Chapter 784
,,,,,,,,,,,,
Liu Jing was a little amused. Since a few years ago, his wife Tao Zhan started using silver hairpins and copper hairpins. Most of the dresses were made of fine linen. She has been leading by example for so many years, and she can wear jade hairpins. In order to attract business, this decoration store actually used her wife to promote it, which made Liu Jing feel a little disgusted.
But he would not turn against such a small person, but just said lightly: "Don't put the princess out casually, it will not do you."
The manager then found out that several followers behind him were glaring at him, scaring him so much that he shivered all over. He didn't dare to say anything later. He quickly picked up a pair of bracelets and introduced to Xiao Qiao: "The pair of gold bracelets are each inlaid with six precious gems, ruby, sapphire, cat's eyes, emerald, topaz and green amber, also called the Six-Star bracelet, which costs ten thousand yuan. If you are sincere in buying, you can get a little cheaper, at least 25,000 yuan."
Before Xiao Qiao could speak, Liu Jing said, "I bought it."
The manager was overjoyed and quickly put away the bracelet with a jade box. Liu Jing glanced at Xiao Qiao's snow-white neck again and said with a smile: "I want to buy a string of pearl necklaces, but there is one."
In the cabin, Xiao Qiao put a string of dazzling pearl necklaces on her neck. The pearl necklaces were made of twenty-four pearls, each pearl was as big as a grape, crystal clear and round, supporting her to be particularly pretty. Xiao Qiao sighed softly, including a hairpin, wrist bracelet, this pearl necklace, and clothing and powder. After visiting the streets, Liu Jing spent 100,000 yuan on her.
Of course, it was not a matter of money, but Liu Jing's attitude towards her. Even her maid could see that Liu Jing had no affection for her. Xiao Qiao was very confused. She also liked Liu Jing's aura and young and heroic appearance. With Liu Jing's care and courtesy for her, she knew that it was easy to get her body with Liu Jing's status, just like Cao Cao planned to get her, but he treated her with courtesy. This kind of warmth touched her and touched her heart.
However, Xiao Qiao always felt a little hesitant when she thought of Liu Jing's special identity. It was this hesitation that made her feel inexplicably resisted Liu Jing and didn't want to get close to him. But Xiao Qiao hated that she was not firm enough. He bought so many valuables for herself, why did she accept it if she had accepted it after she bought herself so many valuables.
At this time, the maid Shuang'er saw the conflict in Xiao Qiao's heart and whispered: "If the wife doesn't want to accept it, the maid is willing to send it back for the wife."
Shuang'er is Xiao Qiao's personal maid. She has served her for ten years. The two are called masters and servants. In fact, they are like sisters. If there is anything, Xiao Qiao will not hide it from her. Xiao Qiao sighed and shook her head and said, "Since you have accepted it and you will get back again, it will annoy him. We will be sad in the future."
"But the lady doesn't seem to like him."
Xiao Qiao turned around and glared at her, "Don't draw conclusions randomly as you take it for granted."
"Oh, it turns out that my wife likes him." Shuang'er blinked and smiled: "Mrs. said she always wanted to go to Chengdu, but it turned out that it was for him."
"I'm talking nonsense again."
Xiao Qiao lowered her face and said, "If you talk nonsense again, I will drive you out."
"But the lady herself said she liked him."
Although Xiao Qiao kept saying that she wanted to drive her out, she wanted to tell her in her heart. She frowned slightly and said worriedly: "This has nothing to do with whether she likes her or not. His identity is extraordinary. If he ruled the world in the future, I don't know how many concubines there will be in the harem. Why am I old and weak, and I am left alone in a corner. My whole life will pass away alone. It's better to stay in the Zhou Mansion, at least I still have freedom."
"Since that's the case, why do you have to go to Chengdu? Why should you go back to Jianye with your eldest wife?"
"It's okay for her to go back to Jianye. After all, her identity is different. Sun Quan dares not touch her easily. What do I think I will still be given to Cao Cao after returning to Jianye."
Speaking of this, Xiao Qiao sighed softly, "Who else can protect me except him in the world?"
Shuang'er lowered her head and thought for a moment, and whispered: "Or, let's see Princess Shangxiang first and listen to her opinion."
Xiao Qiao shook her head, stared at Shuang'er with a solemn expression and said, "There is a saying that I want to tell you first. You must not reveal any news in front of Princess Shangxiang, and you must not let anyone know that the King of Han is interested in me. Do you remember?"
Shuang'er rarely saw his master be so serious. She was so scared that she nodded repeatedly, "Shuang'er remembers it."
............
As the Chinese New Year approaches, every household in Chengdu has hung lanterns, picked up bamboo banners, cleaned up houses, killed pigs and sheep, and started preparing to worship ancestors. Even sixteen death-fury lanterns were hung in front of the Han King's official palace and the military camp gate.
This winter, the entire Yangtze River Basin has snowed heavily, and Chengdu is no exception. A heavy snow has made Chengdu covered in silver and turned into a snowy world, making the breath of the year stronger, and the thick snow has become a happy world for children. There are children's snowball fights and snowmen everywhere, and laughter resounds inside and outside the city.
In the room, eight-year-old Liu Zhi was sitting in front of practicing calligraphy, but today he was a little restless and secretly looked out at the thick snow from time to time. He longed to be able to spend wild wars and build snowmen like an ordinary child.
"Brother, come and help me." A tender and tender shout came from the yard. It was the six-year-old Liu Zhu calling for her brother. Her hands were cold red. She held a shovel and had a small snowman piled up. But it was not interesting to play alone, so she wanted to pull her brother to play with her.
Liu Zhi sighed. He was the king of Han and he had a natural relationship with a child. Liu Zhi had to lower his head and continue practicing calligraphy. At this time, Liu Zhu sneaked into the room, slammed a snowball on his brother, and then ran out with a giggle.
Liu Zhi could no longer hold it back. He bit his lip, put down his pen, and left the position and slipped out. Maybe he could secretly build a snowman and then go back to practice calligraphy.
Liu Zhu had already pinched a bunch of snowballs under the tree. When she saw her brother running out, she screamed loudly with excitement and swung her hand to smash the snowballs at her brother. Liu Zhi laughed loudly, and also pinched a snowball and threw it at her sister. He rushed forward and grabbed her sister. The two of them rolled in the snow with laughter.
At this moment, Liu Zhi felt something. When he looked up, he saw his mother appearing at the door at some point and staring at him with anger on his face. He was so scared that he stood up in a hurry and lowered his head without saying anything. Liu Zhu also stuck out her tongue and hid behind the tree. She wanted to run away, but she was afraid that her brother would be scolded.
Tao Zhan walked forward slowly and asked coldly: "Your homework is done."
"Not yet," Liu Zhi replied in a low voice.
"Have you finished halfway?"
Liu Zhi lowered his head and didn't dare to speak anymore. Tao Zhan said angrily: "From early in the morning to now, it's been more than two hours. You haven't even finished writing two words. What are you doing? Where are you thinking? If you want to play, just play. Don't eat or sleep. Do whatever you want."
Liu Zhi knelt down, tears rolling in his eyes, and he said aggrievedly: "The child is wrong."
Liu Zhu also knelt down beside her brother and whispered: "Zhu'er was wrong, too, shouldn't disturb my brother from practicing calligraphy."
Tao Zhan sighed and said to their brother and sister: "Get up and come to the room."
She walked back to the room, fiddled with the brazier, and made the charcoal burn vigorously. At this time, Liu Zhi and his sister walked into the room and stood with their hands down in front of their mother. Tao Zhan pulled Zhuer and hugged her in his arms. Then she said earnestly to Liu Zhiyu: "You usually have to write ten words in one morning, but today you only asked you to write four words for your mother. Do you know why?"
Liu Zhi said halfway through the show: "Mom understands the child and gives her time to play."
"It seems you know, but why don't you hurry up and finish your homework and then play, but you're half-hearted. You haven't even finished two words in a morning. If you don't even have this little self-control and can't resist the temptation, how can you inherit your father's career when you grow up?"
"The child knows his mistake"
Tao Zhan looked at the other for a long time and asked again: "Since you know your mistake, what are you going to do?"
"The child can finish ten words, a lot of them."
"Very good, you can do it yourself. You can go play or write. My mother won't punish you today, just do whatever you want."
After saying that, Tao Zhan stood up and took Liu Zhu's hand and smiled, "Zhu'er went to the front yard with the aunt, and Dad is back soon. Let's see if you put on lanterns."
"When will Dad be back?"
"It's either today or tomorrow."
Liu Zhu jumped up happily, and happily took the aunt's hand and walked towards the front yard. Liu Zhi looked at his mother and sister walking away. He sighed, sat down again, calmed his mind, and began to write seriously. This time he completely restrained playing with the snow.
Tao Zhan led Liu Zhu to the front yard and happened to meet Sun Shangxiang who was commanding his servant to put on lanterns. Sun Shangxiang picked up Liu Zhu and asked with a smile: "Zhu'er, why don't your brother come together?"
"My brother is not focused on doing his homework, and he is criticized by the aunt, and he is writing."
Sun Shangxiang laughed silently and said to Tao Zhan: "It's rare that it's so snowing in Chengdu. My elder sister will give him a day off and write all day long, so she will become an old man."
Tao Zhan shook his head, "I'll give him a chance. If he could concentrate and hurry up to complete his homework, he had already piled up a few snowmen, so I would be angry that he was not focused on doing things. He didn't even have this little willpower. What can he do when he grew up?"
"I can understand the elder sister's desire for Jackie Chan."
At this time, Tao Zhan remembered something again and asked quickly: "Is there any news about Cao Xian in Chang'an?"
Ten days ago, Cao Cao sent someone to Chengdu and took Cao Xian back to Yedu. Later, Tao Zhan heard that it was snowing heavily on Qishan Road and Hanzhong. The heavy snow blocked the road, which made her worry. She had been waiting for news from Chang'an.
Sun Shangxiang nodded, "Sima Military Advisor sent someone to report the news just now. They have arrived in Chang'an, so don't worry, sister."
Tao Zhan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Cao Xian arrived in Chang'an, she would not be worried. Sun Shangxiang smiled again and said, "Cao Xian is gone, Xiao Qiao is coming again. It's so busy for the eldest sister."
"Xiao Qiao has no big problem. Cao Xian left, and the courtyard where she lived was empty. Just clean up a little. I just worry about whether my husband can come back before the New Year. He hasn't been at home for the New Year for two years. This is not possible. If this continues, he will forget our family."
Tao Zhan sighed. Her husband has been at home for less time in the past two years and is always fighting in the north and north, which is worrying. Although he is a good king of Han and there are praises everywhere, his husband and father are not qualified. Although Tao Zhan can understand her husband's career, she can't help but complain about her for a long time.
