Han Rong's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything instantly pierced Liu Bei's false modesty, and saw his eagerness to climb to fame.
Han Rong knew that Liu Bei was eager to climb up, gain power, and change his destiny.
He felt that he had completely seen through the burning fire of desire in the heart of this humble boy.
Liu Bei was not surprised.
If you can't even see this, this prefect Han is too stupid.
Who has never seen someone who can become the prefect of a county, equivalent to the monarch of the 700,000 people in the county, and have the power of life and death in his hands?
Liu Bei is not a deep-minded old fox, or he is far from that level. How can he hide his fiery heart for fame?
But then again, without this burning desire for fame, would Han Rong be willing to marry his daughter to Liu Bei?
Will you hand over the most valuable political resources to Liu Bei?
So Liu Bei laughed.
"Nothing can be hidden from my father-in-law. Indeed, Bei really wants to become a high-ranking official, hold great power, and express his ambitions. To be honest, Bei is also a member of the Han clan, but he has lived a life like weaving mats and selling shoes since he was a child. How can we be willing to perish?”
"well said!"
Han Rong laughed loudly and held Liu Bei's hand: "A man must have such magnanimity and pursuit. Now that he has embarked on an official career, he must not feel afraid. No matter what he faces, he must Work hard and strive for the top!
When a man stands between heaven and earth, the most important thing is naturally power. If he does not have power, what is the difference between him and an ant? With power, you can do what you want to do, get what you want, and be happy with your life. This is the most wonderful thing in the world! "
"Don't forget your father-in-law's teachings!"
"Well, just remember."
Han Rong nodded with satisfaction, and after a while, his tone became gentle.
"Ning'er is my only daughter. I only have this daughter. I regard her as the apple of my eye. Now I am betrothed to you. I only hope that you will treat her well. And... have a child as soon as possible. You are not young anymore. You Almost twenty years old.
And one thing you have to pay attention to is that if you have no heirs during your tenure as an official, it will have some influence on the issue of promotion. The more heirs you have, the more prosperous your descendants will be, and the more people will be willing to promote you and follow you, remember? ? "
This is quite true.
In this era of extremely high infant mortality rates, if a person in a high position does not have enough heirs, he will not be favored by others, because it will be difficult for him to have suitable heirs for his power and career, and it will be difficult for the family business to be passed on. .
In other words, his career will not be stable.
The more children there are, and the more children survive to adulthood, the more favored this person and this family will be by people, because the probability of a successful inheritance of this family will be greatly increased, and everyone's investment will not be easily lost. Water drifts.
So Liu Bei suddenly felt that time was tight, the tasks were heavy, and the responsibilities he shouldered were very important. He felt that he must not let Han Ning go home tonight, and he couldn't waste his good time.
So Liu Bei looked at Han Rong with a solemn expression.
"Keep in mind what my father-in-law said."
"That's good."
Han Rong nodded.
Liu Bei always respected his teacher, not to mention that he was his father-in-law, so when he got home that day, he immediately followed his father-in-law's instructions and carried Han Ning into the bedroom. As soon as the door was closed and the curtain was drawn, it started.
Han Ning was still young and sometimes couldn't bear the energetic Liu Bei's fanatical offensive, so he could only call Han Xiaodie to help in the battle. The two fought against Liu Bei together, and they fought equally well.
Everyone knows the meaning of this personal maid marrying with the young lady in the family. Therefore, Han Xiaodie is equivalent to Liu Bei's destined first concubine. As long as she can give birth to an heir, she will be officially promoted to concubine and get A certain status.
Speaking of it, in terms of combat power, Liu Bei felt that Han Xiaodie was obviously more powerful than Han Ning.
It was easy for Liu Bei to deal with Han Ning. There was no difficulty. He could defeat Han Ning without any effort.
Dealing with Han Xiaodie often requires Liu Bei to fight vigorously to the point of sweating profusely, otherwise the battle will remain deadlocked and Liu Bei will lose face.
This may really be a matter of talent, and it also made Liu Bei feel that he needed to exercise more and take more supplements, otherwise he would not be able to replenish what he had consumed, which would be bad for his health.
So occasionally Han Ning would find it annoying, thinking that Han Xiaodie could fight Liu Bei better than him, could occupy Liu Bei for a longer time, and get Liu Bei's favor more.
Later, she asked Han Xiaodie in front of Liu Bei how much she had learned from the old wives of the Han family, and asked her to teach her some secrets so that she could get more favor from Liu Bei.
Han Xiaodie has the demeanor of a general on the regular battlefield and is very good at fighting. However, once he leaves the battlefield and returns to daily life, his face becomes tender and he is so embarrassed that he can only cover his face and be speechless.
How can we blame the individual for problems with his or her physical constitution that are innate?
Liu Bei said some fair words for Han Xiaodie, which made Han Ning very jealous and immediately pushed Liu Bei down to seek revenge. Of course, the result was in vain.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the fun in the boudoir, and Liu Bei does not dare to indulge too much.
There was an experience before where he spent two days and two nights doing nothing but eating and sleeping. After it was over, Liu Bei felt that his legs were shaking when he walked, he couldn't get on his horse, and he was looked at with strange eyes by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
That experience made Liu Bei feel very humiliated, and from then on he did not dare to indulge too much.
Similar to Liu Bei, some funny things happened after Guan Yu and the other four married their wives.
For example, Zhang Fei relied on his physical strength and fought with his wife all night without stopping. As a result, when Liu Bei was performing martial arts for the private soldiers in the village, the guy couldn't run after just a few laps.
In that scene, Zhang Fei was panting and sweating, and was laughed at loudly by Ji Jian, who was more in control of himself. Fortunately, he immediately rushed forward and started a struggle with Ji Jian, otherwise he would have died.
Another example is that because Jian Yong couldn't control himself, he took three vacations in the first half of the month after his wedding. He came back from each vacation with dark circles under his eyes.
Later, during the three-monthly physical examination for senior executives of the Liu Group, he was told by a gray-bearded doctor to exercise restraint and not to be too indulgent and empty his body, so he died on the spot.
This kind of social death experience is still very interesting, and it is also a rare and interesting embellishment in the boring and murderous life in the late Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei cherishes such daily life very much, but he also knows that such daily life is just embellishment after all, and his future is destined to be extraordinary and do not have so many beautiful daily lives.
On July 21st of the third year of Guanghe, Liu Bei was invited to the mansion of the prefect of the county. The prefect Han of Zhuojun formally promoted him to Xiaolian in front of all the officials. He also reported it to the Luoyang Central Court and waited for the central court's call.
On the day when Xiaolian was elected, representatives of the Lu family, Han Rong himself, Zhuo County Magistrate Gongsun Zan, and some leading figures from the Liu family of Zhuo County arrived one after another, and together they watched the Liu family have a family again after many years. The birth of Xiaolian.
