Naturally, you have to go through the back door to go to the side hall from here. Mi Zhen was surprised. In order not to be seen by Jian Yong and Guan Yu, she was naturally curious and did not care to continue eavesdropping on who this new mysterious friend of Mi Zhu was.
She left in a hurry. But she was unwilling to do so. When there was no one around, she secretly walked to the back door of the side hall, hoping to hide there and listen to what Jian Yong and Guan Yu had to say.
Mi Zhen had just squatted down, and before she could take a breath, she heard a rustle of footsteps in the side hall, and then heard Guan Yu's loud voice: "Mr. Jian, this Mi Zhu is so rude.
You are so arrogant if you refuse to accept my eldest brother’s proposal of marriage!”
He then heard Jian Yong whisper: "General Guan must stay calm and not ruin the lord's important affairs! What the lord lacks most now is money and food, and the Mi Zhu family has a huge fortune. Jian can be sure that if the lord can marry his
Sister, not to mention the chance of receiving his support in the future, the dowry alone is enough to support the daily expenses of thousands of troops and horses. When the time comes, my lord will not worry about the big trouble!..."
Jian Yong's voice became softer and softer, and gradually he couldn't hear anything anymore.
In the front hall, Mi Zhu had just seen off Jian Yong and Guan Yu when he saw Gao Shun walking in quickly with a big red sticker in his hand. He cupped his hands and said, "Gao Shun is here to congratulate Master Mi!"
As the saying goes, a thief has a guilty conscience. It is not a shameful thing for Gao Shun to come to visit. If it were normal times, Mi Zhu would have no need to invite Jian Yong and Guan Yu to avoid it. Because Jian Yong and Guan Yu came to propose marriage for Liu Bei, today's situation seems a bit...
It was special. In order not to cause Gao Shun to misunderstand, Mi Zhu had no choice but to invite the two of them to a side hall.
Suddenly hearing Gao Shun's loud congratulations, Mi Zhu felt it was very harsh. She blushed and said, "Mi is so happy that I dare to bother General Gao to come here."
Gao Shun smiled and said: "Lord Mi, my lord has sent word that Gao will come to perform the ceremony of Naji's acceptance for General Zhang. As soon as Lord Mi sets an auspicious date, the two of them will be married."
Mi Zhu was surprised and happy. This way, he no longer had to worry about Jian Yong's entanglement. He couldn't help but feel relieved and said: "No news came when we were in the military camp today. How could it be so fast? Why didn't Wen Yuan himself?
Come? I think today is an auspicious day, why not make it today?"
Of course, Gao Shun did not dare to reveal the secret of Fei Ge's letter, so he could only hesitate and said: "That's right, General Zhang reported the situation to my lord-in-law a few days ago. My lord-in-law wanted to prepare gifts for General Zhang, and he was able to get them all recently, so
This news came too late. However, although the Lord has agreed to the marriage, the twenty army batons cannot be spared. General Zhang is currently lying on the bed recovering from his injuries. I am afraid that the marriage cannot be imminent."
Mi Zhu was now afraid of long nights and many dreams, and wished she could marry her sister now. By then, Jian Yong would have nothing to say. Hearing that Zhang Liao had received twenty army sticks and could not come for the time being, he couldn't help but secretly exclaimed "It's a pity" and asked:
"I wonder how injured General Zhang is and how long he will need to recuperate?"
Gao Shun muttered: "Lord Mi, you don't know. My lord is very strict with military discipline. At that time, two of his favorite generals were almost beheaded in public because they failed to stop his subordinates from killing prisoners in time. Although General Zhang's incident is not considered serious,
It's a big crime, but those twenty army sticks were beaten solidly, and there was no falsehood whatsoever. Even if there was the elixir prepared by Divine Doctor Hua himself, it would take ten and a half months at least."
When Mi Zhu heard that Zhang Liao didn't need to rest for long, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ten days and a half is ten days and a half. When General Zhang recovers, Mi will hold a wedding for them."
Gao Shun said in surprise: "Marriage is not a trivial matter, there is no need to be so anxious."
Mi Zhu sighed: "General Gao doesn't know something..."
Gao Shun understood the whole story and said seriously: "Lord Mi, the marriage between General Zhang and your sister is an open and honest matter, so why hide it? My lord once told Gao before leaving that he would like to enter into an offensive and defensive alliance with Xuzhou.
If this matter can be accomplished, then my lord and Lord Tao will be allies, and it will be a beautiful thing for the two families to become closer."
In fact, the idea of making a covenant with Tao Qian was just passed on by Liu Xin through a carrier pigeon, but it was just inconvenient for Gao Shun to say it clearly.
Hearing that Liu Xin was willing to enter into an alliance with Tao Qian, Mi Zhu felt reassured and said, "It's just that Xuande Gong's sworn brother Guan Yu is unusually brave, so I'm afraid he won't be willing to accept it."
Gao Shun said disapprovingly: "Master Mi only needs to tell the truth, how dare he use force?"
Mi Zhu thought about the same truth. After all, he was a well-known figure in Xuzhou. Even Tao Qian had to give him three points, but he was not afraid that Guan Yu would dare to do anything wrong.
Mi Zhen squatted outside the back hall, her legs were numb, but she didn't dare to stand up. Finally, someone came over and called Jian and Guan out, and then she struggled to stretch.
He took a long breath and said bitterly: "Huh, it turns out they are not interested in me, but in my family's money!"
"Little sister, who dares to look down on you? Tell me and I will break his legs!"
Mi Zhen was startled. When she turned around to look, it was her second brother Mi Fang. She couldn't help but cover her heart and said angrily: "Second brother, why are you so sneaky? You scared me to death."
Mi Fang laughed and said: "You dare to say that I am sneaky. I don't know who has been squatting here for a long time. Is there gold on the ground waiting for you to dig?"
Mi Zhen said softly: "Second brother, it turns out that you saw me here a long time ago, and you deliberately scared me. Second brother, let me tell you, I just heard the conversation between two of Liu Bei's men. They wanted to plot something against my family."
family property!"
Mi Fang was shocked and asked quickly: "Is this true? My Mi family is a big family in Xuzhou and has huge wealth. How can he try to steal it?"
Mi Zhen blushed and said, "They, they want to start with my little sister..."
Mi Fang said angrily: "I'm going to find my eldest brother right away. I won't let their plot succeed!"
The atmosphere in the front hall was already tense. Gao Shun and Guan Yu were glaring at each other angrily. Jian Yong looked at Mi Zhu with a joking look on his face and said with a smile: "Master Mi, this is your fault. Just now Jian said that he would come after returning.
How could you just pick someone out to get ahead of us?"
Jian Yong was eloquent, but Mi Zhu was no match for him. He blushed and murmured: "General Gao was originally here to perform Najina's conquest ceremony. How did it happen to me? Mr. Jian, you must not
Misunderstand."
Guan Yu gently stroked his long beard under his chin and said disdainfully: "If this man named Gao is really here to perform the Naji Nazheng Ceremony, wouldn't it be exactly what you wanted? Why did you ask us to avoid it just now? It's obviously sophistry.
Words!"
Gao Shun said angrily: "Guan, don't you dare speak nonsense. Gao is here to perform the ceremony of accepting Naji's conquest, but what are you going to do?"
"Gao Shun, don't think that you can do whatever you want with the backing of Jingzhou's army and horses! Except for Lu Bu, Guan Mou doesn't take anyone else in the world seriously! Even if your tens of thousands of horses and horses come to kill them all, Guan Mou still tells them to come.
No reply!" Guan Yu laughed loudly, then turned to Mi Zhu and said, "Master Mi, if Guan's prediction is true, you are determined to get married, but you just took a fancy to Zhang Liao's martial arts and wanted to find a strong supporter for Xuzhou.
That's all. Is Guan's martial arts inferior to Zhang Liao's?"
Although Zhang Liao was Mi Zhen's favorite, Mi Zhu did have some thoughts of poaching him at the beginning. He was an upright person and felt that Guan Yu had touched him. He was speechless.
"Arrogant! What does Lu Bu mean? No matter how powerful he is, he was defeated by my lord's two wives and ended up with his body and head missing!" Although Gao Shun has never fought against Guan Yu, he has been reminded by Liu Xin many times.
, I was still quite wary of Guan Yu, and he snorted coldly and continued, "This is the border of Xuzhou. You and I are both Tao Shijun's guests, how dare you act wild in the master's house. Guan Yu, if you want to use force, wait until you get to my house
Under the rule of my lord, or on Liu Bei's territory, what's the harm in us having a showdown?"
Guan Yu had never faced an opponent until he was defeated by Lu Bu, which brought him lifelong humiliation. In the past two years, he almost never left Xiaopei, focusing on practicing martial arts, hoping that one day he could avenge his death. At that time, information was limited, and Liu Bei had no information.
Many eyes and ears only knew that Dong Zhuo was defeated by Liu Xin, but they did not know that Lu Bu also lost his life. Suddenly he heard that Lu Bu had been killed and injured at the hands of two of Liu Xin's women. Guan Yu couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
, it seems that this Liu Xin is really not easy to mess with, so she can't help but hesitate a little.
He was not afraid, but worried about ruining Liu Bei's plan. However, when Guan Yu heard the second half of Gao Shun's sentence about coming to compete on Liu Bei's territory, the anger in his heart arose again. Everyone knows where Liu Bei is.
What's your own territory? When Gao Shun's words fell into Guan Yu's ears, they were full of sarcasm. Guan Yu's face turned even redder, his fists were clenched, making a rattling sound, and he was about to have an attack.
Mi Fang had just rushed in. When she saw this situation, she said loudly: "Everyone, my eldest brother has the final say in my sister-in-law's marriage. Don't you think you can take it by force?"
What he said makes sense. The daughter belongs to the Mi family. No one can care whether you come to propose marriage or not. But it is up to the Mi family to decide whether to agree or not. Guan Yu was immediately discouraged and could not get angry.
He slowly lowered his fist, shook his sleeves fiercely, turned around and walked out of the hall without saying goodbye.
Jian Yong originally wanted Guan Yu to have a fight with Gao Shun, so that Gao Shun would retreat. Now seeing this, he had to stand up and say: "Since the Mi family has chosen a good son-in-law, it is inconvenient for Jian to disturb him. If he offends him, he should not be disturbed."
Don’t be surprised, Lord Wangmi!”
Mi Zhu knew that it was inevitable that Liu Bei would be offended by what happened today, but in front of Gao Shun, he had no other choice but to hand over his hands and say: "It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. Just now, my younger brother made a mistake. Please ask Mr. Jian to speak to Mr. Liu."
If you say a few nice words in front of me, Mi will not say goodbye."
Gao Shun didn't know Zhang Liao's experience with the Mi family. He had just arrived in Xuzhou not long ago, and he couldn't understand Mi Zhu's difficulties. He criticized him for not rejecting Liu Bei's proposal of marriage on the spot, but he didn't say it because of Zhang Liao's face. Now.
Seeing Jian Yong and Guan Yu leaving one after another, Gao Shun didn't want to stay any longer. He cupped his hands and said, "It seems that Gao came at the wrong time today. However, now that Najina's ceremony has been performed, he will not come again."
What happened? Gao Shun said goodbye, and we will have to wait for Master Mi's notification for the future."
But I heard Mi Fang say: "General, wait a minute!"
