043 The Disappearing Matchmaker

Even though Chen is smart, she has the limitations of the times and cannot be as accurate as Long Xiong, so her confidence is not worth mentioning.

A few days later, Yuan Shu's envoy arrived in Xia Pi and temporarily settled in the inn waiting for reception.

Lu Bu first summoned Qin Yilu to ask about the details of Huainan, but Qin Yilu was in Xia Pi and knew more about it.

When Lu Bu learned that Yuan Shu was not suspicious, he was still anxious at this time, as if a student who had lost his winter vacation homework, he didn't know how to face the teacher's examination.

Qin Yilu left, and Lu Bu stared at Chen Gong with his head in a straight corner.

How to deal with Yuan Shu's envoy? Lu Bu had to rely on his intelligence at this time.

"Public platform, you haven't led the snake out of the hole yet, Yuan Shu sent someone to urge him..."

"I underestimated that villain. Maybe he simply wanted to find revenge on Han Yin..."

Seeing that Chen Gong was short-short and poor in his words, Lu Bu rubbed his hands and reminded him: "The new envoy has arrived in Xia Pi, so you can't just stop seeing him, right? What do you say about Han Yin? Get an idea quickly."

"After so long, Han Yin is probably gone..."

Chen Gong looked solemn and stroked his beard and said, "For the sake of the present, the general can only send his daughter to Shouchun to get married soon."

Lu Bu asked: "What about Han Yin? How do you explain to Yuan Shu?"

"Han Yin is just a matchmaker, and he can use the excuse that he left Xia Pi because he missed his family. As for why he didn't return to Shouchun, we don't need to explain. As long as the lady successfully married into the Yuan family, Yuan Shu would not pursue it..." Chen Gong's lips raised slightly.

Lu Bu looked serious and said affirmatively: "It seems that this is the only way to go. When is it appropriate to set off? Choose a good day for me."

"The faster you have to be, the better. As for the auspicious day and good time, Yuan Shu will be slow, and the night will be long and the dreams will be long..." Chen Gong shook his head.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to prepare the dowry immediately and set off in three days."

After Lu Bu said that, he turned around and left the house. His wife Yan was reluctant to let her daughter marry far away, and he still needed some comfort.

After three days of agreement, the prefect's entourage was arranged to take out the bride, and Chen Gong easily used lies to evade the messenger.

The news that Lu Bu married his daughter soon spread to Chen Mansion in Xiapi.

When Chen Gui heard the news, he called Chen Deng and instructed: "You will go to the prefect's mansion tomorrow and say that you will be the birthday of your father next day. Please ask Lu Bu to go to the mansion for a brief discussion."

"Ah? Didn't my father's birthday be on the eighth day of the sixth lunar month? It's still in the first lunar month..." Chen Deng didn't understand.

Chen Gui stroked his beard and asked, "Is that right? Your grandparents are not alive, who knows better than being a father? I said that the next day is the next day. We have endured for several months and it is time to do something."

"I understand." Chen Deng understood at one point.

Chen Deng posted a post on the second day, and Lu Bu came to celebrate his birthday with gifts on the third day.

Chen Deng welcomed Lu Bu to the front hall, and Chen Gui hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Wen Hou can come to the banquet in his busy schedule, so that the magnificent house of my husband will be shining..."

"The state affairs have been complicated recently, and I have moved less with the doctor. Bu felt deeply frightened. Today, I took the opportunity of the doctor's birthday party and gave me some cups of praise." Lu Bu smiled and clasped his fists to return the greeting.

Due to Han Yin's disappearance and the impact of the cold weather in winter, Lu Bu and the Chen family lost their past closeness. In fact, both sides were as clear as mirrors, but no one took the initiative to break the window paper.

"Although I can't bear to drink, I am happy to see Mr. Wen today. I will definitely sacrifice my life to get drunk later. Please come in." Chen Gui waved politely.

Lu Bu also responded politely: "Please, doctor."

No one was invited to the birthday party that day. After the Chen family and his son took turns to toasting with Lu Bu, most of the estrangement caused by Han Yin was resolved by the drunkenness.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Chen Gui took the initiative to raise the topic: "I heard from Yuan Long that Mr. Wen is preparing a dowry for his daughter? When will he send his bride out of the city?"

"It's tomorrow." Lu Bu answered with a true word.

Chen Gui pretended to be surprised and hurriedly asked: "Why are you so anxious? Are you looking for someone to count on your life? Is it auspicious tomorrow?"

Lu Bu shook his head gently, "It doesn't matter whether the auspicious day or not, wait until Shouchun has Yuan Highway to choose a date."

"Well? I heard that Yuan Shu had usurped the throne and became the emperor, so could his crown prince accept the concubine so hasty?" Chen Gui said again.

Lu Bu was very drunk and didn't get too excited. After hearing Chen Gui's words, he suddenly became alert.

The old guy is making trouble again? I don’t have any wits to come out of the gate and shoot the halberd? Is Lu Bu so easy to provoke?

"Now I am in a chaotic world, I cannot be completely confined to ancient methods. When my son arrives in Shouchun a few days, Yuan Gonglu will follow the courtesy, so why worry? Today is the birthday party of the doctor. Let's drink happily and not talk about other bad things." After saying that, Lu Bu raised his glass and toasted again.

Chen Deng originally planned to interrupt and argue, but Chen Gui took the lead.

"Mr. Wen said very well, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so we must have a good time to drink. In addition, Mar. Wen's marriage is a great joy, so I must send a gift.

Yuanlong, you go and prepare first, and I will take Wen Hou to pick it up later."

"Which." Chen Deng left the seat and said goodbye.

"The doctor is so polite. If it weren't for the Chen family's righteous resources last year, the athletes under their command might have gone hungry for winter..."

Seeing Chen Gui so open-minded, Lu Bu felt a little embarrassed.

Chen Gui responded with a smile: "Wen Hou has to protect the safety of Xuzhou, and it is also necessary to fund some food. If you have any difficulties in the future, come to me. I will do my best to help you."

"Doctor Ende...Lu Bu...I'll give you another glass of wine."

Although Chen Gui may be talking to him, he is not afraid of leaving Lu Bu with something. He will definitely come when he encounters difficulties, so he toasts sincerely.

The two were six minutes drunk. Chen Deng returned and told the congratulations that the gift was ready. Chen Gui stood up and invited Lu Bu to pick it up.

Chen Deng led the way ahead, and Lu Bu supported Chen Gui and followed behind him.

The three of them slowly walked through the courtyard corridor, walked through the winding path, and came to a corner of the garden northeast of the mansion.

There is a small house similar to a wood-room in the corner, and there are two villager guarding them with sticks outside. Lu Bu thinks there is something strange here.

"Doctor, what kind of valuable thing is it..."

Lu Bu pointed at the hut and looked curious.

"Wenhou will know right away."

Chen Gui smiled slightly at first, then waved to the guard and ordered: "Open."

"only."

Lu Bu followed in with curiosity and found that it was actually a small prison.

On the front is a row of fences made of logs, with a prisoner with disheveled hair locked in the fence, squatting on the ground and gnawing raw radishes.

With the light from the door opening, Lu Bu found that the prisoner in front of him was as thin as a child.

While guessing the other party's identity, the other party's skinny body suddenly stiffened. The man lifted the messy hair on his forehead and looked at the tall and mighty Lu Bu in tears.

Suddenly, the prisoner threw away the fragrant radish and sat on the ground and burst into tears.

"Wen Hou..."

"Doctor, he is..."

Lu Bu pointed at the prisoner and looked confused, thinking who is this guy?

Chen Gui stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "Don't you know Mr. Wen? This person is Yuan Shu's marriage envoy Han Yin. Marquis Wen wants to marry his daughter to Shouchun, but he won't be able to leave the matchmaker."

"Doctor, you privately arrested Han Yin here, what do you want to do?"

Lu Bu's face suddenly changed, and his tone was questioning.

Chen Deng hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "General, please listen to my explanation. Mr. Han was robbed last year. I accidentally rescued him. Don't blame the good guys for mistakenly."
