Chapter 554: Mrs. Liu
What Liu Xin had done just now, he had long expected that Guan Yu would let Liu Bei go. Since he had expected that Guan Yu would let Liu Bei go, but still sent Guan Yu to arrest Liu Bei, this can only mean one thing, Liu Xin fell in love with Cao Hui, and he wanted to find an excuse to get rid of Guan Yu. Because Guan Yu had already surrendered to Liu Xin, of course Liu Xin couldn't kill him blatantly, so as not to chill the virtuous heart of the world, so he had to find such an opportunity.
Cao Bao, who was accustomed to playing all kinds of conspiracies, couldn't help but feel a little proud when he thought of this, and said with a flattering face: "If the adult takes a fancy to the little girl......
"Shut up!" Liu Xin didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he already understood what he meant, and couldn't help but be furious, slapped the table, and stood up.
But Liu Xin quickly regained her composure and sat down again. The child in Cao Hui's belly is a long thread that binds Guan Yu, and he has to be cautious when dealing with Cao Bao. After being silent for a long time, Liu Xin finally said: "Cao Bao, this time I will spare your life, only confiscate half of your family property, degrade to a commoner, and never enter the office." ”
Xuzhou has a total of Mi, Cao, Chen, Sun four families, Mi Zhu left Xiangyang, the Cao family has become Xuzhou's premier first family, even if half of the family property is confiscated, can still be regarded as a wealthy family. Cao Bao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, spending money to eliminate disasters, being able to save his life is more important than anything else, as for being an official or not, it doesn't matter, as long as you have money in your hand, you can still have fine clothes and food. Cao Bao hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked Liu Xin again and again until he was dragged out by the guards.
Liu Xin turned to Qin Yi and sneered, "Hmph, you are Qin Yi?" I heard that you are Lu Bu's old department, and you once followed Lu Bu to attack Xiangyang, and helped Liu Bei raise grain and grass all day long, what a sin! ”
When Liu Xin dealt with Cao Bao just now, Qin Yi had been terrified, but now when he heard Liu Xin say this, he was even more soulless, and knelt down with a "plop" and begged for mercy. He was tied up by five flowers, and he couldn't kneel straight, so he simply lay there.
Liu Xin looked down on such soft bones the most, and couldn't help but mock: "Qin Yi, you want me to spare you, but do you have any capital worthy of me sparing you?" ”
Qin Yi was originally an outsider in Xuzhou, he didn't have a single piece of land, and even the house he lived in was given by Liu Bei, and it was still the old property of the Mi family, and it would soon be taken away. Qin Yi was stunned by what Liu Xin said, and suddenly remembered that Liu Xin said that Cao Bao was able to escape with his life, all thanks to him giving birth to a good daughter.
When he was in Chang'an, Li Ru once spread rumors everywhere that Liu Xin was a womanizer, and the conversation between Liu Xin and Cao Bao just now confirmed this. Although Qin Yi has no daughter, he has a wife who looks like a fairy. Thinking of this, Qin Yi seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and said in a loud voice: "My lord, I have, I have." ”
Liu Xinqi said: "What do you have?" ”
Qin Yi hurriedly said: "The clumsy wife is quite beautiful and willing to sacrifice to the adult. ”
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Since Liu has conquered this Xuzhou City, your woman was originally Liu's trophy, won't Liu take it for himself, do you still need to offer it?" Liu doesn't hide it from you, your woman and son have already been sent by Liu to take them into the back house. ”
The crowd of civil and military officers in the hall burst into bursts of laughter, and the laughter was full of sarcasm, so ashamed that Qin Yi's face was flushed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground and get in.
Liu Xin's face sank suddenly, and he shouted: "Qin Yi, like you, a villain who trades his wife for his life, what's the use of keeping you?" Drag it out and cut it, and hang your head to show the public! ”
Qin Yi begged for mercy hoarsely, but he had already been pulled out like a dead dog by the guards. In fact, Liu Xin did not necessarily have to execute Qin Yi, but he knew that Guan Yu was completely obsessed with Du Xiuniang's beauty. Although Guan Yu wanted to ask Liu Xin to reward Du Xiuniang to him through meritorious service, as long as Qin Yi did not die, presumably even if Guan Yu got Du Xiuniang, his heart would not be so comfortable, and in order to completely subdue Guan Yu, Liu Xin had to take Qin Yi's life first.
When everyone retreated, he said in frustration: "Could it be that the lord wants to keep that woman?" ”
Although he had never seen Du Xiuniang, he was clear about the news that Shopkeeper Song inquired about, according to Shopkeeper Song's description, Du Xiuniang's beauty was in the sky and the world, which made Liu Bei and Guan Yu, the two brothers, obsessed with it, and he was really worried that Liu Xin would forget his righteousness for a while. With Liu Xin's identity, even if he robbed Qin Yi's woman, it would not be a big deal, but Liu Xin wanted to subdue Guan Yu, and it was clear that he didn't want Liu Xin to lose a big deal because of a small thing.
Liu Xin couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw the melancholy on her face, and said, "Gonghe, I can't wait for your reminder, I want to see what the woman who can make Guan Yu dream of being born." How about it, do you want to go with Liu to have a look? ”
Fu Zhi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The lord's inner house, subordinates dare not trespass. ”
Liu Xin ignored him and turned around and entered the back house.
This was originally Mi Zhu's mansion, which was first given to Liu Bei by Tao Qian, and now it was temporarily requisitioned by Liu Xin. Because Liu Xin carried her female dependents, in order to facilitate her daily life, she used this place as a temporary residence. However, Mi Zhu, the owner of the house, not only had no objection to such an arrangement, but was quite happy.
Now, in addition to Minchan and Yan Rui, Du Xiuniang's mother and son and Cao Hui are all placed here in the backyard. In addition, the original maidservants in Gan Mei and Liu Bei's mansion also stayed here and were not sent to other places.
Although it was in the back house, Minchan's face was still covered with a thin veil, and as soon as she saw Liu Xin, Mink Chan stepped forward and said coquettishly: "Master, you are back, why are the slaves not allowed to take off this veil in this back house." ”
Since he knew that Guan Yu was also a womanizer, Liu Xin was extra careful, he believed that even if Guan Yu fell, others would not be much better. Since Diao Chan can be ranked among the four beauties of ancient times, her appearance is naturally speechless. Although Liu Xin has never liked to keep her women in cages, she also doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. So every time she goes out, Liu Xin does not stop Minchan from wearing a veil.
Originally, when she was in the inner house, Minchan didn't have to hide her appearance, but now the situation is a little different, and there are three unrelated women living in the inner house. Among the three women, except for Cao Hui, who turned out to be Guan Yu's wife, the other two women, Liu Xin also wanted to give Guan Yu, a "womanizer". Liu Xin didn't want Minchan's beauty to reach Guan Yu's ears through the mouths of these women.
Of course, Liu Xin would not say these words to Minchan, he smiled and said: "You just came from Jiangnan, the climate here is much drier than Jiangnan, I am afraid that you will not be able to adapt to it for a while, in case the delicate skin like water is blown out, I will feel distressed." ”
Minchan lowered her head shyly and snorted, "Master, you are making fun of the slave family again." ”
Liu Xin smiled, covered up the matter of asking Minchan to wear a veil, and said, "How is it, Mrs. Guan has settled down there?" ”
Minchan smiled at Liu Xinyan and said, "Master's orders, do the slaves dare to do their best?" Not only Mrs. Guan was properly placed, but even Mrs. Qin was arranged. However, the slave family looked at a rare object at Mrs. Qin's place. ”
Liu Xin knew that what Minchan saw was the hosta, and said with a smile: "I told you a long time ago, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, I will give you a better piece of jewelry in the future." Where is that woman arranged? Take me to see it. ”
To be honest, Liu Xin couldn't wait to see Du Xiuniang, Guan didn't want to compete with Guan Yu for any woman, just because Guan Yu repeatedly mentioned it in front of him, which aroused Liu Xin's curiosity.
Hearing that Liu Xin was going to see Du Xiuniang, Diao Chan's heart was obviously a little uncomfortable, and she said faintly: "Master, why don't you go and see Liu Bei's wife first?" ”
Liu Xin felt the drunkenness in Minchan's words, laughed, and said, "Okay, then follow my family Chan'er, first go and see what Liu Bei's wife looks like." ”
moved into this big house for more than half a year, until Xuzhou City was breached, and Ganmei was alone in the empty house. However, she had long been accustomed to such a life, but she didn't expect that one day she would become someone else's prisoner of war, and she was a little apprehensive in her heart.
Gan Mei sat in front of the bronze mirror, looked at the pretty face in the mirror, and sighed secretly, this flower-like body didn't know whose hand it would fall on. She is weak by nature, but she is a smart person, and the final outcome of a beautiful female captive like her can be imagined.
Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and a woman's voice came softly: "Mrs. Liu, my lord sees you coming." ”
Gan Mei turned her head and recognized that it was the woman who had just come to comfort her, and she had heard that this veiled woman was Liu Xin's Seventh Lady. Then the young man who followed the Seventh Lady must be the master she said, that is, Liu Xin. Gan Mei hurriedly stood up, bowed deeply and said: "The concubine has seen the lord and the lady, and in front of the lord and the lady, the concubine can't afford to be called this title." ”
Liu Xin raised his hand and signaled that Gan Mei didn't need to be polite. When Gan Mei stood up straight, he took a closer look, and the famous Mrs. Gan in history was really very beautiful, and her pretty face was as white as jade, but she was a little haggard and a little melancholy. Liu Xin couldn't help but nod secretly, although Gan Mei was wearing a thick long dress, judging from her face and her exposed arms, it was rumored that she was fair-skinned. Although Liu Xin was very curious about these rumors, he could only guess that he was not shameless enough to let Gan Mei take off his clothes to verify it for him.
Although Gan Mei is also a beauty, except for her white skin, her appearance is still slightly inferior to those women in Liu Xin's family. Seeing Gan Mei's apprehension, Liu Xin smiled and said, "Mrs. Gan, you can rest assured to live here, I have already given an order, and no one dares to disturb you." ”
Minchan said with a smile: "Master, you have already seen this Mrs. Liu, how do you feel?" ”
