The morning light penetrated through the window and shone directly on Cai Yan's face as she stood by the window. Her originally fair face, under the reflection of the sun, looked a little bloodless, and even the water chestnut-shaped lips showed a faint layer of pink.

"Girl, please change your clothes!" was looking out the window at the backyard of the county government, and a maid's voice came from behind Cai Yan.

She turned and glanced at the maid who was speaking, and saw a maid with her hands folded in front of her, bowing slightly, waiting to change her clothes.

Behind the maid, two maids stood side by side with trays in their hands. In the tray held by the maid on the left, there is a set of flat and neat red palace clothes. In the tray held by the maid on the right, there are some jade belts, beads and other jewelry.

Further back, there was a young maid of relatively short stature, holding a wooden basin of clear water in her hand.

The three maids in front were all wearing silk skirts, and only the maid standing behind the most was wearing a linen robe.

Nodding to a few maids, Cai Yan slowly turned around and walked back to the bed.

The maid standing at the front turned around and glanced at the three maids behind her, and led the servants to Cai Yan's side.

The two maids holding the tray came to Cai Yan and stood sideways, while the young short maid behind the most Lu walked to the front with clear water.

"Girl, please be seated!" Everything was ready, and the leading maid whispered to Cai Yan: "The slave maid will dress up for the girl." ”

At the same time, in Liu Bian's room, several personal soldiers were helping Liu Bian put on his armor.

Putting on the golden armor, Liu Wei spread his arms out, and a personal soldier helped him wipe the dust on the armor with a moist cloth.

"Where's the Strategist?" Standing as straight as a stake, Liu Wei turned his head and asked the other soldiers standing on the side.

"Back to Your Highness!" A personal soldier clasped his hands into fists, bowed down and said to Liu Wei: "Early in the morning, many local scholars came to congratulate, and the military advisor should be receiving the scholars in the front hall at this moment. ”

"Your Highness!" As soon as the words of the pro-soldier fell, another pro-soldier ran in from outside the door, clenched his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said: "The Hedong Wei family sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, but the person who sent the congratulatory gift ......"

"What happened to the person giving the gift?" Hearing that the Hedong Wei family sent a congratulatory gift, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and asked the soldier: "Didn't you come here to make trouble?" ”

"Indeed, they are here to make trouble!" The pro-soldier who reported the news bowed down, lowered his head and peeked at Liu Wei with some apprehension, and said to him: "The people who give congratulatory gifts are all wearing Susu filial piety clothes......

"Wearing a vegetarian?" Hearing that the person who sent the congratulatory gift to the Hedong Wei family came wearing a vegetarian dress, Liu Wei asked the soldier, "Do you know who died?" ”

"It is rumored that it is Wei Ning, the second son of the Wei family!" Standing in front of Liu Wei, the soldier who reported the news said to him: "That Wei Ning vomited blood and died yesterday night, and the Wei family is organizing a funeral for him today......"

"How did the Wei family send congratulatory gifts, how did the military advisor receive them!" After the soldiers who wiped their armor finished their work, Liu Wei put down his arms raised to both sides and asked the soldiers again.

"The person who came has been detained by the military advisor for the crime of great disrespect......" Raising his eyes to look at Liu Wei, the soldier said in a low voice: "The military advisor is asking His Highness to make it clear how to deal with it." ”

The Wei family came to give congratulatory gifts, and Liu Wei already wanted to understand whether their gifts were fake, and it was true to win the sympathy of the entire Anyi people and scholars. As soon as he heard that Xu Shu had detained all the gift-givers, he groaned for a while and said to several of the soldiers in the house: "Let's go with this king to see the giver of the Wei family." ”

As he spoke, Liu Wei had already raised his feet and walked towards the door.

As soon as he came out of the backyard, Liu Wei saw that the outer courtyard was full of people, and dozens of people dressed in vegetarian clothes were surrounded by a group of soldiers with swords.

On the periphery of that group of soldiers, there were many warriors who had come to congratulate them.

Because they were in the county government, although the scholars were watching the Wei family who came to congratulate but were detained, no one dared to talk nonsense in the mansion, and the scene was quiet and almost depressing.

led a few soldiers out of the backyard, and the scholars who came to congratulate saw Liu Wei and bowed to him with their fists in greeting.

Liu Wei also held his fists and returned the salute to the scholars.

"What is this for?" After returning the salute to the scholars, Liu Wei looked at the dozens of Wei family members who were surrounded by soldiers and were all plain, pretending to be completely unaware, and asked Xu Shu loudly who was standing at the door of the main hall with a cold face.

"The Wei family dares to be speechless, His Royal Highness got married today, and they came wearing vegetarian clothes!" Clenched his fists and bowed to Liu Wei, Xu Shu raised his voice and said: "This is a great crime of disrespect, and his subordinates are about to take them all down, and ask for capital punishment!" ”

Xu Shu rarely shows such determination on weekdays, and from the fact that he deliberately raised his voice, Liu Wei could already see that he detained the Wei family, not really wanting to punish them, but hoping that Liu Wei could cooperate and turn this matter against the guest.

"Don't be busy!" Waving his hand at Xu Shu, Liu Wei raised his feet and walked up to the dozens of Wei family members, and asked them: "This king is getting married today, and you are waiting to come in Susu, aren't you cursing this king?" ”

The one who led this group of Wei family members to give gifts was the Wei family's son Wei Zhen, Liu Wei asked like this, the Wei family howled, bent his legs, and knelt down facing Liu Wei, and dozens of people who came to the county government with him also cried and knelt down.

"Your Royal Highness's wedding, you dare to mourn!" As soon as the Wei family cried, Xu Shu drew his long sword and shouted to the soldiers surrounding them: "Take down all these disrespectful villains and behead them in the city to show the majesty of Your Highness." ”

"Wait!" The soldiers were about to step forward to take down Wei Zhen and the others, Liu Wei raised his hand and shouted, blocking the movements of the soldiers, slowing down his tone and asking Wei Zhen, who was kneeling on the ground and had stopped howling in fright: "The Wei family has always been a Confucianism and Taoism heirloom, Confucianism is a rite of etiquette, this king's wedding, Mr. gifts, this king is grateful." It's just that what does it mean to cry here? ”

"Don't dare to deceive Your Highness...... a group of soldiers surrounded them, even though Wei Xiang came today, he wanted to make things bigger, but looking at the long sword with a cold light, he still felt a little lacking in confidence, stopped howling, knelt on the ground and trembled and said: "Because His Royal Highness wants to marry the second brother's bride, the second brother was angry for a while, vomited blood and died." I'll wait until then I'm dressed in a vegetarian to give a gift......"

"It's fake to give gifts, but it's real to demonstrate to this king, right?" Squinting at Wei Zhen and the others who were kneeling on the ground, Liu Wei pursed his lips and said to him: "This king didn't rob Wei Ning's wife, but this king and Zhao Ji are in love, how can you be willing to watch her marry someone else." No matter how angry ordinary people are, I'm afraid they won't vomit blood and die, your second brother vomited blood and died just for this matter, I'm afraid that his body is thin on weekdays, so if he really marries Zhao Ji, wouldn't it hurt her life? ”

As soon as Liu Wei said this, the scholars who originally had some sympathy for the Wei family nodded yes.

The scholars echoed Liu Bian's statement, many of them were afraid of Liu Bian's power in Hedong, and some of them deliberately wanted to curry favor with Liu Bian.

"That's it!" Looking down at the guard who was kneeling on the ground, Liu Wei raised his hand at him and said, "Remembering your newly lost brother, this king will no longer hold you accountable for your faults today." The king accepts the gift, please Mr. Wei stay here today, eat the wedding wine and leave! ”

Without waiting for Wei Wei and the dozens of Wei family members who came with him to stand up, Liu Wei waved his hand to the soldiers surrounding them, and waited until the soldiers dispersed before he said to Xu Shu: "This matter is over, please make a special trip to open a table for the Wei family, and allow the Wei family to wear vegetarian clothes to the banquet!" ”

As soon as Liu Wei said this, not only Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, but even the scholars who came to congratulate him were in an uproar.

An old scholar in his fifties separated everyone, clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said: "I have heard for a long time that His Royal Highness is generous, but I never thought that his stomach would be so magnanimous. Today is His Royal Highness's wedding, and the guests are dressed in vegetarian clothes to attend the banquet, which is not in line with the ceremony! I implore His Royal Highness to withdraw his order, and if the Wei family is willing to stay for the banquet, they will change their clothes. Otherwise, I won't agree! ”

"yes, yes!" The words of the old man of the Shi clan fell, and immediately many people echoed the voice, and then said: "If the Wei family refuses to change their mourning clothes, even if we wait for today, even if it is a bang, we will blast them out!" ”

Wearing a vegetarian to come to give gifts, the Wei family's plan was to embarrass Liu Wei. Unexpectedly, after the matter reached the worst trouble, it was not Liu Wei who was embarrassed, but Wei Zhen and others who came to give gifts.

"Father, this King Hongnong is amazing!" Looking around at the indignant scholars, Wei Qian secretly sighed in his heart: "I thought about finding a proper plan, but I didn't want to go to the county government, but I was beaten by him, and after retreating as advance, it actually made my Wei family completely lose face in Anyi from now on." ”

"What everyone said is that it's a kid who has no form!" After all, Wei Wei is different from Wei Zhongdao, he is quite a city, and he glanced at the scholars who were already biased towards Liu Bian, he clasped his fists with both hands, bowed deeply to Liu Bian, and said to Liu Bian: "I am waiting to come to congratulate you, and it is not appropriate to wear a plain dress." The kid changed his clothes and congratulated His Royal Highness on his great joy! ”

Wei Qian behaved like this, and Liu Wei couldn't help but look at him more.

The guard was still crying and wailing, looking immersed in grief. It's just that in the blink of an eye, he can be indifferent to the current crusade against the warriors.

This person is definitely a talent, but unfortunately Liu Wei knows it very well in his heart. This time, because of Cai Yan, he and the Hedong Wei family have become a fire and water, and the Wei family can't be killed, let alone used. Seeing that a talent appeared in front of him, but he couldn't be appointed, Liu Wei also felt a little sorry in his heart.

The sun climbed higher and higher, and more and more scholars came to congratulate them, and the streets outside the county gate were also crowded with civilians waiting to see the excitement.

On the opposite side of the street, in front of the silk and satin workshop that had been raided by Zhou Cang's people earlier, Deng Zhan, who was wearing a moon-white deep robe, held his hands in his arms, and his sharp gaze stabbed at the county government compound like a knife.

The Hedong Wei family came to make trouble by giving gifts, and Liu Wei not only did not detain all the Wei family, but calmly dealt with their trouble, all of which came into Deng Zhan's eyes.
