The moonlight shone like broken pieces in the yard, reflecting the cobblestones on the ground glowing slightly.
From a distance, it looks like moonlight swimming in the water.
Mi Zhu's words, "I have a sister who is married to a military advisor," fell into Zhao Chen's heart like a pebble, stirring up waves in his heart.
Zhao Chen looked at Mi Zhu in surprise.
Historically speaking, Mi Lujun should have appeared in Haixi County. Just because of a reply from her, not only did Mi Lujun's appearance be delayed, but her life path was also changed.
"Why did Mr. Zizhong say this?"
No matter from any angle, the best choice for the Mi family is Liu Bei.
A family spent all their money to support Liu Bei, which was regarded as asking for advice and getting a job. But if you want to gain a foothold in the camp, the next step is naturally to marry, either with the lord, or with someone who is related to the lord by blood.
That is the long-term development plan.
Mi Zhu is a smart man, how could he bring up the idea of marriage to a lonely man like him.
Zhao Chen had to think about whether Mi Zhu had other intentions.
Hearing this, Mi Zhu smiled and said, "Zhu knows what the military advisor is worried about. It's just that my master is nearly forty years old, and he is far different from my sister. Besides, this is the only sister in the Mi family, and both Zhu and his second brother Fang dote on her." .As for marriage, my sister has a calm temperament and is quite independent, so I naturally need to listen to her opinion."
"Sir, you mean that the Mi family sister is more inclined to me?"
"It's not just an inclination, it's my admiration for you!"
Isn't this right?
Zhao Chen has only appeared in this history for more than a month, and he is not a famous person. Mi Lujun has probably never heard of him, let alone met him, so how can he fall in love with him?
Mi Zhu saw Zhao Chen's doubts and explained: "The Mi family remembers the content of the lord's reply and has been paying attention to the movements of the army. Every battle will be analyzed with the family members. Although the sister of the family has not met the military advisor, the military advisor has extraordinary resourcefulness. He has captured my sister's heart a long time ago. I wonder if the military advisor knows about it? Nowadays, there is a saying in Guangling County: Liu Bei's military advisor is in peace with the world, and his scheming genius is Saipan's security."
Zhao Chen smiled helplessly, he had never heard of the rumors in Guangling County.
But he admired Mi Zhu. The fate of women in ancient times was very tragic. Most of the upper-class families were married and would not consider the wishes of women. The lower class people mostly just have children and raise children in order to make a living. They live in poverty all their lives, and even in the war years, they are reduced to food.
In this era when women cannot have freedom in marriage, Mi Zhu can listen to his sister's opinions, which shows that Mi Zhu has a broad vision and broad vision.
Mi Zhu took advantage of the victory and pursued: "There are no women in the Zhu Guan Military Academy to arrange daily life. After all, it is not a long-term solution. If the military advisor doesn't mind, how about letting my sister come to serve the military advisor tomorrow?"
Zhao Chen shook his head when he heard this.
"The Mi family is a well-known family. Is there any reason to join the family and serve in the house without marrying?"
"What the military advisor said is that Zhu acted too hastily."
Mi Zhu stood up and immediately bowed.
"What's more, Chen already has his heart set on something."
There is nothing Zhao Chen can do to take away Liu Bei's wife. That was the person who awakened Zhao Yun in Changbanpo. He was also rated as "Tong Shi Sheng Guang Yun" in history. He was more virtuous than the two women of Soochow. .
He, a common man, cannot afford it.
After hearing what Zhao Chen said, Mi Zhu's face was filled with a sense of loss.
"I wonder which rich girl is lucky enough to be favored by a military advisor?"
Mi Zhu asked tentatively.
No matter what, Mi Zhu must have a reply, otherwise when she returns home, her sister will dig into the matter with her tenacious character.
Zhao Chen smiled slightly: "She is not the daughter of a rich family, nor is she the daughter of a powerful person, she is just the daughter of an ordinary person. She is cute, gentle and virtuous."
He used the word "qianjin" on ordinary people because he wanted to tell Mi Zhu that he, Zhao Chen, was not a person who climbed up the dragon and clung to the phoenix. I was born into an ordinary family, and so was the person I was paired with.
As the saying goes, they are a perfect match.
Zhao Chen had never understood before that marriage was a matter between two people, so how could it still be related to one another?
It wasn't until I delved into the history of the Three Kingdoms that I discovered that it really makes sense to be a good match.
People from two families of different levels have enjoyed different lives since birth, and have different world views and outlook on life. Can such two people live long enough to grow old? To put it bluntly, climbing high and marrying low is not necessarily a good thing.
Mi Zhu nodded, finally understanding Zhao Chen's intention.
But in this case, the Mi family has only one way to go, and Luyun can only marry Liu Bei.
"The military advisor's righteousness is unparalleled. Zhu is rude."
"It's already late at night and Zhuduo is disturbing us. Please ask the military advisor to take a rest early."
Mi Zhu leaned over to salute, and then slowly exited Zhao Chen's courtyard.
"Mr. Zizhong, go slowly."
Zhao Chen sent Mi Zhu to the door, returned the gift, and said goodbye.
The courtyard fell into silence again.
Zhao Chen carefully picked up the teapot on the side, poured the remaining tea in the cup aside, and slowly filled it up.
Then he picked it up and took a sip.
A mellow aroma remains in the mouth.
"This is good tea, but it's too hot. You can only taste it slowly and don't be impatient."
…
When Mi Zhu returned home, her younger brother Mi Fang and younger sister Lu Jun had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the two people waiting anxiously in the main hall, Mi Zhu didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Brother, what do you say about Houde?"
Mi Luyun was more anxious than anyone else, after all, it was her lifelong happiness.
She no longer calls him "strategist", but calls Zhao Chen directly, which makes him more intimate.
If Zhao Chen disagrees, the only way left is to marry Liu Bei.
In Luyun's eyes, Zhao Chen was a hundred times stronger than Liu Bei.
A young man with unparalleled resourcefulness, he has an irreplaceable position in Liu Bei's army. Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei respect Zhao Chen.
I heard that Qiao Rui insulted Zhao Chen and was beaten half to death by Zhang Fei.
It is enough to show that Zhao Chen is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people in Liu Bei's camp.
The Mi family does not need the support of the top political power, but a stable and developing background.
Mi Zhu glanced at Lu Yun and sighed.
"Military advisor, I refuse."
Mi Fang hurriedly asked: "Why? Brother, didn't the military advisor say anything else?"
Lu Yun also lowered his head in disappointment.
Mi Zhu shook his head and replied: "The military advisor said that he already has someone he loves."
"who?"
Luyun asked hurriedly.
Mi Zhu knew his sister's habits, so he could only answer truthfully: "I only know that she is a girl from an ordinary family."
Mi Fang was anxious: "Brother, why would the military advisor rather marry a commoner girl than his younger sister? The Mi family is a wealthy family in Xuzhou, and my younger sister is even more beautiful and virtuous. How can she be inferior to the daughter of an ordinary commoner family?"
Mi Zhu held out four fingers and said, "We are a good match."
"Although the military advisor didn't say it, I could hear it from his words. We also knew the military advisor before. He was an ordinary young man in Zhaojia Village, Xutai County. People in the village had no impression of him. So he chose a commoner. The girl at home is really normal."
"But he is now the lord's military advisor, and his position is unmatched by anyone except Liu Xuande!"
How could Mi Zhu not know this? Maybe these four words were just Zhao Chen's prevarication. In any case, Zhao Chen refused.
Mi Zhu said helplessly: "Sister, it's my eldest brother who can't help you. After all, our Mi family doesn't have this blessing. For the sake of the Mi family, eldest brother can only promise you to our lord Liu Xuande."
Mi Lujun kept walking back and forth in the main hall with red eyes.
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang watched quietly.
After a long while, Lu Jun said firmly: "No, I will never marry Liu Bei."
After saying that, he ran outside.
Mi Zhu hurriedly followed, grabbed Lu Yun and asked, "Sister, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Zhao Chen!"
"Nonsense! How can a girl go out on the street late at night and take the initiative to find someone?"
Luyun struggled and shouted:
"What is a good match? In your eyes, a good match must have the same family background, but in Luyun's eyes, a good match does not."
"Love is a matter between two people. If they love each other and love each other equally, then in Luyun's eyes, they are a perfect match!"
Mi Zhu was stunned. How could he understand the desire for love when facing his sixteen-year-old sister.
His own marriage was arranged by his parents, and he had no say in it at all.
Back then, he also longed to be able to choose on his own.
"Brother, my sister has to decide her own happiness. How can she be restricted by this world? Do you want to watch your sister suffer all her life?"
Mi Zhu looked at Lu Yun, whose eyes were full of determination, and slowly let go of her hand.
I can't let my sister bear my regrets anymore.
Mi Luyun ran out without looking back.
Mi Zhu just ordered his servants: "Protect the eldest lady."
