Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping said in unison: "Please give me a name." ”

Liu Xin has been deprived of the right to choose a name at home, and he has even more impulses in this regard outside, and immediately said unashamedly: "I think it's better to call Shuangping Racecourse, which means that the world is peaceful and a good person has a safe life." ”

In fact, others just took one word from each surname, and he took one word from each other's name, which is half a catty and eight taels. However, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping applauded again and again, and said together: "Then how about asking the adults to help us write a plaque?" ”

Liu Xin couldn't help but think of the strange gazes of their father and daughter when they wrote Jiugongge in Cai Yong's house that day, and hurriedly excused himself: "There is still something in my house, and I can't stay for a long time, so you can find another master." With that, he fled.

The matter of asking Liu Xin to write the inscription was not completed, and although the business of the horse farm was also tepid, there were always a few horses that could be sold. Seeing that the business of selling horses can continue in Xiangyang, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping gradually settled down, not to mention that they can make a small profit every time they bring some goods back from Xiangyang. In fact, what they didn't know was that most of the horses sold were secretly bought by Liu Xin in Chencang and arranged for someone to buy them quietly, and now these horses have been secretly put into the barracks.

Liu Xin very skillfully controlled the speed at which Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping sold their horses, basically ensuring that they would sell all the horses they had trafficked in about three months. In this way, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping can be trafficked three or four times a year, while Liu Xin can quietly increase the number of war horses by 3,000 every year without taking the risks in the transportation process.

More and more noble families have begun to buy land and build houses in the new urban area, and as for ordinary people, the government will allocate corresponding land and funds according to the size of the houses they live in now, for them to build their own houses, and the only requirement is that the new houses must use a large number of masonry structures. With the increase in popularity in the new city, Liu Xin instructed Kuailiang to launch the third and fourth batches of shops in a timely manner, all of which were sold in the form of auctions. Although there was no such sky-high price as 9.5 million yuan in these two auctions, the lowest price was not less than 1.5 million yuan. As early as more than a year ago, Liu Xin began to secretly plan the real estate development, and finally came to the harvest season.

May and June are the summer vacation time set by Liu Xin, except for a small number of gentlemen who stayed in the college, all the students have gone home, and Liu Xin and Cai Yong no longer need to teach at the college.

The state priest's mansion was like a great enemy, and Zhang Ji sent several of the most skilled midwives from the medical school. This is Ma Yun's second child, Liu Xin still can't put her mind at ease, and is still like last time, constantly turning in circles outside the delivery room. Fortunately, Ma Yun's birth and rearing this time went unusually well, and the midwives were busy for less than an hour, when they heard a loud cry of "wow" from the baby's room.

Cai Yong was practicing calligraphy in his study at home, and if Liu Xin and Ma Yun saw what he wrote, they would definitely be surprised. Cai Yong wrote "Tsing Yi Fu", which is a masterpiece of Cai Yong's youth, revealing his love for a beautiful woman from a humble background, with a bold and straightforward style, which can be said to be shocking and unique at the time. But in the eyes of Liu Xin and Ma Yun from modern times, this kind of content is too commonplace, and what can really shock them is the font used by Cai Yong, if they see it, they will definitely exclaim: regular script!

Yes, Cai Yong now writes in italics, which is also beneficial to Liu Xin and Ma Yun, who are different from the gentlemen of that era when they give lectures in the academy, but are accustomed to using special chalk to make board books, and the board books are in italics. Cai Yong pondered it carefully and felt that such a font was very distinctive, with beautiful and well-proportioned strokes and dignified and square shapes. In the summer, Cai Yong tried to write at home, but it was out of control, and after such a calligrapher's repeated writing and speculation, the standard regular script came out a hundred years in advance.

Cai Yong was smug at his calligraphy work, and Mrs. Cai hurriedly walked in from outside. Mrs. Cai is not his original partner, she is nearly twenty years younger than him. Cai Yong's first few wives and concubines did not leave him a man and a half woman, and died early one after another, including the heroine of "Tsing Yi Fu", only Mrs. Cai accompanied him through more than ten spring and autumn seasons, and also gave birth to Cai Yan, a talented and beautiful daughter that both their husband and wife were proud of.

Mrs. Cai was not much interested in his calligraphy works, and after a glance, she said, "Master, I went to the Mansion of the Governor just now. ”

Cai Yong stopped his pen and asked with a surprised expression, "What are you doing in the Lord's Mansion?" ”

Mrs. Cai said with a mysterious face: "I heard about something in the Lord's Mansion today, Mrs. Zhou Mu gave birth to ......."

Cai Yong interrupted her and said, "Oh, it's born? Is it a boy or a girl? ”

Mrs. Cai knew that her husband's heart was sick, that is, she had never had a son, and she secretly felt guilty that her stomach was not angry, and her face couldn't help but be slightly hot, and she said in a whisper: "It's a boy, I heard that ......"

Cai Yong couldn't help but feel a little pantothenic acid in his heart, and without waiting for Mrs. Cai to finish speaking, he interrupted her again and said, "I can really give birth, this is already his third son." ”

The feudal ideas of male superiority and inferiority of women and the greatness of no queen have long been deeply implanted in his heart, and even he mentioned himself many times in the recital he wrote to the emperor. In Cai Yong's eyes, no matter how good his daughter Cai Yan is, he is far from being happier than many sons, but unfortunately, as he grows older, all this can only become a dream.

Mrs. Cai was full of unpleasantness by what he said, and said with a red face: "Master, this is not what I said. I heard that the child's name was given by Mrs. Mafan. ”

Cai Yong knew that Ma Yun was also a talented woman, as if Liu Yu's name was given by her, so he didn't feel anything strange. When he heard the end, a shocked look suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked, "What?" What do you say, this kid's surname is Ma? The lord is willing to let his son follow the lady's surname Ma! ”

But I heard Mrs. Cai continue: "Master, it's more than that. The second wife of the state pastor is also about to give birth, and I heard them say today that as long as the second lady is willing, the child can be surnamed Bian. There is also that Zhu, it seems that she is also six or seven months pregnant, and it is said that the child can still follow her surname Zhu after birth. Master, do you think this is a big news? ”

Cai Yong seemed to be stunned, and the brush in his hand didn't know when it fell on the table, and the ink splashed on the paper, making a mess of a good piece of calligraphy, and muttered in his mouth: "Strange news, it's really a strange news!" Forget it, whatever, what does his child's surname have to do with me. ”

He pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart had already overturned the five-flavor bottle, sweet and sour, bitter, spicy and salty, and all kinds of tastes came to his heart at the same time. Cai Yong knows better than anyone that as early as on the way from Luoyang to Jingzhou, her daughter had a little meaning to Liu Xin, if it weren't for her father, she would have given birth now, if she could give birth to a boy, wouldn't she have a future, and she would no longer have to worry about having no shame to see her ancestors after death. One wrong step, one wrong step, Cai Yong shook his head helplessly, there is no regret medicine in the world!

After half a month, the state pastoral office became nervous again, and Bian Yu was about to give birth. In the morning, the amniotic water broke, the midwives were busy all morning, and the child had not yet been born. Liu Xin listened to the painful moans coming from inside outside the door, his heart became tighter and tighter, and he secretly scolded in his heart, if there is modern medical technology and a caesarean section, where will he suffer this crime. It is said that a woman giving birth to a child is a pass, and he really feels it now.

Ma Yun had just breastfed the child and came to the outside of the delivery room, she was a person who came over, and she knew the pain of giving birth, so she sweated a lot for Bian Yu. The wives of Tian Feng and Fu Zhi, who came to listen to the news, were also waiting outside the room, and Liu Xin couldn't stay anymore and avoided the study.

At this time, Mrs. Cai's mother and daughter also came to visit. Although Liu Xin didn't have to go to the academy to teach during the summer vacation recently, two women in the state pastor's mansion gave birth to two women in succession, and there were a lot of things, where did he still have the mind to tell Liu Rui stories. In addition, Zhu Qian's belly is getting bigger day by day, Liu Rui looks forward to her mother giving birth to a little brother or sister as soon as possible, and no longer pesters Liu Xin to listen to stories, so this "Journey to the West" stopped for many days. Ma Yun was busy nursing her child, so naturally she didn't have much time to talk to Cai Yan, and Liu Rui had no new stories to tell, so Cai Yan didn't have any suitable reason to run to the state pastor's mansion every day, and she hadn't been here for more than ten days.

Bian Yu was still shouting loudly inside, and it was uncomfortable to hear it. Ma Yun turned her head and saw that Cai Yan's face was very pale, and remembered that she was not suitable for staying here, so she said, "Sister Zhaoji, I haven't seen you here for a few days, come with me to see the baby." ”

Cai Yan looked at her mother. Mrs. Cai understood what Ma Yun meant, pushed her and said, "Since Mrs. invites, you can go." ”

There are many big trees planted in the governor's mansion, Ma Yun took Cai Yan and walked in the shade for a while, and when she looked back, she saw that her face had not improved, and she didn't say much along the way, so she couldn't help but ask with concern: "Sister Zhaoji, are you uncomfortable in something?" ”

Cai Yan, who had been silent, suddenly had red circles in his eyes, shed two lines of tears, bit his lip, shook his head, and still didn't speak.

Ma Yun was a little strange, and didn't understand why she was crying so well, so she asked, "Did Yu'er's reaction just now be a little big and scared you?" ”

Cai Yan said softly with a little choked up: "No, it didn't scare me. ”

Ma Yun was even more surprised, and continued to ask, "Then why are you crying?" ”

Cai Yan couldn't control herself anymore, fell on Ma Yun's shoulder, cried loudly, and said, "Sister, I like Lord Liu." ”
