Chapter 64

"Mr. Xuande, where did you hear that Chao likes young girls?"

This is what Lin Chao can't bear the most, he must ask clearly.

The one I like is obviously a mature and sensual big sister, but Liu Bei's taste has changed in Liu Bei's mouth.

"Um, that day when you and I went to the Zhen family to have a banquet, didn't Zichu return the hair accessories of a young lady of the Zhen family, and I saw that you took the opportunity to touch the little lady's hand..."

Good guy, Liu Daer is a voyeur in love!
However, it also made Lin Chao realize that his casual actions that day seemed to be really against the rules.

"So, Duke Xuande thought I liked the young lady of the Zhen family?"

"Isn't it! Besides, Zichu, you are getting older and have no children under your knees. How can this be possible?"

Lin Chao sneered and said, "Mr. Xuande came late. Uncle Fu has already found a daughter from Wang's family for me today, who I consider to be my concubine. I'm afraid I won't be able to accept Mr. Xuande's kindness."

"No problem, no problem." Liu Bei laughed loudly, "Since it is a concubine, there is no harm in having one or two concubines. If Zichu is willing, it would be a good thing to have two concubines."

Lin Chao: "..."

Or you big Han people can play!

My original intention was to find a good match for my younger brother Lin Xi, but who knew that after going around in circles, I would suffer the consequences myself.

Helpless, Lin Chao could only go on a blind date with Liu Bei.

Zhen Yan's original intention was that the three younger sisters should marry Lin Chao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei respectively, but Liu Bei had his own opinion.

He and the two brothers who have been brothers for many years, love each other in life and death, so naturally they don't need these methods to win over. On the contrary, it is the new talents who can be recruited, such as Lin Chao, Tian Feng, Zhao Yun, at most Lin Xi can also be counted. superior.

As for Xun Chen, he always regarded himself as a Hanchen and was not under Liu Bei's command, so he was not considered.

For this reason, Liu Bei specially called Zhao Yun, who was training the prisoners, and started a discussion with brothers Lin Chao and Lin Xi.

The content of the discussion, of course, is the ownership of the three daughters of the Zhen family.

As for Tian Feng, he refused on the grounds that he already had a family and his ambition was not here, but it also avoided the problem that three daughters were not enough for four.

In order, Lin Chao accepted Zhen Jiang, Zhao Yun married Zhen Tuo, and Lin Xi married Zhen Dao.

Of course, this order is arranged by Liu Bei and has nothing to do with age.

After the discussion, Lin Chao made a plan and refused the Zhen family to send him over on the grounds that Zhang Thief was not settled.At the very least, we have to wait until the counties of Zhongshan are recovered.

And the youngest daughter of the head of the Wang family was also driven away by Lin Chao with the same reason.

The Zhen family and the Wang family are also very satisfied with this, their names have been decided, so what does it matter if they get married later.

After doing this operation, Lin Chao suddenly found out that he had a marriage contract, which didn't seem to be a bad thing.

At least for the next time, I don't have to worry about someone using the excuse of marriage to bother me.

Of course, after the whole incident, Liu Bei made a lot of money. Not only did he accept all the copper coins on the ten ox carts, but he also asked Zhen to advance half of the dowry in advance.

In a word, no matter who marries a wife or takes a concubine, Liu Xuande will stand up and earn the money!
Outside the city, Zhen Yan and the Patriarch of the Wang family looked at each other, bowed reluctantly, and walked away in different directions.

At this time, both parties knew each other's purpose, so there was no good face left for the other party.

After all, like-minded people hate each other, and like-minded people go on a blind date!
When the two sides compete for the same thing, each other's every move is so hateful in each other's eyes.

When entering the city, the two sides talked and laughed happily, and it is not bad to maintain a superficial friendship when leaving the city.

"This Patriarch of the Wang family has no sense of shame. He actually rushes to send his daughter over to be a concubine. It's really obscene!"

After walking a little further, Zhen Yao said with contempt on his face.

Hearing what he said, the three daughters of the Zhen family blushed and thought to themselves, second brother, why do you have the face to talk about others.

Zhen Yan coughed lightly, and glared at her ignorant younger brother.

"Don't mention this matter again. The Wang family is just a powerful man in Zhending City, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Understood, brother." Zhen Yao replied.

Zhen Yao nodded, his face looked better now, and he turned to look at his sister.

"Jiang'er, that daughter of the Wang family is also going to be Mr. Lin's concubine. After you pass the door, remember not to ruin my Zhen family's reputation."

As a 15-year-old girl, Zhen Jiang probably doesn't understand the filth here, but she still has to listen to what her brother says, so she nodded and said, "I would like to follow my brother's orders."

On the other road, the Patriarch of the Wang Family also had a look of disdain on his face.

"Wuji Zhen family, hum! A few yellow and white things are not worthy of praise." The Patriarch of the Wang family said angrily, "Seeing that Duke Xuande has gained power, the Patriarch of the Zhen family licked his face and leaned forward, and he was not ashamed to bite an uncle! It’s shameless to send them all out!”

"Father, stop talking..."

Wang's face flushed, and she persuaded in a low voice.

Although her father was scolding Zhen Shi, she always had the feeling that she was scolding herself.

"Yue'er, please remember as a father, you must take good care of Mr. Lin after passing through the door, and you must not be robbed of the limelight by the daughter of the Zhen family, otherwise, what will I really think about the face of the Wang family?"

"Yes, yes, my daughter wrote it down."

Seeing her father getting more and more angry, Wang quickly comforted him in a low voice.

……

Yecheng.

Liu Yan sat alone in the study, with three letters on the table.

The first letter was still from Dong Fu.

The second letter is Liu Bei's upper form.

The third is the imperial edict.

Familiar formula, familiar taste...

Liu Yan first opened the first letter, and Dong Fu described the recent developments in the capital in the letter. It was nothing more than the news that the party struggle was intensifying, and the family and eunuchs often confronted each other in the court hall.

And Emperor Liu Hong's body is getting worse and worse. I don't know if it has anything to do with the naked ladies in Bi Guiyuan.

At the end of the letter, Dong Fu directly stated that there must be great turmoil in the court recently, and it is time for Liu Yan to find a reason to return to Beijing to plan something.Being in Jizhou, if there is any change, it will not be able to deal with it in time after all.

"How can someone not know what Lord Mao'an said, but why is he going back to Beijing right now..."

Liu Yan frowned and said to himself, then opened the second letter, which was the one reported by Liu Bei.

After seeing the contents inside, Liu Yan looked ecstatic.

"Liu Xuande is really good at fighting, and he broke the city of Hanchang within a few days!" Liu Yan laughed excitedly.

His excitement was not because Liu Bei defeated the thief army, but because he finally found a suitable excuse.

Liu Bei is under the jurisdiction of Liu Yan, no matter how much credit Liu Bei has made, he must have a share of Liu Yan.

Just now he was still thinking hard about the so-called reason for returning to Beijing, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to send it to him.

"Don't be in a hurry, after Liu Xuande has pacified the counties in Zhongshan, he will report to the imperial court together..."

At that time, not only Liu Bei will be promoted, but Liu Yan will also be able to take the opportunity to return to Beijing.

Liu Yan, who was so happy in his heart, even opened up the third edict much faster.

As for the content of the third letter, it is the benefit that Lu Zhi won for Liu Bei.

The imperial court ordered Liu Bei to be the captain of Zhongshan.

Seeing this, Liu Yan couldn't help frowning.

Why did the court treat Liu Xuande so favorably?
The captain, with a rank of two thousand stones, is in charge of a county's military affairs, so it can be said that he is a general with real power in his hands.

However, since Emperor Guangwu, except for the frontier, the rest of the counties have not been set up. It is because the imperial court guarded against the danger brought by excessive local power.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi took it out again and gave it to Liu Bei.

Now Liu Bei has already controlled half of Zhongshan, and the remaining half is also in his pocket. With the title of Zhongshan Captain, he is afraid that he will become the actual controller of Zhongshan County.

"Regardless of why the imperial court made such an appointment, with the encouragement of this edict, Liu Xuande can regain Zhongshan faster."

Liu Yan doesn't want to care about anything now, he just wants Liu Bei to take down the counties in Zhongshan as soon as possible, so that he can use this credit to become an official in Beijing and keep abreast of the court situation.

 The title of this chapter comes from Nakayama Ce in the Warring States Period.
