Chapter 89: A Stone Breaking Wedding
On the day of marrying Die'er, Zhang Yu's garden was filled with guests.
Although Die'er was a concubine, Zhang Yu used the gift of marrying a wife, and each of the six gifts was done well. The dowry gifts given to the Chen family were very generous. If the jewelry alone was estimated at the time price, it would be no less than 20 million. After the Chen family received Zhang Yu's dowry gifts, they added a large amount of money and goods on the basis of Zhang Yu's dowry gifts, and there were 100 carriages for dowry. In that era, the custom of marriage was a bit like modern India, and there were astonishing dowry when marrying a daughter.
Emperor Ling of Han sent an imperial edict to congratulate him. General He Jin sent his brother He Miao to bring gifts to Zhang Yu's house in Yangdi to have a wedding banquet. General Huangfu Song, General Zhu Jun, General Dong Zhuo and others all sent people to send gifts. Because Sun Ce became a Sima of another department, he had not yet gone to the front line to fight, so he arrived in person.
Yuan Ji's official position as a servant was also sold by Emperor Ling. Yuan Ji, who was unemployed at home, rushed over immediately after receiving Zhang Yu's invitation.
Anyway, a large number of officials and scholars from Luoyang came to Zhang Yu's house in Yangdi to have a wedding banquet.
Yuan Wei was in Runan, because Zhang Yu asked him to be the mastermind, he came one day in advance. Yuan Shao naturally came too.
In addition to these people, there were the three prefects of Wang Yun, Wang Xiang, Yang Qi, Qin Jie, and Luo Jun, the prime minister of Chen State.
Naturally, all representatives of the big family alliance family were all here, and the gifts they sent were filled with the lobby on the first floor of the main building.
Zhang Yu’s house posted big red wedding words everywhere, hanging big red lanterns, tied ribbons, and hung colorful balloons.
The wine table is made of the Eight Immortals table, and the dining plate is made of modern porcelain. After using these tables this time, they will be moved to the base.
The wine table is placed in the pavilions and terraces of the Quqiao corridor in the garden.
The chairman is placed in a pavilion on the top of the rockery.
The main table sat on the little princess, Chen Wei, Yuan Wei, Fang Ying, Die'er and Zhang Yu.
Before the wedding began, Yuan Wei read out the imperial edict and the congratulatory letter from General He Jin.
The wedding was hosted by Yuan Wei, and Zhang Yu and Die'er worshipped the world in the pavilion. Die'er respected Fang Ying's tea.
After the complex etiquette was completed, Zhang Yu started a special-function speech [Super Far Message].
After the banquet officially began, Zhang Yu and Die'er first greeted Chen Xi and said, "The great honor of Zhang Yu when Emperor Gaozu visited my wedding with Die'er. Zhang Yu was rude. Please forgive me for your rudeness."
Zhang Yu drank the wine in the glass in one go.
Chen Shi smiled so hard that his beards were trembling and said, "I decided this marriage. I will be able to attend your wedding with Die'er in person. I will be able to attend your wedding in person. You, Zhang Yu, are an extraordinary person and will definitely have a great future. The Chen family is very honored to be able to marry you. The great man is in a storm and needs your greatness to stabilize the situation. I am optimistic about you and believe that you have a bright future."
Because Chen was so old, he only drank a small sip of wine and put down his glass.
Zhang Yu and Die'er respected Yuan Wei's wine. Zhang Yu said: "Your Majesty is the leader of the scholars today. Zhang Yu has just left the cottage. I hope you can support more in the future."
Yuan Wei laughed and said, "General Pingnan, Duke Chen is the leader of the scholars, and I am just an old man in the court."
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Gaozu is the spiritual leader of the scholar, and you are the actual leader."
Yuan Wei and Chen Zhi looked at each other and laughed.
Yuan Wei said: "General Pingnan, don't worry, even if I, Yuan Wei, do not have an official position, can still influence the Luoyang officialdom. Just because you donate the results of the Jishan Victory to me, we are our own family."
After Zhang Yu and Die'er toasted everyone, they went back to the bridal chamber. Fang Ying took the little princess's hand and went back to the room to rest.
Zhang Yu and Die'er sat side by side on the edge of the bed. Zhang Yu looked at Die'er. Die'er blushed and her hands were twisted, and she was at a loss.
The butterfly is small and exquisite, with delicate facial features, like a porcelain doll. The skin is so white and tender that it seems that water will seep out with a light pinch.
Zhang Yu liked it more and more. He couldn't help but hold Die'er's chin and leaned his mouth over.
Die'er was only fifteen years old, and she was still in junior high school in modern times, but she got married in that era. In that era, girls could get married at the age of fourteen. If they were not married after they were old, not only would the government impose a high capita tax, but people in society would also criticize it.
In that era, it was normal for men with high status to marry a single wife and multiple concubines, but it would be abnormal if they only marry a single wife. It was rare for men of the age of Zhang Yu to marry a concubine as soon as they got married. Moreover, they married Chen Da, the head of the scholars, the granddaughter of the granddaughter of the master of scholars, as their concubines. This was the dream of the scholars. With this alone, scholars had to look up to Zhang Yu.
The wedding that Zhang Yu married Die'er was in line with traditional customs and was also stunningly innovative arrangements, which will naturally become a topic of discussion among people from all over the world.
When Zhang Yu was in the bridal chamber with Butterfly, the guests in the garden were talking excitedly about Zhang Yu and Butterfly'er's marriage. Some praised Butterfly'er's beauty, some praised the garden as fascinating as a fairyland, some worshipped Zhang Yu, saying that Zhang Yu was the pillar of the country and the foundation of the stability of the Han Dynasty. Everything Zhang Yu had was enviable. Zhang Yu's sudden appearance not only made everyone fascinated like a legend, but also became poems and praised.
The great hero Sun Jian sat with Chen Guojin Luo Jun. Sun Jian was very proud of the civil and military skills of King Chen Liu Chong. He looked at Luo Jun and asked with a smile: "The Prime Minister thought that which is stronger, King Chen's martial arts or General Pingnan's martial arts?"
Luo Jun laughed and said, "King Chen has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He was particularly good at shooting arrows. He hit the bull's eye with ten shots and hit the bull's eye. He is a master of the master. Chen State has become a refuge for the people, gathering more than 150,000 refugees from all over the world. King Chen has a pension for the refugees. When Sima was young, he encountered pirates and robbed him. Your wit and courage were passed down as a world-wide story. Your achievements are enough to show the sun and the moon. Who dares to compete with you? General Pingnan rose in the post office, soaring in the sky like a big roc, coming and going without a trace. He can take the heads of the enemy's generals in the mountains and steep mountains, and he can walk like a flat ground. With a blink of an eye, the enemy's nest will be destroyed. You are all outstanding people in the world. You are the blessing of the Han Dynasty and the blessing of the people. King Chen admires you very much and wants to drink with you. Unfortunately, the situation is unstable and he cannot come."
Luo Jun liked all three of them, but by judging it, you can find that Zhang Yu was ranked at a high position without anyone else.
Sun Jian laughed loudly after hearing this.
Yuan Ji and Yuan Shao sat at the same table. Yuan Ji was just dismissed from his official position and was in a very bad mood and kept drinking.
Yuan Shao felt sorry for his elder brother and whispered: "Father and brother, drink less. Although it is nectar, drinking too much will hurt your body!"
Yuan Ji looked at Yuan Shao and sighed heavily, "Brother Shao! Brother never expected that Your Majesty would take out his position to sell him. I have been an official for the rest of my life, and I can only be an official, and I can't do anything else! My brother is suddenly unemployed, and I feel empty inside, and my soul is flying away from my body. I feel sad!"
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said, "It was all caused by Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong and others bewitching Your Majesty. I asked me to kill all these eunuchs."
Yuan Ji's eyes were protruding and he sternly said: "I only know how to fight, kill, kill, and kill the Ten Generals. What are the benefits of our Yuan family? Do you want His Majesty to destroy the entire Yuan family?"
Yuan Shao sighed heavily and said, "I am not convinced. Those incomplete people are too arrogant and dare to bully our Yuan family."
Yuan Ji took a sip of wine and shook his head and said, "Hold on it! You will go back to Luoyang to report to the General's Mansion in the past two days. Although your brother and uncle's official position have been removed, our Yuan family has not yet fallen! Although the Ten Eunuchs bullied our Yuan family, they dare not go too far."
After Yuan Shao sighed for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Yuan Ji and said in a low voice: "Father and brother, Zhang Yu is now very favored by the emperor. The emperor is firmly held by Zhang Yu in the palm of his hand. As long as he is willing to say something in front of the emperor, you will be able to regain your post immediately."
Yuan Ji looked at Yuan Shao's eyes and asked in a low voice: "Is Zhang Yu willing to speak in front of the emperor for his brother?"
Yuan Shao smiled and asked back: "Why can't you learn from Chen Taiqiu?"
Yuan Ji frowned and asked curiously: "What does it mean?"
Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Wan'er is so old and can get married."
