"Little sister, Hugh is talking nonsense!" Although Mi Zhu is very wealthy, he looks very lightly at money, and he doesn't care about the weight of the gift at all, on the contrary, he values Liu Bei's character very much, so he said with a smile, "Haven't you heard of courtesy?" Forget it, you avoid it first! ”

Mi Zhen is actually not afraid of this big brother, but the Mi family has big rules, and she can't even see Zhang Liao's face now, let alone other outsiders, so she had to "hum" lightly and turned her head and walked towards her room.

The man continued: "Back to my lord, the gift sent by Lord Liu this time is enough to fill two carts, and it seems that it is not straw sandals according to what Mr. Jian said. ”

At this time, Mi Zhen had just turned the back door, and when she heard that Liu Bei had sent straw sandals this time, she couldn't help but be curious, so she tiptoed behind the window and hid, wanting to hear what novelty Liu Bei had sent this time.

I only heard Mi Zhu's "oh", and said in surprise: "Liu Bei's garrison Xiaopei, all the expenses depend on the supply of the lord, and he is not rich, why do you want to give me such a heavy gift?" ”

This person just accepted a piece of broken silver given to him by Jian Yongsai, so he naturally wanted to help Jian Yong speak, and said with a smile: "Master, although the villain doesn't know why Lord Liu came to give gifts, there is no malice in thinking about it. ”

Mi Zhu didn't notice the expression of this doorman, was silent for a while, and said to himself: "If you are courteous, you must ask for something." But what exactly did he want? ”

The man took the opportunity to say, "Master, why do you have to meditate here, invite that Mr. Jian in and ask, don't you know." ”

Mi Zhu smiled: "That's what you said, I'm really a fan of the authorities, well, please hurry." ”

When Jian Yong walked into the living room, Mi Zhu couldn't help but be surprised, because in the past, when Jian Yong sent straw sandals, he always came alone, but this time he was followed by a red-faced man. Liu Bei didn't have many people under him, and his cronies only had Guan Yu and Jian Yong, so Mi Zhu recognized this big man at a glance as Liu Bei's brother-in-law Guan Yu.

After Liu Bei garrisoned Xiaopei, Guan Yu rarely showed up, and only appeared twice in this Xuzhou city in total. The first time was after ambushing Sun Jian, he participated in the celebration banquet held by Tao Qian for everyone. The second time was to pick up Mrs. Gan to Xiaopei in the plains, passing through Xuzhou. And this time should be regarded as Guan Yu's third time in Xuzhou, which shows how much Liu Bei attaches importance to giving Mi Zhu a gift this time, and this is what surprised Mi Zhu.

Flipping through the gift list, Mi Zhu was a little surprised, because although there are many things recorded on this gift list, they are not anything valuable, but the first one is listed in four pairs of wild geese, followed by four pairs of head jewelry.

Mi Zhu couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Jian, the items on your gift list are a little strange, it seems to be a gift for Nacai, which makes Mi a little confused. ”

Jian Yong said with a smile: "What Lord Mi said is true, these are the gifts of Nacai." Jian and General Guan came this time for the family affairs of my father-in-law, and wanted to hire Ling Mei as his wife for my father-in-law, but I don't know if Lord Mi would agree. ”

Mi Zhen was hiding behind the window and eavesdropping, and couldn't help but be surprised, her pretty face turned red when she "brushed", and secretly scolded: "The toad wants to eat swan meat!" ”

Mi Zhu admires Liu Bei's character very much, but he feels even more sorry for his little sister, if he makes a continuation for Liu Bei, it will be okay, but this Liu Bei obviously has a wife, is it difficult to ask his little sister to be a little sister for him? Therefore, when Jian Yong asked Mi Zhu about Mi Zhen, Mi Zhu vaguely coped with the past, and now when he heard Jian Yong come to ask for a kiss, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Mi thank you for your kindness, but Mi has only one sister, and she has already promised others, but Mr. Jian has run this trip in vain." ”

Jian Yong was taken aback, he actually came over to ask for a kiss without asking clearly, this time it was a big joke. Jian Yong glanced to the side and saw that Guan Yu's red face had faintly darkened, so he had to stiffen his head and say: "Jian Mou once saw Sister Ling in the house the year before last, and at that time, I heard what Lord Mi said, Sister Ling has not yet reached the end of time, why did she promise someone so quickly?" ”

At that time, it was common for girls to marry at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and some girls from poor families married at the age of eleven or twelve. But Jian Yong and Liu Bei both know very well that a big family like the Mi family will never marry a girl who is not up to the end of their family. Therefore, when Jian Yong learned that Mi Zhu's little sister had not yet reached Lu, he didn't take this matter to heart, and Liu Bei didn't ask about it again.

However, today Jian Yong and Guan Yu came to visit Mi Zhu, but Liu Bei took the initiative to bring it up.

In the past, Liu Bei didn't care much about marrying Mi Zhu, because he could see that Tao Qian was already old, and the position of state pastor would have to be given up sooner or later. And he himself is the best candidate to take over Xuzhou Mu, because only if he is Xuzhou Mu, can he better ensure the vested interests of the Tao family. But now the situation is different, Liu Xin actually sent a young doctor to diagnose and treat Tao Qian, and under the treatment of this young doctor, Tao Qian's body gradually improved day by day until he was fully cured.

At this moment, Liu Bei was a little anxious, and he even regretted that he didn't take Tao Qian's abdication at the beginning, but pretended to be clear and politely refused, and now Tao Qian's body is good, and the matter of giving way is naturally shelved and no longer mentioned. There is no regret medicine in the world, Liu Bei knew that the position of Xuzhou Mu was temporarily out of his favor, so he began to make other plans.

Liu Bei is not willing to live under the people for a long time, he wants to develop his power as soon as possible. But he is in Xiaopei, and the money, food, and horses all depend on Tao Qian's supply, as long as he shows a little objection, Tao Qian will cut off these supplies, and he will become a loner. Liu Bei knew in his heart that if he wanted to develop his own power, he couldn't do without the support of financial resources. But where does the money come from? Liu Bei, who was shy in his pocket, naturally thought of the Mi family, the richest man in Xuzhou, so Jian Yong and Guan Yu were ordered to go to the Mi family to ask for a name.

Mi Zhu looked at Jian Yong, who was full of embarrassment, and said with a smile: "My little sister passed the ceremony last year, and she is already at the age of talking about marriage, and it is reasonable for Xu to have a family. It's just that I haven't told you, so don't blame you. ”

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, especially Tao Qian's suspicion, the Mi family has always kept the matter of Mi Zhen and Zhang Liaoding a secret, and few people in the outside world know about it, so it is understandable that Liu Bei and Jian Yong did not know.

Guan Yu has been very dull for a while since he lost to Lu Bu, and now he finally cheered up, but he made such a joke again, he has always been arrogant, his face was a little unbearable, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord Mi, you have a very good relationship with my eldest brother, why don't you even invite my eldest brother to a drink for such a big event when my sister marries?" ”

This is a bit of a hint of asking the teacher, but Mi Zhu knew that Guan Yu was brave and martial, and he didn't want to turn his face with him, so he had to give up his hand and say: "General Guan is angry, the little sister has just done the gift of asking for her name, and she has not yet married." If it is really the day of marriage, you have to invite Lord Liu, General Guan and Mr. Jian to come together and drink a glass of water and wine. ”

Guan Yu snorted, his eyes seemed to be closed, and he stopped talking.

Jian Yong was secretly happy in her heart, and asked in a loud voice: "According to what Lord Mi said, Ling Mei really only did the gift of asking for her name?" ”

Mi Zhu didn't understand what Jian Yong meant, he was a sincere person, and he replied casually without thinking about it: "It's true that I only did the gift of asking for names, otherwise there is no reason not to invite you to come and drink." ”

Mi Zhen has a few more eyes than his eldest brother, and when he heard Jian Yong's words, he said angrily in his heart, he didn't give up after being like this, do you still want me to marry and help that guy with big ears weave straw shoes? Mi Zhen couldn't help but stretch out her hands in front of her eyes and shook them, imagining that the delicate little hands that pinched out the water rubbed the straw all day long, turning into a pair of old bark, she couldn't help but shiver, and secretly glad that she had already made a family relationship with Zhang Liao, otherwise it would be dangerous.

In fact, Mi Zhu was also secretly relieved at this time, if it wasn't for Mi Zhen who fell in love with Zhang Liao, then Liu Bei would come to propose marriage now, but he didn't refuse, he didn't refuse, and he was in a dilemma. Refuse, it is obvious that he wants to offend Liu Bei, who can be sure whether Tao Qian will give him the position of Xuzhou Mu in the future. Don't refuse, Mi Zhen will marry a second wife at most, and she will be a little sorry for her little sister after all.

Jian Yong saw that Mi Zhu answered briskly, not as if he was fake, so he immediately laughed and said: "Lord Mi, it turns out that Sister Ling is just asking for her name, and she can't be officially married. A daughter of a hundred families begged, Jian and General Guan can also do the gift of asking for my family's name, there is nothing wrong, as long as my family's father-in-law grabs the other party's Najina Zheng, there will be no hindrance! ”

Mi Zhen, who was hiding behind the window, couldn't help but get nervous, and her heart rose to her throat, for fear that her eldest brother would be confused and agree to come down for a while. You must know that Jian Yong is calculating or not, as soon as they leave the Mi family, they can go to prepare the things for Nagina's levy, Zhang Liao is still in the dark, where can he catch up with them. Mi Zhen has secretly decided that if the eldest brother agrees, she will try to escape from the house no matter what, and go to report to Zhang Liao.

Although Jian Yong said it well, strictly speaking, Na Cai's name is really not a formal marriage, but Mi Zhu is a moral model, not to mention that Zhang Liao is the little sister herself, and she is loyal, and she will never take the initiative to regret this family business, how can he agree to Jian Yong's absurd idea, and hurriedly said: "This matter must not be!" ”

Guan Yu saw that he flatly refused, and his heart was furious, "Huo" stood up and said loudly: "Why not!" My eldest brother is a relative of the Han family and a hero in the world, and your sister marrying my eldest brother will not disgrace her! How dare you push back like this! ”

Jian Yong and Guan Yu are two, one is clearly singing with a red face and the other with a white face. He saw Guan Yu angry, and said with a smile: "General Guan, don't be impatient, Jian thought that Master Mi would consider it carefully." Dare to ask Lord Mi, I don't know what kind of person Ling Mei is having, can you tell me? ”

Mi Zhu knew that he couldn't hide it, and was about to tell the truth, when he suddenly saw the doorman just now running in in a hurry, glanced at Jian Yong and Guan Yu, and whispered a few words in Mi Zhu's ear. Mi Zhu frowned, arched his hand towards Jian Yong and Guan Yu, and said: "Mi has a friend to visit, and I invite the two of you to sit in the side hall first. ”
