…
"Humph, bullying too much, bullying too much, no, I want to write a letter to the court, I want to write a letter, Your Majesty, the words and deeds of Liu Mang, the king of Shu, are simply an insult to the Holy Majesty and the royal family!" Qiao Xuan returned to Zhou Yu's mansion Immediately he was out of breath. ...,
This old man is angry, he has never seen such a shameless person, Qiao Xuan said he is shameless, he is not ashamed but proud, shameless to the extreme.
"Father, what's wrong with you! Who messed with you!" Qiao Yue asked her father knowing that her father and Zhou Yu had returned.
"It's not Liu Mang, King of Shu!" Qiao Xuan's voice amplified.
"Him? What happened to him?" Qiao Yue asked anxiously.
"He doesn't want to marry you!" Qiao Xuan said to Qiao Yue.
"Really!" Qiao Yue felt a bit of bitterness in her heart, "Sure enough, he still likes my sister more!"
"Yue'er, it's not that His Highness doesn't want to marry you! Hey!" Zhou Yu didn't know how to explain it, so he just wanted to appease Qiao Xuan first.
"Qiao Gong, calm down, calm down!" Zhou Yu persuaded Qiao Xuan from the side, "Qiao Gong, it is understandable for you to let him marry Yue'er, but you let His Royal Highness the King of Shu divorce his wife, isn't it a strong man's difficulty? !" Zhou Yu looked at Qiao Xuan in embarrassment and said.
"It's difficult for others? Why is it difficult for others? Could it be that my daughter is married as a concubine? Hehe, I, Qiao Xuan, can't afford to lose this person. Although my Qiao family is not a noble family, it is also a scholarly family. If an unknown matchmaker is marrying, others will What do you think of me, Qiao Xuan?" After all, Qiao Xuan still has trouble with face. Hitting a swollen face to pretend to be a fat man is just like Qiao Xuan.
But Qiao Xuan also has the strength to save face, which one of the whole big man doesn't call Qiao Gong when he sees him. Even a few years ago, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty sent someone to send a letter, claiming to be a disciple. You can know how awesome this old man is.
This Qiao Xuan's achievements when he was young did not have to be inferior to Liu Mang. If Qiao Xuan hadn't been born for decades. Maybe half of the world is surnamed Joe. And Liu Mang is just a bad boy in Qiao Xuan's mind. Now this bad boy still has two labels of shameless and indecent.
"But Mr. Qiao, if things go on like this, neither you nor His Royal Highness the King of Shu will be able to get down!" Zhou Yu became bitter. Originally, he planned to be beautiful, but unexpectedly, he shot himself in the foot. That's why Qiao Xuan insisted on asking Liu Mang, the King of Shu, to marry Qiao Yue as his wife. If Liu Mang killed you, Qiao Xuan, I wouldn't bother you.
"I still don't believe this old man, Liu Mang, the king of Shu, can still use power to suppress people! I'm afraid he won't succeed!" Qiao Xuan said stubbornly. When he was young, he was not afraid of the powerful. Not to mention old, Qiao Xuan served as a meritorious service officer in the county when he was young. At that time, Zhou Jing, the governor of Yuzhou, led his officials to inspect Liang Guo. Qiao Xuan went to see Zhou Jing, listed the crimes of Chen Xiang Yangchang, and asked Zhou Jing to appoint himself to Chen Guo to thoroughly investigate Yang Chang's crimes. Zhou Jing thought he was heroic, agreed and sent him there. After Qiao Xuan took office, he arrested Yangchang's diners and checked his crimes in detail. But Yang Chang has been treated favorably by General Liang Ji. Liang Ji sent a quick horse to pass on documents for Yangchang to save him. Zhou Jing recalled Qiao Xuan according to Liang Ji's wishes, and Qiao Xuan only returned the documents but did not leave by himself. It is even more urgent to check Yang Chang's charges. In the end, Yang Chang was escorted to Beijing by a prison car, and Qiao Xuan became famous because of this.
"Hehe!" Zhou Yu smiled wryly and shook his head. Now it's not Shu Wang Liu Mang who is using power to overwhelm people, but you are always using prestige to overwhelm that Shu King Liu Mang.
"Great Governor, Great Governor, someone wants to see you!" The butler outside the door walked into the main hall of the Zhou family and reported to Zhou Yu.
"Don't be called Dadudu anymore, that's already in the past!" Zhou Yu frowned, and said to his subordinates, the official position of Dadudu was in Jiangdong, and now it is inevitable that he will be called Dadudu again. Be gossiped about.
"It's the head of the house!" The housekeeper nodded in response.
"Mr. Qiao, I have something to do here!" Zhou Yu apologized to Qiao Xuan.
"Gongjin, you don't need to worry about me, just have someone send you a pen, ink, paper and inkstone!" Qiao Xuan said to Zhou Yu, he saw that he really wanted to write a letter to Emperor Liu Xie to join Liu Mang.
Why! Zhou Yu could only shake his head. The old man became stubborn and no one could stop him.
"Who wants to see me?" Zhou Yu asked the butler outside the door.
"I don't know who it is, I just delivered the famous thorn!" The butler taught Zhou Yu the famous thorn, because the people outside the door were all wearing silk clothes, and their bodies were also extraordinary, so the butler didn't dare to neglect, and came back immediately to report Gave it to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu took the famous thorn and looked at it. After seeing it, he couldn't help exclaiming "Your Highness!" There is no letter on the famous thorn, only a big seal, the letter, the holy king of the Han Dynasty, isn't this the king of Shu Liu Mang's Seal.
"Take me there quickly!" Zhou Yu hurriedly asked the butler to take him to find the distinguished guest.
These guests had been brought to the side hall by the butler long ago, and the butler couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't neglect the guests.
"I don't know if Your Highness is disappointed by coming to the humble house, I hope His Highness will forgive me!" Zhou Yu went to the side hall, and sure enough the leader of these people was His Highness the King of Shu, Liu Mang.
"Gong Jin got up, I came here rashly, and please don't be annoyed, Gong Jin, your master!" Liu Mang also smiled and said to Zhou Yu.
"Where is your highness, is your highness coming this time?" Zhou Yu asked suspiciously.
"Of course it's for that one!" Liu Mang said to Zhou Yu with a wry smile.
"His Royal Highness agreed?" Zhou Yu's eyes widened as well. He also knew that Liu Mang's father-in-law was very powerful. If one failed, it would be a mutiny, and the unlucky one would be Yangzhou.
"How could it be possible to agree!" Liu Mang shook his head, which made Zhou Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's all my fault!" Zhou Yu said subconsciously.
"En?" Liu Mang frowned.
Zhou Yu immediately reacted. Fortunately, he was witty, "It's all my fault for bringing Mr. Qiao here this time, otherwise such a thing would not have happened!"
"This can't hang on to you, Gongjin. This is also Mrs. Wu's birthday. No matter what, Mr. Qiao is related to Mrs. Wu, so it's not uncommon to come to celebrate her birthday!" Although Liu Mang was talking to comfort Zhou Yu. But he really hated Zhou Yu in his heart. You say you fucking fag. Wouldn't it be nice to let the old man Qiao Xuan die in Jiangdong? If he insists on bringing him to Yangzhou, isn't this a deliberate disgusting person
"Your Highness, are you here this time?" Zhou Yu asked Liu Mang.
"Of course I want to make that old man Qiao, no, Mr. Qiao change his mind!" Liu Mang gritted his teeth.
"Your Highness?" Zhou Yu looked behind Liu Mang subconsciously and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Liu Mang didn't lead his troops. He thought Liu Mang, King of Shu, was going to be tough.
"Okay, Gong Jin, go and interpret for me and tell me I'm coming!" Liu Mang said to Zhou Yu.
"You don't need a copper biography. Your Highness comes with me!" Zhou Yu knew that the couple would meet sooner or later, so they simply faced each other.
Liu Mang nodded and followed Zhou Yu in. At this moment, Qiao Xuan was no longer in the living room. Hearing from the servant that Qiao Xuan had gone to Zhou Yu's study, Liu Mang and others had no choice but to follow Zhou Yu to Qiao Xuan's study. The old man Qiao Xuan was sitting on the seat holding a brush and splashing ink over there, concentrating on it.
Zhou Yu wanted to call Qiao Xuan, but was stopped by Liu Mang, who stepped forward. Looking at what Qiao Xuan wrote, he couldn't help but see black lines. Because this old man Qiao Xuan is writing a letter to Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty. There is not a single word in this letter that is good. It can be said that in Qiao Xuan's writing, Liu Mang has become synonymous with shamelessness and obscenity. Qiao Xuan even questioned Han How can such a shameless person like Di be worthy of the term "sage king", how can he be His Highness the King of Shu? I also hope that His Majesty can see clearly and get rid of this shameless and vulgar Highness.
"Mr. Qiao is good at calligraphy!" Liu Mang said grimly.
Mr. Qiao responded without raising his head, "I'm old, this pen doesn't have the same demeanor as before! But it's still passable!"
"You can make it through, but I can't, my Mr. Qiao, my father-in-law!" Liu Mang's gnashing of teeth sounded.
Only then did Qiao Xuan raise his head. It wasn't Zhou Yu's voice, but this was Zhou Yu's study. Which servant would dare to come in directly? He only saw it when he raised his head. This person is the person Qiao Xuan didn't want to see the most." You! You shameless, vile wretch!"
"It's me, you shady man who forced people to marry and divorce their wives!" Liu Mang was not inferior to Qiao Xuan, and immediately refuted it.
"Brat, I'm going to kill you!" Qiao Xuan rolled up his sleeves.
"Come here, whoever is afraid of whom! Old stick, I won't let you know that Lord Ma has three eyes today, you will treat me as Liu Mang, so easy to bully!" Liu Mang also became furious.
"Qiao Gong calm down, calm down!"
"Your Majesty, calm down, calm down!" Zhou Yu was completely dumbfounded. The two of them even wanted to do something while they were talking. Qiao Xuan was not a powerless person. In the last years of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Xianbei, Southern Huns, and Goguryeo's successor Bogu rebelled together and plundered along the border. The four governments jointly recommended Qiao Xuan as General Du Liao, and specially granted him the right to use Huang Yue. Qiao Xuan took office, trained soldiers, and then supervised the generals to attack the Hulu and Bogu. Destroy them all, serve for three years, and the border is safe and sound.
What is this equivalent to! It is equivalent to Lubu Jiadingyuan, with the contributions of Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du combined.
Lu Buding was originally in Bingzhou to prevent the Southern Huns from invading the Central Plains, Gongsun Zan beat Karasuma Xianbei to the bone, and Goguryeo was also terrified under Gongsundu's might.
And the sum of these individuals is equivalent to the bow string that Qiao Xuan made back then. You can tell that this old man was very irritable when he was young. If you say he is Lian Po, he is also Lian Po who can read.
And Liu Mang is not a guy like him, he also went to the battlefield and killed people. If these two masters really fight, it is impossible for each of them to lie down.
So Zhou Yu was shocked, and hurried up to stop the two masters.
"Gongjin, come here!" The two shouted loudly together.
"Why do you learn from me!" It was the same voice again.
"Damn, who wants to learn from you!" They all said in unison.
"Shameless boy!" "Despicable old man!" It was finally different.
"For the sake of Gongjin's face, let me spare you, you brat (old stick) today!" The two turned their heads and ignored each other.
Seeing that the two of them were no longer performing martial arts, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help asking Liu Mang, "Your Highness is here to discuss Miss Yue'er with Mr. Qiao?" Zhou Yu called Looking at the Circus, he asked Liu Mang.
"En!" Although Liu Mang was very upset with this old stick, he was really afraid that this old stick would hit him to death.
"Mr. Qiao. You don't want to have such a bad influence not only on Ms. Qiao Yue, but also on you and Qiao's family!" Zhou Yu ran to Qiao Xuan again and said.
"Hmph!" Qiao Xuan also snorted coldly. If it can be solved, he also wants to solve the matter.
"Your Highness, are you here to marry Miss Qiao Yue!?" Zhou Yu asked Liu Mang, a woman in white was listening to the news nervously outside the study.
"Yes!" Liu Mang nodded, "Yue'er is gentle and kind, I can't bear to ruin Yue'er's reputation, why is she born of you, an old bastard!" Liu Mang gritted his teeth.
The face of the woman in white outside the door turned rosy.
"You want to marry Yue'er!" Zhou Yu asked clearly, there is a big difference between a wife and a concubine.
"I can't divorce my wife, I can only be a concubine. But I am good to Yue'er!" Liu Mang shook his head and said.
"Concubine? Impossible, it is impossible for my family Yue'er to marry you as a concubine, you should give up on it as soon as possible!" Qiao Xuan said to Liu Mang.
"It's up to you!" Liu Mang said to Qiao Xuan, the old stick over there.
"Why can't I let it go, he is my daughter, his affairs are my affairs, marriage is a matter of parents' order and matchmaker's words!" Qiao Xuan shouted loudly at Liu Mang.
"I can't help you, that's because Yue'er is already my woman!" Liu Mang was ready to be ashamed to the extreme.
"Pfft!" Standing behind Liu Mang, Zhou Yu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. When did Yue'er become your woman
"Bah!" The woman in white outside the door also spat.
"You, you, what are you talking about!" Old man Qiao Xuan also stared at Liu Mang with wide eyes. It seemed that he couldn't believe what Liu Mang said.
"What did I say? What can I say? I can't hear? Then I repeat, Yue'er is already my woman. So you have to marry or not!" Liu Mang made up his mind to be ashamed up.
"Impossible, you just slept in Yue'er's boudoir that day, it's impossible for anything to happen to Yue'er!" Qiao Xuan took a deep breath. Ri Yue'er was not in Zhou Yu's mansion at all, but slept with Mrs. Wu and Miss Sun's family in Mrs. Wu's mansion.
"Haha, old stick, do you think I only know Yue'er?" Liu Mang sneered at Qiao Xuan. "Actually, Yue'er and I have known each other for a long time."
"Daydreaming about you, you and Yue'er have known each other for a long time? Hehe, when you and your father-in-law came to Yangzhou, my Qiao family had already moved to Jiangdongzhong, and you still know Yue'er? Don't joke!" Qiao Xuan taunted Liu Mang.
"Haha, old stick, let me tell you that you don't know, Yue'er and I met in Shu County in Lujiang River!" Liu Mang challenged Qiao Xuan.
"Lushu County?" Qiao Xuan's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhou Yu.
"Then Yue'er and Yu'er went to find Gongjin together, and wanted to visit Gongjin's hometown. On the way, they encountered a fierce tiger, and the guard was bitten to death by the tiger. If I hadn't been marching by at that time, maybe your daughter He is long gone!" Liu Mang said to Qiao Xuan.
"Looking for Gongjin?" Old man Qiao finally remembered one thing, that is, the two sisters, Qiao Yue and Qiao Yu, said that they would go out with Zhou Yu for an outing.
Qiao Xuan couldn't help looking at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu could only nod with a wry smile. That time, Qiao Yue, a little girl, used her own name and ran out. Zhou Yu had no choice but to help him lie. Later, it was indeed Shu Wang Liu Mang who sent the two girls back to Jiangdong.
"As early as that time, we had made a private decision for life, and as early as that time, Yue'er was my woman!" Liu Mang forced Qiao Xuan every sentence. "Old stick, you have to marry this daughter whether you marry or not!"
"Impossible, impossible!" Qiao Xuan's face was already flushed, their Qiao family's tutor was so strict, how could it be possible, Qiao Xuan had doubts about his tutor for the first time, and it was he who was full of peaches and plums, but In the end, my daughter didn't teach well.
"You, you, you, me, me, me!" Qiao Xuan was at a loss for words.
Liu Mang looked at this old man Qiao with a smile on his face, what this old man Qiao likes most is face, as long as Liu Mang is shameless enough. As long as Liu Mang dares to say it. Then this old stick must let go. As long as he works harder, this old stick will have to marry his daughter to him.
"Father, father, don't listen to his nonsense!" Just when Liu Mang was about to succeed and the old stick over there was about to let go, an uninvited guest came uninvited. A woman in white rushed into the study and ran to By his father Qiao Xuan's side.
"Yue'er!" Liu Mang's face brightened, he saw Qiao Yue's farewell since last time. He was thinking about Qiao Yue when he went to bed at night.
Qiao Yue glared at Liu Mang fiercely, and then said to her father, "Father, don't listen to his nonsense, nothing happened between me and him!" Husband sold it.
"I'll just say it, I'll just say it! How could our Yue'er have anything to do with a despicable and shameless person like you!" Over there, Qiao Xuan's face turned rosy again.
"Old man!" Liu Mang also gritted his teeth, mouthing a shameless person, "Hmph, even if Yue'er is not my woman, but I have a physical relationship with him!" Liu Mang wanted to disgust Qiao Xuan to death.
"You!" Qiao Xuan pointed at Liu Mang and was speechless.
"I don't believe you asked Yue'er if I carried him out of the forest!" Liu Mang said to Qiao Xuan.
"Speak less!" Qiao Yue became dissatisfied with Liu Mang, but Qiao Yue did not refute. Because this is the truth.
"So you still have to marry your daughter to me!" Liu Mang said to Qiao Xuan.
"Don't think about it without a regular wife!" Qiao Xuan still clung on firmly.
"Old stick, I understand. I understand, you don't care about Yue'er's happiness at all, what you care about is your reputation, the reputation of your Qiao family!" Liu Mang accused Qiao Xuan.
"I didn't!" Qiao Xuan retorted loudly,
"Not yet? Hmph, why don't you let Yue'er marry me?" Liu Mang asked questioningly.
"That's because I don't want Yue'er to marry a shameless person like you."
"Okay, even if I'm shameless and despicable, Yue'er will only be happy if she follows me. We are in love with each other!" Liu Mang said to Qiao Xuan.
"The two are in love, who said that Yue'er doesn't like you!" Qiao Xuan wanted to make Yue'er admit that he didn't like Liu Mang, but seeing Yue'er's blushing face, he knew that he might have made a mistake.
"Look, Yue'er admits it! Old stick, you have already forced one of your daughters to death for your reputation and for the reputation of your Qiao family. Do you still want to force your other daughter to death!" Liu Mang yelled loudly at Qiao Xuan.
"I didn't, I didn't! Yu'er was killed by you, forced to death by you, forced to death by your Yangzhou army!" Qiao Xuan suddenly changed his expression and shouted at Liu Mang.
"Yes, I forced her to death. If Yu'er had been captured back then, and she had survived and returned to Jiangdong, would you, Qiao Xuan, still recognize her as your daughter! No, you, Qiao Xuan, would never, you, Qiao Xuan For the sake of the Qiao family's reputation, you will never recognize Yu'er, and you don't want a daughter who is alive and humiliated." Liu Mang pointed at Qiao Xuan and shouted loudly.
"At the beginning, I thought that Mr. Qiao Xuan, who was upright and unafraid of authority, was a great Confucian, extraordinary and refined, but I was wrong. This Qiao Xuan was a hypocrite. That's all!" Liu Mang reprimanded Qiao Xuan without hesitation.
"For the sake of reputation, you have already killed your son, and your daughter has also died. There is only one little daughter left, why do you want her to die?" It's not that Liu Mang is cruel, but that something must be revealed Open, otherwise Qiao Xuan will continue like this. Some people become stubborn, which is more terrifying than anything else.
When Qiao Xuan's youngest son was ten years old, he went out to play alone. Suddenly, three people took him with sticks and hijacked him. They entered Qiao Xuan's mansion and asked Qiao Xuan to redeem him with money. Soon, Sili school Wei Yangqiu led Henan Yin and Luoyang county magistrate to surround Qiao's mansion. Yang Qiu and the others were worried that the robbers would kill Qiao Xuan's son, so they did not give orders to chase the robbers. Qiao Xuan said loudly: "Criminals have no humanity. How can I condone criminals in the country because of the life of a son!" Yang Qiu then attacked the robbers, and Qiao Xuan's son died.
So he met Emperor Ling to apologize, and asked Emperor Ling to issue an order to the world: "Anyone who takes hostages will be killed, and the hostages must not be redeemed with treasure, so that criminals can profit." So the imperial edict issued this order. At first, after Emperor Han'an, the law gradually lost its effectiveness, and those who took hostages in the capital, regardless of whether the other party was a wealthy official or not. After Qiao Xuan's incident, nothing like this happened again.
Although this reflected Qiao Xuan's uprightness, it also showed that Qiao Xuan loved his name too much. He has achieved and lost fame. The huge reputation made him Qiao Xuan really set an example for the big man. But it was also because of his fame that his son died, and his eldest daughter was also martyred. If this continues, Qiao Yue will only have a dead end.
Are you tired of being famous? The real sense of family ruin.
"No, no, I'm not, I'm not!" Qiao Xuan shook his head violently.
"Is fame really that important? More important than family affection? More important than your own children? If Yue'er died because of your Qiao Xuan's reputation, what is left of you, Qiao Xuan? Only a bunch of fame and A loner?"
"No, I'm not. I said I'm not!" Qiao Xuan grabbed his hair and shouted.
"Han Yang?" Over there, Qiao Yue also called Liu Mang. She looked at Liu Mang pitifully and hoped that Liu Mang would stop. Because if this continues, Qiao Xuan will really die of shame and anger from Liu Mang.
Liu Mang took a deep breath, he had to give Qiao Yue face, "Qiao Gong, if you say you are not, then I will give you a chance to prove it, if there is such a chance, if Yu'er was captured at the beginning She survived, and returned to Jiangdong, you Qiaogong will still recognize her as his daughter!" Liu Mang asked Qiao Xuan softly.
Qiao Xuan's face was struggling, "Yu'er. Yu'er!" Qiao Xuan's face was very uncomfortable, and his thoughts were colliding. One side is one's close relatives, the other side is one's own reputation, which one, which one is the most important.
"Mr. Qiao, do you know? There is a saying in our hometown that we must die to save face. In this world, only our relatives should be the most important, not face!"
"Yu'er, meet your father!" Liu Mang said to a male attendant behind him.
"Yu'er?" Zhou Yu and the others all stared wide-eyed, as if they didn't understand what Liu Mang was talking about.
"Father, long time no see!" The men's entourage behind Liu Mang let his hair loose, removed the beard from his face, and walked up to Qiao Xuan Qiaoyue. Be more mature, but the eyes are very similar to Qiao Xuan's imagination, isn't this the eldest Qiao Qiaoyu among the sisters of the Qiao family.
"Sister!" Although Qiao Yue knew that her sister was still alive, she had never met her. Now that she finally saw her, she couldn't help crying with joy, and rushed towards her. "Sister! Yue'er misses you so much, misses you so much!"
"Big Joe?" Zhou Yu didn't know what kind of attitude he would use to face Da Qiao, because Da Qiao was married to Sun Ce at the beginning, and after Da Qiao died, Zhou Yu still faced Sun Ce with guilt. Now that Da Qiao appeared again, it seemed that she still had a close relationship with His Royal Highness the King of Shu, which made Zhou Yu feel even more uncomfortable. After all, she used to be his sister-in-law.
"Gongjin, I already knew about this!" Another person walked into the study.
'Brother! "Zhou Yu saw that the person who came was Sun Ce and Sun Bofu. "You guys? "Zhou Yu became more and more confused.
"My lord!" Sun Ce clasped his fists at Liu Mang when he saw Liu Mang. "I'll explain to you later!" Liu Mang nodded.
This Sun Ce was called by Liu Mang. Qiao Yu’s identity has always been hidden and unfair to Qiao Yu. Liu Mang also didn’t want Qiao Yu to live in the dark all the time. Ready to confess, as for Sun Ce? As early as when Sun Quan was about to cook, Liu Mang wrote a letter to Sun Ce telling Sun Ce that Sun Quan was going to rebel, and he also told Sun Ce that this is the one time Qiao Yu owed you, and there will be no mutual debt from now on.
"Silly girl! Silly girl!" Qiao Yu patted Qiao Yue's back to comfort Qiao Yue, "Sister misses you too!"
"Sister, why don't you go to Jiangdong to see us, why!" Qiao Yue asked weeping.
"My sister, hey!" Qiao Yu also wanted to go back to see her sister and her father, but would it work
"Yu, Yu'er! No, Yu'er is dead, already dead, you are not Yu'er! Not Yu'er!" Qiao Xuan still couldn't believe it.
"Father, he is the older sister, the older sister!" Qiao Yue said to Qiao Xuan.
"It's not him!" Qiao Xuan roared loudly.
"Father, you still don't want to recognize me!" Qiao Yu's heart was very bitter.
"My Yu'er is dead!"
"Then you still know father!" Qiao Yu took out a piece of beautiful jade from her neck. The jade pendant was not carved, but pure natural. Above is a jade character formed naturally. Over there, Qiao Yue also took out a jade of the same quality. It was a crescent moon.
Qiao Yue and Qiao Yu were because of these two jade pendants.
"Yu'er, you are really Yu'er!" Qiao Xuan became bitter. "Am I really wrong?" Qiao Xuan was questioning himself. He had indeed sacrificed too much for fame. His son, the only one in the Qiao family The old man died because he cherished his fame. If he had a little bit of silhouette and a little bit of his father's selfishness, he would not have died. Now that Qiao Yu is back. There was joy in Qiao Xuan's heart, but he fell into incomparable melancholy. Could it be that he was really wrong!
"Hey!" Liu Mang sighed, he stepped forward, grabbed Qiao Yu's hand, and put it into Qiao Xuan's.
"Mr. Qiao, she is your daughter, your eldest daughter, Qiao Yu. He didn't die, but because of your fame and the reputation of your Qiao family, so he can only have a family but can't go back. He can't recognize his father!" Liu Mang He said to Qiao Xuan that although he hated this little old man, Liu Mang knew that he was still his father-in-law. In any case, he is an elder.
"Yu'er, it's really Yu'er! My daughter." Qiao Xuan finally let go, and he began to recognize Qiao Yu.
"Father, father!" Qiao Yu also burst into tears in Qiao Xuan's arms and began to cry.
"His Royal Highness, do you think I'm really wrong?" Qiao Xuan's attitude towards Liu Mang changed. He asked Liu Mang because a person's outlook on life and values have been formed. All are confused.
"No, Mr. Qiao, you are right!" Liu Mang also smiled, and the old stick finally got the hang of it.
"Am I right? But I killed Ren'er, Yu'er couldn't go home, and even Yue'er!" Qiao Xuan was very conflicted.
"Qiao Gong, the prosperity of the world is all for profit. The world is full of prosperity, all for profit. What Tai Shigong said is the right way in this world. Fame and fortune are what everyone pursues. What Mi Zhu pursues is wealth, and what I pursue is wealth." Right, Mr. Qiao, what you are pursuing is fame, and everyone is fighting for it! There is no right or wrong, only passing or passing!"
"Isn't it too late?" Qiao Xuan said calmly as if he had realized something.
"Mr. Qiao. Your two daughters?" Liu Mang asked Qiao Xuan.
"Marry, marry!" Qiao Xuan is now looking at it, too high a reputation is not as good as a full house of children and grandchildren, and no matter how famous it is, it is not as good as a family reunion.
"Then the real wife?" Liu Mang asked again.
"You've already made a plan, and you still ask me?" Qiao Xuan sneered at Liu Mang.
"Hehe!" Liu Mang could only smile awkwardly. Just now he could be called Lao Bangzi, but now he can only be called father-in-law. "Father-in-law, you gave me your jewel, and I will repay you and give you a pretense of wealth!" Liu Mang is reciprocating.
"Hmph, do you think I care about those money and official positions?" Qiao Xuan thought that Liu Mang wanted to send him money or officials to Qiao Xuan.
"Those things are too vulgar. How can the gift I want to give you, my father-in-law, be compared with those vulgar things!" Liu Mang said with a laugh.
"Oh?" Qiao Xuan was really interested and asked Liu Mang, "Take it out and have a look!"
"Come on, bring the present!" Liu Mang said to Guan Hai and the others.
"Yes!" Guan Hai took out a package, opened it and took out a book.
"That's right, I know I like books!" Qiao Xuan nodded. If Liu Mang gave money, Qiao Xuan might slap him in the face, but it would be different if he gave books. They are scribes, and scribes have no books. unhappy.
"Mr. Qiao, this is no ordinary book!" Liu Mang said while looking at Qiao Xuan with a smile.
"En?" Qiao Xuan took the book in doubt, only to see that there were four large characters "Comments to Mr. Qiao" written on it.
"These?" Qiao Xuan's eyes widened and he opened it, only to see that the notes written on it were his own notes from reading books and some of his own views on personnel and military affairs. Now they have all been sorted out and arrived. In such a book.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, thank you for your trouble!" Qiao Xuan is still a little thankful. Qiao Xuan's personality record is very complicated, but today Liu Wei compiled it into a book, and the words are not bad. Fake.
"Qiao Gong, don't worry, this is the first book, and there are these ones too!" : Speaking of which, Liu Mang took out two or three books from the package and gave them to Qiao Xuan. Qiao Xuan read them, and they were all annotated by Mr. Qiao.
"Huh?" Now Qiao Xuan's eyes were completely brightened. The contents of these books are the same, there is no difference. It was precisely because of this that Qiao Xuan's eyes completely lit up.
Qiao Xuan took these books up to his nose and sniffed them, "It smells so heavy of ink. Are these books just copied?" Qiao Xuan asked suspiciously.
"Mr. Qiao, you only got half of the answers right!" Liu Mang said to Qiao Xuan with a smile.
"En?" Qiao Xuan looked at Liu Mang suspiciously.
"Come on. Bring the box here!" Liu Mang waved his hand, and two soldiers came in behind with a big box on their poles.
": Open them!" Liu Mang yelled at the sergeant under him.
"Yes!" Soon the big box was opened, and it was full of books.
Qiao Xuan ran over in a hurry, flipping through one book after another, all of them were his "Commentary to Mr. Qiao", which contained at least a hundred books.
"These are all copied?" Qiao Xuan's eyes widened as if he wanted an answer. If there were two copies for one book, then it would take two or three people to copy them for three or four hours, but these are more than one hundred copies. up. What a lot of effort it takes.
"Qiao Gong, do you think that if it is a copy, there will be two books with the same handwriting?" Liu Mang asked Qiao Xuan with a smile.
"Then this is?" Qiao Xuan became more and more confused, and the more he was puzzled, the more he felt like itching in his heart.
"These books are just printed!" Zhou Cang who was beside him helped Liu Mang and replied.
"Printed out?" Qiao Xuan didn't understand.
"Just like those official seals, once you press it, it will be a book!" Zhou Cang said vulgarly, but it is really easy for people to understand.
How many seals are needed for each page of the book? According to Qiao Xuan's thinking, this page of the book probably needs only one seal, and the entire Duke Qiao commented. There are hundreds of pages on it, how many seals are needed.
"You don't need to use so much. Mr. Qiao, there are a total of 120,000 characters on top of your annotations. If you remove those that are the same, that is more than 500 commonly used characters. I will carve a seal for each word. This one, I will Typeset those seals one by one according to what is written in the book, and then print them again, and so on, until the next page, disassemble them again, and then rearrange the typeset, this book becomes and these books, a total of It only took two hours!" Liu Mang said to Qiao Xuan.
"Two hours, hundreds of books?" Qiao Xuan suddenly felt that his brain was not enough. If he copied one book in two hours, it would be enough. If there were hundreds of books, it would be unimaginable.
"Mr. Qiao, I'm going to teach you how to print books, Mr. Qiao. I don't know how Mr. Qiao can relieve the pressure for my son-in-law?" Liu Mang looked at Qiao Xuan with a smile.
"This is not good!" Qiao Xuan was not trying to evade, but was embarrassed, because he knew that this was simply a great contribution, and it could even be said that it was something that would definitely be recorded in the history.
Because if what Shu Wang Liu Mang said is true, hundreds of books can be produced in just two hours, then the books that were originally expensive as gold in this world will really fly into the homes of ordinary people, and those poor children will I can really read. In this way, there are so many scholars in the world, and whoever those scholars are most grateful to is probably the person who printed the book.
His Qiao Xuan's reputation has really reached a peak.
"We are all one family, why should we separate you and me! You have given me all the jewels in your palm, so naturally I will give you a satisfactory answer, Mr. Qiao!"
"Satisfied, satisfied haha!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, "Old stick (brat)"
…
In Zhuge Liang's mansion.
Zhuge Liang took the three thousand gold that Liu Mang gave him, and smiled. He just put another two thousand gold in the Fragrance Hall and returned the previous three hundred gold, and there is still one thousand seven hundred gold, which is enough for Zhuge Liang to enjoy it for a while. After all, as for the one thousand gold in his hand, Zhuge Liang is a bit reluctant, because it has to be handed over.
Seeing his wife came, Zhuge Liang went up to her and said respectfully to her, "Madam, this is a salary of one thousand gold, please take him away!"
"Salary?" Mrs. Huang frowned, "Didn't your lord deduct your salary last month?"
"Huh? Zifang didn't tell you?"
"He said, he said that your money was indeed deducted by the lord!"
"What!" Zhuge Liang's eyes darkened.
"How can you still have money? A thousand pieces of gold? Are you hiding money behind my back?" Mrs. Huang's eyes were bright.
"Say, where is the money!"
"Ma'am, I am wronged, my lady is wronged! Mi Zifang, please remember!" (To be continued...)
