Chapter 73: Differentness (Two More Flowers)
"I usually told you a long time ago that I told you to read more books, why don't you listen!" Bei Yu pointed at Bei Wei, and then pointed at Bei Meng, and he was angry, "Liu Xin is an official of the imperial court, and his position is higher than mine, if I go to kill him, it will be a rebellion!" Do you understand rebellion? That's going to be all over the place! ”
Bei Wei and Bei Meng looked at each other: "Then what are we going to do?" ”
Bei Yu sighed and said, "It wasn't us who killed Liu Xin, but Su Dai!" As long as we kill Su Dai, we will help the imperial court quell the rebellion, and then Xiangyang and Changsha will fall into our hands justifiably. Bei Meng, as long as you occupy Changsha City, you will immediately start to clear out the men and horses of Su Dai, and don't leave a single person alive! ”
Bei Wei was still a little puzzled: "Father sent those four girls to Liu Xin, if they do it, won't the court suspect us?" ”
Bei Yu had to say patiently: "It wasn't me who sent those four girls to Liu Xin, but the Su family!" The person who sent them there was a distant brother of the Su family, this person was named Su Jian, the third in the family, the third child who often followed me, and I promised him a high-ranking official and let him try to get close to Liu Xin. Even if Liu Xin's people find out in the future, it doesn't matter, after Liu Xin's death, none of the third child and these four girls can stay, and there is no proof of death for them! That's clear enough! ”
Only then did the two brothers understand their father's intentions. Bei Meng said distressedly: "It's a pity that those four girls are like flowers, they are like flowers and jade, they are gone." ”
Bei Yu said disdainfully: "I know that your brothers always beat their ideas. When you take Xiangyang and Changsha, are you still worried that there are no beauties? Liu Xin's wives and concubines, which one is not the best in the world. There are also a lot of good women in Su Dai's family, I heard that Zhang He's bride was also born well, hehe, wait, there is a time when you are happy. ”
Bei Wei and Bei Meng both yearned for each other, and said in unison: "The best is naturally reserved for my father." ”
There was a burst of unbridled laughter in the study.
Zhang He's day of great joy has been decided, and on September 28, Liu Xin personally chose it. Originally, Liu Xin meant that it was enough to let Zhang He only invite a group of his cronies to participate. But the Wang family has been in business for a long time, and there are many friends on the scene, although it is to marry a daughter, after all, it is married to a county Taishou, but he also wants to take this opportunity to show off, so Wang Zhen opened a long list for Zhang He to invite. The old man's face Zhang He still has to be given, and the number of people attending the wedding banquet will naturally expand many times.
Many people heard that Zhang He was the sworn brother of Jingzhou Mu Liu Xin, and they all wanted to take advantage of this relationship, and they also took the initiative to give gifts and wanted to participate in the wedding banquet, but Zhang He naturally refused and it was inconvenient for him to refuse, and the number doubled.
There are still more than ten days left before September 28, and many of these people also took this opportunity to give Liu Xin gifts.
The expansion project of Xiangyang City is nearing completion, and the scale of the new Xiangyang City has begun to appear, and the city is high and deep, which can be said to be solid. The news of these noble families came very quickly, and they knew that there were still large tracts of vacant land in the city waiting to be sold publicly. This year's Yellow Turban Rebellion has reminded these big families that they can't just have money, they must have a safe place to live, and New Xiangyang is obviously their best choice.
In addition, the rumor that Liu Xin is going to establish Xiangyang Academy has already spread out, and the person who presides over the academy is the famous Cai Yong, who doesn't want their children to enter the best academy and learn from the best teachers?
But it is not easy for these people to get in touch with Liu Xin, and now that Liu Xin's sworn brother is getting married, this opportunity, which is not a good opportunity, must be used to make good use of it.
The givers were miscellaneous, including county officials, landlords, and merchants. The gifts sent are also varied, including gold and silver jewelry, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and silk and satin.
Today, there was another gift-giver, and as soon as he saw Liu Xin, he made a big gift, and said with a smile: "Xiaomin Sha Sujian, I heard that since the adult's righteous brother is married, he will give a little gift, please smile and accept it." ”
Liu Xin heard that his surname was Su and he was from Changsha, so he couldn't help but think of Su Dailai and asked: "I heard that the Su family is the largest family in Changsha, so you are also a member of the Su family?" ”
Su Jian said with a smile: "Back to my lord, Xiaomin is just a side branch of the Su family, he left Changsha in his early years to go to other places, and now he runs some shops in Jiangling. ”
After Su Jian finished speaking, he clapped his palms, and four women outside rushed in, all of them with bewitching figures, showing off their flowers, each holding a lacquered plate covered with a red cloth in their hands.
Su Jian said: "My lord, they grew up in a small family since they were young, and they are all good at singing, dancing and singing. Today, I am specially dedicated to adults. ”
With a flick of their hands, the four dancers uncovered the red cloth covering the lacquer plate, but there were four treasures on the plate, a pair of night pearls, a strange stone, a pair of beautiful jade, and a golden bull.
Liu Xin's eyes lit up, although the four dancing girls were beautiful, they were a little inferior to these four things, the golden bull was nothing, but the night pearl and the strange stone were rare.
At that time, it was common for wealthy families to keep Kaki dancers, but when there was a banquet at home, they were called out to perform for fun, and it was not difficult to send four beautiful dancers. But to collect all these four treasures, it is not something that ordinary rich people can do, Liu Xin secretly said in his heart, this Su Jian is not simple!
Liu Xin was already suspicious, so he no longer looked at these four items, but stared at the four women intently, with a look of lust, not looking at Su Jian at all, and said in his mouth: "Okay, I'll take these four beauties, and you have to attend on time when the time comes, and I will wait for you in the main hall." ”
Su Jianwei retired, left the state pastoral mansion, and breathed a sigh of relief, the first step was finally successful, and it seemed that he had the opportunity to drink in the same hall with Liu Xin.
Liu Xin sent the four women into the back house and handed them over to Ma Yun to take care of, and he hurriedly found Fu Zhi and arranged for someone to inquire about Su Jian's situation.
As Zhang He's wedding day approached, there was an endless stream of gift-givers, Liu Xin was no longer willing to meet these gift-givers in person, just looked at the gift list casually, and handed over the rest to the Flying Tiger guards at the door.
On this day, Liu Xin was looking through the gift list in the study, and a name that surprised him very much came into view - Su Dai!
Liu Xin opened the gift list and took a closer look, and couldn't help but gasp, this gift from Su Dai is really generous! 500 taels of gold, 3,000 taels of silver, four six-foot-tall red corals, eight pairs of high-quality white bi, 100 pearls of the East China Sea, two BMWs, and a pair of beauties. Liu Xin took the gift list and secretly weighed it, this gift is much heavier than Su Jianlai, who is also from the Su family, and he is worthy of being the head of the Su family, so what is the purpose of Su Dai giving such a heavy gift? He asked, "Who sent it?" ”
The Flying Tiger guard hurriedly replied: "Lord, it was sent by that Master Su himself, and the person is still waiting outside." ”
Everyone who comes to give gifts naturally wants to meet Liu Xin, but whether they can meet depends on Liu Xin's mood.
Liu Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Please let him in!" ”
Su Dai waited anxiously in the living room, he spared no expense this time, just to be able to meet Liu Xin, and it was best to try to get another invitation card to enter the main hall. If you can't even see Liu Xin's face, it will be a little aggrieved to spend such a big price. When he heard the guard say, "Your Excellency has please", Su Dairu was pardoned.
Su Dai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the two beautiful girls behind him, and asked worriedly, "Xiaomin, can you take the two of them in?" ”
The guard hesitated, but nodded.
Su Dai hurriedly led the two girls and followed the soldiers behind. The soldier pointed with his hand in the direction of the study and said, "My lord is inside, Master Su will go in by himself." ”
As soon as Su Dai entered the door, he fell to the ground, did not dare to raise his head, and said loudly: "Little Minsha Su Dai, please meet your lord." ”
I heard a woman's coquettish laughter. Su Dai secretly looked up, only to see a pretty maid, disheveled, snuggled in the arms of the young man above, feeding him something. Su Dai didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he quickly lowered his head again, and secretly slandered himself, this Liu Xin is really a womanizer!
Then I heard a man's voice say, "Baby, you go to the back and wait for me, and I'll come right over." ”
A female voice came angrily: "Then the master should come quickly, don't let the slave wait for a long time." ”
Only then did I hear Liu Xin say: "You are Su Dai?" Don't be polite, get up and talk back. ”
Su Dai stood up at this time, and when he looked at Liu Xin again, he was already serious, but there were still women's lip prints on his face, and the scene was quite funny.
I heard Liu Xin say again: "Su Dai, do you have any special thoughts for sending such a heavy Lilly?" ”
Su Dai hurriedly replied: "Xiaomin doesn't dare to have any excessive thoughts. Since the adult served as the pastor of Jingzhou, the people of Changsha have said that the better and better, and the small people are very admirable to the adults. In order to express his respect for adults, Xiaomin chose two stunning beauties to offer to adults, but I don't know if I can win the meaning of adults? ”
After Su Dai finished speaking, he patted his hands lightly and walked into the two girls from outside the door.
As soon as Liu Xin heard that there was a beautiful woman, she seemed to be in her spirits immediately, and her body sat upright, staring straight at the door.
After only a few glances, Liu Xin didn't seem to have much interest, his body relaxed again, and said disapprerovingly: "Well, the posture is a little bit better." It's just that compared with the many beauties in my house, it's a little inferior. Okay, then let's stay and be a girl who makes the bed and folds the quilt. ”
Hearing this, Su Dai's heart was cold, he had high hopes for these two women, and there was a big thing that they needed to complete, so he gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, take a closer look, these two women are different. ”
