Bian Yu hummed softly: "Kiss my baby, I want to cross the mountains, look for the missing sun, look for the missing moon..."
Liu Xin couldn't help asking: "Yu'er, why did you sing this song?"
Bian Yu suddenly heard Liu Xin's voice, startled, opened his eyes, and said in surprise: "Master!"
Seeing that she was about to get up, Liu Xin gently held her down, and said with concern: "You can lie down, don't get up, don't mess with your hair."
Bian Yu smiled gratefully at Liu Xin and said, "Master, this song was taught by my wife. The tune is a bit strange, but it's pretty good."
Ever since Bian Yu followed Liu Xin, she has refused to call Ma Yun Sister Yun, regardless of her predecessors and others, she insisted on calling her his wife. As for Liu Xin asking her to call her husband, she also refused to live or die. Liu Xin and Ma Yun knew that she was talking about the difference between superiority and inferiority. They persuaded them a few times, but they couldn't hold her back, so they had to let her go.
In fact, Liu Xin had already guessed that Ma Yun taught her this, otherwise Bian Yu would also become a traverser. It’s just that Liu Xin didn’t expect Bian Yu to sing popular songs so beautifully, and couldn’t help boasting: “That’s my Yuer who sang well. Come and reward you with an orange.”
Bian Yu swallowed the orange Liu Xin stuffed into her mouth, and there was a hint of blush on her face. She said shyly: "Master, you and Madam are so kind to me. Madam taught me a lot of songs, she said Singing often, I feel comfortable and good for a baby in my stomach. May I sing one more song for you?"
Seeing her, Liu Xin thought about getting up again and said with a smile: "We are a family, so we should be nice to you. Just lie down and hum a few words, don't get tired."
Bian Yu refused to listen to him this time, insisting on standing up. Liu Xin had to help her support her long hair, slowly supporting her up, and loosening her hand, Bian Yu's long hair fell like a waterfall and fell straight down to her waist.
Both Liu Xin and Ma Yun used to have short haircuts. They had been growing for more than two years before they reached their shoulders. Both Bian Yu and Zhu Qian have long hair since they were young. They usually put their hair in a bun. It is the first time that Liu Xin saw Bian Yu standing upright with her long hair waist-to-length. Fumbling up and down, he said, "Yu'er, you are so beautiful."
Bian Yu twisted slightly, then leaned in his arms and sang: "Just because I looked at you more in the crowd, I never forgot your face again, dreaming of seeing you again by chance..."
After singing a song, Liu Xin couldn't help being stunned, and even forgot to cheer. Bian Yu's voice is soft and beautiful, with a wide range and good sound quality. It is simply the sound of nature. If it is placed in later generations, it is definitely at the level of the queen of heaven. Although Ma Yun often hums pop songs, compared with Bian Yu, that is the difference between an entry-level amateur singer and a top professional singer.
Seeing that Liu Xin didn't say a word, Bian Yu turned around and asked, "Master, how is the slave's singing?"
Liu Xin came back to his senses and said, "I have heard your song, and I really want the remaining sound to surround the beam. I don't know the smell of meat for three days."
Bian Yu covered her mouth and smiled: "Master, there is no such exaggeration. By the way, Master, how come you are free today."
Liu Xin remembered that she had come here today, but there was something important. Remembering that Zhu Qian had such a big misunderstanding last night, so she said something else and said: "Yu'er, I am going to go to the far door, and I will tell you first. individual."
Bian Yu asked strangely: "Master, where are you going?"
Liu Xin said, "I want to go to Changsha."
Bian Yu asked puzzledly: "Chinese New Year is coming soon, sir, what are you doing in Changsha at this time?"
Liu Xin explained patiently: "Changsha is very important, so Tian Feng, Xu Chu, and Huang Zhong can't go back to Xiangyang for the New Year, and their families stay in Xiangyang for their children to study. I want to take this trip before the Spring Festival. Look at them and escort their family to reunite with them by the way."
Bian Yu nodded and said, "So it's like this."
Liu Xin continued: "Yu'er, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are more things in the house. Yun'er and you are both pregnant. Qian'er is also pregnant now. Don't be too tired, wait for me. I won’t stay outside for too long when I come back. In addition, I would like to ask you if there is any method of contraception in your place, that is, the method that will not conceive a child."
Bian Yu's flushed face suddenly turned pale.
Having learned from Zhu Qian's lessons, Liu Xin hurriedly explained: "Yu'er, don't get me wrong. You can have as many children as you want. I'm not looking for this method for you, but for other people. "
Bian Yu listened to his explanation, but didn't mean the slightest joy. Crystal tears kept rolling in his eyes, and said sadly: "Master, do you look down on the slave family and dislike the origin of the slave family."
Only then did Liu Xin understand what she meant, and quickly comforted: "Yu'er, where did you want to go. I like it too late, so how can I look down on you. Although you came from a brothel, you are still in the mud, which is admirable. It’s just that this method is very important to me, so I have to evoke your sad past. You won’t blame me, will you?”
Bian Yu managed to resist the tears, but a careful liver still babbled, breathing for a moment and said: "Master, there are some prescriptions among our brothel sisters that can prevent the child from being pregnant. Although I haven't tried it, I think it should be effective. I will write it down in a while."
Liu Xin heard that she really had a way, and she became excited, and said, "It's better for my family, Yuer, if this is done, you are a great achievement."
Don’t worry, Bian Yu couldn’t help but gossiping and asked, “Master, who do you want this recipe for?”
Liu Xin stubbornly said: "This, you don't have to ask about this, remember to keep it secret!"
Bian Yu remembered that time in the garden, he was almost taken over by him. He couldn't help but guess that he hadn't controlled it outside and did something that shouldn't. He quickly said: "These recipes must be pre-existing. It’s only effective if you use it, and I’m afraid it won’t work if you use it afterwards."
Liu Xin saw that Bian Yu's clear eyes were full of skepticism, and couldn't help but think of Zhu Qian's strange eyes last night, and finally realized that they all wanted to be crooked. But the method of contraception is to help Ma Yun find, this matter can not be said to be killed. Liu Xin sighed secretly, come on, let me recite the scapegoat, so I changed the subject and said: "Yu'er, you sang really nicely just now. Can you sing another song for me?"
Bian Yu is very happy now. The haze of the moment has been wiped out, not only because he praised Liu Xin for singing well, but more importantly, he said in person that he likes himself! Although Liu Xin has always been pretty good to himself, he said the words like himself for the first time. The joy in his heart finally defeated the gossip. Bian Yu’s face was filled with a happy smile and sang: "Sweet honey, You laughed sweetly, as if flowers were blooming in the spring breeze..."
Although Liu Xin wanted to go to Changsha before the Spring Festival, Bian Yu and Zhu Qian did not dare to have any objections. Ma Yun knew Liu Xin's ambitions, and her husband was willing to make progress. She was also happy to see the results, so naturally she would not have any opinions. What's more, she, like Liu Xin, knew that Sun Wu, one of the forces of the Three Kingdoms, started in Changsha, and also understood Changsha's special status in Jingzhou. Just about this, she would not have any hindrance, but just told him to be careful along the way.
Although Liu Xin's family has no problems here, Kuailiang, Kuai Yue, Jushou and others all persuaded Liu Xin to give up this long journey. The reason for Kuailiang and Kuaiyue is that Liu Xin, as the master of Jingzhou, should sit in Xiangyang and not stay away. Jushou was mainly worried about Liu Xin's safety, after all, Jingzhou was not completely in their hands.
Liu Xin knew in his heart that Kuailiang and Kuai Yue wished that they would always stay in Xiangyang, just like the emperor could not leave the palace casually. But Liu Xin didn't want to be a general and a commander in Chinese chess. He only moved Cong in a few squares. What he wanted to do was the king of chess, who could cross the world like a warrior. As for Jushou's worries, Liu Xin had already thought about it. He was going to Changsha by water.
Although Jingzhou's navy was stationed in Jiangxia, it was actually in the hands of Liu Xin. Liu Xin has sent Zhang Yun to Jiangling to build a new water village. The original plan was to transfer the navy to Jiangling for easy control and supply. However, considering that the navy is stationed in Jiangxia, it is also a check on Huang Zu, so this piece The matter was put on hold.
The formation of the Jingzhou navy was originally 10,000, and most of the losses were lost in the Nanyang battle. Later, Liu Xin selected some people from the Xiangyang New Army to add in, and now it remains at the level of 5,000. In this way, the original warship is more than half. At present, the supply of the navy and the connection between Xiangyang and Changsha rely on the navy through the waterway. Liu Xin did this for two reasons. One was to train the navy's actual combat ability, as it was to train the navy, and the other was because Huang Zu had not clearly stated that he would obey Liu Xin's command. Liu Xin treated him. Still not at ease, after several rounds, the navy's redundant warships were quietly transferred to Jiangling.
As the Spring Festival is approaching, Liu Xin ordered that from the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, the officials in the five counties of Jingxiang can take a one-month holiday, but at the same time, each yamen should also make arrangements on duty. Soldiers can also take turns to rest, and the civilian workers on the construction site have now all gone home on holiday. The only thing that cannot be holidayed is the more than 20,000 Yellow Turban prisoners of war. They have all been transferred to the counties and began to build a connection between the counties. The official way.
As the captain of the Jingzhou navy, Cai Hao can also enjoy this month's holiday. He heard that Liu Xin was going to Changsha by water, so he personally led a team of warships to Xiangyang. Liu Xin understood what he meant, so he specifically approved him to leave early, because Liu Xin knew that the group of people he had brought from Hejian were not familiar with water warfare. In this regard, he had to rely on his cousins, Cai Hao and Zhang Yun. Cai Hao is also a romantic figure. In Jiangxia for half a year, he couldn't go casually in the city. He was trapped in the water village all day, but he was suffocated. This time, he was amnesty and even claimed to be thankful.
For a long time, the South was relatively calm, there was no war, and the navy did not get much development accordingly. The Jingzhou navy is mainly equipped with three types of warships, the smaller ones are the canoe and the Mengchong, and the largest is a two-story building. Cai Hao brought two boats to Xiangyang, two boats each from Mengchong, and four boats from Qingzhou.
In the early morning of the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Xin left Jushou in charge of Jingzhou’s government affairs, Zhang Fei was in charge of Xiangyang’s regular army, Dianwei led Feihu’s guards to protect official residences, research institutes, and academies. He himself took Zhao Yun, Wen Pin boarded the ship that served as the command ship, accompanied by Mr. Xu and the family members of Tian Feng and Huang Zhong.
