Liu Xin took care of Ma Yun's feelings. Everything was kept simple when we married Bian Yu and Cai Yan. But this wedding was organized by Ma Yun himself. And Cai Jue has lived in Zhoumufu for so many years. The relationship with Bian Yu, Cai Yan and Zhu Qian is very good. There is not much dissatisfaction with today's situation. As for the maids. Except for the hot eyes. Any other ideas.
but. There was one person in the State Shepherd's Mansion who was very unhappy. She didn't even go to watch the wedding. This person is Diaochan. There are many people in the prefecture. No one paid attention to whether Diaochan was present. Besides, in the eyes of those maids. The beautiful Diao Chan is to them. Is the biggest threat. She had better stay in her room every day without showing up. That's hard to ask for. I still care about her coming or not.
Diao Chan sat alone in front of the dressing table. Looking at the stunning face in the mirror that makes a woman tempted to look at it. Secretly sighed. She just couldn't understand. I don't know how many times more beautiful my appearance is than Cai Juelai. Why can't it attract Liu Xin's attention. She couldn't help feeling a bit lonely and helpless. There are so many women in the prefecture. Except Ma Yun and Cai Yan occasionally talk to her. Everyone guarded her like a thief. Diao Chan Gu Ying felt sorry for herself. Secretly said in his heart. Good skins for each pair. I don't know who will be cheaper in the end.
Although it is a newlywed Yaner. Liu Xin did not accompany Cai Jue every day. He takes care of other women's emotions very well. I slept in Ma Yun's room the next night. Another day has passed. Liu Xin came to Bian Yu's room. It was even an unprecedented two consecutive times that Ying'er did not enter Ying'er's room.
Stroking Bian Yu's growing belly. I thought that the names she gave to her first two sons were the same as she had guessed. Liu Xin couldn't help but play. Asked: "Yu'er. Have you thought about a name for this child?"
Bian Yu thought for a moment. Said: "Master. I don't know if it is a boy or a girl. Let's talk about it. I took the names of the first two children. You should take the name of this child yourself."
Liu Xin put her ear on Bian Yu's belly. You can clearly feel the fetus moving inside. He smiled and said: "This kid is so naughty in your stomach. I must be a boy. Let's do it. You and I will each give him a name and write it in the palm of your hand. It's better than one. Just choose one of them. How about. ."
After all, the belly is her own flesh and blood. Liu Xin is in such a mood today. Bian Yu was naturally happy. I couldn't help but laughed "Puff". Replied: "Okay. Let me think about it."
Seeing Bian Yu's serious look. Liu Xin was amused secretly. Take the pen and ink on the table. He quickly wrote a word in the palm of his hand. Then clenched his fists. Replace the pen with Bian Yu. Bian Yu was very cautious. He turned his head and thought for a long time. Only then did he write a word seriously in the palm of his hand. Also clenched into a small fist. Reaching out to Liu Xin, he said, "Master. You open it first."
Liu Xin hesitated. Said: "Let's open it together."
Bian Yu played a petty temper. Pouting his mouth and said: "I want to look at the master first."
Liu Xin stretched out her other hand. It scratched her nose. Only then slowly opened his hands. Bian Yu stretched his head and glanced. A pair of eyes suddenly turned round. Can't speak for a long time. Liu Xin looked at her boss's mouth wide open. I feel that my fists can be squeezed in. I already understand what she wrote. But she teased her and said: "What. I didn't give the child a bad name. You don't need to be so exaggerated."
Bian Yu suddenly kissed Liu Xin on the cheek quickly. Crystal tears were already shining in his eyes. Trembling and said, "Master. It turns out that we are really fate. Come and see."
One big and one small hand lined up together. The word "plant" was written in the palm of his hand. It's just that the word "Zhi" in the palm of the little white hand is neat and tidy. The word "zhi" in the heart of the other hand is crooked. Liu Xin didn't think that she could only touch and couldn't move tonight. It's okay to make fun of it. Bian Yu was so deceived that tears filled his eyes. Secretly sighed. It's good to be able to predict the prophet.
Easy days always pass too fast. The holiday of the first month is over. The various yamen began to put into normal operation one after another. but. Liu Xin still stayed in the mansion all day. Accompanying his wife and concubine.
The well-developed commerce in Xiangyang also gave the princes everywhere a chance. They have sent spies to pretend to be merchants. Collect information in various places in and out of Xiangyang. Liu Xin's recent situation is the focus of these spies at all costs. then. Liu Xin soaked in the gentle village all day long. Especially he married Cai Jue. In the eyes of outsiders, it's just taking a concubine. Also come up with such a big pomp. Gives people a kind of greed and lust. Feeling not enterprising. more than this. They also inquired that knives, guns, and armor had been shipped to Xiangyang recently. It was sent to the treasury for storage. These munitions are not new. It's all old things. It seems that Liu Xin abolished a large number of troops. The news slowly reached the desks of the princes of the towns. Naturally, I couldn't hide it from Dong Zhuo of Chang'an.
After Dong Zhuo arrived in Chang'an. Self-appointed Taishi. Known as Shangfu. All in and out are riding the Qinggai Jinhua car. Domineering. Unbelievably arrogant. but. Deep down in his heart, he was still afraid of two people. One is Sun Jian. One is Liu Xin.
How did Sun Jian die? Liu Bei knows best. But he will not speak out. After Liu Xin took in Sun Ce and others. Also deliberately conceal the news of Sun Jian's death. Until Sun Ce was completely attached. Only then slowly released the news. Learn that Sun Jian is dead. The princes have sorrows and joys. Tao Qian is the one who is most scared. He knew that Yuan Shao and others would definitely count Sun Jian's death on his head. And these people all know that Sun Jian got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. It is inevitable to suspect that Chuanguo Yuxi fell into his hands. But Dong Zhuo was the happiest. That's how my heart disease has gone. And Sun Jian's son is only seventeen years old. Although he defected to Liu Xin. But he was just a small soldier in Liu Xin's army. What threat can there be to oneself
The remaining Liu Xin. Dong Zhuo will also have to deal with it sooner or later. but. He always wanted to wait for the other princes to calm down. Finally, Liu Xin was operated on. Now I heard that Liu Xin was willing to fall. Dong Zhuo was even more exuberant. There is nothing to worry about in this world. then. Dong Zhuo is even more arrogant. Massacre of dissidents in the court. Cultivate cronies. And the city of Yinwu that he collected 250,000 people to build has also been completed. The city has accumulated enough food for 30 years and countless gold and silver jewelry. Eight hundred folk young beauties were selected to enrich them. He lives between Yinwu and Chang'an in turns. He didn't put the little emperor Liu Xie in his eyes at all.
Yuan Shu received a report on Liu Xin's recent situation. I think this should have a lot to do with signing a peace agreement with him. It seems that Liu Xin really thought this was the case. There will be no war between himself and him. Since there is no threat of war. So raising a large number of troops is very expensive. Obviously, Liu Xin, the petty man, has already begun to release Nanshan with knives and guns.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao passed through Luoyang once. Liu Xin has been regarded as a strong enemy. but. Yuan Shao is now busy fighting with Gongsun Zan in order to compete for the northern territory. Cao Cao also used the yellow turban to suppress Shandong to expand his strength desperately. There was no time to care about Liu Xin. Now I heard that Liu Xin was holding back. All secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This is the best result for them. They all believe it. Just give them a few more years. Their strength can definitely catch up with Liu Xin. Even surpass him.
This year. Liu Xin is not doing nothing. He still stubbornly refused to recognize the identity of Emperor Liu Xie. Do not use the Chuping year. And insist that this year is the eighth year of Zhongping. He even let people calculate the calendar on their own. Promulgated for private implementation. He also cast a copper coin called Zhongping Tongbao. And publicly issued and circulated in the area under his jurisdiction. Simply rebellious. Although other princes are also secretly casting copper coins. But no one is as loud as he is. but. It's strange to say. The people are still willing to use Zhongping Tongbao. The most unwilling to use is Dong Zhuo's small money without writing. That's Dahan's official currency.
Although the princes. Even many gentry families think Liu Xin is not pleasing to the eye. But no one took the initiative to sever the connection with Xiangyang. After all, there are two things, Xiangzhi and white porcelain. This is an indispensable luxury for wealthy families. It is a symbol of status and status. There is nowhere to buy it elsewhere.
It was turned upside down outside. However, Jingzhou and the other six counties under Liu Xin's jurisdiction have always been calm. It seems that this year Liu Xin has added another son in addition to it. Even though the belly of Cai Yan, Cai Jue and Ying'er got bigger, they didn't do anything. in fact. Liu Xin's heart is very clear. Turbulent waves are often hidden behind the calm surface. Such a good day will soon end. He is also taking the time to spend more time with his family.
Jushou, Tian Feng and other figures at the core of the Liu Xin Group know it. Liu Xin is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. His preparations for a large-scale war never stopped. With the tyrant knife and the pewter gun. The new powerful bow, which has a range almost twice as much as the original, has gradually been equipped with the army. The five armies were also taken turns to the training center in the western suburbs of Xiangyang for intensive training that was highly close to actual combat.
The spies sent by the princes of the towns thought they were acting secretly. In fact, it has long since fallen into the grasp of Phantom. So these real core things are impossible for them to know. The loose army in their eyes. It's just the local army in each county. They couldn't see the really powerful Han army under Liu Xin.
Sun Ce ended his one-year training camp. Successfully become an official Flying Tiger guard. Was assigned to Dongcheng District as a patrol mission. Walking on the streets that were once familiar. Sun Ce's mood could not be calm for a long time. Now I think back to my original thoughts. It's ridiculously naive. He just thinks about being promoted as soon as possible. Good to be an officer in the five major corps. Go into battle and kill the enemy. Make meritorious deeds.
Just when he was stupefied. From the street came the sound of "de" horseshoes. A small carriage came in from the corner. Sun Ce looked up. The shape of this carriage is very familiar. He remembered that his mother and younger brothers had also taken a ride. It should be a carriage unique to the State Shepherd House.
