Chapter 13: Unpredictable Disaster

,,,,,,,,,,,,

In the first year of Chuping, Liu Biao went to Jingxiang alone. There were Yuan Shu and Sun Jian peeping, and there were local tyrants and tyrants inside, which made Liu Biao difficult.

It was precisely because of the strong support of the powerful gentry in Jingxiang, including the Cai family in Xiangyang, the Kuai family in Nanjun, the Huang family in Jiangxia, the Pang family in Xiangyang and other local gentry that Liu Biao was able to overcome the difficulties, wipe out Jingxiang, and become a prince.

Out of gratitude and to settle down in Jingxiang, Liu Biao married the Cai's legitimate daughter as his second wife a few years after his wife Chen's death. This is the famous Mrs. Cai in the Romance of the Kingdom.

Mrs. Cai is only twenty-six or seven years old this year, while Liu Biao is nearly fifty years old, and the two sides are more than twenty years apart. This age difference makes Liu Biao love his new wife very much and almost obedient. Therefore, the Cai family gradually became the number one wealthy family in Jingxiang, with a high position and a powerful position.

Although Liu Biao favors his new wife thousands of times, Mrs. Cai still has one of the most regrettable things, that is, she has been unable to get pregnant for a long time.

But this summer, Mrs. Cai finally became pregnant, which made her ecstatic and carefully maintained her, fearing that the wind would blow when she opened the window, and fearing that she would fall when she went out.

Perhaps it was God's will, just a few days ago, Mrs. Cai accidentally gave birth and was unable to save the fetus in the end.

This heavy blow made Mrs. Cai very sad, and until today, her mood recovered slightly.

In a gorgeously decorated room filled with faint incense, Mrs. Cai sat on a soft blanket. It was late autumn and the weather was already a little chilly. She was wearing a precious fox white fur and a wide coat, wrapping her slightly thin body tightly.

Her hair was combed into a horse bun, and she was densely inserted with six two-inch-long jade hairpins, either green and crystal clear, white jade flawless, or red as fire.

Mrs. Cai is petite, pretty, her eyes are like lacquer, her lips are like vermilion, and her skin is as delicate as fat, but if you look closely, there are still some flaws in her appearance.

Her lips were slightly thin, her cheekbones were tall, and she looked a little mean. Her small nose and mouth also made her not grand enough and her skin lacked luster. But none of these matters. What is important is that she is the daughter of the Cai family, representing the marriage between Cai and Liu Biao.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, when marriage was like politics, the role played by the wife was often the representative of a family, and her status was particularly important among the nobles of famous families.

At this time, Mrs. Cai sat upright and listened to the witch girl cracking the accidental miscarriage for her. The witch and ghost art was popular in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and there were Jing people and ghosts in the Yangtze River Basin. When encountering strange things, the witch people would definitely ask them to explain in detail.

Mrs. Cai’s accidental miscarriage made her confused. She had neither fall nor collided nor took medicine randomly, so why did she have miscarriage?

But Mrs. Cai also knew that her husband was most disgusted with these witchcrafts, so she could only take advantage of her husband's opportunity to leave Xiangyang to welcome Liu Bei and secretly call the witch to play the witch.

The one who gave her a witch was a witch in her fifties, named Qi Nu. She was famous in the Jingxiang area. Although she was over fifty years old, she had the ability to keep her face and looked only about ten, but there was always an indescribable weirdness in her eyes.

At this time, the girl Qi was singing and dancing in the room, and she was greeting the gods and impeaching ghosts. Several maids on both sides were holding lacquer plates. Seeing that her movements were funny and weird, she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so she forced herself to turn her head.

The girl Qi suddenly sat down cross-legged, her whole body trembled, her eyes closed, and suddenly shouted, "Yin and Yang are in conflict, and the same tribe is fighting."

After shouting, she was sweating all over and her face was pale. Even the maids next to her covered their mouths in horror. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and asked exhaustedly: "The society god just now possessed me, and my wife remembered what she said."

"I remember that yin and yang are in conflict, and the same tribe is in conflict."

Mrs. Cai looked at Qi Nu with sharp eyes, "What does this mean?"

"It's true that's not what I expected."

The girl of Qi sighed and kowtowed on the ground, "But I dare not say it."

"Say" Mrs. Cai stared at her with anger on her face.

Qi Nv Zhan was trembling, "Madam Husband let me die before I dare to say it."

"As long as you don't make up, I won't blame you." Mrs. Cai's tone was a little relieved.

The girl Qi had no choice but to hesitate and said: "When my wife was pregnant, I said that the baby in her womb is the most yin fate, and the most taboo thing about the people with yang fate. Do you still remember it?"

Mrs. Cai nodded. Of course she remembered it, so she took care of it carefully and no one saw it. Unexpectedly, her child was still not saved. She was called by the girl Qi. Is it really because of the mutual restraint of yin and yang?

"Speak on"

Qi Nv Zhan said tremblingly: "I just started a witch and asked the words of the God of the Society. It was the conflict between yin and yang that caused the child in the wife to be unable to be kept."

"What's the point of fighting with the same clan?"

"That is to say, there must be people with a strong Yang life in your mansion. I don't know if there are new people in your mansion recently. I'm talking about it... I am the nephew of the governor of the state."

"What does this have to do with the nephew of the state's palace ladies?" Mrs. Cai was a little unhappy. She was unwilling to involve her family.

Having said this, the girl Qi had to bite her teeth and continue, "Madam, the words of the God of Society are said to be the same as the same clan, which means that the nephew of the same clan is defeated. This must be related to the nephew of the governor of the state, but I have all passed the five nephews of the governor of the state and have nothing to do with them. They should be newcomers, and I dare not speak nonsense."

"Newcomer Newcomer"

Mrs. Cai talked to herself, and her face suddenly changed drastically, and she suddenly remembered something. Her husband told her the day before yesterday that her nephew Liu Jing came from her hometown. Could it be that he

She immediately turned her head and ordered the maid: "Get that Liu Jing's Yuan Jian"

Soon, the maid took a Yuan Jian from the box, which contained Liu Jing's birth date and horoscope. The husband gave her yesterday and asked her to prepare to propose marriage to the Cai family.

"Look at the eight characters on the Yuan Jian, but it will defeat my child's yang life." She handed Yuan Jian to Qi Nu.

A witch-performing person must be able to read the numerology. Qi Nu took Yuan Jian and calculated carefully for a moment. She suddenly widened her eyes in horror and said in a trembling voice: "Madam... is this person."

....................................................................

Qi Nu walked down from Mrs. Cai's bedroom with two golden leaves in her arms. A crisp bang suddenly came from her head, which scared her heart and trembled.

"I have to leave Xiangyang"

She murmured to herself and accelerated her pace to walk outside the mansion. Not long after she left, Liu Biao walked into the yard.

Liu Biao had just welcomed Liu Bei from the Bishu River. Liu Bei temporarily lived in Fancheng and entered Xiangyang early tomorrow morning. Liu Biao was worried about his wife's health and rushed back to the house to visit his wife.

At this time, Liu Biao also heard a loud noise from the second floor. He was a little surprised, what happened?

He quickly walked up the second floor and entered his wife's side room. He saw several maids cleaning up the fragments on the ground. His wife smashed a white jade ear cup, and the dressing table was turned over, and all kinds of powder fell all over the floor.

"A Chan, what happened?"

Liu Biao saw his wife lying on the couch with tears on her face. Several maids were comforting her. He was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down, reached out to hug his wife, "Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

"master"

Mrs. Cai cried in her husband's arms, "My child... died so unjustly."

.........

The arrival of the world-famous Huangshu Liu caused a sensation in Xiangyang City, attracting the entire city to an empty street, gathered on both sides of Jianghan Street, singing and dancing, cheering and welcoming Liu Bei to the next street.

At the same time when Liu Bei was warmly welcomed into the city, Liu Jing silently entered the Mu's house in the state.

Liu Biao was the lord of Jingzhou, and his residence was naturally grand and magnificent, comparable to his identity. Liu Biao's residence consists of a main residence and an attached residence, which is the residence of the stables and the people.

The main house is divided into two courtyards, both surrounded by corridors. Although the structure is relatively simple, there are many pavilions and towers, covering an area of ​​several acres. A small river flows through the mansion, and there is also a garden in the backyard. It is September, which is the season of autumn. The house has a lot of fruits and fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.

"A Jing, this is the East Courtyard, which is where Liu's brother lives. The courtyard we went to was a guest house. My father means that you will also live in the East Courtyard in the future."

The person who led Liu Jing to visit the house was Liu Biao Chang Liu Qi. Liu Biao had a daughter, Chang Qi, Ci Cong and Xiu. Except for Liu Xiu who was a concubine, the other two daughters were born to his ex-wife Chen.

Liu Qi is about twenty years old. He is tall but very thin. He looks like a bamboo pole. He likes martial arts and is a teacher. He is a famous scholar Pang Degong of Xiangyang. He has a quiet personality, gentle and generous personality, and is also very caring for his new cousin.

Liu Qi became a disciple of Mr. Pang De and has been studying at Lumen Academy for half a month. Today, he heard that the world-famous Uncle Liu, who was here, rushed back to the mansion and happened to meet Liu Jing, so his father handed Liu Jing to him.

Seeing that Liu Jing had no luggage, he only brought a leather bag, and didn't even have to change clothes. He wore a coarse gauze dress, and looked like a man in the grass, without the style of Liu's brother at all.

Liu Qi doesn't like Liu Jing's outfit, but he doesn't think it's Liu Jing's problem. It's a blessing to be able to escape when encountering chaos.

At this time, Liu Qi's heart was filled with sympathy for his cousin.

"I have a few good robes on my side, all of which are made of new clothes. You and I have the same figure. If you don't dislike me, you can wear them first."

"Thank you, little brother"

Liu Jing smiled and patted Liu Qi on the shoulder. Liu Qi was stunned. Can you still be with your friends?

Liu Jing's hand also stopped on Liu Qi's shoulder, and a hint of embarrassing smile appeared on his face.

Liu Jing did not adapt to the role change very quickly. Sometimes, he would intentionally or unintentionally show some of the habits of young hunters.

These habits developed in the mountains will be revealed accidentally by chance. Liu Jing reminds himself from time to time to be careful, pay attention to his identity, and never slap Liu Qi on the scalp.

Now he patted Liu Qi's shoulder casually, which is common among the common people in the mountains and fields, but scholars are incredible, with proper manners and polite movements. This is the minimum etiquette.

Fortunately, Liu Qi just smiled and didn't take this little thing to heart, but he felt that Liu Jing should study and practice etiquette. As his brother, he had no choice.

"This is the hospital where you live."

The two brothers walked to a small courtyard. Liu Qi pushed open the door. An old servant came forward and knelt down to salute, "I pay homage to the elder."

"Get up"
