Chapter 62: The New Daughter-in-law

Liu Xin looked back when he heard the sound, and saw that Bian Yu had changed into a plain and elegant light clothes, and was looking at himself with a smile, so he retracted his fist, walked over and asked with concern, "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

Bian Yu said with a smile: "How dare the new daughter-in-law be lazy, it's time to give the lord and wife a cup of tea." ”

Liu Xin still didn't know that the Han Dynasty already had this rule, and Bian Yu was now one of his concubines, and it was logical to ask Ma Yun for peace every morning. Thinking that he got such a beauty by mistake, and thinking of the lingering last night, I suddenly understood that the air splitting boxing I practiced and the meditation exercises were all pure masculine and fierce, and the cooperation between the two can only make the yang energy more and more vigorous, until the ** burns the body. Taijiquan pays attention to overcoming rigidity with softness, combining rigidity and softness, and cooperating with them to make your body truly achieve the harmony of yin and yang. As for why these efforts did not have any outstanding performance in later generations, it can only be explained by the mutation of the environment, to be honest, the sky was bluer in the Han Dynasty, the water was clearer, and all kinds of man-made pollution were almost minimal.

Liu Xin was secretly happy for her discovery, and it seemed that the physical problem could be solved without Concubine Dona. He looked up at Bian Yu, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, although it was a last resort yesterday, but Ma Yunke is a modern woman, her heart should be uncomfortable, and she suddenly felt a little weak, and said: "Why don't you go alone, I'll practice boxing again." ”

Bian Yu understands that the ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws, she is a small one, and the eldest woman always has to pass this level, seeing Liu Xin's prevarication, she said without anger: "This cup of tea always has to be saluted by the lord and the lady together, and you can't escape the lord." ”

Liu Xin sneered: "It's not necessary, our family doesn't have this rule." ”

"Who says we don't have this rule in our house?" Ma Yun didn't know where to go, walked over with a straight face, slowly walked in front of Bian Yu, and said lightly: "No wonder my sister said last time that she only invited me to drink tea when she got married, it turns out that you have already thought about inserting it into this pile of cow dung, come in with me." ”

Bian Yu saw that Ma Yun's face was not good, and followed behind with apprehension, she first accepted the rain and dew, and it was inevitable that she would have some pain when she walked fast, and she couldn't help frowning. Liu Xin was a little distressed and wanted to help her, but she was worried that Ma Yun would be unhappy, so she had to hold back.

Ma Yun saw all this in her eyes, smiled secretly, and walked straight to the top few cases and sat down. Liu Xin had no choice but to walk over to her and sit down gently. Ying'er came in with a lacquer tray and walked over to the two of them and stood still. Bian Yu gritted her teeth, stepped forward calmly, Ying Ying knelt down, took a cup of tea from the plate, handed it to Liu Xin and said, "Please use the tea." Liu Xin received it, but he didn't drink it. Bian Yu took another lamp and said, "Please have tea for Madame." Ma Yun took it casually, drank it all, and suddenly laughed, pulled Bian Yu up, pointed at Liu Xin, and said, "Sister, we will be a family in the future, you have to help me deal with this villain." ”

Liu Xin knew that she was pretending to be just now, relieved herself, drank the tea in the cup, and said, "Then you talk, I'll go out to do something." ”

Ma Yun said: "It's just dawning, what are you going to do?" It's not too late to have breakfast before going. I made my breakfast today. ”

Liu Xin secretly wondered, since he knew Ma Yun, he had never seen her cook a meal, this meal used to be made by himself, and then it was Qiao'er and them who made it, and now the three meals are mainly taken care of by the Zhu family, when did Ma Yun learn to cook? The sun really came out in the west. In fact, this is all due to a sentence that Ma Yun remembered last night, if you want to capture a man's heart, you have to grab a man's stomach, so I got up early this morning and followed Zhu to learn to cook. This is the first meal Ma Yun has cooked, so naturally it won't be much better, but Liu Xin still eats with relish, and as for Bian Yu, of course, he won't be picky.

Liu Xin stood at the door of the mansion, touched his round belly, hiccuped, and sighed silently, if you don't eat, you can't do it, Ma Yun's eyes are looking at it fiercely, if you don't eat more, I'm afraid that Bian Yu's belly will burst.

At this time, a few small sedan chairs suddenly passed outside the door, and Zhang Yun walked up to Liu Xin with a flattering face and said, "Lord, these women were specially left by the villain to give them to the lord." ”

Liu Xin suddenly remembered that Wang Zhen came to find him for his niece, and became puzzled and asked, "Are these women the daughters of the Chen family?" Is Wang Zhen's niece in it? ”

It turned out that Zhang Yun saw that Liu Xin not only did not punish himself that day, but handed over to himself such a beautiful errand as the raid on the Chen family, only thinking that it was because in front of everyone, Liu Xin had something inconvenient to say, but was hinting at himself. So Zhang Yun secretly left a few young and beautiful female dependents of the Chen family, and when there were fewer people who paid attention to this matter, he called a few small sedan chairs and carried them to the state pastor's mansion early in the morning.

Seeing Liu Xin asking, Zhang Yun thought that he had guessed Liu Xin's mind correctly, and hurriedly said: "It's them, do you want to take a look at it first?" Or do you want someone to carry it directly to the back? ”

Liu Xin was furious: "Look at what!" Didn't I tell you that I was going to send back all the women of all three of them? You dare to act so boldly, I'm afraid that the process of confiscation is indispensable for private possession! ”

Zhang Yun was so frightened that his legs weakened, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed like garlic and said: "Lord Mingjian, the villain has always been loyal to his duties, and there is absolutely no fraud in the slightest." ”

In this regard, Liu Xin really wronged Zhang Yun, he got this opportunity and wanted to perform well in front of Liu Xin, he really tried his best to copy the Chen family thoroughly, but he didn't dare to catch any of them.

Liu Xin was in a good mood, but when he made such a fuss, he was not interested, and said angrily: "Okay, send all these women back to their parents' house!" ”

In this way, several women who did not belong to the three major families were also stained, and unexpectedly were not sold into slavery and returned to their parents' homes.

Wang Zhen is planning to organize a caravan to Nanyang and Nanxiang at home, which is also a rare business opportunity for the Wang family. Wancheng and nearly 20 surrounding counties have been seriously damaged, reconstruction needs a lot of building materials, people who have returned to their hometowns also need a lot of living materials, the resumption of agricultural production needs a lot of seeds and farm tools, such a big business, even the parity of sales can also make a lot of money.

At this time, a family member hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in his younger brother Wang Tuo's ear, Wang Tuo turned to Wang Zhen and said, "Big brother, Wan'er is back." ”

Wang Zhenxi said: "Oh, I only went to find Master Liu yesterday, and I will let her come back today." Lord Liu is really a man of his word, and it seems that Nanyang and Nanxiang can do business. By the way, Wan'er is okay? What's going on these days? ”

Wang Tuo looked at the other people in the hall, approached Wang Zhen's side and whispered something. Wang Zhen stretched out his hand and slapped him in the face, and said in annoyance: "What do you say I am doing, I knew that I wouldn't go to the adults yesterday." ”

A girl with big eyes asked puzzledly, "Dad, what happened to Wan'er?" ”

Wang Zhen sighed and said, "In order to please the adults, Wang Yun's wife detained Wan'er privately and sent it to the State Pastoral Mansion this morning. If I hadn't talked much yesterday, Wan'er would have followed the adults by now, so what else would our Wang family have to worry about. ”

I saw that the girl's face sank, and she said angrily: "Dad, if the Wang family wants to prosper, does it rely on sending us women as gifts?" ”

Wang Zhen looked at his daughter when he heard the sound, not only did he not get angry, but his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have made a major discovery, and said: "By the way, Yan'er is not young anymore, Dad should find you a mother-in-law." ”

The girl named Wang Yan was also a smart lord, and immediately understood what Wang Zhen meant, and said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, don't use your brains on your daughter, I won't marry these adults, let's think more about your caravan." ”

The caravan's affairs were soon decided. Wang Zhen has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Wang Shen in a business, ran into a bandit, injured a leg, now walking is still limping, can only stay in Xiangyang to help Wang Zhen organize the supply of goods, the second son Wang Yun led a caravan to Nanyang, the caravan to Nanxiang was led by his daughter Wang Yan.

Early the next morning, the two caravans set off from Xiangyang early. Although the Nanyang Yellow Turban has been pacified, there is still a small group of scattered Yellow Turban troops to loot passers-by, Kuai Liang has long been informed by Liu Xin, in order to prevent accidents, 2,000 soldiers from the Xiangyang defenders are drawn to escort along the road.

The group of soldiers escorting Wang Yan to Nanxiang was led by Cai Xiao. Cai Xiao is mediocre in appearance and has no special skills, but he is a side child of the Cai family in Xiangyang, so he was specially taken care of by Kuai Liang and served as a captain in the Xiangyang Army. Cai and Wang also have a lot of contact, so Cai Xiao also knows Wang Yan and knows that she is the eldest lady of the Wang family, and she is very attentive to this beautiful girl along the way. It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless, and Wang Yan is not interested in him at all.

The realm of Xiangyang is quite safe, and after two days, I came to the boundary of Nanxiang, and I saw a team of people and horses galloping from a distance. Cai Xiao hurriedly restrained the team and clenched the spear, looking uneasily ahead, his palms full of sweat.

Wang Yan glanced at him and sneered secretly. The team in front was all cavalry, the number was about three hundred, and on the horse at the front, a young general, carrying a pole and iron gun, shouted loudly: "Nanxiang Taishou Zhang He is here!" Is there a caravan from Xiangyang in front? ”

Cai Xiao relieved his mind at this time, stepped forward on his horse, and said, "The last general Xiangyang Captain Cai Xiao has seen Master Zhang. ”

With a flick of the iron spear in Zhang He's hand, the cavalry team of three hundred people immediately stopped advancing, and their movements were uniform, as if they were a person, obviously well-trained. Zhang He stepped forward alone and said, "Captain Cai, this is already the boundary of Nanxiang, you go back, the caravan can be handed over to me to escort." ”

Cai Xiaonuonuo continued to speak, signaling his soldiers to make a way and let the caravan move forward. Wang Yan glared at Cai Xiao very unhappily, and shouted at Zhang He: "Hey, Lord Zhang, more than 1,000 people are protecting you along the way, and they are all worried, you are such a person, if something happens, can you afford it?" ”

Zhang He laughed: "With my protection, what kind of robber dares to come to death without opening his eyes!" After Zhang He finished speaking, he turned his horse and didn't look at her anymore.

Wang Yan muttered in a low voice: "Arrogant guy! Then he also commanded the caravan to keep up with Zhang He's team. Zhang He's cavalry was really well-trained, and he immediately divided into three squads and protected the entire caravan in the middle. Along the way, although there was a big beauty like Wang Yan by his side, Zhang He still didn't bother to speak, and even the commanding soldiers only raised their guns to signal, and in addition to the guards, this cavalry didn't do anything for the caravan at all, Wang Yan secretly despised him again: "I'm still a proud guy!" ”

At dusk, a group of men and horses suddenly crowded out of the col in front of them, blocking their way.
