Zheng Anping carried the geese to the hall, and his family turned to the east again. Zheng Anping put down his wild goose facing the bride and bowed twice. The best man praised: "Welcome to the new son-in-law!"
Xiao Nu and Gai Nie stood up and walked to the opposite side of Zheng Anping. Xiaonu's face is painted with rouge, her eyebrows are painted with indigo, and her cheeks are plump. This is not the image Zheng Anping had in mind at all. Even after Gai Nie dressed in black, his temperament was completely different, and he also grew a lot taller.
Zheng Anping stepped out of the threshold and headed out the door. Xiao Nu and Gai Nie followed behind, their hairpins jingling. The clan members and others did not follow this time. Zheng Anping took the Anche from Cao Bao and led it to the bride. One of the concubines of the city lord put a small table in front of the car. The small slave and Gai Nie got into the car. Zheng Anping led him for a few steps and handed it to Cao Bao. He got into the leather chariot and drove home, while Cao Bao drove back slowly.
The clan members walked a few steps outside the city with great interest and watched An's car drive into the abandoned city. He turned back to the best man who had followed him and said, "How can your Majesty grant me such generous orders?"
The best man said: "Perhaps Guan Ling sacrificed his life to save the king, so I give it to you!"
The clan members seemed to be saying to themselves: "The men were given leather chariots, bows and arrows, spears and halberds, swords and armor, and the women were given hairpins, pouches, skirts and jackets, and quilts... They became successful overnight!"
The groomsman said: "Life and death are destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven, how can man do that. If you sincerely wish to be rich and honorable, don't wait for today. If you are successful today, you will be ruined overnight. But it depends on how the four horses are raised."
The disciple seemed to feel something, and said: "The words of the phase are correct, the words of the phase are correct!"
The second person and five people rushed to Guanyi at sunrise. Cao Bao was busy preparing for the banquet, and the other four people stood at the gate of the city lord's palace with an Anchai and a baggage. The people in Mr. Wei's mansion washed up slowly, leaving the four people waiting outside the door. It wasn't until he finished washing and changing that he opened the door and welcomed the five people in.
Brother Quan and Xiaosi handed over the ride to the coachman, and the other three went to the hall. Brother Quan and Xiaosi went to the nearby courtyard to pay homage to the charioteer. Yushou patted the grass clippings on his body nonchalantly and went straight to the hall.
Zheng Anping took out three bags full of money, placed them in front of the three people, and asked them to provide labor on their behalf. After some refusal, the three accepted it. Cao Bao briefly explained the current difficulties of Guanyi. Everything has not yet started. When Guanyi is managed and prosperous, it will be enshrined again. The three of them replied with some words of encouragement.
Everyone joked about Zheng Anping's marriage again, and the banquet began. Zheng Anping was still the same as yesterday, saying goodbye after three payments and five meals. Cao Bao quietly called all the people in the city and waited inside and outside the city gate. After finishing the banquet, the five of them went in again, waiting for Mr. Wei's manor to prepare the car and go out. Wait for them to come out in the car, then salute and see them off. After leaving the city gate, the carriage changed to a fast pace, and the cattle also quickened their pace and trotted. Everyone stopped, waved goodbye, and waited until the two cars approached the Great Wall before turning back and thanking the officials. By this time, most of the residents had returned to the city.
On the way back to the abandoned city, Cao Bao said: "I am willing to ask for a post from the governor, and I am willing to feed the four horses!"
Zheng Anping said: "How dare you make Guan Cheng drink his horse?"
Cao Bao said: "Suppose you are riding in battle, with the commander on the left and the captain on the right. If the minister is not talented, he dares to be the charioteer. What can he do but drink the horses? When the ministers are lying in the grass, many cattle and horses will pass by, and they will not be able to do anything. And there are far distances. It is convenient to do things for personal benefit."
Zheng Anping said: "But the best thing is to ask for a ride."
Cao Bao said: "No. It is best if you have to do it personally."
Brother Su said: "Where I am staying tonight, I want to control the order and my husband will not obey! If the order is newly married, where can I go to control the prime minister?"
Cao Bao said: "I don't dare to stay. It's enough for me to have a room in the west courtyard."
Zheng Anping repeatedly said that it was inconsistent with etiquette, and Cao Bao insisted on staying. In the end, Brother Su stopped him and said, "Guan Cheng has nowhere to live, so Guan Ling can live in the former house as Guan Cheng wants." This was the resolution of the conflict.
Zheng Anping said: "Now that my brother's marriage is over, I dare to ask Brother Su to welcome the family."
Brother Su said: "It's a lot of work, so don't treat me lightly!"
Cao Bao volunteered and said: "I don't have to do anything with Guan Wei, but I have five sons to help me. I will take it for my brother."
Su Shi had no choice but to say: "It's all thanks to your hard work, sir!"
Cao Bao said: "If you have a chariot and a horse, why bother?"
Back in the city, everyone went to Zheng Anping's lobby together as before and sat around in a nondescript manner. Unexpectedly, when the back door opened, Xiao Nu and Gai Nie came out, holding a jar of water. Everyone was so shocked that they hurriedly gathered their clothes and sat down.
Xiaonu has changed back to the hairpin skirt and no longer applies eyebrows or makeup. Brother Su said: "How can Madam change her clothes?"
The young slave said, "Yesterday my clothes were tight, but these clothes are not as comfortable as these!" Ge Nie also nodded repeatedly. He also changed into his usual clothes.
Cao Bao said: "My wife is not arrogant about wealth, she is a man among honest women!"
After delivering the water and joking with everyone, Xiao Nu and Gai Nie returned to the back house. Xiao Si said: "It's difficult to enter the Guanling's house! How can I be treated like a lady?"
Brother Su said: "You must be strict with the four girls, you know that."
Cao Bao said: "But if you marry Brother Su, you will marry the fourth brother!"
Zheng Anping said: "Brother Dog doesn't have a family yet, how can he care about himself?"
Brother Dog said: "I give it to my father to find a wife and a house!"
Cao Bao said: "Brother Dog also knows the taste of his wife."
Brother Dog said: "May I ask Guan Cheng, how many of the women he has read are left?"
Cao Bao said: "Look for them one by one!"
Brother Quan said: "After Brother Su, he is the master.
Cao Bao said: "No, no! After Brother Su, there are four brothers."
Xiaosi said: "No, no, after Brother Su, Mr. Nai is also the one!"... The two of them were at each other's throats, and everyone else laughed.
Zheng Anping said: "Sir, I have no choice but to give up. What can I do?"
Xiao Si said: "We built it!"
Cao Bao said: "People without nobility are not allowed to use public funds to build a house."
Xiaosi said: "We will use our personal wealth to do this!"
Zheng Anping said: "The backyard of the post station is where the post official lives. Now the post official is temporarily lacking, sir, you can live here!"
Xiaosi said: "There is no one at the inn, sir. You can just choose one of them to live."
Cao Bao said: "No, no. My young man was dissolute and showed too much mercy. If he is still unmatched now, he may be in three or five years. It cannot be accommodated in one house."
When everyone heard this, they immediately shouted: "How many are there for those who are not matched? How many are there for those who are already matched? How many children will be born? There are few people in charge of the city. It is not appropriate to welcome them one by one!"
When Cao Bao saw that everyone had turned against him, he blushed and said, "Don't make fun of me! Let me think about them one by one and find them one by one. Don't rush."
Brother Dog said: "There is no need to think about them one by one. From near to far, if you find one, you will accept the other, and if you find the second, you will accept the other two. Isn't that okay! Why do they have to enter on the same day?"
Cao Bao said: "Hearing this, you must know that Brother Dog has not had a daughter. Women are very careful, who is first and who is last, who is older and who is younger, they must compare one by one. If one of them does not go well, there will be no peace." "
Brother Dog said: "Sir, since he knows that the woman is considerate, why would you show mercy to her in order to cause harm to her!"
Cao Bao said: "Young people are arrogant, young people are arrogant! Confucius said, when you are young, your blood is not stable, and the warning lies in the color. Good things have to be done. Now that I know it, I regret it." When everyone saw Cao Bao's heartbroken look, Laugh happily.
Zheng Anping said: "The destiny of heaven cannot be violated. Which one is the priority? Sir, you can't plan in advance, you will pay it to God." Everyone said something to me, Cao Bao couldn't bear it, so he had to go out and ride away, and then he got rid of it. Everyone.
After Cao Bao left, Xiao Si also put on his weapons and went out on patrol. Brother Su and Brother Quan also wanted to leave, saying: "Brother Zheng is newly married, so don't leave your boudoir empty. We will retreat while my brother goes into the back house."
After the two left, Zheng Anping came to the back house as expected. I met Xiao Nu and changed my clothes. The two sat opposite each other in the back hall, facing each other in silence for a long time. Zheng Anping looked at the slave and compared it with his impression of the slave that night. After becoming slightly plump, the feeling of being humble has almost disappeared. On the contrary, it still shows a graceful appearance. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "You are the king who really knows people. You can also know women." He asked without saying anything, "Are you also blessed by the king?"
One sentence made the little slave blush and nodded invisibly. Zheng Anping deeply regretted that he had asked Meng Lang, so he went back and added: "Your Majesty has said that Nie Ji is insightful and knowledgeable. If she hides her deep in the palace, she will be buried. Therefore, she is bestowed upon me to show her embrace."
The young slave said: "I am a bitch, so I can't see anything. But I have to serve a noble person, and my wish is enough."
Zheng Anping said again: "Your Majesty has said that Gai Nie Tian's posture is unique and should not be mistaken. I must also ask an enlightened master to sharpen it and perfect it."
The young slave said: "Gai Nie will marry a retainer and he will teach you a lesson. It all depends on the gentleman!"
Zheng Anping said: "Nie Ji knows etiquette very well, she is really extraordinary. Who should I learn from?"
There was a melancholy look in Xiaonu's eyes and he said: "I learned from my father and brother when I was young."
Zheng Anping asked: "Where are my father and brother?"
The little slave said: "He has been dead for a long time!"
Seeing that he was about to fall into sadness, Zheng Anping quickly changed the subject and said, "Where is Gai Nie? Can we watch his martial arts skills?"
The slave bowed, stood up, called Gai Nie out from the side room, and said, "I have met the master!"
Zheng Anping said: "I have regained a minister from my hometown. I am not allowed to call him Lord, but I can call him Father Zheng."
The little slave said: "How can I be rude?"
Zheng Anping said: "Your son is my son. He has been entrusted by the emperor and cannot be looked down upon by his servants."
Xiaonu's heart became hot and tears welled up in his eyes. He quickly turned to Gai Nie and said, "I've seen Father Zheng!"
Gai Nie knelt down respectfully, bowed and said, "I, Gai Nie, have met Father Zheng!"
Zheng Anping also returned the gift solemnly and said: "Since we understand the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers, each should fulfill his duties!"
The two stood up. Zheng Anping said: "You can try out martial arts."
Gai Nie then stood up, tied up his clothes, and performed two rounds of fists and kicks. Zheng Anping saw the applause. He returned to the hall, took the bronze sword given by Lord Xinling, and handed it to Gai Nie. Gai Nie performed two swordsmanships, which was quite impressive. Zheng Anping asked: "How old is Gai Nie?"
The little slave said: "I was born in poverty. I don't know how to keep track of the day. I may be ten years old."
Zheng Anping said: "If you are ten years old, your stature may be short."
The little slave said: "It's really not as good as his actual age. Or maybe there is a difference."
Zheng Anping asked: "How old are you then?"
The little slave said: "The moon will be red soon, and it may be as big as hairpins!"
Zheng Anping's heart tightened and he didn't know what to say!
