Chapter 70 Naming by the river
Zhang Fang went to Xinye to investigate the situation, but Lu Ren had already finished the matter at hand a few days ago, so he "royal" the anti-gravity glider and rushed back to Chaisang overnight.
In fact, Lu Ren used a communicator to get in touch with Zhang Fang about this matter, and then Zhang Fang could tell Liu Biao. But after thinking about it again, Lu Ren decided that it would be better for him to come forward and say hello to Liu Biao in person. As for the reason, it is very simple, that is, the identity and position of the person who came forward at this time are very important.
After all, Lu Ren still needs to rely on business and trade on the Yangtze River waterway for a long time, so whether it is Liu Biao or Sun Quan, Lu Ren must leave a corresponding leeway. Now that Zhou Yu has made a move, if Lu Ren does not appear in front of Liu Biao in person at this time, and when the battle between Liu Biao and Sun Quan is over, Zhou Yu will spread some rumors to Liu Biao's ears, and Lu Ren's life on Jingxiang's side will not be easy.
On the other hand, on Zhou Yu's side, if Zhou Yu received some news and asked Lu Ren something difficult, Lu Ren could confidently say to Zhou Yu, "I obviously stayed in Chaisang, and I went to your place to play almost every day, why do you say that I went to Liu Biao's house and leaked your Jiangdong military secrets." At that time, the road was not easy to walk, let alone crossing the Yangtze River, so no one would believe that anyone could make a round trip between Xiangyang and Jingzhou in one day and one night.
But then again, the straight-line distance between Xiangyang and Chaisang is less than 600 kilometers, and Lu Ren's use of the Xiangban is about two hours. If this matter was put to Zhou Yu, he would not have thought that Lu Ren would not have thought that Lu Ren would not have gone to him to play every other day, but he would be able to complete a round trip between Chaisang and Xiangyang in this day, so I believe that no matter how much Zhou Yu doubts it at that time, he will not be able to suspect Lu Ren.
Even if Zhou Yu has this idea, I believe that in Zhou Yu's eyes, it is unlikely that he will ask Lu Ren about this matter. After all, Lu Ren is a representative figure of the Jiangdong family at the moment, too many people's eyes are on Lu Ren, if Sun Quan or Zhou Yu asks Lu Ren because of some unreasonable and unreliable things, it is too easy to arouse the strong disgust of the Jiangdong wealthy family. Zhou Yu and Sun Quan are both smart people, and it is impossible for them to do such unwise things.
All in all, Lu Ren took this opportunity to make his personal position clear to Liu Biao and then set off at night. When I returned to Chaisan Pier, it was already midnight, that is, around twelve o'clock in the evening. There was no nightlife at that time, so the whole marina was quiet. Lu Ren drove the board in mid-air to see that there was no problem, picked a suitable place to land, and then turned to the road and walked towards the dock.
Of course, there will be night vigilers here at the dock, and I can't help but be surprised to see Lu Ren walking back in the middle of the night with things on his back and torches, but Lu Ren should not be too simple to deal with the past, just say where he played for a while and then came back late. And when he boarded the ship after a little tossing, Lu Ren faintly heard the sound of a piano coming from the aft deck. After a little hesitation, Lu Ren walked to the stern. Sure enough, at a glance, I saw Cai Yan gently plucking the strings there.
After getting along for many years, what kind of temper Cai Yan has, Lu Ren still knows better. Take it as an example, Cai Yan was sitting there alone at this time, but he didn't pull out any complete melody, and Lu Ren knew that Cai Yan must be thinking about something. Think about Cai Yan again, but he is still hiding such things from himself, and because of the mess during this time, he has no time to take care of Cai Yan. Lu Ren was a little reluctant in his heart.
So after sighing lightly, Lu Ren quietly came behind Cai Yan. But before Lu Ren could make any moves. Cai Yan said without looking back: "You're back." ”
“…… I'm trying to keep my voice quiet, do you know it's me? ”
Cai Yan still didn't look back: "Anyway, we have been married for many years, can I not know your habits?" ”
Lu Ren was speechless, so he had to sit down beside Cai Yan, and only after a long time did he ask a sentence: "Why are you suddenly interested, dancing here in the middle of the night?" ”
Cai Yan was silent for a long time. Finally, he shook his head and said, "It's just a little bit of a concern...... But just in time for you. Yihao, there is something I wanted to hide for a while, because I know that you have some difficult things to do lately, and I am afraid that my affairs here will only distract you. But, but ......."
Lu Ren interrupted Cai Yan's words with a dry smile: "Okay, don't say it." Actually, I saw it a long time ago. ”
Cai Yan was slightly surprised: "You, you have already seen it?" ”
Lu Ren stretched out his hands to Cai Yan: "You, me, Ah Xiu, Xiaolan, and Mi Zhen, we have never encountered this kind of thing, so we have no experience in this area, but don't forget that no matter how much I say it, I have to be called an 'immortal master', how can you hide that little thing from me?" ”
Cai Yan was dumbfounded for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "This is my negligence...... I thought that since Xiumei arrived, and after you officially married the sister of the Mi family, you couldn't take care of it left and right, and you won't be able to see anything here......"
Lu Ren was speechless and stretched out his hand to scratch his head: "Why do I hear you say this, like you're complaining about me?" ”
Cai Yan threw Lu Ren a roll of his eyes: "You are scolding me when you say this kind of thing, right?" Am I the kind of resentful woman who will hold grudges and be jealous? ”
At this moment, Lu Ren was extraordinarily embarrassed, and he didn't know how to deal with it except for the constant "hehe" dry laughter there. Just kidding, if Cai Yan really plays some clever skills on Lu Ren, I'm afraid ten Lu Ren will not be Cai Yan's opponents.
Cai Yan glanced at Lu Ren again, shook his head and said, "After so many years, I don't know what kind of temperament you have?" To put it bluntly, you're also a womanizer. It's just that you always have your own measure, which makes me feel a lot more at ease. Besides, you are thirty-three this year, and you seem to be the only one left in the bloodline of this branch, and it is reasonable for you to marry a few more concubines in order to spread the branches, how can I hold that kind of resentful mentality to hinder your human affairs? The most important thing is that whether it is Xiumei or Xiaozhen, it can be said that everyone is a good sister who has lived and died together, where can there be those dirty things between each other? ”
Lu Ren continued to laugh dryly. As a man, of course I like this kind of marriage system in ancient times, and of course people have to choose the right one. If it is Yuan Shao's Liu family who gets it back, or a master like Liu Biao's Cai family, the trick can only be hehe.
Cai Yan said again: "Yihao, you don't have to worry about anything here, I know how to take care of myself, you can do what you want to do with peace of mind." ”
Lu Ren said: "That's what I said, but after all...... Hey, how do you say that? In fact, when I found out, I was also shocked. To be honest, I've been a little unprepared until now, and I'm just a little bit of a father soon. As you know, I've been through a lot of things, but I'm still like a big kid a lot of the time, and I'm even worried that I'm going to be incompetent as a father. ”
Cai Yan smiled, but his thoughts were suddenly hooked, and after a light sigh, he looked up at the starry sky and said: "At the beginning, Wanmei has been by your side, and she has been ruined by you, but she has never been able to conceive and have children, is it because you have such thoughts, so what have you been avoiding?" ”
Lu Ren was stunned for a long time before nodding lightly and said, "It's really a bit of that...... But why did you suddenly remember to mention Wan'er? ”
Cai Yan sighed lightly again: "Sister Wan has told me many times in private, she has always been angry about not being able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for you, for fear that she will be the same as Mrs. Ding (Cao Cao's original partner, who has no fertility). Looking back now, Wanmei is such a good girl, and she still has such regrets when she dies, but I ...... Alas, I always feel sorry for Sister Wan. ”
“…… Don't be stupid, I'm to blame for this. Actually, I was originally for Wan'er's good, and I wanted to take her away and let her be a young girl again, and enjoy the youth that a girl should have, but I never thought that something like that would happen later. Maybe this is that people are not as good as heaven. ”
Cai Yan subconsciously touched his face, and smiled indifferently: "If there is no accident, if you take her away according to your ideas, she will definitely become the same as me now, right?" And then you'll ask her to accompany you to do the things that only those frivolous teenagers do, and it's really desirable to think about. It's a pity that no matter you and me, we are no longer the frivolous teenagers we used to be. Although you have a way to keep you and me youthful, ...... The heart is gone. ”
Lu Ren nodded. Cai Yan is right, although the appearance can be retained, the original mentality is long gone. At the beginning, Lu Ren thought about how to take Wan'er back to the world, but now Lu Ren has a lot of responsibilities on his body, and Lu Ren also asked himself if he couldn't leave these things behind without heart and lungs.
Cai Yan raised his eyes and looked at Lu Ren for a while, and said softly: "Yihao, you can just do whatever you want, and I also believe that you will never fail me, even if you have a group of wives and concubines." ”
Lu Ren was dumbfounded: "You are my stallion?" ”
Cai Yan smiled slightly: "Haven't you always wanted to be?" ”
“…… You've rarely made fun of me like that. ”
Cai Yan still smiled: "I originally wanted to play the strings in this night and send a little thought, but I didn't want to accidentally tell you this, the depression in my heart was empty, and I unconsciously made a little joke with you." ”
Lu Ren shrugged: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I'm a faceless person for a long time, and I'm doing something right now, I'm afraid it will be quite despicable." Wen Ji, you won't blame me, will you? ”
Cai Yan said: "Didn't I say it just now? Whatever you do, I believe in you. ”
“…… Thank you. Ah, it's almost Mid-Autumn now, and you've been pregnant for months. It's cool by the river, you can play the music and play almost it, don't catch a cold. ”
"I know...... Yihao, now that you know that you are about to become a father, do you prepare the name for your child first? ”
Lu Ren smiled and shook his head: "It's better for you to do this, after all, I can't get on the stage." ”
Cai Yan glanced at Lu Ren again, then looked at the river thoughtfully, and said softly: "Since it was decided by you and I when we listened to the wind on the river, then the boy will be famous at that time, and the girl's words...... It is said that the wind and rain are on the same road, and the girl is called the rain......" (To be continued.) )
