Diao Chan never asked Liu Xin about official business, but when I heard that the person Liu Xin was going to visit was called Qiaoyuan, he immediately thought of Ma Yun’s order that those with the surname "Qiao" should be fixed firmly. I can allow Liu Xin to meet in private,
Liu Xin was slightly surprised, but thinking about what she said also had some truth, she went to visit Qiaoyuan on her own and wanted to discuss something with him. It would be a bit nonsense to bring Qiling Lu to follow, but if Diaochan also went there, The situation is different. Besides, according to Jushou's opinion, the bridge is far stinky and hard, and I took my family with me. Maybe I can put on some closeness, nodded, and agreed.
Liu Xin got on the carriage he made for the first time.
Lu Qiling always took his hand and refused to let it go, and put on a look of grievances. In order to show her comfort, Liu Xin had to get into the carriage with Diaochan and Lu Qiling. The carriage was very large, even though Liu Xin was as big as Liu Xin. Sitting inside, he didn't feel crowded at all. The coachman raised his whip, and under the escort of a team of guards, the carriage drove smoothly towards the south of the city.
Diao Chan saw Liu Xin's brows frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking, "Master, do you have any thoughts?"
Good news from all over the place frequently came. Runan won, Lujiang won, and the remnants sent by Yuan Shu to Jiujiang were chased by Gaoshun. It was only a matter of time before they were destroyed, but Liu Xin always felt that there was something wrong, just after all. What's wrong, he didn't even want to understand, how did he say to Diaochan,
Seeing Liu Xin's silence, Diao Chan hesitated and said: "Master, there is something in the slave family that I don't know if it should be said or not."
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Chan'er, the husband and wife should have been frankly treating each other, and there is nothing that can't be said. No matter what they say, I won't blame you."
Diaochan hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master, the slave family thinks that Young Master Liu Bang is not your and his wife."
Liu Xin was surprised secretly, and quickly asked, "Chan'er, why do you have this idea?"
Diao Chan felt this way when he saw Liu Bang's first glance, but he didn't dare to say it. Now that he has said it, Diao Chan has no scruples anymore, a trace of worry flashed across his face, and continued. : "Master, the slave thinks that he looks neither like you nor his wife. Could it be someone else's fake?"
Before Liu Xin could answer, Lu Qiling had already said, "God, Ling'er thinks Master is right. Brother Liu Yu never bullies people."
"Slap," Lu Qiling received another slap on her little butt, and Liu Xin pretended to say angrily: "Little girl, adults are not allowed to interrupt."
After this slap, Lu Qiling was honest, she lay on Liu Xin's chest and said nothing, but Liu Xin's brows became tighter. Lu Qiling was the goddaughter he recognized, and Liu Yu was a god-sibling relationship with Liu Yu, but Lu Qiling I have never called Liu Yu "brother", and Liu Yu and his siblings can't play with Lu Qiling. Now Lu Qiling suddenly calls Liu Yu brother, is it just because she was victimized by Liu Bang Bullying, I’m afraid it’s not that simple,
Of course, children cannot have such complicated thoughts. What they are arguing about is who their parents love more. The reason why Liu Yu and the others are reluctant to play with Lu Qiling is also because Liu Xin often takes Lu Qiling out, but very much Don't take them out together. In fact, Liu Xin is not a saint. He certainly cares more about his own children than Lu Qiling. He also wants to take his children out for fun, but since the last time he wanted to go out with Han Dang After the kidnapping of Liu Yu, Liu Xin became cautious and easily refused to go out with the children. After all, it is still a troubled world, and he cannot afford any negligence.
In fact, as long as they are in Xiangyang, Liu Xin spends much more time with her children than with Lu Qiling, but those children are still a little jealous. They are now fighting for their father’s favor, and in the future Will you fight for a certain position? Such stories are not uncommon in history. Now, Liu Bang has appeared again, and the situation is more complicated.
Liu Xin's face became serious. No wonder Jushou has always been hesitant to speak these days. It seems that he has some thoughts, but he should be here. Since ancient times, whether it is an emperor or a commoner, regardless of whether his family business is large or small, he is inheriting When I go down, I will pass it on either to the eldest son or to the eldest son. Now, Liu Bang has all the identities of the eldest son and the eldest son. Wouldn’t it be possible that he will pass this state to him in the future
Seeing the change of expression on Liu Xin's face, Diao Chan asked nervously, "Master, did the slave say something wrong?"
Liu Xin smiled suddenly and said: "It's nothing, Liu Bang is short and fat, and indeed does not look like my wife and I, but Long gave birth to nine sons, and each is different. As for his character and character, most of them are cultivated by later generations. , These don’t explain much, alas, it’s pitiful that he left his parents since he was a child, and I don’t plan to go into it anymore.”
I knew that this embarrassing situation would have formed today. Liu Xin would not make this deal with Liu Zhong what he said at the beginning, but at the time he only wanted to have a place to live, and he had never thought that he would have the opportunity to sit in the world. It's too late to regret now,
Diao Chan said suddenly: "Master, the slave family has a way,"
Liu Xin was surprised: "What can you do?"
Diao Chan said very positively: "Acknowledge your relatives with a drop of blood,"
"Blood confession," Liu Xin opened her mouth wide and laughed for a while, "You can think of such an unreliable thing. Okay, isn't it just a child? Our family is not a child. Sorry, whether it is true or not, you see, the carriage has stopped, presumably the bridge house has arrived, let’s get off."
Regarding the unfounded scientific basis of the blood confession, it has caused a lot of unjust, false and wrong cases in history. Of course Liu Xin would not do it. Besides, it doesn’t matter if Liu Bang is now when he and Liu were trading again. The child of, is still a counterfeit that Yuan Shu and Liu Bei found from other places. Anyway, he has no blood relationship with him. Any more blood to recognize relatives is simply unnecessary.
Jushou's voice sounded outside the car: "Lord Qi, the bridge house is here,"
Liu Xin jumped off the carriage. In front of him was a closed gate with vermilion lacquer. There was a wooden plaque above the gate with the words "Qiaofu" written on it. He waved his hand and said, "Gong and, go on. Call the door before,"
Since Liu Xin has announced the ban, many people have already walked out of their homes. After all, opening the door for a living requires firewood, rice, oil and salt. It is not a problem to stay at home, because the war has just subsided, and the people are still a little worried, and walking on the street is also rushing , But finally opened the door, but the door of Qiaojia was still closed, which made Liu Xin slightly unhappy.
It didn’t take long to knock on the door. Jushou only knocked twice, and the door opened with a "creak". However, when the door opened, only a small slit opened. In the slit, an old servant protruded. At first, he asked vigilantly: "Who are you looking for?"
Jushou arched his hands and said, "My lord came to pay a visit to Master Qiao."
The old servant only said, "My master has ordered it, and I haven't seen any guests these days", and then closed the door with a "slap".
Liu Xin sneered, "Sure enough, it's smelly and hard. Come here and smash the door open."
Several guards rushed forward upon hearing the sound, and kicked the vermilion lacquer gate that had just been closed with a "boom" sound. The old servant had just closed the door, and before he had time to walk back to the gatehouse, he hurriedly turned and stopped him. The guards said loudly: "You, how dare you break into the house privately, hey, you, you can't go in, ah..."
Before the old servant had finished speaking, he was picked up by a few guards and dragged into the concierge. Liu Xin took Diao Chan and Lu Qiling, accompanied by Jushou, lifted his foot into the bridge house, although he was uninvited. , The look on his face was calm,
When several servants in the front yard heard the movement, they turned around and saw a group of soldiers with armored armors rushing in, surrounded by a few people. They hurried over, but did not dare to stop, Liu Xin's face sank. , He asked: "Where is your master?"
A family came up tremblingly and stammered: "Master, master he is in the back house,"
"The back house," Jushou frowned and said, "Master, it seems something is wrong for us to break into the back house of someone else's house like this, do you see if you let them go in and report again,"
Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Didn’t you inform me at the door just now? Liu also came with a female family member. There is nothing wrong with breaking into his back house. Let’s go, I want to see this smelly. What kind of person is the tough Master Bridge,"
To tell the truth, Liu Xin can never do things like breaking into a private house, let alone breaking into someone else’s back house, but Liu Xin has heard that Qiaoyuan has a bad temper, and Yuan Shu had assigned him to Dare to top, naturally you can’t treat him in the same way you treat ordinary people.
However, after all, it was the inner house of a large family, and the guards who accompanied them knew the importance and consciously stayed outside.
In the backyard of Qiaofu, several maids were doing chores. Suddenly they saw someone break in. They couldn't help but scream. Liu Xin pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist and asked, "No yelling, Qiao Yuan where is it,"
The maid pointed her hand to the back. There was a long corridor where red flowers and green willows were faintly visible, and there was also the sound of women frolicking from time to time. It must be the back garden of the bridge house.
Liu Xin didn't even think about it. He held Diaochan with one hand and Lu Qiling with the other. He swaggered and walked over. Jushou hesitated for a moment, but he froze there and didn't follow him. Although he is not young, he is a man after all. , It’s a last resort to enter other people’s back homes casually, and then enter the back gardens of other people’s homes, and there are still women frolicking there, spreading out, there is no place for his old face to rest.
