【Chapter 230】 Overjoyed and worried
Taishi Mansion, Changle Garden.
"My sister Wan, My sister Wan! Come and see, my brother-in-law has brought you good things!"
Just as Li Li and Lu Bu were summoned to the lobby by Dong Zhuo, Li Ru led three personal soldiers to carry a large wooden box and ran into Changle Garden with joy on his face.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Li Ru laughed and called Dong Wan out to have a sneak peek.
"Brother-in-law, you are back so soon! How about Li Lang? Was he injured?" Dong Wan walked out quickly and asked anxiously when she heard this.
Next to Dong Wan, there is a lady in her thirties. She has a plump figure and beautiful appearance. When she saw Li Ru entering the door, she bowed slightly and said softly: "I have seen my husband."
When Li Ru first saw that his wife was actually saluting him in a good manner, she was quite uncomfortable.
"It's really the sun that comes out from the west. When will the third lady of the Dong family become a lady?" While muttering in her heart, Li Ru looked up at the sun and saw that the sun was setting, and the afterglow was still there. The sun was indeed in the west.
In a slight shock, Li Ru secretly thanked that his wife finally gave him face and supported him in front of Dong Wan, which made him feel that he was a man and his self-confidence increased dramatically.
You should know that since this third lady of the Dong family married him, she has been a tiger at home. She is so fierce! She has a beautiful appearance, a plump and charming body, and she has a lot of tricks. She exhausts Li Ru every day and enjoys it. Over the years, Li Ru often feels that she can't conquer her wife. She has the heart but is not strong enough, and she is eaten by her.
Fortunately, her wife knew the general and knew how to maintain her dignity in front of outsiders. Based on this alone, Li Ru loved her very much. Although she had no children for many years, she was still only a wife like Miss Dong San. She had no concubines and had a very good relationship with her husband and wife.
"Brother-in-law, don't be stunned! Third sister is your wife. You have to see her. Let's take a good look when you go back tonight. Now I'll ask you the important thing!" Dong Wan saw Li Ru and third sister's love, and immediately couldn't care about the ladylike style and said sharply.
"Hehehe! Sister Wan, don't be anxious. Wenchang is unscathed. At this moment, he and Lu Bu are waiting for the Prime Minister to deal with it in the lobby. There will be no accident." Li Ru said with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Indeed, Miss Dong San's gentle and graceful look at this time is really tempting! Even after being married for many years, Li Ru is still deeply involved in it and cannot extricate herself.
From this we can see that the women of the Dong family have been deeply inherited from Dong Zhuo's romantic and affectionate appearance. They are dignified on the outside but charming on the inside. They have their own secrets of serving their men. They are definitely not false. After the first three daughters of the Dong family got married, their sons-in-law were all loyal to Dong Zhuo. Among them, there must be three daughters who were deeply favored by their husbands. If the couple had a disagreement, they were afraid that the three sons-in-law would find it difficult to be with Dong Zhuo and be loyal to their death.
Dong Wan knew that her third sister and her brother-in-law Li Ru had a good relationship, but she didn't care about so much at this moment. When she heard Li Li and Lu Bu were being trained in the lobby, she asked anxiously: "Brother-in-law, Wenchang is being scolded by her father. Why don't you help me with me? Instead, she carried the box back and did something?"
Li Ru smiled and shook her head, saying, "My sister Wan, you are concerned about it. Think about it, the Prime Minister scolded Wenchang and Lu Bu in the lobby. If my brother-in-law was my brother-in-law, I wouldn't they be embarrassed and feel disgraceful? Besides, the world is now in chaos, and it is the time to use people. The Prime Minister will not do anything to them, just bluff, and will not really punish them."
"Oh. So that's the case. Thank you brother-in-law for helping me out, so I'll feel relieved." Dong Wan bowed with relief and said.
After calming down, Dong Wan looked at the big box behind Li Ru that was carried by his personal soldiers and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law. You have to give gifts when you come to your younger sister. Brother-in-law, you are so disgusting!"
"Hahaha!" Li Ru laughed happily when she heard this and said, "My sister Wan, you really dare to think about it. Your brother-in-law is not as rich as you. What good things are there in the family? Your third sister knows clearly and is in her hands! Even if your brother-in-law wants to give you a gift, he has to ask your third sister for instructions first, otherwise he can't take out a tael of silver."
In front of Dong Wan and his sisters, Li Ru was frank and said without any concealment.
Dong Wan asked curiously: "Who is the one you carry behind, brother-in-law, and who gave it to me?"
"The things in this big box were all given to me by someone else. Guess who he is?" Li Ru asked back with a teasing smile.
Dong Wan was stunned when she heard this and pondered: "Who dares to give me a gift? She also entrusted her brother-in-law to deliver it to you personally. I guess this person has a good status. Could it be him?"
While muttering to himself, Dong Wan suddenly blushed with her cheeks, she lowered her head reservedly, and did not dare to look at Li Ru and her third sister. But her bright and lively eyes stared at Li Ru expecting to be looking forward to his affirmative answer.
Li Ru smiled and said, "My sister Wan is kind and beautiful, and she can be guessed. That's right, the gift in this wooden box was brought by Wenchang! When she returned to the city just now, Wenchang sent someone back to the house to pick it up and handed it to me, asking me to give it to her. Now my brother-in-law has lived up to Wenchang's trust and has delivered the gift. Sister Wan, should you reward your brother-in-law? Hahaha??????"
"Ah! Brother-in-law, please ask for tea in the house. It just so late. You and my third sister are having dinner with Wanmei, and then go back. Brother-in-law, third sister, don't refuse, otherwise I will feel sorry for you." Dong Wan said diligently while being surprised.
Li Ru nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'm so quiet about my sister Wan, it's better to obey your orders than to be respectful to you. How do you think?"
"That's great! Brother-in-law, please come in." Dong Wan bowed with a smile and invited Li Ru to enter the main hall.
Li Ru waved his hand and the three personal soldiers behind him immediately put down the wooden box, bowed and left the courtyard, and carried the wooden box into the hall by the servants in Changle Garden.
In the main hall, except for the few personal maids around Dong Wan, there were only Li Ru and his wife.
Dong Wan's third sister Dong Yue looked at the vermilion wooden box with curiosity and asked bluntly: "Wenyou, did your brother-in-law tell you what it is in there?"
This sentence indeed asked Dong Wan's thoughts. In fact, she had wanted to open the box and see it, but because of the girl's reserve, she was embarrassed to open it in public. But happiness needs to be shared by her relatives, so she didn't mind watching with her third sister and her brother-in-law.
"Hahaha!" Li Ru heard it before she smiled and said, "Wenchang mentioned this. He said that this was a wedding dress and jewelry for Wanmei. Don't underestimate this box of things. According to Wenchang, these clothes were designed by him and were sewn by stitches and threads of the five wives in his mansion. It was different from ordinary service. The jewelry was selected by his five wives, one for each of them, and Wanmei was also among them."
Speaking of this, Li Ru paused and then looked at Dong Wan and asked, "My sister Wan, do you understand what Wenchang means?"
Dong Wan nodded shyly and said softly: "My sister understands. The five sisters are all confidantes of Wenchang and have been following him for a long time. They had no status before, and Wenchang was unwilling to let down their deep affection, so there was a time when they married six wives. The younger sister finally entered the door, but she didn't expect that the five sisters were so reasonable that they had already prepared new clothes for me and selected a piece of jewelry for me. Wenchang asked his brother-in-law to send the clothes and jewelry to me, just to tell me that in his heart, I am as heavy as the five sisters, and I will be a family in the future, so I will live in harmony, respect and love each other, and be one with one heart and one mind.
Brother-in-law, this is just a speculation of the younger sister. Please give me advice.”
The smile on Li Ru's face was completely restrained at this moment. After nodding slightly, he said seriously: "Every sentence of Wanmei is to the point and understands Wenchang's true intentions. After marrying Wenchang, be sure to have a good relationship with his five wives, advance and retreat with them, and be like sisters. Otherwise, once you have a disagreement with them, you will be an isolated existence and your situation is worrying.
Li Wenchang is not an ordinary person or an ordinary official. Now he has tens of thousands of powerful soldiers, and his elite soldiers and generals gather in one side. He is as powerful as Lu Bu and is not his opponent. It is not difficult to imagine how powerful he is. Although the prime minister treated him well before, he did not give him much help. All of this was obtained through his own efforts.
Rather than saying that the Prime Minister helped Li Wenchang, it is better to say that the Prime Minister was using him to defend the rear of Liangzhou. Now, although the Prime Minister is the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, he is in charge of the prime minister and state affairs, and he is also known as Shangfu, and he is powerful and powerful in the court and the world. However, the world is chaotic, and the princes are rising up from all over the country. The situation in the future is unpredictable and the future is uncertain!
In this chaotic world, the generals holding heavy troops are undoubtedly the key to controlling the situation in the world. Although there are many generals in our Xiliang army, they all follow the orders of the prime minister, but there are two people not listed here. This is Wen Hou Lu Bu and the General Li Li of the Cavalry. The troops under them were completely accumulated bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit and have no direct relationship with the prime minister. What the prime minister is doing now is just trying to win over them, which is a means to win over the hearts of the people, but it is not a gift.
Because of this, the two of them dared to ignore the laws of the court and openly led troops outside the city to fight. However, the prime minister could not blame them for this, so they could only scold them and properly appease them from now on.
Therefore, Wanmei, after you marry Li Li, if you cannot get his favor and can't establish a good relationship with his many wives, even if you are wronged, the prime minister will not be able to help and cannot control Li Wenchang. Fortunately, my brother-in-law can see that Li Wenchang is a man of paradise. As long as you truly love him, he will never let you down, and the five wives in his mansion are the most powerful witnesses.
My brother-in-law said this and hopes that Sister Wan will consider it carefully. In the future, you must be willing to act irritable, so as not to make Wenchang dislike and regret it at that time!"
Li Ruyu's earnest words made Dong Yue, who was sitting beside him, frown secretly, but she didn't say anything. Then, while Dong Wan lowered her head and thought, she pulled Li Ru into the side room, and the couple muttered for a while.
Dong Wan sat in the main hall in a daze, thinking of many things she had never thought about, such as love, hesitation, uneasiness, worries, etc., and thoughts surged into her heart. (To be continued)
