Seeing Liu Xin's puzzled face, Diao Chan sighed faintly and said, "The master must also know that his father-in-law adopted the slave family for another purpose." ”

Liu Xin naturally understood Wang Yun's intention to raise these girls, Diao Chan was going to become his woman soon, he would never deceive his own woman, and there was no need to pretend to be ignorant, so he nodded very seriously.

Minchan was wearing a veil, and although Liu Xin couldn't see the changes on her face clearly, she could see that the roots of her ears were slowly turning red, obviously knowing Wang Yun's purpose for raising these girls, which made her feel ashamed.

I only heard Minchan continue: "No matter what, the father-in-law has the grace of nurturing the slave family, and it is natural for the slave family to repay him. Now, the master can entrust him with an important position, and the slave family's wish has been fulfilled, and there will be no intersection with him again. ”

Liu Xin listened to Minchan's decision, and already understood what she meant, that is, she wanted to reassure herself that she would never be bewitched by Wang Yun again because of the father-daughter relationship with Wang Yun, and she would do anything unfavorable to Liu Xin. As soon as Liu Xin raised his foot, he had already returned to the carriage, waved his hand, and ordered: "Turn around and go home!" ”

Minchan looked stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Master, aren't you going to see my father-in-law?" ”

Liu Xin bowed his head and said: "I came here to accompany you, you don't go in, what am I going to do when I go in?" It's just announcing an appointment, so why do I have to do it myself, I'll just let Lord Tian come when I go back. ”

Tian Feng is the secretary of the ministry, and he is responsible for the appointment of officials, even if Liu Xin announced the appointment of him as the deputy of Xiangyang Academy in front of Wang Yun today, Tian Feng still needs to issue a formal document to make a number.

A few days ago, he met Wang Yun on the street of Xiangyang, and Liu Xin knew that he had no heart to resist. However, people will always change, if Liu Xin is too enthusiastic about Wang Yun and makes him complacent, maybe one day he will come out with some demon moth. Liu Xin came here in person today, completely to reassure Minchan, and now that Minchan has figured it out, there is no need for him to give Wang Yun such a big face.

Mink Chan was still worried that Liu Xin would change her mind and no longer give Wang Yun an official position, but after listening to Liu Xin's words, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, helped Liu Xin sit down, and re-untied the veil covering her face, revealing the pretty face that captivated the country and the city.

Liu Xin, who is accustomed to seeing the world, has considerable immunity to beautiful women, and he is already very familiar with Minchan's face, but the moment Minchan takes off the veil, Liu Xin still has a feeling of amazement. Minchan's face is really a bit of a disaster for the country and the people, and Liu Xin acquiesced to her veiling in front of people.

is also very familiar with Minchan's beauty and Wang Yun. Since meeting Liu Xin on the street that day, Wang Yun has been staying at home quietly and has not gone anywhere. said it was quiet, but in fact it was not quiet at all, he always ran to the back of the courtyard gate from time to time to look out, looking forward to Liu Xin and Minchan being able to arrive early.

The days of waiting are always very torturous, and finally saw a carriage parked outside the door, and at the curtain of the carriage, it was Liu Xin who got off the car, and Wang Yun couldn't help but feel a burst of joy. It stands to reason that at this time, Wang Yun should quickly open the courtyard door and welcome Liu Xin and his party into the courtyard. Wang Yun was indeed ready to do this, but the moment his hand touched the knocker, he suddenly stopped.

Wang Yun believes that with Minchan's beauty, Liu Xin will definitely be able to be firmly chained, and Liu Xin can come to the door in person, naturally for Minchan's sake, which also shows that Minchan still remembers his father-in-law in her heart. Thinking of this, Wang Yun couldn't help but be reserved, he wanted to stand behind the door and wait, waiting for Liu Xin to take the initiative to knock on the door. As a result, this waiting, not only did not wait for Liu Xin to come forward and knock on the door, but saw Liu Xin turn around and return to the carriage.

When Wang Yun came back to his senses and hurriedly opened the door and chased out, there was still no trace of the carriage. Wang Yun passed another day in anxiety, and finally ushered in Liu Xin's appointment. For this appointment, Wang Yun felt like a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it was a pity to abandon it. However, he couldn't refuse, after all, the courtyard of the academy was Cai Yong. Cai Yong was framed by eunuchs in Liu Hong's time and was exiled for many years. However, Cai Yong is a well-deserved university scholar, a great calligrapher, a great writer, and a great musician, and his fame far exceeds that of Wang Yun, who once lived in the third duke. Not only in terms of fame, but even in terms of the close relationship with Liu Xin, Minchan is not as good as Cai Yan, Cai Yan has already given birth to two sons and a daughter for Liu Xin, and the relationship between Minchan and Liu Xin is not very clear.

But Wang Yun is different from Cai Yong, he is not willing to be a gentleman who only teaches and educates, but has a very strong desire for power. Especially after Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao successively controlled the imperial court, his thirst for power reached its peak. However, after many years of immersion in officialdom, Wang Yun knows how to hide himself very well, he just regretted it secretly at home for a while, then packed up his mood and went to Xiangyang Academy to report for his post with "joy" on his face. He still has a glimmer of hope that as long as Diao Chan can be favored in front of Liu Xin, he will have a chance to turn over, but he doesn't know that Diao Chan has made up her mind to draw a line with him from now on.

In fact, she was also nervous and uneasy, she didn't know how Ma Yun would react after Liu Xin told Ma Yun about this matter at night. Although the women of that era had no status, but after many years in the state pastor's mansion, Minchan knew very well that Ma Yun could be said to be the same in many things, and even the people like Fu Zhu and Dian Wei admired her so much that they would never disobey her orders. If Ma Yun publicly objected, I believe Liu Xin would also respect her opinion.

Minchan, who couldn't sleep, got up early, sat down in front of the bronze mirror and got dressed. It was an hour, and the long black hair like a waterfall hung down to her waist, and she combed it over and over again, but she couldn't pull a favorite bun.

Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and a little girl with a bun and beautiful eyebrows walked in, and said with a smile: "Miss Diaochan, Madame is invited." ”

Diao Chan looked up and recognized that it was Guo Zhao, the little maid beside Ma Yun, and hurriedly took a silver hairpin and put it on her head, and asked, "Dare to ask Miss Zhao'er, what are your orders when Mrs. Diao Chan calls Diao Chan to go?" ”

Although Guo Zhao is young, he is smart and clever, and he has experienced quite a lot of ups and downs, and he has his own set of skills to observe words and feelings, just a light glance, he found that there seemed to be a faint sorrow between Minchan's eyebrows, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, girl, it's not a bad thing in short, the slave maid is here here first to say hello." ”

When Diao Chan heard Guo Zhao say this, she really smiled, hurriedly straightened her clothes, and followed Guo Zhao to Ma Yun's courtyard.

Guo Zhao tilted his little head from time to time, secretly looked at Minchan, and couldn't help but say: "Miss Minchan, you are so good-looking, even better than the ladies." ”

Minchan's heart tightened, although she grew up in Wang Yun's mansion since she was a child, and she didn't experience too much sophistication, but from the stories told by Wang Yun, she also knew that it was common for women in the mansion to compete for favor with each other, if Guo Zhao's words reached the ears of the ladies, then she might not have a good time in the future.

When Minchan was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to answer Guo Zhao, she saw a tiger-headed boy hurrying across from them with a cloth bag on his back. The boy is seven or eight points similar to Liu Xin between his eyebrows, and it is Liu Yu.

Guo Zhao waited beside Ma Yun, and Liu Yu was naturally quite familiar with her. His age is the most naughty time, when he saw Guo Zhao coming over, he stopped and opened his arms to stop in front, but at a glance he saw Diao Chan behind Guo Zhao, and hurriedly made a grimace, acting like a good baby, and shouted sweetly: "Qi Niang is early!" ”

Minchan's face suddenly turned red, and when she was at a loss, the little Liu Yu opened her mouth and said, "Goodbye Qiniang, Yu'er went to school." ”

Guo Zhao saw Liu Yu walking away, covered his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "This eldest young master is the most naughty, if it weren't for the girl here, the slave and maid would have to be teased by him again." ”

When Minchan looked up again, Liu Yu had already run away. However, Liu Yu called her Qi Niang, although it made her ashamed and ashamed, but it also made her heart settle down a lot, Liu Yuken called her like this, at least it shows that Ma Yun does not reject her. Minchan quickly calmed down and said, "Zhao'er, let's go quickly, don't let Mrs. wait for a long time." ”

Liu Xin talked to Ma Yun about this last night. At that time, Liu Yu and Ma Fan were reading books on the side, although their eyes fell on the books in their hands, they kept listening to their father's conversation with their little ears pricked up, until they were pulled to the side room by Qiao'er to rest, the two of them did not stop, lying in the quilt and muttering for a long time, but they overslept when they got up today, and almost missed the time to go to school.

Ma Yun did not object to Liu Xin's desire to take Minchan as a concubine, and her thinking has changed a lot over the years. This era is different from her original era, there is no marriage law here, and taking a concubine is a legal and reasonable thing, if she refuses Liu Xin's concubine, she will seem a little different and will be misunderstood as a jealous woman. What's more, now that the family has a big business, she can't manage it alone, and she really needs a few intimate helpers. Like now, Bian Yu is in charge of the maids and servants in the family, Cai Yan is in charge of the children's education, Zhu Qian is in charge of the housework, Cai Yan is in charge of several shops, Zhu Rong has trained a group of female guards, and the entire state pastoral mansion is in order, but there is nothing wrong with it.

Although Diao Chan is beautiful, Ma Yun is not worried that she will threaten her status. Hearing that Liu Xin had decided to take Minchan as a concubine, Ma Yun instead had a relaxed feeling, that is, the last place in the three chapters of her and the covenant was about to run out, and she no longer had to worry about Liu Xin messing with flowers and grass outside. Because Ma Yun knows Liu Xin's character very well, he either doesn't touch those flowers and plants, as long as he does, he will try his best to give those flowers and plants a name. Now that he has come, he has also cut off Liu Xin's back road.

After talking about Minchan, and seeing that the two children had been taken out by Qiao'er, Liu Xin inevitably wanted to tell Ma Yun about Wang Yun's arrangements and his own considerations, Ma Yun laughed unconsciously and said, "You, it's really unfounded!" ”
