Chapter 100: Runan's Dismount
Uncle Wu stepped forward and asked softly, "Da Lang, do you want the hundred beggars you asked us to collect stay here or bring them back to Runan together?" On the third day of their arrival in the city, Liu Jing saw that the guards were idle, so she asked them to gather some beggars and homeless people within a hundred miles of the city, train them, and teach them to be loyal to Liu Jing.
At that time, it was just after the New Year, and when the green and yellow were not accepted, there were often some ordinary people who could not live for various reasons and were forced to become beggars, and those people were the main force accepted by Liu Jing. As for those who are beggars all the year round, she asked Uncle Wu to try to pick some young and strong people who are not good at leisure and hard work. Three months passed, and more than 100 people were collected and raised in the Zhuangzi outside the city, and Uncle Wu was responsible for teaching them literacy and the Confucian way of loyalty and filial piety.
Hearing Uncle Wu's question, Liu Jing nodded and said, "Take it back to Runan." In this way, Uncle Wu will go with me, and the remaining five people will be left behind, so that they can leave tomorrow with those hundred or so people. When he arrived in Runan, he was first placed outside the city. She took out some gold from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Uncle Wu.
After Uncle Wu hurriedly took it, the carriage began to start.
In a short time, the carriage came to the dock.
Liu Jing took five guards and Uncle Wu and stepped into the passenger ship.
In the bright sunshine, after a shout from the boatmen on the passenger ship, the passenger ship moved slowly, and after stirring up a string of white waves, sailed into the vast river.
Such a sage classic in Liu Jing's hand, that is, every sentence and every word contains boundless wisdom, and it is worth savoring thousands of times. As soon as Liu Jing got on the boat, she stayed in the cabin and continued to read it in a daze. It's also strange to say, obviously she has memorized these books backwards. But every time I look at it, I can realize a completely different connotation from before.
The passenger ship she was on was a large ship. There is a lot of people on board, and each time it arrives at a new pier. Some more people will come up. Because of the large number of people, the passenger ship was also very lively, but Liu Jing just turned a deaf ear, and for 20 days, she buried her head in hard study and never went out of the hatch.
In this way, in the middle of May, Runan City was finally in sight.
In the evening of that day, Uncle Wu strode to the door of the cabin. He shouted happily, "Da Lang, it's almost time to reach the dock." ”
"I know it." Liu Jing carefully put away a few books, pushed open the cabin door and walked out.
At this moment, hundreds of people gathered on the bow of the passenger ship, and everyone was looking at the front of them and gradually appearing on land, talking loudly and excitedly.
Seeing Liu Jing coming, the originally noisy and lively place couldn't help but be quiet. Unconsciously. More and more eyes were focused on Liu Jing's body, face. Faintly, someone was asking, "Who is this beautiful Langjun?" Why haven't I seen it all this way? "Whose son is he?" How did I not know that there was such a person in Runan? ”
Liu Jing turned a deaf ear to these inquiries and discussions. Just quietly walked forward. She originally had a luxurious bearing, like a powerful child of a first-class family, and she had been studying hard for the past few months. It also made her add a kind of nobility with poetry and books in her belly, such a she. That's quite an aura. Therefore, as she moved, the crowd that was originally crowded involuntarily retreated to both sides. Then unconsciously, Liu Jing stood in the best position on the ship, and like everyone else, looked towards Runan City.
As the ships moved at high speed, gradually, the pier was already in sight.
After looking towards the pier for a while, Uncle Wu exclaimed excitedly, "Dalang, look, the person who greeted us has arrived. ”
Liu Jing followed his gesture and looked.
I saw that at the west corner of the wharf, a large number of people had gathered, and Liu Jing recognized Uncle Wang and the other two old servants at just a glance.
Just when she looked seriously, Uncle Wu shouted again: "Hey, who is Lao Wang talking to?" Da Lang Da Lang, those should be relatives you have never met. ”
Liu Jing nodded and said with a smile: "It should be." ”
While the master and servant were talking, the passenger ship gradually approached the dock, and with a soft sound of hitting the ground, the big ship shook and then stopped abruptly.
It's finally landed.
As soon as she arrived at the dock, everyone who wanted to return to the dock flocked to the dock like a tide, Liu Jing was not in a hurry, she quietly watched the flow of people disperse, and then she was ready to step.
She was not in a hurry, but Uncle Wang and the others obviously couldn't wait, and almost when everyone was almost gone, they had already swarmed into the deck and surrounded Liu Jing.
After Uncle Wang and others rushed to Liu Jing, saluted her excitedly, and called Da Lang, a fat woman in her thirties with beaded hair rushed over first. She rushed to Liu Jing, looked her up and down, smiled and squinted a pair of small eyes and shouted: "Wenjing, I am your seventh aunt, I know that you are coming back, and I specially came to greet you." ”
Liu Jing bowed deeply to her and said gently, "Seventh Aunt is fine." ”
"Yes, of course I'm good." The woman nodded indiscriminately, then pulled the pair of children behind her and shouted, "This is your cousin, called Liu Shi, and this is your cousin, called Liu Min." You have to take good recognition and take care of it in the future. ”
Liu Jing smiled and saluted one by one.
At this time, another middle-aged man stepped forward, and he smiled at Liu Jing and said, "Wen Jing, I am your fifth uncle. ”
Liu Jing hurriedly gave a big salute and said respectfully: "How can Wenjing be greeted by his father?" The fifth uncle, Liu Xinggong, who was dressed as a businessman, smiled and helped Liu Jing up. Then he pointed to the four teenagers behind him and said with a smile: "These are my four sons, respectively, your lobby brother Liuguang, the second cousin Liuming, the third cousin Liudi, and the fourth cousin Liushu." ”
Liu Jing stepped forward to salute them one by one.
As soon as the fifth uncle finished his introduction, two young men came up with two sisters-in-law, and these four people were the two sons and two daughters of the sixth uncle.
After a cold noise to recognize her relatives, the fat woman's seventh aunt Liu Cheng came forward again, and she said with a smile: "Wenjing, originally, you are not worthy of our elders to come to greet you. But I heard that you are friendly with that Deng Jiulang, what is him, that good ......" When the words made Uncle Wang, Uncle Wu and the others change their faces greatly, Liu Cheng glared at the servants, and howled angrily with a sharp voice: "What are you doing pulling your face at me?" Who is Deng Jiulang? That's a well-known uncle of the country, Wenjing can get his favor and become a good friend with him. That's the blessing of Wenjing! ”
Her voice was so loud that it could be heard far away for a while. Fortunately, everyone on the ship was dispersed by this time, because they arrived at the final station. Most of the shipwrights also left, otherwise with the loudness of this sound, they would have drifted a mile downwind.
Calling this, Liu Cheng turned to Liu Jing, and said happily while pushing his own son and daughter in front of her; "Wenjing, what about your cousin, you want to find an official position in Runan, and you have to do this. Don't be too big either. Like your third uncle, you can eat 400 quintals. And your cousin, you see that she looks very handsome, your aunt is aggrieved, you let Deng Jiulang speak, and match her with the first guest or the biggest cronie next to him. By the way, you must be married to a wife, your cousin can't be like you, innocent ......" just said this. She seemed to know that she was speechless, so she hurriedly smiled and patted her mouth lightly, and said, "Aunt didn't mean that, Wenjing, you don't know what to say." Your aunt and I have always been straightforward people, but there is no malice. ”
is not malicious. It's just that she just arrived in Runan and gave her such a look. It's just that her reputation of Liu Wenjing is a trampling for her!
Liu Jing had completely put away her smile at this time.
She looked at Yoo Cheng quietly. After staring at it for a while, she walked away with a straight face.
Liu Jing in anger. There is an indescribable aura, unconsciously. All the relatives around her scattered.
Liu Jing strode to the other side of the bow of the boat seeing her anger those relatives looked at each other and slowed down but
Uncle Wu and Uncle Wang hurriedly stepped forward worriedly. When they came behind them, Liu Jing tilted her head slightly and whispered: "When crossing the pedal, let Awu make a stumbling block and get that Liu Cheng clan down the river, and I will let this Huai River water wash her mouth!" ”
The two old servants who have been by Liu's father and Liu's mother for many years, and know that there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and they are all stunned when they hear the words. After a while, Uncle Wang whispered: "But Da Lang, she is your seventh aunt......" Uncle Wu also thought in astonishment: After reading the book for a few months, the second sister-in-law became her when she was a child again. He is an old servant of Liufu, and until now I still remember that when he decided to lock up his daughter for self-cultivation, Liu's father once said with emotion: "My daughter is not only competitive, but also not a sincere person......"
Liu Jing glanced back at them and said quietly, "What do the two uncles mean, I deserve this kind of humiliation?" ”
"No, it's not." "Da Lang is angry, I have no intention of doing so."
"Then go and let Ah Wu do it, he is good at hidden weapons. Remember to remind him to be secretive. She doesn't need to remind her of this, the two old servants also know that the Tao must be kept secret, otherwise, just a hat of unfilial piety will be enough for Liu Jing and Ah Wu to bear.
After the two servants found Ah Wu and gave instructions, Liu Jing glanced at it, and then stepped ashore.
At this time, Liu Chengshi was also reminded and understood. While hurrying to catch up with Liu Jing, she shouted angrily, "Liu Wenjing, what do you mean by this? Do you dare to show me an elder? Hey, you stand still, your aunt just told you about it, and you haven't spoken yet. Do you hear that? You saw Deng Jiulang tonight, remember to blow the wind on the pillow......" Just when she shouted and caught up, and when she stepped on the pedal, I don't know if it was slippery or something, everyone saw her legs bent, and the whole person stepped forward, and after she screamed and waved her hands and stroked a few times, she fell into the river with a "plop" sound!
The wharf, which can berth a large cargo ship of hundreds of tons, is close to the shore, and the water is also very deep. As soon as the seventh aunt fell into the water, she grunted and drank a few sips of water, and when everyone shouted in alarm, her children rushed to the side of the boat, but they did not dare to jump into the water to save them. Liu Jing turned around suddenly, only to see her take a step forward and shout violently: "What are you still doing?" Those who know how to jump down in the water...... Ah Wu, you jump down and rescue my seventh aunt, Lang Jun, I have a lot of rewards! ”
