Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 18 Seeing Mrs. Cai Again

Only then did Liu Jing understand Liu Cong's intentions. It turned out that he wanted his own Xuanlin sword, so he set up a trap of tasting the sword, and exchanged the sword in his hand with courtesy and reciprocity.

No wonder he changed his attitude towards himself and became more enthusiastic.

In fact, Liu Jing didn't care much about this sword. He would rather Liu Biao give him a good sword. If Liu Biao didn't give this sword to him, it wouldn't hurt if he gave it to Liu Cong.

The point is that this is the sword that Liu Biao gave him, it is Liu Biao's personal sword, why did he give it to Liu Jing instead of his own son, there must be a reason for it, before he figured out the reason, he dared not take the sword in exchange for it. knife.

On the other hand, Liu Cong set up this situation to ask him for a sword, which really made Liu Jing feel uncomfortable. He felt that he was being fooled.

Although Liu Jing wanted Dian Wei's saber very much, he would never exchange principles. He put down the saber and said with a faint smile, "If brother Cong likes this sword, it's fine to give it to you, but it's Uncle bestows the sword, let me ask Uncle for instructions, and then present the sword to Brother Cong, okay?"

How dare Liu Cong let his father know that he just wanted to change the sword in private to hide it from his father. If Liu Jing wants to tell his father, what's the point of changing the sword?

He hated so much in his heart, he laughed dryly and said: "I was just joking with you, I didn't mean to ask for your sword, Brother Jing is too worried, haha!"

He didn't mention the matter of delivering the knives any more, he picked up three knives from the table and put them back into the cabinet. He glanced at the swords on the table out of the corner of his eye, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "By the way, I There is one more good thing to tell you."

"What's the matter, Brother Cong, please tell me!"

At this time, Liu Jing was full of disgust for this Liu Cong. According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Cong was weak and incompetent, but this Liu Cong in front of him was arrogant and hypocritical, and he had a small belly. He just said that he would give him the knife, but he took it back Well, it doesn't matter if I give myself a knife, wouldn't I think of a way to give him this sword?

Did he think that if he took his knife, he would suffer in vain?He doesn't even understand this bit of human sophistication.

Liu Jing felt that Liu Cong was not like the son of a vassal, but rather like the son of a vegetable vendor.

Liu Cong closed the cabinet and locked it again, then came back and said with a smile: "Didn't you say you wanted to learn sword last time? I've been keeping an eye out for you, and it happened that the No. [-] Sword Academy in Xiangyang was recruiting students, although their qualifications are relatively high , but with your identity, there should be no problem, do you want to give it a try?"

Liu Jing didn't know the rules of the sword gym, but he already knew who this Liu Cong was, and he was deliberately trying to take his own sword. It was very likely that this so-called No. [-] sword gym in Xiangyang was hiding some tricks.

Since Liu Jing learned the secrets of Zhao Yun's martial arts, he has lost the slightest interest in learning in sword halls. More importantly, he doesn't like this Liu Cong and doesn't want to deal with him more.

He stood up and said with a smile: "My martial arts skills are low, how can I be qualified to enter the sword hall to learn martial arts, thank you Brother Cong for your kindness, and I will leave."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left Liu Cong's study, and went back to his yard. Liu Cong didn't expect Liu Jing to flatly refuse, he was stunned, Liu Jing didn't give him face.

. . . . . . . . .

Early the next morning, Liu Jing was awakened from sleep by a knock on the door, and a ray of light shone through the crack of the window covered with oil paper. It turned out that it was already dawn.

He was depressed for a while, last night he was thinking of getting up before dawn to practice martial arts, but he didn't expect it to be dawn this time, but the night was quiet, which made him sleep extraordinarily soundly.

At this time, the door opened, and Uncle Meng's figure appeared at the door. He pointed to the door, "Young master, madam, please go over."

"I'm going right now!"

Liu Jing jumped up from the bed, very full of energy, Uncle Meng couldn't help grinning, the master was never so energetic before.

"Young master, wash up first! I boiled hot water."

"Thank you, Uncle Meng. I can use well water in the future. I'm not used to hot water."

Liu Jing stretched long, straightened his body, and the smile on his face became brighter. Although Mrs. Cai treated him coldly last time, he didn't want to care about it. After all, Mrs. Cai had just had a miscarriage not long ago, so he could understand that she lost her child. Mood.

Moreover, Mrs. Cai is the mistress of Liu's residence, so he should pay a visit to her due to emotion and reason.

In his previous life, Liu Jing himself was an extremely cheerful and forthright person. After traveling through 800 years, his human nature is the same.

His smile made Uncle Meng's nose a little sore, and he hurriedly walked out of the house, "My lord, let's hurry up, don't keep Madam waiting."

Liu Jing finished washing quickly, her hair was simply tied, and she appeared in front of the maid at the door energetically.

"Keep my sister waiting for a long time." The maid wearing a light green straight skirt looked at the lively Young Master Jing, sighed inwardly, and said softly, "Young Master Jing, please come with me!"

Liu Jing followed the maid to the inner house, looking around all the way, full of curiosity about the pavilions and pavilions in the inner courtyard of the back house, it turns out that the inner house of a rich family looks like this.

The maid leading Liu Jing was a little worried, "This boy, hey!Pity. . . . . . '

Walking across the small bridge, they entered an exquisite small courtyard. A vermilion two-story building appeared in front of Liu Jing. This was Mrs. Cai's dormitory. Generally, outsiders were not allowed to enter. Liu Jing was Liu Biao's nephew, and Household registration age is under 16 years old, you can enter.

"When you see Madam, you must be courteous!"

The maid repeatedly urged him, and brought him to the front of the building. The westernmost part of the first floor is the small living room for receiving friends and guests. The maid walked to the door of the living room and saluted, "Ma'am, he is here."

"Come in!" The voice in the room was extremely cold, with hatred in his tone. The smile on Liu Jing's face disappeared. He remembered the first time he met Mrs. Cai that day. Mrs. Cai seemed to hate him very much. remove.

There is no unreasonable love in the world, and there is no unreasonable hatred. He wants to find out exactly where he offended her, Mrs. Cai?

. . . . . . . . .

In the room, Mrs. Cai changed into a white embroidered gown around the breast, her eyes were cold, she did not tell her husband about the witches, she knew that her husband had always hated the art of witches, and if she said it, he would be dissatisfied with her.

She will not mention this matter again, but Liu Jing is engraved in her heart, like a poisonous thorn stuck in the most painful part of her heart.

Calling Liu Jing here today was only her duty as an elder and the mistress of the family. Last night, her husband specially asked her to treat her nephew well.

A dark shadow appeared at the door, and the tall and strong Liu Jing walked in. This was the second time they met. Although it had been a month since the first meeting, she still couldn't restrain herself when she thought of her dead child. With hatred for Liu Jing, she believed that Liu Jing killed her child.

Liu Jing was about to salute, but Mrs. Cai stopped him with a wave of her hand, and said coldly, "You don't need to pay respects to me in the future, not every junior's big gift I can accept."

Liu Jing really heard it harshly, Mrs. Cai's dislike of him made the tolerance in his heart disappear, and he also hated Mrs. Cai extremely, since there is no need to pray, it would be best.

"Auntie, what can I do for you?"

"Also... don't call me aunt, just like the people in the house, call me madam."

Mrs. Cai turned her head to the roof, and there was an unconcealable contempt and hostility in her cold tone. Liu Jing also fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

"What do you want to tell me?" Mrs. Cai glanced at Liu Jing.

Liu Jing resisted the urge to turn around and walk away. Now he clearly felt Madam Cai's hostility. This hostility was not because of her low mood due to miscarriage, but was aimed at him, Liu Jing.

Maybe he threatened her interests. It should be like this. He and Mrs. Cai have no grievances or enmities, and have nothing to do with each other, so hostility will not arise for no reason. Only when interests are threatened, hostility will appear. It should be behind the scenes. Things I don't know.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing's tone also became cold, "Is there anything Madam wants from me?"

Mrs. Cai gave him a strange look, and she also felt that the respect in Liu Jing's tone disappeared, just like a passerby, but she didn't care.

"Your uncle told me last night that you have been living in the mansion for a month and asked me to care about your life, so I will ask you today, what do you need?"

Liu Jing bowed slightly and said, "Let Madam worry about it, now I live well and don't need anything."

Mrs. Cai sneered in her heart, she was quite stubborn, she thought of what her husband had entrusted to her, and hoped that the Cai family would give him Shaoyu, she hated Liu Jing even more in her heart, a person who killed her own child, and wanted to marry her niece ?

She took out Liu Jing's Yuan Jian and asked coldly, "Do you know why I asked you about Yuan Jian?"

Liu Jing's heart skipped a beat. Why did Mrs. Cai ask such a question? Did she have doubts about her identity?

From the moment he entered the door, he found that Mrs. Cai was an extremely shrewd woman, coupled with the unique sensitivity of a woman, so don't let her see any flaws.

Liu Jing felt uneasy and shook her head, "I don't know."

Liu Jing didn't even know that he was involved in the marriage between Liu and Cai, and he didn't think that Mrs. Cai didn't doubt the authenticity of his identity, but to find a way to prevent him from marrying the daughter of the Cai family.

Mrs. Cai raised the Yuan Jian in her hand and asked, "About this Yuan Jian, didn't your uncle say anything to you?"

Liu Jing shook his head, "Uncle didn't say anything to me."

"Really not?"

Madam Cai stared at him sharply, "For example, something like a marriage contract."

"It's true, not to mention any marriage contract."

Mrs. Cai is relieved, if this is the case, she can manipulate the matter.

Marriage between men and women in the Han Dynasty was first of all a marriage proposal, that is, a marriage proposal. Both men and women could speak first. For example, Princess Pingyang, the elder sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, loved the general Wei Qing. She first proposed her idea to the queen. The queen told Emperor Wu that Emperor Wu of the Han ordered Wei Qing marry it.

In the pre-Qin period, there were also children who chose their own spouses, but they had to get permission from their parents. For example, Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru had a heart-to-heart relationship, but Wenjun's father refused, so Wenjun ran away at night.

After the marriage proposal is successful, the onmyoji will write the gengtie according to the Yuan simplified, and then send the gengtie to the other party to check the horoscopes of both men and women. This is called divination by name.

Therefore, in a marriage, marriage proposal is the most important thing. Generally, if the marriage proposal is successful, the marriage is basically settled.

As the lord of Jingxiang, Liu Biao proposed to marry the Cai family, and wanted his nephew Liu Jing to marry Cai Shaoyu, the daughter of the Cai family. Naturally, the Cai family did not dare to refuse, but they did not agree, so the matter was delayed.

Mrs. Cai is not only the elder of Liu Jing, the wife of Liu Biao, but also the daughter of the Cai family, so she plays a vital role in this marriage. Although she is unwilling to facilitate this marriage, there are some superficial things to do. After all, she wanted to give her husband an explanation.

She had to confirm whether Liu Jing knew about the marriage, but she couldn't ask directly, so she used Yuan Jian to beat around the bush.

Now that she knows that Liu Jing doesn't know about the marriage, the next step is to try to block this marriage in the marriage proposal, so that the marriage proposal fails, and she must not go to the step of divination.

Mrs. Cai forced a smile, "Go back first! I'll ask the housekeeper to send you some belongings later. In addition, your monthly allowance is [-] yuan, just like Xiu'er. This is the rule of the mansion. I hope you can understand .”

Liu Jing got up and saluted, "Nephew is taking his leave."

He left Mrs. Cai's small courtyard, heaved a sigh of relief, and hated Mrs. Cai so much in his heart, it was best not to see her again in the future.

In the room, Mrs. Cai read Liu Jing's birth date again, bowed her head in thought for a while, then turned to the maid and said, "Let Second Young Master come to see me."

The maid went away in response, and after a while, there was a rush of running into the yard, then stopped suddenly, and approached the door cautiously, a respectful voice sounded at the door, "My lord, the child is here. "

"come in!"

Liu Cong walked into the room quickly, knelt down on both knees, and kowtowed three times, "Liu Cong, my son, I pay my respects to your mother."

He has a nice voice, which makes people feel friendly. Among the three sons of the Liu family, Mrs. Cai likes Liu Cong the most.

Last year, I wanted to eat lychees, but I just mentioned it casually, and Liu Cong immediately ordered someone to quickly buy a hundred catties of lychees from Bashu. When the lychees arrived, the branches were still fresh, and he was more considerate of her than her husband. like.

Mrs. Cai smiled slightly, "Have you met your cousin Liu Jing?"

Liu Cong didn't dare to stand up, knelt down and replied, "My child has seen it."

Liu Cong didn't know why his mother mentioned Liu Jing, but he was extremely smart and immediately thought of the matter of marriage.

Does mother also want to betroth Shaoyu to Liu Jing?Nope!Mother had clearly promised herself to give Shaoyu to herself, how could she change her mind?Liu Cong felt uneasy.

Mrs. Cai glanced at him, as if she could see through his thoughts. She was secretly proud that if she had a rival in love, she didn't need to show herself, so she said unhurriedly: "What your father means is to let Jing'er marry Shaoyu, what do you think I should do about this?"
