On the third day after Liu Bei went home, Cheng Dazhi personally visited Liu Bei with some gifts, and after a conversation, Cheng Dazhi knelt in front of Liu Bei, willing to be driven by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei picked up Cheng Dazhi, praised him, and talked to him about some news about the contact between him and the Taiping Daoists in Jizhou.

Through Cheng Dazhi's description, Liu Bei learned that Zhang Jiao was really planning the next rebellion, and was ready to gather more Taiping Daoists to join him in the rebellion.

Cheng Dazhi traveled back and forth between Jizhou and Youzhou, doing some unsavory underground business, and had a lot of interpersonal relationships, and met Zhang Jiao through some channels, and had a good impression of him, so he tried to do something for him.

But Cheng Dazhi is still considering whether to join Taiping Road.

As a result, some of his subordinates were impressed by Zhang Jiao's ambition, and were impressed by Zhang Jiao's personal charm, so they decided to follow Zhang Jiao, bypassing him to give orders to his subordinate younger brothers, and making a big mistake, he was very angry, and he also felt the horror of Taiping Dao.

Liu Bei said that again, Cheng Dazhi was afraid of being implicated and persecuted by the Taiping Daoists, so he decided to support Liu Bei and seek refuge.

Liu Bei accepted Cheng Dazhi as his subordinate younger brother, and instructed him to take people and Ji Jian to join him one day, become Ji Jian's subordinate, and manage the Liu family's private army in the cottage together.

As for the local landlord families in Zhuo County who were originally related to Cheng Dazhi, Liu Bei visited them one by one, and exchanged the attitude of a smiling tiger for everyone's cooperative relationship.

Cheng Dazhi continued to be responsible for the things that originally belonged to Cheng Dazhi, but Cheng Dazhi was already Liu Bei's subordinate, so all the accounts had to be passed from Liu Bei's side, and there must be no mistakes.

If anyone breaks the rules, Zhuo County can't tolerate him.

Intimidated by Liu Bei's prestige and power in Zhuo County, these families did not dare to disobey Liu Bei's wishes.

Time passed little by little, when the light and the third year of spring and March, when the grass grew and the warbler flew, Liu Bei took the horses out to gallop and go out as soon as he was free, and he was very happy.

At the beginning of April, following the hope of Han Rong, who had just recovered from illness, Liu Bei was officially married to Han Ning, the daughter of Han Rong, who was twenty-eight years old, "on the order of his mother", and married her.

Since the wedding restructuring during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, even ordinary people's weddings have to be lively, let alone weddings held by official eunuchs.

On the day of the marriage, the entire county seat of Zhuoxian County was decorated with lights because of the marriage between the daughter of Taishou and the disciple of the Great Confucian, and celebrated all day, and even there was no curfew because of the excitement of the wedding that night.

The people of the county indulged to their heart's content, drinking from dusk until early in the morning, and then helped each other back to sleep, ending the night of partying.

Liu Bei, as the groom, is of course taken care of.

Gongsun Chan drank a lot of wine, and together with his good friends who came from his hometown to attend his wedding, he led a group of friends to pour Liu Bei into a crooked position, and he had a posture that would never let him have a good time, so he had to be poured down.

Gongsun Zhan blushed and took the lead in pouring wine, and he almost didn't mention the wine jar and poured it into Liu Bei's mouth, looking at the posture, there was even a posture of wanting to press Liu Bei's head into the wine jar.

The trick was more direct, and he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to press Liu Bei on the wine table, opened his mouth, and poured wine into Liu Bei's mouth bowl by bowl, which was called "massive", and he was not afraid of choking Liu Bei to death.

Liu Bei had a good amount of alcohol, but he couldn't stand such a fierce drinking action, he couldn't hold it, he pretended to vomit several times, and finally Jian Yong persuaded everyone to let Liu Bei go and let him enjoy the candle night in the cave room, and Liu Bei was finally let go.

Then in the midst of everyone's laughter, Liu Bei was almost carried into the cave room, and as soon as he landed, he was top-heavy, and he almost didn't fall, but he was still supported by Han Ning.

"Lang Jun drank too much."

A soft voice sounded in his ears, and Liu Bei raised his head and looked at his bride.

In these years, there is no red hijab, and the bride is a face with makeup, and she has not done much retouching.

So under the candlelight, a delicate little face with a little worry appeared in front of Liu Bei.

This is my wife...... It's so beautiful.

This was the only thought in Liu Bei's mind at that time.

Speaking of which, because of the inexplicable etiquette requirements, Liu Bei and Han Ning have been engaged to Han Ning for two years and have not seen her, and they didn't even know what her name was before the matchmaker came to ask for her name, and he knew everything about her very limitedly.

But he successively learned from Han Rong that his daughter likes to read poetry and books, is good at being a female celebrity, and has also learned things like good cooking, but these are all compliments used by people with status in this era to marry their daughters.

Liu Bei didn't take it seriously, anyway, he had already accepted this marriage, the most important thing was the political interests behind this marriage, and the rest was not too important.

This is probably what the ancients meant by the so-called "virtue" of marrying a wife and valuing virtue.

Just kidding, the daughter of the two thousand stone Taishou, will there be no "virtue"?

Full of okay.

As for the color......

Isn't the concubinage system a compensation system prepared for this purpose?

However, it was really interesting for people to get married in the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei still remembers that a few days after visiting Han Rong and getting Han Rong's wedding invitation that day, an elderly mother-in-law came to the Han family, and the mother-in-law brought a beautiful little girl, saying that this was one of Han Ning's personal maidservants and was here to serve Liu Bei.

The little girl didn't look very old, and when she saw Liu Bei with a baby face, she blushed when she saw it, and she didn't move when she stood still, and she was even a little nervous and even trembled slightly, which made Liu Bei think that she was famous and so people were afraid.

At first, Liu Bei didn't understand what this meant, but the housekeeper who was serving his mother next to his mother whispered to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei knew the meaning of the Han family with an embarrassed face.

This is also one of the important processes of marriage in the upper class of this era.

Because these days are not so open and well-informed, people are not clear about whether the man before marriage has enough male ability.

Political marriage is not just two people getting married and living a life, it is a requirement for the heir, it doesn't matter if the relationship is good or not, you have to give birth to the child.

Most of the predecessors have suffered losses in this regard, so they have accumulated experience through continuous trial and error, so this link was added before the wedding.

But all those who have a bit of status talk about marriage, they must pull out the close maid or other reliable people who are close to the girl around them to test the man's ability as a man, so as to make sure that the man can be humane and can give birth to an heir with the woman.

Punishment, really punishment, this little day is getting more and more sentenced.

Of course, there will also be a man at home who asks someone to examine her body to determine whether the woman is not the legendary stone girl, whether the menstrual period is normal, whether she can give birth normally, and so on.

However, these are all rules that are common between people with status, and they belong to the rules of the game between the upper class, and they have nothing to do with the majority of Li Shu.

In the Li Shu peasant family, the family is slightly better, and the woman got married at the age of twelve or thirteen.

If it is more impoverished, the woman will marry at the age of ten or eleven, and the family will be thrown off as if she had thrown off the burden, and then the fate depends on luck.

Liu Bei's previous identity did not touch the threshold of high society, and in a broad sense, he also belonged to the ranks of Li Shu, if he didn't have the determination and fierce will of a street fighter, he would have to get married at the age of twelve or thirteen, and he naturally didn't know anything about it.

It doesn't matter if you know it.

Someone sent it to the door to check his ability, if he had all kinds of scruples and couldn't show his male style, if people thought that they couldn't be humane and couldn't have children, then they would really die.

Fertility is an important part of a man's social strength, the more children he has, the more face he has in his circle of friends, and men who pretend to be innocent and ambiguous will be abandoned by the market.

Therefore, Liu Bei showed his heroism, and all eighteen kinds of martial arts went into battle, and he cleaned up the little maid sent by the Han family that night.

The next day, the little maid was picked up by the Han family's housekeeper, and the news that came later showed that the Han family was very satisfied with Liu Bei's ability.

A few days later, the mother-in-law sent by the mother to check the woman's body came with the news that the woman's physical examination was normal, the woman was a normal woman who could give birth, and would not let the Liu family have no heirs, although the Liu family was relieved.

And so the wedding process officially began.

It's that fast.
