In May of the second year of Jian'an (197), in the Sun family's mansion in Wu County, Jiangdong, Sun Shangxiang Annex

'Smack! The sound of a horsewhip dropping

"Big brother really took the holy decree?!" A young woman asked the maid beside her with a cold face;

This woman is Sun Shangxiang, if Liu Xiu sees it, I am afraid that he will also praise it: the powder face contains Chunwei and does not show it, and the red lips smell it before laughing!

is a tiger girl, but she is more heroic than Yang Bamei, who is only in her early tens

"Yes, Miss!" A sword-wielding maid beside Sun Shangxiang responded simply;

"Damn!" Sun Xiaomei gritted her teeth and said viciously: "How can my eldest brother promise my marriage so easily!" ”

"This girl hasn't seen that Liu Xiu yet!"

"If that Liu Xiu is ugly, or just a waste who relies on his subordinates, then this girl will not agree!"

The more Sun Xiaomei talked, the more angry she became, as a general's daughter, it was natural to worship heroes and heroes

When the other servant girl standing beside her heard this, she covered her mouth and smiled: "Miss, the slave maid heard that the Marquis of Chu has obtained most of the states and counties in the south in just one year, and in recent days, it is said that he has obtained the land of Jiaozhou, how can such a young hero and martial arts be as unbearable as Miss said?!" ”

Another maid smiled and said, "Even the eldest prince and Zhou Gongzi last year did not gain benefits in Liu Xiu's hands!" How can it be like what Miss said?! Miss said that she must have taken a fancy to that Chu Hou! ”

"Little girl, dare to say that about your young lady and me, look at how this girl cleans you up!" Sun Xiaomei's face was flushed by what the maid beside her said, so she endured her shyness, raised her fist and said, "So what? Maybe it's just that he's lucky, and his subordinates are thankful! ”

"How could the eldest brother lose to him!"

"Hee-hee" Sun Xiaomei's weak argument provoked the laughter of many maids in the house;

"Anyway, it's not that simple to marry Miss Ben!" Sun Xiaomei said, summoned all the maids and maids, and whispered in a low voice

"Miss, isn't this okay?!"

"Yes, miss, that's the Marquis of Chu, there are countless generals and hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, if you get angry and cause a war between the two families of Sun and Liu, I'm afraid it will ruin the eldest prince's plan?!"

"What are you afraid of! This girl is not easy to mess with! Sun Xiaomei glared at a few maids, clenched her pink fists and said fiercely: "If he doesn't even have this bit of guts, how can he be qualified to marry this girl!" Just do what I say."

"Yes! Be! Miss! Hee-hee-hee"

"Still laughing! Begging! ”

Liu Xiufuzhong, Guiyang County, Jingnan

At this time, Liu Xiu was rarely idle, drinking wine in the backyard and basking in the sun

however

"Brother Ji Wei!"

With a long exhalation, three beautiful, heroic, and delicate figures entered Liu Xiu's line of sight

But it was the three daughters of Yang Bamei, Yang Jiumei, and Xie Daoyun, who had not been seen for a long time, and in a blink of an eye, the three daughters arrived in front of them

"Eighth sister!" Liu Xiu saw the heroic little girl in white armor at the beginning, and also called out

"Brother Ji Wei (Childe)!" Yang Jiumei and Xie Daoyun, who are soft on the outside and strong on the inside, also called softly;

"Ninth sister, Ling Jiang! You're here too! Liu Xiu looked at the two girls and said with a smile;

"Brother Ji Wei! How can you take us back to our father for the New Year, and then go to war without us! "Yang Bamei said angrily;

When Liu Xiu heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "You can't let Brother Ji Wei wait for you to come back before going on the expedition, right?!" Next time, if there is any war, I will bring you with me! Luckily?! ”

"Yes! Brother Ji Wei is right! Yang Bamei groaned: "Then you must bring us next time!" Don't lie to us! ”

"Good! Good! Liu Xiu comforted;

"But Brother Ji Wei, why did I hear that you are about to get married?!" Yang Bamei asked again: "If Brother Ji Wei gets married, what should Sister Jiang do?" ”

As soon as Yang Bamei asked, Xie Daoyun on the side instantly turned white

"It's really going to marry the Jiangdong Sun family! This is the holy decree that Xu Du has sent down, and it is also what I need for my next plan! Liu Xiu didn't hide it, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Jiang's matter, after a while, find an opportunity, I will propose to Master Xie!" ”

Xie Daoyun heard what Liu Xiu said, and his pretty face, which was a little pale, turned red in an instant

"Okay, what Brother Ji Wei said is reasonable!" Yang Bamei nodded quite reasonably, looking like a little adult, and continued to ask: "Then Brother Ji Wei wants to go to Jiangdong to greet his relatives in person?" When are you going to go?! ”

"It's not that early!" Liu Xiu looked at Yang Bamei's curious appearance and said with a smile: "Those red tapes haven't been done yet, and when these are done, it is estimated that it will take two months!" ”

"So long?!"

"This is also a political marriage, and it is a marriage given by divine decree, so etiquette must still be done! Otherwise, it will not be criticized! Liu Xiu explained: "As for whether to go in person, this matter still needs to be discussed!" ”

"However, let's not talk about whether I will be calculated if I go to Wu County in person!" Liu Xiu continued to explain: "Just the identity of my General Annan, the Marquis of Chu, and the Temperance Jingnan, I don't need to go there in person! ”

"That's right! That Sun Ce is just a Marquis of Wu now! Brother Ji Wei doesn't need to go in person, it's too dangerous! Yang Bamei said approvingly

"Well, don't talk about that, you just came back?!" Liu Xiu changed the topic and asked;

"Yes! I came to Guiyang with my ninth sister and a few sisters-in-law! Yang Bamei immediately replied: "Sister Ling Jiang also just came back from Changsha Boss Xie!" ”

"Tired of the long journey, aren't you?! Bask in the sun with my brother and rest and rest! Let the kitchen cook for you tonight."

"Thank you, Brother Ji Wei"

Two months have passed in a blink of an eye

After a lot of red tape, Liu Xiufang began to prepare for the team to go to Wu County, Jiangdong to welcome his relatives

But it was not Liu Xiu who went in person, but sent General Xue Rengui from Anhui County and Zhao Zeping, who was in charge of the diplomacy of the Ministry of Rites, to Jiangdong to greet Liu Xiu on his behalf!

ps: I don't know if this is the case when I got married at the end of the Han Dynasty, or I have to go there myself, but for the sake of the plot, don't worry too much about the etiquette of greeting relatives!
