Chapter 689: May You Be Happy

The sudden rain lasted for two days, and the heavy rain not only caused the hot and dry temperature in Guanzhong to drop, but also alleviated the drought for several months.

In the dry river, there is a murmur of water again.

The people laughed heartily, and soon the whole Guanzhong knew about the big Sima eating locusts and praying for rain. In addition to being grateful, the people respected Lu Bu even more like a god.

When the rain passes, the locusts that used to be a disaster in all directions will suffer a great calamity.

Da Sima roasted and ate locusts, not only was not punished by God, but also rained down to nourish the people.

What does this mean?

It shows that God supports Da Sima!

As a result, the people were no longer afraid of this so-called divine messenger, and rolled up their trousers to the fields and launched a large-scale hunt for locusts.

Now that the drought is over, the next question is the resettlement of these refugees.

Outside Chang'an City alone, there are more than 100,000 refugees, and thousands of stones of relief food are distributed every day.

If you don't eat and drink for nothing and don't work, you definitely can't.

After some discussion, Lu Bu and Xi Ce arranged for the refugees to be distributed to various places, roughly divided into four sections: land reclamation, construction, smelting, and construction of farmland and water conservancy.

Among them, the most personnel investment is in the smelting area.

After years of fighting, the weapons and armor in the barracks were seriously damaged, and many weapons were cracked, so Lu Bu ordered them to be collected and rebuilt.

In addition, Lü Bu also sent people to select hundreds of skilled craftsmen from among the refugees, provide them with food and clothing, and let them be responsible for designing and improving siege equipment.

There are many important towns in the Central Plains, and leading the army to attack is an extremely headache, and Lu Bu has a deep understanding of this.

Although there are siege equipment such as ladders and rams, there are still quite a lot of casualties, and if they can be improved, then after a war, the casualties of their own soldiers will inevitably be greatly reduced.

This is of great benefit to the preservation of strength.

As for land reclamation and farmland water conservancy, Lu Bu does not understand this aspect of scheduling, and Chen Gong and others can only say that they have a little understanding of this.

There is a precedence in academics, and there is a specialization in art.

Let these strategists in charge of strategic layout go to the fields to open up wasteland and divert water, they will definitely not be able to.

After thinking about it, there is only one suitable candidate.

That's the current head of the Cui family, Cui Xu!

Following the death of the previous head of the family, Cui Lie, there has been a lot of turmoil in the Cui family, and the characters of the side branches of each department want to sit in the position of the head of the family, so they have a big fight. Later, under Lu Bu's forcible intervention, Cui Xu, who was the least favored, successfully won the position of the head of the Cui family, which can be regarded as fulfilling the promise made to Cui Xu back then.

Compared with running a family, Cui Xu is obviously better at farmland water conservancy. He followed his uncle Cui Yu to Wuyuan when he was a child, and also witnessed the "April Civil Order" compiled by Cui Yu, from which he also learned a lot of essence.

Before leaving the state, the land and reclamation in various places had always been controlled and handled by Cui Xu.

Lu Bu trusted Cui Xu, so he handed over a series of important tasks of land reclamation in Guanzhong to Cui Xu.

Men work in the fields, and women naturally cannot be idle.

Textile manufacturing, weaving, dyeing, washing, food processing and brewing, sericulture and mulberry breeding, harvesting wild plants for medicine, etc., all of which did not require much physical effort, were all left to the women to do.

In short, it is to do everything possible to mobilize all productive forces to restore the development of Guanzhong.

In the following period, perhaps because of Lu Bu's sitting, Chang'an City was calm.

The time has come to September 22, an auspicious day.

In the early morning, the sky has not yet dawned, and the streets in the west of Chang'an City are already noisy with gongs and drums, playing cheerful songs.

The long procession of welcoming relatives marched slowly, attracting many people in the city to stop and watch, and at the same time there was a lot of discussion.

"Which family is this old man marrying, it's such a big battle."

"You don't even know that? The daughter of the Great Sima Mansion is out of the cabinet, can it not be full of style? ”

"I don't know which son has such a good fate and climbed to the big Sima family."

"It seems to be a kid surnamed Guo, who is said to be from a poor background and has no background."

"Then his life is really good, he has climbed the big Sima, and he will not worry about his career in the future."

The people were talking about the roadside, Guo Jia listened to it, and although he didn't like it in his heart, he didn't show it. What he likes is only Dong Bai's innocence and kindness, not the power of the Lu family.

"Sister, look at that groom officer, how handsome!"

Compared with the envy and jealousy of the men, the girls are full of peach blossoms, the young jade tree on the white horse is in the wind, with a red brocade tied on his head, and a red wedding dress sets off him extraordinarily, especially the faint smile on the face of the white fox, inadvertently throwing a smile, and killing countless girls who are in love in seconds.

If I can marry him, I will be willing to die!

The girls thought in their hearts, such a scene, such a man, how many women's spring dreams of wishful thinking.

When many ladies learned that Guo Jia was married, they even cut off a strand of green silk on their heads, put it into the embroidery bag, and cried and broke their liver and intestines.

The welcoming team came to the street outside Da Sima's Mansion, Guo Jia dismounted, entered the mansion and took Dong Bai in Yan Wei's hand, then picked up the sedan chair, and walked to the Xice Mansion.

During the time he returned to Chang'an, Guo Jia had always lived in the Xice Mansion, and the wedding and new house were also arranged here.

Lu Bu originally said that he wanted to give Guo Jia a house, which was considered a newlywed gift, but Guo Jia refused in person.

Lu Bu, who lost face, couldn't help but be a little annoyed, but fortunately, he came over and became a peacemaker at a critical moment. He said to Lu Bu, anyway, his mansion is very big, and there is no problem for Guo Jia to live here, not to mention that he lives closely, so he can take care of him when he comes and goes.

In this way, Lu Bu did not force it.

After the wedding, the sun has already risen high.

At the gate of the theater, there was an endless stream of officials who came to congratulate, except for the group of generals under Lu Bu, most of them were prominent figures in Chang'an City.

"Congratulations, Guo Gongzi married a beautiful girl, it is really gratifying, a small gift is not a tribute, please Guo Gongzi smile." A bloated man with a smile on his face couldn't help but stuff the gift into Guo Jia's hand.

Guo Jia has long been numb to this, almost everyone who came to celebrate was full of such words, and he was a little annoyed to hear it.

What's more, Guo Jia didn't know these guys at all.

But as the saying goes, if you don't stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling person, Guo Jia is just impatient in her heart, but she still shows enthusiasm and politeness on her face, and invites her hand inside: "Your Excellency Lao is bothered, please sit in the house." ”

Approaching noon, the theater is even more crowded here, and many people have never received an invitation at all, anyway, they just give gifts and walk cheekily into the house.

Guo Jia couldn't resist it, so he had to let the steward of the theater welcome the guests for him, and he himself found a clean place against the wall to rest first.

It didn't take long for a joking voice to sound: "Guo Fengxiao, I said why I didn't see you just now, it turns out that you are hiding here." ”

Guo Jia raised his head, and the young man standing in front of him was looking at himself with interest, dressed in white like snow.

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and then a look of joy welled up on his face: "Xu Yuanzhi, when did you come back?" ”

A month ago, Xu Shu accompanied Zhang Liao to Hedong, where he was responsible for monitoring and deterring the local family from raising food for relief purposes.

It stands to reason that he should be in Hedong at this time.

Speaking of this, Xu Shu glared at Guo Jia, and said angrily: "Guo Fengxiao, you kid can, you don't even notify me in advance of such a big thing as marrying." If it hadn't been for Xi Zhicai's letter to me, I wouldn't have known that your kid would have married today! ”

"Tut-tut, look at your guest lineup, yes! So many big people have come to congratulate you, let me see, Ding Taifu, Yang Taiwei, Wang Situ, Xu Shangshu, Zhang Shangshu...... Up and down the government and the opposition, at least eighty percent of it is here! ”

"It's strange that you have to send me an invitation, and your feelings are that you can't recognize us poor friends!"

Xu Shu's vigorous chatter completely lost the demeanor of an indifferent swordsman on weekdays, like a little woman with a broken mouth.

"Xu Yuanzhi, don't tease me anymore, you haven't been married, you don't know the pain in it. In the more than 20 years since I was born, today is definitely the most sinful day! ”

Regarding Xu Shu's complaints, Guo Jia did not mind.

When they were studying at Yingchuan Academy before, they had fought together, touched fish, and were punished for copying books, what kind of temperament did Xu Shu have, could he still not know?

"That's right, it's really rare that a dissolute character like yours can endure the shackles of such cumbersome etiquette." Xu Shu said with a smile.

Guo Jia gave him a knowing look, stretched out his palm and asked: "What about the gift?" ”

Xu Shu slapped Guo Jia's hand, and Guo Jia suddenly exaggerated: "The relationship between the two of us, you shouldn't have prepared nothing!" ”

Seeing Guo Jia's depressed expression, Xu Shu had no way to do it, and took out two jars of wine from behind him like a trick, "This is the famous local Yuhua brew in Hedong, but I took a lot of effort to get two jars for you." ”

"Xu Yuanzhi, you still understand me!"

Guo Jia smiled all over his face, stepped forward and punched Xu Shu in the chest.

When the lid of the altar was opened, the rich aroma of wine came to his face, and Guo Jia was about to lift the altar to drink, but was stopped by Xu Shu.

Xu Shu gave Guo Jia a slap in the face, signaling that the guests were there, how could there be a reason for the host to secretly drink on the side, if this was to be passed on, it would definitely be deeply criticized.

"They gave me face, they obviously came to cheer for him." Guo Jia seemed to be smiling, stuffed the wine lid in his hand back into the mouth of the altar, and looked at the courtyard of the house.

There, there was a huge crowd of people.

Lu Bu, who was in the crowd, was talking and laughing, and those bigwigs in the court, beside him, seemed to be well-behaved children, nodding their heads again and again.

By noon, everything was ready.

The emcee in charge of hosting took the lead and read aloud: In the past, Hongmeng was opened up, and yin and yang were materialized. All things are raised, and only people are primates. The love of children is long, and the book ceremony is spread. Today, I will get married as a gift, and I will see the letter in the guest. Eat together and drink together. Heaven and earth are the witnesses, and the sun and the moon are the names......

"Shaohua is beautiful, beautiful woman. On the occasion of the wedding, the guests are invited to a banquet. Gather to congratulate the end of the luan. The auspicious time has arrived, please come forward! ”

After the master of ceremonies finished reading, Guo Jia, who was wearing a red wedding dress, slowly entered from outside the hall, holding the other side of the wedding silk, which was his wife who was about to pass through the door.

Green silk bun, beautiful appearance.

"Okay—Wo Yu Li!"

…………

"Okay—Prison Rites!"

…………

"Walk - Harmony Ceremony"

…………

"Okay—worship the church!"

"Bow down, bow again!"

Under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, the ceremony of the wedding was carried out in an orderly manner.

Even though many people on the scene knew that this daughter of the Lu Mansion was actually the orphan of the Dong thief back then, who dared to come out and say it clearly. Lu Bu's finger on the court is a deer as a horse, and many people still remember it vividly.

What's more, Dong Zhuo has been dead for so many years, and if he turns it out again, it will actually have little effect, it will only offend Lu Bu in vain, which is too cost-effective.

By the time it was time to pay their respects, the elders of both sides were already sitting in the middle of the hall.

The woman's elders are naturally Lu Bu and Yan Wei, while the man's elders are Xi Ce and his wife Dong Yan.

Guo Jia has been lonely since he was a child, and outsiders know very little about his life experience.

After the death of his parents, Guo Jia had no relatives, and marrying a relative today made the older drama sit in the position of eldest parent.

Over the years, Xi Ce has always cared for Guo Jia and almost treated him as his own brother. Although he often quarrels on weekdays, Guo Jia has always kept this kindness in his heart.

"Bow to the elder relatives and kowtow!"

Guo Jia and Dong Bai knelt down and kowtowed at the same time, first kneeling Lu Bu and Yan Wei, and then kneeling down Xi Ce and Dong Yan.

Looking at Guo Jia who was standing in front of him honestly, Xi Ce showed a knowing smile, and was very pleased with this: "Fengxiao, I am happy for you today, it is a great pleasure in life to marry the woman I love." I don't know how to say words of blessing, but I hope you will be happy. ”

Guo Jia's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded heavily.

Yan Wei on the other side took her daughter's hand, she was also full of reluctance, and tears couldn't help but cross her cheeks: "Bai'er, from today on, you will be the daughter-in-law of the Guo family, and you will take good care of yourself and your husband in the future." Also, you must be happy! ”

She really loves Dong Bai as her own daughter.

"Mother!"

Under the emotional infection, Dong Bai's tone was crying, lying on his mother's knees, tears flowing.

"Madam, what are you crying on the day of the big day!"

Lu Bu handed Yan Wei a handkerchief, and comforted his daughter by the way: "Bai'er, if he dares to bully you in the future, you will come to Daddy, and I will personally vent for you." ”

Recalling that when she first took Dong Bai into the house, she was only as old as a little bell, and now it seems that in a blink of an eye, she has become a slim girl.

In the past, she would always ask, "Father-in-law, will Weng Weng come to pick me up at the end of the year?"

Lu Bu always rubbed her little head gently, telling her that Weng Weng had gone to a far away place and would not come back for a long, long time.

So, she waited and waited and ......waited and waited

Wait until the snow is covered in winter, and wait until spring returns to the earth.

It's just that after all, she couldn't wait for the carriage that took her home.

Later, she learned that her Weng Weng would never come back.
