At a banquet, no one was drunk.
Although Ding Yuan is old, he is still a general who has understood the spirit of war. He is just tipsy after drinking several horses.
Under the escort of several personal guards, he returned to the bedroom and was about to go to sleep when he saw someone wandering in the corridor outside the house, and the figure was very familiar.
"Just step back."
"promise."
Hearing this, the maidservants who were in charge of serving at the side bowed and left. As for the guards, after escorting the master back to his room, they did not dare to stay in the back house and left directly.
When he was the only one left in the room, Ding Yuan sat sideways on the bed, rubbing his temples, pretending to be old and too drunk.
Frankly speaking, he was indeed a little afraid of his only daughter.
He just mentioned that incident to her some time ago, and since then, he has stopped talking to her. But now that he suddenly appears outside the door, he may cause some trouble again.
However, after a slight hesitation, Ding Yuan frowned and sighed: "It's so late, what's the matter?"
There was a hint of concern in his voice.
Not going to rest at night and having to endure the severe cold, this border official who was entrenched in Bingzhou knew that his daughter must have some resentment in her heart.
Not long after, there was a slight knock on the door.
After a few layers of curtains, after walking around for a moment, a pretty figure appeared in front of me.
Ding Yuan, who was lying on his side on the bed, pretending to be drunk, immediately sat up straight after seeing his daughter.
At this moment, Ding Qinyu's face was full of tears, as if he had suffered a huge grievance. He just stood there, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
"Who is bullying my daughter!"
Ding Yuan was furious and jumped to the ground with his bare feet. He didn't look old-fashioned at all. He just waited to hear the name and went to kill him.
The rise from humble beginnings depends not only on oneself, but also on one's wife.
At that time, he came from a poor family and was selected as a minor official because he was literate. Later, when bandits looted the county town and the Huns invaded the border, he personally committed a crime and rushed to the front to pursue the bandits. Relying on his courage and fearlessness, he He reluctantly changed his fate and became a small official with hundreds of stones.
If his wife hadn't ignored family opinions and married him, how could she be as glorious as she is today?
Because of this, after the death of his wife, he became the king of the state and wielded great power. He still had no intention of renewing his relationship and only hoped that his only daughter could marry a good man.
Now, Ding Qinyu is crying like this, and Ding Yuan wishes he could take his place instead——
At this moment, he was looking around for weapons.
There are only a few maidservants in the back house, plus at most the guards who come in to deliver news.
Enter slave.
Let's not talk about the king's law first, but this one, it doesn't matter if he kills someone.
Unfortunately, his beloved daughter just kept sobbing without saying anything, which made Ding Yuan anxious and kept wandering around.
After waiting for a long time, the sound of self-blame sounded.
"My daughter doesn't want to marry Fengxian?"
"That was just a drunken joke and should not be taken seriously. From now on, you will make the decision on your marriage. As a father, you only have two requirements. Find a husband who is capable and has a good family reputation."
After saying this, Ding Yuan suddenly had a thought: Could it be that his daughter was deceived by some heartless man?
Absolutely impossible!
As soon as the idea emerged, it was immediately rejected.
No matter how few rules there are in the Ding Mansion, there will never be a female family member meeting a man alone.
Unable to guess the answer, Ding Yuan simply picked up the ring-shou knife hanging on the wall and prepared to go out to find a few maids and ask them what happened recently.
Upon seeing this, Ding Qinyu immediately stopped crying and held back the man who wanted to kill him.
The father hesitated and said: "Aweng..."
At this time, Ding Yuan stopped and saw that things were turning around. He pressed the knot in his heart and said warmly: "My son, don't cry. As a father, I will not let you suffer any injustice."
You know, he only has one daughter at his knees. Although his adopted son is brave and invincible and very filial, his own blood is never flowing in his bones.
Therefore, comparing the two, Ding Qinyu is better after all.
In this way, in the comfort of his loving father, Ding Qinyu told everything that happened in the backyard.
At this moment, Lu Li, who was thinking about the future in the bedroom, suddenly shuddered and a chill ran down his spine.
In fact, he hadn't felt this kind of whim for a long time, and his heart instantly rose to alert.
Who wants to harm me?
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao are my brothers, and Bingzhou Biejia Ding is my lord...
Since returning to the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Lu Li has prided himself on being friendly to others. Apart from killing Pei Yuanshao, capturing Meng Liang, and having conflicts with the Yellow Turban Army, Lu Li has not had any interactions with other forces.
But, can the Yellow Turban Thief threaten me now? It is still possible that the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao will be resurrected.
Could it be the Huns and Zahu from the north?
For a moment, Lu Li was completely sleepless, tossing and turning on the bed, making random guesses.
Because, at his level, he would not have a whim for no reason. There must be some unknown good or bad event happening.
the other side.
Ding Yuan sat back on the bed, holding a large sword with a ring on his head. His expression was very strange. He glanced at his side from time to time and sighed, with an angry attitude.
Lu Li, who didn't know the truth, should be grateful to Ding Qinyu. She knew she was in the wrong and didn't mess around, let alone make up stories.
"You didn't even tell me the name, so you invited someone to the back garden?"
"Well, the general probably thought that Aweng was looking for him, so he wasn't suspicious."
Even now, Ding Qinyu is still defending Lu Li, for fear that he will be blamed by his father.
In fact, after figuring out the whole story, Ding Yuan's doubts were gone. Instead, he was very angry at his daughter's various behaviors. He pointed at her and reprimanded: "Meng Ming went through danger and blood, crossed Pingtao and Wenshui, led his followers Come and seek refuge with me, this is loyalty!"
"you……"
Looking at his daughter's red eyes, Ding Yuan swallowed back the next words and let out a sigh.
"Fortunately, Fengxian and Meng Ming were generous enough to take care of their father's face at the banquet and never cared about it, otherwise..."
Clang.
The ring-shou knife fell to the ground. Ding Yuan lowered his head and pinched his eyebrows. When he thought of himself taking advantage of the drunkenness, waving and spinning, he wished he could go back in time and chop himself to death.
What a gaffe!
The only good thing is that the two did not have any bad feelings because of this, but became brothers.
After thinking this, Ding Yuan shook his head, as if to comfort himself, and whispered: "That's all, we are all family members, there is no need to act like a child."
At this time, Ding Qinyu, who was sitting next to him, was very happy. Lu Fengxian was his father's adopted son. Where was the young general?
"Aweng..."
Before she could finish her words, Ding Yuan stood up, his voice full of exhaustion: "Go and have a rest. Don't do this in the future."
"By the way, during the days when your father is away at war, you should read more books and stop using allusions."
"Then, what should we do about the marriage?"
Ding Qinyu grabbed Ding Yuan's sleeves and said softly, "My daughter only recognizes him."
"Let's go, let's go."
Seeing his father smiling when he spoke, Ding Qinyu understood immediately, stopped pestering him, and resigned obediently.
