Chapter 107 Political Marriage


    As the top underground official of the governor, Fei Qian naturally had to attend the wedding ceremony of Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng. As a member of the Pang family, Pang Degong was old and inconvenient, so he appointed Pang Tong as the person to congratulate the Pang family.


    As a high-ranking local governor, the wedding of a governor is naturally no small matter.


    ?Coming from Feiqian and Pangtong, basically both sides of the street are decorated with lights and the roads are cleanly cleaned.


    Yiji’s “cleansing” strategy seems to be working well…


    ?However, compared with the festive atmosphere, Fei Qian looked at his own clothes and then at the clothes Pang Tong was wearing. He felt a little uncomfortable—


    Weddings in the Han Dynasty did not involve wearing red clothes, but wearing black clothes, and holding candles in your hands...


    ??If you add a small white flower to this, it will be...


    Not only are people black, but even cars are black cars…


    ?Especially Pang Tong. He was already dark, and he was dressed in black. Especially when Pang Tong stood still and just blinked his eyes, it was simply indescribable.


    The customs of the Han Dynasty are really weird.


    When Uncle Fu brought this set of silk clothes, Fei Qian almost thought he had brought them by mistake. But when Pang Tong also came out wearing black, Fei Qian was sure that at least in the Han Dynasty, black was worn at weddings...


    What''s interesting is that the place where the wedding ceremony is held is not indoors, but outdoors in a tent set up with a blue cloth curtain, and the ceremony is held in this tent.


    ?Outside this green hut, countless candles were lit, and it was as bright as day. Most of the people who came to watch the ceremony gathered here.


    The guests who came to watch the ceremony, in addition to the officials of Liu Biao''s governor''s office, basically all the people from the noble families were present. There were not only male guests, but also many female guests. After all, the strict etiquette in the Han Dynasty was different from that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are no such outrageous regulations for women, so today Liu Biao''s wedding was attended by many married and unmarried noble women. Groups gathered together and it was very lively.


    Among the group of male guests, Fei Qian looked around and found that it would be better to chat with Yi Ji to pass some time. At least relatively speaking, he had interacted with Yi Ji several times, and Yi Ji looked pleasing to the eye, right?


    So I pulled Pang Tong towards Yiji, but halfway there, Pang Tong heard someone calling him, so he separated from Fei Qian, and walked around as if he was heading towards a group of female guests. Already…


    ?This guy seems to be quite popular, right?


    ??Anyway, Pang Tong is only a little over ten years old now. For a half-year-old child, even if he mixes with female guests, it won''t be a big problem, so Fei Qian shook his head and had to go chat with Yi Ji by himself.


    Yi Ji was still so polite. When he saw Fei Qian coming, he cupped his hands and said goodbye.


    Fei Qian said: "Boji is too polite, so I call him Ziyuan. Looking at the neat streets and standard shops, I think Boji must have worked hard these days..."


    “It’s all due to the Lord, I dare not call it a blessing.” Yi Ji is still so flawless.


    The two of them had just had a few indifferent chats when Pang Tong appeared out of nowhere and pulled Fei Qian to say something, but his voice was very low -


    Fei Qian didn''t hear clearly, so he couldn''t help but turned to Pang Tong, lowered his head and asked Pang Tong: "What did you just say?"


    Pang Tong looked at Fei Qian carefully, his eyes flashed, he smiled, and said: "It''s okay, it''s okay, keep going, keep going..." Then he turned around and ran away, leaving Fei Qian confused.


    ?This boy, what kind of trick are you playing?


    At this time, Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng came to welcome the bride. The male and female guests waiting outside Qinglu became noisy for a while. Fei Qian forgot about Pang Tong''s inexplicable behavior and looked at Liu Biao''s place with the crowd.


    Liu Biao came all the way on a tall horse. People on both sides of the road kept saluting and congratulating Liu Biao. Liu Biao also returned the greetings frequently, with a smile on his face and hearty laughter from time to time. Yes, it can be said that Liu Biao has basically established a firm foothold at this time. As long as there are no major mistakes, at least no one can easily touch him. This is for an ambitious man who wants to do something in the land of Jingxiang. When he came, he tied a safety rope on himself, which allowed him to walk more confidently on the steel rope in Jingxiang.


    After a while, Liu Biao walked up to Fei Qian.


    Fei Qian and Yi Ji saluted Liu Biao to express their congratulations. Liu Biao also smiled and cupped his hands on the horse, nodded, and continued to move forward.


    Following Liu Biao in the car is today’s heroine, the daughter of the Cai family.


    Before arriving at Qinglu, the newlyweds had to perform a ceremony of worship, so Liu Biao took the daughter of the Cai family out of the wedding car, and suddenly there was another burst of noise.


    Hijab was not very popular at this time in the Han Dynasty, so everyone could clearly see the appearance of the Cai family girls at this time.


    Fei Qian estimated that the daughter of the Cai family was no more than twenty at most. Compared with Liu Biao, who had a big beard next to him, they had two completely different styles...


    Amid the cheers of the crowd, the daughter of the Cai family lowered her head and lowered her eyes, as if she was shy. However, Fei Qian was relatively close and could tell that something was wrong.


    Muran, yes, with a dull look on his face.


    Different from Liu Biao''s cheerful smile, although the Cai family''s daughter also pursed her lips slightly and lowered her eyes, she seemed to have a mask on her face. The smile on her face seemed to be painted on it. Solid and wooden.


    Yes, that woman is not pregnant?


    ?Just like what Zhou Xingxing said in Journey to the West, that woman doesn’t want her husband to come riding on colorful auspicious clouds?


    The colorful auspicious clouds are coming, but above the auspicious clouds is a man who is old enough to be a father...


    ?Perhaps everyone, not just Fei Qian, noticed the Cai daughter''s dullness, but other than Fei Qian, no one else probably cared.


    ??For Liu Biao, it doesn''t matter whether he marries Cai Asan or Cai Asi, as long as he is a direct daughter of the Cai family...


    ??For the Cai family, it doesn''t matter whether their daughter marries a husband who is forty or fifty years old, as long as he is the governor of Jingzhou...


    Models like this were common in the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially among the gentry and the powerful.


    ??Everyone swarmed around the two newlyweds and entered the Qinglu. They heard the ceremony officials in the Qinglu begin to sing loudly, and the ceremony of handing over to each other officially began...


    Fei Qian did not follow him in immediately. Instead, he stood outside Qinglu and whispered: "This is really... a political marriage."


    Pang Tong came out of nowhere. He happened to hear what Fei Qian said, but he couldn''t understand it, so he asked, "What did you say, Ziyuan? What about marriage?"


    "Politics... forget it, let''s go in first and explain to you later." Fei Qian pulled Pang Tong into Qinglu and thought to himself, I hope my marriage will not be a political marriage...


    Marriage is the most common mode of interest exchange among the gentry in the Eastern Han Dynasty... Of course, let alone the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is still common even now... The author, please recommend and vote for favorites...
