Chapter 5: Hou Ye's deal

Views:

"In broad daylight, you still dare not rob you! I'm the future Lord Hou, how dare you be so rude!" Liu Xin shouted angrily.

The few family members looked at each other and did not dare to step forward.

"Hurry up," the old man shouted.

The family members listened to the old man's order and rushed forward. When Liu Xin saw it, his heart became angry, he put the Baotian box lid into his arms, set aside his posture, and fought with the family members.

Liu Xin learned the Qingcheng school of splitting punches. It is said that his ancestor’s ancestor can break a branch with the thickness of a thumb 20 meters away with one punch, while an earlier ancestor can break a branch 40 meters away with a single punch. A small tree, but these are just legends, no one has seen it. Liu Xin's master can extinguish nine candles two meters away, while Liu Xin has been practicing for ten years and can only extinguish one candle. Liu Xin has been in this world for twenty days. He understands that in this age, having a good kung fu is more important than anything else. He practiced hard every morning and evening, and his kung fu has not fallen. Where is the opponent of these families, he has been hit by him three times long ago. Five divided by two fell to the ground.

"Take me to see Lord Hou!" The old man saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to run, but Liu Xin grabbed him.

"Don't be rude!" A person turned around behind the hall, about fifty years old, wearing a diadem, a black shirt, a red drape, a saber hanging on his waist, and his face sinking like water.

Liu Xin was shocked by the man's momentum, and her hand loosened involuntarily. The old man quickly stepped aside, bowing his head in silence.

"Come here, take them all down." The man waved to the old man again. "You go down too."

The visitor stared at Liu Xin with his eyes, Liu Xin was not afraid, and glared at him. The two of them did not speak, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing for a while.

"What's the name of this little brother?" After a while, the man couldn't help but his expression eased, and he asked first.

"Now, Liu Xin, I'm here to see Master Hou."

"Oh, what can you do with Benhou?"

"It turns out that you are Lord Hou. Min has an eye but doesn't know Mount Tai. You have been offended, please Haihan Hou Ye." Liu Xinshen gave a salute. In fact, Liu Xin had already seen that this man must be Liu Zhong, Hou Juchao.

"You don't need to be polite, you can tell me something."

"Xiaomin is here for this. Xiaomin wants to see the box and cover match with his own eyes." Liu Xin took out the Baotian box cover from his arms. In fact, Liu Xin refused to let go of the lid of the tin box, which made it clear that he did not trust Liu Zhong.

"Your surname is Liu, what's your father's name? Where did this thing come from?" Liu Zhong saw the lid of the box, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"My father Liu Jian, this is what my father gave me." Liu Xin saw some clues in the eyes of Liu Zhong and the old man, and his confidence in the success of the pairing increased greatly.

"Where is your father? What is your grandpa's name?"

"My grandfather's name is Liu Kai, and my father has just passed away not long ago." Liu Xin thought that the uprising father had passed away unfortunately just one day after knowing him. He couldn't even do a bit of filial piety, and couldn't help feeling sad.

"You must go to the match personally, do you know what the consequences of unsuccessful matchmaking are?" When Liu Zhong saw Liu Xin mentioning his father, his expression was sad, not like a fake, and he secretly asked, could he be my nephew

"No matter what, I have to watch." After the scene just now, in addition to still distrusting Liu Zhong, Liu Xin has a lot of confidence in her own skills. Huh, the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty are nothing great, it's a big deal for me. Just kill it out.

"Well, before the box and lid match, I have a condition." Obviously Liu Zhong is very confident that the box and lid can match.

"What conditions?" It turned out that Liu Zhong didn't act well. The saying that there is no free lunch in the world is a truth that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Liu Xin despised Liu Zhong again in her heart.

"The condition is that if the box and cover match, I will pass the position to you on the spot!"

Liu Xin secretly said in her heart, this is also a condition, this condition is so good, Liu Zhong couldn't help but look impressive.

"But..." Ah, it turns out that there is a following, this Liu Zhong is really not easy.

"You have to establish a son!" Liu Zhong said the core of the condition.

"No, what a joke, I haven't given birth to a son yet." Liu Xin refused on the spot. He and Ma Yun have no real husband and wife. Even if the first hit is 10 months later, and he doesn't know whether it is a male or a female, Liu Xin couldn't think of such a condition.

"You don't need to worry about this. I have prepared it for you, my son. If the box and lid match, you can put on the name of Lord Hou. You don't need to worry about other things, and I will give you a lot of money. You see How is it?" Liu Zhong finally said the ultimate goal.

Grandma's, tossing for a long time, it turns out that I'm just a famous Hou Ye! It’s a bit difficult to make a deal or not to make a deal!

"You have to think carefully. If you don't agree to this condition, you won't get anything. I'll give you a stick of incense." Liu Zhongyi looked like he was sure of winning.

"How much can you give me?"

"Ten million dollars!"

"Okay, the deal! But I have to add a condition too!" Liu Xin did not hesitate.

"You also have the conditions, okay, you say." Liu Zhong looked at Liu Xin a little strangely, what conditions would your kid have

"My conditions are-Bao, Tian, He, Quan, Gui, Me!" Liu Xin said all at once.

"Hahaha, what is the condition, what is the value of a Baodian box. No problem, the box and lid are matched successfully, and the Baodian box belongs to you." Liu Zhong couldn't help laughing. It was too simple. Where did he think of this treasure. The tin box entrusted Liu Xin's gratitude to her foster father.

"Now you go to the post with me first to see if the box and lid are worthy of success, and then we will discuss the other things in detail." Seeing that the conditions were negotiated, Liu Zhong couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and ignored his identity. Holding Liu Xin's hand, he ran out, yelling, "Get the car, hurry up!"

Liu Zhong pulled Liu Xin into the carriage and set off under the escort of a large group of Jiading. Neither person spoke, Liu Xin was a little nervous, and Liu Zhong was a little excited.

The entrance of the post house. A young eunuch greeted him and whispered: "The slave servant has seen Lord Hou."

"Well, talk inside." Although the eunuch was arrogant, Liu Zhong was also a Han family clan, so he didn't put this little eunuch in his eyes.

Liu Xin looked up, this is a real eunuch! I finally saw the eunuch. I only watched it on TV before. They were all dressed up as actors. This is a real eunuch. I saw that the eunuch was in his twenties, and he looked handsome, but his skin was dark, and there was really no beard on his chin, and he couldn't even see a stubble. He had an orchid finger up!

The eunuch watched Liu Xin staring at him constantly, a little displeased, and asked quietly, "Master Hou, who is this person?"

"This person claimed to be Liu Xin, and brought a lid of a Baotian box. Liu Xin, I don't want to meet an adult soon." The eunuch was also an internal official, so Liu Zhong called him an adult.

"Xiaomin Liu Xin has seen his father-in-law." Liu Xin stepped forward and gave a salute.

"What do you call me?" The little eunuch was a little surprised.

"Xiaomin Liu Xin has seen his father-in-law." Liu Xin had to give another salute, muttering in her heart, aren't they all called eunuchs like this on TV? Is there anything wrong.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, interesting. Haha, please come inside." The eunuch said, leading the way.

When he came to the post house, the little eunuch waved his hand, and a man with the appearance of a sergeant held a plate covered with red silk. The little eunuch lifted the red silk. On the plate was a lacquer box without a lid. On the red bottom, the cloud dragon pattern, dot pattern, diamond pattern and stone pattern were painted with black lacquer. The workmanship was very exquisite.

"These days, I don't know how many people have brought a lid, but none of them can match it. Take yours out." The little eunuch glanced at Liu Xin.

"Father-in-law, look." Liu Xin took out the lid of the tin box from his arms and put it on with both hands.

"Well, this object looks a little bit too. Lord Hou, the slave and maid gave it a try." When the little eunuch heard Liu Xin calling him "father-in-law", his face was full of smiles.

"Well, Ben Hou also felt a little like, so he brought him here himself." Liu Zhong saw the Tan box again, and gained a bit of confidence.

Little eunuch, picked up the lid and clicked on the tin box.

In an instant, the air seemed to freeze, everyone's eyes were fixed on the little eunuch's hand, and their hearts were hung in the air.

Just listen to the "pop", the lid and the box match, and the patterns are connected, which is not bad at all. What's even more amazing is that the lid and the box cannot be opened because they fit together. After a closer look, a black paint dot pattern in the middle of the lid of the tin box actually bulged. The little eunuch gently pressed the bulging black dot with his hand, and heard a "pop", the lid automatically popped up. Everyone was dumbfounded for a while, and it turned out to be unprecedented and ingenious.

"Congratulations to Master Hou, Master Hou. Master Hou finally got what he wanted today. These two pieces are indeed a pair of originals. No matter how skilled a craftsman is, they can't fake it." The little eunuch hurriedly congratulated Liu Zhong, but he was right again. Liu Xin said: "Although this box and lid match, it doesn't prove that you are Liu Kai's descendants!"

Liu Zhong was shocked when he heard this. Did the emperor make it clear that he wanted to take back the state.

Liu Xin was prepared and said calmly: "My father-in-law, there is a genealogy in Xia, which is enough to prove Xia's identity. The genealogy is now in the lower part of the country. It has not been brought. Father-in-law wants to see it. Let's go. Just fetch it."

Liu Zhong was delighted, since there is a genealogy, it is hard for the emperor to say anything.

The little too listened, but looked dazed, and said silently for a long while: "Since there is a genealogy, that's not a big problem. However, now I am not in a hurry to read it. There is something coming from the palace, and Zhang Houye is going to come personally. Juchao, it will be here tomorrow. You will bring your genealogy here tomorrow. As for this Baotian box, you will leave it at the post house first, and wait until Hou Ye personally examine it tomorrow before returning it to you."

After Liu Xin and Liu Zhong listened to the little eunuch, they naturally knew that this piece of Lord Hou must be referring to Zhang Rang, the head of the "Ten Standing Attendants".

Instead, Liu Zhong became uneasy and asked, "Dare to ask this adult, I don't know if Zhang Houye came to live in the nest in person, what's the important thing?"

The little eunuch said impatiently: "Of course Zhang Houye has something to do here. As for what you want to do, it is not something you can do. You two went back earlier, and it will be clear tomorrow morning."
