Bian Yu looked at Liu Xin in surprise and asked, "It's the master's business to name the child. How come it's the slave's turn?"
Liu Xin has an impression that in history, Bian Yu was forced to return to his hometown to wait for childbirth because he was discriminated against by Cao Cao's wife Ding. After giving birth to his son, Cao Cao was not around, so Bian Yu decided to name the child Cao Pi. Liu Xin is now very
I wanted to see what name she would give the child in her belly to further confirm her identity, so she said: "You don't know, Yu'er's name was given by my wife. You are all my beloved women. I won't
I favor one over the other, so you choose the name of this child."
Bian Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "But I still don't know if it's a boy or a girl."
Liu Xin smiled and asked: "Then do you want to have a boy or a girl?"
Bian Yu rolled her eyes at him and asked angrily: "Who doesn't want to have a boy?"
Liu Xin still said with a smile: "I don't necessarily want to have a boy. I like both boys and girls. If you want to have a boy, then just treat it as a boy."
Bian Yu was a little nervous at first, but when he heard that he could give birth to a boy or a girl, he felt relieved and said, "Why don't we just treat it as a boy?"
Liu Xin laughed and said, "Well, my Yu'er will definitely give birth to a big fat boy."
After hearing his words, Bian Yu's face turned red and she was shy, but she was filled with joy in her heart. She pondered for a while and said, "If I give birth to a boy, I want to name him Liu Pi. Master, what do you think?"
Liu Xin felt ecstatic in her heart. She had indeed picked up a big treasure. From now on, there would only be Liu Pi in the world, and there would no longer be a person like Cao Pi. She couldn't help but ask again: "What's the meaning of the word 'Pi'?"
"
Bian Yu said softly: "'Pi' means 'big', and the slave family hopes that this child can become a big man in the future."
Although Liu Xin was determined to be an otaku at home for a few days, there was no way he could put down such a big task. Early the next morning, he sat in the study room and listened to Jushou's last report before the year. Jushou was okay.
I knew that Liu Xin had been out for a long time this time, so I waited for two days before taking the initiative to come to the door.
The business of Moxiangzhai has been booming recently. It is like a money-making machine, and the profits it brings are astounding to Liu Xin. Most of Moxiangzhai’s profits are used to maintain the operation of Phantom. It’s good to have money.
In this way, the development of Phantom will naturally be very smooth, and it will bring more and more useful information.
Liu Xin held a thick stack of paper in her hand, which was densely filled with information submitted from various places in neat official script. From the handwriting, it was obvious that it was Jushou's handwriting. Obviously, Xiang was in the Phantom Spy.
Paper was not yet popular, so Ju Shou copied it himself.
Although the price of Xiangzhi is very expensive, Liu Xin not only provides free supply to several of his close subordinates, but also fully meets the needs of important organizations such as Phantom Secret Agent. However, as the big boss behind Moxiangzhai, Jushou, this
Adhering to the principle of diligence and frugality, but unwilling to waste money, this word is written very thinly and densely, with no punctuation marks, and it is all in traditional Chinese characters.
Liu Xin read two pages and felt a little overwhelmed, so she put the materials in her hands aside and said: "Mr. Sir, please keep these materials for now. I will go back and look at them carefully. First, tell me about Cao Cao.
What's going on with Liu Bei and Sun Jian recently?"
When Jushou heard Liu Xin's question, he cheered up, cleared his throat, and said: "Back to my lord, after my lord's visit last time, my subordinates specially sent extra manpower to conduct a special investigation into their movements. Let's talk about Cao Cao first.
He is from Qiao County, Peiguo, his courtesy name is Mengde, and his surname is..."
Liu Xin interrupted him and said, "Okay, there's no need to talk about his past situation. I know it all. Let's talk about his current situation."
Jushou was stunned, as if Liu Xin hadn't seen the information about Cao Cao just now, how could he know everything? He couldn't ask in detail, so he had to continue: "After Cao Cao assisted the Qing Dynasty in suppressing the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan, he was also rewarded by the imperial court.
, but still holds the position of waiter. However, according to reliable information, after the Spring Festival, the emperor will establish the Xiyuan Army and set up eight Xiyuan captains, and Cao Cao will be awarded one of the eight captains."
Liu Xin said "Oh" and secretly gave high marks to Phantom Secret Agent's work performance. He also knew this history, but he was still not sure why Liu Hong established the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan, so
Then he asked: "Why did the emperor set up the Xiyuan Army?"
Jushou thought for a moment and said, "The specific reason is not clear yet. I just heard that the emperor seemed to feel some kind of threat."
Liu Xin thought for a moment and thought that the threat must not be because of him, so he stopped caring about him and said, "Sending people to continue to keep an eye on the Xiyuan Army, you can talk about the situation of Liu Bei and Sun Jian."
Jushu continued: "Sun Jian is now serving as an assistant commander in the Beijing army. He has three sons. The eldest son Sun Ce is ten years old, the second son Sun Quan is three years old, and the third son Sun Yi is just one month old. Liu Bei originally made a living by weaving straw sandals and mats, and later
He formed a volunteer army to help the imperial court annihilate the Yellow Turban Army, and is now an Anxi County Lieutenant for his meritorious service."
Liu Xin nodded and asked: "There is a red-faced man beside Liu Bei. Is he called Guan Yu?"
Jushou said in surprise: "Yes, he is Liu Bei's sworn brother. How did the lord know?"
Liu Xin said calmly: "I have another source of information. By the way, since Liu Bei also has the surname Liu, have you ever heard whether he has any relationship with the Han clan clan?"
When Jushou heard Liu Xin say that he had another source of information, he was shocked. It seemed that although his lord was young, he was really not that simple. He was silent for a long time, and then he calmed down and said: "Go back to my lord, the one we sent out
The Phantom Secret Agent has also been to his hometown, and has never heard of any connection between him and the Han clan."
Liu Xin was quite surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Does that gentleman know Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan?"
Jushou suddenly laughed and said playfully: "My lord, why are you asking him? This Prince Jing of Zhongshan is a man of extravagant sexual activities, a drunkard and a lustful man. He has fathered more than one hundred and twenty sons alone."
Liu Xin was like a mirror in her heart, and she was suddenly relieved. It turned out that Liu Bei, like herself, was not a member of the Han clan at all. Everyone was a Xibei. No wonder he could only rely on his military merit to work as a minor official until Liu Xin
After Hong's death, he jumped out and claimed to be Prince Jing of Zhongshan, pretending to be the emperor's uncle. This Liu Sheng gave birth to more than a hundred sons, and his sons gave birth to grandsons, and their grandsons gave birth to sons. Even if some people suspected him, there was no way to investigate.
After Jushou said goodbye, Liu Xin picked up the materials on the table and started flipping through them. The materials were relatively messy. Although they were copied by Jushou, they were not carefully sorted and classified. The amount of information was large and miscellaneous. Liu Xin could only
After looking at it for a while, I lost interest, threw the information aside, and secretly thought, it seems that just collecting information is not enough, I have to organize people to organize and analyze the information.
But seeing so much information in front of him, Liu Xin was reluctant to give up. He picked it up and put it down several times, put it down and picked it up again. After lunch, he returned to the study and repeated it all afternoon.
This series of actions and kung fu
As expected, he actually discovered some clues. There are very frequent contacts between Cao Cao and his hometown Qiao County. However, the Cao family probably has no direct relatives in Qiao County. Could it be that he has something else to hide in his hometown?
People's secrets?
Although it was just a small clue, Liu Xin felt that his hard work for the day was finally in vain. He felt relieved. He finally put down the information in his hands and could relax for a while.
Liu Xin stretched out and walked out of the study. There was still some time before dinner, so he strolled to the back hall, only to see many people sitting around in the hall. Taking a closer look, Ma Yun, Bian Yu, Qiaoer, Ying
They are all here, but Liu Rui is sitting in the middle. The little girl is talking lively
Liu Xin retells the story told by Liu Xin yesterday. To his surprise, there is a beautiful girl among the audience, but it is the famous talented woman Cai Yan. In addition to Liu Yu moving around restlessly, Bian Yu and Cai Yan
They were all so engrossed in listening that they didn't even notice Liu Xin walking up to him.
Ma Yun had already seen Liu Xin, smiled at him knowingly, and signaled him to be quiet. Unexpectedly, Liu Rui, a little girl with sharp eyes, also noticed his arrival, jumped up from the chair, threw herself into Liu Xin's arms, and shouted:
: "Dad, you're back! Can you continue to tell Rui'er?"
Everyone was shocked and stood up one after another. Cai Yan hurriedly said a blessing to Liu Xin: "The daughter of the people has met the Lord."
Liu Xin has not seen Cai Yan again since she rescued Cai Yong's family in Yingchuan last time. When she saw her today, she felt that her face was a little more energetic than before. She waved her hand and said:
"It turns out that Miss Cai is here too, but I interrupted your chat."
After the marriage contract between Cai Yan and Wei Zhongdao was terminated, Cai Yong no longer kept her under house arrest. He felt relaxed and no longer had to worry about gains and losses. His mood improved, and the complexion on his face naturally improved as well. Cai Yong's new residence is divorced
Liu Xin's prefectural governor's office was nearby, but in fact Cai
Recently, Yan often visited his house to talk to Ma Yun, but Liu Xin didn't meet him. Cai Yan suddenly saw Liu Xin, and for a moment he had mixed feelings, and his behavior became a little unnatural, and he said: "
Don’t bother me, it’s getting late, so I’ll take my leave now.”
Liu Xin looked at Cai Yan's hurried away figure, touched her head, and said inexplicably: "Why did this little girl run away as soon as she saw me? Are you afraid that I will eat her?"
During this time, Cai Yan and Ma Yun were chatting, and the topic always came to Liu Xin intentionally or unintentionally. Ma Yun had already guessed some of her thoughts. After listening to Liu Xin's words, she joked: "Hmph, this matter
Who can say for sure."
On the large round table in the East Flower Hall, Zhu Qian had already asked the maids to make arrangements for dinner. This was already the third meal here. Although Zhu Qian was still a little reserved, it was much better than the previous two meals.
, Liu Xin saw her change in his eyes, and secretly smiled at her with approval. Zhu Qian met Liu Xin's gaze, and quickly lowered her head in panic, picked up the rice bowl, and did not eat the vegetables, but just picked up the rice.
