In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

"Let's pray together!"

Zhao Yu had a sudden inspiration.

He pulled the red ribbons on both sides taut with both hands.

He stepped back.

Then, they pulled the two newlyweds towards the center.

The three of them bowed down in unison.

However, the unexpected still happened.

Cao Jie bent over, which was the standard.

Sun Shangxiang bent over, her movements swift and decisive, but the range of motion was... too large.

You should know that they all wear crowns on their heads.

The three people's heads collided in the middle.

"Oops, it's hooked!"

Zhao Yu's hat landed on the tassel of Cao Jie's hair ornament.

Sun Shangxiang moved quickly, lowering her head even further. When she stood up, the hair ornament on her head was caught on Zhao Yu's collar again.

The more you want to separate, the more inseparable you become.

"Don't move! Don't move!"

Zhao Yu shouted,

"If you touch your hair again, you'll have to take it off."

Xu Chu, watching from below the stage, grinned from ear to ear.

Lately, he has been most afraid of being called a "tiger idiot," and has been diligently studying the art of elegance. At this moment, a flash of inspiration struck him:

"This is called a 'married couple bound by blood,' meaning that even if bones are broken, the tendons still connect them. The ancients were right!"

Cao Cao and Liu Xie looked at each other and burst into laughter:

"A good omen! The situation is difficult to resolve; very auspicious!"

After a flurry of activity, the three finally managed to separate.

Although it was a bit of a mess.

But this unexpected little episode,

On the contrary, it is more auspicious/meaningful.

The ceremony is over.

According to custom, it's time to exchange tokens.

It's definitely not a ring.

That's too tacky.

Cao Jie first had a maid bring over a tray.

The red cloth was lifted.

A golden light blinded everyone.

It is an abacus made of pure gold.

The abacus beads are round and exquisitely crafted, with the character "财" (wealth) engraved on each bead.

Cao Jie picked up the abacus and fiddled with it near Zhao Yu's ear.

"Crackling and popping."

It was like counting copper coins, or like pounding on Zhao Yu's bones.

"My husband."

"Since we are all family, someone should naturally take care of the household expenses."

This abacus represents my sincerity.

The subtext is: From now on, you will have to hand over your salary card, your slush fund, and all your bonuses.

Zhao Yu took the abacus:

"Madam...you've worked hard."

Next up is Sun Shangxiang.

The red cloth was lifted.

It was a dagger made of fine steel, with a ruby ​​inlaid on its scabbard.

"My husband."

Sun Shangxiang twirled her sword.

"In these chaotic and dangerous times, I am willing to protect my husband. This dagger can cut through iron like mud."

If any villain dares to harm my husband... or if my husband has any ulterior motives outside...

"I will execute her without mercy!"

Zhao Yu took the dagger with both hands, feeling a chill on his neck.

"Madam...you've gone to so much trouble."

The chief accountant on his left, the chief public security officer on his right.

He is the first person in history to achieve this.

"Minister Zhao,"

Liu Xie suppressed a laugh.

"Both ladies have given their gifts, what about your return gift? If you can't come up with something decent, you might not be able to hold onto your position as the 'head of the household'."

Zhao Yu didn't say anything; what's meant to happen will happen.

"I have received your kind intentions."

"Zhengli, present my treasure."

Ding Yi walked up, carrying a sandalwood box.

"The lady gave me gold, and the princess gave me fine iron. Both are hard materials in the world."

"But I believe that in a marriage, excessive rigidity can easily lead to breakage."

Open the wooden box.

Inside the box were two palm-sized square seals.

Under the glow of the red candles, it was even more delicate than the mutton-fat jade that was a tribute to the palace.

"This...this is mutton fat jade?"

Cao Jie, who came from the Prime Minister's family, had a keen eye and immediately recognized that this thing was "priceless".

This piece of jade is probably worth half of Ye City!

Sun Shangxiang was also stunned:

"Such a large piece of jade? And without any impurities? Husband, have you emptied your coffers?"

Zhao Yu smiled slightly, offering no explanation.

He had someone bring him a basin of clean water.

In everyone's eyes,

He picked up one of the "peerless white jade" pieces and threw it into the water with a splash, giving it a shake.

A layer of foam rose to the surface of the water.

Immediately afterwards, the fragrance of plum blossoms wafted over.

It instantly permeated the entire Bronze Sparrow Pavilion.

This fragrance is more alluring than any object.

"this……"

Cao Cao stood up and twitched his nose twice.

"What is this thing? How can it produce fragrance and foam?"

"This item is called 'Soft Fragrant Jade'."

It's actually a soap made from lard, wood ash alkali solution, and flower petal essential oils.

"It looks like jade, but it is actually the softest thing."

"Jie'er, you deal with ledgers and abacuses all day long, so it's inevitable that you'll get tainted by the smell of money."

Use this to wash your hands; it will remove dust and leave only a pleasant fragrance.

"Shangxiang, you spend your days wielding swords and spears, so it's inevitable that you'll get your hands dirty with sweat and blood."

Bathing in this substance can wash away the effects of violence, leaving the skin as white as snow.

Cao Jie held that piece of "soft, fragrant jade" in his hands, his heart melting.

In those days when bathing could only be done with rice water and coarse bath beans,

This kind of "soap," which is beautiful, practical, and fragrant, has a nuclear-level effect on women.

Sun Shangxiang blushed as well.

She sweats a lot when she practices martial arts.

What bothers me most is body odor.

This gift was exactly what she wanted.

"I guess you'll win... I guess you'll win because you're thoughtful."

"This thing is better than swords."

Zhao Yu chuckled inwardly as he observed their expressions.

This is nothing.

Once you've used it up in a few days, you'll be begging me to make you a new one. Then your status in the family will improve, right?

and,

Once this "soft jade" is mass-produced,

That's the number one daily necessity of the Han Dynasty!

The money he could make back would blow Cao Jie's plans out of proportion!

"The ceremony is complete!"

Next up is the banquet.

……

Until it got dark.

The commotion at Tongquetai had just subsided.

The backyard of the Zhao residence,

Zhao Yu stood at the crossroads of the corridor leading to the backyard.

This is a meticulously designed "Y"-shaped intersection.

To the left is "Jie Garden," which was Cao Jie's bridal chamber.

To the right is "Xiangyuan," which is Sun Shangxiang's bridal chamber.

In the middle is a path leading to the study.

The intersection on the left,

Cao Jie's personal maid was carrying a bowl of hangover soup, her eyes filled with resentment.

The voice was soft and sweet, yet it carried a sharp edge.

"Son-in-law, you've finally arrived."

"Miss, the bed is warmed, and the account book is ready. She said she needs to check the receipts of the wedding gifts with you tonight; not a single penny can be missing."

At the intersection on the right, Hongxiu held that familiar sheathed longsword, a half-smile on her face.

"Young master, Madam has already washed herself with the 'Soft Fragrance Jade' you sent and smells wonderful. You should go quickly, don't keep the princess waiting. She has a bad temper, and she might get angry if she waits too long."

Who says a wedding is the happiest event in life?

This day was fraught with danger, like dancing on a knife's edge, more exhausting than fighting ten battles in a row.

"system,"

"This question is way beyond the scope of the curriculum! Is there a strategy guide?"

[Host, based on the current situation, this is a typical "Three-Body Problem".]

The left side has immense gravity, while the right side has overwhelming repulsion. Whichever side you choose, the other side will explode instantly, triggering a "chaotic era."

Recommendation: Combine attraction and repulsion.

Combining them?

"Oh, I understand."

"Xiao Cui, Hong Xiu, come closer and listen!"

"His Majesty's decree of marriage today is not only based on the official imperial edict, but there is also a secret decree!"

This secret edict concerns the fate of the Cao and Sun families for the next hundred years, and the very survival of the Han Dynasty!

"His Majesty has decreed that this secret order must be received in the study by both ladies at the same time!"

Not a single person can be missing! If we're late, you both know what will happen.

Xiao Cui and Hong Xiu were both trusted confidantes.

Upon hearing this, I was immediately intimidated.
