"How can I not know, but unfortunately I have no choice."

Xiaoli grabbed Chen Yan's wrist, looked at Chen Yan who was pear-blossoming and raining in front of her, and said, "I have no choice, miss, you are a member of the Chen clan in Yingchuan. You have to give in again and again. Although Xiao Li doesn't study much, she also understands that children are important, but maintaining her own status is more important. Cao Sikong's wife, Mrs. Ding, has no children. Why does the lady have to wrong herself? .”

Chen Yan broke free from Xiaoli's hands and looked at the sunlight shining in.

"Although my Chen family can be considered a famous family, as my husband and Duke Cao are going against each other, even though I am a daughter of the Chen family, I have to draw a clear line from my mother's family. Although the Lu family is just an ordinary noble family, Lu Yiling is Wenhou after all. The only bloodline of Lv Bu during his lifetime, if your husband combines with her, it will be equivalent to winning over those civil and military hearts who were originally loyal to Marquis Wen. It will have indelible benefits for the great cause in the future."

If it wasn't for the orderly hierarchy, Xiao Li really wanted to pry the lady's head off to see why the clever lady in the past became so stupid.

After a moment of silence, Xiaoli suddenly asked: "Does the master know about this?"

This is also where Chen Yan is worried, although taking concubines is something that regular wives have to do.

But with Lv Yiling's special status, a concubine might not be enough, at least she must be an ordinary wife.

flat wife!It is the position second only to the main wife among the three wives, and there are usually two.

The main wife is the main wife that the Ming media is marrying. This main wife has the highest status among all the women in the whole family. This main wife will definitely match up with the man's family.After marrying and returning home, the regular wife is in charge.The status of the other two equal wives is lower than that of the main wife, but their status is still higher than that of concubines.

Fortunately, Cao Anmin doesn't have many women around him now, and there aren't many confrontations.If it is really like those emperors in history, the gap between the status of concubines and wives will only become wider and wider.

Because of this gap, in today's era, most families have only one official wife, and the rest are all concubines.Unless the main wife dies or is divorced, it is difficult for the concubine's room to have a chance to stand out.

"Not yet!"

Xiaoli knew that with Cao Anmin's personality, she would never agree to this marriage. If she wanted to stop the young lady from doing stupid things, she had to push the matter to the master.

"Whether it's taking a concubine or marrying a wife is not a trivial matter, Xiaoli thinks it's better to let the master know first."

Chen Yan glanced at Xiaoli, didn't say much, and nodded slightly after thinking for a moment.

Chapter 168 Tragic Liu Bei

Cao Anmin entered Xuzhou and completely reshuffled Xuzhou's structure.

In the era of Tao Qian, the political situation in Xuzhou was controlled by the four families of Tao Chen Cao Mi.After Liu Bei took charge, the Tao family weakened, and then Cao Bao died in the dispute between Liu Bei and Lu Bu.Mi Zhu, the patriarch of the Mi clan, followed the example of Lu Buwei, the famous Prime Minister of Qin, and married his younger sister to Liu Bei in exchange for a future.After Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu, the Mi clan gradually faded out of sight.Only the Chen family is free among the major forces, no matter who is sitting in Xuzhou, they can be honored and favored unchanged.

Donghai County, Mi's Ancestral Hall.

Today is the day of the Mi clan's ancestral hall.According to the rules, all the descendants of the Mi family must gather together to offer sacrifices to their ancestors to show their respect.

To say that Xuzhou's most worthy of talking about is not Chen Deng, who is constantly honored and favored, but the Mi family in the East China Sea, who is as rich as a country.Mi Zhu is famous for three things.First, he has countless wealth, and he is so rich that he can send Liu Bei tens of thousands of soldiers.It can be seen from this that Mi Zhu's financial management ability is absolutely top-notch, and the financial resources of the Mi family are also incomparably rich.

The second is Mi's married daughter.At the beginning, Liu Bei was sitting in Xuzhou, although he was older and Mi Zhu had many younger sisters.But in terms of identity and status, it is considered a match.But now, Liu Bei is trapped in Xiaopei. He is called the prefect of a county, but he is actually the magistrate of a county.Looking at how strong Liu Bei was at the beginning, we can see how low he was.

The third is Mi Zhu himself.When it comes to the handsome men in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu is definitely second to none.The rapid prosperity of the Mi clan is due to their ability on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also relies on their flesh and blood to shorten the relationship with others.

"Big Brother, Second Brother." A group of carriages stopped slowly at the door, and a young woman wearing a scarf stepped out of the carriage.

"Little sister must have worked hard after traveling and traveling!" Mi Zhu looked at the tired-looking younger sister in front of him, feeling somewhat regretful amidst his love.Girls from other people's families are all married to wealthy families. In this life, all boats will rise when the tide rises, and they will have endless glory and wealth.But my own sister, with a beautiful appearance, is not only disgraced, but also sneaky like a thief when she returns home.

Everything is caused by my own greed and insufficiency.

"Little sister, what's so tiring in the car, there are two older brothers to take care of me at home, they must be much more tiring than me." Mi Zhu was about to speak, when Mi Fang tugged at his elder brother's sleeve and shook her head.

"Okay, there are a lot of people outside, let's go in quickly."

Right now, although Liu Bei and Cao Anmin have no disputes.But the matter of Shouchun is still vivid in my mind.When Cao Anmin first met, he planned to frame Liu Bei.Now that he is sitting in the six counties of Xuzhou, if he realizes that Liu Bei's men are coming to Xuzhou, he will definitely take precautions and take action. By then, they will only suffer.

In the ancestral temple, all the ceremonies were completed, Mi Zhu hadn't spoken yet, but Mi Fang couldn't bear it, and asked first, "Little sister, how did Duke Xuande treat you?"

Mi Zhu glared at Mi Fang, although the second younger brother didn't follow the lord, but this is the lord's family affairs, so it's not good for me to ask too much.

"He treated me very well!" Mi Huan's expression was a little dark.

The Mi clan was born as a businessman, so how can they not see the attitude of their little sister.

After Liu Bei arrived in Xuzhou, he took one wife and one concubine successively. His first wife, Gan Shi, was a little-known figure, but she entered the mansion before his sister, and his sister must have suffered a lot in the past, otherwise she wouldn't be This look.

"Zifang, Cao Anmin didn't make things difficult for you during my absence in Xuzhou, did he?"

Mi Fang is different from Mi Zhu, he has liked military since he was a child, but unfortunately Mi Zhu's father, the old patriarch of the Mi family, did not allow him to learn martial arts, he secretly learned against his father's wishes, which led to the fate of being incapable of writing and martial arts.

"Cao Anmin didn't embarrass us, brother. I have a sentence that I have kept in my heart for a long time, and I really don't want to vomit it."

Mi Zhu didn't stop him, but just lowered his head and arranged the tribute on the table.

"During the period when Cao Anmin ruled Xuzhou, everyone has seen it. Take our Donghai County prefect as an example. I admire him very much. Both literary and martial arts are excellent characters. I believe that Xuzhou will be in Cao An in a short time. Let's take off in the hands of the people. Let's bet all our treasures on Liu Bei, so we won't end up in the end!"

Mi Zhu didn't say a word. The reason why he bet all the family's resources on Liu Bei was also because he had great political ambitions.

Agricultural business.

Even if a businessman has wealth that can rival a country, his status is far inferior to that of the gentry.Mi Zhu is in charge of the Mi Clan just to change the current situation.

But now it seems that his choice was a bit wrong.

At first, Liu Bei was extremely polite to them, discussing all matters big and small with them before implementing them.But since that guy named Lee Sun Jang came, everything changed.

Not only did government affairs have nothing to do with him, but even the financial power he managed was divided a lot.

If things go on like this, I am afraid that my counselor will be an existence without money.

Mi Zhu is a person who is nostalgic for his hometown.Back then, if Liu Bei hadn't become Xuzhou Mu, I'm afraid he wouldn't have surrendered to the other side.It's a pity that he got on the thief's boat in the end, not only lost his family's wealth, but also lost his sister, and ended up with nothing. It's really a pity.

Now, with another choice in front of him, how could he not be tempted.

"Cao Anmin is really so powerful?" Mi Zhu's face was a little unnatural, and he followed Liu Bei all day long, although he had heard a lot about Cao Anmin.But those are hearsay after all, and now it is said by my own brother, the authenticity is completely incomparable.

"Brother, you don't know that Xuzhou is really monolithic right now. Cao Anmin not only pays attention to agriculture, but also vigorously supports commerce. Although the tax has increased a lot, any army can enter Xuzhou without hindrance. It’s extremely convenient. This month alone, we make more money than we have in the past three or four months.”

A look of disbelief appeared on Mi Zhu's face.

Everything about him is hearsay, but he has never seen Cao Anmin's ability.Returning to Xuzhou this time, on the one hand, is to worship the ancestors, and on the other hand, it is also to think about the future of the Mi clan.

Liu Bei is obviously an existence that cannot accomplish great things.If you continue to follow him, you will only lose the heritage of the Mi Clan.Instead of this, it is better to find another way.

Seeing the hesitant expressions on the faces of the two elder brothers, Mi Huan sighed and said, "Actually, my younger sister hasn't slept with Duke Xuande all this year."

This statement shocked the two people in front of them like a bolt from the blue.

Especially Mi Zhu, he couldn't figure it out, his younger sister is also an extremely outstanding beauty, and she has been married to Liu Bei for nearly a year.Facing such a beauty, Liu Bei was actually indifferent.

"How is this possible! Little girl, don't talk nonsense." Mi Zhu's face was full of anger.

Mi Huan's face was full of grief and indignation.Although I have a husband-in-law in name, in fact, I have been a widow this year.Now tell the truth, the two elder brothers don't believe it.

After a while, Mi Huan sighed and said: "Back then, Duke Xuande was shot in the abdomen during the battle with Yuan Shu. Although the doctor healed him well, he also told him to stay away from women until he fully recovered. Because of this, not only me, but even Sister Gan is still perfect."
