Chapter 10 Liu Jingsheng's troubles

Liu Jing nodded and followed Sun Gan to the carriage quickly. Liu Bei felt a little sick and could not withstand the cold wind on the river, so he sat back on the carriage.

The carriage is wide and sturdy, and is a clothes carriage, also called a back carriage. It was first used in the palace to carry clothes. Because it can lie down and has windows on both sides, people from far-distance people are willing to ride this kind of carriage.

This is the carriage of Liu Bei's two wives. Liu Bei was exhausted all the way and felt sick. He was blown by the wind of the river just now, and his body became even more uncomfortable. His face looked very pale. He was lying on the thick bedding and could be seen in front of the car window.

"My nephew, I can't support myself, I'm a little rude." Liu Bei's slightly hoarse voice came from the carriage.

This is the first time Liu Jing saw Liu Bei. The first impression he had was that he had big ears, which was his signature. The rest looked ordinary. If he sat in the store, he would be a perfect shopkeeper. However, Liu Bei's smile was very friendly and friendly, which made people easily feel good about it.

There were two young women with delicate figures sitting in the carriage, probably the two ladies of Mi, Gan. They were both in their early twenties and very pretty. They were combed in the most popular fallen horse bun in the late Han Dynasty. They both wore straight long skirts, one with a green skirt, one with a red skirt, one with a white and round face, with a slightly mediocre appearance, while the other was extremely pretty.

Although Liu Jing didn't know who Mrs. Gan and who Mrs. Mi, he guessed that Liu Bei married Mrs. Mi in order to obtain financial support from the Mi family, and Mrs. Gan was just a concubine.

So if you wear a green skirt and look pretty, it should be Mrs. Gan. When a man takes a concubine, he always looks at his appearance first.

Perhaps because the two ladies were displaced with Liu Bei for a long time, they were used to living with the soldiers and did not avoid them.

Speaking of which, Liu Bei and Liu Biao are his elders. Liu Jing has been repeatedly advised by Wu Xiu to etiquette. Some younger generations must kneel down and bow down when they see elders, and so on, which makes him feel overwhelmed.

Now the problem arises. Liu Bei is sitting in the carriage, standing outside the carriage. If he kneels down and bows, his shadow will be gone. It is obviously inappropriate, so Liu Jing simply bows and bows.

"Sister Liu Jing, please see the emperor's uncle"

Liu Bei sat in the carriage, squinting his eyes at Liu Jing outside the carriage, and saw that he was eight feet tall, with wide shoulders, slightly longer face, with his eyebrows like a sword, his nose was straight and tall, and his appearance was extraordinary. Liu Bei secretly praised him, such a mighty young man.

Liu Jingsheng has several nephews, and he has also heard of them. However, although the boy in front of him is tall and magnificent, he does not have the kind of gentle and well-educated manner in his every move, but he is a bit...a bit like a wild and wild.

Even though he thought so, Liu Bei's face was still full of gratitude: "You don't have to be too polite. I just heard about Zilong's news, which made me feel relieved. Thank you for sending me the news. I will send someone to visit him immediately. I don't know how he is injured now."

"He was hit by a poisonous arrow, but fortunately he did not hurt his muscles and bones. After detoxification, he will recover after he is cared for another month."

"Oh, my dear nephew said he was chased by Cao's army all the way, so it must be thrilling."

"I can only say that I have good luck. Cao Cao personally sent someone to search the mountains, but we escaped. I heard that Cao's army had gone north."

Liu Jing was downplaying the matter of escape. He didn't want to talk too much. Liu Bei asked with concern: "Then why are you alone in Runan? Lingzun Lingtang?"

He was General Zhennan, Marquis Chengwu, and the governor of Jingzhou. He had been the lord of Jingzhou for eleven years. After eleven years of pacification and conquest, he had gone from being the governor of Liu of Jingzhou alone to becoming a vassal with more than 100,000 soldiers and a territory of thousands of miles today.

Liu Biao was in a bad mood because of his wife these days. His wife is the daughter of the Cai family in Xiangyang. She has been married for several years and has no children. She finally got pregnant a few months ago.

But just five days ago, my wife's stomach suddenly started to hurt and she invited all the famous doctors in Xiangyang to protect her fetus. In the end, she failed to save her baby and lost her child, which made Liu Biao feel very sad.

The prolonged offspring has always been a major event in the family of officials, especially Mrs. Cai. Her son is likely to become the lord of Jingzhou in the future. It is precisely because Mrs. Cai’s miscarriage became a big deal in the Liu family.

For two consecutive days, the Liu family spent the chaos. Even Liu Biao didn't care about official duties and stayed at home for two days to comfort his extremely painful wife.

When he woke up early in the morning, he came to visit his wife, wondering if her mood had improved.

Liu Biao walked down the steps with his hands behind his back, walked through an exquisite stone path, and came to a small courtyard. There was a small red building in the courtyard. This was the small courtyard where his wife lived. The bamboo in the courtyard was lush and green, particularly tall and green.

As soon as Liu Biao walked to the door, the door opened. A hunchbacked old woman in a cherry skirt walked out of the yard with a food box. She looked up and saw Liu Biao, she was startled and stood aside and bowed her head and said respectfully: "Master"

The old woman came with Mrs. Cai’s dowry. She was actually Mrs. Cai’s wet nurse and had been living in the Cai family. Because of miscarriage, Mrs. Cai brought the wet nurse to take care of herself.

"How is the situation of Madam? Is it better?" Liu Biao asked with concern.

The old woman sighed and shook her head, "Master, my wife is in a bad mood, she..."

"What's wrong with her?"

"Mrs. said she wanted to move back to her parents' home to recuperate."

"I understand, you go and do it."

Liu Biao looked at the old woman's hunched back and walked away, and his face suddenly sank. In the past two days, his wife asked to go to her parents' home to recuperate.

It was normal for a woman to go to her parents' home to recuperate, but Liu Biao knew the thoughts of the person next to her. She turned her guilt towards her into guilt towards the Cai family.

He married the daughter of the Cai family as his wife to marry the Cai family and for political benefit. However, Liu Biao still liked this young wife very much and accommodated her in everything, but Liu Biao was a little dissatisfied with her attitude towards her parents' family.

Generally speaking, it is normal for a wife to be slightly biased towards her parents' family. There must be a degree and not too much. However, his wife did not grasp this degree. She was too biased towards the Cai family and even did not hesitate to use miscarriage to make a fuss.

Liu Biao stopped when he was about to step into the yard. He pondered for a moment, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

...........

The Jingzhou Prefecture Government Office is located in the west of Xiangyang City, close to Liu Biao's mansion. It is the political center of the entire Jingzhou area, covering an area of ​​300 acres, with more than 100 officials of all sizes and Liu Biao's aides busy in this government office.

Under the escort of dozens of attendants, Liu Biao rode his horse to the government office. As soon as he arrived at the gate, a scholar came forward to report: "The envoy of the governor of Qibingzhou, the emperor's uncle Liu Xuande has arrived and is waiting in the guest hall."

Liu Biao's face showed a knowing smile, as if he knew that Liu Bei's envoy was coming, nodded and turned over and dismounted. At this time, Shu Zuo hesitated and said, "The one who came with him is the nephew of the governor of the state, Prince Jing."

Liu Biao was immediately overjoyed. Two days ago, he also heard about the war in Runan. After counting the time, his nephew Liu Jing happened to be passing through Runan, which made him very worried. He was afraid that he would encounter misfortune and worried that he would be taken hostage by Cao's army.

Now that he finally heard about him, Liu Biao was overjoyed, "Where is he? Take me to see him."

"Young Master Jing seems to be coming with Liu Biao's envoy. I heard that he met him in Runan."

Liu Biao walked quickly to the official office. As soon as he arrived at the corridor, an official in a purple robe turned out from behind the cylinder and bowed, "Lord, I have a word from my subordinate."

This man was about forty years old, seven feet and five feet tall, with wide shoulders, strong arms, slightly yellow skin, slender eyes, and a high and straight eagle-haired nose that made him look a little cunning. He was Liu Biaonei's brother, Cai Mao, who was the military advisor of Jingzhou at the time.

The four famous families in Jingzhou are Cai, Kuai, Pang and Huang. Among them, the Cai family in Xiangyang ranks first, and Cai Mao is the head of the Cai family. He holds great power in Jingzhou. He is not only Liu Biao's number one deputy, but also participates in military decision-making, but also holds tens of thousands of military power in Xiangyang and plays an important position in Jingzhou.

He had been waiting for a while, and finally arrived at Liu Biao, and said again: "I suggest that the lord should not see Liu Bei's envoy."

Although Liu Biao was a little dissatisfied with the Cai family because his wife quarreled to go back to her parents' home to protect her baby, he did not turn against Cai Mao for this little thing.

He smiled faintly with his hands behind his back, "Is it possible that Liu Bei's messenger has a sharp blade and has any evil intentions in his heart?"

He was implicitly telling Cai Mao that you were a little bit of a big deal and had a bad temper. Cai Mao blushed and quickly explained: "The person coming is Sun Qian. Of course, it's okay for the lord to see him. But Liu Bei is at the end of his journey and must be here to surrender to the lord. He will cause trouble to Jingzhou. If the lord takes over Liu Bei, he will find an excuse for Cao's army to attack Jingzhou."

Liu Biao glanced at Cai Mao and smiled, "See someone first, it seems that my nephew has come too. Have the military advisor seen him?"

"The lord said it was Mr. Jing. I just saw it. He is handsome, but..."

"But what?" Liu Biao looked at him a little strangely.

Cai Mao originally wanted to say that Liu Jing was mostly murderous intent, but he was less gentle and weak, unlike the Liu family's children, but when he said that, he swallowed it back and bowed and smiled, "Young Master Jing seems to be a martial arts practitioner."
