Liu Rui is a girl who is not moving at all. Coupled with Zhu Qian's long-term and strict discipline, she deserves to be quieter. There is no entertainment such as TV and the Internet in this era, and even books are pitifully scarce. Listen to stories. It became her greatest enjoyment. The little girl couldn't help but stared at Liu Xin expectantly.
Liu Xin looked at the little girl’s lovely appearance, like a porcelain doll, and couldn’t help squeezing her round face with a fat baby, and said: “A long, long time ago, above the vast ocean, there was A fairy mountain. There is a stone on the top of this fairy mountain. According to legend, it is a fairy stone left by the goddess Nuwa to patch up the sky. This stone stays on the top of the mountain for many years. The wind blows and the sun absorbs the sky and the earth. Aura, picking up the essence of the sun and the moon, suddenly burst open one day, and a stone monkey jumped out of it..."
Not far away, Qiao'er was taking Liu Yu to play wildly in the snow. As soon as she turned her head, she saw Liu Rui sitting in Liu Xin's arms. She didn't know what he was saying, and a chuckle appeared on her face from time to time. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but feel bitter. His wife promised Liu Xin to accept her. It has been half a year, but Liu Xin hasn't even touched her with a finger. Now she is so affectionate to such a little girl. , I couldn't help feeling sour, thinking that they were father and daughter now, and didn't feel amused at what I thought.
Qiao'er was suffering from gains and losses there, and if he didn't pay attention, Liu Yu fell into a big somersault in the snow and burst into tears "Wow". Qiao'er panicked and hugged Liu Yu in a hurry.
Liu Xin heard her son's cry and didn't know what happened, so she put Liu Rui down and said, "That's all for the story today. Let's go and see what's wrong with your brother."
Qiaoer saw Liu Xin coming over, and said, "Master, I..."
Liu Xin has already seen it clearly. Her son just fell. The snow has already fallen heavily, so it won’t hurt much. It’s just that the south is very humid, so this snow is different from the north. The clothes on Liu Yu But she got wet a lot earlier, so she interrupted her and said, "It's okay, the boy fell into a somersault, something nervous. Let's go, go back and change his clothes. If he really catches a cold, Madam will be to blame."
Liu Yu just cried out subconsciously, and when he saw Liu Xin coming over, he smiled again. He was having a good time, where would he be willing to go back. Liu Rui was also hearing the wonderful things, this story was much better than those her mother told, and she didn't want to go back now. The two siblings pulled Liu Xin's hand to the left and the other to act like a baby.
Liu Xin was hesitating. Seeing Zhu Qian looking for him, he took the opportunity to say: "Look, my mother called you to go home for dinner, don't leave soon."
When Zhu Qian saw Liu Xin hugged Liu Yu and walked in front, she also took Liu Rui's hand and followed them closely, but quietly reprimanded: "Rui'er, you were too outrageous just now. How can you pester the master like that? Tonight Go back and give me an hour on my knees!"
Although her voice was soft, it reached Liu Xin's ears early. Liu Xin turned her head and said to her: "Qian'er, Rui'er is just a child, what do you do to her so fiercely."
Zhu Qian nodded and said nothing. Liu Xin knew that she didn't agree with her in her heart, so she sighed secretly. Zhu Qian's thinking was too old-fashioned. It seemed that she was looking for a chance to have a good talk with her.
This newly-built Zhoumufu is very large, with two flower halls in the east and west, which are specially prepared for guests staying. Like other courtyards, there are many new styles of furniture in the east and west flower halls, especially for banquet guests. In the wing room, there is a special round table, which is not seen in other places in this era.
Liu Xin insisted on arranging today's dinner in the wing room of the East Flower Hall, so that the whole family sat around this big round table.
In the past, Liu Xin took turns eating in the three of them. Ma Yun has always eaten at the same table with Liu Xin, which is justified in her eyes. Although Bian Yu felt that something was wrong, he couldn't resist Liu Xin's three persuasion, and reluctantly agreed to sit with him for dinner. Only Zhu Qian, insisting on the dogma of eating at different tables for men and women, must wait for Liu Xin to finish eating before she hastily grabbed two meals.
Liu Xin waited for everyone to sit down before returning to their seats, and solemnly announced: "From now on, our whole family will sit and eat together like this."
Ma Yun had always liked the lively character, and she clapped her hands in agreement and said: "Yes, there were no conditions in the past. Now with this big round table, sitting together, we have the appearance of a family."
Liu Xin turned his head and saw Qiao'er holding Liu Yu standing aside, pointing to an empty chair, and said, "You sit here too, we don't need the rules of different seats between father and son."
Although Qiao'er understood Liu Xin's meaning, he asked Liu Yu to sit on the table. She was only dazzled by taking care of Liu Yu, but she was very excited in her heart, and she was at the same table with the old lady. Said that he is also with their family. Bian Yu’s personal maid, Xiao Ying’er, saw Qiao’er sitting on the chair with a grin, and was very upset, hoping that the master could give birth to the baby in his belly soon, and she could sit at this big table one day. .
These two little maids had their own thoughts. Zhu Qian, who was also a maid in the prefecture, was already embarrassed in sitting in a chair. Although she was also an old lady in Nanyang, the family rules were very strict. When her ex-husband ate, She can only serve on the sidelines. She can accept sleeping with Liu Xin in a sex, but eating at the same table with the old lady now is not incompatible with the education she had received in the past. She feels like sitting on pins and needles.
Liu Xin did this today, in fact, to make her change, so he has been observing the changes in her expression in secret, frowning, and asking, "Qian'er, where are you uncomfortable?"
Zhu Qian replied in a panic: "No, no. I'm fine."
Liu Xin smiled, glanced at Bian Yu again, and said, "Since there is nothing uncomfortable, let's eat quickly. When a family is together, we must live happily and harmoniously. Don't treat those dignity and inferiority. Noble things are always in mind."
Bian Yu said openly: "The concubine just remembers the master's words."
Zhu Qian only responded softly. Liu Xin knew that this matter was in a hurry, and didn't say anything else, but kept adding vegetables to their bowls. Ma Yun was very happy, she seemed to have gone back to the scene of eating with classmates and colleagues in the past, and even told a joke on the table.
For dinner, everyone except Zhu Qian ate happily. Even Liu Rui became a lot more cheerful. From time to time, Ma Yun was amused by laughter. He had forgotten that his stern mother was sitting next to him. When she lost her job, she went to pester Liu Xin, wanting to hear him continue to tell the story. Zhu Qian knew that Liu Xin would definitely rest in Bian Yu's room tonight, and quickly pulled her away. Or Liu Xin saw that the little girl kept pouting a small mouth, and came out to persuade: "Rui'er, go back with your mother first, and father will tell you tomorrow night until you sleep, okay?"
Liu Rui then reluctantly followed her mother back.
Ma Yun said strangely: "Husband, Rui'er, this child was disciplined by her mother like a boring gourd. She usually doesn't talk to me and Yu'er much. What story did you tell her, and let her listen to you like this? ."
Liu Xin triumphantly attached to Ma Yun's ear, and whispered three words mysteriously: "Journey to the West."
Ma Yun was taken aback for a moment, and then she covered her mouth and smiled: "No culture, it's a story with the Tang Dynasty as the background. It's still hundreds of years away."
Liu Xin became even more proud, and whispered: "With you and me, the Tang Dynasty is afraid that it will never appear again. It doesn't matter if there is a Tang Dynasty later, because the uneducated person is not me, but you."
Ma Yun didn't understand, and asked, "Why me?"
Liu Xin smirked: "Because I told Ruier that this story was told to me by her aunt."
Ma Yun was so angry that a pair of pink fists were raining on Liu Xin, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You villain, how dare you plant on me!"
Bian Yu watched the two of them flirting and cursing from a distance, coming over intentionally, but couldn't move forward. At night, she waited for Liu Xin to lie down, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Master, what did you say to your wife just now, so happy."
Liu Xin asked in surprise: "Oh, are you watching by the side?"
Bian Yu blushed and gave a soft "um".
Liu Xin hugged her into her arms, patted her on the back lightly, and said: "If you want to hear what we say in the future, just walk over by yourself. The family will look like a family, so you don't need to be so careful everywhere."
Bian Yu blushed even more when he thought of the appearance of the two of them, and said, "How embarrassed people are."
This beauty in her arms seldom acted like this with him before. Liu Xin knew that today's arrangement for Zhu Qian had actually worked on Bian Yu, and she began to release herself. Liu Xin always loves her own woman very much. Seeing the beautiful woman in front of her with a swelling belly, remembering that she is the famous Wu Xuan empress, but now she is giving birth to her own children, and her heart can't help but rise. Kind of unreal feeling.
Seeing that Liu Xin was distracted, Bian Yu asked with concern, "Master, what are you thinking?"
Liu Xin smiled and said: "I'm thinking, how can Liu Mou, He De, can marry such a beautiful woman like a flower."
After listening to Liu Xin's words, Bian Yu suddenly shed two lines of tears.
Liu Xin said strangely: "It's good, why are you crying?"
Bian Yu wiped his tears, changed his smile, and said, "No wonder the master, the slave family is now pregnant. I can't help but think of my parents. The second elder is no longer alive. I was a little sad for a while. When I was a child, I heard my father said that there was a husband for The Nu family used to fortune telling that the Nu family must be very expensive in the future, but he did not expect that he would really marry the master today."
Liu Xin knew that in her eyes, she was a great official as a state shepherd. Although he always thought that Bian Yu was Cao Cao's step-wife Bian, he was still not sure. Hearing what she said, she became even more convinced that she was the future Empress Wu Xuan, and couldn't help but try her again, so she said: "Yu'er, you are going to be a mother soon. Have you ever thought about giving your child a name ?"
