11, Charming Diao Chan Design Banquet(2/2)
Qilin knew that Diao Chan was a little angry.
Cai Wenji said: "Is this really what Mr. Hou came up with?"
Qilin smiled and said: "Of course not. The Marquis likes her so much that I had to come and play a bad role."
Cai Wenji smiled softly and said: "It's nothing at first...it's just my daughter's house, how can I dance...this kind of dance? It's inevitable that I feel uncomfortable."
Qilin teased: "Really?"
The red rabbit chirped, and Lu Bu, a tall man, appeared at the back door.
"What about embroidering mandarin ducks? When did I ask you to ask this again?"
The young general Lu Bu, proud of the spring breeze, dismounted with a smile. It was obvious that he had arrived long ago and had been listening outside the wall for a long time.
Qilin smiled and said: "You came to pull me. When did you arrive? How long have you been listening?"
Lu Bu said: "What do you mean? You asked Wen Yuan to call me over in a hurry and didn't let me in? Explain it to me clearly."
Cai Wenji couldn't help but said: "What kind of tricks are you playing?"
Qilin replied: "Follow me and I will tell you something."
Lu Bu scolded: "Not up or down, even in front of others..."
Qilin said: "You can scold me when you get home later... Now come with me."
Zhang Liao led the horse, but did not enter the mansion. He stood in the back alley and looked around. Cai Wenji said: "It took less than half a cup of tea, but the Marquis came so fast?"
Lu Bu smiled and said: "After talking with your father for a long time, he got a good piano from the former emperor..."
Cai Wenji said leisurely: "That Qin was supposed to be a gift for you. Just now, Mr. Qilin was talking about the wedding customs in the Marquis' family."
Lu Bu's head was full of questions and he asked: "Where is Diao Chan? What's the custom? I didn't hear what you said before, only the second half. Qilin, what are you doing here?"
Qilin hurriedly touched Cai Wenji's elbow, which made Cai Wenji even more confused.
Qilin said: "Lord, let me tell you something. You can't be angry."
Lu Bu's face darkened: "What did you say in front of the lady?!"
Qilin waved his hands hurriedly and said: "You will know if you come with me. That's not the case."
"??" Cai Wenji was simply confused.
Lu Bu said: "That's all, sit here for me..."
Qilin said seriously: "No, you come with me first."
There were frequent calls of silk and bamboo in the main hall, and two Dong Zhuo's soldiers were standing at the door. Qilin glanced at them from a distance and said, "Let's go this way."
Qilin followed the courtyard around the low wall and got closer under the wall. The three of them stood in the grass behind the main hall of Situ Mansion. Lu Bu whispered: "What do you want me to see?"
Qilin remained silent, while Cai Wenji and Lu Bu stood behind him inexplicably.
The voices of Wang Yun and Dong Zhuo came from the hall. Lu Bu paid attention, and upon hearing this, he immediately frowned.
Diao Chan was singing, and when she finished the song, Dong Zhuo praised her greatly.
"Well done, well done! Raise your head and let me see my true face, oh...yoyoyo! Ouchyoyo..."
Lu Bu: "..."
Lu Bu mouthed: "How did he get here?"
Qilin whispered: "Wang Yun invited him to drink."
Lu Bu finally realized something was wrong.
Cai Wenji said: "This..."
Qilin signaled that it was okay, stretched out his hand, took Lu Bu's broad palm, and held his index and middle fingers.
Lu Bu struggled slightly uncomfortably, but finally let him hold it, with a complicated look in his eyes. He looked at Qilin, and after a moment Wang Yun's voice came from the hall: "Daughter, pour some wine for the Prime Minister."
Dong Zhuo: "Hey, it's not hard work, it's not hard to be beautiful...Diao Chan, are you married?"
Wang Yun: "My little girl is only eighteen years old and has not yet been betrothed."
Lu Bu: "..."
Cai Wenji: "This...why did Lord Situ say this?"
Qilin said: "Master Hou, don't be impulsive."
Dong Zhuo: "Oh... she is so beautiful. Wang Yun, Wang Yun, tell me... you, how did you give birth to such a beautiful daughter? Huh?"
Wang Yun's voice was a little embarrassed: "Well, back to Prime Minister Dong, I have no children. Ten years ago, General He Jin selected a group of girls to enter the palace. He wanted her to be in charge of the Diao Chan crown in the palace. At that time, there were too many candidates.
I saw that I liked this girl, so I adopted her as my adopted daughter."
Dong Zhuo: "Oh! No wonder! No wonder! Look at these white hands, tsk tsk tsk..."
Lu Bu's face was ashen, Qilin whispered: "What did Wang Yun tell you?"
Lu Bu's hand was cold, and his other hand was clenched into a fist, with veins showing on the back of his hand. He suppressed his anger and said: "Wang Situ... told me that Diao Chan is the daughter of his distant relative. Her parents died, so she came to Luoyang to join him.
…”
Cai Wenji said: "Isn't that right? How did I hear that Diao Chan was born from a concubine of the Wang family?"
Qilin: "..."
There are so many versions of this that even Qilin is confused.
Qilin wanted to laugh but didn't dare. He looked at Cai Wenji and said, "There are so many things to say."
Lu Bu took a deep breath and said: "I went to the front door to visit. Whether it is his adopted daughter or his biological daughter, does he treat his daughter as a human being?"
Qilin said: "No, wait, you listen carefully first, the key lies behind."
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly: "Since there is no betrothed to anyone, the emperor is at the age of choosing a concubine. How about I report to the emperor and send her to the palace?"
Diao Chan exclaimed.
Wang Yundao: "This... Prime Minister Dong, stop joking."
Dong Zhuo: "Hey - why are you joking? Diaochan, are you willing?"
Diao Chan didn't say a word. Lu Bu couldn't bear it anymore, but Qilin grabbed her tightly.
Dong Zhuo: "Oh, I'm so laughing that I'm speechless."
Wang Yun coughed a few times: "Daughter, if you are willing, just nod, if not, just say no."
Lu Bu's breath was suffocated, and even Cai Wenji stretched out her hand and pressed it on his arm, signaling not to be impulsive.
Time passed extremely slowly. After a long time, Dong Zhuo laughed loudly: "That's it! In the afternoon, the prime minister personally brought someone to pick him up. No, no, who is it? Send someone back to prepare the sedan now. Please go back and pack your things first.
…”
Diao Chan whispered, "It's all up to the Prime Minister to make the decision." She turned around and walked out of the hall, closing the door behind her.
Chapter completed!
