The city is full of Yellow Turbans

Chapter 245, preparing gifts

It turned out that Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, was killed suddenly for some unknown reason. Liu Biao was promoted to the governor of the state by virtue of his clan relationship in the Han Dynasty, which was seven or eight years earlier than in history. However, Emperor Ling died, He Jin died, Yuan Shaoxi Shit, many things have deviated from the original track, so Xu Feng will not think too much about Liu Biao becoming the state shepherd in advance.

For Liu Biao's big wedding, he will naturally be married to the Cai family, which is also the famous Mrs. Cai in history. Now that he has caught up, Xu Feng naturally wants to go and have a look.

"Huh? It's really strange. The city gate is wide open, and there is not even a soldier to interrogate. Liu Biao is really bold, and he is not afraid of attracting thieves."

When he came to the gate of Xiangyang city, he saw that the gate was open, and guests came and went freely, and no one checked him, so Yu Jin was shocked.

"Naturally, you can't be too petty when you get married in a dignified state. Most of the people who come here are well-known local officials and gentry. If they are entangled one by one, I'm afraid Liu Biao won't be able to lose face. As for the fact that there are thieves coming, you will know later. It's gone." Xu Feng caught a glimpse of the cold light flickering in the dark from time to time, and smiled pointedly.

The Cai family is a famous family in Xiangyang, and like the Huang family, Zhuge family, and Kuai family, they are all extremely prestigious Jingzhou wealthy families. Their power and status are deep-rooted, and they are definitely a powerful local snake. If Liu Biao wants to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, it is natural to marry the Cai family best choice.

Xu Feng knew that Cai Mao's aunt was the wife of Taiwei Zhang Wen, Cai Mao's elder sister was married to Huang Chengyan, and her second sister was the well-known Mrs Cai.

"Since no one is checking, I just went into the city to see the excitement."

Dian Wei Yujin saw Xu Feng's expression was natural, with a smile on his brow, the two had no choice but to agree, and followed Xu Feng into Xiangyang City.

The streets are full of people, pedestrians like weaving, people who buy and sell, people who perform tricks, people who play tricks, people who play and sing, all kinds of music, all kinds of things, and Xiangyang is a well-known important town in Jingzhou, so it is naturally much more bustling than other places, " Young master, why don't we go to a restaurant to drink a pot first?" Dian Wei said with a hopeful face while he licked the chapped corner of his mouth and looked at the wine flag fluttering in front of him while covering his stomach.

"Don't talk about you, I'm hungry too, Wen Ze, how about you?"

It didn't mean that Jin could answer, Yu Jin's stomach started to growl.

"I wanted to find an inn or restaurant to eat and drink, today? No need, let's go, let's have a big meal." Looking at the smiling pedestrians on the road with gifts in their hands, Xu Feng said with a cheerful smile.

"Have a big meal, where are you going?"

The two of them looked like two monks, staring at Xu Feng.

"Naturally, it's a wedding banquet. The state shepherd Liu Biao's wedding banquet is naturally of the same grade. Let's give him a gift, which is considered a compliment." Xu Feng said with a smile, drawing an arc at the corner of his mouth.

"That is, the young master is Yingchuan Qushuai who is so powerful in the world, he is also the ninth eldest disciple personally handed down by the former leader, and he is also the new young master of the Taiping Sect. Going to congratulate him is naturally a big compliment to him, hmph, According to me, why don't we just go make a big fuss and ruin his wedding banquet, if we can take the opportunity to kill Liu Biao, wouldn't it be better to let his wedding turn into a funeral?" Dian Wei said without grinning.

"Speak carefully, speak carefully!"

Although Dian Wei's voice was very low, Xu Feng hurriedly told Dian Wei that although there were many pedestrians on the road, there were still many patrolling soldiers holding long halberds and guarding carefully. I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble, how to put it, it's important to fill my stomach first.

"It's not good to go to congratulate him empty-handed, let's go, let's prepare a congratulatory gift for him too." Xu Feng took out a few copper coins from his pocket, and said with a face full of reluctance.

The two were speechless for a while, how can they say that they are also a state shepherd, and ordinary congratulatory gifts are naturally not appreciated, but the young master is good, how much money do you have?With a heartbroken look, what can I buy with this little money?
"Wen Ze, go buy a bucket, and use the rest of the money to buy some ginger."

"Oh."

Although puzzled, Yu Jin took the money and ran out in a hurry. After a while, he ran back with a wooden bucket, and naturally there were a lot of strange-shaped gingers in the bucket.

Ginger appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. Confucius "The Analects of Confucius" has "every food wood removes ginger", and "Lu Shi Chunqiu" also mentioned "the beauty of harmony, the ginger of Yang Pu of Shu County." Therefore, it was not used in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Strange.

Finding a secluded corner, Xu Feng piled a lot of stones and rubble under the wooden barrel, and put ginger on top. Of course, it was not randomly placed, but piled up in an orderly manner according to the mountains, rivers and cities of Jingzhou.

"This is our congratulatory gift to Liu Biao?" Looking at the strangely shaped object, Dian Wei Yu Jin wondered.

"Clap!"

Patting the dust off his hands, Xu Feng smiled and said, "Don't underestimate this thing, I guarantee that Liu Biao will entertain the three of us well for this big meal."

"Only relying on this bucket of broken stones, rotten rubble, and ginger bought for a few cents?" Dian Wei Yujin couldn't believe it after thinking about it. This congratulatory gift is too shabby. The rubble was piled up, and Liu Biao could probably vomit blood in anger.

"Hmph, this is already cheap enough for Liu Biao, if it's not afraid of the smell, I don't mind sprinkling some urine and shit on it.

"..."

Dian Wei immediately petrified Yu Jin on the spot, this lord is too insidious.

Liu Biao was wearing a brocade robe, with a spring face and red flowers on his body. He stood in front of the gate of the famous Huiquan Villa in Xiangyang, with a happy smile, and nodded his thanks to the guests from time to time. He personally greeted the guests at the door, but Liu Biao didn't think so. He had just been promoted to state shepherd, he had no foundation, no prestige, and he was nothing compared to the four big families.

What's more, there are rampant bandits and bandits everywhere in Jingzhou, and there are many hostile forces against Liu Biao. In order to win the hearts of the people as soon as possible and get the support of wealthy families, Liu Biao can only lower his stance.

"Jiang Xia prefect arrives!"

"The governor of Xiangyang County is here!"

"Huang Chengyan, the great Confucian of the time, has arrived!"

"A guest from Kuai's family has arrived!"

Guests gathered at the gate of the villa, and people shouted from time to time. All the people who came were famous and powerful people from all over the world. Of course, there were also many wealthy gentry and rich men, and there were also many young talents... All the people who came came with serious courtesy and smiles on their faces. , a state shepherd, no matter how you say, is also a local prince with great power, so naturally many people came to flatter and flatter him.

Liu Fu, who was in charge of counting and collecting gifts, shouted loudly while counting the gifts from the guests.

"A box of coral beads and a box of agate, the prefect of Nanjun."

"A night watch pearl in Jiangling County..."

"Zhang Yuanwai, a box of purple coral and a jadeite horse..."

……

"Congratulations, Mr. State Shepherd."

"Master Zhou is in his prime in Spring and Autumn, and double happiness is coming to his door. It's gratifying to congratulate."

"Master State Shepherd is among dragons and phoenixes, which is enviable."
