Liu Bei came today dressed up. He wore a newly made silk robe, his waist was straight, and his beard under his chin was carefully combed. He looked proud of the spring breeze. A large group of civilians carried several boxes of gifts, starting from the top. There are everything from cloth to all kinds of exquisite jewelry. Mi Zhu and others greeted each other at the door, and the scene was lively and cordial.
Entering the house, Liu Bei's expression suddenly changed when he saw Long Fei. He did not expect that Long Fei would be here. Long Fei took the initiative to step forward and salute: "Congratulations, County Magistrate Liu!"
Liu Bei hurriedly restored his original expression with a smile. When everyone sat down, Long Fei discovered that Liu Bei was not only accompanied by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei today, but also a scribe. This man was about the same age as Liu Bei and could only use dry To describe him, he has high cheekbones, an inward chin, and a hint of bookishness between his brows. Mi Fang secretly told Long Fei that his name was Sun Qian, who was from Beihai and came with him from Qingzhou.
Long Fei nodded. He thought of Liu Bei's three great advisers before he got Zhuge Liang: Sun Qian, Jian Yong, and Mi Zhu. Although these people did not have as many achievements as Zhuge Liang, they helped Liu Bei a lot in the early stages. Especially Sun. Qian, who could save Liu Bei from danger at every critical moment. Liu Bei was driven out of Xuzhou, and it was Sun Qian who persuaded Yuan Shao to take Liu Bei in. Liu Bei was homeless, and it was Sun Qian who went to Jingzhou to contact Liu Biao and settled in Xiaopei. Long Fei could not He consciously glanced at Sun Qian twice, but Sun Qian sat motionless with an expressionless face.
"Miss is here!" A shout made Mi Zhu and Liu Bei, who were having a cordial conversation, stop immediately.
Mi Huan came in from the door with a calm gait. Her eyes were still slightly red and swollen from crying just now. Mi Huan lowered his head and saluted everyone one by one. He did not make any move to Long Fei. Mi Zhu chuckled and said: "Sister, come here. , this is Mr. Liu I’m talking about!”
"Miss, you are polite!" Liu Bei hurriedly bowed and swept the floor. Mi Huan bowed down and returned the favor. When Liu Bei raised his head and saw Mi Huan's appearance, he was in a daze. The joy on his face seemed to be frozen, and drool ran down the corners of his mouth. Dripping onto the chest.
"Ahem!" Sun Qian coughed lightly, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Mi Zhizhong, I think this matter has been settled. How about we choose a good and auspicious day to settle this matter?"
Mi Zhu nodded: "Very good! Very good!"
Upon hearing this, Mi Huan felt dizzy unconsciously. Naturally, she also saw Liu Bei's appearance. Although it was not ugly, the vicissitudes carved by the years on his face could not be erased. In addition, his weird appearance Mi Huan felt uncomfortable with his long ears and long arms. In comparison, Long Fei was better, tall, funny, and knew a lot of things that he couldn't understand at all. Thinking of this, he unconsciously looked back. Take a look.
"I feel bad!"
This sound came too suddenly, just like in "Jane Eyre", when Rochester and Jane Eyre were having their wedding, someone suddenly revealed Rochester's secret. Everyone present was shocked. Mi Zhu looked at her with a look of hatred. Staring at Long Fei, Long Fei pretended not to see it, stretched out his hand to pull Mi Huan over and blocked him behind him: "Everyone, I feel bad! Marriage is a matter for both parties. If one party is forced to do so, this marriage does not need to be done. Held!”
"Bastard! You have no place to speak here!" Zhang Fei shouted and stood up, staring at Long Fei with wide eyes.
Long Fei looked at him without retreating at all. Sun Qian smiled slightly: "Since ancient times, marriage matters have been ordered by parents and matchmakers! The marriage between the Miss Mi family and my lord was approved by Mi Zhizhong, and General Long was an outsider. Is it inconvenient to interfere?"
"I am indeed an outsider! But the fact that I can stand here today means that I have the obligation to prove this marriage!" Long Fei looked at everyone: "In your eyes, Mi Huan, no, it's not just Mi Huan. , Women in the world are all tools! The so-called words about parents ordering matchmakers are also fabricated by you self-proclaimed gentlemen! Let me ask you, how happy do you think you can be with your first wife? "
It surprised everyone again. No one had ever mentioned this topic before. My marriage seemed to be a matter of course. A strange woman came into my life, lived with me my whole life, and had children. The better ones treated each other as guests, the worse ones looked at each other. They wouldn't even look at it. They have never thought about being happy with their first wife. Women are a dispensable thing in their hearts. Sometimes they are maids, sometimes they are nannies, and sometimes they are the ones who give birth to children. Tool. Never regarded as a person with the same status as a man.
Mi Huan's tears flowed down again. There was silence in the hall, except for the silent cry of a woman. Zhang Fei looked around, everyone was deep in thought, and suddenly roared: "No matter what I say, how dare you kid to seize the opportunity?" My eldest brother, I will teach you a lesson today!"
He punched out and went straight to Long Fei's door. Behind Long Fei was Mi Huan. He had no way to retreat, so he could only block with his left hand. Zhang Fei's left fist also came, and Long Fei stretched out his right hand to block again. At the moment of pause, Long Fei stepped forward, leaned to one side, and punched out with both fists. His right fist hit Zhang Fei's jaw hard, and his left fist hit Zhang Fei's stomach.
Zhang Fei took three steps back, became angry, and rushed forward like a hungry tiger. Long Fei didn't wait for him to get closer, and took another step forward. Using all his strength, he swung his right fist upward from between Zhang Fei's arms, hitting him. It hit Zhang Fei on the chin. The body next to Zhang Fei flew up involuntarily and fell back hard. Guan Yu quickly came over to help him, so that he was not knocked to the ground.
Zhang Fei wanted to take action, but Guan Yu held him back: "No need to fight, you are no match for him!"
Mi Zhu looked at Liu Bei and didn't know what to say. Feeling anxious, she pointed at Long Fei and said, "How did you get in! Someone, get him out!"
Seven or eight servants rushed into the door. Mi Fang burst into laughter and sternly stopped her: "Get out of here, everyone!" He walked to Long Fei's side and smiled slightly: "Brother, I don't really agree with this matter. What the general said seems to make sense, why don’t we discuss this matter further?”
"You!" Mi Zhu was about to explode with anger. She expected Mi Fang to speak for herself, but she didn't expect that she would also help outsiders. Mi Zhu shouted: "Rebellion, rebellion! Are you all going to rebel?"
Mi Fang and Mi Huan have the deepest relationship. Mi Zhu is much older than them. Mi Fang and her sister Mi Huan are only one year apart. They played and ate together since childhood, and even learned to read with their husband. Mi Zhu went out to do business with his father when he was a teenager. There were only mother, Mi Fang, and Mi Huan in the family. As the only man in the family, mother told Mi Fang to protect her sister. She heard this for more than ten years.
When Mi Zhu wanted to marry his sister to Liu Bei, Mi Fang was very reluctant. He didn't want his beloved sister to follow Liu Bei, an old man who was over thirty years old. But Mi Zhu was the eldest brother, and it was hard for him to say anything. What, I can only suppress the pain in my heart. Being made such a fuss by Long Fei, Mi Fang finally couldn't bear it anymore. Even an outsider like Long Fei spoke for her sister. As an elder brother, she must not forget her mother's instructions.
Long Fei said: "This is not a rebellion, this is what Mi Zhi did wrong! The saint convinces people with reason and relies on the majesty of the family leader to sacrifice his sister's happiness. You are an incompetent brother!"
"According to General Long, what is a marriage that has the best of both worlds?" Sun Qian asked.
Long Fei said: "I said that a happy marriage requires the consent of both parties. If County Magistrate Liu can come, he must be very in favor of it. Then we need to ask Miss Mi what she means? If Miss Mi doesn't agree, then we have to ask Magistrate Liu is back."
"Huan'er? Are you willing?" Mi Zhu asked impatiently, with the majesty of an elder brother in his eyes.
Mi Huan didn't speak, still hiding behind Long Fei and unwilling to come out. She was very confused. She didn't want to embarrass her brother, nor did she want to spend her whole life with Liu Bei. Over the past few years, she had been in charge of Mi through ups and downs. He has experienced some things in his family's property, and in his mind he really yearns for the kind of happy marriage that Long Fei just mentioned. But can it be done now? What should he do?
Mi Zhu asked again. Mi Huan still didn't answer. Long Fei said: "Mi Zhizhong, isn't it obvious? Miss is unwilling!"
"I don't want to listen to you now!" Mi Zhu glared at Long Fei, changed a different tone, walked over slowly, and asked softly: "Huan'er, brother, I want to ask you again, are you willing?"
Mi Huan kept crying with her head lowered, her tears wet her clothes, and fell to the ground drop by drop. Liu Bei looked up to the sky and sighed: "Master Zhizhong, don't embarrass your sister anymore. General Long is right, I am already at this age. , how can we marry my sister? Let’s drop this matter! Farewell!”
Liu Bei stood up and left. Sun Qian shook his head slightly. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hurriedly followed. When they passed by Long Fei, Zhang Fei looked at Long Fei fiercely: "One day, I will kill you with my own hands!"
Mi Zhu stayed with her again and again, but Liu Bei politely refused. She came here in high spirits just now, but now she returns disappointed. The hatred in Liu Bei's heart became stronger. This Long Fei seemed to be his nemesis, and nothing good would happen to him as long as he met him.
Mi Zhu didn't collapse on the ground. He had planned to marry Liu Bei and do something big, but now it seemed to be shattered. He was a little decadent. When he came back again, he yelled at Long Fei: "Get out, I don't want to see you again." You! If you are not the special envoy of the imperial court, I will kill you with one knife!"
Long Fei shook his head: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult!" After saying that, he glanced at Mi Fang, nodded slightly, turned around and walked out the door. After stepping out, he felt something was wrong, and when he turned around, he was face to face with Mi Huan. As soon as Long Fei left , Mi Huan followed, which surprised Long Fei. Looking at Mi Huan's charming and pitiful expression, Long Fei asked: "Have you decided?"
"Yeah!" After a long time, Mi Huan answered softly.
Mi Zhu yelled several times, Mi Huan seemed like a wooden man, following Long without looking back. Mi Fang laughed loudly, and Mi Zhu looked angry: "Get out of here, get out of here too! We are all the same!"
