Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping said in unison: "My lord, please give me a name."
Liu Xin had been deprived of the right to name names at home, and he felt even more impulsive in this respect outside. He immediately said without embarrassment: "I think it is better to call Shuangping Racecourse, because the world is peaceful, and a good person is safe in his life."
In fact, someone just took one word from each surname, and he took one word from each other's name. This level is half a catty. However, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping both applauded again and again, and said together: "Then, how about asking an adult to write a plaque for us?"
Liu Xin couldn't help but remember that when he was writing Jiugongge at Cai Yong's house that day, their father and daughter had strange gazes, and hurriedly declined: "There is still something to do in my house. You can't stay for a long time. You can find another expert." escape.
The matter of asking Liu Xin to write an inscription was not completed. Although the business of the racecourse was still tepid, it was always possible to sell so many horses every three or three times. Seeing that the horse-selling business can continue in Xiangyang, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping gradually settled down, not to mention that every time they bring some goods back from Xiangyang, they can make a small profit. In fact, what they didn't know was that most of the horses that were sold were bought by Liu Xin secretly and arranged for someone to quietly buy them. Now these horses have been sneaked into the barracks.
Liu Xin very cleverly controlled the speed at which Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping sold horses, and basically guaranteed that they would sell all the horses that had been trafficked in about three months. In this way, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping can be trafficked three to four times in a year, while Liu Xin can quietly increase 3,000 war horses every year without having to bear the risks in the transportation process.
More and more gentry families have begun to buy land and build houses in the new urban area. As for ordinary people, the government will allocate land and funds to them according to the size of their current houses to build their own houses. The only requirement is New houses must use a large number of masonry structures. With the increase in popularity of the new city, Liu Xin instructed Kuailiang to launch the third and fourth batch of shops in a timely manner, all of which were sold in the form of auction. Although in these two auctions, there has never been a sky-high price of 9.5 million yuan, but the lowest price is not less than 1.5 million yuan. As early as more than a year ago, Liu Xin began secretly planning real estate development, and finally the harvest season came.
Five and six months are the summer vacation time set by Liu Xin. Except for a few gentlemen who stayed behind in the college, all the students have gone home, and Liu Xin and Cai Yong no longer need to teach in the college.
In the state animal husbandry, Zhang Ji sent several midwives with the best skills in the medical school. This is Ma Yunsheng's second child. Liu Xin still can't let go of her mind. She is still spinning in circles outside the delivery room just like last time. Fortunately, Ma Yun's birth and resuscitation went smoothly this time. The midwives were busy for less than an hour and heard a loud cry of "Wow" from the baby in the room.
Cai Yong is practicing calligraphy in his home study. If Liu Xin and Ma Yun see what he writes, they will be surprised. Cai Yong wrote "Fu on Tsing Yi". This is a masterpiece of Cai Yong's youth. It confessed his love for a beautiful woman from humble background. His style was bold and straightforward. It could be said to be shocking at the time and unique. But in the eyes of modern Liu Xin and Ma Yun, such content is too common, and what really shocks them is the font used by Cai Yong. If they see it, they will definitely shout out: regular script. !
Yes, Cai Yong now writes in italics, which also benefits Liu Xin and Ma Yun. When they lecture in the academy, they are different from the gentlemen of that era, but are accustomed to using special chalk for writing on the blackboard, which is used for writing on the blackboard. The is italics. Cai Yong studied it carefully and found that this type of font was very distinctive, the strokes were pretty and well-proportioned, and the font was dignified and square. During the summer vacation, Cai Yong tried to write at home, but the result was uncontrollable. After repeated writing and speculation by such a calligrapher, the standard regular script came out a hundred years ahead of schedule.
Cai Yong was complacent about his calligraphy work, and Mrs. Cai hurried in from outside. Mrs. Cai is not his original match, nearly twenty years younger than him. Cai Yong’s previous wives and concubines did not leave him a man and a half, and they died one after another, including the heroine of "Tsing Yi Fu". Only Mrs. Cai accompanied him through the Spring and Autumn Period for more than ten years. She gave birth to Cai Yan, a daughter of both talents and beauty, whom both of them are proud of.
Mrs. Cai didn't show much interest in his calligraphy. She glanced at it and said, "Master, I just went to Master Zhou Mu's mansion."
Cai Yong stopped writing and asked in surprise, "What are you going to do at the lord's mansion?"
Mrs. Cai said with a mysterious face: "I heard something at the adult's mansion today. Mrs. Zhou Mu gave birth..."
Cai Yong interrupted her and said, "Oh, gave birth? Is it a boy or a girl?"
Madam Cai knew that her husband’s heart disease was that she had never had a son, and she secretly felt guilty that her stomach was not up to date, and her face could not help but become slightly hot. She cried, "It's a boy, I heard...
Cai Yong couldn't help feeling a little sore in his heart. Before Madam Cai finished speaking, he interrupted her again and said, "It's really possible to give birth. This is already his third son."
The feudal ideas of male superiority and female inferiority and no queen being great had already been deeply implanted in his heart. Even the memorial he wrote to the emperor mentioned that he had no queen many times. In Cai Yong's eyes, no matter how good his daughter Cai Yan is, she can't make him more happy than multiple sons. Unfortunately, as he grows older, all of this can only become a dream.
Mrs. Cai was so disgusted by him that she blushed and said, "Master, I'm not talking about this. I heard that the child's name was named Ma Fan from Mrs. Zhou Mu."
Cai Yong knew that Ma Yun was also a talented woman. It seemed that Liu Yu was named after her, so she didn't feel any surprise. When he heard the end, a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked: "What? What did you say, this child's name is Ma? The lord is willing to let his son follow his wife's surname Ma!"
However, Mrs. Cai continued to say: "Master, it's more than that. The second wife of Master Zhou Mu is about to give birth. I still heard them say today that as long as the second wife is willing, the child can be named Bian. There is also the Zhu family, It seems that I have been pregnant for six or seven months, and it is said that the child can still follow her surname Zhu after giving birth. Lord, do you think this is a great anecdote?"
Cai Yong seemed to be stunned. The writing brush in his hand did not know when it fell on the table, and the ink splashed on the paper, making a mess of a good calligraphy. He murmured: "Anecdote, really an anecdote. Ah! Forget it, what do you do, what does his child's last name have to do with me."
On the surface, he pretends to be calm, but in fact, his heart has long since knocked over a five-flavored bottle. Cai Yong knows better than anyone else that as early as on the way from Luoyang to Jingzhou, his daughter had something to say to Liu Xin. If her dad hadn't gotten the trouble, she should have given birth now. If she could have a boy, she would Wouldn't it be possible to have a queen, and no longer have to worry about seeing the ancestors and ancestors after death. One step wrong, wrong step, Cai Yong shook his head helplessly, there is no regret medicine in the world!
After half a month, the prefecture and animal husbandry became nervous again, and Bian Yu gave birth. The amniotic fluid broke early in the morning, and the midwives have been busy all morning, and the child has not yet been born. Liu Xin listened to a painful groan outside the door, his heart tightening and tightening, and he secretly cursed in his heart, if there is modern medical technology and a caesarean section, how can he suffer this crime. It was said that it was a barrier for a woman to give birth to a child, and he felt it now.
Ma Yun had just fed her baby and she came outside the delivery room. She was a person who came over. Knowing the pain of having a baby, she was sweating for Bian Yu. The wives of Mr. Tian Feng and Jusui who came to listen to the news were also waiting outside the room. Liu Xin couldn't stay any longer and avoided the study.
At this time, Mrs. Cai's mother and daughter also visited the residence. Although it has been summer vacation recently, Liu Xin doesn't have to go to the academy to teach, but two women in the prefecture and shepherd's house have given birth to a lot of things, how much does he have any thoughts about telling Liu Rui stories. In addition, Zhu Qian’s belly is getting bigger day by day, Liu Rui hopes that her mother can give her a little brother or a little sister sooner, and no longer pester Liu Xin to listen to stories, so this "Journey to the West" stopped. It took many more days. Ma Yun was busy nursing her baby. Naturally, she didn’t have much time to speak with Cai Yan, and Liu Rui had no new stories to tell. In this way, Cai Yan would not have any suitable reason to go to the prefecture and shepherd house every day. She already had I haven't been here for ten days.
Bian Yu was still yelling loudly inside, making people feel uncomfortable. Ma Yun turned her head and saw that Cai Yan's face was very pale. Thinking that she was not suitable for staying here, she said, "Sister Zhaoji, I haven't seen you for a few days. Let me see the baby. ."
Cai Yan looked at her mother. Madam Cai understood Ma Yun's meaning, pushed her and said, "Since Madam is pleased, you can go."
There are many big trees planted in the prefecture and animal husbandry. Ma Yun took Cai Yan and walked under the shade for a while. Looking back, she saw that her face had not improved, and she didn’t speak much along the way, so she asked with concern: "Zhao Sister Ji, is there something uncomfortable with you?"
Cai Yan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly reddened her eyes and shed two lines of clear tears, bit her lip, shook her head, and still did not speak.
Ma Yun was a little weird. She didn't understand why she cried so well, so she asked: "Is Yu'er's reaction a bit big and scared you?"
Cai Yan whispered with a bit of choking, "No, it didn't scare me."
Ma Yun was even more surprised, and continued to ask: "Then why are you crying?"
Cai Yan couldn't control herself anymore, leaned on Ma Yun's shoulder, and cried loudly, saying, "Sister, I like Master Liu."
