Liu Xin was taken aback and said, "Isn't the marriage already settled? Could it be that something unexpected happened? Liu has never heard from his wife."
Wu Xian glanced at Wu Shu and murmured in his heart, what happened to his sister today? He couldn't explain clearly, so he quickly answered: "Sir, what I'm talking about is not the marriage, but Ce'er's wedding date. I want to
Taking advantage of Ce'er's rotation in Xiangyang, we arranged their marriage, but the lady refused to agree, so we sisters had no choice but to come and beg you."
Liu Xin suddenly understood, laughed, and said: "Mrs. Sun, if Liu remembers correctly, Sun Ce is only eighteen years old this year. Liu originally planned to wait until he reaches the age of weakness before consummating their marriage. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Sun was in such a hurry
I can’t wait to hold my grandson in my arms. Haha, haha..."
Wu Shu was so embarrassed by Liu Xin's teasing that she blushed and said coyly: "My lord, you are making fun of me. My late husband left early and Ce'er is in the army again. The slave family is just worried..."
At this point, she couldn't go on. Sun Ce was a soldier, with no eyesight on the battlefield. However, after he married Liu Rui, if something bad happened again, wouldn't it make Liu Rui become like him?
When she said this, she reminded Liu Xin that even if Liu Xin originally wanted to agree, she would have to think about it now. Wu Shu suddenly thought of this and naturally couldn't go on, and was so annoyed that she wanted to slap her hard.
Slap yourself.
Liu Xin disagreed. Sun Ce was a general under him, and he had a certain understanding of history. It could be said that after his operation, Sun Ce's fate had changed. How could he be the short-lived guy in history?
However, Liu Xin also understood that Wu Shu had her own little plan for getting Sun Ce married. She thought that as long as Sun Ce became Liu Xin's son-in-law, Liu Xin would naturally stop sending him on dangerous missions, and she would
No need to worry about my son anymore.
In fact, Wu Shu didn't understand. Although Sun Ce could no longer inherit Sun Jian's legacy and become the overlord of one party, it did not prevent him from becoming a hero. Liu Xin understood Sun Ce's thoughts. How could the historical overlord of Jiangdong be willing to be just a hero?
What about the rich man who knows how to raise children and grandchildren? So, last time a hundred thousand cavalry swept across
During the battle on the grassland, Liu Xin personally ordered Sun Ce's generals. However, because Sun Ce was Liu Xin's "quasi-son-in-law," Xu Huang did not let him rush to the front line, but gave him the task of taking over. Sun Ce
He didn't get a chance to show off his talent, so he has been depressed since returning to Xiangyang. Liu Xin had already seen this.
Seeing the change in the expression on Wu Shu's face, Liu Xin laughed and said: "The first male will get married, and the first female will get married. Since my mother-in-law is so anxious, Liu will treat her as a beauty. In this way, I will send someone to the military camp later.
Give Sun Ce two months' leave, choose an auspicious day, and arrange the wedding. Don't worry about Madam, I'll talk to her."
Liu Xin has his own considerations. In fact, he is also opposed to early marriage. However, Liu Rui is already in her hair. In this era, it is the time to get married. He does not have sufficient reasons to prevent Liu Rui from getting married. What's more, Liu Rui is just him
As his stepdaughter, if he keeps Liu Rui at home when she is about to get married, she may be criticized. Of course Liu Xin doesn't care what others say about him, but he has to think about Zhu Qian and Liu Rui.
Although the Sun Jian Group has collapsed, there are still many old officials of the Sun family still serving under him. Sun Jing and Zhu Zhi are all good at handling government affairs, and Cheng Pu and Huang Gai are the backbone of the navy. These people are now
They are loyal to Liu Xin, but their connection with the Sun family is not
There is no disconnect. Now, Wu Shu has proposed a plan to arrange a marriage for Sun Ce and Liu Rui. If Liu Xin categorically rejects it, it will inevitably cause some misunderstandings if it reaches the ears of Cheng Pu and others. Liu Xin does not want people to think that he
Liu Rui was betrothed to Sun Ce in order to take advantage of the Sun family.
The most important thing is that Liu Rui and Sun Ce are in love. Since the marriage was settled, Liu Rui seems to have changed into a different person. She is no longer the unruly and willful person who follows Zhu Qian all day long to learn how to handle housework.
, as if she wants to be a good wife and mother, what reason does Liu Xin have to prevent the two young people from getting together?
Liu Xin has learned a lesson about the taboos before marriage. Now that he and Diao Chan live in the same prefecture and pastorate, they can't meet each other, let alone Sun Ce and Liu Rui. If their marriage is delayed for another year or two, I believe it will be difficult for them.
It was also a torment for these two young people. Therefore, Liu Xin readily agreed.
Liu Xin once had a bad reputation in Xiangyang for fearing his wife like a tiger. Of course, this is just a legend and cannot be confirmed. However, Ma Yun's status in Liu Xin's mind is extraordinary. The decisions she made, Liu Xin never
There was no objection, and sisters Wu Shu knew this. Therefore, they came today just hoping to persuade Liu Xin and ask him to persuade Ma Yun, but they did not expect that Liu Xin actually agreed.
Wu Xian opened her mouth and looked at her sister from time to time, with an unreadable expression in her eyes. She always felt that there was some ulterior secret between her sister and Liu Xin. If not for this, how could Liu Xin agree to it?
.However, she could only keep these words in her heart silently. She could neither say them nor ask them.
After sending away Sister Wu Shu, Liu Xin felt a little unsure. Although he was the head of the family, he did not contribute much to the raising and education of the children. In the end, Ma Yun and Zhu Qian had to nod in this matter.
Just fine.
After listening to the reasons listed by Liu Xin, Ma Yun rolled her eyes at him and said, "I think you are not thinking about Sun Ce and Liu Rui, but you are worried about yourself. Why don't I help you arrange your marriage to Diao Chan first?"
Already."
Liu Xin said sarcastically: "Wife, what are you doing to me? I'm talking to you about business."
Ma Yun glared and said: "What I said is serious business. I plan to choose an auspicious day in a few days to officially bring Diao Chan into the house. However, I have a condition. You will not be allowed to have sex outside in the future.
It’s crazy.”
Liu Xin said with an aggrieved look: "Young men will never dare to mess around with women outside. Please tell me, my wife. Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about Rui'er's marriage."
Ma Yun sighed and said: "Have you ever thought about it, Rui'er is only sixteen years old after the Chinese New Year. If she gets married, she will face having children. This is a hurdle!"
Liu Xin said without thinking: "This is not easy to handle. Don't you have the contraceptive method Bian Yu gave you?"
Ma Yun angrily tapped him on the forehead and said, "Can you please use your brain? What era is this? If Rui'er has been married for a year or two and there is no movement in her stomach, what do you mean about the Sun family?
What do you think? How will Rui'er spend her life in the Sun family in the future?"
Liu Xin was stunned. He really hadn't thought that far. He couldn't help but ponder: "I have already promised the Sun family, what should I do?"
After a moment of silence, Ma Yun turned to Zhu Qian and said, "Qian'er, you have the final say on Liu Rui's affairs."
Ma Yun is not playing ball. After all, Zhu Qian is Liu Rui's biological mother, and Liu Xin is just Liu Rui's stepfather. As for herself, her relationship with Liu Rui has reached a new level. Ma Yun doesn't want to do this.
To show off the majesty of the housewife, it is most appropriate to leave this matter to Zhu Qian.
Zhu Qian blurted out without thinking: "Since the master has agreed, let's choose a day and do it for them."
She had been silently listening to the conversation between Liu Xin and Ma Yun just now. Although they were discussing matters about her daughter, she did not interrupt. She did not express her opinion until Ma Yun asked.
Zhu Qian is very grateful that Liu Xin and Ma Yun can consider so much for Liu Rui. In her mind, Liu Xin is her heaven and her land. She will unconditionally implement whatever Liu Xin says. Since
Liu Xin has already agreed to the Sun family, how could she object? What's more, Sun Ce is young and handsome, and has good martial arts skills. She, the mother-in-law, is also very satisfied with Sun Ce.
However, from the conversation between Liu Xin and Ma Yun just now, Zhu Qian also discovered a secret. No wonder Ma Yun never gave birth to another child after giving birth to two sons. It turned out that she had been taking contraceptive measures, and it was Liu Xin who helped her ask Bian Yu
Found it. In that era, it was a wife's duty to have children, but Liu Xin was able to allow and even encourage Ma Yun to do this, which shows how open-minded he is.
For a long time, Zhu Qian had felt inferior to her status as a remarried woman. Now that she heard about this incident, she suddenly realized that Liu Xin had never cared about her past, and she had thought too much about it. Zhu Qian
Tears welled up in his eyes.
Ma Yun didn't know what Zhu Qian was thinking. She just used herself to save others. She took it for granted that Zhu Qian was also worried about her daughter getting married at such a young age. She couldn't help comforting her softly: "It's all my fault for agreeing without consulting us."
No.
But, you don’t have to worry. My master and I are supporting Rui’er, and the Sun family doesn’t dare to embarrass Rui’er. Don’t worry, I will let Rui’er marry in glory. It’s just that Rui’er is too young.
In two or three years there will be no problem."
But she heard Zhu Qian murmur: "Actually, she's not young anymore. Rui'er was already born when the slave family was this old."
Ma Yun rolled her eyes at her, speechless.
Ma Yun and the others were busy preparing for the marriage between Liu Rui and Sun Ce. There was no need for Liu Xin to interfere with it. He was free and went to his study to study his territory map of the Han Dynasty. The Huns had already merged into the territory of the Han Dynasty.
It’s a done deal. This map of Han territory can be expanded to a large area to the north. There is nothing more exciting than opening up territory and expanding territory.
However, it is one thing to expand the territory, and it is another thing to defend the territory. Naturally, such a large piece of grassland cannot be completely relied on the Huns to defend it. The ancient adage that people who are not our race must have different intentions must not be ignored, let alone
What's more, to the east of this grassland, there are still Xianbei people who are eagerly thinking about several plans. Liu Xin felt that
Not very satisfied, she looked up and found that the sky was getting dark. After a hurried dinner, Liu Xin came to Zhu Qian's room. Liu Rui was about to get married, and she should have come over earlier to give Zhu Qian some comfort. Who knew that staring at
She thought about the map for too long and actually forgot the time. Liu Xin felt a little guilty in her heart.
