Chapter 170: Zhao Fan's sister-in-law
The banquet hall of the government office is quite large, even if it is located in the middle of nowhere, the building of the government office is built according to the specifications of Taishou, which is not only spacious, but also quite stylish.
Of course, the so-called style is only more reasonable to arrange, in fact, the banquet guests in this era are all low tables, one person and one case, although there are many people who come, but those who can enter this banquet hall are basically the number one people in Guiyang, and others are either accompanied by them or are not qualified to enter this hall.
People are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and at this moment, in this banquet hall, or in the entire government office, the high and low are clear at a glance.
Liu Yi sat on the main seat and said a few polite words, there is still some experience in this regard, since the invention of wine in Huaxia, although the times are constantly evolving, the wine table culture has never been outdated, and even continues to influence neighboring countries.
Playing with the wine buds in his hand, but not much drunk, Liu Yi raised the wine buds and watched many people staring at the food on the table, a little funny, these people should be quite powerful people in Guiyang, and it is enough to show the power of Tiangong Cauldron to make them so worried about eating, which can be regarded as an advertisement for Mocheng in disguise.
In fact, it's quite boring, the purpose of these people coming, although they haven't opened their mouths yet, but they can probably understand something, do you invite credit, now that the Jingnan region belongs to Liu Bei, these people are here to show loyalty, and secondly, to find out how Liu Yi will govern Guiyang, and what is the difference between Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the past.
Don't think that you haven't fought a county in vain, but in fact, such a place is sometimes more troublesome to deal with than to fight it directly, you see Lingling, now that the decree is being implemented over there, how many dare to oppose it?
Compliments are naturally indispensable, but these words, just listen to them, don't take them seriously, otherwise you will be really stupid.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became warmer.
With a little bit of wine, Zhao Fan smiled at Liu Yi and said, "Mr. Guan is younger than Fan, I don't know if Mr. has ever been married?" ”
Liu Yi looked at Zhao Fan and nodded: "I just got married last year." ”
"Then I don't know if there are concubines in Mr.'s family?" Zhao Fan hesitated for a moment and asked.
Liu Yi looked at Zhao Fan, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but he was vigilant in his heart, shook his head and said: "My husband and wife are quite affectionate, and I haven't thought about taking a concubine." ”
"Sir's words are wrong, and the big husband is a group of wives and concubines." Zhao Fan shook his head and said, "Besides, with Mr.'s current status, if he has a wife and no concubine, wouldn't he be a husband in vain?" ”
I'm afraid of kidney loss!
Liu Yi looked at Zhao Fan speechlessly, how many wives and concubines this man has to do with whether it is a husband or not? Zhuge Liang didn't take a concubine, why didn't you go to him?
"If you have something to say, you might as well speak up." Liu Yi looked at Zhao Fan and smiled.
Zhao Fan didn't speak, just ordered everyone to disperse, and after whispering a few words to the servant, the servant turned around and left, and after a while, a beautiful woman dressed in a vegetarian came in and bowed slightly to Liu Yi.
"What do you mean?" Liu Yi's gaze stayed on the beautiful woman's face for a moment, and then looked at Zhao Fandao.
"This is my sister-in-law." Zhao Fan smiled and said: "Mr. Jiumu's name is unknown, and today I heard that Mr. was hosting a banquet, so I entrusted me, hoping to see Mr. Majestic." ”
"I've seen my sister-in-law." Liu Yi bowed slightly at the beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman didn't say much, and after toasting, she silently retreated.
Liu Yi looked at Zhao Fan, this scene was a little abrupt.
Zhao Fan said with a smile: "Sir, don't blame, there are some reasons for this, it's not good to say in public, the first brother has abandoned the world for three years, and the sister-in-law is widowed, and the end is not over, and the lower officials often persuade him to remarry, but the sister-in-law is quite arrogant, and it is said that the person who has all three things will not marry." ”
"Oh?" Liu Yi took the wine, but just answered and did not answer.
Zhao Fan saw that Liu Yi didn't answer, and said to himself: "First, you must be both civil and military, second, you must be dignified, and third, you must be of the same age, as long as you meet these three, you are willing to be a concubine, sir, how can you say there is such a clever thing in the world?" Mr. is not only dignified, this time with 2,000 soldiers and horses swept the land of the four counties, both civil and military, and the same age as the sister-in-law, is in line with the sister-in-law said, this is a match made in heaven, if Mr. does not think the sister-in-law is ugly, willing to dowry, the good of the world, how? ”
Liu Yi didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Fan a little strangely, this scene was also staged in the romance, but the target was not him, but Zhao Yun, those three conditions seem to be a little different, you made this up, right?
At that time, when I was reading books or watching TV, I only felt that Zhao Yun was too rigid, but now, Liu Yi felt that something was wrong, this Zhao Fan was arresting who to marry whom, he suspected that even if Zhang Fei came, this Zhao Fan could make up three reasons, such as being ugly, having a loud voice or something, that picture, tsk......
"This matter still needs to be discussed with the insider." Liu Yi shook his head and smiled, there is no need to turn his face, people are also kind, he is more curious about why Zhao Fan did this.
"Sir, this matter of marrying, you are in charge, and you are still afraid of people like Mr. Chengcheng?" Zhao Fan frowned.
"It's not fear of guilt, but respect, my prefect doesn't understand, but the insider and I get acquainted with each other in adversity, and we have to discuss such things with her, and I hope that the prince will forgive." Liu Yi stood up and smiled, somehow, what he said reminded Liu Yi of when he was in Wollongong, Lao Wang next door and his fierce wife, which was really afraid of guilt.
In history or romance, why didn't Zhao Yun agree? The appearance and temperament of the Fan family are all the best choices, this has to be changed to another person, I'm afraid it's hard to refuse, right?
"That being the case, it's the lower official Meng Lang." Zhao Fan sighed and said to Liu Yi: "It's getting late, so the lower officials won't bother." ”
Liu Yi nodded and asked people to see off the guests.
"Sir, why don't you agree to such a good thing?" Wei Yan came in from outside the door, obviously he had secretly heard what had just happened.
"How can there be such a good thing in the world?" Liu Yi shook his head: "If you are courteous, you must ask for something, believe it or not, today is Yide here, then Zhao Fan can also make up a reason to marry his sister-in-law." ”
"Won't it?" Wei Yan looked at Liu Yi in surprise, and then his face showed anger: "Then Zhao Fan wants to harm Mr.?" ”
"I don't know this, but there is no such good thing waiting for you in this world, it's not so much a coincidence, I believe that someone set up a game, it's the same as marching and fighting, the more you feel that you have the chance to win, the more you have to be careful." Liu Yi said to Wei Yan: "Pick a few clever people in the army, disguise yourself as ordinary people and listen to me." ”
"Listen to the woman?" Wei Yan asked.
"Most of the people who can't hear anything about her, you go and let someone listen to Brother Zhao Fan." Liu Yi shook his head and said: "There is also Zhao Fan's past, what is his official reputation, what his preferences are, what his personality is, and how he interacts with people." ”
This is someone's territory, it is not difficult to conceal or modify a woman's past, and Liu Yi is not curious about this woman, in such an era, it is difficult for a woman's fate to make her own decisions.
"This ......" Wei Yan smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it's hard to hear it all for a while." ”
"It's okay, we have time." Liu Yi said with a smile.
In the next few days, the main thing is to build a temple to see if it can bring the attributes you want, as for this matter, it's just curious, anyway, I don't want to take care of things in the future, but I'm just quite curious about Zhao Fan's intentions.
"Whoa." Wei Yan agreed.
"Also, I recommend you to Uncle Huang as a county guard, but it is unlikely to be." Liu Yi looked at Wei Yan and said: "In the next few years, the main thing is to recuperate, there will be no major wars, most of them are a military position, as for where it is arranged, it is difficult to say, but in fact, I hope you can be a civilian." ”
"Why is that?" Wei Yan looked at Liu Yi suspiciously.
"Although you have a talent, but your personality is too radical, in the long run, it is inevitable to suffer in this, take advantage of the peace now, sharpen your temperament, maybe it will be beneficial." Liu Yi looked at Wei Yandao.
Anti-bone or something, Liu Yi doesn't believe it, but Wei Yan does things, the purpose is too strong, some unscrupulous, although Liu Yi is not a Confucian, but in terms of life, Confucianism puts aside those coats that serve the imperial power, but it is very reasonable, Liu Yi will not feel that it is all right, but it can't be completely denied by Confucianism, it can be inherited for more than 2,000 years, and it has almost become something in the bones of the Chinese in later generations, and it is not all without merit.
"Sir, you say that......" Wei Yan frowned, "Can you be more specific?" Could it be because of my surprise attack on Lingling? ”
"The soldiers are right, and the surprise attack on Lingling can only show that you have courage." Liu Yi shook his head: "Earlier, when you wanted to defect to the emperor's uncle in Xiangyang, although everyone had their own ambitions, as a general of Xiangyang, at that time, you not only rebelled against Xiangyang, but also fought with the defenders of Xiangyang, and others would say that you had a backbone." ”
That's what Zhuge Liang said.
"But......" Wei Yan wanted to defend himself.
"You just want to join the emperor's uncle, and you will come to defect, and no one will stop you at that time." Liu Yi patted Wei Yan's shoulder and said, "Now you are like a sword, sharp, you can kill the enemy, but you are also easy to hurt yourself!" Don't let people think that you are too sharp, otherwise, you will inevitably isolate yourself from everyone in the end, and learn how to get along with people who are not as good as you, otherwise, you may be fine when you gain power, but once something happens, the wall will fall and everyone will push it. ”
Wei Yan looked at Liu Yi and frowned: "What Mr. said, Yan wrote it down, but I don't know why Mr. suddenly wanted to say this to me?" ”
"I will understand when I should understand, after this battle, I am afraid that there will be a lot less opportunities for you and me to work together, say this, remind you of it, and when you are not satisfied, read more books." Liu Yi didn't say more, people's personalities are difficult to change, although Wei Yan respects himself a lot, but half of it is due to his performance over time, and the other half is also because he sometimes follows his temper and can be a man, but after all, after knowing each other, Liu Yi doesn't want Wei Yan's final fate to be the same as in history or romance, it shouldn't be his end.
"Thank you, sir, for your teaching." Wei Yan nodded silently, bowed and retreated, as for whether he listened to it or not, it was not something that Liu Yi could manage.
