It is said that Liu Tong led the troops to Dongying, and the Lu State was controlled by the subordinate staff. King Lu and the Queen Mother were quite impatient, and often invited some Liu Tong's people to eat and drink; Mrs. Liu Tong was a little worried when she heard this. Coincidentally, Ma Xiangzhu returned home, so she ordered someone to invite her over to discuss.

Ma Xiangzhu heard and pondered for a moment, and wrote: "Madame is preparing to treat the symptoms or the root cause?" ”

Mrs. Liu said: "Naturally, I want to cure the root cause. ”

Ma Xiangzhu wrote with a pen: "Please ask Madame to order someone to bring a brazier." ”

Mrs. Liu saw that her face was fierce, and sure enough, she ordered someone to burn a carbon basin and come in, and waved her hand to retreat from the left and right. Ma Xiangzhu thought for a moment, and wrote: "On that day, King Lu got married, and the general only let him marry the daughter of a minor official from the sixth grade, but it was inappropriate. Why bother to provoke a suspicion of bullying the lord in vain? Since he has become the king of Lu, he is the lord of the country of Lu, and it is inevitable that he will have the heart to break free from the general and take charge of the military and politics. If you want to cure the root cause, you can ask Princess Lu to write to the prince herself, because of her humble background and shame on herself, she begged the prince to allow her to give up the concubine position. Mrs. can recognize the second girl as a concubine under her own name and be the concubine of King Lu. Now that little son is less than two years old, and it is very easy to die. When the second girl has a child, King Lu can also die of illness. ”

Mrs. Liu frowned for a long time, weighed it for a long time, and said, "I treat the second girl as mediocre." Her son may not be to me. ”

Ma Xiangzhu had already burned the piece of paper at this time, and then wrote: "Princess Lu has a noble status, how can she raise her son herself? The wife can ask the reassuring nurse to help her raise it. Besides, once the general has a good grandson and the child is healthy, it doesn't matter if the second girl is sick and dies. Mrs. Liu's expression froze, and Ma Xiangzhu immediately burned this one again.

Mrs. Liu meditated for a long time and said, "You let me think about it." Ma Xiangzhu got up and saluted, and withdrew with low eyebrows.

Mrs. Liu then called an old woman surnamed Yu who had to be used by his side to tell her the idea. Mama Yu was startled: "It's so ruthless!" The dumb man's idea? Mrs. Liu nodded. Mama Yu hurriedly recited "Amitabha" a few times, and said, "Madam, hurry up and think about sending this woman away!" Don't get involved with her again. The slave had already persuaded his wife, she looked weak, really ruthless, and a vixen! Or I'm going to hire a Taoist priest for my wife to do it? ”

Mrs. Liu smiled: "Didn't I tell you earlier?" Ma is a hen that can't lay eggs, and it's better for the general to spoil her than to spoil others. Besides, she had a good idea. ”

Mama Yu waved her hand again and again: "I can't help it!" Madam, the general will not agree, the second girl is the general's own daughter. ”

Mrs. Liu sneered: "It's just a daughter, what's so reluctant." You don't usually listen to many plays, but there have been many such things throughout the ages. The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was a good idea. Because of the scheming others, she was anxious, and she hurriedly wrote a letter to Liu Tong, only saying that it was her own idea to marry her daughter to King Lu in order to seek the identity of King Lu's relative.

Although Mama Yu didn't know the words, she guessed in her heart. Nine is not far from ten, so anxious, and there is no way. After stumbling for a long time, she hurriedly rushed to her house, calling her son to inquire in the temple immediately, but there was no monk and Taoist priest with advanced Taoism, and she invited her to come urgently. His son's name was Yu Dawang, who was born with an impatience, and after listening to his mother's instructions, he went to various temples.

Liu Qian loved to communicate with monks and Taoists, and the next day he heard about it, so he pretended to go to the Shentong Temple in the south of the city to chat with the old monk, but happened to bump into Yu Dawang. Liu Qian often went to the general's mansion to discuss matters in the past, and the two of them knew each other and talked casually. Yu Dawang was not a strict mouth, not to mention that his mother didn't tell him to keep it secret, and he said everything in less than half an hour.

Liu Qian asked with a smile: "Could it be that someone in General Liu's mansion hit a demon?" ”

Yu Dawang opened his mouth and answered: "Isn't that dumb?" My mother said that she was a vixen 90 percent of the time. ”

Liu Qian said: "Is your mother talking nonsense?" She has been in the General's Mansion for so long, why hasn't anyone been eaten by her? I haven't seen her do anything wrong. But a mute. ”

Yu Dawang said: "Fox spirits eat people's souls and take people's skins!" She ate the soul of the dumb man, and now she takes the body of the dumb. Liu Qian shook his head again and laughed at his nonsense, but he didn't believe it. Yu Dawang hurriedly said, "Really! Now she wants to eat my wife's soul again, and my mother is in a hurry. ”

Liu Qian's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "The general's wife has a noble status, which is different from ordinary people. In this case, I will go with you to see your mother and ask your wife what the situation is. ”

Yu Dawang was overjoyed: "It turns out that Mr. Liu will do it!" If there is a collision, I hope that Mr. will not blame the villain for not knowing Mount Tai. ”

Liu Qian snorted: "Little monkey cub, who is rare to see like you." And he went back with him.

Mama Yu stretched her neck and waited for a long time, and when she heard her son shouting outside the house, "I invited a master", she was disappointed when she opened her eyes and saw that it was actually a scholar, and scolded: "I can't do anything serious!" ”

Liu Qian said to Mama Yu in a serious manner: "Don't hide it, Mama, I have studied Taoism for a few years in my later life, and I have some skills." ”

Mama Yu will be skeptical. Liu Qian can't coax a monster like Jia Cong from the next generation, it's not easy to coax an old woman? So he pretended to be pretending to talk nonsense; And Yu Dawang was on the side, but this Mr. Liu was a person who the general trusted very much. Mama Yu gradually believed it. She then ordered Yu Dawang to guard at the door, and she whispered Ma's idea to Mrs. Liu, wiping her tears and said: "I have long asked my wife to stay away from her, but my wife just doesn't listen!" That vixen is so ruthless! Actions require human life! She and her wife only stayed in the house for a short time, and it was several lives! Our cotton-eared wife believed her! If you do such a great sin, will not the heavens thunder and split? ”

Liu Qian pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Mama Yu, I am a subordinate of the general, and I shouldn't have met the general's wife according to etiquette." Now that things are in crisis, not only my wife, but even the young general is dying, and I can't take care of everything. Ask Mama to go to see Mrs. immediately, and find an excuse to coax her to the lentil shelf in the northwest corner of the back garden. It's secluded, and no one usually passes by. I really can't make up a lie, I just say 'it's important' and pull her in, and no one else can follow her. He stood behind the shelf in his later years, and he didn't see his wife. There are some things that Mama can't relay, and she has to say them to her in person. Now her mother and son are in critical condition. ”

Mama Yu was taken aback: "That vixen is still eyeing the young general?" ”

Liu Qian nodded: "The eggs are laid under the nest." Mama Yu was stunned for three seconds, and ran away with a scream.

Liu Qian stood for a moment, shook his head, got up and quietly went to the back garden of Liu's mansion. knocked out the two gatekeepers, and stunned a little girl passing by to do errands, and walked around again.

Mama Yu was really anxious. Liu Qian had only been to the lentil shelf for a while, and saw her from a distance trotting over with Mrs. Liu, and Mama Yu was still panting. Liu Qian lowered his waist and looked at Mrs. Liu carefully from the cracks in the lentil leaves, and saw that she was inexplicable, obviously and didn't know what was going on, and she was really deceived by Mama Yu. After waiting for a while, although she saw Mama Yu looking around with an anxious face, Mrs. Liu did not reproach, nodded, but stood up and said aloud: "Madam, you are presumptuous in your late life." Because of the urgency of the matter, I couldn't take care of my face, so I had to ask Mama Yu to ask my wife to come here, and I hope my wife will forgive me. ”

Mrs. Liu was surprised: "Who are you?" How did a man get into the back garden of my Liu Mansion? ”

Liu Qian said: "Late life is a general's staff. I just heard about a big disadvantage to the general, and I really had no choice but to make a decision to see my wife. Dare to ask Mrs., a few days ago, Madame wrote a letter to the general about the idea that Ma came up with? ”

Mrs. Liu immediately looked at Mama Yu angrily: "You said you went out?!" ”

Mama Yu knelt down and said, "Madam, Mr. Liu is my own person." ”

Liu Qian hurriedly said: "Mrs. Hugh wants to blame Mama Yu, she not only saved his wife, but also saved the life of the young general." ”

Mrs. Liu was shocked: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Liu Qian sighed: "Ma's idea is not bad, but it shouldn't be a wife." Madam, this idea should be the best of our staff. She gave his wife must have been a plan to hide from the world, and after King Lu and the second miss had a child, she killed King Lu and the second miss together, and the mother of the second miss probably couldn't stay, and only said to the child that the wife was the biological mother of the second miss and the grandmother of the little son, right? Mrs. Liu was silent. Although Ma has not said it, this is what it means. Liu Qian sneered, "If you follow her strategy, others don't know, Ma knows; I can't say what kind of personal and physical evidence will be left for the second lady. The wife thought that the girl would not guard against her if she did not have children. As everyone knows, the wife can hide from the sky and the sea, and the Ma family can also hide from the sky and the sea. In the coming day, the general has a concubine who gives birth to a child, which can also be recorded in her name. She is so ruthless, how can the young general be her opponent? ”

Mrs. Liu was stunned like a clay carving and wood sculpture. After a while, a cold sweat broke out, and the whole person collapsed to the ground. Mama Yu hurriedly held her tightly.

Liu Qian continued: "Now that the general is in Dongying, the letter sent over there is not sent every day, and it has not been sent away yet, so my wife will quickly order someone to retrieve it." ”

Mrs. Liu woke up and pushed Mama Yu and said, "Go quickly!" Get the letter back! Just go! Mama Yu just helped her, and she sat down on the ground, "Don't worry about me!" Go, go, go! Mama Yu also broke out in a cold sweat, nodded again and again, couldn't speak, picked up her clothes and ran.

After Mrs. Liu sat underground for a while, Liu Qian said: "Whether it is King Lu or the son born to King Lu and General Liu's daughter, it is just a name after all. Mrs. Hugh wants to be decided, it doesn't matter which lady gave birth to the child. The general wants nothing more than a name. But if the young general has military power in his hands, isn't his uncle having the final say on his nephew's every move? ”

Mrs. Liu wept and said, "I was blind, I believed her!" Mama Yu has persuaded me many times, but I will not listen. ”

Liu Qian said: "It's not too late to make amends. Ma Shi is quite visionary, and he has established a plan and a calculating wife, and he will not let go of the young general. Mrs. Lao should tell this Jurchen face to Major General Sù soon, I am afraid that he will fall for Ma's scheme. ”

Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she got up: "Could it be that she is wrong to me?" ”

Liu Qian said: "The gentleman should take precautions. She is young and beautiful, and she has the means, if she seduces the major general, but tells the general that the major general covets her beauty......"

Mrs. Liu shouted: "She dares! ”

Liu Qian said with a smile: "Look, madam, what else is she afraid of?" ”

Mrs. Liu was silent! After staying for half a cup of tea, she suddenly asked, "Why did Mr. help me?" ”

Liu Qian said: "I have no intention of helping my wife in the evening. The late born has voted for the general, and the young general is the young master of the late birth. Since ancient times, he has established a long and long-standing heir, not to mention the appearance of a young general and a phoenix, and filial piety to his father, he will not treat our generals' old subordinates badly in the future. Ma is brave and resourceful, ruthless and vicious, and the son she raised may not dare to follow in her later life - she is not afraid to sue Mrs. Sù, she is timid in her later life, and she will go elsewhere if she can't keep it. ”

Mrs. Liu nodded, and after a while, she asked again, "How do you know that the Ma family can't have children?" ”

Liu Qian laughed with a "flutter": "Half of the city's kiln sisters know!" Does the wife think that her 'brother' is a tight-mouthed man? ”

Mrs. Liu calmed her mind at this time, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "It's just a wave. woman, and pretending to be a young lady every day. ”

Liu Qian said again: "The young general is young, don't scare him, don't stop him, don't act recklessly." This general can trust Ma the most, if he goes to the general and says bad things about Ma, isn't it an egg touching a stone? Please also ask the major general to be calm and leave it to us. ”

Mrs. Liu thought about her son's temperament and said worriedly: "But I don't know if he can listen to it." ”

Liu Qian smiled and said: "Mrs. only sues him, what kind of person is Ma?" Although the general was blinded by her, the general had a few sober staff. Since he is the master of men, he does not care about these little things; Since he is the Son of Man, he must not be brought into his father's house. ”

Mrs. Liu nodded again and again, and bowed deeply to the lentil shelf: "Thank you, sir!" Is it good for the old body to let the dog worship Mr. as a teacher? ”

Liu Qian waved his hand and said, "Absolutely not!" Let's not talk about being young in the late years, and how old the young general is; Mr. Zhao Tu, a classmate of this late life, won the trust of the general, and the general also trusted the late born with him. If the major general befriends the two of us, he will hand over his shortcomings to Ma's hands. The important staff of the son's friendship with the father are the most suspicious of the lord. ”

Mrs. Liu sighed lightly: "It's all my fault that I was confused that day." It turned out that before Ma entered the mansion, Steward Ma had already told Mrs. Liu her origin, and gave Mrs. Liu a plan to "drive away the wolf and devour the tiger", in order to use Ma Xiangzhu's hand to extinguish Aunt Su Ni's prestige; I don't want to become a "wolf in the house". She saluted the lentil rack again, and said, "Thank you, sir!" The old body understands the gentleman's intentions. In the coming day, my son will be safe and smooth, and I will not forget the grace of my husband today. ”

Liu Qian also replied through the lentil shelf: "Farewell to the late student." He slipped away quietly.

Back at his residence, Liu Qian pondered for a moment, picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Liu Tong, citing many examples of relatives in power in the history books, and wrote at the end: "Relatives are legitimate identities. ”

On the other hand, Mrs. Liu also recovered the letter - it is not a shame that Western firearms and baggage ships are not available every day.
