Chapter 394

On September 19, Zhang Zhao and his party arrived in Xiangyang City.

Zhang Zhao, sun Shangxiang and the rest of the entourage stayed in the post house, and then Zhang Zhao got up and went to the prefecture. Sun Shangxiang's marriage to Liu Xiu has been agreed by both sides.

However, if you want to get married, you have to discuss with Liu Xiu first.

Prefecture, hall.

Looking at the exhausted Zhang Zhao, Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Zibu has been working hard all the way."

Zhang Zhao said: "thank you Liu Jingzhou for your concern. I'm old and not hard." As soon as the words changed, Zhang Zhao asked, "Liu Jingzhou, the wedding team has arrived in Xiangyang City. When are you going to get married?"

Liu Xiu looked at Yi Ji sitting in the hall.

When it comes to marriage and etiquette, Liu Xiu let Yi Ji handle it. The most important thing is that they are erudite, knowledgeable and have a clear understanding of the etiquette process.

Liu Xiu was very relieved that he was from Iraq.

Yi Ji took over and said, "Mr. Zhang, the time my lord chose is September 26. It's an auspicious day. It's a good time to get married. It is the most appropriate day for the Lord to win sun Shangxiang. "

Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Zhao and asked, "Mr. Zibu, what do you think?"

Zhang Zhao said, "Liu Jingzhou is considerate and will do what Liu Jingzhou wants."

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "there are still a few days left. Mr. Zibu will have a rest in Xiangyang. When it's time, I'll send someone to inform Mr. Zibu. "

Zhang Zhao said, "I'll leave first."

With that, Zhang Zhao turned and left.

Liu Xiu looked at Yi Ji and said, "Mr. Ji Bo, everything is hard for you."

"It's a matter of humble duty."

Yi Ji stood up and went to prepare for the wedding on September 26.

……

After returning to the post house, Zhang Zhao came to sun Shangxiang's room.

With a soft smile on his old face, Zhang Zhao said slowly, "Shang Xiang, I went to see Liu Xiu just now and set the time for my marriage. On September 26, Liu Xiu will marry you. "

Sun Shangxiang said, "I know!"

"Alas..."

Zhang Zhao sighed and said, "don't you know how to face Liu Xiu?"

Sun Shangxiang's body was shocked, and he soon regained his calm.

Zhang Zhao continued: "things of the past have already gone with the wind. Now, Liu Jingzhou has become a herdsman in Jingzhou, and has already married. He didn't care about the past. Why does the girl still live in the past? "

"Now that we are about to marry Liu Xiu, why bother to think about the past?"

"Now when you think about Jiangdong, you can only make yourself miserable."

Zhang Zhao said earnestly: "what you are thinking about now is only one thing, that is, how to get a foothold in the prefecture and live a good life. You don't have to worry about the rest. To live a good life is to be most responsible for yourself and to comfort your dead father and brother. "

Sun Shangxiang looked at Zhang Zhao. His eyes were moist and full of tears.

Zhang Zhao continued: "you are going to be a wife. Maybe soon, you will be a mother. Since he married Liu Xiu, he is a member of the Liu family. He will consider himself as Liu Xiu. "

"A married daughter is like water thrown out. That's the truth."

"I shouldn't have said that to you. I should advise you to help your elder brother after you marry Liu Xiu. But as the saying goes, since you marry Liu Xiu, you will be Liu Xiu's man in your whole life. "

Zhang Zhao said, "you don't have to be involved in the affairs of Jiangdong and Jingzhou. What you have to do is very simple, that is to teach your husband and children. After marrying Liu Xiu, I'll live a good life. "

Drops of tears, from sun Shangxiang's eyes, across the cheek, dripping on the clothes.

Zhang Zhao reached out to wipe the tears from sun Shangxiang's eyes and continued: "I have been trusted by Bo Fu and entrusted with important tasks. I have been following sun for more than ten years. I have watched you grow up."

"Born in the family of the Marquis, I can't help myself."

"You're still good now."

"I see Liu Xiu as a man of unparalleled spirit, outstanding talent and ability."

"In troubled times, you follow her, at least not in a precarious situation. and. Liu Xiu is young and promising. He is equal to you, and he doesn't insult you. If there is no Liu Xiu, change to another person. Or, if Marquis Wu asks you to go to the northern Cao thief's command to get married, your situation will be even worse. "

Zhang Zhao laughed and said, "so it's a good choice for you to marry Liu Xiu."

"Perhaps, the sun clan, but also rely on you to be able to continue."

"Miss Shangxiang, it's useless to think about anything at this stage. Why not accept it generously instead of contradicting it in your heart? "

"Let yourself feel better and let Liu Xiu accept you better.""It's the most unwise way to be angry with yourself."

"I've lived most of my life and seen countless things. In my opinion, you are lucky to marry Liu Xiu. "

Zhang Zhao once again said: "the war between Jingzhou and Jiangdong in the future is not something you can intervene in, not something you should consider. As a man and wife, you just need to teach your husband and children, not to make trouble for Liu Xiu in the backyard. "

Sun Shangxiang solemnly said, "the teachings of Duke Zhang are remembered by Shangxiang."

Zhang Zhao said: "just understand. September 26 is the time to get married. Now, you can adjust your state and wait for the day when you get married

"Yes

After sun Shangxiang was enlightened, he felt much better.

Time is like running water. September 26 will come in a twinkling of an eye.

Compared with Huang Yueying, sun Shangxiang directly put on the Phoenix Xiaguan, put on the festive Dahongpao, and then was sent to the room in the yard, no worship heaven and earth, no visit to the high hall and so on.

Huang Yueying is the order of her parents and the words of the matchmaker. She is the real wife of the matchmaker.

Naturally, there's a whole range of etiquette.

Sun Shangxiang married here. It was a concubine's room. It should be simple and there was nothing.

The only one is that Liu Xiu set up a banquet in the prefecture and announced that he married sun Shangxiang. The only officials involved were those from Jiangdong who saw off their relatives and those from Yi Ji and Kuai Liang who stayed in Xiangyang.

None of the chief generals or divisions of the first, second, third, fourth or fifth armies came back.

The prefects of the counties also did not participate.

Relatively speaking, the marriage was rather crude.

But Zhang Zhao didn't care. As long as Liu Xiu married sun Shangxiang, all this would be finished.

The banquet was lively.

For the time being, the officials of jiangzhan and Jingzhou had a tacit understanding of each other. The atmosphere of the banquet was quite warm.

It's late at night when the banquet is over.

After Zhang Zhao and Jiangdong officials left, Kuai Liang, Yi Ji, Pang Tong and others left one after another.

Liu Xiu was very drunk, but he didn't get drunk. Liu Xiu asked the housekeeper to clean up. Under the leadership of Deng AI, he went to the back yard.

Deng AI followed Liu Xiu. Seeing that he was going in the wrong direction, he said, "young master, this is the yard of the first lady. Don't you go to the yard of the second lady at night?"

In Deng AI's eyes, Huang Yueying is the first lady and sun Shangxiang is the second.

Liu Xiu glared at Deng AI and said, "you are a busy boy. It's late at night. You can go back and have a rest. I'll handle my affairs well."

Deng AI said, "I'll take you to the big lady's yard and go back to rest."

Liu Xiu didn't persuade him. When he arrived at Huang Yueying's yard, Deng AI left.

When Liu Xiu enters the yard, the maid beside Huang Yueying immediately finds out and tells Huang Yueying. At this time, Huang Yueying is three months pregnant, and her stomach begins to show her bosom.

When she saw Liu Xiu coming, she quickly welcomed him into the room.

Smell Liu Xiu full of wine, Huang Yueying to a cup of tea, let Liu Xiu drink sober up, and then said: "husband, today is the day of marriage, how come to concubine body here."

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "you know, marrying sun Shangxiang is just a marriage with Jiangdong. I'll stay with you tonight. "

When Huang Yueying heard the speech, she was in a sweet mood.

Originally, Liu Xiu took his concubine. Even though Huang Yueying knew it was impossible to stop it, she also acquiesced in it. There was always a knot in her heart. Now, after listening to Liu Xiu's words, a trace of depression in his heart was thrown directly out of the sky.

Huang Yueying shook her head and said, "husband, don't be a child. Although it was a marriage, sun Shangxiang entered the Liu family and was the woman of the Liu family. No matter what she used to be or what she used to be, now she has only one identity, your woman. "

"My husband is a man of indomitable spirit. Is he going to be angry with a woman? To embarrass a woman? I also thought about her situation. She, a woman from Jiangdong, came to Jingzhou alone, and because of marriage, it must not be easy. "

Huang Yueying said: "husband, today is a happy day. Don't be a child. It's enough for me to know that my husband's heart is here. Besides, I'm pregnant and I can't serve my husband. Come on, don't delay

Liu Xiu wants to talk, but Huang Yueying pushes him out of the yard.

The servant girl stood beside Huang Yueying and watched Liu Xiu's back disappear. She said, "madam, when you come to the yard, how can you let him leave?"

Huang Yueying's face, with a look of happiness, slowly said: "this person, you have to be content and understand each other. My husband has his difficulties. It's enough for him to come here. It's enough that he treats me like this

The maid didn't know the meaning of Huang Yueying's words.
