It is said that Liu Tong got Liu Qian's letter and said: "What a plan!" Thinking that this matter was important, he handed over the affairs of Japan to his generals and returned to the State of Lu. Mrs. Liu led the Yingying Yanyan family in the house.
They greeted each other, holding Ma's hand and standing in front of her. When Liu Tong saw her, he praised her for her virtue and laughed loudly. His wife on his left hand, Ji on his right hand, walked into the house.
After enjoying the blessings of the whole family, Liu Tong discussed with his wife about recording the second girl in her name. Mrs. Liu said: "In general, the third girl is more filial than the second girl. If you want to remember a legitimate daughter,
, I would rather remember the third girl."
Liu Tong said: "Three girls are too young." Fang mentioned that he wanted to marry his daughter to King Lu.
Mrs. Liu pretended to be surprised and praised: "What a plan, sir! In this way, King Lu will be our son-in-law."
Liu Tong smiled and said: "It was the idea of the next staff member.
.If you like Third Girl, you can change her."
Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "The third girl is too young. It will take at least three or four years until she can have a baby. The second girl is fine. The second girl is filial at heart, but she is just stupid."
Liu Tong stroked his beard with satisfaction and said, "If I have such a good wife, what else can I ask for?"
Liu Tong was a rough man and was in a hurry, so he sent someone to draft a confession for Princess Lu the next day. Princess Lu cried to death as if the sky had collapsed. Although King Lu didn't like the current princess very much, he asked her to
He became more and more reluctant to marry Liu Dong's daughter. However, the Queen Mother Qingming told King Lu: "It is obvious that Liu Tong wants to have a serious position as the ruler of Lu. That's fine. Although his daughter is his daughter now, she will be married to him."
Your wife will give birth to a son in the future. How can she remember who I am? I wish she would be stronger and not be in trouble like this." King Lu listened to his mother's words and agreed. Then he issued an edict to the people of Lu State, first
The princess was willing to take second place, and Liu Tong's second daughter was about to marry King Lu as his princess. From then on, King Lu called Liu Tong "father-in-law", and Liu Tong called King Lu "son-in-law", and the two of them lived happily together. At this point, Liu Tong became more and more valued.
Liu Qian.
Let’s talk about Ma family. During these days when Liu Tong was away, Zhao Tu often had private meetings with her. A while ago, Zhao Tu got the news about Jia Cong’s affair. Although there was no trace of it, he felt more pity for Ma family. Ma family knew clearly. Since ancient times, Chang’e was young.
After all, Liu Tong is a reckless man, and he is old enough to be her father. Therefore, although she still misses King Chen in her heart, she is more willing to be with Zhao Tu at the moment. However, the two of them are having an affair after all, and Zhao Tu is deeply involved.
It's a pity.
Although every meeting was extremely confidential, Mrs. Liu still noticed it. In the past, Mrs. Liu trusted her and never guarded against her. As time went by, Ma became more or less relaxed. Because Liu Qian foiled Ma's plan, Mrs. Liu
He suddenly felt that this woman was no different from a tiger or a wolf, so he immediately kept a close eye on her. It had only been three days since Mrs. Liu explained this woman's appearance to her son. Major General Liu Shu encountered the beauty by chance, and she looked back with a smile. Liu Shu's three souls and seven souls immediately passed away.
Most of the time, people were busy asking people to find out - it turned out to be his father's concubine Ma Shi! Liu Shu was awakened from his spring dream as if a thunderbolt exploded above his head, and hurriedly ran to tell his mother. Mrs. Liu paid more and more attention to Ma Shi.
Finally, one day, Mrs. Ma borrowed the money back to her parents' house to have a private meeting with Zhao Tu, and Mrs. Liu's people saw the traces. Mrs. Liu was shocked: "How could it be him!" She immediately stumbled, "It's incredible! If he is so cheap.
My son is in danger because of the good relationship between people." He hurriedly called Liu Shu to come and discuss it.
Liu Shu thought to himself: "It's not good. This Zhao Tu is a sentimental person. He was originally an aide to Gao Li in Ping'an Prefecture. Because he fell in love with Oriole, he betrayed his master and followed Oriole to Lu. Ma's appearance was ten times stronger than Oriole's.
He then threw Oriole away. I'm afraid it would be easy for Ma to coax him."
Mrs. Liu said: "Let's find someone with better looks than Ma's?"
Liu Shu smiled bitterly and said: "Ma's family is already one in a thousand, where can I find someone better than her? Even if there is one, it won't be the turn of someone named Zhao. I won't let my father take it away first." He thought again.
After half a day, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there is nothing we can do to deal with it. Unless I show it to my father, Mr. Zhao will have no chance of survival. My father still needs him now."
Mrs. Liu said: "I think Mr. Liu is better than him."
Liu Shu shook his head and said: "There are not many people under my father's command. Mr. Zhao and Mr. Liu are classmates and good friends. Why don't I go to see Mr. Liu quietly and let him persuade Mr. Zhao."
Mrs. Liu said in her mouth: "That's fine. After all, she is the master's woman, so let's scare him for a while." But she had other plans in mind.
At noon the next day, Liu Shu changed into ordinary people's clothes, quietly went to the small shop where Liu Qian usually ate, and pretended to be a passing guest to share a table with him. Liu Qian naturally recognized him and asked him to sit down with a smile. Liu Shu then whispered
He, Zhao Tu, had an affair with the Ma family. Liu Qian was a little shocked, but he immediately said seriously: "I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding. To be honest, I also noticed that Brother Zhao secretly admired the Ma family, and it was just admiration. I have known Brother Zhao for many years.
, He will not get involved with the lord's woman. Brother Zhao is a serious reader of the Four Books and the Five Classics." Liu Shu was anxious and tried his best to speak, but he could only swear. But he was neither Ma nor Zhao Tu. Such things
What's the use of his swearing? After saying it for most of an hour, Liu Qian just didn't believe it.
Liu Shu was dejected and went back to tell his mother. Mrs. Liu said: "Mr. Liu is loyal and upright, and Mr. Zhao is his classmate and old friend. If there is no proof of this, he will not believe it." She told Liu Shu not to worry.
, she always has evidence to find out. "Black will never become white."
Not long after, the second young lady of the Liu family married King Lu, and the whole country celebrated. Three days later, the second young lady returned home, and Liu Tong hosted a banquet for his son-in-law in the mansion. You and I were happy, and everyone was happy.
Of course, Zhao Tu also drank with him. After drinking for eighty years, Zhao Tu was a little drunk, his whole body was hot, and he was inexplicably missing Ma. So he excused himself to take a nap and quietly went to the back. What a coincidence! There were two people along the way.
He didn't meet any of the little girls, and it was deserted. When he reached Ma's yard, Zhao Tu climbed up a big poplar tree, sat on the branch, and looked into the yard like an idiot.
About two-quarters of an hour later, someone came over from afar. It was Ma's two maids who helped her back. Seeing that Ma's cheeks were red, it was obvious that she had been drinking too much, and she was as soft as a willow branch, looking even softer than usual.
It looked so good. Zhao Tu was fascinated by it. Suddenly Ma entered the courtyard, and as soon as the courtyard door was closed, he couldn't see him. He hurriedly climbed up to a higher place. Seeing Ma staggering around and helping the girl into the house, he
Then he became crazy again. The sound of actors singing in the distance came from far away, and the warm spring wind blew through the treetops with a rustling sound. Zhao Tu's mind became confused. So where was he?
He also forgot about his identity, and also forgot about the two people named Bai from Lingnan. He jumped down from the tree, went around to the back of the yard, and climbed over the wall.
Liu Tong was also drunk outside. Someone came inside and told Mrs. Liu, who smiled and said, "The general saw his virtuous son-in-law today. He was very happy and drank two more cups." Then he ordered, "Mrs. Ma has just finished.
Let's go back to the courtyard and send the general to her." The people below agreed and went out to help Liu Tong go to Ma's courtyard. Everyone then continued to drink and watch the show.
Mrs. Liu's heart was in her throat. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement! She knew that the plan was not good. After a long time, someone finally came quietly to invite her. Mrs. Liu smiled and complained to all the ladies and asked.
What's the matter? The man said: "Something happened in Aunt Ma's yard. The general ordered someone to invite Madam over quietly." Madam Liu hurriedly led the people over.
When I got there, I saw that Zhao Tu was sleeping on the couch of the imperial concubine in front of Ma's hall. Liu Tong pointed at him and said with a wry smile: "This guy has eaten too much wine and is running around. He came to Xiangzhu and knocked on the door. I don't know who the girl from Xiangzhu is.
After asking for a long time, he fell down as soon as he opened the door and was so drunk that he couldn't move."
Mrs. Liu felt secretly resentful, but still asked with concern on her face: "Is Xiangzhu scared?"
"Can you not be scared?" Liu Tong said, "My little face turned pale with fright."
Mrs. Liu sighed: "Who can argue with a drunkard? I heard that Mr. Xiao Zhao is usually very cautious. He must be happy today and drank two more cups. Xiangzhu is a sensible person, and I know she won't care about it."
Liu Tong said: "It's okay, I'll just give her a few words of comfort later."
Mrs. Liu nodded: "I'll leave it to you, sir." Then she ordered someone to take two pieces of brocade from the storehouse to calm Aunt Ma's shock, and then said: "Now I just send him out quietly from behind and put him on the stone bench in the back garden.
Just say that he fell asleep on that stone bench. If he knew about this, he would definitely regret it."
Liu Tong nodded repeatedly: "Madam is the most appropriate."
Mrs. Liu ordered several wives to move Zhao Tu out, and ordered them to be careful not to wake up Mr. Zhao. She winked at Aunt Yu. Aunt Yu understood and followed her personally to direct the wives.
The son helps others.
Just as he helped Zhao Tu cross the threshold, he heard a few "ding-dong-gulu-lu" sounds, and something gold fell on the ground. Mrs. Liu saw a hairpin rolling on the ground at a glance, and said hurriedly: "It's a good thing to help Mr.! Who?"
Her hairpin fell off and she came back to me to get it, and I gave her an extra hairpin." All the daughters-in-law thanked her one after another.
Seeing them going out, a maid who was following came up and picked up the hairpin and handed it to Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu took a look and said: "Good stuff! Sir, the people in our house are so rich! Look at this hairpin!"
"
When Liu Tong looked at it, his eyebrows rose: "Whose is this?"
Mrs. Liu said: "I just asked which of them to drop it to pick it up later."
The maid on the side tutted: "So beautiful! Why haven't I seen anyone wearing it today?"
Another said: "I really didn't see anyone wearing it. If someone was wearing it, wouldn't everyone gather around her to look at it?"
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "If the hairpin is not on the head, is it still on the waist? If it's not theirs, it can't be Mr. Zhao's."
The maid smiled and said, "I bet Mr. Zhao bought it for his wife. My wife only cares about this hairpin. How can we slaves afford it?"
They were talking and laughing, but Ma's maid caught a glimpse of it and exclaimed: "This is the Eight Treasures Lucky Cloud Ruyi Hairpin that our aunt lost last month."
!I’ve been looking for it for a long time! It turns out someone stole it.”
A maid next to Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense! These aunts and grandmothers are all close to our wife. They never enter your yard, how can they steal your aunt's things! Our wife is generous, they want,
Just ask your wife for help." The two maids started to quarrel.
Liu Tong and Madam Liu looked at each other, both of them looking unhappy. After a while, Liu Tong stood up from the table and picked up his feet to walk in. Madam Liu grabbed him and said, "General, stop here!"
He yelled at everyone in the room to get out.
A group of girls looked at each other and saw ink dripping from the faces of the master and his wife. They were so frightened that they held their breath and gathered their clothes one by one and went out.
Mrs. Liu knelt down to Liu Dong with tears in her eyes and said: "General, although I am a lesbian and have never studied, I have heard a few plays. It is said in the play that Lu Bu fell in love with Dong Zhuo's concubine Diao Chan and they met at Fengyiting.
He was caught by Dong Zhuo. Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's counselor, advised him that Diao Chan was just a woman, and Lu Bu was a warrior among the generals. Why would he be angry with a warrior because of a woman? He advised him to give Diao Chan to Lü Bu. Dong Zhuo refused, so he turned against Lü Bu.
"
Liu Tong originally just suspected that the two of them had something personal, and was thinking about how to interrogate Ma inside and how to interrogate Zhao Tu later. However, Mrs. Liu's words had already confirmed the matter. He said fiercely: "You are
Say, am I that Dong Zhuo?"
Mrs. Liu shook her head and said: "I don't know about Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. I only know that Mr. Zhao is really important to the general. Without him, I'm afraid many things in Lu will be difficult to handle. The Ma family is just a woman. If the general
If you like it, you can find a few that are not inferior to her. Why don't you give Ma to Mr. Zhao? Mr. Zhao will definitely be grateful and extremely guilty, and he will definitely die for the general in the future."
Liu Tong sneered: "You steal my woman and expect him to be grateful and feel guilty?"
Mrs. Liu pleaded: "Talents are rare!"
Liu Tong snorted: "I don't lack just one or two people under my command!"
Mrs. Liu hurriedly added: "This matter... um, this matter..."
"Um?"
Mr. Liu stopped talking several times, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Shu'er heard about this a few days ago and told me. I didn't believe it and even scolded him. He went to tell Mr. Liu again and wanted to
Mr. Liu warned Mr. Zhao, but Mr. Liu didn't believe it and argued with him for a long time. Well, what I mean is that Shu'er did not refuse to report what he knew..."
Liu Tong's old face immediately turned red as if on fire: "You worked with my woman to steal someone, and my son even knew about it, but I didn't know about it!"
Mrs. Liu quickly said: "I don't believe it either!"
Liu Tong couldn't stay any longer, rolled up his sleeves and left. He ordered the door of the courtyard to be locked and no one was allowed to go in or out. He strode to the front, thought about it and didn't go to the banquet, so he turned around and went to the study outside. He ordered Liu Shu to be arrested.
Call over.
Suddenly Liu Shu rushed to the outer study room and looked up to see that the floor was full of porcelain fragments. His face was as black as diamond and he was so frightened that he did not dare to say a word. Liu Tong stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands and asked without looking back: "Someone tell me
Is your Ma family having an affair with Zhao Tu?"
Liu Shu couldn't help shouting: "Father, you know! I have a relative who is a soldier who lives next door to Ma's house. I saw Zhao Tu sneaking in in the middle of the night after Ma's family returned to her parents' house several times! That man was doing good things, and he got very embarrassed several times.
While I was guarding the yard, I saw that Zhao Tu sneaking out at the fifth hour of the night. He was very energetic! I told my mother, but she didn’t believe me! She said that Ma’s family is very good.” After a while, he muttered, “You
She was clearly fascinated by both of them."
Liu Tong didn't move at all, but asked again after half a day: "Where is Liu Qian?"
Liu Shu curled his lips and said, "He doesn't believe it either. I know that Zhao Tu is a very talented person and has a photographic memory. Because I thought he was an important person to my father, I went to bother Liu Qian to warn him. Who would have thought that Liu Qian would
Qian is a bookworm! He only said that Zhao Tu has read the books of saints and is full of knowledge, and he is determined not to do such sloppy things. Someone must be jealous of his father's favor and fabricate gossip to frame him."
After another long silence, Liu Tong nodded: "I understand." (..)
