Chapter 910: Concubine
Tonight's conversation made Liu Lan personally feel the power of the Chen family's father and son, and they were able to analyze and summarize the results of those things hidden in the fog through just a few clues.
It's just that in Liu Lan's heart, although the Chen family has made it clear that they will support him, in other words, the Chen family has promised to step on his chariot, but is the Chen family trustworthy? For the interests of the family, the Chen family is much more important than the Mi family, otherwise the Chen family in the previous life would not have turned Lu Bu around.
In this way, Liu Lan has to face one thing, that is, if one day the Chen family encounters the vital interests of the family, will he become 'Lu Bu'.
Although Liu Lan knew that the Chen family father and son were rare talents, but based on this alone, he did not dare to trust the Chen family father and son in his heart, if the Chen family father and son were a chess piece, then this chess piece was naturally different from other chess pieces, not only could not be abandoned at will, but also tried his best to win them over.
Even if Liu Lan knew in his heart that the Chen family's father and son would only be loyal to the family and not to himself, he could only turn a blind eye and listen to it now, because he needed the help of the Chen family now.
On the other hand, looking at the Mi family, Liu Lan was a lot more relieved, Liu Lan, who knew the history, knew in his heart that the marriage between the Mi family and Liu Bei in history was when Liu Bei lost Xuzhou and had nowhere to return; The Mi family came to send charcoal in the snow, and finally married Mi Zhen to Liu Bei.
No matter at any time, there are many icing on the cake, and there are few people who send charcoal in the snow, with this, Liu Lan is naturally relieved of the Mi family.
But at this time, Liu Lan had a few doubts in his heart, because his marriage with the Mi family was two or three years earlier than the marriage between Liu Bei and the Mi family in history......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Early the next morning, Liu Lan set off to return to Xiaopei, and within a few days, he had a marriage ceremony with the Mi family. Mi Zhen finally came to Xiaopei and became Liu Lan's concubine.
Although Liu Lan is called Mrs. in order to take care of the face of the Mi family, in the end, Mi Zhen's identity is only a concubine, since she is a concubine, she will naturally not be as beautiful as marrying Zhen Jiang. It's just a banquet in the house, and when you enter the house, it's also the side door.
The hustle and bustle of the day has just passed, and the banquet is naturally even more crazy, but in the face of frequent toasts from everyone, Liu Lan did not take it seriously, he didn't want to get drunk like mud, anyway, Mi Zhen is also a woman with a 'bleak background'.
In his heart. is not only the woman who bravely jumped into the dry well in the memory of her previous life, but also became a victim of all forces in Xuzhou to seek their own interests at this time, so Liu Lan must keep herself sober to see her, instead of being drunk......
He hadn't seen Mi Zhen, even if Mi Zhen was in distress, Xiao Pei hadn't seen her, and for this beautiful woman he had never met, Liu Lan, who was the groom's official at this time, didn't know what kind of mood to see her......
In addition to wanting sympathy and comfort, it is more because of the embarrassment of having a relationship with a strange woman. Maybe this was something that ancient people were accustomed to, but Liu Lan at this time became a big problem. After all, under the premise of having no emotion as a foundation, the two became husband and wife, and they had to do that kind of thing, which made Liu Lan hesitate......
At this moment, Liu Lan was wandering in front of the wedding room, and he had been standing outside this room full of happy words for more than half an hour, from starry to starry. Dressed in a black wedding dress, he never took the last step.
The contradiction in Liu Lan's heart must be very ridiculous in the eyes of outsiders, after all, this is a happy event, what man in the world doesn't want to be a groom every day when he is energetic enough, and he enters the cave room every day? There are mothers-in-law all over the country!
But at this time, he felt that it was much more difficult to enter the marriage room than to die in righteousness, and he really didn't know how to face Mi Zhen. The feeling of taking advantage of the danger in his heart made him turn around and leave to escape the reality at the same time as he was conflicted.
However, just when he was going to Zhen Jiang's place or the barracks for a night at night, he didn't want the door to be opened, only to hear a moving voice like Huang Ying singing: "Master, where are you going?" ”
"No, no."
Liu Lan turned around in shock, only to see that under the light of the door, a petite and delicate little maid was staring at herself with big eyes, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Don't go anywhere, it's so late, where else can I go?" ”
looked up at the night sky, and said secretly: "Such a dark night moon, this girl actually recognizes herself at a glance?" ”
The willows on the moon, but this month covered his face with shame, and there was no half moonlight in the dimness, only the dim candlelight in front of the house was reflected. The maid didn't see the change in Liu Lan's expression in a wedding robe, but answered: "Then come in quickly, the young lady is dying." At the end, the little girl said that she giggled and laughed.
For this little girl who came with Mi Zhen, Liu Lan just smiled noncommittally, and was about to make a move at his feet, but he hesitated, but there was a little girl watching beside him, and finally took the most difficult step and went to righteousness generously......
The little girl and the old mother waited until Liu Lan entered the house before giving the room to the two newcomers, Mi Zhen sat on the edge of the couch, the head was hidden in the bead crown, and the whole body was a red wedding robe, just this glance made Liu Lan smack his tongue, because the jewelry on the little girl in front of him must not be described as jewelry.
Liu Lan asked himself that there are not many rich ladies he has seen, but no one he has seen is comparable to Mi Zhen, which is not to say that the face under the pearl crown is much more beautiful than them, but that he can dress up; Gouache is properly used to dress up her own woman, and Mi Zhen is definitely the first person.
Liu Lan immediately thought of a sentence: 'The rich second generation is rich', but he shook his head, because he discovered a major folk custom here after coming to Xuzhou and Xiaopei, that is, women love decoration.
Poor as Ganqian, can't afford to wear pearls and jade, but also to arrange flowers, rich as Mi Zhen is naturally hung with a dazzling array of jewelry and jade, which makes Liu Lan can't help but sigh, Xuzhou women not only like ornaments, but also are good at ornaments.
He sat down in front of the low machine, picked up the teapot and poured himself tea, wanting to extinguish the last trace of hesitation and uneasiness in his heart. It's just that when he sat down, he unconsciously looked at the beauty under the bead curtain, and Liu Lan, who was already burning with some desire, didn't want to pity it, but it began to flood again.
Although she is the daughter of the wealthy family in Xuzhou, she has suffered such humiliation and misfortune, after all, this is a nightmare that a woman will not be castrated for the rest of her life, but this is it, a woman with such a miserable experience. Even if she is committed to marrying for the interests of the family, whether she is willing to do so, or forced by her brother, how much pain does Mi Zhen need to endure in less than a month? ”
Liu Lan sighed in his heart, and drank the tea in the cup, the tea was sweet and delicious, but when he drank it in his mouth, it seemed to have been replaced with bitter water in his belly. It was as if he was not drinking some kind of tea, but a cup of strong bitter coffee, or a cup of spicy spirits......
Putting the tea cup back in place, Liu Lan, who was frowning, stood up in a slight trance, and walked towards the edge of the bed with difficulty with his legs like lead, he wanted to lift the bead curtain of Mi Zhen to see her true face of Lushan, but every time his steps took a small step forward. He would find that Mi Zhen's body would tremble a little, as he got closer and closer to Mi Zhen. He unexpectedly found that Mi Zhen was trembling violently.
Suddenly, I saw Mi Zhen roaring, and then opened the bead curtain, and his eyes as moving as autumn water had already shed strings of beaded tears, like a frightened little rabbit, that is, he looked at Liu Lan who was walking towards him in fear and helplessness, and shouted hoarsely: "Don't come here." Don't come here. ”
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll retreat, I'll retreat."
Mi Zhen's shout really shouted out Liu Lan's seven spirits and retreated. How dare you continue to walk forward, stretching out her hand and shaking while retreating: "I have no malice, aren't we married?" I just wanted to help you take off the crown. ”
Looking at her frightened expression full of vigilance and worry, Liu Lan naturally knew that Mi Zhen, who had suffered such a fate, was naturally extremely sensitive to the entry of any man, perhaps in her eyes, except for his two elder brothers, there was no reliable man in this world, a man who could let him put aside his guard and allow him to get closer.
Thinking of this, Liu Lan felt even more pity for her, and said in a relentless voice: "Do you know, since I entered this room, I have made up my mind not to mention that incident to you, I know that it is your lingering nightmare, but seeing you like this now, my heart is really painful, I don't know how to make you happy and make you forget that terrible thing, because that incident hit you really too much." Liu Lan's eyes were full of tenderness, and he said: "I never swear, because I do what I say, but today for you, I am willing to swear for you." ”
Liu Lanping stretched out his five fingers to heaven and said: "I swear, I will always accompany you to the end of your life, in this journey, I will do my best to make you forget all the unhappy things, and I will take care of you with my heart, if you are unhappy, I will try my best to make you smile, and I will never let you shed a tear." ”
Looking at Mi Zhen's eyes, Liu Lan was full of solemnity, and said in a deep voice: "Believe me, I will definitely do it." ”
It is said that women are made of water, not only women on the wedding night, but also girls who have not married a family will inevitably be moved when they hear Liu Lan's love words, but Mi Zhen shows a coldness and ruthlessness that is different from other women.
I saw that his delicate body was slightly stunned at the moment Liu Lan's words fell, and tears couldn't stop flowing, but all this was extremely short-lived, and soon he heard Mi Zhen's choked voice with a hint of coldness: "I don't need you to sympathize with me." ”
"I don't have ......"
Liu Lan wanted to defend, but what made him even more shocked in his heart was Mi Zhen's performance, because Liu Lan was confident that the previous love words were absolutely invincible, but he was surprised to find that these words did not have the expected effect when used on Mi Zhen's body, but he also saw a trace of resentment in her autumn eyes.
Liu Lan didn't have time to defend himself clearly, because as soon as his words came out, he was overwhelmed by Mi Zhen who raised his voice, and only heard her say coldly: "I know you dislike me, if this marriage is really difficult for you, then please write a letter of resignation, and I will go back by myself tomorrow, and I will never pester you." ”
"Why do you say that?"
Liu Lan felt incredulous that Mi Zhen had this idea: "If I dislike you, how can I agree to this marriage?" ”
He sighed heavily and said, "I only think that a lady like you, marrying me as a concubine is wronging you, how can I dislike you?" (To be continued.) )
