Chapter 140: The Peacock Flies South

Liu Yong fixed his eyes and saw that the woman had bright eyes and bright teeth, slim and elegant, and wanted to cry, looking anxious, but it was Xiao Qiao. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Yong was shocked: "Sister Xiao Qiao, who bullied you?" ”

Immediately after that, another woman trotted out of it, but it was Big Joe. Da Qiao came over and grabbed his sister's arm and said, "Husband, Qian'er has been waiting for you for a long time." As soon as I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, I couldn't wait to come out and have a look. ”

Liu Yong smiled and said, "Qian'er, don't worry, there is something for your brother-in-law to call the shots." I don't think there is anyone who should bully our baby sister, it's really tired. ”

"Brother-in-law, no one bullied me." Xiao Qiao burst into tears and laughed, then bit his silver teeth lightly, and said pitifully: "Brother-in-law, you have a lot of business, and my little sister shouldn't bother you." But this matter is very urgent and very difficult to do, and the little sister has no other way but to beg you. ”

"There is something else that makes us smart and clever, and the elf-eccentric Miss Qiao Er can't think about it? That must be a difficult thing to do. Liu Yong joked and comforted: "It's okay, your brother-in-law will help you no matter what." Don't worry, it's windy here, and it's not convenient to talk, let's go back to the house first and talk slowly. ”

Xiao Qiao heard Liu Yong's promise, and immediately smiled. Da Qiao said softly: "My sister said that your brother-in-law will definitely agree." Xiao Qiao said "um" lightly and nodded again and again, as if as long as Liu Yong was willing to agree, the problem would definitely be solved.

Liu Yong and Da Qiao have always had deep apologies for this sister in their hearts. At the beginning, in order to rescue Da Qiao, Liu Yong confused Sun Ce's courtship, but it ruined Xiao Qiao's happy marriage. To be honest, Liu Yong's impression of Zhou Yu is quite good, with outstanding talent and good demeanor. Su Shi's "Nian Nujiao? In "Chibi Nostalgia", "Thinking of Gongjin back then, Xiao Qiao got married for the first time, and he was heroic. Lupine scarf, talking and laughing, the canopy is gone. "How elegant, how free! Although Zhou Yu's life span is not long, he has been a husband and wife with Xiao Qiao for more than ten years. Although Xiao Qiao did not blame him, although it was not from the original intention of the two of them, but the result was true, which made Liu Yong and Da Qiao feel even more guilty, so they both made a vow that they must find ways to do their best to help Xiao Qiao fulfill a wish.

Xiao Qiao was impatient, and as soon as he entered the house, he said, "Brother-in-law, you must help me, and only you can help me." ”

Liu Yong saw that Xiao Qiao was a little incoherent, so he said softly: "Little sister, you have to be more detailed." I have to know what happened first? And then it's how to help, what to do, right? ”

"Ah, I'm too anxious." Little Joe was a little embarrassed. Da Qiao gently stroked Xiao Qiao's sideburns and soothed: "Sister, don't worry, you sort it out first and tell your brother-in-law the truth of the matter in detail." My sister thinks that this matter is not too difficult to handle, as long as your brother-in-law comes forward, I believe it will be easy to solve. Xiao Qiao listened to Da Qiao quietly, his big eyes were full of anticipation, and he nodded vigorously.

Liu Yong was a little inexplicable, reached out to hold Da Qiao's warm and delicate softness, and looked at her suspiciously, with an inquiring look in his eyes. Da Qiao looked at him and smiled gently, and then whispered to Xiao Qiao: "Sister, say it." ”

Xiao Qiao calmed down, and said with a long breath: "Brother-in-law, I have a wonderful sister named Liu Lanzhi, who married a ...... in Lujiang City three years ago named Jiao Zhongqing."

"What do you say? Liu Lanzhi, and Jiao Zhongqing, isn't this "Peacock Flying Southeast"? Liu Yong was taken aback, it turned out that this poignant love story happened in this era. Liu Yong suddenly remembered that when he was studying this textbook before, there was a preface in front of the poem: In Jian'an in the late Han Dynasty, Zhongqing, the wife of Zhongqing, a small official in Lujiang Mansion, was sent by Zhongqing's mother and swore not to marry. His family forced him to die without water. When he heard it, he also hanged himself in the garden tree. When people are injured, it is a poem. Liu Yong only paid attention to the content of the poem at that time, and did not pay much attention to this preface, so he only remembered this incident when Xiao Qiao reminded him.

Xiao Qiao opened his big flickering eyes, his pretty face was full of doubts, and asked, "Brother-in-law, what is the 'peacock flying southeast'?" ”

"Oh, your brother-in-law is having a nervous get! Little sister, don't be surprised, you continue. ”

Xiao Qiao covered his mouth and chuckled, and in a blink of an eye, his face was sad again, and he continued: "Their husband and wife were originally extremely affectionate, but Brother Zhongqing's mother didn't like Sister Lanzhi. In fact, Sister Laneige's ability is amazing......"

"I know. Your sister Lanzhi is thirteen can weave and fourteen can learn tailoring. Fifteen bullets, sixteen recitations of poetry and books......"

Da Qiao said puzzledly: "How does the husband know so clearly? Have you seen her? ”

Liu Yong was embarrassed for a while, "No, how could I have seen it, I just heard of it." Liu Yong denied it indiscriminately, not daring to look at Da Qiao's suspicious gaze, so he had to ask Xiao Qiao, "At what point now, their husband and wife divorced?" No, has your Laneige sister been taken home by Hugh? ”

Xiao Qiao bit his lip lightly, and originally wanted to ask Liu Yong how he knew this, and what strange words such as divorce were there, but thinking of the urgency of time and the seriousness of the situation, he had to say, "Hmm." Brother Zhongqing is a very filial person, although he is reluctant to Sister Lanzhi, he does not dare to disobey his mother, so he has to reluctantly divorce Sister Lanzhi. ”

"What filial piety is, it's just foolishness." Liu Yong said with extreme disdain.

Xiao Qiao was a little surprised by Liu Yong's attitude, and hesitated: "But most people praise Brother Zhong Qing, saying that he is sensible and obedient." ”

"Most people? It's all men. Liu Yong pursed his lips with a sarcastic expression.

"Yes." Little Joe replied in a low voice, a sad look on his face.

Liu Yong said again: "What kind of Jiao Zhongqing is still not a man?" ”

"What?" Xiao Qiao was a little puzzled, "What do you mean by brother-in-law?" ”

Liu Yong was a little annoyed and said: "Filial piety is due, but not everything should be listened to." Obedience is filial piety, disobedience is disobedience, and you don't have a judgment? Is it true that his mother, if he wants to kill people, to set fires, he has to do it? ”

Da Qiao saw that Liu Yong's forehead was bruised, and his face was angry, just like a powder keg that ignited at one point, so he gently pinched Liu Yong's big hand and persuaded: "Husband, isn't this the case in this world?" If you get angry once when you see something, then you will feel better. Listening to Da Qiao's soft voice of comfort, Liu Yong suddenly looked like a deflated balloon, and it wilted all of a sudden.

Xiao Qiao saw it in his eyes, secretly envious, and sighed: "It would be great if all the men in this world could respect us and love us as women as my brother-in-law." ”

Da Qiao listened to Xiao Qiao's emotion, and his heart was happy, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Liu Yong gently, full of tenderness and sweetness.

In fact, Brother Zhongqing is not as unbearable as his brother-in-law thinks, he swore to Sister Lanzhi that they will never be separated in this life. He asked Sister Lanzhi to go back to her parents' house for the time being, saying that he would soon persuade her mother to change her mind and come back soon to reunite. ”

With tears in his eyes, Da Qiao asked, "Qian'er, what did Laneige say?" ”

Xiao Qiao replied: "Sister Lanzhi said, Jun is a rock, and a concubine is a Pu Wei. The reeds are like silk, and the rock has no transfer. They will live and die together. ”

Da Qiao burst into tears after hearing this, and said to Liu Yong in a choked voice: "Husband, you must help them." ”

Liu Yong nodded, and asked Xiao Qiao again, "Qian'er, how do you know?" ”

"My little sister also has an old friend named Yu'er, who she asked someone to bring me a letter."

"Oh!" Liu Yong groaned slightly, Lujiang is not close to here, time is pressing, and asked, "When is this?" ”

"I'm afraid it's been a month." Xiao Qiao replied, and said anxiously, "That's why my little sister is in a hurry." I heard that Brother Zhongqing made a vow that if he couldn't get together, he would go to Huangquan together, and if he couldn't be together in life, he would be together in death. ”

Liu Yong asked, "Did Jiao Zhongqing say that his mother was moved?" ”

Xiao Qiao shook his head and said, "His mother was unmoved, and told Brother Zhongqing about another family, saying that she would marry Qin Luofu, the daughter of the neighbor's family." ”

Da Qiao frowned and said, "Then did Jiao Zhongqing agree?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Qiao replied, "Brother Zhongqing said that he would not marry any other woman except Sister Lanzhi. ”

Da Qiao sighed: "This Jiao Zhongqing is affectionate and righteous. ”

"Qian'er, why do you think I have a way to solve this matter?" Liu Yong was puzzled.

"Brother-in-law, the biggest official in Lujiang is too shou Li Shu. As long as Li Shu said something and asked Brother Zhongqing to take Sister Lanzhi back, his mother would not dare to disobey no matter how unwilling she was. ”

"But your brother-in-law and Li Shu don't know each other, besides, he is the Taishou of Lujiang, I am the Taishou of Luyuan, we are at the same level, I can't control him."

"Brother-in-law, although you and Li Shu are both Taishou, you still have the military position of Prime Minister. You go and talk to Li Shu and ask him to take care of this matter, he won't stop listening. ”

"You know a lot about being a little ghost, but isn't your brother-in-law not serving by Cao Gong's side now?" Liu Yong smiled helplessly.

Da Qiao said on the side: "Husband, Li Shu didn't know that you had left. Over there, Prime Minister Cao Cheng didn't edict to dismiss you from your military position, not to mention that you still have the title of Holy Lord. ”

Liu Yong was surprised: "Where did your two sisters know so many rules in officialdom?" ”

"It was Sister Cai Yan who said it." Little Joe replied immediately.

"No wonder." Liu Yong smiled bitterly, "It seems that you sisters are in a group." Well, you say, what do you want me to do? ”

"Brother-in-law can ask Li Shu to ......," Xiao Qiao said hatefully, "Say to the old woman and ask Brother Zhongqing to take Sister Lanzhi back." If you keep it, the old woman won't dare not listen. ”

Liu Yong laughed and laughed, this little Qiao really loves and hates clearly. However, this method only superficially solves the problem, and the contradiction has not been resolved. Liu Yong was still distracted, and Xiao Qiao asked softly, "Brother-in-law...... Brother-in-law......"

Liu Yong was excited, shook his head and said, "Little sister, you can't do that." Even if Li Shu came forward and Jiao's mother agreed, it would not work. It's easy to reunite their husband and wife, but it's hard to make the old lady willing, otherwise your Lanzhi sister won't be able to live a good life even if she stays. ”

"That's just as well." Big and Little Qiao glanced at each other, "Is there any other way for the husband (brother-in-law)?" ”

"I'll think about it again and see if there's a best way to do it."

"Brother-in-law, that's not going to work. I'm afraid that when you come up with a way, it's already ...... over there," Xiao Qiao looked worried.

"Okay. Then let's pack up and hit the road immediately. There are carrier pigeons on the Lujiang side, so I'll arrange it, let the people over there inquire about the news, and immediately upload one back. ”

"Thank you, brother-in-law." Xiao Qiao's face was delighted.

Soon, the news of Lujiang came, Jiao Zhongqing kept his promise and repeatedly refused his mother Zhang Luo's marriage, but Liu Lanzhi ran into trouble here, and somehow was favored by the third son of Wancheng County.

Xiao Qiao temporarily put his mind at ease, but Liu Yong was worried, Liu Lanzhi would politely decline, but then it was the fifth son of Lujiang who guarded Li Shu, and Liu Lanzhi's brother would come out to interfere, and a tragedy would be staged.

The four ladies all sympathized with the hard-working mandarin ducks and urged Liu Yong to leave earlier. Originally, Sun Quan's Chaisang was not too far from Fuyi, and Liu Yong's original plan was to meet Sun Quan first to discuss the alliance, and then go to Poyang to meet Zhou Yu to say goodbye to Xiao Qiao. Now the itinerary has to be changed, I can only go to the Lujiang River first, then cross the Yangtze River to see Zhou Yu first, and finally see Sun Quan.

As soon as he said to go, Liu Yong only took Xiao Qiao and Zhou Cang and other twenty or so people with him, traveled lightly, slept in the open air, and went straight to Lujiang. Fortunately, Xiao Qiao's riding skills were very good, he didn't lag behind, and there was no delay on the road, and everyone arrived at Lujiang at the fastest speed.

The shopkeeper of Lujiang was waiting at the gate of the city early, and when he saw Liu Yong hurriedly coming to give a gift, he welcomed him into the best inn in the city, and made a detailed report on the latest news. Liu Yong heard that Li Shu just sent the master book to give a dowry and set a date, but before he got married, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Liu Yong told Xiao Qiao the news, and Xiao Qiao was also overjoyed, but when he heard that Liu Lanzhi took the initiative to agree to the marriage, he was a little depressed. Liu Yong asked, "Qian'er, do you believe in your Lanzhi sister's personality?" ”

Little Joe nodded. Liu Yong sighed: "I believe it too. So, you should be able to guess what the outcome will be, right? ”

Xiao Qiao was slightly stunned, then shocked and frightened, shook Liu Yong's arm and said, "Brother-in-law, have you figured out a way?" ”

"I've been thinking about it all the way. I don't know if it will be successful. Early tomorrow morning, I will first go to Admiral Li Shufu to stop this matter, and then take a step at a time. ”

At this time, Taishou was in the middle of the lantern, and was preparing for the marriage of the fifth son, the green finch and the white bird, and the four-horned dragon flag; Heel on a green horse, tassel gold saddle. There are also 300 horses of various kinds of silk and satin, and the bride money is 3 million, which is extremely grand.

Li Shuzheng asked the clerk to write an invitation, and suddenly a porter came to report, saying that Liu Yong, the former Taishou, asked to see him. As Cai Wenji said, although Liu Yong is on the same level as Li Shu, he has a heavier military position in the late Han Dynasty, not to mention that Liu Yong is still a celebrity in front of Cao Cao.

The two exchanged a few words, and Liu Yong said: "Li Taishou, I won't tell you that Liu Yong took the liberty to come this time for the marriage of your son." (To be continued.) )
