"Sister, you are so anxious to call my whole family to come to Chengdu. It can't be as simple as a sister-brother reunion, right?" After greetings, Lan Tian got to the point.

Gan Qian nodded and said: "Boyang and Wan'er have already made an appointment to get married. They are now over sixteen years old. I intend for them to get married soon, so I let Ziyu's family move to Sichuan."

"So that's it..." Lan Tian said to himself, no wonder Lan Yuan had to be present. It turned out that my sister was looking for a son-in-law.

"Wan'er is already quite young. If she doesn't get married in an ordinary peasant family, she will be punished if the government finds out. Do Ziyu and her siblings have any opinions about getting married to them?" Gan Qian added.

Lu Lingqi met Gan Qian's questioning eyes, then turned to Lantian and said: "It is the husband who makes the final decision on all the family affairs, but the marriage of the two children has been decided for a long time. Now it is just a little ahead of schedule. Ziyu should not refuse.

.”

"Of course I have no objection. I originally planned to let Boyang return from the southern expedition and earn some military merit before going to Sichuan to propose marriage to the king and my sister..." Lan Tian nodded slightly.

Liu Bei stared at Lan Yuan and said meaningfully: "The ancients said that when a family is established, Boyang and Wan'er get married first, and then it will not be too late to conquer the Linyi Kingdom. However, although the Linyi Kingdom is small, this move is the credit of destroying the country. Ziyu prepared it

The betrothal gift really has some weight."

As soon as Lan Tian heard about the betrothal gift, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he quickly said with a smile: "The king and sister will set the date first, accept the invitation, ask for the name, accept the invitation, apply for the date, etc. The wedding process will take time. I can come this time."

I haven't prepared the betrothal gift in a hurry, so I will return to Guangzhou tomorrow to make preparations."

Gan Qian waved her hands quickly: "It takes two or three months to go back and forth, why does Ziyu have to travel so hard? My sister has asked Taichang (Lai Gong) to count the days. The fifteenth day of this month is an auspicious day, and Boyang and Wan'er will be here

How about getting married that day?"

"March 15th? It's less than ten days from now. Isn't it too hasty in such a short time?" Lan Tian looked confused.

Lan Tian and Lu Lingqi looked at each other, not expecting Gan Qian to be so eager. Although their wedding in Xinye was very simple, it took two or three months.

Gan Qian explained: "My sister knows that Boyang has military affairs. If he gets married early, he can return to Jiaozhou early. Doesn't he also want to expand the territory for the king? Nacai, ask for the name, naji, accept the levy, ask for time, etc.

The process can be shortened completely, and Tai Chang knows how to prepare the betrothal gift."

"Is this okay?" Lan Tian looked at Liu Bei and asked.

Liu Bei had a kind face, looked at Gan Qian tenderly, and replied with a smile: "The queen is making arrangements for this matter. She wants to get the children married as soon as possible. The orphan is also very supportive. Shu'er is only one year older than Wan'er, and she is three years old."

I married Xingguo years ago."

Seeing that Lan Tian was still hesitant, Gan Qian asked additionally: "Ziyu is straightforward and sensible, and never sticks to ancient methods. Do you have other ideas?"

Lan Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't think it matters, but Wan'er is the king's daughter after all. If her wedding etiquette is sloppy, will it damage the majesty of the king?"

"Don't worry, Ziyu. There will be no shortage of etiquette, but it will shorten the time. Deshun (Lai Gong) will take care of the matter. The Guhui will canonize Wan'er as a princess. All Chengdu officials and people can see this.

It is a grand occasion, so not only will it not damage the dignity, but it will also demonstrate your prestige through this event." Liu Bei replied solemnly.

Lan Tian had seen how simple weddings were in later generations, and Liu Bei and Gan Qian seemed so "informal", so Lan Tian agreed in front of the two children.

There is Taichang Lai Gong organizing the wedding, and Liu Bei is not needed. The Lantian family is busy, so they can wait until March 15th to get married.

The Lantian couple and Gan Qian had not seen each other for several years. They first asked about each other's situation in Xianying Palace, and then talked about the years in Xiaopei. Those hazy and beautiful days seemed like yesterday. It was obvious that everyone was so depressed at that time, but aftertaste

It tastes so delicious.

Liu Bei had experienced too much in his old age, and the beauty in his heart was fixed in Taoyuan, so it did not resonate. However, he still stayed by his side patiently, while Lan Yuan and Liu Wan listened quietly to their parents' stories.

Unconsciously, the time came to evening, and General Chen Dao appeared at the gate of the palace. He clasped his fists and reported to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, the reception banquet for General Lan has been prepared. According to your request, two hundred civil and military officials have been notified. They are already here at this moment."

Take a seat in the main hall of the palace."

"It's okay to save Gu, Ziyu and Boyang, let your younger siblings continue chatting with the queen, and Gu will introduce you and your son to Chengdu officials." Liu Bei stood up.

"Two hundred people? I don't even know that many people. Why do you, Your Majesty, bother to mobilize the troops?" Lan Tian looked suspicious.

Liu Bei patted Lan Tian on the shoulder and said: "The people of Shu only hear Ziyu's name but not his appearance. Let them open their eyes today and see what kind of charm Gu's right-hand man has."

"Your Majesty, this gift is too much..." Lan Tian quickly clasped his fists and shook his head.

"A true man does his duty. Ziyu has done so much for Gu, and he can bear the highest courtesy. Let's go and let the Shu people meet Gu's Mr. Xuan Owl." Liu Bei's eyes were firm.

"Wei." Lan Tian clasped his fists and nodded.

Lan Tian and Lan Yuan bid farewell to Gan Qian and Lu Lingqi, and followed Liu Bei straight to the main hall of the palace. When the three of them stepped into the threshold of the hall, the originally noisy hall instantly became quiet, and the dark crowd stood up like a wave.

Liu Bei and Lan Tian met the strange eyes, and the three of them walked forward and passed through the center of the main hall. Finally, Liu Bei asked Lan Tian to take the seat on the right, and Lan Yuan sat behind Lan Tian.

Liu Bei's move shocked Lantian, because Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was seated second on the left, and General Zhang Fei on the right was seated three seats next to the empty seat.

Lantian's Jiaozhou Mu and Hou General were not ranked first, so they stood there for a long time without sitting down.

"Ziyu is a guest, please sit down and I will introduce you to the officials of Chengdu." Liu Bei said lightly and instructed Lantian to take a seat.

"Well..."

While Lan Tian was hesitating, Zhang Fei patted the soft seat on the right and said with a smile: "Brother, please sit down. The two of us are close, so we can have a few more drinks tonight."

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Lan Tian spread his arms and knelt down beside the desk.

Guangzhou has now completely abandoned kneeling and replaced it with bench seats that are more suitable for leg stretching, but Yizhou still uses the traditional sitting method because of its high mountains and long rivers.

"Xingguo (Zhang Bao), why don't you say hello to your uncle and Brother Lan?" Zhang Fei glared and gave the man behind him a rough command.

Zhang Bao stood up quickly, clasped his fists and greeted in a rough voice: "Uncle, Brother Boyang, I haven't seen you for many years..."

Zhang Fei took Zhang Bao to Quanling in the early years. At that time, he and Lan Yuan played with flooded ants. They hadn't seen each other for several years. Lan Tian found that the boy was as tall as Zhang Fei, but his skin color was not as dark. Maybe

He followed his mother Xiahou.

Lan Tian nodded in greeting, and Lan Yuan stood up to return the salute, saying, "Brother Xingguo."

When Liu Bei saw this, he stretched out his hand to stop him: "Ziyu, Yide, please don't reminisce about the past for now. Prime Minister, please introduce to Ziyu the talented people from Shu who are here today."
