Ma Yun turned her head, looked at Liu Xin seriously, and said, "No matter how you disguise yourself, you can't hide this look from me." ”

Liu Xin laughed and said, "That's right. No matter how high the technique of disguise is, there are two places that cannot be disguised, one is the eyes, and the other is the temperament, which will inadvertently reveal the true appearance. Look at Ugly, her eyes are full of confidence, and this kind of confidence is definitely impossible to pretend. How could a little girl who looks so ugly be so confident without having low self-esteem? That means she's not ugly at all. ”

Ma Yun also smiled and said, "What can you say, she is a four-year-old child who knows what beauty and ugliness are." If so, can Yua still play with her? ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "You don't understand, Yu'er is a boy and pays less attention to his appearance." But the ugly is different, the girl is ** beautiful, how can she not pay attention to her appearance. At her age, do you like to look in the mirror? Do you like to wear floral clothes? ”

Ma Yun closed her eyes and silently recalled the past of her childhood, a chuckle on the corner of her mouth.

Liu Xin couldn't help but smile when she looked at her appearance, and asked, "Do you remember the stinky and beautiful appearance when you were a child?" ”

Ma Yun faked anger and said: "You are stinky and beautiful!" However, there seems to be such a thing, but I don't remember it clearly. However, this does not mean that Ugly will be confident in his appearance. ”

Liu Xin smiled: "You should still believe in my vision, not to mention anything else, the birthmark on her face was definitely glued later." I also know that there is the juice of plants, and when people put a little bit of it in the bath, the skin will turn black, and the hair will turn yellow, and if you wash it with water, it will change back to its original state. ”

Ma Yun groaned: "So, Ugly should be very beautiful, so why did she deliberately make herself look like this?" ”

Liu Xin said: "It's hard to say that it's beautiful, but it's definitely not bad." As for why she made it like this, she had to ask her father. ”

Ma Yun suddenly turned her head, looked at Liu Xin, and said very seriously: "Husband, you see that this ugly and Yu'er can play together, if she is really beautiful, it would be good to be a daughter-in-law to Yu'er." ”

Liu Xin was taken aback by her words, and hurriedly said: "Don't mess around, that's Zhuge Liang's wife, I heard that the wooden cow flowing horse was made by the two of them together, and I want to see what this legendary wooden cow flowing horse looks like." ”

Ma Yun said disappreciably: "What's wrong with Zhuge Liang's wife, I don't believe that my son can't compare to him." Besides, you can't just allow your governor to set fires and prevent the people from lighting them. ”

Liu Xin asked puzzledly: "What did you say about the state officials setting fires?" ”

Ma Yun snorted coldly and said, "I don't know about this." In the Song Dynasty, there was a state official named Tian Deng, because it was taboo for others to say his name, and 'Deng' and 'Deng' had the same sound, so it was stipulated that all places where the word 'lamp' was used should be changed to the word 'fire'. During the Lantern Festival, the government routinely put on the lanterns for three days, and the notice posted as a result was written in a big book, 'Honshu set fire three times according to the rules'. ”

Liu Xin touched his head and wondered: "I also know this allusion, but what does this have to do with me?" ”

Ma Yun stared at Liu Xin up and down, and suddenly "hummed" and said, "Do you really don't know or fake don't know." Is it only allowed that you, the state official, are allowed to rob Cao Ying's wife, and my son is not allowed to rob Zhuge Liang's wife? ”

Liu Xin suddenly realized, and suddenly stopped.

Early the next morning, Huang Chengyan's family resigned to Cai Mao. Cai Mao tried her best to keep it and said, "Sister, sister-in-law, it's rare for you to come to Xiangyang, so let's stay for a few more days before leaving." ”

Huang Chengyan said: "I can feel the changes in Jingzhou when I am at home, but I didn't expect to come to Xiangyang this time, which surprised me, I have to hurry home and sort out this brain." It seems that this Liu Zhoumu is really not simple, he can do this at a young age, it's amazing! ”

Cai Mao echoed in a loud voice: "That's, that's." ”

Huang Chengyan said: "Moreover, the Jingzhou briefing made by Liu Zhoumu is also very good, and after reading the content above, it often gives people a lot of inspiration." ”

Cai Mao echoed again: "That's, that's." ”

Huang Chengyan continued: "Even the little son of the Liu family is not simple, I heard Ah Chou come back and tell him what he said, I still haven't figured it out, I really don't know how his head grows." ”

Cai Mao echoed as usual: "That's, that's." ”

Huang Chengyan looked at Cai Mao and said earnestly: "Deju, you have to follow Lord Zhou Mu to do a good job." I estimate that it won't be long before Liu Zhoumu will rearrange your position, and if my guess is right, I should make you a guard. ”

Cai Mao nodded and said, "That's, that's." Yes! You said the Lord Guild would let me be a guard! How is this possible, Taishou is much stronger than my captain. ”

In the past two days, Huang Chengyan has read several Jingzhou briefings at Cai Mao's home, and he already knows that the powers and responsibilities of the county guards in Jingzhou have changed a lot compared with before. Huang Chengyan couldn't understand how Liu Xin, such a powerful person, could let Cai Mao be the captain of the navy, he would only follow people with "that, that" all day long. Huang Chengyan is very clear about his uncle's ability, his own martial arts are mediocre, and he doesn't know much about strategy, not to mention that he can't lead the navy, even if he can't lead the infantry army. How did he know that Liu Xin's arrangement was entirely because of a sentence in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", saying that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun had lived in Jiangdong for a long time and were familiar with the method of water warfare.

Seeing Cai Mao's excited face, Huang Chengyan shook his head and said, "Dejun, you don't have to think about it now, just reflect on it at home, if there is anything wrong in the past, just wait for Liu Zhoumu's appointment." In addition, I heard your sister come back and say that Liu Zhoumu's wives are all beautiful and fragrant, and the little sister has little chance of staying in the Zhou Mu Mansion, so you should find a way to bring her back. ”

Cai Mao said with a bitter face: "My sister has already said that my little sister refuses to come back, what can I do." ”

Huang Chengyan looked up and said, "It's not too early, let's leave, take care." ”

Cai Mao arched her hand and said: "Sister, sister-in-law, you have a good journey, remember to come back often." ”

Huang Chengyan said with a smile: "If you don't invite you in the future, I will come often, at least every month's Jingzhou briefing, I must come to borrow it." ”

Ah Chou said with a serious face next to him: "Dad, I'm coming too, I'm going to see my aunt!" ”

Cai Yue smiled: "My ugly family doesn't want to see my aunt, I want to see that little brother." ”

Ah Chou pouted, and said with an unconvinced face: "Who said that he is an elder brother, he is almost a younger brother." ”

Entering May, Jingzhou has been full of happy events, this year the wind and rain are smooth, and the summer grain has once again obtained a bumper harvest, which is the fourth consecutive harvest year. The two little sons of the State Pastoral Mansion have passed the week one after another. Ma Yun learned to be obedient this time, and when she grabbed Zhou, she no longer let people hold things, but put the plates in front of the children and let them pick them by themselves. She also made a heart, this time the book on the plate was very colorful on the cover, which was very eye-catching. Sure enough, Ma Fan grabbed the thread-bound book in his hand, and Ma Yun immediately smiled when she saw this situation. When it came time for Liu Pi to arrest Zhou, it was the same result, and Bian Yu was naturally even more overjoyed. Liu Xin knew that it was greasy inside, but seeing that they were so happy, she didn't say anything.

In June, Liu Xin really announced personnel changes. Han Opera was appointed as the governor of Jingbei Province to comprehensively supervise the government affairs of the five counties of Jingbei. Kuai Liang was appointed as the governor of Jingnan Province to oversee the government affairs of the four counties of Jingnan. Liu Xin's appointment was carefully considered, and now the candidate for the Taishou is irrelevant, but if he directly manages those Taishou, Du Wei, and tax officials, the workload is too great, and he needs to set up a role similar to the history of assassination between himself and these local officials, so he has the position of chief manager. Jingbei is adjacent to Yingchuan, Han Opera is a native of Yingchuan, and was born in Yingchuan Academy, and many famous strategists in the Three Kingdoms are from Yingchuan Academy. Liu Xin doesn't dare to openly recruit talents with great fanfare now, and having a person like Han Opera from Yingchuan Academy who is a big official in Jingzhou may attract his fellow disciples and brothers to take the initiative to come to work. Kuai Liang has always advocated the implementation of benevolent government, and he did the same, Jing Nan has just calmed down, and let him be the governor of Jing Nan Province, which is just right to win people's hearts.

Cai Mao was also appointed as the Taishou of Xiangyang on this day, although Huang Chengyan had long predicted that he was very likely to be appointed as the Taishou by Liu Xin, and when he got the news, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. Before dawn the next day, Cai Mao hurriedly got up and immediately sent someone to Baishui to report the good news to Huang Chengyan, and he already admired him in his heart, and his brother-in-law really expected things like a god.

Also in June, Zhang He, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong, who were in charge of suppressing bandits in Jingnan, sent good news. The bandit Ou Xing, who had been rampant in Changsha for more than ten years, was finally completely defeated in this crackdown, and Ou Xing fled to other counties with three or five followers alone. The two thieves of the Zhou Dynasty and Guo Shi, who had been entrenched in Lingling and Guiyang for many years, were repeatedly attacked, and were finally surrounded and annihilated in the cottage, and both of them were captured alive.

These three people used to be Liu Xin's heart disease, and it was because of them in history that Sun Jian occupied the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang. The stone in Liu Xin's heart finally fell to the ground, and with a stroke of his pen, he sentenced Zhou Chao and Guo Shi to a decisive decision. The Zhou Dynasty and Guo Shi have been in trouble in Lingling and Guiyang counties for many years, and the people have suffered greatly. These two people were publicly beheaded in Lingling City, and on the day of the execution, the entire Lingling City was empty.

In recent days, Cai Mao, who has taken office as a new official, has been particularly active, and he doesn't know whether he has been bored at home for too long, or he wants to behave well in front of Liu Xin.

On this day, Cai Mao came back from patrolling the street as usual, but saw Huang Chengyan hurriedly walking down from the carriage, and asked in surprise: "Sister-in-law, why are you here at this time?" ”
