Chapter 501: Climbing the stairs

The three of them did not say anything more about the conspiracy to get rid of the traitor.

Or Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also understand that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it.

Besides, Liu Xian is asking for money, money, and fame, looking at Liu Xian's beautiful wife and concubine, I don't know how comfortable I am living this little life, why should I conspire with them to do something big?

Coupled with some reasons that everyone knows, Liu Xian's identity is indeed a little sensitive in this court, as long as there are many people with political wisdom who can guess that today's saint will definitely not allow the plain palace to have a queen, and there is a young master of this or something. The reason why Liu Xian is alive and well now is that there is no good excuse to deal with Liu Xian at this time.

Anyway, for various reasons, Liu Xian tried his best to avoid some things related to the government, which ordinary people can understand. If Liu Xian really conspired with them, this would be equivalent to revealing Liu Xian's ambition from the side, and once the court knew about it, then Liu Xian would definitely be done.

This is indeed a fact. Liu Xian is here, if he dares to openly make friends with those powerful people and have close contacts, Liu Xian is afraid that he will be suspicious.

Anyway, Liu Xian is right to avoid people and things related to the court as much as possible.

Speaking of which, Liu Xian has a good relationship with Yang Biao of the Yang Mansion, but this is good, in fact, it is also authorized by Liu Xian and Yang Biao's personal relationship, and they usually do not openly communicate too closely.

What Ma Guiren thought earlier was to contact those remnants of the previous dynasty, so that these forces could form a certain influence in the court, which could be her and Liu Xian's help in the court. Fortunately, as soon as Ma Guiren arrived in Luoyang, he was placed under house arrest, and he couldn't contact him at all, otherwise, it would be troublesome.

The current imperial court, no matter who it is, cannot form any power to influence those eunuchs in the palace. Unless it is a coup d'Γ©tat, there is no one in the current court who can confront those eunuchs. Because they have control over the emperor, and no matter what, the emperor will be on their side.

Therefore, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, they didn't talk about this anymore, and began to talk to Liu Xiandong about the West and talk about their daily routines.

The terrain of Little Mount Tai is not dangerous, but it is relatively large. The brigade can reach the halfway point of the mountain.

On the mountainside, it looks like a large platform, and there are many buildings for people who come to offer incense to rest.

At this time, there were actually a lot of peddlers and pawns who came here to sell, and there were still a lot of them. This makes it feel like a small market.

Selling paper robes, candles, incense, selling some snacks and so on.

Horse-drawn carriages can reach you directly, but once you get here, you have to climb the mountain, and the real temple is almost at the top of the mountain.

Liu Xian asked people to occupy an area and let the carriage stop, and then helped the women out of the carriage one by one.

The guards who followed, there were not too many people to follow to the top, Liu Xian only brought dozens of people as the escorts of the women, and the rest of the people stayed behind and let them take care of the carriage and wait here.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were similar, they had already let their respective families get out of the carriage and wait at the stone steps of the mountain.

The snow on the stone steps has already been cleaned by the small Taoist priest of the temple on the mountain. However, because there are too many people going up and down the mountain, the stone steps are muddy and slippery, and they are not too easy to walk.

When Liu Xian and Ma Guiren brought Kong Xue, Cai Yan, Huang Wudie, Lai Ying'er, Diao Chan and other girls to the stone steps of the mountain, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also brought their families to greet them.

It was only at this time that Liu Xian suddenly remembered that at this time, I am afraid that it would be impossible to avoid letting Cao Cao meet with Lai Ying'er. At this time, Liu Xian was really embarrassed, but he glanced at Lai Ying'er among his women with some interest, and thought to himself, I don't know if Cao Cao saw Lai Ying'er actually follow him to Xiaotai Mountain to worship God, I don't know what Cao Cao's face will be? What do you think in your heart?

Liu Xian didn't want to guess what Ying'er would do when she saw Cao Cao, because although Ying'er had a certain good impression of Cao Cao, this kind of good impression was only out of appreciation for Cao Cao's talent, but she didn't have real feelings for Cao Cao. Of course, Lai Ying'er also talked to Liu Xian frankly about his relationship with Cao Cao, and also said that if there was really no way, in order to get out of the draft workshop, she had thought about it and had to follow Cao Cao's plan. But she really didn't have any clear commitment to Cao Cao, or any expression of affection for Cao Cao.

Lai Ying'er and Cao Cao have met a lot, but every time they meet, they are positive meetings and conversations, and there is no excessive contact.

Lai Ying'er is a smart woman, she talked to Liu Xian about this, explaining her actual relationship with Cao Cao, because she didn't want Liu Xian to misunderstand. She has decided to follow Liu Xian, so she doesn't want Liu Xian to misunderstand where she is disloyal. She wanted Liu Xian to understand that she was innocent.

Liu Xian naturally wouldn't suspect anything about Lai Ying'er, not to mention, even if there was anything, Liu Xian wouldn't pursue it and wouldn't care. After all, it was before Lai Ying'er, if Lai Ying'er didn't say it herself, Liu Xian wouldn't have asked.

"Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, meet Ma Guiren."

"Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu met Ma Guiren!"

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao stepped forward to salute the Ma nobles.

"Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu? Oh, this noble person has heard of you, yes, you are all a talent, and your bearing is extraordinary. Well, no need to be polite, you and Xian'er are friends, right? It was so coincidental to come together to worship Bixia Yuanjun, so let's climb the mountain together. Ma Guiren said with a smile.

Ma Guiren is nominally noble, and her words and deeds are indeed in line with her identity, and in the face of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, she is only regarded as an ordinary descendant of the powerful.

"Yes, we are all friends of Marquis Wu Yong. We didn't expect it to be so coincidental, and we all came to Little Taishan. Well, by the way, ladies, why don't you come to meet Ma Guiren? Cao Cao said.

"Yes, ma'am, come and meet Ma Guiren." Yuan Shao also followed. β€œ

From behind Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, only then came out a few women with extraordinary temperaments, and they all greeted Ma Guiren.

Cao Cao introduced: "Ma Guiren, Marquis Wu Yong, she is Cao Mou, surnamed Ding, she is Zhao, Huan, Zhou Ji, Li Ji ......"

Cao Cao introduced a total of six or seven daughters.

Yuan Shao also introduced his wives and concubines, and there were as many as seven or eight.

"Hehe, Meng De, Ben Chu, you are all romantic characters, but you can afford to have a group of wives and concubines." Ma Guiren nodded casually to these women as a return gift, so many women, she must not be able to remember them at once, but she remembered the two most outstanding ones.

"Mrs. Ding, is Meng De's wife? The original Mrs. Yuan was this Mrs. Liu? Ma Guiren said curiously.

"Ma Guiren is discerning, Mrs. Ding is indeed Cao Cao's match." Cao Cao said respectfully.

"Ma Guiren, Yuan Mouyuan is ...... Well, there was a slight illness and it didn't make the trip. Yuan Shao was embarrassed and humane.

"Oh? Then pay attention, perhaps, with the situation of your Yuan family, you can let the imperial doctor in the palace take a look. Ma Guiren said to Yuan Shao with concern.

"Xie Ma is a nobleman, and he has already asked the imperial doctor to see it."

"That's good." Ma Guiren said, turned his head and said: "Since they all met by such a coincidence, then let's get to know each other, let's climb the mountain and worship the temple together, Xue'er, Yan'er, Dancing Butterfly, you all come to meet Meng De and Ben Chu, they are all today's heroes and pillars of the country." Although this noble person has not been in Beijing for too long, I have heard their names. ”

"Yes!"

Kong Xue and Cai Yan stepped forward and also saluted Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others.

Since Cao Cao and Yuan Shao let their female dependents meet Ma Guiren and Liu Xian, then Ma Guiren can only let them come forward to salute.

Seeing several of Liu Xian's women, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's women were really surprised, because the appearance of these women was too outstanding. They thought to themselves that they were good-looking, but in comparison, they were really ashamed of themselves.

This is also afraid of comparison.

Of course, Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Liu of Yuan Shao, whom Ma Guiren specially asked, are actually not bad in terms of appearance, and they are not inferior to Kong Xue and Cai Yan.

Liu Xian also secretly noticed that among Cao Cao's women, although all of them have their own uniqueness, they can be regarded as having their own styles, but the really outstanding one is Mrs. Ding.

Liu Xian knew that during this period, those truly outstanding beauties had not yet been admitted to Cao Cao's house. Such as Mrs. Bian, Zou, Mrs. Yin, Mrs. Du and so on.

Among Yuan Shao's women, it is Mrs. Liu, and the others are really a lot worse. In fact, when it comes to picking up girls, Yuan Shao is really far behind Cao Cao. There may be a lot of women, but I haven't heard much of what is really famous, and now this Mrs. Liu should be regarded as the most outstanding of Yuan Shao's women, barely on par with Mrs. Ding.

However, it was very impolite to look at the other party's female dependents, and Liu Xian just glanced at them casually, and did not take a closer look at them one by one.

Similarly, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are the same, they themselves are people of this ancient era, in some relatively formal occasions, especially in front of Ma Guiren, their behavior is much more serious, and they dare not look at Liu Xian's wives and concubines at will.

At this time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao did just glance at Liu Xian's women, but they all saw Lai Ying'er standing with Liu Xian's women.

Lai Ying'er herself has foreign blood, so her figure is relatively taller. Among Liu Xian's women now, she is the highest.

Therefore, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao saw her at a glance.

After seeing it, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were stunned all of a sudden, and Cao Cao was even more shocked, with an incredible look, and even couldn't help but say, "Miss Ying'er? Y-Why are you here? Also with ......"

Cao Cao was dumbfounded, but Yuan Shao pulled him and made him not say the following words.

Liu Xian naturally talked to Ma Guiren about the origin of Lai Ying'er, and Ma Guiren must have known about Ying'er, but he didn't know what Lai Ying'er had to do with Cao Cao.

Of course, now that Cao Cao recognizes Ying'er, Ma Guiren is naturally not surprised, because she knows that when Ying'er came to the draft workshop, she must have been seen and known, not to mention the first beauty in Luoyang Qinglou, so famous, it is not strange that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao know each other.

Lai Ying'er seemed to be very settled at this time, and generously stepped forward to give Cao Cao and Yuan Shao a salute and said, "Ying'er meets Yuan Gongzi and Cao Gongzi." In the past, Ying'er was in the draft workshop, and she was also taken care of by two sons, and Ying'er was grateful here. The two sons learned that now Ying'er has left the draft workshop and lived in the Marquis Wuyong's mansion. β€œ

"Huh? W-How is this going on? Why haven't you heard this about the draft shop? By the way, you performed at the talent show the other day, right? What's this? Cao Cao's face was really a little ugly and difficult to understand at this time.

"Ying'er's thing is like this, the emperor intended to send a few beauties to Marquis Wu Yong, and then they were selected from the draft workshop. However, in terms of the shopkeeper of the draft workshop, in order not to affect the business of the draft workshop, I implore Ying'er to continue to perform at the draft workshop at a convenient time until the draft workshop launches a new talented lady. Ma Guiren came to Ying'er in this era and said: "Therefore, the matter of Ying'er marrying Xian'er is still a secret for the time being, so please keep it secret." ”

"Yes, is that so? But...... Ying'er, we ......"

"Haha, this is a good thing, being able to get out of the draft workshop and live in Wuyonghou is also a kind of creation. Congratulations to Miss Ying'er, congratulations to Marquis Wu Yong. Tsk, the Yanfu of Marquis Wu Yong really makes me envious. ”

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao deserved to be friends who had played together since childhood, and at this time he found that Cao Cao seemed to be a little out of shape, so he hurriedly laughed and didn't let Cao Cao say something that was not suitable for the time.

"It's indeed Ying'er's creation, Liu Xian...... Husband, he treats me very well, and I like it too. ”

Lai Ying'er is expressing her position, explaining to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in public that she has recognized Liu Xian as her husband, and you will stop thinking about yourself in the future.

"Okay, okay, now that everyone is destined to know each other, let's climb the mountain and worship the temple earlier. Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Liu, let's go, go up together. ”

Ma Guiren didn't let them say anything more, and stepped forward to take the hands of Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Liu respectively, and asked them to follow unconsciously and walk up the stone steps.

"Mrs. Ding, you and Meng De should have been married for some years, right? Why didn't you come to the temple with your little son? ”

"This ...... This, don't hide it from the noble lady, the slave family hasn't come out yet, this is not that I heard that Bixia Yuanjun is particularly effective, and he wants a son to get a son, so ......"

"Huh? I see, I understand. And what about Mrs. Liu? It's also asking for a child, right? β€œ

"Hmm."

"Gege...... In this way, then everyone is the same, they are all here to ask for a child......"

"Huh? Ma Guiren also came to ask for a son? Mrs. Yuan Shaona and Mrs. Liu seemed to be a little coquettish, and asked stupidly.

"Uh...... It's not for the sake of the nobleman himself...... It's for them......"

"Hey......

The women climbed the stairs, and the warblers and swallows became a unique scenery.
