Four hundred and fortieth chapters self-recommendation
Liu Xiu looked around and saw four young women in gorgeous clothes walking out of the pavilion in the garden. Three women walked in front, and one woman walked behind with her head slightly lowered.
Seeing the four of them, Liu Yang immediately smiled at Liu Xiu. When the four girls came closer, he introduced them to Liu Xiu one by one: "This is my eldest daughter, Keyan, and this is my second daughter, Kexin.
This is my king’s little daughter Keqing.”
After introducing his three daughters, Liu Yang pulled out the girl standing behind them, smiled at Liu Xiu and said, "This is my niece, Guo Shi Sheng Tong."
Guo Shengtong is the daughter of Liu Yang's sister. Because her father passed away early, she has been fostered in Liu Yang's palace.
Every time Liu Yang introduced someone, Liu Xiu would give him a gift, and Liu Keyan, Liu Kexin, Liu Keqing and Guo Shengtong also returned the gift.
Under Liu Yang's greeting, Liu Xiu and others walked into the pavilion together.
There are four charcoal pots placed in the pavilion. Sitting in them, you don't feel cold at all. On the stone table in the center of the pavilion, there are teapots, teacups and several plates of snacks and dried fruits.
"Da Sima!" Liu Keyan looked at Liu Xiu with a smile.
Liu Xiu bowed and replied: "Miss Keyan."
Liu Keyan looked at Liu Xiu and secretly said what a pity! It is said that Liu Xiu is young and promising, and he has a lot of talent. Today I saw it, and it is true. It is a pity that his background is too low, and he is not favored in Chang'an, and he is wanted in Handan.
.
She said with a smile: "Iron chopsticks are usually born in Shu and are not common in Hebei. My father also sent people to Shu on a special trip and spent several months transplanting these iron chopsticks back to Zhending. How did Da Sima know them?
This flower?"
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Back then, I went to Shu with my eldest brother."
"Oh, so that's it." Liu Keyan was quite surprised.
Liu Keqing suddenly answered: "Liu had an evil plan and wanted to raise an army to rebel. Later, he was discovered by the emperor and executed by the emperor. The emperor did not hold grudge against Da Sima because of Liu's relationship. He is really broad-minded." xdw8
Hearing this, the expressions of Liu Yang, Liu Keyan, Liu Kexin and Guo Shengtong all changed. This is really a pot that cannot be opened. Liu Keqing said this in front of Liu Xiu, which was tantamount to hurting Liu Xiu's wound.
Sprinkle salt on top.
The expression on Liu Xiu's face did not change. He still had a faint smile and said softly: "The emperor has a heart for the world, so naturally he is incomparable to others."
Liu Yang glared at his little daughter fiercely, then smiled apologetically at Liu Xiu and said, "The dog girl is young and ignorant, and she made a mistake. I hope the great Sima will not blame her."
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "King Zhending is so polite."
Liu Keqing curled her lips and muttered in a low voice: "What I said is also true!"
Of Liu Yang's three daughters, Liu Keqing is the most beautiful. Because she is the youngest, she is also the most favored and the most coquettish.
It's just that if the coquettishness is too much, it can easily turn into viciousness. At this time, even Long Yuan was filled with disgust when he looked at Liu Keqing's pretty little face.
Liu Xiu did not show any dissatisfaction or anger because of Liu Keqing's words, which made Liu Yang, Liu Keyan, and Liu Kexin have a great impression of him.
Liu Keyan said enthusiastically: "I heard that iron chopsticks have many flower species. I wonder if Da Sima has seen other flower species in Shu?"
"Growing in the snow, pink iron chopsticks are more beautiful." Liu Xiu said with a slight sigh.
Liu Keyan said in surprise: "And there are pink iron chopsticks?"
Liu Xiu nodded. Liu Keqing turned to look at Liu Yang. The latter waved his hands helplessly and said: "It's a long way from Shu to Zhending. The last time we transplanted these flowers back, we spent thousands of gold. My father can't let you do whatever you want in the future."
Already."
Liu Yang does love his daughter very much.
It was really winter when all the flowers withered, and Liu Keyan was particularly fond of flowers and plants. Liu Yang asked around and learned that iron chopsticks were cold-resistant and could bloom in winter, so he sent people to transplant these iron chopsticks back from Shu, which cost a lot of money and manpower.
Seeing that the eldest sister and Liu Xiu were chatting happily, Liu Keqing's face turned cold, and then she said cheerfully: "Da Sima, Keqing recently learned a poem. I wonder if I can ask Da Sima to appreciate it?"
Liu Xiu said: "Scholars are few and far between, and their appreciation is unworthy."
Liu Keqing ignored Liu Xiu's politeness and slowly recited a poem.
"The Rat has skin, but humans have no manners. If humans have no manners, what's the point of not dying? The Rat has skin and teeth, but humans have no teeth. If humans have no teeth, what's the point of not dying? The Rat has a body, but humans have no manners.
! If a person is rude, will he die?"
After she finished reciting the poem, Liu Yang could hardly sit still on the stone bench and glared at Liu Keqing with eyes that were about to burst into flames.
Next to them, Liu Keyan and Liu Kexin also looked embarrassed and unnatural. Guo Shengtong, on the other hand, widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Liu Keqing in disbelief.
The poem Liu Keqing just recited is called "Looking at the Rat". The poem "Looking at the Rat" is a sarcasm to the core of people. Comparing the ugliest animal, the rat, to a person probably means that if a person doesn't have
If your self-esteem is inferior to that of a mouse, why are you still alive?
The reflection of this poem is that according to the genealogical hierarchy, Liu Xiu is a generation higher than Liu Yang, but in order to follow the trend and curry favor with Zhen Ding, he did not hesitate to lower himself to become Liu Yang's son-in-law. He was shameless and threw away all his dignity as a human being.
Arrived beyond the clouds.
In fact, according to the prior agreement, it was Liu Keyan who found an opportunity to use this poem to ridicule Liu Xiu. However, seeing Liu Xiu and his eldest sister chatting so enthusiastically, Liu Keqing couldn't get angry, so he recited the poem first.
Bang! Liu Yang slammed the table, stood up suddenly, pointed to the backyard, and shouted sternly: "Get out! Get out of here!"
Liu Yang knew that his daughter was unruly, but she never thought she would be so stupid as to use the poem "The Rat" to satirize Liu Xiu. In fact, she was not only satirizing Liu Xiu at this time, she was also satirizing Liu Yang.
Went in.
This was the first time that Liu Keqing had seen her father lose such a temper to her. Her eyes quickly became mist, and after a while, she burst into tears.
Liu Keyan and Liu Kexin hurriedly hugged Liu Keqing and said in a trembling voice: "Father, my little sister didn't do it on purpose..."
"she……"
Before Liu Yang could speak, Liu Xiu also stood up, waved his hand to Liu Yang, and said, "The king is really happy and angry! But Miss Qing is straightforward and I believe she has no ill intentions."
Liu Yang looked at Liu Xiu with a look of embarrassment and embarrassment on his face. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "I have no way to teach my daughter. I am the one who has no way to teach my daughter!"
Instead of being angry with Liu Keqing, Liu Xiu comforted Liu Yang. This magnanimity was truly impressive.
After persuading Liu Yang to sit down, Liu Xiu looked at Liu Keqing who was crying and said with a smile: "Just now, Miss Keqing asked me to appreciate this poem, so I'll just say a few words."
After a pause, he lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said: "The millet is separated, the seedlings of the millet are walking slowly and slowly, and the center is shaking. Those who know me say that I am worried; those who don't know me say that what do I want?
.Yuyou Cangtian, who is this?”
Those who can understand me, Liu Xiu, will naturally understand my Liu Xiu's state of mind. Those who cannot understand me, Liu Xiu, have nothing to do with me, Liu Xiu? God, who are these people?
Liu Keqing used "Xiang Mouse" in "Guofeng" to ridicule him, and he responded with "Millet" in "Preface to Poems".
Competing on talent and learning, Liu Xiu was a Taixue student. During his time at Taixue, he often played these word games with his classmates and friends. You would make fun of me, and I would say something back to you. It was a great fight.
Of Liu Yang's three daughters, even the most talented Liu Keyan would have no chance of defeating Liu Xiu in this regard.
If someone had ridiculed Liu Xiu like this before, he might have been furious, but now, Liu Xiu only has one feeling, that of childishness.
Hearing Liu Xiu respond to him with "Millet", Liu Keqing stopped crying, blinked his eyes, and was speechless, not knowing how to respond.
She looked at the eldest sister for help, and at this time, Liu Keyan was looking at Liu Xiu intently, with a look of obsession on his face unconsciously.
Seeing this, Liu Keqing was both ashamed and furious. He stamped his feet fiercely, turned around and ran towards his yard.
Liu Keyan and Liu Kexin came to their senses, and first exclaimed: "Little sister!" Then the two girls looked at Liu Yang together and said: "Father!"
"You all get the hell back!" Liu Yang doesn't like anyone now.
As a father, can he not know how much talent his young daughter has?
It is impossible for Keqing to think of using "The Rat" to ridicule Liu Xiu. To be precise, with her playful personality, it is impossible for her to recite the poem "The Rat".
This must have been secretly instigated by Keyan and Kexin and given to Keqing.
None of my three daughters can make me worry-free!
Liu Keyan and Liu Kexin didn't want to leave, but seeing their father getting so angry, no matter how thick-skinned they were, they were embarrassed to stay in the pavilion any longer.
The two looked at each other, saluted Liu Xiufu with red faces, turned around and left quickly.
Seeing all three daughters leaving, Liu Yang couldn't help but sigh up to the sky and smiled bitterly at Liu Xiu: "They are all spoiled by me!"
Liu Xiu disagreed with this.
The reason why Liu Yang wants to get married is mainly because he doesn't trust himself. Now that he has come to Zhending in person, he has already expressed his feelings to him. Whether the two parties want to get married or not is not that important.
He said with a smile: "The daughter of King Zhen Ding, her appearance, talent and learning are all good enough to match any young talent in the world. Marrying Yu Xiu is indeed an injustice to your daughter."
Liu Yang couldn't help but hold his forehead. He had been in the palace since he was born. After his father passed away, he inherited the throne and lived to this day. He had never seen what kind of person he was. Could he not be able to tell whether he was talented or talentless?
Liu Xiu had a great reputation and was deeply loved by people all over the world. He also had many capable men and powerful generals under his command.
With no foundation in Hebei, Liu Xiu was completely empty-handed. He successively won the support of Zhongshan, Shanggu, and Yuyang counties. Now even Xindu County has submitted to him.
With Liu Xiu's strength and prestige, as long as he defeated Wang Lang in Hebei, he could replace him. For such a man, his three daughters could not even look down on him. Liu Yang found it ridiculous even thinking about it.
Just when Liu Yang was filled with emotion, Guo Shengtong, who had been sitting quietly aside, suddenly asked: "What does Grand Sima think of Shengtong?"
As soon as she said this, both Liu Xiu and Liu Yang were stunned. Before Liu Xiu could react, Liu Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, how could he forget about Shengtong, his niece?!
Shengtong has lived in his own palace since he was a child, and is no different from his own daughter. If Shengtong can marry Liu Xiu, the effect will be exactly the same as marrying his own daughter.
Thinking of this, Liu Yang's face immediately glowed, and he said to Liu Xiu with a smile on his face: "Have you ever heard of Mr. Guo Changguo, Grand Sima?"
