Chapter 369 The Big Wedding
The fleet traveled in circles for ten days, and the gold coins flew back and forth in one day.

Liu Xinqi waited in Jeju Island for seven days, and the first batch of 100 officials transferred from Penglai arrived in Jeju Island.

After handing over the civil affairs of Jeju, the fleet set off again to Japan on April 28.

The previous troubles in Goryeo made Liu Xinqi realize the difficulty of colonization, and when he was resting in Jeju Island, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to make troubles in Japan.

The Xinghan Alliance has a long-term leased port on the south side of Tuuma Island outside Hepingdo City, which has now fully met the Xinghan Alliance's trade needs in Japan.

Liu Xinqi no longer intends to continue to expand overseas until the population of the mainland has not exploded and navigation technology has not developed by leaps and bounds.

The time spent at sea alone has offset more than half of the income.Moreover, in order to ensure the stability of overseas territories, investment must be made, which may seem to be beyond the means in the early stage.

With these manpower and material resources, it is better to focus on the mainland, Denglai, or even the Liaodong Peninsula. I believe that the income will definitely be much higher than overseas income.

After following the fleet to inspect the Xinghan Alliance's trade in Japan and finding that everything was in order, Liu Xinqi took time to accompany "Dabai" and finally returned to Penglai on May [-]th.

After returning to Penglai, Liu Xinqi began to prepare for his wedding.

Since he had already been engaged before, when he was preparing to get married at the beginning of the year, Liu Xinqi had already asked the elders and his mother in the clan to help him with the preliminary preparations for the wedding.

For his own wedding, Liu Xinqi's requirements are solemn but not extravagant, ensuring customs and decency while avoiding extravagance and waste.

Liu Xinqi is now the highest-ranking person in the Xinghan League. If he makes a bad start, the people below him will definitely follow his example. Therefore, in order to avoid "the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked", we can only be strict with ourselves and have our own requirements first. Start.

Fortunately, Master Shi Niang and Zhou Yue are both reasonable people, and Zhou Yue is not the kind of unreasonable woman, so she readily agreed to Liu Xinqi's suggestions.

When Zhou Yue listened to Liu Xinqi's explanation, she said to Liu Xinqi: I have already married the best man in the Xinghan League, even the best man in the world, and nothing else matters.

These words were really a compliment and Liu Xinqi was excited for several days.

Compared with the six major steps of the previous dynasty, the weddings of ordinary people in the Zhao Kingdom only retained the four procedures of nacai, naji, nazhi, and personal welcome. However, the practice of marrying a daughter-in-law and transferring assets appeared during the marriage negotiation.

Liu Xinqi and Zhou Yue were in love, had childhood sweethearts, and were childhood sweethearts. Naturally, they did not need the complicated process of negotiating a marriage. In the end, all the preliminary preparations were successfully completed before Liu Xinqi returned to Penglai.

June [-]st was the wedding day of Liu Xinqi and Zhou Yue.

First, he got up early in the morning before dawn. After everything was sorted, Liu Xinqi's identity changed from the leader of the alliance to the groom's official.

Liu Jiabao, a young man of the same age as Liu Xinqi and not much different in age, was finally able to let go of his burdens on Liu Xinqi's wedding day, treat Liu Xinqi as an ordinary person, and plan to have a good time.

The officials of the Xinghan League and the people of Penglai County also put down their work on this day, preparing to relax and relax together with Liu Xinqi's wedding.

Because Liu Xinqi made the announcement in advance, not many people were officially invited to attend Liu Xinqi's wedding. There were only relatives and friends of Liu Jiabao and some high-level officials in Penglai. The other officials did not allow them to attend and only gave them a day off. .

First, the eaves were raised. Liu Xinqi's wedding team set off from the research institute in the north of the city and began to march southward into the city. Along the way, there were people watching the excitement on both sides, and there was a sea of ​​festive people everywhere.

Luo Cheng had the foresight to make preparations with Liu Xinang and Liu Xinyuan in advance. The Fourth Field Regiment was mobilized to maintain order. There were sergeants lined up on both sides of the road to prevent the people from rushing into the wedding procession.

Liu Xinqi originally did not agree with the private use of public equipment, but his identities are different after all, and there is an auspicious time for marriage, if the auspicious time is delayed, it is not auspicious, so he did not stop him.After the welcoming team arrived at the woman's home, Zhou Xinyuan's reception followed, and all the young men who welcomed the bride were dressed in colorful satin.

Then there was fun and makeup was made, and the bride was welcomed out and got into the carriage.

At this time, the woman's entourage refused to leave, playing and clamoring for profit. This was similar to the custom of weddings in later generations. This was called "raising the eaves".

Liu Xinyuan and others could only take out the red envelopes and distribute them to the woman's entourage.

There was only one commemorative silver coin in the red envelope, which was worth about ten pounds of food stamps, so it was not expensive.

After the wedding procession returns to the entrance of the institute, the groom's entourage and relatives, friends and guests begin to ask for profit, money, gifts, bonuses, etc. This is called "blocking the door."The Zhou family had no relatives or friends in Liujiabao, so they were replaced by several older students from Zhou Xinyuan, who benefited from the man's accompanying relatives and friends.

The wedding room is located in a small courtyard near the gate outside the research institute. This courtyard is where Liu Xinqi rests and lives in the institute and is used as the wedding room for this wedding.The yard of Liu Xinqi's family in Penglai City is too small and not as big as this yard.

After the bride Zhou Yue got off the carriage, there were Yin and Yang officials holding buckets containing grains, beans, money, fruits, and grass knots. They chanted blessing spells and threw them toward the door. A large number of children and those watching the excitement ran away. Come over and compete to pick them up. This is called "throwing beans".

Zhou Yue got out of the carriage, performed etiquette such as crossing the saddle, stepped on the path paved with green cloth strips, and entered the courtyard gate

Next is the scarf.

Spread the tent.

Bundled bun.

Drink a cup of wine.

The wedding lasted until after noon.

Then Liu Xinqi left the wedding room and came to the open space at the port outside the courtyard. He thanked all the relatives and friends who came to the wedding and had a wedding banquet together.

According to Liu Xinqi's request, this wedding was not as solemn and solemn as the Zhao royal wedding. The whole process was like a common people's wedding, mainly lively.

It is not complicated and grand, but simplified, retaining only some traditional links that the world cares about.

It is closer to the ordinary wedding of later generations.

He might be laughed at by the gentry and lose his status, but Liu Xinqi didn't care. His identity was determined by his own rights, not by these superficial things.

After drinking, Liu Lisheng, Liu Lizhen and other elders of Liujiabao continued to greet relatives and friends, while Liu Xinqi returned to the wedding room.

A moment of spring night is worth a thousand dollars

Liu Xinqi didn't want to let Zhaohua down.

Zhou Yue is less than 20 years old, and it is not recommended to get married and have children in future generations.However, both of them have military commander cards to enhance their physical fitness, so having sex in the same room will not affect them.As for how to avoid having children, as a later generation, Liu Xinqi has many ways.
