Chapter 681: Wronged
"Forget it, now there are many people who have criticized Liu to the point of being incomplete, and if Liu thinks about it again, it will inevitably cause civil strife. The people of Jing, Yi, Yang, Liang, and Sili Prefectures have finally lived a stable life, and they can't afford to be in chaos! Liu Xin waved his hand, sighed, and said, "The war in the north, Liu is also very distressed. Outside of Qiao, please rest assured that those people who fled over, Liu will definitely not sit idly by. ”
Thinking that he had listened to You Heng's rhetoric and had doubted Liu Xin's virtue, Qiao Xuan couldn't help but feel ashamed, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Liu, Qiao is not talented, there are still some people in Lujiang, and after the grass people return to Lujiang, they will definitely ......."
Liu Xin knew that Qiao Xuan was a person who admitted death, and since he thought that the position of the emperor should be the most suitable for Liu Xin to sit in, he would not change it easily. Liu Xin naturally didn't need him to swear loyalty anymore, so he interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this." Outside Qiao, since you and I are relatives, your family has come from afar, and Liu has to do his best to make friends with the place. There is nothing else in Xiangyang City, but there are many interesting places, so it is better to ask Qiao to be outside Xiangyang for a few days, and all the expenses will be borne by Liu. ”
Qiao Xuan couldn't wait to fly back to Lujiang at this time, first scolded You Heng, and then organized the squires of the Lujiang clan to jointly write a letter to persuade Liu Xin to ascend the throne. Hearing that Liu Xin wanted to keep him in Xiangyang for a few more days, Qiao Xuan hurriedly excused himself and said: "Lord Liu is busy with official business, and there are many opportunities every day, how dare the grass people disturb." ”
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Outside Qiao, since you are here to visit relatives, how can you go back as soon as you meet." Even if Liu has something that doesn't live with you, then you have to ask your wife and the children's opinions, right? ”
Qiao Xuan blushed, and replied repeatedly: "Yes, yes, or ask them first." ”
At this time, the backyard of the governor's mansion was very lively, bursting with laughter from time to time. The two daughters of Qiao Xuan's family are still young, but they are already rare beauty embryos, especially the eyes of these two little girls, looking forward to wandering, although they are still at an age that does not understand the amorous feelings, they seem to be able to hook the soul, if they grow up in the future, I don't know how many men will be fascinated.
Because of the story of crossing the "Second Bridge", and listening to Minchan after returning from Lujiang, she said that she recognized the Qiao sisters as righteous daughters, Bian Yu, Cai Yan and others have long wanted to see Qiao Liang and Qiao Wan with their own eyes. Now that these two little beauties are in front of them, they all immediately surrounded, and they are naturally overjoyed.
Of course, Ma Yun knows that these two girls are the famous Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao in history, but now that Er Qiao has been regarded as a righteous daughter by Minchan, she naturally doesn't have to worry about what Liu Xin will do to them. In addition, Ma Yun didn't know when she suddenly moved her mind and wanted to add a daughter. Now when I see such two little beauties, I like them the most, so I simply pull one with one hand, and let them call themselves godmothers.
Mrs. Qiao now knows that Diao Chan is just Liu Xin's concubine, and the beautiful woman with a big belly in front of her is a genuine state pastor, so she naturally has a heart, so Qiao Liang and Qiao Wan sisters have another godmother.
At this time, Guo Zhao walked over, holding a lacquer plate in his hand, which was full of gold, silver and jewelry from the Western Regions. Ma Yun said to Mrs. Qiao: "You and I will be in-laws in the future, so let's give these jewels to the children as a meeting gift." ”
Hearing the words "in-laws", Mrs. Qiao's mother and daughter were not surprised, but Guo Zhaoxiao, who was holding the lacquer plate, blushed slightly. Half a year ago, Liu Xin had already agreed with Huang Chengyan on the relationship between Liu Yu and Huang Yueying, just to avoid attracting the attention of Liu Bei, Pang Degong, Sima Hui and others, and the matter was not made public. However, as a personal maid waiting by Ma Yun's side, Guo Zhao is still clear.
Although Guo Zhao is young, she has experienced ups and downs since she was a child, and her mind is more mature than that of girls who are a few years older than her, plus she often plays with Liu Yu and Huang Yueying, so she has a bit of that meaning. Although she is also a famous family, her family has a sudden change, and now her status is low, these thoughts can only be buried in her heart, but she dare not say it.
She was ordered by Ma Yun just now, but she took some jewelry in the room, and she didn't hear that Ma Yun recognized the two righteous daughters, so she only thought that the in-laws that Ma Yun said were for which young master chose a daughter-in-law. And seeing that the two girls snuggled in Ma Yun's arms are about the same age as Liu Yu, maybe they are talking about Liu Yu's relatives, so they are a little unhappy.
Guo Zhao is a child after all, although she tries her best to hide it, how can she hide it from Ma Yun's eyes. However, although Ma Yun could see that Guo Zhao seemed to have some thoughts, she didn't think about it in that direction, but just quipped: "Zhao'er, you always have to compete with Yueying on weekdays, but now when you meet the Qiao sisters, you and Yueying will be compared." ”
Mrs. Qiao saw that Guo Zhao was dressed gorgeously, not like the outfit of an ordinary maid, and hurriedly praised: "Miss is naturally beautiful, and she will definitely be a great beauty in the future." ”
Guo Zhao couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Mrs. Qiao's words are serious, the slave maid is just a maid in the house, not a young lady." ”
Ma Yun didn't expect Guo Zhao, who was usually lively and cheerful, to become so sensitive today, and couldn't help but pull her in front of her, and said angrily: "You stupid girl, since you arrived at home, Mrs. Ben has never treated you as her own child, but she has never treated you badly." Okay, just let me think you're a righteous girl. ”
Guo Zhao waved his hand in a panic and said, "The slave is from a humble background, so I don't dare to think about it. ”
Mrs. Qiao is much more sleek and sophisticated than Qiao Xuan, she can see that Ma Yun's love for this little girl is from the bottom of her heart, and she knows that it is sometimes more important to have a good relationship with the people around these big people than to have a good relationship with the big people. Mrs. Qiao couldn't help laughing and said: "Little girl, why don't I accept you as a righteous daughter, although the Qiao family is not a big family, it is also a family of eunuchs." ”
Qiao Xuan also used to be a Taishou, and later met Liu Hong who openly sold his official position, and he was upright and unwilling to be contaminated with copper stench, so he hung up his crown and left. Therefore, although Qiao Xuan is now unofficial and has no position, Mrs. Qiao cannot be wrong when she says that the Qiao family is the family of eunuchs.
Although Guo Zhao is young, she is quite scheming, she didn't dare to agree immediately, but secretly looked at Ma Yun.
Ma Yun didn't understand why Guo Zhao was reluctant to recognize herself as her godmother, but looking at what she meant, she was willing to recognize Mrs. Qiao as her godmother, and couldn't help laughing: "Zhao'er, thank you Mrs. Qiao." ”
Guo Zhao was overjoyed, and bowed to Mrs. Qiao and said, "My daughter meets her godmother." ”
Today, when I went out on an outing, Liu Yu, Ma Fan, Liu Pi, and Liu Jun, a few slightly older children, all went to school in the academy and were not with Ma Yun. The few young children who remained in the house were only playing by themselves, not paying attention to what their mother was talking about. Only Liu Bang sat alone in the corner, constantly aiming his eyes at Qiao Liang and Qiao Wan sisters.
Outsiders all know that Liu Bang is the "eldest son" of Liu Xin and Ma Yun, Liu Xin's family went to the suburbs, Liu Yu and they couldn't make it because they went to school, and Liu Bang sat at home, if he didn't take him with him, he would inevitably fall into the mouth again. Therefore, Liu Bang is also among these outings today.
In fact, Liu Bang is not very old, he is only thirteen years old, but although Liu Bang does not have much common sense, he has a lot of experience, especially when he was under house arrest in Lujiang, he has seen many dark things, although he has not developed physically, he has begun to mature psychologically. Of course, at Liu Bang's age, his eyes would naturally only stare at a little girl who was about the same age as him or even younger.
Liu Bang himself is the Hou Ye, and Liu Xin does not restrict his movements except for sending a team of personal guards to protect his safety. It was precisely for this reason that he had the opportunity to visit Sima Hui and Pang Degong with Liu Bei. But these people are old men, and there are no young and beautiful ladies in the family. And in ordinary big families, the family education is very strict, and most of those daughters are shrunk in the boudoir, how can Liu Bang meet them?
There are many beautiful little girls in the state pastor's mansion, but they are all Liu Bang's "own sisters", and Liu Bang's psychology is dark and he will not fight their ideas. The only two beautiful girls I often see are Huang Yueying and Guo Zhao.
Liu Bang actually doesn't know how to appreciate women. Guo Zhao is just a maid, and he still disdains contact. And Guo Zhao is the person next to Ma Yun, and he doesn't dare to upset Ma Yun because of this. However, Liu Bang met Huang Yueying a few times in the state governor's mansion, and he also tried to talk to him, but Huang Yueying ignored him. Once, Liu Bang insisted on blocking Huang Yueying's way, but he annoyed Liu Yu, took a punch and kick, and was ordered by Ma Yun to think about it behind closed doors for a month, and never dared to provoke Huang Yueying again.
Today, Liu Bang returned from his trip, and after returning to the State Pastoral Mansion, he should say goodbye to Liu Xin and Ma Yun, and then return to his Changle Hou Mansion. It's just that the sudden appearance of Qiao Xuan's family disrupted the original arrangement, and Liu Xin and Ma Yun couldn't drive Liu Bang back immediately, so they had to bring him into the house as well. It didn't matter if he went to the house this time, but Liu Bang saw two stunning little girls, and those little eyes couldn't help but be confused.
However, looking at it, with Ma Yun sitting there, Liu Bang's heart was still very worried, and he naturally didn't dare to make any moves.
In fact, although Mrs. Qiao has been talking and laughing with Ma Yun and them, her eyes are also quietly observing in the house. She can see it more clearly than Qiao Xuan, and sooner or later this world will be Liu Xin's. The relationship between the Qiao family and the Liu family now belongs to the godparents' family, but it is far less close than the children's family. Therefore, Mrs. Qiao's eyes have been observing several boys of the Liu family, but unfortunately, these boys are not more than seven or eight years old, only one is a little older, but he was born short and fat, if he let his daughter marry him, it would be too aggrieved.
