Chapter 178 If Liu Shui is a daughter, the old man will take her
"Wenyou, what do you think is a more appropriate reward for Kede?"
After thinking for a while, Dong Zhuo looked up at Li Ru and asked.
Li Ru obviously didn't expect that his father-in-law would put this matter back on him, so he was a little dazed.
However, this was only short-lived. After being stunned for a moment, he nodded to Dong Zhuo and then lowered his head and spun around in small circles.
Dong Zhuo was obviously used to this.
He didn't say anything to urge him, just waited quietly.
"Father-in-law! Got it!"
This kind of waiting lasted for about half an hour. Li Ru, who had been lowering his head in thought and spinning in small circles, suddenly raised his head, looked at Dong Zhuo and spoke loudly.
Dong Zhuo had already been prepared for this, but at this moment, Li Ru suddenly spoke, making him tremble in shock.
Seeing this, Li Ru shrank his neck, not giving his father-in-law a chance to speak, and hurriedly spoke first: "Father-in-law, there is no doubt that Kede is a tiger general. We previously, in order to tie him up,
On the chariot, many methods were used.
In the past, my son-in-law thought that these were enough, but judging from Kede's subsequent performances, these were still not enough.
A person like Ke De is worthy of your father-in-law spending more money to win over him.
Just giving high-ranking officials generous salaries is not enough, because no matter how high the official position you give to your father-in-law, it will not change the fact that he is an outsider...
If you want to bind Kede more tightly and make him more aligned with us, you need to make him your own..."
Li Ru analyzed Dong Zhuo seriously here.
Dong Zhuo nodded repeatedly as he listened, feeling that what Li Ru said made sense.
However, after Li Ru finished speaking, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face again.
"I have long wanted to adopt Kede as my adopted son, but it's a pity that he is the only one in Kede's family. Before his death, his father said those words again..."
Dong Zhuo said this with regret all over his face.
He deeply regretted that he could not adopt Liu Cheng as his adopted son...
Hearing what his father-in-law said, Li Ru had a strong urge to put his hand on his forehead.
Why do you always think about having an adopted son? Can't you think of other ways?
Do you think that you are a fierce general and like to be like Lu Fengxian and recognize people as foster fathers everywhere?
Facing his father-in-law's complaints in his heart, Li Ru smiled and said: "Actually, to make Kede a family, you don't have to recognize him as your foster father. You can also use other methods...
…”
"You mean marriage?"
Dong Zhuo said.
Then he nodded to himself and said: "This is indeed a very good method, but..."
As he spoke, Dong Zhuo once again showed a troubled look on his face: "It's just that Kede doesn't have any close relatives. His only relative is just a younger brother...
...It would be easier if Liu Shui was a girl, I would just keep him, but he is a boy..."
Li Ru, who was standing aside to come up with an idea, was happy that his father-in-law understood what he meant, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
As a result, before the smile on his face could completely dissipate, it was already frozen on his face.
Although Li Ru has been in contact with his father-in-law a lot, he knows that sometimes his father-in-law does not act according to common sense. But at this time, when he heard these words from his father-in-law, he was still confused for a moment.
Completely stunned...
What is all this!
Is this what I meant to express to you?
Before this, Li Ru had never thought that his father-in-law was actually such a person!!
Dong Zhuo, who spoke solemnly, glanced at Li Ru, who was stunned, with a narrow smile on his face: "When you just thought of a way, you shouted so loudly, you scared me."
Jump, now I scare you once, we can be considered even..."
Hearing these words from his father-in-law, Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief.
He had never thought that his father-in-law had such a side, but this retaliation style was in line with his style.
"It's not possible to marry a strong general like Kede, win over him, and make him one of our own. It's not possible for an ordinary woman in the clan to do it. It requires a woman who is very close to me."
I have two daughters in front of me, one is married to you, and the other is married to that stupid cow.
At this time, even if you want to come up with a marriage with Kede, you can't do it...
There were not too many sons, but many died in infancy, and only two reached adulthood.
As a result, one of them was only an adult, and he didn't even have any heirs left, so he died in disgrace.
The other one also died early. Although he did not give birth to a son, he still left some flesh and blood..."
Dong Zhuo became serious and started talking about business.
Although his voice was bold and his words were relatively light, in the end, his desolate meaning was inevitably revealed.
Hearing his father-in-law talking about these things, Li Ru consciously closed his mouth and said nothing...
"Xijun is my sweetheart!"
After a while, Dong Zhuo sighed leisurely and said this.
Li Ru naturally knew who the Xijun he was talking about was his father-in-law's son, the only remaining flesh and blood of his father-in-law, his little daughter named Dong Bai.
"When it comes to family background, Kede is really not good enough. His successor, King Jing of Zhongshan, is too watery to be worth mentioning at all. But Kede's ability is really strong and can cover up all these.
To be honest, with Ke De's age and talents, it is okay to match my younger brother.
I have actually thought about this matter for a long time. Although I think Kede is worthy of Xijun, I still feel reluctant to marry Xijun like this..."
After Dong Zhuo said this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Let this matter wait a little longer and let me think about it carefully..."
After being silent for a while, he said this.
In just a short period of time, Dong Zhuo did something that many people were angry about, but at this time, he also rarely showed tenderness...
Hearing this, Li Ru opened his mouth and wanted to persuade, but in the end he still did not speak.
He followed his father-in-law's wishes, nodded, and stayed here for a while. After seeing that there was nothing else to do, he left here and returned to his residence. First, he sorted out the things he knew today in his mind.
After a while, I started to do new arithmetic problems.
It was at this time that the war horses galloping all the way from Mengjin Ferry arrived at Luoyang City again...
