Chapter 422: Liu Bei marries his daughter

Liu Bei's eldest daughter, Liu Lin, was born in the first month of the sixth year of Guanghe; the second daughter, Liu Yao, was born in October of the sixth year of Guanghe; This year is the sixth year of Xingping, that is to say, the two sisters Liu Lin and Liu Yao are already seventeen years old at this time.

The daughters of this era usually marry early. The little lady of the princely family is no exception. Although Liu Bei was reluctant to have a daughter, he also began to pay attention to the selection of a husband for his beloved daughter early under the urging of Lu Heng.

It happened that the Lu family crossed the river and returned, and Liu Bei was extremely happy when he saw Lu Xun during the banquet, and talked about it with his wife Lu Xun that night. Later, after deciding on this matter, he began to worry about his second daughter Liu Yao. As a result, the unmarried Qingzhou Junxiu of the right age seems to be the only Zhuge Liang left.

To be honest, Liu Bei didn't expect Zhuge Liang to happen to him before. Otherwise, for the marriage of his eldest daughter, he would not choose Lu Xun but Zhuge Liang. Over the years, he allowed Zhuge Liang to grow freely in the academy without interference. And Zhuge Liang also performed extraordinarily as always. As long as it is a talent, no matter what environment it is, it can always adapt quickly and stand out.

Zhuge Liang is like this, under the influence and training of a group of great Confucians, he not only recited scriptures, but also showed superhuman talent in military affairs and law. And this is not Zhuge Liang's best place, his best thing is Gewu. There are many weirdos in the Gewu Academy, and Zhuge Liang is one of them. Together with Han Yan, Ma Jun and others, he improved and manufactured a lot of practical gadgets. In Gewuin, that's famous.

Such an outstanding young man was targeted by the Qingzhou scholars early on, but unfortunately Zhuge Liang was obsessed with the academy, and Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin have been serving as officials outside and rarely come back. So after coming and going, I delayed this matter. It happened that Lu Heng was more satisfied with Lu Xun, so he began to worry about Liu Yao's marriage again. After the news spread, someone sent Zhuge Liang's information to the mansion.

Lu Heng took the two sisters Luo Yeke to discuss in the boudoir, and then sent someone to inquire and investigate, and the result was also very satisfied, so he discussed it with Liu Bei. If Liu Bei, the head of the family, does not object, this matter can be settled.

Liu Bei was also having a headache about who could be a good match for his beloved daughter, but he heard Zhuge Liang's name from his wife's mouth. While I was stunned, I was also relieved. Zhuge Liang doesn't say anything else, his character is still reliable. It's just that Zhuge Liang, who assisted himself in history, and Zhuge Liang, who was described as wise and close to a demon, would become his son-in-law, Liu Bei couldn't help but have an indescribable inexplicable taste.

Zhuge Liang's father has passed away, and everything in the family is naturally decided by his uncle and eldest brother. The people in the pastoral mansion sent a message to the past, where would Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin disagree?

They were originally Liu Bei's ministers, and Zhuge Liang was able to be favored by Liu Bei, which was really a blessing that could not be sought. It will be of great help to Zhuge Liang himself and his family. Not to mention that the career of Qingzhou Group is thriving, the girl of Liu Yuanjun's family, after inquiring, her appearance and posture are also excellent. So the matter was settled.

However, in the past year, Liu Bei has been busy with the east and west, and has been leading the army to go abroad and not return. He is not here, who dares to mention marriage. Now that he is finally free, there is nothing to do now, Liu Bei wondered if he would take this opportunity to do this important thing.

Lu Xian listened to Liu Bei's question, and looked aggrieved: "Wait for the husband to ask, my daughter still doesn't know when she will get married." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he looked helpless, after his daughter's husband was selected, he didn't ask again, and handed it over to Lu Xian to manage. It's a bit unreasonable. But he's busy; The second is that he is reluctant to marry his daughter early, thinking that if he can delay one more day, his daughter will be able to stay in the house for one more day. Once married, it belongs to someone else's family.

Seeing Lu Yue's eyebrows frowning slightly, her cherry lips pursed slightly, her eyes flowing, and she couldn't say how moving she was. Liu Bei's heart fluctuated slightly, he stretched out his hand, held Lu Hui's white and tender little hand like a freshly peeled onion, and said with a warm smile: "I'm not at home, everything has Mrs. Lao." ”

Lu Xuan's little hand was held by Liu Bei, and a burst of warmth came over, and then looked at Liu Bei, this general of the current dynasty and a man who stood up to the sky and the earth, it seemed that he was still the brother of Wulang back then. Lu Xuan leaned his body gently towards Liu Bei, and the two of them held hands with small hands and walked forward slowly. Snow, it's falling harder.

In the first month of the spring of the seventh year of Xingping, Liu Bei successively held a wedding for his eldest daughter Liu Lin and Lu Xun, and his second daughter Liu Yao and Zhuge Liang. This is Liu Bei's happy event, and it is also a great joy for the people of Qingzhou.

Glad to hear that the general was married, hundreds of people flocked to Linyong City to offer their treasures to the general. Eggs, chickens, sheep, cows, pigs, and mountain delicacies, etc., made the officials in the general's mansion scramble and smile bitterly. In the face of these enthusiastic people, although the officials in the palace felt that these things were not needed, they still expressed their gratitude to them, and under Liu Bei's instructions, let them elect representatives to participate in the wedding banquet.

At this time, the wedding custom advocated luxury, and the bride price of the wife, when calculated carefully, was only a lot more than that of later generations. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many officials who could not even afford to marry wives because of their poor families, so they could only beat singles. This is still a "civil servant", not to mention ordinary people. Liu Bei came to Qingzhou, was frugal and simple, and could not be extravagant and wasteful. Under his example, Qingzhou officialdom has been effective from top to bottom, and the atmosphere has changed. As for folk customs, Liu Bei is not a god, and he can influence a little bit. There is really no way, and he can't force people through administrative means.

This time when he married a daughter, Liu Bei was also very low-key. After communicating with the Lu family and the Zhuge family in advance, the dowry gifts of the two families have been carefully prepared. It is both dignified and unassuming. As for the return gift given by Liu Bei, that's a lot. Especially the two land deeds, which were placed lightly in the box to press the bottom of the box, made the Lu family and the Zhuge family frightened. Such a generous gift, even if Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang will not be out of office in the future, sitting at home and gnawing on the old is enough for them to gnaw for a few lifetimes. Liu Bei himself is the largest landlord in Qingzhou, and he is absolutely generous to his daughter. Do you have your own daughter, who will hurt if you don't hurt yourself? Although he is here, no one dares to bully his daughter, but with these, he must be in his mother-in-law's house, and his life will be more comfortable.

On the two days of the wedding, countless ministers went out to celebrate the general, and although the Son of Heaven did not come in person, he also sent messengers to congratulate him. Linyong City is completely immersed in carnival, and at night, it is also full of traffic and bright lights.

Zhou Zhong and the ministers, on the top of the high-rise building, feasted together, drunk and hazy, saw the crowd downstairs endlessly, everyone was excited, singing and dancing. I couldn't help sighing: "This is really a prosperous atmosphere, and I have never seen it when the first emperor was there." The general won the hearts of the people, and the blessing of the Han was also. ”

Zhou Hui was on his side, and his thoughts turned back and forth, which was the blessing of the Han Dynasty, but it was not necessarily the blessing of the court and the blessing of the Son of Heaven. Zhou Hui looked into the distance, as if he remembered that day, the tea shops outside Luoyang City met. The young man at that time is now a high-ranking and powerful overlord. There is nothing more wonderful than the wonderful experience of life.
