………………

Before the start of the Southern Expedition of the Northern Xinjiang Army, another major event occurred in Northern Xinjiang, that is, the general Li Yi married Zhen Mi, the youngest daughter of the Zhen family in Jizhou.

The general's wedding is naturally a big event.

The wedding was held in Jinyang, Li Yi's fiefdom.

The heads of the families of the gate lords who rushed to Jinyang, the officials of the prefectures and counties from all over the country were engaged in Peng's subordinates, the families of the ministers who came from Jicheng, and the foreign tribal envoys who came from the northwest and the desert were more and more.

Fortunately, the Tang Mansion is on the shore of Jinshui, the place is big enough, and the Taiwei Kou Zhun, who presided over the wedding, is orderly and thoughtful, and everything is going well.

At dusk, Situ Tianfeng rode a tall horse, holding a wild goose in his arms, surrounded by a team of guards, slowly walked out of the gate and appeared on the avenue. The onlookers cheered in unison, shouting one after another.

On both sides of the avenue, a group of soldiers of the pro-guard army with bright armor stood on horseback, majestic.

When a lieutenant saw the welcoming procession leaving the house, he immediately waved his hand and made a gesture to the horn men. Eighteen horn soldiers raised their horns, raised their heads to the sky, and the majestic horn sound immediately resounded through Jinyang City: "Woo...... Woohoo......"

The three flag-bearers rushed out of the queue with their horses, held high the general's battle flag, galloped on their horses, the rapid sound of horses' hooves whistled away like a whirlwind, and the excited shouts echoed in the thick twilight: "Raise fire...... Raise the fire ......"

The soldiers of the guards lit the torches in their hands in turn, the flames jumped in the cold wind, the twilight faded in the firelight, and from a distance, it looked like two vigorous fire dragons were flying vigorously on the avenue in the city.

Suddenly, the flames on the west city gate rose into the air, and the two fire dragons collided together, letting out an earth-shattering roar, and the dragon spat fire, and the flames rushed along the avenue outside the city, all the way to the Hanging Urn Mountain bathed in the night.

Jinyang City was overwhelmed by the cheers of tens of thousands of people on both sides of the avenue in an instant.

"Momentum......" Tian Feng waved his horsewhip at the captain of the Guards in the distance to show his praise.

The captain looked smug and bowed slightly reservedly.

Dian Wei drove the carriage onto the avenue. Li Yi sat in the carriage, dressed in brocade. Li Cunxiao and Gao Pet beat the horses on both sides of the carriage. Behind the car were thirty heavily armed horsemen. Thirty-six horsemen followed, playing a festive song.

The sound of the trumpet was loud and loud.

"Raise your spear ......" the captain of the guard raised his sword and roared, "Salute ......"

The drums of the "Boom ......" thundered, and the soldiers of the Guards raised their spears together, and the tips of the snow-bright spears revealed a cold color under the reflection of the firelight.

Xu Maogong, Liu Bowen, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others sat in the two passenger cars and walked slowly.

The welcoming convoy arrived at Zhenjia Beppu on Hanging Urn Mountain.

Beppu was bustling with people inside and outside, and the people outside Jinyang City heard the news, and there were three layers inside and three layers outside, which surrounded Beppu.

Zhen Mi worships the temple, and the temple enshrines the tablet of his father Zhen Yi.

Zhen Mi knelt three times and bowed nine times, and before he could say anything, tears flowed down first: "Father, my daughter is married, please bless your daughter with the spirit of heaven, and bless your daughter and Brother Li Yi to grow old together." ”

"Little sister......" Wuji Pavilion Marquis Zhen Yan hurriedly walked in, "Little sister, the general has arrived, go to the east room to wait." ”

Zhen Mi saluted again, and then Mrs. Xie County Hou and Mrs. Wuji Pavilion Marquis helped up one left and one right.

Mrs. Xie County Hou Zhen Tuo is Zhen Mi's second sister, she gently wiped away the tears on Zhen Mi's face, and said with a smile: "Today is your big day, don't cry." You can get what you want, and you can come to the bitter end, because of the blessing of your father, mother, and ancestors, who will always bless you and the general. ”

"And bless you to have a son." The gentle and demure Mrs. Wuji Tinghou leaned into Zhen Mi's ear and laughed in a low voice, "Don't let your mother down." ”

Zhen Mi blushed and chuckled shyly.

Li Yi got out of the carriage and walked to Beppu surrounded by Xu Maogong, Liu Bowen and others.

When the crowd of onlookers saw Li Yi, they excitedly shouted: "General...... The Great General......"

Many people tried to break through the barriers of the pro-guard forces to see more clearly, and the scene was somewhat chaotic.

Zhen Ju hurriedly walked out of the mansion, followed by Xu Maogong, Liu Bowen and others.

The confessor shouted: "Kneel ......"

Li Yi was about to kneel, Zhen Ju was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "General, it's free, it's ......"

"Today, the lord marries Miss Zhen Mi, you are Miss Zhen Mi's elder, and you should be courteous." Xu Maogong stopped Zhen Ju and said with a smile, "Etiquette must not be messed up, let alone wasted." ”

Zhen Ju didn't listen at all, and grabbed Li Yi's hand, just not letting him kneel.

Liu Bowen and others also persuaded each other again and again: "With so many people in front of you, how can you abolish the ceremony for personal reasons?" ”

Zhen Ju had no choice but to let go.

Li Yi knelt down and bowed. Zhen Ju accepted the salute and welcomed him into the house.

Mrs. Wuji Tinghou stood outside the lobby to greet her. Wuji Pavilion Marquis Zhen Yan is Zhen Mi's brother, since ancient times, the eldest brother is like a father, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and many of the etiquette that should be exercised by the woman's mother at the wedding is replaced by this eldest sister-in-law.

According to the ceremony, the man wants to kneel and worship, but the situation is special, and the person who presides over the ceremony opens his mouth and does not dare to shout.

Xu Maogong glared at the red-faced confessor, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Kneel ......"

Li Yi knelt down with his clothes. Mrs. Wuji Tinghou was so frightened that she reached out and hurriedly reached out to pull, and suddenly she realized that it was too rude to pull the general in public, so she hurriedly bent her legs and knelt, but her arm was dragged by the wife of the general of Zhengxi, Li, and she couldn't kneel.

"You are Miss Zhen Mi's eldest sister-in-law, and you can accept this gift." Xu Maogong bowed to the frightened Wuji Pavilion Marquis and said, "Please accept the ceremony, Madame." ”

Liu Bowen, Jia Xu and others bowed down and said, "Please accept the ceremony." ”

The Marquis of Wuji Pavilion trembled and accepted the salute, pointed to the east room and said, "The little sister of the palace is in the east chamber, please welcome the general in person." ”

Tian Feng picked up Li Yi, pushed him in the direction of the east room, and said with a smile: "Lord, you go to pick up the bride, don't delay for too long......"

"If the bride doesn't want to go with you, you roar, and we'll help you grab it." Gao Zhong pointed to Li Cunxiao and Dian Wei who were standing behind him, and laughed, "We are the best at snatching relatives." ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Big brother, you come with me......" Li stretched out his hand to invite, Li Yi smiled and arched his hand at everyone, and went away.

Mrs. Zhen Ju and Mrs. Wuji Pavilion invited everyone to sit down in the lobby and eat a little wine and food. Gao Pet saw that Li Cunxiao was about to take chopsticks, hurriedly patted him, shook his head again and again, and said, "Just drink some wine, don't eat vegetables, we'll leave immediately." ”

"Leaving right away?" Li Cunxiao muttered in surprise, looked at the exquisite dishes on the dining table and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, "What a pity." ”

Zhen Mi was wearing a twelve-picking heavy robe made of Jinqi Luo Xuan, graceful and luxurious, facing south. Nine rows of maids stood in front of her, each holding a colored gauze fan and standing together, tightly covering her face.

Xun Cai and Zhen Tuo stood at the door to greet Li Yi.

"Big brother, please fan for the bride." Zhen Tuo pointed to the gauze fan in front of Zhen Mi, and said with a smile, "You have to look carefully, don't mistake the bride." ”

Li Yi smiled slightly, walked up to the maid and was just about to raise his hand to push away the first yarn fan, when Xun Cai's voice came from behind: "No, no, you can't let the eldest brother take the bride easily, it's too easy." Our bride has suffered a lot for the sake of the eldest brother, and today we will let the eldest brother taste the bitterness. ”

"Yes, yes, if you don't let the eldest brother suffer today, I'm so sorry for the little sister." Zhen Tuo clapped his hands and applauded, "Let's guess the riddle, and the eldest brother guesses one, so he is allowed to fan it." ”

Li Yi was dizzy, and said helplessly: "De'er, there are nine fans here, you let me guess nine anagrams, when will I guess?" ”

"No matter what, you have to guess." Xun Cai smiled, "If you are heartbroken and don't want her to wait too long, try to guess." ”

Li Yi complained bitterly, and said again and again: "Guess less, how about the three word fans?" ”

"No, no...... "Xun Cai, Zhen Tuo and others shouted repeatedly.

Mrs. Wuji Pavilion and a group of maids also took the opportunity to make a fuss, and the house was in chaos.

"Okay, okay, let's do it, if Mi'er wants to step into the door of the eldest brother early, then help the eldest brother guess together." Xun Cai smiled, "It's started, it's started, I'll start with the simplest, 'Qianli Cao, He Qingqing, Ten Days, Still Not Born', big brother, guess a person you are very familiar with." ”

Li Yi looked at Xun Cai thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo." ”
