    Liu Bei was thinking that Zhuge Liang was indeed water, and he could always provide him with a little coolness in time when his fish was trapped by dryness.

    I was secretly happy in my heart, but there was a hint of apology and uneasiness on that gray face.

    "Speaking of which, Zhou Lang and I worked together to defeat Cao Cao, and we can be called old comrades-in-arms. But now I secretly use means to target him like this. I really can't bear it."

    Liu Bei pressed his chest and sighed, his brows knitted together, as if his heart was really in pain.

    "As the saying goes, 'Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters.' If you are like Liu Jingsheng and are just pedantic, you will only end up in the tragic situation of ruining your country and your family. Furthermore, didn't Zhou Lang target the lord many times?  So my lord doesn¡¯t have to blame himself for this at all.¡±

    Zhuge Liang's relief seemed to make Liu Bei feel much better, and his frown gradually relaxed. He sighed softly and laughed at himself: "What the military advisor said makes sense. Maybe, sometimes I am really too burdened by the name of benevolence and righteousness."  ¡±

    Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing.

    Liu Bei sighed with emotion for a moment, and regained his energy, "Military advisor, since it is a foregone conclusion that Nanjun has been obtained, what should we do next?"

    Zhuge Liang pointed at the map on the wall with his feather fan, "Now we are taking this opportunity to sell this favor to Liu Zhang, which will make Liu Zhang have a good impression of the lord. What the lord has to do next is to train troops, collect food, and accumulate strength, while secretly fighting with  Liu Zhang's good communication deceived his precautions and began to prepare for the future plan to conquer Shu."

    Liu Bei stroked his beard with his hand, and his eyes wandered over the vast land on the map. A strange sense of pride quietly flashed through his expression.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Linxiang City.

    The ten days passed in a blink of an eye. The autumn air was high and crisp, the clouds were clear and the wind was gentle. It was as if the heavens had provided a gift for the first and most important wedding in Liu Feng's life.

    The shadow caused by the assassination incident more than ten days ago seemed to have been diluted by the city's lights and colorful decorations. On this day, the citizens of the city were immersed in the festive atmosphere and sincerely expressed their gratitude to their General Zhennan.  Sending my heartfelt blessings.

    The wedding ceremony was co-hosted by Liu Ba and Lu Fan, two capable officials. As the leading actor in this drama, Liu Feng originally thought it was just a formality and did not require too much.  However, when the wedding ceremony officially began, he realized that he was completely wrong.

    ¡°Obviously, neither Liu Ba nor Lu Fan intended to simplify the wedding ceremony. They followed the ancient etiquette and turned Liu Feng¡¯s imagination into a very complicated Zhou etiquette show.

    According to the wedding ceremony of this era, the entire marriage process is actually divided into three processes: pre-wedding ceremony, main wedding ceremony and post-wedding ceremony.

    Pre-wedding rites are divided into six items, namely, accepting, asking for names, accepting, accepting, asking for dates, and welcoming in person.

    Acceptance is a marriage proposal. The man needs to send a matchmaker to the woman's house to propose marriage and provide a token of the proposal.  Asking for a name means asking the woman's name, ranking, time and month of birth, in order to predict whether the marriage will be good or bad.

    The so-called Naji means that after asking for names, the tortoise shell can be used to predict whether the birth dates of the man and woman match. If there is a good omen, an envoy will be sent with geese to the woman's house to announce the good news, and the two parties will formally confirm the engagement.  This ceremony is the most critical of the six pre-wedding rituals, in which the man sends someone to deliver the betrothal gift to the woman's family. After the ceremony is completed, according to etiquette and law, the woman's family has no right to renege on the engagement.

    As for the final invitation date and wedding ceremony, the man determines the wedding date, and then goes to welcome the bride in person according to the selected day. There are many rituals involved.

    Of course, etiquette and law belong to etiquette and law. In such a troubled world, if everything is done according to etiquette and law, I am afraid that nothing can be done.

    The so-called six pre-marriage rites, except for the one to accept the levy, which Liu Feng formally sent Chen Zhen to perform, the other five rites can only be done crudely and perfunctorily according to the actual situation.

    However, in Liu Ba¡¯s view, the pre-wedding ceremony was out of helplessness, so they could spare no effort, and the wedding must be carried out perfectly according to the etiquette.

    Under the witness of all the guests, the newlyweds also performed three bows, and then, before sitting down at the table, they also performed the washing ceremony, that is, washing their hands and face with water and washing away the dust before taking their seats.

    This seat is also quite particular. It is not like the usual one-person seat, but sits opposite each other, with men in the west and women in the east, which means the intersection of yin and yang.

    After the banquet ceremony, there are the Tonglao ceremony and the Henuo ceremony.  Being in the same prison means that the husband and wife eat the meat of the same animal together. As for the marriage ceremony, the husband and wife exchange cups and drink together.

    Liu Feng previously thought that this ceremony was the cup of wine for later generations, but in fact it was not the case.

      The original meaning of He Ni is to break the melon into two, and combine them to form one vessel.  That is to say, cut a gourd into two and hold wine separately. This gourd is bitter, and the wine it contains must also be bitter. It means that the bride and groom become one and share the joys and sorrows.  When drinking together, pour the combined wine into cups respectively. The couple exchange their cups and drink together.

    Liu Feng was most troubled by red tape in his life, and Sun Shangxiang was injured. Even the slightest movement would cause pain in the wound. However, the two could only endure and persevere. Under the watchful eyes of all the guests, they patiently completed this series.  ceremony.

    Finally, until the marriage ceremony is over, the bride and groom enter the new house together and have to perform the bed ceremony, while the guests outside have a banquet and eat.

    In the bridal chamber, under the service of the maid, the two of them took off their heavy dresses. Then the maid smiled and said, "My lord, please lift your lady's hijab, so that the ceremony of joining the bed can be completed."

    Liu Feng had seen Sun Shangxiang¡¯s face a long time ago, and he even secretly kissed her while she was ¡°sleeping¡±.  Despite this, in front of all the maids, Liu Feng had to show his expectancy and carefully lifted the red hijab.

    The moment he lifted his hijab, Liu Feng's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

    Under the candlelight, even though she was troubled by her illness, her face was still stunningly beautiful, like a lily blooming proudly in the darkness.

    The maids held the candles wisely and retreated, and the bridal chamber suddenly became dark.

    The moonlight penetrated through the cracks in the window and shone on Sun Shangxiang's ice-like skin, which was as transparent and flawless as it was, adding to her thrilling beauty.

    Such an unworldly woman, as his wife, was sitting quietly in front of him with her eyebrows lowered. In a daze, Liu Feng had an unreal illusion.

    "Have you seen enough?" Sun Shangxiang stared deeply, with a hint of shyness.

    Liu Feng's mind was separated from her dreamlike beauty, a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly, without her preparation, he picked her up.

    "What do you want to do?"

    Sun Shangxiang was startled, like an indifferent little girl. This question made Liu Feng almost laugh out loud.

    "A moment is worth a thousand pieces of gold, madam, what do you think I want to do?" Liu Feng smiled evilly, hugged her and walked towards the bed.
