Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Half a month later, Lu Bu and Dong Qing got married. Dong Zhuo had always loved Dong Qing, and since he was now a marquis, the wedding was held with great fanfare, with nearly a thousand guests invited. Dong Zhuo held the banquet at Dong's house on the grounds that Lu's house was too small to accommodate them all.

This made Lu Bu's already unhappy mood even more depressed. What did this mean? People who didn't know the truth thought that he, Lu Bu, had become someone's son-in-law.

Li Su looked at Lü Bu's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and said with a smile, "My lord, perhaps you haven't thought of this. You just want to make a big fuss to save your face."

"He's pretending to be ignorant even though he knows the truth. Who in Mei County would recognize me, Lü Bu? What's there to be proud of? He deliberately invited so many people and told me at the last minute that the wedding would be held at the Dong Mansion. He was telling others that I was marrying into the family."

At this moment, Lu Bu's favorability towards Dong Zhuo dropped two levels. He suddenly felt that Dong Zhuo was being nice to him perhaps because he wanted him to marry into his family's family.

Li Su asked curiously, "Isn't the bridal chamber located in the Lu Mansion? Once we bring the person back and perform the formalities, everyone will understand. You are now the most valued by the lord, so don't upset him over such a small matter. Go and get the person!"

Lu Bu said with an ugly expression, "Who did you make unhappy? I'm the most unhappy person. It was clearly that bitch Dong Qing who shamelessly climbed into my bed, and in the end it became my fault. I clearly didn't do anything. If it weren't for..."

At this point, he suddenly sighed. He did not choose to leave at that time. Even if he admitted that it was his fault, he could only endure the humiliation now. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo really valued him, otherwise he would not be able to bear this humiliation.

Li Su looked embarrassed and laughed dryly before saying, "Don't keep calling her a bitch. If outsiders hear this, something bad might happen. Since you've decided to marry her, try to treat her well. Although the lady is a bit domineering, she's really good to you."

Lu Bu looked at Li Su suspiciously, "Why are you always speaking in her favor? Did she bribe you to speak well of her?"

Li Su's expression suddenly froze, his eyes rolling around, and then he said unhappily, "I was thinking about you, but you suspect I accepted bribes from the Madam. Even if I did accept her favors, wasn't I saying this for your future? What good does it do you to give her a hard time, or even to the lord? You don't know how to appreciate kindness. I'm too lazy to say anything. It's up to you to go to the wedding or not."

As Lü Bu put on the bridegroom's purple outer garment, he said, "I know you're doing this for my own good, but I really detest this woman. Don't speak well of her in front of me in the future; it's annoying. Also, don't call her Madam in private."

In fact, Lu Bu was just complaining. Things had come to this point and the marriage had to happen.

Hearing that Lu Bu didn't mean that, Li Su's expression relaxed and he chuckled, "I see. You only like the woman named Amo in your heart."

At the same time, Wu Shi in Dong Mansion was also talking to Dong Zhuo about holding the wedding banquet in Dong Mansion.

"What do you mean, husband? Do you want Fengxian to marry into your family?" Wu said with a little dissatisfaction.

In Wu's view, her daughter's happiness is the most important, and Dong Zhuo's temporary change of the wedding banquet to Dong's residence will only make Lu Bu unhappy, and if Lu Bu is unhappy, her daughter will be unhappy.

Dong Zhuo sighed and said, "I have had this thought before. I have taken in many concubines in the past few months, but none of them have conceived. Now that I am over fifty years old, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to have an heir. Although I can adopt a son from my family, after all, he is not as close as my own grandson."

"Has your husband mentioned this to Fengxian?"

Dong Zhuo shook his head. "Given Fengxian's personality, if I were to ask him to marry into my family, he would probably leave Mei County immediately. So I wanted to hold the wedding here to test his attitude. If I have many sons in the future, I want one to come here and change the surname to Dong. After I die, the Dong family business will be passed on to this son. Although he has the surname Dong, he is also Fengxian's bloodline, so I don't have to worry about him taking it away."

"Fengxian is far more capable than Zizuo! With him, we can ensure the prosperity of the Dong family for a hundred years. I have also considered letting Bai'er find a son-in-law, but the generals under my command are not quiet people, I am afraid I can't keep them in check."

Wu rolled her eyes. "How is that different from giving it directly to Fengxian?"

"Of course it's different. The surname Dong is included in my Dong family tree. Although I am of Fengxian blood, I am also a member of my Dong family."

"What if Fengxian disagrees?"

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "I have my own way to make him agree."

Mrs. Wu nodded. "It would be best if he agrees. Qing'er's child also has half Dong's blood, so he is closer than the children of the clan."

At this point, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but sigh again, "What sins did I commit in my previous life? Why is it so difficult for me to have children? Among my three brothers, only my eldest brother has a son. Our son was unlucky and died before you and me, leaving behind only one daughter. My younger brother Min has been married for several years, but he only has two daughters and has not had any more children in the past few years. If I had more sons and nephews, why would I need Qing'er's children to inherit the family business?"

Wu Madam worriedly said, "Since my husband wants to adopt Fengxian's son, he should treat him well in the future. It's really inappropriate to hold this banquet at Dong's residence today."

Dong Zhuo was a little impatient, "What's wrong with that? I'm just trying to make him look good."

At this time, a servant reported that the wedding procession had arrived, so Dong Zhuo stopped talking and went out with his wife.

Because Dong Zhuo had been granted the title of marquis, the scale of Dong Qing's marriage and the liveliness of her wedding far exceeded those of Dong Lian's. The dowry alone was worth 800,000 coins, and she also had carriages, horses, and dozens of slaves and servants. In addition, Dong Zhuo held the banquet at Dong's mansion, which made generals such as Niu Fu jealous and envious.

Lu Bu took the bride back to Lu Mansion to perform the ceremony, and then went back to Dong Mansion for social events. Fearing that she would lose control of her body after drinking, he didn't drink much today, but pretended to be drunk. When he returned to the bridal chamber, he didn't even do the last step of the ceremony and fell asleep.

Dong Qing felt quite regretful that there was no communication on the wedding night, but since he was already married and there was still a long time to come, she did not force it. As long as Lu Bu was willing to treat her well, she would be satisfied.

…………

After the wedding, Lu Bu became half a member of the Dong family. Dong Zhuo suddenly allocated two thousand soldiers to him without any military merit, which made the people in the army more and more dissatisfied with him.

Duan Wei was no longer indifferent and began to pay attention to Lu Bu intentionally or unintentionally, and occasionally agreed with Niu Fu and others during military meetings.

Niu Fu was quite resentful of Dong Zhuo's favoritism towards Lu Bu. He completely listed Lu Bu as a hostile force and began to work hard to become stronger.

Hu Zhen was more hostile to Lu Bu than before, and would often say that he relied on women to get to his position.

Dong Yue, on the contrary, began to remain neutral, but he set his sights on the only male of the next generation of the Dong family - Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Huang. Although Dong Huang was not leading an army now, he always felt that Dong Zhuo would never give the family business to an outsider.

Hua Xiong, Li Que, Guo Si and others also had opinions about Lu Bu. Although Lu Bu defeated two rebel armies at Wangyuan and won the first place in the competition with Hu Zhen and Niu Fu, these did not show his ability as a commander. Now he has suddenly become the number one in the army, leading 4,000 troops, while these old men who have followed their lord for a long time and have made great military achievements are still just military officers. How can they accept this?

In addition to these people, some middle and lower-level officers in the army also had different attitudes towards Lu Bu. Some were dissatisfied, some flattered him, and some despised him. After all, everyone in the army knew that Lu Bu had forced Dong Qing to sleep with him before his marriage. Many people believed that Lu Bu was actually a sinister villain who would do anything to gain the favor of his lord.

Lu Bu did not care about the attitudes of the outside world. In his opinion, the rebels in Liang Province would sooner or later attack Sanfu. As long as Dong Zhuo gave him a chance to fight, he could make everyone understand that he, Lu Fengxian, deserved to lead these troops.

What he is more concerned about now is the situation in Bingzhou. At the end of this year, the Southern Xiongnu will launch a large-scale attack on Bingzhou. Next year, the Baibo bandits will also start an uprising in Hedong County and attack Taiyuan County. Coupled with the Black Mountain bandits in the east, Bingzhou can be said to be in dire straits.

Although Wenyuan is very talented, he is young after all and has not experienced large-scale battles. Lu Bu cannot be completely at ease. If Wenyuan is defeated, Bingzhou will completely become the territory of the Southern Xiongnu.

Dong Zhuo was unwilling to go to Liang Province, so what about Bing Province? The Southern Xiongnu were much easier to defeat than the Liang Province rebels. He remembered that after Ding Yuan was transferred to Luoyang as the Prefect of the Imperial Guards, Dong Zhuo had succeeded him as the Governor of Bing Province. Why not let Dong Zhuo take over directly after Zhang Yi's death?

However, Dong Zhuo looked down on Liang Province and might not be interested in Bing Province either. He had to think carefully about how to persuade Dong Zhuo to request to go to Bing Province to fight the Huns after Zhang Yi's death.
