Liu Xin said helplessly: "Okay, you just toss around." originally wanted Ugly to be her daughter-in-law, but now she has a crush on this Guo Zhao again. ”

Ma Yun suddenly became unhappy and said: "Don't mention that ugly, my family Yu'er is not worthy of her, Huang Chengyan actually picked it up, and there is no response so far." Hmph, he doesn't say anything, I'm not happy yet. ”

Liu Xin couldn't help but shudder, but she didn't expect Ma Yun to love the world.

Ma Yun saw Liu Xin's stunned face, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry about it, I know that the best way to choose an heir is to choose the best one among several children." However, of course, mothers want their children to be the best ones, and if you want to complain, you can only blame yourself, who let you give birth to so many people. ”

Liu Xin sighed: "Actually, the best way to let the children live in harmony is to limit the emperor's power, put the imperial power in a cage, and not do whatever he wants." Only in this way will no one be worried about becoming an emperor and fighting for the throne. ”

"You haven't become the emperor yet, so you want to limit the imperial power, I really underestimate you." Ma Yun put away her smile and said, "There is something serious I almost forgot to tell you, He Lian came to me yesterday." ”

Liu Xin said in surprise: "He Lian? Empress Dowager He? She has never taken the initiative to come to the house since she arrived in Xiangyang. ”

Ma Yun nodded and said, "Not bad!" She has promised to support you on the throne, with only one request. ”

Liu Xin laughed and said, "I just said, how can she take the initiative like this, it turns out that there are conditions, I don't know what her conditions are?" ”

Ma Yun said: "This condition is also very simple, that is, she wants to recruit a son-in-law. ”

Liu Xin was stunned for a moment and said, "He Lian doesn't have a daughter, what kind of son-in-law to recruit." ”

Ma Yun said: "Do you remember that Tang Xian? Now that she has grown into a big girl, He Lian also recognizes her as a daughter. ”

"Oh." Liu Xin nodded and said, "What kind of son-in-law did He Lianke say he wanted to recruit?" ”

Ma Yun smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about it, she already has a goal, which is the Guo Jia you trust." ”

"Guo Jia!" Liu Xin was taken aback and said, "No wonder Chen Gong came to me today to complain and want to accuse Guo Jia of seducing Tang Xian, but it turned out to be true." ”

"Hmph, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked!" Ma Yun's nose twitched, "Guo Jia is single." Is it only allowed for you to mess with flowers outside, but Guo Jia is not allowed to find a woman? ”

Liu Xin knew that he was entangled with her in this matter, and said curtly: "I didn't mean that, it's just that Tang Xian's identity is a little special, if she agrees to He Lian, I'm afraid it will provoke criticism from the people in Shilin again." ”

Ma Yun said with a smile: "I have already thought about this matter, I can't let Tang Xian start being widowed at a young age." If you get married, you will definitely get married, but you have to change her identity. ”

"Change your identity?" Liu Xin knew that Ma Yun was also full of scheming, so she couldn't help but ask with interest, "What identity do you want to change for her?" Wouldn't it be possible to keep her incognito? ”

Ma Yun said: "It's not simple. Since He Lian has recognized Tang Xian as her daughter, then Tang Xian is no longer Liu Yan's abolished queen and the widow of King Hongnong, but the princess of the Han Dynasty! You think, isn't it natural for the princess to remarry? ”

Liu Xin couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and praised repeatedly: "Wife, you are still smart!" For this matter, I thought about it for a long time and didn't have a result, and I was about to punish Guo Jia for three months, but it really didn't work, and then demoted him to one level, who knew that you would solve all the problems in this way. I just don't know why this He Lian suddenly changed her mind? Why did you just take a fancy to Guo Jia? ”

Seeing that he agreed, Ma Yun said with a smile: "Here's how it is......"

It turned out that although Liu Xin's territory was expanding day by day, the identity of Jingzhou Mu was extremely embarrassing, and he was unwilling to be the emperor. Guo Jia was anxious, and after returning to Xiangyang from Nanzhong, he wanted to ask Empress Dowager He to write an edict to force Liu Xin to ascend the throne.

He Lian has suffered a great change, and she no longer regards herself as the queen mother, and now she just wants to be an ordinary woman, where is she willing to issue this edict, Guo Jia will inevitably come to the door again and again.

Guo Jia is young, personable, talented, and unwilling to talk, plus he has traveled abroad for many years and has seen a lot. And Tang Xian was young and young, just when her love was beginning to open, and her heart was moved by Guo Jia unconsciously.

He Lian is a person from the past, she sees all this in her eyes, she really recognizes Tang Xian as her daughter, and of course she doesn't want her to die alone like herself. Now that he knows that Tang Xian has a crush, and Guo Jia has not married a wife, the two are a good match. Tang Xian's embarrassing identity, of course, He Lian knew it clearly, and she couldn't think of any good way, but she wasn't worried. Since Liu Xin has a request for her, then this brain-using thing will be handed over to Liu Xin to do, anyway, Liu Xin has a lot of talented people, He Lian is too lazy to think of ideas, so she took the initiative to find Ma Yun here.

Early the next morning, Liu Xin left the state pastor's mansion to deal with Tang Xian's matter. Liu Xin always felt that it was too early to be called the emperor, he still had his own ideas, he needed to communicate with He Lian, and Tang Xian also needed to seek Guo Jia's opinion on this matter, so he couldn't force it.

After learning that she was pregnant, Zhu Rong was so excited that she didn't sleep all night, and she didn't close her eyes in a daze until the fourth watch, and suddenly heard Zhu Yu shouting in her ear: "Sister, sister." Wake up, Madame has called you. ”

Zhu Rong struggled to prop up half of his eyelids and muttered, "What did Madam tell me to do in the middle of the night?" ”

Zhu Yu covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister, where is the third watch in the middle of the night, the sun is on the buttocks." ”

Zhu Rong said in surprise: "It's so late! How do I feel like I've just fallen asleep. ”

Finally got dressed with the help of Zhu Yu, and came to a side hall in the backyard, only to see five chairs lined up at the top, Ma Yun sat in the middle, Bian Yu, Cai Yan, and Zhu Qian sat on both sides, and there was an empty chair on the far side of the right hand.

But I heard Qiao'er say: "Mrs. Rong, there is no seat for you here today, please stand here first." ”

Zhu Rong was surprised: "Why don't you have my seat?" ”

Ma Yun said with a serious face: "Sister Zhurong, do you know the rules of our state pastoral mansion, you are the new daughter-in-law, and you want to give you a cup of fragrant tea." ”

Zhu Rong has also lived in the state pastoral mansion for more than half a year, and he knows which are Liu Xin's women, so he can't help but count them with his fingers, and said, "Oh, then I don't want to toast nine cups of tea." ”

Bian Yu laughed and said: "Sister Zhurong, you are also the master's wife now, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, Ying'er and they are just the identity of girls, but you don't have to give them tea, just respect a few of us." ”

At that time, Ma Yun was still quite resistant to Liu Xin's concubine, and at that time she wanted to embarrass Bian Yu, but Bian Yu was very reluctant to do so, and she didn't think there was anything wrong.

Zhu Rong looked at the empty chair, and then realized that the chair was prepared for Cai Jue, she was in confinement, so it was naturally inconvenient to come here. She has a big grinning character, since this is the rule of the house, what else is there to say.

A maid had already brought a tray of pear blossom wood, on which were placed five exquisite white porcelain bowls. These ru white bowls are naturally made according to the descriptions of Liu Xin and Ma Yun, with a soft luster and warm as jade, which has basically reached the standard of "white as jade, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sound as a mouth", which can be regarded as the top porcelain at that time. And this kind of porcelain can't be bought on the market, even if there are not many in the state pastor's mansion, unless something important happens, it will not be taken out, and this situation is naturally clear to Zhurong.

Seeing these porcelain, Zhu Rong knew that today's tea ceremony should be a formal ritual, but it could not be simply perfunctory, so he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

In fact, Bian Yu and the others were also very puzzled, and they didn't know why Ma Yun was so grand. Zhu Qian don't say it, her identity was embarrassing at the beginning, and she didn't even have the opportunity to serve tea, and it was not easy to ask for it later. And Bian Yu and Cai Yan took a bronze cup casually when they served tea, and even when Cai Jue arrived, they didn't use any exquisite porcelain, just a cup for drinking water, but Liu Xin was also present at that time. And although Liu Xin is not here today, he has prepared the top white porcelain, and he has prepared five copies at once, looking at this posture, he will definitely have to let Zhu Rong go to Cai Jue to give Cai Jue a bowl of tea later.

Where did Zhu Rong know the situation when they served tea in the past, he only thought that the rules of the house had always been like this, and this was a major event worth paying attention to, so the hand that was accustomed to wielding a heavy shuttle dart was holding this small porcelain bowl and trembling slightly, and he didn't know what to say when he held it up in front of Ma Yun.

Qiao'er reminded on the side: "Mrs. Rong, you have something to say." ”

Zhu Rong held back for a long time, and then said, "Give my sister tea." ”

Cai Yan laughed out loud and said, "Sister Zhurong, you should say, please ask my sister to use tea." ”

Zhu Rong's face turned red as soon as he "brushed", and he muttered in his heart, and no one taught me, how do I know what to say.

Ma Yun had already taken the white porcelain bowl in her hand with a smile, gently lifted the lid of the bowl, a burst of white mist rose, Ma Yun sniffed and admired: "It's so fragrant." ”

Liu Xin and Ma Yun both like to drink tea, but neither of them can make tea. At this time, tea had not yet become popular, and these teas were made by Ma Yun according to the memories of the tea farmers in Longjing Village who she saw roasting tea when she was traveling in Hangzhou. Although it has been a long time coming, it is now a bit presentable.

Zhu Rong was called up from bed by Zhu Yu, and he didn't have time to eat breakfast, he was hungry, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he smelled this fragrance.

"Sister, you are pregnant now, you should not drink tea." Ma Yun took a sip lightly, reminded Zhu Rong of a few words, and said with a smile, "I drank this bowl of tea, and from now on you will be the official Liu family." Qiao'er, bring me the meeting gift I prepared for my sister. ”

Qiao'er agreed, and held a delicate red lacquer box.
