Chapter 50 Getting married

Dian Wei didn't say much, nodded, bowed to Xi Zhicai again, and left.

After Dian Wei left, Xi Zhicai said, "Is that... Mr. Zhao whose name I only heard about?"

Xi Zhicai is quite tall, but thin, with a slightly pale complexion and a slender appearance.

He is a good friend of Xun Yu and a native of Yingchuan. Not long after he was recommended to Cao Mengde by Xun Yu.

Xi Zhicai is good at military strategy and is highly praised by Cao Mengde, but after all, he has not yet achieved any merit, so he has not yet been appointed to an official position. He temporarily stays with Cao Mengde to advise on military affairs.

Many Xi Zhicai have heard about Zhao Yu, but have never seen him. Furthermore, because I have just joined the Cao Mengde Group and have not yet come into contact with the core things, I don't understand why Zhao Yu has such a big reputation.

Xun Yu gently closed the invitation, nodded and said with a smile: "It's Mr. Zhao Yuzhao."

Then he said: "This Mr. Zhao is extraordinary. In the eyes of the Lord, his status is unparalleled."

"Is it?"

Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "In that case, the invitations have been sent, why doesn't Wen Ruo go?"

Xun Yu said: "It is precisely because Mr. Zhao's status in my lord's mind is unmatched that he dare not have a close friendship with him."

Xi Zhicai laughed: "You just think too much."

He took the invitation and said, "You don't want it, I want it. I'm just going to see where this Mr. Zhao is."

Xun Yu smiled and said nothing.

Dian Wei returned to the Prefectural Mufu and reported to Cao Mengde: "Neither Mr. Gongtai nor Mr. Wenruo are going."

Cao Mengde said: "Why don't you go?"

Dian Wei said: "Mr. Gongtai said he was too busy, but Mr. Wenruo said that if the master goes, he can't go."

Cao Mengde narrowed his eyes slightly, twisted his beard and chuckled: "Well, I understand."

Cao Mengde probably knew what Chen Gongtai was thinking. One thing is Xu and Zhao Yu, there is still some thorn in my heart. The second reason is that Chen Gong was quite unhappy with Cao Mengde's administrative methods during this period. And Chen Gong knew that Zhao Yu's methods were involved.

As for Xun Yu, Cao Mengde admired him from the bottom of his heart.

Just as Xun Yu said, because Zhao Yu has an unparalleled status in Cao Mengde's heart, Cao Mengde does not want anyone to get too close to Zhao Yu.

Xun Yu is a sensible person.

As for other people, many probably would not have thought of this. Of course, Cao Mengde won't care about people who don't expect this.

So when it comes to people’s hearts, it’s really strange.

A new family member arrived, and Cao Mengde held a banquet in the evening. After a delicious meal, Cao Mengde called Cao Ang to the study alone.

Cao Ang is the eldest son of Cao Mengde and was born to his concubine, Mrs. Liu. Unfortunately, Mrs. Liu died young and was raised by his original wife, Mrs. Ding.

Although Cao Ang is only thirteen years old, he is tall and looks quite mature. At a young age, he is smart and steady, and is deeply loved by Cao Mengde.

"Tomorrow I will go to Taihe Villa. Ang'er will become Mr. Zhao's teacher. Under Mr. Zhao, I must study hard and not let my father down, do you understand?"

"Yes." Cao Ang nodded vigorously: "Ang'er knows, father."

"It's good to know." Cao Mengde touched his eldest son's head and sighed: "Mr. Zhao is not a mortal. If you follow him, you can learn many, many useful things. You must respect Mr. Zhao and do not be disobedient."

"What if sir is wrong?" Cao Ang said, "Do you want to listen too?"

When Cao Mengde heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "How do you know what is right and what is wrong, a child with a yellow mouth? As a father, I dare not say that I know where Mr. Zhao is wrong. Mr. Zhao is an unparalleled scholar, extraordinary and refined, with millions in his belly. Just study hard and look good. Remember not to be too naughty! If your father finds out, I will take care of you!"

Then he said: "Your brothers from the uncle's family will also become apprentices together. As the eldest son of Cao Mengde, you must restrain them and play a leading role."

...

Cao Mengde gave some instructions and was speechless for the rest of the night.

Early the next morning, more than a dozen carriages, under more than a hundred guards, set off from Puyang and headed for Taihe Courtyard.

At this time, Taihe Courtyard was already filled with joy.

Zhao Yu is not procrastinating. He will do what he says immediately. Since we are getting married, there is no need to delay. After the announcement yesterday, the hospital immediately became busy.

Getting married is not an easy job. Although it is much simpler in Zhao Yu's case, there are still many procedures to go through.

Muyuan is temporarily used as Cai Yan's natal home. When the guests arrive and the auspicious time comes, Zhao Yu will go to Muyuan to take Cai Yan to Tuyuan. Because we are going straight to the wedding, we can just skip the wedding ceremony, gathering gifts, etc., otherwise it will be even more troublesome.

As for the person to preside over the wedding, after much deliberation, Zhao Yu chose Cao Mengde. But we can't start until Cao Mengde arrives.

Early in the morning, the entire courtyard became busy. Several girls worked all night to make happy characters and red lanterns, which were handed over to Guan Hai and other nursing staff. Those who stick to the door stick to the door, and those who hang lanterns hang lanterns. Uncle Cai and Lao Zhang were busy in and out, while Po Wang was in charge of the kitchen. Vegetables, fruits, fish and meat were naturally indispensable.

But Xifu has no choice.

It would be impossible to cut out two wedding outfits for men and women in one night. Mrs. Cai had no choice but to make a red hijab to express her feelings.

When Cao Mengde arrived, Uncle Cai, who had already welcomed guests, was waiting outside the pass to greet him.

There were twenty or thirty people of different sizes, men and women, walking into the formation, and things were immediately different.

Although Cao Mengde has been here many times, he can't help but be amazed every time he comes here.

"This is already a blessed place."

Xi Zhicai looked at the environment of the other courtyard and was shocked. He was originally weak, so even though he came in a carriage, it was still very bumpy. But as soon as we crossed the pass, we immediately felt something different. The air is unusually fresh, and after taking a few breaths, I feel much more relaxed.

There was clearly a strange warm thing flowing through his body.

"This is Taihe Courtyard?"

Mrs. Ding walked with Cao Mengde and saw the misty clouds and mountains. She sighed: "My husband said that Mr. Zhao is not like a mortal. He really has the wonderful image of an immortal!"

Before they finished speaking, the group of people crossed the pass, and the faint clouds and mist suddenly disappeared, and the other courtyard appeared clearly in front of everyone.

The bluestone avenue, the indifferent and ancient courtyard, the melons and fruits inside and outside the courtyard are fragrant, and the wheat seedlings are faint in the fields - it is already the second season of wheat seedlings.

Although there are no chickens or dogs on the streets, there are bears and tigers.

Two tigers lay lazily in front of the courtyard gate, and three black bears were playing nearby.

There is a pond where you can see the light of the water. Two or three egrets were playing in the water.

Under the warm sunshine, it is truly a paradise scenery.

"And there are giant insects!"

Zao was only waiting for a few civil servants and couldn't help but be surprised.

Cao Mengde smiled and said, "I have to ask Guan Hai."

Guan Hai was by his side and heard the words: "I would like to teach Mr. Cao that these beasts were brought back from the mountains by Mr. Cao. A few days ago, Mr. Cao went to collect herbs in the mountains, and when he came back, there were more than these animals." brute."

"That's it." Cao Mengde nodded.

"Tiger and bear are violent, can they bite people?" Cao Ang raised his head and asked Guan Hai.

Guan Hai smiled and said: "Young master, don't worry. These beasts have been tamed by you long ago."

As he spoke, Guan Hai took the lead and arrived in front of the courtyard gate, shouting: "Get out of the way!"

Two tigers and three black bears ran away quickly.

Zhao Yu was full of energy at this time, walked out of the door, laughed and bowed: "Please come quickly, please come quickly!"

So he was admitted to the hospital, and Zhao Yu took everyone to Tuyuan.

Walking and chatting along the way, we also met Xi Zhicai, Mrs. Ding and others.

Zhao Yu took a few more glances at Xi Zhicai. He was also a capable person. Unfortunately, like Guo Jia, he was born frail and did not live past forty. As for Cao Mengde's family, they also brought his original wife, Mrs. Ding, his eldest son Cao Ang, and his five-year-old second son Cao Pi.

In addition, Dianwei's family, Cao Hong, and Zaozhi all came, plus some other children from the Cao family and Xiahou family, there were more than 20 people.

Mrs. Cai also came out to greet her, laughed and chatted with Mrs. Ding, and then went to the wooden courtyard together. The rest followed Zhao Yu into the Tuyuan, where the guests and hosts took their seats.

Cao Mengde said: "Mr. Zhao's marriage is a big event. But before Mr. Zhao gets married, there is one more thing that must be done."

Zhao Yu smiled slightly: "What else does Mengde think is going on?"

Cao Mengde stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's just these children."

He said: "I will accept Mr. Zhao as my teacher first. Later, when Mr. Zhao gets married, they will take on the responsibility of being a disciple. If not, I'm afraid Mr. Zhao will be too busy!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Forget it, just follow Meng De's words."

"Ang'er."

Cao Mengde nodded to Cao Ang beside him.

Cao Ang pursed his lips, walked out of the desk, came to Zhao Yu, and paid homage: "Teacher."

Zhao Yu helped him up: "What's your name?"

"My name is Cao Ang."

"Okay." Zhao Yu touched Cao Ang's head: "Not bad young man."

Then other children came forward one by one, the oldest one was about the same as Cao Ang, and the youngest one was Cao Pi, who was only five or six years old. After a very simple apprenticeship ceremony, he became Zhao Yu's disciple.

The worship service is simple, but there are many rituals.

The bundles that Cao Mengde prepared for his two sons were a piece of mutton-fat jade and a small copper stove. Other Xiahou family, Cao family, and Dianwei also prepared Shuxiu for their children. In addition to Dianwei, there is a piece of bacon and two wild geese. Others are gold, jade or rare objects.

Zhao Yu accepted them all.

This day was naturally lively and lively. After the apprenticeship, it was time to get married. There is no need to go into details about the process.

It's nothing more than Cao Mengde presiding over the wedding, welcoming the bride, paying homage, and then having a banquet.

Eating and drinking at the wedding banquet is a big deal, and Zhao Yu attaches great importance to it. Most of the ingredients are materials that Zhao Yu took out from the small world of the Chaos Bead. The small world of the Chaos Bead gradually became larger. Zhao Yu occasionally collected some livestock and vegetation into it, and after multiplying, it became a herd.

The ingredients nourished by the extremely abundant Yuan Qi in the small world almost overwhelmed the guests.

Cao Mengde blamed Zhao Yu: "Why is it so delicious?! After eating it, the food at home is just like pig food, how can it still be swallowed!"

Zhao Yu ignored him: "Then don't eat it."

How can Cao Mengde do it? "No, no, sir, this courtyard is not small, why not grow more fruits and vegetables? I don't want sir to send people to deliver them, I will send people to pick them up every day, okay?"

Zhao Yuyun.

But Cao Mengde might be disappointed. Although the vegetables, fruits, livestock, fish and meat in the other courtyard are much better than those in the outside world, they are still far behind those in the Chaos Pearl World.

Sorry, something happened yesterday
