Chapter 190 Dong Zhuo: With my grandfather here, why can't I avoid it?!
Logically speaking, in Luoyang today, the person with the most power and the highest status should be the young emperor Liu Xie.
After all, he is the emperor of this great man and the recognized master of the world.
According to the trend of welcoming Liu Cheng arranged by Dong Zhuo, after what happened to Dong Zhuo at the south gate of Luoyang, there should be a scene of welcoming the little emperor in Luoyang City.
But the fact is that after experiencing Dong Zhuo, the welcoming ceremony for Liu Cheng came to an abrupt end.
The Little Emperor, as well as things or people representing the identity of the Little Emperor, did not appear.
Regarding this situation, Liu Cheng just thought about it in his heart and did not ask anything out loud.
After all, he didn't understand anything about such a thing and didn't dare to ask anything...
…
When Dong Zhuo was outside the south gate of Luoyang, he accepted the gift brought by Liu Cheng and also promised the marriage between Liu Cheng and his granddaughter Dong Bai in public, which was particularly heroic.
However, Dong Zhuo was still not so hasty.
After returning to Luoyang City with Liu Cheng, he still called Liu Cheng, some other relatives, and famous ministers of the court to his residence. Everyone gathered together, had a very grand meal, and
During the meal, some necessary etiquette was performed and necessary formalities were made.
Liu Cheng didn't need to worry about these things, Dong Zhuo had already arranged them in advance.
He only needs to follow the instructions and suggestions from people who understand etiquette and do it step by step.
From these aspects, it can be seen that Dong Zhuo was really very fond of Liu Cheng, his grandson-in-law.
However, this feeling that everything had been arranged by the woman and that he did not need to prepare anything brought some very strange feelings to Liu Cheng.
It always made him feel like he was going to be his son-in-law, a glorious freeloader.
This feeling was very strong and lingered with him, unable to go away.
However, when I think of the novels in the series of son-in-laws that I read in later generations, each of the bride-in-laws is a powerful and powerful being, and they are all scorned, and Liu Chengxin feels more relieved.
But this relief did not last long, because he soon remembered that this era was the Han Dynasty, and the status of a son-in-law was basically the same as a slave.
In peacetime, if a war breaks out, most of the sons-in-law, slaves, prisoners, etc. will be sent to guard the border and serve as cannon fodder...
Liu Cheng felt a little disappointed with this engagement, mainly because it was too complicated.
There are too many places to pay attention to.
After a lot of hard work, I finally got it done.
As a result, all the procedures that need to be followed have been completed, and everything that needs to be done has been done. However, Liu Cheng did not even meet the other protagonist of this banquet and etiquette, Dong Bai, who had already made a marriage contract with him.
At a glance.
If Liu Cheng hadn't met Dong Bai once by chance at Dong Zhuo's house before, he still wouldn't know what Dong Bai looked like.
When the time comes to get married, I don’t even know if I’ve been replaced by someone else…
"... It is hard work for the Prime Minister to be busy. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
After the engagement ceremony was over and all the other guests had been sent away, Liu Cheng saluted Dong Zhuo and said goodbye.
Since the last time he led his troops to leave Luoyang, this is the first time he has returned to Luoyang City.
Moreover, he has to rush to Bishui Pass next. He can only stay here in Luoyang for three days at most. There are still many things to do, and time is very tight.
Therefore, after seeing that things were almost done, Liu Chenggong began to bid farewell to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo, whose face was full of smiles, immediately put away the smile after hearing what Liu Cheng said and turned to Liu Cheng with a serious face.
After Liu Cheng saw the rapid change in the expression on Dong Zhuo's face, a deep sense of shame suddenly arose in his heart.
"Yes, it's my grandfather..."
Liu Cheng held back his shame and spoke.
After his grandfather shouted this, Liu Cheng felt that his heart was filled with shame, and he had the urge to find a place to hide in.
Dong Zhuo, who had a serious face, was very relieved after hearing Liu Cheng call him "grandfather". The smile that disappeared suddenly reappeared, and it was even better than before.
An already fat face was squeezed together because of this smile, and the eyes were no longer visible.
"That's right!
From now on, we will be a family, and we will still be like outsiders, shouting to each other one after another, "How many lives are there, so that my grandfather can listen more comfortably."
If I can find a good husband like you, Kede, for Xijun, I will be able to rest assured in the future.
After all, Xijun's daughter is different from others. Others have a father, but he only has a grandfather.
How could my grandfather spend as much time with him as his father?
To be honest, even a father can't spend a long time without his husband, after all, there is a age difference..."
I don't know if it was because after this incident, he successfully pushed Liu Cheng's seniority down two generations. From the seniority of Liu Cheng, the emperor's uncle, he directly became the great-grandfather of today's emperor and he was in a good mood.
Or because he had found a home for his granddaughter today, and he had a lot of emotions in his heart, Dong Zhuo's words seemed much louder than before...
Dong Zhuo was quite shameless. After tricking Liu Cheng into calling him his grandfather, he did not let Liu Cheng leave before saying goodbye. Instead, he took Liu Cheng to the backyard with a smile on his face.
"Go and summon Xijun and ask her to come and meet her future husband."
After arriving at the backyard, Dong Zhuo directly gave these instructions.
The people on the side couldn't help being surprised when they heard this, and said hesitantly and embarrassedly: "Young Jun just got engaged to the emperor's uncle today, so at this time, you should avoid suspicion..."
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but frowned: "These complicated etiquette are not necessary. I was born as a martial artist, and there are no great scholars in the Dong family, so there is no need to pay too much attention to them.
Once we are engaged, we are a family, what is there not to see?
We met earlier, and we have a good understanding of each other, and have an impression of each other, which is relatively good.
As for avoiding suspicion...
With me as a grandfather here, what can't you avoid?"
After hearing this, the man stopped talking and immediately went to arrange for Dong Bai and Liu Cheng to meet.
Looking at Dong Zhuo with an upright face, and then listening to Dong Zhuo's last words, Liu Cheng, who had always maintained a humble smile on his face, his face twitched slightly, and he felt strange in his heart.
How come such a scene is so similar?
It seems that a few months ago, someone also said this and held this attitude...
Then, he had been his father-in-law for a long time without knowing it...
Now someone is saying this again...
He turned his attention to Dong Zhuo, who was smiling happily...
