Chapter 48: Demons

After Duan Yi, Sima Hui and others left, Wang Bing urged Liu Kuan to settle the bill and return to Luoyang. Wang Bing was anxious and didn't want to take the carriage, so Liu Kuan paid the carriage fee and sent the groom back. took Wang Bing, Han Dang, and Yan Rou to Luoyang on horseback.

Yan Rou took the grassland as his home, made friends with Wuhuan and Xianbei people, and was good at riding and archery, and Liu Kuan was busy asking him for advice along the way.

Yan Rou's riding skills are indeed good, and he has a lot of experience in explaining.

how to evenly place the center of gravity on the horse's back; how to maintain balance and coordination on horseback; how to train horses to make them obedient; how to make a horse calm, flexible, relaxed and flexible, confident, focused and alert; How to make the horse and the rider cooperate tacitly, "man and horse as one" and long-lasting and labor-saving......

Soon after, Yan Rou began to teach some difficult horse movements, and Liu Kuan and Han Dang learned it to the fullest, and they frolicked all the way, which was very pleasant. Han Dang's archery skills are also very strong, and together with Yan Rou, he often guides Liu Kuan, and several people come hunting all the way, but they eat a lot of game.

Along the way, some Yellow Turban people are often involved in the activities, preaching and practicing medicine everywhere, Liu Kuan felt heavy after seeing it, and thought that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was not far away......

Everyone finally arrived in Luoyang, Luoyang should be called Luoyang at this time, Emperor Liu Xiu of the Han Guangwu Dynasty in 25 A.D. set the capital of Luoyang, changed Luoyang to Luoyang, Cao Pi called the emperor, also set the capital of Luoyang, renamed Luoyang. Let's call it Luoyang.

Luoyang is located in the western part of Henan Province, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, named after its location in the Yang of the Luohe River, and is one of the four ancient capitals of China.

Liu Kuan used to stay in Liu's mansion, rarely went out, and occasionally went out, and also went to the residence of Hua Jun and others not far away. The last time I went out of the city and ran fast, I didn't have time to take a closer look, this time I entered the city, traversed most of the city, walked slowly, took Han Dang, Yan Rou who came to Luoyang for the first time, carefully appreciated the prosperity of Luoyang, only to see that the streets of Luoyang are spacious, the roads are straight, neat and regular, the buildings and palaces, the shops are lined up, the signs are eye-catching, the cars and horses are passing through, and the voices of people are boiling.

According to historical records, in the fifth year of Han Yonghe (140 AD), Henan Yin, where Luoyang is located, "has 208,486 households, and 101,00827 mouths", and Luoyang can be called the world's largest city!

Han Dang and Yan Rou lingered in the street scene, dizzying.

Liu Kuan and the others went to Hua Jun and the others' residence first, Hua Jun and a few servants sent by Zhang Youniang to serve were at home, and Zhang Li went out to set up a stall to tell fortunes. In the past, Zhang Li set up a stall to find people, but now he is bored at home, and setting up a stall has become his hobby and pastime.

Liu Kuan reported the situation to Hua Jun along the way. Hua Jun often followed Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng when he was young, and had a good relationship with Duan Yi, and when he heard about the recent situation of Duan Yi and others, he was also happy and disappointed. Thinking that his family is so broken, as a senior brother, he is like a waste, and he doesn't feel gloomy.

Hua Jun saw that Han Dang and Yan Rou were both generous and majestic people, and he couldn't help but praise and praise Liu Kuan's friends. Hua Jun paused, suddenly interrupted Liu Kuan's words, and said with a smile: "Zihua, go home quickly, the little demon has already made Liu's mansion restless!" ”

But it was said that Liu Kuan and others had been away from home for more than half a year, and Liu Tong had already been born as scheduled, listening to Hua Jun, now half of the people in Luoyang already know that Liu Mansion was born a "demon".

After hearing this, Liu Kuan returned to his heart like an arrow, and took Han Dang and Yan Rou to Liu's mansion quickly. came to the study to meet Liu Yu first, and his mother Kong was also relieved to see her son.

Liu Yu heard that Han Dang was from western Liaoning and Yan Rou was from the grassland, and he was very concerned about the border situation of the Han Dynasty, and he was especially interested in the situation of ethnic minorities, so he pulled the two to talk freely. Liu Kuan told Liu Yu that Han Dang wanted to serve in Liu's Mansion, and Liu Yu heard that Han Dang had the courage to deal with it properly, and saw that he was quite capable and talented, so he immediately appointed Han Dang as the commander of Liu's Mansion's guards.

Liu Kuan saw that Liu Yu was a little anxious when he was chatting unabated, and Kong saw it in his eyes, so he pulled Liu Kuan to say goodbye and leave, and Han Dang, Yan Rou and Liu Yu talked.

When he came to his residence in Xiyuan, Zhang and his mother had already married the girl Jinxiu who saw him coming, returned to his mother, and his mother got up to greet him, Liu Kuan saw the plump and moist He Niangjiao's eyes were slightly tearful, and he hugged her waist and hugged her into his arms, "It's hard work with my mother!" Seeing that his mother-in-law Kong was outside the door, he broke free from Liu Kuan's embrace, took Liu Kuan's big hand, and came to the bedside.

On the bed, a fat four-month-old baby boy was lying on top of it with his limbs outstretched, sleeping soundly.

Liu Kuan saw that Liu Tong looked exactly the same as in his previous life, and couldn't help but lean down and kiss his forehead. Seeing this, Kong Shi beckoned Jinxiu to leave, leaving the young couple alone. Liu Kuan took his mother, hugged her on his knees, looked carefully, he didn't see her for more than half a year, he couldn't change with his mother, he seemed to have grown taller, and his whole body was a lot plump.

"Who are you? Dare to insult my mother? Suddenly, a childish voice came from behind Liu Kuan, and Liu Kuan was taken aback.

Zhang Youniang hurriedly pushed Liu Kuan away and picked up Liu Tong, who woke up. Liu Kuan was shocked when he realized that it was Liu Tong who he was talking about just now. Zhang knew that Liu Kuan was frightened, and hurriedly said to Liu Kuan, your son will speak seven days after he was born.

"Are you Liu Zhen? Why doesn't it look like it? After Liu Tong looked Liu Kuan up and down, he glared at Liu Kuan with puzzled eyes.

Only then did Liu Kuan know that the mind of this four-month-old baby was exactly the same as Liu Tong before he fell off the cliff and died. Hurriedly picked up Liu Tong and walked to the window, while whispering in his ear: "Dahe, your topic is too big, it can't be said clearly in a few words,......? ”

Liu Tong is extremely smart, and at this time he already knows that the person in front of him is his father Liu Zhen in his previous life, and he can become a baby, and it is normal for Liu Zhen's appearance to change a little. The little hand strooped Liu Kuan's cheek, Liu Kuan hugged his son, buried his little head in his chest, lowered his head and kissed the top of his head, his face was full of tears, "Son, you are finally back." ”

Seeing that Liu Kuan loved his son so much, he was very satisfied, and he also walked over, hugged Liu Kuan's more majestic waist from behind, and hugged each other happily.

After a while, Jinxiu came in with food, at this time it was already afternoon and evening, Liu Fu had already eaten, Kong knew that Liu Kuan was traveling all the way, he must be hungry, so he asked Jinxiu to arrange for the room to get some food and send it over.

Jinxiu entered the house, "In broad daylight, I don't know how to be shy!" The second young master has eaten. ”

Jinxiu is the dowry girl with her mother, and she is the same sister as her mother, and she teased her when she entered the house. He Niang let go of Liu Kuan, stretched out his hand to pat Jinxiu, and was dodged by her. pulled Liu Kuan to sit down and prepare for dinner.

"Jinxiu, come here!" Jinxiu heard Liu Tong call her, so she came over and hugged Liu Tong from Liu Kuan's hand, Liu Tong muttered a few words in Jinxiu's ear, Jinxiu handed Liu Tong to his mother and went out.

Liu Tong looked at Liu Kuan and smiled strangely, making Liu Kuan uneasy to eat and drink.

Soon, Jinxiu came in with food on a tray, and Liu Kuan saw the food and was so frightened that his chopsticks fell to the ground. What Jinxiu served was a bowl of corn rib soup and two roasted sweet potatoes! Liu Tong giggled. Liu Kuan still endured his curiosity, ate sweet potato and corn rib soup, and didn't say a word, thinking a lot.

After dinner, Liu Kuan went to see Han Dang and Yan Rou, but saw that Han Dang went to the front yard to hand over the guard work, Yan Rou was pulled by Liu Yu and Kong Shi to have dinner, and Liu Kuan sat down to accompany him.

Kong learned that Yan Rou's parents died since he was a child, he was captured by foreign tribes when he was a child, and he was exiled, he was very distressed, seeing that Yan Rou was young and upright, calm in temperament, knowledgeable and polite, he liked it very much, and listened to Liu Kuan's introduction of Yan Rou's commitment and strong martial arts, Kong pulled Yan Rou and asked, "Hard-working child, I have two sons, Liu He and Liu Kuan, are you willing to be my eldest son?" Liu Yu bowed his head after hearing this, and looked at Yan Rou.

Yan Rou grew up in the grassland, with a rough temperament, and was pulled by Kong's family, feeling motherly and warm on the one hand, she was a little shy on the other hand, and she couldn't react when she listened to Kong's words.

Liu Kuan smiled and said, "Yan Rou, my parents want to accept you as a righteous son, are you willing?" ”

After hearing this, Yan Rou was so moved that she immediately knelt down and bowed to Liu Yu and Kong.

"Yan Rou has seen her father and mother!"

Liu Yu helped Yan Rou up, "Does my son have a table?" "I didn't choose a name, but I asked my father to give me a word." Liu Yu thought for a while and said, "San'er will be called Shuhua." "Liu Kuan's character is Zihua, Yan Rou has become the third brother, Bo Zhong Shuji, Yan Rou is exactly called Shuhua. After hearing this, Yan Rou knelt down again: "Thank you father, for the words!" Several people rejoiced, and after a long conversation, the feast was dispersed.

Liu Kuan returned to Xiyuan, and Jinxiu had already taken Liu Tong to the side room to rest. washed and slept with Liu Kuan, who served his mother, and the two did not see each other for a long time. Tired, Liu Kuan asked: "Master Uncle said that Liu Tong is a demon in Luoyang, what is going on?" He smiled heartily with his mother.
