Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 90 Letters from home

"Madam, this is a letter sent by the master of the family." In Jingzhao, Xinfeng, not many people know that Lu Bu settled his family here. Although Yan didn't know why Lu Bu did this, Lu Bu obviously had his own concerns. Therefore, Yan tried his best to stay as private as possible to reduce the possibility of being seen by others. The letter sent by Lu Bu was also placed in a specific place and passed through two hands before it fell into Yan's hands, as if it were carefully crafted.

Mrs. Yan took the letter from her maid and said with a smile: "It has been almost three months since my husband left for the war. I wonder how your husband is doing away from home?"

The maid smiled and said: "It's better to be comfortable at home. I heard that the northwest is sparsely populated, with barren mountains everywhere and no one for hundreds of miles is a common sight. The master of the house must have wanted to kill his wife."

Want to be evil?

Yan touched the head of Lu Lingqi next to her and said with a smile: "Lingqi, do you miss your father?"

"No~" Lu Lingqi pouted and said: "He promised Lingqi to find Xiao Pony, but he secretly went to fight. Lingqi didn't miss him."

Yan was a little helpless when he heard this. Who would fight secretly? He shook his head, opened the bamboo slip, looked at the contents of the bamboo slip, and the smile on his face gradually became stiff.

"Madam?" The maid noticed something was wrong with Yan's expression, and was immediately startled, looking at her carefully.

"Nothing." Yan's face was a little complicated after reading the bamboo slips. Yan was somewhat mentally prepared for Lu Bu's intention to take a concubine. She even persuaded Lu Bu. After all, the Lu family could not have no heirs, and Lingqi was the only one. As a woman, it was obvious that she could not carry on the ancestral lineage of the Lu family, but when it really happened, Mrs. Yan still felt a little complicated.

Feelings of grievance, loss, jealousy, etc., seemed to have knocked over the five-flavor bottle in her heart. How could the maid be fine when she saw Mrs. Yan like this? But he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he knelt down and took care of him obediently.

After a long time, Mrs. Yan sighed, looked at her maid and said, "Xia Zhu, go and prepare a bamboo slip for me. This matter cannot be delayed. It needs to be sent to your husband as soon as possible."

It is impossible for Yan to accept Lü Bu's concubinage calmly. It is impossible for any woman. However, in this era, it is impossible to expect a high-ranking man to not take concubines throughout his life, especially if he has no heirs. If the Yan family prevents reproduction, Lu Bu may think of the love between husband and wife and accept this concubine, but he may have a grudge in his heart.

Not to mention that Lu Bu, as the general who conquered the West, also held a high position in the court. Even the magistrate of Xinfeng County had one wife and four concubines. The most outrageous thing is that he was famous for his love. However, Lu Bu only had one wife, but the public opinion was that He has a reputation of being lustful and lustful, and sometimes I feel aggrieved for Lu Bu when I think about it.

What happened? As a maid, Xia Zhu obviously didn't dare to ask any more questions. She could only agree, turned around and left. After a while, she got a bamboo slip.

After Yan thought for a moment, he wrote a text on the bamboo slips, dried the ink, sealed it with fire paint and handed it to Xia Zhu, saying: "Xia Zhu, this time you need to go to my husband's place on my behalf."

"This..." Xia Zhu looked at Yan in confusion.

"My husband wants to take a concubine. I don't know why Lord Dao wants us to hide here, but Lingqi and I are afraid it will be inconvenient to travel. You have been with me for many years. This time my husband takes a concubine. Although I can't be there, I can't say anything." , you need to go to your husband and host it for me. Don’t let the newlyweds think that I am stingy. In addition, send some money to your husband and prepare a generous gift. The Wang family’s family does not require me to wait, and don’t let anyone be wronged.” Yan As he spoke, Shi took off a jade pendant from his neck and handed it to Xia Zhu, saying, "This jade pendant is a gift from me."

Xia Zhu carefully made sure that he was not in trouble to find a concubine, and he felt relieved. After all, if he wanted to bully another woman in front of Lu Bu, even if he was a concubine, Xia Zhu was worried that his head would be pinched by the master of the family at any time. Explosion, although the head of the family has always been gentle towards women, if he really doesn't know the bounds of the world and provokes others, then he deserves to be punished.

Fortunately, the madam is as generous as the head of the family, which makes her job as a maid relatively easy.

"Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely handle this matter properly." Xia Zhu took the jade pendant with both hands and saluted Mrs. Yan, but in his heart he was thinking about Madam's generosity, hoping that this new concubine would not be the kind of person who relies on favors. You arrogant little bitch, otherwise Madam’s thoughts would just be feeding the dogs~

There was some fear in my heart about the concubine I was about to face.

On the surface, there were only four maids including Xia Zhu serving in the mansion, but in fact, as Lu Bu's family members, Lu Bu left almost half of his personal guards here, hiding them all around. Yan took the order Lu Bu left for him, and soon He quickly found a guard hiding in secret and asked him to arrange four people to protect Xia Zhu on his way to Ji County.

With Lu Bu's military orders, she naturally didn't dare to disobey them. Early the next morning, Xia Zhu gathered four of Lu Bu's personal guards outside the city. They also prepared a carriage and took her all the way to Ji County.

During this period of time, it was naturally impossible for Lu Bu to focus on concubinage. Xiliang was a vast area with few people, but many Qiang people had similar habits to the Han people, and even lived in the same place.

The Chinese civilization has been passed down to this day not by blood but by culture. In fact, seriously speaking, which of the Hu people outside the Great Wall does not have Han blood flowing in their bodies? But the Han people regard them as aliens, which essentially means cultural alienation. Regardless of living habits or ways of making a living, it is easier for people who are closer to identify with each other.

Therefore, Han culture is relatively influential among the Qiang people. This cultural influence does not mean reading and literacy. Let alone the Qiang people, most of the Han people living here are illiterate. This cultural influence is based on the basic necessities of life for decades or hundreds of years. It is the habit memory that is formed and imprinted in the bones.

What Lu Bu does these days is to classify the Qiang people with everyone to see which ones are suitable to be absorbed into the Han family, such as those Qiang people who mainly focus on farming, and those who are suitable for cooperation and appeasement. Although Xiliang is barren, that mainly refers to cultivated land. The grazing area is actually much better than the grassland environment, and Lu Bu intends to establish Xiliang as a frontline for commercial exchanges with the Western Regions, so stability is very important.

But if you want stability, you don't have to suppress bandits. No matter whether they are Qiang people or Di people, even if they are small in number, they will not be able to kill them all.

If you want stability, you can only make everyone live a better life. Poverty is the original sin. When you can't live without rebellion, rebellion will come. Therefore, Lu Bu wants to form a stable and long-term interest line with Xiliang, Western Regions and Jingzhao. chain, driving the economic improvement of the entire Xiliang, thereby absorbing everything the Qiang and Di people can absorb into the Han family's rule.

Of course, there is a premise for this. Lu Bu must have the force that can absolutely suppress his opponents. The economic prosperity of Daqian was something Lu Bu had never dared to imagine before. There are actually many troops, and the equipment is much stronger than that of the big man. Da Gan's bed crossbow can shoot at a maximum distance of a thousand steps, while Da Han's bed crossbow can shoot at a distance of two hundred steps. However, with such armaments, they are suppressed by barbarians. In such a court, no matter how rich it is, it is just a bystander. It's just fat in the eyes.

Therefore, one of Lu Bu's ideas for governing Xiliang is to improve the economy and use trade with the Western Regions to improve the current desolate situation in Xiliang. The other is to strengthen military preparedness. Whether it is against the Qiang people or the Western Regions, there must be sufficient force to deter them. , let them follow Lu Bu's rules peacefully.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Liao is placed here. Regardless of his intelligence or bravery, Zhang Liao is absolutely suitable to take charge of Xiliang for Lu Bu.

"My lord, people from Chang'an are coming from my lord's family!" On this day, Lu Bu was discussing road construction with Jiang Yuan and others, when he saw Ma Chao coming in carelessly, bowing to Lu Bu and saying.

Lu Bu has corrected Ma Chao's etiquette issues several times, but this kid is not the kind of person who has a great memory, or is it more effective to have his father's way of controlling him?

"Family?" Lu Bu looked up. The lady came in person? He quickly said: "Please quickly!"

"Here!" Ma Chao is now fed up with the red tape in the military. In the past, it felt okay to see others salute to him, and he felt a little happy. But now that it is his turn to salute and sing with others every day, the feeling is not so wonderful. .

Soon, Xia Zhu came in led by four personal guards, saluted Lu Bu and said, "My little maid has met the master of the house."

"Xia Zhu?" Lu Bu glanced at her in surprise and said, "Did Madam ask you to come?"

"Yes, madam asked a slave to deliver the message. In addition, madam knew that the master of the family was going to take a concubine. She was afraid of wronging the Wang family, so she specially asked me to come over to help buy a generous gift." Xia Zhu bowed.

Lu Bu was a little emotional when he heard this. He got a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for? He nodded immediately and said: "In that case, you can stay. As for the matter of taking concubines, since the wife has agreed, let someone go and discuss it with Wang Ling. Although it is taking a concubine, the Wang family is also a prominent family in Shouyang, so we must not be rude. Follow the rules as you should.”

It's funny to say that what bothered Lu Bu most was rules in the past, but now Lu Bu has gradually begun to pay attention to rules. There really cannot be no rules in this world.

"Here~" Xia Zhu agreed quickly.

In fact, Lu Bu only agreed to take in concubines after Xia Zhu arrived. Lu Bu's current view of family is to take care of external affairs by himself, but the Yan family is responsible for family affairs, including taking concubines. If Yan does not agree, Lu Bu would refuse without hesitation. For him, home was a place to rest. He enjoyed the warmth and tranquility of being with Yan, and did not want this place to become a place for intrigues.

In the simulated world, the first life was okay. He established a family of generals, and the wives and concubines at home were all well-behaved. But the second life was not good. After becoming the emperor, the struggle for power between women caused Lu Bu a headache. In his heart, he disliked women. Lu Bu, who is gentler than most people, cannot do anything that would require severe punishment, so in reality Lu Bu rarely mentions concubinage. Even if he has no son, this is a problem that he has to face...
