Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

It is already mid-August, and this day happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the backyard of the palace, Zhang Mo stood at the door, watching Mei Niang busy arranging the incense table and tributes. She frowned and suddenly remembered the story of "Diao Chan worshiping the moon".

She looked up at the sky. A bright full moon had just risen, and the surroundings were clean, without a single cloud.

"My lady, you are still standing there like an idiot. Go and dress up! The moon worship is about to begin."

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival was popular in the Han Dynasty, it was not an important festival. As the saying goes, "Men do not worship the moon, and women do not worship the kitchen god." Worshiping the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival was only an activity for girls. At present, there was only one hostess in the palace, Zhang Mo, so the incense table for worshiping the moon was naturally set up in her own yard.

"Why dress up to worship the moon?"

Zhang Mo walked to the incense table and knelt on the cushion. She wanted to see if any clouds would float over and block the moon.

Mei Niang hurriedly pulled her up and said, "Wait, the mooncakes you asked Mei Xiang to make haven't been served yet."

Then he shouted towards the kitchen, "Meixiang, are you done?"

"OK OK!"

Meixiang came running out with a plate in her hand.

"This mooncake looks delicious. I never knew flour could be ground so finely. It will definitely not scratch my throat when I eat it."

Zhang Mo said, "It's just ground a few more times. Oh, by the way, pack a portion and send it to the front yard for your adoptive father to try. Take a few more to Zhang's house, and give the rest to Anren, Ah Chu and the others."

"Okay!" Meixiang responded and went to deliver the mooncakes.

After everything was arranged, Zhang Mo followed Mei Niang's instructions, lighting the incense burner, offering wine, and reciting prayers. It seemed complicated, but it was actually done in a moment.

Just after finishing a series of sacrifices, Wang Ding suddenly came to visit and said excitedly, "Sister, come on, I'll take you to the lake to enjoy the moon."

"Riding the lake? Just the two of us?"

"Of course there are others. I thought you didn't have many friends in Jinyang, so I'll take you to meet some people. My sister will also be attending a gathering of noble ladies in the future. Arui, the sister of Li Changshi, is the same age as you, so you should get to know her first."

Wang Ding handed her a bundle and said, "I have a dress tailor-made for you. Go put it on and dress up nicely."

Zhang Mo had no interest in boating and wanted to refuse, but when she looked at the bag in her hand, she saw that her third brother had prepared clothes for her, so it would be too disrespectful not to go.

Back in the house, Mei Niang helped Zhang Mo change her clothes and combed her hair into a bun. She divided her hair into two strands, tied them on top of her head, let them hang down naturally, and then tied the ends to hang on her shoulders. She pinned a moon-white plum blossom in the bun.

"The lady is naturally beautiful. With a little dressing up, she is already stunningly beautiful. If she goes out, she will surely make many women jealous and men admire her."

Looking at the beautiful person in the bronze mirror, Mei Niang smiled so much that her crow's feet wrinkled.

"That's not an exaggeration. I'm only eleven years old!"

Mei Niang said, "It's not small anymore, my lady is tall."

She smiled and glanced at Zhang Mo's slightly bulging chest. "Here he's grown too. He looks twelve or thirteen years old. In another year or two, I'm afraid the man who wants to marry him will..."

At this point, Mei Niang suddenly sighed, "What a pity! Madam is such a good person, and in the future... I don't know what the master of the family is thinking. There are so many beautiful women in the world, why does he insist on making Madam an actress? Although Mei Niang has no education, I can see that Madam is someone who will do great things. What a pity..."

"Mei Niang, there's no need to sigh. Who can predict the future?"

Zhang Mo dressed up and went to Jinhu with Wang Ding. Meixiang came to Zhang's house with a basket of mooncakes.

Lu Bu was reading a book in the house, but he seemed a little absent-minded. He looked out when he heard any movement outside.

Seeing Meixiang coming from the Moon Gate, Lu Bu's eyes lit up. He dropped the bamboo slips and stood up, took a step, thought for a moment, and sat down again, continuing to read.

Meixiang stood outside the window and bowed, then passed the basket in from the windowsill and said, "These are mooncakes made by my wife. I specially asked this servant to bring them to you, my benefactor, to taste."

Lu Bu glanced at the basket, "Did she make it herself?"

"I guess so. My mistress taught me to do it."

Wei Xu, who was in the next room, heard the noise and opened the door. Seeing the mooncake on the windowsill, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he said, "This cake is well made. It is delicate and soft and melts in your mouth."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again. Lu Bu was quick-witted and took the whole basket away with his long arm. "Just eat one piece. Amo made this for me."

Wei Xu smacked his lips and rolled his eyes at him, "Stingy!"

Seeing Lu Bu's look of great joy, Meixiang smiled secretly and said, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Wait!" Lu Bu called her, "What are you doing, Amo?"

"My wife and the third young master went boating on the lake."

"Riding the lake? Just the two of them?" Lu Bu frowned slightly. The Third Young Master Wang had a devilish face, and A-Mo was not related to him by blood. Could it be possible that...

Mei Xiang said, "No, there are others. The Third Young Master said he would take my wife to meet some friends."

"I understand." Lu Bu waved at her and ate mooncakes while reading a book, but he became more and more irritated.

He stood up, opened the door and went out. As soon as he reached the door, he turned back and changed into Qizhan's black brocade robe with cloud patterns, and called Wei Xu to go boating with him.

Wei Xu was naturally happy to be able to go out and play. The two of them did not ride horses, but walked towards Jin Lake while enjoying the moon.

They had originally gone out for a walk, but Lü Bu's steps seemed extremely anxious. Wei Xu jokingly said, "Brother-in-law, you don't want to go boating, you want to go find Amo, right?"

His thoughts exposed, Lu Bu admitted generously, "So what?"

Wei Xu looked gossipy, "Brother-in-law, do you really like that girl?"

Lu Bu nodded. "Amo gives me a different feeling than the other women I've met before. I feel very comfortable with her."

"Amo is a nice person, and I feel very comfortable with her..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Bu suddenly flicked his forehead with a finger. Lu Bu warned him, "You are not allowed to have any improper thoughts about her."

Wei Xu covered his forehead and cried out in injustice, "How dare I? I'm not afraid of being beaten to death by you."

Lu Bu snorted coldly, "I'm glad you know!"

The two men came to Jin Lake. Lu Bu walked along the lakeside and walked less than halfway when he saw Zhang Mo standing alone and talking with a young man under a big willow tree in the distance.

Lu Bu's face darkened instantly. He walked over and pulled Zhang Mo up, then said coldly, "Have you forgotten that you have a fiancé?"

Zhang Mo: ...

juvenile:……

Without giving them time to react, Lu Bu pulled Zhang Mo and turned away.

"Hey, what are you doing? When did I have a fiancé?" Zhang Mo came back to her senses and looked at him in confusion.

Did this person take the wrong medicine today?

Lu Bu pointed at himself and said, "From today on, I am your fiancé. You are not allowed to flirt with other men anymore, or I will beat anyone I see."

"You, what did you say?" Zhang Mo was stunned. What's wrong with this guy?

Lü Bu was afraid of scaring Amo, so he didn't want to express his feelings so early. But now that he had said it, he didn't hide it and said directly, "I like you very much. I like you and I want to marry you in the future. From now on, I am your fiancé."

He glanced at the corner of his eye and saw that the young man had actually caught up with several servants. He directly picked up Zhang Mo and carried her horizontally. He said to Wei Xu, "Ah Xu, teach that brat a lesson."

"As ordered!"

Wei Xu rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight. Zhang Mo came back to her senses from the surprise of the confession and hurriedly said, "Stop, no fighting, no fighting!"

Lu Bu's eyes turned cold, "You're protecting him?"

"No, what are you thinking about?"

Zhang Mo glared at him angrily and whispered, "You are still a wanted criminal. Don't cause trouble for me. If your identity is discovered, you will not be able to stay in Jinyang."

Hearing her say this, Lu Bu's expression relaxed. "Since you are thinking about me, let him go today."

Zhang Mo turned to the young man and said, "Brother Li, I received your apology. You can go back. This is one of my own."

When the young man heard her say this, he knew that he had misunderstood. He looked at Lu Bu in surprise, bowed, and led his men away.

We're one of them! Lu Bu smiled with satisfaction, and was about to go back with Zhang Mo in his arms. Zhang Mo hurriedly said, "My third brother is over there in the carriage. Please let me down, and I'll go back to the palace with him."

Lü Bu said to Wei Xu, "Go and tell the Third Young Master that I'm sending Amo back."

Wei Xu chuckled and disappeared quickly.
