At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, heirs were quite important to a certain force.
Liu Bei previously adopted his adopted son Liu Feng because his son Liu Mang failed to live up to expectations, and the future of the trumpet Liu Chan was unknown.
Now that Liu Mang is gradually showing his talents, marriage has naturally become a top priority.
For Liu Bei, his son's marriage was a matter of course.
"Yun Chang, Yide has been wandering with me for many years, and Xingcai and Yinscreen are similar in age to Mang'er, so they are good candidates."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he looked at Zhuge Liang, waiting for the military advisor's answer.
"The daughter of General Guan and General Zhang is a virtuous and virtuous woman, so she is naturally a good choice for marriage."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, and then said with a smile: "It's just that Liu Jingsheng is weak and listens to the woman's advice. If he is ill, he may not live long!"
"My lord doesn't want to take over Jingzhou, so he will have to rely on the power of the Sun family in Jiangdong!"
"If the young master can win over the Sun family's daughter, it will be a good thing."
"Of course, it all depends on the wishes of the lord and the young master."
The marriage of a big shot is not just about love.
A marriage like Liu Mang's will definitely be mixed with a lot of political interests.
"Military advisor, what you said is true... Manger must marry the daughter of the second brother and the third brother."
"As for Jiangdong's Sun family, just like Mang'er said before, they can only be regarded as prostitutes!"
"We are just trying to be vain and conciliatory, and we must never have a close relationship with him."
When Liu Bei was considering it carefully, he saw Yi Ji coming with a happy face.
"Uncle Emperor! Liu Jingzhou invites you and the young master to go!"
"Last time, the young master showed his talents for the first time and attracted Liu Jingzhou's continuous praise."
"I have summoned your uncle this time and specifically asked you to pick up the young master from Shuijing Academy. This shows how much he values the young master!"
Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang, who nodded.
As expected, Liu Biao was well informed. As soon as Xinye started doing business with the four major families in Jiangdong, Liu Biao wanted to summon Liu Bei.
"Okay! I will pick up the traitor and go to visit my brother!"
Liu Bei took a deep breath. This meeting was crucial in determining whether their father and son could continue to stay in Jingzhou.
If Liu Biao is not happy, Liu Bei is likely to lose his base in Xinye.
…
Return to Xiangyang.
Liu Mang still likes to look for beauty. After all, Jingzhou women have the plump figure of northern girls and the gentleness of Jiangnan girls.
Liu Mang's eyes shone, Deng Ai saw it, and whispered in admiration: "Young master always observes the city defense, he is really... Ai's wise master!"
Deng Ai slowed down his speech and tried his best not to stutter. After a long period of practice, he has made great progress.
Zhang Fei was very interested in his eldest nephew's book boy and said with a smile: "Boy, you are wrong! My eldest nephew is just admiring the beauty!"
"As the saying goes, beauties are like jade and swords like rainbows! When I have time, I, Mr. Zhang, will give you some pictures of ladies!"
When Deng Ai heard this, his face turned red and his ears turned red, comparable to the red-faced Guan Gong.
"Yide, don't tease that little brother."
Guan Yu caressed his beautiful beard and said with a smile: "To be respected by Mang'er, this little brother must have something special!"
Deng Ai was so nervous that he couldn't speak. This was Liu Bei's right-hand man!
Deng Ai bowed and saluted, which attracted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's favor. After the two nodded, they said no more.
"Young master, you must be careful. Liu Biao's summoning of the lord this time is definitely not that simple."
Zhao Yun followed Liu Mang. He is now Liu Mang's personal bodyguard.
"Don't worry, General Zilong! With you and me guarding you, thousands of troops can come and go freely!"
Gan Ning hummed and said: "The soldiers in Jingzhou are extremely weak! In the land of Jiangxia, except for Su Fei's troops, the rest of Huang Zu's troops are nothing but wine sacks and rice sacks!"
Gan Ning has worked in Jiangxia for many years and knows the place very well.
"Uncle Zhao, Xingba, Liu Biao this time is just a test."
"His health is getting worse every year, and he must be on guard against my father."
"But if you ask me to come, I guess that guy Liu Cong will instigate you."
When Liu Mang saw a beautiful girl, he also whistled, causing the girls to flee.
Liu Bei was so angry that he scolded him repeatedly, and he restrained himself a lot.
The father and son visited Liu Biao together.
It's just that after not seeing him for two months, Liu Jingsheng's complexion has weakened a lot.
This is the sorrow of an old husband and a young wife. Liu Biao's ambitions were completely consumed by wine, sex and wealth.
"Brother Xuande, please take your seat quickly!"
"Mang'er, come here and let uncle take a look!"
Liu Biao touched Liu Mang's arm and felt that he was much stronger.
With the effect of medicinal baths and the strict master Zhao Yun, it is difficult for Liu Mang to stay strong!
"Brother, please take care of yourself!"
Liu Bei bowed and said: "Bei brought some supplements, I hope my brother will accept them!"
While Liu Bei was talking, he took out a small bag of sugar from his sleeve.
Liu Biao was delighted when he saw Lie Xin, and then laughed and said: "My brother has been thinking about my body all the time! I heard that my brother has recently started a wine business with Jiangdong?"
coming!
Liu Bei secretly thought that, as the military advisor said, Liu Jingsheng was still jealous of Xinye's wine business.
"Brother, that drink..."
"Uncle! My father has no brains and doesn't want to start a wine business, let alone my cheap master Zhuge Liang!"
In order to highlight the cheap dad's uselessness, Liu Mang immediately said: "Actually, these drinks are all made by me!"
oh?
Liu Biao frowned, he didn't expect Liu Mang to be so alert!
If he had told Liu Bei directly, the latter would not dare not refuse.
But this wine business was run by Liu Mang. As an elder, how could he ask for it?
If this was to spread, where would he put Liu Biao's face?
"My dear nephew, you are indeed a talented person! If you have time, I will send some jars of good wine to my uncle!"
"Although the wine is good, uncle, don't be greedy! My alcohol content is high. Drinking too much will do all kinds of harm to your body without any benefit!"
Liu Mang told the truth, but it sounded a bit harsh to Liu Biao's ears.
Cai Hao sneered and said: "Huangkou boy! That Xinye wine was clearly made by Zhuge Liang! But you want to take it for yourself, how shameless!"
"If you can really come up with such a clever trick, why don't you come up with a plan for Liu Jingzhou and let me, Jingzhou, make a lot of money?"
Haha! Turns out I’m jealous!
"Cai Mao, as the commander-in-chief of the navy, you are ashamed to ask a twelve-year-old naughty boy for advice!"
Guan Yu Danfeng narrowed his eyes and looked ready to kill someone at any moment, which made Cai Hao tremble all over.
"My eldest nephew is still studying at Shuijing Academy, so how can I have time to make money for you? You can't even hope to get a penny or five baht from my eldest nephew!"
Zhang Fei shouted loudly and scolded Cai Mao as his son. He even scolded Lu Bu as a slave with three surnames. How would he spoil Cai Mao and Liu Biao?
"Yun Chang, Yide! Don't be rude!"
Liu Bei cupped his hands and said, "I hope you can forgive me, brother!"
Liu Biao was angry and snorted coldly: "Good nephew, don't think only of your father and forget about me as your uncle!"
Cai Mao sneered and said: "My lord, I think Liu Bei and his son are talking nonsense. They clearly have different intentions. Maybe they have colluded with Jiangdong Sun Quan for a long time!"
Liu Bei's face was ashen, he knew that Liu Biao was very suspicious now.
"I do have a business in the underworld that is sure to make a profit without losing any money. I wonder if Governor Cai is willing to do it?"
"Haha! As long as you make money in business, why wouldn't Cai dare?"
After hearing this, Liu Mang said calmly: "Captain Cai is indeed not suitable for business in the world of the world!"
