Chapter 338: Difficulties (Second Update)
Other people's situation, although Zhu Rong is not clear, but she knows Dian Wei's martial arts, if Meng Shu meets Dian Wei, it will be a dead end. Zhu Rong secretly made up her mind that she couldn't let Meng Huo die in the hands of someone other than Liu Xin no matter what, but it really didn't work, so she cast a flying knife, struck first, and personally took Meng Shu's life.
How did she know that Liu Xin didn't plan to do anything at all, so he didn't bring any other weapons except those flying knives for self-defense, and he didn't even take Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd with him. Because Liu Xin knew that although he had practiced the halberd method for a few days, his progress was not fast, and it was the same with or without it. Besides, as the commander of the three armies, he is in command of the Chinese army, who will let him go into battle and fight the enemy, at most he will say two words and make a show.
Twenty-two flying knives, Liu Xin always carries with him, and he doesn't need to bring anything else, so he has nothing to prepare, the only thing to do is to resign from his family.
Ma Yun went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. Some time ago, she arrested many street gangsters, and she wanted to order the Xiangyang local government to interrogate them strictly, and Ma Yun, who was born as a policeman, already had a plan to rebuild a new order in the city. As for Bian Yu, she shouldn't have gotten up yet, although she has the first day of Ma Yun, but Liu Xin, who has been holding back for half a year, is not so easy to deal with, this night has changed a lot of tricks, and finally Bian Yu fell asleep directly in Liu Xin's arms, and it seems that he will not wake up until dusk.
So Liu Xin didn't take a detour, but went straight to Cai Yan's small courtyard. Pushing open the courtyard door, I saw Xiu'er, Ling'er and three young children playing a game of eagle catching chickens in the courtyard, and this game was passed on by Liu Xin and Ma Yun.
As soon as Cai Yi saw Liu Xin, he threw away his two younger sisters and threw himself into his arms excitedly, shouting repeatedly: "Daddy hug, daddy hug." ”
Liu Xin picked up her son and said to her two daughters: "Why, I don't scream when I see my father." ”
The two sisters are still young, and they haven't seen Liu Xin for more than half a year, and they don't dare to come over when they look at Liu Xin timidly.
Xiu'er was afraid that Liu Xin would be unhappy, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master, why are you here now?" ”
Liu Xin has now found a way to distinguish between the two sisters, Xiu'er has a pair of shallow dimples on her face when she laughs, but Ling'er does not, as long as they smile, Liu Xin knows who is who. Liu Xin held her son with one hand, pinched Xiu'er's face with the other, and quipped: "Hehe, it seems that our Xiu'er doesn't welcome me." ”
Xiu'er blushed, lowered her head and said, "Master, how can there be, Xiu'er ......"
Ling'er smiled: "We Xiu'er dreamed that the master could come." ”
Liu Xin said "oh" and said: "So only Xiu'er wants to say this, Ling'er doesn't want to?" ”
Ling'er said coquettishly: "Master, you are necrotic." ”
Yes, how could they not want to, there are more monks and less porridge, and they have been looking forward to this day for a long time. According to the usual practice, Liu Xin should come to this courtyard today, and Cai Yan has just given birth to a child and is not yet a full moon, so they can serve the master justifiably, even if they have a big sleep with him, it doesn't matter. Moreover, they still want to have another son for Liu Xin.
Liu Xin laughed and said, "If I die, you sisters ......"
"Master, don't talk nonsense." "Phew, no taboos, no taboos."
The twin sisters had the same heart, one left and one right, and the two slender jade hands pressed on Liu Xin's mouth almost at the same time. Liu Xin held both hands at the same time, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's take the children to continue playing, what about Zhaoji?" ”
Ling'er pointed to the inside of the house and said, "Just now, the little young master was crying outside, and the third lady hugged him in to breastfeed." ”
Cai Yan heard the knock on the door, looked up and saw that it was Liu Xin who came in, smiled at her, and buried his head to feed little Liu Xiang attentively. The little guy sucks hard, and the two little cheeks are bulging one by one, which is very cute.
Liu Xin walked up to the front lightly and reached out to touch Liu Xiang's little face, Liu Xiang actually raised a small hand and held one of Liu Xin's fingers hard, looking like a father and son, but the little mouth was reluctant to let go of the cherry on Cai Yan's chest. Because she was in the feeding period, Cai Yan's breasts were obviously much fuller, and Liu Xin, who was watching her son breastfeeding, was attracted by the deep ravine.
Cai Yan blushed for a while when he saw his fiery gaze, and said coquettishly: "I'm ashamed, don't stand aside quickly." ”
Liu Xin sat down next to her with a smile and said, "What are you afraid of, there are no outsiders here." Besides, I've been told to eat it, are you afraid that I won't watch it? ”
Cai Yan was even more ashamed, his head was about to be buried in his son's face, and he said repeatedly: "Go and go, if you are not serious, be careful to teach your son badly." ”
Liu Xin straightened her head, looked at it carefully and said, "Zhaoji, you are getting more and more beautiful." Actually, you already have children and daughters, why bother so hard and give birth to so many children. By the way, didn't the family invite a wet nurse? ”
This is what Liu Xin can't understand the most, in his original era, many women didn't even want to have a child in order to maintain their figure, and these women of his, who wanted to give birth to two, and wanted to give birth to a third after giving birth to two. Not only his women, but many women in this era are like this, take Yang'an Princess Liu Hua as an example, she has given birth to six sons and a daughter in one go, looking at that posture, it seems that there is still the possibility of continuing to give birth.
On this issue, Liu Xin can only express her thoughts euphemistically, but she cannot rudely deprive them of their reproductive rights. And the women automatically ignored all these hints to Liu Xin, and Liu Xin could only sigh in vain.
In fact, in this era, there is no way for a woman to have more children. After all, the low level of medical care and living conditions make the infant mortality rate surprisingly high, and in order to ensure the continuation of offspring, there is only one more child. In addition, there is an unspeakable reason, there was no entertainment at that time, many people went to bed after dinner to do exercises between husband and wife, in the absence of contraception, it is normal to have a wife and a bunch of children.
However, Liu Xin is in favor of mother-ru feeding, but these women in the family like to find a wet nurse to feed their children, especially Cai Yan, who was born in a scholarly family, the first two children were nurses invited from outside, so Liu Xin asked this question.
Cai Yan smiled and said, "Husband, you see that Yu'er and Fan'er were born with tiger heads, I heard Sister Yun say that it was the result of her personal feeding." I also want Xiang'er to grow stronger, so that she can be a majestic general in the future. ”
Liu Xin knew that Cai Yan was a strange woman with a high heart, and she must not be willing to let her son return to mediocrity, so she couldn't help laughing and said: "This request is not simple, wait for your husband to go on the expedition today, come back with a big victory, and set an example for Xiang'er." ”
Cai Yan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said, "Husband, you just came back, why are you going out again today?" The words were full of reluctance.
Liu Xin put away her smile and said, "Zhaoji, the people of the world are in dire straits, and your husband's duty is not to slack off." When the world is at peace, I will stay with your sisters and never be separated. ”
Cai Yan is a woman who knows the general situation, although she is reluctant to get together and part, she still nodded and said: "Husband, the big thing is important, our sisters will take care of themselves at home, you can rest assured." Since you're leaving, let's hurry up and take a look at Sister Qian and Sister Jue, especially Sister Jue, who is about to give birth to a child, which is her first child, and it is also a pass for women. ”
A crisp and mournful voice came from outside the door and said, "Sister, don't dare to work master, we came by ourselves." ”
When Liu Xin and Cai Yan followed the sound, it was Cai Jue who walked in slowly with his stomach up, and Zhu Qian followed closely with Xiao Liu An, who was less than ten days old. Liu Xin couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm just going to crusade against a few small people this time, or I'll be back soon, so I don't need to be so nervous." ”
In fact, they had long heard that although the enemy's power in the central and southern regions was not as strong as Dong Zhuo, the terrain there was steep, dense jungles, many snakes, insects and beasts, and the climate was humid.
Liu Xin didn't care about these difficulties at all. Every time he did the next big case, he would travel for a period of time, and almost traveled all over the country. According to Liu Xin's understanding, the central and southern areas should belong to the mountainous areas of Sichuan and Guizhou in the later generations, where he has also been there many times, and has donated funds to build several primary schools.
The three beauties took Liu Xin's hand and chattered, inevitably saying something confidant. These words were originally not enough to communicate with outsiders, but Liu Xin's trip was set suddenly, and they couldn't take care of it much.
Time flies, and an hour passes quickly. Because of the last attack in Qike, Zhu Bao used his carriage and a white robe to determine the target, for the sake of safety, Liu Xin learned to be obedient this time, he changed into a black short fight, and it was not very conspicuous among a large group of black-clothed and black-armored soldiers.
Zhu Rong was still dressed in red, riding a fiery horse, just like when she first arrived in Xiangyang, from a distance, it looked like a fire was burning next to Liu Xin. Zhu Rong was holding a shuttle dart in her hand and five flying knives on her back, all of which were specially rebuilt by Ma Yun for her after she came to Xiangyang, which was sharper and more handy than the original one she used, and even under her red clothes, there was a talisman iron armor specially designed and built by Ma Yun. After changing this outfit, Zhu Rong looked even more heroic, and the limelight had faintly overshadowed Liu Xin next to him.
Ma Yun had already gotten the news and rushed back, Bian Yu also forced herself to get out of bed, she didn't care about freshening up, so she stood in front of the door of the state pastor's mansion with sleepy eyes, and even Minchan took the initiative to come over to see Liu Xin off. There was a look of reluctance on everyone's faces. Except for Ma Yun, the faces of the others were also full of worry, as if they foresaw that Liu Xin's expedition would be difficult this time.
