After Zhan San left, everyone felt relieved: the unrest within the country should have subsided.

As the first batch of 400 acres of millet matured and the second batch of 400 acres of millet sprouted, Zheng Anping felt confident. First, starvation would not happen; second, it was used for raising horses and sleeping.

There should be enough grass.

Because the car dealership does not have much business, it only has two people, a carriage and an ox. Zheng Anping thought that if four horses came, he would have to recruit a special groom to raise them, which seemed a bit unaffordable. If he could put them in the car dealership

In Liyang, the people there are also professional, so if you don’t have much money, it’s easy to worry about.

He told the people around him that Wuwang would be the first to quit, saying: "The horse given by the king must be a big horse, so how could it be in the hands of a slave? There must be someone dedicated to care for it, wash it, feed it, and run it without any mess."

Brother Su and others also said the same thing. Although the carriage house raises horses, they are only used for pulling goods; horses used for combat must be fed by the driver himself, so that they can be driven satisfactorily when going into battle. If someone else does it for them, I don’t know what will happen on the battlefield.

!Zheng Anping was right after thinking about it, so he had to give up the idea. Thinking that he had a chariot, where would he find the driver and the right driver? He couldn't ask Cao Bao to help him feed the horses again! If he asked Cao Bao to introduce one

, I don’t know how much it will cost.

At noon, the postman also came back, and Cao Bao also came back. Everyone gathered together for a lunch break and exchanged opinions.

The postman reported that Putian had informed him that the fabric for Guan Ling's wedding clothes had been purchased and was being dyed; while the construction of the city wall at Nanguan had not yet been completed, and the city gates and towers were being built.

Zheng Anping reported that Zosan came to ask for an offering and also sent two pieces of dried meat.

Cao Bao said that things in the city were easy to handle, mainly in the palace. There were no female relatives in the mansion, so how could she serve Nie Ji when she came? The four pairs of mother and son had to take turns cleaning everywhere every day, and it seemed they could only do menial work and wait on her.

Human work may not be possible.

Brother Dog said: "Your Majesty gives me a marriage to get Wu Di's nephew? Why don't you bother?"

Zheng Anping said: "Nie Ji is a concubine, and there must be no concubine. I am a scholar, and I cannot be a concubine with etiquette. The husband does official business outside, and the wife takes care of things inside. This is the distinction between scholars. There is no need to keep concubines. If it is needed for a wedding,

But four daughters can be used. She has a son, and mother and son depend on each other, so there will be no problem. Besides, Nie Ji has lived in Guanyi for a long time. At that time, she was very humble, and everyone in Guanyi knew her. Once she is respected, people may not accept her."

Cao Bao thought about it and realized that it made sense, so he gave up.

The lunch break was not long, and everyone went their separate ways. The four postmen went to tend their fields; Cao Bao went to the car dealership to order a car, preparing to go to Xingyang tomorrow to deliver goods, and then went to Guanyi; Xiao Si went to patrol; the rest

The three of them sat together and discussed the marriage.

Zheng Anping said: "Among them, Brother Dansu's marriage can be described as such."

Brother Su said: "I am a commoner, and I am getting married to a commoner. On the last day, all the weak and hairy people from all over the country gathered together, and the one who found the favorite returned home. There was no adoption of anything, and there was no personal greeting ceremony. This should not be an example.

!”

Brother Quan said: "When I get married one day, I should be like Brother Su, not like Brother Zheng."

Brother Su said: "I think Guanyi does not have the courtesy of Shangsi. What can I do?"

Brother Quan said: "But it's okay to treat it as a common courtesy."

Zheng Anping said: "No. When Brother Su gets married, he is a commoner, so he must marry with the rites of a commoner. When Brother Quan gets married, he is a scholar, so he should do it with the rites of a scholar. Don't mess with it."

Brother Quan said: "If I look at the wives of the four brothers, they may increase or decrease in varying degrees - they are definitely not as complicated as Brother Zheng's!"

Cao Bao went to Xingyang the next day to purchase wedding supplies for Zheng Anping, including straw mats, quilts, and a full set of tableware for the ceremony - completely different from the tableware used for cooking and eating. When he came back at night, he informed him of the wedding supplies.

None of the ritual utensils, including Dou, Dun, Zun, Zhuo and Jue, were bought. Uncle Tang told him that such ritual utensils were not used by ordinary people at all, and could only be used by nobles in ceremonies; Daliang did not sell them either, and only Zheng could.

Customized. So Cao Bao rushed to Huayang the next day, visited the Bai family, and went to Zheng to order wedding supplies. Bai Gen heard that Zheng Anping was granted a marriage by Xinling Lord, and immediately asked Lu Buwei to go to Zheng to customize a set of ritual utensils.

, and said that it was a congratulatory gift from the four car dealers in Huayang, and Cao Bao would definitely not have to pay for it.

January went by in a blink of an eye, and the fields of the postmen also began to bear fruit. The groomsmen from Mr. Wei's Mansion came several times to check on the preparations for the wedding. On the day of departure, Xiaosi sent all four postmen out for a trip.

Cheng inquired for information. Under the training of Xiaosi, these four postmen had basically learned that in addition to no longer being afraid of meeting officials, they were also able to inquire for information and run errands to report information. Now they went out in order of furthest.

Near Liang Xiyi. At noon, Liang Xiyi had already discovered the wedding convoy; at dusk, the convoy rested in the village. It set off the next day and did not enter the field until late in the day.

Entering Putian means entering Guanyi territory early tomorrow morning, and Zheng Anping and others are busy. In the back hall, the newly received ritual vessels are filled with fermented glutinous rice paste, fermented fermented glutinous rice, millet, millet and other items according to regulations.

Place them in corresponding positions; the wine in the statue is also placed. The most indispensable ones are the one under the south gate and the juehe hexin held in a basket next to it. Under the steps, there is a

Ding. Soak a newly purchased piece of pork in water in the cauldron and wait until the fire starts.

After arranging things in the hall, Cao Bao rushed to Guanyi and informed the city lord and the parents of each family that Qingcheng would go out to welcome him tomorrow, and notified every household one by one.

At night, Zheng Anping and the other five stripped naked, opened their hair, jumped into the river, and rinsed their hair and bodies. When they returned home, they wiped the water off their hair and helped each other get over it again. Everyone behaved as a scholar.

He dressed up, put a ribbon on his chest, and sat in the front hall to rest.

The sound of Guanyi's drums was faintly heard. Everyone got up and came out of the city, followed by two boys and four postmen. When they came out of the abandoned city and came to Guanyi's city, everyone who could come out of Guanyi was

Everyone has come out, old and young, about two to three hundred men and women. The city lord once again vacated his front house as a temporary residence for the bride.

After Zheng Anping arrived, he talked to everyone about their hard work and then went to the Great Wall. Because there were old people, children and women for more than ten miles, it took almost an hour to arrive. Five miles outside the city gate, everyone stopped and five

The celebrities stood in the front, and the government officials stood in the back. Under the restraint of the city lord and parents, they formed a relatively neat team.

After an unknown amount of time, the bells in the city rang, and a carriage drove out first, followed by a carriage, followed by an empty carriage and a baggage carriage.

Seeing the carriage approaching, Zheng Anping stepped forward quickly. The carriage in front also stopped. The best man jumped out of the car and asked pretendingly: "But are you in charge of your subordinates?"

Zheng Anping said: "Zheng Anping, the minister in charge of the order, and his colleagues, would like to welcome Mr. Wei!"

The best man reported back to Zuo of the carriage, who got out of the carriage and said: "I am a member of the Duke of Wei, and I have been entrusted to protect my daughter and her family members."

Zheng Anping said: "Your Majesty, Zheng Anping, would like to lead you!" The family members and the best groomsmen led Zheng Anping to the front of the car, and said: "The female family members are in the car."

Zheng Anping saluted outside the car and said: "I, Zheng Anping, would like to teach you!"

The female voice in the car responded: "Guan Ling has worked hard!"

The family member and the best minister then led Zheng Anping to the second empty chariot and said, "I have been taught to give Zheng Anping one military chariot, one halberd and spear, one bow, one hundred arrows, and one sword."

Zheng Anping saluted again and said: "How virtuous I am, how dare you receive such a generous gift!" Brother Su came up, took the empty carriage away, and walked in front. Zheng Anping took the reins from the charioteer and followed An'cha.

In the back, Brother Quan and Xiaosi were holding the left and right sides. Behind them was the carriage. Cao Bao accompanied the clan members, the driver and the best man.

When the carriage passed by the governor, the governor, under the command of the city lord, all shouted "Long live!" and followed the carriage back to Guanyi.

The ceremonial gate of the City Lord's Mansion opened wide, and Zheng Anping led the carriage into the courtyard. Brother Dog and others stayed outside the mansion, and only two people from Mr. Wei's Mansion came in. Zheng Anping opened the door of the carriage, and Gai Nie came out first, saluting Zheng Anping.

, then a woman in elegant clothes came out with her head lowered, and helped Gai Nie's hand to get out of the car. She hurriedly saluted Zheng Anping, and the women from the city lord's house came from both sides to take the slave to the back house.

The city lord invited Brother Su and others to come in and held a banquet in the hall. This was naturally arranged by Cao Bao. In the hall, five people, Zheng Anping and others, sat on the east side, and three people from Wei Gongzi's house sat on the west side. In the corridor, the city lord sat on the east side and three coachmen

Sitting in the west, the food at each table is the same, including one tripod and two gui, plus a few plates. There is sake in the hall, and people on both sides of the table exchange greetings with each other.

The groomsman said: "I have ordered you to drive the leather chariot and the carriage back to meet the bride at dusk. We will rest here temporarily and we can go tomorrow."

Thanks to Zheng Anping!

The five people did not dare to eat more. After three payments and five meals, the five people resigned. The clan member took out a slip and said: "Young Master's dowry, please let him accept it!"

Zheng Anping took one look, bowed to the ground, and said, "How dare you accept this generous gift from your Majesty!"

Zongren said: "This shows the friendship between the young master!"

Zheng Anping said: "I dare to die if I don't retaliate!"

Among the five people, only Cao Bao and Zheng Anping knew how to drive a carriage. Two of them drove the car, and the other three led the carriage. The second boy and the fourth soldier followed the car back to the house. It was almost noon.

Suddenly there were eight horses and an ox in the house, which made it look chaotic. Cao Bao had to ask the driver to help take care of the horses and oxen.

After taking a short rest, Zheng Anping began to change his clothes. He tied his hair again, put on his wedding clothes, and brought his robe. Cao Bao called four women to serve in the back house.

After sitting for a while, he calmed down and saw that it was almost dusk. Everyone helped prepare the two carriages. Zheng Anping carried a prepared wild goose, and Cao Bao each drove one and left the city again.

Although it is still brighter, torches have been lit in the city lord's palace, which is brightly illuminated. The governors coming and going can see the scene in the hall: the bride is sitting in the middle of the hall, wearing a red wedding dress; Gai Nie is sitting in the back

, all dressed in black. The family members and the best man were all dressed in purple, walking slowly in front of the hall.

When the servants heard the sound of the carriage, the family members and the best man came to the door to greet him.

The two arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and Zheng Anping and Cao Bao got out of the car. Cao Bao took Zheng Anping's car, and Zheng Anping stepped forward. The clan members turned to the east, Zheng Anping to the west, and the two of them exchanged praises from the best man.
Chapter completed!
