Liu Xin was shocked when he heard the fire outside, and hurriedly said to Ma Yun: "Hurry up! I'm going to hold my son!"
Ma Yun said without hesitation: "I will go with you!"
When she arrived outside, she found that Qiao'er had already carried Liu Yu out. Liu Xin took Ma Yun's hand three steps in parallel, and ran out of the room. There was already a mess outside.
Tian Feng and Ju Shou also ran out with their family members, and Dian Wei was fighting the fire with Feihuwei's guards. Seeing Liu Xin coming out, Xu Chu said quickly: "Brother, Mr. Cai's room is on fire."
Liu Xin looked up and saw that Cai Yong's family of three were standing in embarrassment in the yard in front of the house. Cai Yan was still wearing a long-sleeved dress and dress, obviously before he could change it. Liu Xin hurriedly walked over and asked, "Mr. Bo Xie, are you all right?"
Cai Yong muttered blankly, "I'm fine."
Before he finished his words, he suddenly shouted again: "Oh! It's not good! My piano, my piano is still inside." After speaking, he rushed to the room.
The fire was obviously burning from behind. The sky was dry and things were dry. The flames had already rushed outside, and the door of the room had been closed, not knowing whether it was because of the wind or some other reason. Under this circumstance, no one dared to let him into the room to get the piano, and grabbed him with various hands. Tian Feng persuaded: "Bo Xi, let him go with a piano, and buy a good one in Xiangyang."
Where is Cai Yong willing to listen to his persuasion, he stomped his feet and thumped his chest again, and clamored for the earth there. Cai Yan kept tearing up beside him, and suddenly rushed into the room like crazy. Everyone was persuading Cai Yong to notice her wherever she was. When she found out, she was only seven or eight steps away from the door of the room. When Mrs. Cai saw this, she exclaimed, "Yan'er!"
At this moment, when I heard a loud "bang", the door of the room that was still hidden just flew up suddenly, and with a "plop", it landed not far from Cai Yan. Sparks splashed on Cai Yan's body. There were several holes in the dress that Ma Yun was envious of. Then, I saw a dark figure rushing out of the room. At this time, a soldier was carrying a bucket of water and splashing into the room. The black shadow reacted quickly, and on one side of his body, the bucket of water was pouring on his back from head to toe. The shadow did not stay at all, and went straight to Cai Yong and the others.
Cai Yan was trembling with fear by the sudden drop of the door. Standing still, he couldn't move a step. The courage to rush into the flames had already disappeared. The black shadow passed her, grabbed her hand, and dragged her to Cai Yong's side.
At this time, everyone could see that the dark figure was actually Liu Xin, his face was scorched black by smoke, his hair was burned a lot, and his clothes were burned with many holes, and he was covered with a bucket of water just now. Drenched from head to toe, very embarrassed. Everyone was persuading Cai Yong just now. No one noticed when Liu Xin left or how he entered the room.
Liu Xin also carried a large package in his hand. He just turned aside and blocked the bucket of water poured by the soldiers, just to protect the package. Everyone was still in a daze. Liu Xin had already handed the package to Cai Yong and asked: "Mr. Bo Xie, hurry up and see, isn't it this?"
Ma Yun couldn't help but rushed into Liu Xin's arms and cried loudly: "Husband, how can you take such a risk! If you have a long life and two shortcomings, how can we get along with my mother!"
Liu Xin hugged her tightly, wiped the tears on her face with her hand, and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, isn't it good for me. Okay, okay, I promise you not to take any risks in the future That's it. Pouch..." After talking, Liu Xin suddenly laughed, "I'm sorry, I made you a big face."
It turned out that Liu Xin helped Ma Yun wipe her tears, and the soot on her hand spread all over Ma Yun's face. Now both of them have made a big black face. Ma Yun also broke into a smile, and beat him twice in the chest with a pair of pink fists.
Cai Yan was standing next to them. Seeing their affectionate behavior, he only felt pain in his heart. He turned his head, but saw his father holding the package. His hands trembled for a long time and he couldn't open it, so he took the package and opened it gently. It really is a piano. Cai Yong and his daughter finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Xin's eyes were sharp, seeing that the side of the piano was already scorched, and he sighed and said to Cai Yong, "Oh, Mr. Bo Xie, I'm still a step slower, this piano burned a piece."
Cai Yong had already recovered, and said to Liu Xin: "It hasn't been burnt, it hasn't been burnt, this is how the piano was originally."
It turned out that Cai Yong was exiled to the south. When he walked to Wu Jun, he heard a crisp crackling sound from the next door in the room. He couldn't help but was shocked. He raised his head and pricked his ears and listened carefully, yelling "No". OK", jumped up and ran towards the stove. It turned out that there was a person who burned paulownia wood for cooking next door. Cai Yong heard the sound of paulownia cracking in the fire and knew it was a good piece of wood, so he asked someone to make a piano out of this wood, and it really played wonderful music , But the end of the wood was charred.
After hearing the story told by Cai Yong, Liu Xin and Ma Yun couldn't help but looked at each other and said, "So this is Jiaoweiqin."
Cai Yong heard this and suddenly pondered, "Jiaoweiqin, Jiaoweiqin. This is a good name. The old man has always wanted to give this piano a good name, but he finally got his wish today." Liu Xin was speechless. It turned out that "Jiaoweiqin" Cai Yong didn't take the name, and he was ahead of it again.
At this time, county magistrate Kuailiang also rushed over after hearing the news, and the fire had been extinguished. Liu Xin said to Kuailiang: "The county magistrate from Kuai came just right, so I sent someone to check it out quickly. Who set the fire?"
At this time, a voice came: "Master, no need to check, I set the fire."
Liu Xin turned his head and saw Cai Yong's face downcast, and asked strangely: "Mr. Bo Xie, why are you setting fire? Ah cut..." Liu Xin said, and sneezed loudly. Everyone realized that the bucket of water poured on Liu Xin had frozen. Everyone hurriedly got Liu Xin to the front office and randomly found some clothes for him to change. Sitting in front of the brazier, Liu Xin was drinking the ginger soup that Ma Yun had boiled for him, while listening to Cai Yong's explanation of why the county government had to be burned.
It turned out that after Cai Yan gave the ceremony, Cai Yong looked at his beautiful daughter as an adult, and said unswervingly: "Yan'er, when you arrive in Xiangyang and settle down, Dad will let you marry to Wei's house gracefully. "
Cai Yan is only fifteen years old, at an average age, just in the youth rebellious period. Women of this era, especially those born in a big literati family like Cai Yong, received a lot of orthodox education since they were young. In their hearts, marriage events, parents' orders, and matchmaker's words are justified. But since listening to Ma Yun's phrase "Women's happiness must be achieved by themselves", her heart has begun to get confused. I was still immersed in the joy of just becoming an adult. Hearing his father mentioned the Wei family, his heart became annoyed again, and he blurted out, "Father, I don't want to marry the Wei family."
Cai Yong is the most important faith in her life, and has already agreed to Wei's proposal. How can she be allowed to go back? Immediately he was furious: "What are you talking about! Nothing is up to you! I don't want to marry, I don't have a daughter like you!" Cai Yong became more excited as he said, raising his hand and hitting the tea cup brought by Mrs. Cai. Turning to the ground, the lid of the cup was unbiased, and it was hitting the candle next to it. The candle fell down and lit the tent, and the flame shot up to Lao Gao with a "whoop". As a result, most of Kuailiang's county government was burned.
Liu Xin was stunned, knowing that Cai Yong is an old scholar, and this is really difficult to persuade him, so she said to Kuailiang: "Guai County magistrate, sorry, Bo Xi is also unintentional, look at how much it burns. I will pay for things."
Kuailiang laughed and said, "Why did the lord say this? The lower officials have a lot of money, so let's burn it, and then pay it for what it is doing."
Along the way, from Nanyang Prefect Chu Gong to the county magistrates below, they still called Lord Liu Xin, but refused to call him Lord Lord, but now Kuailiang suddenly changed his words, apparently approving Liu Xin, all because of seeing So that he can fight for the sake of his subordinate's violin.
Liu Xin heard him say that, it was hard to insist on compensation, so he asked again: "Does the Kuai County magistrate have any other requirements?"
Kuailiang said, "Going back to the lord, there is nothing to ask for the next official. I only hope that the lord can treat the people of Jingzhou kindly."
Liu Xin pondered for a moment, and said: "I serve as an official and benefit the other party. It is always my purpose as an official. It is my duty to treat the people kindly. It's just that I am new to Jingzhou and I am not familiar with the local situation. What should I do? Do, please teach me the magistrate of Kuai County."
Kuailiang was not modest, and stood up and replied: "The Lord wants to determine Jingzhou and should accept the hearts of the people. If you want to accept the hearts of the people, you must do acts of benevolence and righteousness. If you are not benevolent, the people will not be attached, and if you are not righteous, the people will not be attached. If the way of benevolence and righteousness is done, the people will return from all directions. Why should you worry about the death of Jingzhou? Although Kuailiang was in Jingzhou, he had heard of the lord’s good name. Today, I saw the lord sacrificed his life to save the qin and would like to bring his younger brother Kuai Yue , The master’s role in the service of dogs and horses."
Liu Xin had no impression of Kuai Liangben. Hearing him mentioning Kuai Yue, he just remembered that these two brothers were Liu Biao’s two great advisers. He was overjoyed and said, “If Liu can get help from Mr. Liu, why worry about the death of Jingzhou. I think. Please Mr. accompany me to Xiangyang tomorrow. What if you don’t know what you want?"
Kuailiang said, "Although the lower official is from Zhonglu, Nanjun, his home has already been settled in Xiangyang, and he will go with the lord. Naturally, he is willing. But this Xinye is the gateway to the north of Xiangyang, and a reliable person needs to be guarded."
When Liu Xin heard it, it was true. In another half a month, Zhang Jiao should rebel. What Nanyang prefect Chu Gong said to him was not taken seriously. In case the Yingchuan Yellow Turban went south, this Xinye would be a barrier, so Said: "I have six brothers, all of whom have the courage to be improper, so I left one guarding Xinye, and my husband can rest assured to follow me to Xiangyang."
At this moment, a major event happened in Luoyang, the capital city.
