On the morning of the third day of September, Liu Cong and his wife got up and finished freshening up, Liu Cong sat on the pestle and thought about things for a while, then turned his face to Cai Yunfei and said, "Today I will go to Changsha. ”

"What's the matter with my husband going to Changsha? Why didn't you say it last night? So urgent. Cai Fengfei looked at Liu Cong in surprise and asked.

"Well, that's what happened. A few days ago, I met Wei Yan, a general of the Changsha garrison, who often came to Xiangyang Jiangling to handle official business. I think this person is good, and he is very compatible with me and has knowledge.

The main thing is this, first, I estimate that the things behind Jingzhou are generally taken care of by me, so I want to take advantage of the free days to go to the nearby counties to learn about the situation.

Another point, I want to go to Changsha to learn archery skills from the old general Huang Zhong.

In the future, I will preside over the affairs of Jingzhou, and this battle will inevitably be fought, and my kung fu and equestrian archery skills are not proficient, so I still want to seize the time to learn more from others. ”

"Oh, that's good. Husband, just go. I just don't know when I'll be back. Cai Fengfei looked at Liu Cong, with a very reluctant and worried look in his eyes.

"In this way, Daddy usually doesn't use me right away these days. He just got married, and he won't be as anxious about things outside as we are. So I took advantage of the effort to go out for a walk.

As for when to come back, not necessarily. But it won't be too long, Jingzhou has not yet been settled, and I won't live outside for a long time. Well, it's only ten days and a half months at most. ”

Cai Fengfei is a woman who knows the general situation, and when she heard Liu Cong say this, she encouraged: "Then, husband, let's go." Don't worry about things at home. After the meal, the slave maid will pack your luggage for you. Hey——, what you told me last night, go and tell my aunt today? ”

This is the most anxious thing for Liu Cong to do after getting married, hearing Cai Fengfei's question, he suddenly stood up, stared at Cai Fengfei with his eyes tightly and said: "This is a big thing, you must tell your aunt today." If not, you're crying and screaming, and you'll have to convince your aunt to do it. ”

"Flutter!" Cai Fengfei couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Can you use it?" You have to cry and scream, depending on what you say. ”

Liu Cong sat down and lowered his head to think for a while, then raised his head and said: "I am also familiar with my mother's character, as soon as you say that her life is in danger, she will tear her face, and she will also make trouble for her father to do this."

It's just that time is pressing, and the situation in the world does not allow us to procrastinate. You have to explain this sense of urgency to your mother. Well, as long as these two points are explained, I think my mother will be able to do this. ”

So the two of them came to Mrs. Cai's room to say goodbye and eat. After the meal, Liu Cong brought Liu Biao a cup of tea and put it in front of him, then stood there and said to Liu Biao: "Dad, I am going to Changsha today." ”

"What's the matter?"

"The day before yesterday, Wei Yan came over to do some work, and the matter is done, and I want to go back today. I think Huang Hansheng's archery skills are unparalleled in the world, so I will go to Changsha Yamen with Wei Yan to live for a few days today, so that I can follow Huang Hansheng to learn archery. ”

Liu Biao hadn't said anything yet, Mrs. Cai heard it while eating, so she looked up at Liu Cong and then at Cai Yunfei, and thought to herself: "It's only been less than ten days since I got married, what's so urgent?????? Can't you get along with your temper? Thinking like this, he saw that Cai Yunfei didn't behave unusually, so he didn't say anything.

Liu Biao smiled: "Well, go ahead." Born in this troubled world, Wen Taowu must understand something. Where to study for how many days? ”

"Not sure. My parents didn't have anything to do, so they stayed there for a few more days, and if they had anything, they told them to come back early. ”

Mrs. Cai was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Let's study for a few days, just after the happy event, I will go out to learn archery." ”

Cai Yunfei saw it and said, "Auntie, don't stop him, let him learn." I'm at home. ”

Liu Biao glanced at Cai Yunfei with satisfaction, and said to Liu Cong: "Ask your mother if there is anything to ask, please ask, if there is nothing to do, you can leave." ”

Mrs. Cai ordered: "It's okay, you can go." It's just that you go early and come back early, and archery is not something that you can master in a day and a half. Just come back early and practice slowly. ”

Liu Cong agreed: "What Mom said is that Cong'er remembers." After saying goodbye, Mrs. Liu Biaocai went out and left.

Cai Yunfei was left in the house to serve Mrs. Cai for dinner, and Mrs. Cai glanced at her and ordered: "Go to the side and sit and rest, I am not old, I don't need to serve." And then there's them. Mrs. Cai said and glanced at the maids standing beside her, and then said, "He is going to Changsha, and he doesn't know how many days he will stay." The newlywed is far away, and you don't go out to see him off! ”

"Auntie, he told me in advance, saying that he didn't need me to send him when he left, and let me serve my parents here for dinner." Mrs. Cai stopped talking when she heard this, but lowered her head and drank the soup.

Liu Biao was obese and couldn't stand sitting for a long time, so he got up and went to the back room to rest.

After Mrs. Cai finished eating, she watched the maids pack up the dishes and go to the kitchen, and when she turned around to talk to Cai Yunfei, she saw Cai Yunfei sitting on the side silently wiping her tears. Crying nose and wiping tears, did he bully you? Seeing that Caiyunfei was still wiping tears without squeaking, he shouted: "I can see that this kid has a little affection for you, just as thin as window paper." Whew! It's not that I said, how can there be such a thing - less than ten days after getting married, and there is no imperial order to urge, what is busy, so I put my daughter-in-law at home, and fly out to be happy! No, I'll call this kid back and explain the matter before leaving. Then he commanded with a loud voice: "Go!" Go to the yamen and call Cong'er back. ”

Cai Yunfei hurriedly got up and stopped: "Auntie, don't stop him, I asked him to go." I don't cry for him, I just pity him. ”

Mrs. Cai suppressed her anger, turned her face to stare at Cai Yunfei, and was at a loss for a moment, just looking at her suspiciously.

I saw Cai Yunfei come over and take Mrs. Cai's arm and ask her to sit down, sifted another cup of tea, held it and put it in front of Mrs. Cai and said; "Auntie, let's have tea." With that, he sat sideways with a sad look on his face.

Mrs. Cai couldn't bear it anymore, so she pushed the tea aside and asked, "If I ask you, what's wrong?" You don't make it clear, just like that gourd with a sawed mouth, it can really suffocate you! Whew! I've never liked to see you like this - whether you should say it or not, whether you should do it or not, let yourself suffer, don't say it if you have grievances and grievances, and always stuff it in your stomach.

has been this virtuous since he was a child, and he is still like this in the Liu family after getting married. Unpromising! You mean, huh? What the hell is going on? ”

Mrs. Cai counted her niece with a gun and a stick like this, but she didn't know that it didn't touch Cai Yunfei at all, she was good-tempered, and she stayed for a while to see Mrs. Cai and didn't say anything, so she said unhurriedly: "I just feel that Liu Cong is pitiful, so I can't help but cry, and I can't imagine that my aunt will be on fire." ”

"What is there for him to be pitied? There is no shortage of food or clothing, living a life of fine clothes and food, what is the pity? ”

"At first, I thought so, but when I talked to him, I realized that I was worried about Jingzhou?"

When Mrs. Cai heard this, she thought to herself: "I knew that this Liu Cong was capable, both civil and military, why didn't I see him worry about Jingzhou?" If you know to worry, that's a good thing. I'll hear how he worries. Thinking of this, he asked: "He doesn't hold any official position in Jingzhou Yamen now, what does he care?" Speak with me. ”

"Auntie, before, I only heard people say that Liu Cong is both wise and brave, and he can predict, but I still don't believe it in my heart. After getting married, I heard him talk and knew that he was really talented. The prediction is reasonable, and it must be accurate. ”

"He predicted anything that would make you so impressed."

"He said that after four years, at most four years, Cao Cao will clear the forces of Yuan Shao in Hebei, and he will definitely bring troops to clean up Jingzhou."

"I know that. There is no need for him to predict, the officials of Jingzhou here all think so. ”

"Do you know what's going on? Aunt. ”

"What did he say next?"

He said that although all the officials in Jingzhou now know the future development trend, none of them are anxious. So he was worried, he said, people here in Jingzhou are messing around like this, and four years later, Cao Cao led his troops to kill him, and Jingzhou must be occupied by Cao Cao. Therefore, he was worried about this matter all the time, and he couldn't show it in the outfield, and when he arrived at home, he was restless in his sleep and often sighed. often stayed awake all night, studying the art of war, thinking about how to defeat Cao Cao in the future. ”

When Mrs. Cai heard this, she thought: "I just want him to be the lord of Jingzhou, and in the future, when his father is gone, I have something to rely on." For this reason, even his niece married him. I don't want him to have such big ambitions, but I didn't know that beforehand. ”

Thinking of this, Mrs. Cai asked casually, "What are you afraid of when Cao Cao comes?" If you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you will surrender, with such a big heart in advance? I think that your father-in-law did not listen to Liu Bei's instigation to attack Cao Cao several times, firstly, because he was sick and could not lead troops to fight on the battlefield, and there was a more far-reaching purpose, that is, not to make friends with Cao Cao, so as to leave room for peace with Cao Cao in the future. ”

When Cai Yunfei heard this, he knew that Liu Cong's worry was not unreasonable, so he hurriedly handed it over and said, "Ah, aunt." No wonder Liu Cong is worried. It turns out that even my uncle has such a mind? But you don't know ??????"

"Don't know what? You said. ”

"You don't know how far Liu Cong thinks, he is the one who is far-sighted."

"Then tell me about his insights."

The niece didn't dare to say. I said that I was afraid of my aunt??????"

"What's wrong with Auntie? It's not going to die, is it? ”

"He said his uncle would be like that in four years. Hey——, no, it was three years later, a few months earlier than Cao Cao came. ”012
