Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping said in unison: "Please give me your name."
Liu Xin had been deprived of the right to choose a name at home, and she was even more impulsive in this regard outside. She immediately said boldly: "I think it is better to call it Shuangping Racecourse. It means peace in the world and a safe life for good people."
In fact, others just took one character from their surnames, and he took one character from each other's name. This level is only half a dozen. However, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping applauded one after another and said in unison: "
Then how about we ask you to inscribe a plaque for us?"
Liu Xin couldn't help but think of the strange looks from the father and daughter when they were writing the Jiugongge at Cai Yong's house that day. She quickly declined and said: "I have something to do in my house and I can't stay for a long time. You can find someone else." After saying that, he ran away.
.
The request for Liu Xin to write an inscription was not completed. Although the business at the racecourse was tepid, he could always sell a few horses every now and then. Seeing that the horse selling business could still continue in Xiangyang, Su Shuang,
Zhang Shiping gradually felt at ease, not to mention that he could make a small profit every time he brought some goods back from Xiangyang. In fact, what they didn't know was that most of the horses sold were Liu Xin who secretly went to Chencang and arranged for people to buy them quietly.
, now these horses have been sneaked into the military camp.
Liu Xin very skillfully controlled the speed at which Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping could sell horses, basically ensuring that they would sell out all the horses they trafficked in about three months. In this way, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping could sell three to four horses in a year.
times, Liu Xin could quietly add 3,000 war horses every year without showing off the mountains and rivers, without having to bear the risks in the transportation process.
More and more aristocratic families have begun to purchase land and build houses in new urban areas. As for ordinary people, the government will allocate them corresponding land and funds according to the size of the houses they currently live in for them to build their own houses. The only requirement is
Newly built houses must use extensive masonry structures. As the popularity of the new urban area increased, Liu Xin instructed Kuai Liang to launch the third and fourth batch of shops in a timely manner, all of which were sold at auction. Although these two auctions will never be completed again.
There is no sky-high price like 9.5 million yuan, but the lowest price is not less than 1.5 million yuan. As early as more than a year ago, Liu Xin began secretly planning the real estate development, and it has finally reached the harvest season.
.
May and June are the summer vacations set by Liu Xin. Except for a few teachers who stayed at the academy, all the students have gone home, and Liu Xin and Cai Yong no longer need to teach in the academy.
The Prefectural Mufu was facing a formidable enemy, so Zhang Ji sent over several of the most skilled midwives from the medical school. This was Ma Yun's second child, and Liu Xin still couldn't let go, just like last time.
They kept spinning around outside the delivery room. Fortunately, Ma Yun's delivery went extremely smoothly this time. The midwives were busy for less than an hour when they heard the baby's loud cry of "Wow" coming from the room.
Cai Yong is practicing calligraphy in his study room at home. Liu Xin and Ma Yun would be surprised if they saw what he wrote. Cai Yong wrote "Qingyi Fu", which is a masterpiece of Cai Yong's youth.
He confessed his love for a beautiful woman from a humble background in a bold and straightforward style, which could be said to be shocking and unique at the time. However, in the eyes of modern Liu Xin and Ma Yun, such content was too commonplace.
What really shocked them was the font used by Cai Yong. If they saw it, they would definitely exclaim: regular script!
Yes, Cai Yong now writes in regular script. This is also beneficial to Liu Xin and Ma Yun. When they lectured in the academy, they were different from the teachers of that era. Instead, they were accustomed to using special chalk to write on the blackboard, and the blackboard writing used
It’s regular script. Cai Yong thought about it carefully and realized that
Such a font is very distinctive, with neat and well-proportioned strokes and dignified and square shapes. When he had nothing to do in the summer, Cai Yong tried to write at home, and the results were out of control. After repeated writing and pondering by such a calligrapher,
, the standard regular script came out a hundred years in advance.
Cai Yong was proud of his calligraphy work when Mrs. Cai hurried in from outside. Mrs. Cai was not his first wife, she was nearly twenty years younger than him. Cai Yong did not leave any wives or concubines in the previous houses for him.
next man
Half a daughter, and died young one after another, including the heroine of "Qingyi Fu", leaving only Mrs. Cai to accompany him through more than ten spring and autumn years, and also gave birth to Cai Yan for him, which made both the couple proud.
The talented and beautiful daughter.
Mrs. Cai was not particularly interested in his calligraphy works. She glanced at them and said, "Sir, I just went to Master Zhou Mu's house."
Cai Yong stopped writing and asked with a surprised expression: "What are you doing in the Lord's house?"
Mrs. Cai said with a mysterious face: "I heard something at your residence today. Mrs. Zhou Mu gave birth..."
Cai Yong interrupted her and said, "Oh, she gave birth? Is it a boy or a girl?"
Mrs. Cai knew her husband's problem, which was that he never had a son. She also secretly felt guilty that her stomach was not living up to expectations. Her face could not help but feel slightly hot, and she muttered: "It's a boy. I heard..."
Cai Yong couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart. Before Mrs. Cai could finish speaking, he interrupted her again and said, "It's really possible to give birth. This is already his third son."
The feudal ideas of men being superior to women and having no heirs being the most powerful have long been deeply implanted in his heart. Even in the memorials he wrote to the emperor, he mentioned that he had no heirs many times. In Cai Yong's eyes, no matter how outstanding his daughter Cai Yan is,
It is far less happy than having multiple sons. Unfortunately, as he grows older, all this can only become a dream.
Mrs. Cai was so unhappy with what he said that she blushed and said, "Master, that's not what I'm talking about. I heard that the child's name was given by Mrs. Zhou Mu, and it's called Ma Fan."
Cai Yong knew that Ma Yun was also a talented woman. It seemed that Liu Yu's name was given by her, so he didn't feel anything strange. When he heard the last word, a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face and he asked: "What?
?What are you talking about? This child’s surname is Ma? The Lord is willing to let his son take the surname of Ma after his wife!”
But I heard Mrs. Cai continue to say: "Master, that's not all. Mr. Zhou Mu's second wife is about to give birth. I heard them say today that as long as the second wife is willing, the child can be named Bian. And that Zhu family,
It seems that she is six or seven months pregnant. It is said that the child can still bear her surname Zhu after birth. Master, do you think this is a huge curiosity?"
Cai Yong seemed to be stunned. He didn't know when the brush in his hand fell on the table. The ink splashed on the paper, making a mess of a good piece of calligraphy. He murmured: "Strange news, really strange news."
Ah! Forget it, why bother, the surnames of his children have nothing to do with me."
He pretended to be calm on the surface, but in his heart it was as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle. All kinds of tastes, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, came to his mind. Cai Yong knew better than anyone else that as early as on the way from Luoyang to Jingzhou, his daughter had a crush on Liu Xin.
With such an idea, if her father hadn't been a hindrance, she would have given birth by now. If she could give birth to a boy, wouldn't she be able to have a wife and no longer have to worry about being embarrassed to see her ancestors after death?
. One wrong step, one wrong step after another, Cai Yong shook his head helplessly, there is no regret medicine in the world!
Half a month later, the state pastoral office became nervous again. Bian Yu was in labor. The amniotic fluid broke in the early morning. The midwives were busy all morning, but the baby was not born yet. Liu Xin listened outside the door and heard a sound coming from inside.
Groaning in pain, his heart clenched tighter and tighter, and he cursed secretly in his heart, if modern medical technology was available and a caesarean section was available, how could he suffer this pain? They said that giving birth to a child is a hurdle for a woman, and he felt it now.
Ma Yun had just fed the baby and came outside the delivery room. She was here and knew the pain of giving birth, so she was very worried about Bian Yu. Tian Feng and the wives of the two gentlemen Jushu also came to inquire about the news.
Liu Xin, who was waiting outside the room, could no longer stay and took refuge in the study.
At this time, Mrs. Cai and her daughter also came over to visit. Although Liu Xin had been on summer vacation recently, Liu Xin did not have to go to the academy to teach, but there were so many things going on in the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion that two women were giving birth, so how could he have much thought for Liu Xin?
Rui told stories. In addition, Zhu Qian's belly was getting bigger day by day. Liu Rui looked forward to her mother giving her a little brother or sister as soon as possible, and no longer pestered Liu Xin to listen to stories. So, this "Journey to the West"
Notes" stopped updating for many days. Ma Yun was busy nursing the baby, so naturally she didn't have much time to talk to Cai Yan. Liu Rui had no new stories to tell. As a result, Cai Yan had no suitable reason to talk to Cai Yan every day.
I ran to the Prefectural Mufu, but she hadn't been there for more than ten days.
Bian Yu was still shouting loudly inside, which made people feel uncomfortable. Ma Yun turned her head and saw Cai Yan's face was very pale. She remembered that she was not suitable to stay here, so she said: "Sister Zhaoji, it has been several days."
I didn't see you coming, so come with me to see the baby."
Cai Yan looked at her mother. Madam Cai understood what Ma Yun meant, pushed her and said, "Since Madam invites you, you can go."
There were many big trees planted in the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion. Ma Yun took Cai Yan and walked under the shade of the trees for a while. Looking back, she saw that her face had not improved and she was not talking much along the way. She couldn't help but asked with concern: "Zhao
Sister Ji, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Cai Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly had red eyes and shed two lines of tears. He bit his lips lightly and shook his head, but still did not speak.
Ma Yun was a little strange and didn't understand why she was crying, so she asked: "Did Yu'er's reaction just now be too big and scare you?"
Cai Yan said softly with some choking: "No, it didn't scare me."
Ma Yun was even more surprised and continued to ask: "Then why are you crying?"
Cai Yan couldn't control herself anymore. She lay on Ma Yun's shoulder, cried loudly, and said, "Sister, I have fallen in love with Mr. Liu."
