Chapter 225
Liu Bu lived in his Liu family mansion for a day, and then started to welcome the bride the next day.
Originally, he lived in the East Courtyard, but now he changed the East Courtyard to his wedding room. Liu Bu initially asked Chen Yuanyuan to live in his East Courtyard, but since he confirmed his marriage with Miss Zheng, he chose a quiet courtyard for her to live in the mansion.
Then he renovated his east wing room. Since the renovation, Liu Bu has never been in.
However, this is also related to his busy work. He has always been running around in Laizhou, Jimo. Since he finally came back to stay here for a day, he naturally sneaked to Chen Meiren to comfort the injured Chen Meiren.
Chen Yuanyuan has been doing well recently. She has been assisting Liu Fuqi in managing the money and grain in the Liu family and helping with the accounts. She is responsible for checking the data with the account book, and then asking Liu Fuqi to sign and archive it if there is no problem.
Because the scale of this disaster relief was very large and a lot of manpower and material resources were mobilized. Fifteen people in charge of the accounting alone were responsible, and this was the accounting room.
They had fifteen accounts, holding abacus, and recalculating and checking all accounts. Chen Yuanyuan was responsible for helping. She was not only proficient in poetry, songs, but also very proficient in accounts settlement.
And after she learned a new accounting method while staying there, she thought it was very good, and then she implemented it in the Liu family, greatly improving the accounting ability of these people.
Of course she was unhappy about Liu Bu finally getting married, which also means that there was someone else in her who cared about her.
Liu Bu said, "Don't worry, no one can bully you with me protecting you."
Chen Yuanyuan said, "I'm afraid that even you were bullied by Miss Zheng, so how can I say I protect me?"
Liu Bu said, "You can rest assured that if I am here one day, no one can bully you. How are you doing here now? If you are too tired and too busy, don't do it."
Chen Yuanyuan said: "I help the Liu family, but I am very fulfilling and busy every day, but my life is very fulfilling and practical. We have helped people. Many people thank the Liu family. Thanks to the Liu family's disaster relief, everyone can survive. Everyone says that we are the Buddhas of the thousands of families, and what about the people who accumulate good deeds?"
Liu Bu said: "There is no way, who said that the current government has no ability to provide disaster relief?"
Chen Yuanyuan said strangely: "Aren't you officials now?"
Liu Bu smiled. This is true. Since his father became the prefect of Laizhou, disaster relief has become the responsibility of their Liu family. If it were the former, Liu Yuanqiao's iron rooster, no one could do anything to him. But if he was still a iron rooster now, he would probably be held accountable by Chen Yingyuan, the governor of Denglai.
Liu Bu hugged her and said, "You can rest assured that you are my beloved and no one can bully you."
Chen Yuanyuan lay in Liu Bu's arms and felt unprecedented warmth and safety. In this man's arms, she felt very safe and fulfilled. Unlike before, she had to worry about the next day every day, but now there is another change in Miss Zheng. I can only say one thing: people have joys and sorrows, and the moon has phases and waxing, and nothing in this world is perfect.
The next morning, after Liu Bu took a shower and changed his clothes, he took his personal soldiers to the dock to welcome Miss Zheng and his party. It was rare that it didn't snow today and the wind was light, so it was a good day.
Passing through the square at the entrance of their Liu family, there were more than a hundred tables here. As long as there were people, they would serve food immediately. Six hours a day, and the banquet would be held.
Liu Bu, who they saw, was wearing the groom's red clothes, rode a tall horse, went to pick up the bride, came to greet him one after another, bowed to him one after another, and blessed him one after another.
Liu Bu was very happy and sat on the horse, and returned the gift very politely.
Xu Jianqiang and Liu Zewang were also mingling in the banquet for a banquet. They put on some makeup, and no one could recognize who the foreigners were.
Xu Jianqiang said to Liu Zewang: "This one is Liu Bu, Liu Yuanqiao's only son."
Liu Zewang and the others are dressed up as ordinary people to celebrate the wine today, so they did not wear weapons. Liu Zewang just said: "If you dare to harm my brothers, I will definitely let you cut into pieces."
Liu Zewang is also a man who has been fighting for a long time. After he came to the area near here, he was first responsible for coming to check in. If he didn't understand the terrain, he would not send troops.
They followed these people who came to have a drink and watched the fun everywhere. They wandered around outside the Liu family. They had a certain understanding of the terrain and houses here, and he also made a battle plan in his mind.
Liu Zewang looked at the crowds of joy everywhere and the Liu family mansion that stretched for more than ten acres. He believed that after tonight, there would be fires rising into the sky and corpses everywhere. Thinking of this, a trace of inadvertent grin at the corner of his mouth.
Now it is not only Xu Jianqiang and Liu Zewang who mingled in, but several of his officials also mingled in the crowd to have a drink. There were flowing mats here, and thousands of people were eating here, thousands of people were having dinner, and a few foreigners came in, but no one noticed that the main purpose of their mingling here was to check the terrain.
Of course, they could only stay outside. They wanted to use the excuse to enter the Liu family's mansion, but when they saw that the Liu family's mansion was quite tightly defended. If they didn't know each other, they would have to have invitations. Without invitations, they wouldn't be able to enter.
Xu Jianqiang said, "We can enter through the dog hole in the back mountain, but we can only check it on the backyard line and we can't see the front."
Liu Zewang said, "There is nothing good to look at. Isn't it just a Liu mansion? If you attack in, those who block me will die."
The Liu family mansion is a mansion built against the mountain, with a total of more than ten acres. There are walls more than two meters high outside. They can turn over them, but they can't withstand the impact of his army at all. As long as they rush into the outer wall, they can kill him.
At this time, the sound of suona and firecrackers sounded. It turned out that Liu Bu's wedding team had returned.
Liu Bu and his friends arrived at the dock, then picked up Miss Zheng and the others on the boat, and set off for the Liu family mansion.
In front of this wedding team is Liu Bu's honor guard, and then he is a band, beating drums, playing suona, and special people burning firecrackers. Liu Bu's good show is indispensable. Some people specially give out candy. After a few days, the personal soldiers rode on the horse, and there were many people, which made it very lively.
Then there was Liu Bu. He was still wearing a big red robe and rode on the horse's back. His father-in-law Zheng Zhibao was in a good suit and walked behind a horse. Followed by Miss Zheng's eight-carriage sedan. They entered the Liu family's mansion in a lively and glorious manner. When they entered the Liu family's mansion, they remembered 300,000 firecrackers, coupled with the sound of gongs and drums, and lions danced, which was extremely lively.
After they entered the Liu family mansion, the sedan chair was carried directly to the main hall, where a large number of local powerful people, gentry and famous people were gathered here. They will be here today.
Liu Bu lifted the curtain next to the sedan chair, reached out to support Zheng Zining, and then pulled her to the hall. Why did he pull it? Because Miss Zheng was wearing a shiwei, she could only see her toes and not see what she saw, so she could only walk forward by Liu Bu.
Of course, they inevitably have to make some traditional things, that is, cross the brazier and cross the threshold to enter the main lobby.
The sound of suona sounded from the lobby. The old Buddha and Liu Yuanqiao were wearing big red auspicious clothes and sat in the middle of the lobby. Zheng Zhibao sat next to him. There were many nobles and local celebrities on both sides who came to watch the ceremony. Everyone was happy and smiling. When they saw Liu Bu stepping in, they said, "Congratulations."
Liu Bu kept bowing, bowed to everyone, and said happily: "I am happy together, thank you!"
Amid the sound of suona, Liu Fuqi said loudly: "The good time is coming! Get ready for the church."
This wedding was the most important moment of ancient weddings. When Liu Fuqi announced, everyone was quiet except for the sound of suona. There were many people who lowered their heads, whispered and talked to each other, but when they talked about the wedding, they stopped.
Liu Fuqi also had a smile on his face and a red face. He said loudly: "Bow to heaven and earth! Kneel."
Liu Bu held Zheng Zining's hand, turned around and knelt outward, and bowed three times outside to worship the world.
After they finished worshiping, Liu Fuqi said loudly: "Please worship the high hall!"
Liu Bu held Zheng Zining's hand and knelt down to his grandmother, Lord Lao Fu and his father Liu Yuanqiao, bowed and kowtowed three times. Behind them was the Liu's ancestor spirit card.
The old man was so smiling that he couldn't see his eyes and said, "Good boy, get up quickly."
Even Liu Yuanqiao, who has always been indifferent to his emotions, had a smile on his face. They both acted as if they were helping them up, but they still sat on the seat and would not get up.
Liu Fuqi said, "Honey husband and wife! Kneel!"
Then Liu Bu and Zheng Zining knelt down to each other and bowed three times.
After they finished their husband and wife worship, Liu Yuanqiao shouted loudly: "The ceremony is over! The gift is completed! Send the bride to the bridal chamber."
The person who sent the bride to the bridal chamber was naturally sent by Liu Bu himself. And the people who were accompanied by many wedding girls and entourages, sprinkled wedding candies and petals all the way, and covered the red carpet along the way, leading directly to Liu Bu's new house.
Liu Bu understood the same thing. If it were in the present, he would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to sign the exchange ring, which would be a legally recognized relative.
However, in ancient times, you had to go through a church to be a legally recognized relative. Without this ceremony of a church, you would not have become a legal couple recognized by the secular world and law.
In ancient times, parents were very respectful of heaven and earth. After worshiping heaven and earth, they then understood each other. Even if they were relatives, they believed that these rituals were sacred and had restraining effect, so they swear to the gods, parents, and themselves to marry each other and become a sacred alliance.
