Volume III Chapter 20 Marriage

Three months passed quickly in training, and finally came the day when Luo Changfeng and A Qing got married.

On this day, the general's mansion was very lively, and all the officials headed by the two doctors of Fan Liwen came to congratulate, and then even Gou Jian personally brought his wife, the queen of Yue Yayu to congratulate, which shows the depth of Luo Changfeng's favor.

Gou Jian was very satisfied with Luo Changfeng, under his teaching, the fifty Yue swordsmen made rapid progress, although so far, they have only learned two styles of ape swordsmanship, but their combat effectiveness has been several times stronger than before.

Gou Jian is in the eyes and happy in the heart.

And what satisfies Gou Jian the most is that Luo Changfeng is different from other officials, he does not form a party, let alone engage in personal gain, he only concentrates on teaching swordsmanship and fulfilling his duties.

Among the hundred officials, he has a better personal relationship with Fan Li, and only maintains basic respect for other officials, and does not deliberately make friends with anyone, and even the relationship between the literary genre and him is just average.

In life, as long as he can meet the food and clothing, he doesn't care about the rest, and the annual money and occasional rewards are enough for him to eat and wear, and he doesn't try to collect money.

Such a courtier can be said to be the king's favorite, has no ambition, is willing to accept the status quo, and hands over the army to him, Gou Jian is extremely relieved.

The most important thing is that Luo Changfeng is a latecomer, and he is different from those who know that he is unbearable from Fan Liwen.

Back then, Gou Jian was in the country of Wu, groveling to his husband, and living a very humble life, worse than a slave.

Even in order to gain the trust of his husband, let him go back to Vietnam, and did not hesitate to taste his feces, these black histories are an eternal pain in Gou Jian's heart, and he will never let anyone who knows these things live.

Therefore, after he destroyed Wu, he couldn't tolerate Fan Li and the literature no matter what, which gave Fan Li an impression of "sharing hardships and hardships, not joys".

Luo Changfeng himself didn't know that he had been treated differently by Gou Jian unknowingly, and he was distinguished from Fan Liwen.

He was regarded by Gou Jian as a real right-hand man, a more important confidant than Fan Liwen.

It's a pity that he didn't know that Luo Changfeng was clear about his black history and his "birds hide all the bows, rabbits and dead dogs cook", and he never regarded him as a loyal object in his heart.

The reason why he agreed to be a general was just for A-Qing's mother and daughter to live a better life, and he was ready to withdraw at any time.

......

It was the first time Luo Changfeng had seen Queen Yayu, the queen of Yue, a martyr woman who has been famous for thousands of years.

She is beautiful and moving, knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous, but what Luo Changfeng admires most is her deep understanding of righteousness.

In the battle of Wu and Yue that year, the Yue Kingdom was defeated, and Gou Jian became a prisoner of the Fucha, and Yayu followed him into the Wu State as a slave.

Wu Zixu, the prime minister of Wu, in order to force Gou Jian to rebel, let his husband kill him, and came up with a poisonous plan, when the envoys of the Jin State sent Wu Guo, Wu Zixu actually ordered Yayu to go to bed.

The envoys of the Jin State did not know the identity of Yayu, and they ruined the innocence of Yayu in a daze, and Wu Zixu used this as a handle to blackmail the envoys of the Jin State to sign an unequal treaty.

After Yayu was humiliated, she did not choose to die, but chose to live with great humiliation, why? because she realized that she was not only a woman, a wife, but also a queen.

She not only belongs to herself, to her husband, but also to the country, so as long as her husband still needs her and the country still needs her, she can't die, she can't die like an ordinary woman.

She wants to help her husband, she has to wait to see the retribution of Wu Guo, and when she sees Wu Guo perish, she can die with peace of mind.

So on the day of the destruction of the Wu Kingdom, she killed herself in her palace.

Gou Jian held her body for three days and three nights, without drinking or eating, and then Gou Jian ordered the queen's palace to be buried with the queen.

It can be said that Yayu is a model of ancient Chinese women, three from four virtues, loyal and strong.

When Gou Jian was deposed, she did not abandon him, and when Gou Jian was a slave in Wu State, she still guarded him.

When most of the courtiers thought that Gou Jian had changed, only she unswervingly believed that he was still the original king.

She has paid too much for Yueguo, if Fan Liwenzhong is the hero of Yueguo, then Yayu is the soul of Yueguo.

......

Yayu is very strange, it stands to reason that when she appeared with the king, Luo Changfeng only needed to salute once, but after he saluted the king and said "see the king", he respectfully saluted her and said, "Meet the queen." ”

Gou Jian only regarded him as an official for a short time, and he didn't understand etiquette and didn't care.

Gou Jian didn't notice it, but Yayu noticed that when Luo Changfeng looked at Gou Jian, his eyes were calm, exactly the same as looking at others, and it didn't differ because of Gou Jian's identity.

And when he saluted, he was more upright, as if he were dealing with official business.

But when he looked at himself, there was a touch of respect and admiration in his eyes, and the careful Yayu found that the arc of his worship was deeper than that of the king.

Yayu didn't understand why Luo Changfeng was like this, but she didn't think much about it, and after Gou Jian and Luo Changfeng exchanged pleasantries, Yayu smiled softly: "General Luo is married, and he still needs to be brave and diligent, and give birth to a few more generals for my country." ”

"Hahahaha......" Gou Jian laughed loudly when he heard this, and said: "What the queen said is very true, Changfeng, you must work hard." ”

When Luo Changfeng heard this, he respectfully clasped his fist at Yayu again, and said: "The last general will obey the queen's order and will live up to the love of the king and the queen." ”

"Good, good. ”

After a while, the auspicious time has arrived, and it is time for Luo Changfeng to greet his relatives, needless to say, it is naturally another cumbersome ceremony.

When Ah Qing was welcomed back to the General's Mansion, Luo Changfeng felt that getting married in ancient times was even more tiring than fighting with the Qing court eagle dog or the six-winged centipede.

Fortunately, the weekly wedding still simplifies some procedures, at least there is no section on worship.

After Luo Changfeng picked up A-Qing, the two cleaned their hands and faces together before entering the table, which is called the "Gift of Wo Xu".

When the wo is over, Luo Changfeng and A Qing sit opposite each other, this is called the opposite seat, the position of the opposite seat, male west and female east, meaning that yin and yang will gradually meet.

Then there is "the same prison" and "the same prison", the same prison refers to the newlyweds eating the meat of the same livestock, and the union means that the husband and wife drink from each other's cups.

Turning over a glass is just exchanging cups, not drinking with arms as it was done in later film and television dramas.

The original meaning of the merge is to break the gourd into two, and the combination is into one vessel, which is divided into two and holds wine respectively.

In the beginning, it was used to hold the gourd, which was bitter, and it must be bitter when used to hold wine.

Therefore, the husband and wife change the cup and drink the wine together, which not only symbolizes the husband and wife becoming one and tying the same forever, but also contains the deep meaning of the husband and wife sharing joys and sorrows.

No matter how complicated the ritual is, there will always be a time when it is completed, and after drinking the wine, it is the last procedure, which is called "gluttony and surplus".

The bride is undressed by the maid, and the groom is accepted by the male waiter, and then the waiter comes out with a candle.

At this point, Luo Changfeng and A Qing have officially become husband and wife, and they can do some things they love to do and make a tiger in the door.
