Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 656 I Want to Know You

During this banquet, Dong Bai kept his eyes half-closed, looking like Zhen Mi, his mind didn't seem to be on the party at all.She was playing with a jade seal in her hand, and that jade seal represented the power she could control under Yuan Shao's command.The jade seal is simple but has a hidden brilliance, it is obviously a piece of high-quality beautiful jade, but Dong Bai frowned, he should be thinking about other things.

However, when she overheard the conversation between Liu Shi and Zhen Mi, she suddenly opened her eyes: as a woman, especially a woman that is not tolerated in this era, Dong Bai has nowhere to express the depression in his heart.She felt that the only person she could talk to was the young man in Chang'an Weiyang Palace.That young man has a rare tolerance and understanding for women of this era.

But today, when she heard Zhen Mi's words, she felt like she had found someone who was in the same boat.Wei Wei opened her mouth, but the words on her lips did not come out after all.Because, at this time, she also saw Liu Shi's jealous eyes.

Dong Bai was extremely troubled by that gaze.But unfortunately, she couldn't and didn't bother to explain to Liu Shi.

And the reason Liu cast such hostile eyes on Dong Bai was not because Dong Bai's eldest father, Dong Zhuo, was the enemy of the Yuan family.Although Dong Zhuozhu killed Yuan's family in Luoyang at the beginning, the hatred between the two families could be said to be endless, but Yuan Shao kept silent about this for the sake of the common enemy at present. Therefore, he hated Dong Bai.

The real reason why Mrs. Liu hated Dong Bai was that Mrs. Liu felt that her husband had unreasonable thoughts about Dong Bai with the unique sensitivity of a woman!
"Okay, let this dancer go down. It's hard to be an elegant dancer. It's fresh after watching one song, but you'll get bored after watching too much." , and can't help insinuating.

Afterwards, she turned her head and looked at Dong Bai without hesitation.She really didn't know what her husband liked about this woman - although Dong Bai had fair skin and delicate features, she was full of youthful vigor.But in Liu's opinion, Dong Bai's appearance is too delicate and resolute, and also has a kind of wild and untamed foreign vulgarity.In particular, her high cheekbones and long nose, and the brown pupils in the deep eyes, compared with the black and white eyes of the Han women, which are like autumn waters, Liu Shi dislikes the most.

Although, after 800 years later, the appearance of a mixed race like Dong Bai is very popular in the world.But it's a pity that in Confucian orthodox culture, a woman like him is a vulgar and unrefined person.It is also because of this that Liu deliberately confused the Qipanwu with Dong Bai, and secretly ridiculed Dong Bai.

And Liu's suspicion was not unfounded.Today's banquet is not strictly a Yuan family gathering.But even Zhen Mi would most likely be a member of the Yuan family in the future. Of course, Dong Bai was not invited by the Liu family this time, but Yuan Shao specially invited her here.

Coupled with the fact that Yuan Shao often called Dong Bai these days, Liu would not believe it, the two were just talking about the general trend of the world.

The only possibility is that after defeating Gongsun Zan, her husband became complacent.Even if Liu doesn't study, he will naturally know the mind of a man.For a man, a wife is always inferior to a concubine, and a concubine is inferior to stealing, especially after Dong Bai is Yuan's enemy, conquering such a woman will give a man a sense of accomplishment beyond taboos.

But what is the identity of the Yuan family, a big family of four generations and three lords, if Yuan Shao really made a big joke, what would the Hebei gentry think?
The more Liu thought about this, the angrier she became, but she had the same temperament as her second son Yuan Xi, kind and cowardly.She didn't dare to question Yuan Shao face to face, so she could only beat Dong Bai like this, to make him retreat when he knows the difficulty.

Dong Bai completely ignored Liu's sarcasm. In her opinion, although Liu's kind of woman is expensive and luxurious, she has no thought at all, and her life is nothing more than a tool for men to give birth to offspring.Even though he seems to be in charge of the Yuan family's back house, he is actually just a fool poisoned by patriarchal ideology.

However, Dong Bai didn't mind, but the dancer in the courtyard couldn't stay silent.She came here today with a mission, although she didn't know why Mrs. Liu suddenly changed color, she hurriedly moved towards the main hall, with a wave of her arms, she threw the two peach branches in her hand towards the seats of the family members.

This peach branch has a name, called "Tao Rui".It is said that if a woman receives this branch and conceives and gives birth to an heir, her future will be unspeakable.Family members of rich families will arrange such a dance to show auspiciousness.This was supposed to be a project at the end of the song, but was interrupted by Liu Shi, she had to be bold enough to finish it as soon as possible.

As Tao Rui was thrown out, all the married but not pregnant women in the hall got up and wanted to pick it up, yelling.But the peach branch seemed to be held by some invisible hand, and it flew in the air for a while, and fell into the hands of Zhen Mi and Dong Bai respectively.

All of a sudden, the eyes of the whole courtyard were on Zhen Mi and Dong Bai.Zhen Mi didn't understand what was going on at first, she lowered her head and saw "Tao Rui" falling in front of her, her expression changed suddenly, she dodged without a trace, and let others pick it up.

As for Dong Bai, holding the peach branch with a dazed expression on his face, although she is a descendant of a prominent family in Lintao, she was not allowed to watch this kind of dance when she was a child.After a little longer, he followed Dong Zhuo into Luoyang and Chang'an, enjoying court dances, how could he understand the meaning of "Tao Rui"?

So, she asked Zhen Mi: "Why did she throw this peach branch at me?"

Zhen Mi rolled her eyes, seeing Dong Bai still combing her girlish bun, and cleverly explained: "This is Tao Rui, which is given to married women, and it has the meaning of wishing their children prosperity and peace. I am not yet married, so naturally I can't." It is so beautiful, my sister should also give this peach branch to others."

Dong Bai's face immediately became angry when he heard this, of course she immediately understood why the peach branch fell into her hands.She wouldn't believe it at all if it wasn't for Yuan Shao's arrangement.Thinking that Yuan Shao, who claims to be the No. It will be valued by men. Forget about this kind of unwarranted blessing!"

When Liu saw Dong Bai's actions, she was immediately furious, but after hearing Dong Bai's words, she suddenly became thoughtful.She waved her hand, as if a little tired, said: "Let's stop here for tonight, I'm tired, it's time to rest."

As soon as Mrs. Liu opened her mouth, the banquet naturally ended hastily.But Dong Bai looked hesitant when he got up, but finally he couldn't help pulling Zhen Mi back and said, "I have some interesting things, do you want to see them?"

Zhen Mi seemed a little confused by Dong Bai's straightforward way of speaking.In fact, until this time, she didn't know Dong Bai's identity.Seeing that Dong Bai acted recklessly, and seeing that the Liu family had deep hostility towards Dong Bai, he naturally evaded and said: "Thanks to my sister for your kind invitation, but it is getting late, if you don't return, your family will inevitably miss you."

But at this time, Mrs. Liu, who had already turned around, turned around suddenly, and said for some unknown reason: "Since you two are destined, you can stay overnight. I don't have any male relatives in this mansion. Don't worry about your family. I'll send someone to deliver a message later."

Zhen Mi tilted her head, not knowing how much trouble was going on in the back house of the Yuan Mansion, but she clearly showed interest.Hearing Mrs. Liu's opening, he gave a slight bow and said, "Then it's bothering you."

Zhen Mi and Dong Bai twisted and walked into a courtyard, and then entered the room, their eyes lit up immediately.In Dong Bai's room, there were no decorations such as women's red qin incense and other decorations. There were various weapons hanging on the weapons, and even behind the table were all kinds of books and bamboo slips. Papers were scattered.

And the whole room, the most eye-catching, is a huge plan, waist height.It was covered with a white cloth, but it was uneven, and I didn't know what was going on inside.

After Dong Bai walked into the room, he loosened the bun on his head at will, and combed a simple and relaxed ponytail.After taking off some of the bundled clothes and throwing out some hidden weapons for self-defense, a nobleman in the inner house suddenly went for a heroine with the demeanor of a man in the world, which made Zhen Mi stunned for a moment.

"I want you to read it, other women may not be able to understand it." Dong Bai stretched out his hand and pinched the corner of the white cloth, looked back at Zhen Mi and smiled slightly: "But I believe that not only can you understand it, but you will also be very interested in it." interest."

After finishing speaking, Dong Bai lifted the white cloth, revealing a large area of ​​mountains, rivers and rivers in front of Zhen Mi's eyes.The densely packed flags, terracotta warriors, and even city passes on the mountains and rivers are all lifelike and distributed in proportion.The entire fourteen prefectures of Han Dynasty seemed to be condensed in front of Zhen Mi's eyes.

At this time, it opened up another world in Zhen Mi's heart.
