[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

Chen Gong's eyes were blackened by the black pot that fell from the sky, he said solemnly: "Madam, don't joke with Gong, Gong has never said such a thing, my wife is cautious and obedient, and it is impossible to insult the innocence of the lord. "

Yan's smile became colder: "Mr. Chen thinks my concubine is slandering you?"

Chen Gong said bitterly, neither did he admit it nor did he deny it: "That's not what it meant...just, maybe there is some misunderstanding in it?"

Yan Shi ignored his argument, her phoenix eyes turned upside down, and she turned to Lu Bu:

"Chen Gongtai is your husband's counselor. If there is no such thing, why would the concubine slander Chen Gongtai's innocence out of thin air? Both the husband and the concubine are honored together, so why did the concubine do such a thing of 'breaking her own arm'?"

"Ma'am, don't be angry." Lu Bu hurriedly comforted Yan, turned his head and looked coldly at Chen Gong, "You still want to quibble? If this absurd statement to smear Ben's reputation didn't come from you, could it be that Ben gave himself Dumping your own cow dung - ruining your reputation?"

Before Chen Gong could defend himself again, Lu Bu had already gestured to see the guest off, "You have stained my reputation and compared me to a womanizer, what are you so concerned about? I think you have done a great job, and I will spare you once more. Go back to the mansion and think about the past." Bar."

Then he called someone to drive Chen Gong away.

Chen Gong returned home full of aggrieved hearts.His wife heard the news and welcomed him into the house at the door.

When Chen Gong saw his wife, he said with restraint: "Where did you get the news that Lu Bu insulted his wife and concubine? Why didn't you tell me, and talk nonsense in front of Mrs. Yan!"

Chen Gong's wife was terrified and surprised: "The news of Mr. Lu... has spread outside, and I have no time to report it to my husband. As for Mrs. Yan... I only had an ordinary conversation with Mrs. Yan. I would like to follow my husband's teachings, Be cautious in your words and deeds, abide by etiquette, how dare you be presumptuous in front of Madam?"

Based on Chen Gong's understanding of his wife, it is true that he is not of the temperament of being talkative and troublesome.

"You really never talked about Lu Bu in front of Mrs. Yan?"

Mrs. Chen Gong was so startled that her legs went limp:

"My wife is Lu Gong's wife. As the saying goes, 'there is no close relationship', how can the concubine mention this matter in front of the lady? Could it be that some demon has lowered her head?"

Chen Gong sat quietly for a long time, floods surged in his eyes, which finally turned into long sighs of resentment:

"After years of planning, I'm afraid it will be destroyed by this woman's hands!"

The next day, the Yan family, who was guarded and hostile by Chen Gong, stood leisurely in the garden picking flowers.

The breeze brushed against her face, stirring her hair, and lightly touched the beauty's face.

Yan took an anthurium with scissors and threw it into the bamboo basket held by the maid.

"Since taking sister Qiao's medicine, my body has become more and more comfortable. If it weren't for sister Qiao, I don't know how long this strange disease will torture me."

"Madam's illness is just a minor ailment. Even without Qiao Ji, Madam can live a long life."

"What's the meaning of 'longevity', which is tortured by Guishui every month and lives uncomfortable?" Yan Shi took "Sister Qiao"'s hand and patted the back of her hand lightly. Grace', you have to feel at ease."

"Sister Qiao" bowed her head in embarrassment: "It's all thanks to Madam for saving her life. Qiao Ji just did her best to repay Madam."

Mrs. Yan was very happy: "It's because of the predestined relationship between you and me that there is a cause and effect. My sister is not only good at medical skills, but also has a unique skill in combing buns. The 'Spirit Snake bun' you combed for me today is very special. It looks good, even Enlang has been paying attention to it for a long time, let me comb it like this in the future."

"Sister Qiao" became more and more embarrassed: "The concubine just needs to take care of it a little bit, and it all depends on the lady's natural beauty to make the general linger."

Yan became more and more happy, and continued to lead Qiao Ji to the garden.As she walked, she suddenly remembered the recent rumors, and her mood suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy.

"Recently, it has been rumored by everyone that En Lang 'had an affair with the wife and concubine of the general'. I don't want to believe it, but I dare not believe it."

Qiao Ji lowered her eyebrows and looked down: "It's not true what you hear."

Yan said angrily: "A few days ago you persuaded me like this. But I thought about it, how can there be waves in this windless situation? I asked everywhere, and in the end I really caught some signs."

Because of her emotional ups and downs, she didn't pay attention, and when picking the flowers, she lost her way and cut the top buds into pieces.

"According to your suggestion, I tried to test it out. Enlang did not punish Chen Gong, and after Chen Gong returned home and confronted his wife, there was no sound... It can be seen that this rumor is not false. Enlang and Chen Gong , all have ghosts in their hearts, and dare not delve into this matter."

Qiao Ji said: "Why is Madam so pessimistic, maybe there is something hidden in it."

"When Enlang was serving Dong Zhuo, he had a relationship with Dong Zhuo's maid. How could I not know what he looks like?"

Yan's charming voice seemed to be icy, and after she finished speaking, she felt that she was losing her composure, and raised her sleeves to cover up her lips,

"I know your good intentions, so don't try to persuade me again. I know right and wrong."

Qiao Ji sighed quietly: "In addition to taking care of the family and raising children, women also have to plan for themselves. Don't you see, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty (Liu Xiu) first abandoned the Yin family and married Guo's daughter, and then abandoned the Guo family on trumped-up charges. , it can be seen that men's love is like illusory floating clouds, and it does not last long. But women are born weak and can't help themselves, which is really sad. Qiao Ji boldly begged Madam: everything should be the most important thing, no matter whether General Lu's matter is true or not, You have to think about your own body, don't get angry with your own body."

Yan's face was moved, he held Qiao Ji's hand tightly, and whispered in her ear:

"In this world, my sister is the only one who really thinks about me. Don't worry, my sister will be abandoned in Chang'an, and she will never believe what a man says. If the king is not responsible, the concubine will not leave. If the king wants to abandon me... A ruthless light flashed in her eyes, "There is also a way for concubines to return together."

This sound is like the words of a demon, I don't know if it is talking about Lu Bu or Qiao Ji.

After Qiao Ji separated from Yan Shi, she returned to her guest house, closed the door, took out a black pill from her pocket, and quietly threw it in the corner.

After a while, a fat mouse crawled in from the small hole blocked by the bed, got into the corner of the wall where the pills were, picked up the pills and gnawed.

Georgie grabbed the mouse and groped its back for a long time, finally found a piece of fake fur, and pulled it out.

On the back of the fake fur, there are several rows of petite characters that are difficult to read with the naked eye.

Qiao Ji turned her back, took out from her bosom a glass mirror that was polished flat, the middle was thicker than the two sides, and pointed it at the fur to carefully identify it.

After half a stick of incense, she had written down all the above contents, then put away the glazed mirror, put the fur back on the mouse's back, and released it.

A few days later, Gao Shun returned with Liu Bei's wife and children, and told Lu Bu about his defeat of Xiahou Dun and Liu Bei:

"Zhang Wenyuan is stationed in Xiaopei, I will lead the troops back to the city to ask the lord for instructions."

This good news wiped away Lu Bu's unhappiness in the past few days, and made him elated: "Well done! Yuan Xun deserves a big reward for his great contribution!"

"Thanks to the lord for not giving up, and willing to use the sharp knife in the lord's hand to open up the territory for the lord."

Lu Bu rewarded Gao Shun with a horse from the Western Regions, a carload of gold, silver and jewelry, a house full of fine wine, and two beauties.

He also placed Liu Bei's wife and children in a remote corner of the house and sent them to eat every day.

When Lv Bu's wife, Yan Shi, heard the news—that Lv Bu had brought some beautiful women and children home—the face turned green with anger, and she put on the most beautiful clothes and the most expensive decorations , and brought a large group of servants to the foothold of Liu Bei's wife and children.

Entering the door with great fanfare, his eyes quickly swept over the two children with long hair, turned around the three young women, and finally fell on the dignified, elegant and beautiful woman in brocade clothes, the best dressed and most temperamental woman.

With this woman's talent, appearance and temperament, she doesn't look like the concubines and concubines Le Ling who are for people to enjoy.

Yan Shi felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

She questioned the two guards staying in the room:

"Who is this?"

"Liu Bei's wife, concubine and children."

After receiving the answer, Yan Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned even tighter: "Liu Bei's wife and children, why are they here?"

Could it be that her husband is so anxious that he doesn't even let Liu Bei's wives and concubines go?

The guards didn't know Yan's thoughts, and replied sternly: "They are the captives brought back by Commander Gao to present to the general."

Hearing that it was Gao Shun who offered it, Yan suddenly lost his affection for Gao Shun.

She knew that Liu Bei and her husband were at odds, but it was a shame to involve a woman in a man's business!

Looking at Liu Bei's wives and concubines, I feel a little more compassion in my heart.Afraid that a few people would really be favored by Lu Bu, Yan ordered the servants:

"Be good at serving, don't allow anyone to disturb you. Liu Bei was very close to En Lang, and his wife is my righteous sister. You must not be rude. Men and women are different, you two need to wait outside, don't let any man approach , otherwise you two are the only ones to ask."

Any man, naturally including Lu Bu.

The two guards felt something, but they didn't dare to ask, and went out with their heads down.

When the two of them left the house, the dignifiedly dressed woman with the most temperament finally stretched her stern eyebrows and bowed to Yan Shi:

"Thank you ma'am."

Yan waved his hand and stared at the woman for a while: "Are you Liu Bei's regular wife?"

The woman nodded: "My surname is Mi, and I am the younger sister of Mi Zhu in Xuzhou."

Mrs. Yan had never heard Mi Zhu's name before, but felt that this surname was very special: "Don't be afraid, just treat yourself as a guest here...Although Enlang has a violent temper, he never hits women and children cruelly."

Mrs. Mi said: "General Lu is a hero. Fortunately, Madam."

Yan said politely: "Liu Yuzhou is also a hero among people."

Madam Mi pursed her lips, but said nothing.

Now that the conversation has started, Yan Shi took the opportunity to test: "Two years ago, Enlang captured Xiapi, and I heard that my wife was also a guest in the army at that time..."

Two years ago (the first year of Jian'an), Lu Bu took advantage of Yuan Shu to attack Liu Bei, captured Xiapi in one fell swoop, and captured Liu Bei's wife and children.Now that Lu Bu's subordinates have kidnapped Liu Bei's wife and children, Yan has to wonder whether her husband has some ulterior secrets with Liu Bei's wife and children.

Yan Shi was trying to figure out the relationship between the two of them in her head, but she saw Mrs. Mi curling up her lips with a smile that was not a smile:

"Ma'am, worry too much. I was not the 'Mrs. Liu Bei' who was taken away by General Lu two years ago. It was because General Lu took away the previous 'Mrs. Liu Bei' that I had the opportunity to be married to Liu Bei by my brother."

Yan Shi: ...

The author has something to say: Yan Shi: This is embarrassing.
