Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 162 Thanks and No Thanks
Liu Bei laughed and said, "I didn't expect General Xiaochen to have such experience in growing flowers besides being good at strategy."

"Isn't that just like Liu Gong, who marched and fought, but also has a deep research on medicinal materials?" Chen Wei laughed.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they both wanted to see each other late.

Chen Wei asked: "How many children does Liu Gong have now?"

Liu Bei laughed and said, "There is only one girl, seventeen years old, named Rui, the pistil of the flower stamen."

Chen Wei was stunned, thinking that Liu Chan, the "unwilling to miss Shu", hadn't been born yet, but Chen Wei inadvertently noticed a little, and found that when Liu Bei mentioned his daughter, his eyes seemed sad.It seems that there is some unspeakable past between the father and daughter.

……

"Leaving these flowers outside for too long will affect their growth. It's better to put them in the corridor. Otherwise, these beautiful flowers will lose their color a lot." Chen Wei was also aroused by the interest in growing flowers back then. He reached out and picked up a pot of flowers.

"stop--"

Suddenly, there was a hysterical scream from the corridor door of the medicine garden.

Chen Wei paused his hands and looked towards the source of the sound, but saw a frail girl standing there with her brows tightly frowned. To Chen Wei's surprise, that cheek was so pale that there was no blood at all. The people in Yangjian are not even the slightest bit popular.

Looking into her eyes, Chen Wei felt that what he was holding was not a flower pot, but her child.Those originally beautiful eyes were full of anger.

"Who told you to touch my flowers?" The frail girl walked over and snatched the potted flowers from Chen Wei's hand.Touching fingers, Chen Wei only felt that the other party's slender hands were cold, just like her voice, although it was beautiful, it gave off a chilly feeling.

It seems that this girl is Liu Rui, Liu Bei's daughter.When Liu Wei walked in and snatched the flowerpot in her hand, Chen Wei was finally able to see her face clearly at a close distance.Although her face is pale and cold, her overall facial features are still beautiful and pleasant, just like the crabapple flower in her hand, delicate and elegant, but her brows are slightly frowning and slightly sad, as if there is a deep sadness hidden in her heart, which makes people feel more A little pity.

"Don't touch my flowers." The weak girl's voice was not loud, but it made people tremble.

But before Chen Wei could speak, Liu Rui gave Chen Wei and Liu Bei a hard look with her sad and misty eyes, turned around and left with the potted flower in her arms.

Chen Wei looked at the thin figure of Liu Rui leaving, and thought that Liu Rui's eyes seemed to include not only anger towards himself, but also resentment towards Liu Bei.

When Chen Wei saw Liu Bei's sad eyes watching his daughter leave, it seemed to confirm his previous guess that the father and daughter did not seem to be so harmonious.

"General Xiaochen, she is my daughter, I'm sorry, I made you laugh." Liu Bei apologized.

Chen Wei smiled and said: "It's okay... But Qianyuan seems to be in a bad mood..."

Liu Bei sighed softly, but stopped talking.

Chen Wei saw that Liu Bei seemed to have something to hide, so he didn't insist.

However, after Liu Bei pondered for a while, his eyes were foggy, and he said slowly: "Although I have a daughter Liu Rui, I have never had any heirs. When I was in Xuzhou, my subordinate Mi Zhu married her sister to me, and that year Liu Rui's mother just passed away from an illness, and after her serious illness, her body became weak, and she didn't want to talk to my father anymore... Actually, I know she blamed me for killing her mother..."

In ancient times, there were three kinds of unfilial piety, the worst being having no descendants.People with royal blood, like Liu Bei, pay special attention to the succession of their children.Liu Bei had only one daughter for so many years, not only himself, but even his subordinates could not accept it.Therefore, taking concubines and having children was perfectly natural for any family at that time, let alone someone with status and reputation like Liu Bei.

"Her mother loved flowers before she was alive, so she also liked flowers very much. After my mother left, she ignored me and spent almost all day with flowers. She once said that her mother did not leave her, but became a Hua, always by her side."

"After her serious illness, her body became very weak. Although I am good at medicine, I make people make medicine for her to drink every day. But she devotes herself to taking care of these flowers. When the flowers bloom, she can be happy all day; When the flowers wither, she will hold the flower bone and cry for a day. If it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid that she will eventually wear down her body and harm herself..."

Chen Wei listened fascinated, and muttered to himself, isn't this the Three Kingdoms version of Lin Daiyu?

"What jade?" Liu Bei asked in amazement.

"Cough, cough, I mean Miss Liu Rui is pure and pure, and the auspicious person will be blessed by God." Chen Wei said hastily.

Liu Bei smiled wryly and said, "The irony is that even if I marry a second wife, I have never been able to have children, which makes me feel even more sorry for their mother and daughter..."

Seeing Liu Bei immersed in self-blame and sadness, Chen Wei finally couldn't help revealing the secret: "Grand Liu, maybe Mrs. Gan will give birth to a son for you in a short time."

Liu Bei was startled, and looked at Chen Wei, "Why is General Xiao Chen so sure that Mrs. Gan will give birth to a son for me?"

Liu Bei has two wives at the moment, one is Mrs. Mi, and the other thinks it is Mrs. Gan.

"I just speak from my feeling, my sixth sense has always been very accurate!" Chen Wei randomly found an excuse to evade it, thinking to himself, not only do I know that you will have a son, but I also know that his name is Liu Chan.

Liu Bei naturally didn't know what the sixth sense was, but seeing Chen Wei being so sure, he was a little happy, and said with a smile: "If you can really follow General Xiaochen's words, you will definitely recognize General Xiaochen as your uncle and name my child that day. "

Chen Wei couldn't help laughing, but he didn't expect that he would leave a favor with his unintentional loss.

"It's getting dark, I've ordered my servants to arrange the wing rooms, so it won't prevent General Xiaochen from going to bed early, and I'll invite General Xiaochen to dinner tomorrow, thank you for your support!" Liu Bei laughed.

The night was really deep, but Chen Wei, who was lying on the bed, tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.My mind sometimes thinks of Diao Chan who is far away in Chang'an, and sometimes thinks of Dong Bai in Luoyang.

He has become a great general, and with tens of thousands of troops, he is not what he used to be. Although he is far away, within Chang'an, no one who dares to look at Diao Chan has the guts to hurt her; what bothers him is the coma Unconscious Dong Bai.

The night was quiet, and the disturbed Chen Wei still got up, walked out of the corridor outside the room alone, looked at the crescent moon slanting to the west, and listened to the occasional chirping of insects from the flowers, full of thoughts.

Suddenly, Chen Wei saw in the courtyard at the end of the corridor, under the moonlight, a beautiful figure squatting on the ground, actually watering the flowerpot.

Looking at Yiqian's delicate and thin figure, recalling the girl's past, Chen Wei was deeply moved, hesitated for a moment, and walked over.

"Watering is crucial, but it should be watered around the soil of the flowerpot, so that the water can slowly penetrate to the bottom, which is conducive to the absorption of the roots, instead of directly pouring it on the main trunk, which will make the roots too wet and prone to insects. It's broken..." Chen Wei stood behind her and observed for a while, then couldn't help but said softly.

Liu Rui's delicate body trembled, as if startled by the sudden sound, she turned her head and glanced at Chen Wei, her pale but beautiful and clean face showed no expression, she picked up the flower plate in her hand and left.

Chen Wei smiled wryly, it seems that this girl has become autistic and doesn't like contact with outsiders.

He turned around to leave, but the footsteps of the autistic girl stopped at the corner of the corridor, and a cold voice came faintly: "Then why is the soil still easy to dry after watering?"

Chen Wei listened to this cold voice without the slightest emotion, and secretly sighed in his heart that this girl was so beautiful and moving, why her voice didn't have the slightest vitality.

"Because the air in winter is very dry and the evaporation is relatively large, you can replace it with a larger flowerpot. Because there is more soil and water storage, it is not easy to dry or put the flowerpot in a shallow water basin, and the water can flow continuously due to capillary action. Supply flower needs."

"What is a capillary?" The girl frowned slightly.In Chen Wei's eyes, this cold girl had more emotions that a human should have, and suddenly became vivid and beautiful. He smiled slightly and said, "Uh, it's normal that you don't understand. But you can understand my method." gone."

"Oh." The girl hummed softly, took a step forward and took it back, and continued to ask: "The petals in winter seem to be a little dry..."

"Then put a few water basins next to the flower tray to increase the humidity of the surrounding air, so that the petals will look much better." Chen Wei replied.

"Oh." The autistic girl said again, just took a step and left without looking back.

Chen Wei shrugged his shoulders, said "No thanks" to himself, and put it back in his room the way he came.

After the girl walked to the end of the wooden bridge, she turned her head to look at the figure from behind, and said softly: Thank you.
