"If only you knew!"

With Mi Zhen's resentful sigh, Lu Ren raised his hand, gently hooked his index finger to Mi Zhen's pointed chin, and said with a bit of a rogue joke: "Little lady, come and give Ye a smile." ”

"you!"

Mi Zhen punched her backhand with a punch, anyway, in an informal occasion, Mi Zhen would never be polite to Lu Ren: "Tell you serious, don't be out of shape here, okay?" ”

Lu Ren flashed Mi Zhen's pink fist, shook his head and smiled: "Okay, okay, no kidding." But seriously, it wasn't a day or two that I beat you, and now that you're finally in my hands, I'm supposed to get what I wanted, but the reason why I got you is a bit ......."

Mi Zhen glared at Lu Ren again, but did not speak.

To say that Lu Ren is not interested in Mi Zhen or has no sexual interest is definitely a lie. But men generally have cheapness, just as they generally have a desire to conquer when it comes to women, or they can be conquered by women. But if you have to accept a woman for one reason or another, then psychologically you will have an aversion.

Lu Ren and Mi Zhen are now encountering such a problem. Among the current 15,000 or 6,000 people in Yizhou, the Lu and Mi clans are the dominant families, Lu Ren and Mi Zhen are the patriarchs of these two families, and Mi Zhen is under Lu Ren's orders.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with this, but you must know that Lu Ren was a senior member of the DPRK and Central Committee and had enough influence in many aspects. At that time, Mi Zhen was attached to Lu Ren's wing in nature, and Mi Zhen's Mi Zhen clan naturally had an attitude of obeying Lu Ren's orders.

But later, Lu Ren fled from Cao Ying, and of course his official position disappeared. Without political status, and Mi Zhen is basically in a state of identity level, at least Mi Zhen is no longer dependent on Lu Ren and is no longer dependent on the relationship, so it is inevitable that some people in the Mi Zhen clan will give birth to "Why should our Mi clan listen to your Lu Ren's orders." What kind of person are you, Lu Ren?" To put it simply, after Lu Ren threw away his original official position, he couldn't control the clansmen on Mi Zhen's side.

There has never been a shortage of careerists in the world, and of course there are big and small ambitions. Among Mi Zhen's Mi clan, there are a few people who are a little ambitious and want to take Mi Zhen's place. He ascended to the throne and became the patriarch of the Yizhou Mi clan. Lu Ren was still calm when he had an official position, but after he had no official position and no identity, these guys were ready to move.

So far, there have been several times when Lu Ren or Mi Zhen have given orders, and these guys have refused to carry it out. And the reason why they moved out is very simple, that is, "Lu Ren is not a child of the Mi family, why should he command me" and "Mi Zhen is just a woman, how can there be a reason for a woman to take the position of the head of the family".

Of course, Lu Ren has left Gao Shun in Yizhou. There is a certain amount of armed forces at hand, and it is no problem to suppress these guys by force. But both Lu Ren and Mi Zhen know very well that the current Yizhou town is just getting a little better, and if there is an internal fight at this time, even if the scale is small, their Yizhou town will not be able to afford to hurt.

And at this time, what Lu Ren needs is an identity, a reasonable excuse. A completely plausible truth. As long as there is these supports, those people in Yizhou Mi will not be able to make any waves. The inclusion of Mi Zhen in the harem is actually meeting these conditions.

Let's put it this way, if Mi Zhen marries Lu Ren, then the people of the Yizhou Mi clan will be Mi Zhen's dowry, and it will naturally become Lu Ren's legitimate industry, and those guys who are doing small actions will lose the excuse to make small moves. Even if they insist on making small moves. There is absolutely no support from others...... Don't think this is nonsense, and don't underestimate the patriarchal concept in the hearts of people in that era. In the Chinese social system for thousands of years, family law is often more binding than national law.

So therefore, this incident between Lu Ren and Mi Zhen is a bit imminent. It's just that Lu Ren has a cheap product that men often have, and he has to marry this kind of woman due to external factors. After all, I still have a little disgust in my heart.

Fortunately, this kind of antipathy is not very strong, and Lu Ren's slight self-persuasion is almost enough. But there is one thing, this matter has to be nodded by Mi Zhu, after all, only Mi Zhu nodded, this matter can be called justified. The last time Liu Bei visited, Lu Ren asked Liu Bei to call Mi Zhu for a visit, for this is the case.

But seeing that Mi Zhen finished listening to Lu Ren's words, her eyebrows also wrinkled tightly: "Actually, there are still many people in the clan who support you and me, and they are always asking me when I will marry you." If there is no marriage between you and me on this day, they will not be at peace for a day. If something really happens, everyone will be upset. ”

Lu Ren shook his head and said, "Yes, you have to marry now, and I have to marry too." If their hearts are troubled, sooner or later some trouble will arise. So would you like to marry me? ”

Mi Zhen turned her head in annoyance, and snorted: "People are already yours, what do you want?" You said earlier that you invited Uncle Liu Huang to talk to the eldest brother, is this true or false? ”

Lu Ren said dumbly: "What do you mean that your people have long been mine?" Come on, I've never touched you, okay? But seriously, if nothing else, your big brother will come to me in a few days. One is to discuss the marriage between us, and the other is ...... We are secretly trying to fund Uncle Liu. ”

The latter sentence made Mi Zhen stunned again: "What? Do you want to secretly fund Uncle Liu? You're not afraid of getting into trouble, aren't you? As far as I know, these people here in Jingzhou, led by Cai Mao, are hostile to Uncle Liu Huang. ”

Lu Ren smiled: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." Besides, it's impossible for your fleet to really transport these 30,000 pieces of grain back to Yizhou, right? The total carrying capacity of your fleet is only 30,000 hundreds, and I can't let you really run for nothing. ”

Mi Zhen came to her senses at that time, and her fingers poked Lu Ren again and again: "Say it quickly, what are you going to do?" ”

Lu Ren said: "First of all, you have to quarrel with your eldest brother, the more earth-shattering the quarrel, the more everyone knows about it, that's the best." ”

Mi Zhen said dumbly: "What do you mean?" ”

Lu Renqu flicked Mi Zhen's forehead: "You are such a smart girl, why can't you even figure out this truth?" I have to give a portion of the food to your big brother with 'no, got, no'. Remember that it is for your eldest brother, not for Uncle Liu Huang. ”

Mi Zhen was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, she understood, and in anger, she twisted Lu Ren's arm fiercely and said: "I have been making trouble for a long time to let me and my eldest brother be bad guys, but you guys are pretending to be pitiful and good people in the middle?" ”

Lu Ren spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders again: "No way, I can only do this, otherwise I won't be able to mix in Jingzhou." ”

Mi Zhen shook her head and said: "It seems that you also want to be the wall grass that blows on both sides, no one wants to offend, right?" ”

Lu Ren smiled and nodded. This matter Lu Ren actually arranged in this way, first find Mi Zhu to discuss the marriage, then the problem at the end of Yizhou can be basically solved, this is the first;

Mi Zhu and Mi Zhen quarreled under the pretext of marriage, and the excuse was that Mi Zhen and Lu Ren had some "private life" meaning, and then Lu Ren could give 10,000 pieces of grain to Mi Zhu "very reluctantly" under a reasonable excuse with a posture of being angry at both ends of the middle. And with such an excuse, Cai Mao can't say anything, after all, this is someone's housework, and Lu Ren is "very reluctant" gesture. Moreover, the quantity is not very large, and Cai Mao is not willing to lose Lu Ren, a trading partner, because of this bit of food, this is the second;

The last one, Mi Zhu's current situation with Liu Bei is also very embarrassing, to put it mildly, he is basically having an idle meal at Liu Bei's. You must know that in the original history, Mi Zhu has been "treating the guests as a courtesy, and has not tasted domination" all his life. However, the reward is incomparable", in other words, Liu Bei was completely like this to Mi Zhu for the sake of Mi Zhen's original sacrifice of family wealth, and there was also a little reason why Mi Zhu was Liu Bei's brother-in-law.

But now that Mi Zhu's family wealth has been given up, but the baby girl is here in Lu Ren, no one can say for sure whether it will be affected by this. For Lu Ren, Mi Zhu is the most useful person Lu Ren put in Liu Bei, and there are too many things that Mi Zhu needs to communicate with as an intermediary. Although Lu Ren's relationship with Liu Bei and Liu Bei's subordinates is not bad, there is no doubt that only Mi Zhu is the most suitable person for those bad things here in Lu Ren. Therefore, Lu Ren had to take some measures to help Mi Zhu up at Liu Bei's.

“…… Xiaozhen, you and your eldest brother didn't really quarrel. After handing over 10,000 pieces of grain to your eldest brother, your fleet will be free for one-third of the carrying capacity this time, and I will be cheeky to discuss with Cai Mao and them, can't we buy some things that we actually need? Then, after your fleet sets off this time, you will have to pass through Haichang County, where there is a famine, where you throw another 10,000 tons of grain to Lu Boyan for disaster relief. And Haichang also produces some of the things we need, and you can do it yourself when the time comes. But let me remind you, don't move the last 10,000 Hu, otherwise we won't be able to hide the fact that there is no shortage of food in Yizhou. ”

Mi Zhen was stunned again, and glared at Lu Ren up and down for a long time before saying: "This is fortunate that we are not short of food in Yizhou, otherwise I would really have a big quarrel with you!" Lose two-thirds of your capital in two clicks! ”

Lu Ren laughed and said: "If I don't do these things, how can I go to Jiangdong to open up relations later, so that my Lu clan can gain a foothold in Jiangdong again?" I've thought about it, it's not enough to use me alone to attract the attention of the Jiangdong Sun clan, who is the most threatening to Yizhou, I have to have a home and a clan in the Central Plains, so that the Sun clan can think that my roots are in the Central Plains, not overseas. I still don't believe it, he Sun Quan really dares to move in the people, and the people praise me!? (To be continued.) )
