Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 250 244. Marriage
On the other hand, the people in central Sichuan have been dealing with the rebellion of Meng Huo and his gang since mid-autumn, and it has been almost a month and a half, and Jingzhou is about to face a major event.

Feng Xi is getting married.

Before Old Liu died, he had arranged a marriage for him. Faced with this feudal arranged marriage, Feng Xi had no choice but to accept it.

And because of Old Liu's mourning period, and the fact that the six rituals were not a big deal for Feng Xi and the Guan family, it was finally scheduled for three months later, which is now.

Feng Xi's immediate family members were all in central Sichuan, and his parents had passed away long ago, so there was no one older than him who could take charge of the situation. So Feng Xi went to his hometown in Nanjun and found a capable elder to be his own elder.

The situation on the Guan family's side was simple. Mrs. Hu was still there, or it could be said that Mrs. Hu had not returned to Sichuan with Guan Xing just for the sake of this wedding.

It is October now, and although it is warm in Jingzhou, the autumn wind is still bleak. However, today Jiangling City is decorated with lights and is bustling.

As Feng Xi was the commander-in-chief of the army, his marriage was naturally a big event, so the whole Jiangling city was bustling with activity, as if it were a festival.

On the street, public servants dressed in festive red clothes distributed malt sugar to the children running back and forth, making countless children happier than during the Chinese New Year.

Guan Yinping's dowry was delivered to the Feng Mansion two days ago, and their wedding room has also been prepared. All that's left is for Feng Xi to go and pick up the bride in person today.

Feng Xi had a rare insomnia last night, just like a primary school student who was going on a spring outing the next day. He didn't know whether he was excited, or nervous, but he hardly slept because of so many things on his mind.

Marriage is a major life event that he has never experienced before in his two lifetimes, so it is inevitable that he feels a surge of emotion.

However, as a warrior, Feng Xi was not affected much by not sleeping all night. He still finished dressing up, changed into a red robe, put on a crown, and with the help of servants, hung up the colorful decorations on his body. For the first time, he was helped to mount the tall white horse that he usually rode for show, and led the wedding procession to the Guan family in high spirits.

There was no trouble along the way. Jiangling was Guan Yu's former base camp, and the local people respected Guan Junhou very much. Today was also a good day for the eldest daughter of the Guan family, so no one was so blind as to deliberately cause trouble.

When the wedding procession arrived at the gate of Guan's house, Guan Xing, also dressed in bright red, was already standing at the gate. His face was serious today, and his pupils were filled with emotions such as happiness, relief, and worry, like a big dye vat.

Seeing Feng Xi coming, Guan Xing, as the current head of the Guan family, naturally went up to greet Feng Xi in person.

"Grand Commander, no, Xiu Yuan, today as a brother, I ask you to be kind to my sister. Wei Zhi has already returned to Sichuan, so I don't have to worry about her. But my sister will stay in Jingzhou with you in the future, and I will be out of reach. If my sister loses her temper or acts willfully in the future, I hope Xiu Yuan will be tolerant."

Now Guan Xing is Feng Xi's brother-in-law. From a personal point of view, it is reasonable for him to give Feng Xi some explanations.

That is to say, Feng Xi was the commander-in-chief. If he was an ordinary general, he would probably be like "If you dare to bully my sister, be careful or I will beat you so hard that you can't get out of bed."

"Don't worry, An Guo. Yin Ping and I have been childhood sweethearts. How could I not know her personality?"

Feng Xi exchanged a few polite words with Guan Xing and said a few nice words. Guan Xing then stopped pestering him and let Feng Xi go, allowing him to go inside and marry Guan Yinping.

Fortunately, the Guan family is a military family, and Guan Yinping is better at using swords and guns than needlework, so Guan Yinping didn't do anything like "you can't enter the house if you don't recite this poem", but left happily with Feng Xi.

The wedding procession returned to Feng's house with a lot of noise. According to the rules, today's wedding was the ceremony of marriage, and tomorrow they had to meet the parents of both parties to perform the ceremony of marriage.

However, the situations of both families are somewhat special, so the ceremony of becoming a bride was completed at the same time when entertaining guests today.

When Feng Xi returned to the mansion with the wedding procession, the elders of the Hu and Feng families and the officials of Jingzhou were already waiting for the bride and groom to arrive at the banquet. Feng Xi and Guan Yinping, who was supported by the maid and covered with a veil, walked into the hall. As the host, Feng Xi naturally had to socialize with the guests.

"Gong Heng, I am so busy with my duties on weekdays. I am sorry to trouble you to come here today."

"Ji Chang, we rejoice together."

Feng Xi and this group of core officials of Jingzhou were celebrating, with an attitude of "eating and drinking well", appearing to be having a great time, both the host and the guests.

"The auspicious time has arrived, the bride and groom are meeting their parents."

After a while of socializing, the originally bustling banquet suddenly became quiet with the host's shout. Feng Xi and Guan Yinping both walked towards the Hu and Feng family elders at the top with some trembling.

Naturally, this was the first time for both of them to get married, so it would be unrealistic not to feel excited and scared when facing this most critical moment in their lives.

"Worship heaven and earth."

Feng Xi and Guan Yinping bowed three times respectfully towards heaven and earth.

"Two thanks to the high hall."

The two then turned around and knelt down to pay respect to the Hu family and the Feng family elders. This was done by Feng Xi considering the Guan family's situation. After all, bowing or kneeling was theoretically fine, but kneeling was still more respectful.

As for the matchmaker, Lao Liu had been gone for several months, so there was no need to thank him, so they went straight to the stage of greeting each other.

"The husband and wife bow to each other and send them to the bridal chamber."

After the two bowed to each other, Guan Yinping was supported by the maid and returned to the bridal chamber first. As the Grand Commander and the host, Feng Xi naturally could not follow him into the bridal chamber now, but had to socialize with the guests outside.

Many Jingzhou officials also knew that today was a happy day, and they deliberately wanted to get Feng Xi to drink two more cups. However, Feng Xi had anticipated this, and he did not take out the distilled liquor or fruit wine he had prepared before, but used ordinary rice wine.

To Feng Xi, these low-alcohol rice wines were no different from drinking water, so he entertained guests from morning to dusk, drinking a thousand cups like a god of war.

The sun was about to set and the guests tactfully said their goodbyes. Feng Xi had nothing to do except that his face turned slightly red. He even discussed some official business in a clear and orderly manner with Huang Quan and others.

"call……"

After everyone had left, Feng Xi let out a breath. The servants would take care of the banquet, and he walked towards the bridal chamber with somewhat stiff steps.

"Ah, my son-in-law is here. Hehehe, miss, I'll leave first."

The maid who was accompanying Guan Yinping saw Feng Xi enter the room, chuckled and left the room, leaving Guan Yinping sitting on the bed with a red veil under the candlelight.

Feng Xi calmed himself down and saw that Guan Yinping was trembling just like him.
