Chapter 523: What's Up? (Supplement)
When Liu Rui was young, Liu Xin often hugged her to play, and even let her sit on her lap and tell her stories. But at that time, Liu Rui was just a child, and she didn't need to worry about anything. Later, when Liu Rui grew up, Liu Xin refused to get close to her like that, so as not to cause any misunderstanding. Now, Liu Rui is already a big girl who is about to get married, and Liu Xin deliberately keeps a certain distance from her, after all, she is only Liu Xin's stepdaughter, and Liu Xin still needs to avoid the necessary suspicions. Now if you want Liu Xin to put her on the sedan chair, you don't have to think about it.
This kind of thing can't be done by an irrelevant man, no matter how Zhu Qian persuades her, Liu Xin just refuses to let go. If there is really no way, you can also let a woman carry it. However, this is a hard work, not just a few steps on the back of a person, there are many rituals such as crossing the brazier, where can ordinary women afford to toss like this. If you want to pick one, Zhu Rong definitely has the strength, but she is pregnant now, and she is categorically unwilling to take this risk.
When everyone was in a dilemma, a young child's voice said, "I'm coming!" ”
Liu Xin turned his head to look, but it was Liu Yu, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "What's the mess, go to Lao Tzu!" ”
Ma Yun stopped her hand and said, "Don't, just let Yu'er go." ”
Liu Yu glanced at his father proudly, and stepped forward in a dignified manner. These days, Liu Xin is still in the "inspection period", so naturally he doesn't dare to go against Ma Yun's intentions, and he only has to stare dryly. However, there is no problem with letting Liu Yu carry Liu Rui, although there is no blood relationship between them, Liu Yu is also Liu Rui's nominal younger brother. What's more, although Liu Yu is almost a head taller than his peers, he is still just a child in the final analysis, and he really doesn't need any scruples to carry Liu Rui.
It's just that Liu Xin is a little skeptical about whether such an older child can complete this task. In fact, not only Liu Xin was suspicious, but most of the people present were equally suspicious, and the people who came to greet their relatives were also suspicious. But there are three people who believe that Liu Yu can do it, that is, Ma Yun, Zhu Rong and Liu Rui.
It is said that knowing the son is better than the father, but when it is put on Liu Yu, it will be changed to knowing the son as the mother. This is also understandable, Liu Xin is busy with official business most of the time, and he is also away all the year round, so he naturally does not have much time to spend with the children. And Zhu Rong had an experience of competing with Liu Yu for Fang Tian's halberd, and she was deeply impressed by Liu Yu's natural divine power. Liu Rui, as the eldest sister of the children in Liu Mansion, often plays with Liu Yu and them, and of course she knows Liu Yu's ability better.
The children are trying to be lively, Liu Rui got married today, and so many people came to the house, Liu Yu was very excited, and he wanted to show himself well in front of everyone. In the exclamation of everyone, Liu Yu gently picked up Liu Rui. Although Liu Rui is much taller than her younger brother, Liu Yu seems to have no weight on his back, and under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, he completed the ceremonies very easily, and smoothly sent Liu Rui to the sedan chair, his face was not red and he was not panting.
Liu Xin was surprised, he really didn't know that his son had so much strength, thinking about it, his father was really incompetent, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, turned his head to look at Ma Yun, but saw a happy smile on the corner of Ma Yun's mouth. has such a powerful son, she, as a mother, is naturally qualified to be a little proud. Liu Xin also unexpectedly found that Guo Zhao, the little girl standing behind Ma Yun, was staring at the sedan chair without blinking, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Because Liu Xin is just marrying her daughter, the most lively scene today is still at the Sun family two streets away. The civil and military men under Liu Xin, for the sake of Liu Xin's face, all went to Sun's house to congratulate, where there must be a grand wedding banquet to be held. And Sun Jian's old departments were even more excited and stayed awake all night, just waiting for a good time today. However, it is inconvenient for Liu Xin's family to go.
Seeing that her daughter, who had been dependent on each other, finally married a wife, Zhu Qian's heart was a little empty, and her eyes gradually moistened.
Liu Xin smiled and said, "Okay, this is a happy event, what's there to be sad about?" Rui'er got married today, our own family also had a good time, we all smiled, I will do it myself, go and prepare a big meal for you! ”
When Liu Rui got married, the gentry and officials from all over the country had to send some congratulatory gifts, including many delicacies from the mountains and seas. These precious and rare ingredients are usually reluctant to be used by Liu Xin. It's not because they can't afford this price, there is a behemoth like Dahan Qianzhuang, and I believe that the entire Dahan Dynasty can't find a few people who are richer than their family. It's just that Liu Xin and Ma Yun both understand a truth, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. Therefore, in the state pastoral government, although the three meals a day are meat and vegetarian combinations, the nutrition is comprehensive and reasonable, but the ingredients used have always been very ordinary.
Now, everyone has sent all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, if you don't eat it, it's another kind of Lang fee, rather than waiting for a long time, these things will slowly spoil, it is better for everyone to try it. Besides, today is Liu Rui's day of great joy, which is naturally different from usual, and it should be celebrated and celebrated.
Liu Xin rarely cooks now, but he is particularly active today, not only to comfort Zhu Qian, but also to behave well in front of Ma Yun, win her favor, and strive to lift the confinement as soon as possible. Because of his practice, he only needs to take a nap for an hour or two every night. The rest of the time, he could only vent his energy and shine yin by repeatedly practicing that halberd method.
The table is full of dishes carefully prepared with a variety of rare ingredients, and the colors and flavors are so delicious that you will be appetizing when you look at them. Especially the dishes of bear paw and hump are usually not eaten. There are also some seafood, which Gan Ning specially purchased from the Jiangnan area and personally drove the fast boat to Xiangyang, which is even more rare. Liu Xin also reprimanded Gan Ning for this, and forbade him to transport these things by naval ships in the future.
Before Ma Yun traveled to the Eastern Han Dynasty, she was very fond of seafood. Of course, after arriving in this world, due to the difficulties in transportation and preservation, she has not eaten seafood for a long time, and today's meal made her extremely comfortable. Ma Yun put down her chopsticks contentedly, turned to Liu Xin and said, "You don't have to sleep in the study tonight, accompany Zhu Qian." ”
Liu Xin was overjoyed when she heard this, and said with a salivating face: "My wife is really a big ** amount, so soon to let her husband come back to sleep, it's still a good wife." ”
Ma Yun glared at her and said, "Think beautifully!" Today, for the sake of your hard work to make this table meal, I will let you go once. Tomorrow I will continue to sleep in the study! ”
Liu Xin said cheekily: "Wife, just let me go, I will cook myself every day in the future, make such a table of meals, and ensure that you are all raised for nothing." ”
As a result, as soon as these words came out, the women at the table rolled their eyes. Ma Yun ignored him even more, and said undoubtedly: "Today I have the right to be released on parole, and tomorrow everything will be as usual." If not, the deadline will be extended for another month. ”
The police caught the thief, one thing fell one thing, Liu Xin faced Ma Yun, who did not enter the oil and salt, and only waved his hand again and again, and said helplessly: "Serve, I can't serve it." ”
In fact, the day on which Liu Rui got married was carefully chosen by Ma Yun, which not only conformed to the auspicious day on the imperial calendar, but also happened to be Liu Xin's turn to go to Zhu Qian's room to rest on this day. Ma Yun set the date on this day because she knew that Liu Rui's marriage would definitely make Zhu Qian's mood a little lost, and she could just let Liu Xin accompany her. It was precisely with this in mind that Ma Yun made an exception to let Liu Xin sleep back to the inner house tonight. However, if Liu Xin wants to take this opportunity to lift the "sentence", in front of Ma Yun, who enforces the law impartially, it can only be wishful thinking.
On the treetops of the moon, Zhu Qian sat on the edge of the bed, looking still a little trance, she had worked hard to raise such a big daughter, and she would be someone else's family from now on. However, she was a little lucky, if she hadn't met Liu Xin outside Xiangyang City back then, maybe her baby daughter didn't know where she had gone. Now, Rui'er has not only grown up, but also married a young and promising general in style, and the dowry prepared for Rui'er in the mansion alone is enough to fill thirty-six big boxes, but Baorui'er has no worries about food and clothing in this life, so what is she not satisfied with?
The door was gently pushed open, and Liu Xin walked in, he was content today.
Although Liu Rui is not his biological daughter, he can also be said to have watched Liu Rui grow up, and he also likes this innocent little girl, and he is somewhat reluctant to marry Liu Rui so early. Sun Ce is undoubtedly a hero, although he was relatively short-lived in history, but when he met Liu Xin, who was prophetic and good at changing his life against the sky, it was probably a little difficult to live a long life. marrying Liu Ruixu to Sun Ce can be regarded as finding a better home for her.
What made Liu Xin even more content was that Ma Yun actually let him sleep back in the inner house tonight, although there was only one night, it was better than nothing, Liu Xin was already a little impatient.
Seeing Liu Xin come in, Zhu Qian quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly, "Master, thank you." ”
Although this thank you is not big, it is full of Zhu Qian's deep affection, not only to thank Liu Xin for coming to accompany her tonight, but also to thank Liu Xin for taking care of their mother and daughter for so many years.
Liu Xin also sat down, hugged her into her arms, and said with a smile: "Qian'er, don't say stupid things, I should thank you tonight." Don't worry, I'll do my best tonight to make sure you get through the night comfortably. ”
finally got a day of "parole", Liu Xin naturally didn't want to let go of this opportunity, he had already secretly made up his mind that he would not withdraw his troops until dawn.
Liu Xin said it so explicitly, how could Zhu Qian not understand, lowered her head shyly, and suddenly exclaimed "ah". Liu Xin's hand hadn't started to move yet, and he was a little surprised, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”
