Chapter 503 The consort of the Han Dynasty needs to be able to pass on the lineage
In Baimahou Mansion, there were three days left before the wedding, and Lu Yu returned.
Cai Zhaoji took Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Diao Chan in the backyard and the two-and-a-half-year-old Lingju to go out to meet Lu Yu.
After seeing Lu Yu, Cai Zhaoji was the first to greet him, with a slightly resentful look in her eyes, and whispered something in a low voice.
"You still know you're coming back?"
After this sentence, there was another sentence, but that sentence was softer, so soft that even Lu Yu could only hear it slightly.
Lu Yu also lowered his tone, "Sister is at home, how dare you not come back?"
Cai Zhaoji glanced at him and immediately pulled Lu Yu into the Baimahou Mansion.
"Husband..."
In unison, it was Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao saluted Lu Yu, but Xiao Qiao's expression was more resentful, like a resentful woman who had been relegated to the cold palace for many years.
"Everyone, get up." Lu Yu smiled.
Reaching out to pull the sisters up, Da Qiao smiled back, while Xiao Qiao bit her lip.
Lu Yu didn't notice, but walked directly to Diao Chan, squatted down, and faced Lingju. "Lingju is already so big? Are you a good boy in the mansion?"
Lingju saw that Lu Yu seemed a little scared and hid behind Diao Chan.
"Lingju is very well-behaved. Thank you very much for your concern, Marquis Baima." Diaochan added for Lingju...
Lu Yu nodded, raised his head and looked directly into Diao Chan's eyes. Looking directly at him at such a close distance, Diao Chan's beautiful cheeks were ready to be revealed. What Lu Yu felt most intuitively was the four words "breathtaking". Such a beauty, let
People are intoxicated.
Ahem...
With a slight cough, Lu Yu came back to his senses. It was so beautiful that he almost fell in.
"Mrs. Ren, I have been asked to bring you some words. Wait until evening and I will write to Madam."
Diao Chan’s surname is Ren.
This was told to Lu Yu by Diao Chan herself. Her real name was Ren Hongchang.
As for "Diao Chan", it was actually just a title for a palace woman. At that time, the Shi Chang Shi was in chaos and Yuan Shao led people into the palace. It was Wang Yun who saved Diao Chan. When asked about her name, she felt that the name Ren Hongchang was not nice, so she simply gave it to her.
He called her the palace maid's title "Diao Chan".
call…
When she heard someone speaking, Diao Chan's heart palpitated slightly, her hands suddenly tightened, and her fists became harder.
"Mom, it hurts..."
Ling Ju's voice brought Diao Chan back to her senses, and she quickly let go.
He bowed to Lu Yu and saluted: "Thank you so much, Marquis Baima."
Xiao Qiao felt a little sad when she saw Lu Yu and Diao Chan being so close. At this moment, Lu Yu opened his mouth and said, "Sister Zhaoji, have you prepared the meal? It's been a long time since I've eaten the dishes cooked by my sister. I miss you so much!"
"Next time I go out for such a long time and don't come back, there won't be any dishes." Cai Zhaoji complained and immediately turned around. "I'm going to cook. Brother Yu will wait a moment."
"I'm going to help too..." Da Qiao groaned and followed Cai Zhaoji towards the kitchen. Diao Chan raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Yu, then at Xiao Qiao, smiled slightly, and slowly returned to the house.
Lu Yu and Xiao Qiao were the only two people left in the courtyard here.
"I'll go too..." Xiao Qiao was angry and planned to run to the kitchen.
Lu Yu gently held Xiao Qiao's sleeve, and Xiao Qiao's face turned red. "What are you going to do? Are you going to cause trouble?"
"I…"
Before Xiao Qiao could speak, Lu Yu whispered, "You stay, there's something wrong!"
Xiao Qiao's face turned red.
The two of them walked into Lu Yu's room together, and Xiao Qiao changed him into a uniform.
Lu Yu chuckled. "You looked strange as soon as you walked in? Are you jealous?"
Xiao Qiao was embarrassed: "Where is it?"
Lu Yu shook his head. "Really not?"
"She is the princess, the wife, and I am the concubine..." Xiao Qiao pouted. "Am I worthy of being jealous?"
"Pretend, keep pretending!" Lu Yu smiled slightly, then closed the door with a "clang" and drew the curtain.
"Husband? What do you want... to do?"
"Who said that? If I don't come back in a few days, all the little bass will come out?" Lu Yu walked towards Xiao Qiao with a smile.
Ah...ah...
Xiao Qiao suddenly felt that there was a bad person in Baimahou Mansion.
What she and her sister said in private reached Lu Yu's ears.
Before she could recover, Lu Yu's hands were already on her shoulders.
Xiao Qiao was shocked and ashamed. "Husband, the day after tomorrow...the day after tomorrow is your wedding!"
"So?" Lu Yu narrowed his eyes. "Sister Zhaoji just told me four words..."
ah…
Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, and Lu Yu's words came out one after another. "The rain and dew are all wet."
That's right, I just met Sister Zhao Ji, and her first words were "You still know how to come back", followed by another sentence, "Even if you marry two wives, you still have to be exposed to rain and dew. Xiao Qiao misses you so much, now."
go…"
Lu Yu was slightly surprised at that time.
Who would have thought that there was another sentence behind Sister Zhaoji: "If you don't go, sister will be angry."
Therefore, Lu Yucai cooperated with everyone in acting, left Xiao Qiao behind, and pulled her into the room.
After all, you always have to listen to what your sister says!
In the Baimahou Mansion, there are many things that cannot be controlled by one's own control.
…
…
On the north bank of the Yellow River, outside Liyang City, the sun sets in the west, and a few rays of the setting sun hang on a military stronghold here.
This is the station where Yuan Tan's troops and horses are stationed. There are as many as 150,000 soldiers and horses.
You know, in addition to the 70,000 troops and horses that Yuan Shao, his father, felt sorry for Yuan Tan before his death and supplied him with supplies, there were also 80,000 troops and horses that he transferred from Nanpi.
Nowadays, the camp where Yuan Tan is stationed and Liyang City where Yuan Shang is stationed in person form a horn, and a natural barrier is established with the help of the Yellow River to prevent Cao's army from going north.
Chinese army tent.
With a "bang" sound, Yuan Tan angrily smashed the bamboo slips in his hand to the floor. He hid his other hand under the table and quietly clenched his clothes and legs. His temples were covered with sweat.
Guo Tu on the side also frowned.
"It's unbearable. The young master just asked Yuan Shang for armors for 150,000 soldiers. Yuan Shang didn't give them to him. He didn't want to think about what the young master wanted these armors for. Isn't it to counterattack Cao Cao? Yixue
Shame on you?"
Just as Guo Tu said.
The reason why Yuan Tan and Guo Tu were so angry was because of... one thing!
The news about the wedding of White Horse Marquis Lu Yu, and the marriage of two ladies from the same house, has spread to the north of the Yellow River.
Yuan Tan and his counselors Guo Tu and Xin Ping all believed that Guandu was empty and that this was an opportunity to counterattack Cao Cao.
It happened that the armors of Yuan Tan's 150,000 soldiers and horses were too worn out, and there were more than 100,000 armors in Ye City. Therefore, Yuan Tan sent someone to ask for it from his younger brother Yuan Shang.
He even made it clear that he was going to counterattack Cao Cao and take revenge.
It stands to reason.
Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses were used in this matter to avenge the Yuan family's blood feud, so Yuan Shang should agree.
Yuan Shang originally agreed to the big brother's request.
He thought that even though Cao Cao and Lu Yu were treacherous and cunning, they were getting married now and they were not in Guandu. They could make a surprise attack... but they could still take some advantage.
But... I just promised my eldest brother these armors.
On the back foot, the arrival of a person made Yuan Shang murmur in his heart.
The person who came was none other than Ju Zong, Ju Shou's younger brother.
Along with it, there was also Sima Yi dressed as a young boy.
When Ju Zong's brother Chen Ming was still alive, Guo Tu repeatedly sabotaged his plans, leading to the overthrow of the Battle of Guandu. It is not an exaggeration to say that Guo Tu succeeded more than he failed.
How can I defeat Cao Cao by earning armor this time?
It is clear that he is taking this opportunity to strengthen himself and seek Yuan Shang's position.
Yuan Shang and Feng Ji heard it, and it made sense. After all, the fine traditions passed down from the Yuan family's ancestors were just fighting in the nest, right?
Back then, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu could slander and attack each other. Why couldn't Yuan Tan have this idea?
But Juzong went to Yuan Tan's camp and explained his words with more jealousy...
At this time, Yuan Tan and all his counselors exploded!
"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"
With a bang, Yuan Tan suddenly stood up and punched the table hard again. At this moment, he was filled with anger.
"Mr. Tan, I have something to say here. I don't know whether I should say it or not?"
At this moment, Ju Zong's words blurted out.
"speak!"
Yuan Tan glared at him, he knew that this was Jushou's younger brother.
After the Battle of Guandu, Jushou preferred death to surrender and was beheaded at Yuanmen, which made him feel sorry for the Ju family.
Therefore.
This time... even though he heard such an angry thing, Yuan Tan did not get angry at Juzong.
"Actually, my brother once told me something." Juzong looked back at Sima Yi, who was dressed as a boy.
Then, he spoke according to his instructions. "Brother specifically mentioned that it was actually Shen Zhengnan's idea that Mr. Yuan adopted Mr. Tan out!"
Huo…
It was better not to say this. As soon as he said it, Yuan Tan, who was already furious, suddenly stood up.
"What? What did you say?"
He was furious...
You know, the fact that he was adopted by his father to his deceased uncle was an eternal nightmare in Yuan Tan's heart.
It was precisely because of this that he, the eldest son, lost the opportunity to inherit his father's great legacy. This was something he could never, ever let go of.
"It turns out that...it's Shen Zhengnan? He, it turns out to be a villain like him!"
Yuan Tan's eyes were almost splitting.
Matching!
It was Yuan Shang’s person from the very beginning!
Gu Lun
So that's it... It turns out that all of this was Yuan Shang's design! It was they who lost their position as the heir apparent and their identity as heirs!
All of a sudden, Yuan Tan felt as if his scars had been uncovered, more like he knew all the conspiracy theories... The anger that was already filled with him was completely ignited and exploded at this moment.
Sima Yi, who was pretending to be a servant, murmured in his heart, if what Chief Lu mentioned in the letter was true, then in this atmosphere, someone should be assisting?
Sima Yi cautiously glanced at Guo Tu.
According to what Director Lu said, Guo Tu is "one of our own"?
Just then...
Guo Tu's eyes were fixed. He pondered for a moment and then immediately chanted.
"Sir, are you still going to endure it?"
Well…
After saying this, Sima Yi was stunned for a moment.
As expected, he is "one of our own", good brother, it's okay if he doesn't say anything, but when he opens his mouth... it's absolutely amazing, this is a special assist!
"What does Mr. Guo mean?"
Yuan Tan stared at Guo Tu, as if... Guo Tu's one sentence was more effective than Ju Zong's ten.
Of course, Juzong still has something in his belly. What Sima Yi taught him has not been finished yet?
"Mr. Tan, to tell you the truth, my brother once proposed to Mr. Yuan. At that time, he said, 'In the world, thousands of people are chasing rabbits, and one person can get it. The greedy will be stopped, so the division is determined. The eldest son of Tan should be the heir.
And if you rebuke the envoys and stay outside, you will cause the disaster."
Speaking of this, Juzong took a step forward and spoke solemnly.
"Master Tan, professionalism...you taste it, you taste it carefully!"
call…
Yuan Tan took a breath of cold air, and his eyes narrowed.
Juzong's words were taught by Sima Yi, and they were written by Juzong in the letter. They are true.
As for the meaning.
It means that if ten thousand people chase a rabbit, and one person catches it in the end, others will stop, because the ownership has been determined, and the rabbit belongs to that person, and no one else will fight for it.
Yuan Tan was the eldest son and was in good health. According to logic, he should be the heir, but Yuan Gong excluded him, and the disaster in Jizhou was laid.
Bang…
Yuan Tan clenched his fist and slammed it against the table.
"snort…"
"If it hadn't been for Shen Zhengnan, if it hadn't been for Yuan Shang who harmed me, how could my father not listen to what Mr. Ju said and adopt me out?
Yes...it's tolerable, mature and tolerable!"
Yuan Tan seemed to have made some kind of determination.
"Young Master Tan." Guo Tu added fuel to the fire at the right time. "The day of Lu Yu's wedding must be the most relaxed moment in Liyang City. At that time, Young Master can attack Yuan Shang with an absolute military advantage!"
"If he doesn't give me this armor, how can I get it myself? Yuan Shang is not right in the first place, so my lord doesn't take it. When will we wait?"
Huo…
After saying this, Yuan Tan looked at Guo Tu, then at Xin Ping, and then at Ju Zong.
After a brief pause, he clenched his fists and immediately ordered: "Secretly send an order to the generals of each battalion to attack Liyang City in two days. I want that stupid brother to die on the bank of the Yellow River!"
"Here..."
Guo Tu and Xin Ping accepted the order.
Juzong looked back at Sima Yi with a meaningful look in his eyes.
It seems that what he wants to express is that, as expected... Commander Lu is sincere, Yuan Tan really has "one of his own" around him!
And the acting is completely realistic!
…
…
Xudu City is very lively, with countless red silks covering the streets and alleys.
On the street, cars and BMWs drive to the Cheval Blanc Mansion from time to time. From time to time, there are discussions among young girls on the roadside... about which wealthy noble family is sending congratulatory gifts to the Cheval Blanc Mansion.
The busiest ones are Guang Luqing and Taichang, who are in charge of etiquette...
Of course, Lu Yu is not easy either.
And there is one…
In ancient times, when a princess got married, there was actually a rule for the prince-in-law, which was a trial marriage.
In a popular sense, under the guidance of the nanny, a "palace girl" was brought to the palace, and then she was asked to try out the consort's small body. Is it very strong?
Of course, it doesn't matter if you're not strong...
These are not important, what is important is that the prince-in-law must at least be able to carry on the family line!
There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having offspring...
In traditional thinking…
The person who marries the princess can be a scumbag, or he can be uneducated, but... it is of far-reaching significance whether he can continue the family line and have successors.
If something goes wrong, the younger one says sorry to the princess, the older one says sorry to the ancestors and parents. Based on the special status of Princess Wannian, I guess she has to feel sorry for the man and the country.
Of course, the princesses of the Han Dynasty have also suffered this loss before.
Regarding this…
Lu Yu was confused.
He feels that during this period, he has almost become a tool.
Is he in good shape? Can't you ask the princess? She knows best...
But...
You can think this way in your heart, but you can’t really say it, right?
An old woman led seven sedans and placed them outside the door of Lu Yu's pavilion.
"Master Marquis, please don't embarrass us. Queen Fu has discussed it with Mrs. Ding of Xiahou Mansion. These rules are indispensable. Young Master Marquis, please choose one of these seven sedans. Soon..."
hehe…
Lu Yu said "hehe".
You are very fast, your whole family is very fast...
"Didn't I make it clear enough? I don't do trial marriages!"
Lu Yu walked out of the house without finishing his clothes.
"Ahem..."
The old grandma coughed, and the maid beside her understood and opened the door curtains of the seven sedans. Among them sat seven women aged twenty-eight, both young and beautiful.
Unless you know these rules in advance.
Lu Yu suspected that this was to test the cadres?
Of course, these women held trial marriages for princesses and noble daughters of the Xiahou family, which was extremely honorable to their families. The key was that the trial marriage partner was the newly famous upstart, the handsome and handsome White Horse Marquis Lu Yu.
Although the price is not being able to remarry, this qualification is enough to exchange for the glory and wealth of the family, and even... can become a female official in the palace.
Of course…
Lu Yu was not allowed to know their names, this was to prevent them from getting together in the future.
These rules…
Guangluqing, who was in charge of etiquette, ordered the female officials to tell all the stories to Lu Yu's "parent" Cai Zhaoji, and Cai Zhaoji also told Lu Yu one by one.
"Master Marquis, please don't embarrass us. We are also under orders. This matter was discussed by the Queen and Mrs. Ding of the Xiahou family."
"If the Marquis doesn't like these eight, then we can only exchange eight more for the Marquis, or...which one the Marquis likes, you can tell me in advance, and I will find a way to send it to the Marquis."
This is a real test for cadres!
Which cadre can withstand such a test?
"Ahem..."
Lu Yu was also speechless. He simply stretched out his hand and planned to pick one at random.
Never thought that it would be at this moment.
"No need to choose, I'll go!"
Xiao Qiao walked out of the house, as if she had just put on her clothes.
this…
The old grandma was stunned for a moment, but she had been doing this kind of errand for many years and had a sharp eye. She could tell something from the blush on Xiao Qiao's cheeks.
"This couldn't be better, it couldn't be better."
The old slave quickly sent someone to invite Xiao Qiao... After inviting her into the sedan chair, she had to be taken to the female medical officer for a checkup and physical examination. Along with this, the Queen and Mrs. Ding had to ask her questions.
Of course, normally, this rule belongs to the palace, and Mrs. Ding is not required... But this time the Han court's attitude was very low, and everything was discussed with the Xiahou Mansion.
"you…"
Seeing the sedan carrying Xiao Qiao being sent away, Lu Yu hurriedly greeted, "Send it back to me properly."
The grandma smiled and said: "Since she is the concubine of the Marquis's house, and she is not a strange woman, naturally...it is natural that she will be sent back to Marquis Baima."
call…
Lu Yu breathed out softly, what the hell is this!
…
…
Just when Lu Yu was busy and dizzy about the wedding.
A group of soldiers and horses crossed Mount Tai at night, departed from Taishan County in Yanzhou, quietly arrived in Hebei, and headed towards Guandu.
It seems to be performing a certain task.
They were all walking on mountain roads, and they were traveling very fast.
No one found them.
They were like ghosts, walking at night and lurking during the day...and each of them carried a scimitar on their back, and the edge of the scimitar revealed a bloodthirsty light.
