Chapter 1008: Liu Cao's Marriage Part 1

,,,,,,,,,,,,

The day before the Han Dynasty's wedding team arrived in Yedu, Cao Cao ordered the decoration to be decorated and cleaned the streets. The Han Dynasty's advance team entered the city one day early and distributed 100,000 happy money from house to house. Although the happy money was small, it pushed the marriage between Cao and Liu.

The next morning, the wedding martyr of the Han Kingdom arrived in Yedu as scheduled, causing a sensation all over Yedu. Every household went out to watch and blocked the streets. Cao Cao had to send troops to maintain order.

The wedding envoy Sima Yi and the deputy envoy Zhao Lin rode on a high-headed horse, followed by more than a dozen followers, with a wedding carriage in the middle. Although the carriage was not gorgeous, it was quite spacious. There were cavalry guards on both sides, and behind them were more than a dozen ritual carriages loaded with dozens of large boxes tied with colored knots. This was the betrothal gift of the King of Han.

In fact, as early as the previous year, Sima Yi escorted a batch of betrothal gifts to the original place, but was half ambushed by the Huns, and all betrothal gifts were burned by fire. This was the second time that the betrothal gifts were given, but the betrothal gifts were not expensive, mainly auspicious things such as geese and bi riding on horses and tying silk.

This is what Liu Jing said to Chen Qun in advance. Both parties should place simplicity first and do not engage in luxury. As soon as Sima Yi and his party entered the city, Chen Qun brought a dozen officials to welcome him.

"I finally hope for Sima Shangshu, thank you all for your hard work."

Sima Yi smiled and said, "We should have been here last year, but it was delayed for a whole year. I hope that the marriage between the two countries will be successfully completed this time."

"We also hope that there will be no more accidents. Sima Shangshu, please follow me to the VIP office to rest first. The newcomer will officially get married tomorrow morning."

Sima Yi smiled, "According to customs, you must first visit the city and then bother Chen's envoy."

Chen Qun had no choice but to smile and said, "Then I will accompany Shangshu."

"I'm sorry, envoy Chen."

The wedding party started a grand wedding parade, which caused a sensation all over the city.

In the back hall of Tongque Palace, a little maid ran into the courtyard where Cao Xian lived. She jumped and jumped from a distance and shouted, "Girl, they are here."

Cao Xian was sitting in the room reading a book. When she heard the little maid screaming excitedly, she frowned and walked out of the room and said, "What are you shouting, who is here?"

"Girl, the wedding team is here, the girl is going to get married."

Cao Xian's heart suddenly jumped, and pretended to be calm and scolded the little maid, "What a big deal, I have to shout like this, do I teach you this way?"

The little maid lowered her head in fear and did not dare to say anything again. Cao Xian said again: "You go first, don't spread this matter everywhere."

"I understand."

The little maid stuck out her tongue and quietly went down, but Cao Xian's heart was disturbed. Her marriage started four years ago and continued to the present. I don't know how many ups and downs have been experienced. Finally, it was the moment when the dust fell. I will leave my parents tomorrow, go to Chang'an and start a new life. She is full of worries about her future.

She had met Liu Jing and lived with the princess and the others for a while. Although Liu Jing was her dream husband, tall, heroic, young and promising, the princess was even more generous and kind, but after all, the Wei and Han countries fought for years and were hostile countries. She didn't know what kind of outcome she would have when she married an enemy country, and she didn't dare to think too much about it.

At this time, Cao Xian suddenly felt something. When he turned around, he saw his mother, Mrs. Bian, standing at the door with a smile. She hurried forward and saluted, "Why is my mother here?"

Although Cao Xian was not born by Mrs. Bian, she raised her. The mother and daughter had a deep relationship. Mrs. Bian also regarded her as her own and loved her very much. She held her daughter's hand, stroked her head and smiled, "I'm going to get married tomorrow, of course I'm going to see you."

Cao Xian's nose felt sour, tears rolled down, and he snuggled in his mother's arms and cried: "Daughter doesn't want to leave his mother."

"You are twenty-one years old this year. If you don't get married, your mother will be anxious. She is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally this day comes."

Mrs. Bian held her daughter and sat down, and smiled at her, "Tonight, my mother will teach you the way of husband and wife, but now I want to tell you something else."

Cao Xian blushed, "Please give me instructions"

Mrs. Bian said slowly: "You are indeed a little aggrieved when you get married this time. You can't be the main wife. Fortunately, the Han King has a good status and you can also be the second concubine. In the future, you may still be the imperial concubine."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Bian whispered: "This sentence can only be said by our mother and daughter, and you must not let your father know."

"Daughter understands, mother doesn't have to worry."

Mrs. Bian then continued: "I have heard of the people of the King of Han. She values ​​affection and righteousness, and is young. She is a good husband. However, since he is the King of Han, there will be no fewer women around him. Don't take this to heart."

Cao Xian nodded silently, and Mrs. Bian instructed again: "Actually, I am most worried about it is not what the King of Han treats you, but the Princess of Han and Sun Cifei. They have followed the King of Han for many years, have deep roots in the mansion, and each has their own daughters. You must not be disrespectful or despised by their father's status. Especially the Princess of Han, although she is not of high origin, she is the wife of the King of Han, and her son is established as the world and has a solid status. Don't think about replacing her."

Cao Xian held his mother's hand and smiled, "Don't worry, my daughter knows Mrs. Tao and Mrs. Sun. She gets along well with them and will not give birth to the things her mother is worried about."

Mrs. Bian sighed and said, "You are a good child, virtuous and smart, and beautiful. My mother has always felt at ease with you, but I am afraid that you will be confused for a while."

"I won't"

"It's fine if it won't."

Mrs. Bian said to her daughter slowly: "Although you and the King of Han are in a political marriage, my mother hopes that you don't have this idea. She should treat yourself as a good daughter, and serve your husband well. Especially if you don't have parents-in-law, your husband's love for you is your happiness and future status. Remember, you must not involve the politics of the two countries. It is related to your destiny and even your life. Remember this sentence from your mother."

Mrs. Bian said two million in a row. She was a veteran. No matter what her husband had for her daughter, she knew in her heart that if her daughter wanted not to be implicated in the national disaster in the future, she would have no political connection. She didn't care what the world would be like. That was the business of men. She just cared about her daughter and must have a good marriage destination.

Cao Xian nodded gently, "My mother's instructions are kept in mind."

The next morning, the Han Dynasty wedding team arrived at Tongque Palace. There were bursts of firecrackers in the square, urging the newlyweds to get on. Cao Xian put on a wedding robe, phoenix crown on his head, colorful belts on his waist, and painted clogs on his feet. She was helped to the lobby by two maids and said goodbye to her father Cao Cao and her mother Bian.

"My daughter is leaving. I hope my parents will take care of themselves. My daughter will pray for the two elders in the distance."

When Cao Xian thought of his father's body, he might not have many days to come, and this trip may be forever. At the end, she burst into tears and her voice choked.

Cao Cao was also a little sad, but his daughter's marriage was a happy event, and he could not disappoint him. He forced himself to be happy and said, "My son is going to Chang'an and will marry a wife. He should be careful in his actions and words, respect his grandma, serve his husband well, and have children, pass on the family line, abide by the morality of his wife, and do not embarrass his father."

"Daughter remembers father's words"

At this time, an emcee outside the palace shouted: "The auspicious time has come, the newcomer is out."

Cao Xian grabbed his father's hand and cried, "Father, my daughter can't serve you anymore."

Cao Cao's eyes were filled with tears, and he broke free from her hand and shouted: "How can my Cao Cao's daughter behave like a child? Go?"

Cao Xian knelt down and kowtowed to his father and mother. Then he covered his face and left. Cao Cao looked at his daughter's departure and couldn't help but sigh with a long sigh on his face.

Cao Cao sent a thousand cavalry to guard his daughter to travel west. Five days later, the wedding team finally arrived at Pujin Pass. An iron bridge was built on the Yellow River outside Pujin Pass. Several Cao army soldiers were guarding carriages on both sides and slowly passing the iron bridge.

Cao Xian looked at the rolling Yellow River water outside the car, and she felt quite emotional. After crossing the Yellow River, she entered the Han Kingdom. At this time, Cao Xian had calmed down from the sadness of parting. She began to feel nervous about her new life. What would Liu Jing do to her?

The carriage crossed the iron bridge, and at that time two thousand Han cavalry were waiting here. The Cao army and the Han army handed over. The Cao army cavalry left, and the carriage entered the city under the escort of the Han cavalry.

"Madam, the King of Han is here to greet you in person." Sima Yi laughed quietly beside the carriage.

Cao Xian gently lifted up a corner of the bamboo curtain, and saw Liu Jing, the King of Han, riding a horse, waiting more than ten steps away. He was wearing a brand new military uniform and long boots, looking extremely heroic. Her heart was pounding and she quickly put down the curtain.

At this time, Liu Jing urged him to come forward and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work."

Cao Xian is indeed very hard. According to the custom of marriage, she cannot get off the carriage before entering her husband's house. She lived in the carriage for five days. Fortunately, she is quiet and does not feel bored even though she has worked hard.

Cao Xian whispered in the carriage: "Thank you for greeting us thousands of miles away."

Liu Jing smiled, "I have arranged the tent in front of me and rested in the tent overnight before going to Chang'an again. It will be at least a day to go to Chang'an. If you stay in the carriage for a while, people will not be able to stand it."

Cao Xian was grateful, and only the groom had the right to arrange the bride's daily life along the way without violating the customs of marriage. She whispered: "Thank you for the arrangements of the general."

Several large tents were set up in the wilderness not far ahead. Liu Jing thought very carefully. The large tent in the middle was surrounded by huge curtains and was guarded by more than twenty female soldiers. In this way, the bride did not have to stay in the tent and could come out and walk.

Cao Xian's carriage drove into the curtain and stopped in front of the tent. The coachman and the soldiers retreated. The two maids carefully helped Cao Xian out of the carriage. She stretched out her waist long and felt comfortable all over. At this time, when she turned around, she found that Liu Jing was standing not far away, looking at her with a smile. Her cheeks suddenly turned red with shame, and she hurried into the tent.
