Liu Ze always believes that whether it is ancient or modern, love will be eternal, the reason why people are different from birds and beasts is that people are animals with feelings, if people are only satisfied with venting their desires, then what is the difference between them and birds and beasts? Liu Ze thinks that he is not a saint, and he can't be a messy Liu Xia Hui, but the love of men and women must be based on feelings, from this point of view, it is difficult for Liu Ze to accept the kind of marriage of the appointment of the matchmaker of his parents. Sitting across from a strange woman in a cave room is a very embarrassing thing in itself.

He coughed lightly and said to Chen Deng: "Thank you very much for the kindness of Tao Yuanjun, Miss Menggan's wrong love, I am not very frightened in the next, and I have Cai's wife in the next, and I vow not to accept a concubine in this life, please ask Mr. Yuanlong to return to Tao Yuanjun, I dare not bear it." ”

Chen Deng originally thought that Liu Ze only had one wife and no concubines, and this marriage could be easily handled, but as soon as he said what he meant, Liu Ze categorically refused, and it seemed that there was no room for discussion, and he couldn't help but wonder.

Tao Qian's wife and sister are beautiful, gentle and virtuous, but they are famous in Xuzhou City, how many people want to marry as a wife have not been able to do so, in Chen Deng's view, Miss Gan is more than enough to be Liu Zelai's wife, and the status of the family is there, Danyang Wang Clan's Gan family was born, and to marry her is to become a brother-in-law with Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, the glorious lintel, and now Liu Ze is a concubine, somewhat aggrieved.

Chen Deng really couldn't think of a reason for Liu Ze's refusal. "Runde Gong rest assured, Miss Gan is both talented and beautiful, a famous concubine, no matter how she looks and comes from, she will definitely not be worthy of Runde Gong."

Liu Ze smiled bitterly. It seems that Chen Deng will be mistaken, he doesn't care about the woman's appearance and background, the only thing he cares about is whether he has feelings, he and Miss Gan have never met, so how can they talk about feelings. But this can't be said to Chen Dengming, in the Han Dynasty, what love and love belonged to taboo words, and scholars were ashamed to talk about it, so he had to say: "I have no objection to Miss Gan's appearance and appearance, but I don't have the heart to take concubines." Please Yuan Long bid farewell to Tao Envoy Jun on my behalf. ”

Chen Deng said in surprise: "My father-in-law, Cai Gong, once wrote the book "Arbitrary". In the book, it is clearly stated that Dr. Qing has one wife and two concubines, and there is a etiquette law to follow for taking concubines. Chen Deng thought about it. I can't think of a reason. It seems that Liu Ze is afraid of his wife. Mrs. Cai did not allow him to take a concubine in order to be exclusive to Chong, which is a reasonable explanation, and it seems that Liu Ze is a hero. But he is also a master who is afraid of the inside, Chen Deng is secretly funny.

Liu Ze couldn't explain anymore, and said: "Neizi is virtuous and virtuous, as for the personal matter of not wanting to take a concubine, it is inconvenient to say it directly. Mr. Yuanlong came from afar, tired of traveling and driving, and rested in the pavilion, knowing that he was in the east of the next to catch the wind and wash the dust for Yuanlong. ”

Chen Deng had to retire, but he didn't go to the pavilion and went directly to Jia Xu. has stayed in Liu Ying for a period of time, Chen Deng and Jia Xu get along well, and more importantly, Chen Deng knows very well that Jia Xu, as the chief think tank by Liu Ze's side, Liu Ze is obedient to him, and if he wants Liu Ze to agree to this marriage, Chen Deng seems to have to find another way. After all, he had promised to do this in front of Tao Qian, and Chen Deng didn't want to give up halfway because Liu Ze refused.

As soon as Jia Xu heard that this was a good thing, regardless of Miss Gan's character and appearance, just that she could form a brother-in-law with Tao Qian, it would be beneficial to Liu Ze to seek Xuzhou, Chen Deng said that Liu Ze refused without thinking about it on the spot, and Jia Xu was not surprised, he had refused once when he was in the plains.

"Don't worry, Yuanlong, I will persuade my lord." Jia Xucai Chen Dengdao.

Chen Deng arched his hand and said, "Thank you Wen and brother for your help." ”

When Jia Xu rushed to Liu Ze's mansion, Liu Ze happened to have something to go out, Jia Xu thought about it again and again, and decided to meet the housewife Cai Yan, wanting Liu Ze to accept the matter of taking a concubine, and the most critical person was Cai Yan. When Liu Ze traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an and rescued the Cai family from the prison, this move was undoubtedly the craziest, what force prompted Liu Ze to do it regardless of the great danger, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape a love word, he has a deep love for Cai Yan, so he will not hesitate to pay a price, regardless of the reputation and reputation and withdraw the marriage of the Zhen family, this time to refuse Miss Gan, I am afraid it is the same reason. If you really want to seek a breakthrough, the only one in the world who can persuade him is Cai Yan.

So Jia Xu asked to meet Cai Yan.

Cai Yan came out quickly, and saw Jia Xu in the second hall, Jia Xu bowed and said, "Jia Xu see Mrs." ”

"Mr. Wenhe is exempt, I don't know what Wenhe is doing with me?" Cai Yan is always dignified and graceful, noble and reserved in front of outsiders, making it impossible to look at him directly.

Jia Xu didn't make a detour, and said bluntly: "Xuzhou Mu Taoqian sent Chen Deng to come to kiss, and wanted to marry his wife and sister to the lord as a side room. ”

Cai Yan had no waves on his face, and said lightly: "At this time, you only need to discuss with the lord, I am a woman's family, and it is inconvenient to participate in such a major matter." ”

"The lord has clearly rejected this family business."

"The lord does this, naturally he has his reasons, and the concubine does not dare to discuss it. Now that the main princess has made up her mind, I don't know what Mr. Wenhe means by looking for a concubine? ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and said, "Madam, please listen to a certain word." Jia had no intention of offending his wife, he knew that the lord and his wife had a deep relationship, and the lord's refusal of Tao Fujun's proposal must have taken into account the feelings with his wife, and his subordinates believed that it was unwise for the lord to refuse to marry. The lord wants to Xuzhou, achieve hegemony, and marry the Tao family, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Tao family courted the lord and the lord, the purpose was to figure out the guò marriage to tie the Tao and Liu families on the same boat, and now there is only the lord who can solve the crisis in Xuzhou. Tao Qian is old and sick, and wants to entrust Xuzhou to the lord, but he is afraid that the lord will cross the river and tear down the bridge in the future, which is not good for the Tao family, so he came up with a policy of harmony. If the lord refuses to marry, it will make Tao Qian mistakenly think that the lord has no good intentions with the Tao family, not only will he not pay Xuzhou again, but he is afraid that the lord will not even be able to gain a foothold in Xiaopei. Therefore, this family matter is related to the lord's royal hegemony, if the lord only gives up this great opportunity because of his devotion to his wife, his subordinates think it is a pity. ”

Cai Yan pondered for a moment and said, "The stakes in this, can Wen He make it clear to the lord?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "The lord is resolute and decisive, and it is difficult for his subordinates to persuade him to return what he has determined." Fang today under the princes and rise, Yuan Shaohu away from Hebei, Cao Cao dominates the Central Plains, Liu Biao and Liu Yan each according to Jingyi, Xuzhou is the land of the heaven-given lord, if you miss such a good opportunity, the world is so big, I am afraid that there is no more land of the lord and the public cone. Jia Xuken asked his wife to put the overall situation first, and advised the lord to agree to this family business, and not to insist on going his own way, so as to chill the hearts of the soldiers. ”

Cai Yan bowed slightly: "Mr. Wenhe's meaning is understood, and I should try my best to persuade the lord." ”

Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Madame, for understanding the righteousness, and thank Madame on behalf of the soldiers of the whole army." ”

Cai Yan smiled slightly: "Mr. Wenhe's kind words and bitter advice, a fist to protect the heart of the lord, the lord can be supplemented by a loyal and upright person like you, fortunately." ”

Jia Xu said something humbly and bowed to retire.

Liu Ze finished handling official business and returned to the mansion after dark.

"It smells so good!" Although there were only a few simple dishes on the table, they were full of aroma, which made Liu Ze's appetite move.

"Today, the concubine went to the kitchen and made a few dishes that the husband likes to eat, prepared a little thin wine, and drank with you." Cai Yan lost her mother since she was a child, and her father wandered in Wudi, living in no fixed place, her father's diet and daily life have always been taken care of by her, and she naturally cooks good dishes, although she doesn't need to cook anymore after marrying Liu Ze, she will occasionally cook a few dishes, and Liu Ze is full of praise every time.

Liu Ze laughed and said, "It seems that today is a blessing." ”

Cai Yan took a piece of fish meat in Liu Ze's bowl and said, "That husband wants to eat more today." ”

"This nature-" Liu Ze couldn't wait to sit down, picked up the fish meat and chewed it, the meat was tender, delicious, and the aftertaste was endless. Cai Yan has lived in Wudi for a long time, Jiangdong people mainly eat fish, Cai Yan's cooking skills in making fish are natural, in Liu Ze's opinion, even a five-star chef is nothing more than that. Liu Ze couldn't help but sigh, isn't there a saying in later generations, if you want to catch a man's heart, you must first catch his stomach, Cai Yan can really be said to be in the hall and in the kitchen, and if he has a wife, what more can a husband ask for!

Cai Yan deliberately pretended to be careless, and said, "Is there anything urgent about Chen Yuanlong's visit today?" ”

"It's not a big deal," Liu Ze said while drinking, "Chen Yuanlong came as a matchmaker at the behest of Tao Yuanjun, and wanted to give me Tao Yuanjun's wife and sister as a side room, but don't worry, I will resign on the spot." ”

"Why is the husband in such a hurry to make a decision, he should think about it more." Cai Yan said lightly, his words were calm and his demeanor was calm, as if he was chatting with Liu Ze about something irrelevant to him.

Liu Ze stopped and smiled: "Yan'er, others told me that you should be jealous, and advised me to think about it, what to consider?" Are you happy that I married a bunch of concubines and came back? ”

Cai Yan said angrily: "When have I ever been jealous? In your mind, can I be a vinegar jar? ”

Liu Ze held her hand and said solemnly: "Yan'er, in my life, it is enough to have you, and there is nothing else to ask for." ”

Cai Yan's heart warmed, a flush floated on her cheeks, and in order to cover up, she hurriedly said: "Have you eaten well, if you have eaten well, I will order someone to remove the table." ”

Liu Ze still held her soft tightly, and said with a smile: "Leave it alone, let's talk about it tomorrow." Besides, I haven't eaten enough. ”

"You haven't eaten yet?" Cai Yanqi said, according to Liu Ze's usual amount of food, today is considered to be exceeded.

"The beauty is in my arms, the beauty is delicious, do you think I'm still hungry?" Liu Ze blinked and said slyly. (To be continued......)
