"Oh, Miss really has a heart, I'm afraid that I won't look good in a wedding dress if I get fat."

"What, I don't know when."

"Miss is looking forward to it day and night, isn't it just waiting for my uncle to come back? The old man said that he would just wait for his aunt to come back and pick an auspicious day for the zodiac to marry the young lady. ”

Zhen Mi's blushing face was slightly happy, since she heard the news that Liu Zexi went to Chang'an, she couldn't sleep well, especially after the news that Liu Ze was wanted by the court, Zhen Mi was even more worried day and night, for fear that something would happen to Liu Ze. She looked west almost every day, praying that God would bless her fiancé for his safe return.

As for this family business, Zhen Yi is also very satisfied, not to mention the identity of Liu Ze's Han clan and the county guard, but it is the four dowry gifts sent by Liu Ze that make him happy, a half-human tall coral tree, a night pearl the size of a goose egg, ten sets of blue and white porcelain, and a pair of ice imperial green jade Ruyi, although the Zhen family is rich and rich, but Liu Ze's dowry is expensive and still makes Zhen Yi speechless. It's not that the Zhen family hasn't seen the world, but the more expensive the dowry, the more noble the identity of the Zhen family's daughter, and the emperor's dowry is only 20,000 catties of gold and 20,000 yuan. Although Cai Yi's other four daughters are also married to wealthy families, their dowries are much shabby compared to Liu Ze's. Zhen Yi is already thinking about the dowry for his daughter, the Zhen family is known as the richest man in Hebei, and this dowry is naturally not low.

"Miss Newspaper, Mrs. Liu sent Mr. Jian from the mansion to visit, and he is talking to the master in the middle hall at the moment." A calling girl reported to Zhen Mi outside the curtain.

Qing'er said happily: "It seems that it is not only the young lady who is anxious, but the uncle is more anxious than the young lady." I just returned home yesterday and sent someone here today, presumably to talk about an auspicious day, congratulations to Miss Congratulations is about to leave the cabinet. ”

Zhen Mi didn't reprimand Qing'er this time, her face turned even more embarrassed, pressed her chest that was pounding like a deer, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect him to be so impatient......"

"Would you like to hear it?" Qing'er blinked and encouraged.

Zhen Mi hesitated for a moment and said, "Master said, 'Don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people', it's not good for us to go to the middle hall so rashly, right?" ”

"Miss, who told you to go to the middle hall. Let's just hide behind the screen and eavesdrop. ”

Zhen Mi couldn't stand Qing'er's instigation. Quietly came to the central hall and hid behind the screen.

But the table that listened to it rang violently, and Zhen Yi said angrily: "What? Liu Ze actually divorced? How can this be reasonable, my daughter is like a person of character. That one is not worthy of him? ”

Jian Yong bowed. said: "Master Zhen is angry. Ling Qianjin is both good looking, virtuous and virtuous, and is the head of my family. It is difficult to match with Ling Qianjin, the previous marriage proposal was too abrupt, my lord thought about it again and again, in order not to delay Ling Qianjin's life, he decided to send him to come and withdraw from his relatives, and asked Master Zhen to do a lot of Haihan. ”

Zhen Yi's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "He, Liu Ze, is also a county guard, and he can go back on his word, such a despicable character, the old man is also ashamed of his marriage!" ”

Jian Yong said: "This matter is indeed the fault of my father-in-law, before leaving, my father-in-law said that the Zhen family does not have to return the dowry before, and has the right to make amends, and we should also bear the loss of reputation caused to the Zhen family." ”

Zhen Yi was already furious at this time: "How can this be true, he Liu Ze thinks that it is great to have a few stinky money, and our Zhen family is not rare for his broken money!" Go back and sue your master, just like him, our Zhen family is not ashamed to marry a woman to him, how many princes and grandsons have broken through the threshold to marry my daughter, and their status is thousands of times stronger than your master, even if this kind of treacherous and despicable person kneels in front of my door, he doesn't want me to marry my daughter to him! ”

Jian Yong was embarrassed, it was the first time in his life to be scolded by someone pointing his nose like this. "That being the case, retire below."

Zhen Yi flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Don't send it!" ”

Jian Yong withdrew from Zhen's mansion, wiped his forehead, it was full of beads of sweat, and he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly. When the entourage saw it, they were surprised and said, "Why is Mr. Jian sweating profusely?" Jian Yong sighed and said, "The lord's errand is really not something that people can do. Let's go. ”

"Miss...... Miss ......" Qing'er hugged the crumbling Zhen Mi and shouted eagerly.

Zhen Mi's face was as white as paper, her face was pale, her eyes were confused, and she muttered to herself: "Why did he want to withdraw from the marriage?" Why did he get out of the marriage? ”

Zhen Yi also heard the movement behind the screen, strode over, supported his daughter, and sighed: "Mi'er, I guess you also heard it, Liu Ze is ruthless and insistent on getting out of the marriage, why do you have to remember this kind of wolf-hearted thing, for your father will promise you a better family." ”

Zhen Yi's wife Li also rushed over when she heard the news, hugged Zhen Mi tightly in her arms, and said silently: "My hard-working Mi'er." ”

Zhen Yi was upset by their crying, and shouted: "Such a heartless person, why do you cry and cry, there are thousands of men in this world who are better than him, no matter what, I have to find Mi'er a family with a higher status than him!" ”

Zhen Mi turned a deaf ear to her father's words, her eyes were blank, and she just muttered, "Why did he withdraw from the marriage?" Why did he get out of the marriage? ”

The steward Zhen Fu said on the side: "Master, Mrs. Liu...... When Liu Ze returned to the plains, he was not the only one, but also brought back Cai Yong and the two young ladies of the Cai family. ”

Zhen Yi frowned and said, "Cai Yong? I heard that his eldest daughter married to the Hedong Wei family, and her husband was widowed, could it be that Liu Ze took a fancy to his second daughter? ”

Zhen Fudao: "That's not it, I heard that Liu Ze and the eldest lady of the Cai family have long had an old relationship, according to the villain's speculation, Liu Ze went to Chang'an this time, called the rescuer, but he was actually his old lover who saved him." ”

"What? He actually tore up the marriage contract with my Zhen family for the sake of a widow? Zhen Yi was a little incredulous, and said angrily: "This kind of incorruptible and shameless person, even if he doesn't come to get out of the marriage, the old man will never marry his daughter to him!" ”

"No, daddy, since the daughter has promised to marry the Liu family, then she is born as a member of the Liu family, and death is a ghost of the Liu family, even if he marries her as another wife, the daughter is willing to be a side room." Zhen Mi gradually regained his senses, understood the reason, and said to Zhen Yi with a sad face.

"What?" Zhen Yi's face flushed, "Do you want my daughter to be a concubine for someone else?" This is impossible! Mi'er, there are many good men in the world, why do you remember this ruthless and fortunate person? ”

In the Han Dynasty, there was a world of difference between being a wife and a concubine, and the wife entered the clan tablet, and the children born to them were descendants, and the sons could be knighted. After the death of the concubine, it is not included in the clan tablet, and the children born are "concubines" and cannot be attacked. The property given to the Yue family when marrying a wife is called a "dowry", and the property given when taking a concubine is called "buying a concubine". In the status of the husband's family, the concubine cannot be compared with the wife.

It is impossible for a Hebei family like the Zhen family to give their daughter to others as a concubine no matter what, because what is lost is the face of the entire Zhen family.

Zhen Mi bit her lip lightly and said in a trembling voice: "My daughter has made up her mind, if the Liu family does not marry, even if it is for Ji as a concubine, she has no regrets, please ask her father to fulfill it." ”

"Mi'er, do you know what it means to be a concubine for someone else? has no identity, no status, and has to be bullied by your wife, the son you give birth to cannot inherit the title, and even you cannot be included in the clan tablet after your death! Zhen Yi said to Zhen Mi earnestly.

There were crystal tears in the corners of Zhen Mi's eyes, but her gaze was unusually firm. "Daddy, my daughter doesn't care about anything, whether it's a wife or a concubine, as long as I can stay with him, my daughter will die without regrets!"

"No way!" Zhen Yi roared: "I want my daughter to be a concubine for others, if this matter spreads, where is the face of my Zhen family?" My Zhen family has been a prominent family for generations, how can I become the laughing stock of the world because of this matter, and it is absolutely impossible to be a concubine! ”

Zhen Mi suddenly knelt in front of Zhen Yi and cried: "Daddy, Mi'er hasn't begged you for anything since I was a child, and Mi'er is willing to ask you to answer today." ”

"Impossible, this matter is related to the reputation of the Zhen family, and my father will never agree." Zhen Yi resolutely refused.

Zhen Mi took out a dagger from her sleeve and pressed it against her chest.

Zhen Yi's face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed, "Mi'er, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhen Mi resolutely said: "If Daddy refuses to agree, I will die here today, just like if you never gave birth to my daughter!" ”

Zhen Yi hesitated for a moment, her daughter's attitude was resolute, if she was not allowed today, I am afraid that this matter would be difficult to be good, but as the patriarch of the Zhen family, the reputation of the Zhen family will never be insulted.

Li also knelt down and hugged Zhen Mi and said, "Daughter, don't do stupid things!" He turned around and begged Zhen Yi and said, "Master, you will fulfill Mi'er's wish!" ”

To tell the truth, Zhen Yi regards this youngest daughter as a pearl in the palm of his hand, and cherishes it very much, Zhen Mi's willful temper is really what he is used to, and the matter has come to this, Zhen Yi can't help but sigh, and slams his fist on the red sandalwood case.

"Bad fate!"

Last night's banquet was very grand, and the officials of Pingyuan Mansion gathered together to wash the dust for Liu Ze, Cai Yong and others.

This is the first time Xu Shu has participated in the banquet of Liu's Mansion, and Liu Ze praised Xu Shu's trick of concealing the sky and crossing the sea in front of everyone, making it wonderful, and everyone toasted Xu Shu in unison, which made Xu Shu quite flattered. Liu Ze announced Xu Shu as an assistant to the army and served as Jia Xu's deputy to assist in the affairs of the army.

Jia Xu is the first strategist in Liu Ze's army, Xu Shu sat in the position of the second strategist when he first arrived, which is more or less surprising, and it can be seen from the other side that Liu Ze appreciates and values Xu Shu. (To be continued......)
