Liu Rui is a girl who is not active to begin with. Coupled with Zhu Qian's long-term and strict discipline, she deserves to be even more quiet. In this era, there are no entertainment things such as TV and the Internet, and even books are very few. Listen to stories
It became her greatest enjoyment. The little girl couldn't help but widen her eyes and stared at Liu Xin expectantly.
Liu Xin looked at the little girl's cute appearance, like a porcelain doll, and couldn't help pinching her round little face with baby fat, and said: "A long time ago, on the vast sea, there was
A fairy mountain. There is a stone on the top of this fairy mountain. It is said to be a fairy stone left by Nuwa in ancient times to mend the sky. This stone has stayed on the top of the mountain for who knows how many years. It is exposed to wind and sun and absorbs the energy of heaven and earth.
Spiritual energy, collected from the essence of the sun and the moon, suddenly burst open one day, and a stone monkey jumped out of it..."
Not far away, Qiaoer was playing wildly in the snow with Liu Yu. When he turned around, he saw Liu Rui sitting in Liu Xin's arms. She didn't know what he was saying, but a slight smile appeared on her face from time to time. Seeing this
At this scene, she couldn't help but feel bitter secretly. It had been more than half a year since the madam agreed to let Liu Xin take her in, but Liu Xin hadn't even touched her with a finger. Now she was so affectionate to such a little girl. She couldn't help but feel...
Feeling sour, I then thought about how they were now father and daughter, and I felt funny about my own thoughts.
Qiao'er was worrying about gains and losses there, and when he wasn't paying attention, Liu Yu fell down in the snow and burst into tears. Qiao'er panicked and picked Liu Yu up in a hurry.
When Liu Xin heard her son's cry, she didn't know what was going on. She put Liu Rui down and said, "That's the end of the story today. Let's go and see what happened to your brother."
Qiao'er saw Liu Xin coming over and muttered: "Master, I..."
Liu Xin had already seen clearly that his son had just fallen. The snow had fallen quite thickly at this time, so he would not be injured anywhere. However, the humidity in the south was heavy, so the snow was different from that in the north. Liu Yu's clothes
But it had already wet a large area, so he interrupted her and said: "It's okay, the boy just fell somersault, why are you nervous. Let's go back and change his clothes. If he really catches a cold, Madam will blame him."
Liu Yu just cried subconsciously, but when he saw Liu Xin coming over, he smiled again. He was having fun and would not go back. Liu Rui was also hearing the highlights. This story was better than what her mother told.
It sounded much better, and I didn’t want to go back now. The two siblings, one on the left and one on the right, took Liu Xin’s hand and acted coquettishly.
Liu Xin was hesitating when she saw Zhu Qian coming over, and took the opportunity to say: "Look, mom is telling you to go home for dinner, why don't you leave quickly."
Seeing Liu Xin carrying Liu Yu and walking in front, Zhu Qian also held Liu Rui's hand and followed them closely, but she quietly scolded: "Rui'er, you were so outrageous just now, how could you pester me like that tonight?"
Go back and kneel for an hour!"
Although her voice was soft, it had already reached Liu Xin's ears. Liu Xin turned back and said to her: "Qian'er, Rui'er is just a child, why are you so mean to her?"
Zhu Qian nodded and said nothing. Liu Xin knew that she didn't think so, so she sighed secretly. Zhu Qian's thoughts were too old-fashioned, and it seemed that she wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with her.
This newly built Zhou Mufu is very large, with two flower halls in the east and west, which are specially prepared for overnight guests. Like other courtyards, there are many new-style furniture in the east and west flower halls, especially for entertaining guests.
In the side room, there is a special large round table, which cannot be seen in other places of this era.
Liu Xin insisted on arranging today's dinner in the wing of the East Flower Hall, and asked the whole family to sit around this big round table.
In the past, Liu Xin always took turns eating in the three of them's rooms. Ma Yun had always eaten at the same table as Liu Xin. In her eyes, this was a matter of course. Although Bian Yu felt something was wrong, she couldn't resist Liu Xin's three meals.
After some persuasion, Zhu Qian reluctantly agreed to sit with him for dinner. Zhu Qian, however, insisted on the dogma of men and women eating at separate tables. She would wait until Liu Xin had finished eating before taking a few bites of her meal in a hurry.
Liu Xin waited for everyone to sit down, then returned to her seat and solemnly announced: "From now on, our whole family will sit together and eat like this."
Ma Yun always liked liveliness, and she clapped her hands and agreed: "Yes, there were no conditions in the past, but now we have this big round table, and everyone sits together, and it feels like home."
Liu Xin turned her head and saw Qiao'er hugging Liu Yu and standing aside. She pointed to an empty chair and said, "Sit over here too. We don't need the rule that father and son do not sit at the same table at home."
Although Qiaoer understood what Liu Xin meant, he asked Liu Yu to sit at the table, and she only got the glory for taking care of Liu Yu, but she was very excited inside. After all, she was at the same table with the master and his wife, so
She said that she was part of the same family as them. Bian Yu's personal maid Xiao Ying'er was very unhappy when she saw Qiao'er sitting on the chair carelessly. She hoped that her master could give birth to the baby in her belly as soon as possible, so that she could also
One day I sat down at this big table.
The two little maids each had their own thoughts. Zhu Qian, who was also a maid in the Zhou Mu Mansion, was already feeling uneasy sitting on the chair. Although she was a lady in Nanyang, the rules in the family were very strict. When her ex-husband was eating,
She could only wait on the side. She could accept sleeping on the same bed with Liu Xin, but eating at the same table with the master and his wife now was incompatible with the education she had received in the past. She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Feel.
What Liu Xin did today was actually to make her change, so she had been observing secretly, taking in all the changes in her expression. She frowned and asked, "Qian'er, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Qian replied in a panic: "No, no. I'm fine."
Liu Xin smiled, looked at Bian Yu again, and said: "Since there is no discomfort, let's eat quickly. When a family is together, they should be happy and live in harmony. Don't compare those who are noble and humble.
Always keep things in mind."
Bian Yu said openly: "I just remember what I said."
Zhu Qian just responded softly. Liu Xin knew that this matter was not urgent, so she didn't say anything more. She just kept adding vegetables to their bowls. Ma Yun was very happy, as if she had returned to the past with her classmates.
, the scene of colleagues having dinner together and telling jokes at the table.
At dinner, everyone except Zhu Qian ate happily. Even Liu Rui became a lot more cheerful. She was made to laugh by Ma Yun from time to time. She had long forgotten that her stern mother was sitting next to her.
As soon as she lost it, she went to pester Liu Xin, wanting to hear him continue telling stories. Zhu Qian knew that Liu Xin would definitely rest in Bian Yu's room tonight, so she quickly pulled her away. Liu Xin saw that the little girl kept mumbling a little
He opened his mouth and came out to persuade: "Rui'er, be good, go back with your mother first, and dad will tell you tomorrow night until you go to bed, okay?"
Liu Rui followed her mother back with reluctance.
Ma Yun said strangely: "Husband, this child Rui'er was disciplined like a dull gourd by her mother. She doesn't talk much to me and Yu'er. What story did you tell her to make her listen to you like this?
."
Liu Xin proudly leaned into Ma Yun's ear and mysteriously whispered three words: "Journey to the West."
Ma Yun was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed: "No culture, that is a story set in the Tang Dynasty, and there is still a gap of several hundred years."
Liu Xin became even more proud and whispered: "With you and me, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will never appear again. Even if there is a Tang Dynasty later, it doesn't matter, because the uneducated person is not me, but you."
Ma Yun couldn't understand and asked, "Why me?"
Liu Xin chuckled and said, "Because I told Rui'er that her aunt told me this story."
Ma Yun was so angry that she hit Liu Xin with her pink fists like raindrops, and said through gritted teeth: "You bad guy, how dare you frame me!"
Bian Yu watched the two of them flirting there from a distance, and wanted to come over, but couldn't take a step forward. At night, she helped Liu Xin lie down, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Master, did you just talk to Mrs.
Say something to be so happy."
Liu Xin asked in surprise: "Oh, are you watching from the side?"
Bian Yu blushed and said softly, "Yeah."
Liu Xin hugged her, patted her back gently, and said, "If you want to hear what we have to say from now on, just walk over by yourself. A family should act like a family. Don't be so careful everywhere."
Thinking of their appearance, Bian Yu's pretty face turned even redder, and she said delicately, "How can I be so embarrassed?"
The beauty in his arms rarely acted coquettishly with him like this before. Liu Xin knew that today's arrangements for Zhu Qian had an effect on Bian Yu, and she began to release herself. To her woman, Liu Xin
Xin was always very fond of her. Seeing the charming and beautiful woman in front of her growing belly, and remembering that she was the famous Empress Wuxuan, and now she was giving birth to children for herself, she couldn't help but feel an unreal feeling in her heart.
Seeing that Liu Xin was distracted, Bian Yu asked with concern: "Master, what are you thinking about?"
Liu Xin smiled and said, "I was thinking, how virtuous and talented Liu is to be able to marry such a beautiful woman as beautiful as a flower."
After listening to Liu Xin's words, Bian Yu suddenly shed two lines of tears.
Liu Xin asked strangely: "You are so good, why are you crying?"
Bian Yu wiped her tears, changed her smile, and said: "Don't be surprised, sir. My family is also pregnant now. I couldn't help but think of my parents. The two elders are no longer alive, and I felt a little sad for a while. When I was a child, I heard my father say that there was a gentleman who
The slave family had a divination and said that the slave family would be extremely valuable in the future, but I didn’t expect that I would actually marry the master today.”
Liu Xin knew that in her eyes, he, Zhou Mu, was a great official. Although he had always believed that Bian Yu was Cao Cao's stepwife Bian, he was still not sure. When she said this, he became even more convinced.
Convinced that she was the future Queen Wuxuan, he couldn't help but want to give her another try, so he said, "Yu'er, you are going to be a mother soon. Have you ever thought about what to name your child?"
