After learning that Zhu Rong had given birth to Liu Xin’s son, Guan Yu replied with joy, but his expression was obviously a little unnatural, because Zhu Rong gave birth to a son. If the doll set between Cao Hui and Zhu Rong counts, Cao Hui will do it. You must have a daughter, and Guan Yu obviously hopes that she can have another son for herself.
Liu Xin couldn't help shaking his head. It seems that the patriarchal thought is not only Zhu Rongyou, but also popular in Guan Yu. However, these thoughts have long been ingrained in the minds of these people, and they will not be able to change for a while, and Liu Xin also Only to sigh, although Liu Xin comes from later generations and knows that Guan Yu did have a daughter in history, Liu Xin can be sure that the daughter of Guan Yu in history was definitely not born for him by Cao Hui, because in history, Cao Hui It’s Lu Bu’s woman,
Of course, Liu Xin couldn’t say these words to Guan Yu. He had to exchange a few words with him, and then sent someone to the medical school. Zhang Ji asked some female medical officers to go to Guan Yu’s house to check Cao Hui’s body. Guan Yu sent away, and Guan Yu had just been sent away. Before Liu Xin had time to turn around and return to the back house, a guard came to report again. Jushou asked to see him.
Jushou also came to say congratulations to Liu Xin, but his congratulations came from the heart. Liu's family was prosperous, and this great river and mountains didn’t have to worry about no one to succeed. After congratulating Liu Xinxi for winning his son, Jushou’s speech was changed and he reported. The recent situation of Liu Bei and Liu Bang, this is his main purpose for seeing Liu Xin today.
With the increasing number of civil and military staff under Liu Xin, there are fewer and fewer pre-built mansions in Dongcheng District of Xiangyang. It is no longer possible for people who are not particularly important to be arranged in Dongcheng District. Even so, Tian Feng is receiving Liu After Xin's order, he still tried his best to vacate three houses in Dongcheng District, which were allocated to Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Liu Bang. Liu Bei and Guan Yu had changed from former brothers to enemies. However, Tian Feng arranged the three houses. Close to each other, in fact, there is no other way, because there are really not many spare houses, so you can’t let others move.
Guan Yu is now a dragger, with a wife, a concubine, and a half-elder son. Liu Xin rewarded him with some maids and servants, and he looked like a family, while Liu Bei and Liu Bang were both lonely and widowed. There was not even a close person, but Liu Xin did not treat them badly. There were a lot of maids, servants and guards allotted to them. There was also a plaque of "Changle Hou Mansion" in front of Liu Bang's mansion.
All the guards in Liu Bang and Liu Bei's mansion are from elite flying tiger guards. These people have the highest loyalty to Liu Xin, and the probability of being bought by others is about zero. Moreover, these guards will rotate every six months, even if they spend a lot of money. The strength to buy them can only play a role for half a year at most, and the servants and servants assigned to the two people's residences are different from the ones who rewarded Guan Yu. The servants and servants who were rewarded to Guan Yu will all belong to Guan Yu's private property in the future. Guan Yu They have the right to dispose of them at will, and the maids and servants in Liu Bei and Liu Bang’s mansion are actually from the Phantom Secret Spy. Let’s not say that Liu Bei and Liu Bang have no right to dispose of them, and they must be kept under surveillance at all times.
With such rigorous measures, Liu Bei and Liu Bang's every move naturally cannot escape Liu Xin's eyes. They eat, drink and sleep every day, where they have been, and who they have met are clearly recorded, without any omission.
Therefore, when he heard that Ju Shou was here to report on Liu Bei and Liu Bang's situation, Liu Xin couldn't help but lifted his spirits and asked: "What's wrong with Liu Bei?"
Jushou said, "Going back to the lord, Liu Bei stayed in the house all day. He only knew how to weave straw shoes and weave straw mats. Even the palace gate rarely took a step out."
Liu Xin frowned and said, "Is it possible that Liu Bang would do anything unusual,"
It stands to reason that Juchao country no longer exists, and Liu Bang has already returned to Xiangyang, so he should live in the prefecture, and live with his "biological father" and "biological mother", but Liu Xin thought that Liu Bang had already lived. Others, and he was given the title of Chang Lehou, so he should have been set up outside on the grounds that he opened his mansion alone.
Some people who understand have already faintly felt that Liu Xin's purpose in doing this was not to let Liu Bang inherit his foundation, and those who did not understand but thought Liu Xin was too hard-hearted and did not have a "born son" who had been separated for many years. A touch of warmth, saying that father and son are connected, Liu Xin’s attitude towards Liu Bang can’t help but make people suspect that Liu Bang is not Liu Xin’s son at all.
Fortunately, Ma Yun is very enthusiastic towards Liu Bang. Not only does he hold his hand affectionately every time he sees Liu Bang, Bang’er Chang Bang’er talks shortly, and he also takes Liu Bang into the prefecture for many times. Dress him in the best clothes and eat the best delicacies. The children in the State Shepherd’s House are not repulsive to Liu Bang. When they see him, they will obediently call him eldest brother, especially Liu Yu. He belongs to these children. The boss, unexpectedly, was also very enthusiastic about Liu Bang. With the eldest brother’s matter, this dispelled the outside world’s suspicion about Liu Bang’s identity.
However, Liu Bang is different from Liu Bei. He is only a twelve-year-old boy without a city government. After he came to Xiangyang, he regarded himself as the young master of the city. The prosperity of Xiangyang city is comparable to that of Luoyang, the capital of the year. The city is novel and fun. There are endless things in the world, and a single illusion hall will make Liu Bang never tire of it.
Therefore, as long as it is not bad weather, Liu Bang will walk on the streets almost every day, walking on the streets of Xiangyang City, with a group of sturdy guards, followed by a few eye-sighted servants, shouting and embracing. , This kind of battle, no matter when he was living in the country of Chaos or when Yuan Shu was placed under house arrest in Lujiang, he did not have the prestige and young Liu Bang like today, he already has a somewhat dull taste.
Liu Xin had heard reports on these situations a few days ago. Today Jushou is just repeating the old tune, and there is nothing new. Liu Xin felt a little disappointed, waved his hand, and said: "He has been negligent in discipline since he was young. He didn't do anything special, let him play it, and don't worry about him for the time being."
Although Liu Xin didn’t know where Liu Zhong got Liu Bang, he can at least be regarded as Liu Zhong’s adopted son anyway, and Liu Zhong is really the nephew of his adoptive father. So for Liu Bang, Liu Xin still intends to make his life better.
After hearing Liu Xin's words, Jushou chuckled and said, "The subordinates are also very clear about this. The subordinates came today to ask the lord. The sixth lady is calm and the lord will go north soon."
It is Liu Xin’s established policy to regain control of the Western Regions and open up the Silk Road. Jushou knows this very well. He can regain control of the Western Regions that have been out of control for many years. It is a contribution to every civil and military under Liu Xin. With a great opportunity, Jushou naturally didn’t want to let it go.
Just like Jushou knows Liu Xin very well, Liu Xin also knows Jushou very well. When he heard Jushou say these words, he understood what he meant. He couldn't help but laughed and said, "Gongyou is planning to go north with Liu. "
Jushou stood up, clasped his fists, and said, "Since the master master taught Taijiquan, his subordinates have practiced diligently day and night without getting hot or cold. Although they have grown older, their bones have become stronger..."
Liu Xin laughed and said, "Gongyou, you don't have to think about going north."
Jushou asked inexplicably: "Why?"
Liu Xin nodded and said: "Liu always believes that Liu Bei will not stay at home as simple as this, and Xiangyang still needs his husband to sit down in person, and the husband cannot leave."
Jushou knew that Liu Xin hadn't left for the Western Regions for a long time, just to be able to stay with her when Zhu Rong was raised, so he waited until Zhu Rong was raised before he proposed that he wanted to go north with Liu Xin. The timing was just right, in order to win Liu Xin. Able to agree to his request, he also sorted out the recent activities of Liu Bei and Liu Bang in detail to prove that they did not pose any threat. However, Liu Xin still refused his request. Jushou couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Liu Xin saw Jushou’s expression in his eyes, and couldn’t help patting him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: “Gongyou, you also know that Mr. Wenhe has already done a lot of things in the Western Regions. If you insert it now, It is inevitable that there will be suspicion of grabbing merit,"
Jushou wanted to follow Liu Xin to make this lifeless work, but he didn't think that there was still this layer of joints. He was stunned for a moment, his old face blushed, and he said, "The subordinates will follow the lord's instructions, and Liu Bei will definitely look after him. He must die, he will never be allowed to make any tricks,"
In fact, even if Liu Xin approved Jushou long ago, they are all righteous gentlemen, and they usually pay much attention to their own words and deeds. It is impossible to do things like grabbing credit with others. Of course, if you say this in person, It is very possible to hurt Jushou’s self-esteem, but seeing that what he said just now couldn’t convince Jushou, Liu Xin had to sacrifice this assassin.
Hearing that Jushou finally agreed to stay, Liu Xin smiled, waved his hand, and said: "Gongyou, although you can't go with Liu to the Western Regions, the burden on your shoulders is not light, not only should you be optimistic about Liu Bei." I have to show Liu Bang to me. More importantly, we must keep an eye on Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the north. These two talents are our true rivals."
Jusie suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He was blindly greedy, and forgot that there were two great enemies, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. If he missed the lord’s major event because of this, it would be hard to redeem him.
After persuading Jushou, Liu Xin stayed in Xiangyang for a few days, and then began to take care of things going north, and Zhu Rong's body was much stronger than ordinary women, and the blush on his face had already returned to the next day. He couldn’t help but walked down the ground. Hearing that Liu Xin was about to leave home again, Zhu Rong was the most reluctant. He held Liu Xin’s hand for a long time and refused to let go.
Liu Xin smiled and comforted: "This time I'm going to run a business road, not to fight a war, don't worry, I will definitely be back before it snows at the latest."
Zhu Rong bit her lip and said for a while: "Brother, I have a gift for you,"
