Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

"Why, Ye'er, are you interested in small things like these pulleys?"

Asking Ye'er curiously, Zhang Yan also felt that he was no longer sleepy all of a sudden, and his whole body was propped up with his elbows, trying to sit up from the bed.

Seeing Zhang Yan's appearance, Ye'er pushed Zhang Yan back to the bed just like a conditioned reflex before she could answer.

"Master, be good, lie down and don't move around."

Carefully tucking up the quilt that had been lifted up before, feeling Zhang Yan's burning gaze, and knowing that the other party no longer had any sleepiness at this time, Ye'er thought about it for a while, and sat down peacefully. Leaving Zhang Yan's bedside, he whispered to the other party.

"Well, if I really want to say it, I'm probably not interested in the pulley itself, but I'm just a little curious about why this tool can save half of the force and lift the heavy object directly."

"In contrast, Ye'er is somewhat interested in what those specific tools look like, but she doesn't seem to have any obvious feelings."

Hesitantly whispered to Zhang Yan, Ye'er was also a little unsure whether he was interested in things like pulleys, or simply because he had never seen similar tools before, so a trace of curiosity arose. .

On the other hand, after seeing Ye'er's appearance, Zhang Yan didn't care about what was there, but just patted the back of Ye'er's hand lightly, making a decision directly in his heart.

"Well, Ye'er, if you want to simply explain these things, it's not too easy."

"You wait for a while. After we arrive at Lujiang, Master, I will find an opportunity to search for some books about natural phenomena and strange crafts for you to read."

"And during this period of time, if you are interested in something, you can tell the master anytime, anywhere, and I will answer as much as I can for you."

Smiling, he said to Ye'er, it can be said that the first time he learned that the other party seemed to have some interest in the direction of natural science, Zhang Yan had already made a decision, no matter how much fame it cost, he would treat Ye'er as much as possible. interest to be cultivated.

Unlike when he entrusted books such as "Scientific Experiments and Recording Methods" and "Ten Books of Suanjing", Zhang Yan had some investment psychology in his heart for Ma Jun and others, and for Ye'er, who was in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Among the few family members, Zhang Yan has more unconditional support in his heart.

Not to mention these things, even if Ye'er can't understand them thoroughly in the future, there are countless scholars and common people in the Lujiang area, who will eventually make these enlightenment books come in handy.

Even if Ye'er really asked him for something extremely expensive and extravagant but without any practical significance, as long as it didn't hurt some innocent people, Zhang Yan would be willing to pay for it.

If one day in the future, Ye'er tells him that he is no longer interested in these things, then Zhang Yan can at least send all the books exchanged into the big library that will definitely be built in Lujiang in the future.

And if Ye'er can finish reading it, it is very likely that at a certain time in the future, there will be another helper beside him that even he can't imagine.

Chapter 58 What Should Come Sooner or Later

In this way, the time soon came to the sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar in 188 AD. This was also the time when Emperor Lingdi Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty bestowed marriage on Zhang Yan. Perfect for a wedding day.

As the bride of the wedding, Qiao Ying was born in the fifth year of Xiping, that is, in 176 AD. Therefore, in order to avoid the so-called "strangling of life", the other party whose birthday is a dragon needs to get married within the next two years as much as possible. Otherwise, if you get married in the next four consecutive years, you will break your own life, and cause you to "become a beam" after marriage and suffer a lot.

For a long time, the auspicious days for marriage in China have always been said to avoid "three", "seven", and "nine", and to avoid the three festivals of Qingming, Zhongyuan, and Hanyi related to sacrifices to avoid evil, so these six days The sixth day of the first month became the last auspicious day in June that Zhang Yan, who was eager to set off for Lujiang, could catch up in a short period of time.

Unlike the servants in the small courtyard who are busily preparing for the wedding these days, Zhang Yan, as the master, can say that the more time approaches his wedding day, the more he can't restrain himself Nervous and trembling.

And when the time finally came to the sixth day of June, Zhang Yan pulled Ye'er up from the bed even before the sky was completely bright.

……

"Ye'er, Ye'er, help me to see, is there anything wrong with my body?"

Wearing a gorgeous black-bottomed and yellow-edged robe, Zhang Yan got up early this morning and changed into the royal wedding dress that had been prepared long ago. He kept looking at himself in front of him.

Behind him, Ye'er was yawning with a trace of exhaustion on his face. While comforting Zhang Yan in a low voice, he skillfully groomed Zhang Yan with a horn comb.

As early as last night, because Zhang Yan's wedding was approaching, he felt a little nervous, so in order to accompany his master, Ye'er also stayed by Zhang Yan's bed for almost a night without sleep. At this time, he inevitably felt a little tired.

But now seeing that the other party is wearing a full set of gorgeous wedding dress, although he is a little nervous, but there is a hint of anticipation in his eyes, Ye'er has to say that he is really happy for Zhang Yan , and at the same time can deeply understand the faint tension and intolerable feeling in Zhang Yan's heart.

Although Ye'er felt an unspeakable sense of frustration in her heart after learning of Zhang Yan's wedding date at the very beginning, but after helping Zhang Yan in the past few days, she fell She also gradually accepted the fact that her master was about to get married.

After all, no matter what, Zhang Yan also made a promise to her that he would accept her as his concubine when the time was right.

And as a maid from an ordinary family, to be able to get such a promise from her master, in fact, there is no place for her to have any extravagant thoughts.

According to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, even if the status of a prince like Zhang Yan enjoys the status of a prince in terms of basic necessities of life, but in terms of marriage, he can still only have one wife and eight concubines like ordinary princes, and there is no way to be like the Han prince. Enjoy the high-standard treatment of the first empress, third wife, and nine concubines like that.

But now that Zhang Yan's official wife has already been decided, getting the status of a concubine can almost be said to be the ultimate goal that Ye'er can pursue, not one of them.

Gently tucking Zhang Yan's half-length hair that had just been washed and dried into the wig, Ye'er casually took a wig from the side and put it on top of Zhang Yan's head, and then tied it according to the rules of adult men when traveling He also put on the nine-pronged crown bestowed by Hanling Emperor Liu Hong firmly.

On the other side, Zhang Yan stood in front of the bronze mirror with some excitement and turned around to look at his own appearance. Then he sat back on the bed with satisfaction and let the other party do whatever he wanted on his face.

"It looks okay, it doesn't have the rather stiff feeling in the costume dramas of later generations, on the contrary, this crown matches my face shape quite well, it looks a lot more solemn, and the face doesn't have the old days. The youthful feeling in it."

"I just don't know if my fiancée's appearance will be different from before?"

In my heart, I am eagerly looking forward to the interaction between the two on a series of weddings in the near future. Even if I have already prepared in my heart, as long as I think of the exquisite and extremely delicate expression of Qiao Ying that I saw a few days ago Zhang Yan still couldn't help but feel a throbbing in his heart.

In addition to this excitement and excitement, a sense of tension inevitably spread to Zhang Yan's whole body, which made him feel a little trembling and his hands and feet were cold.

What's exciting is that, as a 25... no, now 26-year-old adult man, Zhang Yan is still married for the first time in two lifetimes, so he is naturally a bit depressed about this wedding, especially the second half of the wedding. Live with a sense of anticipation.

And this excitement is naturally because of his marriage this time, and the marriage partner is Qiao Ying, the second daughter of Jiang Dongqiao's family, a famous show at the end of Han Dynasty who he has singled out for countless years, and finally got it alone.

If it is said that the most rare thing in this world, the marriage of lovers can definitely be said to be one of the best among them, or at least it can be said to be among the best.

Needless to say, Zhang Yan's one-sided affection for the other party, just judging from the previous contact between the two, Zhang Yan also felt that the other party didn't seem to hate him.

If he and Qiao Ying can really get together, then for Zhang Yan, it is inevitable that he has fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

It's just that when he thought of the stupid things he did because of being drunk a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel a bit of coolness rushing to his limbs and bones, and at the same time, a bit of tension grew in his heart.

"I really want to be Miss Qiao Ying's dog..."

I silently recalled what I learned from Ye'er in the past few days, about my embarrassment after being drunk, even Zhang Yan, who was already quite shameless in a certain sense, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed , At the same time, I don't know what the other party will think about my remarks.

And although Ye'er comforted him in every possible way and said that the drunken slip of the tongue was not a big deal, but after he really said that sentence, Zhang Yan still felt a little afraid to face Qiao Ying.

It’s just that no matter how hard you dare to face it, you have to come to understand things sooner or later. Therefore, after staying in the room until noon, Zhang Yan also went out, and began to order among the servants, preparing to go out in the next afternoon. Pick up work around three o'clock.

While Zhang Yan was about to meet the bride, Qiao Ying on the other side was also tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, looking quite flustered.

Chapter 59 The Situation on the Other Side

"Jin'er, does my complexion look bad? Should I make this makeup heavier?"

On the other side, when Zhang Yan was preparing to pick up the bride, Qiao Ying was also sitting in front of the dressing table in a panic, asking Qiao Jin, the maid she brought to Luoyang with her, to help her touch up her makeup.

Last night, she was nervous all night because of today's wedding, and she didn't have a good rest. It was inevitable that she had two faint black eye circles on her delicate cheeks.

Standing beside Qiao Ying, Qiao Jin was fiddling with all kinds of makeup tools in her hands, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless about her young master's behavior.

During this morning, Qiao Ying has been studying how to look beautiful almost since she woke up. Even this eye makeup is begging Qiao Jin to help her put it on again, but she is still a little dissatisfied look like.

And on the big bed next to it, there was a luxurious black pure dress neatly placed, and a bright light yellow lining.

I saw that the pure clothes were extremely exquisite in workmanship, and the whole was made of silk, with some pictures of phoenix and black birds embroidered on it for decoration, which symbolized the beautiful meaning of the harmony of the phoenix and the song.And turning her head from time to time to take a peek at her wedding dress, Qiao Ying's face couldn't help showing a shy look.

In the nights of the previous few days, because she couldn't hold back her inner curiosity, after hearing that Zhang Yan led the team back, Qiao Ying secretly disguised herself as a man with her maid and sneaked into the meeting held by Zhang Yan. The interior of a banquet used to celebrate his becoming a marquis, intending to secretly see what his future husband looks like from a distance, and whether it is really the unformed general of the Han family in the past Old and ugly as said.

And that night, Qiaoying not only got her wish to see Zhang Yan's appearance, but also made contact with him for the first time without any preparation.

From an overall point of view, Qiao Ying's impression from this first contact with Zhang Yan is naturally extremely satisfactory, at least much better than the situation she was worried about before.

It's just that even though Qiao Ying performed well in front of the other party that night, when she returned to her residence, she inevitably became a little shy.

After all, unlike Zhang Yan who can be busy preparing for these days, as a woman, she needs to stay in her residence behind closed doors during the week before marriage, or even half a month before marriage. intention to avoid suspicion.

As for the situation where she met her husband before marriage that day, it may be said that in the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, marriages of aristocratic families have not happened a few times.

From her personal point of view, it is naturally a good thing for Qiao Ying to have a preliminary understanding of her fiancé's personality before marriage, and to know some information at the same time.

But from the perspective of a daughter of the patriarch of the Jiangdong gentry, Qiao Ying's previous behavior inevitably brought her a sense of rebellion and novelty that she had never had before.

She squeezed her palms nervously, Qiao Ying only felt that although her hands were cold, there was a slight trace of sweat, which made her feel a little flustered in her heart.

As soon as she thinks that her fiancé will come here to take her back to the other's home in a while, Qiao Ying can't help but feel her limbs trembling slightly.

After all, getting married was a once-in-a-lifetime event for most people in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but anyone who was not a fool would naturally be extremely concerned about their marriage.

And because her husband is not only a well-known son in Luoyang City, but also one of the few capable princes in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Qiao Ying is not only nervous, but also breeds some expectations in herself heart.

During these days, Qiao Ying, who did not go out to show her face, learned some information about Zhang Yan from her maid, and knew that the other party was a courtier who was loved by Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Ling, but she was limited by Qiao Ying. The level of people Jin came into contact with was not high, so Qiao Ying only knew that the other party was a first-class prince, but did not know where the other party's fiefdom was.

Thinking that after getting married, she would need to go back to the fief to worship the ancestors with her husband, and at the same time live in a brand-new place, Qiaoying, who had finally gotten acquainted with the customs and customs of Luoyang, inevitably felt a little worried about it.

And just between this kind of faint worry and anticipation, time quietly passed by bit by bit.

At most one more hour will pass before Qiaoying's long-awaited wedding ceremony. According to the wedding records in Zhou Lizhong, as the groom, Zhang Yan will set off from his home and arrive at his present place at dusk. residence.

And after inviting himself into the carriage, it is convenient for him to change to a horse and return home first, and at the same time, he will take the carriage to accept the blessings offered to him by the people in Luoyang City.

After arriving at the destination in a horse-drawn carriage, the two newlyweds will follow the requirements of the ceremony officer to carry out ceremonies that are quite romantic and contain beautiful meanings.

And at the last moment of this ceremony, the two newcomers meet and get to know each other in the new house.

Different from what is recorded in many novels, in the Han Dynasty, when the officials held a wedding, they would not hold a banquet on the wedding day to entertain the guests from all over the world. Pay special attention to this point, even the whole wedding process will not be as loud and lively as the weddings in the Tang and Song Dynasties in the future, but there is a sense of silence and solemnity in it.

And after the husband and wife become one to form a family, it will be on the second day of the evening ceremony, after the husband and wife sacrifice to the ancestors and ancestors, a banquet will be held to entertain all the guests who came to the wedding.

As some ordinary people think, at the wedding scene, the parents of both parties meet and greet each other, etc., in fact, they will not appear in the orthodox Han Dynasty wedding.This is nothing more than the reason why a woman is married and obeys her husband, and after welcoming her into the car, she is a member of her husband's family.

And precisely because of this, even though Qiaoying's parents are still far away in Lujiang, apart from being unable to come to the banquet, it does not have much impact on the holding of the wedding ceremony.

Chapter 60 The Wedding Finally Begins

Time passed bit by bit, but Qiao Ying still looked a little dissatisfied with her state, and swayed from time to time in front of the bronze mirror, constantly looking at herself in the mirror.

After carefully looking at the delicate makeup on Qiao Ying's face, Qiao Jin was finally convinced that the other party's state was perfect at the moment, and then put a series of tools in her hand on the table.

"Okay, okay, young master, don't worry, you are very beautiful now, not to mention that Mr. Zhang, even if you find a makeup girl who is proficient in makeup, you will definitely not be able to find any flaws on your face. "

Carelessly comforting Qiao Ying, Qiao Jin finally saw the other party's skeptical look at the moment, so she simply put away all the tools on the table, and at the same time moved the bronze mirror to Qiao Ying's place for her to resist. Watch it up close.

After carefully looking at herself in the mirror, Qiao Ying breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing to adjust, and then turned her attention to other things.

"Jin'er, help me change my clothes."

Softly gave instructions to the maid beside her. Seeing that Qiao Jin had drawn the curtains in front of the window, Qiao Ying stood up from the dressing table, and at the same time carefully took off her clothes, trying not to hide them as much as possible. To touch the rather complicated Linlang hair accessories that affected his head.

And as the clothes slipped off her body, Qiao Ying's somewhat youthful but incomparably delicate body was completely exposed to the air.

Under the slender neck, the girl's unique smooth skin exudes a little bit of gleam. In the room without light source, it is like perfect ceramics, and there is no trace of blemishes and defects.

And her gaze followed her chest all the way down, and after inspecting her slightly undulating curve, Qiao Ying finally fixed her gaze on that flat and smooth belly.

"Well... it's okay, there's nothing out of shape."

Gently hugging her chest with her hands, Qiao Ying turned around in front of the bronze mirror like this, and at the same time carefully looked at every detail of her body.

And when she finally confirmed that the girl's curves were not out of shape, Qiao Ying stood up straight in front of the mirror, then raised her hands, and carefully checked her armpits.
