424 Saying one thing and doing another is the essence of human beings

After the letter was sent, Liu Bei was not idle, and began to plan how to arrange things in Yizhou and Liangzhou if he wanted to go to Luoyang.

Anyway, there are many capable people in his subordinates, and there are many trustworthy people, and as long as he is alive, he is not worried that these people will betray him.

After being busy with the army and the affairs of the humanities and religion in Yizhou for a while, Liu Bei rushed back to Liangzhou in a hurry.

Because before he went to Yizhou this time, Gong Qin and Gong Ling were pregnant one after another, and not long after he went to Yizhou, Liangzhou sent someone to send news that Han Ning was also pregnant.

Good guys, either you don't come, or you come all of them?

The matter of having children is uncontrollable, and it is difficult to force it when there is not, and if you have it, you can't stop it.

Liu Bei was very happy, handed over the matter to Zhao and Yan Wen, and ran back to see his wife, but when he went back, he saw that the three were pregnant, and Han Xiaodie was left standing pitifully and looking at Liu Bei aggrievedly, which made Liu Bei feel very guilty.

So in the next few days, Liu Bei focused on taking care of Han Xiaodie, which can be regarded as a bowl of water, not doing favoritism, and spending more time with Han Ning and the two Gong sisters during the day.

After a few days, he realized that the balance between the backyard and the front court of a powerful man is the same thing that requires a high level of operation, and ordinary men must not be involved in this field, otherwise the cool is temporary, and the pain and impact caused by the collapse of the situation are permanent.

Unless the energy is far beyond ordinary people, you still have to make a trade-off between the front court and the backyard, and force the project that your energy can't take care of, and there will be no good end.

In the next period of time, Liu Bei did not return to Yizhou for the time being, on the one hand, he wanted to accompany the women in the family more, and on the other hand, the arrangement of concubines was also put on the agenda, and he was going to start taking concubines.

The so-called near the water is the first to get the moon, Yan and Gai because they are in Liangzhou, act quickly, so they quickly sent the outstanding concubines selected by the family to Ji County to settle down, after some preparations, Liu Bei married the Gai daughter and the Yan daughter with a more solemn etiquette.

Although it is a concubine room, a concubine room with the backing of the family and a concubine room without the backing of the family are two completely different things, and a concubine with a son is not the same thing as a concubine without a son.

Etiquette is etiquette, rules are rules, but people with power can always break through the dead dogma written on paper, as long as it is not preached everywhere, few people will seriously implement the so-called "etiquette".

So they are concubines in the patriarchal sense, but in fact, Liu Bei didn't plan to treat them the way he treated them.

Rules are dead, people are alive, and people in the world are still blindly entangled in the inheritance of the eldest son, and as a result, after thousands of years of imperial society, the number of eldest sons among the Chinese emperors is not so much.

Therefore, saying one thing and doing another is the essence of human beings.

It's better to say that Liu Bei has never treated the women around him in the same way as he usually treats concubines, whether it is Han Xiaodie or the Gong sisters, they all get along with Liu Bei very happily.

When getting along with them, Liu Bei doesn't mention things about government and military affairs, but talks about interesting things about life, some funny things that happen in daily life.

For example, what are the headaches of students in state schools?

For example, what reckless officials have done stupid things when they enter the official palace.

For example, what results he has achieved in governing the local government recently.

He never brings negative energy into the house, into the backyard, and when facing his women, he is always gentle and kind.

Going home is to rest, not to open up a second battlefield, just like Liu Hong, Empress Song and Empress He, in fact, it just proves that Liu Hong's level of governance is very inferior.

So over the years, the number of conflicts and anger between Liu Bei, Han Ning, and Han Xiaodie can be counted on two hands.

After joining the Gong sisters, Liu Bei allocated a little time and energy to them, but he did not snub Han Ning and Han Xiaodie, he liked the feeling of everyone talking and eating together, as long as there was a chance, then everyone would be together.

Of course, when it's time to be alone, it's still necessary to be alone, two people are easier to spark, and they are more friendly to their waists.

For the five concubines included this time, although there are various reasons in it, Liu Bei has no intention of treating them differently.

No matter what kind of special "mission" they shoulder, Liu Bei will not feel strange, everyone should get along with each other.

He gives enough sincerity, if the other party also has sincerity, then a day husband and wife for a hundred days, if the other party is not sincere, then raise the case and respect each other.

In the first wave of marriages, the Gai women and the Yan women were married first, and five days later, the Yan women were married.

Because Gai Xun was the first Liangzhou official to form a friendship with Liu Bei, he was the first to welcome Liu Bei and help Liu Bei gain a firm foothold.

And Yan Wen and Yan Zhong both entered Liu Bei's command through Gai Xun's recommendation.

Out of this consideration, in this matter, Yan Wen and Yan Zhong took the initiative to back down and handed over the first position to Gai Xun.

Gai Xun took the first place, carefully selected in the family, and married his biological brother's youngest daughter Gai Ning to Liu Bei.

On the day of the wedding, in addition to the utensils that the etiquette law clearly stipulates can only be used by the wife and not for the concubine, Gai Xun also used everything for Gai Ning to support the scene, and Liu Bei's subordinates basically knew the inside story of the marriage, so they all participated, and there should be no less celebrations.

Anyway, in addition to what everyone clearly can't do, everyone else has done it, and even some of them are not allowed to do it, and they are making excuses to find substitutes to do it.

The face of the etiquette is given, and the face of Gai Xun must also be given.

After a day of trouble, Gai Xun was very happy, Liu Bei was also very happy, everyone drank a meal happily and spent a happy day.

At night, Liu Bei entered the "cave room" and met Gai Ning for the first time.

He was very satisfied with Gai Ning's appearance and felt the respect of the Yan family for him.

And it seems that Gai Ning is not dissatisfied with his appearance.

Human beings care more about their appearance than they think, especially between men and women, and they can't escape the problem of a face.

As long as one face can look at each other, this little day will be able to go on smoothly.

"Let you be my concubine, some grievances, but in life, if you want to have no grievances at all, it is impossible, even if you are the son of heaven, you should be wronged, you must be wronged, you should be scolded, and you will be scolded.

There is not much I can do, only to treat you with sincerity, I will not treat you as a plaything without a soul, you are a complete person in my eyes, I will try my best not to let you be wronged, I hope that in the future, we can be white-headed together. ”

Liu Bei held Gai Ning's hand and showed all his gentleness and demeanor.

Gai Ning stared at Liu Bei's face for a while, smiled slightly, and nodded.

"Marrying into the Liu family, I am the wife of the Liu family, I can be such a heroic concubine as you, and I can't talk about grievances, if you treat me sincerely, I will live and die."

As she spoke, she put her other hand on Liu Bei's hand.
