The welcoming team blows and blows, and returns to Fuyi. Pen Fun Pavilion walked www.biquge.info to the long pavilion ten miles away, Huo Ran stood Dong Xi, Pei Yuanshao and his party, and Zhuge Liang and his wife, Xu Shu, Pang Tong and other friends were accompanied.

Liu Yong was surprised and delighted, hurriedly jumped off the horse, said hello to Zhuge Liang and the others, first grabbed in front of Dong Xian, hugged these brothers who lived and died together one by one, and punched him in the chest, and said with concern: "Big brother is not injured, right?" Dong Xi smiled: "My brother is in good health." ”

Liu Yong asked, "When did the eldest brother set off?" Why didn't he fly the pigeon first to send the message back, but the little brother was in a hurry. If the eldest brother is not there, the younger brother can't get married. Dong Xi said with a smile: "Actually, the eldest brother sent the letter earlier, I'm afraid the pigeon flew elsewhere." ”

"Holy peace?"

"Everything is fine in Xiangyang, and Liu Biao and Liu Bei are extremely humble to the saint."

Liu Yong nodded, and asked again, "How about the casualties over there?" ”

"The soldiers left behind by Cao Ren did not resist much, so only five people were seriously wounded, eleven people were lightly wounded, and no one was killed."

Liu Yong nodded and said with a smile: "This is the best." Otherwise, the brothers will not be able to get married with peace of mind. He asked again: "Can Cao Ren be chased to Xiangyang?" ”

Dong Xi replied: "Cao Ren has few soldiers, and he only chased him fifty miles away from Xiangyang and withdrew his troops. ”

Liu Yong secretly thought that Cao Cao was still in Youzhou and couldn't get out, and he wouldn't go south for a short time, so he could rest for a while, so he smiled and said: "After the New Year, let's go to Xiangyang to see the saint together." Dong Xi nodded in agreement.

Liu Yong was in a happy mood, but he didn't notice the inadvertent indignation in Dong Xi's eyes. Liu Yong came to Zhuge Liang's side and said with a smile: "Brother came early. Liu Yong thought that Liu Bei, Guan Yu and other military affairs were complicated, and Chen Deng was in Cao Ying, so he just invited Zhuge Liang and his wife, Xu Shu, Pang Tong and other friends in Longzhong.

Zhuge Liang smiled and arched his hand: "Brother is married, how dare you be a brother." Huang Yueying said with a smile on the side: "Originally, there was a gift, my brother must like it, but it is not appropriate as a congratulatory gift." My husband and wife thought about it for a long time, and we congratulated it. As he spoke, he held a scroll.

Liu Yong unfolded it. It is Zhuge Liang's handwritten "Huainanzi. A passage from the Lord's Discipline. The scroll is the highest-grade sandalwood pink paper produced by Fuyi, with pine smoke as ink, neat and steady official script, and the gestures between the characters are coherent. The atmosphere is majestic, and it is really like seeing words. Liu Yong couldn't help but praise again and again, and casually recited one of the sentences: "'Is it because it is not desert and there is no clear ambition, and if it is not quiet, there is no far-reaching...... or the brother understands the elder brother, I like it very much." He smiled again: "Brother please do one more thing for my brother." ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Brother, please command." ”

"When my brother has a child. Would it be good to ask my brother to make another "Book of Commandments"? ”

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "I must offer it." ”

The group talked and laughed and marched towards Fuyi, but unexpectedly, there were a large number of people welcoming them from the far distance from the city. It turned out that Fuyi's father and fellow villagers knew that it was Liu Yong who got married, and they were all happy for him. Most of these simple villagers worshiped Liu Yong's grace and knew that Liu Yong had already explained and did not accept any congratulatory gifts. Someone came up with a way to tell the neighbors, and everyone readily agreed, so every house was painted and every house was lit up. The whole city congratulated Liu Yong on his new marriage.

The villagers lined up on both sides of the road, one by one dressed in colorful clothes, smiling, seeing Liu Yong's motorcade approaching, they grabbed a handful of petals from the flower basket around them and threw them in the air, and the cheers resounded through the clouds. Seeing this, Liu Yong was moved to tears, and thanked him again and again. The four brides had never seen such a spectacular wedding scene, and their hearts were full of emotion and joy. When he entered the city, Liu Yong saw that both sides were crowded with elation. The cheering crowd slipped away with red lanterns, and there was no end in sight, and they couldn't help but burst into tears.

The auspicious day has arrived. Liu Yong took a bath, Eguanbo took it, and when the time came, he was accompanied by Liao Hua and came to the front of the main hall. At this time, the patio was already crowded with guests and friends who came to congratulate, all of them smiling. There was a lot of commotion. Liu Yong looked around, and then looked at Xitang, only to see that the front was a large case, covered with large red satin, and the side hanging to the outside of the hall was embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water, with an intimate expression. There are tea, water, melons, fruits, pastries and other things on the table, and a red and gold-painted dragon and phoenix candle is lit on one side; There are three sandalwood sticks inserted in a bronze tripod, and the green smoke is swaying upward, and then a bright yellow scroll is offered on the latter copper niche. There is a big red chair on each side of the case, which is also covered with gold and red silk, which is very gorgeous. There is a group of red gauze lanterns on both sides of the main hall, and the windows and hanging beams around are also red silk lightly, and the yellow silk hangs slightly, and the eyes are full of joy. Yu turned over and stood aside in a bright red auspicious suit, smiling with a smile.

"The bride has arrived!" The master of ceremonies stretched out his voice and shouted loudly, immediately suppressing the noise in the hall. Liu Yong and all the guests looked at the side door, and after a while, the red light in front led the way, and Yahuan helped their respective ladies to rush out. At that time, there was no red hijab, so the appearance of each bride could be seen clearly, these four people on the head or "fallen bun", or "fallen horse bun", not the same, inserted golden hairpins, emerald hairpins, step shakes and other things, all wearing red embroidered skirts, decorated with all kinds of jewelry, shining in the light against the background. Although there are slight differences in height, fat and thin, they have the same pink face and peach cheeks, and they are both ashamed and happy. Most of these guests were Liu Yong's subordinates, young and lively, and when they saw that the brides were like flowers and jade, they cheered on the side.

There is no size in the three days of the wedding, and these boys have no taboos, and one of his subordinates shouted: "Brothers, do you think the bride of the prince is beautiful?" ”

"Beautiful!" The following replied in unison, followed by a laugh.

"Son-in-law, do you think your sisters-in-law are beautiful?"

Liu Yong had already seen his soul flying out of the sky, and replied casually: "Beautiful." ”

"Which one is the most beautiful?" Someone else coaxed.

"It's all beautiful." Liu Yong is not fooled.

"That's not going to work. We can all see it, the bride has her own beauty method, do you agree to say this? Not satisfied? ”

"No yes, not satisfied." Again, a neat answer. As soon as the words fell, someone suddenly shouted: "No sincerity! The crowd laughed even more.

Zhuge Liang stood up and said, "I don't think it's as good as this." If the groom is asked to use different four-word words to describe the four brides, it must be different and accurate, otherwise how about punishing him? ”

"Good!" Another burst of laughter.

"From left to right." Zhuge Liang led Liu Yong to Da Qiao's side and said with a smile, "Brother, come on." ”

Liu Yong didn't think about it, and said loudly: "The country is beautiful and fragrant." Everyone applauded in unison, Liu Yong was a little proud, and Da Qiao was flushed. Shame and joy.

The second place is Dong Yun. Liu Yong looked at her with a smile and said, "Little jasper." "Appropriate!"

The third place is Cai Wenji. Liu Yong thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Show off your wisdom." "Not bad!"

The last one is Diao Chan, Liu Yong thought about it. Be careful: "The country is overwhelmed." Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "It's somewhat similar to the first one." Then he asked the others, "Do you think it is okay?" ”

"No! Re-talk a ......"

"Two ...... Again"

Zhuge Liang smiled slyly and said, "Brother has nothing else to say." ”

Liu Yong didn't know that these people were deliberately making things difficult, but he didn't care and said: "It's okay, your son-in-law has a lot of words in his belly." Born beautiful, like a fairy, sinking fish and geese, and shy flowers in the closed moon......"

"Wait." Zhuge Liang interrupted Liu Yong's talking, frowned and asked: "We all understand the first two words, what does this 'sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers' mean?" ”

Liu Yong was stunned, he got carried away just now, these two idioms are only available in later generations, and they are to describe the "four beauties". However, Liu Yong's mind turned very quickly, and he quickly replied: "This is our language there, which is specially used to describe women's beauty." When the fish saw it, it was embarrassed to sink down; When the geese saw it, they were stunned and forgot to flap their wings and fell off; When the moon saw it, it was better to hide in the clouds; The flower was ashamed of herself and lowered her head in shame. ”

Everyone applauded when they heard this explanation, and Diao Chan looked even more ashamed. More bright and moving.

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Admire." However, my brother still made a little mistake just now, so let's punish him a little. As he spoke, Zhuge Liang pointed to the word "Xi" in the hall and asked with a smile: "Brother, you made this word yourself, right?" What does it mean, the little brother doesn't know, I don't think everyone knows, right? Do you want to know? ”

"Yes!" Everyone spoke in unison. The fourth girl also saw this word for the first time, and she didn't know what Liu Yong's intention was, so she also listened attentively.

Liu Yong replied: "You look at this word carefully. It is made up of two 'Xi' characters. One represents a man and the other represents a woman, indicating that marriage is not a matter of either party, but a happy event shared by both men and women. And these two happy words are generally the same size. Relying on each other means respecting each other and never abandoning each other. The crowd nodded their heads and praised the wonderful writing.

A subordinate suddenly shouted: "Just now our son-in-law said that monogamy is two joys, but today the master married four beauties, shouldn't we write five joys?" The crowd burst into laughter. Liu Yong was thick-skinned and said with a smile: "If you want me to marry four times, then you can get four gifts, don't you know what to do?" I'm doing this for your good. The crowd burst into laughter again.

"There's an interesting story about this character!" Liu Yong said with a grin.

Everyone shouted in unison, "Childe, talk about it quickly." At this time, Yu laughed and said: "Okay, okay, the story will be talked about later, it's not good to delay the auspicious time, let's start here." As he spoke, he cleared his throat and sang: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, my fair lady, gentleman is good." Liu Yong was newly married, and the guests and friends gathered to congratulate him. The auspicious time has arrived, play music, and invite the newcomers to the church. ”

The bride sent a big red flower wrapped by a ribbon, divided into five, and handed it to Liu Yongwan at one end, and the other four ends were naturally in the hands of the four women. The five of them did not squint, looked solemn, and walked up to the hall. Yu turned and chanted the praise melodiously, "The peach is dying, scorching its glory." The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room. The peach is dying, and there is a fact. The son is home, and his family room is appropriate. The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming. The son is home, and it is suitable for his family. ”

The bride and groom stood still in front of Yu and turned to face the outside of the hall. The guests also entered the hall, and in a moment there was a crowd. Yu Fu smiled and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. After a while, Yu cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "The newcomer will do the 'Wo Yu Ceremony'." ”

The word wo is from "Zhou Li? Chunguan? Yu Ren", "everything is beautiful", refers to washing hands with water, indicating the attitude of both parties towards marriage, with the meaning of purity and solemnity. Yahuan and the bride are divided into copper basins, and both parties are allowed to wash their hands in the basin. Yu turned and sang: "After the 'Wo Yu Ceremony' is finished, the 'Same Prison Ceremony' will be performed." In the Han Dynasty, the meal system was generally divided, and the "Tongjiao Ceremony" was for the husband and wife to eat meat and rice in the same bowl, indicating that the two newlyweds would become a family from then on.

"After the 'same prison ceremony', perform the 'church worship'."

Yahuan prepared the futon, and "worshiped heaven and earth...... Liu Yong and the four girls knelt down and looked into the sky and worshipped.

"Get up, worship the high church." The four daughters were gloomy for a while, Liu Yong's parents died, and the daughter-in-law could only bow to the empty chair. But when he turned around, he saw an old man sitting on the chair, with tears in his eyes, but a look of joy and happiness. (To be continued.) )
