan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, don't miss the auspicious time." ”
"I'm going to see my sisters off." Xiao Qiao thought that all the sisters were leaving, and his heart was even more sour, and he barely squeezed out a smile.
Qiao Xuan saw that the room was empty in a blink of an eye, so he couldn't help but sigh lightly, leaning back on the chair, looking depressed and lonely, and suddenly aged a lot. was in the midst of emotion, when he suddenly heard someone shouting softly: "Qiao Gong." ”
Qiao Xuan looked up and saw a handsome young man in red bowing to him, but it was Liao Hua under Liu Yong's account.
"What's the matter with General Liao?"
"Liu Gongzi has something to say to his subordinates to Qiao Gong."
When Qiao Xuan heard what Liao Hua said, he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and was silent. (To be continued.) )
