The fierce dark war that lasted for nearly a year was temporarily ended under Li Yu's violent methods, and he also temporarily ranked first in the "Three Kingdoms Butcher Knife Rankings". The political pattern in the late Eastern Han Dynasty began to change, from the confrontation between the bureaucratic class and the lower class to the confrontation between the scholars represented by the wealthy scholars and the poor scholars, and the real person who caused this change was Li Yu!

killed one of the three dukes on the spot, Sikong Zhao Wen, ignoring the dignity of the emperor, disrespecting his words, and bullying the emperor on a series of charges and being beaten on Li Yu's head, the emperor's henchmen seized this opportunity to constantly put pressure on Cao Cao; Because of this matter, Cao Cao and Li Yu totaled for a long time, and finally decided to temporarily hide Li Yu for a period of time, that is, to temporarily remove him from his official position and let him stay at home, and during this period of time, Li Yu's marathon love affair finally blossomed; The love between him and Cao Fang can finally turn from dark to bright; Although others know that Cao Fang is Li Yu's wife, they have not officially married, and their reputation for the woman is not good after all, which is also where Li Yu has always felt sorry for Cao Fang;

The marriage system of the Han Dynasty adopted the wedding procedures that had been prescribed since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, namely: Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, inviting dates, and welcoming in person. Because the wedding requires six procedures, referred to as "six ceremonies".

The ancients said: "Six etiquette preparation, it is called employment, and six etiquette is not prepared, it is called running." That is, if the wedding is completed, it is a legal marriage and is protected by law, and if the wedding is not completed, it is illegal cohabitation and is not protected by law. In other words, Li Yu and Cao Fang lived together illegally before!

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Cao family was the founder of the Han Dynasty, after Cao Shen, there would be no need for such a cumbersome wedding procedure. You must know that this is an extraordinary period, and ordinary people only need to set a marriage, marry, and worship a few steps of etiquette; In addition to the six rites, all must live geese, because since the Zhou Dynasty, in the marriage according to the six rites, in addition to the levy ceremony, the rest of the five rites need the man's envoy to carry the goose as a gift to the woman's family. Because geese are migratory birds, they migrate north and south with climate change and have a fixed mate, one dies, and the other no longer chooses a mate. The ancients believed that the wild goose from the south to the north was in line with yin and yang, the spouse was fixed and in accordance with the righteous ceremony, and the marriage was in line with the wild goose, which symbolized the yin and yang harmony of a pair of men and women, and also symbolized the loyalty and single-mindedness of marriage. It is also known as the Laying Goose Ceremony.

The first is Nacai, Nacai, that is, the man's family invites a matchmaker to the woman's house to propose marriage. If the female family agrees to the marriage, the male family formally proposes to the female family, and the formal proposal must be based on the words of the goose as a courtesy, and the stalks will go at dusk on an auspicious day, so that people can accept the meaning of their choice.

Of course, Li Yu's status in the Cao family is quite different, although the two families are relatives, Li Yu is still a descendant of the Han general Li Guang, but the family is indeed defeated; In order to show respect, Li Yu and his mother Cao personally came to the door to propose marriage, and this live goose was prepared for him by Cao Cao; I'm ashamed to say that Li Yu knows a fart! Although he was also married, he was in the cave room with that Zhang Ning, and the two of them entered directly!

All right! In fact, these etiquettes are all going through the motions, after all, Cao Cao's identity is different now, and Li Yu also intends to compensate Cao Fang and hold a beautiful wedding for her; Because Cao Fang was originally forced by Cao Cao to Li Yu, let's just say so, that is to say, the marriage of the two people is infinitely close to free love, and there is no one, but this lottery must have a matchmaker, no way! Call your friends!

Even Cheng Yu, who guarded the overall situation in Taishan County, moved back, this old man is old enough, has great qualifications, and has a good reputation, and the relationship is naturally the best choice; As for the marriage book, it was written by Li Yu and Xun Wenruo, and he still knows how many catties he has; A text made Li Yu dizzy when he heard it, but when he saw Cao Song and Old Lady Cao shaking their heads and stroking their beards, they didn't dare to make a sound, just be satisfied!

As for how the Cao family prepared the marriage letter, Li Yu was even more lazy to take care of it, anyway, this matter has been fully arranged by the two old people on both sides, Cao Song and Cao, who have been closely related since childhood, can be busy at this time, which is a hundred times more energetic; Finally, Na Cai, Ming Ming, and Najib passed the three levels, and then, or two days later, Na Zheng, which was even more tiring.

Fortunately, the two families have no foundation, and this gift has long been discussed, and the levy is levied according to the six rites. Na Zheng is also known as Na Yuan, that is, the next hire. Xuanxuan, sheep, geese, sake, liquor, japonica rice, millet rice, pu, reed, curly cypress, Jiahe, longevity, five-color silk and so on.

Soon, the recruitment, the name of the request, the najib, the recruitment, and the invitation date were all completed, and the wedding arrived at the sequence of "personal welcome", which is also part of the entire six ceremonies.

Greeting relatives is relatively simple, the only trouble is that Li Yu doesn't like to ride a horse, and he can't ride a horse, so he can only go up bravely, after a whole set of combination punches, Li Yu swears that if he is getting married in his life, he will enter the palace!

In short, this matter is a foregone conclusion, and the two sides are tying the knot

Li Yupeng has a lot of parties, so he has received a lot of gifts; First of all, the most inexplicable gift, Jizhou Yuan Shao presented a pair of jade, five boxes of gold beads, ten pieces of silk, and 100,000 stone polished rice. All right! Boss Cao's eyes were blue at that time, this Nima is digging into my corner! Xiahoudun, who was afraid that Cao Cao would misunderstand, hurriedly explained to Li Yu that this old man was not easy because he rode back on a horse in the starry night, his legs were worn out, and his walking posture was deformed; After this explanation, Cao Cao was happy, so it was, the gaze that looked at Li Yu was a moody guy who became more and more pleasing the more he looked at it!

The most stingy gift was the gift brought back by the Mao Jiutuo people who were far away in Hongnong, a bag of seeds, the seeds of a kind of melon and fruit from the Western Regions, although it was a little cold, the emphasis was extraordinary; The most meaningful gift is a blessing from Li Yu's primary school students Cao Pi and Xiao Pxue, which is very interesting; The bloodiest gift was that Xu Chu and Dian Wei, the two barbarians, actually ran to a place a hundred miles away from Xuchang City, swept several mountains, and hunted two tigers and bears and other prey; The most touching gift is the "Wanmin Knot" woven by Qingzhou Yellow Turban for Li Yu, which is made of a kind of wear-resistant artemisia grass, and each person weaves one to form a huge ornament, which makes people feel emotional; No matter who sent his blessings, no matter what way Li Yu didn't care, he knew that although these people were not low in status now, they were all bitter like him, and there was really not much room or spare money to give gifts, even if there were, Li Yu was against that

Li Yu is a person who is afraid of trouble, and he is not a person who loves to be lively, so he dispersed in the middle of the night and dismissed everyone, including Cao Cao

The drunken Cao Cao staggered with the support of the guards, walked towards his own house opposite the door, thought about it and decided not to go home, perhaps stimulated by Li Yucheng's happiness, Boss Cao was excited! He decided to have some fun!

"There are prostitutes in the capital. Woman? Cao Cao, who was half-drunk and half-awake, asked with the smile that a drunkard should have; Didn't you say that there are no Fengyue places in Xuchang? A nephew beside Cao Cao replied, this kid's name is Cao Rui Biaozi Anmin, and he is Cao Cao's distant cousin, because Cao Cao has made a fortune, many people from the Cao clan have also come to take refuge, Cao Anmin is one of them, he was arranged to Cao Cao's side as a guard;" That's right, too! Hehe! Any idea why I'm doing this? Cao Cao smiled unscrupulously; Cao Anmin shook his head: "Uncle's move must have a deep meaning, that's what we can guess!" ”

"! What a fart! Actually, I can't have fun, I don't want others to have fun! Disgusting to death! Hahaha! After the identity changed, of course Cao Cao could no longer go to such a Fengyue place, out of the jealousy of men, Cao Cao issued such a decree;" It's a pity! Can't have fun! After saying that, Cao Cao sighed in disbelief, turned around, and wanted to go home;" That uncle! I saw a woman today! That's a beauty! It's beautiful! As soon as I asked, what happened to you! That person is Zhang Ji's concubine, Zhang Xiu's uncle! Cao Anmin smiled evilly; Zhang Ji? Isn't he dead? Zhang Xiu? There he is? ”

"Yes! Didn't you say that Mr. Wilder was married, and he was summoned? Zhang Xiu is drunk and still resting in the post house at this time! ”

I don't know if it's providence, Cao Cao met Zou like this, Zou is indeed very beautiful, no powder, charming eyes with spring, plus the unique atmosphere of mature women and young women, so that Cao Cao was immediately fascinated by his wife; As a veteran of Fengyue, Cao Cao is not the kind of character who roars urgently, but politely expresses his apologies for disturbing late at night, and expresses that he is very interested in Zou's good piano; After marrying Cai Yan, this guy has a strong growth in music and rhythm, Zou was also a dusty woman back then, and she was also a romantic figure, plus Cao Cao's identity is extraordinary, okay! These two people are affectionate and concubines, and they got together in a few moments

In the early morning, Zhang Xiu got the news, and his face turned blue at that time, he respected Zhang Jiru's biological father, and naturally respected Zou's mother, although Zou was one or two years older than him; No matter how he thought about it, Zhang Xiu felt that Cao Cao took advantage of his drunkenness to coerce the Zou family, but this was Xuchang City, and Cao Cao was not easy to kill, so he went to find Jia Xu
