Chapter 81: The Whole Army (I)
On the eighth day of the eighth month of the fourth year of Zhongping, the entire Chengyang County was boiling, and the streets and alleys were all talking about Liu Yuanjun's marriage, and thousands of fathers and villagers who could not witness the grand wedding had lit incense and candles at home and prayed to the heavens for Liu Cun's blessing.
Liu Cunying's decision to marry Mihuan, the daughter of the Mi family, was made on the night of the birthday banquet of the old lady Taishi on the eighth day of May.
Before the birthday banquet, Liu Cun and his brother-in-law Tai Shici thanked the Mi family members who came to celebrate their birthdays, and saw Mi Huan hiding behind Mi Zhu's mother, the sixteen-year-old Mi Huan is indeed as folklore, gentle and charming, skin is better than snow, graceful temperament, beautiful as a fairy, that moment of hurried glance, it really shocked Liu Cun by Mi Huan's graceful beauty and dusty bearing, strangely, but did not let Liu Cun have any impulse to possess.
Prior to this, Liu Cun clearly knew the thoughts of the Mi family, and also knew the desire of his henchmen to marry the Mi family in Xuzhou.
Liu Cun understands in his heart, but he still has a little guilt, knowing that those who have become great things since ancient times will do whatever it takes, but when it comes to his turn, there are still great concerns and shadows, although he behaved very arrogantly and had nothing to ask for, but secretly he thought and thought, weighed it repeatedly, and finally made an important decision to marry the daughter of the Mi family with a clear conscience for the lofty ideals in his heart, but he never showed his thoughts.
Sun Wan, his beloved wife with a big belly, also persuaded him many times to marry the daughter of the Mi family, and quietly persuaded his stepmother, Mrs. Taishi, and all the henchmen around him, including Gongsun Pei, although they had their own goals, they did the same things as Liu Cun's family, and finally pushed this marriage step by step to the height of involving the future interests of the entire group.
The old lady's birthday banquet ended late at night, and most of the guests had left, Zheng Xuan, Bing Yuan, Gongsun Sheng, Zhao Rong, Huo Jian, Tian Mu, Han Yang and Mi Zhu, who came to congratulate the guests, did not leave, and they were still talking happily with the old lady in the middle hall.
Liu Cun is not a hypocritical person, but he is a person who values love and righteousness in his bones, so when the old lady was watching with a pair of expectant eyes, hoping that Liu Cun would consider everyone's wishes more, Liu Cun did not have any violent reaction, he just slowly knelt in front of his stepmother and kowtowed, and then looked straight at his wife Sun Wan behind his stepmother, and asked his wife's opinion very respectfully.
Everyone in the hall was stunned and inexplicable, only then did they know the important weight of Sun Wan in Liu Cun's mind.
Sun Wan was relieved and sad again, nodded frequently with tears, and said good things about Mihuan in her mouth.
Liu Cun, who looked serious, nodded slightly, sat down under his stepmother, and gently instructed his wife who was four months pregnant to pay attention to her body, and then turned to Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, and respectfully asked Mi Lao Woman what her opinion was? Is Miss Mihuan willing?
Mi Fang, who admired Liu Cun more and more, immediately opened her mouth, and even said yes, and broke the solemn atmosphere in a few voices, making everyone laugh.
Mi Zhu knew Liu Cun's character very well, turned around and entered the back room without saying a word, and quickly invited the old mother with a happy face and Mi Huan, who buried her head behind her mother's back, to come out, and solemnly agreed to this marriage in front of a full house of Confucians and celebrities.
Under Zheng Xuan's inquiry, Mi Huan nodded shyly, hurriedly looked up at Liu Cun, who admired in his heart, and hid behind his mother again.
Liu Cun did not hesitate any longer, nor did he twist it, and loudly expressed his willingness to marry Mi Huan, and implored Mrs. Mi to agree.
After getting the permission of Mrs. Mi in person, Liu Cun gave a deep salute, raised his head and solemnly announced to the elders and brothers who were cheering and laughing: "Liu Cun is fortunate to have Sun Wan and Mi Zhu two excellent women in this life, which is the greatest favor of God, Liu Cun swears: In this life, he will respect and love Sun Wan and Mi Huan, hand in hand with white heads, and implore all seniors, siblings, relatives and friends to be a witness, Liu Cun violates this oath, and is willing to be punished by God!" ”
Exclamations, praises, cheers and tears of joy suddenly rang out, but Liu Cun had already returned to his stepmother, Mrs. Taishi, and the old woman, kneeling down and kowtowing to show his intentions.
As a result, this marriage, which was destined to cause a sensation in the entire Yangcheng County and spread throughout the Han Dynasty, has since been confirmed, and Zheng Xuan, Bing Yuan, Gongsun Pei and others have praised it with admiration.
The Mi family smiled and smiled, Sun Wan cried with joy, her heart suddenly opened, the old lady Taishi was greatly relieved, hundreds of people were moved inexplicably, singing praises to virtue, and the spring hearts of women in the world were stirring and imagining.
