Recently, everyone in Xu Du knows that the happy day of Sikong Yan's eldest son Cao Zixuan is approaching.

At the end of the Han Dynasty and the subsequent dynasties, they were all in accordance with the traditional six rites in the marriage process, such as Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, inviting dates, and greeting in person.

However, due to the cumbersome process of the Six Rites, most of the common people will not stick to the Six Rites, and it is more practical to handle marriages, and the ceremony of a son marrying a daughter-in-law is very grand for a high-ranking minister like Cao Cao.

What is Nacai? As the name suggests, according to today's interpretation, it is a marriage proposal, generally speaking, it is a man who proposes to a woman, but the premise of all this must be agreed by the parents of both parties before marriage, if the parents do not agree, there will often be anecdotes similar to Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru elopement, but if you talk about it in detail, Zhuo Wenjun is certainly a good talk when selling wine, but in the eyes of the Zhuo family, it is a scandal......

Zhuge Xin's parents died early, Zhuge Xuan, as his uncle, is naturally no different from his father, Cao Ang and Zhuge Xin's marriage, not only a simple friendship between the two families, but also the beginning of Cao Cao's cooperation with the Jingzhou scholars in the future, even if Zhuge Xuan himself does not agree, the Jingzhou scholars will force Zhuge Xuan to agree.

As for asking for names, it is to enjoy the eight characters for the two newcomers, and the divination sorcerer must be very famous, and after receiving the money from Sikong Mansion, he naturally has to work hard, and he has to calculate the cause of good fortune no matter what, so asking for a name is just a formality.

In addition, the purpose of the gift of asking for a name is to prevent marriage with the same surname, just because the same surname is not allowed to marry, which is particularly important in the Qin and Han dynasties, especially in the early Han Dynasty, because many families have changed their surnames for various reasons, so they must be confirmed in advance.

And Naji's Nazheng is actually the same process, Najib is to tell the other party about the divination, and Najib is engaged as the name suggests, and the man's family needs to give the woman a dowry, which is an extremely important step. According to different social status, the dowry is also different, like Cao Sikong's authoritative identity, the specifications of this dowry are naturally indispensable, at this point, Sikong Mansion attaches great importance to the dowry.

On the one hand, the dowry is the embodiment of the man's family's financial resources, so as to win face and respect for the man's family, on the other hand, it also means that the man's respect for the woman, the hardships of the woman's family to raise their daughters are rewarded and compensated, and the woman's family will only feel their dignity after accepting the rich dowry. As for whether the woman will return the dowry to the man, it depends on the meaning of the woman's family.

Therefore, it is this kind of symbolic rain custom, gradually formed the wind of employment, Zhuge Xuan these days for the niece's marriage to take care of everything, for him and the Zhuge family, the niece's marriage is not just a marriage, but also related to the future and fate of the Tao family, through this marriage, completely tied the Zhuge family and the Cao family on a warship.

Zhuge Xuan naturally hoped to promote this marriage, so he worked tirelessly, and sent a letter to Jingzhou ten months ago, inviting the scholars to come and watch the ceremony.

"The captain is here, I have missed the distance, please atone for my sins."

Feng Yu Building, the most luxurious restaurant in Xudu, Zhuge Xuan was dressed in brocade clothes, smiling, and saluted Yang Biao who came.

Yang Biao barely squeezed out a smile and replied: "Lord Zhuge is going to marry his niece, how can I not come for such a festive event." After some politeness, Zhuge Xuan invited Yang Biao to sit downstairs.

Who doesn't know today, Cao Sikong, who has always strictly forbidden extravagance, changed his style of the past, and chartered Fengyulou for three days and three nights to receive guests from all walks of life, of course, there are also good people secretly speculating: "Who doesn't know that this Fengyulou is the property of Cao Hong, the brother of the Sikong clan, what money can be spent?" ”

Guo Jia was honored to volunteer to be the master of ceremonies, but because of his previous strange illness was cured by Cao Ang in a way that bordered on barbaric abuse, in Cao Ang's words, "In the future, Mr. Fengxiao will no longer have to smoke Wushisan, such poisons to relieve the pain of the body." ”

Treat Cao Ang, Guo Jia is naturally grateful, Cao Ang and his friendly attitude from such a poor family, Guo Jia naturally knows it, since he has been trusted by Sikong father and son, Guo Jia naturally wants to do his best, treat me with sincerity, I repay it with my heart, how can I just talk?

Guo Jia stood by the staircase, smiling, facing the approaching guests, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. Guo Jia couldn't help frowning, stood up and was about to go out to ask, but saw Xiahou Ba's panicked face and hurriedly ran over.

"Mr. Guo Jia." Xiahou Ba walked towards Guo Jia and hurriedly shouted.

Guo Jia couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw Xiahou Ba's state, and then asked in a deep voice: "Zhongquan, why are you so alarmed?" ”

"The Jiangdong mission was outside, and the Jingzhou mission met, and the two sides clashed because of a quarrel. The two sides fought outside. ”

"Ahh Guo Jia exhaled.

The grievances between the Jiangdong Sun family and Jingzhou Liu Biao have a long history and are well known to the world.

I think that at the beginning, the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian and Sun Wentai died at the hands of Liu Biao's general, Huang Zu, and Sun Jian's death almost caused the Sun family's foundation to be lost.

Fortunately, the little overlord Sun Ce rose in the six counties of Jiangdong and did not let the Sun family's foundation disappear.

After Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong, he had already clashed with Jingzhou several times, but because Jiangdong was undecided, Sun Ce did not launch a general attack on Jingzhou for a long time. Therefore, as the existence of a feud, as long as the two sides meet, it is full of gunpowder, as a prince of one party, which one is the idle person?

Back then, Liu Jingsheng entered Jingzhou with a horse and took the nine counties of Jingxiang into his pocket. How big is Sun Ce's threat, how can Liu Biao not know?

Guo Jia's face sank, and he muttered, "How can you forget the enmity between these two families? How good is that? "Cao Ang's wedding is coming. The two families came to make a conflict at this time, it is really ......

"Get out there and stop it." Guo Jia said that, and took Xiahouba out.

Out of the building, I saw Zhuge Xuan standing there helplessly, if he stepped forward to block it, he was afraid of hurting himself, if he didn't step forward to stop it, wouldn't it be a wedding that would be interfered with?

Then. The two teams have gathered together to fight hotly.

On one side are the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou Mission, and on the other side are the men and horses under the banner of Jiangdong.

In front of the two armies, they were ready to fight. Several people are fighting in one place, and it is difficult to solve the problem. The soldiers and horses on both sides were waving their flags and shouting for their own side, shouting fiercely and murderously.

Cao Chun arrived, frowned, and looked at the two pairs of centaurs who were fighting.

"This is Xu Du, at the feet of the Son of Heaven. How can we let our guests be slack? If anyone wants to oppose the guest for Zhu? Cao Chun said and got on the horse. Just the crotch of the mount neighed,

Then they rushed to the front of the two armies.

The Jingzhou Mission Department sent a general, dismounted from his horse, shot in his hand, and fought two generals in Jiangdong alone. And those two generals, one of whom Cao Chun recognized, was Chen Wu, who was accompanied by Tai Shici and Sun Ce at the foot of the Shenting Ridge during the war. The person who joined forces with Chen Wu to resist the Jingzhou general, who was about seven feet tall, made a big knife.

The man who fought the second general of Jiangdong was eight feet tall, had a resolute appearance, and was armed with a spear. Kill bravely. Dressed in bright black armor, a big gun is fierce and abnormal.

Cao Chun couldn't help frowning, and rushed towards the three-person battle group. "As a guest, you are the main guest, at the foot of Xu Du, my nephew is fighting on the day of great joy, how can it be a guest? Don't stop with me yet! As he spoke, the man had already arrived. Swinging the big gun in his hand, he smashed it at the three of them.

Cao Chun joined the battle group, and between the three of them, a shot was fired. The Jingzhou military general couldn't help but shout: "Okay! The iron spear in his hand reversed, as if pushing a boat down the river, and was slashing at Cao Chun's spear head.

The loud sound of "bell" came, and the war horse under the crotch of the Jingzhou military general couldn't help but let out a long neigh, and retreated again and again.

And Chen Wu and his companions took advantage of the situation to rush forward, but they saw Cao Chun suddenly change hands, and the golden spear in his hand was like fighting in all directions, blocking his waist and sweeping.

"I said it, stop it, didn't you hear it?" Chen Wu and the others were taken aback, raised their weapons and knocked on them, and they heard two bells, and the guns and knives and spears clashed, making a loud noise.

Chen Wu and the others not only had numb arms, but they almost couldn't hold their weapons, so they hurriedly turned their horses and jumped out of the circle.

Cao Chun took a deep breath, these three people's martial arts are not weak, if it weren't for the blessing of the three treasures of stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes, he really couldn't help these three people. Because of this, as soon as Cao Chun fought each other, he understood that in addition to Chen Wu who was not his opponent, the other two martial arts were between him and himself.

"Uncle?" Cao Chun turned around, only to see Cao Ang, who was dressed in wide sleeves, appear in front of him, "What's wrong?" ”

Cao Chun said helplessly: "Maybe I was busy and fainted, and I forgot everything about Jingzhou and Jiangdong."

At this time, Chen Wu and another Jiangdong military general marched out of the Jiangdong mission surrounded by a young man.

The young man came to Cao Ang, turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand: "Fuchun Sun Quan, on the order of my brother, I have come to congratulate Zhonglang on the wedding of the general." ”

Cao Ang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this person's words.

This is Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou?

Unexpectedly, Sun Bofu actually sent Sun Quan over this time, which was indeed a bit unexpected by Cao Ang.

Sun Quan's age is slightly younger than Cao Ang, but who would have thought that no one would see that Sun Zhongmou at this moment would become the hero of Jiangdong in the future and create a three-legged monarch of Eastern Wu.

I have to say that Sun Quan, who looks white and clean, is a proper rich boy, where is he as blue-eyed as later generations described?

Come to think of it, how could Jiangdong Xiaobawang have a purple-haired and blue-eyed brother?

Cao Ang stepped forward and said, "It turned out to be the second son's face, it's really disrespectful." As he spoke, Cao Ang's gaze fell on the two behind Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was thoughtful, and he immediately understood what Cao Ang meant. hurriedly said: "This is Chen Wu and Chen Zilie, who is the favorite general of my brother's side." ”

Chen Wu didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "A certain Chen Wu has seen Cao Gongzi."

Cao Ang returned the salute and said, "The general is polite, the general is here, and it is shining." Then Cao Ang looked at another military general beside Sun Quan and asked, "Who is this general?"

The man's tiger body was shocked, and he hugged his fists and said: "Cai Zhou Youping from a certain family, I have seen Zhonglang General."

"It turned out to be General Zhou Tai, and he was polite."

Zhou Tai was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "How does the son know about me?"
