Only then did Liu Jing understand Liu Cong's intentions. It turned out that he wanted his own Xuanlin sword, so he set up a trap of sword quality and exchanged the sword in his hand with a method of courtesy.
No wonder he changed his attitude towards himself and was very enthusiastic.
In fact, Liu Jing didn't care about this sword. He would rather Liu Biao give him a good knife. If this sword was not given by Liu Biao, it would be okay for him to give it to Liu Cong.
The key is that this is the sword given to him by Liu Biao, which is Liu Biao's carry sword. Why didn't he give it to his son but Liu Jing? There must be a reason for this. Before he figured out the whole story, he did not dare to use the sword to change his sword.
On the other hand, Liu Cong set up this bureau and asked him for a sword, which really made Liu Jing feel unhappy. He felt like he was being fooled.
Although Liu Jing wanted Dian Wei's sword in his heart, he never used principles to exchange it. He put the sword down and smiled faintly: "If Brother Cong likes this sword, it's okay to send it to you, but this is my uncle who gave me a sword, and asked me to ask my uncle for instructions and then give the sword to Brother Cong, okay?"
How dare Liu Cong let his father know that he just wanted to change his sword in private and hide it from his father. If Liu Jing wanted to tell his father, what's the point of changing his sword?
He felt very hatred in his heart and laughed dryly: "I'm just joking with you, there's no intention of asking for your sword. Brother Jing is too worried, haha!"
He no longer mentioned the issue of giving away the knife, picked up three knives from the table and put them back into the cabinet. He glanced at the sword on the table from the corner of his eyes, turned his eyes and said with a smile: "By the way, I have another good thing to tell you."
"What's the matter? Brother Cong, please tell me!"
At this time, Liu Jing was full of disgust for this Liu Cong. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Cong said that Liu Cong was young and weak, but Liu Cong in front of him was arrogant and hypocritical, and he was petty. He just said that he gave him a knife, but he actually took it back. What's wrong with giving him a knife? Couldn't he find a way to give him this sword?
Did he think that if he took his knife, he would suffer in vain? He didn't even understand this kind of human nature.
Liu Jing felt that Liu Cong was not like the son of a prince, but like the son of a vegetable vendor. He was petty and afraid of losing a little. No wonder Cao Cao said that Liu Jingsheng's son was a pig and a dog ear!
Liu Cong closed the cabinet and locked it again. Then he came back and smiled and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to learn swords last time? I have been paying attention to you. It just so happened that the number one sword hall in Xiangyang is recruiting students. Although their conditions are relatively high, there should be no problem with your identity. Do you want to try it?"
Liu Jing didn't understand the rules of the sword hall, but he already knew who Liu Cong was and deliberately wanted to seize his sword. It is very likely that this so-called Xiangyang number one sword hall had hidden something.
Since Liu Jing learned Zhao Yun’s martial arts secrets, he has long lost any interest in learning the sword school. More importantly, he does not like Liu Cong and does not want to deal with him more.
He stood up and bowed and said, "I am not skilled in martial arts, so how can I be qualified to go to the Sword Hall to learn martial arts? Thank you Brother Cong for your kindness and say goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around and left Liu Cong's study and went back to his yard. Liu Cong didn't expect that Liu Jing would refuse completely. He was stunned for a moment, and Liu Jing didn't even give him face.

The next morning, a knock on the door woke Liu Jing up from his sleep. A ray of light shot into the crack of the window covering the oil paper. It turned out that it was already dawn.
He felt depressed. Last night, he thought about getting up before dawn to practice martial arts. Unexpectedly, it was dawn. However, the dark night was quiet, which made him sleep particularly sweet all night.
At this time, the door opened, Uncle Meng's figure appeared at the door. He pointed outside the door, "Young Master, Madam, please come over."
"I'll go now!"
Liu Jing jumped up from the bed and was extremely energetic. Uncle Meng couldn't help but grin. The master had never been so energetic before.
"Young Master, wash up first! I've burned hot water."
"Thank you, Uncle Meng, I can use well water in the future. I'm not used to using hot water."
Liu Jing stretched his waist long and straightened his body. The smile on his face became brighter. Although Mrs. Cai was cold to him last time, he didn't want to care. After all, Mrs. Cai had just had a miscarriage, and he could understand her feeling of losing the child.
Moreover, Mrs. Cai is the mistress of the Liu Mansion, and he should have visited her for reason.
Liu Jing was an extremely cheerful and generous person in his previous life. He traveled through 1,800 years, but his human nature was in line with each other.
His smile made Uncle Meng's nose a little sad, and he hurriedly walked out of the house, "Young Master, let's hurry up, don't let the wife wait in a hurry."
Liu Jing finished washing up quickly, and with a simple bunch of hair, he appeared in front of the maid at the door in full spirit.
"Sister has been waiting for a long time." The maid wearing a light green straight skirt looked at the lively Young Master Jing, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and said softly: "Young Master Jing, please come with me!"
Liu Jing followed the maid to the inner house, looking around all the way, and was full of curiosity about the pavilions and towers in the inner courtyard of the back house. It turned out that the inner house of the wealthy family looked like this.
The maid who led Liu Jing was a little worried, "This young man, hey! What a pity."

Walking through the bridge, you will enter an exquisite courtyard. A two-story vermilion building appeared in front of Liu Jing. This is Mrs. Cai’s bedroom. Generally, outside men are not allowed to enter. Liu Jing is Liu Biao’s nephew, and his household registration age is not over 16 years old, so he can enter.
"When you meet your wife, be polite!"
The maid repeatedly reminded him and took him to the front of the building. On the west side of the first floor was the small living room where he met his friends and guests. The maid walked to the door of the living room and bowed, "Madam, he is here."
"Come in!" The voice in the room was extremely cold, and there was a sense of hatred in his tone. The smile on Liu Jing's face disappeared. He remembered the first meeting with Mrs. Cai that day, and Mrs. Cai seemed to have no hatred for him.
There is no love for no reason, nor hatred for no reason in the world. He wants to figure out where he offended her, Mrs. Cai?

In the room, Mrs. Cai changed into a white embroidered deep robe with a cold look. She did not tell her husband about the witch girl. She knew that her husband had always hated the magic of witches, and what she said would lead to her husband's dissatisfaction with her.
She would not mention this matter again, but Liu Jing was engraved in her heart, like a poisonous sting in her heart. The most painful part was in her heart.
I called Liu Jing here today, but it was her obligation as an elder and mistress of the family. Her husband specifically instructed her last night to treat her nephew well.
A dark shadow appeared at the door, and Liu Jing, who was tall and strong, walked in. This was their second meeting. Although it had been a month since the first meeting, she still couldn't control her hatred for Liu Jing when she thought of her dead child. She believed that Liu Jingke had died of her child.
Liu Jing came forward and was about to salute, but Mrs. Cai waved her hand to stop him and said coldly: "You don't have to worship me in the future. Not every junior can accept the gifts."
Liu Jing was really harsh. Mrs. Cai’s disgust towards him made his tolerance disappear and he also became extremely disgusted with Mrs. Cai. Since there was no need to worship, it would be best.
"Is there anything wrong with my aunt looking for me?"
"And... don't call me aunt, just like the mansion, call me wife."
Mrs. Cai turned her head to the roof, and there was an unconcealed contempt and hostility in her cold tone. Liu Jing was also silent, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
"What do you want to say to me?" Mrs. Cai glanced at Liu Jing.
Liu Jing restrained the urge to turn around and walk. He had now clearly felt Mrs. Cai's hostility. This hostility was not because of her depression due to her miscarriage, but was aimed at him.
Perhaps it was because he threatened her interests, so it should be like this. He and Mrs. Cai have no grudges and no relationship, so hostility will not arise for no reason. Only when the interests are threatened will hostility appear. It should be something that he didn't know behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Liu Jing's tone became colder, "Is there anything that Madam is asking me for?"
Mrs. Cai looked at him strangely, and she also felt the respect in Liu Jing's tone disappear, just like a passerby, but she didn't care.
"Your uncle told me last night that you have been living in the mansion for a month, so I'll ask you what do you need?"
Liu Jing bowed slightly and said, "Madam has troubled me. Now I live well and there is no need."
Mrs. Cai sneered in her heart, quite stubborn. She remembered the things her husband had entrusted her to her, hoping that the Cai family could grant Shaoyu to him. She hated Liu Jing even more. A person who defeated her children to death and wanted to marry her niece?
She took out Liu Jing's Yuan Jian and asked coldly: "Do you know why I asked you about Yuan Jian?"
Liu Jing's heart thumped. Why did Mrs. Cai ask this? Did she become suspicious of her identity?
As soon as he entered the door, he found that Mrs. Cai was an extremely smart woman. In addition, with the unique sensitivity of women, don’t let her see any flaws.
Liu Jing was uneasy and shook his head, "I don't know."
Liu Jing had no idea that he was involved in the marriage between Liu and Cai families. He did not expect that Mrs. Cai was not actually skeptical about the authenticity of his identity, but wanted to find a way to prevent him from marrying the daughter of the Cai family.
Mrs. Cai raised Yuan Jian in her hand and asked again: "Did your uncle say anything to you about this Yuan Jian?"
Liu Jing shook his head, "Uncle hasn't said anything to me."
