three kings

Chapter 134 The concubine intends to marry her
In the third year of Chuping, Renshen, April [-], [-] AD, it is appropriate to marry.

On this day, the day when Sun Can, the lord of Huainan, got married finally came. Shouchun rejoiced and Huainan celebrated together.

Sun Can was called up early in the morning, and at the same time fell into a state of desperation.

"My lord, you must wear this kind of wedding dress, otherwise people will laugh at you." Xun Yu took Sun Can and forced him to wear an extremely complicated groom's dress.

"I can't do it without wearing it! It's too troublesome! Is there any way to see people with so many things on?" Sun Can quarreled awkwardly like a child.

Li Meng rushed in hurriedly, "What are you still dawdling about? The guests are almost here." After taking a closer look, he found that Sun Can was not even wearing any clothes, and said anxiously: "Chan'er, you are still in a daze." What are you doing? Put it on!"

Guo Jia made a small report from the side, saying: "Mrs. Sun, my lord doesn't want to wear such a cumbersome wedding dress."

"Okay, don't play your temper. Put it on quickly, and you have to go to worship your ancestors! You married the princess of the big man. If something goes wrong, the face of the big man will be lost. If you let your father know that you have lost all If you hurt the face of a big man, then no one can help you, you know your father's temper!" Li Meng advised and threatened, and brought the clothes in front of Sun Can.

"It's really troublesome." Although he said so, he still resigned to his fate and put it on.

The groom's clothes in the Han Dynasty were very complicated.

Sun Can put on the Jue Bian, a black top and a black (red and yellow) bottom skirt, Xuanduan clothes, white silk single clothes, bare feet (I don’t know why, anyway, according to the data, the bridegroom in the Han Dynasty was naked. Feet), wearing green jade, but also tied with a sword, etc., almost all armed.

First, he followed Sun Zhe to pay respects to his ancestors, and then he waited for the auspicious time to carry the sedan chair to pick him up.

It was getting late, and Sun Can went to the lobby to pick up the guests in a wedding dress.

"Is that Sun Can? Younger than expected!"

"I thought Sun Can was a figure with three heads and six arms, but it turns out that he is no different from us, with one head, two hands and two legs."

"Master Sun is really happy to be able to marry such a noble and gentle beauty as Princess and Diao Chan."

As soon as he arrived in the hall, Sun Can's ears were filled with such whispered discussions.

Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Gu Yong and other civil servants and generals came forward to congratulate.

Sun Can thanked them with a smile, and returned the salutes one by one.

Zhang Fei said in a loud voice: "My lord, Lao Zhang is so happy, I must drink it to my heart's content later. This Fen wine is really wonderful, wonderful."

"Haha" Sun Can laughed loudly: "Old Zhang can also say polite words, it is worth congratulating, just for these four words, today's wine here, let you drink to your heart's content."

"General Yingyang Xu Huang is here." The servant outside the door shouted at the top of his voice.

"Gongming is here." Sun Can hurried up to meet him, just as Xu Huang was about to bow down.Sun Can helped him up first, and said: "My hero is finally here, so don't worry about it." He looked at Xu Huang for a while, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you in nearly a year. Gongming is getting more and more imposing, like a general." , you can see everything at a glance!"

Xu Huang said respectfully: "It's all due to the important use of the lord, otherwise Huang'an would have changed today." After half a year of independence, Xu Huang is now more mature and stable.

At this time, Zhang Liao also came from Wan County. After seeing the ceremony, he continued to congratulate him.

Sun Can smiled and said, "Wen Yuan has also become more courteous. We haven't seen each other for half a year, and we are so polite when we meet. It's a disappointment. I'll punish myself with three cups later."

Zhang Liao knew Sun Can's temper, and said with a smile: "My lord is very happy today, let alone three cups, even three hundred cups can still be drunk."

Suddenly there was loud drumming outside.

Sun Can thought it was the arrival of the bride, but unexpectedly, a guard outside came to report, and it turned out that it was Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

More than 100 wind musicians lined up, everyone beat gongs and drums, very lively.

Sun Can went out to greet him. Although Sun Can was the lord of Huainan at the moment, his official position was still the prefect of Wancheng.

As soon as he walked outside the door, he saw a middle-aged man catching up in three steps at a time. Although the coat of this Xuzhou Mu was bright, the shirt inside was already very worn out, and the neckline could still be seen. to patch traces.He is only in his 30s, but his forehead is full of wrinkles left by the years.A long thin face, eyes slightly apart, a pair of big protruding ears, and a small mustache on the chin.On this extremely mediocre face, there is no majesty at all, but there is always a kind smile on it, and there is a bit of compassion in the smile.

He bowed to everyone, "Master Sun is getting married today, and I'm very happy to hear about it. From outside the customs, I have to worship the king's face, and I'm not in time to serve you. I'm so uninvited today, and don't blame me."

Sun Can secretly sighed in his heart, although he didn't care about clothing and food, but he couldn't be as frugal as Liu Bei, so he immediately smiled respectfully: "Master Liu has a heart, and Chan is not in a hurry, how can I blame him. Come, sit inside."

Liu Bei blushed at this time, and said: "Although Xuzhou is rich, Cao Cao slaughtered it unreasonably. The people of Xuzhou are already miserable, and Bei will distribute all the money and food left by Tao Laozhou pastures to the people whose families were slaughtered by Cao Cao." , is now penniless, and Xuzhou soldiers still rely on the support of the Mi family. There is no extra money, and they come to congratulate empty-handed, so they can only hire a band of musicians to celebrate for adults."

After listening to Liu Bei's words, everyone felt injustice for Liu Bei, and felt ashamed of Cao Cao's massacre of Xuzhou.Liu Bei, who loves the people and is frugal, has a certain affection.Among them, Zhao Yun, who is benevolent and righteous, and Xu Huang, who is patriotic, are the most outstanding.

Sun Can understood Liu Bei's implication. His purpose was to arouse his resentment towards Cao Cao. When Cao Cao was free to attack him in the future, he could send troops to rescue him.

Sun Can didn't give a clear answer, but said: "Etiquette is light and affection is heavy. As long as you have the heart, even if you are empty-handed, Can will welcome you!"

Liu Bei glanced back and called out, "Second Brother, follow me in."

A big red-faced man came quickly, his walking speed was no less than that of running.When he came to Liu Bei's side, he respectfully saluted Liu Bei, as if Liu Bei was the only one around, and said, "Brother?"

Liu Bei said with a smile: "I've met the loyal and courageous Mr. Sun soon."

The red-faced Guan Yu just frowned, nodded slightly to Sun Can, and said, "Guan Yu has met the prefect." The short sentence was regarded as a greeting, and it gave the impression that Sun Can came out to greet him generally.

Sun Can smiled disdainfully, and didn't care about Guan Yu, such an aloof and rebellious person would die under his arrogance one day, so why bother with him.

Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun's and others at the side were slightly angry.Sun Can is like a god in their hearts, what kind of character are you Guan Yu.Unheard of, but also so arrogant.

Liu Bei was very anxious, because there were so many capable and righteous men under Sun Can's command. Apart from making friends with Sun Can, he came to Shouchun this time for another purpose, which was to imitate Liu Bang and win over Xiang Yu's men.Come to win over capable people and righteous men under Sun Can's command, find some capable people who can share the same goals, and switch to his command.

Now, Guan Yu made such a fuss and immediately offended all the soldiers under Sun Can's command.In this way, how can he recruit?

Liu Bei immediately changed the subject, and said kindly: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Sun's generals are like clouds, and counselors are like rain. I wonder if I can introduce it to you."

Sun Can introduced the people around him to Liu Bei. When he introduced Zhao Yun, Liu Bei said happily, "So, you are General Zhao." It's been a long time since the battle of Hulao without dignity. Today, I finally got my wish. I was ecstatic to see a young hero like the general, but I thought that the general was so promising at such a young age. It's a shame to be so old, but to accomplish nothing, only to watch the big man crumble."

Zhao Yun was moved by his sincerity, but at the same time, he was quite baffled. He thought to himself: "I am just a general under the lord's command. Why are you telling me these things? If you want to restore the Han Dynasty, go tell my lord!" Loyalty is all in Sun Can, and he never thought about leaving these two words at all, so naturally he didn't see Liu Bei's true meaning.He had no choice but to say: "Mr. Xuande's words are serious, and Yun is just doing his best for the Lord."

There was a sudden sound of a gong, and someone shouted loudly outside the door: "The sedan chair is here, the sedan chair is here, isn't the bridegroom official coming out to pick up the bride?"

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Ha, the bride is here, the business is important, so there is no need for Master Sun to delay."

Sun Can said goodbye with a smile and left. Guo Jia, who had been silent all this time, caught up with Sun Can and whispered: "Liu Beishi's virtuous man is not something in the pool. The previous wooing was obviously intentional. My lord is not Are you worried?"

Sun Can shook his head and said, "With just a few words, the person who betrays the master, what good does Can want? If he can be persuaded, let him go. Recruiting talents and good people is a normal act. Besides, the generals will not abandon me, so why bother?" To calculate."

Guo Jia nodded, convinced of Sun Can's ability, at least he never felt any dissatisfaction, and continued: "According to Wen Yuan just now, Guan Yu's martial arts may not be inferior to Zilong and Yide. "

Sun Can smiled lightly and said, "So what? I dare not use this person, so why bother working hard on him."

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then realized, and said: "It's true, this talent is rare in our army, but his weakness is fatal. If you don't use it, you will lose your talent. If you take it seriously, the arrogant Personality, once used by the enemy, there will be unforeseen and dire consequences.”

Weddings in the Han Dynasty mostly followed the Zhou system, and the bride wore a black silk dress.Wear "ci" (a kind of braided wig, which is combed with your own hair when you wear it), and "纚" (fabric for binding hair. Two feet two feet wide and six feet long) to bind the hair, and insert one foot Two long hairpins.With a green ribbon, Peiyu.Use "white makeup", Qingdai eyebrows, red lips.

The two well-dressed brides are all gorgeous and rosy.When they stepped out of the bridal sedan chair, they heard exclamations from all around, and everyone took a breath.

The two beauties who were originally stunning, after careful embellishment, are even more like angels descending from the mortal world, glamorous and incomparable.

The entire wedding process included washing rituals, wine offerings, hair knotting, tassel knotting and other procedures. Sun Can let Xun Yu push him to complete each complicated ceremony.

Then, there is the celebration of the crowd.

All the civil servants and generals under Sun Can's command seemed to be trying to make things difficult for him, and they kept finding various excuses to toast him, as if they would not give up until they got him drunk.

Especially Zhang Fei appeared the most.

Finally, the consciousness gradually faded, and I didn't remember anything.

Vaguely, he felt that someone undressed him, and someone tied a towel for him.In a daze, Sun Can grabbed one casually and asked, "Is it Yan'er or Chan'er."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he heard a chuckle beside him, it was Diao Chan.

Sun Can said confusedly: "It turned out to be Yan'er, that dead old Zhang, who made me unable to recognize my wife. I want him to look good tomorrow."

Originally, Cai Yan, who was shy and afraid to speak, couldn't help but angrily said: "Look at yourself, if you can't drink it, don't drink it. What can you do? Even your wife can't tell the difference, so you have the nerve to say it."

"Hehe" Sun Can said with a silly smile: "It's worth getting drunk. I think back in Wancheng, the few of us drank as much as we wanted, and we could mingle at any time. However, since they worshiped me as their master, This is a rare scene. Drinking and laughing at the wedding, talking and doing without restraint, is a good time to recall the feelings of cherishing the sun. If you really want to stop drinking, just close your eyes and pretend to be drunk. Why drink soberly."

As soon as these words were said, everyone outside the house was silent. Originally, they were discussing to start a new house together, but they didn't expect to hear such a thing.

Each looked at each other, saw the water in each other's eyes, and left one after another.

(Note: Textual research in the book "Han Dynasty Wedding and Funeral Customs": "The guests who are guests often drink and laugh, and their words and deeds are unscrupulous, just like those who make a new house in modern times, which already existed in the Han Dynasty." At that time, except Except for the emperor and important ministers, there is no difference in size when they get married. Building a new house was a custom in the Han Dynasty to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters.)
After hearing Sun Can's words, Cai Yan gave him a blank look.Help him lean on the pillow, take the towel and tie him up again.The dazed little hand pressed gently on his forehead.

At this time, Diao Chan also brought a soberer, and fed them spoonful by spoonful.

The wine gradually receded, and Sun Can enjoyed the careful care of the two girls. Suddenly, he felt envious of mandarin ducks but not immortals.Seeing the peerless looks of the two girls, I couldn't help but feel a surge in my heart, remembering a sentence "The most difficult thing to bear is the grace of a beauty.

Holding the little hands of the two daughters respectively, they said, "What can I do, Sun Can? I am favored by two wives..."

Before he could say any more, he felt that two small hands had already covered his mouth, preventing him from continuing.

Sun Can couldn't help but his heart fluttered, he sat up and took the two girls into his arms.

Afterwards, there is spring in every room, but there is no need to elaborate. Once I feel that the spring is short, the warm tent will disperse the soul.

In the ten days that followed, Xun Yu, Gao Shun and others were very diligent, taking care of all matters, big and small, and only discussing with Sun Can for some important matters.

Even the lazy Guo Jia worked very hard.

On the contrary, Sun Can himself has become an idler. However, he is not free as a newlywed. He often spends time with Cai and Diao, singing in harmony, envious of others.

On this day, when Sun Canzheng was admiring the flowers in the mansion with Cai and Diao, he suddenly had to ask Zhen Mi to see him.Sun Can thought that Zhen Mi was looking for Diao Chan, so he let her in directly.Who knows, as soon as Zhen Mi met her face, she said, "Sun Ziyu, I want to marry you."
