Chapter 692: Concubines

Night.

Grand Sima Mansion.

The lights of the sleeping houses scattered everywhere, and darkness shrouded the huge mansion, except for the sporadic fires of the night patrol, only the candles were still lit in the lobby.

In the hall, Yan Wei, who was taking a nap, woke up and yawned lightly, and the warm ginseng soup on the table was cold for a long time.

"Uncle Zhong, what time is it?"

Yan Wei rubbed the back of her hand lightly and asked the old steward who was waiting outside the hall.

The old housekeeper saw Yan Wei wake up, stood outside the threshold of the mansion and bowed slightly, and replied respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, it's already over the night, it's ugly." ”

When it is ugly, it is one o'clock in the morning in the Hereafter.

It's so late, huh?

Yan Wei frowned slightly, muttered in a low voice, and then asked the steward, "Is the master back?" ”

The steward shook his head slightly, seeing that Yan Wei's body was a little trembling, he couldn't help but say with concern: "Madam, the temperature has dropped sharply in the past few days, don't get frostbitten, or go back to your room to rest first?" When the old man returned, the old servant called someone to inform the lady. ”

In the eyes of the servants, this lady of their family, who is from a beautiful background, is dignified and virtuous, not to mention the dignified and virtuous lady, and is also considerate to these lowly subordinates. There is no one in the house who does not love this lady.

"That's not necessary, the old steward, you can go down and rest first, the hour is not early."

Yan Wei had a trace of disappointment on her face, and waved her hand slightly, it may be that her husband was newly crowned a general, and she talked so freely with the adults in the Situ Mansion that she forgot the time to go home.

"Otherwise, the old servant sent someone to Situ Mansion to urge?"

The old steward asked tentatively, he really couldn't bear Yan Wei to sit here and get cold.

Yan Wei said softly, 'No', after so many years of sharing the same bed, she had already figured out Lu Bu's temperament.

Her husband, whether he is running errands or going to appointments, dislikes being urged by others the most.

Besides, every time the husband goes out to a banquet, no matter how drunk he is, even if he is carried by Chen Wei, he always has to come back to the house.

No exceptions.

Because my husband said,

This is his home.

Reaching out and touching the porcelain bowl containing the ginseng soup, it was cold between the touches.

Yan Wei got up from her seat, picked up the ginseng soup, and walked to the kitchen.

Every time the husband comes back drunk, he has to drink a bowl of sobering ginseng soup to calm his nerves and fall asleep.

Over the years, the habit of thunder has been formed.

The ginseng soup was hot, Yan Wei waited for a long time, but she still didn't see her husband returning.

She walked to the door of the mansion, and the moonlight was bright at night.

Looking at the direction of the mansion gate, Yan Wei was very sure in her heart, she told herself that she would come back.

…………

Oh oh oh ~ ~~

The sky dawned, and the crowing of a rooster pierced the quiet streets.

The people who got up early started a busy day, and a few little guys in Da Sima's Mansion also got up from bed early.

The little ones are full of energy, and they are not the masters who like to sleep lazy.

The eldest son recited ancient texts in the study, and the younger son Zama practiced boxing, and soon his head was covered with sweat.

The little bell came out of the room after she had finished grooming herself.

When passing by the lobby, the bouncing little bell looked at the sleeping mother who was leaning on the table, she went over and gently pushed the mother's arm, and wondered, "Mother, why are you sleeping here?" ”

Hearing her daughter's call, Yan Wei woke up from her sleep, and the dazzling light made her unable to open her eyes.

Is it dawn?

Yan Wei propped herself up and looked at the platform on the left, the red candle erected on the platform had long been burned out.

Yan Wei's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, like a seriously ill patient.

"Mother, your face is so scary! Are you sick? Seeing that the mother did not answer, the voice of the little bell was full of anxiety. She reached out and touched her mother's forehead as she did when the doctor asked for a consultation, and she was a little hot, so she became more and more worried.

Her daughter is so considerate and caring, Yan Wei feels a lot better. She held her daughter's little hand in the palm of her hand, showed a tired smile, and comforted her daughter: "Little bell, my mother is fine, but I'm a little tired." ”

"Then go and have a good rest, don't work too hard."

The little bell helped the mother up, and called the maids who served on weekdays, and asked them to help the mother back to the room to rest.

"Little bell, your daddy ......"

Yan Wei paused in her tone and asked, "Is he back?" ”

Little Bell shook his head, in the past, when his father was in the house, when he got up in the morning, he was teaching his younger brother to practice martial arts. When she passed by there today, her brother was the only one who was practicing hard there.

"What's wrong, mother?" The little bell didn't understand a little, why did the mother think of asking this.

"Nothing."

Yan Wei replied very plainly, but her face couldn't hide the loss.

After noon, Lu Bu returned to the mansion.

Knowing that Lu Bu had returned home, Yan Wei, who had had lunch, walked slowly and gave a blessing: "Hello to your husband as a concubine." ”

Lu Bu said 'um', helped his wife up, saw that she was pale, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Madam, you don't seem to look very good, do you want me to send someone to ask the doctor to take a look?" ”

"Husband, don't worry, it may be that the concubine suffered a little wind last night and didn't sleep well."

Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, he had galloped for most of the night last night, and he slept soundly.

"Madam, you should take more care of your body in the future."

Lu Bra took his wife's hand and patted the back of her hand gently, and spoke softly.

Coming to the lobby, Lu Bu hesitated for a long time in his position, but decided to be honest with his wife: "Wei Niang, there is something I want to discuss with you." ”

Yan Wei poured tea for Lu Bu and showed a shallow smile: "Husband, please speak." ”

Looking at his wife's considerate and handsome appearance, Lu Bu opened his mouth and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

After waiting for a long time, and not seeing Lu Bu speak, Yan Wei couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Husband, why didn't you say it?" ”

Lu Bu took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, some things were not a way to escape, after all, he had to face them personally.

"I think, the daughter of King Situ, Diao Chan is a concubine."

The voice is not loud, and even a little lacking in confidence.

Yan Wei, who was full of expectations, never expected that what she heard would be such words.

The smile on his face froze in this instant,

The heart was as if it had been stabbed severely, and it was dripping with blood.

And this person holding the knife is her most beloved man.

This indescribable pain almost broke her heart.

But she could not show it, because the virtues of the feudal woman told her that a qualified wife could not be jealous.

So, she showed an extremely reluctant smile, as if everything was light: "So that's the case, has the husband chosen a good day?" ”

"Wei Niang, aren't you angry?" Lu Bu was very surprised.

"The husband and the concubine, this is a good thing in the house, and the concubine is too late to be happy, so how can she be angry." Yan Wei forced a smile, obviously feeling uncomfortable to death, but she was deceiving herself.

Lu Bu's guilt was swept away, and he hugged Yan Wei and laughed: "Wei Niang, I know that you are the most tolerant and caring woman in the world!" ”

He was laughing, but she was crying.

Since getting married, it has gone through eleven years of time.

After so many years, Lu Bu has never had the idea of taking a concubine, and it can be called an outlier for the era when big families have three wives and four concubines everywhere.

Generals like Cao Xing and Hou Cheng, who followed Lu Bu, don't know how many concubines they have accepted.

Only Lu Bu has always guarded his wife.

Perhaps after being reborn, he learned to cherish it, and he also understood that he owed his wife too much in his previous life and wanted to make up for his regrets.

Later, I don't know when, there were rumors outside, saying that Lu Bu was afraid of his wife like a tiger and did not dare to take a concubine, and some people said that Yan Wei was jealous and would demagogue.

In short, most of them are the words of jealousy of the woman.

Yan Wei had also mentioned the matter of taking concubines before, but Lu Bu said very firmly that he would be a couple with her for the rest of his life, and he would not be afraid of rumors outside.

At that time, Yan Wei also shed tears happily.

Who would have thought,

Now, it's all a phantom in the water.

A few days later, Lu Bu took a concubine in the mansion, and almost all the officials in Beijing arrived to congratulate Lu Bu.

The only surprise was that when the table was about to start, Little Bell took her stupid brother and overturned more than a dozen tables of guests in protest.
