Although Wu Nian was marrying a daughter, he was also marrying a daughter-in-law.
Because of Wu's insistence, the banquet was held at Zhang's house. However, Li Ya became a member of the Wu family. There are also many sedan chairs, drums, and dowries.
Zhang Zhen, wearing a red wedding robe, rode on horseback to welcome the bride.
Zhang's mansion was full of guests. It was still Wu’s insistence. Although it was weird, Wu Nian took the high seat.
Under the direction of the master of ceremonies.
Under the attention of the full hall of guests. Zhang Zhen and Li Ya worshiped heaven and earth first, and then worshiped Gaotang. After the ceremony was completed, Zhang Zhen was supposed to lead Li Ya to the wedding room.
The couple knelt down again.
Without waiting for Wu Nian to react, Zhang Zhen kowtowed three times with "dong dong dong". When he raised his head, his forehead was red. He looked grateful and said: "My nephew was kicked out of the house when he was seven years old, and he and his mother took refuge with his uncle. My uncle raised my nephew and supported him to start his own business and marry a woman."
"My uncle's kindness will never be forgotten by my nephew."
After saying that, Zhang Zhen kowtowed three more times. Under the red cloth hijab, Li Ya also wiped her tears and kowtowed to Wu Nian.
Wu was caught off guard, then showed a pleased smile and nodded repeatedly.
This uncle raised his nephew as his son. Uncle, uncle, this is the real father. this is necessary. It should.
Based on Wu Nian's experience and training in the army. But he couldn't hold it back at this moment, his eyes were slightly red, and he exhaled to suppress his mood.
He stood up and first helped Zhang Zhen, then Li Ya. He looked at the tall and strong Zhang Zhen and said, "They are all members of his family. Why are you talking about this?"
Immediately, at his urging, Zhang Zhen led Li Ya to the wedding room.
The guests looked at it and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
Wu Nian puts benevolence and righteousness first in his conduct. Treat your own people sincerely and generously, and be tough against your enemies. Old brothers such as Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Tieniu, and Li Yong were all treated kindly by him.
Which one is not glory and wealth?
They had already heard that Zhang Zhen was raised by Wu Nian before he became successful. Wu Nian's life may not have been easy back then, but he raised his nephew as his son.
An ordinary uncle would not be able to do this.
It is precisely because of all these that the small court of Fuhan General's Mansion has such great cohesion. It’s not just as simple as “recovering Liaodong and expelling the Tartars”.
It is precisely because of this cohesion.
When Wu Nian was pretending to be ill, Liu Zhixing proposed that Wu Yu, Wu Nian's legitimate son, be appointed as an auxiliary general of the Han Dynasty and continue to lead the troops in battle.
The officials who assisted the Han generals at that time collectively agreed.
The beauty of a gentleman will be cut off in five lifetimes.
"Come on, come on. Don't be polite, everyone. I won't come home until I'm drunk today." Wu Nian watched his daughter get married and his nephew get married. He was really happy and greeted everyone.
The guests listened and sat down with smiles.
A banquet was lively and lively.
However, Wu Nian was not really drunk. After drinking, he returned to Wu Mansion in a carriage.
Instead, Zhang Zhen was drunk.
Although this boy has no father, he also has no kin. But there are Lu Yanxun and others who have many friends and a wide network of contacts.
Early the next morning.
After Wu Nian opened his eyes, he groaned and felt a splitting headache. He smiled bitterly and asked Liu Xiang, who was guarding the room, to make some sobering tea.
After drinking the sobering tea and waking up for a while, he went to the outhouse and had breakfast. After resting for an hour, nothing much happened.
When it was almost time for lunch, Zhang Zhen came.
Wu Nian received the news and came to the living room to see Zhang Zhen. But they found that Lu Yanxun was also there. Wu Nian wanted to say, why did you come back today. After seeing Lu Yanxun, he knew it clearly.
After walking straight to the main seat and sitting down, Wu Nian asked with a smile: "Is something wrong?"
Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun stood up, cupped their fists and saluted Wu Nian, then sat back. Zhang Zhen couldn't wait to say: "Uncle. As the saying goes, get married and start a career."
"Now that I have a family, it's time to start a career. Besides, Yan Xun, the others, and I have grown up by practicing martial arts and studying. We want to join the army and ask my uncle for permission."
"General, please agree." Lu Yanxun also said with clasped fists.
Wu Nian looked at Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun, and his eyes stopped on the latter. This kid is the beggar leader he brought back when he sent troops to Mengyuan last time.
The leader of the Beggar Clan. People are very clever.
Over the years he has been studying and practicing martial arts, he has developed extremely well, and his eyebrows are full of heroic spirit.
If Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun were idiots, Wu Nian had no say. But both of them are very good, especially Zhang Zhen, who has extremely outstanding martial arts skills and great potential.
If jade is not carved, it will not become a tool.
Since the man has great ambitions, it is a pity to keep him at home.
Wu Nian was very moved, but he still held it back, shook his head and said, "I passed it here, but for your mother, you have to say it yourself. If she doesn't agree, I won't talk about it."
Zhang Zhen was delighted when he heard this, and then his expression fell. Mother? My mother only has me as a son and she is a loving mother. How could she let me go to the battlefield?
Lu Yanxun opened his mouth, what about me? I don’t have parents, so I can make my own decisions. But he didn't dare to say it.
The two brothers left like this.
Wu Nian and Liu Xiang had lunch and sat for a while. Then they waited for Wu, Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun.
Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun were waiting outside the door, while Wu and Wu Nian sat in the living room to discuss.
Wu's eyes were red and she had obviously cried. Wu Nian looked at her and didn't say much.
"Brother, it's not up to the mother here. I agree to Zhen'er's joining the army. It's just that the sword has no eyesight on the battlefield. I, I, I..."
At the end of the sentence, Wu was stammered and speechless, and her face turned red.
Wu Nian smiled and said: "Don't worry, sister. I will take care of this boy. One. He can guard ten thousand households. Two. He can become my personal soldier."
"Wait for a few years of experience before promoting someone as appropriate."
Speaking of this, Wu Nian's face turned serious. He said in a deep voice, "But sister. Whether it's guarding thousands of households or my personal soldiers, there are risks in joining the army. There is no absolute safety."
"Although this boy is my nephew, I will not take too much care of him. Military achievements and official positions are all achieved with his hands."
"If he is a fool, but he is in a high position, it is a joke with his life and the lives of the soldiers. I will not do this."
In fact, Wu's requirements are not high, as long as her son is safe. She doesn't understand the basics of official position or anything like that. But I have read a lot of storytellers and operas, and I also know that General Pussy led his troops to defeat, which led to a series of serious problems.
"Yes." Wu nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
Then the two siblings discussed it and decided to let Zhang Zhen, Lu Yanxun and others practice beside Wu Nian, that is, as personal soldiers.
Wu left in tears. Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun were very happy. But Zhang Zhen was very filial, carefully supporting Wu and comforting her softly.
Zhang Zhen and Li Ya got married.
Zhang Zhen and Lu Yanxun joined the army.
Wu Nian's two guards of ten thousand households in Guangyang Mansion and the two ten thousand households of the Yalu River Navy were not idle either. One warship after another was launched.
The army gradually became more elite.
The tiger's teeth and claws are much thicker.
