Liu Xin even said three "good" words, his opinion of Fu Wan has changed greatly, although from the time he saw Fu Wan, Liu Xin took a mouthful of a sister-in-law, in fact, it was just a polite word on his lips, but he didn't have a little respect for Fu Wan in his heart, Liu Hua is the eldest princess of Yang'an of Emperor Heng of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xin called Fu Wan his sister-in-law, which is equivalent to recognizing Liu Hua's sister, in this way, his identity as a clan relative of the Han family is even more certain, but Liu Xin did not expect that Fu Wan suffered the pain of losing his child. can also dissuade yourself from adding too much burden to the people, which is very commendable.

Cheng Yu was already on the side and said with a smile: "Lord Fu, you are too worried, forcibly conscripting the people and plundering the people's property, my lord has always hated the most, rebuilding Chang'an and Luoyang naturally requires a lot of manpower, and it is inevitable to recruit the people, but my lord's guild will pay all the people, you can rest assured, with the wealth of the entire Jingzhou as the backing, rebuilding the two cities is just a trivial matter." ”

Fu Wan asked in surprise: "Could it be that Jingzhou is really so rich." ”

Of course, Liu Xin will not take out money from Jingzhou's finance to rebuild Chang'an and Luoyang, after more than half a year of war, the burden of Jingzhou's treasury is already quite heavy, not to mention the direct consumption in the war, just the pension of the casualties and their families is a lot of expenses, and the money and materials needed to rebuild these two cities can only be spent from the seized family property of Dong Zhuo and others, but Liu Xin can't say it clearly, because the family wealth of these people is also the people's fat and people's ointment looted,

Cheng Yu is naturally clear about these situations, he said this to help Liu Xin break the siege, and what Cheng Yu said was backed by Jingzhou's financial resources, not to use Jingzhou's financial resources to rebuild Chang'an and Luoyang.

Liu Xin gave Cheng Yu a thumbs up, and said to Fu Wan: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid you haven't been to Xiangyang yet, so tomorrow I will let someone escort you to Xiangyang, you can not only enjoy the scenery of Jingzhou, but also reunite with your family, killing two birds with one stone, why not." ”

Of course, Fu Wan had no opinion on such an arrangement, and he was so grateful that he burst into tears.

After Wuguan was conquered, Chang'an to Xiangyang was already a smooth road, Liu Xin accepted the advice of the strategists, sat in Chang'an, although he could not return to Xiangyang in person, but it did not prevent the information and intelligence from being transmitted back.

With Cao Ying's defeat and escape, Xiangyang City has returned to its previous hustle, even more lively than in the past.

The three-day imperial examination is over, but those Confucian scholars, warriors, and craftsmen who came to take the exam are still staying in Xiangyang to wait for the final results, according to the regulations, the list will be announced in seven days, and the three-day examination is exhausting, and these people who take the exam will naturally have to indulge, so the business of the Qinglou Tavern is exceptionally better,

Not only that, the news that Xiangyang City encountered strong enemies twice and was safe and sound gradually spread out, in troubled times, some of the big families in the surrounding counties and even other states began to move to Xiangyang's brains, Xiangyang's houses and land skyrocketed two or three times almost overnight, but it was still in short supply, after all, for these rich people, their surnames are more important, and it is much more practical to find a safe place to live than to make a lot of money.

Ma Yun's mood gradually relaxed, the news of defeating Cao Ying this time came out, it is estimated that no blind prince dares to come to Xiangyang's idea, and Liu Rui, who worries her the most, also returned to Xiangyang safely under the escort of Sun Ce, for Liu Rui's surname, Ma Yun was originally going to be severely punished, but considering that she made a mistake, she let Zhao Yun copy Cao Ying's back road, which can be regarded as a contribution, and only locked her up for two days.

Zhu Qian, who was worried a few days ago, was reluctant to let her daughter get up at this time, and said to Ma Yun: "Madam, Rui'er, her surname is very active, and I am afraid that she will be sick if she is locked up for two days, so I beg Mrs. to remember that she is young and ignorant, so spare her this time." ”

Ma Yun sighed: "How can you say hello, don't give her a lesson this time, next time she can poke a hole in the sky, it's too late to cry by then, I don't want to do this to her, I just want to let her out, I have to find a suitable reason, otherwise where will she keep the mistake she made this time in mind." ”

While she was talking, Qiao'er ran in in a hurry and said loudly, "Madam, madam, the master has sent a letter." ”

Ma Yun and Zhu Qian said happily together: "Where is the letter?" ”

Qiao'er hesitated: "There is only one letter from the master, and it is for the lady. ”

Ma Yun took the letter and looked at it, only three Arabic numerals "520" were written on the huge piece of paper, Ma Yun's face was slightly red, and her eyes flashed with crystal tears, this kind of number game was not very popular in their original era, but now they suddenly saw it, but there was a different feeling,

Qiao'er saw Ma Yun looking at the letter paper silently, and couldn't help asking, "Madam, what did the master say in the letter?" ”

Ma Yun had already noticed that Zhu Qian's mood was slightly lost, so she gently closed the letter and asked flatly, "Nothing, is there anything else?" ”

Qiao'er hurriedly handed over a pamphlet and said, "The master also asked people to bring back some jewels for the ladies, and even the maidservants have a share." ”

Zhu Qian has always understood that her identity cannot be compared with Ma Yun, but the child in her belly is about to be born, and after Zhang Ji took the pulse, it is a male fetus, Zhu Qian is worried that she has no status in Liu Xin's heart, and this child will not be favored by Liu Xin in the future, Zhu Qian's first few girls have not thought so much, after all, girls will marry one day, and boys are different, even if they don't expect to inherit the throne, they always hope to be able to share more family property, since they know that they are pregnant with a male fetus, Zhu Qian's mind changed slightly,

I heard that Liu Xin also had jewelry for them, Zhu Qian's mood calmed down a little, which shows that Liu Xin is still thinking about them in her heart, and these changes in the expression on Zhu Qian's face naturally can't escape Ma Yun's eyes, but Ma Yun doesn't say it.

The jewels recorded in the booklet were personally selected by Liu Xin from the Chang'an Taishi's Mansion, with gold ornaments, pearls, and agate tortoiseshells, all of which are rare treasures, and each piece of jewelry is indicated to whom it is given, even Qiao'er and Ying'er, these girls are also shared, and among the children, only one is prepared for Liu Rui, because Liu Rui is already in her prime, she is a big girl to be married, and she also needs to dress up.

Ma Yun hurriedly looked at this, suddenly her eyes lit up, and said to Zhu Qian: "I have a way to exonerate Rui'er, the master remembers it clearly on this list, and he also brought a few pieces of jewelry to Rui'er, you call Rui'er out in the name of letting her try on jewelry, I will treat it as if I don't know, so it's okay." ”

Zhu Qian didn't expect that Liu Xin could remember to prepare a few pieces of jewelry for Liu Rui's stepdaughter, so she was overjoyed, agreed, and walked out happily.

Ma Yun continued to look forward, but saw that Zhu Rong's name was also written on this list, but a bunch of silver jewelry was prepared for her, Ma Yun nodded thoughtfully, and said to Qiao'er: "What has Miss Zhu been doing recently, you go and invite her here." ”

Zhu Ji is an idle surname, last time Ma Yun locked her up for three days, she had to go to the martial arts training ground to fiddle with Fang Tian's halberd, now it is too peaceful, I want her to sit in the house, it is really a nerve-wracking thing, Ma Yun used a lot of brains, and came up with an idea, let her be responsible for protecting the safety of these women and children in the backyard of the state pastoral mansion, Zhu Rong also gladly accepted the order, and took her four cousins every day to patrol the backyard with her armor, and it was precisely because of this "heavy responsibility" that Cao Ying attacked in a big way, Zhu Rongcai didn't appear at the city gate, otherwise he would give Ma Yun a headache again.

Although she found a reason to tie Zhu Rong's body to the state pastor's mansion, but it also made her mix the backyard of the state pastor's mansion thoroughly, Zhu Rong has always been very arrogant, and she will not be overly concerned about everything, and several ladies and children are also willing to be close to her.

Although she is the daughter of the barbarian patriarch, she grew up in a difficult environment since she was a child, and Zhu Rong also needs to master a lot of survival skills in the wild.

In the past few days, the various courtyards of the state pastor's mansion have almost been turned around by her, but there are only two places where she has not entered, one is the two-story building, which is not only the ancestral hall of the Liu family, but also preserves many secrets of Liu Xin and Ma Yun.

There is also a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, the door is locked, but occasionally you will see maids sending some food inside, these maids who deliver food do not enter the courtyard, but just open a small window next to the courtyard door, hand the food in, and then take away some dishes,

Zhu Rong couldn't help but be curious, wondering if there were any important people locked up here, she was embarrassed to ask Ma Yun, so she instructed Zhu Yan to inquire with the maids in the house,

The maids didn't want to say it at first, they couldn't stand Zhu Yan's hard work, and sent some small silver jewelry, so they heard some news, and hurriedly came to tell Zhu Rong, saying: "Sister, I inquired clearly, there are three girls in the courtyard, and they have been locked up for half a year, and I heard that the master personally ordered them to sit in confinement." ”

Zhu Rong couldn't help but be stunned, and said in surprise: "Half a year of confinement, Mrs. locked me up for three days, I can't stand it, this is half a year to be confined, don't drive people crazy, what kind of big crime did those girls commit, the master wants to be so ruthless." ”

Zhu Yan shook his head and said: "Sister, I only heard about this, and I refused to say it if I asked them again, it seems that they are very wary of those girls, and it is said that no one is allowed to enter this courtyard except for the lady and the third lady, not even the second lady." ”

The more he couldn't figure out the situation, the more uncomfortable Zhu Rong's heart became, and he waved his hand again and again, saying, "No, no, I must find a way to go in and see who is inside." ”
