Chapter 719: Shameless (2)
β¦β¦
"Hmph, it's too much to deceive people, it's too bad, no, I want to go to the court, I want to go to the book, Your Majesty, the words and deeds of Liu Mang, the king of Shu, are simply insulting the saint and the royal family!" Qiao Xuan returned to Zhou Yu's mansion and was immediately out of breath.
This old man is angry, he has never seen such a shameless person, Qiao Xuan said that he is shameless, he is not ashamed but proud, shameless to the extreme.
"Father, what's wrong with you! Who messed with you! Over there, Qiao Yue also knew that her father and Zhou Yu had returned, so she asked her father.
"It's not Liu Mang, the king of Shu!" Qiao Xuan's voice was amplified.
"He? What happened to him? Qiao Yue asked a little anxiously.
"He doesn't want to marry you!" Qiao Xuan said to Qiao Yue.
"Yes!" Qiao Yue's heart had a trace of bitterness, "Sure enough, he still likes his sister a little more!" β
"Yue'er, it's not that His Highness doesn't want to marry you! Ay! Zhou Yu didn't know how to explain, as long as he appeased Qiao Xuan first.
"Gong Qiao, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger!" Zhou Yu persuaded Qiao Xuan on the side, "Gong Qiao, it is understandable that you let him marry Yue'er, but you let His Royal Highness the King of Shu divorce his wife, isn't it difficult for a strong man!" Zhou Yu looked at Qiao Xuan in embarrassment and said.
"Is it difficult to be strong? Why is it difficult for a strong man, do you want my daughter to marry as a concubine? Hehe, I Qiao Xuan can't afford to lose this person, although my Qiao family is not a family of scholars, it is also a scholarly family, and an unknown medium is marrying, what will others think of me Qiao Xuan? "Qiao Xuan still can't get along with face after all. The swollen face and fat man said that he was a person like Qiao Xuan.
But Qiao Xuanna also has the strength to save face, which one of the whole big men doesn't call Qiao Gong when he sees him. Even a few years ago, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty sent someone to send a letter and regarded himself as a disciple. You can know how good this old man is.
This Qiao Xuan's achievements when he was young did not have to be low at all. If it weren't for Qiao Xuan's longevity for decades. Maybe half of the people in the world are surnamed Qiao now. And Liu Mang is just a bad boy in Qiao Xuan's mind. Now this bad boy still has two labels on him: shameless and indecent.
"But Duke Qiao, if this continues, neither you nor His Royal Highness the King of Shu will be able to get off the stage!" Zhou Yu became bitter, he originally planned to be an adult, but he didn't expect it to be a stone and hit his own feet. This Qiao Xuan stubbornly asked Liu Mang, the king of Shu, to marry Qiao Yue as his wife, and Liu Mang over there can kill you Qiao Xuan, and I won't care about you.
"I don't believe it anymore, Liu Mang, the king of Shu, can still use his power to oppress people! I'm afraid he won't make it! Qiao Xuan said stubbornly. When he was young, he was not afraid of the powerful. Not to mention being old, Qiao Xuan served as the county's gong cao when he was young. At that time, Zhou Jing, the assassin of Yuzhou, led the officials to inspect the Liang State, and Qiao Xuan went to meet Zhou Jing, listed the crimes of Chen Xiang Yangchang, and asked Zhou Jing to appoint himself as Chen Guo to thoroughly investigate Yangchang's crimes. Zhou Jing thought he was heroic, agreed and sent him there. After Qiao Xuan took office, he arrested Yangchang's diners and verified his crimes in detail. But Yangchang has always been treated preferentially by the general Liang Ji. Liang Ji sent a fast horse to save him for Yangchang. Zhou Jing recalled Qiao Xuan according to Liang Ji's wishes, but Qiao Xuan only returned the paperwork and did not set off himself. The investigation of Yang Chang's charges is even more urgent. Yang Chang was finally escorted into Beijing by a prisoner car, and Qiao Xuan became famous for this.
"Huh!" Zhou Yu shook his head with a wry smile. Now it's not that Liu Mang, the king of Shu, oppresses people with power, but that you always use your prestige to suppress Liu Mang, the king of Shu.
"Metropolitan Governor, Metropolitan Governor, someone wants to see 1 Metropolitan Governor!" The housekeeper outside the door walked into the main hall of the Zhou family and reported to Zhou Yu.
"Don't call the Metropolitan Governor anymore, that's a thing of the past!" Zhou Yu frowned, and said to his subordinates, the official position of this metropolitan governor was when he was in Jiangdong, and now 1 will inevitably not be gossiped about if he is called the metropolitan governor again.
"It's the head of the house!" The butler nodded in response.
"Gong Qiao, there's something going on here!" Zhou Yu said apologetically to Qiao Xuan.
"Gongjin, you don't need to care about me, just let someone send pen, ink, paper and inkstone!" Qiao Xuan said to Zhou Yu, he really looked like he was going to write to Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty and was ready to join Liu Mang.
Ay! Zhou Yu could only shake his head, this old man was stubborn, and no one could stop him.
"Who wants to see me?" Zhou Yu asked the housekeeper outside the door.
"I don't know who it is, but I just delivered a famous thorn!" The housekeeper taught Zhou Yu the famous thorn, because several people outside the door were wearing silk clothes, and the rest of the body was extraordinary, so the housekeeper didn't dare to slack off, and immediately came back and reported it to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu took the famous thorn and looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise under this look, "Your Highness!" "There is no letter on the name thorn, only a big seal, the book, the Holy King of the Han Dynasty, isn't this the seal of Liu Mang, the king of Shu.
"Take me there!" Zhou Yu hurriedly asked the housekeeper to take him to find the distinguished guest.
These guests had already been taken to the side hall by the butler, and the butler couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but fortunately he didn't neglect the guests.
"I don't know if His Highness will miss the welcome when he comes to the cold house, and I hope His Highness will forgive his sins!" Zhou Yu arrived in the side hall, and sure enough, the leader among these people was His Royal Highness Liu Mang, the King of Shu.
"Gong Jin get up, I came here rashly, and I want to ask Gong Jin not to be annoyed by you, the master!" Liu Mang also smiled and said to Zhou Yu.
"Where is Your Highness, Your Highness is here this time?" Zhou Yu asked suspiciously.
"For that one, naturally!" Liu Mang said to Zhou Yu with a wry smile.
"Your Highness agreed?" Zhou Yu's eyes also widened, he also knew that Liu Mang's father-in-law was powerful, if one of them was not good, it would be a mutiny, and the last unlucky one was Yangzhou.
"How can you agree!" Liu Mang shook his head, which made Zhou Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's all my fault!" Zhou Yu subconsciously said it.
"Huh?" Liu Mang frowned.
Zhou Yu reacted immediately, but fortunately he was witty, "It's all my fault that I picked up Qiao Gong this time, otherwise such a thing wouldn't have happened!" β
"This can't hang Gongjin on you, this is also Mrs. Wu's birthday, no matter what Gong Qiao said, it is also related to Mrs. Wu, and it is not indispensable to come to celebrate her birthday!" Although Liu Mang was comforting Zhou Yu on his lips. But this one really hates Zhou Yu in his heart. You say you're a dead. Isn't it good to let the old man Qiao Xuan die in Jiangdong, I have to bring him to Yangzhou, isn't this a disgusting person.
"Then Your Highness, you are here this time?" Zhou Yu asked Liu Mang.
"Naturally, I want to make that old man Qiao, no, Gong Qiao change his mind!" Liu Mang gritted his teeth and said.
"Your Highness?" Zhou Yu subconsciously looked behind Liu Mang, and saw that Liu Mang didn't bring armor and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he thought that Liu Mang, the king of Shu, was going to come hard.
"Okay, Gongjin, you go and help me interpret and say I'm here!" Liu Mang said to Zhou Yu.
"No need for copper. Your Highness, come with me! Zhou Yu knew that the pair of Weng sons-in-law would meet sooner or later, so they simply met face to face.
Liu Mang nodded and followed Zhou Yu in, at this time Qiao Xuan was no longer in the living room, I heard the servant say that Qiao Xuan went to Zhou Yu's study, Liu Mang and others had to accompany Zhou Yu to Qiao Xuan's study, and when they arrived in the study, the old man Qiao Xuan was holding a brush on the seat and splashing ink over there, concentrating.
Zhou Yu wanted to call Qiao Xuan, but was stopped by Liu Mang, and Liu Mang stepped forward. Looking at what Qiao Xuan wrote, he couldn't help but have a black line on the steamed bun at this glance. Because this old man Qiao Xuan is writing to Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, there is not a single good word on this letter, it can be said that under Qiao Xuan's pen, he Liu Mang has become synonymous with shamelessness and obscenity, and even Qiao Xuan asked Emperor Han how such a shameless person can be worthy of the word holy king, how can he be His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and I hope that His Majesty XiΓ can see everything clearly, and remove this shameless and obscene His Royal Highness, so he almost dragged it out and cut it.
"Qiao Gong is good at calligraphy!" Liu Mang said gloomily.
Qiao Gong responded without raising his head: "Old, this pen no longer has the same demeanor as before!" But it's okay! β
"You can get by, I can't get by, my father-in-law, my father-in-law!" Liu Mang's voice of gritting teeth rang out.
Qiao Xuan raised his head at this time, this is not Zhou Yu's voice, but this is Zhou Yu's study, which person dares to come in directly, only to see this person when he raises his head, this person is the person he Qiao Xuan doesn't want to see the most, "It's you!" You shameless and nasty scumbag! β
"It's me, you old stick who forces people to marry and divorce their wives!" Liu Mang was not inferior to Qiao Xuan in the slightest, and immediately refuted the past.
"Stinky boy, I'm going to kill you!" Qiao Xuan rolled up his sleeves.
"Come on, whoever is afraid of whom! Old stick, I won't let you know that Ma Wangye has three eyes today, you are a bully to me Liu Mang! Liu Mang was also furious.
"Gong Qiao is angry, angry!"
"Your Majesty, breathe anger, breathe anger!" Zhou Yu was completely dumbfounded, these two people were talking and even had to do it, Qiao Xuan is not a person who has no power to do it, although he is old, but he also went into battle to kill the enemy, in the last years of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Xianbei, the Southern Xiongnu and the heir of Goguryeo, Bogu, rebelled together, robbed and plundered in the border area, and the four governments jointly recommended Qiao Xuan as the general of Duliao, and he was given the power to use Huang Yue. Qiao Xuan arrived, trained the soldiers, and then supervised the generals to crusade against Hulu and Bogu. Defeat them all, serve for three years, and the border is stable.
What does this amount to! It is equivalent to Lu Bujia Ding Yuan, with the addition of Gongsun Zhan, and the merit of Gongsun Du.
LΓΌ Puding was originally in Bingzhou so that the Southern Xiongnu could not invade the Central Plains, Gongsun Chan beat Karasuma Xianbei and hugged the head of the rat, and Goguryeo was also terrified under the tiger power of Gongsun Du.
And these individuals add up to the same as a bowstring that Qiao Xuan did back then, you can know that this old man was short-tempered when he was young, and if he is Lian Po, he is also a Lian Po who can read.
And Liu Mang is not a guy who seems to be with him, he has also killed people on the battlefield, if these two masters really start to move, it is impossible for each one to lie down.
So Zhou Yu was shocked, and hurriedly came up to stop the two masters.
"Gongjin, let me come!" The two of them yelled loudly together.
"What are you doing with me!" Again, in unison.
"Bah, who wants to learn from you!" Still in unison.
"Shameless boy!" "Despicable old man!" It's finally different.
"For the sake of Gongjin's face, spare you today, stinky boy (old stick), hum!" The two turned their heads too far and ignored each other.
Seeing that the two of them were no longer staging an all-martial arts, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but step forward and ask Liu Mang, "Your Highness came to the mansion this time to discuss Miss Yue'er's matter with Gong Qiao?" Zhou Yu asked Liu Mang in a round field.
"Yes!" Although Liu Mang is very unhappy with this old stick, he is really afraid that this old stick will be killed by playing with it.
"Gong Qiao. You don't want to gossip outside, not just to Miss Qiao Yue. It's for you. And the Qiao family, that's all bad influence! Zhou Yu ran to Qiao Xuan again and said.
"Humph!" Qiao Xuan also snorted coldly, if he could solve it, he also wanted to solve the matter.
"Your Highness, are you here to marry Miss Qiao Yue!?" Zhou Yu asked Liu Mang, and a woman in white outside the study was nervously listening to the news.
"Yes!" Liu Mang nodded, "Yue'er is gentle and kind, I can't bear to ruin Yue'er's reputation, why was it born from you, an old stick!" Liu Mang gritted his teeth and said.
The face of the woman in white outside the door couldn't help but flush.
"You want to marry Yue'er!" Zhou Yu wants to ask clearly, there is a big difference between a wife and a concubine.
"I can't divorce my wife, I can only be a concubine. But I'm good for Yue'er! Liu Mang shook his head and said.
"Concubine? It's impossible, it's impossible for my family Yue'er to marry you as a concubine, you should die of this heart as soon as possible! Qiao Xuan said to Liu Mang.
"I can't help you!" Liu Mang said to Qiao Xuan, the old stick over there.
"Why can't I help it, he is my daughter, his business is my business, the marriage is the life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker!" Qiao Xuan shouted loudly at Liu Mang.
"I said I can't help you, that's because Yue'er is already my woman!" Liu Mang is ready to be shameless to the extreme.
"Poof!" Zhou Yu stood behind Liu Mang and almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, when did Yue'er become your woman?
"Phew!" The woman in white outside the door also spit on her.
"You, you, what do you say!" Old man Qiao Xuan also looked at Liu Mang with wide eyes. It seemed that he couldn't believe what Liu Mang said.
"What do I say? What can I say? Ears don't work? Then I repeat, Yue'er is already my woman. So old stick, you have to marry and you have to marry or not! Liu Mang made up his mind and was shameless.
"Impossible, you just slept in Yue'er's boudoir that day, it is impossible to have anything to do with Yue'er!" Qiao Xuan took a deep breath, he thought that he was by this stinky boy, that day and Yue'er were not in Zhou Yu's mansion at all, but in the mansion of Old Madam Wu and Miss Sun, sleeping with Old Madam Wu and Miss Sun.
"Haha, old stick, do you think I just met Yue'er?" Liu Mang sneered at Qiao Xuan. "Actually, Yue'er and I have known each other for a long time."
"Daydreaming, you, you and Yue'er have known each other for a long time? Hehe, when you and your father-in-law came to Yangzhou, my Qiao family had already moved to Jiangdong, and you still knew Yue'er? Don't laugh! Qiao Xuan sneered at Liu Mang.
"Haha, old stick, I'll just say you don't know, Yue'er and I met in Shu County, in the middle of the Lujiang River!" Liu Mang said provocatively at Qiao Xuan.
"Lushu County?" Qiao Xuan's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhou Yu.
"Then Yue'er and Yu'er went to find Gong Jin together, I wanted to go to Gong Jin's hometown to see, I met a tiger halfway, and the guard was bitten by a tiger, if I hadn't been marching by at that time, maybe your daughter would have been dead a long time ago!" Liu Mang said to Qiao Xuan.
"Looking for Gongjin?" Old man Qiao finally remembered one thing, that is, once again, Qiao Yue and Qiao Yu, the two sisters, said that they wanted to go out on an outing with Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu hadn't covered up with them, but he didn't expect to go to Lujiang?
Qiao Xuan couldn't help but look at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu could only nod with a wry smile, that time it was Qiao Yue, a little girl, who used her own name and ran out, Zhou Yu had no choice but to help him lie. Later, it was indeed Liu Mang, the king of Shu, who sent these two girls back to Jiangdong.
"As early as that time, we had already made a private decision for life, and Yue'er was my woman as early as that time!" Liu Mang persecuted Qiao Xuan sentence by sentence. "Old stick, you have to marry this daughter, you have to marry or not!"
"Impossible, impossible!" Qiao Xuan's face was already flushed, their Qiao family's tutor was so strict, how could it be possible, Qiao Xuan had doubts about his tutor for the first time, and it was also him Qiao Xuan's peach and plum all over the world, but in the end, his daughter was not taught well.
"You, you, you, me, me, me!" Qiao Xuan is simply a speechman.
Liu Mang looked at this old man Qiao with a smile, this old man Qiao likes face the most, as long as he Liu Mang is shameless enough. As long as Liu Mang dares to speak. Then this old stick must be loosened. As long as he works harder, this old stick will have to marry his daughter to himself.
"Father, father, don't listen to his nonsense!" Just when Liu Mang was about to succeed and the old stick was about to loosen his mouth, an uninvited guest came uninvited, and a woman in white rushed into the study and ran to her father Qiao Xuan's side.
"Yue'er!" Liu Mang's face was happy, and he saw Qiao Yue say goodbye since the last time. He slept at night thinking about Qiao Yue.
Qiao Yue glared at Liu Mang fiercely, and then said to her father, "Father, don't listen to his nonsense, nothing happened to me and him!" "Okay, I didn't get started, so I sold my future husband.
"I'll just say, I'll say! How can our family Yue'er have anything to do with you, a despicable and shameless person! Over there, Qiao Xuan's face turned rosy again.
"Old stick!" Liu Mang also gritted his teeth, a shameless man, "Hmph, even if Yue'er is not my woman, but I have a skin-to-skin relationship with him!" "Liu Mang just wants to disgust Qiao Xuan to death.
"You!" Qiao Xuan pointed at Liu Mang and was speechless.
"I don't believe you asked Yue'er, was it me who carried him out of the forest in the first place!" Liu Mang said to Qiao Xuan.
"Say less!" Qiao Yue was dissatisfied with Liu Mang, but Qiao Yue did not refute. Because that's the truth.
"So you still have to marry your daughter to me!" Liu Mang said to Qiao Xuan.
"If you don't have a wife, you don't want to think about it!" Qiao Xuan still grabbed it and didn't let go.
"Old stick, I see. I understand, you don't care about Yue'er's happiness at all, what you care about is your reputation, it's the reputation of your Qiao family! Liu Mang blamed Qiao Xuan.
"I didn't!" Qiao Xuan retorted loudly,
"Not yet? Hmph, then why don't you let Yue'er marry me? Liu Mang asked questioningly.
"That's because I don't want Yue'er to marry a shameless person like you."
"Okay, even if I'm shameless or despicable, but Yue'er will be happy with me, and we will be happy!" Liu Mang said to Qiao Xuan.
"The two are happy, who said it, Yue'er doesn't like you!" Qiao Xuan wanted Yue'er to admit that he didn't like Liu Mang, but when he saw Yue'er's blushing face, he knew that he might have miscalculated.
"Look, Yue'er has admitted it! Old stick, for the sake of your reputation and the reputation of your Qiao family, you have already forced one of your daughters to death, do you still want to force your other daughter to death! Liu Mang yelled at Qiao Xuan.
"I didn't, I didn't! Yu'er was killed by you, forced to death by you, and forced to death by your Yangzhou army! Qiao Xuan suddenly changed his expression and yelled at Liu Mang.
"Yes, I forced her to die, if Yu'er had been captured, she had survived and returned to Jiangdong, would you Qiao Xuan still recognize her as her daughter! No, you Qiao Xuan will never recognize Yu'er for the sake of the reputation of the Qiao family, and you don't want a dead daughter or a living humiliated daughter. Liu Mang pointed at Qiao Xuan and scolded loudly.
"At the beginning, I thought that Qiao Xuan, who was upright and not afraid of authority, was a generation of Confucianism and was extraordinary, but I was wrong, this Qiao Xuan is a hypocrite at all, there is no difference between him and all living beings, others seek profit and you seek fame!" Liu Mang did not hesitate to reprimand Qiao Xuan.
"For the sake of fame, you have killed your son, and your daughter is also dead, leaving such a little daughter, do you want her to die?" It's not that Liu Mang is cruel, but some things must be lifted, otherwise Qiao Xuan will continue like this, and some people are stubborn, which is more terrible than anything else.
When Qiao Xuan's youngest son was ten years old, he went out to play alone, and suddenly three people kidnapped him with sticks, entered the pavilion in Qiao Xuan's house, and asked Qiao Xuan to ransom people with money, but Qiao Xuan did not agree. Soon, Sili Captain Yangqiu led Henan Yin and Luoyang County to besiege Qiaofu. Yang Qiu and the others were worried that the robbers would kill Qiao Xuan's son, so they did not order to chase the robbers. Qiao Xuan said loudly: "The person who commits the crime has no humanity, how can I condone the criminals of the country because of the life of a son!" "Urging the order to pursue. Yang Qiu then attacked the robbers, and Qiao Xuan's son also died.
He then met with Emperor Ling to apologize for his crimes, and asked Emperor Ling to give an order to the world: "Anyone who takes hostages will be killed, and no treasure shall be used to redeem the hostages, so that the criminals can be profitable." So the edict issued this order. At first, after Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, the law gradually lost its effectiveness, and those who took hostages in the capital did not care whether the other party was a wealthy official or not. Since Qiao Xuan's incident, this kind of thing has not happened again.
Although this reflects Qiao Xuan's uprightness, it also reflects that Qiao Xuan loves his name too much. He has a reputation and a reputation. The huge prestige made him Qiao Xuan indeed set an example for the Han. But it was also because of fame that his son died, and his eldest daughter was martyred. If it goes on like this, Qiao Yue will only have a dead end.
Aren't you tired of fame? In the true sense of the word, the family is ruined.
"No, no, I'm not, I'm not!" Qiao Xuan shook his head violently.
"Is fame really that important? More important than family affection? More important than your own children? If Yue'er is also martyred because of your Qiao Xuan's reputation, what will you Qiao Xuan have left? Is there just a bunch of fame and a lonely man? β
"No, I'm not. I said I wasn't! Qiao Xuan grabbed his hair and shouted.
"Hanyang?" Over there, Qiao Yue also shouted at Liu Mang, she looked at Liu Mang pitifully, hoping that Liu Mang would stop. Because if he continues to talk like this, Qiao Xuan is really going to be killed by Liu Mang's shame.
Liu Mang took a deep breath, Qiao Yue's face he had to give, "Gong Qiao, you said you weren't, then I'll give you a chance to prove it, if there is such a chance, if Yu'er was captured, she survived and returned to Jiangdong, you Gong Qiao would still recognize her as his daughter!" Liu Mang asked Qiao Xuan softly.
Qiao Xuan's face was struggling, "Yu'er." Yu'er! Qiao Xuan's face was very uncomfortable, and his thoughts were colliding. On the one hand, there is his closest relative, and on the other hand, his own reputation, which one, which one is the most important.
"Qiao Gong, do you know? There is a saying in our hometown that death is to save face and suffer sin, in this world, only one's relatives should be the most important, not face! β
"Yu'er, meet your father!" Liu Mang said to a men's entourage behind him.
"Yu'er?" Zhou Yu and the others all widened their eyes, as if they didn't understand what Liu Mang was talking about.
"Father, long time no see!" The men's entourage behind Liu Mang spread his hair out, removed the beard on his face, and walked in front of Qiao Xuan Qiao Yue, his appearance was a little more mature than Qiao Yue, but his eyes were very imaginary with Qiao Xuan, isn't this the elder sister of the Qiao family, Da Qiao Qiaoyu.
"Sister!" Although Qiao Yue knew that her sister was still alive, she had never seen her sister, and now that she finally saw it, she couldn't help crying with joy and pounced on her sister. "Sister! Yue'er misses you so much, I miss you so much! β
"Big Joe?" Zhou Yu didn't know what kind of attitude he used to face Da Qiao, because Da Qiao was married to Sun Ce at the beginning, and after Da Qiao was martyred, Zhou Yu still faced Sun Ce with a lot of guilt. Now that Da Qiao has appeared again, it seems that he still has a great relationship with His Royal Highness the King of Shu, which makes Zhou Yu even more uncomfortable, after all, this used to be his sister-in-law.
"Gong Jin, I already knew about this matter!" Another person stepped into the study.
'Big brother! "Zhou Yu saw that the person who came, isn't it Sun Ce and Sun Bofu." You guys? Zhou Yu became more and more confused.
"Lord!" Sun Ce saw Liu Mang hugging his fist at Liu Mang. "I'll explain it to you later!" Liu Mang nodded.
This Sun Ce was called by Liu Mang, Qiao Yu's identity has always been hidden and unfair to Qiao Yu, Liu Mang doesn't want Qiao Yu to live in the dark all the time, he can't see his father, and he can't go back to his home, so Liu Mang is ready to confess, as for Sun Ce? As early as when Sun Quan wanted to make rice, Liu Mang sent a letter to Sun Ce to tell Sun Ce that Sun Quan was going to rebel, and also told Sun Ce that this is the time Qiao Yu owes you, and from now on they will not owe each other.
"Silly girl! Silly girl! Qiao Yu patted Qiao Yue's back and comforted Qiao Yue, "Sister misses you too!" β
"Sister, why don't you go to Jiangdong to see us, why!" Qiao Yue asked cryingly.
"Sister, me, hey!" Qiao Yu also wants to go back to see her sister and her father, but is it useful?
"Jade, Jade! No, Yu'er is dead, already dead, you are not Yu'er! Not Yu'er! Qiao Xuan still couldn't believe it.
"Father, he's a sister, he's a sister!" Qiao Yue said to Qiao Xuan.
"No, he's not!" Qiao Xuan shouted loudly.
"Father, you still don't want to recognize me!" Qiao Yu's heart was very bitter.
"My Yu'er is dead!"
"Then you still know this father!" Qiao Yu took out a piece of beautiful jade from his neck, which was not carved on this jade pendant, but was purely natural. Above it is a naturally formed jade character. Over there, Qiao Yue also took out a jade artifact of the same texture. It was a crescent moon.
Qiao Yue and Qiao Yu are because of these two jade pendants.
"Yu'er, you really are Yu'er! Qiao Xuan became bitter: "Am I really wrong?" Qiao Xuan was questioning himself, he had indeed sacrificed too much for fame, his son, the only male in his Qiao family, died because he cherished fame, if he had a little bit of silhouette heart, a trace of his father's selfishness, he would not have died, and now Qiao Yu is back. Qiao Xuan's heart was full of joy, but he fell into incomparable melancholy. Is he really wrong?
"Hey!" Liu Mang sighed, he stepped forward, grabbed Qiao Yu's hand, and put it into Qiao Xuan's hand.
"Gong Qiao, she is your daughter, your eldest daughter Qiao Yu, he didn't die, it's just because of your fame and the reputation of your Qiao family, so he can only have a home and can't go back. I can't admit my father! Liu Mang said to Qiao Xuan, although he hated this little old man very much, Liu Mang knew that he was still his father-in-law. No matter how you say it, you can be regarded as an elder.
"Yu'er, it's really Yu'er! My daughter" Qiao Xuan finally relented, and he began to recognize Qiao Yu.
"Father, father!" Qiao Yu also had tears on his face and cried in Qiao Xuan's arms.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, do you think I'm really wrong?" Qiao Xuan's attitude towards Liu Mang changed, and he asked Liu Mang, because a person's outlook on life and values have been formed, once they are destroyed, the whole person is confused.
"No, Gong Qiao, you're right!" Liu Mang also smiled, the old stick finally got his senses.
"Am I right? But I killed Ren'er, and Yu'er couldn't go back to her home, and even hurt Yue'er! Qiao Xuan is very conflicted.
"Qiao Gong, the world is bustling, all for profit. The world is crowded, all for profit, what Taishi Gong said is the right way in the world, fame and fortune are what everyone is pursuing, Mi Zhu is pursuing wealth, I am pursuing power, Qiao Gong, what you are pursuing is fame, everyone is struggling in these! There is no right or wrong, only a pass or a pass! β
"Too much?" Qiao Xuan also seemed to realize something, and said indifferently.
"Gong Qiao. Your two daughters? Liu Mang asked Qiao Xuan.
"Marry it, marry it!" Qiao Xuan can be regarded as seeing it now, his reputation is too high, and it is not as good as having children and grandchildren, and no matter how high his reputation is, it is not as good as a family reunion.
"What about the wife?" Liu Mang asked again.
"You're all ready, and you're still asking me?" Qiao Xuan sneered at Liu Mang.
"Huh!" Liu Mang could only smile embarrassedly, he could still call the old stick just now, but now he can only call his father-in-law, "Father-in-law, you gave me your pearl in the palm of your hand, then I will return the favor and give you a pretending to be rich!" "Liu Mang is repaying the favor.
"Hmph, do you think I care about those money officials?" Qiao Xuan thought that Liu Mang was going to send money or send an official to Qiao Xuan.
"Those things are so vulgar, how can the gifts I want to give to your father-in-law be compared to those vulgar things!" Liu Mang laughed.
"Oh?" Qiao Xuan was really a little interested, and asked Liu Mang, "Take it out and take a look!" β
"Come on, bring me the present!" Liu Mang said to Guan Hai and the others under him.
"Yes!" Guan Hai took out a package, opened it from the package and took out a book.
"Yes, I know I like books!" Qiao Xuan nodded, if Liu Mang sent money, maybe Qiao Xuan would slap him in the face, but if he sent books, it would be different, they were scribes, and scribes were unhappy without books.
"Qiao Gong, this is not an ordinary book!" Liu Mang smiled and looked at Qiao Xuan and said.
"Huh?" Qiao Xuan took the book suspiciously, only to see that there were four big characters written on it, "Qiao Gong's Annotation".
"These?" Qiao Xuan's eyes widened and he rolled them over, only to see that what was written on it were all the records left by his own reading, and there were also some of his own views on personnel and military affairs, all of which were now sorted out and included in such a book.
"His Royal Highness the King of Lao Shu has bothered!" Qiao Xuan is still a little grateful, Qiao Xuan's character records are very miscellaneous, but today it was compiled into a book by Liu Mang, and the words are not bad, it is false to say that he is not grateful.
"Qiao Gong, don't worry, this is the first book, and there are still these! : Saying that, Liu Mang took out two or three books from the package and gave them to Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan looked at them, all of them were annotated by Qiao Gong.
"Huh?" At this moment, Qiao Xuan's eyes were completely bright, the content of these books was the same, there was no difference. It was precisely because of this that Qiao Xuan's eyes completely lit up.
Qiao Xuan took these books to his nose and sniffed them, "It's a heavy smell of ink." Did these books just be copied? Qiao Xuan asked suspiciously.
"Gong Qiao, you're only half right!" Liu Mang said to Qiao Xuan with a smile.
"Huh?" Qiao Xuan looked at Liu Mang suspiciously.
"Come on. Let's move the box! Liu Mang waved his hand, and two more sergeants walked in with a large box on a flat shoulder.
": Open them!" Liu Mang shouted to the sergeant under his hand.
"Yes!" Soon the big box was opened, and it was full of books.
Qiao Xuan hurriedly ran over, flipping through one after another, all of them were at least hundreds of books in his box of "Qiao Gong's Annotations".
"These are all transcriptions?" Qiao Xuan's eyes widened as if he wanted an answer, if there were two copies of one book, then it would be almost enough to send two or three people to copy them for three or four hours, but these were more than a hundred. It takes a lot of work.
"Gong Qiao, do you think that if it is a copy, there will be two books with the same handwriting?" Liu Mang asked Qiao Xuan with a smile.
"And what is this?" Qiao Xuan became more and more confused, and the more he doubted, his heart was like itching.
"These books were just printed!" Zhou Cang on the side helped Liu Mang answer.
"Printed?" Qiao Xuan didn't understand.
"It's just like those official seals, as soon as you press it, it will become a book!" Zhou Cang said it vulgarly, but it was really easy for people to understand.
This page of the book, how many seals do you get, according to Qiao Xuan's thoughts, this page of the book probably has a seal, the entire Qiao Gong annotated. There are hundreds of pages on it, and how many seals do you need?
"It's worth so much. Qiao Gong, your annotations are a total of 120,000 words, remove those same, that is, more than 500 commonly used words, I carved a seal for each word, this one, I typeset those seals according to what was written in the book, and then printed them, and so on, to the next page, and then disassembled, and then re-typeset, this book became and these books, a total of two hours of talk! Liu Mang said to Qiao Xuan.
"Two hours, hundreds of books?" Qiao Xuan suddenly felt that his brain was not enough, if he copied one in two hours, it would be enough, if it was hundreds, it was simply unimaginable.
"Qiao Gong's book printing, I am going to teach Qiao Gong to you, I don't know if Qiao Gong can share some pressure for his son-in-law?" Liu Mang looked at Qiao Xuan with a smile.
"This is not good!" Qiao Xuan was not shirking, but embarrassed, because he knew that this was simply a great achievement, and it could even be said to be a thing that would definitely leave a name in history.
Because if what Liu Mang, the king of Shu, said is true, hundreds of books can be made in just two hours, then the books that were originally as expensive as gold in this world will really fly into the homes of ordinary people, and those poor children will really be able to read, so how many readers are there in the world, and who are those readers most grateful to, I am afraid that it is the person who printed the books.
His Qiao Xuan's prestige has really reached a peak.
"It's all a family, why bother dividing you and me! You gave me all the pearls in your palm, and I naturally want to give Qiao Gong a satisfactory answer! β
"Satisfied, satisfied haha!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, "Old stick (stinky boy)"
β¦β¦
In Zhuge Liang's mansion.
Zhuge Liang took the three thousand gold that Liu Mang gave him, and smiled, he just put two thousand gold in the Liuxiang Pavilion to pay off the previous three hundred gold and 1,700 gold, which is enough for him Zhuge Liang to enjoy it, as for the 1,000 gold in his hand, Zhuge Liang is a little reluctant, this is to be handed over.
Seeing that his wife was coming, Zhuge Liang stepped forward and said to his wife, "Madam, this is a salary of 1,000 gold, please put him away!" β
"Salary?" Mrs. Huang frowned: "Didn't your salary last month be deducted by the lord?" β
"Huh? Zifang didn't sue you? β
"He said it, he said that your money was indeed deducted by the lord!"
"What!" Zhuge Liang's eyes darkened.
"How can there be any money? A thousand gold? Are you hiding your money behind my back? "Madame Huang's eyes are like torches.
"Say, where is the money!"
"Madam, wronged, madame wronged! Mi Zifang, you remember it for me! (To be continued......)
