In this era, there was no such thing as a wedding banquet.

Everyone comes to the wedding banquet to congratulate the newlyweds on their wedding and drink some wine, but it is basically very etiquette.

What kind of drinking, eating, feasting, and making trouble in a cave room, such an uneducated thing, is it what a nobleman should do?!

So, on the day of the wedding, there is wine to drink, but there is no banquet to eat, so you have to eat yourself before you participate.

When Zhang Xi heard it, there is still this good thing?!

After thinking about it, there are so many family backgrounds in the family, and Zhang Xi feels that his popularity in Liu Beijun is okay, so he is still worried about how many tables to set up for the banquet.

As soon as he heard that there was no need to set up a table, Zhang Xi was immediately happy.

But Xiao Qibao told Zhang Xi that there are many places where marriage costs money, and it is not just a matter of a few tables of banquets.

First of all, it is the cost of greeting the family, which is not a small number.

Although, because the two places are too far away, Sun Quan finally did not ask Zhang Xi to go to Chaisang to marry Sun Shangxiang in person, which also saved Zhang Xi a lot of expenses for going back and forth to Jiangxia to welcome his relatives.

But when he arrived at the ground in Jiangxia, in order to show the grandeur of Sun Quan's marriage, Zhang Xi needed to send a happy boat to greet him, and he had to open the way for the wedding boat in Jiangdong. Chen said that he had nothing to do with Zhang Xi, and a few happy ships were wrapped up in him, the commander of the Jiangxia Navy.

It is the decoration cost of this happy boat, as well as the happy money of the soldiers, which Zhang Xi has to pay for himself.

It's really not that he Chen doesn't pay attention to righteousness, but this is a happy event, Zhang Xi has to pay for the money, and he Chen pays the money, what's the matter, it's the rule.

When the wedding boat docked, Zhang Xi had to go to meet him, and the carriage and horse expenses on the way were not a small amount.

From the ferry to Zhang Xi's mansion, but there are more than ten miles of road, and there are at least dozens of people in the greeting team, walking such a long way, not to mention back and forth, and they have to blow and blow, and they must not give more money.

Again, after entering the city, it is inevitable that there will be people to congratulate you, and at this time, you can't drive people away, and you have to open the way with money.

Together, it's a matter of how many tables to eat.

Anyway, Little Qibao is worried.

The lord has only been out for five or six years, and he is either fighting outside or managing the place on weekdays, although there are also some rewards given by Liu Bei, but the family background is really not thick.

The little bit of family wealth in the family, the lord is married, and it is estimated that there is not much left.

And the dowry of the main mother, which is the main mother's, does not take it out for the sovereign to use, and the sovereign has no right to use this aspect is very clear.

But no matter what, Xiao Qibao still fulfilled the duty of a housekeeper, carefully allocated every use, tried to avoid waste, and at the same time, he had to make his lord's wedding beautiful.

Zhang Xi didn't care so much, these things were handed over to Xiao Qibao, and his main thing now was to go to Youjiangkou first and ask Liu Bei to go to Xiakou to officiate for marriage.

By the way, he personally sent invitations to a group of staff members in General Zuo's Mansion, including Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Yi Yuan, Liu Yan, Chen Zhen and others.

He quickly sent invitations to Kou Feng and Huang Zhong in Changsha, Zhao Yun in Guiyang, and Wei Yan in Lingling, inviting them to attend their weddings.

After doing this, Zhang Xi returned to Jiangxia, first visited Guan Yu in person, invited Guan Yu and his son to attend his wedding banquet, and then sent invitations to Chen Zhi, Wen Ping, Zhao Lei, Jian Yong and others.

Of course, these people will not come to Zhang Xi's wedding, and some of them are responsible for defending the land and governing it, that is, they are not courteous.

But if you don't invite, then you're rude.

Approaching Zhang Xi's wedding date, those who really came to Xiakou to attend the wedding were Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Kou Feng, Mi Zhu, and Sun Qian.

Xu Shu guarded the mouth of the Youjiang River, Pang Tong presided over the government affairs of the four counties of Jingnan, and Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong and others were responsible for the defense, and they couldn't leave.

On the Jiangxia side, Guan Yu's father and son came in person, Jian Yong came without much trouble, and Wen Ping sent Wen Dai to come. That's all there is to it.

Zhang Xi was able to entertain all of these people, not to mention Kou Feng's help.

Is Kou Feng Zhang Xi's brother, at this time, he is half of the master's family.

After arranging the guests from all walks of life, Zhang Xi waited anxiously, waiting for the day he got married.

The days passed day by day, and until three days before the wedding, the representative of the Yingchuan Zhang family also came.

The head of the family did not come, because the Yingchuan Zhang family is not having a good time now, and the head of the Zhang family, that is, Zhang Xi's uncle, did not come to congratulate him in person, and it was Zhang Xi's sixth uncle who brought people to attend the wedding.

Because of the long distance and the need to cross Cao Cao's border, the sixth uncle brought more than 40 people and led two carts of gifts to attend Zhang Xi's wedding.

That's another expense.

But when the family came, Zhang Xi naturally wanted to be warmly entertained, and after arranging the accommodation of so many people, he chatted with the sixth uncle and the two of them.

In fact, Zhang Xi is quite weak-hearted, and the ghost knows if this sixth uncle will see any flaws.

Before, Xu Shu didn't have much contact with Zhang Xi, so it was normal not to understand.

But the sixth uncle is a member of the family, if you see that something is wrong, you have to do it?!

But to Zhang Xi's expectations, the sixth uncle didn't talk too much about the family with Zhang Xi at all, mainly asking how Zhang Xi was developing in Jingzhou, whether he was reused under Liu Yuanjun, and whether he could let the family move some people to Jiangdong to develop by marrying the Sun family in Jiangdong this time. The people in the family always care about the development of the family, and Zhang Xi's personal affairs are not important at all.

After saying this, the sixth uncle said a few words of congratulations, and then went to rest satisfied.

Zhang Xibai was worried.

Thinking about it, after so many years, Xiao Qibao didn't have any doubts, how could the sixth uncle suspect that he had changed someone inside.

Zhang Xi, who finally let go of his heart, suddenly began to look forward to the day he got married.

Always marry a wife, and Sun Shangxiang is also an acquaintance, not a blind marriage and a dumb marriage, it is always difficult to keep a straight face.

After three days of waiting, it finally came to the wedding day.

On this day, Zhang Xi got up very early, and under the care of Xiaoba, he changed into his wedding clothes early.

Kou Feng also stood at the gate of Zhang Xi's house early, as a welcome, guiding the guests who came to participate in the wedding congratulations into Zhang's mansion and congratulating Zhang Xi.

The first people came were all people who were close to Zhang Xi, for example, Guan Ping came early to help, and greeted Kou Feng together, and Zhang Fei also came early, but this black guy mainly came to mix wine and drink, and he was afraid that the wine would be drunk later.

As for Liu Bei, he had to wait for Jiangdong's wedding boat to enter Xiakou before appearing, presiding over the wedding on the man's side, and then letting Zhang Xi set off to greet his relatives.

Zhang Xi waited until Liu Bei arrived, made a wedding speech for himself according to etiquette, and then ordered someone to bring Liu Bei's own mount and let Zhang Xi ride to greet him.

This is a kind of favor, and it belongs to the lord who values you so much that he will lend him his mount to you.

Moreover, Liu Bei's horse is black, not white, and there are no tear troughs under his eyes. This made Zhang Xi breathe a sigh of relief.

Riding on the horse given by the lord, with the greeting procession, in front of Kou Erha to open the road, in the middle is accompanied by the sixth uncle, Zhang Xi set off to pick up his bride.

All the way to the ferry, Zhang Xi finally saw the dowry boat in Jiangdong.

The boat is a good boat, and the decoration is also covered in red and colored, and it looks like it is here to get married.

But the people on the boat. Have you ever seen a girl who got married with a team of female guards, all wearing armor and holding sharp blades?!

Sun Shangxiang, Sun Shangxiang. Can't you get something fresh?!

In this meeting, Kou Feng frowned, the sixth uncle looked shocked, and Zhang Xi had a headache.

Come on, our future daughter-in-law is still angry, and now Zhang Xi finally understands, why when he left last time, Sun Shangxiang asked Xiao Deng Ai to talk, and he had to emphasize "next time".

Roll over, dismount, and get straight on board.

Kou Feng wanted to follow, but Zhang Xi stopped him.

Anyway, this girl is scary, it's hard to dare to really do it, this is the time to show your manhood.

Then Zhang Xi was held by two maids with a sword around his neck

"Uncle, I'm sorry. What the lord ordered, we are also helpless, please don't blame my uncle. One of the maids whispered to Zhang Xi, the expression on her face was quite exciting, she didn't dare to laugh if she wanted to.

Zhang Xi twitched the corners of his mouth and said to the maid, "Then did your young lady let you cut me down with a sword?!" ”

The maid was slightly stunned, and then saw Zhang Xi ignore the long sword around his neck and walk forward directly.

The maid suddenly panicked, and hurriedly retreated, for fear that Zhang Xi would wipe her neck herself.

The young lady explained that she wanted to do this, but everyone knew that she was scaring her uncle, and if something really happened, none of these maids could afford to take responsibility.

Zhang Xi walked all the way forward, and the maids retreated all the way until they reached the door of the cabin before they stood still.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xi said to Sun Shangxiang in the cabin in a small voice, "What about the previous incident, I am sorry for you, I can apologize, you want to relieve your anger, I can also understand. But today I am definitely going to marry you, you make me embarrassed, in fact, it is tantamount to disgrace your husband, and it is also embarrassing your person, why bother?! ”

“.”

After a moment of silence in the cabin, there was finally a little movement.

Sun Shangxiang came out in the end, wearing a wedding dress.

"Useless things, put away all the swords!" Sun Shangxiang first scolded his maid, then raised his head, looked at Zhang Xi with a cold face, and said, "Okay, you passed the level just now, but now hehe, betray me, right?!" If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, do you think I will marry you!! ”

But at this moment, Zhang Xi was obviously not thinking about the problem.

"Hmm" Zhang Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, you're so beautiful today."

"Huh?!"

Sun Shangxiang blushed.
