Chapter 217 Zheng Ping welcomes his bride, Tao Qian entertains Cao Song at a banquet

Linzi City.

Zheng Xuan poured a bottle of wine himself and handed it to Zheng Ping.

The wine is clear, as crystal clear as a clear spring, with a prominent sauce aroma, elegant and delicate.

After the harvest in Qingzhou, Liu Bei abolished the prohibition on alcohol and no longer prohibited wine making.

Zheng Ping sent people to brew fine wine in Gaomi County.

Making koji during the Dragon Boat Festival and going to the sand during the Double Ninth Festival.

It is not easy to brew such clear wine using ancient techniques.

When Zheng Ping was young, he collected a large number of wine-making techniques and made improvements.

In order to persuade Zhang Fei not to drink, Zheng Ping made a bet with Zhang Fei.

Now that the wedding is approaching, this beautiful wine naturally comes into being.

"Show me your plan. After drinking this wine, you should go and greet your virtuous wife to inherit the Zheng family's bloodline."

"Encourage and guide her to work respectfully so as to continue the virtues of our forefather."

"Your words and deeds must be consistent!"

Zheng Ping took the wine bottle respectfully, drank it full and said, "Although I may not be qualified, I will never forget my father's admonition!"

During the banquet, the superior drinks wine to the inferior, and the inferior accepts the toast and drinks it all.

Crowning ceremonies and weddings both involve a ceremony.

Farewell to Zheng Xuan, Zheng Ping loaded Zhili into the carriage.

When the groom comes to the bride's house, he must bring a gift, which is given to the bride's parents.

Scholars in the Han Dynasty usually gave a bronze goose to each other. The wild goose meant that the man would treat others with integrity in his future life. This was also the man's promise to the woman's parents.

Linzi City is a hundred miles away from Juxian County.

Zheng Ping himself was riding a black horse, wearing a Xuanduan dress, a pure silk sash, a white silk singlet, a pure colored poncho, and a red poncho.

Behind him were a black painted car, two auxiliary cars, and a women's car with a weft.

The entourage also wore Xuan Duan attire, and some were leading the way carrying torches.

In addition, Liu Bei also specially asked Zhang Fei to escort three hundred soldiers from the Rui Shi camp to accompany him.

Liu Bei originally wanted Zhao Yun to lead the White Robe Camp to protect him.

But Zhang Fei was worried about the crystal clear wine promised by Zheng Ping, and insisted on following Zheng Ping to Ju County.

Liu Bei had no choice but to carefully warn Zhang Fei not to drink alcohol and lose his etiquette, so he asked Zhang Fei to follow Zheng Ping.

He was also worried that Zhang Fei would be confused after drinking, so he asked Tian Yu to follow him.

On the road.

Zhang Fei did not use the reins, he only relied on his legs to control the horse, and his hands carried the eight-foot-long snake spear on his shoulders. His eyes were full of joy.

"Brother, I'm so nervous. Have I ever gotten into trouble by drinking in the past three years?"

Tian Yu on the right said: "Third brother, you have never had a drink in a bar in the past three years except when you were in Fengqiu City?"

Zhang Fei glared at Tian Yu: "Guorang, you are the deputy general who arrived at the camp first, why do you have to follow?"

Tian Yu chuckled: "What's wrong with going to the camp first? Second brother told me that if you, third brother, do something stupid, second brother will urge you to study after you return to Linzi City."

Zhang Fei tilted his head: "Guorang, how about I teach you the sixty-four ways to use the spear later?"

Tian Yu was not fooled: "Third brother, I use a knife, second brother will teach me!"

Zhang Fei was stunned: "Didn't you use a machete before? Why did you switch to a knife?"

Tian Yu smiled and said: "Second brother said that cavalry should look like cavalry, so all the cavalry who entered the camp first used the Yanyue Sword."

Zhang Fei stared at Tian Yu suspiciously: "Then the weapon in your hand is still Ma Shu?"

Tian Yu waved his hand and hit the horse: "Occasionally, I also miss the days of using the horse."

Zhang Fei glared: "Stop talking nonsense to me! We will camp later and practice with me!"

Zheng Ping is riding the horse in the middle, holding the reins gently with his left hand and shaking the feather fan with his right hand.

Seeing Zhang Fei and Tian Yu having fun, he couldn't help but chuckle: "Yide, if you want to drink, you have to wait until I welcome Asu to Linzi."

Zhang Fei was stunned: "Can't you drink it in Jixian County?"

Zheng Ping said: "You can drink, but if you get drunk, you will have to stay in Ju County."

"After all, this Ju County is a hundred miles away from Linzi City. If you delay the auspicious time, I guess you will not be able to drink alcohol for the rest of your life."

Zhang Fei was immediately discouraged: "Then, then, then go back to Linzi City and drink again."

soon.

Zhang Fei reacted again: "Hey, that's not right! Since you can only drink it when you return to Linzi City, then why should I follow you to Juxian County, Mr. Xianmou?"

Tian Yu smiled and said: "Third brother, the commander didn't let you protect him at the beginning. It was you who insisted on taking Zilong's mission."

Zhang Fei was even more discouraged: "You did it on purpose! Are you just bullying me because I don't understand?"

Tian Yu laughed: "Who told you, Third Brother, to sleep with your eyes closed? We also advised you, but you insisted on following us."

Zhang Fei glared again: "Guo Rang, do you want to practice after camping?"

Seeing Zhang Fei and Tian Yu starting to make trouble again, Zheng Ping shook his head and ignored them.

Looking at Jixian County getting closer and closer, Zheng Ping couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Three years have passed in a flash. Time flies so fast!"

Since meeting Kong Su three years ago, Zheng Ping and Kong Su have never seen each other again, although they secretly exchanged letters.

In ancient times, men and women did not meet each other privately before the wedding. After the wedding, they promised each other for life, which shows their self-respect.

Secret correspondence actually goes beyond etiquette.

It's just that Zheng Xuan and Kong Rong both turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

As for your children, it's not a big deal if you occasionally pretend not to notice, as long as you follow some important rules and don't break them.

And in Ju County.

Kong Su is also wearing a black dress.

Compared with Zhou Dynasty weddings, Han Dynasty women’s costumes were more colorful.

The Kong family is from a well-known family, so naturally they are not short of accessories.

I only saw:

The feet are slipping on silk shoes, the tortoise shell is shining on the head. The waist is as smooth as silk, and the bright moon is in the ear.

The fingers are like peeling onion roots, and the mouth is like holding vermilion. The steps are delicate and delicate, and the exquisiteness is unparalleled in the world.

"Asu, when you enter the Zheng family, you must be respectful and do not disobey the orders of your husband's family. Do not lose etiquette and let others criticize the Kong family for not knowing etiquette."

Kong Rong also taught earnestly.

Scholars value reputation most.

Being knowledgeable and courteous is a very high requirement for scholar women: to be educated, sensible, and understand etiquette.

If Kong Su married into the Zheng family and was disrespectful to her husband's family, she would be stabbed in the spine.

Even Kong Rong would be ridiculed for his incompetence in teaching his daughter.

For the weddings of scholars, both the man and the woman will be given admonitions by their elders before the wedding.

Etiquette. Shihun rites have regulations on weddings.

On the wedding day, the man's father marries his son.

At the same time, he warned his son, "Go to welcome your prime minister and take over my family affairs. Commander Xu will show you respect, and you will be the heir of your first heir. If so, things will be normal."

The son replied, "No. I don't dare to forget my life for fear of being embarrassed."

The man's father ordered him to be a handsome man, and he hoped that his son would be handsome and respectful to his wife.

On the wedding day, the woman's father wants to marry his daughter.

The father sent his daughter off and warned her to "respect her and never disobey her orders!"

The mother gave her daughter Jinjie and warned her to "respect her and do nothing against the palace affairs!"

The concubine's mother came to the door, Shi Shao, and told her to take the order of her parents, and warned her to "listen respectfully to the words of your parents. Be careful not to make mistakes at all, and treat them with respect!"

The girl's parents and concubine's mother-in-law all gave her orders with the words of admonishment and respect, hoping that she would respect and uphold the order and not disobey the orders of her husband's family.
