Liu Wen and Lu Xun's wedding finally reached the last stage, that is, welcome. The six rites refer to Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and greetings. Nacai is to propose, ask the name of the woman who asks for advice (the same surname is not married), Najib is suitable for divination and birthday, Naji is to pay the bride price, the date of the invitation is to determine the date of welcoming the bride, and the kiss is to welcome the bride.

As the time approached, Liu Wen was also excited at the beginning to be anxious later, and the experience calmed down, and slowly began to look forward to it.

On this day, Liu Wen found Liu Cong, and saw that her little sister was slim and graceful, and Liu Cong was really happy from the bottom of her heart. Speaking of which, Liu Wen can be regarded as Bai Fumei in this era, especially the daughter of General Zhennan and the sister of General Zhengnan, the identity of the royal family is enough to envy others. But Liu Wen is not the legendary rude and willful county lord, on the contrary, she has been more kind and lovely under the influence of Liu Cong and Cai Lin over the years.

Of course, Lu Xun, a young talent from Jiangdong Hao clan who can be worthy of Liu Wen, is not a mortal, especially in Liu Cong's opinion, he is very good! Being able to marry such a wishful husband is also the dream of many girls. But today's Liu Wen doesn't seem to be happy.

She walked up to Liu Cong and took Liu Cong's hand seriously: "Second brother, you must take good care of my mother after I get married!" ”

"Silly girl, do you still need to say this?" Liu Cong stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Liu Wen's eyes and soothed.

This is not that Liu Wen is too careful, Liu Wen is the daughter of Liu Biao and Mrs. Cai, Liu Qi, Liu Cong, and Liu Xiu were not born to Mrs. Cai, and now Liu Biao has passed away, Liu Wen married away from home, and Mrs. Cai is alone in the house, and Liu Cong is polite to call Erniang.

Liu Wen believes that Liu Cong will not do it, but after all, Liu Cong is the lord of a state, the lord of millions of people and hundreds of officials, and he will definitely have no time to take care of it when he is busy, and Cai Lin is pregnant, and after the child is born in the future, she will definitely focus on the child, and Mrs. Cai's days can be imagined.

Seeing Liu Cong's full promise, Liu Wen was finally relieved, and after a pause, she said: "Second brother, I just went to see my eldest brother a few days ago, he is really pitiful, can you let him come out, how good is it for the family to live in harmony?" ”

Liu Wen's kindness, which is about to be **, really surprised Liu Cong, when she was hostile to Liu Qi in the past, Liu Wen always stood on Liu Cong's side without hesitation regardless of the occasion, probably because she knew that it would be difficult for her to have the opportunity to see her eldest brother after marrying away from home, so she has been visiting Liu Qi frequently recently.

Compared with Liu Cong's strength, Liu Qi has always been weak, not to mention that he was even more emaciated after being placed under house arrest, which made Liu Wen forget that this eldest brother was the one who had tried to overthrow the Cai family and Liu Cong several times. Forget that he once led the assassination of his second brother twice.

Although Liu Cong was displeased, in the face of his little sister who was about to get married, he still couldn't help but not get angry, but patiently explained: "Wen'er, the second brother knows that you want to see the family live together in harmony, but some things are impossible. The eldest brother thinks he is the eldest son and has never obeyed me, and that's not the point.

The important thing is that if the person who has made such a big mistake is not punished as he deserves, how will the second brother serve the public in the future. If you look at Jingzhou now, how many people are not second brothers, not relatives of the Liu family, and they have started with the eldest brother, what should I do if others make mistakes in the future?

There is also the most critical one, once the eldest brother comes out, those snobbery who used to be hostile to the second brother will jump out to instigate and bewitch the eldest brother, and even the snobbery of other states and counties will use the eldest brother to fight the second brother. Big brother, you don't know that you tried to rely on Liu Bei to compete with the second brother at the beginning, if I let him out now, one day he will defect to Cao Cao and deal with the second brother together, what will happen to me? ”

After listening to Liu Cong, Liu Wen was also silent, what Liu Cong said was very reasonable, she had thought about the problem too simply, the struggle between men, or the struggle between power and politics, was difficult for her to understand and participate in for a while. Even if the second brother admits to release the eldest brother, the eldest brother may not necessarily thank himself and the second brother, this is nature.

"Don't think about the rest, think about how to be a beautiful bride, the second brother will send you to Jiangxia, and then let the third brother send you all the way to the Lu family."

"Really? Thank you, second brother! Liu Wen knew that Liu Cong had already arranged for the third brother Liu Xiu to be responsible for sending off his relatives, but he didn't expect that the second brother would also send him to Jiangxia, or the second brother loved himself!

Liu Cong didn't want to deceive Liu Wen, Liu Wen's words just now also reminded him that as a sibling, putting his eldest brother under house arrest, no matter what the reason, there will always be gossip, so he also wants to take this opportunity to send Liu Wen to save some points for himself, of course, by the way, he also went to see the planning and site selection of Wuchang City, and see how Sha Xian's defense situation is after Sun Quan's sneak attack last time.

The guard of honor to send off relatives was selected with the help of Huang Coupon, and Liu Cong then personally deleted the selection, and dispatched two hundred capable sailors with Huang An as the captain of the guard!

Coupled with the maids and servants and the procession that came to greet them, there were five large boats when they returned. When departing from Xiangyang, there were Liu Cong and others, and the Hanjiang River was very lively for a while. I heard that Liu Cong went to Jiangxia, Mrs. Cai and Cai Lin both asked to send Liu Wen, Liu Cong had no choice but to let Mrs. Cai follow him, as for Cai Lin, it was absolutely not allowed to go out. The officials in Xiangyang are Yi and Sun Qian, the two are older, and by the way, they also made some exchanges with Sun Quan on behalf of Liu Cong.

The send-off team from Xiangyang to Shaxian is escorted by naval warships along the way, which is even more lively. Many Jingzhou soldiers also regard Liu Wen as their sister, and they are also very dedicated to doing things while being happy.

After the boat arrived in Shaxian, Liu Wen said goodbye to her relatives. When Liu Cong was over, he asked Huo Jun to send a boat out of Jiangxia. Looking at the fleet, Liu Cong even asked himself in his heart what was the reason for agreeing to this family business, was it just because Lu Xun and Liu Wen were in love?

From Xiangyang to Wu County, it is nothing in the later generations of harmony, but in the Han Dynasty, the era of horseback riding and boating, not to mention the princes belonging to two different camps. Liu Cong is really worried that one day he will go to war with Sun Quan, and hopes that Sun Quan and Lu Xun will be men, and don't embarrass their beloved little sister.

After sending Liu Wen away, Liu Cong immediately sent someone to send Mrs. Cai back to Xiangyang, and then inspected Shaxian accompanied by Ma Liang and others. I have to say that Cai Mao has not done nothing in Shaxian, at least most of the walls in Shaxian have been repaired. Liu Cong's analysis was correct, Cai Mao might have surrendered to Cao Cao, but he was still very active in resisting Sun Quan.

Crossing the river by boat from Shaxian, opposite Wuchang New Town, Liu Cong patiently explained his plan to Ma Liang, so that this expert in internal affairs could understand that he was not ambitious.

Ma Liang is also grateful for Liu Cong's trust, and told Liu Cong about Ma Cong's injury to Liu Xiu back then, and now one goes to Changsha and the other sends off relatives, time flies so fast. If Liu Biao is replaced by Liu Biao or Liu Bei is Jingzhou Mu, Ma Liang may also be reused, but at least after the age of thirty, and Ma Liang must have the opportunity to show his talent.

Although Ma Liang is very confident, Liu Cong's way of employing people also makes the scholars, including Ma Liang himself, feel very strange. Of course, Liu Cong can't stand by the Yangtze River and say to Ma Liang, I am a traverser, I know your talent, and what Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Dong Yun, Fei Yi, and Shu Han are four phases.

In fact, Liu Cong may not have realized that this is in troubled times, if in the era of peace, the age of the core members of his regime group has become seriously younger!

Before Liu Cong returned to Shaxian, he repeatedly instructed Ma Liang to build a new city seriously, and at the same time, not to forget to guard against the sneak attack of the Jiangdong naval army.

Ma Liang naturally nodded in agreement, and at this time, a soldier by the river hurriedly ran over to report to Ma Liang, saying that a beggar had been found by the river, and he might still be alive. This is if it is changed to normal times, it will be forgotten, now that Liu Wen's family sending team has just passed, Liu Cong has not left in Jiangxia, and the beggar who fell into the river was found by the river, Ma Liang's face was a little unbearable, and he hurriedly followed the soldier to check.

In the distance, several Jiangxia sailors and many onlookers were already surrounded by the river. Ma Liang went to the scene to see, his eyes almost fell into the Yangtze River, it turned out that this beggar was none other than Pang Tong, who followed Liu Qi a few years ago, and later the matter was revealed to take refuge in Jiangdong.
