Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 198 Special bride price
When Yuan Xi took out the third wild goose, everyone present couldn't hold back.

What is coming prepared?
At this moment, Liu He felt that he would not be dragged down by joining forces with Yuan Xi. After all, the other party's actions were so clean and neat, and they possessed the essence of the art of war.

If you don't care about face.

But for Liu He, apart from the six ceremonies of marriage, he was required to participate in all the other links except for the wedding reception. Now that Yuan Xi has done everything in one go, it has saved a lot of trouble.

In fact, the strict six ceremonies are based on the etiquette system of the Zhou Dynasty. It was strictly enforced among the gentry in the Han Dynasty. Every step has cumbersome etiquette.

So in fact, today's affairs are quite careless. If it spreads out, it will not only be criticized, but also the elders of the family will not look good.

But Yuan Xi has no taboos now, he is an orphan after he adopts, and if he loses it, he will lose face of the Yuan family, which doesn't matter to him at all.

If Yuan Shang made a fuss about this, Yuan Xi would spread the word that he was forced by Yuan Shang to see who could afford to lose this person.

Liu He sighed secretly, as the son of Zongzheng of the Han Dynasty, it would be enough to lose face to the clan if he did such a thing, but he was willing to do this because he had Yuan Xi's promise.

To avenge Liu Yu.

The two culprits who killed Liu Yu were Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan was dead and Yuan Shu was left.

Liu He avenged his father out of filial piety, so he joined forces with Yuan Xi without much hesitation.

But Liu He didn't know that there was actually another reason why Yuan Xi worked so hard to befriend Liu He besides Youzhou.

Liu Yu is a native of Tancheng in the East China Sea, and has a very high prestige in the local area.

Tancheng in the East China Sea in the early Han Dynasty is now the Tancheng of Xiapi.

Seeing Yuan Xi hand over the third wild goose to Huan's hands, Liu He knew that the marriage was settled.

He glanced at the box behind Yuan Xi, and thought to himself that this dowry is just a box, which seems a bit shabby.

Only Mrs. Zhang understands that the hundred carts of goods Yuan Xi sent earlier was actually a dowry gift, and today it was just for show.

But she was also very curious, what exactly is Yuan Xi's symbolic dowry box today?
Seeing that all the pre-wedding ceremonies were finished, everyone was relieved and went out one after another.

Yuan Xi's subordinates were waiting outside the house. Zhao Yun Taishi Ci was tall and straight, standing like a pine tree, like two door gods guarding the door.

Guo Jia was leaning on the carriage, chatting with Sun Li, and he was very wary of himself according to Sun Li's eyes, wondering: "I think you are a talented kid, and I want to teach you some military skills. , why do you keep avoiding me?"

Sun Li snorted coldly: "Although you are a son and sergeant, I feel that your heart is not right!"

Guo Jia laughed when he heard that, "I am a military adviser, of course I have a strategy in mind, and I have many ideas in my heart, but it has nothing to do with my heart."

Sun Li shook his head and said, "Is that what I'm talking about? Every time Mr. meets my mother, the look in his eyes is quite sneaky. He really doesn't look like a gentleman!"

Sun Li spoke in a loud voice, and when he made a sound, all the servants in Zhen's residence looked over.

Guo Jia's face froze, "What did you say, your mother is outstanding, and everyone has a love for beauty. I just took a few more glances, and I have absolutely no other thoughts."

Sun Li sneered, as if you were lying to someone.

Guo Jia shook his head helplessly, and said: "I heard your mother talk very well. I heard that she is from Fufeng County?"

"Is it the same clan as the Fufeng Ma family?"

Sun Li looked vigilant, "My mother didn't tell me, don't hit my mother, or I'll sue you!"

Guo Jia sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it, I really want to teach you how to fight like a donkey."

"You don't even think about it, can you be a personal guard by the young master's side for the rest of your life?"

"No matter how good your martial arts are, how many people can you kill on the battlefield?"

"Killing a few people is a warrior, and commanding thousands of people in battle is the enemy of thousands of people."

Sun Li snorted and said, "You are secretly belittling Big Brother Zhao and Big Brother Taishi, not a gentleman."

"No," Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Do you really think they don't understand the art of war?"

"Forget it, when will you figure it out, come to me when."

Sun Li still wanted to speak, but saw the main hall door slowly open, and everyone hurriedly got up and went over to wait.

Zhang Shi came out first, and she invited Huan Shi and Liu He out sideways.

Then everyone saw that Yuan Xi walked out slowly side by side with a stunning girl.

The moment everyone saw the girl, they knew that this was Zhen Mi whom Yuan Xi was going to marry.

Sun Li's eyes were straightened. He had been in Yecheng for a while, and he had met many noble women on the street, but none of them could compare to Zhen Mi.

Guo Jia sighed: "I understand that the young master has a lot of calculations, and he didn't hesitate to fall out with the Yuan family and marry the girl from the Zhen family. It's really worth it."

Yuan Xi looked at the crowd and said, "My marriage with the girl has been finalized."

When everyone heard this, they were naturally overjoyed and congratulated one after another.

However, Yuan Xi's next sentence made them very upset.

"Tomorrow, we will welcome our relatives and get married."

Guo Jia thought that this motherfucker is too fast, the art of war says that soldiers are expensive and fast, young master, this is not only fast, it is like sailing the surging river, riding the wind and flowing, thousands of miles a day.

A smile appeared on his face, the young master is obviously lustful, just like himself, but with higher vision!

As a result, Yuan Xi's next sentence made Guo Jia unable to laugh.

"There are a lot of things to prepare for the wedding, and time is tight. I hope Mr. Feng Xiao can arrange it for me."

Guo Jia just wanted to yell, "There are so many things about getting married, you let me take care of it in one day?"
Zhao Yuntai Shici said: "We are also here to help."

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "That's the way to trouble everyone, now there is only half a day left, the princes should go back to the mansion first to prepare."

"I'll go back later."

Knowing that time was running out, everyone hurried back, leaving only Zhang Shi and Yuan Xizhenmi on the field.

Mrs. Zhang coughed, "I'm a little tired, so I'm leaving."

She thought in her heart that there was no manners or manners, and now that her daughter was adopted by others, she couldn't take care of this mess anymore.

After Mrs. Zhang left, Yuan Xicai took Zhen Mi's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work today."

Only then did Zhen Mi relax, almost unable to stand still, she leaned against Yuan Xi for a while before recovering, and said softly: "It's okay, I can still hold on."

The two walked towards the small building. On the way, Zhen's mansion was already busy. Hundreds of servants were all mobilized, and big boxes were carried out one by one to prepare the dowry for Zhen Mi's wedding tomorrow.

The two sat in front of the window of the small building, with half of their heads exposed, looking at the bustling streets of Yecheng below.

Smelling the fragrance from Zhen Mi's body, Yuan Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help stretching out his arms and wrapping his arms around Zhen Mi's slender waist.

Zhen Mi's body trembled, and then she lightly rested her head on Yuan Xi's shoulder.

The two remained silent, just enjoying the rare tranquility.

After a while, Yuan Xicai said, "Beixin City has a population of tens of thousands, and it's just a small border town. It's far inferior to Yecheng, which has a population of 10."

"If you follow, you may not get used to it for a long time."

"And it's not the last place to stay. Maybe in the next few years or more than ten years, you will have to travel around with me, eat and sleep in the open, and you will have to suffer a lot."

Zhen Mi said softly: "Isn't that what my concubine expects?"

"If I stay in Yecheng, the young master will have more headaches, right?"

Yuan Xi listened, and said with a smile: "That's true, especially Yuan Shang, in order to force me to submit, he acted like a mangy dog. I very much doubt whether he is mentally ill."

Zhen Mi laughed out loud: "I know mangy dogs. If you look here, you can often see them in the streets. They have mottled fur and run around barking endlessly. They look a lot like Mr. Yuan Shang today."

Hearing Zhen Mi's tone, Yuan Xi also had a lot of resentment towards Yuan Shang, and said with a smile: "It's okay, there will always be a chance to return it in the future, but we and my wife played doubles together and beat him like a pig's head."

Zhen Mi couldn't help laughing out loud, blushed again, and said angrily, "You can only be called a couple when you get married tomorrow."

"Young master agreed to my concubine, and I will take my concubine to see all the scenery in the world."

Yuan Xi had mixed feelings in his heart, and he had finally come to this point.

A woman like Zhen Mi did not deserve such a tragic end in later generations.

In this life, I must completely cut off this tragic thread of fate.

He raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky.

Although it was already winter at this time, it was extraordinarily warm because of the severe cold and the warm sun.

He sniffed the fragrance from Zhen Mi's hair, and said, "Life is only a few decades, if you live in a mediocre way, there are actually not many things you can do."

"But in today's chaotic world, the world is in turmoil, and you may encounter unprecedented new things every day."

"100 years is too short, seize the day."

Zhen Mi said softly: "The concubine also wants to live to be a hundred years old with the young master, and see the whole world together."

Yuan Xi laughed: "The world is so big, I'm afraid I can't see it all in 100 years."

Zhen Mi asked curiously, "Really?"

"I only heard that there is the Western Region, where the land is full of gravel. To the south of the Han Dynasty, there is Annan Siam. On the coast of the East China Sea, I heard that there is the Penglai Fairy Mountain. Beyond the Northland is a wild snowy sea."

Yuan Xiqi said: "You know quite a lot, but for this world, these are only a very small part."

"There are seas overseas, and mountains beyond mountains. This world is much wider than what everyone knows now."

When Zhen Mi heard this, her eyes lit up a little, and then she fell down sadly: "Unfortunately, I don't know how long it will take for the world to be peaceful. By then, I don't know if I still have the strength to walk."

She asked curiously, "Young master, what's in the dowry box?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Do you want to watch it now?"

Zhen Mi nodded, called a servant, and went to the mansion to bring the box up.

The two knelt in front of the box, Yuan Xi flipped the lock, and the lid snapped open.

The two joined forces and lifted the lid of the box together.

What caught the eye was not gold and silver treasures, but an ordinary bunch of firewood, a pile of neatly stacked porcelain vases, and a map.

Firewood as a dowry gift means that the Han Dynasty followed the Qin system and used the salary to obtain a strong relationship between husband and wife.

Seeing the different shapes of firewood logs, Zhen Mi wondered, "This is it?"

Yuan Xi said aloud: "This is the firewood and sand that I collect every time I go."

"From Qingzhou to Yanzhou, from Youzhou to Xuzhou, I would break off branches, take sand from bottles, and bring them back into boxes."

"I hope that in the near future, we can do such things together. Even if we are separated temporarily, I will bring these things back to you."

Zhen Mi was moved in her heart, and said softly: "Young master has a very special idea for taking firewood and soil."

Yuan Xi thought, maybe it's because he was a civil dog in his previous life?
