    Seeing that Zhang Hong looked stunned and started to talk about etiquette and ethics at length, Wenhan quickly waved his hand and looked begging for mercy.  Zhang Hong suddenly swallowed back what he wanted to say when Wen Han suddenly made a move.

    "That's right. Zigang, my third brother has just returned triumphantly after half a year of fighting. At this time, the whole county of Hedong is full of joy. Please temporarily accept your great principles.

    Ah, right.  Third brother, please quickly settle down these soldiers and horses, and then return to the mansion to see Duke Cai.  Cai Gong arrived in Anyi two days ago. He has a very bad temper. If he knows that you are still lingering here, he will inevitably scold you when he sees you later.  "

    "Teacher? Why is he here?"

    Wenhan was stunned when he heard Zhou Long's words, and then he laughed shamelessly when he saw Xilong.  I immediately recalled that when he led the troops to conquer the Hedong rebellion, he had given orders to Xilong before setting off.  If he learned that he had successfully annihilated the bandits, he would prepare a betrothal gift for him and give it to Chen Liu.

    Wen Han always kept the wedding date agreed with Cai Yan in mind.  I just didn't expect that Xilong was so quick. As soon as he returned to Anyi, Cai Yong had already received the betrothal gift and left for Anyi to wait for two days.

    It¡¯s true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are.  This Xi Zhicai is a little more concerned about my marriage than I am.

    Wenhan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He glanced at Xilong angrily and then ordered Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Gao Shun and other generals to settle down their troops.  And he, Zhou Long, Xilong, Zhang Hong and others went straight back to the prefect's mansion.

    On the way back, Wenhan learned that Zhou Long had already prepared most of the three books and six etiquette required before marriage.  When Wen Han was seriously injured and traveled to the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he was rescued by Zhou Long. It can be said that if the kind-hearted Zhou Long hadn't saved him, he would have died long ago.

    Later, Zhou Long became the sworn eldest brother of the Wenhan brothers. Wenhan's fake grandfather, the horse trainer, was wandering, and the dragon never saw its end.  Wenhan sent someone to look for him long before the wedding date was set, but there was no news.  The elder is a father, and it is appropriate for Zhou Long to prepare these three books and six rituals for him, both emotionally and rationally.

    Among the three letters and six rites, the three letters are the engagement letter, the gift letter, and the welcoming letter. The engagement letter is also the engagement letter, and the man and woman formally enter into a marriage contract.  Lishu, a book of rituals, is a list of gifts.  Welcoming book, the book that welcomes the bride.

    The six rites are: receiving gifts, asking for names, accepting gifts, accepting invitations, asking for appointments, personally welcoming, and making beds.

    Nacai was the first step in weddings in ancient times. When the woman was interested in her, a matchmaker was invited to act as a matchmaker, which was called nacai.  When asking for a name, the man asks for the woman's name and date of birth, which is called asking for the name, that is, "combining eight characters".

    Najib, the name of the name is Ji Zhao, and sent the matchmaker to give Bo Li, which is called Najib, which is ¡®too Wen Ding¡¯.  Nazheng means giving gifts of money, gift cakes, gifts and sacrifices, etc., which is a formal betrothal gift. It is called Nazheng, which is also called "excessive gift".  Asking period: The groom's family asks a fortune teller to choose a day, which is called asking period, also known as "begging for a day", which is also called "selecting a day".

    The groom takes a ceremonial car and goes to the bride¡¯s house to greet the bride, which is called a personal welcome.

    Set up the bed, choose an auspicious day, and a lucky man will move the new bed to the appropriate location a few days before the wedding.  Then, before the wedding, the good fortune lady is responsible for making the bed, spreading mattresses, sheets, dragon and phoenix quilts, etc. on the bed, and scattering various happy fruits, such as red dates, longans, dried lychees, red mung beans and red envelopes.  After the bed is installed, no one is allowed to enter the new room or touch the new bed until the couple enters the room on the night of the wedding.

    Except for the personal welcome, Zhou Long has prepared everything else for Wenhan.  And because Chenliu was far away from Anyi, and Wenhan had already purchased a house in Anyi for Cai Yong.  Cai Yong was not a man who couldn't adapt, so he temporarily used the house Wen Han bought for him as his wife's home.

    Along the way, Wenhan was confused and dizzy after hearing these three books and six etiquettes, but at least he was clear that his wedding day was coming soon.  Zhou Long said that the auspicious day chosen at that time was just three days later.

    Three days later, in Anyi City, the streets were filled with red light, a bright red color.  Both sides of the street were hung with Double Happiness lanterns and plastered with red blessing characters. On the busy streets with people coming and going, everyone's face was filled with joy and excitement. Why were the people of Anyi so happy?

    Because the prefect whom they respect, Wen Han, is getting married today!

    Wen Han originally intended to book all the restaurants in Anyi City, but the shopkeepers of these restaurants unanimously rejected Wen Han.  These shopkeepers guessed Wenhan's thoughts. Wenhan booked these restaurants because he wanted to entertain the people of Anyi and have fun with them.  But how could these shopkeepers ask for Wenhan's silver? Wenhan implemented the farming system, which benefited countless people in Hedong, wiped out the rebellion in Hedong, and restored a stable environment in Hedong.

    These shopkeepers came to the cultural center in personIn the house, it was said that as a member of Hedong, the prefect was benefiting Hedong. On the prefect's wedding, they were willing to do business for free for three days, and the money they spent should be regarded as the bride price given to Wen Han.  Wenhan deliberately refused, but all these shopkeepers were as stubborn as buffaloes. Of course, this was also their intention, and Wenhan finally accepted it happily.

    At this time, in Wenhan Mansion, all the doors and windows were decorated with Double Happiness paper, the corridor in front of the door was filled with Double Happiness lanterns, and servants in red clothes were all around, busy making preparations for the wedding.

    In Wenhan¡¯s room, Zhou Long was busy arranging the groom¡¯s clothes for him again. Zhou Long straightened Wenhan¡¯s groom¡¯s clothes. Looking at Wenhan¡¯s appearance, his nose felt sour and he almost shed tears.

    "Oh. Why do you, a grown man, just cry? It's really useless. Look, the groom's hat on Bufan's head has been stepped on, and the skirt of the clothes is not arranged like this. Let me come."

    Mrs. Lin, who was on the side, almost cried when she saw Zhou Long's misty eyes. She quickly came to Wenhan's side and helped Wenhan tidy up his clothes.

    ?Some people often say that no matter how talented a man is, he will still lack maturity if he has not married and started a family.

    Wenhan got married today and started a family.  Zhou Long and his wife, who had been watching Wen Han come over, felt a little unspeakable in their hearts for some reason.

    "Brother, sister-in-law. Me."

    Wenhan's eyes also turned red and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to express his inner feelings.  In later generations, his parents died early, and his adoptive father Li Rulong, in order to let him learn the skills to save his life, was extremely strict with him since he was a child. Although there was full of family affection, it was all hidden.

    And when Wenhan traveled to the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the family affection given to him by Zhou Long and his wife was completely different from that of Li Rulong.  They were afraid that Wenhan would be hurt a little, so they often nagged him directly. Their love and concern were unabashed.  It can be said that apart from Li Rulong, in Wenhan's heart, he has the most affection for Zhou Long and his wife.  Although he calls Zhou Long and Lin as his brothers and sister-in-law, in his heart, he regards them as parents.  He seemed to have found the shadow of his parents in Zhou Long and Lin.

    "Bufan, how can you imitate your useless brother? How can a man shed tears on his wedding day? Moreover, your status is different now, but you are the governor of Hedong. If someone sees you, you will make people laugh.

    "You kid, you must be very good at marching and fighting.  But he doesn't take care of himself.  No matter if you get married, your sister-in-law thinks that Cai Gong's daughter is very virtuous and polite. She will be relieved to have her take care of you in the future.

    Children, once you get married and start a family, you will grow up.  There will be war in the future, so don't do as many dangerous things as you did in the past.  Did you know that every time you go out to fight, your useless brother has trouble sleeping and eating every day, always thinking about whether you are injured?  If you marry Cai Gong's daughter, you will be responsible for his daughter. Don't let her worry about you like your useless brother.

    ¡°Sister-in-law, I know you are someone who does great things.  But what a big deal is, my sister-in-law doesn¡¯t understand.  But as your family member, your sister-in-law just wants to see you live happily.  It is also possible to have a simple meal.  At least you don't have to worry about it every day.  The sister-in-law thought that Cai Gong¡¯s daughter must have the same idea as her sister-in-law.  "

    "That's enough! Women who don't understand the general situation are just talking nonsense here! What is the origin of Cai Gong's daughter? How can she have the same idea as you, a shrew!"

    Suddenly, Zhou Long pointed at Mrs. Lin and began to yell and curse.

    Lin¡¯s hands trembled, but she did not refute Zhou Long, but continued to arrange the groom¡¯s clothes for Wenhan.  Seeing Lin's silence, Zhou Long sighed several times, not knowing what to say.

    But Wenhan clearly saw a teardrop falling from Lin's eye socket.

    "Sister-in-law, I know. I know. Don't be sad. I will know how to take care of myself in the future. I won't let you, brother, and Yan'er worry."

    Mrs. Lin forced a smile from her face and wiped away the tears with her hands.

    "You child, today is your wedding day. How can my sister-in-law be sad? She is happy, very happy. Well, the time to welcome the bride is coming soon. You should go out quickly, it is not good to be delayed."

    For some reason, Wenhan could no longer hold back the impulse in his heart, and he knelt down towards Lin with a bang.  Mrs. Lin was frightened on the spot, and Zhou Long on the side was also frightened. He walked over quickly and wanted to help Wenhan up.

    Bang!

    Wenhan kowtowed heavily.

    "Brother, sister-in-law. The third brother was originally in this world, without any relatives and alone. If he had not been rescued by the eldest brother, the third brother would have died in the wilderness. Today the third brother is married. But no matter what happens in the future, the brother and sister-in-lawAfter all, the third brother is the closest family member in the world.  "

    "Okay. Okay. Get up, get up. My brother and sister-in-law know your thoughts."

    Zhou Long bit her lip tightly and burst into tears. After helping Wenhan up, her tears couldn't stop anymore.

    Zhou Long and Lin's hearts at this moment are very complicated and difficult to describe.  Whether it is a woman getting married or a man getting married.  As a family member, there are always extremely mixed emotions at that moment.

    After Wenhan bowed again, under the urging of Zhou Long and Lin, Wenhan suppressed his emotions and walked out of the room.  Outside the room, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, Xi Long, Zhang Hong, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Li Qiang, Han Song and others were already waiting.  News of Wenhan's wedding arrived, and with Wenhan's acquiescence, Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang closed the gambling shop for half a month.  Pei Yuanshao and Li Qiang had not seen Wenhan for a long time. They were eager to return home and hurried to Anyi City.

    Everyone saw Wen Han coming out, wearing a red silk groom's suit, a groom's hat on his head, and a big red silk hydrangea hanging on his body, looking very happy.  Everyone laughed in unison.  Xilong didn't forget it and made fun of Wenhan.  This made Wenhan's complicated emotions gradually dissipate, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

    After a while, festive music sounded from the prefect¡¯s mansion.  The groom, with a handsome appearance and sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, was riding a black and translucent horse with only white hooves. His face was full of joy, but he also looked a little nervous.
