Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 548
In Liu Xun's house, Mother Liu was talking to Mrs. Liu, with an uneasy look on her face. Upon seeing this, Mrs. Liu said: "Mom, don't worry. Since you can visit in person, it's obviously not good for us." The family will investigate the past."

Mother Liu felt relieved a little. The mother and daughter were talking, and the subject of Liu's marriage came up again. Mother Liu said: "The newly appointed county magistrate has already asked a matchmaker to come to propose marriage. You think about it?" are you done?"

"Right now, he is the most popular person under Zhi Jun. If you can marry into his family, you will definitely be much better than the Jiao family, and our family will also be protected."

Ms. Liu lowered her head and said, "When Zhongqing and I left, we agreed not to separate. Now that my daughter thinks there is room for change, she might as well refuse."

Liu's mother sighed after hearing this. Just as she was about to speak, Liu's eldest brother Liu Xian walked in.

He had just sent Yuan Xi away and was in a good mood. After hearing what Mrs. Liu said, he suddenly became unhappy and said, "My little sister, there is something wrong with what I said. Our family's situation is different now. How can we act as we please? "

After hearing this, Liu's mother was surprised and said, "Son, are you unhappy in any way?"

Liu Xian said in a dull voice: "That's not true. Yuan Shijun has a kind face, but even though it is like this now, no one knows what will happen in the future. What's more, in today's world, no one knows the name of a fierce tiger. If he gets angry, How can our family afford it?”

"Li Shu adapts to the wind. He is not an ordinary person, and he must be respected by the emperor. He can propose marriage to our family, firstly, by using our Liu family's previous connections, and secondly, because of the emperor's face!"

"Now that our family is new, my father's position is unclear outside, so we must be cautious. If we reject Li Shu and offend him, and if he makes a few slanderous remarks in front of the envoy, we will die without knowing how!"

"Furthermore, Li Shu was previously engaged in business and his family was wealthy. Although he handed over half of his family property, the rest is still inexhaustible. Compared with my little sister's previous Jiao family, it is more than a hundred times stronger?"

"My little sister is so willful. Do you think our family is still in a situation where father is still alive and can protect the whole family?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu's eyes turned red, and she lowered her head and said, "My father is not here, and the eldest brother is like his father. Since the elder brother said this, the younger sister should follow it."

After hearing this, Liu Xian felt relieved and said with joy on his face, "Okay! I will send someone to reply to Li Shu right now!"

"My little sister is sensible and will not harm you because of my brother. When my little sister gets married, she will naturally understand my brother's painstaking efforts!"

He then whispered: "Brother, I have something to do, and I want my little sister to help me."

Ms. Liu wiped the tears from her eyes, raised her head and said to Liu Xian, "Brother, please speak."

Liu Xian lowered his voice and said: "Although we are married to Li Shu, if we just rely on him, the Liu family is afraid that we will not be able to have a direct relationship with the envoy in the future."

"Your Majesty is currently staying at Qiao Rui's house. I heard that my younger sister has a close relationship with the two girls from the Qiao family?"

"So while my little sister is not married yet, if she can meet the girl from the Qiao family and find out what her husband likes, we can match her preferences."

"Of course, it would be even better if we could take the opportunity to establish a relationship with the envoy!"

Although Mrs. Liu was unclear and unwilling, she could only respond at the moment: "Just listen to my brother's words. My little sister will send someone to Qiao Mansion to post a message right here."

However, before Ms. Liu could wait for the reply from the Qiao Mansion, news came from Li Shu. The matchmaker came to the court and paid homage to Liu Xian: "Congratulations, Sir. The Mansion Master is very happy and said that the marriage should be completed as soon as possible!"

"My husband has already asked someone to make a fortune, and he said that the next three days will be an auspicious day. He has prepared a betrothal gift of 300 million yuan and [-] pieces of miscellaneous colors, which will be delivered to the house tomorrow."

Liu's mother and Liu Xian both looked happy after hearing this. Liu Xian smiled at Mrs. Liu and said, "It's rare that the Lord of the House thinks so highly of me, my little sister is lucky!"

"Why don't you hurry back to the house to prepare the dowry? All the clothes, money and goods in our house will be handed over to my little sister."

Mrs. Liu forced a smile, went back to the house and took out the silk silk from the family treasury. Holding a knife and ruler in her hand, she began to make the wedding dress. She was very skilled in needlework, and in less than half a day, most of the skirt and blouse were ready.

But when she thought of her previous agreement with Jiao Zhongqing, she became more depressed and couldn't help but shed tears. At this moment, someone from Qiao Mansion sent a letter.

Mrs. Liu unfolded the silk book and read it, but it was written by Da Qiao. The letter said that the emperor was not in the mansion now, and it was time to meet. Mrs. Liu immediately got on the carriage and went to Qiao Mansion.

Not long after, the carriage entered the house, and there was a maid waiting to greet her. Mrs. Liu got out of the carriage and said, "Where are the two ladies?"

The maid looked around for a moment and whispered: "I am accompanying the envoy's wife. I am afraid that the lady will not know the inside story and disturb the lady, so I asked the slave to take the lady to the girl's room first."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu followed her maid all the way to Da Qiao's room. After waiting for a long time, Da Qiao came in.

When she saw Mrs. Liu, she hurried up, took Mrs. Liu's hand and said, "I didn't expect to see my sister again!"

Mrs. Liu was also quite sad, and stood up and said: "I have seen my sister and heard that my sister could not escape. I am also worried. I have been worried for a long time, and I heard that the envoy..."

After hearing this, Da Qiao smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you for your concern, sister. I didn't expect that after walking around in circles, I still came back here."

"How is sister doing?"

Mrs. Liu sighed, "I want to get married again."

Da Qiao was quite surprised when he heard this, "Someone proposes marriage to my sister?"

Mrs. Liu told Li Shu about sending someone to be a matchmaker. Da Qiao heard this and said, "I sincerely congratulate my sister. Li Fujun's family situation is much better than that of the Jiao family." Will the family husband never be separated?"

"Did something happen?"

Mrs. Liu forced a smile and said, "Don't mention my concubine's affairs. I'm here this time to ask the girl for help."

She told Liu Xian about his desire to make acquaintance with Yuan Xi, and finally said: "If this matter causes trouble to the girl, I can leave now."

After hearing this, Da Qiao frowned and said: "Sister used to take good care of us sisters. Logically speaking, I shouldn't refuse, but I have only met the envoy once and I don't understand his preferences at all."

She thought that although she had met Yuan Xi a few times, she didn't understand what he was like. According to rumors, he was very lecherous. Logically speaking, it would be quite appropriate to send a bunch of maids. However, after observing her in the past few days, the rumors did not agree. As truthfully as possible.

Da Qiao is still somewhat confident in his appearance. The fierce tiger can still control himself in front of him, so how can he care about those vulgar fans?

Mrs. Liu saw Da Qiao's embarrassed look on her face and said quickly: "Then this matter has been brought to light. It just so happens that I just wanted to come and see my sister. Now I have a reason to go back and let my brother stop thinking about it."

Da Qiao smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry for my sister. If I can think of something in the past few days, I will send someone to inform my sister. I also ask my sister to wait for a while."

After hearing this, Mr. Liu forced a smile and said, "I'm afraid it's too late."

"Because in three days, I will get married."

Da Qiao was shocked: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

She then sighed: "It must be difficult for my sister to be caught between three families, right?"

"But now that the matter has come to this, we can only let it take its course. But at that time, due to my sister's illness, there were some rumors, which really hurt my sister."

Ms. Liu knew that she had a strange knee disease and that she had taken out the white snake after treatment. Previously, the Liu family thought it was a common illness. Although the disease was not cured for a long time and affected Ms. Liu's marriage, it did not have much impact on her reputation.

However, after Hua Tuo took out the white snake from the sore on his knee, things changed subtly.

Because Emperor Gaozu was responsible for the White Snake Rebellion, and Liu Xun was a descendant of the clan, at that time in the Jianghuai area, there were Yuan Shu's subordinates and witches who were building momentum and vigorously promoted the idea that those who succeeded the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao.

These things were connected together, and Liu's illness became an ominous sign. Some nefarious people took the opportunity to exaggerate, and some people with ulterior motives added fuel to the flames. In the end, the rumors became more and more mysterious, and it actually affected Yuan Shu's campaign to proclaim himself emperor.

At that time, Liu Xun was working under Yuan Shu. Seeing the rumors getting more and more intense, he was afraid that Yuan Shu would be suspicious of him and bring harm to his family, so he didn't care about getting into a good family, and just wanted to marry his daughter off as soon as possible.

Because he was anxious to marry a girl, Liu Xun hurriedly selected a girl. Seeing that Jiao Zhongqing, his subordinate, was quite good-looking, he took the initiative to marry Liu into the Jiao family, who had a very ordinary family background.

Fortunately, the Liu family and Jiao Zhongqing had a close relationship after their marriage, but Jiao's mother was a nemesis and always felt that the Liu family was a nuisance. However, when Liu Xun was here, Jiao's mother took pictures of the Liu family's power, so she could only poke fun at her secretly. It's ugly to Mr. Liu.

Now that Liu Xun was defeated by Sun Ce and the Liu family lost power, Jiao's mother saw the opportunity coming and immediately encouraged her son to divorce the Liu family.

Mrs. Liu was actually soft on the outside but strong on the inside. After enduring it for a few years, she felt that there was no point in staying any longer. She was even more afraid of involving the Jiao family because of Liu Xun's affairs, so she immediately agreed to divorce and returned to the Liu family.

She thought very simply at first. If her family was convicted, Jiao Zhongqing would not be implicated. If she survived the disaster safely, she would still have a chance to reunite with him.

Mrs. Liu also did not expect that an abandoned wife with a poor reputation like herself would become a favorite overnight. Even Li Shu, who had just become the county governor, came to propose marriage to the Liu family.

Liu Xun was away, and Liu Xian was the head of the family, so Mrs. Liu was helpless now. Faced with Da Qiao's comfort, she felt increasingly depressed. Da Qiao also saw some clues and could only comfort her with words.

In Lu Lingqi's room, Xiao Qiao was chatting and joking with Lu Lingqi. She played the harp for a while, then handed it to Lu Lingqi and said, "Sister, try it."

Lu Lingqi took it. Her hearing memory was very good. She could remember Xiao Qiao's movements after seeing them once. However, the only thing the two of them had was their hand strength.

When playing a musical instrument, he is like Xiao Qiao. His fingers are weak and boneless, but he can use his wrist to move the strength of his finger knuckles, like spring breeze and rain. Only when he plucks the strings can he produce beautiful sounds.

But Lu Lingqi is different. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her finger strength is completely different from that of ordinary people. When she presses her fingers, her wrists naturally start to generate strength.

She has become accustomed to practicing martial arts. When she exerts force with her fingers, she mobilizes the strength of the entire spine. As the tail vertebra shakes, the strength spreads along the entire spine to the waist, and then to the shoulder blades. She has seen the shaking of several joints. Just when he reached his wrist, the strength at this time was already unusually strong.

When it is transmitted to the strings pressed by the fingers, it makes an extremely terrifying sound, like the hoarse neighing of a chicken that has been strangled by the neck, or the miserable howl of a pig before it dies.

Although Xiao Qiao, who was so close, looked pale, at the same time, a very penetrating voice came out of the window, allowing Da Qiao and Mr. Liu in the room outside, separated by seven or eight walls, to hear clearly.

Da Qiao had a wry smile on his face. Listening to the wailing music, Liu suddenly felt that this was quite in line with his current state of mind.
