Although the bride and groom were not allowed to meet each other, after Chen Mu visited Qin Feng, according to etiquette, everyone had to enjoy the banquet.
Therefore, the Qin clan, the servants at home, the gift-giving team of more than a thousand brought by Chen Mu, and the people from nearby villages, totaling three to four thousand people, held a banquet in the large open space outside the manor, and everyone took their seats.
Taking advantage of this chaotic moment, Chen Mu asked his brother-in-law Qin Qi to take him to find Qin Luofu. The reason was to see the location of Qin Luofu's yard so that he could pick him up tomorrow.
In fact, it was Chen Mu who missed Luo Fu. He originally promised to get married last spring, but postponed it for nearly two years. He really felt guilty, so he wanted to take a look from a distance, but happened to see her climbing the rockery at the door, so he asked Qin
Qi led the female teacher at the door and sneaked in.
Chen Mu is 1.78 meters tall. After many years of practicing Wu Qin Xi, his body has become much stronger. Luo Fu is not short, actually 1.7 meters tall, but his body is slender, light and slender, and it is not difficult to hold it firmly in his hand.
It feels heavy.
The scent of virginity that hit his nostrils was intoxicating. The young man was no longer the helpless boy he was before. His strong arms tightly hugged the woman and looked at her with a smile.
Qin Luofu only felt that Xiafei's cheeks were almost embarrassed in front of his beloved. His face was slightly red and he looked really cute.
"What are you...Oh, little lady, how did you climb up there?"
The old nun outside the hospital saw the scene here from a distance and was so angry that she almost didn't carry her back because her wife was actually in someone else's arms. Fortunately, Qin Qi reacted quickly and explained to her that he was her new son-in-law.
He vomited out blood and just looked at Luofu's appearance. He rushed over and shouted: "Sister-in-law, it's disrespectful. It's disrespectful."
Chen Mu didn't want to embarrass the old woman, so he gently put Luo Fu down, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I passed by here just now. I just wanted to take a look outside the hospital, but I didn't expect Luo Fu to climb up the rockery, for fear that she would fall and come in without permission.
, but it frightened the neighbors."
The old mother-in-law was just a servant of the Qin family. Seeing her husband-in-law being so polite, she lost most of her anger. Besides, she also knew that her husband-in-law had a noble status and could not afford to offend her, so she waved her hands and said, "This is a small matter, but etiquette cannot be discarded..."
..."
The implication is to drive him away.
Chen Mu smiled, gently caressed Luo Fu's cute little head, and passed his white palms through her soft hair. He looked at her with affectionate eyes and said softly: "I'll leave first. Wait for me in the room.
At dusk tomorrow, I will come to marry you."
"good."
Luo Fu responded obediently, stopped where he was, and looked at Chen Mu intently.
Chen Mu smiled again, then turned and left.
Until his back left the small courtyard where Luo Fu lived and disappeared outside the courtyard, he kept watching.
"Madam, my husband-in-law has gone far away."
A Cui was very strange, her eyes rolled around, she covered her mouth and teased: "Why are you still looking at me, maybe you are reminiscing about the smell of my husband?"
Qin Luofu was angry and funny. When he came up, he hugged A Cui and tickled her. While playing with her, he said viciously: "Okay, little A Cui. From now on, you follow me into my husband's house and become the maid of the Chen family. I am
Mistress of the house, if I don’t repair you properly.”
A Cui was tickled all over her body, giggling and running, begging for mercy: "Madam, A Cui is wrong, please let me go."
The master and servant are still fighting here.
Over there, Chen Mu sat at a table with close relatives of the Qin family, including Cai, Cai Yang, and Qin Luofu's uncles. These people were Qin Luofu's closest relatives.
The average life span in ancient times was relatively low, and there were relatively few elderly people who could live to be sixty or seventy years old. After the age of forty, the body's immunity will deteriorate, and a slight illness may be fatal. Therefore, Qin Luofu's grandparents and two elders
He has been dead for many years and has only a few uncles.
Everyone took turns to drink. Fortunately, Chen Mu had a higher status and others did not dare to let him drink the whole glass. They only had a small taste. After the luncheon, Cai and several uncles sent Chen Mu to represent Qin Feng, the head of the family.
Outside a nearby photo booth.
Of course, Qin Feng had to pretend to be sick to the end, otherwise his son-in-law would come over and see that he was cured. Even a fool could tell that he was pretending. If he waited until his daughter got married tomorrow, he would be able to show off his face at least.
When it was time for the evening dinner in the afternoon, Chen Mu had to continue drinking and feasting with him.
Zhang Liaotian, Feng Gaoshun, Huang Zhong, many civil and military officials in Qingzhou, and the group of masters from Taishan Academy have come over. Chen Mu must take care of everyone's emotions, down to the smallest detail, including Xu and Sima Ju, who are in charge of Zhang Rao.
The surrendered generals also kept me company.
Because they could only stay for one day, after attending the banquet, they returned to Pingyuan Country without stopping and continued to garrison the border between Jizhou and Qingzhou.
This was planned to be stationed in turns. After all, the third day was the most important wedding day. Zhang Fei and Jushu had known Chen Mu for many years, so naturally they couldn't miss his wedding scene, but the border couldn't be left unguarded, so we adopted this situation.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Mu also happened to get to know people like Cai Yong and Kong Rong. Kong Rong actually met him once when his master Yang Ci passed away, but they were not very familiar with them. Today, they met officially.
Kong Rong is forty years old this year, and he is drinking depressedly. He was brought to Qingzhou by Dong Zhuo, but Liu Bei, the pastor of Qingzhou, withdrew his Beihai minister, leaving him to stay in Taishan Academy and meet his old friend Cai Yong.
It was really hard for him to comment on current affairs all day long but not be able to participate.
Among the crowds at the banquet, Chen Mu walked over and said with a smile: "Mr. Wen Ju."
"Doctor Guanglu."
Kong Rong reluctantly cheered up. Today was his big day, so there was no need to be so pretentious.
"Why is Mr. Wen Ju drinking here alone and feeling unhappy?"
Chen Mu stepped forward to toast.
"well."
After having a drink with him, Kong Rong said: "Just because I am wasting my time here all day long, I cannot serve the imperial court."
"Don't worry, Duke Wen Ju. If you have great talents and great weapons, you are a capable minister in governing the world. At first, he was framed by Dong Zhuo, so he left the court and went to other places. Now the court is employing people. I would like to recommend you to the court."
Returning to Luoyang, I wonder what the general will will do?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chen Mu immediately hit the snake with a stick. Kong Rong was a time bomb. He especially liked to follow the rules. Later, he angered Cao Cao and Cao Cao killed his whole family. In fact, it was because he repeatedly asked Cao Cao to kill him.
Power returns to the emperor.
At that time, Cao Cao was preparing for the Battle of Chibi. Firstly, he was afraid that the rear would be unstable, in case the elders of the imperial court took advantage of his expedition to carry out a coup. Secondly, he had already had the intention of tampering, so he was waiting for the Battle of Chibi.
If you win, you can force Emperor Xian to abdicate, so of course you have to kill Kong Rong and other Han Dynasty veterans.
In Qingzhou, Liu Bei had never done anything arrogant, and he had written many letters to advise Liu Bei. Liu Bei listened to him, so there was nothing to criticize. However, Kong Rong himself was a diehard loyalist of the Han Dynasty, so he could not let this happen.
He continues to stay here and brainwash Big Brother.
When Kong Rong heard that Chen Mu was going to recommend him to return to the court, he was overjoyed and said, "If that's true, I'd like to thank you for returning."
Chen Mu smiled and said: "Actually, the imperial court has been recruiting old ministers like Wen Jugong to return to serve in the imperial court. However, the late emperor died in death. My senior brother and other ministers and I had no choice but to elect Boan Gong as the emperor first, so that the world can be pacified in the future.
We then looked for a suitable candidate from the clan to succeed him, so we never had time to recruit Duke Wenju. Now that Duke Wenju has returned to the court to assist and stabilize the government, great things will be accomplished."
Kong Rong snorted coldly and said: "Those rebels and traitors will be punished by everyone. Especially Wang Fen of Jizhou, who actually established a false emperor while the late emperor was still alive. If I return to the court, I will write a letter to scold him."
! And I have a few good friends in Jizhou. If I can persuade them to come back, it will definitely be helpful to the court."
Chen Mu smiled, just cupped his hands and said, "Then it all depends on Wen Jugong."
As a famous keyboard warrior in ancient times, Kong Rong's fighting ability is not weak. If he and Zhuge Liang were to scold each other, they would probably be on equal footing. He mocked Cao Cao many times, quoted scriptures, and scolded Cao Cao to the point of numbness, which shows his fighting ability. If
It is also a good thing to return to the court and become a troll to weaken Jizhou's strength.
After talking to Kong Rong here, Chen Mu was going to toast the next person over there. When he looked carefully, he saw an old man who was nearly sixty years old. His hair was gray, but he was energetic, with fair and clean skin.
A neatly trimmed goatee makes people feel good.
Zheng Xuan, who was next to him, introduced with a smile: "Come here, Zigui, I will introduce you. This person is Cai Yong and Cai Bozhe. You once asked me who was the best official script writer in the world, and I told you that only Cai Bo
Jie’s font is the best.”
Chen Mu immediately respectfully performed the apprenticeship ceremony and said, "Mu has seen Mr. Bojie."
The disciple ceremony is to kneel down and kowtow.
Many people say that the Han Dynasty frowned upon kneeling down, but when meeting teachers, parents, or kings on formal occasions, they had to practice disciple etiquette, junior etiquette, and minister etiquette.
These three rites all involve kneeling and worshiping. They are called Jishou and are the most solemn among the nine rites.
Cai Yong was confused when he saw Chen Mu giving him the disciple's gift. He quickly went to help him up and asked, "Doctor Guanglu and I are not related, so why do you give him such a big gift?"
After Chen Mu stood up, he explained: "Bojie Gong didn't know something. When Emperor Kangdi called me, I entered the Hongdu School to study calligraphy and painting. One of the calligraphy styles was Feibai style, which I learned from Bojie Gong. I copied it day and night and made some progress.
, all thanks to Duke Bojie."
"I see."
Only then did Cai Yong realize that there was such a connection, and he said with a smile: "If Zigui likes my self-created calligraphy style, he can come to the academy frequently in the future. I am teaching in the academy now, so you can come and communicate at any time."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Bo, I will visit you often."
Chen Mu smiled and answered.
"Actually, I have more to thank you for."
Cai Yong sighed: "I was summoned by Thief Dong at first, and I didn't want to go. However, Thief Dong threatened me with the Chenliu clan and forced me to go. I was about to leave but had no choice but to leave. Fortunately, you helped me move the clan from Chenliu."
Coming to Qingzhou allowed me to stay safe in this alien place. Now Qingzhou has hundreds of thousands of volumes of books, and there are interesting new studies that make people yearn for them."
These so-called new studies are the mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge left by Chen Mu in junior high school. Qingzhou mathematics and physics have just started. They involve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, at most quadratic equations, as well as the propagation of sound and the refraction of light.
All theoretical knowledge needs to be practiced by students themselves.
But even this is enough for everyone to explore. After all, this knowledge is the summary of hundreds of years of Western knowledge. Even if Chen Mu is around, I am afraid it will take hundreds of years to achieve what Westerners have accumulated over hundreds of years. It cannot be achieved overnight.
It is also worth mentioning that Ma Jun has come to Qingzhou a long time ago and is making a steam engine based on Chen Mu's description. The most important thing in a steam engine is actually rubber, which requires a certain degree of sealing to operate.
Rubber is produced in South America. It is really difficult to cross the ocean on the wooden boats of the Han Dynasty, but it is not completely irreplaceable. Eucommia gum will do.
The Eucommia ulmoides tree was recorded in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" and grew widely throughout the Han Dynasty. Its bark was used as a medicinal material in the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", which can nourish the liver and kidneys, strengthen muscles and bones, and prevent pregnancy. But its juice, that is,
No one knows what Eucommia gum can be used for, but now it has a use.
If the steam engine is invented and officially put into use, the era of steampunk will probably come soon. However, scientific research and innovation is a long process. Even if there is theoretical knowledge, actual production will still take a long time.
Moreover, the steam engine is still in its infancy. Even if it is invented, it will have to go through many experiments before it can be officially put into use. It may take two or three years at the earliest, or seven or eight years at the earliest.
So there is no rush.
After talking with Cai Yong, Chen Mu went to another table to toast, chatted and had good relations with various generals, officials, and scholars. Qingzhou was enjoying itself, so that we could work together to create a better future.
After a busy day soon, he came home drunk at night. Chen Mu had a house in the city and another in Chenjiacun outside the city, but he now lives in the city.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Including parents, younger brothers and sisters are also here. My younger brother Chen Zhi is twenty-two years old this year. He is only four years younger than Chen Mu. He is very tall and is an old master of Taishan Academy.
They raised him to be young and elegant. He was dressed in a blue robe and had a bit of Chen Mu's demeanor back then.
Seeing his brother being helped back, he went up to greet him and said, "Brother."
"Um."
Chen Mu was supported by his younger brother and said to the servant of the Prefecture Mufu who sent him back: "You guys go back."
The slaves left one after another.
Naturally, the Chen family was also there during the afternoon banquet, but after all, they didn't have to entertain guests like Chen Mu and left after the meal.
So now I am waiting for him to come back at home. When my brother comes home, my sister A Feng also comes out to greet him.
"Brother."
Ah Feng is fifteen years old this year and has just reached the age of hairpins. The girl has a slender figure and has inherited the good genes of the Chen family. She is extremely beautiful. She and Chen Zhi helped Chen Mu in.
Entering the hall, I saw my father, Chen Qing, sitting alone on the threshold outside the house. He had been a farmer all his life. Suddenly, his family became prosperous. There were carved beams and painted buildings, dozens of pavilions and dozens of servants in the house. On weekdays, he was not used to it.
I prefer to squat in front of my house like an old farmer or go outside to the fields.
"Father."
Chen Mu quickly saluted.
Chen Qing smiled and said: "How much wine did you drink?"
"Too many to count."
Chen Mu smiled bitterly.
Chen Qing patted the mat beside him and said, "Sit with me."
"Um."
Chen Mu said to Chen Zhi and Chen Feng: "Ah Zhi and Ah Feng, you go and have a rest first."
"Then let's go first."
Chen Zhi and Chen Feng helped him to the mat and left.
Chen Mu turned to look at his father, who was not tall but sat upright beside him, and asked, "Where's mother?"
"She's afraid that you'll be in harm's way if you drink too much, so she's going to make you a bowl of hot soup."
Chen Qing had white hair growing on her head. She looked at Chen Mu and sighed: "Unknowingly, Ah Mu is already getting married."
"Father will also have a grandson soon."
Chen Mu smiled.
The sky has darkened, the moon and stars are sparse, and the distant wind blows slowly, making people sober.
"Son."
"Um?"
"In the future, you should be kinder to your bride and spend more time with her. Don't be like your father. After he married your mother when he was young, he wanted to have a big career after giving birth to you, so he went away for several years, but he didn't earn much and was miserable.
When I came back, I was drafted into the army, fought in the war for several years, and ended up in poverty, leaving your mother to suffer with me."
"I know that the child will remember his father's words in his heart. Maybe I will stay in Qingzhou in the next few years to spend time with my family."
"That's good, that's good."
Chen Qing sighed: "You are more capable and capable than my father. Our Chen family is like this today because of your contribution. From now on, you will be the head of the Chen family. There is a big family that depends on you to support, and everyone is counting on you to survive."
, you may be very tired, but this is your responsibility. My father is old and lame, so he can't help you much, but I still hope that you can stand upright and hold on for a day."
"I see."
Chen Mu nodded. His status today is enough to ensure that the Chen family will have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
However, Chen Qing smiled and said: "The Chen family I am talking about is not our own family, but the entire clan. This is something that the clan elders have determined after discussion. From now on, you will be the patriarch of the Chen clan. Chen
You are the head of the family. All members of the Chen family will obey your orders."
The entire clan?
Chen Mu's face became solemn.
Once a person carries too many things, it means he has to bear more responsibilities.
Chenjia Village was brought to Qingzhou by Chen Mu. There are hundreds of people in the entire clan. Here, they are unfamiliar with the place and have no one to rely on. They all rely on Chen Mu. Once he is gone, it is like they have lost their backbone and their soul.
.
So as early as two years ago, after old Mrs. Chen passed away, everyone decided to respect Chen Qing as the patriarch.
At this time, the position of clan leader is not something that ordinary people can hold. Only those who can lead the whole clan to prosperity can be elected by everyone.
For example, Qin Feng is the patriarch of the Qin clan.
Not only does he own the entire clan's property, but he can also order his clan members to accompany him in sending troops to fight.
For example, when he helped Chen Mu defeat Xu Rong in Longfeng Mountain, it was the result of the joint efforts of Qin Feng leading all his clan members and thousands of family servants.
It can be said that in that battle, Qin Feng was actually betting on the fate of the entire family. If he won the bet, he would become rich. If he lost the bet, Dong Zhuo would confiscate his family and exterminate his family.
Fortunately, he won the bet and led the clan to become even more prosperous.
Today, Chen Qing told Chen Mu that he would become like Qin Feng and become the leader of the clan.
Once Chen Mu takes over, if he loses a bet on something in the future, the entire family will be buried with him, and all clan members will die with him.
It can be said that the lives of everyone in the Chen family have been pinned on Chen Mu, so Chen Qing's previous words were actually reminding him of his obligations and mission.
At the same time, Chen Mu is also married and has a family, so he should understand this responsibility even more.
Parents may want their children to be happy, but the ancients valued the continuation of the family more and the inheritance of blood relatives, so Chen Qing now represents the Chen family to tell Chen Mu how heavy his burden is.
Hearing Chen Qing's words, Chen Mu's expression became more solemn, and he said seriously: "The family and the country are so big. Without a family, how can there be a country? The head of a family is just a small business. If you can't take on the small business, so what?"
Carrying on the great cause of the country? I will always remember my father's words in my heart, and I will lead my people to overcome thorns and thorns, so that the Chen family can be preserved forever."
"Okay, okay."
Chen Qing nodded happily, and Lao Huai was pleased.
At this moment, mother Fang came over with freshly cooked chicken soup.
"Mother."
Chen Mu quickly stood up.
Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "Son, come on, have some hot soup."
"good."
Chen Mu took the chicken soup and drank it in one gulp. It was not hot, but warm. It was obvious that Fang had put the bowl in cold water to cool it.
After drinking the chicken soup, my stomach feels warm and comfortable.
Fang's temples have also turned white. They are nearly fifty, and they both look at their most outstanding son with smiles.
That gaze was full of deep affection.
There are no parents in this world who don't love their children.
But my son has to do important things for the family and the country.
So even if I feel sorry for my son who is traveling around all the time, I can only let it go.
But now, my son is finally back and has a family of his own.
They can also accompany their son and enjoy family happiness by his side.
Under the night, in the new wind.
The soft moonlight fell on a family of three, illuminating the tenderness of the world.
