Chapter 130: Madame has the final say

What Lu Bu said to keep Cai Yong was relatively straightforward, but it made people feel very comfortable listening to it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For example, Lu Bu said that Cai Yong is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, which is a very high praise. As a famous scholar in the world, Cai Yong is most afraid that others will say that he is a sycophant, and in order to become an official, he deliberately caters to and curries favor with Dong Zhuo. In fact, Cai Yong was forced to be an official by Dong Zhuo, and if Cai Yong was not right, he would be in big trouble.

As an absolute clear stream among scholars, Cai Yong is of course willing to be said by Lu Bu to be indifferent to fame and fortune. This is more useful than giving him 10,000 taels of gold.

LΓΌ Bu's current prestige has grown as he has repeatedly defeated the Xianbei people with fewer victories, and even outside the state, some people have begun to spread the name of LΓΌ Bu, the general of Tiance. Those who can be praised by Lu Bu will naturally rise in fame.

If someone else promised Cai Yong that he would take his family out of the extremely dangerous Luoyang, Cai Yong would definitely be suspicious, but Lu Bu's promise, Cai Yong believed.

Cai Yong thought for a while and said to Lu Bu: "Thank you for the general's concern, Yong's family, please." ”

Lu Zhi was also very happy to see that Lu Bu had successfully retained Cai Yong, and echoed and said: "Recently, Tiance Mansion has just had a little leisure, in my opinion, the general might as well include the Dong daughter in the room earlier, taking advantage of this autumn grain harvest, the Xihe army and people also just celebrate!" ”

Lu Bu bowed his head and agreed to Lu Zhi's suggestion.

In the past six months, the Tiance army has either fought in the east and west, or cultivated in the tuntian, and has not had a good rest. Lu Bu returned to Lishi this time, and the Tiance Army is estimated to have no more big battles to fight within half a year, just before the autumn sowing, to treat the troops well. Using Concubine Lu Bu as the reason to hold a whole military and civilian celebration can not only demonstrate the generosity and proximity of the lord, but also enhance the political influence of Concubine Lu Buna.

The custom of taking concubines began in the Shang Dynasty, and the main sources of concubines were buying, selling, elopement, and robbery.

In a slave society, concubines could be bought and sold at will. Because concubines were bought and sold legally, there were many public auction markets for women, and the sellers often wrapped their heads in green scarves and valued them by rank. It is said that the curse of "cuckolding" originated from this.

In this era, regardless of whether a man has a wife or not, a woman who "runs" elopely cannot obtain the status of a wife, and can only be a concubine. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, from the princes and ministers to the powerful in the countryside, there have been countless cases of snatching folk girls as concubines. "Wife Cao" forcibly accepted Zhang Ji's wife Zou as a concubine, which is a robbery as a concubine.

In addition to the above, there are also concubines who become concubines due to marriage. A woman who marries and accompanies a dowry, like a dowry, is also a kind of goods.

Lu Buna Dong Pu, in a strict sense, still belongs to the first type, that is, buying and selling as concubines. It's just that this transaction between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo does not see any exchange of money and goods, but an exchange of political interests.

Lu Bu is the buyer, and what he paid was not to participate in the camp of the Kwantung Anti-Dong Alliance, and to withdraw from the Hedong battlefield to Bingzhou, so as not to pose a threat to Dong Zhuo's back road. Dong Zhuo is the seller, what he paid was Dong Pu, a concubine of the Dong family, and manipulated the imperial court to canonize Lu Bu as the general of Tiance, so that Lu Bu had greater independent power.

To put it more bluntly, Dong Pu was even just a "head" to cover up the real transaction content in the transaction between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.

If Lu Bu was just to deal with Dong Zhuo, in fact, when Cai Yong arrived in Yong'an with Dong Pu, he could let Dong Pu sleep, because the transaction between the two parties had been reached, and the ownership of Dong Pu's "goods" had already belonged to Lu Bu, and how to dispose of the goods was completely up to Lu Bu.

However, Lu Bu has been reluctant to do so. He is not a feminist, but he has his own value judgments in his heart, and he has never been able to accept that people are treated as goods or animals. Even if he has no emotional foundation with Dong Pu, he still hopes that through his easy hints or contributions, he can make poor Dong Pu have a little status and dignity.

This may be the reason why Lu Bu, a soul traveler, has a ridiculous bit of modern equality thinking in his head. However, doesn't this kind of Lu Bu have some "human flavor"? If he is still the person who is heavy on wealth and lustful, and forgets his righteousness, what virtue does he have, how can he let Lu Zhi, Chen Gong, Wei Qi, Cai Yong, Gai Xun and others defect or even be loyal?

After Lu Bu ate with everyone in the front hall, he returned to the back house, Dong Pu had already left, and Yan and Lu Wen were cleaning up the bed.

Lu Bu said to Yan: "Madam, everything in the mansion is a start-up, if there is any lack of household items, even if you tell me, you can also tell Chen Wei and Li Hei and a few of them, and I will let people buy them back as soon as possible." ”

Lu Wen immediately asked Lu Bu: "Daddy, what if there are no items in my room?" ”

Lu Bu stretched out his hand and gently scratched Lu Wen's nose, and said lovingly: "If you lack anyone, you can't lack my good girl!" Whatever you want, just talk to Daddy. However, don't ask too much, for example, if you want a bed made of gold, Daddy won't have that much gold for you to toss! ”

Lu Wen pouted and said, "My daughter won't be so ignorant!" I just want your father to teach me to learn literature and martial arts every day in the future, and when I grow up, I will be the first female general of the Han Dynasty, ride through the desert, beat those hated Hu people to the ground, cry dad and call mother! ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he laughed.

Yan educated Lu Wen with a calm face and said: "What kind of general should my daughter's family be!" Also, in the future, we are not allowed to say such crude words as fart and urine. You have to remember that you are the eldest daughter of the dignified general, and your words and deeds must be in line with etiquette! ”

Lu Wen was pouted by her mother's chatter, she made a grimace at Lu Bu, and then walked out with her hands behind her back. "Daddy, mother, you guys rest early, I'll go back to sleep!"

Yan sighed and looked at Lu Bu helplessly. "Alas, before my daughter saw you, she was quite obedient, but she was a little more tempered. Now that I see you, I'm getting wilder and wilder! Why are you a father in such a hurry? If a daughter develops a boyish habit, how will she marry in the future? ”

Lu Bu gently took Yan's hands, smiled and said, "Children have their own children's blessings, you don't need to worry so much." Tuan'er is now in the stage of growth and development, and letting her grow up happily and freely is more effective than educating her a lot of various truths. Madame, don't worry, I will definitely educate my daughter to adulthood. ”

"Anyway, as far as your reasoning is concerned, I can't say anything about you. Just now, Dong Pu came in to salute me and Tuan'er, when are you going to include her in the room? ”

"I was trying to discuss this with my wife. Lu Changshi suggested taking advantage of the recent leisure to do this in the next few days, I don't know what Mrs. thinks? ”

"Then let's prepare, at least arrange a separate courtyard for Dong Pu, and arrange two slaves and maids, so that others don't say I'm a jealous person."

"Okay, what does Madam say, let's do it!"
