As soon as the two talked, they talked for an evening.

It took one night to finally finalize the various etiquettes of the proposal.

At this point, Sun Siwen finally went to sleep with peace of mind.

Today is a rest, he can sleep for three days and relax.

Lu Yuan is full of energy, and his martial arts realm is more advanced, even if he doesn't sleep for three or five days in a row, he won't be the slightest tired.

My friend is about to get married, and as Sun Siwen's only friend, he naturally has to be busy with Zhang Luo.

So when he saw that the sky was bright, he found his own soldiers, took out silver taels, and told them to go to various shops in the city to buy all kinds of goods, and prepare to use them for their relatives.

Later, he asked the master of ceremonies to ask him what to do at the wedding and what etiquette to observe.

I heard that the prefect is going to marry his daughter, the groom is still the Sima in the house, and the matchmaker is the commander.

immediately enthusiastically introduced Lu Yuan to various precautions for the wedding.

However, the wedding of the ancients was really troublesome, and they paid attention to three books and six ceremonies. Three books, letters of appointment, letters of ceremony, letters of welcome. The six salutes, Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, Naji, inviting the period, and welcoming in person.

Each of these etiquette processes is extremely important and cannot be neglected.

Lu Yuan listened to it for a while, and felt that he really couldn't cope with it, so he simply handed over the matter to the master of ceremonies to prepare, he was only responsible for being a tool man, and when the time came, he just went according to the process.

After studying urgently for a few days, Lu Yuan took the letter of appointment and went to the prefect's yamen to propose marriage to Governor Cui.

Because the two families discussed it, Governor Cui didn't have anything to make it difficult, and he happily agreed.

In the next few days, according to etiquette, Lu Yuan walked through the three books and six rituals.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of welcome.

This day is the procedure for the groom to pick up the bride at the bride's house, and it is also the time for the bride to officially pass through the door.

In order to support the scene for friends.

Lu Yuan directly set up flowing water seats in the city, and three thousand tables were set up in the taverns and even in the open spaces of the streets, all of which were filled with drinking water and could be enjoyed by anyone.

Anyway, as long as there is wine and meat, a table of dishes is cheaper, and the hundred dollars are enough.

The cost of a day is four hundred taels, more than a thousand taels of silver, which is enough to feed tens of thousands of people in the city for three days.

The team that greeted the relatives directly pulled out the government soldiers, lined up the whole army, and put on red clothes, so it was not majestic.

Anyone who passes along the way is amazed.

In fact, according to Sun Siwen's temperament, he doesn't want to be so public. But Lu Yuan's words dispelled his thoughts.

"If you are married, you want to be beautiful, don't you want to give Miss Wenxiu the best wedding?"

Thinking of Wenxiu, any opposition from Sun Siwen dissipated instantly.

For the girl he dreams of, he is willing to give the best he can give.

Therefore, in the end, he could only look at Lu Yuan and said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Lu." ”

Arrived at the prefect's yamen.

The Cui family had already prepared the bride, and as soon as the welcoming team came, they sent a sedan chair.

Before leaving, Lu Yuan looked at Governor Cui, who had a somewhat complicated emotion, understood the other party's old father's idea of sending his daughter away, and smiled and said with relief: "Lord Cui, this time I want to congratulate you on finding a good son-in-law." ”

Cui Changqing restrained a trace of loss in his heart, looked back at Lu Yuan, and said helplessly: "The old man has found a good son-in-law." However, Lord Lu, Yingqin used government soldiers, and there were 3,000 flowing water seats in the city, which was a bit out of line. ”

Lu Yuan hadn't said anything about this pomp in advance, so Cui Changqing was also frightened when he heard about it.

One is to marvel at the other party's financial resources. Second, he was also amazed that Lu Yuan was able to do such a thing for Sun Siwen.

However, when his daughter got married, he could have such a face, which made him, a father, also have a bright face.

As for whether it is a transgression......

He glanced at Lu Yuan, the martial artist of the rivers and lakes, in this regard, he could not always be too harsh.

"My Lu Yuan's friends welcome relatives, so naturally they want to have unlimited scenery."

Lu Yuan met Cui Changqing's eyes, smiled, then got up and got on the horse, and said, "Lord Cui, I still have to escort the team, so I won't talk much and meet again in the future." ”

All the way back to Sun's Mansion, it was already full of friends.

Sun Siwen has been an official for more than ten years, especially good at teaching, and has accumulated a lot of contacts.

The students who taught in Changning County at the beginning, after hearing the news of the teacher's wedding, rushed over to all those who had the conditions.

Even the gentry of their colleagues in the original county, after hearing the news that Sun Siwen was promoted to Sima and married the daughter of the prefect, they either invited people to congratulate or personally attended.

And the people here in Shaoyang Mansion are not to mention.

Originally, the subordinates of Wugang County, the gentry of the same colleagues on the side of the city, of course, would not miss the wedding of the first-in-command daughter and the fifth-in-command in the city.

In this way, the Sun Mansion gathered hundreds of people.

The noise shook the sky, the joy was beaming, and it was not lively.

After the banquet, seeing that it was already dark, Lu Yuan helped block those who came to persuade him to drink and wanted to make trouble in the cave room, and said to his friend who was already a little dizzy: "Brother Sun's Spring Festival is short, don't let the beauty wait for a long time, go quickly, I will take care of it here." ”

"Brother Xie Lu."

Sun Siwen's face was flushed, and he couldn't tell whether he was ashamed or excited.

He glanced at Lu Yuan gratefully, and then trotted briskly towards the backyard as if he had been pardoned.

The host had left, and the remaining guests, Lu Yuan, entertained him for a while, and then gradually dispersed.

Early the next morning.

When the sun was three poles, Sun Siwen woke up.

His steps were a little vague, and he staggered out of the room.

When I came to the dining room, I saw Lu Yuan sipping morning tea there, and when he saw himself coming in, he laughed: "Young, the groom woke up, how did he taste last night?" But there was bliss on earth. ”

Sun Siwen thought of last night, his face was swaying, and his face was slightly red, but when he looked back at his friend, he said unconvinced: "Whether it is bliss in the world, Brother Lu is looking for a wife, I don't know." ”

"Haha, I'll forget it. I'm used to being at ease in this life, but I don't want to find someone to take care of me. ”

Lu Yuan laughed, skipped this, turned his head and asked, "What about the bride?" In the morning, although there are no in-laws to see, I, as a friend of my grandson, can be regarded as a little uncle, so don't I come to see me? ”

Sun Siwen said a little hesitantly: "Wenxiu, she was too tired last night, and she couldn't get up at this time. Later, let her meet Brother Lu again. I'll bring her something to eat later. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yuan glanced at his friend's thin figure in some surprise, and then showed an ambiguous smile: "I understand, I understand." Since my sister-in-law is tired, let her rest more. You can see my little uncle whenever you want, don't worry, don't worry. ”

Sun Siwen couldn't hold back any longer.

He blushed, took some food, put it in the food box, and ran out of the dining room as if he were running away.

Behind him, Lu Yuan laughed.

……

After Sun Siwen's wedding, with the end of the three-day flowing water banquet in the city, everything slowly returned to calm.

Except for the people in the city, when they were idle, they still couldn't help but talk about the grand wedding, and no one paid attention to it anymore.

And Wen Xiu also met Lu Yuan on the third day after marriage, and since then he has changed his name to be called uncle.

Lu Yuan was both relieved and a little complicated by this.

Looking at the love of husband and wife, happy and happy.

Seriously, it's impossible to be envious at all.

But he also knew that with the essence of his immortality, love was really a precious thing that he couldn't afford to play.

"The word love, those who can't ask for it are envious, and those who get it are happy at the beginning, but after they lose it, they are sad and sad, and they wear down their minds."

Lu Yuan sighed in his heart, and then a smile appeared on his face: "True love is rare, this thing is too extravagant for me." It's still a game Hongchen, and the girls in Xiaofengxuan are suitable for me. ”

When his friend got married, he was very happy and decided to go to Xiaofengxuan to celebrate for ten days as a token of consolation.

After coming to Fucheng for a few months, Lu Yuan had already discovered that the girls of Xiaofengxuan were good at singing and dancing.

Especially the dancing is the most moving.

Every time he looks at the hot enthusiasm of the girls and the wonderful dancing, he is always relieved.

Then the character of being a good teacher came up again.

In the past, I thought about the thigh era for a long time before crossing over, but I was moved over by Commander Lu, and personally designed dance clothes and dance postures for the girls, and I had a good taste of what I wanted.

"Let's try the Pure Land of Bliss this time."

Sitting in the carriage escorted by the soldiers, Lu Yuan had already begun to think in his heart about which dance he was going to teach his female students this time.

I used to teach some lap dances, and there was a sexy temptation, but I always felt that it was too direct and lacked some charm.

This time, I tried the house dance, subtle style, vague temptation, and I was excited when I thought about it.

Lu Yuan stretched out his head and asked the carriage in front of him to speed up a bit.

……

After staying in Xiaofengxuan for ten days, Lu Yuan set an example and came out of the building with great perseverance.

If it is said that it is ten days, it will be ten days, and real men never break their promises.

After coming out, he first went to inspect the barracks, and as a commander, of course, he could not forget his duties.

After walking around, I found that everything was fine, there was no problem, and I left satisfied.

After resting for a few days at home, he gradually adjusted back to his original regular routine, but before Lu Yuan could continue to retreat and practice, someone from the government office came.

"Lord Lu, the prefect is invited."

So Lu Yuan went to the government office.

After arriving, when he saw Cui Changqing, he realized that the prefect's expression was a little wrong, both happy and a little worried. The two emotions are mixed together, how awkward it looks.

Everyone is in-law, and the two sides are also much closer, and he doesn't have so many scruples, so he asked directly.

"Lord Lu didn't know, just today, I got a spy report from the imperial court, saying that the Pingnan army had won a great victory and annihilated the 50,000 army of Jinghai State.

Jinghai is a small country, and its territory is no more than one county in Dayue.

It has been three years since the 28th year of Longqing, when this country started a border provocation and entered southern Xinjiang.

In the past three years, the Pingnan army has fought a lot of battles with the thieves of Jinghai State, and they have won a lot. This time, he annihilated his army of 50,000 and won a great victory.

Now after careful calculation, in this national war, Jinghai Kingdom has lost no less than 150,000 troops in the past three years.

Now the Pingnan army has lost all its land and led the army to invade Jinghai country.

I heard that the meaning of the saint is that he intends to take this opportunity to destroy this country and completely solve the great trouble in southern Xinjiang. ”

Cui Changqing's tone was a little excited.

Since the death of the first emperor and the accession of the new emperor, in the past three years, Dayue has been suffering from three major troubles.

Because of the war with the Northern Liang people.

Since the young Emperor Liang ascended the throne to the south, the Liang State has fought with the Yue State one after another.

At the beginning, the Yue Kingdom was defenseless, and was directly trapped by the Liang soldiers, and lost thousands of miles. But later, with the arrival of the imperial court's northern expeditionary army, the battle line was stabilized, and even with the strength of the boat division, the Liang soldiers were slowly driven back.

But that young Emperor Liang is also a ruthless person.

In the early years of his reign, the southern expedition failed. He directly ordered the capital to be moved, and moved the capital south to Luodu, which was close to the front line. Directly moved the political center to the south, and solved the domestic nobles and ministers in one fell swoop.

After that, he conscripted the domestic elite for many years, continued to conquer the south of Vietnam, and relied on the war to release the various contradictions of moving the capital to the outside.

In this way, the war between the two countries cannot help but get longer and bigger.

The Liang State has been marching south to the front all year round and has maintained an army of 500,000 men.

And Yue Guo also had to grit his teeth to keep up.

Although there are fewer troops used for defensive reasons, they are still more than 300,000 all year round.

The war in northern Xinjiang is so grandiose that it has become a bloodletting port for the Yue Kingdom, constantly causing the vitality of this dynasty to lose and gradually fall into weakness.

However, Liang Guo was not comfortable.

Liang and Yue are comparable in size, and their national strength is basically equal.

Supporting an army of 300,000, Yue Guo is a little unbearable, how good can Liang Guo be?

In the past two years, the intensity of the border war between the two countries has gradually decreased, and there is a faint tendency to subside.

According to the consensus of the Vietnamese government and the opposition inside and outside the country, it may take another year or two to fight, and the war in northern Xinjiang will come to an end.

However, before the end, Yue Guo has to endure this hard time again.

This first major problem will have to wait for time to be eliminated.

And the second major trouble of the Yue Kingdom is the war with the Jinghai Kingdom.

"But now that Jinghai Kingdom has been defeated, it is seeing that even the national Zuo is about to be gone, so it is a problem for the shortcomings. The problem has subsided. Cui Changqing said.

Lu Yuan also agreed.

Jinghai is a small country, and its country has a population of only a few million, and the loss of 150,000 elites in three years is already a big loss of vitality.

Even if he can't destroy this country this time, after this heavy blow, the other party will not want to recover within twenty or thirty years.

This country is no longer in trouble.

"However, judging from this, two of the three troubles of the Yue country, the Liang country is gradually unable to support the war, and the war will stop in a year or two. Jinghai Province has also been defeated, and it may become Jinghai County of Yue Province at some point. ”

Lu Yuan calculated in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little stunned: "If you calculate it like this, two of the three troubles have subsided." This Yue court has solved most of the troubles.

Without these external troubles, wouldn't it be possible to continue the national ancestry? ”

I still remember that two years ago, when he saw the chaos in Dayue again, he asserted that this court would not last for a few years.

Why is there a bit of ZTE now?

Are you going to be slapped in the face?

Thinking like this, Cui Changqing continued: "Liang Guo and Yue Guo are suffering from shortcomings. But in China, the rebellion in Xichuan County is becoming more and more powerful.

Half a month ago, the Xichuan County Keeper sent a report from the palace.

The 30,000 counterinsurgency troops drawn into Xichuan from my Dongting County were defeated by that group of traitors.

Those troublemakers actually colluded with the Fan people on the plateau, and these two groups of barbarians joined forces and caught the counterinsurgency army by surprise.

Now that most of the army has been lost, more than 10,000 remnants of the army have retreated to the county town, only to be trapped in the lonely city with thousands of county soldiers in the city.

And the rebels outside have captured the land of Qifu, and the west of the county town has been reduced to thief land. Only the land of Sanfu, which is close to Dongting in the east, is still under the control of the imperial court.

Li Xiong, the leader of the rebel army, was even called the Son of Heaven, established the Shu State, and claimed to have 200,000 heroes, which has become a great disaster in the western soil. ”

Speaking of this, Governor Cui's face was pale, his eyes were full of fire, and he was obviously extremely angry.

Think about it too.

As an official of the imperial court, when he heard that there were people under the rule of the imperial court who rebelled, and also captured most of the county's territory, and established the country and became the emperor, he was naturally angry.

Even Lu Yuan was a little surprised.

It seems that my judgment is correct. The Jinghai Kingdom was defeated, but a Shu Kingdom reappeared. Moreover, the two counties of Yulin and Nanhai in the south of the imperial court have been destroyed after the war invasion of Jinghai Kingdom.

Jian'an County was also in ruins because of the civil unrest a few years ago.

Guangling County in the north, because of the war with the Liang State, I heard that it has become a white land.

Counting Xichuan County in the west, after fighting for so many years, it is estimated that it is enough to choke.

In this way, the eight counties of Yueguo, only the three counties of Yuzhang, Dongting, and Linhai, are in a slightly better situation and can supply taxes.

Now the food and salary of the three-way army of the imperial court also points to these three counties. ’

Lu Yuan calculated it carefully and found that the Yue Kingdom, which had already smashed the five counties, was really going to be finished.

This court will not last long.

But he still has some doubts, Jinghai Kingdom was defeated, Xichuan County became Shu Kingdom, these are far away from other counties, hundreds of miles away from Shaoyang Mansion, what does this have to do with them?

Confused, he asked, "Master Cui, you came to me today, is that what you are talking about?" But what else? ”

Cui Changqing nodded: "Now that the state is declining, I see that the Xichuan Shu thieves are no longer controllable. I feel that even if it is the county seat of Xichuan, it may not last long.

But the imperial court has been fighting for many years, and it has long run out of money and food.

At this time, even if he wanted to transfer troops to quell the rebellion, there was no army to adjust, and there was no money to distribute.

Therefore, the Holy Lord shall not issue an edict ordering the local counties to recruit village soldiers on their own to guard the countryside and resist the enemy. ”

Speaking of this, Governor Cui paused, obviously knowing what the consequences would be if this edict was opened.

But now that the country is in such a situation, he can't do anything, so he has to continue: "So I thought, isn't there a thousand soldiers in the government? Now that there is a shortage of six hundred, can it be recruited to fill it?

Don't worry, I'll raise money and food.

Over the past year or so, the officials have eliminated the accumulated defects and reformed the localities, and they have also accumulated a lot of government treasury. It's enough to pay for the military. ”

Someone paid for himself to recruit troops, as the largest military leader in the mansion, of course Lu Yuan would not have any opinions, and said at this time: "As long as the adult's money and food can keep up, it won't take a month, I can." Recruit 1,000 soldiers. Half a year of training is a combatable army. ”

He said confidently.

Lu Yuan still has some experience in this kind of thing like military training.

It is nothing more than recruiting good soldiers, ensuring the supply of military salaries, and then leading troops to suppress bandits a few times, and then you will become elite soldiers.

That's how he trained the 400 people he has now.

Now just copy it and you're good to go.
