Chapter 173 Liu Bei Marries Three Families
At this point, Madam Wu began to complain, placing all the blame on Liu Hong. Then she said to Liu Bei, "This is all your father's fault. He married me and started his family fortune a little too late. Otherwise, my son might have grown up to be as kind and handsome as other men in the womb."
"Mother."
Upon hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but touch his face.
Among the clans of the imperial city of Luoyang.
He has always been praised for his auspicious appearance, even Xu You has praised him highly. How come he seems to be so inferior to his mother?
Liu Hong glanced at Wu Shi, and only then did Wu Shi stop talking. At least she knew some basic propriety.
Guo Jia could only manage a wry smile at this point.
Although he was handsome, he absolutely did not want others to see only his face.
His talent and what he learned throughout his life at Yingchuan Academy were what he was most proud of; as for other things, he didn't really care that much.
"Thank you for your kind words, Madam."
Guo Jia quickly replied.
"You are a well-behaved and sensible child. In the future, Xuande will spend more time with you and will surely learn your excellent qualities."
Wu continued to praise him, and in just a few words, she seemed to have praised Guo Fengxiao to the skies, saying that he was unparalleled in heaven and earth, and few could compare to him.
Liu Hong coughed lightly a few times before taking the initiative to interrupt the topic; otherwise, he really didn't know what kind of things he would be said about him.
"Alright, you should go back first. There are still many things in this house that need your attention."
When Liu Hong spoke so frankly, Madam Wu understood his intentions and nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know."
.
Wu scolded him playfully, and then disappeared.
Guo Jia looked embarrassed and quietly withdrew. At this moment, Liu Hong also brought up the real political matter that had been discussed: "The Yuan family is willing to relinquish a portion of the power of the court and one of the Nine Ministers as compensation to the Liu family of Youzhou."
As for this Lady Yuan, it seems we can no longer back down, especially since the Yang and Wang families have also shown considerable sincerity. Now, our young master Liu is truly a highly sought-after figure in the imperial city of Luoyang.
Guo Jia smiled calmly, but his final gaze was fixed on Liu Bei, leaving Liu Bei momentarily embarrassed and at a loss for what to do.
Although he was not as handsome as Pan An, he still had a dashing appearance; otherwise, he would not be receiving such courteous treatment in the imperial city of Luoyang.
Liu Hong looked at Liu Bei, who immediately retorted, "I will obey Father's will in everything. It is the will of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, and I have no complaints."
Since Liu Bei compromised the first time, it would be only natural for him to compromise a second time, and he certainly wouldn't have any resentment.
Upon hearing this, Liu Hong nodded slightly: "Then let's continue to marry this Yuan woman, but let's also marry the Yang and Wang women as equal wives."
"What?"
Liu Bei was completely stunned for a moment, finding it truly hard to believe.
He asked his father to make the decision, and the father actually did so, which left him both amused and exasperated.
He wanted to say something at this moment, but he had already made his point completely, so it was really not appropriate to continue speaking. He just opened his mouth, his face extremely embarrassed, and then he couldn't help but look at Guo Jia.
As the last person in the inner quarters at this moment, he should still have some say.
Guo Jia kept his eyes down, a cunning smile like that of a fox on his face, and then obediently left, determined not to fall into this quagmire.
"My lord and young master, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Liu Hong nodded slightly, and in the blink of an eye, Guo Jia disappeared without a trace.
He certainly didn't want to get involved in this troublesome matter.
In the end, only the father and son remained.
"Father."
Liu Bei spoke.
Liu Hong ignored him and then shut him down with his own words: "Anyway, my son has already agreed, hasn't he? Since he has agreed, a man's word is his bond, and he absolutely cannot go back on his word. This is the ancestral precept of my Liu family."
Liu Hong spoke directly and formally, but these words could not deceive Liu Bei in front of him.
Liu Bei's gaze sharpened slightly, his expression becoming even more helpless: "Father, when has such talk ever been heard in the family? Moreover, even if our branch had ancestral precepts, they have probably been lost long ago during our wanderings."

"On a separate page of the family genealogy, your father's words will be the ancestral precepts."
Liu Hong spoke solemnly and then turned and left, leaving Liu Bei behind him dumbfounded.
Without a sound, the other two of the three brothers from the Peach Garden, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, also appeared here silently.
The two of them whispered to each other, "Brother, you should just give up like this. Going against our godfather will not bring you any good, even if you are the young master."
My father said that my adoptive father has the abilities of Emperor Guangwu, who revived the Han Dynasty. Continuing like this will not bring any benefits. It would be better for him to lie down and settle down; perhaps that would be a different kind of experience.
As Zhang Fei spoke, he gnawed on his large pig's trotter, looking remarkably reasonable and speaking like an old scholar.
Guan Yu, holding up the Spring and Autumn Annals, remarked, "Yide's words are quite reasonable; elder brother should consider them carefully."
We would never harm you, brother, so please rest assured.
Looking at their expressions, Liu Bei only felt that they were pure persuaders, his father's persuaders.
If Yuanzhi were added to the mix, perhaps I could give up completely.
Liu Bei thought to himself.
Just then, a series of footsteps suddenly approached, and then a figure in white came into view.
"Young Master, are you looking for me?"
Xu Shu smiled slightly.
Liu Bei stared in disbelief: "Yuanzhi, can you hear my thoughts?"
Xu Shu smiled faintly and shook his head: "Xuande is joking. I am not some otherworldly person, how could I have such divine abilities? However, Xuande has already spoken out, and I don't believe that Yunchang and Yide could hear it as well."
Under Xu Shu's guidance, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterward, Liu Bei was truly at a loss for words, as if he had no choice but to accept his fate.
"Heavens, why do you treat me like this?"
Subsequently, the Liu family also sent messages to the Yuan, Yang, and Wang families. Although this time the family married three women—one principal wife and two secondary wives—none of the families felt they had lost out.
