During the Han Dynasty, transportation relied entirely on horses, and falcons and carrier pigeons had not yet been developed, let alone popularized.

The sluggishness of traffic has caused a blockage of information.

So, the officials at that time were not very busy every day, unless something important happened.

Hanoi County, which belongs to Sili Prefecture, is not too far away from Luoyang, so it is naturally not a remote area, and there are not many major events at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

At this moment, the backyard of the county guard mansion is already brightly lit, and the servants and maids are busy going in and out, it turns out to be ...... It's time for dinner.

Lord Taishou changed into civilian clothes in the inner room, tidied up his clothes, paced to the dining hall, and sat down.

(The county guard and the Taishou are the head of a county, and the assassin and the state pastor are the head of a state, sometimes the division of labor is slightly different, and sometimes one person is responsible, so don't be too entangled in the title...... ）

According to the ancient etiquette, when eating, the head of the family should sit in the middle position, and the others should sit on both sides according to their generation, and the women would eat in the side hall when the men and women did not sit separately.

At this time, although the Han Dynasty had already brought some things from the Western Regions, such as Hu clothes and Hu chairs, they were not widely used.

High-ranking families still pay attention to kneeling and sitting, a small table for one person, and sharing meals.

Eating at a big table with the later ones, which is better or worse, I will not judge here, the atmosphere is so that we will follow the local customs, casually gossip a few words, inappropriate, and hope for forgiveness.

The county keeper sat in the middle, and on either side sat a few of his juniors, and there was no one else.

This is not to say that he does not have elders, but that he did not invite elders during his tenure.

Therefore, the county keeper enjoyed the treatment of the head of the family very much, his eyes were narrow-eyed and reserved, and he looked at his children majestically and peacefully.

"Ahem" the habitual opening remarks of the big shots.

Several children hurriedly sat upright, trying to make the appearance of little adults, and bowed deeply to their father.

"How was your homework today, and are there any questions you don't understand?" Lord Taishou asked gently but with dignity.

It can be seen that in which era, studies are always the first, and the parents of the world are united, and the sky is visible.

"Back to my father, what Mr. said is basically clear......"

"There is a father, and the child has a little doubt......"

"Oh, let's hear it."

Before the meal, taking advantage of a little leisure, the father and son are filial and happy.

Soon, someone came to report that it was time to eat.

The county keeper nodded, and the maid brought a copper basin, and washed her hands with clear water.

Compared to other officials who have to play music or something when they eat, this county keeper is still quite refreshing, that is, the family eats quietly, and there is no such thing as the sound of silk and bamboo.

(The county guard cried: In fact, the inner house is fierce.) ）

The steaming and fragrant food is placed on the table one by one, making people swallow saliva and gurgle in their stomachs.

The county guard looked to the side, and the maid nodded slightly, signaling that the hostess's side was also ready, you, you can eat.

"Hmm!"

The county guard nodded, ready to eat.

But since he has written so much, he naturally can't get him to his heart's content.

Sure enough, just as the county guard picked up the wine cup and wanted to taste it, his lips were already a little moist, and a butler outside the door tapped the door frame.

The county guard was puzzled, his hand stopped in front of his lips, he was very unhappy, what is so important, I didn't see that I had to replenish my physical strength after a day of hard work, I really didn't have the strength to see.

"What?" The speed of speech is very slow and soft, but there is a smell of exploding.

The housekeeper has been following for a long time, and naturally knows that his master seems to be easy-going, but in fact, he follows the ancient etiquette very much, and he doesn't say anything about food...... Now that I hear the meaning of the master's house, I am naturally very panicked in my heart, I don't want to go back to the countryside to farm, I want to serve you all my life...... Yes, I think a lot.

"Lord Hui, someone has come to pay a visit." The housekeeper naturally didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly threw the pot.

The county guard was even more puzzled, the visit is particular, not that you can come if you want to come.

Send someone to bow down first, and if you agree, make an appointment at the door. Then, you must prepare a thin gift, not to mention bathing and burning incense, but also clean up, and then go to the door.

And the same is true for the host's family, according to the depth of friendship and the gap in the status of the two parties, make corresponding preparations.

Of course, the invitation on a whim is not on the list, please do not raise the bar.

Whether he invited someone or not, the county guard is quite clear, so when he heard the housekeeper's words, he naturally had doubts.

Lower? It's impossible, who is so bold, and listening to the butler's tone, it doesn't look like something big has happened.

Colleague? I won't come while I'm eating, not to mention the etiquette, is this here to eat, do you have the courage to do this?

Superior? It is possible, maybe he thought of something and ran in a hurry, but if the housekeeper is not in a hurry, then it can also be ruled out.

So, who could it be?

is really worthy of being a county guard, and he thought about all the possibilities in an instant, but found that none of them were right.

Since you can't figure out who the person is and can't show your adaptability, you don't want to, so as not to waste your energy.

"Ahem." The county guard coughed a few times unhappily, and reminded those who wrote books to pay attention to their writing, and stop talking nonsense.

"What kind of person......" The end note is curling, and it is official.

"It's Lord Liu, the county commander of Huai County, who came to pay a visit." The housekeeper's little eyes flashed, and he continued very neatly - throwing the pot.

"Hmmm! Well? The county keeper agreed, and the volume suddenly rose three degrees.

It turned out to be him!

）））

Liu Bei stood at the back door of the county guard mansion, followed by Liu Wen, 'patiently' waiting for the summons of the adult, his face was very calm.

Liu Wen tied the horse to the tethered horse stake, looked at the sweat stains on Liu Bei's back, tilted his mouth and teased his eyes, and laughed silently.

"What are you pretending to be, your whole body is sweating like pulp...... Tsk, but you're really thick-skinned, and you don't even have any sweat, and you're ......."

As a guest, when you come to the door to see the host, even if you are impatient after waiting for a long time, you don't dare to move around, so as not to be criticized.

Liu Bei was another official, and when he came to meet Shangguan, he didn't dare to move, standing quietly like a stake.

This time, I waited from the first watch day to the second watch, and the twilight became even more gloomy.

Liu Wen stood behind Liu Bei with a straight face, his eyes were very angry, what a big shelf this is, either he didn't see it or shouted in and reprimanded a few words, just hanging people here, what is the reason.

Liu Bei turned his head back and turned back, full of anger in his heart: You are a murderer, I really think I can't see the filth in your eyes, I, I'll smack you with a shit.

(Liu Bei is angry: Write books, get rough, can we not arrange me all the time, is this fun.) ）

Standing on tiptoe and looking at the door a few times, Liu Bei had no choice but to grit his teeth, ignoring his image, and approached the doorman.

"This big brother ......"

"I'm only sixteen, hmph, am I so old, I'm so angry......"

"Uh, it's just an honorific title, it doesn't mean anything else......" Liu Bei scratched his head in embarrassment, seeing that this person raised his head with a straight face, he had to turn to the other person stupidly.

"This ......"

"The government is important, go farther."

"Uh, okay, okay."

Yes, this one is even more polite, Liu Bei was defeated and retreated.

"I, I asked myself that I had already given you filial piety just now, and it was not rude, why did you treat me like this, the world is getting worse and the people's hearts are not ancient......"

Liu Bei regained his footing and sighed faintly.

The guards looked at the four directions with serious and cautious faces, and they had their own battles in their hearts.

"We've seen a lot of people, and you've been waiting for a long time and can't be summoned, and there's not a word of transmission, so it's judged that it's definitely not treated by adults, hum, we haven't come up with our favorite trick to beat the water dogs, think about it, look forward to it, hula lala......"

Seeing that it was about to be three watches, Liu Bei turned around and left, and his heart was happy.

"Your Excellency, please stay."

'Uhla'

Liu Bei's feet slipped and he almost tore out of the block.

Liu Bei regrouped and prepared for the big battle of the county guards.

PS: Thank you to the bosses who have always supported me, I don't have much talent, I can't sketch any magnificent scenes, and what I write is just some daily boring...... Thanks again!
