Views:

The marriage between Xia Yujin and Ye Zhao did not have the dignity of the emperor's marriage, the luxury of the eldest princess' marriage, and the excitement of the wedding banquet in the Qing Palace. However, because of the special status of the general and the ridiculous status of the county king, it was compared to all the weddings in Beijing in the past hundred years. more attention.

The bride, Ye Zhao, has never looked like a woman since she was a child. She is obsessed with martial arts and the art of warfare. She is extremely talented. Neither of her two brothers are rivals. While her grandfather and father were heartbroken, they raised her as a son. son. In addition, the eight years of war and the uneducated soldiers in the army mixed together, marching in the daytime and talking about formations, drinking and eating meat and talking about women at night. In addition, Ye Zhaochu took over the army of 200,000 people in the capital. He was busy with various affairs, and sometimes he didn't even return home when he was working, so he didn't have the slightest sense of marrying.

Grandpa Ye, the Duke of Zhenguo, was confused again. Whenever he saw everyone was busy, he happily said: My grandson is going to marry a daughter-in-law. No matter how others explained it, it was useless, and everyone laughed and laughed.

The groom, Xia Yujin, pretended to be sick and was bedridden, and secretly ordered someone to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to spread his bad rumors, hoping that the other party would get fed up with him and leave his relatives. He has always been a hobhead who is not afraid of being beaten, scolded, not afraid of ruining his reputation, and now he has made it clear that he would rather die than this daughter-in-law. Behaving out of bounds.

Both the royal family and the common people craned their necks to see their jokes. Some private casinos even speculated that they would fight and divorce in the first few days after their marriage.

According to Daqin rules, the dowry is prepared by the mother.

When Mobei was destroyed, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was looted, even if Mrs. Zhenguo left a dowry for her daughter, it was also looted. Now Ye Zhao has been awarded the title of the Great General of the World. He has fought for many years, raided the various tribes of the Manjin, and with royal rewards, he is considered a rich family, but most of them are used to buy fields and shops, and there is no need to collect all year round. Makeup cabinets and mirrors are commonly used items for daughters' dowry.

Besides, her mother had passed away, and the family supervisor was the widowed eldest daughter-in-law Huang, who dared not make any assertions against the powerful Ye Zhao. She only came to her senses when she gently reminded her to prepare for the dowry. There is only a month and a half left until the wedding.

Huang Shi had to bite the bullet, she frowned and asked: General, our family has no shortage of money and silver, but where can I buy things

Ye Zhao was looking through the roster and resumes of his generals in the study, and said without raising his head: Just get together, it's almost good.

Huang continued to ask: Find someone who is familiar with the DPRK and China, borrow a few pieces from their daughter's dowry, and make them back in the future.

Ye Zhao absent-mindedly said: You call the shots.

Mrs. Huang asked again: There are also wedding dresses and jewelry. Take your time to pick them out. Would you like a pearl and phoenix hairpin, or a glazed and gold silk steppin or a butterfly hairpin with eight treasures, jade and phoenix, orchid inlaid sapphire earrings, suet jade bracelet

Ye Zhao was so busy that she felt dizzy and dizzy at the same time. After enduring it for half an hour, he finally said in a sullen manner: "Speak, I'm a big man, how can I be patient with picking up these bitches? Just pick up a few and throw them in." .

big man

Huang was stunned.

Ye Zhao saw that the other party was shocked, and it took a long time to react and say something was wrong.

Huang was crying bitterly.

According to Daqin rules, women must embroider their wedding gowns by hand when they get married.

Ye Zhao was wearing a black suit with a narrow waist, wearing a sword slantingly, sitting in the study, holding a full of hidden weapons in his hand, with a solemn expression.

I saw her left hand chasing the wind and chasing the sun, two flies with short eyes were pierced by long needles and firmly nailed to the wall, the right hand was full of flowers and rain, and seventeen or eight silver needles ran close to the window to ask for it. The fishy cat's claws pierced the ground, scaring it to the ground, and it ran away.

The bodyguards who followed her couldn't help but shouted hello and praised:

I have been learning hidden weapons for many years, and it is a great fortune to have the general's guidance.

The general is proficient in all eight kinds of weapons, which is really unparalleled in martial arts.

True hero.

Ye Zhao pointed out coldly: The way of martial arts is the most important thing.

Everyone said yes.

Mr. Huang appeared from behind, lengthened his tone, twisted his handkerchief, and cried out in a mournful voice: "General is your heart."

Everyone was silent and quietly retreated.

Ye Zhao's iceberg-like expression was distorted by three points. She lowered her head and continued to stare at the incongruous embroidery frame in the study full of weapons and weapons. It was covered with a red wedding dress without any decoration. I wish I could see a hole. Come, then pull out another hidden weapon from the needle box, hesitate for a moment, and stab it hard.

According to the Daqin rules, when the dowry is attached to the boudoir, the woman loves things.

Ye Zhao lost three of his sister-in-law's hair due to worry, and then listened to her crying and talking about her dead brother for three hours, feeling guilty and acting cooperatively. The rest of the dowry was collected from east to west, plus the make-up given by the emperor and the empress dowager, and it was finally collected.

On the day of the dowry delivery, the streets from the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion to the mansion of Anwang were crowded again. Many people who were part-time workers or shoppers didn’t even do business. More than twice as much, even the roadside stalls selling herbal tea wontons made a lot of money.

Prince An’s mansion opened early, and after a while, there was a sound of joy, and the dowry was not carried by ordinary servants, but by all the tiger-wolf knights, all with straight backs and neat steps, carrying heavy furniture boxes lightly He walked down the street in a dignified manner, with a solemn expression as if he was completing the task of escorting ordnance and forage.

Between ancient and modern, who can use the army to marry

In the face of this domineering battle, everyone couldn't help but cheer.

The first dowry that I walked through was a black iron whip given by the emperor, and the second dowry was a seven-color gemstone golden head and face given by the empress dowager. The empresses, concubines, and clan ministers have given them extra makeup, such as the exquisite Babao Pavilion, the diorama table, and the red sandalwood dressing cabinet. They are so delicate that they suspect that they will take the best guys for their daughters in order to please the most powerful general at present. Out. Then there are the practical things purchased by the government of Zhenguo, including common auspicious items such as buckets of Baizi and Qiansun.

There are one hundred and twenty dowries, the end of which is several miles long.

Xia Yujin was wearing a gorgeous red dress, her originally beautiful face was already as pale as paper, she was standing listlessly outside the gate of Prince An's mansion to welcome guests, her eyes turned east and west, as if she was observing the retreat. It's like going to a prison. The elder brother Xia Yuque greeted all the guests in the spring breeze, but he also felt that his younger brother's expression was too sullen. Based on the friendship of the compatriots, he said comfort: don't take it too seriously, you are also surnamed Xia, the current nephew of the saint, No matter how arrogant the general is, he will give a bit of thinness so that he does not go too far. Now that you have been named the king of the county, you have married a daughter-in-law, and you have to adopt and support yourself, so don't make trouble in the future.

Sister-in-law is knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous. You can stand and talk without back pain. Xia Yujin turned her head away angrily and retorted coldly, but her expression softened a little. As for Ye Zhao, be her general obediently, I will never admit that such a thing is a woman

Xia Yuque frowned and scolded, Ye Zhao regained Manjin, and Megatron Mobei was a first-class hero of Daqin, and he was also deeply favored by the sage. No matter how absurd you are, you shouldn't admit it so rudely

Xia Yujin's ugly face softened a little, Xia Yuque struck while the iron was hot and continued to smooth his hair. Unexpectedly, not far away, there was a clan dude who Xia Yujin had bullied before, winking at him and shouting at him: General Ye is a heroic man, Xia Junwang has a beautiful appearance, she is really a talented woman, and a good wife will sing with her husband forever. good story

Xia Yujin is naturally beautiful, and it is most taboo for people to make jokes about his appearance. Those few words were like knives, extremely sharp, and they stabbed the weakest part of his heart to the point of bleeding.

Xia Yuque bit her head and tried her best to comfort: It's not that bad, don't listen to their nonsense, let's look at the dowry, it still has a daughter's breath, and the Zhenlong mirror is so exquisitely done, maybe the general still has some daughter in his heart. Lovely, what are the strange shapes in the back, they look quite heavy

As soon as the dowry is carried over, the large furniture items will be praised for every piece, but after the box and cage, the last 30 lifts are strange objects tightly wrapped in red cloth, the burden is low, and is responsible for carrying The soldier seemed to be struggling with a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead.

Everyone was very curious, wishing they could see a hole in the red cloth.

Fortunately, God had mercy on him and granted their wishes. As they approached the Prince An's Mansion, one of the poles was overwhelmed and broke suddenly. The object fell heavily on the ground, smashing two cracks into the bluestone ground, and then rolled twice.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, paused their breathing, and stared blankly at the objects on the ground.

A mace shimmering with cold light was lying on the bluestone road, and there seemed to be bloodstains that could not be washed between the sharp teeth.

silence

The two soldiers in charge of the transportation calmly changed the poles, put the weapons back into the dowry together, shouted, lifted them up again, and strode away.

still silent

keep silent

Come on, don't let the prince climb the wall and escape
