Chapter 496
The eldest lady was naturally Tao Zhan. After hearing a sound of rings and pendants, Tao Zhan walked in quickly and said with a smile: "Do you have time for the second sister?"
In the past two months, they have gotten along very well. Although this is something that has something to do with Liu Jing not being in the mansion, it is more importantly because of Sun Shangxiang's personality. She is afraid of annoyance by nature, has no interest in the miscellaneous things in the mansion, and does not care about anything. Moreover, she is simple-minded and has no scheming. Tao Zhan also likes her very much and regards her as her sister.
I also felt that she married far away from Jingzhou and had no relatives, so I couldn't help but feel pity for her even more. I just chatted with her when I had nothing to do. The two gradually became familiar with each other and became unrestrained.
Sun Shangxiang said lazily: "What's wrong with the eldest sister coming in like this?"
"The family is too busy today. I can't do it alone. Come and help me."
Tao Zhan said, pulled her up and walked outside, smiling as he walked: "Don't be so listless. Someone will send you a lantern later. You can arrange to hang the lanterns and I'll ask Yang Erniang to help you."
"Big sister, just leave this little thing to Yang Erniang. If you do it well, you will be rewarded. If you don't do it well, you will be deducted wages. She promises you won't have to worry about it, so I won't have to worry about it."
Tao Zhan smiled and said, "I actually just wanted to find something for you to do. I just got the news that the general is coming back at noon, so we have to hang the lanterns first."
Sun Shangxiang was surprised. Is the husband back today? Why didn't the stupid maid find out? She suddenly became energetic and smiled and said, "I'll take a stick later. Whoever hangs a lantern is lazy, I will hit someone hard to ensure that they can be kept in obedient."
Tao Zhan smiled helplessly, "My aunt, this is hanging lanterns, not training soldiers. If you don't hang them well, just ask them to hang them again, don't use a stick to hit them."
Sun Shangxiang also blinked and smiled, "I'm just talking about playing, I won't knock them with sticks, but what about? I really want to knock that guy."
"If it's knocking him, I'll support you."
The two of them were joking and walked quickly towards the gate.

It was noon, and at the gate, several servants were nervously hanging eight big lanterns. Although the lanterns at the gate were very particular, the servants had been hanging for several years and were already familiar with the road.
However, they were not good at getting a job today. This was the fourth time they had re-dead. They thought it was very good in the first three times, but the second wife was just dissatisfied and asked them to re-dead each time, which had already been tossing them for almost half an hour.
Although they complained in their hearts, no one dared to say it. They all knew that the second wife was the Princess Jiangdong. She was famous for being powerful in Jiangdong and could not be disturbed. The three servants were sweating profusely and were hanging the last lantern.
Next to the stone lion next to the gate, Sun Shangxiang held a date wooden whistle stick in her hand, and beating the stone lion boredly, but she kept sweeping towards the street from the corner of her eyes. Why haven't she come back yet? She has been waiting for almost a long time and is already a little impatient.
"Madam, we've been hung up, see if it's OK!" The three servants asked carefully.
Sun Shangxiang didn't even look at the lantern, and was about to say casually, "No, hang it again!" But at this moment, a team of cavalry appeared in the distance, heading towards the gate. The words were already at the mouth, so she changed her words, "Okay, let's go!"
The three masters were relieved and panicked and ran to the mansion, one running faster than the other. At this time, Sun Shangxiang had already seen clearly that the person in charge was Liu Jing. She bit her lips gently, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were filled with spring. She flashed and hid behind the door.
Liu Jing finally returned to his mansion. He was extremely happy to reunite with his family. He turned over and dismounted and quickly walked up the steps. His personal soldiers also dismounted one after another, and the outside of the gate suddenly became lively.
At this time, Liu Jing looked up at the lantern and smiled and said, "The lanterns today seem very neat!"
"Hey!" A slander suddenly came from behind, "Where are beggars from? There is no rice here, go to another house!"
As the words came, a whistle stick hit his shoulder, as if he was rushing to beggars. Liu Jing turned around and held the whistle stick. He saw Sun Shangxiang looking at him with a smile. Liu Jing felt warm in his heart, and he didn't care that the personal soldiers were behind him. He pulled the whistle stick forward, grabbed her snow-white wrist, and put his other hand on her waist, hugged her in his arms, and said with a smile: "I don't want rice today, I only want people today, and the girl will go with me!"
Sun Shangxiang didn't expect that he would tease her in front of so many people. Her face suddenly turned red and she felt ashamed. She broke free from Liu Jing and ran to the mansion in panic.
But after running for more than ten steps, she stopped again and felt from the corner of her eyes that Liu Jing had entered the door, and the personal soldiers had not come in yet. She seized this opportunity and glanced at him in a charming way. Her eyes were full of hints. She twisted her waist and quickly walked towards the back house.
Her hint of looking back made Liu Jing's heart suddenly warm. He turned around and said to his personal soldiers: "Everyone will go back to the room to rest! Get ready for dinner."
Everyone walked towards the side yard happily, but Liu Jing accelerated and followed Sun Shangxiang's back and chased after him.

In the room, Sun Shangxiang hugged her husband's neck tightly, and the two of them intersected their lips and tongues. It was unknown how long it took for them to kiss before they gradually recovered from their passion.
Liu Jing's heart was almost melting. He reached into her skirt and stroked her smooth and elastic skin to the fullest. Sun Shangxiang's whole body was soft and soft, her eyes were immersed in intoxication. She gasped in Liu Jing's ear and said, "Mr., you must be with me tonight!"
At this moment, footsteps came from the stairs outside the door, which scared Sun Shangxiang quickly pushed Liu Jing away and quickly tidied up his messy dress. Liu Jing was a little annoyed and asked in a low voice: "Who is it?"
Only a maid's timid voice was heard, "Master, please go and have lunch."
"I get it, you go!"
The maid left, and Liu Jing carried Sun Shangxiang into her arms again and wanted to kiss her red lips again. At this time, Sun Shangxiang had already woken up. She stretched out her hand and blocked Liu Jing's wolf kiss and smiled and said, "If anything, let's chat slowly tonight. Now we go to have a meal and meet your other two wives and your son."
She shook Liu Jing away from her hand, stretched out to her back, and said coquettishly: "If you dare to bully me again, my aunt will cut you with one knife."
Liu Jing laughed, "Okay! I will practice wrestling with you tonight."
Sun Shangxiang gave him a blank look, but her heart was so happy that she was about to explode. She held the long skirt with one hand and Liu Jing's hand with the other and ran downstairs. The silver bell-like laughter sounded in a string, "Go away! I didn't eat breakfast, I'm about to starve to death."

The New Year came as scheduled. Before dawn, Liu Jing got up early. Today is the sun and the day for sacrifices. Although Liu Jing did not attach much importance to family sacrifices and did not participate in the tribe festival for two consecutive years in Jiangxia. At that time, he could use the excuse of preparing for war, but now it is not possible. As a pastor of a state and becoming the leader of the tribe, he had to pay attention to tribe festivals.
The family temple is located outside the east courtyard. When Liu Biao was the leader of the clan, Liu Jing also participated in the clan festival several times. However, it was because of the family members and the scale was grand, but today it was very deserted. There were only two tribe members, Liu Jing and Liu Hu, and their family members, only six or seven people.
The ancestral temple has already been cleaned up, and the sacrifices and incense and candles are all prepared. In fact, Liu Jing is just here to hold a simple ceremony.
Before the fifth day of the day, Liu Jing took his wife Tao Zhan and Sun Shangxiang slowly to the temple in a carriage. It was Sun Shangxiang's first time participating in the sacrificial ceremony of the Liu family. She seemed a little nervous. She had been afraid of participating in the family festival since she was a child. If she could, she would run away, but today she seemed unable to escape.
She sat in the carriage and looked out the window with a restless look, trying to ask Liu Jing several times, but in the end she bit her lip.
Tao Zhan felt her nervousness, so he held her hand and laughed in a low voice: "Actually, it's the first time I've been here. It was very simple to worship in Jiangxia before. Just set up an altar and give a ritual. There is no such complicated ritual."
"Then why are you trying like this today?" Sun Shangxiang finally couldn't help asking. She glanced at Liu Jing, "Is it not possible as before?"
Liu Jing ignored her, and Tao Zhan pushed Liu Jing angrily, "This deaf old man, Shang Xiang is talking to you!"
Liu Jing turned around and said helplessly: "To be honest, I used to not participate if I could not participate, otherwise I would not have set up an altar table to deal with it. But now it is not possible. It is effective as much as possible. There are so many eyes on Xudu royal family sent an eunuch. Fortunately, there are not many people, so I try to be simple."
At this time, the carriage arrived at the gate of the temple and stopped in front of the steps. Liu Jing got off the carriage first and helped Tao Zhan and Sun Shangxiang down.
Liu Hu's family had arrived first. Liu Hu's wife Su and Liu Hu's sister Liu Ju came to meet Tao Zhan. Liu Ju was Liu Hu's elder sister, about 26 or 27 years old and very beautiful. She was originally the wife of Huo Jun's brother Huo Du. With less than a year of marriage, Huo Du passed away. Liu Ju stayed at home for seven or eight years.
Although the Han Dynasty did not encourage women to be widowed, Liu Ju never remarried because she did not like the right person. She wanted to marry a hero with great martial arts skills. Originally, Zhao Yun was the most suitable, and Liu Jing also wanted to match them together, but Zhao Yun didn't like her. The marriage was not completed, so she could only find another husband for Liu Ju.
Liu Ju and Su had already met Sun Shangxiang, and the women soon talked and laughed. They entered the family room together and waited there to change their clothes.
Liu Hu walked up with an eunuch and introduced to Liu Jing: "This is Min's eunuch who came from Xu Du."
The eunuch Mi was about thirty years old, with a slightly fat figure, handsome appearance, and looked very much like a woman. He stepped forward and knelt down to salute Liu Jing, "Old Numi should pay homage to the governor of the state!"
Liu Jing quickly helped him up and smiled, "Eunuch Min has worked hard all the way. Is the situation good now?"
The eunuch Mi stood up and sighed, "The emperor was bullied by Cao Cao and lived like a year. He hoped that the governor of the state would lead the army to the north as soon as possible, eliminate the treacherous and slanderous people, and return the bright world of the Han Dynasty."
Liu Jing nodded, "Cao thief is powerful and cannot be eliminated in one day. Let's take your time and ask the eunuch Min to tell the emperor that he would take care of the dragon body. There will be a day of clearing the clouds and seeing the sun."
"The old slave must tell the emperor the words of the governor."
Liu Jing winked Liu Hu. Liu Hu knew it and quickly said to Eunuch Mi: "The time is coming soon. Let's go to change clothes first and prepare for sacrifices. If you have any questions, I will talk about it in detail."
"Looking at me, I'm confused, so I must not delay the time. Please ask the governor of the state!"
Liu Jing smiled and walked quickly towards the locker room.
