Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 22 If you don’t give up, I’m willing to be your father-in-law!
Lu Bu and his group saw a mansion covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters from afar.

Looking at the endless golden wheat waves surrounding the mansion, he was stunned!
Is this the strength of a powerful family?
In some ways, he is even richer than him, the county governor!
No wonder the aristocratic families had such a great influence on the princes during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.

No wonder without the support of the aristocratic families, Lu Bu in history would be defeated so thoroughly...

The power of these aristocratic families is so incredible and shocking!

Behind Lu Bu, there were three men.

One of them was very young, looking only fifteen or sixteen years old.

He has a handsome face and a friendly appearance. He is an important official of Shu Han in history:
Deng Zhi, Deng Bo Miao.

Although he is young, he has a steadiness that his peers do not have.

Needless to say, Chen Wu who was beside him.

Although he is about the same age as Deng Zhi, he looks obviously older.

The other man with a big sword on his shoulder and sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes was none other than the famous Shu Han general who was known as a "rebel with a traitorous mind" - Wei Yan!
Wei Yan looked at the endless sea of ​​rice and could not help cursing:

"Damn it! It's because these aristocratic families control most of the resources that the people have to live such a hard life.

"I really want to kill these people with one blow!"

Lu Bu glanced at Wei Yan. Although he liked his straightforwardness, he still said deliberately:

"Don't be silly, Mr. Wen. The existence of aristocratic families also has a certain meaning.

"If you want to overturn this status quo, how can you do it without sufficient strength?

"Right now we still need to rely on their strength to strengthen ourselves, and we must not lose sight of the main points."

Hearing this, Wei Yan clasped his fists in dissatisfaction and said no more.

At this time, Lu Bu saw from afar a man riding a horse leaving from the side door of the house.

Although he was somewhat curious about who this person was, he did not chase after him because the distance was too far.

Soon, everyone arrived at the gate of the house.

I saw a middle-aged, slightly plump man in his thirties, waiting at the door with a group of servants.

When Lu Bu arrived, the slightly fat man came up to him with a smile and bowed to Lu Bu:

"I didn't know the governor was coming. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. I hope the governor will forgive me."

Lu Bu looked at the man in front of him and wondered if this man was the legendary Mr. Qiao?

Much younger than he thought.

But if you calculate their ages, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao should be only fourteen or fifteen years old at that time.

Their father couldn't be much older.

Lu Bu clasped his fists in return:

"Mr. Qiao, you are too polite. I am visiting you suddenly, which is really abrupt. I hope you will not be offended."

Qiao Hua waved his hand:

"The Governor has arrived, and my humble abode is honored! The herbal tea is ready, and please come in and take a seat."

Lu Bu asked Chen Wu to wait outside with a group of soldiers, while he entered the mansion with Wei Yan and Deng Zhi.

Along the way, looking at the surrounding pavilions, flower beds and medicinal gardens, Lu Bu was once again amazed at the other party's wealth.

If there is no obvious upper limit to one's status, it would be pretty good to be a wealthy man.

Not only can they support their family soldiers and serfs and protect themselves, but they can also live in peace with the world and be self-sufficient, making them very suitable for retirement.

Of course, the disadvantages of being rich are also obvious.

Once someone in a high position of power wants to take advantage of them, they don't have much ability to resist.

That's why the other party is so polite to me.

Sitting under the apricot tree in the main courtyard, Lu Bu drank a sip of herbal tea and started chatting with Qiao Hua:

“I have heard of Mr. Qiao’s great name for a long time. After finishing my official business two days ago, I came to visit him without stopping.

"It's just a small gift, I hope Mr. Qiao will accept it."

As he spoke, Lu Bu looked at Wei Yan who was standing beside him. Wei Yan was holding a small wooden box that was 30 centimeters long, wide, and high, and placed it in front of Qiao Hua with an indifferent expression.

The moment the box was opened, a flash of golden light made Qiao Hua squint his eyes.

Inside were actually ingots of brightly colored horseshoe gold!

Qiao Hua looked at Lu Bu and smiled happily:
"If you have any questions, please tell me. If I can help, I will do my best."

Lu Bu immediately stood up and waved to the soldiers behind him.

The soldier immediately brought two red-painted bird cages with two wild geese inside.

In addition, the soldiers in the rear carried two large boxes filled with various silks, satins and other valuable gifts.

Seeing such a scene, Qiao Hua immediately understood the other party's intention.

This is to propose to him!

He had thought that the other party would come to establish a closer relationship with him, or ask him to borrow troops and food.

But I never expected that the other party would come directly to propose marriage...

Lu Bu looked at Qiao Hua's stunned expression, smiled and bowed:

"As early as when I was in Chang'an, I heard that Mr. Qiao had two beloved daughters, Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, who were both extremely beautiful.

"I have done a great service in killing the thief Dong, and Your Majesty asked me what kind of reward I would like.

"I will ask Your Majesty to appoint me as the governor of Lujiang, so that I can marry your daughter.

"I wonder if Mr. Qiao can agree to my request?"

Qiao Hua looked at the man in front of him who was only a few years younger than him, and was stunned and speechless for a moment.

I've heard that Lu Bu is a lustful man. After seeing him today, I find that his reputation is indeed true.

Not to mention whether the other party is sincere in proposing marriage.

If he and the other party really became father-in-law and son-in-law, not to mention his daughter, even the entire Qiao family would be implicated.

This guy is really insidious.

However, Qiao Hua looked carefully at the man in front of him.

He is quite handsome, and has a completely different style from Zhou Yu.

Lu Bu is brave and extraordinary, while Zhou Lang is elegant and handsome.

In comparison, he is more like Lu Bu in appearance.

Because military generals have more obvious individual advantages than civil officials. They are not only strong but also have the ability to protect their wives.

Generally speaking, they are much better at giving birth than civil servants, and they themselves are less likely to get sick.

Throughout history, people with strong bodies tend to live longer than those with weak temperaments.

Most of those who died early were literati.

Moreover, the other party was very polite this time and not as rude as imagined.

But he was reluctant to agree to the other party directly.

Seeing that Qiao Hua did not respond, Lu Bu immediately knelt on one knee and said loudly:

"I have been wandering for half my life and have never met a wise father. If you don't abandon me, I am willing to be your father-in-law!

"From now on, the affairs of the Qiao family will be my business. I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Seeing the mountain-like man suddenly kneeling on the ground, Qiao Hua was filled with surprise. He never expected that the other party would show such a great courtesy.

Feeling quite pleased, he quickly held onto Lu Bu's shoulders and said with great trepidation:

"Why do you need to perform such a grand ceremony, Governor? Please stand up quickly!"

Lu Bu shook his head firmly:
"If Mr. Qiao doesn't agree, Lu Bu won't get up!"

Looking at this guy's shameless appearance, Qiao Hua couldn't help but sigh:

"Qiao didn't say no, Your Excellency, please stand up first, and let's discuss this in detail..."
