Chapter 306 Curiosity

Liu Xin said "good" three times in a row, and her view of Fu Wan has changed greatly. Although Liu Xin has always treated Fu Wan like a sister and father-in-law since she met Fu Wan, in fact, they were just polite words on his lips, but he had no feelings for Fu Wan in his heart.

A little respect. Liu Hua is the eldest princess of Yang'an, the official wife of Emperor Heng of Han Dynasty. Liu Xin calls Fu Wan

Being a sister-in-law meant that he recognized Liu Hua's sister. In this way, his identity as a clan member of the Han Dynasty was even more certain. However, Liu Xin did not expect that Fu Wan could still be able to deal with the pain of losing his son.

It is very valuable to dissuade yourself from adding too much burden to the people.

Cheng Yu was already smiling at the side and said: "Master Fu, you are worrying too much. My lord has always hated the things like forcibly recruiting civilians and plundering people's property. To rebuild Chang'an, Luoyang will naturally need a lot of manpower, and recruiting civilians is also necessary.

It is inevitable, but my master will pay wages to all the people. Don’t worry, with the wealth of the entire Jingzhou as the backing, rebuilding two cities is just a trivial matter."

Fu Wan asked in surprise: "Is Jingzhou really so rich?"

Of course Liu Xin will not use money from Jingzhou's finances to rebuild Chang'an and Luoyang. After more than half a year of war, the burden on Jingzhou's treasury has been quite heavy, not to mention the direct consumption in the war, just the pensions for the casualties and their families.

It was a huge expense. The money and materials needed to rebuild these two cities could only be spent from the confiscated wealth of Dong Zhuo and others, but Liu Xin could not say it clearly, because the wealth of these people was also looted from the people's wealth.

Cheng Yu is naturally aware of these situations, and he said this to help Liu Xin. Moreover, Cheng Yu said that he would use Jingzhou's financial resources as a backing, rather than using Jingzhou's financial resources to rebuild Chang'an and Luoyang.

You will definitely get it wrong.

Liu Xin gave Cheng Yu a thumbs up and said to Fu Wan: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid you haven't been to Xiangyang yet. In this way, I will have someone escort you to Xiangyang tomorrow so that you can not only enjoy the scenery of Jingzhou, but also

You can reunite with your family and kill two birds with one stone, why not?"

Of course Fu Wan had no objection to this arrangement and was so grateful that he burst into tears.

After Wuguan was captured, the road from Chang'an to Xiangyang was smooth. Liu Xin accepted the advice of the counselors and took up residence in Chang'an. Although he could not return to Xiangyang in person, it did not prevent him from passing on information and intelligence back.

With Cao Cao's defeat and escape, Xiangyang City returned to its former bustle, even a bit more lively than before.

The three-day imperial examination is over, but the Confucian scholars, warriors, and craftsmen who came to take the examination are still in Xiangyang waiting for the final results. According to regulations, the list will be announced in seven days. The three-day examination is very exciting.

Exhausted mentally and physically, these people who took the exam naturally had to indulge themselves, so the business of the brothel and tavern became particularly good.

Not only that, the news that Xiangyang City encountered strong enemies twice and was safe and sound gradually spread. In troubled times, some wealthy nobles from surrounding counties and even other states began to think of moving to Xiangyang. The residences in Xiangyang and

The amount of land increased two or three times almost overnight, but demand still exceeds supply. After all, for these wealthy people, their lives are more important. It is more practical to find a safe place than to make a lot of money.

Much more.

Ma Yun's mood gradually relaxed. When the news of Cao Cao's defeat spread out, it is estimated that no blind prince would dare to come to Xiangyang. And Liu Rui, who worried her the most, was escorted by Sun Ce.

Returned to Xiangyang safely. Ma Yun originally wanted to severely punish Liu Rui for her willfulness, but considering that she had accidentally hit her, Zhao Yun instead let Zhao Yun steal Cao Cao's escape route, which was considered a meritorious service and only imprisoned her for two years.

Days of confinement.

Zhu Qian, who was worried a few days ago, was reluctant to leave her daughter at this time and said to Ma Yun: "Madam, Rui'er is very active by nature. I'm afraid she will get sick if she is locked up for two days. Please forgive her for her young age and ignorance."

Spare her this time."

Ma Yun sighed: "How can I say good to you? If I don't teach her a lesson this time, she will poke a hole in the sky next time and it will be too late to cry. I don't want to do this to her, I just want to let her out."

, you have to find a suitable reason, otherwise she will never remember the mistake she made this time."

While they were talking, Qiaoer ran in furiously and said loudly: "Madam, madam, there is a letter from the master!"

Ma Yun and Zhu Qian both said happily: "Where is the letter?"

Qiaoer hesitated and said: "There is only one letter from the master, and it is for the madam."

Ma Yun took the letter and took a look. There were only three Arabic numerals "520" written on the huge piece of paper. Ma Yun's face turned slightly red, and her eyes sparkled with crystal tears. This kind of number game was not popular in their original era.

It's not very popular anymore, but now I suddenly see it, but it gives me a different feeling.

Seeing Ma Yun silently looking at the letter, Qiaoer couldn't help but ask: "Madam, what did the master say in the letter?"

Ma Yun noticed that Zhu Qian was slightly depressed, so she gently closed the letter and asked calmly: "Nothing. Is there anything else?"

Qiao'er quickly handed over another brochure and said, "The master also asked people to bring back some jewelry for all the ladies. Even the maids have a share."

In fact, Zhu Qian has always understood that her identity cannot be compared with Ma Yun, but the child in her belly is about to be born, and after checking the pulse, it is likely to be a boy. Zhu Qian is worried about her

Liu Xin has lost her status in her heart, and this child will not be favored by Liu Xin in the future. The first few girls Zhu Qian gave birth to have not thought so much. After all, girls will get married one day, and boys

It's different. Even if she doesn't expect to inherit the title, she always hopes to share more of the family property. Ever since she found out she was pregnant with a boy, Zhu Qian's thoughts have undergone some slight changes.

Zhu Qian's mood calmed down when she heard that Liu Xin also brought jewelry to them. This showed that Liu Xin was still thinking about them. Naturally, the changes in the expression on Zhu Qian's face could not escape Ma Yun's eyes, but Ma Yun could not

Just say it out loud.

The jewelry recorded in the booklet were all selected by Liu Xin personally from the Taishi's Mansion in Chang'an. There were gold ornaments, pearls, agate and tortoise shells. Each piece of jewelry was rare and rare. Each piece of jewelry was noted behind it.

Whoever gave it to, even the girls who were married to each other, Qiao'er and Ying'er, also had a share. Among the several children, only Liu Rui was given a share, because Liu Rui was already in her hair and was a big girl waiting to be married, so she also needed it.

After dressing up, Liu Xin obviously put a lot of thought into it.

Ma Yun glanced at this point in a hurry, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said to Zhu Qian: "I have a way to get rid of Rui'er. The master clearly remembered this list. He also brought a few pieces of jewelry to Rui'er. How can you

Asking her to call Rui'er out in the name of trying on jewelry, I'll just pretend I don't know, that's fine."

Zhu Qian didn't expect that Liu Xin would remember to prepare some jewelry for Liu Rui, her stepdaughter, so she was overjoyed, agreed, and walked out happily.

Ma Yun continued to look and saw that Zhu Rong's name was also written on the list, but a pile of silver jewelry was prepared for her. Ma Yun nodded thoughtfully and said to Qiao'er: "What is Miss Zhu doing recently?"

?You go and invite her here."

Zhu Ge has a restless temper. The last time Ma Yun locked her up for three days, she even went to the martial arts training ground to fiddle with the flying halberd. Now everything is peaceful and she wants to sit in the mansion, but she really is.

It was a nerve-wracking thing. Ma Yun spent a lot of time before she came up with an idea to put her in charge of protecting the Queen of the Prefectural Mufu.

Zhu Rong also happily accepted the order and patrolled the backyard with her four cousins ​​in armor every day. It was precisely because of this "important task" that Cao Cao launched a large-scale attack on the courtyard.

At that time, Zhu Rong did not appear at the city gate, otherwise it would have given Ma Yun a headache.

Although she found a reason to tie Zhu Rong's body to the Zhou Mu's Mansion, she also allowed her to get familiar with the backyard of the Zhou Mu's Mansion. Zhu Rong has always been carefree and does not care too much about everything. His wives and children

I would rather get close to her.

Although she is the daughter of a barbarian leader, she grew up in a difficult environment. Zhu Rong also needs to master a lot of survival skills in the wild. In the state Mufu, he has no worries about food and clothing, so Zhu Rong's wild survival skills are naturally not needed, but for hunting

Her skills of house finches, poaching eggs, and fishing for frogs have become the link between her and Liu Yu's children. Even Liu Yu, who is quite wary of her, now follows her around after school and bites her one by one.

"Auntie" was called happily.

Over the past few days, she had visited almost all the courtyards of the Zhou Mu Mansion, but there were only two places she had never entered. One was the two-story building, which was not only the ancestral hall of the Liu family, but also the ancestral hall of the Liu family.

It holds many secrets about Liu Xin and Ma Yun. No one is allowed to enter except on important days. No matter how playful Zhu Rong is, he does not dare to violate this rule.

There is also a remote courtyard. The courtyard door is locked, but occasionally you will see maids bringing some food inside. These maids who deliver food do not enter the courtyard, but open a small window next to the courtyard door.

Open it, pass the food in, and take away some dishes.

Zhu Rong couldn't help but become curious, wondering if there was any important person involved here. She was too embarrassed to ask Ma Yun, so she instructed Zhu Yan to ask the maids in the mansion.

The maids were unwilling to tell Zhu Rong at first. Unable to withstand Zhu Yan's insistence, they gave him some small silver jewelry. Then they got some information and hurriedly came to tell Zhu Rong, saying: "Sister, I have found out clearly. Then

There are three girls in the yard who have been locked up for half a year. I heard that the master personally ordered them to be locked up."

Zhu Rong couldn't help but be stunned and said in surprise: "Half a year of confinement! I can't bear the three days of confinement Madam has put me in. This is half a year of confinement. It must drive people crazy. What serious crime did those girls commit?

, Master wants to be so cruel?"

Zhu Yan shook his head and said: "Sister, I only heard this, but they refused to tell me if I asked them again. It seems that they are very wary of those girls. Also, it is said that in this courtyard, besides the wife and the three

Madam, no one is allowed in, not even the Second Madam and the others."

The more unclear the situation was, the more itchy and uncomfortable Zhu Rong felt in his heart. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, I must find a way to go in and see who are the people inside."
