Chapter 398: Anger and Disappointment

Tian Fan and Bai Yuzhu did not hold a real wedding. Sima Hui's wedding is simple, but the old man has a good face and just talks about it. Bai Yuzhu stood aside and watched, Tian Fan kowtowed to him a few times, and toasted a bowl of wine, which was regarded as making up for the worship of the woman's parents, and the wedding was over.

Although the wedding was simple, the dowry given by Sima Hui was not a lot at all, and it could even be said that it was too much! is more than when Mi Zhen married into the Tian family.

After Sima Hui returned to Jingzhou, he quickly arranged it and was about to rush back to Xuzhou, but he received the news that Bai Yuzhu was pregnant from the Tian family. When the old man heard this, he said, let's hurry up and prepare the dowry! So, he spent more than two months preparing Bai Yuzhu's dowry. The Sima family is not rich, and many of these dowries are sponsored by Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong, and Sima Hui is at ease with it.

The dowry had already entered the Tian family's manor, but the day before the wedding, it was pulled into Xiapi City. On the day of the wedding, dozens of carts pulled countless dowries and rushed to the Tianjia manor outside the city. Such a big battle attracted many people to follow behind to watch the excitement. After learning that this was Bai Yuzhu's dowry, the people watching the excitement couldn't help but be amazed.

This matter has become an after-dinner conversation among the people of Xiapi for a while. Bai Yuzhu's beauty is famous in Xuzhou, and before entering the Tian family, it has become the object of many literati because of its beauty and superb musical literacy. Later, because of her appearance in the drama "White Snake", there were many teenagers and girls who were obsessed with her to death. And Bai Yuzhu himself is also evil, he originally had no father and no mother, but he became the daughter of the famous man Sima Hui without paying attention, and this identity can ascend to the sky, even if he marries a prince as a wife, it is also possible. Even if you have been married eighteen times, you have to be a wife! But look at it now, marry Tian Fan as a concubine?

So, people called Tian Fanna an envy, not only got a beauty, got countless property, but also improved his reputation, this luck, hey! However, they can only envy, who let them not have Tian Fan's luck and ability? In addition to envy, most people sent their best wishes to the couple in their hearts. After all, Tian Fan is in Xuzhou, and he is a good person who is a household name!

Tian Fan didn't think about that, he was shocked by what Sima Hui gave him, because it was not just property.

Looking at the contents of a large box, and then looking at the same nine boxes, he was a little dumbfounded!

Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, and Pang Degong, all smiling and slightly ostentatious, explained the wonderful use of that thing to Tian Fan in detail, Tian Fan pondered for a long time and asked, can it be imitated?

When the three old men heard this, they immediately shook their heads, and Sima Hui said, "This is not good!" First, the object is too sensitive, and second, the technology required is too high! It took a lot of effort for Cheng Yan to come up with ten sets, so don't bother with it! ”

Tian Fan thought about it, so he had to give up.

In the afternoon of the same day, Tian Fan called a few skilled craftsmen in his carpentry workshop, carefully instructed and drew pictures to illustrate, and after a long time, he let them leave. Two months later, ten carts were produced in the Tianjia woodware workshop, and after driving out of the workshop, they went directly into the Tianjia manor. Since then, every time the owner of the Tian family goes out, he takes this kind of car.

On December 12, Zhang Fei's wedding, Tian Fan took Mi Zhen to attend.

Tian Fan stood aside and watched the ceremony, and couldn't help but think a lot.

The first acquaintance with Zhang Fei was in Tao Qian's house, Zhang Fei was a reckless man at that time, and his roar was like thunder, which was Tian Fan's first feeling about him.

The first acquaintance with Gan Youniang was in the peach orchard on Geyi Mountain. At that time, she gave Tian Fan the feeling that she was a gentle little girl, and at the same time, the noble temperament she exuded was impressive.

After that, Tian Fan and Zhang Fei intersected more and more, and finally became friends. And Gan Youniang and Mi Zhen and other women also intersected more and more, and finally became best friends.

Later, when Tian Fan heard Liu Bei say that Zhang Fei liked Gan Youniang, Tian Fan had three points of surprise, three points of expectation, and four points of blessing in his heart. I was surprised, because these two people really don't match! Zhang Fei is tall and strong, with dark skin, Gan Youniang is petite and cute, and her skin is the fairest of the women Tian Fan has seen.

said that the expectation is because of the kind of temperament exuded by Gan Youniang, the kind of gentleness and calmness like water, which is about a good complement to Zhang Fei's reckless temper, perhaps, through the subtle influence of Gan Youniang, Zhang Fei can change his reckless temperament and achieve something that he did not have in history.

Zhang Fei is a very good person, a very gentleman, and a buddy, but his temperament is too reckless. Liu Bei and Tian Fan can restrain him, but Zhang Fei's achievements are far from being satisfied by the position of a deputy general, when Liu Bei's strength expands, one day Zhang Fei must take on a heavy responsibility, at that time, Liu Bei and Tian Fan cannot follow him. If he is still so reckless, perhaps, there will be another story of Fan Zombie. Obviously, Tian Fan didn't want this.

Blessings, then naturally there is no need to say more, one is his friend, the other is his wife's best friend, they can be happy, obviously Tian Fan and Mi Zhen's common wish.

However, Tian Fan looked at the couple of newcomers who gave gifts to Liu Bei and Gan Lin, and an evil imagination was sprouting in his heart. Couldn't help but have a strange smile on his face.

When Mi Zhen saw it, she was immediately very curious, pulling Tian Fan's sleeve, she asked in a low voice: "Husband, what do you want?" ”

Tian Fan couldn't help laughing, and whispered in Mi Zhen's ear: "Hey, hey, I'm thinking, what kind of scenery will it be on the couch with such a black mallet as Yide, and a delicate and beautiful lady like the young lady who can get out of the water with a pinch!" ”

Mi Zhen's face was suddenly red, and a Qianqian hand habitually shone Tian Fan's waist and eyes! Tian Fan suddenly snorted, and the strange smile on his face disappeared.

And Mi Zhen, looking at the couple with a red face, looking left and right, after a while, her face became even redder, and after a long time, her face became more and more weird, and finally she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After Zhang Fei's wedding was completed, Liu Bei took his big vacation, anyway, there was nothing to do before the year, so it was good for him to have a good honeymoon. But Tian Fan had to be busy for a while.

Two days later, Tian Fan handed Liu Bei the list of meritorious officials in this campaign, as well as the reward suggestions. Liu Bei once said through his mouth that this time it would be a large-scale reward and promotion, and he had destroyed Yuan Shu, a traitor, so he could promote some people exceptionally, and Liu Bei planned to give some people a marquis.

Fenghou, this is the goal of many people's life, no matter what the candidate is, it is good to be a marquis anyway.

After thinking for a long time, Tian Fan handed over the names of several chief officers of the craftsman camp, hoping to fulfill his original promise to Ma Jun, Pu Yuan, Fei Wo, Xie Qi and others.

The next day, Liu Bei asked the junior colonel to find Tian Fan.

Tian Fan was curious, what was going on?

Entering the General's Mansion, at the door of the huge hall of the General's Mansion, Tian Fan took off his shoes and handed the sword to the little colonel who was waiting on the side, and then entered the hall.

In the past, people didn't pay so much attention to entering the hall, and it was common for military generals to enter with swords and shoes, but now it is not possible. Liu Bei's engagement Liu Yan suggested to him that there should be some rules in the General's Mansion. Thus, this provision appeared.

Liu Yanzi Weishuo, is Liu Bei's fellow sect, and just followed Liu Bei last year. This person is a famous person, good at debate, and very generous to others, and was engaged in by Liu Bei. However, he has always been just a guest and is not qualified to participate in any of the daily affairs of Liu Bei Group. To put it bluntly, he and Xu Ci are the same people, and they both play with Liu Bei. But this person is really good, and Tian Fan has a good impression of him.

As soon as he entered the hall, Tian Fan saw Liu Bei and Chen Qun laughing, and hearty laughter came out from time to time. It seems that they talked very happily, and Liu Bei was in a good mood.

Seeing Tian Fan coming in, Liu Bei hurriedly beckoned and said with a smile: "Boguang, hehe, come on, sit!" ”

Tian Fan saluted Liu Bei, and after nodding to Chen Qun, he sat down on Liu Bei's right.

Liu Bei looked at Tian Fan with a smile, as if he was a little embarrassed, and after a while, he picked up a bamboo slip and said thoughtfully: "Boguang, I have read the list of merit you handed over, and there is basically no objection." It's just that Ma Jun and Pu Yuan are marquis, isn't it a bit child's play? Changwen and I both think something is wrong! ”

Tian Fan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Chen Qun.

Chen Qun smiled and said, "Hehe, Boguang, this matter is a little inappropriate!" Ma Jun, Pu Yuan and others, hehe, are craftsmen, and they are in charge of cheap business, how can they be marquis? ”

Tian Fan didn't expect this matter to get stuck, and besides, he never thought that Ma Jun and the others were doing cheap business, so he didn't expect Liu Bei and Chen Qun to object.

couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but on his face, he didn't show it.

He hugged his fist at Liu Bei, glanced at Chen Qun again, and said, "The merits of the lord, Changwen, Ma Jun and others are very great!" Ma Jun and Zhao Shan built a waterwheel, which has greatly alleviated the drought this year, and we don't have to be so afraid of drought in the future! Ma Jun and Liu Zheng made three kinds of repeating crossbows, and the effect on the battlefield was also known to the lord that the results of Zhou Ting, the crossbow general, were not a joke. With the various weapons created by Pu Yuan and Zhao Sheng, how many more enemies can they kill on the battlefield? The various armors created by Pu Yuan and Zhang Xiang have a very good effect, how many of our soldiers can die on the battlefield?

"By the way, there is also Fei Wo, who presides over the tuntian and pays over a lot of grain every year, which provides sufficient logistical support for our war. Xie Qi researched and planted several new crops, and the lord also knew about it, especially alfalfa and cotton, how much potential did these two things have? Wouldn't the lord be unclear? Although their merits are not on the battlefield, it is precisely with them as the foundation that the lord and our generals can win countless battles! Lord, such a great achievement, can't you seal a mere marquis? ”

Chen Qun scoffed and said, "Hmph, it's just some pariahs, everything they do is what they should do." Even if they have a great merit, wouldn't it be better to give them more money? If the reward is excessive, what will the lord's ministers think? What will those generals who do not have a marquis think? ”

Tian Fan looked at Chen Qun's face and said calmly: "They don't have so much merit, why should they be crowned marquis?" ”

Chen Qun glanced at Tian Fan and said, "Don't have that much credit? Hehe, Boguang, in your opinion, many generals and those of us have not made as much credit as those untouchables? ”

Tian Fan shook his head and said, "Changwen, I didn't mean that!" But I know that if it weren't for the 'untouchables' you call you, you wouldn't be where you are today! There would not be such a luxurious life as today! ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "As for what you said that the ministers will be unhappy because of Ma Jun and others, hehe, lord, I don't think so!" I remember that when Gaozu pacified the world, he rewarded the heroes for the marquis, he heard that some people were dissatisfied and complained every day, so he asked Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang gave him the idea of giving Yongya a marquis first. Yongya is a person that Gao Zu hates, he can be a marquis, and those ministers can naturally be marquis! So, the ministers settled down.

"Lord, we are doing something that no one else has done, and we are in Fuhan, so naturally we have to do something that no one has done before. What will others think of these people who others think are untouchables? Others will think that these untouchables with great merit have been crowned marquis, so doesn't that mean that as long as I have made some achievements, I can also be crowned marquis? My lord, when that time comes, we will be united, what will we not be able to do? ”

Liu Bei listened, nodded slowly, and seemed to be moved.

Chen Qun hurriedly said: "Lord, no! Although they have a lot of credit, they don't conform to the laws of their ancestors! Gaozu once said that if you are not surnamed Liu, you cannot be crowned a king, and if you are not a warlord, you cannot be crowned a marquis! Although later, many relatives were able to be crowned, but it was only relatives. If you don't make war achievements, how can you be a marquis? ”

Tian Fan couldn't help but be a little depressed, is it so difficult to wait for a seal? How do I remember that during the Three Kingdoms period, it was a person who waited? Non-war exploits can not be crowned? Then why can you Chen Qun be made a marquis?

He didn't know that during the Three Kingdoms period, because of frequent wars, military exploits were naturally easy to stand, and there were many marquis. And those literati are often also participants in the war, regardless of whether they are ideological, or they are heavy-handed, even if they don't understand anything, they can follow the tour and enjoy the scenery, and they can also get a piece of the pie, so there are many feudal marquis.

Liu Bei listened to Chen Qun's words, and could only look at Tian Fan apologetically, and said thoughtfully: "Boguang, what the long article said is reasonable!" Otherwise, Fei Wo and Xie Qi, one is a general among the peasants, and the other is a method of studying grain production, which is very helpful to the war, and can barely be said to have military merits, I will hand over the names of the two of them, what do you think? ”

Tian Fan was anxious, he said: "Lord, I don't want my title, can I exchange my title for theirs?" I don't need them to have a chance, I just need to have a 'waiting' edge! ”

Chen Qun snorted coldly and said, "Boguang, please respect yourself!" Can the title of the imperial court be transferred casually? If you talk nonsense again, you will be punished for a great crime of disrespect! ”

Liu Bei also shook his head and said, "Yes, Boguang, I see ...... Would you like to give those people more money? ”

Tian Fan really couldn't say anything, because he only knew a little about the matter of the marquis. He only knew that if according to Liu Bei's statement, in fact, Pu Yuan and others should be said to have military merits, they are the ones who produce weapons! At the same time, he was very disappointed in Liu Bei! Very angry at Chen Qun! Many of their practices are not in line with the so-called "ancestral law", the title is in the mouth of the two of you, and it is directly determined, and there is no need for the approval of the imperial court at all, is this in line with the "ancestral law"? But why did I come here, I just want to seal a few people as waits, don't ask the county to wait for the township, and don't ask for the liehous, just a small Guan Neihou who has no real name, no fiefdom, and doesn't even need to send it, is it so difficult?

Tian Fan shook his head, clenched his fists and said, "Lord, Fan...... Speechless! ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "My lord, there are still many things in the barracks and the craftsman camp, so I will leave first!" ”

After that, without waiting for Liu Bei to agree, he gave another salute, suppressed the anger and inaction in his heart, and strode out of the hall.

Liu Bei looked at Tian Fan's lonely figure and couldn't help but feel a little unbearable. But...... Tian Fan's limelight is too big, he needs to be pressed! Liu Bei also knew in his heart that the so-called "ancestral law" was, who still thinks about that now? Seal a few waits, just think of a little reason? However, if a few craftsmen who followed Tian Fan could be crowned, wouldn't his influence be even greater?

He is a very smart person, and he naturally knows the dirty relationship between Chen Qun and Tian Fan, but he is happy to see it! Tian Fan has a good relationship with the generals, and his White Tiger General is the first among the generals, and he can command all the generals, which is a threat to himself. If his relationship with Wenchen is too good, it will be really a big trouble!

Liu Bei had no dissatisfaction with Tian Fan, and he didn't think that Tian Fan would betray him, but it was always necessary to take precautions and for him to become more and more mature in the emperor's mental skills. Among the Wenchen, he has already supported a Chen Qun as the opposite of Tian Fan, and among the generals, he is also preparing for this!

The emperor is always lonely, once, he got along so well with Tian Fan, there was no barrier, but now, he will think from time to time, if Tian Fan betrays him, what should he do?

Turning his head to look at Chen Qun, he saw him with a smug smile, Liu Bei couldn't help but despise him in his heart, at this level, are you proud? Liu Bei knew a lot of things Chen Qun had done, and knew that he was very arrogant now, and he couldn't say that he was selling his official beard, but it was not much different. However, Liu Bei didn't want to punish him, because, in his opinion, those were trivial matters and could not harm himself. He needs Chen Qun to exist as Tian Fan's opposite, and to make Tian Fan uncomfortable all the time.

Chen Qun didn't know Liu Bei's thoughts at all, he thought that today's incident was a victory in the battle between him and Tian Fan, and if he won it, he would be happy!
