Chapter 172 The Night of the bridal chamber
Liu Bei thought that Zhuge Liang was indeed water. Whenever he could send a little coolness in time when his fish was trapped by dryness.
I was secretly happy in my heart, but the gray face showed a touch of apology and uneasiness.
"Speaking of which, Zhou Lang and I also worked together to break Cao Cao. They can be called old comrades-in-arms, but now I secretly use means. I really can't bear to target him like this."
Liu Bei pressed his chest and sighed, and his eyebrows condensed into a ball, as if his heart was really in pain.
"The so-called 'those who achieve great things do not care about trifles'. If it is like Liu Jingsheng, it is just pedantic, and in the end, it will only fall into a tragic situation of the collapse of the country and the family. In addition, didn't Zhou Lang repeatedly target the lord, so the lord doesn't have to blame himself for this at all.
Zhuge Liang's relief seemed to have made Liu Bei much better. His frown gradually relaxed. He sighed softly and laughed at himself: "What the military division said also makes sense. Maybe I'm really tired of the name of benevolence and righteousness sometimes."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing.
Liu Bei sighed for a moment and regained his spirits. "Military division, now that Nanjun has reached the fore, what should we do next?"
Zhuge Liangyu pointed to the map on the wall, "At present, we take this opportunity to sell this favor to Liu Zhang, which just makes Liu Zhang have a good impression on the lord. The next thing the lord has to do is to train troops and accumulate grain, accumulate strength, and secretly communicate with Liu Zhang, blind him from his guard, and make a big plan for the future. Start preparing."
Liu Bei brushed the beard under his jaw, and his eyes swam on the vast land on the map. Between his eyes, a strange pride flashed quietly.

Linxiang City.
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye. This autumn is high and refreshing, and the clouds are light and the wind is light, as if the sky is beautiful. He sent a congratulatory gift to Liu Feng's first wedding and the most important wedding.
The shadow caused by the assassination more than ten days ago seems to have been diluted by the lanterns of a city. On this day, the whole city's scholars and people were immersed in the festive atmosphere of the festival and sincerely sent their heartfelt blessings to the general Zhennan.
The wedding ceremony was co-hosted by two capable officials, Liu Ba and Lv Fan. As the hero of the play, Liu Feng originally thought that it was just a crossover and did not need to be too much, but when the wedding ceremony officially began, he found that he had made a big mistake.
Obviously, whether it is Liu Ba or Lv Fan, they do not intend to simplify this wedding ceremony. According to the ancient etiquette, they turned Liu Feng's imagination into an extremely complicated Zhou Lixiu.
According to the wedding ceremony in this era, in fact, the whole wedding process should be divided into three processes: pre-wedding ceremony, formal wedding ceremony and post-wedding ceremony.
The pre-wedding ceremony is divided into six items, namely, acceptance, name inquiry, Naji, recruitment, invitation period and personal welcome.
The acceptance is to discuss marriage. The man needs to send a matchmaker to the woman's house to propose and present the gift of the proposal. Asking for the name is to ask the woman's name, ranking, date of birth, and whether it is good or bad after marriage.
The so-called Naji is that after asking the name, the turtle Party A can tell whether the date of birth of the man and the woman matches. If there is an auspicious omen, he will send another messenger to take the goose to the woman's house to report the good news, and the two parties will officially confirm the marriage contract. This gift is the most critical of the six gifts before marriage, that is, the man sends someone to send money to the woman's family. After the gift is completed, according to the etiquette, the woman's family has no right to reverse the marriage contract.
As for the final invitation period and the second wedding ceremony, it is the man's final marriage date, and then according to the selected day, the man will personally welcome the wedding, among which there are many ceremonies.
Of course, etiquette belongs to etiquette. In such a troubled era, if everything is done according to etiquette, I'm afraid it can't be done.
The so-called six gifts before marriage, in addition to one gift, Liu Feng officially sent Chen Zhen to carry out, the other five gifts can only be perfunctory according to the actual situation.
However, in Liu Ba's view, the pre-wedding ceremony is out of helplessness, so it can be saved, and this wedding must be carried out perfectly in accordance with the etiquette system.
In the presence of the guests, a couple of newcomers also made three worships. Then, before entering the table, they gave a warm ceremony, that is, they washed their hands with water and washed off the dust.
This seat is also quite exquisite. It is not like the usual seat for one person, but sitting opposite each other, male west and female east, which means yin and yang intersection.
After the banquet ceremony, it is the same prison ceremony and the joint ceremony. In the same prison, the husband and wife eat the same meat of the same livestock together. As for this gift, the husband and wife drink it with a cup.
Liu Feng previously thought that this ceremony was the wine of later generations, but in fact it was not the case.
The original meaning of the combination is that ** is two, and the combination is one device. That is to say, a melon is divided into two and the wine is held separately. This is bitter, and the wine must be bitter wine, which means that the bride and groom are combined into one, sharing joys and sorrows. When drinking together, pour the wine into the cup separately, and the husband and wife exchange their glasses, and then drink it together.
Liu Feng's life was the most annoying about red tape, and Sun Shangxiang was injured again. Even a gentle action would cause pain in the wound, but the two of them could only endure it. Under the gaze of the guests, they patiently completed this series of rituals.
Finally, at the end of the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom entered the new house together and had to hold the wedding ceremony, while the guests outside held a banquet to eat.
In the new house, under the service of the waitress, the two took off their heavy dresses, and then the waitress smiled and said, "Please lift up your wife's head and the gift of closing the bed is completed."
Liu Feng had seen Sun Shangxiang's face for a long time, and he secretly kissed her unkindly while she was "sleeping". Nevertheless, in front of a group of waitresses, Liu Feng had to look full of expectation and carefully lifted the red cover gently.
At the moment of lifting the cover, Liu Feng's heart could not be restrained slightly.
Under the candlelight, despite being disturbed by the disease, her face is still amazingly beautiful, like a proud lily in the depths of darkness.
The waitresses retreated with candles, and it suddenly darkened in the new house.
The moonlight penetrated through the cracks of the window and shone on Sun Shangxiang's ice-like skin, which was as flawless as transparent, adding to her thrilling beauty.
Such a woman who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, but at this moment, as her wife, quietly lowered her eyebrows and sat in front of her. In a trance, Liu Feng had an unreal illusion.
"Have you seen enough?" Sun Shangxiang stared deeply, with a hint of shyness.
Liu Feng's mind pulled away from her dreamy beauty, and a bad smile rose from the corners of her mouth. Suddenly, she picked her up unprepared.
"What do you want to do?"
Sun Shangxiang was shocked, like an unconscious little girl. This question made Liu Feng almost laugh out loud.
"Spring Festival is worth a lot of money, madam, what do you think I want to do?" Liu Feng smiled and walked to the bed with her in his arms.
