Chapter 5: Hou Ye's Deal
"In broad daylight, you still dare to rob it! I'm the future Hou Ye, how dare you be so rude! Liu Xin snorted angrily.
Several family members looked at each other and did not dare to step forward.
"Don't do it yet." The old man shouted.
The family members listened to the old man's order and rushed up. When Liu Xin saw it, his heart was on fire, he took the lid of the Baodian box into his arms, put on a posture, and fought with the family.
Liu Xin learned the Qingcheng faction's splitting fist, it is said that the ancestor of his ancestor can break a branch the thickness of his thumb twenty meters away with one punch in the air, and the earlier ancestors can break a small tree forty meters away with one punch, but these are just legends, no one has ever seen them. Liu Xin's master could extinguish nine candles two meters away, while Liu Xin could only extinguish one candle after ten years of practice. Liu Xin has been in this world for 20 days, he understands that in this era, a good kung fu is more important than anything else, every morning and evening diligently practiced, kung fu has never fallen, where are these family members his opponents, he has already been knocked to the ground by three strikes and five divisions.
"Take me to see Master Hou!" The old man saw that the situation was not good, and he turned around and wanted to run, but was caught by Liu Xin.
"Don't be rude!" There was a man in the back of the side hall, about fifty years old, wearing a crown, a black shirt, a red silk robe, a sword hanging from his waist, and his face was sinking like water.
Liu Xin was shocked by this person's momentum, and his hand involuntarily let go. The old man hurriedly stepped aside and bowed his head silently.
"Come on, bring them all down." The man waved his hand at the old man again. "Go down too."
The people who came stared at Liu Xin with both eyes, Liu Xin was not afraid at all, and looked at him angrily, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing for a while.
"What do you call this little brother?" After a moment, the man couldn't help it, his face softened, and he asked first.
"Under Liu Xin, I came to see Master Hou."
"Oh, do you have anything to do with Ben Hou?"
"It turns out that you are Master Hou, Xiaomin has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and there are many offenses, please Hou Ye Haihan." Liu Xin gave a deep salute, in fact, Liu Xin had already seen that this person must be Liu Chong, the Marquis of the nest.
"Don't be polite, you can say something."
"Xiaomin is here for this. Xiaomin wants to see the box and lid match with his own eyes. Liu Xin took out the lid of the Baodian box from his arms. In fact, Liu Xin refused to let go of the lid of this box, making it clear that he didn't trust Liu Chong.
"Your surname is Liu, what is your father's name? Where did this thing come from? Liu Chong saw the lid of the box, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
"Father Liu Jian, this thing was given to me by my father." Liu Xin saw some clues from Liu Chong and the old man's eyes, and his confidence in the success of the match was greatly increased.
"Where is your father? What's your grandfather's name? ”
"My grandfather's name is Liu Kai, and my father passed away not long ago." Liu Xin thought that his father had died just one day after they met, and he couldn't even do his filial piety, so he couldn't help but feel sad.
"You must go to the match yourself, but do you know what the consequences of not succeeding?" Liu Chong saw Liu Xin mention his father, his expression was sad, not like a hypocrisy, and he secretly said in his heart, could it be that he is really my nephew?
"No matter what, I'm going to watch from the sidelines." After the scene just now, in addition to Liu Xin's still distrust of Liu Chong, his confidence in his skills has increased greatly, hmph, the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty are nothing great, it's a big deal that I will kill it.
"Well, before the box and lid match, I have one condition." Obviously, Liu Zhong is very confident that the box and lid can match.
"On what terms?" It turned out that this Liu Chong really didn't follow his good intentions, the sentence that there is no free lunch in the world is really a thousand-year-old truth, and Liu Xin despised Liu Chong again in his heart.
"The condition is that if the box and lid match, I will pass the position to you on the spot!"
Liu Xin secretly said in his heart, this is also a condition, this condition is too good, and Liu Chong couldn't help but be impressed.
"But ......", it turns out that there is still the following, this Liu Chong is really not simple.
"You want to make a son!" Only then did Liu Chong say the core of the condition.
"No, what are you kidding, I haven't given birth to a son yet." Liu Xin refused on the spot. He and Ma Yun are not married yet, even if the first hit has to wait for ten months, and I don't know if it is a man or a woman, Liu Xin never imagined that it would be such a condition.
"You don't have to worry about this, I've prepared it for you. If the box and lid match, you will hang the name of the marquis, and you don't have to worry about other things, and I will give you a large sum of money. What do you think? Liu Chong finally said the ultimate goal.
Grandma's, tossing for a long time, it turns out that I am a nominal marquis! To make a deal or not to make a deal, this question is a bit difficult!
"You have to think about it, if you don't agree to this condition, you won't get anything, I'll give you a pillar of incense." Liu Chongyi's appearance of winning steadily.
"How much can you give me?"
"Ten million dollars!"
"Okay, deal! But I also have to add a condition! Liu Xin hesitated.
"You also have the conditions, okay, you say." Liu Chong looked at Liu Xin a little strangely, what conditions will you kid have?
"My conditions are - Bao, Tian, Box, Quan, Gui, I!" Liu Xin said word by word.
"Hahaha, what kind of condition is this, what is a Baodian box worth. There is no problem, the box and lid are successfully paired, and the Boden box belongs to you. Liu Chong couldn't help laughing, this was too simple, where did he think that this Baodian box contained Liu Xin's gratitude to his father-in-law.
"Now you go to the post house with me first, see if the box and lid can be matched, and then talk about other things in detail." Seeing that the conditions had been negotiated, Liu Chong couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and regardless of his identity, he took Liu Xin's hand and ran out, shouting as he ran: "Prepare the car, hurry!" ”
Liu Zhong pulled Liu Xin into the carriage and set off under the escort of a large group of family members. Neither of them spoke along the way, Liu Xin was a little apprehensive, and Liu Chong was a little excited.
The entrance of the post house. A young eunuch greeted him and whispered, "The slave has seen the Hou Ye." ”
"Well, talk inside." Although he is in charge, Liu Chong is also a member of the Han family, so he doesn't take this little eunuch seriously.
Liu Xin raised his eyes and looked, this is a real eunuch! I finally met the eunuch, I had only seen it on TV before, but it was all played by actors, this is a real eunuch. I saw that the eunuch was in his twenties, and he looked handsome, but his skin was slightly dark, and he really didn't have a beard on his chin, and he couldn't even see a stubble, and he had an orchid finger!
The eunuch saw Liu Xin staring at him non-stop, a little displeased, and asked softly, "Master Hou, who is this person?" ”
This person claimed to be Liu Xin, and brought the lid of the Baodian box. Liu Xin, I haven't seen adults yet. This eunuch is also an internal official, so Liu Chong called him an adult.
"Xiaomin Liu Xin has seen his father-in-law." Liu Xin stepped forward and gave a salute.
"What do you call me?" The little eunuch was a little surprised.
"Xiaomin Liu Xin has seen his father-in-law." Liu Xin had no choice but to give another salute, muttering in her heart, isn't this how eunuchs are called on TV, is there anything wrong.
"Father-in-law, father-in-law, interesting. Haha, please Hou Ye. The eunuch said with one end, and led the way with the other.
When he came to the post house, the little eunuch waved his hand, and a sergeant-like man came with a red silk covering the plate. The little eunuch lifted the red silk, and there was a lacquer box on the plate, without a lid, and the red background was depicted with black lacquer cloud dragon pattern, dot pattern, diamond pattern, and stone pattern, and the workmanship was very exquisite.
"These days, I don't know how many people bring a box lid, but none of them can match it, so take yours out too." The little eunuch glanced at Liu Xin.
"Father-in-law, look." Liu Xin took out the lid of the box from his arms and presented it with both hands.
"Well, this object has a bit of a look. Master Hou, the slave maid will give it a try. As soon as the little eunuch heard Liu Xin call him "father-in-law", his face was full of smiles.
"Well, Ben Hou also felt a little similar, so he personally brought him over." Liu Chong saw the box again, and he added a little confidence.
The little eunuch picked up the lid and put it on the box.
In an instant, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the little eunuch's hand, and their hearts hung in the air.
Just listen to the sound of "pop", the lid and the box match, and the decoration is connected, which is not bad at all. What's even more surprising is that the lid and box fit together, but they can't be opened. After a closer look, a black lacquer dot in the middle of the lid of the box actually bulged, and the little eunuch pressed lightly on the bulging black dot with his hand, and listened to the sound of "pop", and the lid of the box automatically popped up. Everyone was stunned for a while, and it was really unprecedented, ingenious,
"Congratulations to Master Hou, congratulations to Master Hou. Hou Ye finally got his wish today. These two pieces are indeed a pair of original matches, and no skilled craftsman can do it. The little eunuch hurriedly congratulated Liu Chong, but said to Liu Xin: "Although this box and lid match, it can't prove that you are Liu Kai's descendant!" ”
When Liu Zhong heard this, he was shocked, could it be that the emperor made it clear that he wanted to take back the feudal country.
Liu Xin was prepared, and said unhurriedly: "Back to my father-in-law, there is still a genealogy below, which is enough to prove my identity." The genealogy is now in the lowly place, and it has not been brought, and the father-in-law wants to see it, so he will go and get it now. ”
Liu Zhong was secretly happy, since there is a family tree, even the emperor can't say anything.
The little eunuch listened, but his expression was stunned, and he was silent for a long time and said, "Since there is a family tree, it is not a big problem. However, now I am not in a hurry to see, there is a word in the palace, Hou Ye Zhang will come to the nest in person, and he will arrive tomorrow, you will bring the family tree over tomorrow, as for this Baodian box, leave it in the post house first, and then return it to you after the Hou Ye personally inspected it tomorrow. ”
Liu Xin and Liu Zhong listened to the words of the little eunuch, and naturally knew that this Hou Ye must be referring to Zhang Rang, who was at the head of the "Ten Standing Attendants".
Liu Zhongzhong became uneasy and asked: "Dare to ask this adult, I don't know that Marquis Zhang came to live in the nest in person, but what is the important matter?" ”
The little eunuch said a little impatiently: "Marquis Zhang is naturally here to do something, as for what to do, it is not a small one that can be asked, you two went back before, and it will naturally be clear tomorrow morning." ”
