Chapter 125

Most of the people Liu Jing wanted to meet had met at Song Zhong's banquet, so early the next morning, that is, on September [-], after staying in Xiangyang for three days, he finally set off again.

Lai Gong is accompanying him this time. As an elder, he will present Liu Jing to the Deng family. Zhuge Liang, Pan Jun, and Wang Can will also go with him. The first two are closely related to him, and they will not come Unexpectedly, Wang Can was somewhat beyond Liu Jing's expectations.According to his own words, he was bored in Xiangyang and wanted to go out to relax, so he followed.

Regardless of Wang Can's purpose, Liu Jing welcomes him.

Xinye is about [-] miles away from Xiangyang. Liu Jing's fleet transferred from Hanshui River to Feishui River and arrived in Xinye smoothly after sailing for two and a half days.

Liu Jing had sent someone to notify Deng in advance, so when the fleet arrived in Xinye, Deng was already waiting on the shore.

The Deng family welcomed hundreds of people, dozens of carts, and slaves filled the road. The scale was so grand that passers-by on the bank looked sideways at them. When they learned that Deng You, one of the servants, was marrying a daughter, it immediately caused a great commotion.Who in Xinye didn't know that there was only one daughter under Deng You's knees, she was the most beautiful woman in Nanyang.If she hadn't already had a marriage contract, the threshold of the Deng family would have been stepped down.

Who is Deng's son-in-law?It is said that the two were married by finger belly.

The people in Xinye were curious and slowly gathered to watch.

As an elder, Deng You naturally couldn't come forward in person, and it was Deng Yuan's two elder brothers—Deng Chong and Deng Lang—who greeted Liu Jing.

Both of them have passed their weak years. Because they inherited Deng's excellent lineage, they are tall and good-looking. Liu Jing hardly knows them, but her father-in-law Deng You has repeatedly called them "mediocre intellect" in letters. , "Incompetent", I don't know whether it is deliberately modest or true.

Liu Jing guessed that it should be the latter, because the two are already in their 20s, but they have always been unknown. In terms of their backgrounds, even if they have a little talent, they won't be so far.

"Zhongda, I haven't seen you for two years, you have become a real man."

Seeing Deng Chong and Deng Lang put on a familiar look, they were completely different from the indifference three years ago, Liu Jing couldn't help laughing, and said, "Second brother is still handsome." Then he introduced Lai Gong, Wang Can, Zhuge Liang, Pan Jun and others beside him.

Zhuge Liang and Pan Jun had no reputation, and they did not attract the attention of Deng Chong and Deng Lang. Although Lai Gong was a famous scholar in Jingnan, when it came to reputation, he was not as good as Wang Can. Deng Chong and Deng Lang were very famous for Wang Can. Like thunder, his great-grandfather Wang Gong and grandfather Wang Chang were all officials to Sangong, and he himself was favored by the great Confucian Cai Yong. When he saw him today, he found that he was thin and ugly, so he felt contemptuous, thinking that he was not so famous under his reputation. vice.

The little girl, Ah Xi, stood on tiptoe behind her, stretched her neck to watch Liu Jing, and said to her companion, A Shu, "Sister A Shu, Jun Liu's style is really outstanding!" , This is the first time she saw Liu Jing.

"Only such an outstanding gentleman is worthy of a girl." Ashu nodded.She is 17 years old this year, one year older than Deng Yuan, but she has met Liu Jing. However, time has passed, and Liu Jing has changed from a 15-year-old boy to a young man. Both inside and outside have undergone earth-shaking changes. It is difficult to learn from him again. Find traces of the past.

Naturally, the two came here under the order of Deng Yuan, and the purpose is self-evident.

Axi had a round face, and said happily: "I really hope that the girl and Liu Jun can get married as soon as possible."

Ah Shu couldn't help giving her a blank look. Before, she was worried about Changsha's low humidity and getting sick, so she cried a lot because of this. Now that she sees Liu Jun, she's not afraid right away?

"Rituals Shihun Li" contains six marriage ceremonies, namely: "Na Cai, Ask the name, Naji, Na Zheng, ask for a date, and welcome in person." Only when you go to the last step to greet in person can you go to Deng's residence. At present, Liu Jing and his party can only find a place to live temporarily. Mrs. Deng has already considered this point and planned to arrange them in a big house in Xinye City.

That mansion has many rooms, more than enough to accommodate 50 people, but Deng Chong and Deng Lang were stunned when they saw [-] soldiers in red clothes getting off the boat.

"Second brother, forgive me." Liu Jing explained with a smile: "Nowadays the world is in turmoil and the roads are not safe. To ensure that this trip will not be invaded by bandits, I have brought some more people."

Deng Chong and Deng Lang couldn't help but look at each other. Naturally, with so many people, they couldn't enter the city anymore. Even if they wanted to enter, Xinye County Temple would not dare to let them go.After discussing with each other, the two decided to take Liu Jing to a property beside the Feishui River in the northwest suburb of Xinye.There is a manor, the place is large enough, if you don't care about comfort, it can accommodate two to three hundred people.

Liu Jing was very satisfied with the residence Deng arranged. Having a room, even if it was a little crowded, was much better than setting up a tent in the wild.

After settling down, the two parties began to discuss the specifics of the wedding, because Liu Jing and Deng Yuan were married on the belly, and they only needed to do a good job of accepting the lottery, accepting the levy, and personally welcoming, and skipping the other three rituals.What Deng means is that the six wedding ceremonies can be simplified, but they cannot be omitted.

Liu Jing has nothing to do, and mainly depends on Deng's opinion. In the end, the two parties reached an agreement. The most recent auspicious day.

…………

October is already the beginning of winter, and the sun is shining during the day, so it may not feel cold, but as the evening approaches and the north wind lingers, it gradually becomes a bit cooler.

Deng Yuan was wearing an exquisite ponytail, and was wearing a crimson-purple printed and colorful gown, with slender new cotton stuffed between the inside and outside, and the socks were quite thick.

She had been sitting in the high attic for a whole afternoon, her water-clear eyes were always looking at the south, which was the direction of her house's gate.

With the sunset, the temperature in the building was getting lower and lower, but she was reluctant to leave. In fact, she was holding the bosom stove in her hands, and there was a burst of warmth from it, and she didn't feel cold at all.

There was nothing similar in the Han Dynasty. Liu Jing gave her this furnace at the beginning of this year. The structure of the furnace is simple, but it is quite practical. Even Deng You couldn't help imitating some after seeing it.

Just when the sky was getting dark and the vision was getting blurred, a large convoy arrived at the door from far to near.

"Finally home!"

Deng Yuan couldn't hide his joy on his face, he stood up to support the case, and went down to the attic with a "thud thump".

Several maidservants waiting on the first floor said in unison: "Girl, you are finally willing to come down..."

When Deng Yuan saw the maidservants, his expression immediately became calm and serene. He held up the hem of his skirt, slowed down his steps, and went downstairs slowly, just like a lady walking out of a painting.

Not long after, Ashu and Axi returned to Shaojun's Garden, and before Deng Yuan could ask questions, Axi began to talk happily.
