Chapter 196: The Night of Candles in the Cave Room

In the cold winter of the third year of Zhongping, Han Jin spent it with his family in Chang'an.

Several heavy snowfalls, which are said to be able to harvest a good year, did not alleviate the decadence of the Han as always.

Time is the best agent of forgetting, and Bian Qingqing's matter seems to be over. Only the case files of the prefectures and counties near Luoyang still have information on the arrest of the assassin Yang Aruo. It's a pity that the ice is frozen there, and few people have inquired about the whole story.

But Yang Aruo's name is getting louder and louder. As a result, the assassination of corrupt officials and corrupt officials has occurred one after another in the four seas. In the end, he killed someone and learned from Yang Aruo's message, the murderer was so-and-so, and the news reached Chang'an, which couldn't help but make Han Jin laugh.

These guys, think they are thieves and handsome Chu Liuxiang!

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom.

In this way, Zhongping sneaked into the land unknowingly for four years. Dressed in a layer of green for all things in the world.

However, this year, it was still destined not to let the Spirit Emperor be happy, just after the cold winter, the spring cold had not gone, but there was a riot in Xingyang. The rebel army waved its army to break Zhongmou and killed Zhongmu County, and Ling Luohao hit the main book Pan Ye with a blow, and for a while, the rebel army was greatly invigorated. Luoyang shook, Henan shook.

In March, Emperor Ling ordered Henan Yin He to suppress the troops, and fought fiercely with the rebel army for more than a month, killing the head, and the rebel army disappeared.

However, all this did not affect Han Jin of Dao Chang'an, but at this time, he was already busy.

Zhengxi General's Mansion has been changed to Zhenxi General's Mansion.

Outside the house, there is an endless stream of people coming and going, and the cars are like flowing water! In front of the door, there are two big red happy words, full of joy.

In the mansion, the people were happy and busy, and Han Jin's generals were also busy and busy, but they were not idle.

The General's Mansion is busy, and so are officials of all sizes near Chang'an. Zhenxi General Han Jin is getting married, as a subordinate official, how dare he slack off.

Speaking of which, Han Jin is now in his twenties, and at that time, he was already considered an older youth.

Therefore, half a month ago, under the coercion of Han's mother, Han Jin finally made up his mind to get married.

He didn't care about himself, but the girls couldn't wait.

Later generations often say that marriage is the grave of love! However, there are still countless women who lure men to the grave of love, so it is called the most poisonous woman's heart. As for men, they always lead women to the grave of love, which is called non-toxic and non-husband.

For Han Jin, the sum of his two lives is forty or fifty years old, but for marriage, he is still a big girl in a sedan chair, the first time. There is excitement and anticipation in my heart, but also hesitation and confusion.

Looking back on the future, the previous life is like yesterday, it seems to be prosperous, just like the great river going east, and it has disappeared. The fate of this life is suddenly like a dream, which makes him feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

The world is changing, and life is impermanent!

"Big brother, you're smirking again!"

While Han Jin was in a daze, Han Shuo jumped in.

"Second brother, what's wrong?" Han Jin woke up in shock and patted his head, for some reason, in the past few days, he always recalled the past in his previous life.

"Mother called you over! If you have a sister-in-law, you forget your brother, and there is no one with a different surname! Han Shuo was muttering to himself in his mouth, and he had already been hit on the head.

"Stinky boy, dare to arrange your big brother! It's grown up."

Han Jin got up with a smile and walked to the backyard, he really liked his second brother.

Han Shuo pursed his lips behind him, his face annoyed.

"If you go, you'll get stupid if you hit my head, and you keep hitting me on the head." After speaking, he followed Han Jin and walked out.

"Big brother, I saw a beautiful woman yesterday, who looks very punctual! Can you help me, say good things in front of my mother, and let me take a maid too? ”

Han Jin suddenly stopped and nodded to Han Shuo.

Han Shuo was overjoyed, and was about to say thank you.

Caught off guard, Han Jin suddenly said: "Not good! ”

After that, Ji Xuan turned his head and walked away, and said as he walked: "Second brother, you listen to me, before the age of eighteen, you are not allowed to mess with girls, practice martial arts well, and have time to read the art of war!" If you dare to be disobedient, hum, you know the consequences......"

Originally, Han Shuo himself had two girls waiting for him, but later, Han Jin was afraid that Han Shuo would soak in the women's pile and become Jia Baoyu, so he replaced the two maids with two small girls.

Because of this matter, Han Shuo really had a quarrel with Han Jin for a while.

However, Han Jin's eldest brother was like a father, and he crushed Han Shuo to death.

At this time, hearing Han Jin say this again, Han Shuo's angry eyes smoked, he flicked his sleeves, and scolded in a low voice: "Stinky big brother, dead big brother, you yourself were not a golden house a few years ago, you me off, tell my sister-in-law, I know all the things you do with flowers and grass!" ”

Han Jin turned his head and gave him a smile, "Second brother, I have been practicing martial arts for a short time recently, this is not good, I have to endure hardships in order to become a master." From tomorrow onwards, before I get married, I will practice marksmanship for four hours every day. Dian Wei, it's up to you to oversee! ”

After Han Jin finished speaking, he turned to leave, and after a while, he heard a heart-rending wail behind him.

"Big brother, you're so ruthless......"

A few years have passed, and Han's mother looks a little old, which is a little sad for a woman who is not forty years old. Han Jin sometimes thinks about how to come up with some beauty and skin care products. Unfortunately, this idea can only be called an idea.

"Mother, what's the matter with calling the child?"

Han's mother grabbed Han Jin's shoulders with both hands, and her eyes showed a burst of relief. What good thing in this world can make parents happier than their own children's success and success?

"Jin'er, you marry a few girls, your mother doesn't care, but you have to deal with the matter of the Qing girl, you also know that she has paid a lot for you!"

Han's mother's words were serious and long-hearted.

Han Jin nodded, "Mother don't worry, the child will be arranged!" ”

In this big wedding, two wives and two concubines, Bian Qingqing's identity did not dare to be revealed, so he could only fabricate a fake name called Jia Ming, and his identity also changed, nominally an orphan adopted by Han's mother since childhood.

Subsequently, the mother and son gossiped for a while, and Han Jin was called away.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many rules for wedding ceremonies.

There are five main rules, which are to ask for a name, make an alliance, complete the appointment, invite the date, and welcome in person.

Asking for a name is actually to check the eight characters of the birthday to see if they are in conflict with each other so that they can be matched. The alliance is not much different from the engagement of the later generations. After the hiring, it is also called Nacai. The invitation period is commonly known as "sending the head" or "mentioning it". To put it simply, there is a man who chooses to get married, that is, the man chooses the best date for marriage, and writes the male and female children on red paper, which is called the invitation letter, which is brought to the woman's house by the matchmaker, and the woman discusses the date of marriage. With the consent of the woman's reply, the man's family will send the woman's family with a gift book, a candle, a salute, etc., and the woman's family will give it to relatives and friends with a gift cake and tell it to return to the date. Kissing, the easiest to understand, but also the most cumbersome, is the so-called bride.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, on March 10, Chang'an, Zhenxi General Han Jin got married.

As early as a few years ago, Huang Zhong's family had moved out of the Han Mansion and bought a house in the south of the city. In order to marry, the four daughters also lived in the Huang family.

Therefore, early in the morning, both sides of Chang'ancheng Street were full of people watching. They dragged their families and lined up on both sides of the street, waiting for the arrival of the greeting procession.

After a while, the crowd in front of him suddenly became confused, and someone shouted: "It's coming, it's coming!" ”

"There? Over there? Little tiger head, let that, let the big aunt and I see ......"

The head is out, Han Jin is wearing a flame horse under his crotch, wearing a red and gold silk robe, wearing a nine-day unicorn golden black crown, stepping on his feet with dazzling cotton low boots, the whole person is full of energy, and there is a pear flower pressing begonia spirit.

Zhao Yun and Guo Jia opened the way in front, and the three thousand guards in the back surrounded four small sedan chairs and followed closely.

When the pedestrians on both sides saw the sedan chair, they were puzzled and asked what this thing was for, but they shook their heads left and right and said they didn't know.

The group beat gongs and drums and soon came to the door of Huang's house.

Unexpectedly, there was a young man standing in front of the door with a fierce look, blocking the door.

"Brother Xu, what kind of mess are you making, don't you want to be difficult for Brother Han? Hurry up and get out of the way, don't miss the good time! ”

"Brother-in-law, you don't know this, how can it be so easy to marry a bride, if you want to enter the house, it's also easy, send a hypnotic poem!"

Han Jin was speechless for a while, but he also knew the habits of this era, jumped off the horse in one step, his eyes scanned the surrounding crowd, and slowly stepped forward, "reading" a poem.

I don't know what night it is, urging the balcony to get closer to the mirror platform. Who said that hibiscus is planted in the water, and a branch is opened in the bronze mirror.

The poem praises the bride as a hibiscus, of course, the balcony mentioned in it is not the balcony of today, but the place where the goddess of the Tang Dynasty and the king of Chu are happy. Of course, there is also a hint of banter in this. It's just that Han Jin at this time has already exhausted Jiang Lang's talents, and he can come up with such a song, which is already to the point of running out of oil.

As soon as this poem came out, the crowd immediately erupted in applause.

"Brother Xu, enough is enough!" Seeing that Huang Xu still wanted to be funny, Han Jin's eyes widened, and Huang Xu immediately shut up. pinched his nose and smiled.

At this time, a mother-in-law walked to the front of the sedan chair, held a bronze mirror in her hand, and shone it inside, all at once.

At this time, in the inner courtyard, Huang Zhong and Su Weida slowly taught their daughters in turn.

"The child, since then, marries into the Han family, which is the Han family, filial piety to his mother-in-law, and takes care of the housework. Remember, remember! ”

At the same time, each of them was given a piece of clothing as evidence of admonition...... By the time the bride got on the sedan chair, an hour had passed.

On the way back, it is different from when it came, there is no flower cannon at this time, even if the firecrackers are wooden, but the gongs and drums, the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra, the earth-shattering sound.

Thousands of people surrounded the bride and groom, hugging each other, so lively. In particular, the four small sedan chairs make people full of strangeness.

It turns out that marrying can still be done like this! I have heard that this General Han knows a lot of strange things, but now that I see it, it really deserves its reputation!

The front one is the one who opened the way, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia were originally very standard, but now they are carefully dressed, and every move attracts the attention of the girl on the side of the road, causing bursts of shouts and screams. Let Han Jin in the back not be depressed.

These two bastards, in front of the general, beckoned bees and butterflies, and went back to talk about it. But I don't know if someone is arranging others to steal his limelight, or is he jealous that others are more handsome than him?

Behind the procession to open the way are the deacons, the lamp-bearers, the drums and music, and then the bride's sedan chair. Blowing and blowing along the road, presenting a festive scene. The sedan chair welcomes the man's house, and the neighbors and villagers also ask for auspicious money, which is called "blocking the door".

After entering the door, of course, it is to worship heaven and earth!

finally sent the bride to the cave room, but Han Jin was already sweating.

When will the evil customs come to an end! Seeing the tables of drinkers in the courtyard, Han Jin wailed in his heart.

With a roll of his eyes, he caught Zhang Fei and Dian Wei who were passing by.

"Yide, accompany your father-in-law to toast, the first half of the guests, you drink, the second half of the guests, the old man drinks!"

What else did Zhang Fei say, Han Jin's eyes widened.

"It's an order!"

Zhang Fei and Dian Wei glanced at each other, and a trace of helplessness flashed in their eyes. I agreed in frustration, but I was unconvinced.

"Lao Dian, the lord is obviously treating and bullying me!" Taking advantage of Han Jin talking to the guests in front, Zhang Fei said to Dian Wei with a laugh.

"The old man knows! Black charcoal, what do you pay attention to! ”

Zhang Fei scratched his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Doesn't the lord often say, thirty-six plans, go to the position and plan! Why are we going to do it? ”

"Attention, go!"

Therefore, the next moment, when Han Jin was looking for someone to block the wine, he suddenly found that the two people who were following closely behind him had long disappeared.

Han Jin's wedding was not too extravagant, but even so, all relatives and friends in Luoyang sent congratulatory gifts. Emperor Ling even wrote an inscription himself, wishing Han Jin a happy wedding.

It's just a pity that as Han Jin's mentor, Cai Yi didn't come after all. It's not that he doesn't want to come, according to the messenger, Cai Yi is seriously ill and can't travel long distances.

In this regard, Han Jin can only regret it.

Of course, at this time, he was already drowsy, and there were still a lot of people lining up in front of him, waiting for him to come forward and toast a glass of groom wine.

Han Jin wailed in his heart, and suddenly stumbled under his feet and fell headlong.

Gan Ning, who was behind him, was quick to move, and with a copy of his hand, he had already stopped Han Jin by the waist.

When he looked over, Han Jin's eyes were slightly closed, and he muttered to himself, not a wine burp. But he was already drunk.

"Everyone, my lord, I am already drunk, I can't accompany you, if you can't have fun, then I will accompany you and have a good time!"

Among the guests, most of them were Han Jin's subordinates, so they naturally applauded in unison.

At this time, all the generals under Han Jin were drunk and dizzy.

Seeing that it was already dark, Guo Jia's eyes rolled. Greeted Zhang Fei, who was fighting with Dian Wei in the distance, "Yide, you said that the lord is sober up at this time?" ”

"Little white face, you want to fool Lao Zhang, hum, the lord pretends to be drunk, don't you think I don't know Lao Zhang!" Zhang Fei said, grabbing a wine jar with one hand and taking a big sip here.

"Lao Zhang and the lord don't know how many times they have fought wine, how can they not know the amount of wine the lord has. The so-called drunkenness is nothing more than deception, which is just a fool's old coarseness. Lao Zhang is not fooled! ”

When Zhang Fei said this, Guo Jia was surprised.

People say that Zhang Yide is rough and big, but now it seems that it is thick and fine, this person should not be underestimated.

"In that case, why don't you go to the listening room?"

Guo Jia's smile at a glance made Han Jin squirt blood later.

"Listen to the room...... This is not good! ”

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was already the custom of listening to the room.

"Don't you dare?"

Zhang Fei was the most excited, Guo Jia jumped lightly, and he jumped up.

"Let's go, what's not to dare!" Zhang Fei said, pulled Gan Ning and staggered to the backyard.

"Wait, I'll go too!"

Before Zhang Fei and the others could take a few steps, Han Shuo and Huang Xu ran over panting.

"You ...... Go too! ”

"It's so lively, you can't miss it. If you miss this village, you won't have the next store! Let's go, let's go, let's go! ”

After Han Shuo finished speaking, he took the lead and broke in. Behind Zhao Yun and Guan Hai saw it, they all followed with a roar.

…… In the cave room, in and out, there is a red sandalwood mahogany round table, covered with a big red cloth carpet, and the top is full of all kinds of wine and food, no chicken, duck and fish, most of them are vegetarian dishes. Ten dishes herald perfection. Two pairs of bamboo chopsticks, placed opposite each other, in pairs.

On one side, a screen embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water is horizontal in the middle, covering the bed behind it, and when you look at it from both sides, there is a dresser on the right, on which are placed several boxes, which look extremely delicate, presumably the hostess's jewelry.

This dresser was naturally designed by Han Jin for the bride's joy, but unfortunately, there is no glass in this era, so it can only be replaced by a copper mirror. The mirror is light and bright, faintly reflecting the beautiful scenery under the big red hijab on the bed.

Under the big red hijab, Huang Wudie sat quietly on the edge of the bed, listening to the sound of Han Jin's breathing on the bed, her heart was pounding, why didn't you come to remove the hijab?

Huang Wudie felt that she had waited for a long time, but she didn't see Han Jin lift the red hijab, she was a little anxious in her heart, groped Han Jin's body, and gently pulled Han Jin's clothes.

"Husband......

Still silent. Huang Wudie increased her strength a little and pushed Han Jin's body.

"Husband, husband, husband......"

Huang Wudie sighed in her heart, this dead man must have drunk too much.

Thinking of this, Huang Wudie pricked up her ears, listened carefully, felt that there was no one around, and suddenly lifted the red hijab on her head.

"Ah...... Stinky boy, you want to scare me to death!"

In front of him, Han Jin was staring at Huang Wudie with his hands on his cheeks, without blinking his eyes, as if there was a flower on Huang Wudie's face.

Huang Wudie was a little embarrassed by him, lowered her head, and said timidly: "Master...... Husband, I'm ...... I thought ......"

Before he finished speaking, Han Jin's body suddenly moved, as fast as lightning, and kissed Huang Wudie's face lightly.

At this time, Huang Wudie, dressed in a big red wedding robe, has a jade phoenix crown on her head, two bright moon bell pendants in her ears, and a pair of jasper bracelets on her wrists. Under the cover of red candles, it is really gorgeous.

"Senior sister, you are so beautiful!"

Huang Wudie's heart was overjoyed, and a trace of blush flashed on her face, like a ripe persimmon, extremely shy. After just glancing at Han Jin, he lowered his head again and asked in a low voice that only he could hear, "Really?" So who is more beautiful than me and Qing'er? ”

Forehead! When Han Jin heard this, he immediately leaned back and fell on the bed.

O woman! Can you please not be so retarded?
