Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 688

"Sister, you are in a hurry to call my whole family to Chengdu, wouldn't it be as simple as a sibling reunion, right?" After exchanging pleasantries, Lan Tian directly hit the topic.

Gan Qian nodded and said: "Boyang and Wan'er have already made a baby marriage. They are both over 16 years old now. I intend to let them get married soon, so I let Ziyu's family come to Sichuan."

"So that's how it is," Lan Tian said to himself, no wonder Lan Yuan must be present, it turned out that it was Sister who wanted to recruit a son-in-law.

"Wan'er is not young at this age. If she doesn't get married in an ordinary peasant household, she will be punished if she is found out by the government. Do Ziyu and her younger siblings have any objections to marrying the two of them?" Gan Qian added.

Lu Lingqi met Gan Qian's inquiring eyes, then turned her head and signaled to Lan Tian: "The husband is in charge of the family affairs, but the marriage of the two children has been decided long ago, and now it is just ahead of time, Ziyu will not refuse .”

"Of course I have no objection. I originally planned to let Boyang return from the Southern Expedition, and only after earning some military merits would he enter Sichuan to propose marriage to the King and Elder Sister." Lan Tian nodded slightly.

Liu Bei stared at Lanyuan and said meaningfully: "The ancients said that when you start a family and start a business, Boyang and Wan'er get married first, and then it will not be too late to conquer Linyi. However, although Linyi is small, this move is the credit for destroying the country. Ziyu prepared it The dowry really has some weight."

When Lan Tian heard the betrothal gift, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly smiled: "My lord and elder sister will set a date first, and the wedding process such as accepting Cai, asking names, accepting auspiciousness, accepting a levy, and asking for a date will take time. I haven't prepared the bride price in a hurry, I will return to Guangzhou tomorrow to prepare."

Gan Qian quickly waved her hand: "It takes two or three months to go back and forth, why does Ziyu have to travel so hard? Elder sister has asked Taichang (Lai Gong) to count the days, and the fifteenth day of this month is an auspicious day. Boyang and Wan'er are here How about getting married that day?"

"March [-]th? It's less than ten days from now. Isn't it too hasty in such a short time?" Lan Tian was full of doubts.

Lan Tian and Lu Lingqi looked at each other, they didn't expect Gan Qian to be so eager. Although their wedding in Xinye was very simple, it took two or three months.

Gan Qian explained: "My sister knows that Boyang has military affairs, and he can return to Jiaozhou early when he gets married. Doesn't he want to expand the territory for the king? The process can completely shorten the time, and the dowry is too common to know how to prepare."

"Is this okay?" Lan Tian looked at Liu Bei and asked.

Liu Bei looked kindly, looked at Gan Qian tenderly, and replied with a smile: "The queen is in charge of this matter. She wants to let the children get married as soon as possible. Gu is also very supportive. Shu'er is only one year older than Wan'er. I married Xingguo years ago."

Seeing that Lantian was still hesitant, Gan Qian asked, "Ziyu is straightforward and straightforward, and never sticks to ancient methods. Could it be that you have other ideas?"

Lan Tian smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't think it matters, but Wan'er is the daughter of the king after all, if her wedding etiquette is hasty, will it damage the majesty of the king?"

"Don't worry about Ziyu, there will be no lack of etiquette, but it will shorten the time. Deshun (Lai Gong) will handle this matter well, and the orphan will confer Wan'er as a princess. All the officials and people in Chengdu can see this. It is a grand occasion, so not only will it not damage the prestige, but it will show its prestige through this event." Liu Bei replied solemnly.

Lan Tian had seen the briefness of later weddings, and Liu Bei and Gan Qian seemed so "informal", so Lan Tian agreed in front of the two children.

There is no need for Liu Bei and Lan Tian to be busy in organizing the wedding for Taichang Lai Gong, just wait until the [-]th of March.

The Lantian couple and Gan Qian have not seen each other for several years. They first asked each other about the situation in Xiaying Palace, and then they talked about the years in Xiaopei. Those hazy and beautiful days seemed to be just yesterday. Everyone was so downcast at that time, but aftertaste It looks so delicious.

Liu Bei has experienced too much in his age, and the beauty in his heart is fixed in Taoyuan, so it didn't resonate, but he still patiently stood by, while Lan Yuan and Liu Wan listened to their parents' stories quietly.

Before you knew it, it was evening, and General Chen Dao appeared at the gate of the palace. He clasped his fists and reported to Liu Bei, "Your Majesty, the reception banquet for General Lan is ready, and we have notified 200 civil and military officials as you requested. Take a seat in the main hall of the palace."

"It's okay, Ziyu, Boyang, let the younger brothers and sisters continue to chat with the queen, and I will introduce Chengdu officials to you father and son." Liu Bei stood up.

"200 people? I don't even know so many people, why do you need to work hard?" Lan Tian looked suspicious.

Liu Bei patted Lan Tian on the shoulder and said, "Shu people only hear about Ziyu's name, but not Ziyu's appearance. Today, let them open their eyes and see what kind of demeanor his left hand and right arm have."

"Your Majesty, this gift is too much." Lan Tian quickly clasped his fists and shook his head.

"Big man does his part, Ziyu has done so much for Gu, no matter how high the courtesy is, he can afford it, let's go, let the people of Shu meet Mr. Xuan Xiao who is Gu." Liu Bei's eyes were firm.

"Wei." Lan Tian clasped his fists and nodded.

Lan Tian and Lan Yuan bid farewell to Gan Qian and Lu Lingqi, and followed Liu Bei to the main hall of the palace. When the three stepped into the threshold of the main hall, the originally noisy hall instantly became quiet, and the dark crowd stood up like a tidal wave.

Liu Bei took Lan Tian to meet him with strange eyes, and the three of them walked forward and passed through the center of the main hall. Finally, Liu Bei let Lan Tian take the seat on the right, and Lan Yuan took the seat behind Lan Tian.

Liu Bei's actions cheered Lantian, because the prime minister Zhuge Liang was the second seat on the left, and the right general Zhang Fei was the third seat next to the vacant seat.

Lantian's Jiaozhou pastor and rear general were not enough to be the chief, so they stood still and did not sit down.

"Ziyu is a guest, please sit down, and I will introduce you to all the officials in Chengdu." Liu Bei lightly instructed Lantian to take a seat.

"Uh"

When Lan Tian was hesitating, Zhang Fei patted the soft seat on the right, and said with a smile: "Brother let you sit down, we two are close, we can have a few more drinks tonight."

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Lan Tian stretched his front, then knelt down by the desk.

Guangzhou has now completely abandoned kneeling and replaced it with bench seats that are more suitable for stretching the legs, but Yizhou still adopts the traditional sitting method because of the high mountains and far waters.

"Xingguo (Zhang Bao), why don't you say hello to your uncle and Brother Lan?" Zhang Fei gave the man behind him a harsh order with his eyes wide open.

Zhang Bao quickly stood up, clasped his fists and greeted in a rough voice: "Uncle, Brother Boyang, I haven't seen you for many years."

Zhang Fei took Zhang Bao to Quanling in his early years. At that time, he and Lan Yuan played with flooded ants. They hadn't seen each other for several years. Lan Tian found that the boy was as tall and burly as Zhang Fei, but his complexion was not as dark. He followed his mother, the Xiahou family.

Lan Tian nodded in greeting, and Lan Yuan got up to return the salute, saying, "Brother Xingguo."

Seeing this, Liu Bei stretched out his hand to stop him: "Ziyu and Yide don't reminisce about the past, Prime Minister, please introduce to Ziyu, the talented people from Sichuan who are here today."

"Wei." Zhuge Liang stood up upon hearing the order.
