Lu Xuan went to the temporary residence of the Mi family to welcome his bride. From entering the house to taking Mi Huan away, the whole process took less than a quarter of an hour and was very smooth. Moreover, Mi Fang personally accompanied the bride and did not bother with any more etiquette.
The wedding team returned to the Lu family and went through various procedures under the guidance of the master of ceremonies.
After the process was completed, night had fallen and the full moon rose.
Mi Huan was sent to the wedding room, and Lu Xuan returned to the living room, responsible for entertaining those attending the wedding banquet.
There are many people attending today, including Zhao Gui and Li Qian, the assistant officials of the prefecture, as well as Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Zuo Ci, Mi Fang and other close relatives of Lu Xuan, as well as Cao Xi,
Peng Yuan, Chen Tang and other big family patriarchs who benefited from Lu Xuan.
Everyone came to Lu Xuan's wedding banquet.
The guests present took their seats in the hall, with sumptuous meats, fruits and drinks placed in front of them.
Many people knew each other, and everyone toasted and exchanged glasses. It was very lively.
Lu Xuan toasted one by one, and the atmosphere was very high.
When Lu Xuan came to Mi Fang, he held the wine bottle and said with a smile: "Brother Mi, from today on, you and I are not only monarchs and ministers, but also relatives. I hope that my second brother will support me more in the future."
He did not call him uncle, but called Mi Fang the way Mi Huan called him, in order to bring the relationship closer between the two parties.
Mi Fang is a person with a good face. The more you respect him, the more Mi Fang will do your best. Especially when everyone under Lu Xuan's command is called Lu Xuan like this, Mi Fang looks even more happy, and she is even more devoted to Lu Xuan.
Mi Fang was moved in her heart and looked a little excited. She stood up directly with the wine bottle and said: "My lord, I have lost my job. I have great literary talent. I know nothing about my job. When it comes to managing government affairs, I can't even look up to Mr. Zhang Zhao and other wise men."
He has no qualifications; when it comes to leading troops in battles, he is even more powerless than Zhou Yu and others. He has no ability, but only a heart of loyalty and loyalty to the lord to the death."
Lu Xuan said: "I believe in second brother."
Mi Fang continued: "The younger sister is marrying the lord privately. As the younger sister's natal family, the Mi family has given 300 war horses as a dowry to the lord. But in addition to the personal relationship, the humble position also has another identity, which is
The lord's subordinate, this is a public status."
"After considering the humble position, I still have to give the lord a congratulatory gift."
"So, as my lord's subordinate, I will offer you another four thousand acres of fertile land in Lu'an County to express my feelings to my lord. These lands were bought by me after I entered Lu'an County. Although it is on the border of Lujiang County, there are
If you get fertile land, your lord can reward it to your subordinates, please accept it."
Lu Xuan showed a smile on his face and said: "I accepted the gift from second brother. Thank you second brother."
Fertile farmland is hard currency.
Every big family has its own land, and they regard fertile land as their lifeblood and attach great importance to it.
The land that Lu Xuan arranged for the soldiers' families to farm was mainly the farmland of the Lujiang County government. In addition, there was also some land obtained from the previous destruction of the Zhang family. The Lu family's foundation was mainly in Wu County, although it was also in Shu County.
I purchased land and property, but it was not much, and it was not enough to reward me.
Mi Fang donated 4,000 acres of farmland, which was very useful because it could accommodate soldiers and their families.
In the hall, the faces of many patriarchs of big families showed intriguing expressions.
Everyone started talking quietly.
Many people looked at Mi Fang with a hint of scrutiny in their eyes.
Mi Fang was very particular about donating land. It was not a dowry from the Mi family, but a congratulatory gift as a subordinate of Lu Xuan. After all, the dowry given by the Mi family was three hundred war horses. This was a truly important gift, and no one could fault it.
Yes, everyone will say that the Mi family’s married women are grand.
If the Mi family only gave war horses as a dowry, it would have little to do with them and they would not need to take care of it. But now, Mi Fang, as a subordinate, has given away 4,000 acres of fertile land, which is a problem.
When Lu Xuan got married, Mi Fang's subordinate gave so much, but what about the others?
What about other families?
I didn’t see many gifts given.
This is a slap in the face.
Zhou Yu looked thoughtful. He glanced at the big families such as Peng Yuan, Cao Xi, and Chen Tang. These were the richest people in Shu County and owned the most land. Although many people talked about it, these people
He was talking to himself, but it seemed that he didn't hear Mi Fang's words.
"We need to add fire and let everyone donate their land."
Zhou Yu made a decision in his heart.
His starting point was to make Lu Xuanneng stronger, so he stood up directly and said loudly: "How could we, Lujiang County, not express our gratitude to my lord for marrying the daughter of the Mi family? On behalf of the Zhou family, I, Zhou Yu, offer 4,000 acres of fertile land in Shu County.
As a congratulatory gift."
boom!!
The hall seemed to be in a state of explosion.
Many people started talking.
Especially the heads of the local big families in Shu County, these people looked at Zhou Yu with a bit of resentment. If you want to give gifts yourself, just give them in private, but if Lujiang County didn't express it, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the big family in Lujiang County?
People from all the major families have made a lot of money from Feixian Liquor, and they are eager to make money with Lu Xuan. If they pretend to be dead and ignore the gift, they can get away with it, and no one will say anything.
But what would Lu Xuan think?
If Lu Xuan was unhappy and remembered the gift this time, they would lose their advantage.
Today's Lu Xuan is not just a simple person, he is the governor of Lujiang County. Moreover, Lu Xuan defeated Yuan Shu and captured Hefei, which has become a trend. Lu Xuan will definitely be stronger in the future.
Can you ignore such a person?
Mi Fang gave gifts in front of everyone, which showed the identity and courage of the Mi family. Zhou Yu had already responded, showing Zhou Yu's attitude. If they didn't respond, they would be judged by comparing the two.
All of them had resentful eyes and felt uncomfortable in their hearts.
This is land.
It would be a shame to donate it.
However, the heads of these big families are extremely shrewd people. They weighed the pros and cons and made a decision in an instant. If they donate it now, they and Lu Xuan can still make money back.
If you think about it in the long run, it's not a loss.
Chen Tang was the first to stand up and said in a loud voice: "Prefect Lu, the Chen family has no ability. I offer you five thousand acres of fertile land as a gift. Please accept it, Prefect Lu."
Cao Xi stood up and said: "Prefect Lu, the Cao family has presented five thousand acres of fertile land as a gift to congratulate Prefect Lu on taking a concubine."
Peng Yuan looked serious and said: "Prefect Lu, the Peng family is offering four thousand acres of fertile land as a gift to congratulate Prefect Lu on taking a concubine."
"My Zhang family has donated a thousand acres of fertile land to congratulate Prefect Lu on his wedding."
"I, the Ling family, have offered me eight hundred acres of fertile land to congratulate Prefect Lu on taking a concubine."
…
The heads of the big families who were present expressed their opinions and sent congratulatory gifts one after another. These people held their heads high and looked without hesitation. However, there was a vague look of pain on their faces. They could pretend to be cowardly and ignore it, but if they don't express their opinions today, they will have to find Lu in the future.
Xuan's affairs are difficult to handle.
So, they all gave gifts bravely.
When Lu Xuan saw this scene, he laughed in his heart. Zhou Yu is really awesome. With just one sentence, everyone got involved and gave him fertile land as a gift.
This is hard currency.
With a large amount of fertile land, Lu Xuan can further settle the families of soldiers.
This will be of great benefit to Lu Xuan but not harmful at all.
Lu Xuan was happy in his heart, but his expression was very calm. He held the wine bottle and said, "Lu Xuan is grateful for your kindness. Lujiang County is blessed with all the sages in Lujiang County. I, Lu Xuan, have all of you for your support, and I am even more grateful."
I, Lu Xuan, am so blessed. If you all live up to me, I will definitely live up to you all. Thousands of friendships are all in this glass of wine, please!"
Lu Xuan raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
When the members of the family heard Lu Xuan's promise, their faces showed some relief.
Everyone responded one after another before taking their seats.
The banquet was still going on, and the atmosphere did not diminish at all. Lu Xuan shuttled among the crowd, drinking and drinking with these people, chatting and asking about the current situation.
Lu Xuan is also taking this opportunity to get closer to these people and win over their hearts. Because if Lu Xuan wants to develop, in essence, he needs the full support of these big families in Lujiang County.
Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Tai Shi Ci, and Zhou Tai all have their own expertise, but Zhang Zhao and others took the lead, but Lu Xuan needed a large number of low-level backbones, and these backbones could only be selected from these big families.
Therefore, Lu Xuan wanted to win over people from various families.
The banquet lasted until late at night. Lu Xuan saw off the guests and then sent Lu Kang, who was a little drunk, back to rest. He did not go directly to the wedding room, but went to Da Qiao's yard and had a chat with Da Qiao.
Da Qiao looked at Lu Xuan, who was slightly drunk, and urged: "Husband, tonight is the time to marry the girl from the Mi family, how can you be here with me? Come over quickly, don't leave the girl from the Mi family alone."
Lu Xuandao: "She is a rear-entry student. She is small and can be left to dry. It doesn't matter."
Da Qiao burst out laughing after listening to Weilai's words, and said: "Whatever nonsense your husband says, they are all my sisters, how can this be like this? Especially tonight, it is still the wedding day, so we can't do this. Otherwise, let others do it."
What do you think of me? When the time comes, everyone will say that I am jealous."
Da Qiao sat next to Lu Xuan and pushed gently: "Husband, please stop lingering and go quickly."
"What's the hurry? Don't be in a hurry."
Lu Xuan looked tough and said: "When I was dressed in white and everyone said I was Lu Sanju, my wife took a fancy to me and didn't dislike me. To me, my wife is the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Lu family.
Although the Mi family is rich, no matter what her previous status was, when she enters the Lu family's door, she is still a sister. When she sees you, she has to call you sister."
There was a hint of warmth in Da Qiao's eyes, and he smiled and said: "I understand your husband's intention. Okay, husband, please go quickly."
"What's the rush? Don't be anxious. I still have a lot to say."
Lu Xuan looked calm and unhurried.
Da Qiao said anxiously: "If you have anything to say, husband, let's talk about it tomorrow. I have to rest. The doctor said that now we have to go to bed early and get up early, and walk more and exercise more, so that the child can grow up healthily."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."
Lu Xuan stood up, looked at Da Qiao in front of him, lowered his head and kissed Da Qiao before striding away.
Da Qiao looked at Lu Xuan's leaving figure and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
