Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

While Liu Yu and Wang Yun were talking, Diao Chan was reading a book attentively in a room of Sikong Mansion. Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes were like lacquer, and her lips were like cherries.

She was wearing a light yellow dress, and the sunlight swayed, shining on her beautiful face, adding a touch of pure beauty.

At this time, a maid walked in from outside, looked at Diao Chan reading quietly, smiled and bowed, saying: "Miss, I have found out everything. The master of the family has not come out of the study. It is not a family or national event, but a young master from Yingchuan County has come, named Liu Yu."

"Many years ago, after the master of the family was released from prison, he traveled around and hit it off with his father. The master of the family stayed at his home for several days, so they could be considered friends in need."

"Now that the head of the family is the Minister of Works, I want to rely on our previous friendship to seek an official position in the court."

"Who would have thought that Mr. Liu was arrested and thrown into prison as soon as he arrived in Luoyang. The head of the family heard about it and, thinking of their friendship in the past, rescued him from the execution ground."

Diao Chan slightly opened her cherry lips and hummed.

Still looking down at the book.

Ever since her father ascended to a high position, there had been an endless stream of young men from aristocratic families coming to see her father. She had long been accustomed to this.

Some seek official positions, and some seek marriage.

Diao Chan never cared about those who sought official positions, because she knew her father's temper. Her father would politely refuse those who were uneducated and had no talent, no matter how close they were to her.

As for the suitors?

Diao Chan has her own ideas.

Character comes first, knowledge comes second, and as for appearance, based on these two, the more handsome the better.

"How long have they been in the study?"

Xing Er said, "When Xing Er came back, the two had already talked for an hour. I don't know if he has come out yet. Miss, don't worry. After the master is done with his work, he will always let you go over and explain the books to you. Today will be no exception. Miss, just wait patiently."

The woman is thoughtful.

"My father was able to stay in the study with him for so long, so this man must have some knowledge."

The maid called Xing'er said, "Miss, don't blame Xing'er for being nosy. Ever since the head of the family took up a high position, there has been an endless stream of people coming to our house to seek official positions. How many of them are truly talented? They are all just empty-headed people."

"But Mr. Liu is quite handsome. He is a pretty embroidered pillow."

It has been seven or eight years since Xing'er came to the palace. She and Diao Chan have been together since childhood and have a good relationship.

Before she knew it, Xing'er's love-crazy habit came back again.

Diao Chan rolled her eyes at Xing'er and said in feigned anger, "Are you being obsessed with love again, little girl? I asked you to find out why your father came out of the study, but why are you asking if that Liu Jun is good-looking?"

When Xing'er heard the young lady scolding her, her little face turned red like a ripe red apple.

Seeing her embarrassed look, Diao Chan said with a smile: "Okay, stop standing here like an idiot. Go take a look again."

Xing'er bowed and responded, then turned and left quickly.

After Xing'er left, Diao Chan chuckled, as beautiful as a blooming rose.

"Silly girl, you love to be crazy all day long. Sooner or later, I will marry you off."

Diao Chan agreed with Xing'er's comment that Mr. Liu was a useless person.

As soon as he entered the capital, he was thrown into jail and almost beheaded. He doesn't seem smart at all.

As for whether this embroidered pillow looks good or not, Diao Chan doesn't care at all.

What she cared about at the moment was the book in her hand.

She lowered her head to look at the book, lost in deep thought. After a long while, she still did not understand the meaning. She frowned slightly and whispered: "Confucius said that the three hundred poems can be summed up in one word: pure thoughts. But what does pure thoughts mean?"

She thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the window.

The door was gently pushed open and Xing'er walked in.

Diao Chan asked, "Has Mr. Liu come out of my father's study?"

Xing'er took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Miss, Xing'er has found out clearly that the master of the family will not have time to explain the books to you today."

"The master of the family wants to have a candlelit conversation with Mr. Liu today, and sleep with their feet touching."

"What? Did you hear that correctly?"

Diao Chan was somewhat incredulous, and her beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Xing'er.

Xing Er replied, "I will not be careless about what the young lady asked me to do. The servant waiting outside the study is from my hometown. You have seen him, young lady. Although he is usually dull, he is very smart when doing things."

"Xing'er couldn't believe it at the time, just like the young lady, but he patted his chest and assured me that the head of the family had personally ordered him to prepare the candles, and it couldn't be wrong."

Diao Chan nodded, obviously believing Xing'er's words completely, but the doubt in her beautiful eyes did not dissipate, but became even more severe.

Diao Chan knew that her father was also a chivalrous man when he was young, and when he first became an official, he dared to hunt down and kill the eunuchs who were causing trouble for the whole county. It was also because of this that he became enemies with those eunuchs.

Later, when he was an official suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he found evidence of eunuchs' collusion with the enemy and was framed by the eunuchs. He was imprisoned and punished. Thanks to the rescue of his relatives, he escaped with his life.

The ups and downs in his official career changed Wang Yun's character greatly. He no longer acted arbitrarily, but became calm, steady and capable.

After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he became even more cautious in his words and actions, walking on thin ice, for fear that Dong Zhuo would catch him if he was not careful.

The young county official who was full of vigor and vitality has long disappeared in the past.

Now, Mr. Liu has just arrived half a day, and the enthusiasm that his father had back then has reappeared. How is this possible?

The woman was a little confused.

"What is the identity of this Mr. Liu that my father values ​​him so much?" Diao Chan said to herself.

If it's not about talent, then there is only one possibility, that is, this person's status and position are such that even his father would be a little wary of him.

Perhaps this is the only way to explain my father's abnormal behavior today.

"He is not a young master from some aristocratic family." Xing'er said, "I heard that his ancestors were marquises, but that is all in the past. His generation has long since fallen into decline."

"Now Mr. Liu's family only has a hundred acres of good land and several slaves. Because there are many thieves in his hometown, he is not safe at home. In order to make a living, he brought his servants to the capital and took refuge with the master of the family."

"Xing'er also heard that this Liu Jun has a bad reputation in Yingchuan County. Not only is he uneducated, but he also bullies men and women and has done many evil things."

Diao Chan was half-believing and half-doubting, and asked, "Is this news true or false? You, a girl, have been in your room all day, where did you get this news from?"

Xing'er replied, "A few years ago, when Mr. Liu's father passed away, the head of the family sent Wang Bo to Yingchuan County to offer condolences and to inquire about Mr. Liu's character and knowledge. All this information was obtained by Wang Bo back then."

"It was only when Liu Jun was arrested and imprisoned that Wang Bo learned that he had come to the capital. He talked about these things, and now these things have spread throughout the mansion."

Diao Chan: "Good news never goes out, but bad news travels a thousand miles. He himself behaved improperly, so it's not anyone else's fault."

Xing'er took two steps forward, picked up the teapot skillfully, poured tea into Diao Chan's cup, and said carefully: "Xing'er also heard something, I don't know if I should tell the young lady."

Diao Chan raised her head, glanced at Xing'er, and said with a smile: "This is not like my Xing'er's temper. If there is anything that should or should not be said, just say it."

Xing'er thought for a while and said, "Xing'er heard that the master of the family had a very pleasant conversation with Mr. Liu, and he mentioned the young lady during the conversation. As for what they were talking about, Xing'er is not sure yet."

"Seeing that the master of the family values ​​Mr. Liu so much, could it be that he wants to marry his daughter to Mr. Liu?"

Diao Chan was stunned.
