Chapter 87: I'll Carry the Black Cauldron

Bian Yu hummed softly: "Kiss my baby, I will cross the mountains to find the missing sun, to find the missing moon......"

Liu Xin couldn't help but ask, "Yu'er, how did you sing this song?" ”

Bian Yu suddenly heard Liu Xin's voice, was startled, opened his eyes, and said in surprise: "Master! ”

Seeing that she wanted to get up, Liu Xin gently pressed her and said with concern: "You lie down, don't get up, don't mess with your hair." ”

Bian Yu smiled gratefully at Liu Xin and said, "Master, this song was taught to me by my wife, and the tune is a little strange, but it's quite good." ”

Since Bian Yu followed Liu Xin, she no longer refused to call Ma Yun Sister Yun, and insisted on calling her Mrs. respectfully. As for Liu Xin asking her to call her husband, she also refused to live or die. Liu Xin and Ma Yun knew that she was talking about the difference between dignity and inferiority, and persuaded her several times, but they couldn't resist her, so they had to let her go.

In fact, Liu Xin had already guessed that this was taught to her by Ma Yun, otherwise Bian Yu would have become a traverser. It's just that Liu Xin didn't expect Bian Yu to sing pop songs so beautifully, and couldn't help but boast: "That's my Yu'er who sings well, come, reward you with an orange." ”

Bian Yu swallowed the orange that Liu Xin stuffed into her mouth, her face flushed slightly, and she said shyly: "Master, you and Mrs. are too good to me." My wife taught me a lot of songs, and she said that singing often is good for the fetus in the womb. Shall I sing another song to you? ”

Liu Xin saw her want to get up again, and said with a smile: "We are a family, and it is right to be good to you." You just lie down and hum a few words, don't get tired. ”

Bian Yu refused to listen to him this time and insisted on standing up. Liu Xin had to help her hold the long hair, slowly help her up, and as soon as her hand was loosened, Bian Yu's long hair fell down like a waterfall and hung down to her waist.

Liu Xin and Ma Yun originally had short hair, and they had been accumulating it for more than two years before they draped it under their shoulders. Bian Yu and Zhu Qian both have long hair since childhood, usually they pull their hair into a bun, Liu Xin is the first time to see Bian Yu standing up straight, with waist-length hair, I only feel amazing, I can't help but grope up and down, and said: "Yu'er, you are so beautiful." ”

Bian Yu's body twisted slightly, and then leaned on his arms and sang: "Just because I looked at you in the crowd one more time, I never forgot your face, and dreamed of seeing each other again one day...... by chance."

After singing the song, Liu Xin couldn't help but be stunned, and even forgot to cheer. Bian Yu's voice is soft, has a wide vocal range, and has good sound quality, it is simply a natural sound, if it is placed in the future generations, it is definitely the level of the queen level. Although Ma Yun often hums pop songs, compared with Bian Yu, that is the difference between an entry-level amateur singer and a top professional singer.

Seeing that Liu Xin was silent, Bian Yu turned his head and asked, "Master, how is the slave family singing?" ”

Liu Xin came back to his senses and said, "I listened to your song, and I really want to linger, and I don't know the taste of meat." ”

Bian Yu covered his mouth and smiled: "Master, how can it be so exaggerated." By the way, sir, how did you have time to come here today? ”

Liu Xin then remembered that he had something important to come over today, and remembered that Zhu Qian had such a big misunderstanding last night, so he pulled something else first and said, "Yu'er, I'm going to go on a long trip, and I'll say goodbye to you first." ”

Bian Yu asked strangely, "Master, where are you going?" ”

Liu Xin said: "I want to go to Changsha. ”

Bian Yu asked puzzledly: "It's about to be the New Year, what are you doing in Changsha at this time, master?" ”

Liu Xin patiently explained: "Changsha is very important, so Tian Feng, Xu Chu, and Huang Zhong can't go back to Xiangyang for the New Year, and their families stay in Xiangyang for their children's education." I would like to take this trip before the Spring Festival to see them and escort their families over to reunite with them. ”

Bian Yu nodded and said, "So that's the case." ”

Liu Xin continued: "Yu'er, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are more things in the house, Yun'er and you are both pregnant, and Qian'er is also pregnant now, you don't have to work too hard, everything will be dealt with when I come back, I won't stay outside for too long." In addition, I would like to ask you if there is a way to prevent contraception, that is, a way not to conceive a child. ”

Bian Yu's originally flushed face suddenly turned pale.

Liu Xin had Zhu Qian's experience from the past, and hurriedly explained: "Yu'er, don't get me wrong, you can have as many children as you want, I didn't find this method for you, but for other people." ”

Bian Yu listened to his explanation, but he didn't have the slightest sense of joy, crystal tears couldn't help rolling in his eyes, and he said gloomily: "Master, do you look down on the slave family and dislike the slave family's origin." ”

Liu Xin understood what she meant, and hurriedly comforted: "Yu'er, where do you want to go." I like it too late, how can I look down on you. Although you were born in a green building, you are not stained by sludge, which is admirable. It's just that this method is very important to me, so I have to remind you of your sad past, you won't blame me, right? ”

Bian Yu couldn't hold back the tears and didn't let the tears fall, but a little heart still kept jumping, and after a while, he said: "Master, there are some ways among our Qinglou sisters to prevent pregnancy with children, although the slave family has not tried, it should be effective, I will write it down in a while." ”

When Liu Xin heard that she really had a way, she immediately became excited and said, "It's better for my Yu'er, this thing has been done, you are a great achievement." ”

I don't have to worry about it, Bian Yu couldn't help but gossip again, and asked, "Master, who do you want this recipe for?" ”

Liu Xin said: "This, you don't have to inquire about this, remember to keep it secret!" ”

Bian Yu remembered that time in the garden, he was almost forcibly occupied by him, and couldn't help but guess wildly, it must be that he didn't control it outside and did something that shouldn't be, and hurriedly said: "These recipes must be used in advance to be effective, if you use them afterwards, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

Liu Xin saw that Bian Yu's clear eyes were full of suspicion, and couldn't help but think of Zhu Qian's strange eyes last night, and finally understood that they all wanted to be crooked. But the method of contraception was found for Ma Yun, and this matter cannot be said to be killed. Liu Xin sighed secretly, come on, I'll carry this black cauldron, so he changed the topic and said, "Yu'er, you sang so well just now, can you sing another song for me?" ”

Bian Yu is very happy now, the haze just now has long been swept away, not only because he praised Liu Xin for singing well, but more importantly, he just said that he likes himself! Although Liu Xin has always been good to himself, but he likes himself for the first time, the joy in his heart finally overcame the gossip, Bian Yu's face was filled with a happy smile, and he sang: "Sweet honey, you smile sweetly, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze......"

Liu Xin wanted to go to Changsha before the Spring Festival, although Bian Yu and Zhu Qian were a little reluctant, they didn't dare to have any objections. Ma Yun knows Liu Xin's ambitions, and her husband is willing to be motivated, and she is also happy to see it, so naturally she will not have any opinions. What's more, like Liu Xin, she knows that Sun Wu, one of the forces of the Three Kingdoms, started in Changsha, and also understands Changsha's special status in Jingzhou.

Although there was no problem on Liu Xin's family's side, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Fu Zhu and others all dissuaded Liu Xin from giving up this trip. The reason for Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue is that Liu Xin, as the lord of Jingzhou, should sit in Xiangyang and not stay away. The main reason for frustration was Liu Xin's safety, after all, Jingzhou was not completely in their hands now.

Liu Xin knew in his heart that Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue hoped that they would stay in Xiangyang forever, just like the emperor could not leave the palace casually. But Liu Xin doesn't want to be a general and a handsome in Chinese chess, he only moves in so many squares, he wants to be the king of chess, and he can dominate the world like a warrior. As for the worries of frustration, Liu Xin had already thought of it, and he was going to Changsha by water.

Although Jingzhou's naval army was stationed in Jiangxia, it was actually in Liu Xin's hands. Liu Xin had already sent Zhang Yun to Jiangling to build a new water village, and the original plan was to transfer the water army to Jiangling to facilitate control and supply, but considering that the water army was stationed in Jiangxia, it was also a constraint on Huang Zu, so this matter was put on hold for the first time.

The formation of the Jingzhou naval army was originally 10,000 people, and most of them were lost in the battle of Nanyang, and later Liu Xin selected some people from the new army in Xiangyang to supplement them, and now it has always been maintained at the level of 5,000 people. In this way, there were half more ships in the original warship. At present, the supply of the navy and the connection between Xiangyang and Changsha are carried out by relying on the navy through waterways. Liu Xin did this for two reasons, one was to exercise the actual combat ability of the navy, which was regarded as a training for the navy, and the other reason was that because Huang Zu had not clearly expressed his obedience to Liu Xin's command, Liu Xin was still not very at ease with him, so through several back and forth, the surplus warships of the navy were quietly transferred to Jiangling.

The Spring Festival is approaching, Liu Xin ordered that from the twentieth day of the twentieth month of the lunar month, the officials of the five counties of Jingxiang can take a month off, but at the same time, each yamen must also arrange duty matters. The soldiers were also given a turn to rest, and the people on the construction site were now all on vacation and went home, the only thing that could not be taken was the more than 20,000 Yellow Turban prisoners of war, who were all transferred to the counties and began to build official roads connecting the counties.

Cai Mao, who is the captain of the Jingzhou Navy Army, can also enjoy this month's vacation. When he heard that Liu Xin was going to Changsha by water, he personally led a team of warships to Xiangyang. Liu Xin understood what he meant, so he specially approved him to take a vacation in advance, because Liu Xin knew that the group of people he brought from Hejian were not familiar with water warfare, and he still needed to rely on Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, two cousins, in this regard. Cai Mao is also a romantic figure, in Jiangxia for most of the year, he can't go casually in the city, and he is trapped in the water village all day long, but he is suffocated.

For a long time, the south was relatively calm, there was no war, and the naval army did not develop much correspondingly. The Jingzhou Navy was mainly equipped with three types of warships, the smaller ones were Qingzhou and Mengchong, and the largest was a two-story building ship. Cai Mao brought to Xiangyang with two Lou boats and two Mengchong boats, and four light boats.

In the early morning of the tenth day of the lunar month, Liu Xin left Fu to be in charge of the government affairs of Jingzhou, Zhang Fei was in charge of the regular army in Xiangyang, Dian Wei led the Flying Tiger to protect the officials' mansions, research institutes, academies and other important places, and he himself took Zhao Yun and Wen Ping to board the building ship as the command ship, accompanied by Xu Laopa, Tian Feng and Huang Zhong's families.
