Chapter 456 Cai Yan: The concubine thinks she is greedy for her husband's body
Chapter 456 Cai Yan: I think she is coveting her husband’s body
It was almost in the evening when Liu Cheng learned that Lu Bu's wife Yan had come to Yushan with her daughter Lu Lingqi.
This is because it was not until evening that the few people who soaked in the hot springs together returned from the hot springs tired.
After learning the news, Liu Cheng couldn't help being stunned.
He really didn't expect that Yan would lead his daughter to Yushan.
This was completely beyond his expectation.
After all, if we really count, Lu Bu died not so much in Huang Zhong's hands, but more than half of his death in his own hands.
Historically, Wang Yun and Lu Bu jointly assassinated Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo died and the two men were completely victorious.
But now, the grass on the graves of Wang Yun and Lu Bu has grown a lot and turned yellow.
As a result, Lu Bu's late wife and daughter came here to seek refuge with him.
How can such a thing not surprise him?
Liu Cheng knew a little about the Yan family.
The main understanding is all recorded in the novel.
One is Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou. After Jia Xu started the rebellion, they attacked Chang'an and Lu Bu was defeated and left.
Even his wife Yan, his youngest daughter, and Caina's concubine Diao Chan ran away in a panic before they had time to take them away.
The other is that when he was besieged by Cao Cao, Lu Bu was exhausted by wine and sex. Chen Gong and Lu Bu made a plan to let Lu Bu break out of the siege. However, it turned out that due to Yan's reasons, Chen Gong's plan was not followed, which ultimately led to the Baimen Tower.
Death.
From then on, there was no mention of the whereabouts of Yan Diao Chan and others.
But you can imagine where it will go.
When the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs?
Lu Bu is already dead, how can we, as Lu Bu's wife and daughter, live well?
Not to mention, there is a wife-like Cao Cao there...
From the records in the novel, it is easy to have some ill feelings towards Yan.
After all, Lu Bu's series of wrong decisions when he was about to die were basically all made by her.
Liu Cheng did think so when he read about the Three Kingdoms in later generations.
However, after coming to this world and experiencing so many things, Liu Cheng looked at this matter again and had many different views.
A commander, a leader, can play a decisive role in military operations and other operations, because he has decision-making power.
Once you become a leader, you need to take on corresponding responsibilities.
At the last moment, Lu Bu listened to Yan in everything. Does this mean that Yan misunderstood Lu Bu?
From Liu Cheng's point of view, this is impossible, which only shows that Lu Bu is really incompetent.
As a leader, he should have his own judgment and decision-making ability on matters.
As a result, everyone heard that Yan had little contact with foreign affairs, and knew nothing about marches, wars, or the general trend of the world...
In the last period of time, rather than saying that Lu Bu listened to Yan in everything, it was better to say that Lu Bu himself had been abused to the point where he had no confidence.
It was just Yan who expressed Lu Bu's thoughts through his own words.
This is actually the same as history always likes to place a woman next to the king of a subjugated country who brings disaster to the country and the people, and then puts most of the blame for the subjugation of the country on the woman.
For example, King Zhou's Daji, King Zhou You's Bao Si, Li Longji's Yang Yuhuan...
This is unreasonable.
Liu Cheng stood here, these thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and he kept opening the two letters in his hands to read.
These two letters were brought by Yan and given to Zhao Yun, who forwarded them to Liu Cheng.
There are two letters, one written by Gao Shun and the other written by Cheng Lian.
The words in the letters are different, but the content is similar.
The general meaning is that the Yan family and the others have sensitive identities and are different from ordinary people. The situation in Chang'an is also turbulent, making it unsafe for them to live in Chang'an.
"Husband, do you want to go and meet this Yan family?"
After Cai Yan waited for a while, he asked Liu Cheng.
Upon hearing this, Liu Cheng put away the two letters and said with a smile: "Of course I want to see you.
The two ladies are going with Chan'er, and I want to meet you too.
No matter what, Su Qing and the others have to face each other."
Liu Cheng opened his mouth and set the tone for this matter.
Lu Bu was already dead, and his main generals were either dead or surrendered.
There is only Yan's orphaned daughter and widowed mother left, so there is nothing to worry about.
Not to mention, Gao Shuncheng and Lian were behind this matter.
Cai Yan and the other three nodded when they heard this and immediately packed up.
They had just learned through the maids in the mansion that Mrs. Yan, whose husband had died, was very pretty.
Naturally, they had to dress up carefully to avoid being outdone by Mr. Yan.
Liu Cheng felt that this was unnecessary, as his three women would look good no matter what they wore.
But Cai Yan and the others don't think so.
Seeing the three people dressing up here and there, and discussing with each other from time to time, Liu Cheng couldn't help but smile, and could only leave it to the three of them on this matter.
At this time, Liu Cheng ordered the cook at home to cook a rich meal for two more people.
After waiting for a while, the three girls finally finished dressing up.
Liu Cheng felt that they had spent enough time dressing up. After dressing up, they were even more beautiful and attractive, but they still felt that it was a bit hasty and many things were not done yet.
Well, when it comes to dressing up, it’s easy for men and women to not be on the same page...
Liu Cheng and his three daughters met Yan's mother and daughter in the living room.
"The widow, Mrs. Yan, has met the emperor's uncle and his wife."
Sitting in the room with the stove burning and waiting, Mrs. Yan looked uneasy. When she saw Liu Cheng and his party coming, she immediately stood up and took her daughter two steps forward to greet Liu Cheng and his party.
Ms. Yan was sitting there. When Liu Cheng looked over at first glance, he felt that she was not short. Standing up at this moment further confirmed Liu Cheng's idea.
Yan's height is definitely over 1.75 meters tall.
She is taller than Dong Bai, the tallest among the three girls.
The legs look slender and strong.
Even though he was wearing winter clothes, he could not hide his erect upper body.
The face is also very good-looking.
Although he is slightly inferior to Diao Chan and others, he has a mature charm that they don't have.
Especially when she was wearing a mourning dress, it made her look even more pretty and helpless.
Lu Lingqi, who was standing next to her, was tall and taller than most children of the same age.
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, there is no need to be polite..."
After Liu Cheng spoke, Cai Yan and Dong Bai also came forward to talk to Yan.
Especially Cai Yan, who held Yan's hand and looked very cordial.
Yan, who seemed very nervous at first, suddenly relaxed...
Yan is a female family member, so she naturally wants the hostess to entertain her more.
The head of the family, Liu Cheng, came out to show how much he valued the Yan family. Of course, the most important thing was to show how much he valued Cheng Lian, Gao Shun, and the Liangzhou soldiers they led.
While Cai Yan, Dong Bai and Yan were talking, Liu Chenggong focused his attention on the girl next to Yan.
The girl is very good-looking, with some heroic spirit between her eyebrows.
Although she hasn't grown up yet, she can already tell that she will be a beauty when she grows up.
"You are Brother Feng's daughter, right? There is a hint of Brother Feng's heroic spirit in your eyebrows. What is your name?"
Liu Cheng looked at Lu Lingqi, bent down a little, and asked with a smile.
Smile gently.
The girl saluted Liu Cheng, then nodded and said, "My name is Lu Lingqi."
Liu Chengdao: "Lingqi, how old are you? Are you ten years old?"
Lu Lingqi said: "I am eight years old this year."
Liu Cheng was stunned when he heard this. He has grown so tall at the age of eight?
It looks almost ten years old.
Thinking of Lu Bu's height and glancing at Yan standing next to him, Liu Chengxin felt relieved.
Liu Cheng reached out and took off the jade pendant he was wearing on his waist, handed it to Lu Lingqi, and said with a smile: "When we first met, I didn't have anything good to give to Lingqi as a meeting gift. This is the jade pendant I was wearing, so I gave it to Lingqi."
Qi is ready."
Liu Cheng didn't like wearing jade pendants in the past because he thought it would be a hindrance.
But later, I slowly changed my mind.
Of course it's not for the fact that Mo Shanren is like jade and the young master is unparalleled in the world.
Instead, wear some jade pendants on your body, which is easier to give away.
Just like now, when Liu Cheng saw Yan's mother and daughter recommended by Gao Shun and Cheng Lian, Liu Cheng, from the perspective of uncles, naturally wanted to give something to show his closeness.
Then, it would be more cordial to just take off the jade pendant you are wearing.
After all, in the eyes of others, this jade pendant was worn by Liu Cheng himself.
What was released from him was naturally not ordinary.
And if you give something close to someone as a gift, it will feel different compared to ordinary things.
Liu Cheng originally thought that Lu Lingqi would accept the jade pendant he gave her like others.
But what she did next was somewhat beyond Liu Cheng's expectations.
After Lu Lingqi thanked Liu Cheng, she did not reach out to take the jade pendant handed over by Liu Cheng. Instead, she looked at Liu Cheng's left waist and said, "Uncle, I want... I want that knife."
This knife became famous along with Liu Cheng as the pig-killing knife.
Hearing this, Liu Cheng smiled and said: "You are a girl, but you are not good at fighting and killing. Why do you want a knife?"
Lu Lingqi blinked and said, "I want to learn martial arts and become a heroine who leads troops, just like someone like Fuhao."
Said, she glanced at her mother secretly, lowered her voice and said to Liu Cheng: "I, I can't always learn these things when studying female celebrities. I always feel that these are not as smooth as swords and guns..."
This is actually a man who doesn't like red clothes and loves armed weapons.
This shows that Lu Bu's genes are still very strong.
Thinking this in his heart, Liu Cheng said: "Your idea is not bad, there are indeed some heroines.
However, I cannot give you the knife in my waist.
This knife is not an expensive knife, it is just a butcher's knife used to kill pigs in the countryside.
However, it has witnessed my growth.
In addition to killing pigs, this sword has also killed Cao Cao, Huang Gai and many other famous generals. I will use it to kill more people in the future.
However, if you really like knives, I can get you another one."
Hearing Liu Cheng say these words, young Lu Lingqi's eyes shone with excitement.
Yan heard the conversation between Lu Lingqi and Liu Cheng, reached out and patted her daughter lightly on the head, and said somewhat reproachfully: "You are a girl, and you only know how to wield swords and guns."
After saying that, he quickly saluted Liu Cheng and said with some apology: "Uncle, please forgive me. The child is ignorant and lacks discipline..."
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be like this. I think Lingqi has a very good character and is like her father.
Brother Feng is a hero, and Lingqi is his daughter, so it is normal for her to have such a demeanor."
Saying this, he asked Yan, Lu Lingqi and others to stay here for a while, while Cai Yan and others chatted with them.
Liu Cheng left here and returned to his room. After a while, he came back again, holding a knife with a scabbard inlaid with gems in his hand.
The knife was a short sword, but it was about three inches longer than the sheathed butcher knife on Liu Cheng's waist.
"This is a short sword that I captured from the treasury of the rebel Liu Yan after I went to Yizhou to annihilate the traitor Liu Yan.
I don't know the name of the knife itself.
But it was well made, and when you pull it out, it looks like a puddle of autumn water, so I named it Autumn Water.
Since you are an old friend, and you don’t like red makeup and prefer armed weapons, then I will give you this Qiu Shui dagger, which can be regarded as a meeting gift for you as an elder."
As Liu Cheng spoke, he took out the sword from its scabbard. It was well-made, and the blade was indeed like a pool of autumn water.
Immediately, she sheathed the sword and handed it to Lu Lingqi's hand along with the jade pendant.
"I'll give you this jade pendant too. It's not worth much."
When a person comes to you with a child, and you get something for the child, the effect is much better than getting something of the same value for an adult.
Liu Cheng obviously knew this truth.
He also did it very skillfully.
"Uncle, I can't use it...this thing is too valuable..."
Ms. Yan looked a little nervous and embarrassed and tried to evade.
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "It's just an inconspicuous gadget."
The little girl Lu Lingqi is much neater than her mother Yan, and has already received two things in her hands.
It’s like visiting relatives during the New Year, and the relatives give New Year’s money, and the parents desperately refuse, but the more honest children have already received the New Year’s money and put it in their pockets...
A few people sat here and talked for a while, and then someone came to inform them that dinner was ready.
When Liu Cheng heard this, he smiled and said hello:
"Let's go. It's getting late. It's time to finish dinner. Today, Mrs. Sister-in-law is here with Lingqi. I also want to enter into the friendship of landlords here."
Cai Yan held Yan's hand and said something with a smile, while Dong Bai held Lu Lingqi's hand.
The group of people headed towards the dining room under the leadership of Liu Cheng...
After arriving at the dining room, Mrs. Yan couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the furnishings inside.
It's not that the dining room is so luxurious, this dining place is not as good as her house in Chang'an.
The reason why she seemed surprised was because the inside of the dining room was different from what she had imagined.
There is only one large long table here.
Six chairs were placed around the table, one at each end and two on each side.
The table was filled with food, and as soon as I walked in, all kinds of aromas hit my nose.
Apart from this one table, there is no other table or food.
It was very different from what she thought of eating at a separate table.
"This is the rule in our family. We all eat at the same table. My husband said that this way it will be lively and without too much trouble, so we can divide the same dish into several portions..."
Cai Yan saw Yan's surprise and immediately smiled and explained.
And asked Yan to take a seat.
"Let's eat. We don't have too many rules here."
After everyone sat down, Liu Cheng, who was sitting on the main seat, picked up his chopsticks and greeted everyone.
Of course, the main ones to greet are Yan and Lu Lingqi, after all, they are guests.
Following Liu Cheng's greeting, Yan and Lu Lingqi began this novel meal for them.
After eating for a while, Liu Cheng said: "Brother Feng is older than me, and he came to my grandfather's place before me.
I admire Brother Feng's martial arts skills very much.
Brother Feng was very angry with me because I got up quickly and pushed him down. I know this.
This is considered normal.
But I really didn't expect that he would actually do something like that with Wang Yun.
After doing something like this, even if I wanted to save him, there was nothing I could do to save him.
Moreover, I am still in Yizhou, there is no way to save...
The past is over. What I said to Mrs. Sister-in-law is that Mrs. Sister-in-law will just take Lingqi to live here. I will not be indifferent to Mrs. Sister-in-law and Lingqi because of some unpleasantness between me and Brother Fengxian.
.
I, Liu Cheng, am not that stingy person.
What's more, Madam-in-law, you came here with letters from Su Qing and the others..."
Liu Cheng's words were very beautiful. He showed the dignity he should have and gained both face and face.
Mrs. Yan couldn't help but take Lu Lingqi, who was concentrating on the braised pork there, and a piece of braised pork was just put into her mouth before she could chew it. She left the table and bowed respectfully to Liu Cheng...
After dinner, Liu Cheng left first.
Cai Yan and Dong Bai are here to accompany and talk.
Diao Chan ordered people to clean up a room so that Yan's mother and daughter could live...
After a lot of work, I finally settled down.
At night, in the room with candlelight, Lu Lingqi did not fall asleep. The little girl held the Qiu Shui dagger in her hand and kept playing with it and looking at it, unable to put it down.
Yan took off her coat and got under the quilt.
Thinking back on what happened after arriving in Yushan today, especially what happened after meeting Uncle Liu Huang, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
No more anxiety.
But when she thought of the purpose of her visit this time, she became uneasy again.
Frankly speaking, Uncle Liu Huang is indeed an extremely outstanding person, capable, polite, natural and just right in his dealings with others.
To be honest, her late husband Lu Bu is really not comparable.
Especially the way he treated the two ladies Dong Bai and Cai Yan, as well as his concubine Diao Chan, he was really nice and showed respect from the bottom of his heart.
It’s not like many men in this era, who regard their status as high and far above women...
Thinking like this, Yan's heart became even more uneasy.
Uncle Liu's two wives and concubines were all extremely beautiful, especially the concubine named Diao Chan, who was the prettiest among the three.
Before meeting them, Yan was very confident in her appearance.
But after meeting these three people today, her self-confidence was hit.
At this time, Yan's thoughts had changed greatly.
What she is considering now is no longer the psychological barrier of becoming Liu Cheng's concubine, but whether Uncle Liu will let herself become his concubine...
I don’t know if the two generals Cheng and Gao clearly stated their intention to come in their letters...
Before meeting Liu Cheng, Yan seemed a little hesitant about the purpose of his trip and did not dare to make up his mind.
But after today's contact, all her hesitations disappeared.
…
"Can you see the purpose of Yan's mother and daughter coming?"
The lights in Cai Yan's room have been extinguished.
Because it was covered with heavy snow outside, even if the lights were extinguished at this time, there was still a dim light shining in.
There is no darkness in the house.
Liu Cheng and Cai Yan were lying side by side on the bed, surrounded by each other.
Liu Cheng asked Cai Yan.
Cai Yan said: "Husband, I feel... I feel..."
Hearing Cai Yan's hesitation here, Liu Cheng stretched out his hand on her head, patted her gently, and said with a smile: "If you have an idea, just say it. There is no need to hesitate like this."
Cai Yan chuckled and said, "I think she may be coveting my husband's body."
Liu Cheng had said this to Cai Yan before, but now Cai Yan said it and returned it to Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said: "Tell me how you came to this conclusion."
Cai Yan smiled and said, "Not long after I met Mr. Yan, I felt like this."
When Liu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but sniff secretly, what a woman's damn sixth sense.
"Don't talk about these feelings. These are not very reliable. Many feelings are actually supported by certain evidence."
Liu Cheng didn't talk to Cai Yan about the sixth sense.
Cai Yan thought for a while and said: "My husband is too good. I heard before that I heard that many women in Chang'an want to marry a hero like the emperor's uncle. This Yan family is also a woman. I heard that it was because of the emperor's uncle.
After the great victory in Yizhou, it was normal for the woman who was pardoned from the death penalty by the delighted grand master to have other thoughts about the emperor's uncle.
Moreover, among her husband's remaining subordinates, the ones who took better care of her were Gao Shun and Cheng Lian. Both of them were under the command of the emperor's uncle and took orders from him..."
Listening to Cai Yan talking here, Liu Cheng couldn't help but smile. It's not a good idea to find a wife who is too smart.
He immediately said: "Then how do you think we should deal with it?"
Cai Yan said: "According to what I said, no matter what the facts are, my husband has been deprived of his military power. Cheng Lian, Gao Shun and their subordinates are all elite. At this time, it is natural for Yan's mother and daughter to live in Yushan and have a good life."
Arrange them properly, and we can talk about the rest later."
After saying that, Cai Yan suddenly blinked his eyes, put his mouth close to Liu Cheng's ear, and whispered in a soft voice: "If your husband doesn't mind, it would be a good idea to bring Mrs. Yan into the room, so that we can completely
Stabilize the hearts of Lu Bu's subordinates in Bingzhou.
Moreover, Mrs. Yan is also a beauty. Her head and figure are very different from those of me..."
