Chapter 574 Mido's Belt
Liu Yu was preparing for the wedding, but someone was very lonely. It was Qu Ning. Liu Yu saw her dazed and lost. He didn't know whether it was her snatching her woman or Liu Liniang snatching her man.
"If you want to sleep together tonight, I don't mind." Liu Yu said half-jokingly when he saw her depressed.
Qu Ning looked up at Liu Yu, her expression was very complicated. Finally, she just frowned and lowered her head again. Liu Yu smiled and shook his head, ignoring her.
Liu Yu was in southern Xinjiang, but the news was not blocked. In the past few days, the information from the north has been continuously transmitted. Qi's advance was quite smooth, and most local forces in the central and northern regions have surrendered. The food issue that Liu Yu was worried about was not so tight for the time being.
The plan could not keep up with the rapid changes. Liu Yu was in short supply of military food and supplies in the south, while Han Sheng and Sui Yu in the rear managed the court's finances in an orderly manner. Lingbei was peaceful and the business road was easy to go. Once there were more people doing business, the commercial tax revenue of the Trade Department increased. In addition, Lingbei was in good weather and summer grain harvest this year, which made the court not have to worry about military food and supplies for the time being.
Liu Yu even thought that when he went back, he would take out the money he had embezzled and bribed along the way and then take it out of the treasury. He was criticized as a corrupt official, but the money was not in his pocket, which was very cowardly.
With the money, he dared to fight the battle. The court army, which was already timid, won several consecutive victories and was in full swing. Now he was waiting for Liu Yu to lead his troops from the south to attack the north, and Lingnan would soon be completely pacified.
Liu Yu was also caring about the female relatives in Jiankang City. Liu Yu learned that Xu Xuanzhu was eight months pregnant and was about to give birth. Although Liu Yu, her husband, was not around to take care of him, Xu Xuanzhu also had sisters and female soldiers around him, and Liu Yu was also eager to go back.
After being away for a long time, I always miss my own women.
Liu Yu also received news that Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo, led his troops south.
This was actually Liu Yu's arrangement. However, Liu Yu didn't expect that Liu Zhao would send troops so early. Originally, Liu Yu wanted Liu Zhao to be the reserve. But now the southern general was pacified, and Liu Zhao couldn't wait to go south to make contributions. Liu Yu was still helpless with Liu Zhao's stubbornness.
Now the court is in the north and lacks a powerful general who stabilizes the overall situation. Xu Caihua doesn't have this ability, and He Mao is barely considered, but he is a general of the old-school court, so his heart may not be the same as Liu Yu.
That's it. Liu Yucai was worried that Su Zhe's forces, who were hiding in the dark, would take the opportunity to come out and cause trouble.
Thinking of this, it was also time to go. The wedding that the Miao people had hurry to prepare was also in full swing.
The Miao family’s celebrations actually include large-scale weddings, especially the weddings of Mr. Li and Mr. Dali. Even if there is no wedding, the Miao family has some large or small activities almost every month. For example, the moon jump and the tourist, or the Lusheng Festival of the Huashan Festival. The festivals and methods of celebrations are different. Because almost all Miao people are gathering around Lanping now, this wedding is also a wedding that combines the celebration customs of Miao people in different regions. The Miao people’s celebrations that night will be more lively than the Lusheng Festival a few days ago.
From the afternoon, Liu Yu had already felt the atmosphere of celebration. The Miao people gathered from all directions to Damiao Village. Before dusk, the few empty scenes in Damiao Village were already crowded, with young men and women singing and dancing, and even Liu Yu wanted to join in the lively atmosphere.
It was almost dusk, and the Miao people began to send people to urge them. Liu Yu, the groom, should do serious business.
For his own safety, Liu Yu was still very careful in his vigilance. Huo Bing took the lead, while Lian Husheng brought the guards to accompany him. Liu Yu attended the wedding and made the battle like a war.
During the Central Plains wedding, the bride was hiding. She was afraid of being seen, but in southern Xinjiang, the brides of no ethnic group were not in the bridal chamber. When Liu Yu arrived at Dazhai, Liu Liniang was like the master's house, wearing a cardigan unique to the Miao family, wearing silver jewelry, and holding a wine bowl to entertain guests like mountains and seas outside.
Unlike usual, Liu Liniang wore golden bells on her wrists and ankles, and they would jingle every time she moved. In the Miao custom, only women who were courting or newly married women would wear bells. As a princess of the Miao family, Liu Liniang also wore a string of exquisite golden bells.
Seeing the bell on Liu Liniang's body, Liu Yu couldn't help but remember the first time he saw Liu Liniang dancing and singing. He thought to himself that if Liu Liniang was wearing a colorful dress and feathered clothes and jumped on a song with her naked ankles, she would be like a fairy.
Thinking about it, Liu Yu hadn't seen Liu Liniang's dancing posture for a long time.
Seeing Liu Yu appear, the crowd cheered like roaring and roaring. Under such a situation, even Liu Liniang, who was used to the big scene, couldn't help but nodded slightly to reveal the shyness of her daughter's family, and came up to welcome the newlywed husband.
What’s strange is that Liu Yu didn’t find Duolin and Mi Er. Seeing that Liu Yu looked around, Liu Liniang guessed what he was looking for. Taking advantage of the time when representatives of various races came to congratulate him, Liu Liniang leaned over and said, “I’ll hide them, and they will appear in the evening.”
Liu Yu thought to himself, was it because Liu Liniang was afraid that the two little girls would steal her status as a "big wife" and deliberately hid Duolin and Mi Er?
Liu Yu didn't ask in detail, and continued to follow the people who came to congratulate him perfunctorily. Occasionally, Liu Yu tasted it. The wine was light and tasteless, which was very suitable for drinking with him.
As night fell, Damiao Village became more lively. The Miao people sang and danced gracefully in front of the bonfire. Even the young man in the Miao Village was very heroic when he danced.
Liu Yuxin said no wonder Liu Liniang was so outstanding in dancing. It turned out that it was inherited from the Miao people's racial talent.
Liu Yu really wanted to get into the bridal chamber with Liu Liniang, but there were many wedding rules in the Miao family, so Liu Yu also wanted to dance with the Miao family with Liu Liniang.
This made Liu Yu feel bitter. After finally the dance ended, a group of Miao girls ran over and pulled Liu Yu's belt one by one, making Liu Yu look puzzled.
"What are they going to do?" Liu Yu looked at these girls who were laughing and shy, coming and going one by one, pulling his belt and cheering, and asked Liu Liniang who was smiling beside him.
"They are friendly to you, you should take off your belt and give it to them." When they were with the tribe, Liu Liniang became more free and easy, and said to Liu Yu with a smile.
"Is that true?" Liu Yu was skeptical.
Liu Liniang covered her mouth and smiled. The attitude of this little daughter's house was rare, which made Liu Yu very fascinated by Liu Liniang's style at this time.
"Actually, the rules of our Miao family are that when we jump the moon, if we like Mido, we will take a thing on him as a token of love. It seems that you are very popular with our Miao family girls."
Only then did Liu Yu realize that Liu Liniang had told him to untie his belt before to tease him. If she really untie the belt, she would get three or five Miao girls back to marry together, and she would recognize her when she met a few beautiful people. If she met an ugly monster, it would be a big problem.
Liu Yu tightened his belt, glared at Liu Liniang who looked like a little girl laughing, and said, "The belt cannot be given to them. Tonight, I will wait for Liniang to untie you!"
