If Li Li could see Wang Ying at this time, he would definitely be surprised, because Wang Ying not only looks very similar to Diao Chan, but also has a very similar figure.The only difference between the two sisters may be that Diao Chan's figure is plump and full of charm; while Wang Ying's figure is slightly weaker, but her whole body exudes a quiet and elegant temperament, as if she can't eat fireworks.In terms of temperament, Wang Ying is better than Diao Chan, and the charm of her body and temperament is also slightly better than Diao Chan.

Living to nourish Qi, walking to enjoy the body.Wang Ying is quiet by nature, indifferent to fame and wealth, not fond of luxury, and comes from a famous family with high lofts.Therefore, the temperament and elegance condensed by her long-term cultivation of health and character are beyond Diaochan's reach.However, it is precisely because she stays behind closed doors all year round and has a quiet nature that makes it impossible for her to possess Diao Chan's enchanting and graceful figure.

The father and daughter talked in the room, time passed quietly outside the window, the moon hung high in the night sky, and the stars were shining brightly.

"No! Father, I am your own daughter. How could you let your daughter do such a thing? My daughter would rather die than obey!" Under the moonlit night, the sound of Wang Ying's crying and screaming woke up the dozing guards.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Yun walked out of the door in a daze, and left the attic courtyard with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

Chapter 207 Situ has a good face, but Fengxian is hard to appease

In the past five days, Chang'an City was as calm as ever.

The only thing worthy of praise is that the shops in the city are booming in recent days, especially the shops dealing in high-end fabrics and gold, silver and jade jewelry.

The shopkeepers of these shops greeted them with smiles at first, making money every day; but after two or three days, they were worried and uneasy, and trembling when collecting money.

Because these shoppers are all generals of the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo's command, and all officers with a certain position will buy some high-quality silk and jade jewelry, and they will come to the door in groups, and they will not hesitate at all when paying. Gold and silver are paid in one hand and delivered in one hand.

This is too abnormal, it is not the usual style of the Xiliang Army at all!

Since Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, although the number of shops in the city has increased a lot, business has become increasingly difficult.

It is not uncommon for Xiliang soldiers to be domineering and domineering. They don't pay for food and drink. It is not uncommon to see it; walking on the street, it is commonplace to take whatever is pleasing to the eye.Even if the businessman sued the government office, the Jingzhaoyin government office would not accept such a matter at all, and there would be no place to justify it.No one in the shops along the street has ever encountered such a thing. Everyone smashed their teeth and swallowed their blood. Apart from admitting that they were unlucky, they just swallowed their anger and lived a difficult life.

Now that the sun is coming out from the west, the Xiliang army has changed.The generals in the army, large and small, and the high officials and nobles in the city generously donated their money one after another, without frowning when they spent a lot of money, and they were full of pride.

In this way, the shopkeepers of various shops feel uneasy.They worry that this is a sign of imminent disaster. The prosperous business in front of them is like a dream like a mirage, and it may turn into a bubble at any time.Once the Xiliang army under Dong Zhuo's command wakes up one day and regains its original nature, the shops along the street will suffer, and at least they will lose money and eliminate disasters.More importantly, people and money will be empty, and they will die on the streets for no reason.

So many merchants wanted to make a profit and left Chang'an City to go to the Central Plains to seek further development. As long as they had gold and silver in their pockets, they could not live anywhere in the world.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Zhi Jinwu and Wen Hou Lu Bu didn't know what was wrong, so they suddenly strengthened the guards at the gates of the city. Anyone who brought a large amount of gold, silver and soft goods would not be able to leave the city, and they would all be detained for detailed investigation.Checking the belongings one by one made the merchants in the city panic, and the grass and trees were all soldiers, for fear that if there was a slight mistake, their heads would be lost.

Situ Wangyun's mansion.

Early in the morning, Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse.He came to visit with a well-dressed carriage and heavy gifts.

In the main hall, Wang Yun and Lu Bu took their seats.

After some pleasantries.Wang Yun smiled and asked Lu Bu, "Feng Xian. What happened in the city these days, why did you increase the number of soldiers at the city gate and strictly investigate them for no reason?"

After recuperating behind closed doors for five days, the scratches on Lu Bu's face had scabbed over. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't easily find the scar on his face.

After Lu Bu heard the words, he smiled and said, "Father-in-law doesn't know something. These days, the generals in the army have bought silks, satins, jewelry and utensils. They are going to give Li Li's children as congratulatory gifts. Lu is not angry, so he sends more soldiers to guard the city gate. , The harvest is quite fruitful! Hehehe"

"A battle of spirits. Why do you have to fight so hard!" Wang Yun said with emotion after hearing this.

Lu Bu smiled indifferently and said nothing, and then asked with concern: "Father-in-law doesn't look very well, could it be that something has bothered him these few days? If there is something really wrong, why not tell him bluntly, Bu will be able to solve his problems!"

Wang Yun heard an indescribable sadness in his eyes, and said with a forced smile: "Feng Xian is too worried. I am already over [-] years old, and I am not as energetic and heroic as you young people. Recently, the old man sleeps Not good, this is human nature, Feng Xian need not worry."

When Lao Cai, the steward of the palace, heard what his lord said, he looked at Lu Bu with a look of complaint, and said inwardly with resentment: "My lord has been on a hunger strike for four days, and of course he looks bad. For you, Lu Bu, if the lord hadn't forced you with a hunger strike and pleaded hard, how could Miss Diaochan accept this marriage with you, and why would I see you today!"

Lu Bu didn't know what Lao Cai was thinking.The reason why he is concerned about Wang Yun's physical condition at this moment is nothing more than a gesture to show his relationship with Wang Yun's son-in-law, so as not to fall into the truth and say that he has lost his filial piety.

Then Lu Bu respectfully said: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law hasn't come to visit you for the past few days. He is indeed in ailment and cannot make the trip. Please forgive me. Today, my son-in-law specially prepared some high-quality supplements and fabrics for you and Diaochan. , please accept it with a smile."

"Hehehe!" Wang Yun said with a laugh: "Let Fengxian spend money again, only this time, and this is no exception. Fengxian, we will be a family in 20 days, and we don't need to be so strangers in the future. The old man took his daughter I married you because I saw that you, Lu Fengxian, are a hero of the world, not for money. In the future, don't be so polite, lest others gossip, gossip, and tarnish the old man's reputation!"

"Yes, what my father-in-law said is very true." Lu Bu responded.

Then he hesitated to speak and said in a low voice: "I don't know if Diao Chan is okay? Li Li didn't make things difficult for her, right?"

Hearing this, Wang Yun's eyes darkened for a moment, and he forced out a few smiles, and said, "Feng first wants to see the little girl. She is fine. Although Li Li is arrogant and conceited, he will not embarrass Diao Chan." A weak woman."

"That's good! My son-in-law was quite worried about Diao Chan Zhouquan before, but now I feel relieved." Lu Bu said with relief.

Seeing that Lu Bu's expression was not fake when he spoke, and his true feelings were revealed, Wang Yun felt a little relieved, and the smile on his face became real.

Taking a sip of tea, Wang Yun said casually: "Xiaoqi General Li Li is quite courageous. He actually ignored my Han etiquette and married six wives at one time. This move is comparable to the ceremony of concubines in the imperial court. If you don't give in, you're really courageous!"

Wang Yun's words were abrupt, Lu Bu was confused and couldn't understand what Wang Yun meant.

"My son-in-law is stupid, please tell my father-in-law clearly." Lu Bu couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly.

Wang Yun blushed immediately when he heard the words, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, as if it was difficult to speak.

In fact, last winter Wang Yun and Lv Bu had entered into a marriage contract and promised Diao Chan to Lv Bu as a concubine.

Now the situation has changed.Wang Yun's thoughts also changed accordingly. He wanted to fight for his daughter's status as a wife.However, how can this already-determined status be changed just by saying it? If so, wouldn't he, Wang Yun, become a person who does not keep his word?

It's just that Wang Yun has made up his mind, he has already felt sorry for his daughter, and now doing something within his power should be regarded as a disguised compensation for self-comfort.

"Fengxian, since you have asked sincerely, the old man has spoken bluntly. The old man knows that Fengxian has already married a wife and started a family. The youngest daughter Diao Chan was a concubine after her marriage. But now General Xiaoqi Meiyu is in front, and his wedding is next month. March [-]rd, and the day of Fengxian's great joy is the ninth day of March. Li Li is just a mere miscellaneous general, and he married six wives at once, can't Marquis Wen Lu Bu even give the name of one wife to his daughter?"

"Huh?" Lu Bu looked at Wang Yun in astonishment.Then he said loudly: "Thank you father-in-law for reminding me! My son-in-law didn't think of this before, and almost wronged Ms. Diaochan. Now it suddenly dawned on me. I just woke up from my dream. My son-in-law is willing to marry Diaochan as his wife, please father-in-law to make it happen!"

"Hahaha! Good, good!" Wang Yun laughed and applauded repeatedly.This time he was really happy, his smile was real, and his applause came from the bottom of his heart, without any pretense.

After laughing.Wang Yun turned to the butler and said, "Old Cai, go and ask Miss to come out and meet Marquis Wen!"

Lao Cai didn't say much, and walked quickly to the backyard after bowing his promise.

After a while, "Diao Chan" walked into the main hall one by one.On the other hand, Lao Cai looked at the girl walking in front of him in horror, and then looked at Wang Yun very puzzled, his eyes full of doubt and pity.

But Wang Yun shook his head slightly at him. After receiving the signal, Lao Cai walked behind Wang Yun with a dull expression, bowed his head and said nothing.

"Diao Chan pays homage to father and meets Marquis Wen." Diao Chan's voice was still ethereal and sweet, but there was a hint of indifference in her voice.

Many people in the main hall couldn't hear this kind of indifference from the bottom of their hearts, including Lu Bu, but Wang Yun and Lao Cai standing behind him could hear it clearly.

"Lv Bu has met Miss, please take a seat." Before Wang Yun could speak, Lu Bu eagerly got up and welcomed Diao Chan into his own seat, while he sat in Diao Chan's lower seat.

"Daughter, Fengxian has already decided to marry you as his wife, not a concubine. I am very happy for my father, and I will hold a banquet in the mansion today. Later, you will serve me a few more glasses on behalf of my father. Hehehe!" Wang Yun said with a smile.

Diao Chan replied calmly, "Yes, my daughter knows."

The banquet in the palace didn't end until the afternoon, and Diao Chan left quietly after toasting Lu Bu with a few glasses of wine at the beginning of the banquet.

From the beginning to the end, she never showed a smile, nor did she meet Lu Bu's eyes, she came gracefully, and then quietly retreated, leaving only the lingering fragrance that made Lu Bu fascinated.

Diao Chan's indifference during the banquet, not only did not make Lu Bu feel bad, but made him even more obsessed with Diao Chan, addicted to it.

After the banquet, Wang Yun brought Lu Bu to the gate of the mansion with his housekeeper, Lao Cai.

When parting, Wang Yun said apologetically, "Since Diao Chan came back from Li Li's mansion, her temperament is quite different from before. She is indifferent and peaceful. Feng Xian, if Diao Chan has something wrong just now, don't mind. After getting along for a long time, It will be fine."
