My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 89 Newlywed
"After this wedding, I will lead the team to go out to trade. Second brother, Jiuyuan hometown is entrusted to you."

In the countryside of Jiuyuan, Lu Yi gave Lu Bu an earnest exhortation.

"Don't worry, brother. I'm at home!" Lu Bu replied firmly.

"In that case, I will feel relieved." Lu Yi nodded with satisfaction.

"Alas, I just can't drink at big brother's wedding..." Lu Bu hesitated.

"Haha, it's okay. If Fengxian really wants to drink at my wedding, I'll let you drink once every year in the future!" After Lu Yi glanced at Zhang Jia in the distance, he teased to Lu Bu in a low voice.

"Hahahaha... Brother, you're joking." Of course Lu Bu knew that Lu Yi was joking and trying to comfort him, so his mood immediately recovered.

"Who is kidding you?" Lu Yi was stunned when he heard that.

"Uh..." Lu Bu was also stunned.

"Hahaha..." Lu Yi punched Lu Bu hard on the chest, rode away with a big laugh, leaving Lu Bu standing there with a confused look on his face, wondering whether his brother was joking with him or not.

……

After bidding farewell to Jiuyuan, Lu Yi, with two hundred men and Zhen Yi and others, arrived at Zhang's family in Mayi the next day.

Mayi is not a big city, and its creation... ahem, so the news of Zhang's daughter's marriage has long been known to everyone.

Before Lu Yi and others arrived at Zhang's Fortress, they had already felt the warm atmosphere.

When they arrived at Zhang's Fort, they were overwhelmed by the festive atmosphere.

"My dear son-in-law, you are finally here!" Zhang Shang, Zhang Xun, Zhang Liao and others went out of the fort to warmly welcome Lu Yi.

"How dare I ask my father-in-law to come and welcome me in person? I am late, please don't blame me!" Upon seeing this, Lu Yi immediately dismounted and bowed. No matter what happened between Zhang and Lu Yi in the past, they would become relatives in the future, and they would share the joys and sorrows, honors and disgraces, so they should be more enthusiastic.

"My brother-in-law is so happy to have you here. Now I can explain to my sister." Zhang Xun smiled and bowed to Lu Yi.

"I wanted to set off early, but there were too many trivial matters in Jiuyuan, so I was delayed for a few days." Lu Yi also returned the salute with a smile.

"Brother-in-law!" Zhang Liao's face was the most excited. Apart from Wei Qing and Huo Qubing who were famous in history, the one he admired most now was his brother-in-law who had risen rapidly in a short period of time. He had secretly rehearsed the battle in the nameless valley several times and felt that Lu Yi's arrangement was worthy of the work of a famous general.

"Be good!" Lu Yi smiled and took out a red envelope that he had prepared in advance from his arms and handed it to Zhang Liao, with a happy smile on his face.

"Haha, the young unicorn has fallen into my trap!"

"Who is this..." Zhang Shang asked in confusion, looking at Zhen Yi, who was standing beside Lu Yi with an extraordinary appearance and unconventional temperament.

"I'm Zhen Yi, the young patriarch of the Zhen family in Zhongshan. I heard about Brother Lu's wedding, so I came here specially to congratulate him." Zhen Yi bowed slightly, with a hint of pride in his politeness.

Unlike Lu Yi, who was favored by his father and son, Zhang had been hiding in Mayi for many years and had never made any fortune. The current prosperity of his industry was thanks to Lu Yi, so he was not highly regarded by him. He left the prosperous Zhongshan and came to this desolate border fortress, all for Lu Yi's sake.

"Oh my! It turns out that the distinguished guest is from the Zhen family of Zhongshan. This really brings honor to our humble Zhang family!" After Zhang Shang heard about Zhen Yi's identity, his old face shook with laughter. He was overjoyed and quickly led everyone into the Zhang family's fortress with great fanfare.

Compared with the wealthy Zhongshan Zhen family, the Zhang family of Mayi is simply not worth mentioning. Now the Zhen family actually sent the young patriarch to come and congratulate him. How could Zhang Shang not be excited?
"Today we will hold a banquet to welcome my dear son-in-law. All preparations for the wedding have been made. We will wait until tomorrow to make my son-in-law proud!" Zhang Shang, who had always been stingy, suddenly became generous today, which made Lu Yi, who was following behind him, look at him sideways.

"My father-in-law has given his order, and I will obey your orders!"

……

The etiquette of the Han Dynasty was far more complicated than that of Lu Yi's previous life.

Zhang Shang and Lu Yi said that they would conduct the ceremony in accordance with the etiquette of common people, but they still went a little beyond the rules and conducted it in accordance with the standards of scholar-officials.

This kind of crossing the line has become an unwritten rule, and even if the government knows about it, they generally won't step in to stop it.

After all, marriage is a lifelong event, and it would be bad if it was too strict and provoked a civil uprising. Therefore, from the second day on, Lu Yi completely turned into a puppet.

Controlled by Zhang Shang and the master of ceremonies hired specifically for this wedding, Lu Yi could only do whatever they said with a little confusion.

It is true that he majored in ancient Chinese, but he has never learned any etiquette related to marriage.

After a whole set of cumbersome etiquette from morning to night, the banquet began in the evening. Just as Lu Yi had a chance to catch his breath, he received a toast from Cheng Lian, Zhang Xun, Zhen Yi and others.

"Brother, today is your big day, you must drink this cup to the full!"

"You and I have been brothers for many years, no need to say more, drink!"

"Brother-in-law, Wan'er is my only sister. I am handing her over to you today. Don't bully her in the future..."

"Don't worry, uncle. I will never let Wan'er suffer any injustice in the future. Drink!"

"Haha, Brother Lu, I wish you and your wife a long and happy life together!"

"Brother Zhen is still very elegant. I will accept your good words! Please!"

……

Lu Yi's younger brothers and Zhang's young successors took turns to toast Lu Yi.

When Lu Yiren was happy, he was in high spirits. He could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and the more he drank, the more energetic he became.

Even Gao Shun, who never liked drinking, took off the poker face he wore every day, smiled happily and raised his glass to congratulate.

The newly joined guys and the driver and stewards of Lu Yi's caravan also plucked up the courage to toast Lu Yi.

Lu Yi was not at all arrogant. No matter who he met, he treated them with courtesy and drank until the glass was dry.

This made these relatively lower-class people feel very proud, and their faces turned red with excitement.

Only Hao Meng was sitting alone in the corner, with a gloomy face, drinking cup after cup.

The goddess in his dreams is going to become someone else's beautiful wife tonight. Even if this person is his elder brother, he still can't get rid of the depression in his heart.

Just when everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and the atmosphere was at its most heated, the climax of the entire wedding finally arrived - the wedding ceremony.

"A worship of heaven and earth..."

Lu Yi glanced at the bride covered by a bright red veil, her face full of a joyful smile.

"Second worship high hall..."

Since Lu's father died early, Zhang Shang sat alone on the high seat and accepted the greetings of the two newlyweds with a smile.

"Husband and wife pay homage..."

Zhang Wan'er, whose face was covered by a veil, couldn't help but tremble at the words. She secretly glanced at her lover, who was reflected in red, through the not-so-tight veil.

"You're still so handsome even through the veil, woooooo... I'm so happy..."

"The ceremony is over!"

"The auspicious time has arrived, send her to the bridal chamber!"
