Later, around mid-August, Liu Bei participated in a collective ancestor worship activity by the Jin tribe.
During the event, Liu Bei saw with his own eyes the dance that people performed when worshiping their ancestors.
Different from other folk songs and dances that Liu Bei had seen, when people sang and danced, several people beat bronze drums, and men and women held hands while singing and dancing.
"Crossbow", with neat and powerful steps, as if marching towards the enemy.
Is this dancing?
Liu Bei judged at that time that this kind of dance was actually a kind of combat drill. When the tribe rehearsed songs and dances, it was equivalent to training in formation, and at the same time they had to listen to slogans and drum trumpets.
According to this method of dance practice, after the dance practice, excellent soldiers who can understand the forward, retreat, and battle orders will also be trained.
What is a fighting nation?
This is called a fighting nation.
Liu Bei was very interested in this method, and he personally danced with a group of robber boys and girls, and joined their enthusiastic dance group, trying to experience the specialness of this dance for himself.
Then, Liu Bei also used the dance skills he had mastered in Luoyang to show off his dancing skills, and then personally performed sword and knife dances. He was shirtless and dripping with sweat, revealing his strong and scarred body, showing off his strong body.
posture.
This kind of enthusiastic participation made Liu Bei very popular among the Taoist community, making them all think that Liu Bei was a true warrior and worthy of their trust and following.
And this also triggered something with a softer color.
The two daughters of the speaker of the Gong family among the seven surnames fell in love with Liu Bei at this event and said they wanted to marry Liu Bei and be his wife.
Logically speaking, this is normal. Even if Liu Bei doesn't end up dancing, given his status, everyone in the Seventh Family wants to give their girls to Liu Bei.
But they also knew that this was impossible, because Liu Bei's status was too high for them to reach. Not to mention that Liu Bei already had a wife, even being a concubine was probably worth discussing.
They themselves had some ideas and had never mentioned this matter to Liu Bei. They felt that being Liu Bei's subordinates was already a good thing. In the future, they would make great contributions and improve the status of their clansmen, which would be considered a complete merit.
But the key point is that the two Gong girls are like possessed. They will not change their original intention no matter what, and insist on being Liu Bei's wife.
Their father told them not to dream, but they insisted on dreaming, and even agreed to go on a hunger strike together, saying that if they couldn't marry Liu Bei, they might as well starve to death.
The person Gong spoke to, Gong Zu, was angry at first, thinking that his two daughters were acting recklessly and ignoring them. As a result, the two daughters actually went on a hunger strike, which made him anxious.
His wife begged him not to disregard the lives of his two daughters, but after much thought, he felt that this matter was not necessarily a bad thing.
Not to mention whether Liu Bei is willing to accept it or not, it would be good for him if he could form this relationship with Liu Bei.
He was unlucky. He had three sons in his early years, but all three sons died one after another, either in battle or from illness. In the end, they were all in their fifties and almost sixty, and only two daughters survived.
Now he is old and has only two daughters. If he cannot handle his funeral properly, after his death, his family fortune will most likely be robbed by his relatives who are like wolves and tigers.
If he can establish a relationship with Liu Bei, it's hard to say how the Gong family's right to speak will be passed on in the future, but his family will be protected by Liu Bei and will not suffer disaster after his death.
Thinking of this, Gong Zu felt that he needed to talk to Liu Bei about this matter.
So he carefully found Liu Bei, crying with tears and runny nose.
He said that he only got these two daughters when he was older, and he had pampered them badly since they were young. Now they cry, make trouble, and hang themselves, plus go on a hunger strike. He really has no choice but to ask Liu Bei to see how pitiful he is and help him.
He, don't let him lose his beloved daughter in his old age.
When Liu Bei learned about this, he found it quite funny.
It's not that he hasn't thought about taking concubines, but he just took the thoughts of his subordinates into consideration, so he never carried out it, and even his mother didn't let go.
But now that Gong Zuqiu is in front of him, if he refuses to agree, if something happens, it will have a very negative impact on his actions to unite the people.
After much thought, Liu Bei decided to follow Gong Zu to his home, meet his two daughters, and see what the situation was before making a decision.
As a result, Liu Bei was stunned when they met.
Gong Zu's two daughters were actually twins. They looked exactly the same, with big eyes, round faces, and good looks. When they smiled, each had a dimple on his face, one on the left and one on the right. They formed a perfect pair. They looked really good.
When the two of them saw Liu Bei, their originally listless eyes suddenly lit up and straightened. They rushed forward enthusiastically and took Liu Bei's hand to dance with him, catching Liu Bei off guard.
The people are good at singing and dancing, and their national character is full of enthusiasm. They go straight to the matter and don't like to beat around the bush. This character is vividly reflected in these two girls.
They directly told Liu Bei that they fell in love with Liu Bei at first sight, coveted his body, wanted to marry him, and didn't mind the two of them together.
Liu Bei couldn't laugh or cry about this.
"I already have a wife. If you marry me, you can only be a concubine. According to Han people's rules, the status of a concubine is lower than that of a wife. Moreover, I am busy with official duties and cannot be with you all the time. If you marry me, you cannot be a concubine.
Now that we are so free, we may feel depressed and uncomfortable. Have you ever thought about these things?"
The two looked at each other, then shook their heads together.
"have not thought."
The two said in unison.
"I just like Junhou."
"I feel happy when I see you."
“If you don’t see it, you will miss it.”
"You can dream it."
"If I were not a prince, I would rather not marry!"
"Yes, I would rather not marry!"
Each person's passionate confession came one after another, which made Liu Bei a little unable to cope, so he looked at Gong Zu who was standing aside with an incomprehensible expression on his face.
"Gong Jun, your two young ladies are naive. They don't know what it means to get married, and they don't know what life is like after getting married. I'm afraid it's not something they can endure. I think they should think more carefully before talking. You
What do you think?"
Gong Zu sighed and held Liu Bei's hand.
"They are spoiled by me. They are innocent and naive, but they are a bit lawless. I am older and I really can't bear to control them, and I am also worried that they will suffer in the future because of this kind of temperament.
So I have always hoped to find a good husband for them, who can take care of them, restrain them, discipline them well, and cure their temper. If you are willing, it will be my Gong family, who is also the largest in my clan.
of glory."
Gong Zu looked at Liu Bei expectantly.
The two daughters also looked at Liu Bei expectantly, and the anticipation in their eyes was about to solidify. It was as if Liu Bei had made a huge mistake if he shook his head.
Being in such a situation, Liu Bei's brain was spinning rapidly.
After much thought, he finally made up his mind and smiled helplessly at Gong Zu.
"If you are determined to do so, then it would be an honor for me to take your two young ladies as concubines, and I am very willing."
Liu Bei stood up and saluted Gong Zu to show his respect for him.
Gong Zu was stunned for a moment, with a look of ecstasy on his face.
He immediately held Liu Bei's hand tightly.
"Mr. Gong will definitely remember your great kindness! In the future, whenever you need something from me, Gong will never refuse!"
The two girls didn't react at first, but when they saw their father was so happy, they understood that Liu Bei had agreed to this.
In excitement, the two girls didn't say anything. They came forward together and hugged Liu Bei. Then they dragged Liu Bei to their boudoir, saying that they wanted Liu Bei to know more about them and to show Liu Bei their beauty.
Accommodation environment and the like.
Liu Bei was greatly frightened, but Gong Zu laughed and was very happy.
This custom was indeed a bit too hot. Liu Bei was sweating profusely due to the heat, which was somewhat unbearable.
