Cao Hui sighed, presented the hosta to Minchan with both hands, and said, "If Madame likes it, I will give this hairpin to Madame." ”

Diao Chan took the hosta and took a closer look at the light, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she muttered: "Mrs. Guan, this hairpin should be a pair, but I don't know where the other one is?" ”

Cao Hui said with a blank face: "Mrs. Hui, the concubine has only seen this hosta, but she doesn't know that it is a pair, and the other one really doesn't know where it is." ”

Minchan let out an "oh", stuffed the hosta back into Cao Hui's hand, and said with a smile: "A gentleman doesn't take away people's love, although Minchan is just a woman, she can't take away Mrs. Guan's beloved things, Mrs. Guan should take it well." It's not early, Mrs. Guan should rest early, I won't bother. ”

Hearing the word rest, Cao Hui suddenly became nervous, blushed and asked, "Dare to ask Madame, no, I don't know how Lord Liu is going to deal with the slave family?" ”

"Disposition?" Mink Chan Moth frowned slightly, shook her head, and said, "My lord only asked me to come and see you, and he didn't say that he wanted to deal with Mrs. Guan, and asked Mrs. Guan to relax, presumably my lord will not embarrass Mrs. Guan." ”

When Liu Xin asked Minchan to come, she just asked her to take care of Cao Hui, and didn't say too much. However, in Minchan's opinion, Liu Xin should not do anything to Cao Hui. However, after seeing this hosta, Minchan was a little unsure.

Cao Hui heard Minchan's ambiguous words, her mood became nervous, her face became even paler, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, leaned down, and retched again and again.

Minchan was already preparing to leave, but when she saw this, she hurriedly asked, "Where is Mrs. Guan uncomfortable?" Would you like to ask someone to take a look? ”

Cao Hui frowned and said, "Thank you, madam, the concubine has a feeling of vomiting every day, and she will be fine after a while." ”

Yan Rui's heart moved, and whispered a few words in Diao Chan's ear. Mink Chan turned around and said, "Laniel, go and get the medical officer here." ”

The side hall of the Taishou Mansion has been cleaned up, and the low couch and several cases have all been removed, and the tables and chairs carried with the ship have been replaced. Liu Xin has never been accustomed to sitting on the ground, and now even Minchan likes to sit on chairs, and the humid climate in Jiangnan makes it obviously more suitable to use chairs. This became Liu Xin's temporary residence in Guangling, and Liu Xin did not step into the back house of Taishou Mansion.

This side hall is also divided into two entrances, the front hall is where Liu Xin handles official business, and the back hall is where Liu Xin and Minchan live daily.

Minchan returned to the back hall, Liu Xin was not there. So Minchan raised her feet and came to the front hall, only to see Liu Xin holding some files in her hand and reading them carefully. Minchan said crisply: "Master, the concubine is back." ”

Liu Xin looked up and saw that Minchan seemed to be a little sullen, and couldn't help but wonder: "Chan'er, what's wrong with you, is that Cao Shi speaking ill of you?" ”

Minchan had been thinking about it just now, but she didn't want to be seen by Liu Xin, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, it's nothing." ”

Liu Xin put down the file in his hand, grabbed Minchan's slender waist, let her sit on his lap, and said very seriously: "No, you must have something to hide from me." ”

A trace of shame flashed on Diao Chan's face, and after twisting twice, she couldn't break free, so she stopped struggling, snuggled on Liu Xin's shoulder, and said faintly: "That Mrs. Guan has a hosta in her hand, and the slave family seems to have seen it somewhere." ”

Liu Xin gently pinched Minchan's waist, smiled, and said: "I also asked you to pick it at the beginning, but you didn't pick it yourself, but you can't blame others." ”

It turned out that after Liu Xin defeated Dong Zhuo, he brought back a large number of jewelry from Chang'an, all of which were copied from Chang'an Taishifu and Yi Wu, and many of them were from the palace. Liu Xin sent some to the women in the house, and some for them to choose by themselves. Minchan was hindered by her embarrassing identity, although she took a fancy to the pair of hostas, she didn't dare to take it, and only took a few gold and silver ornaments, so she was particularly impressed.

Thinking that the hosta was now in Cao Hui's hands, Diao Chan looked at Liu Xin with wide eyes, and said a little sourly: "It turns out that the slave family is not mistaken, it is really the hosta." The slave family remembers that it was a couple......"

Liu Xin didn't wait for her to finish, then laughed and said: "Okay, don't worry about that pair of hairpins, after you go back, I will pick a better pair for you to ensure that you are satisfied." ”

In fact, Liu Xin carried this pair of hostas with him, not because he had the foresight to expect that these two hostas could come in handy, but because he had "bad intentions". Although Liu Xin's secret search for Er Qiao was known to Ma Yun, and he was also squeezed because of it, he still had a thief's heart. In Liu Xin's mind, when he came to Jiangnan this time, he might have the opportunity to meet Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and the most rare thing about this pair of hostas is that they are exactly the same, which can be used as a meeting gift.

How did Minchan know about these twists and turns in Liu Xin's stomach, she suddenly remembered something, pushed Liu Xin, and said, "Master, don't you hit that Mrs. Guan's idea." She is pregnant, her husband's life and death are unknown, and she is also a poor person. ”

This time when I went to Jiangnan, because I was accompanied by a female dependent, in order to prevent accidents, Liu Xin specially brought two women's medical officers from the medical school. Cao Hui retched again and again just now, and the female medical officer checked her pulse and knew that she was happy.

Liu Xin said with a face full of surprise: "Chan'er, what did you say?" Cao is pregnant? That's great! God help me! ”

Seeing Minchan's strange eyes, Liu Xin hurriedly explained: "Don't think about it, when did I hit her idea?" Let's go and make a man in the back. ”

"Human?" Minchan's face was full of puzzlement.

Liu Xin whispered in her ear: "It's just like Cao's and get a little person out of your belly." ”

Only then did Minchan come to her senses, and said with a shyness on her face: "Master, you are so bad." ”

Guan Yu had been trapped in that small highland for two days and two nights, neither waiting for reinforcements from Xuzhou, nor seeing the surrounding water show a hint of retreat. I didn't sleep for two days and two nights in a row, not to mention the dozens of pro-soldiers, Guan Yu, who was called a martial saint by later generations, was also a little difficult to support.

Just when Guan Yu was about to despair, he suddenly heard his own soldiers shouting: "General, look! ”

Guan Yu perked up his spirits, looked along the side of his soldiers' fingers, and saw that more than a dozen small boats were speeding towards this side, and he was suddenly tired, grabbed the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and shouted: "Prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

These days they are surrounded on high ground, with no ships or food, and even if they try desperately, they can't reach the enemy, and they are about to be trapped here alive. Suddenly, the enemy stepped forward, and everyone's spirits were lifted. But Guan Yu knew in his heart that they had not eaten a grain of rice for two consecutive days, and it was impossible to fight the enemy in this state now, it was just a dying struggle.

The boats came to a halt in the distance, and only one boat continued to paddle slowly. Guan Yu understood that this was a lobbyist sent by the other party to persuade him to surrender, and he couldn't help but clench the big knife in his hand. With Guan Yu's arrogant character, he would never surrender to the enemy, and he had secretly made up his mind that as long as the other party's lobbyist got off the boat, he would split the person into two pieces to show his heart!

The boat approached, and I saw a ** shout on the bow of the boat: "General Guan, Xiaomin is sorry for you." ”

Guan Yu fixed his eyes and saw that the person on the bow of the boat was the shopkeeper Song, and the knife in Guan Yu's hand couldn't help but slowly hang down.

There is no second person on the boat except for Shopkeeper Song, and this boat was rowed by Shopkeeper Song himself, so it is so slow. The shopkeeper Song went ashore, knelt in front of Guan Yu with a "plop", sobbing and crying: "General Guan, Xiaomin is guilty!" Xiaomin really can't endure the punishment, and he recruits everything. ”

Guan Yu had long noticed that the scars on Song's shopkeeper's body were all whip wounds, from the front chest to the back, the skin was open, and it was shocking to see. In Guan Yu's eyes, Shopkeeper Song was just an ordinary businessman, and after being tortured like this, where could he survive, he would naturally confide in where the relief food he got was transported. Guan Yu sighed, helped the shopkeeper Song up, and said, "Mr. Song, they asked you to come, didn't they ask you to come and accompany Guan to die here, right?" ”

Shopkeeper Song reached into his arms, took out a few pieces of paper, presented them to Guan Yu, and said helplessly: "I'm not afraid of General Guan's jokes, Xiaomin didn't dare to come, but he really couldn't stand it, so he had to send two letters for them." ”

Guan Yu snorted, took the two letters from Song's shopkeeper, and said nothing. The letters were dotted with bloodstains oozing from the wound on the chest of the shopkeeper Song, and it could be seen that the wound of the shopkeeper Song had not been bandaged before he was rushed over by those people.

The first letter was written by Cao Hui herself, describing her thoughts about Guan Yu, and her affection was lingering. Guan Yu didn't have much emotion for Cao Hui, but more regarded her as a substitute for Du Xiuniang, just a spare tire, so no matter how sincere Cao Hui said, Guan Yu was not emotional.

Suddenly, Guan Yu's face changed, and there were two lines at the end of the letter that attracted his gaze deeply. Cao Hui wrote there that she was already pregnant with Guan Yu's flesh and blood, and she hoped that Guan Yu would return safely, and she did not want her child to be without a father before she was born.

Guan Yu couldn't help but think of his wife Hu and the young Guan Ping. Back then, Guan Yu had to leave his wife and young son behind and flee because of a life lawsuit, and later followed Liu Bei all the way to exile, and gradually lost the news of the mother and son. Now, Cao Hui is pregnant with his flesh and blood again, and he is going to be a father again. But to make matters worse, Cao Hui fell into the hands of the enemy. Even if Cao Hui can keep his innocence and not be humiliated, he will inevitably be a slave, and his Guan Yu's child will become someone else's slave from the day he was born, such a result is unacceptable to him no matter what!
