Chapter 130: Cheap Sister-in-law
Ma Yun smiled bitterly: "Yes, she still has a lot of words, saying that since her brother has sent her to the Liu family, if she is driven out, then she will no longer have the face to see people, and she can only die." ”
Liu Xin couldn't help but blame: "Why were you so careless at the beginning, and many people in the family didn't notice how you acted as a policeman." ”
Ma Yun said unconvinced: "Don't underestimate this girl, she is not very old, but she is quite scheming." She came prepared, hid in the maid's pile and got acquainted, and suddenly said that she was going to make it easier. When a maid took her to the latrine, Cai Mao's wife got up and said goodbye, and no one noticed that there would be one less person by her side. Besides, you can't blame me for this, if you hadn't said it at the beginning, people would have thought of sending your sister to you. ”
Liu Xin hurriedly softened his tone and said, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault." But what to do now, you can also have an idea. ”
Ma Yun glanced at him and said, "You are the head of the family, and now that you are back, whether you will keep her or not, naturally you will take the claim." ”
Liu Xin thought for a while and said, "In that case, I'll let Cai Mao come tomorrow and bring his sister back." ”
Ma Yun hesitated for a moment and asked, "What if she really goes to find a short view?" ”
Liu Xin couldn't help but hesitate, the woman at this time was really uncertain, and muttered: "If you really can't do it, just leave her, anyway, I can afford to raise multiple people." ”
Ma Yun said worriedly: "I haven't thought about letting her stay." If she is really the wife of Liu Biao in history, it will not be simple. It is clearly written in the book that in order to let her biological son compete for the position of the son, she tried to frame Liu Bei again and again, and finally surrendered to Cao Ying, but the mother and son were all killed by Yu Ban. Keeping such a woman by your side, you don't have a little worry? That's why I'm torn between a rock and a hard place. ”
Liu Xin suddenly laughed and said: "How can you fully believe the things recorded in the book, especially what you said, most of them are the content of the romance, and it is even more inaccurate." When I was in Wuling, there was news in the capital that Liu Biao had just given birth to a son, named Liu Cong, and he and Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi were brothers born to the same mother. shows that Liu Cong is not Cai Jue's biological son at all, and from this point of view, the content in the romance is not credible. ”
After coming to Xiangyang, for a period of time, Liu Xin was always unsure of his identity, and even doubted that he was Liu Biao in history. For this reason, Liu Xin specially sent someone to do an investigation, and found that there is really a person Liu Biao, he is now a lieutenant in the Luoyang Northern Army, and he also has a son named Liu Qi. His other circumstances are also basically consistent with Liu Biao in history, which dispelled Liu Xin's doubts. However, the Phantom Spy in charge of the investigation has since included Liu Biao in the focus, and as soon as there is new information about him, he will urgently report to Xiangyang.
Liu Xin continued: "Take the incident where she harmed Liu Bei, Romance is purely looking at people with colored eyes. Liu Bei was a little closer to Liu Biao at that time, so he proposed to let Guan, Zhang, and Zhao Yun guard the key places, Liu Biao was not alert, but it aroused Cai Jue's vigilance. From this point of view, Cai Jue still has some skills. As for her later surrender to Cao Ying until she was killed, it is even less credible. She is only so old now, and she should have been very young when she surrendered to Cao Ying, and she was not bad, and she fell into the hands of Cao Ying, a guy who was obsessed with **, do you think he will be worth killing? ”
Ma Yun sneered and said, "I think you are reluctant!" Okay, if you can't bear it, just keep her by your side, maybe she really has some skills, and maybe she can help you in the future. Hum! ”
Liu Xin couldn't help but laugh and said: "My good wife, what kind of flying vinegar are you eating, she is a little fart, what can she do for me, if you don't make trouble for me, you will be Amitabha." Isn't there no way, you can't just watch her go for a short time. I thought that since her surname is Cai, it would be better for Cai Yan to recognize her as a younger sister, and then slowly persuade her to change her mind and find a good family to marry her. ”
Ma Yun laughed out loud, and a pair of pink fists were pounding Liu Xin like raindrops, and said, "Call you nonsense, who is jealous!" After doing it for a long time, it turned out that you wanted to get a cheap sister-in-law back, and everyone said that the sister-in-law's ass was half that of her brother-in-law, and sure enough, she didn't have any good intentions. ”
Liu Xin was so angry that he slapped her hard on the ass and said, "What kind of broken police, I don't know how to talk about civilization." ”
Ma Yun was in pain, snorted, and said: "What kind of civilization do you talk about as a rascal, hmph, I don't know how to bring some gifts to others when I go far away." ”
Liu Xin patted his head and exclaimed: "Oh, if you don't say that I forgot, this time I copied a good thing at Zhang Shi's house, and I will give you a few at dinner, so that you are satisfied." ”
The dinner party was arranged in the flower hall as usual, and now even Zhu Qian has adapted to everyone sitting around a large round table to eat, and the feeling of being together as a family is good.
Cai Jue was "left behind" in the state pastoral mansion alone, knowing that she was the daughter of a big family after all, and she was young, so it might be a little difficult to take care of herself, so Ma Yun arranged two maids to serve her. It's pitiful to see her alone in the house, and Ma Yun, who is overflowing with sympathy, specially invited her to eat with everyone, so for more than a month, Cai Jue's three meals have also been solved in this flower hall.
She has now gradually adapted to life in the Zhou Pastoral Mansion, which is very different from the Cai family. Let's take the place of sitting, when she was in Cai's house, she always sat on the ground, but there were more kinds of chairs and stools in the governor's mansion, and she was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but slowly found that it was much more comfortable to sit like this. When eating, the middle part of the large round table can also be rotated, and whatever dish you want to eat, it will be in front of you with a slight turn.
As for the diet, Cai Jue was even more surprised. In the past, when she was at home, she ate cooked food that was nothing more than boiled and baked. However, the prefecture is different, and there are various methods for handling ingredients here, such as frying, stir-frying, steaming, and frying. Take the way to eat fish, there are fish soup, braised fish, steamed fish, sweet and sour fish, and fish balls, there are more than ten ways to eat, and each taste has its own characteristics. Cai Jue is very worried, if she goes back one day, I'm afraid she won't be used to eating at home again.
Today is Liu Xin's first dinner after returning from Jiangnan, and the dishes on the table are extraordinarily rich. Today's dinner was cooked by Zhu Qian herself, and these cooking methods were actually learned by her and Liu Xin, and then she gave them to a few dexterous maids, who were usually responsible for three meals a day. These cooking methods cannot be passed on, so the kitchen in the backyard of the state governor's mansion is not allowed to be entered by unrelated people while cooking.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Liu Xin also moved his index finger, the meals he ate outside these days were really not to his taste, and he could finally feast on it today. Liu Xin and Ma Yun came to the top and sat down, and the others also sat down in turn, but saw Cai Jue standing timidly on the side, she didn't know if she could sit at this big round table today, so she could only leave awkwardly and not stay.
Liu Xin beckoned to her, pointed to the empty seat beside Cai Yan, and said, "Miss Cai, come over too, just sit next to the third lady." Yan'er, she is also surnamed Cai, she is your family, you will recognize her as a sister in the future. ”
These days, several of them are familiar with Cai Jue, so Cai Yan has no objection to Liu Xin's request, and said with a smile: "Jue'er, come over quickly." You'll be my sister from now on. ”
Bian Yu and Zhu Qian both covered their mouths and snickered there. Cai Jue's little face turned red again, and he walked over and sat down beside Cai Yan. Liu Xin and Ma Yun don't know that women in this era often have another meaning when they call each other sisters. Just like Bian Yu's idea of beating Liu Xin at the beginning, he and Ma Yun's sisters and sisters were called hot, in Bian Yu's eyes, Liu Xin did this, and he had already agreed to take Cai Jue into the house, and even Cai Jue himself thought so.
Liu Xin and Ma Yun didn't know why, they just thought that Cai Yan was happy because she had an extra sister, while Bian Yu and Zhu Qian were just happy for her because they got along with her these days. Liu Xin and Ma Yun looked at each other and smiled, secretly relieved in their hearts, and slowly persuaded her to change her mind in the future, then everything would be fine. They still think that this is a very good way to deal with it, but how do they know that what others are thinking is something else.
After this month, Cai Jue already feels that he can't leave here. Not only because there are a lot of weird and comfortable furniture to use, but also because there are a lot of delicacies that are not available outside. There are also many novelties here, you can use white and soft paper when you go to the toilet, and the not very large back garden can accommodate so many different styles of scenery, and the stories told by Miss Ruier are even more fascinating.
However, what makes Cai Jue reluctant to leave the most is the harmonious atmosphere here, and the ladies get along well, which is really like a family. It's not like in her house at all, her brother's wives and concubines are fighting openly and secretly all day long, making chickens and dogs jump. And the lord and lady are also the same as the legend, approachable and without the slightest arrogance. At this point, a stone in Cai Jue's heart has finally been put down, although Liu Xin has not made it clear that he wants to include her in the house, but now he can finally live in the state pastoral mansion in the name of justice.
Seeing such a big trouble, Liu Xin solved it effortlessly, and said to the women on the table: "I came back from Lingling this time and brought you a gift, I think you will like it." ”
After speaking, Liu Xin waved at the maid behind him, and the two maids hurriedly carried over a small bronze box. The box was locked, and the key was hidden by Zhang Zhi, and he never found it. However, this little thing is not difficult for Liu Xin, he opened it as early as Lingling and looked at it.
I didn't see what tools he used, but I saw his hands busy on the lock for a while, and with a "snap", the lock popped open. Ma Yun glared at him angrily, is this kind of petty theft worthy of showing off in front of his sisters?
