After Guan Yu repelled the Soochow Army, he retreated to Jiangling. Zhao Yun escorted Xu Mu to Xiangyang.
When Xu Shu's mother and son met, they naturally cried. Now Xu Shu was relieved, and Sun Quan's conspiracy was completely frustrated.
There was a big banquet to celebrate the reunion of the military masters, mother and son, and everyone's heart was delighted. Xu Shu told Zhuge Liang and everyone about the marriage of Liu Xun and Sima Ruoxue. Everyone urged Liu Xun to go to meet his relatives as soon as possible.
Three days later, Liu Xun dressed in a dark red dress and rode on a white Lu Jun horse. Behind him are the slowly driving Qixiang cars and the endless welcoming team. At first glance, it doesn’t look like coming home to get married. It's like sending troops to fight. Liu Xun immediately turned his head and looked into the car from time to time. Although the woman in the car was covered with a hijab, Liu Xun could feel the love and affection expressed by the autumn-like eyes in the hijab.
The welcoming team finally arrived on a clearing not far from the Jingzhou State Mu’s Mansion. There were sixty-six brocade tents on the clearing. As the custom of the Han Dynasty was to marry in the green hut, the brocade tents were all made of green cloth. Each tent is covered with felt mats and banquets, and the largest tent is used for worship and observance.
Amidst the drum music, Liu Xun jumped off his horse, walked to their respective Siwang cars, and stretched out his hands. Sima Ruoxue also put his hand on her husband's hand, and got out of the car Yingying. Liu Xun took his wife, tied the knot, walked into the big tent amidst the singing of the waiter, and met Sima Hui. Sima Hui won a current hero as his son-in-law, and he was also happy from ear to ear.
The waiter sang loudly to congratulate the guests and the gift list. They were all Liu Xun's subordinates and Jingzhou Yizhou celebrities.
Because of the meaning of "fainting" by the marriage taker, in ancient times, the worship ceremony was often held at dusk. At dusk, the guests were all seated, and the two couples were standing in front of the hall, holding the Luan belt. After paying respects to the parents of Tiandi, the waiter offered a gourd each on a tray, and a short knife with a red flower pierced in the handle was also contained in the tray. Liu Xun took his wife's white and soft hands, held them on the handle of the knife together, grabbed the short knife together, and split the gourd in half.
The waiter presented another wine bottle and poured the wine into the just-cut gourd (that is, the half of the gourd). The newcomers raised the gourd and drank it, and the guests applauded one after another.
Sima Ruoxue was sent back to Liu Xun's mansion after the ceremony. As General Zuo and Jingzhou Mu, Liu Xun had to accompany the guests to a banquet and support the scene: the sixty-six tents were all famous people in the world. Although they were under his own rule, none of them could be neglected. Guan Yu and Zhao Yun respectfully followed Liu Xun respectfully, each holding a large wine bottle in his hand, and both of them were responsible for pouring the wine when Liu Xun toasted the guests. As the best man's role, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun dressed very neatly today. Zhao Yun even combed his thatch hair, tied it behind his head, and shaved his beard. They looked much more handsome.
Liu Xun’s wine in the jin tent until the cup was dry, the guests also felt a lot of face, and they couldn’t help but feel close. They didn’t know that the wine bottles held by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were filled with wine that had been mixed with water, otherwise Liu If Xun was so drunk that he was drunk, wouldn't he betray the wife who was waiting in the mansion
After Liu Xun entertained the sixty-six tents one by one, he hurried back to his residence amidst the blessings of the guests. Walking into the mansion, you can faintly hear the noise of the guests not far away. Liu Xun patted his face, got sober, opened the door and walked into the new house. Sima Ruoxue heard the noise and lifted his hijab slightly. Seeing that it was Liu Xun, he quickly got up to meet him, and bowed down Yingying: "See you husband. ."
Liu Xun also bowed and bowed, then got up and sat Sima Ruoxue on a chair. Liu Xun picked up the double hook weighing pole on the table. The weighing star on the weighing pole is a celestial phenomenon. Seven stars of the Big Dipper, six stars of the South Dipper, plus the three stars of Fu Lu and Shou, a total of 16 stars. The old rounding system for weighing is sixteen, one pound is sixteen taels, one tael is sixteen yuan, and one yuan is sixteen cents. Therefore, the weighing stars on the weighing pole are divided into sixteen segments. Therefore, the small weighing pole carries the celestial phenomenon. There are also sayings about double hooks. That is, being in pairs and good things are in pairs.
Therefore, in ancient marriages, the bridegroom would use a double hook weighing pole to provoke the bride's hijab.
Liu Xun slowly lifted Sima Ruoxue's hijab with the double hook weighing pole in his hand, revealing her beautiful face. Sima Ruoxue applied a little bit of pink and Daisy today, which was more beautiful than before, and Liu Xun couldn't help but stare blankly.
The two of them were relatively speechless, and Liu Xun felt that his thoughts seemed to have stopped, and the nerdy didn't know what to say. At this time, several maids walked into the room and presented a jug of wine and two white jade wine glasses. It turned out that the newlyweds had to give another marriage ceremony in the room.
After drinking the cup of wine, the maids removed the glasses. A maid took off Sima Ruoxue’s phoenix crown, and the hair bun was disbanded. While combing her long hair, she blessed and said: "One comb to the neck, white hair and eyebrows; The waist is full of descendants; three combs to the end, and never separate." After finishing the ceremony, the maid knelt down and said: "Please rest in peace early." After that, he bowed and exited the new house, closed the door, and the whole room Fell into silence again.
Sima Ruoxue lowered her head, blushing and twisting her happy clothes. Liu Xun looked at his wife with long hair and shawl. It seemed that he could hear the sound of his heart beating. Her whole body became hot and her breathing began to become rapid. . Liu Xun took a deep breath, settled down, and said, "Since I rose up from the army, I have always been cautious, thinking twice about everything, before daring to implement it, for fear of a slight omission."
Sima Ruoxue said shyly: "Husband, it's getting late, and it's time to rest."
"Okay!" After that, Liu Xun hugged Sima Ruoxue...
The morning sun shone on Liu Xun's face through the window lattice. Liu Xun yawned and opened his eyes, only to see two big watery eyes looking at him very closely. Liu Xun was taken aback, and tilted his head back, preparing to get out of the bed sideways to give this assassin who had arbitrarily gotten into his own body a fatal blow. As soon as his body moved, Liu Xun remembered that he was already a family member.
The murderous aura instantly turned into tenderness, and when he looked again, those big eyes were already closed. Liu Xun got closer, and looked at Sima Ruoxue's pretty face lovingly with the sunshine, and saw her crooked eyebrows curled up, her tender face flushed, but her eyes were tightly closed, and she didn't have anything in the morning light. Charm. After a while, Sima Ruoxue's eyelashes trembled, and slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Liu Xun still looking at her, her pretty face flushed. Sima Ruoxue was embarrassed to close her eyes again, so she lowered her eyelashes and called out in a low voice, "Husband."
Liu Xun responded, and Sima Ruoxue secretly raised her eyes. He was meeting Liu Xun's gaze, and her face turned redder. Sima Ruoxue turned her head, her heart pounding, thinking of last night, she couldn't believe that it was herself, it was ridiculous.
Neither of them spoke. Sima Ruoxue only felt a little embarrassed in the new house. She was about to say something to adjust the atmosphere, but she heard Liu Xun whisper: "Hey, there are still many things to deal with in Yizhou. I'm leaving next day!"
Sima Ruoxue seemed calm after hearing this. After a long time, she said, "I want to go too. We have just become a husband and wife. You don't know how long it will take you to come back."
Liu Xun waved his hand again and again: "No, no, the front line is too dangerous."
Seeing Liu Xun's refusal, Sima Ruoxue was very anxious and said: "I'm not going to the battlefield. I'm just waiting for you in the city at the back. But Jingzhou is too far away. I've always been closest to you. The city is waiting for you. Everyone is prosperous, and every one is damaged."
Sima Ruoxue's words moved Liu Xun very much. In fact, he didn't want to be separated from his newly married wife, so he smiled and said, "Okay, but you have to listen to my arrangements."
"Deal!" Sima Ruoxue's face showed a bright smile. After seeing Liu Xun, he couldn't help but kissed him.
Sima Ruoxue saw Liu Xun doing this, and said with a smile: "Still young."
The two laughed for a while, seeing that the sky was already bright, and they couldn't continue lying down like this. Liu Xun sat up and saw that Sima Ruoxue's profanity clothes were scattered on the side, obviously needing to be replaced, so he said: "Lady, you wait a while, I'll go out and find someone to come in to wait." He gave up his pajamas. He lifted the curtain, got out of bed and opened the door.
Opening the door, Liu Xun was taken aback again. He saw several maids holding lacquer trays and a new set of women's clothes on the plates. They were standing at the door. It seemed that they had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Liu Xun opened the door and came out, the maids saluted together: "The maidservant has seen General Zuo."
Liu Xun stammered and asked, "Have you stood here for a long time?"
The maids blushed and all bowed their heads, acquiescing.
Liu Xun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You can go inside and serve the lady and get up." After saying that he was about to flee, but when he saw a maid did not enter the room, Liu Xun asked, "Why don't you go in?"
"The maidservant specializes in bathing and changing clothes for General Zuo." The maid replied with a bow.
"No need, no need." Liu Xun scratched his head. He was just married. This Yanfu can't be tolerated. Besides, he is very dedicated. Liu Xun said, "You can tell me where to take a bath. It's better for me to do this kind of private affairs."
After half an hour, Liu Xun and Sima Ruoxue had breakfast, and Liu Xun went to the meeting hall to summon Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu and others to discuss the further development of Jingzhou Academy. In the process of competing for Yizhou, Liu Xun fully realized the role of equipment, so he believed that it was necessary to expand the scale of the academy and recruit more artisans.
"Master, the original academy was to train scholars, but now it also includes a lot of technical talents, and it has become a comprehensive place. It is not appropriate to call the academy again."
Zhuge Liang said straightforwardly that the academy was built by Zhuge Liang after all, and no one knows it better than him.
"The military division's statement is very reasonable, so please think about it, what should this organization be called?"
Liu Xun smiled and glanced at the adviser and general below, his eyes full of expectation...
