Chapter 18: Secret Words
After listening to Guan Suo's words, the Hu family and the Cui family suddenly had an epiphany, it turned out that Zhang Fei rushed from Bashu to Jingzhou in order to be a matchmaker for the eldest son of the king of Hanzhong.
The two had already looked at Liu Dou carefully, and saw that he was burly and dignified, although his skin was slightly rougher, not as fine and tender as the pampered son, but he looked more manly.
What's more, this young man is the eldest son of the king of Hanzhong, and it is possible to inherit the throne in the future, and the two ladies Hu and Cui are naturally happy to do this family business.
The only thing that worries Cui's is that Liu Dou looks like he is in his twenties, and at this age it is estimated that he has already started a family, is it difficult to let his daughter do a partial house?
Even if he is willing, he is afraid that his arrogant daughter is not willing, if he refuses to offend Zhang Fei and does not say anything, won't he also offend the king of Hanzhong?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cui became worried again.
Seeing Yang walking in with a warm wine jug, he ordered: "Yinping, pour wine for your third uncle and eldest son." ”
Zhang Fei also glared at Guan Yinping, and said angrily: "Don't shout at your brother, the man should marry the woman and get married, is it possible that you will not marry in your life?"
When Zhang Fei was still in Jingzhou, he often instructed Guan Yinping martial arts, so the relationship between the uncle and niece was very good.
Guan Yinping Bingxue was smart, took the wine jug and poured it full of wine for Zhang Fei with a smile, and poured it full for Liu Dou, and said modestly, "The third uncle is worried about his niece's marriage, and Yinping is grateful." But the eldest son is a talent, and Yinping only knows how to dance knives and guns, so I'm afraid he is not worthy of his son. ”
"Huh. ”
Liu Dou was not in a hurry to express his position, he laughed, raised the wine and drank it all, and praised it repeatedly, "Good wine." ”
"Haha...... The wine poured by my niece on the silver screen is not delicious. ”
Zhang Fei laughed and also raised the wine and drank it, and reached out to burst a chestnut on the bridge of Guan Suo's nose, "Hehe...... When the third uncle went to Bashu, your kid was only ten years old, and in a blink of an eye, he was similar to the third uncle. It's just that your body is a little thin, don't study well at a young age, learn more from your promoted brother. ”
Guan Suo hurriedly clasped his fists at Liu Dou and saluted: "Junior brother Guan Weizhi, I have seen the eldest son." ”
"You don't have to be polite. ”
Liu Dou hurriedly returned the salute, this brother-in-law looks very clever, he just looks overindulgent, is it that he has already messed with flowers and grass everywhere at a young age?
After the uncle and nephew finished fighting, Hu Shi spoke: "Uncle, Adou, this child looks like he is twenty years old, right?
Zhang Fei picked up a piece of fat meat with chopsticks, sucked it into his mouth at once, and instructed Liu Doudao, "Big nephew, you tell the two sisters-in-law and Yinping what happened to you over the years." ”
After a pause, he solemnly added: "Two sisters-in-law, I Zhang patted his chest to pack tickets for you, Adou not only didn't marry a wife, but he didn't even touch a woman's hand." ”
Hu and Cui both laughed awkwardly: "Uncle said he was laughing." ”
"Wow. ”
Liu Dou agreed, also drank all the wine, and then cleared his throat and told the two ladies Hu and Cui about what happened to him.
Hu was kind-hearted, and when he heard the sad words, he couldn't help but think of his past and couldn't help wiping away his tears.
"What a poor boy, fortunately, he has finally regained his intelligence, and he will come to the bitter end. ”
Hearing that Liu Dou had not yet married a wife, Cui's hanging heart also relaxed, and the more he looked at Liu Dou, the more he liked it.
The young man was born tall and large, with a dignified appearance and a loud voice, and at first glance he was a loyal person.
Even if he can't inherit the title of King of Hanzhong in the future, glory and wealth are indispensable, if this marriage can really be done, the daughter's picks and choices over the years are worth it.
Guan Yinping is also deeply sympathetic to Liu Dou's life experience, and he is the son of the king of Hanzhong, his father and his father are sworn brothers, and there is a third uncle as a matchmaker, but he is afraid that this marriage will not be pushed off, so he secretly looks at Liu Dou from time to time.
In addition to satisfying Guan Yinping with his figure and appearance, Liu Dou's demeanor and speech also satisfied her.
Speaking in a low tone, heartbroken when sad, and indignant when angry, he looks like a bright and upright gentleman, is this the wishful gentleman he has been waiting for?
After Liu Dou finished telling the story that happened to him, the two of them had already drunk more than half of the pot of wine.
Zhang Fei took over the conversation and said: "Two sisters-in-law, I think that Adou, the child is a talent, and the silver screen is waiting for the boudoir, so I have the heart to match the two." ”
took a sip of the teacup, and the conversation changed: "However, when I came to Jingzhou on the starry night this time, I have more important things to do, and I will talk about this marriage when I meet my second brother." ”
Then instructed Liu Dou: "Adou, tell the two aunts about the Mi and Fu thieves you discovered." ”
"Wow. ”
Liu Dou respectfully agreed, told his fictional story again, and finally said, "It's a pity that my nephew lost the letter, and I can't let Mi Fang bow down and confess, so I have to go to Bajun to find the third uncle and let him come to Jingzhou to preside over the overall situation." ”
"Ah...... How's that okay?"
When Hu Jinding and Cui Yue'e heard this, they were both stunned and at a loss for a while.
Hu Shi wept at Zhang Fei and said: "The concubine has repeatedly admonished your second brother that Mi Zifang is the king's wife and uncle, and he is the Taishou of Nanjun, so it is not appropriate to offend." But your second brother didn't listen, and he was in the same boat as Mi Zi, and even severely punished Mi and Fu when the class teacher came back before the expedition, which forced the two to commit treason, how can this be good?"
"Auntie, what you said is not right. ”
Guan Yinping was dissatisfied with Hu's complaints, and immediately got up to refute Hu Jinding and argued for his father.
"Mi and Fu have a nest of thieves and rats, and they have a nest of snakes and rats, and they have tightened their father's Northern Expedition, and even burned grain and grass. As the chief general of Jingzhou, it is also within his duty to reprimand them. These two thieves are ungrateful, collaborating with the enemy and treason, how can they blame their father?"
Liu Dou also helped Guan Yinping speak: "Sister Yinping is reasonable, because the two thieves of Nami and Fu burned grain and grass, no matter how the second uncle treats them, they will all commit treason and surrender to Wu." Since the third uncle told me about this, he thought about it and speculated that there was only one reason. ”
"What is the reason?"
Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he asked impatiently.
Liu Dou's face was solemn, and his words were like iron: "Mi and Fu have been in the army for many years, and they are all half a hundred people, how could they make such a low-level mistake?
"No, my father was furious about this at that time, and he was so angry that he didn't sleep well for a long time. ”
Guan Yinping was very satisfied with Liu Dou's words for him, and his eyes gradually showed appreciation.
"The reason is that Mi and Fu deliberately burned the grain and grass, and this matter was intentional, and it was not an accidental fire. ”
Liu Dou said categorically and confidently.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yinping both showed puzzled expressions: "This is strange, why did the two thieves deliberately burn grain?"
Guan Suo was also confused, holding his chin with both hands and adoring him: "Are these two old men crazy? The food is not enough, and they even deliberately set fires? Are they going to test Daddy's patience, or do they think Daddy's knife is not moving?"
Hu Jinding and Cui Yue'e are both women's families, and they don't understand how powerful they are, so they can only listen to them.
Seeing that Guan Yinping was incarnating his fan sister, Liu Dou was even more energetic and talked eloquently.
"Then why did these two thieves deliberately burn the grain and grass?"
"There is only one answer, that is, Jingzhou's military rations were stolen and sold to Sun Wu by them, which did not match the accounts. ”
Therefore, the two thieves took the risk and deliberately burned down the granary, preferring to bear the responsibility of dereliction of duty rather than cover up the fact that they collaborated with the enemy. ”
After Guan Yinping listened, he couldn't help but high-five and praise, and hugged his fist at Liu Dou to salute: "The eldest son is really as wise as a torch, Yinping has always wondered about this matter, and he can't figure it out." Listening to my brother's words today is like an initiation. ”
"Mi Fang and Fu Shiren of the dog day, traitors who eat inside and outside!"
Zhang Fei was furious, and the case broke out, "I'm going to kill Mi Fang to vent my hatred!"
Liu Dou hurriedly grabbed the impulsive Zhang Fei: "Third uncle, don't be impatient, let's come all the way from Bashu to Jiangling, isn't it just to subdue Mi Fang and control Jiangling? Don't be impulsive, our family will think about it in the long term and think of a perfect plan." ”
The third uncle was angry. ”
Guan Yinping hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Fei pour tea, but he didn't dare to let him eat wine anymore, so as not to annoy his donkey temper, and no one could persuade him.
After Zhang Fei drank a cup of tea, the anger in his chest dissipated slightly, glanced at Hu and Cui, and said proudly: "Two sisters-in-law, how about you look at the husband selected by Yide Gang Yinping?"
Hu Jinding and Cui Yue'e laughed together: "The eldest son is really extraordinary, and he is not the son of the king." ”
Guan Suo slapped his palms and said with a smile: "It seems that my brother-in-law didn't run away!" Suo has never seen his sister admire someone so much since he was a child, hehe...... If my brother-in-law inherits the prince in the future and even becomes the emperor, he will make me a general. ”
"Guan Laosan, I think you are begging for a beating?"
Guan Yinping glared at Guan Suo, pretending to be angry, but he smiled in his heart.
This eldest son is not only dignified and talented, but also a smart and wise person on the inside, and it is undoubtedly a happy thing to associate with such a person.
"Ho...... It seems that the matchmaker of the third uncle is a bit redundant!"
Zhang Fei interrupted the Guan brothers and sisters who were bickering, and looked at Liu Dou: "Adou, since you dare to enter the city alone with the third uncle, you must already have an idea." Tell me and your aunt how to deal with Mi Fang?"
