Chapter 227: Night Banquet
Chinese love face, since ancient times, like the warlord melee during the Republic of China, the princes of the Three Kingdoms period are also fighting for their own defeats and desires, but when the paper is framed, it is still necessary to set up a memorial arch. Therefore, although the princes are attacking each other, on the surface, they still have to show their respect for the Han land, the four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty is not something that anyone can overthrow with a word, even if the power of the princes is no longer a puppet emperor can control zhì, but everyone still respects the Han Emperor in their mouths, and the princes from all walks of life are also part of the Han Dynasty.
This is a major feature of the Three Kingdoms, and it is also for this reason that the princes of all walks of life can fight to the death on the one hand, but maintain a friendship on the other. That's right, it's friendship, the late Han Dynasty was still in charge, and all the princes from all walks of life, from the leader to the general and the strategist to the little minions, all have a constant connection. Not to mention anything else, the three herds of the royal family at the end of the Han Dynasty are typical royal forces, Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, Liu Yu, although Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zhan, but Liu Bei returned to capture Xuzhou, and the royal family regained three state pastors. And Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are good friends who grew up together, although they fought bloody, but the relationship is really not shallow. The same is true of everyone else.
Therefore, Lu Chen's wedding can attract princes from all walks of life.
The dinner party is a yak feast, the ancient Chinese nobles like to eat mutton and beef, not pork, because the pigs at that time have not been castrated, more fishy than cattle and sheep are difficult to eat, Lu Chen is delicious on the way to the north to escape Yanmen. There are two kinds of meat that the nobles like to eat the most, one is venison and the other is yak meat. People say, the beauty of flesh, the meat of yaks. A yak is a yak.
Speaking of yak meat. In fact, it was Grodin's offering. Yaks can usually only live on plateaus above two or three thousand meters above sea level, and although the northern grasslands are also considered plateaus, the altitude is still insufficient. After the yak is sent from Xiqiang to Yanmen, it usually does not live for long, and it does not die of heat, mainly because of drunken oxygen, which will lead to diarrhea and degradation of physiological functions, and eventually burp. Grodin didn't ride the yak that day for coquettishness, but he liked to eat yak meat, and he had to wait for the yak to have diarrhea for half a month. Slaughter again. He said the meat was more beautiful this way. Of course, in the end, he was sent to the coal mine by Lu Chen for labor reform, and he naturally didn't eat the yak meat that Lu Chen had half of his head killed. It has become the food in the mouths of Lu Chen's father and son, Chen Gong, Zhang Yang and others.
After eating yak meat once. Lu Bu liked it. said that he would let Lu Chen get some more, so that he could entertain celebrities from all walks of life during the wedding banquet. At that time, Budugen had already relented, and Grodin was escorted back to Mayi. So, the glorious task of preparing the yak was handed over to Grodin, and Grodin worked hard, and immediately wrote to his father Budugen and got a dozen yaks.
The atmosphere of the yak banquet is warm and peaceful, and with the unique high liquor of Yanmen, it is called a pleasant. The warriors fought each other for wine, but if they couldn't fight, they would end up with two moves, and the scribes were a little sassy, naturally they wanted to drag the text, and the poems and wine were not separated.
If it weren't for the unique family culture of the Three Kingdoms and some understanding, Lu Chen would never believe the scene in front of him, maybe the soldiers and horses of the two forces are fighting fiercely now, but here, they can talk very happily. This is mainly because the princes fight, mainly the war between the families, such as the Xun family to buy horses on both sides of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, even if either side fails, they will not lose. This is the strategy of the family, because of cultural barriers, no matter who takes the world, they must rely on the family to govern the world, so although they will do their best to assist their own lords, they will never be martyred for them after defeat.
Guo Jianeng talked and laughed with Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Yuan Shao, and Lu Suneng and Liu Qi had a good time. Of course, there are also some families with hatred, they will not get along well, but they will not mess around at the banquet, such as Gongsun Xu and Yuan Tan, such as Sun Quan and Liu Qi.
It can be said that in public, everyone carves each other regardless of enmity and hatred, and creates a harmonious atmosphere, which is the social interaction of the ancient Oriental aristocracy.
The banquet ended quickly, after all, tomorrow's wedding was the main course.
Late at night, Lu Chen suddenly came to the county guard's mansion, took Lu Bu off the Diao Chan bed, and discussed things. After all, the second day was Lu Chen's wedding, so although Lu Bu was prevented from creating a man, he didn't like it at all.
After coming to the backyard, Lu Bu patted his son's shoulder and found that his son had matured a lot over the past year, and his height was similar to his. The most important thing is that his son is about to get married, Lu Bu sighed with emotion: "Bo Chao, tomorrow is your big day, I am very happy for my father, but my Yanmen is now surrounded by strong enemies, so don't be careless!" Although these guys came to celebrate, no one knows if they are making trouble behind their backs, and at the same time, we must pay attention to our own people, don't be happy and sad. ”
Lu Chen said in his heart, it seems that his father was also bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and he was betrayed in Xiapi that day, so he didn't dare to trust others lightly. Although being suspicious is not a good habit, Lu Chen believes that there is no harm in being cautious.
"Father, don't worry, I've made arrangements." Lu Chen replied, "Long Xiang has already entered the city, and Zhang Gu's capital guards have also taken over the city defense of Mayi. ”
"Oh?" Lu Budao, "You don't believe in Wen Chou? He is Yuan Shao's old general, let him defend against Gao Gan, if he conspires with Gao Gan......"
"Nope! I believe in Wen Chou. It was precisely because I believed in him that I let him go to beware of the high cadres. If there is an abnormality in the senior cadres, Wen Chou will work harder than General Wen Yuan and others, because he is Yuan Shao's account and took refuge, so he will be very tough. ”
"Really?" Although Lu Bu didn't care about anything, he still knew about the transfer of troops, and at this time, he remembered another thing, "What about Zhao Yun?" Why did you transfer him to the Guardian Pavilion? Although I am not very satisfied with this little white face, after all, he is also your brother-in-law, and he does not attend your wedding......"
"I'm here to guard against Budugen." Lu Chen replied.
"Budugen's son is in our hands, he shouldn't dare to mess around, right?" Lu Bu said.
"Hey, hey! Father, it stands to reason that this is the case, but you also know that many people have come to Yanmen these days, and almost every force has sent people, and now is the most chaotic time. Lu Chen smiled strangely, "Moreover, we are busy preparing for the wedding and reception, which is when Yanmen's defense is the weakest." Do you think they'll be out of trouble? ”
"What do you mean? Who dares to mess around at my son's wedding? I tore him alive! Lu Bu was furious.
"Father, tomorrow's wedding, our main purpose is actually to show the strength of our Yanmen, especially the new weapons and artillery." Lu Chen said, "So, this wedding of mine, strictly speaking, is a military exercise. My father's bravery is the best in the world, and it is better to wear armor tomorrow, and I can't say it, but I can still show your majesty. ”
"You say there will be a war tomorrow? Who dares! Lu Bu's face turned into a wild lion. (To be continued......)
