Chapter 39: A Clear Conscience
The handlebar type is a native of Luoyang, very familiar with the road, Liu Xin and Dian Wei followed behind the carriage, and after a while, they arrived at the post house, much faster than when they came.
Bian Yu got out of the car, looked up, and asked in surprise, "Aren't you staying at the inn?" This is a post house where only officials with more than 600 stone can stay, how can you live here? ”
Dian Wei said proudly: "My eldest brother is the former Taishou of Hejian, the new pastor of Jingzhou, of course he can live here." ”
Bian Yu was even more surprised: "It turns out that the son is Liu Xin and Lord Liu." ”
Liu Xin said strangely: "Oh, Miss Bian has also heard of Liu? ”
Bian Yu said with a smile: "Although Lord Liu is not in the capital, there are a lot of discussions about adults in this capital, and the slave family has also heard a lot, I don't know if the adults want to hear it?" ”
Liu Xin walked forward and said indifferently: "Qianqiu's merits have their own comments from others. The great husband acts, but asks for a clear conscience, and hears what he does. ”
It turned out that although Bian Yu refused to **, it was inevitable to accompany those dignitaries to drink and sing songs. These people inevitably talk about some officialdom between banquets, and recently, the topic of Liu Xin is also one of the hot topics in officialdom, so Bian Yu knows Liu Xin.
These people have mixed opinions about Liu Xin, some say that he is diligent and love the people, some say that he is a castration, some say that he sells his reputation and reputation, and some people say that he ruthlessly abandoned his young son for the sake of his official position, but they look down on him more.
Liu Xin helped Bian Yu redeem herself, Bian Yu regarded herself as Liu Xin's person, and had the heart to tell him everything she had heard, who knew that Liu Xin said such a sentence, she couldn't help but be stunned, so she had a clear conscience, which was very different from those officials and gentlemen who were in contact with her, and a strange feeling secretly rose in her heart.
At this time, the post guard in the hall greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Lord Liu, you can come back." Just now, Mr. Zhang Gou'er came to see you, but it happened that you weren't there. ”
As soon as Liu Xin heard this, he understood why this post guard was so condescending, Zhang Gou'er was a little eunuch, but it was Zhang Rang, the big eunuch, who was standing behind him. Zhang Gou'er came to see himself, maybe it was Zhang Rang's meaning, can this postman not scold himself.
Liu Xin said lightly as he walked: "Well, I know." Give me an extra room. ”
The post guard had already seen two beautiful women behind Liu Xin, one big and one small, and said yes, and was ready to go.
When I came back this time, the treatment was very different from just now, and after a while, the post man sent hot water and arranged for Liu Xin and others to bathe. You must know that the weather is still very cold at this time, and it is very troublesome to boil the hot water, and this post man is obviously attentive and ready early. Liu Xin didn't refuse, took a beautiful bath, rewarded the post man with a silver ingot, and the post man went with a thousand thanks.
Bian Yu finished bathing, washed his body white, sat on the edge of the bed and waited quietly. But until the dead of night, she didn't see Liu Xin enter her room, and when she was tired, she leaned on the head of the bed and fell asleep. Bian Yu couldn't sleep well this night, and always dreamed that he was standing on the stage at night, and countless hideous faces under the stage let out bursts of evil smiles, and from time to time someone raised the number plate in his hand, and the price was shouted one after another. She woke up from her dreams several times, but before dawn, she couldn't sleep, so she got up and walked out of the door, but saw Liu Xin boxing in the yard.
Since coming to the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xin has insisted on getting up early every day to practice. He dropped out of school when he was a child, lived in the rivers and lakes, and learned a lot of things. Now he mainly practices three things, one is the air splitting fist, the second is the flying knife, and the third is the kung fu of meditation and vomiting. All three of these were learned from different masters, and the first two were his self-defense techniques. And that meditation kung fu, according to the people who taught him, is especially good for men, in the past he practiced nothing special, since he had that relationship with Ma Yun, he felt refreshed when he practiced again.
When Bian Yu came out, Liu Xin was practicing flying knives, his flying knife stunt had been practiced to the fullest, at most he could send out six flying knives at the same time, attacking in six different directions, and what was even more powerful was that one of the flying knives could even turn in the air and attack behind the enemy. Bian Yu was stunned for a while, he couldn't imagine that he still had this martial art, and couldn't help but shout.
Liu Xin actually knew that Bian Yu was coming, and he still insisted on finishing the practice, so he turned his head, but saw Bian Yu's eyes were red, and asked with concern: "What's the matter, Miss Bian, didn't you sleep well at night?" ”
Bian Yu met Liu Xin's gaze, his face couldn't help but be hot, he didn't know how to speak, and muttered: "The slave family thinks ...... Thought it was ......"
Liu Xin saw that her words were sudden, understood, and said: "Miss Bian, Liu redeemed you, not to make you a wife and a concubine, nor to make you a slave or a maid, just to help you get rid of the sea of suffering, you and Miss Ying'er will be free people from now on, and you can go wherever you want in the future." Remember, you are not an appendage to anyone, but only yourselves. ”
Bian Yu was deeply shocked by Liu Xin's words, she never thought that she would be free one day, it only belonged to herself, how could it be possible in this society? He is unparalleled in beauty, which man sees that he does not move, and he helps himself redeem himself just to give himself freedom, what kind of man is this, Bian Yu, who thinks that he has read countless people, is a little incomprehensible.
Liu Xin saw that she was silent, and said again: "Okay, you have a good rest, I'm going out to run errands." If you want to leave, just say to my brother Dian Wei, and ask him for it if you don't have enough entanglement, just say that I said it. ”
Bian Yu suddenly said: "Lord Liu, if the slave family wants to follow you to Jingzhou to have a look, are you willing to take the slave family with you?" ”
Liu Xin walked out, and said disapprerovingly: "What's the willingness, it's just that multiple people have more pairs of chopsticks, you can follow if you want, anyway, I'm hungry for you." ”
Bian Yu looked at Liu Xin's back, speechless for a long time, and two lines of tears quietly flowed down her pretty face full of redness.
Today is to see Liu Hong's son, which is also the main purpose of Liu Xin's detour to Luoyang, in order to keep a low profile, he only brought a personal guard, and came to the palace early, but was told that the emperor had not yet gotten up. Liu Xin didn't dare to leave, so he had to wait outside the palace gate, until the sun was about to set, and then the chamberlain came out and said: "The emperor said, I won't be summoned today, you can go directly to Zhang and let the Hou Ye go." ”
Liu Xin was helpless, touched her cooing belly, and laughed in her heart, so she said that she couldn't be hungry for Bian Yu, and she was hungry first. endured hunger, and finally found Zhang Rang's house, but Zhang Rang was not there, but fortunately he ran into Zhang Gou'er. Zhang Gou'er relayed Zhang Rang's words, which were nothing more than words like asking him to take office as soon as possible and doing things well for the emperor, and of course, hinting that he should not forget his own benefits.
Liu Xin turned around for a day, but he didn't see any people he wanted to see, and he returned to the post house helplessly, but saw Ma Yun looking at him coldly with a long face.
Suddenly seeing Ma Yun, Liu Xin was so surprised, she didn't pay attention to her expression at all, and said, "Ah, wife, you guys came so fast." ”
Ma Yun sneered and said, "Hmph, don't you think we're coming fast and ruining your good deeds?" Come in with me. ”
Liu Xin was confused and didn't know what was going on, so she had to follow her into the hall of the post house. I saw Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu Huang, Zhang Fei and others standing for a while, and everyone looked at Liu Xin with sympathetic eyes, as if they were looking at a lamb to be slaughtered, which made Liu Xin feel terrified.
Ma Yun walked straight to the room in front, and as soon as Liu Xin entered the room, the door was slammed shut with a "pop".
Liu Xin looked at it, there were only two of them in the room, and suddenly became a little uneasy, and asked, "Wife, what's wrong, where is Liu Yu?" ”
Ma Yun still said in a cold tone: "You don't have to worry about your son." Let's explain it well, what's going on with those two women? ”
Liu Xin suddenly realized, he stayed outside for a day, he didn't eat a bite of food, and he had already forgotten about Bian Yu and them, who knew that Ma Yun was eating flying vinegar here, and couldn't help but be angry and funny: "Oh, you ask this." That woman is Bian Yu, and the other is her maid......"
Ma Yun interrupted him, "hum" and sneered twice: "Turning jade? I think her ass is quite big, and the jade can't be changed, but the doll will probably change into two. ”
When Liu Xin heard this, she couldn't help laughing: "Wife, you are too humorous. Okay, okay, okay, Bian Yu, you don't know, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi have always heard of it. ”
Ma Yun said angrily: "Still laughing!" What does this have to do with the two of them. ”
Liu Xinqiang couldn't help but smile and said, "Bian Yu is the mother of the two of them. ”
"Ahh Ma Yun lost her voice and said, "Then where are the two of them?" ”
"Bian Yu is still a big girl, so these two haven't been born yet." Liu Xin then recounted in detail what happened last night.
Ma Yun had actually understood, and knew that Liu Xin didn't sleep in Bian Yu's room yesterday, so she also laughed at this time: "Okay, husband, now that I'm getting more and more promising, I'm starting to visit the Kiji Courtyard." ”
Liu Xin sighed and said, "I thought your husband was easy, he hadn't even eaten a mouthful of food since morning, and he was arrested and interrogated by you." Take me to see my son first, I haven't seen him for a few days, and I really miss him. ”
Ma Yun said distressedly: "Look at the son, he can't run away, go eat first, he must be hungry, husband." ”
When Liu Xin and Ma Yun walked out of the house again, Liu Xin put his hands behind his back and strutted forward, and Ma Yun followed him closely like a tame kitten. Everyone in the hall looked at each other, this change was too fast, and the eyes that looked at Liu Xin couldn't help but be full of admiration.
Liu Xin still insisted on going to see his son first, and made sure that nothing had happened to him, so he came to the hall to eat with confidence. Bian Yu and Ying'er were also called out, they were still a little apprehensive at first, but Ma Yun was a straightforward surname, and after knowing the truth of the matter, she greeted them with a smile. The storm that everyone expected did not appear, so they were amazed one by one, and their admiration for Liu Xin went to the next level. Liu Xin was really hungry, he didn't care about everyone's eyes, he devoured it by himself, and ate three bowls in a row, and then put down his chopsticks with satisfaction.
After dinner, the ladies went to the back to rest. Liu Xin left everyone behind, discussed the next step of the itinerary, and felt that it would be better to leave for Jingzhou early tomorrow morning.
Waiting for everyone to leave, Tian Feng stopped Liu Xin and said, "Lord, please stay, my subordinates want to take a leave of absence to visit a friend." ”
