"What? You want me to marry a concubine? " Kuai Ran was also called to the study by Liu Mang and Kuai Liang. Lady Yanran was with Kuai Ran. Kuai Ran was shocked when he heard the news and couldn't believe his ears. "You want me to marry a concubine? Who do you want me to marry?" Kuai Ran asked an idiotic question.
However, the pain in his arm woke him up.
"Yes! Brother Kuai Ran, I want you to marry Lady Yanran! Lady Yanran, Brother Kuai, are you both willing? "Liu Mang smiled at Kuai Ran. Liu Mang believed that Kuai Ran would agree if he told him the news.
"Of course, of course!" Kuai Ran immediately agreed. He had liked Yan Ran for a long time. He had been going to brothels all day long and had almost become a freeloader. He was also penniless because of Yan Ran.
Yanran didn't say anything. After all, she was a girl and it was understandable that she was embarrassed. However, her blushing face told Liu Mang that she was willing.
Kuai Ran calmed down quickly. "Brother Wang, no, Your Highness King Of Shu, Uncle, I also want to marry Yanran, but my father is there!" Kuai Ran said to Liu Mang and Kuai Liang.
Hearing Kuai Ran's words, Yan Ran's eyes couldn't help but dim. The difference in status between the two was too great. Kuai Ran was the Kuai Clan's Young Master, the only successor of the Kuai Clan. In the future, he would control the entire Kuai Clan. On the other hand, Yan Ran was a romantic woman. It would be good if he played around with her. After all, it would be good if he played around with her. After all, it would bring about a scholarly scene.
However, he couldn't marry her. Even if Kuai Ran was willing, his father wouldn't. Even if his father agreed, Kuai Ran had to think about the family. A romantic woman like Yanran would bring shame to the entire Kuai Family.
"Ran Lang, there's no need for that. As long as I'm with you, it doesn't matter if I don't have a status!" Yan Ran was indeed the woman that Kuai Ran had fallen in love with. Even though she knew that there was no future for the two of them and that she had no status, she still comforted Kuai Ran.
"Yanran, I!" Kuai Ran's face was also red. He was really useless. He was a noble young master, but he couldn't give the woman he liked a status.
"Silly boy!" Kuai Liang patted Kuai Ran's shoulder. "I'll talk to your father! As for his identity? Haha! " Kuai Liang smiled as he pointed at Liu Mang and said, "With His Highness the King Of Shu here, do you still care about status?"
"His Highness the King Of Shu?!" Yan Ran was just a woman. Perhaps she didn't understand why this title was related to His Highness the King Of Shu. As for how this Young Master Wang Shu suddenly became His Highness the King Of Shu, Yan Ran was still confused.
"That's right!" Kuai Ran understood. Liu Mang was the King Of Shu. It could be said that he was the only King of Great Han in this world. Previously, there was also Prince Chen Liu, but unfortunately, he was also sentenced to death. Therefore, Liu Mang was the noblest person in this world aside from Liu Xie.
Moreover, Lao Cao had given Liu Mang a high title. As the King Of Shu, it could be said that Shu, Chuan, Jingchu, and Chu were all under Liu Mang's rule. As a general, he could open a manor. As a King, Liu Mang could also be given a title.
"Silly boy, why are you still standing there?" Kuai Liang smiled at Kuai Ran.
"This commoner, Kuai Ran, greets Your Highness the King Of Shu. I hope that Your Highness the King Of Shu will grant me and Yan Ran's marriage!" Kuai Ran was also very smart. He was prepared to kneel in front of Liu Mang. Originally, there was a big difference between him and Liu Mang. Now, he was willing to kneel in front of Liu Mang.
"Ai!" Kuai Ran wanted to kneel, but Liu Mang didn't want Kuai Ran to kneel. This was because Liu Mang wanted a friend, not a subordinate. If he wanted subordinates, Liu Mang didn't lack any officials. From Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Liu Ye, Yang Hong, Liu Qi, Yang Hong, Liu Qi, Xu Sheng, Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and second-rate Chengyu and Huang Xu.
Liu Mang didn't lack subordinates, but he lacked friends. This Kuai Ran seemed like a good friend to Liu Mang. The two hadn't known each other for a long time, but they had experienced life and death together.
"Brother Kuai Ran, just call me Hanyang!" Liu Mang smiled at Kuai Ran. Liu Mang naturally treated Kuai Ran as a friend. A friend's matter was naturally Liu Mang's matter.
"Thank you, Your Highness King Of Shu. Thank you, Your Highness King Of Shu!" Kuai Ran laughed.
"You're still calling me Your Highness King Of Shu? Then I won't give you any status! "
"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, Hanyang, Hanyang!" Kuai Ran quickly said. Right now, Liu Mang's matter concerned his life and death. Naturally, he would do whatever Liu Mang said.
"Haha! Brother Kuai Ran! Let me tell you, I'm handing my sister over to you. If you dare to bully her, don't blame me for being impolite! "Liu Mang smiled and patted Kuai Ran's shoulder.
"What?!" Liu Mang's words were said in a very relaxed manner but the three of them were stunned. To be exact, they were frightened.
They were indeed frightened. Who was Liu Mang? The King Of Shu of the Great Han Dynasty was a person above everyone else. Even if it wasn't a peaceful time, Liu Mang was still the ruler of Yangzhou. As Liu Mang's sister, she was equivalent to a princess. Even if Liu Mang didn't give her a title, she was still a noble.
"King Of Shu, Your Highness, King Of Shu, this, this!" Kuai Liang looked at Liu Mang. He thought that Liu Mang would at most let one of his subordinates recognize Yan Ran as a relative. Only then would she be able to get rid of her status as a woman. However, Liu Mang treated her as his sister. If Liu Mang gave Yan Ran the title of a princess, then the Kuai Family wouldn't dare to take her in as a concubine. If the Kuai Family married a princess of the Great Han Dynasty as a concubine, then they wouldn't be able to live anymore. Did they not want to become an aristocratic family? Although they wouldn't lose a lot of resources, at the very least, they would be abandoned by the Noble Clans. The Scholars and Great Scholars would scold the Kuai Clan to death. In the future, the Kuai Clan wouldn't be able to participate in the Imperial Examinations.
The Kuai Family's reputation would be completely ruined. Was Liu Mang trying to help the Kuai Family or was he trying to play them to death?
"Brother Liu, this is too big!" Kuai Ran was also very grateful. If he married a princess, then it would be good. However, his family would have to provide for her. Moreover, his father wanted him to marry someone from the Cai Family.
"This little girl thanks Your Highness, King Of Shu! However, this little girl doesn't have good fortune and can't be a princess! " Yan Ran also wanted to be a princess. That way, she would be able to be together with Kuai Ran. However, she also knew that there was no such thing as reaching the heavens in a single step.
"I will recognize Yan Ran as my sister! However, there's no need to announce that she is a princess now! "Liu Mang said to the Kuai Family's uncle and nephew.
Liu Mang also knew that if Yan Ran's status was raised to that of a princess, then she would be marrying a main wife. Kuai Liang couldn't be the main host. Although Kuai Liang was Kuai Ran's uncle and they were very close, he could still be in charge of marrying a concubine. If Kuai Yue knew about this, then he wouldn't agree! Therefore, Liu Mang wouldn't immediately give Yan Ran the title of a princess. Instead, he would give her an ordinary status. For example, he would only recognize her as a younger sister and not a princess. This way, Kuai Ran could still marry her as a concubine. After all, she wouldn't have the title of a princess. He could marry her as an ordinary person. However, if Liu Mang recognized her as a younger sister, then Yan Ran's status would be raised.
After this, whether or not Liu Mang would give Yan Ran the title of a princess would depend on Liu Mang. It wasn't uncommon for a concubine to become the main wife. For example, Yuan Shao's current main wife, Madam Liu, was a concubine's concubine. However, after the main wife died, Yuan Shao became the main wife.
Liu Biao's current main wife, Madam Cai, was also like this. Liu Biao only gave Madam Cai the position of a concubine in the beginning. Later on, she slowly became the main wife.
This was the result that Liu Mang wanted. With the title of a princess, Liu Mang would be able to tie the Kuai Family to Liu Mang's ship. Once the Kuai Family wanted to marry Kuai Ran, Liu Mang would immediately announce Yan Ran as a princess. Liu Mang had even thought of the title of a princess. He wouldn't change her name and would call her Princess Yan Ran.
Would the Kuai Family dare to let a princess be a concubine? They would definitely make her the main wife. That way, they would be able to firmly hold the position of the main wife of the Kuai Family. Even if the Kuai Family wanted to regret it, they wouldn't be able to do anything. If Yan Ran could give birth to one or two sons for Kuai Ran, it would be even better. With Liu Mang as the King Of Shu's uncle, the two sons of Kuai Ran would have to rely on Liu Mang for the Kuai Family's inheritance. This way, Liu Mang would be able to control the Kuai Family's lifeline. How could the Kuai Family escape?
Kuai Liang also understood the situation and couldn't help but look at Liu Mang. Although he wanted to help Liu Mang obtain provisions from Jingzhou, he didn't want to tie the Kuai Family to Liu Mang's war chariot. After all, Kuai Liang was loyal to Liu Biao.
Kuai Liang wanted to refuse, but he saw the joy on Kuai Ran's face. If he refused, then the marriage would be over. How could Kuai Ran not see Kuai Ran's love for Yan Ran? After all, Kuai Liang was once young!
Especially when Kuai Liang's legal wife was also a commoner, Kuai Liang's feelings of being forced by his family members came back to him. For some reason, Kuai Liang agreed to it.
