"Both brothers are world-famous talents. I'm looking for exactly what I want. How could I reject each other?"
"The two brothers are really giving Liu Zhang timely help!"
Liu Zhang was very excited. He had never received such treatment, never!
Guoyuan and Sun Qian glanced at each other and saw a look of determination in each other's eyes. They all bowed to Liu Zhang.
"General Meng will not give up. We will do our best to serve the general in the future!"
"Guoyuan/Sun Qian pays homage to the lord!"
Liu Zhang stepped forward and helped the two of them up together.
"Why do you two brothers have to be so polite?"
Guoyuan, Sun Qian and others were very pleased. They had deeply felt Liu Zhang's friendship.
"Thank you for your love, lord, but there are no rules. Please don't embarrass us two!"
Liu Zhang nodded. Whether it was Guoyuan or Sun Qian, they were all well-educated men. Like Jia Xu and Xunyou, they all paid great attention to etiquette!
"If you're being polite, I won't say anything. Talking too much will inevitably insult our friendship! I'll beg you to my two brothers in the future!"
"Please rest assured, my lord, we will do our best!"
Guoyuan and Sun Qian both bowed down and swore to Liu Zhang.
"Okay, Brother Guoyuan will be appointed as the head of the Later General's Mansion, and Brother Sun Qian will be in charge of the Later General's Mansion!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
Guoyuan and Sun Qian were overjoyed. They didn't expect that they would be entrusted with important tasks just after they arrived!
Guoyuan, in particular, was very grateful for his choice.
"Since the two brothers didn't receive my letter, they probably didn't know that my brother is getting married in two days!"
Liu Zhang already understood in his heart that when Huang Zhong sent someone to deliver the letter, Guoyuan Sun Qian had already left with Zheng Xuan.
"Oh? Then I'll be here to congratulate you, lord!"
"What a pity. In a few days I will go to the northwest to fight against the Liangzhou rebels!"
Liu Zhang immediately told them about the situation in Liangzhou and recent events, so that they could have a preliminary understanding of Luoyang.
Guoyuan was obviously smarter than Sun Qian. When Liu Zhang spoke, he had already roughly understood the situation.
"My lord, it seems that not only the rebels from all over the country are ready to move, but also the capital Luoyang is about to have trouble!"
Liu Zhang nodded. He was a little afraid of many things. Fortunately, Jia Xu and Xunyou were here. Otherwise, it is hard to say what would happen to him now!
"The Xiliang rebels are approaching the mausoleum. His Majesty is afraid that the mausoleum is damaged, so he ordered me to lead the army to fight. I was worried about the lack of manpower, but I didn't expect my two brothers to come!"
When Guoyuan and Sun Qian heard this, they immediately became energetic. They are all ambitious people, and they certainly don’t want to do nothing.
"My lord, please give me your orders!"
"I'd like to trouble you to hand over all the matters in the house these days, and then Luoyang will be left to my two brothers! Gongda Wenhe will go out with me to fight!"
Guoyuan Sun Qian directly accepted the order, and then looked at Jia Xu Xunyou.
"I've been bothering you two for the past few days!"
"We are all serving the Lord, no need to be polite!"
With the arrival of Guoyuan and Guoyuan, Jia Xu and Xunyou also became busy. The four of them had to hand over many affairs.
Liu Zhang had a rare moment of leisure, but he was about to get married, and Cai Yan couldn't see each other, so he could only wait silently.
The next two days were uneventful and very peaceful.
Although Liu Zhang currently holds a high position, Liu Yan still arranges for him to marry concubines, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.
Because he offended He Jin and Yuan Shao, the general's palace was empty, with only a few people congratulating him.
On the other hand, Liu Yan's Zongzheng Mansion was different. There was an endless stream of guests coming in and out every day, which was very spectacular.
This is just Liu Zhang marrying a concubine and cannot be held grandly, otherwise it will be even more lively.
Liu Zhang did not envy his father's powerful family at all. If his empress general's palace was like this, he would definitely be annoyed to death.
Everything went very smoothly. On the sixth day of the lunar month, Cai Yan was taken into the Hou General's Mansion by Liu Zhang.
Although there were no guests at the banquet, Liu Zhang and his own people still gathered together at his empress general's residence.
In Liu Zhang's opinion, these capable men and strangers under him were far better than butchers like He Jin!
In the evening, after a fierce argument, Liu Zhang finally escaped from the banquet.
He had already made up his mind before the banquet. Even if the King of Heaven comes today, he cannot get drunk!
Despite this, he still could not escape the clutches of the generals, especially Dian Wei, who dragged Liu Zhang and drank him.
Fortunately, the alcohol content in the Han Dynasty was very low, similar to that of beer in later generations, and even the taste was very similar.
Liu Zhang wandered to the door of his new house. Looking at the joyful decoration, he couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
After two lifetimes, this is my first time getting married! The hand that was about to open the door was trembling!
"call...!"
Liu Zhang shook his head, trying to relax, but unexpectedly he became even more nervous, and his heart was beating wildly.
Could it be that he drank too much? Reacting to alcohol?
Thinking of the beauty inside that made him dream, Liu Zhang abandoned his distracting thoughts and pushed the door directly in.
Although the ceremony was simple, the decoration in the house was not missing at all, which was also Liu Zhang's request.
He already owed Cai Yan too much in terms of status, so he had to make up for it as much as possible, even if it was just something trivial.
"lady..."
Liu Zhang walked up to Cai Yan and couldn't help shouting as he looked at the man who thought about it day and night.
Cai Yan visibly trembled. This title seemed far away, but now it was very close.
Liu Zhang picked up the scale beam and gently lifted off the red hijab, and a delicate face appeared in front of him.
"Madam, you are so beautiful..."
Cai Yan lowered his head slightly, and his face, which was already covered in blush, became even more blushing, like a fresh apple that made people unable to resist taking a bite.
Liu Zhang was so fascinated by the beauty in front of him that he kept swallowing his saliva. Under the influence of alcohol, he became even more confused and fascinated, and subconsciously pounced on Cai Yan.
"Husband, I don't want it!"
Cai Yan glanced at Liu Zhang angrily. She really didn't expect him to be so impatient!
"We haven't had a drink yet..."
"Ah! Ahem!"
"Well, I just want to help Madam get up and have a drink!"
Liu Zhang was already lying on Cai Yan, so he pulled her up and helped Cai Yan to the table.
Cai Yan gave Liu Zhang an indescribable look, then picked up the wine glass and put it around Liu Zhang's arm.
"Husband, do you have anything to say at this moment?"
Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Cai Yan to ask such a question.
He just wants to get into the bridal chamber as soon as possible, so he doesn't have the time to think about anything else!
Looking at Cai Yan's slightly wrinkled eyebrows, Liu Zhang knew that it would be impossible if he didn't say something!
Just when he was anxious, something suddenly flashed in Liu Zhang's mind.
"Madam, do you know the four great joys in life?"
Cai Yan thought for a moment and shook his head gently.
"Please give me some advice, husband."
"Hahaha!"
Liu Zhang laughed loudly and looked at Cai Yan with a proud look on his face.
"Listen up, madam! The four great joys in life are dew after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, and the time when the gold medal is named!"
Cai Yan read these four sentences gently again and found that they really made sense.
"Husband, Yan'er understands the first three sentences, but what is the title of this gold medal?"
Liu Zhang didn't want to explain at all and just picked up Cai Yan.
"Madam, I can't explain why the name on the gold medal is husband, but the wedding room with flowers and candles as husband can let you know!"
Seeing the lewd smile on Liu Zhang's face, Cai Yan didn't know what he was going to do, so he buried his head in Liu Zhang's arms.
"Please husband, please have mercy..."
