Zhu Ding can't remember how many times his daughter ran out. He lives in the special ward of the medical school, and only people of certain status will be arranged to enter, and the environment is elegant and quiet, which is very suitable for patients to recuperate. But these five small courtyards are all such wards, and in addition to the families of other patients, the disciples of the medical school will often pass by here. Sure enough, Zhu Rong walked back disappointed.

I heard Zhu Rong say just now that when Liu Xin was going to visit him today, Zhu Ding didn't have too much hope. When Liu Xin appointed him to be too punctual, Liu Xin only controlled Jingzhou, Qike and Bajun, and now most of Yizhou, Yingchuan in Yuzhou and the entire division are under Liu Xin's control. Although Liu Xin's official position is still Jingzhou Mu, his actual power is no longer the same as that year, does he still care about his barbarian who has become a wasted man?

Seeing his daughter's infatuated appearance, Zhu Ding didn't know what to say. He is a man from the past, and he looks at the problem much more realistically. In Zhu Ding's opinion, if Liu Xin still remembered the promise made three years ago, he would not let Zhu Rong wait in Xiangyang for so long, and Kuai Liang's critically ill official document could make him rush back from Chang'an. Although Zhu Ding is not very optimistic about his daughter's marriage, it does not mean that he opposes his daughter marrying Liu Xin, Zhu Ding even hopes that they can get married as soon as possible, because he has already seen that Liu Xin is determined to be in the world.

Zhu Ding was seriously injured like this, and his prestige among the barbarian tribes who advocated force would definitely be greatly reduced, and his eldest son Zhu Ying really couldn't help up, and the second son Zhu Jie was too young, so it was very likely that the Zhu family would gradually decline. However, if Zhu Rong can marry Liu Xin, things will take a turn for the better. After all, to have such a powerful backer, who in the barbarian tribes would dare not give them face.

Of course, Zhu Ding also understands that his daughter is a bit wishful thinking now. He is not sure if Liu Xin will keep his promise, but if there is really one day, Liu Xin becomes the emperor, what kind of woman does he want, and when the harem is three thousand, how can he look down on a barbarian woman?

It was almost noon, and Liu Xin still didn't come over. Looking at his lost daughter, Zhu Ding was a little distressed, and comforted: "The lord probably has something important to delay." Ah Rong, how long has it been since you had dinner with Daddy? Why don't you eat here with Daddy today? ”

Zhu Rong saw Zhu Ding's empty right arm, his nose was sore, he nodded, and said, "Okay, Daddy, my daughter will feed you." ”

Zhu Ding wanted to divert his daughter's attention, but he didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Yes, when Daddy fed you when I was a child, it's time for you to feed Daddy now." ”

Zhu Rong picked up a small white porcelain soup spoon and fed it to his father spoonful by spoonful, and the ward was filled with a warm atmosphere. At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door. Zhu Rong's body paused obviously, but he didn't get up as usual, it was lunch time, how could Liu Xin come over at this time?

As soon as she had this thought, she heard someone outside the door say, "Lord Zhu, it's dinner, it seems that Liu is not lucky." ”

Zhu Rong was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and hurriedly turned his head, but heard Zhu Ding's "ouch", and said with a grin: "Girl, you should be slow, you will die of iron." ”

"Hahahaha......" With a burst of hearty laughter, Liu Xin slowly paced into the ward, clasped his hands into fists, and said in a loud voice, "Liu came abruptly and disturbed your lunch, don't blame, don't blame." ”

"No blame, no blame. I haven't eaten yet, I'm feeding Daddy. Without waiting for Zhu Ding to speak, Zhu Rong had already preemptively said, "Brother, I thought you couldn't come." ”

Liu Xin said embarrassedly: "How can you break your promise to do good things?" It's just that I was busy with official business in the morning, and I was delayed for a while. Zhu Taishou, how are you feeling lately? ”

"The lord has every opportunity, and he has to take time out of his busy schedule to visit his subordinates, and his subordinates ......" Zhu Ding subconsciously wanted to hug his fist, but found that he only had one hand left, his face was gloomy, and he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's just that my subordinates are already a waste person from now on, and they can no longer serve the lord." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Zhu Taishou said what he said, I think that Sima Qian is disabled and still writes the huge work of "Historical Records". Zhu Taishou is no more than missing an arm, although he can't go into battle to kill the enemy, what is the obstacle to handling government affairs. ”

At that time, the selection of officials was not only based on their background, but also on the appearance of the person, and it was almost difficult for him to hold an important position, let alone a disabled body. Listening to the meaning of Liu Xin's words, he can continue to serve as a taishou, and I wish him a burst of secret joy.

The barbarian man had a heroic temperament, and Zhu Ding patted his thigh with his sound left hand, and said loudly: "The lord is right, what is this little injury!" Ah Rong, put down the meal, and Daddy eats by himself. If you rely on people to feed you, then it's really useless. ”

Liu Xin's thinking has gradually been changed by this era, he understands that the desire for "equality for all" is good, but the reality is often very helpless, at all levels of society, there will always be some people who enjoy privileges. These special wards were specially set up for Kuai Liang's treatment and recuperation after he fell ill, and they can also be regarded as the products of serving these privileged classes.

Seeing Zhu Ding's arrogant face, Liu Xin also pulled a chair casually, sat down at the head of Zhu Ding's bed, and looked around. The ward is spacious and bright, although the furnishings inside are not luxurious, but simple and practical, and there are two pretty little maids standing aside.

Liu Xin had already listened to Zhang Ji's brief introduction when he came in, the maids in the special ward were mainly engaged in the work of caring for patients, and they were all selected from the official slaves, and their faces were beautiful and mild-tempered. Although it is hard and dirty work to nurse the sick, once these maids are selected, they will be freed from slavery, and they will be good people in the future, and they can marry openly. Not only that, but they can also learn some medical knowledge here, especially in gynecology and obstetrics, and there is no problem for them to become midwives in the future.

In addition to taking care of Zhuding's diet and daily life, these two maids also helped him do some rehabilitation training according to Hua Tuo's explanation, especially the use of his left hand. This kind of training has been going on for two days, so Zhu Ding doesn't have much of a problem eating with his left hand, but he is not used to it yet, and it is inevitable that he will splash. Zhu Rong saw his father like this, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"I'm in a hurry today, I haven't had time to eat lunch yet, and I shouldn't have eaten because of Miss Zhu's appearance, so let's just have lunch here today." Liu Xin knew that Zhu Rong was sad about his father's injury, and as he spoke, he beckoned to the two maids and said, "Go to the kitchen and say something, and ask them to bring some food." ”

Thinking of Zhu Rong's gobbling up at the dinner table last night, Liu Xin added: "Remember to prepare more meals, I eat quite a lot." ”

Zhu Rong was a little stunned, she remembered that Liu Xin's meal last night was very limited, and she was not even as good as an ordinary barbarian man. Even if she understands that Liu Xin is like this, it is obviously to let her be full, and she is afraid that others will laugh at her for being a pot-bellied king, so she deliberately takes it on herself.

Thinking about this clearly, Zhu Rong's heart was warm, and he was about to say thank you, but he heard Zhu Ding say: "Lord, you also said just now that you can't break your promises about good things." I don't know what the lord said three years ago counts? ”

"Daddy! You ......" Zhu Rong snorted at Zhu Ding, blushing with shame, and quickly lowered his head. In fact, she was so happy that Zhu Ding took the initiative to bring up this topic.

Zhu Rong can let go again, she is a woman after all, but she is still embarrassed to say some things by herself, but she didn't expect Liu Xin to pretend to be stupid, and since she saw her yesterday, she didn't mention anything about three years ago. Zhu Rong wanted to take the initiative to mention it several times, but finally couldn't open her mouth, and now that Zhu Ding has made her words clear, how can she be unhappy.

Liu Xin was caught off guard, and said: "Lord Zhu, you are seriously injured, I have discussed it with Miss Zhu, and I will send troops to avenge you in a few days, and this matter will be discussed after the revenge is avenged." ”

Zhu Ding deliberately raised his body, so that Liu Xin could see his empty right arm, restrained his smile, and said, "Lord, my subordinates thought that it was better to discuss the results of this matter earlier." ”

Zhu Rong saw that his words were a little blunt, and he was worried about provoking Liu Xin's unhappiness, so he hurriedly pushed Zhu Ding, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, what ......are you doing in such a hurry?"

Zhu Ding interrupted her unceremoniously and said in a deep voice: "Ah Rong, have you forgotten the rules of our Zhu family?" ”

Hearing the "rules of the Zhu family", Zhu Rong's face was also difficult to look at, and he turned his head to look at Liu Xin, expecting him to nod.

Liu Xin was a little inexplicable, what is the relationship between the bet he made with Zhu Rong three years ago and the rules of the Zhu family, these barbarians are really strange, they knew that it would be like this, they should have decisively refused back then, maybe Meng Shu would not have listened to Liu Dan's words and rebelled.

Zhu Ding saw that Liu Xin wanted to speak and stopped, sighed, and said, "Lord, you also saw it, Ah Rong is infatuated with you. Originally, the rules of the Zhu family should not be told to outsiders, but now, I can't take care of it anymore......"

It is not without reason that the Zhu family can become the number one surname among the barbarian tribes. The barbarians worship the god of fire, and the Zhu family is rumored to be the descendant of the god of fire, this is because of this special identity, the Zhu family will have a high reputation among the barbarians. In order to ensure the prestige of the Zhu family patriarch among the various tribes of the barbarians, the Zhu family has established a strict rule since ancient times, no one can do anything to harm the Zhu family patriarch, otherwise they will be burned at the stake.

Of course, this rule can only be effective within the Zhu family, and it cannot prevent outsiders from harming the head of the Zhu family, so the Zhu family has also formulated another rule on this basis.
