The guests booed and shouted, asking Liu Jing and Deng Yuan to hug in public as a show.
Today was Liu Jing's big day after all. Although he felt a little unhappy, he could only hold his nose and admit it. Amidst the urging, he gently hugged Deng Yuan, who was more delicate than a flower.
When they saw the groom and the bride, they embraced each other as everyone wished. The guests were satisfied and stopped making noises. However, some people were still unsatisfied and continued to make more unreasonable demands.
Liu Jing's face darkened instantly, and he looked at the person who spoke with sharp eyes. This person was a descendant of Zhang Xian's clan, and only a fool like this who takes advantage of others' power would speak so openly.
Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou, Liu Zhu and others suddenly stood up and stared angrily.
Zhang Zhongjing was also present, and he hurriedly grabbed the clan leader to prevent him from causing trouble again.
Liu Jing was too lazy to deal with such an idiot, and led Deng Yuan to toast to the county official Huan Jie, Li Yong and others in turn, and then came to the Du attack case.
Du Xi looked at Liu Jing, who was upright and handsome, and couldn't help but be filled with emotion. He had personally watched Liu Jing grow from a penniless boy to a famous hero in Jingzhou. Du Xi said with a look of relief: "Zhongda
, seeing you get married, I won’t worry about you anymore.”
He had a reason for saying this. He had already taken care of everything during the two months before Liu Jing's wedding. He would lead his family back to the north immediately after attending Liu Jing's wedding.
Liu Jing frowned and said, "Brother, why are you so anxious? It's winter now, so traveling is very inconvenient. Wouldn't it be better to wait until next spring before leaving?"
Du Xi smiled bitterly and said: "In the past, the emperor was trapped in Guanzhong, and the current situation was in chaos. In addition, I offended Liu Jingzhou, so I had no choice but to settle in Changsha. Now the situation is completely different. The emperor has moved the capital to Xu County, and the revival of the country is in sight. I am not ready for a moment.
If I don't want to delay any longer, I wish I could get a pair of wings and fly back to my hometown to serve the country."
Liu Jing nodded and said: "Now there are many people from Yingchuan under Cao Gong's account. With my eldest brother's reputation and talent, I don't have to worry about not being reused."
Since Cao Cao paid an audience with the Emperor and moved his capital to Xuxian County, Yingchuan, in just a few months, Zhong Yao, Xun You, Guo Jia, etc. have joined his army one after another, and many Yingchuan talents have been trapped in the urn.
The fact is indeed as Liu Jing said, Du Xishao is as famous as Zhao Yan, Chen Qun, and Xin Pi, and is a famous scholar in Yingchuan. Therefore, he recently received a letter from Xun Yu, the minister, and ordered him to return to Yingchuan.
, will definitely be reused.
Du Xi looked directly at Liu Jing with a serious expression and said: "Zhongda, you have just got married. If I invite you to go north, you will never agree, so I won't waste my time. I just ask you, if there is an imperial court in the future,
Will you accept my fate?"
"This is the first time he has tested himself?" Liu Jing thought silently in his heart.
"Brother, you should know that it is my wish to revitalize the Han Dynasty and help the world. If the imperial court sends orders, I will respond."
In fact, he just said that if the plan goes well, he will promote Xiaolian as the head of a county next year. If the court recruits him as an official, he can refuse with confidence.
The following year, the North-South War would break out in Jingzhou, which would last for several years. By then, transportation would be cut off, and conquest by the imperial court would be out of the question.
Du Xi didn't know Liu Jing's true inner thoughts, so when he saw Liu Jing's affirmative answer, he couldn't help laughing and said: "When I return to my hometown, I will definitely recommend Zhongda to Cao Gong and Xun Ling as soon as possible."
"Then it's up to you, brother." Liu Jing thanked him with a smile.
Liu Yao's seat was next to Du Xi's, and Liu Jing chatted with Liu Yao for a few more words.
After that, he obviously speeded up and rarely stopped unless he was someone he was particularly familiar with. But even in such a hurry, by the time he finished thanking the guests at home, it was getting dark and the guests began to leave one after another.
But before the matter was over, Liu Jing and Deng Yuan didn't even have time to take a breath, so they hurried out and rushed to the next stop.
It's mid-winter now, and it's cold outside, so we can only entertain guests indoors. The size of Liu Jing's house is at the forefront of the entire clan, but there are too many guests to accommodate, so Liu Jing can only arrange for less important guests. He went to the home of his clan brothers Liu Pan and Liu Zong.
When Liu Jing and Deng Yuan arrived at their home, the banquet was already coming to an end, and most of the guests had dispersed. Most of the people here were just casual acquaintances, and there were even strangers, so there was no need to toast one by one.
"The Peacock Flying Southeast" has the sentence "After dusk, people are still in peace." After dusk, people are still in peace.
Dingding is when people sleep. Liu Jing and Deng Yuan, who have been busy all day, can finally go to the bridal chamber to rest.
The two held hands with each other and walked under the moonlight as they returned to the back courtyard bedroom. Ah Shu, Ah Kuan and other maids immediately set up the stove and brought food and wine for the two of them to keep warm and satisfy their hunger.
The two of them were dressed in fur clothes and didn't feel cold at all, but they were really hungry. The little food they had eaten during the "Heixin" ceremony at dusk was not enough to fill their stomachs.
The two of them drank a lot today, so they didn't drink anymore. They only ate rice, fish, meat and vegetables.
After the meal, the maids fetched two basins of water. The first thing the two of them did was not wash their faces, but took out toothbrushes to clean their teeth in perfect agreement.
After Liu Jing gave Deng Yuan a toothbrush, she brushed her teeth every day after breakfast and dinner, three or four times a day, even more diligently than Liu Jing.
After cleaning their faces and teeth, Liu Jing and Deng Yuan came to the bed, sat opposite each other, and then performed the "unity" ceremony, while the maids under the bed spread beans and rice on the curtains.
This is the ceremony of spreading the tent, which has gradually become popular in recent times. It has the implication of having more children and more blessings. Legend has it that this custom originated from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. There is a book recording: "When Mrs. Li first arrived, the emperor welcomed her into the tent and sat together. After a happy drink, she prepared People in the Palace of Precepts scattered five-colored concentric flowers and fruits in the distance, and the emperor and his wife used their robes to hold them. It is said that the fruit will be abundant and the number of children will be many."
After the ceremony, the maids wisely withdrew, leaving only Liu Jing and Deng Yuan in the dormitory.
As the room fell into a quiet and charming atmosphere, the two of them were deeply enveloped in it. Liu Jing felt that his whole body began to feel hot and his breathing became somewhat rapid involuntarily.
Deng Yuan was even more unbearable. Her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes were like spring water, and her heart was beating so fast that she felt dizzy and almost suffocated.
Liu Jing gradually lost his mind and was about to take action when he heard Deng Yuan on the opposite side say in a voice so small that it was almost imperceptible: "Liu Lang, please go and see if there is anyone under the window."
After Liu Jing heard this, he calmed down, quietly came to the window, and suddenly opened the window. As expected, he found several figures lurking in the corner.
Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou, Liu Liang... these people were all within his expectation, and his younger brother Liu He actually followed them in their mischief.
Seeing that Liu Jing had discovered it, everyone laughed and dispersed.
Liu Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head, returned to the bed, gently put his arms around Deng Yuan's shoulders, and said softly: "Young Master, let's sleep."
"Um."
The two of them went to Wushan together to perform cloud and rain deeds. The wonderful things they did during the trip were beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
