Zhang Xiu was extremely thick-skinned and laughed: "Zi Zhong. Do you know that I have illness?"

Everyone here was stunned. Even Ma Chao had read books for so many years and understood this meaning.

This is when Mencius met King Xuan of Qi. King Xuan of Qi said, "I am sick and lustful."

I'm sick and lustful.

Just now, Zhang Xiu was decisive and dared to appoint talents. He immediately appointed Chen Deng as the governor of Xuzhou and the general of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the siege of the

Now Zhang Xiu changed his mind and said that he was sick, which made everyone present completely confused. However, some people were quick to turn their minds and understood Zhang Xiu's temper.

Xi Zhicai looked at Zhang Xiu helplessly first, then turned his head to look at Mi Zhu. There must be a beauty in Mr. Zi Zhong's home.

As the saying goes, can alcoholics still walk when they smell the aroma of wine?

Mi Zhu really didn't know what Zhang Xiu meant, and was afraid that somewhere would offend Zhang Xiu. He bowed his hand tremblingly and said, "Report to Gong Ming, the lower official will know about it."

"I heard that there is a daughter in your family, and I am eighteen years old. I want to hire him for 5,000 pieces of silk. I wonder what Zi Zhong wants to do?" Zhang Xiu asked with a lewd and open-minded question.

"Oh." Xi Zhicai sighed lightly, closed his eyes slightly, it was indeed the case.

Chen Deng and Ma Chao looked at Zhang Xiu in surprise. Now the enemy is in front of him, is it time to talk about this issue?

This Grand Sima...

Chen Deng glanced at Mi Zhu again. He had seen Mi before. He was indeed the best-looking man and woman in the Mi family were both good-looking.

Then he couldn't help but think. "The Mi family may become successful because of their daughter."

Everyone has their own experiences. He is talented and has a strategy, hoping to show his ambitions and leave his name in history. Mi Zhu has a sister, and his future official position may not be worse than him.

This is life...

Ma Chao looked envious. Their Ma family was a surrendered bandit and dreamed of gaining Zhang Xiu's trust. It's a pity that the Ma family does not have the beautiful Shao Ai.

Everyone understood what was going on, and didn't think Mi Zhu would refuse.

Mi Zhu hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said sincerely to Zhang Xiu: "Thank you for your kindness. But I only have one sister in my family. I can make the decision for my brother. But I want to hear my sister's opinions, so I can't reply to Ming Gong immediately. Please forgive me."

Everyone, including Zhang Xiu, was stunned. This guy actually had the courage to shirke it?

Chen Deng, Ma Chao, and Xi Zhicai couldn't help but look up at Mi Zhu. This person seemed gentle, but in fact he was quite strong inside.

Zhang Xiu was a little disappointed, but he was not angry. Mi Zhu was not Cai Mao. This person abandoned his family business in history and followed Liu Bei to deal with him until Liu Bei finally achieved hegemony. He was favored by Liu Bei, even surpassing Zhuge Liang.

This requires courage.

"Okay." Zhang Xiu nodded with a smile. However, he was sure of this matter. He had a reason that Mi Zhu would not refuse, or even a reason that he could not refuse.

Mi Zhu exhaled, sweat was already seen on his forehead, and his heart was trembling. It was really not easy to refuse Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu came to Shangshutai, and these are just two things.

Not long after, he sent everyone away and took Dian Wei and Ma Dai together to return to his Grand Sima Mansion.

Mi Zhu and Chen Deng took their entourage and rode their horses back. The two of them had houses in Luoyang City, and the distance was very close.

Chen Deng glanced at Mi Zhu, sighed, but said nothing. Mi Zhu's face was very serious and worried.

Not long after, the two said goodbye. Mi Zhu turned over and got off the horse, and came up from the gatehouse to lead the horse. After Mi Zhu entered the house, he immediately went to the central hall to sit down and ordered the maid to find Mi.

Mi’s family is here soon.

"Brother, you were in a hurry to find me as soon as you came back. Is there anything important?" Mi Shi looked gentle, but she was very happy. She first asked Mi Zhu Yili for a blunt question, then knelt down and said.

Although the Mi family is a merchant family, the family tutoring is very strict. She sits upright and has the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

Mi Zhu glanced at his sister, sighed, and stopped talking again and again.

"Brother said something, why are mother-in-law and mother?" Mi said coquettishly.

Mi Zhu sighed again, then said, "Sister, Grand Sima wants to take you as his concubine."

This is the fundamental reason. Although the Mi family is a family of merchants, they have gradually evolved into the gentry, and they have to be decent.

Moreover, even in merchant families, few people marry their daughters or sisters to others as concubines.

If you take a step back ten thousand steps, you will be a concubine. There are too many concubines in Zhang Xiu’s Grand Sima Mansion, and there are probably more than a hundred people. There are so many concubines, so there must be more monks and less porridge.

Mi Zhu had long heard that Zhang Xiu was lustful, but today I really experienced it.

He and Zhang Xiu had just met, so how could they ask if you would marry your sister to me as a concubine?

Mi was stunned, lowered his head and thought about it carefully, then raised his head and looked at Mi Zhu seriously, and said, "Brother, I am already eighteen years old and old. Zhang Dasima is in charge of the government and is indescribable. With mere me, I can win the favor of the Grand Sima and benefit the Mi family, why not do it?"

Mi Zhu was stunned. This was what the businessman said. He raised his head and looked at his sister's face carefully, and found that he had the courage to move forward for the family.

He sighed softly, reached out to wipe the tears at the corners of his eyes.

"Why."

The next day, the weather was clear and the spring was in full swing.

Inside the Grand Sima Mansion.

Cai Mao was summoned and walked along the corridor to the study room. On the way, he met Mi Zhu. Both of them knew each other, but they felt a little strange when they met.

Cai Mao stopped first and bowed to Mi Zhu. Mi Zhu had a subtle expression and was also based on returning the favor to the other party, before walking past Cai Mao.

Cai Mao turned around and looked at Mi Zhu, slightly anxious. As time passed, his sister gradually grew older, although the children had given birth to one after another.

but......

"Although I am a relative of the Grand Sima, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the previous waves, and the previous waves died on the beach. The Grand Sima is in full swing and the future is still growing. No, I have to think of a way, so I can't let Mi Zhu overwhelm me." Cai Mao was anxious and thought of a plan. After taking a deep breath, he walked towards the study.

After entering the study room, he saw Zhang Xiu sitting upright on the main seat.

"Ming Gong." Cai Mao respectfully stepped forward a few steps and bowed to the end.

"Degui." Zhang Xiu was in a good mood and even said that he was happy. He got what he wanted and what he wanted. He looked up at Cai Mao, then said after saying, "You go and get five thousand pieces of silk as a betrothal gift to go to Mi Zhu's mansion. Hire Me for me."

Zhang Xiu was the Grand Sima, but he did not dare to take the money from the treasury as his betrothal gift, otherwise he would be in chaos. However, his family is in Luoyang and Chang'an, with countless industries and no shortage of wealth.

"No." Cai Mao turned his promise, but did not leave.

"Degui, is there any problem?" Zhang Xiu couldn't help but say something strange when he saw Cai Mao still.

Cai Mao looked around and saw that there was no one, and came outside the study again. He ordered Ma Dai, who was guarding the door, to say, "Take the guard away."

Ma Dai glanced at Cai Mao, then poked out the tiger's head and looked at Zhang Xiu in the room. Zhang Xiu was strangely broken, what was shameful?

Cai Mao would not play assassination unless he was brain dead. Zhang Xiu didn't think much about it and waved his hand.

Only then did Ma Dai walk away with his personal soldiers and guards, and guard it for Cai Mao.

Cai Mao took a deep breath, turned back to the room, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed deeply to Zhang Xiu, and said sincerely: "Ming Gong. My family has a daughter, twelve years old and has a national beauty. I wish to dedicate it to Ming Gong."

Zhang Xiu was completely stunned, her mouth wide, her eyes rounded, and she was stunned.

Not long after, Cai Mao left the study with a happy look on his face, walking with wind and fluttering sleeves.

In the study, Zhang Xiu laughed and shook his head, saying to himself: "I didn't expect that the Cai family of the big and small is really gathered together."

Zhang Xiu actually had no idea about Xiao Cai.

That will make seniority too messy.

But since Cai Mao took the initiative to offer his daughter, can't the fat meat in his mouth be pushed out?

That won't work, I can't give it to my daughter.

Actually, it doesn’t matter. In ancient times, royal relations were originally chaotic. If the emperor lived a longer life, the relationship would be even more chaotic.

And sooner or later he will turn his family into a country.

Zhang Xiu's eyes showed a brilliant light, which was extremely sharp, as if invincible.

The matter soon spread. Zhang Xiu took Cai Mao as the main commander and divided the silk into two pieces. One was hired by the daughter of the Cai family and the other was hired by the daughter of the Mi family.

There was no turmoil in the government and the country.

Everyone in the world knows that Zhang Xiu is lustful, "I am sick." Wherever Zhang Xiu beat him, his concubine will receive him. Now he has returned to his loyal Luoyang, so how could he not raise his sickle and harvest a wave of leeks?

As long as Zhang Xiu does not delay the main work, it doesn’t matter whether he takes ten concubines or one hundred concubines.

And Zhang Xiu did indeed do serious things.

Zhang Xiu led Dian Wei, Ma Dai, Wei Nan, and Wei Nan's great counselors, and 10,000 personal soldiers to Ziwu Valley and arrived in Luoyang first. Later, Fan Chou, Hu Zhen, Gao Shun and other generals led tens of thousands of infantry and returned to Luoyang one after another.

In addition, Zhang Xiu appointed Chen Deng and Ma Chao as the general and trained 20,000 soldiers.

Especially Ma Chao. This man is brave and good at fighting, and has a reputation as a great general. Although it is cold outside the house and the war is endless, the charcoal fire in the house is strong, not only is it not cold, but it becomes hot.

All the government and the country were looking forward to Zhang Xiu's success while the horse's hooves were fast.

That morning.

All the personal soldiers in the Grand Sima Mansion were dispatched to send chariots and horses to welcome the two new ladies into the mansion. The scale was huge and caused a sensation in the entire Luoyang.

People were in a state of congestion, causing traffic congestion in Luoyang. However, they did not think there was anything wrong, but instead sent blessings.

It would be great that the Grand Sima came back to take a concubine.

If the Grand Sima is not here, that is the end.
To be continued...
