After listening to the introductions of the four people, Mr. Zhongyue’s understanding of Zhan San was confirmed. He then asked the four people some details about their acquaintance and interaction with Zhan San. He found that among the three people, only Ji He and Zhan San had met each other, and the others had only heard about Zhan San. After all, in a remote country, there are so many livestock to slaughter!
The days are especially long in summer, and Mr. Zhongyue is very talkative and full of wisdom. The group of people waited until it was completely dark before embarking on their return journey.
Since Mr. Zhongyue was here, it was inconvenient for everyone to run around carrying straw, so they stayed in Zheng Anping's house where they stayed yesterday to rest.
The four postmen returned to the wing, and only five people, Mr. Zhong Yue and Zheng Anping, were left in the lobby. Mr. Zhongyue closed the front and back doors, and everyone knew that the real conversation had begun.
Mr. Zhongyue started from the most relaxed topic and said: "When you join Daliang, you have to fix the wedding date. The six etiquettes of accepting, asking for your name, accepting, accepting, asking for date, and welcoming have become the fifth, but waiting for the wedding has become the fifth. That’s it.”
Xiaosi said: "Your Majesty and all the gentlemen have worked hard, and if you are just a minister, how can you succeed?"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Mr. Lu personally carried the goose to the girl's door and praised him very much. The owner of the restaurant had a close relationship with Youhuo. As soon as he heard about it, he accepted the goose and told him the girl's name and birth date. Mr. Lu returned home. Your Majesty ordered Mr. Cao to divine it, and it would bring good luck. Later, I heard Mr. Cao said that the right team would like to welcome him at the end of the year. The prediction was on the 13th day of the winter lunar month, and it would be auspicious. When the time comes, the right team will escort the chariot and arrive in person. Isn't it heaven? Oh! Immediately prepare the betrothal gifts and go to the house of the house. The housekeeper and the waiter meet each other and burst into tears. Please bring out the wife of the house, and the couple bows three times and the ceremony is completed. The couple diligently gives instructions, and the bartender in the house cooks chicken and slaughters the sheep. Everyone is illuminated by it!"
Zheng Anping said: "Sir, are you really close to me?"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "It's not just me, but Mr. Zhang Yue, Mr. Guo, Mr. Cao, Mr. Jin...everyone who goes to Huayang will come there. If the emperor fails to come, it is because he is not in the right place."
Everyone sitting there was moved, and they all bowed to the ground and said, "How lucky I am to receive such kindness from you!"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "The second thing is the marriage of Mr. Zheng..." When everyone saw the mention of the marriage, they all sat upright. Mr. Zhongyue said: "Guan Yi is a small slave, and the master knows it. Although he is leaning against the door, his nature is heroic, and his vision is far-reaching. Even though he is a man, he is the best, and the king respects him deeply. He wants to be included in the deep palace, but he is no more than a concubine. Ye, humiliate him. I want to give it to a hero, or be a good help. Mr. Zheng and your Majesty have a life-long relationship, which cannot be repaid by a mere person. Now that the prince is in charge of the city alone, everything is difficult. The slave has lived in the city for a long time, and is familiar with the customs and knowledge. Zhuo Yuan, maybe I'll be lucky if I can get some help from Guan Ling."
Zheng Anping said: "How virtuous I am, I have received such great kindness from you! I feel so deep in my heart that I can't help but burst into tears!" Although he said words of gratitude, his tone was very calm.
Mr. Zhong Yue looked at Zheng Anping who was bowing his head and said: "Young master, you don't need to be polite. If you manage the city well and manage the people well, you will gain a lot!"
Zheng Anping said: "I dare to disappoint the king's expectations?"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Although my son is young, he is talented and brave. He can master all the arts immediately after seeing them, and he can master them. Your Majesty gave him the name Gai Nie, meaning that he is still better than Nie Zheng. I gave him the name Nie Ji." "
Zheng Anping said: "I'm sorry! Gai Nie is still young, and his muscles and bones are not intact. If he encounters a strong enemy suddenly, he will inevitably be injured. If his muscles and bones are moved, his life will be ruined. In the troubled times of Guanyi, I don't know what he wants. I hope that Mr. Solve it.”
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Gai Nieruo lives in Mr. Wei's house, but he is just a concubine and has a son. His reputation is so low that he cannot be used for it. I only hope that Mr. Nie will uplift him and set up a harem so that he can be trained and strengthened. If you are strong and your talents grow, you will be very fortunate.”
Zheng Anping said: "Guan Yi is a remote town. Even if we set up a prefecture, how can we get a wise teacher, but we can teach our disciples in primary schools!"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Don't worry, sir. If the governor of the city is given the order of Xiang, your Majesty will personally ask a wise master to preside over it, and you will not have to worry about it, sir!"
Zheng Anping said: "I'm sorry! But the warehouse is relatively solid, so we will set up a preface."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "First there are husband and wife, then father and son, monarch and ministers. The relationship between husband and wife cannot be short-lived. Women complain that men are separated and lose the harmony of heaven. It is not appropriate for brothers to be alone. May they have a family soon." "
Zheng Anping said: "I have no idea, I would like to hear Mr.'s teachings."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Young master, can you welcome your wife within one month?"
Zheng Anping said: "I would like to hear the ceremony of welcoming a wife."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "As a rule, ministers who guard the land never leave the territory. Your Majesty will send your wife to the Great Wall, and your son will welcome her at the border. As for the wedding ceremony, your family will discuss it with your son." Zheng Anping heard this. , I felt uneasy in my heart, and there was inevitably a lot of bleeding, but I could only say: "Here you go!"
Mr. Zhongyue replied: "If it is convenient to manage Wei's family, I would like to move it immediately. Or I may find a concubine in the leader's house, but I will not be able to live in an empty room."
Brother Su said: "I have been waiting in the army for a long time, and the young girl is close to a woman. Although I have a wife and support the family, I will never follow me."
Mr. Zhongyue said: "There are no women in the army. It is an example. However, now that we are in charge of the government of a city, we cannot abolish human relations."
Brother Su said: "Your welcome! As soon as the marriage is completed, I will return to my family in the city."
Mr. Zhongyue looked at Cao Bao again. Cao Bao said: "I am in the wilderness, looking at the number of women. Now I would like to find her unmarried wife and return her to her. I would rather have my daughter betray me, but I will never betray her."
Mr. Zhongyue nodded and said, "We look forward to hearing the good news, sir." Then he looked at Brother Dog and said, "You should marry Zuo Huan when he is in his prime."
Brother Dog knew that he could not hide away, so he had to respond: "I lost my parents, and few people have experienced them. I hope to find them nearby."
Mr. Zhongyue then said to Cao Bao: "Guan Cheng's body is close to the people's sentiments, but if there is someone who is suitable for him, he should talk to him."
Cao Bao knew that Brother Quan had parents in Putian, but he was declared dead, lost his nationality, and went out to work as a soldier. He then said, "The daughters of Guan Yi are all young women. I will find a good match in Putian City in the future and we can take advantage of it." He looked at each other and smiled at Brother Dog.
Mr. Zhongyue said: "In this way, the five brothers all have their spouses. They are not forced to do so. The husband and wife are the first among the five ethics. If the husband and the daughter are angry, it will lose the harmony of heaven. The people in the city will see the commander and the captain's subordinates. If you have no family, you will be doubtful and fearful, and it is difficult to have a stable mind. If the mind is not stable, the Qi will not be calm, and if the Qi is not calm, the mind will be restless, and thoughts will arise, which is the source of turmoil. Therefore, marriage is the beginning of the transformation into a king. How righteous!”
Everyone bowed and said, "I would like to learn from you sir!"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "Before the summer solstice, people live at home and do their business. After the summer solstice, their business is based on human relations. From husband and wife to kings and ministers, superiors and subordinates respect each other, and the etiquette is complete. I hope all brothers will observe it!"
Everyone said: "Here you go!"
Mr. Zhongyue said: "In ancient times, if you want to bring good virtue to the world, you must first govern your country; if you want to govern your country, you must first regulate your family; if you want to regulate your family, you must first cultivate your character. This is the most important thing in politics. How can it be so easy?"
Everyone said again: "Here you go!"
After arranging the government affairs for the second half of the year, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. ——Wherever there is sleep, everyone is thinking about getting a wife and having children.
The next day, Mr. Zhongyue repeatedly reminded the Qi family that governing the country was the principle, and told them to settle down their family first. After confirming the work to be done one by one, and having breakfast, we set foot on the road back to Daliang.
The most important thing at the moment is to prepare for the wedding. Cao Bao personally ran to the city and informed the city lord that the emperor had given him a marriage control order and that he was about to welcome the bride. The city lord readily agreed, but if necessary, he would cooperate. Cao Bao was still worried, so he went to the parents of each family one by one to inform them of the matter, and mentioned that the female family members might be needed to come forward to help. The parents of each family had nothing to say and promised to help. Xiaosi took a postman with him to the nursery or Nanguan every day to report, mainly to get familiar with the local postmen and officials. By the way, I asked about tailoring. When the Putian magistrate heard that Lord Xinling had granted him a marriage, he immediately accepted the offer and sent a tailor from the government to Guanyi to customize a set of wedding clothes for Zheng Anping, from Jue Bian to Xun Shang. It was agreed that it would be ready in one month. He only said that he was congratulating the governor and did not accept any money.
Five days later, the best man of Mr. Wei's residence drove there with the two of them. The best man is a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance. After entering the city, we reviewed the situation, walked around the town, and finally finalized the entire wedding process with Zheng Anping. Cao Bao recorded everything on a wooden board one by one, not daring to make any mistakes. The best man revealed that Lord Xinling will give Zheng Anping a full set of chariots, including complete bridles and a full set of weapons. When Zheng Anping heard the news, a cart and four horses fell out of thin air, and he suddenly felt a lot of pressure. But everyone was cheering, and he had no choice but to thank him.
The best man disdained to deal with savages, so he only explained clearly to the five people and then returned by car. Cao Bao went to the city again to finalize the ceremony process and the preparations they needed to make with the city lord and the parents of each family. The process was so complicated that everyone was a little dizzy. Fortunately, Cao Bao was not dizzy yet and finally explained it to them.
Zheng Anping and the other four rehearsed the entire process over and over again. If the government officials were just the background of the wedding, a slight mistake would be forgiven. They are the protagonists of the entire wedding and cannot make any mistakes. Four postmen were sent out in pairs to communicate the news.
But at this time, Zosan came. He did not go to govern the city, but directly entered the abandoned city. The barking of the puppy alarmed everyone. When everyone came out to take a look, they saw it was Pig San, so they came forward to greet him and saluted respectfully.
Zhan San held two pieces of dried meat in his hand and presented it to Zheng Anping, saying: "Guan Ling is getting married, and I will prepare a wedding bouquet to congratulate you!"
Zheng Anping laughed and said, "Brother Swine has also entered Xiangxu?" which made everyone laugh.
Everyone entered the city together, went to the post house, and sat down opposite each other. Zhan San said: "Why don't you meet Guan Cheng?"
Brother Su said: "Brother Zheng is getting married and needs the help of the people in charge. Guan Cheng calls the people in charge and teaches them. It is difficult to get a body."
Zheng Anping said: "When I get married, my brother and I will make an appointment with relatives and friends, and I will accept this person as the east."
Zhan San said: "Don't dare to disturb us. People from the countryside are afraid of losing their etiquette."
Zheng Anping said: "If it is inconvenient, I should prepare a small gift as a courtesy!"
Zhi San said: "If you get the gift of supervision, you will get a lot of benefits!"
Zheng Anping said: "Is it okay to reach my brother's house in one ride of corn?"
Zhan San was stunned for a moment and said: "How dare you trouble my brothers? I should do it myself."
Brother Dog said, "Uncle Tang's car dealership is here. Brother, I can hire a car to go there. It's worth a lawsuit."
Zhan San said: "In this case, I am very grateful to my brother!"
Shansan didn't refuse or be polite, he went directly to the rickshaw dealer to set up a rickshaw, and drove to the inn together with a rickshaw driver. Zheng Anping had already prepared the corn, and everyone started to carry it into the car. Zhan San and the driver drove away together.
