Chapter 150: Brotherly Love
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Liu Xiu watched curiously from the side, and saw that the eldest brother's pit was getting bigger and deeper, and he asked suspiciously, "Big brother, what are you digging?" ”
Liu Xiu smiled mysteriously at Liu Xiu and said, "You'll know later." ”
After digging for nearly a quarter of an hour, Liu Xuanfang put down the shovel and took out a package from the pit.
The wrapped cloth couldn't see any color, Liu Xiu opened the package, and inside was a wooden box, and pulled the lid on it, Liu Xiu looked down and saw that it was full of gold ingots.
Liu Xiu's mouth opened wide in surprise, he never knew that the eldest brother had hidden so much gold here.
Liu Xuan first took out ten gold ingots and said, "This is the one hundred taels of gold that Zhen Fu rewarded you with last time to help Zhen Fu pacify the Green Forest Army. Then, he pointed to the remaining ten gold ingots and said, "The remaining one hundred taels of gold were left to you by your father before he died." Originally, the eldest brother wanted to wait for you to get married, and then give you this gold, even if you don't farm in the future, you can still wear
Worry-free ......"
Hearing this, Liu Xiu suddenly felt that her nose was sour, her eyes were hot, and tears flowed down.
He knelt on his knees and looked at the gold ingots in the wooden box, and his tears were like short-strung pearls, and he couldn't stop them. His father died too early, and his impression of his father has long been blurred, and he has been raised by his uncle and eldest brother over the years.
Thinking of his father, who passed away at an early age, his heart was sour, and when he looked at his eldest brother, his heart was even more sour. Who can believe that Liu Jiu now recruits as many as one or two thousand subordinates, but he can still see the robes on the surface, the clothes inside are actually patched, and almost all of Liu Xuan's money is used to support these recruited brothers
Yes, on weekdays, Liu Xuan's diet is also very simple, that is, pickles and dry food, and even sometimes he can't eat, and he has to go hungry.
The eldest brother himself can't even eat, but he hides his gold so tightly, how can Liu Xiu's heart not be sour?
"Why don't you use it, big brother?" Liu Xiu asked in a choked voice.
Liu Xiu knelt down beside Liu Xiu, looked at the wooden box in front of him, sighed softly, and said, "That's what your father left to you, even if the eldest brother starves to death and dies of poverty, he won't abuse a point." When Liu Xiu heard this, she cried so much that she couldn't cry. In Liu Xiu's life, the most beloved person is his eldest brother Liu Xuan, this is not without reason, Liu Xiu may have many shortcomings, and there are also many shortcomings, but in him, you can indeed see it
to excellent quality.
"Big brother, aren't you short of money now? Take this gold and use it! Liu Xiu cried for a while, wiped the tears on his face, and pushed the wooden box in front of Liu Xiu.
Liu Xuan didn't think about it, pushed the wooden box back to Liu Xiu's side, and said: "The eldest brother has already said that this is left to you by your father, no matter when it comes, the eldest brother will not use a point!" ”
Liu Xiu and the eldest brother looked at each other for a moment, pushed the one hundred taels of gold rewarded by Zhen Fu to Liu Xuan, and said, "Big brother, this gold was not left to me by my father, it was rewarded by Zhen Fu, you can always use it, right?" ”
"No......" Liu Xiu's voice did not fall, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said: "I was not the only one who contributed at that time, all the brothers have contributed and received rewards, and it should not be just me, and all the brothers should share it equally, and this money will be used to supplement the brothers."
Eat and wear your brothers! ”
"This ......" Liu Xuan's face was embarrassed, the so-called subsidy for the food and clothing of the brothers is equivalent to subsidizing him, after all, the food and clothing of the brothers are all under his control. Big brother, you don't have to excuse me anymore with this money! We are brothers of the same mother, this bit of gold, really need to be divided so clearly, do you really have to share what you and mine? While Liu Xiu spoke, he put the one hundred taels of yellow
Jin pushed Liu Xuan in front of him.
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment, smiled, nodded at Liu Xiu, and said, "Okay!" Ah Xiu, this gold, big brother accepted it! Wait for the eldest brother to have money and then ......" Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Liu Xiu waved his hand, and then pushed the wooden box in front of Liu Xiu again, and said: "Although this gold was left to me by my father, now my eldest brother needs money more, and I don't need it, even if it is what I lent to my eldest brother, big."
Brother also has to accept it. ”
Liu Xuan looked at the gold in front of him, couldn't help but sigh faintly, and said with red circles in his eyes: "Big brother is really useless......"
"The eldest brother has done a good job, if you really want to say that it is useless, it is also my younger brother who is useless and can't help the eldest brother share more." Liu Xiu choked up and said.
Liu Xiu patted Liu Xiu on the shoulder, no longer shirked, and put the gold he took out back in the wooden box, and then he took out a gold ingot and handed it to Liu Xiu.
The latter was stunned and looked at him in bewilderment. Liu Xuan said: "Didn't you say that you want to go to the city tomorrow?" ”
Liu Xiu knocked on the door of his head and almost forgot about his business. He accepted the gold ingot handed by Liu Xuan and said, "Tomorrow I plan to go to the city to buy a few pieces of cloth and make a few new clothes for everyone." ”
"Huh?" Liu Xiu didn't expect that Liu Xiu asked for money just to make them new clothes.
He looked down at the robe on his body, and felt that it was quite good and new, and there was no need to spend any more money. He said: "Ah Xiu, you just need to make a few new clothes for yourself, and you don't have to do mine." ”
Liu Xiu smiled meaningfully and said: "Everyone has a share, and no one can shirk!" ”
Liu Xuan looked at his little brother inexplicably, not understanding what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Liu Liang was placed under house arrest by Liu Xuan, and that night, the old man went on a hunger strike. didn't eat a bite of dinner, which made Liu Xiu worry for a while. The next morning, he ran to his eldest brother's house early and asked Liu Xuan if his uncle had eaten.
Liu Xuan laughed and said, "Uncle eats more breakfast than I do." ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he finally put his mind at ease.
Then he said goodbye to his eldest brother and went to Caiyang County. He walked around the county all morning, and when he returned, he carried several pieces of cloth on his back. When I arrived at home, I saw Li Tong, Li Yi, and Zhu You practicing archery with Fu Jun.
Seeing Liu Xiu, the four of them stopped practicing, stepped forward, bowed together, and said, "Lord! ”
Liu Xiu nodded and smiled at them and said, "You continue to practice." ”
Li Tong saw Liu Xiu holding several pieces of fabric, and asked curiously, "Lord, what are these fabrics?" ”
"It's all used to make clothes."
Li Yi asked in surprise: "Uncle Wen can also make clothes?" ”
Liu Xiule was happy, waved his hand and said, "How can I have that ability?" I'm going to ask my little sister for help! ”
"Oh!"
"You guys keep practicing, I'll go to the backyard first!" Li Tong hurriedly said: "Lord, let me help you!" As he spoke, he snatched two pieces of fabric and put them under his armpits. Li Tong is a warm-hearted person, and he is very positive in whatever he does, especially when it comes to Liu Boji, he sharpens his head and squeezes forward
。
Liu Xiu naturally knew Li Tong's thoughts, smiled indifferently, didn't say anything, and took Li Tong to the backyard.
Before arriving at Liu Boji's boudoir, Liu Xiu first handed over all the cloth to Li Tong, and he knocked on the door twice with a few cloth bags in his hand.
After a short time, the door opened, and Liu Boji saw Liu Xiu standing outside the door, and asked with a smile: "Third brother, why are you here?" ”
"The third brother went to the city today, look at it, what delicious food did the third brother buy for you?" As he spoke, Liu Xiu stuffed several small cloth bags in his hand into Liu Boji's hands.
Liu Boji cheered, took a small cloth bag, and ran into the house happily, and every time he opened one, he exclaimed: "Wow, it's candied fruit!" There are peaches, apricots, and persimmons! ”
Seeing Liu Boji's excited appearance, Li Tong, who came in with Liu Xiu, was dumbfounded.
Liu Boji opened the last cloth bag and poured out a round unknown fruit, she asked curiously, "Third brother, is this a fruit?" What kind of fruit is it? I've never seen it before! ”
"It's called An Pomegranate, it was introduced from the Western Regions, and it is rarely seen in ordinary times, but it happened to happen today, and the third brother specially bought it back for you to taste!" Liu Xiule said hehehe.
He lied without blinking. An pomegranate is a pomegranate, and an pomegranate is the name of an ancient time. As early as when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, pomegranate seeds had been introduced into the Central Plains, and the pomegranates that Liu Xiu bought could not have been transported from all the way to the Western Regions, but from the Central Plains
The varieties I planted myself, but it was true that pomegranates were not common here in Nanyang at that time.
"Wow, it turns out it's a fruit from the Western Regions, I said I've never seen it before!" Liu Boji was holding the pomegranate and was very happy. Seeing Liu Boji's joy, Li Tong also followed and giggled.
"Thank you, third brother!" Liu Boji pulled Liu Xiu's clothes and jumped and jumped.
Liu Xiu cleared her throat and said, "Bo Ji, do you know a little sister who has good skills?" ”
Liu Boji's mind was on the new thing of pomegranates, and she replied casually: "Yes, third brother, what's wrong?" ”
"Boji, do the third brother a favor, find all the little sisters you know, and help the third brother make a few sets of clothes."
As he spoke, he glanced back at Li Tong, and when he saw that Li Tong was looking at his little sister and smirking, he frowned and secretly kicked Li Tong below. Li Tong came back to his senses and looked at Liu Xiu in puzzlement. The latter's gaze fell on the few pieces of fabric he was holding, and motioned for him to hand them to Liu Boji. Li Tong finally understood, held the cloth, and when he approached Liu Boji, he stammered: "Uncle...... uncle
Miss Ji, this ...... This is what the lord asked me to send over......" Seeing that Li Tong was holding so many pieces of cloth in his hand, there must be a lot of clothes to be made, she pursed her pink diamond lips, snorted twice, and said: "No wonder the third brother suddenly sent me so many delicious food, as well as fruits from the Western Regions, it turned out to be."
You work for me! ”
Liu Xiu said cheekily: "In Chungling, who doesn't know that the best female red craft is our little sister, you are the supervisor, watching your little sisters work, brothers are relieved!" ”
"Humph!" Liu Boji put the pomegranate in her hand on the table dissatisfied. Liu Xiu deliberately said: "If you don't do it, then I'll go to someone else for help, but these foods have to be given to others!" As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the sack.
Liu Boji immediately put a few cloth bags behind him, and said angrily: "Who said I won't do it?" Say, what style of clothes does the third brother want to make? Liu Xiu smiled, reached into his arms, took out a piece of silk cloth, handed it to Liu Boji, and said, "Little sister will do it according to the above style!" ”
