Chapter 425 Saying one thing and doing another is the essence of human beings
After the letter was sent out, Liu Bei was not idle, and began to plan things like how to arrange things in Yizhou and Liangzhou if he went to Luoyang.

Anyway, there are many capable and trustworthy people in his subordinates. As long as he is still alive, he doesn't worry that these people will betray him.

After being busy in Yizhou for a while with the army and humanities, culture and education, Liu Bei rushed back to Liangzhou in a hurry.

Because before he went to Yizhou this time, Gong Qin and Gong Ling were pregnant one after another. Not long after he went to Yizhou, Liangzhou sent someone to send news that Han Ning was also pregnant.

Good guy, or don't come, come all of them?
The matter of having children is something that cannot be controlled. It is difficult to force it when it is not there, and it is impossible to stop it if it is.

Liu Bei was very happy, and left the matter to Qianzhao and Yan Wen, and ran back to see his wife, but when he went back, all three were pregnant, and there was only one left, Han Xiaodie, who stood pitifully by the side and looked at Liu Bei with aggrieved eyes. , which made Liu Bei very guilty.

So in the next few days, Liu Bei will focus on taking care of Han Xiaodie, which can be regarded as achieving a flat bowl of water, not doing things that favor one another, and spending more time during the day with Han Ning and the two Gong sisters.

After a few days, he realized from it that a powerful man's balance of the backyard and the front court is the same thing that requires a high level of operation. The average man should never get involved in this field, otherwise the coolness will be temporary, and the situation will collapse. Pain and effects are permanent.

Unless the energy is far beyond ordinary people, you still have to make a choice between the front court and the backyard, and forcefully launch projects that cannot be taken care of by your own energy, which will not end well.

For the next period of time, Liu Bei did not return to Yizhou temporarily. On the one hand, he wanted to spend more time with the women at home. On the other hand, the arrangement of taking concubines was also on the agenda, and he was about to start taking concubines.

The so-called proximate to the water first gets the moon. Because Yan and Gai are in Liangzhou, they acted quickly, so they quickly sent the outstanding daughter-in-law selected by the family to Ji County to settle down. Married Gai's daughter and Yan's daughter.

Although it is a concubine's room, a concubine's room with family backing is completely different from a concubine's room without family backing, and a concubine's room with a son is not the same thing as a concubine's room without a son.

Etiquette is etiquette, and rules are rules, but those with power can always break through the dead dogma written on paper. As long as they don't spread it everywhere, few people will seriously implement the so-called "etiquette".

So they are concubines in the patriarchal sense, but in fact, Liu Bei did not intend to treat them in the same way as concubines.

Rules are dead, people are alive, and people in the world are still obsessed with the eldest son inheriting. As a result, after thousands of years of imperial power society, the number of eldest sons among Chinese emperors is not so many.

So it is the essence of human beings to say one thing and do another.

It would be better to say that Liu Bei has never treated the women around him in the same way that he usually treats concubines. Whether it is Han Xiaodie or the Gong sisters, they all get along very happily with Liu Bei.

When getting along with them, Liu Bei didn't mention government affairs and military affairs. He talked about interesting things in life, some funny things that happened in daily life.

For example, what troublesome problem students have appeared in state schools.

For example, some reckless officials who entered the government did stupid things.

For example, what achievements he has made in governing the region recently.

He never brings negative energy into his home or backyard, and he is always gentle and gentle when facing his women.

Going home is to rest, not to open up a second battlefield, just like Liu Hong and Queen Song and Queen He, in fact, it just proves that Liu Hong's family management level is very low.

So over the years, the number of conflicts and anger between Liu Bei, Han Ning, and Han Xiaodie can be counted on two hands.

After joining the Gong sisters, Liu Bei allocated some time and energy to them, but he did not neglect Han Ning and Han Xiaodie. He liked the feeling of everyone talking and eating together. Whenever there was a chance, we would join together.

Of course, when it's time to be alone, you still have to be alone. It's easier for two people to spark sparks, and they are more friendly to the waist.

Although there were various reasons for the five concubines included this time, Liu Bei did not intend to treat them differently.

No matter what kind of special "mission" they have on their shoulders, Liu Bei will not find it strange, everyone gets along as they want.

He is sincere enough, if the other party is also sincere, then he will be a husband and wife for a hundred days, if the other party is not sincere, then he will raise his eyebrows and respect each other as a guest.

In the order of the first wave of marriages, Gai's daughter and Yan's daughter were married first, and five days later, Yan's daughter was married.

Because Gai Xun was the first Liangzhou official who formed a friendship with Liu Bei, he was the first to welcome Liu Bei and help Liu Bei gain a firm foothold.

And Yan Wenwen and Yan Zhong entered Liu Bei's command after Gai Xun's recommendation.

Out of such considerations, Yan Wenwen and Yan Zhong voluntarily backed down on this matter and handed over the number one position to Gai Xun.

Gai Xun did his part, won the number one position, carefully selected in the family, and married his own brother's youngest daughter, Gai Ning, to Liu Bei.

On the day of the wedding, except for the utensils that the etiquette clearly stipulates can only be used by the main wife and not by the concubine’s room, Gai Xun also used everything for Gai Ning to support the scene, and Liu Bei’s subordinates also Basically, I know the inside story of this marriage, so I also participated in it all, and there is no shortage of celebrations that should be had.

Anyway, except for the things that you clearly cannot do, you have done everything else, and even beat around the bush and found excuses to find substitutes for some things that you are not allowed to do.

The face of etiquette is given, and Gai Xun's face is also given.

After a day of turmoil, Gai Xun was very happy, and Liu Bei was also very happy. Everyone drank happily and had a happy day.

At night, Liu Bei entered the "bridal chamber" and met Gai Ning for the first time.

He is very satisfied with Gai Ning's appearance, and feels the Yan family's respect for him.

And it seems that Ge Ning is not dissatisfied with his appearance.

Human beings care more about appearance than they think, especially between men and women, there is always the problem of a face.

As long as one face can see each other, this little life can go on smoothly.

"Letting you be my concubine is somewhat wronged, but in life, it is impossible to have no grievances at all. Even if you are the emperor, you should be wronged, you should be wronged, you should be scolded, and you must suffer. scold.

There are not many things I can do, only to treat you with sincerity, I will not treat you as a plaything without a soul, you are a complete person in my eyes, and I will try my best not to let you be wronged, hope that in the future , we can grow old together. "

Liu Bei held Gai Ning's hand, showing all his tenderness and demeanor.

Gai Ning stared at Liu Bei's face for a while, smiled slightly, and nodded.

"When I marry into the Liu family, I am the wife of the Liu family. It is not wrong to be a concubine of such a hero as you. If you treat me with sincerity, I will accompany you in life and death."

As she spoke, she put her other hand on Liu Bei's.
