"How dare you rob me in broad daylight! I am the future prince, how dare you be so rude!" Liu Xin yelled angrily.
Several servants looked at each other and did not dare to step forward.
"Why don't you do it quickly?" the old man shouted.
The servants listened to the old man's order and rushed forward. When Liu Xin saw it, he felt angry. He put the lid of the Baodian box into his arms, got into a posture, and started fighting with the servants.
Liu Xin learned the Qingcheng School's Splitting Kung Fist. It is said that his ancestor could break a branch as thick as a thumb twenty meters away with one punch, while his earlier ancestors could break a branch forty meters away with one punch.
A small tree, but these are just legends, no one has ever seen it. Liu Xin’s master can extinguish nine candles two meters away, but Liu Xin can only extinguish one candle after ten years of practice. Liu Xin came to this world two years ago
After ten days, he understood that in this era, having good kung fu is more important than anything else. He practiced diligently every morning and night, and his kung fu never fell behind. How could these servants be his opponents? They had already been defeated by him three times, five times, five times two times.
On the ground.
"Take me to see the Marquis quickly!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the old man turned around and wanted to run away, but was caught by Liu Xin.
"Don't be rude!" A man turned around from the back of the side hall. He was about fifty years old, wearing a crown, a black coat, a red silk skirt, a sword hanging from his waist, and his face was as sinking as water.
Liu Xin was shocked by this man's momentum and involuntarily loosened her hands. The old man stepped aside quickly, lowered his head and said nothing.
"Come here, take them all down." The man waved his hand to the old man again. "You go down too."
The visitor's eyes were fixed on Liu Xin, but Liu Xin was not afraid at all. She looked at him angrily, neither of them said a word, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.
"What do you call this little brother?" After a moment, the man couldn't help but asked, his expression softened.
"My Excellency, Liu Xin, is here to see the Marquis."
"Oh, do you have anything to do with me?"
"It turns out that you are the Marquis. I am a humble citizen who cannot recognize Mount Tai. I have offended you so much. Please forgive me, Lord Marquis." Liu Xin bowed deeply. In fact, Liu Xin had just seen that this person must be Liu Zhong, the Marquis of Juchao.
"No need to be polite, just tell me if you have anything to say."
"This is what Xiaomin is here for. Xiaomin wants to see the box with his own eyes and see if the lids match." Liu Xin took out the mother-of-pearl box lid from her arms. In fact, Liu Xin refused to let go of the mother-of-pearl box lid. It was clear that she would not
Trust Liu Zhong.
"Your surname is Liu, what's your father's name? Where did this thing come from?" Liu Zhong saw a glimmer of light in his eyes when he saw the lid of the box.
"Father Liu Jian, my father gave me this thing." Liu Xin saw some clues in the eyes of Liu Zhong and the old man, and her confidence in the success of the match was greatly increased.
"Where is your father? What is your grandfather's name?"
"My grandfather's name is Liu Kai, and my father just passed away not long ago." Liu Xin couldn't help but feel sad as she thought about the fact that her father-in-law passed away just one day after they met her. She couldn't even fulfill her filial piety.
"You must go to the match in person, but do you know what the consequences will be if the match is unsuccessful?" Liu Zhong saw Liu Xin mentioning his father with a sad expression, which did not seem to be hypocritical. He secretly thought in his heart, could he be his real nephew?
"No matter what, I will watch from the sidelines." After the scene just now, Liu Xin, apart from still distrusting Liu Zhong, has greatly increased her confidence in her own skills. Humph, the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty are nothing special. It's not a big deal for me.
Just kill it.
"Okay, before the box and lid match, I have a condition." Obviously Liu Zhong was very confident that the box and lid could match.
"What conditions?" It turns out that Liu Zhong really didn't have good intentions. The saying that there is no free lunch in the world is a truth that has not changed for thousands of years. Liu Xin despised Liu Zhong again in his heart.
"The condition is that if the box and lid match, I will pass the title to you on the spot!"
Liu Xin secretly thought, this can be regarded as a condition. This condition is so good that Liu Zhong can't help but look at it with admiration.
"But..." Ah, it turns out there is more to it. This Liu Zhong is indeed not simple.
"You want to establish a heir apparent!" Liu Zhong then revealed the core of the condition.
"No, you are kidding me. I haven't given birth to a son yet." Liu Xin refused on the spot. She and Ma Yun are not married yet. Even if the first hit is made, it will have to wait ten months, and we don't know whether it is a boy or a girl.
Liu Xin never imagined that it would be such a condition.
"You don't need to worry about this. I have already prepared it for you, Prince. If the box and lid match, you will bear the name of the Marquis. You don't need to worry about other things. I will give you a large sum of money. Look.
How about it?" Liu Zhong finally revealed his ultimate goal.
Damn it, after struggling for a long time, it turns out that I am just a fictitious prince! Whether to make a deal or not, this question is a bit difficult!
"You have to think carefully. If you don't agree to this condition, you won't get anything. I'll give you a stick of incense." Liu Zhongyi looked like he was sure of victory.
"How much can you give me?"
"Ten million dollars!"
"Okay, deal! But I also have to add a condition!" Liu Xin did not hesitate.
"You also have conditions, okay, tell me." Liu Zhong looked at Liu Xin strangely, what conditions would your kid have?
"My conditions are - treasure, tin, box, complete, return to me!" Liu Xin said word by word.
"Hahaha, what kind of condition is this? What is a treasure box worth? No problem, the box and lid are matched successfully, and the treasure box is yours." Liu Zhong couldn't help laughing. This was too simple. How could he have thought of this treasure?
The mother-in-law box expresses Liu Xin's gratitude to her adoptive father.
"Now you and I go to the post house first to see if the bottom box and lid can be matched successfully. We will discuss other matters in detail when we come back." Seeing that the conditions were negotiated, Liu Chong couldn't hide his excitement, and regardless of his identity, he pulled
He grabbed Liu Xin's hand and ran out, shouting as he ran: "Prepare the car, hurry!"
Liu Zhong pulled Liu Xin into the carriage and set off under the protection of a large group of servants. Neither of them spoke during the whole journey. Liu Xin was a little nervous, while Liu Zhong was a little excited.
At the door of the post house, a young eunuch came out and whispered sharply: "This slave has seen the Marquis."
"Well, let's talk inside." Although the eunuch was in charge, Liu Zhong was still a member of the Han clan, so he didn't take this little eunuch seriously.
Liu Xin raised her eyes and saw that this was a real eunuch! She finally saw the eunuch. She had only seen it on TV before. They were all played by actors. This was a real eunuch. The eunuch was twenty.
Next year, he will look handsome, but his skin is slightly darker, and there is really no beard on his chin, not even a stubble can be seen, and he has an orchid finger!
The eunuch was a little unhappy when he saw Liu Xin staring at him non-stop, and asked softly: "Master Hou, who is this person?"
"This man calls himself Liu Xin, and he has brought the lid of a treasure box. Liu Xin, I haven't seen you yet." This eunuch was also an internal official, so Liu Chong called him "sir."
"Little citizen Liu Xin has met my father-in-law." Liu Xin stepped forward and gave a salute.
"What did you call me?" The little eunuch was a little surprised.
"Little citizen Liu Xin has met my father-in-law." Liu Xin had no choice but to salute again, muttering in her heart, isn't that how eunuchs are called on TV? Is there anything wrong?
"Father, father-in-law, it's interesting. Haha, Lord Marquis, please come in." The eunuch said at one end and led the way with the other.
When they arrived at the post house, the little eunuch waved his hand, and a man who looked like a sergeant brought a plate covered with red silk. When the little eunuch lifted up the red silk, there was a lacquer box on the plate, without a lid, with black paint on the red base.
It depicts cloud and dragon patterns, dot patterns, rhombus patterns, and stone patterns, and the workmanship is very exquisite.
"These days, I don't know how many people have brought box lids, but none of them can match it. Take out yours too." The little eunuch glanced at Liu Xin.
"Father, look." Liu Xin took out the lid of the tin box from her arms and held it up with both hands.
"Well, this object does have some looks. Lord Marquis, let me give it a try." When the little eunuch heard Liu Xin call him "father-in-law," his face was full of smiles.
"Well, I also felt that there was something similar, so I personally brought him here." Liu Zhong saw the tin box again and gained a little more confidence.
Little eunuch, pick up the lid and snap it on the box.
In an instant, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the little eunuch's hands, with their hearts hanging in the air.
Just listen to a "pop" sound, the lid and the box match, and the patterns are connected. What's even more surprising is that the lid and the box match, but they can't be opened. If you look carefully, you can see a black lacquer in the middle of the lid of the box.
The dot pattern unexpectedly bulged up. The little eunuch pressed lightly on the bulging black dot with his hand, and heard a "pop" sound, and the lid of the box automatically popped up. Everyone was stunned for a moment. It was indeed unprecedented.
Seeing the ingenuity, he said, "Congratulations, Lord Marquis, congratulations, Lord Marquis. Today, Lord Marquis finally got what he wanted. These two pieces are indeed an original pair, and no matter how skilled a craftsman is, they cannot be faked." The little eunuch quickly congratulated Liu Zhong.
, but then said to Liu Xin: "Although this box and lid match, it doesn't prove that you are Liu Kai's descendant!"
Liu Chong was shocked when he heard this. Could it be that the emperor had made it clear that he wanted to take back the feudal country?
Liu Xin was well prepared and said calmly: "Go back to my father-in-law. I still have a copy of the genealogy, which can prove my identity. The genealogy is now in the humble house and has not been brought here. If my father-in-law wants to see it, I will go here."
Just take it."
Liu Chong was secretly happy. Since he had a family tree, even the emperor couldn't say anything.
The little eunuch listened, but his expression was blank. He was silent for a long time and said: "Since there is a family tree, it is not a big problem. However, I am not in a hurry to read it now. Word has come from the palace that Mr. Zhang will come in person.
Juchao, we will be there tomorrow, you just need to bring the family tree here tomorrow. As for this treasure box, I will leave it in the post house for now, and wait until the Marquis has inspected it in person tomorrow before returning it to you."
After listening to the little eunuch's words, Liu Xin and Liu Zhong naturally knew that the Marquis in this picture must be referring to Zhang Rang, who was the head of the "Ten Constant Attendants".
Liu Zhong became uneasy and asked: "May I ask this great sir, I wonder if Zhang Houye came to Juchao in person, what is the important matter?"
The young eunuch said a little impatiently: "Master Zhang naturally has something to do when he comes here. As for what he has to do, it is not something I can ask. You two go back and it will be clear tomorrow morning."
