Chapter 401 Chengdu. Two or three things
It was already evening when I came out of Zhuge Liang's mansion. This morning I went to court to discuss the affairs of the young mansion. After I went to court, Zhuge Liang was invited to discuss the affairs of the Southern Central. This discussion lasted for one day. Zhuge Liang was a polite official. Although he was now in a high position and powerful position, his life was very frugal. Not only did he eat two meals a day, but he basically didn't see any meat. This was incompatible with Liu Yi, who advocated a refined life.
The streets were a little deserted. When Liu Yi brought Chen Ergou out, his intimate figure made Liu Yi slightly stunned.
"Sister-in-law? Why are you here?" When you saw Deng again, it was hard to tell what Liu Yi felt. Deng looked much older than when he was in Jingzhou before, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes became obvious.
"Mr. Kongming has always been frugal. I think the food in Mr. Kongming's house is probably not the taste of the family leader, so he made chicken soup to deliver it." Deng smiled slightly, did not show too much resentment, and naturally came to Liu Yi.
"Sister-in-law, why bother?" Liu Yi took the chicken soup and sighed. In addition to Lu Lingqi, he naturally had an affection for other women, but he was only moved. The momentary hormonal impulse was just that, and he would not be too nostalgic. But only Deng, among the women Liu Yi had seen, was not the most beautiful, but the one who knew the warmth and cold. Even Lu Lingqi could not compare with this, but it was the most unlikely one. Unless both of them could put aside everything, it was obviously impossible.
There are always too many helplessness in the world, and some regrets will never be compensated.
She didn't get in the car, and the two of them walked slowly on the streets of Chengdu. Deng was half a seat slower than Liu Yi. She didn't want to fight for anything, but now it's good.
"I heard from him that Shi Zai's marriage was decided. I wonder if my sister-in-law can choose a good date?" Liu Yi asked, and it was a bit embarrassing to leave like this.
"Well, this fall, Ai'er will stay in Chengdu. I will not go to Hanzhong with the king." Deng smiled and said, "Has he told the head of the family?"
"Sister-in-law, Ai'er has now become an official and has a bright future. You can't be so accomplimented." Liu Yi said with a wry smile.
"I'm used to it, and I can't change it for the time being, and I don't want to change it anymore. If it weren't for the head of the family, how could Ai'er have today?" Deng shook his head and said with a smile.
"Aier told me when she was in Nanyang that I promised him to build a wedding house for him." Liu Yi changed the topic. Since he knew that there would be no result, he did not want to extend these topics.
"How dare you bother the head of the family?" Deng sighed. She was a smart woman. How could she not hear the distance that Liu Yi faintly revealed. Even though she knew that the other party was doing this for his own good and the best ending, she still felt a little sad.
"What's the trouble?" Liu Yi looked at the empty streets around him and frowned, "How come it is? They are all so cold? They are far less prosperous than Jingzhou?"
"Last year, Shuzhong was severely drought, and the wars continued in the past two years. According to Ai'er, a lot of food in Shuzhong was transported to Nanyang to provide relief to the victims and rebuild Nanyang. The king issued a ban on alcohol." Deng explained.
"Good thing." Liu Yi nodded: "Food shortage will indeed cause depression in all industries. After all, everyone can't even eat enough, but it's not so cold, right?"
Cheng. Before Liu Bei moved to rule, he was always a capital in Shu. Even the capital was so cold that other places can be imagined.
"It's not all because of this. It's just that the king's ban on alcohol was too strict. If he had a wine vessel in his house, he would be arrested, which made the people panic." Deng shook his head: "It's a bit over."
"This ruins the wine vessel. Wouldn't it be rebuilt next year?" Liu Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "This matter is indeed a bit over."
The night was dark, and it seemed that someone was coming towards me. Under the dim night, I couldn't see who the other party was, but the situation was quite large. It should be the powerful and powerful in Shu. Liu Yi wanted to make a move, but he heard someone talking on the other side, and the voice was a little loud. They could hear it clearly. Some familiar voices came from the dim night from afar: "Look, Mr. Wang, these two people want to do something. You should quickly arrest them!"
"Hmm?" Liu Yi's face suddenly turned dark, and Deng's face was even more red, as if he was about to drip blood.
Liu Yi, who was originally about to stagger, stopped and strode towards the group of people coming towards him. He wanted to see who was joking about this. One of them thought it was Liu Bei, and the other one was unknown, but Liu Yi didn't care.
"This..." Liu Bei frowned and looked at Jian Yong: "How does Xianhe know?"
"These two people have tools for crime, so they should be caught." Jian Yong said with a smile.
But these days, it was because of Liu Bei's ban on alcohol. Everyone was panicked, and all officials also realized that something was wrong, but they didn't know how to persuade him. Today, Liu Bei took Jian Yong out to visit, and Jian Yong took the opportunity to think of such a way.
Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, but pointed at Jian Yong and laughed: "Xianhe just said something, why should he do this?"
Jian Yong smiled but said nothing.
"Stop!" The guards in front saw Liu Yi walking straight towards this side, and quickly blocked him, but then recognized Liu Yi: "Mr. Ting?"
These guards were all elite soldiers who followed Liu Bei and had been formed since Jingzhou, so they naturally recognized Liu Yi.
"Liu Yi, see the king!" Liu Yi bowed to Liu Bei's direction.
"Boyuan? Come quickly!" Liu Bei was also surprised. Unexpectedly, Jian Yong pointed it out with a casual finger. Then he glanced at Jian Yong and said with some amusement, "This disaster comes from the mouth."
Jian Yong smiled bitterly when he heard this.
Liu Yi stepped forward, his squinting eyes suddenly opened when he saw Jian Yong. It should be very sharp, at least with some courage, which made Jian Yong unconsciously avoid his sight.
"Do you first explain to Yi how Yi committed this crime of rape?" Liu Yi looked at Jian Yong and said with a smile.
"This..." Jian Yong did not expect it would be the result and smiled bitterly: "Bo Yuan, Yong did not have such intentions. I hope Bo Yuan will forgive him for any offense."
Liu Bei pulled Liu Yi and said the whole story with a smile.
Liu Yi was speechless when he heard this. Isn’t this a coincidence?
"By the way, why is Bo Yuan still here late at night?" Jian Yong quickly changed the topic.
"I have been discussing the matter between Nanzhong with Kong Ming for a long time." Liu Yi sighed. I am afraid that this peaceful life will not last long.
At this time, Deng also came close to him and greeted Liu Bei and Jian Yong.
Deng Ai is an outstanding figure among the young generation under Liu Bei. Liu Bei also likes Deng Ai quite a bit and is naturally familiar with Deng's family. When he saw Deng's family, he was a little stunned and then looked at Liu Yi. The smile on his face became a little strange in Liu Yi's eyes.
Jian Yong probably had the same idea as Liu Bei, and looked at Liu Yi with something unknown.
"Your Majesty!" Liu Yi sighed. It was indeed easy to cause misunderstandings when he was wandering with a woman on the street in the middle of the night. He could only bow to Liu Bei and said, "It would be inconvenient for sister-in-law to go home alone in the evening. Yi sent her to her home first."
"Bo Yuan will go." Liu Bei waved his hand and smiled.
In this year, due to the war, a large number of men died in battle, which also imbalanced the ratio of men and women. Whether in Cao Wei, Jing Shu or Jiangdong, they were more supportive of marrying widows. Although there was a problem with their identity, no one would really care about the love between men and women.
"Goodbye!" Liu Yi bowed helplessly to the two inappropriate old men and took Deng's straight away.
"Your Majesty, Bo Yuan seems to have never taken a concubine yet." After watching Liu Yi leave, Jian Yong couldn't help but put the topic on Liu Yi.
"Inappropriate." Liu Bei shook his head. If it comes to wisdom, he was not as good as Zhuge Liang and others. But if it comes to emotional intelligence, Liu Bei was definitely one of the top ones. His previous eyes were just a joke. With his understanding of Liu Yi, he could not give Deng a clear identity. He would not have done anything to politely with Deng. Deng was the mother of Deng Ai after all, and he was considered from a famous family. Unless Liu Yi divorced his wife, the two would not have any results.
"Don't say more about this, so as not to attract rumors to Bo Yuan." Liu Bei glanced at the direction where Liu Yi left, shook his head and smiled.
In this year, when Liu Yi's status is at the same time, there are not many people who will be confused about women's problems, but for this reason, people like Liu Yi are even more reassuring.
"Yong naturally knew." Jian Yong nodded and smiled.
On the other side, Liu Yi sent Deng to Deng's mansion all the way. Deng looked at Liu Yi and said with a smile: "It's better to go to the mansion to talk? Ai'er will be happy to see the head of the family."
"No, the wife should be anxious for the day she came out. She also missed her sister-in-law quite a bit. I will stay in Chengdu for some time, so I can let her wife come and be company with her." Liu Yi smiled.
"It's true that I haven't seen my wife for a while." Deng nodded and sighed, "When I leave, may Huan'er take care of the housework?"
"It was a mess at first, but it got better later." Liu Yi was a little funny when he thought of Xiao Huan's busyness every day.
"I failed to help the bishop with her." Deng also smiled, she could probably think of that scene.
"It's getting late, say goodbye." Liu Yi bowed to Deng and said goodbye with a smile.
"Hand slowly!" Deng looked at Liu Yi getting into the car. It was not until the car left that he turned back to the mansion in a lost state.
"Sir, Mrs. Deng..." Chen Ergou drove the car and couldn't help but lean in to discuss Deng's affairs with Liu Yi.
"Just drive, where do you think so many words? You will call Mrs. Deng in the future!" Liu Yi glared at him, feeling that today was a little unhappy.
"Here!" Chen Ergou had no choice but to retreat and continue driving.
The carriage was moving forward slowly on the spacious bluestone road. Liu Yi was a little confused when he looked at the street scene outside the window. It was not until the carriage returned to the mansion arranged by Liu Bei for him that Liu Yi came back to his senses. Looking at Lu Lingqi who was greeting the door, the smile on her face became a little more.
