Chapter 88
The Xia Kingdom broadcast room exploded instantly,
"Damn, the eared thief has a net worth of tens of thousands of horses and seized over a hundred million five-zhu coins, and you tell me he is incorruptible!"
"The eared thief is too cunning. He even has to pretend to be poor when getting married. Is he afraid his father-in-law will ask him for more dowry?"
"Is there a possibility that Liu Bei just doesn't want to buy a mansion in Luoyang? Anyway, Cai Yan is a great talented woman, and the children's education is already guaranteed. It doesn't matter which public or private school they go to!"
"Ah, tonight Miss Cai is going to fall into Liu Daer's clutches. I hate it! Why can't the system broadcast it once?!"
"Eared thief, draw your sword! This is the hatred of stealing a wife!"
"Brother Xuande, congratulations on marrying a great talented woman."
Cao Cao came together with a middle-aged man who looked dignified and handsome.

Liu Bei welcomed them,
"Brother Mengde, thank you for coming."
Cao Cao introduced,
"Xuande, this is Benchu, Yuan Benchu."
Liu Bei cupped his hands,
"So it is Brother Benchu, the Colonel of the Central Army with profound family learning. You are indeed a man of talent."
The thirty-something Yuan Shao had an extraordinary appearance and a resonant voice,
"Brother Xuande, you have defeated over a hundred thousand Baibo troops and also upheld the national prestige of our Great Han by killing Yufuluo. Very good."
Cao Cao praised,
"Xuande's Fire Ox formation made me marvel endlessly. Adapting to local conditions and guiding according to the situation—great goodness!"
Liu Bei cupped his hands,
"The Baibo army can't even compare to the Huang Jin army; they are just a group of laborers who picked up weapons. I just happened to be there at the right time. How can I compare to Brother Benchu's uprightness and capability?"
"Brother Mengde dismissed corrupt officials when he was the Chancellor of Jinan and is good at knowing and using people. I am far inferior to you."
Liu Bei sighed again,
"Now, as the Administrator of Taiyuan Commandery, I really don't know how to start."
Liu Bei looked like he had received a hot potato, very helpless.
Yuan Shao laughed heartily and patted Liu Bei on the shoulder,
"Brother Xuande, when the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road. Taiyuan has the benefits of salt and iron; it might not be impossible to hold."
The Yuan family had a hereditary eye disease. Yuan Shao felt uncomfortable when he saw others doing well, but when he saw others doing poorly, he would actually help them.
Cao Cao, this childhood friend, had figured out Yuan Shao's personality very clearly and would occasionally play the victim in front of him to get benefits.
Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and felt that this guy seemed to be complaining to Yuan Shao on purpose,
"Could it be that this Liu Bei also knows Benchu's personality?"
Liu Bei welcomed the two in and took a glance at Captain America and Hawkeye waiting outside,
"It seems the two have become people Cao Boss trusts very much. The third contestant?"
Guo Fengxiao observed secretly while drinking.
The bullet comments in the broadcast room increased again,
"Liu Bei actually mixed with Cao Boss and Yuan Shao?"
"The eared thief is capable. He can be considered to have mixed into the middle level of the Great Han."
"Do you think the Three Kingdoms will eventually be fought over by these three?"
"Upstairs, what kind of dream are you having? The eared thief is too far behind the two! The accumulation of family power and prestige—is that something Liu Bei can achieve by winning a few battles?"
"That's right. Yuan Shao hasn't fought a single battle, but his position is much higher than Liu Bei's, and the Grand General He Jin also relies on him very much."
Cai Yong was radiant. His daughter was finally getting married, and his son-in-law was exceptionally outstanding,
"Xuande has connected with Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu. His official career will be much smoother in the future."
"This son-in-law is truly more outstanding the more I look at him."
Just at this moment,
Lady Gan and the female relatives of Lu Shi crowded around Cai Yan as she came out.
Today, Cai Yan had dressed up carefully, appearing moving and charming.
Her expression was happy and shy, and her large, dark eyes were lively and filled with affection.
Peach blossoms are good, her face is clever, and the phoenix robe and rosy cape with mandarin duck jackets displayed Cai Yan's gentleness and moving nature to the extreme.
Many people at the scene were jealous,
"Cai Yan is indeed a great beauty. Liu Bei has profited!"
"She is also a great talented woman and can be Liu Bei's virtuous helper."
"I heard Cai Yong sent over three thousand scrolls of books as a dowry this time, which almost accounts for thirty percent of Cai Yong's collection. It's enough for Liu Bei to open a small academy!"
Cai Yong was both happy and sad.
He was naturally happy that his daughter was getting married happily, but he would be lonely in the future, and his daughter had taken away over three thousand scrolls of books—it almost cost him his life!
According to the wedding process of the Han Dynasty,
Liu Bei and Cai Yan performed the cupped-hand salute to the guests and then bowed to each other.
The two toasted Cai Yong and Lu Shi together.
Afterward, Cai Yan went to the bridal chamber in the backyard.
Liu Bei naturally went to toast every table!
Cao Cao sighed with emotion,
"Sigh, I didn't feel anything before, but today I suddenly found that Miss Cai is really good-looking."
Yuan Shao was speechless. When will this Aman's habit of always thinking others' things are better be changed?!
Liu Bei was drunk, and Guo Fengxiao had already passed out under the table. Zhao Zilong and Xu Huang helped Liu Bei to the backyard.
"My lord, we will see you off here."
Liu Bei nodded,
"Good, Zilong, Gongming, I have kept your marriages in mind. I will arrange them for you soon."
Zhao Zilong's wife in history was neither Lady Fan nor Ma Yunlu, but an ordinary woman.
Zhao Zilong and Xu Huang looked at each other, and both were very moved in their hearts,
"My lord, today is your big day, don't worry about our marriages."
Liu Bei entered the room.
Lady Gan and the maid brought clear water.
Liu Bei washed his hands and face clean, and then used a wet towel to wipe his wife Cai Yan's face and hands clean.
The ritual of washing symbolized that the bride and groom were beginning to integrate into a new life with a pure heart.
Afterward, the two ate the same piece of mutton, meaning that the two would share blessings and misfortunes.
Then there was the cross-cupped wine, and so on.
The process was complicated, but fortunately, Cai Yan was shy and lovely, and Liu Bei found her pleasing to the eye, so naturally, he didn't feel annoyed.
The maids went out.
Liu Bei lifted Cai Yan's snow-white chin,
"Wife, you are truly beautiful."
Cai Yan's face turned peach-red, and thousands of words converged into two words,
"Husband~"
