Before leaving, Mi Huan gave Mi Huan two gold coins as a gift to thank Long Fei for the new dish he designed for Zuixianju. Long Fei had another purpose and told Mi Huan some unique new dishes, and by the way, he told Mi Huan about the modern hotel's new dishes.
He gave a rough introduction to the management concept. Although Mi Huan did not fully understand it, he became very curious about Long Fei. From then on, Long Fei came to Mi's house from time to time.
On this day, Long Fei was discussing with Mi Huan how to transfer his business in the form of equity to increase his cash flow. Mi Zhu and Mi Fang suddenly came back. Although the two brothers knew Long Fei, they could not wait at home.
It was still a bit strange to meet him. Mi Zhu frowned: "Why are you here?"
Long Fei smiled. Mi Huan quickly explained: "I came to General Long. Many of General Long's ideas are unique and fresh, and they can be applied to our business!"
"Oh?" Mi Zhu was a little surprised and asked in a sarcastic tone: "General Long can also do business?"
Long Fei smiled: "Doesn't Mi Zhizhong also fight?"
This sarcasm was harsh enough, and it hit Mi Zhu's sore spot. In the battle of Jiugong Mountain, Liu Bei's army was defeated, and he almost died on the battlefield. What Long Fei said was clearly a provocation. Mi Zhu frowned: "General, still
Please, you are not welcome in my home!"
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang came back this time for another purpose. Although they were in charge of governance, Mi Fang was also a captain. However, their background as businessmen made it impossible for their brothers to hold their heads high in Xuzhou. The words spoken by Tao Qian's subordinates were naturally light and meaningless.
This time, he tried his best to persuade Tao Qian to invite Liu Bei to Xuzhou. In addition to the ulterior secret, there was another main reason, that is, one day he could appear in front of everyone like a real official. So he wanted to work with Liu Bei.
Go closer, the closer the better.
Xuzhou is controlled by four major families, each of which has its own characteristics. Most of Xuzhou's official circles are from the forces of these major families. If you want to gain a foothold in Xuzhou, you can only establish a good relationship with these four major families. Where to start?
After much deliberation, Liu Bei chose Mi Zhu. The two hit it off and immediately joined forces. How to consolidate this alliance also required planning. Qian Mi Zhu didn't care, but this was too snobbish. Mi Zhu thought of another way, women.
Liu Bei also had several wives in Zhuo County, but unfortunately they all died young. The remaining one boy and half girl were now left alone. Besides, he was traveling around all year round, so he was not suitable for marrying. When Mi Zhu proposed to marry Liu Bei
, Liu Bei waved his hands repeatedly, and Guan Yu and others tried to persuade him, but Liu Bei refused to obey. A few people were helpless and could not say anything, but Mi Zhu did not give up. In fact, Liu Bei was not unhappy, but he had his own plans.
There is a tofu-making family in the east of Peixian County. Their surname is Gan and their last name is Mao. The old couple has a daughter named Gan Qian who is eighteen years old. The little girl Zhang is a famous beauty nearby. There is an endless stream of people proposing marriage, Ran Gan
Qian never agreed to get married. The old couple saw their daughter getting older day by day, and felt extremely anxious. However, they could not force the daughter to do anything, so they could only leave it to fate.
When Liu Bei entered the city, he happened to pass by Ganmao's tofu stall. Gan Qian took a break from her busy work and looked up at Liu Bei. Just this glance made Liu Bei so distracted that he almost fell off his horse. From then on, the woman selling tofu
It was as if it was imprinted in his mind and could not be removed. Liu Bei secretly sent people to find out clearly that this girl was not married, so Liu Bei was moved.
Liu Bei was over thirty this year, but when he saw Gan Qian, he suddenly felt a lot younger. In order to see Gan Qian, Liu Bei often went to Gan Mao's stall to buy tofu for various reasons. Gan Mao saw that he was the county magistrate.
He was extremely enthusiastic and left Liu Bei to drink water and chat. Liu Bei stayed at this small tofu stall without any courtesy for the whole morning. He waited until Gan Qian sold out the tofu and the father and daughter wanted to go back, then Liu Bei left.
How could Gan Mao not see what the county magistrate meant? He mentioned it to his daughter several times, but Gan Qian sneered and said, "I can't even look down on a mere county magistrate!"
He had no choice but to be more attentive when Liu Bei came again, so as not to offend the most authoritative person in Peixian County. Fortunately, Liu Bei did not mention this matter, so everyone lived in peace and harmony. Mi Zhu was a careful person.
Occasionally, I saw Liu Bei in front of a tofu stall and saw Gan Qian's appearance, and I immediately understood.
That night, Mi Zhu personally came to ask for Liu Bei's hand in marriage. Gan Mao and his wife didn't know how to answer. Gan Qian said, "Sir, what will happen if I don't agree?"
"My lord! You don't know that my daughter has a fierce temper. She won't get married even if she doesn't nod her head. We, the old couple, can't do anything about it!"
Mi Zhu nodded: "In that case, I will give you three days to think about it. Even if you think about it, the matchmaker will come to the door. It is up to you whether to marry or not! You can weigh the consequences yourself!"
Mi Zhu thought that if he was frightened like this, the Gan family would obediently do what he said, but when the matchmaker came, the three Gan family members ran away. Mi Zhu was furious and sent Mi Fang to lead his troops to search for him. After a long time of effort, there was no result.
Finally, he found out that Gan Qian took her parents to Jiugong Mountain. Mi Zhu couldn't help but admire this woman's courage.
Gan Qian ran away, and Mi Zhu suddenly brightened up and thought of another way. Marrying Gan Qian to Liu Bei would not be of any benefit to him. Since he wanted to form an alliance, it should be the daughter of their Mi family. After thinking about it for a long time,
He was determined to marry his sister Mi Huan to Liu Bei. This time he came back to ask for Mi Huan's opinion. But he didn't expect to see his sister chatting with Long Fei so happily at his home.
Mi Zhu, who has always been gentle and gentle, became angry today, which was unprecedented. Mi Huan also felt strange and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Mi Zhu: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Long Fei didn't want to make things too tense, so he stood up slowly, said goodbye to his brothers and sisters, and turned around to leave. Looking at Long Fei's back, Mi Zhu began to wonder, he didn't understand why he was angry. Long Fei and himself
Those who can be considered a group are all Black Ice. They have no conflict with him on some level. The battle at Jiugong Mountain did not cause any loss to him, but why should he be angry? After thinking for a while, Mi Zhu understood. But next
How to deal with it in one step is really difficult.
As usual, Long Fei came to Mi's house whenever he had free time. Mi Huan also welcomed him warmly, but Mi Zhu was nowhere to be seen. Every time he asked, Mi Huan always smiled and did not answer. This afternoon, as usual,
Similarly, as soon as Long Fei arrived in front of Mi's house, the two servants guarding the door actually stopped him. Long Fei was stunned: "What? I don't know you anymore?"
The servant smiled slightly: "How could you not recognize me? It's just the master's order not to see any guests today!"
"I don't see you either?"
The servants looked at each other and one of them said: "Special instructions, the general will not be seen even when he comes!"
"Did something happen?"
The servant hesitated to speak: "General, please come back! Don't embarrass us servants."
Long Fei did not go back. He rounded the corner and turned into an alley next to him. He had been to Mi's house dozens of times and was very familiar with it. When he climbed up the wall, he could see that this was the second wing of the courtyard. Here is
In the Mi family's accounting room, the accounts reported from various places are summarized here every day and then submitted to Mi Huan for review. But today, the place is deserted.
As soon as he lifted his legs over the wall, the yard was extremely quiet, and there seemed to be no one. Long Fei walked towards Mi Huan's boudoir, and as soon as he took a step, a huge burst of laughter suddenly came from the ear door: "I
"Lord Zhizhong, your family is really big, I think Tao Qian's state pastoral residence is just like this, right?"
It was Mi Zhu and Zhang Fei. The two of them were talking as they walked through the ear door. Long Fei hurriedly ducked behind the big tree to hide his figure. Mi Zhu shook his head and said: "My place is not comparable to the Zhou Mu Mansion. There is a Zhou Mu Mansion."
The magistrate of the Mufu! By the way, why hasn’t the county magistrate arrived yet?”
"Why are you in a hurry?" Zhang Fei said loudly: "My brother is here to propose marriage, and he is not in a hurry. You, the eldest brother-in-law, are in a hurry! Accompany me to the martial arts training ground first, and wait until eldest brother comes. Let's go.
!”
Long Fei heard clearly. Just as he expected, Liu Bei was indeed coming to marry Mi Huan, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. Coming out from behind the tree, Long Fei hurried to Mi Huan's boudoir. He opened the door and sat down.
Mi Huan, who was by the window, was startled. He quickly turned around and saw Long Fei standing at the door with an unnatural smile on his face: "Why are you here?"
"Are you really going to marry Liu Bei?" Long Fei asked with all his face, "He is more than ten years older than you!"
Mi Huan nodded slightly: "My parents' orders cannot be violated. Although my parents are gone, my eldest brother is my father and my brother has chosen him. I have no choice but to accept my fate. What can I, a weak woman, do?"
"What if I don't let you marry?"
Mi Huan was stunned and looked at Long Fei blankly. After a long time, he slowly lowered his head, tears began to roll in his eyes, his shoulders shrugged, and a low sob came out. Long Fei stepped forward and gently
He gently pulled Mi Huan into his arms. Mi Huan did not struggle, but his sobbing voice became louder. Tears wet Long Fei's clothes, and warm tears dripped onto Long Fei's skin. Long Fei suddenly felt
I am a bit vulgar. I am obviously deceiving this girl and still pretending to be like this. It seems that just like what Jia Xu said, I am a bad learner.
"Sister! Look, how beautiful this is!" Mi Fang held a brocade box with gifts in her hands and pushed the door in. The scene in front of him made him swallow the second half of the sentence completely. He opened his mouth wide and looked dumbfounded.
looked at the two people.
Mi Huan hurriedly pushed Long Fei away and turned to wipe the tears from her face. Mi Fang looked at her sister and then at Long Fei: "This! This! What is going on?"
Mi Huan took a deep breath, calmed down her mood, and turned her face. The outfit she had just painted was completely wet with tears, and her face with pear blossoms and rain instantly hit Long Fei's chest. Mi Huan rushed
Zhuo Long Fei smiled slightly, turned to Mi Fang and said, "General Long is here to congratulate me. Second brother, please take General Long to the living room first. I will be there soon."
