Chapter 107: Visit
It is exactly what Liu Ruoxi remembers. He thought that such a he, such a calm mountain, would be the most reliable reliance. But it turned out that he may have been a very reliable dependent, but he was not hers. Because of this, it also hurts people's hearts even more.
"General Zisi is too polite." Second Master Liu smiled and said, "That day, Neiko and the little girl have already talked about it when they came back." Where can I talk about any disturbances, but it is the inner son and the little girl, thanks to the general's borrowing of horses. β¦β¦ delayed the general's trip. β
"Exactly." Second Mrs. Liu also smiled, "I should have come to thank you in person, but I just thought that the general had just come back, and I was afraid that it would be inconvenient, so I did it." β
Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu treated Rong Chenghan as if he were a guest, and Liu Ruoxi had no choice but to return the salute to Rong Chenghan, and then walked quickly to Mrs. Liu's side.
Mrs. Liu glanced at Liu Ruoxi lovingly, and pulled her to sit down beside her.
"It's just a gesture, where is Mrs. Lao so concerned." Rong Chenghan also sat down at this time, his eyes were like electricity, he swept over Liu Ruoxi's body, and immediately took it back.
Therefore, Scholar Qi and Liu Shibo are both famous all over the world, and they have admired them since childhood. It is my honor to be able to do a little thing for my wife. β
Although Rong Chenghan's words were not much, they were very decent, and when they talked about the hearts of the second master and the second wife of Liu, the two of them couldn't help but look at Rong Chenghan more and more pleasing to the eye.
ββ¦β¦ Ignorant at an early age, wasting time. The young man went on the expedition, and in the past few years, although he had the intention to go to school, he was limited by the conditions and had no good teacher. Now that he has been recalled to Beijing, he has been sympathetic to the Son of Heaven, and he has some free time, and he wants to read some poetry and books, and he also asks Shibo to give him advice. After Rong Chenghan glanced at Liu Ruoxi, he no longer looked in her direction, but looked at the second master Liu solemnly.
"Why be so polite. Liu is not talented, but he has read some poetry books, and he is willing to discuss with his brother. Second Master Liu said.
Because Rong Chenghan respectfully called the second master Liu uncle, but the second master Liu couldn't recognize this title so arrogantly, so he had to humbly call Rong Chenghan the brother. It's not a mess of seniority, it's humility.
Liu Ruoxi listened to this, Rong Chenghan wanted to learn literature, and he also wanted to ask the second master Liu for advice, that means that Rong Chenghan would have to come and go with the second master Liu often in the future. Liu Ruoxi didn't want that to happen. If possible, Liu Ruoxi hopes to remain strangers with Rong Chenghan.
Rong Chenghan is a military general, so he should go to the company of those warriors who are also dancing with guns and sticks, and there is no reason to come to make friends with Liu Er.
"As a clan, the general has such a respectable status. There is a special sect in the capital, and it is the world-famous Confucian. I think that the general has also entered the sect school, and now that he is back, he has free time and wants to learn again. Why don't you go back to sectarianism? Liu Ruoxi thought about it for a while, and then said loudly, "Isn't the general forgetting the sect?" β
Rong Chenghan turned slightly in the chair and faced Liu Ruoxi.
Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu also looked at Liu Ruoxi. Liu Ruoxi didn't have a smile on her face at the moment. That slightly bland face was the result of her best efforts to control her emotions.
"When I was young, I also studied in the sect for two years. At that time, he was stubborn, and he didn't learn anything, so that he was angry with the master in the school. Now I'm old. It's not good to go in the sect. Just in case there is a summoning from the saints......" Rong Chenghan explained very sincerely.
Liu Ruoxi didn't wait for Rong Chenghan's words to finish, so she deliberately laughed.
"What the general said about single-mindedness to learn is a joke. Say what you don't go to the sect. It's not that I'm afraid of bondage. Several brothers in the family are in the sect, but I often hear them talk about kuna. If the general really wants to learn, he shouldn't be afraid of hardship! β
Liu Ruoxi used the method of agitation, and wanted Rong Chenghan to be embarrassed to say anything to ask Liu Er for teaching. Moreover, she felt that what she said was right, if she wanted to continue her studies, wouldn't Zongxue be the best place for a child of the clan like Rong Chenghan.
Of course, most of the children and teenagers in Zongxue will inevitably stand out from the crowd if they go to Zongxue with a height like Rong Chenghan.
It's just that this is not something that Liu Ruoxi considers.
"It's not that I'm afraid of hardship." Liu Ruoyan was sharp-toothed, Rong Chenghan was not an opponent, but he didn't see him in a hurry, but he still spoke pertinently. "I really admire Shibo, and it is a blessing to be able to worship Shibo's disciples."
What he said was not simply to ask for some knowledge, but to formally worship Second Master Liu as a teacher.
Although Master Liu Er has countless protΓ©gΓ©s, most of them are Jinshi who have passed the imperial examination, as well as the scholars in the Hanlin Academy, and there are not many who are studying with him. If you count it carefully, Liu Ruoxi should be regarded as a disciple of the lineage, and then Liu Yuwen.
Rong Chenghan thinks beautifully!
Liu Ruoxi's angry hand clenched into a fist in her sleeve.
"It's okay to discuss some knowledge in ordinary times, but when you say it, you really don't dare to take it seriously." Second Master Liu hurriedly excused himself.
"He started with the Shipper." Rong Chenghan has no false words, just such a sentence, but it is quite sincere and weighty, which is even more difficult to refuse.
The second master of Liu refused directly, and Rong Chenghan did not continue to ask, and after sitting for a while, Rong Chenghan got up and said goodbye.
"I'll come back to the house another day." Rong Chenghan said when he left.
Second Master Liu kept sending Rong Chenghan out.
Only Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi were left in the house, and Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Ruoxi a little strangely.
"Hi-er, what's wrong, you're not happy today?" Second Mrs. Liu asked Liu Ruoxi.
"Nope." Liu Ruoxi replied.
"Then why do you have a bitter face? β¦β¦ There was nothing wrong with that day. Even if we were in a hurry to ride a horse at the beginning, which scared us, we stopped on the official road first, blocking the way of the big guys. Besides, later they were willing to lend us the war horses. β
"Do you remember that horse, I just heard that the horse is not an ordinary war horse, it was given to General Rong by King Yongjing."
"You're not a careful kid. How do you look at people's faces today? β
When Second Mrs. Liu said this, it happened that Second Master Liu came back, and Second Master Liu nodded, and he also felt that Liu Ruoxi's attitude towards Rong Chenghan was unfriendly today.
"Nothing." Liu Ruoxi naturally refused to admit it.
"Thanks to his large number of adults, he doesn't bother with you as a child. You kid doesn't usually treat people like this. Second Master Liu said.
Liu Ruoxi's usual words and demeanor, and her treatment of people and things are very appropriate, but today she is so sharp with Rong Chenghan, and the second master and the second wife of Liu are aware of it. However, the two of them only regarded Liu Ruoxi as a child's temper, and they didn't take it too seriously.
"What adults have a lot, father, mother, you have only met him a few times, do you know him?"
"Could it be that you know people?" Second Master Liu said.
Liu Ruoxi was suddenly a little speechless.
"I'm right, he wants to continue his studies, just go to Zongxue, and come to pester his father to do something. Dad, don't be deceived by his appearance, the children of the clan, which one is not a human spirit, he must have other plans for doing this. I think it's better not to provoke subtlety. Dad is in the middle of the court, but it is a clear stream. β
"There's some truth to what you're saying." Second Master Liu nodded when he heard Liu Ruoxi say this.
"However, if the children of his clan didn't go to the north to make war exploits, they would be more than an idle clan, so it didn't matter." Liu Ruoxi was a little happy, so she heard Second Master Liu say this again.
"Hey'er, you don't pay much attention to this aspect of things. Don't underestimate this person......"
Second Master Liu took a sip of tea, and then told Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi about Rong Chenghan. In the description of Liu Er, Rong Chenghan is a young hero, a loyal minister who serves the country loyally.
"In the first year of Zhenghe, the barbarians committed a border, and at that time, he was only thirteen years old......"
Rong Chenghan's father, the prince of Yongjing of this generation, was a general, and he asked Ying in front of the emperor to pacify the north at that time. King Yongjing's lineage, has always been a general who protects the country, King Yongjing was already a little old at that time, but there was no better candidate in the court, the emperor gladly approved King Yongjing's request.
Rong Chenghan, as the third son of King Yongjing, was only thirteen years old at the time, he volunteered to go on the expedition with his father, and he also said some bold words, similar to the uncertain single situation and not returning, and the horse leather shroud did not hesitate.
"At a young age, he is not afraid of life and death, and has such courage and ambition, not to mention that he is in the clan, even in the family of Manchu military generals, it is difficult to have the right one!"
The tone of Second Master Liu was full of praise and admiration.
At that time, Rong Chenghan followed King Yongjing on the expedition, and many people speculated that he was just following his father and taking advantage of his father's shadow to make military achievements. However, after arriving in the north, Rong Chenghan's actions made these people open their mouths in surprise. Rong Chenghan did not follow King Yongjing, but asked to go to the northernmost Haizhou Wei, which was most severely infested by the barbarians. There, he started as a small soldier and accumulated combat exploits step by step, step by step, like other soldiers without any background, step by step, until he was promoted to the commander of Haizhou Guard.
During this period, Rong Chenghan fought hard, after countless battles, countless times of death, no one until he was the third son of King Yongjing. Or in a great war, he killed a leader of the barbarians, made great achievements again, was promoted to the guard of the thousand households, the court sent someone to commend him, and his life story was known to everyone.
Although Master Liu Er is a literati, he admires and admires the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy on the front line. It can be seen that Rong Chenghan's status in the heart of Liu Er's heart is also visible, and it can also be seen how deeply rooted Rong Chenghan's glorious deeds have been in the hearts of the people.
Liu Ruoxi knows what Second Master Liu said, and she even knows a lot of things that Second Master Liu and most people don't know, such as the scars on Rong Chenghan's body. (To be continued......)
