1. Acceptance, the man takes the wild goose as a gift and goes to the woman’s house to propose marriage;
Second, when asking for the name, the man then prepares a goose to ask the woman for her name;
3. Naji, the man takes the girl’s name back and goes to the ancestral temple for divination. If he gets a good omen from the divination, he prepares a goose to sue the girl’s family.
Fourth, after accepting the levy, the man sends a betrothal gift to formally confirm the marriage relationship;
5. Ask for a date. The man finds an auspicious date and sends it to the woman’s family to ask for permission for the wedding date;
6. Welcoming in person. On the wedding day, the man takes a car to the woman’s house to marry her.
The first and second can be omitted because the Cai family has already agreed to the marriage between Yuan Shu and Cai Wenji, so he sent people to Runan to actually go to the Yuan family's ancestral temple, because only the divination in the ancestral temple is in compliance with the rules.
.
I ignored Yuan Ji's affairs. Yuan Shu was now fighting everywhere and I was alone. I just teased Linglong every day, walked around Jiangzuo camp, looked at the potato base, and occasionally asked Cai Yong for advice. I was having a great time.
Half a month passed in a flash, and the people Yuan Ji sent to Runan quickly came back.
"Okay, okay, the hexagram of great auspiciousness, the hexagram of great auspiciousness, reward."
It is self-evident that Yuan Ji was happy when he took the fortune teller brought by Kuai Ma.
"Thank you, sir."
"Come here, prepare the betrothal gift. I'm going to the Cai Mansion to get engaged."
"promise."
On the same day, Yuan Ji played gongs and drums and brought many gold and silver gifts to Cai's house to formally confirm the marriage of Yuan and Cai's family, and also set a date for the wedding.
Yuan Shu came to Yuan Mansion in the evening and looked at Yuan Ji, who was full of excitement, and suddenly shuddered for some reason.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? You're so excited."
"Little brother, in one month, you will be the groom in one month."
Hearing Yuan Ji's words, Yuan Shu couldn't help but be stunned. One month, so fast? Wasn't it very complicated for people in ancient times to get married?
"There is no way. One month is already the shortest time, because we still have to spare time to inform the four directions. The princes and state pastors from all over the country have to be notified. I don't know if they will come. But if we don't inform, others will say that we are not polite.
Not thoughtful."
Yuan Ji couldn't help but show an embarrassed smile. He thought Yuan Shu couldn't wait to become the groom's official.
"It's okay, everything is just up to brother's arrangement, just one month."
Yuan Shu couldn't help but nodded.
Since I left it to Yuan Ji, there is nothing much to say.
"Well, since you agree, I will arrange for the post horse to spread the good news at a speed of eight hundred miles."
"Well, big brother, just take care of it."
"Okay, go and do your work quickly."
Now Yuan Ji felt that he was full of energy, so he kicked Yuan Shu out directly, then started to write a post, and sent a post horse to spread the news to the thirteen states of Han Dynasty as quickly as possible.
"My lord, congratulations."
"Congratulations, lord."
"My lord is finally getting married."
The news that Yuan Shu was getting married spread immediately in Xindu City. Xun You, Tian Feng, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and other civil and military officials gathered at the Prefecture Mufu to congratulate Yuan Shu. Not only this, Xun Chen from Youzhou was far away in Pingyuan County.
Jushu also sent a telegram of congratulations and said that he would definitely be there at the wedding.
After Xindu, the news spread to all directions, including Changshan, Zhongshan, Julu, and Qinghe, followed by the entire county of Jizhou, and then Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou around Jizhou.
"Wen Ruo, Yuan Shu is getting married soon, what should we do?"
When Cao Cao received the news of Yuan Shu's wedding, he immediately called Xun Yu over for discussion.
"Lord, what do you think?"
Xun Yu smiled slightly and looked at Cao Cao who asked him what he was asking.
"Of course I should go to his wedding."
Cao Cao also looked at Xun Yu with a smile.
"My lord, now that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban has moved eastward to Yanzhou, something may happen in Yanzhou at any time. Are you going to attend Yuan Jiujiu's wedding? Is that really ok?"
Xun Yu picked up the wine on the table and took a sip.
“Good wine.”
"No matter how big things are in Yanzhou, I will still attend Yuan Shu's wedding."
Cao Cao also picked up the wine and drank half of it in one gulp.
"Haha, my lord may have ulterior motives for going to Jizhou."
Xun Yu still had the same smile on his face.
"Oh? What is my intention?"
Cao Cao also looked at Xun Yu with a smile.
"My lord, I'm afraid he did this for one person."
Xun Yu drank another sip of wine.
"who?"
"Yang Ping Liu Bei."
Xun Yu answered Cao Cao's question decisively.
"Oh, is it so?"
Cao Cao also drank a full cup of wine.
"In the past, Liu Bei only had two tiger generals, Zhang and Zhang, which was not a concern, but now that he has Cheng Yu as his assistant, he is even more powerful. Guan Yu moved many people from Dongjun some time ago to expand his troops and prepare for war. His strength cannot be underestimated.
Liu Bei was ambitious and did not want to succumb to Yuan Shu, so he always coveted Yanzhou.
If there is a change in Yanzhou, Liu Bei will definitely take advantage of the situation and attack Yanzhou from the south. Therefore, Liu Bei is our biggest enemy in capturing Yanzhou. The Lord's visit to Xindu this time is to completely paralyze him.
And the most important point is that Liu Bei's two sworn brothers are both generals who can be defeated by thousands of people.
In the whole of Yangping, the only one who can suppress them is Liu Bei. Once he leaves, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde to suppress them. Incompatibility between generals and generals can be very fatal."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Cao Cao drank a lot of Juezhong wine again, with a happy smile on his face.
"Lord, what are you laughing at?"
Xun Yu looked at the laughing Cao Cao and felt puzzled.
"Of course I have to laugh. A close person like De Wen Ruo shouldn't laugh. That's right, I went to the wedding for Liu Bei, Liu Xuande and his two sworn brothers."
Cao Cao spoke what was in his heart.
"Then how many troops will my lord bring with him on this trip?"
Now that Cao Cao has admitted it, Xun Yu will allocate the next resources.
"Five hundred guards will do, and then I will hand over my military talisman to you. After I leave, all the civil servants, military generals, soldiers and horses, and baggage in Dongjun will be under your command.
If there is a change in Yanzhou, don't hesitate. Take Dongping Kingdom as soon as possible and block Liu Bei's way south. Even if you spend everything, you can't let him pass. At the same time, I will contact Bao Xin and ask him to help us defend against the enemy.
Remember, only by blocking Liu Bei can Yanzhou be completely controlled by us, do you understand?"
Cao Cao grabbed Xun Yu with great force. Yanzhou was his designated place and there was no room for failure.
"My lord, don't only care about Liu Bei and forget about one person."
Although Cao Cao said this, Xun Yu still had other concerns.
"You mean Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang?"
Cao Cao also knew Xun Yu's concerns.
"Well, that's right, it's Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang."
Xun Yu nodded. Yuan Yi, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are all descendants of the Yuan family. If there is a change in Yanzhou, he will definitely surrender to them immediately. If Yuan Yi is the leader to respond to Yuan Shu or Yuan Shao's attack from the south or north,
I'm afraid I won't be able to resist it.
"It doesn't matter, Yuan Jiu is now fighting on all sides. The battle of Youzhou has not yet ended. At the same time, he has deployed troops in Pingyuan County. He has made it clear that he wants to take Qingzhou. It will be difficult to take Yanzhou again.
Moreover, it is enough for Yanzhou to have us and Liu Bei now. If he intervenes again and creates a three-legged alliance, the gains may outweigh the losses, so there is no need to worry about him. As for Yuan Benchu? Lord, do you think he will come?"
