Chapter 68: The Three-Year Covenant

"That ......" The two probably felt that it was not good to sit all the time, so they planned to squeak, but they didn't want to happen that the two of them were talking at the same time, and they suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation again.

"You ...... first" subconsciously replied, but found that he spoke at the same time, and finally lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Puff ......" This time it was Zhen Jiang who was the first to laugh, "Liu Sima is ten years older than Jiang Mingming, but he has a feeling of being the same generation as Jiang." ”

To put it bluntly, she is unsteady or immature, and she is as twisted as a little woman. But that's just right, she doesn't want to communicate with that kind of guy who is one-size-fits-all, it feels the same as facing her father, it feels weird.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've spent twenty-three years in vain, and it's the first time I've ......come into contact with men and women," Liu Tao replied a little embarrassedly, how much theory is needed, but I really have no experience in actual combat.

"But I heard that at Sima's age, he usually goes to visit the Qinglou......" Zhen Jiang's chatterbox slowly opened, but he didn't expect to ask such an embarrassing topic as soon as he came up.

"Qinglou, ah......" Liu Tao recalled, in his memory, when Liu Deran went to study, he did follow Liu Bei to visit in Luoyang, "I went to it once or twice a few years ago in my memory, Luoyang's Qinglou thieves are expensive, and the price of some water and wine is more than three times more expensive than Zhuoxian's hometown, and I found a few young women to accompany me, and I almost couldn't speak the whole way......"

told the situation in his memory, but it caused Zhen Jiang to laugh. But I probably understand that this Liu Sima should not be the kind of existence that likes to linger in the land of fireworks.

After all, Qinglou is like this, and the female dormitory, or the kind with a half-open door, naturally doesn't dare to go. After the conversation was opened, Zhen Jiang's secret also began to open to Liu Tao.

Liu Tao knew that although Zhen Jiang had been learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, he was now at the age when he liked to play. So from time to time, she asks her best friends or a few younger siblings to go out to play, and even lies to hide her whereabouts, and asks a few younger siblings to help her lie.

Liu Tao also said that how he was in those years caused his father to jump to his feet, and the two chatted and chatted, and they actually felt like they had met a confidant.

"An unvirtuous woman like me...... Deran doesn't dislike it either? After talking for a while, Zhen Jiang realized something and looked at Liu Tao with some concern.

Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, Zhen Jiang exposed his stubbornness, and he actually became nervous for a while.

"Haha, you should have fun at your age, it's good to be innocent. is only twelve years old, but he has to learn from adult women, doesn't this suffocate people? After five or six years, you have had enough, and you can learn how to run a house. Liu Tao said.

In this era, he would not dare to say such a thing in the future, after all, there was a feeling that there would be something more on his head.

"You can only say these words to your father, it's useless for me to say it." Zhen Jiang pouted, which was a complaint. Immediately, he shook his head, "It's just that after so many years, I have slowly gotten used to it, and I have nothing to do in my spare time, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." ”

looked at Liu Tao again, lowered his head and said, "Besides, I have to learn a little more, the way to run a family ......"

I didn't finish speaking, but my face was already red, I was afraid that even the way of husband and child, I had to hurry up and study, and I really didn't have time to go out to play. At least in Liu Tao's opinion, that's probably what she meant.

"It's okay, you're still young, and the days are still long." Liu Tao can only comfort him like this, "It's just that now I haven't made a contribution, although I have the position of Sima of another department, it won't be ......long in the end."

Zhen Jiang was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what Liu Tao meant by this.

"So I hope that in a few years, my side will settle down, and if I have a career, I will marry you again, okay?" Liu Tao said slowly, twelve years old is indeed too young, "Let's make a marriage contract first, at most three years, I will marry you!" ”

In fact, it's better to have four years...... Liu Tao complained in his heart, the burden in his heart at the age of sixteen was slightly smaller. No, no, it will take at least five years, after all, this is a virtual age, in other words, Zhen Jiang is only eleven years old this year, so if you have to marry like this, it will be too beastly!

From now on, in the past three or four years, although there is still constant turmoil in Kyushu, and a large number of thieves raise troops every year, they are generally barely stable. A large number of gentry died, leaving a lot of land vacated, and the displaced people had a place to settle down.

After all, there is still a bit of 'Han Zhongxing'.

It's just that in Liu Tao's view, it is nothing more than raising the soup to stop the boiling, especially the restoration of the state pastoral system, which creates conditions for the later secession. As for the root cause, it is the edict issued during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, allowing the children of local good families to form a militia to resist the Yellow Turban thieves!

He also planned to take advantage of the past three or four years to farm well, run a base area well, and have about three or four thousand soldiers, so that he would be qualified to participate in the princes' discussion of Dong.

It is best to take the opportunity to kill Zhang Yang, and then seize Shangdang County, and then use this as a foundation to seize the entire territory of Bingzhou as a territory. With Huguan and Taihang Mountain, Yuan Shao was blocked, and at the same time he went all the way west. Not to mention anything else, there will be no shortage of cavalry, so even if the stirrups and horseshoes are leaked, they still have the foundation to dominate the world.

When stirrups and horseshoes were first offered, stirrups were originally there, but they were not mature, and horseshoes were to prolong the service life of horses, reduce the wear and tear of cavalry, and did not directly help to improve combat power.

In that case, why didn't he offer it? Do you keep it in your head and get moldy? It's better to take it out and exchange it for real profits!

Zhen Jiang didn't know Liu Tao's thoughts, but he didn't expect that the other party proposed a three-year contract, and suddenly sobbed a little: "Could it be Liu Sima, don't you think Jiang is not good and doesn't look down on the little girl?" ”

"No, no, absolutely nothing!" Liu Taolai hurriedly replied, "You are very cute, and you are definitely a beauty when you grow up!" I even think that after meeting you, there is something wrong with the man who has the opportunity but chooses not to marry! ”

"Then why ......" Zhen Jiang heard this, and his sobbing sound was much less, but he was still not sure.

"It's just because in the past few years, you have to concentrate on your work, but you can't immerse yourself in the gentle township." Liu Tao was a little embarrassed, "I insist on telling the truth...... I prefer to climb over the ravine......"

Zhen Jiang was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Liu Tao for some reason. After seeing what he was pointing at, he immediately turned away, clasped his hands in front of his chest, puffed out his cheeks and said, "Liu Sima...... You're a disciple......"

"But I've also heard that Confucius also said 'chromophobia'." Liu Tao teased.

"Then you have to wait for me for three or four years......" Zhen Jiang flattened his mouth, "The gully is not something I can have." ”

"Then wait three years for now, whether it is or not, I will do it." Liu Tao leaned over, "How?" ”

"I'll be waiting for you for three years...... But keep writing and don't break the covenant after three years, or I won't spare you. Zhen Jiang deliberately looked like he was dancing with his teeth and claws, and at the end he stuck out his tongue at Liu Tao.

"If I don't come in three years, I won't be able to spare myself." Liu Tao laughed, feeling relieved.
