Chapter [144] Another Marriage Visit
Returning to the room again, the banquet was still removed early.
Lu Bu took his seat, and Mi Zhu had to stand. He didn't have the guts to sit down.
Including Zhen Yan, if Lu didn't let him sit down and talk, Zhen Yan would never have the guts to sit down by himself.
"What do you want from me?" Lu Bu didn't want to waste time, so he asked directly.
"I heard that the silk in Hebei is all arranged by the Zhen family, and then sent to the general. The Mi family is quite powerful in the Central Plains. I wonder if the general will allow the Mi family to act like this?"
The Mi family is indeed a very powerful family of merchants in Xuzhou and even the Central Plains.
At the banquet, after seeing Zhen Yan being invited away, Mi Zhu asked the merchants around him a lot.
Some well-informed merchants informed Mi Zhu of the cooperation between the Zhen family and Lu Bu, and it was no secret anyway.
As the general agent of Lu Bu in Hebei, the Zhen family is almost well-known in the business circle.
It's just that there has been a war in the Central Plains before, so Mi Zhu's news is somewhat blocked.
After hearing this, Lu Bu understood Mi Zhu's intention to come, and he wanted to be the general agent in the Central Plains.
"The Mi family came forward to collect all the silk produced in the Central Plains and finally send it to Guanzhong. This will save the general a lot of trouble, and it is a matter of mutual benefit." Mi Zhu continued.
This is true, it is impossible for Lu Bu to send people to buy silk from door to door in the Central Plains.
For example, for silk in central Shu, Lu Bu only needs to connect with Liu Zhang, and for silk in Hebei, only 210 needs to connect with Zhen Yan, which is very convenient.
The Central Plains has a vast land and abundant resources, so it is true that a general agent is needed, which will be much more convenient.
Lu Bu nodded and said: "It is indeed a matter of mutual benefit, but the merchants in the Central Plains are not only the Mi family, why should I choose the Mo family?"
"Don't worry, the general, the price given by the Mi family will definitely satisfy the general." Mi Zhu was very confident, and said: "Although there are other merchants in the Central Plains, they are not as powerful as the Mi family.
The Mi family can make the general earn more money. "
"Well, according to what you said, the Mi family does have very good advantages." Lu Bu changed the topic: "Unfortunately, I still can't choose the Mi family as a partner."
"Why?" Mi Zhu couldn't understand at all, "This will benefit the general and not harm him at all."
"Because the Mi family and Liu Bei are in-laws, and Liu Bei is a traitor from the imperial court. I didn't send anyone to take you into prison, so you can have fun secretly. How dare you speak boldly in front of me?" Lu Bu broke out in a cold voice. Said: "Are you asked to cooperate with the imperial court to earn money, and then support Liu Bei's rebellion? Huh?!"
Lu Bu has killed countless people, and the murderous aura on his body is as real as it is, and he still has 90 points of power. Once he bursts out with all his strength, ordinary people can't bear it at all.
Mi Zhu's face was pale, and he knelt down immediately, "The general is clear! The villain has nothing to do with that Liu Bei!"
"How dare you! Who lied to me?" Lu Bu questioned, "Didn't your sister marry Liu Bei?"
"Absolutely (aedg) there is no such thing!" Mi Zhu shook his head frantically, "Please ask the general to let the villain explain a thing or two."
explain. "1
"General, when Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, the villain really wanted to marry his younger sister to Liu Bei."
"But after the imperial court issued an edict, the villain knew that Liu Bei was pretending to be a member of the Han family, and was listed as a traitor by the court." Mi Zhu said eagerly: "God, sorry, how can I have the heart to marry my sister to a traitor? This matter Let it be over."
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, he didn't expect that his actions would mess up Liu Bei's marriage, it was really a bit surprising.
In fact, it is human nature for the Mi family to dissolve this marriage.
It doesn't matter if Liu Bei is poorer or downcast. After all, the Mi family is a family of merchants. Mi Zhu's Xuzhou Biejia is also an official position bought with money. As long as Liu Bei bears the name of the Han clan, he is worthy of the Mi family. To cling and invest.
It doesn't matter if you are poor, the Mi family will give money and food to others, so that Liu Bei, who is poor and white, can become a prince, and then feed back to the country.
But Lu Bu’s edict removed the name of Liu Bei’s clan in the Han family. Liu Bei, who was already poor and white, now has no name and is also called a traitor. The Mi family will only marry when their brains are flooded younger sister.
Once married, the Mi family will be a rebel relative, and the house will be ransacked.
Liu Bei was poor and white, so he could pat his ass and go to Huainan, but Mi's family had a big business, and their industries were all in Xuzhou. If he could run away, the monk could not escape to the temple.
So when the edict was announced to the world, Mi Zhu immediately regretted the marriage when he learned that Liu Bei was nothing.
"I see. It seems that I misunderstood." Lu Bu nodded and said.
"Where, Xuzhou and Guanzhong are thousands of miles away. When the news reaches the ears of the general, it is inevitable that there will be some fallacies. It is no fault of the general." Mi Zhu hurriedly found a step for Lu Bu.
"That's very good." Lu Bu nodded with a smile and said, "Since it has nothing to do with Liu Bei's rebellion, then I will consider asking the Mi family to collect the Central Plains silk. I will give you a reply after I have considered it."
The Mi family was taken aback when they heard the words. He thought that if he explained Liu Bei's matter clearly, he would be able to wait for Lu Bu's approval and obtain the qualification to cooperate. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu said that he would think about it.
"Okay, the villain is waiting for the good news from the general." Mi Zhu replied with a forced smile.
Lu Bu got up from his seat and went out, Mi Zhu was naturally not suitable to stay, so he could only leave with the string cloth body shop.
When they came to the front yard, the soldiers brought Chituma to him, and when Lu Bu was about to get on the horse, Lu Bu casually said: "By the way, Zhen Yan's younger sister is going to marry into my house in a few days. I'm free, welcome to drink wedding wine."
After speaking, Lu Bu got on his horse and left without looking back.
"Be sure to come and join us." Mi Zhu bowed and bid farewell to Lu Bu.
It wasn't until Lu Bu's back disappeared from sight that Mi Zhu stood up straight.
Mi Zhu turned around and planned to return to the main hall, and continue to communicate with other merchants to expand the family's business.
But after walking a few steps, Mi Zhu paused, "That's not right!"
Mi Zhu suddenly realized that when Lu Bu left for the last time, the seemingly casual sentence was not a casual politeness, but had a lot of meaning.
"The Zhen family is in charge of silk purchases in Hebei, and married the daughter of the family to the general as a concubine..."
"If the Mi family wants to take over the silk agent in the Central Plains...I understand!"
Mi Zhu finally realized that he was not told to have a wedding at all just now, but to remind him to marry his sister.
As long as my younger sister gets married, everything will be fine, just like the Zhen family.
Lu Bu is a person of status anyway, so naturally he couldn't speak too bluntly, as if he was robbing a civilian girl, and lost his status for nothing.
Remind vaguely, and then ask Mi Zhu to come to the door by himself, and take the initiative to marry his younger sister to Lu Bu.
As soon as Lu Bu returned home, Mi Zhen's birthday horoscope was delivered to Lu Bu before his butt was warmed up.
"Ma'am, please make arrangements. Two maids will come to visit in a few days." Lu Bu said to Yan Shi who was making dinner.
Concubine, as long as you report to Yan Shi, Yan Shi will not have any opinions.
After all, as the mistress of the Lu family, the virtuous Yan also hopes that the family will be full of children and the Lu family will be prosperous.
Obviously, this kind of thing can't be done by Yan alone, so he can only find helpers.
"Got it, come and eat." Yan agreed without raising his head.
Regarding the matter of Lu Bu taking concubines, the three women in the family all agreed with it, and they couldn't stand it even if they played songs every night.
The whole family sat at the table, and Lu Bu was so huge that he occupied one side of the table by himself.
Lu Lingqi and Lu Shao sat together, Yan Shi sat across from Lu Bu, and Diao Chan and Cai Yan huddled together.
"Well... two more tables will not be able to sit down, and I will ask the carpenter to make a big table later." Yan said thoughtfully.
"Madam is still considerate." Lu Bu immediately changed the topic, "By the way, let the carpenter also make a big bed."
Upon hearing this, Yan couldn't help but glared at Lu Bu, indicating that the child was still there.
Lu Bu had a thick skin and didn't care at all. Anyway, the two children are young, so they must not understand.
Sure enough, Lu Lingqi and Lu Shao were grabbing something to eat, and didn't care about the adults' conversation at all.
"Why is Madam staring at you?" Lu Bu teased, "My husband means that I have grown taller, and the original bed doesn't fit well. Could it be that Madam is thinking wrong?"
Yan Shi couldn't help showing embarrassment when she heard the words, and Lu Lingqi who was on the side interjected: "Where is it crooked?"
"Crack!" Yan's face changed at the speed of light, and he tapped Lu Lingqi with chopsticks, "Let's eat your meal."
Lu Lingqi pursed her mouth, unhappy, but she didn't dare to fight against Yan.
Lu Bu watched happily, and then got kicked on the leg. Although it didn't hurt or itch, Lu Bu still pretended to show his teeth, making all the girls laugh. .
