In the newly built courtyard in the backyard, the vegetable garden is quite exquisitely maintained, and in front of the stove under the eaves of the verandah outside the house, there is a delicate and beautiful figure who scans the stove with his head down, and his mouth is busy with broken thoughts.

"Qiuyi."

"Master."

When he heard the voice, the figure was opening the wooden cover, raising his head in the smoke, his face was hazy and gentle, "The husband is here...... You're Xiaoxue, right? Hehe, the master was rude, and she didn't bother to talk to you. I must have been tired all the way, and I didn't eat well. I cooked the hollyhock soup and tasted it. I don't know what to eat in Jingzhou. Be careful with scalding. ”

Geng Qiuyi filled the soup and handed it to Fang Xue, Fang Xue took a sip with her lips, her little face was quite enjoyable, "It's so fresh." Master, I want to learn from you too. ”

"Okay...... Hey? I found out that the official words are so good. ”

"Ah Weng, Uncle Zhongjing, and Grandpa Pinji taught me when I was very young. On the way, the teacher and Uncle Gongda also taught it. ”

"That's also very smart, my sister can't learn it when you're so old. You sit down for a while. ”

Geng Qiuyi glanced at Liu Zheng, who was stopped in front of the stove and looked at him, turned his head and continued to be busy, and said with a smile: "Husband, let's go and meet Brother Zhao Qian first." Knowing that you were coming back, he clamored to go over to see you, and finally let Qinghe fall asleep. The concubine came over to prepare the meal, and he was woken up again, Qinghe was coaxing...... He didn't speak, he probably cried. He always said that it was useless if he broke a hand, and he didn't listen to anyone's persuasion, so his husband talked about him. Bowl. ”

"You...... How is it alone? ”

Liu Zheng handed over the bowl, caught a glimpse of the scattered wounds and scars on Geng Qiuyi's fingers, and then glanced at another house on the side, where Geng Qiuyi had been confined for a hundred days.

He looked through the window at a large number of bamboo slips and female red tools on the desk inside, and could vaguely see the corners of the machine, the simple mourning hall arranged on one side, turned his head and looked at Geng Qiuyi's attributes again, and saw that the intelligence of the highest "65" point in the other party's previous attributes had been improved to "69", and the politics of "53" had also reached "55", and even the other attributes had been improved by one or two points, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In fact, when he saw Geng Qiuyi for the first time, he would say "hard", just because he knew that Geng Qiuyi's attributes had improved, and it was difficult to say the state of mind at that time, except for the joy of reunion after a long absence, Liu Zheng did not deny it, deep in his heart, he was moved and admired, but also envied Geng Qiuyi's sudden greatly improved attributes, and even had a trace of jealousy.

Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, along the way, have basically not moved much, Jian Yong and Li Cheng have improved a little bit for the attributes that are insignificant to their positions, but it is as obvious as Geng Qiuyi, and it is the first time Liu Zheng has seen it.

It's just that at that time, he couldn't guess whether the other party still had that dream space, and he felt in his heart that even if there were, the other party could have a large increase in attributes, and it must have gone through unimaginable efforts.

At the same time, Geng Qiuyi's face was a little sad when he first met, and he was also driven by the Li family to tear when he worshiped Liu Shi in Taoyuan, but he basically didn't cry much along the way, and at this time, he came here to cook and take care of Zhao Qian for the first time, instead of accompanying himself to talk about his heart, it can be seen that the other party is obviously much more mature than before Gu An left.

"Husband, what's the matter? Don't you see how many people are coming with us? There are a lot of people in the front hall, and there are not many cooks and maids in the village, so they have long been busy. The concubine body is also because she needs to keep filial piety, so she came over to give Brother Zhao Qian more food to replenish her body, and I am afraid that you will not eat well all the way, guessing that you will always come...... Let's go inside. You and I have time to talk. The concubine is almost done. ”

"Good...... I got it. ”

Looking at Geng Qiuyi's non-fake expression, Liu Zheng smiled knowingly, took the soup in, and was stunned when he saw the dishes gathered together on a big table, and then glanced at the kneeling mats placed on the three sides of the table, which confirmed that although Geng Qiuyi didn't know about the tables and chairs, he did understand the concept of dissolving the meal.

"Childe."

Qinghe's voice came from the door of the bedroom, Liu Zheng came back to his senses, put down the soup bowl and nodded in, and saw Zhao Qian lying on the bed, his left sleeve was empty, his right hand was clutching the futon covering his waist and abdomen, and he was looking at him with ruddy eyes: "Lord...... Zhao is incompetent......"

"It's me who is incompetent. There's no way to find someone to heal you in advance......"

Liu Zheng sat on the edge of the bed, held Zhao Li's right hand, and his expression was slightly astringent, "I've been to Gu'an." Qian County Ling and Guan County Cheng are good officials, but they have all died from the plague...... Hua Tuo, they didn't find it either. I found Zhang Ji, but I don't need him anymore. ”

"Don't blame yourself, Zhao only hates himself and ...... him"

"You should remember what I said in Gu'an that day. Now that this is the case, find another way. You are the right god general in the mouth of the people of Gu'an, and when I came back and passed by, they still remembered you. Don't let them down. ”

Liu Zheng shook Zhao Li's hand, "A martial artist can be majestic on the battlefield, but I went south all the way and found that brave martial arts are not of much use." It is not for nothing that some people have read some books and claim to be enemies. Moreover, officialdom and battlefield are deceitful, and it is not enough to be brave. ”

Geng Qiuyi led Fang Xue in with a tray, and Liu Zheng took the rice bowl from the tray, "Take care of your injuries, I still need you to do things in the future...... Heh, utilitarianism is a bit strong. I can trust you, and I hope you believe in me. I'm not perfunctory to you. Can you get up? I'll feed you. ”

"Uncle, don't be discouraged. Xiaoxue is known as the old man who lives well. You are a god general, and you haven't been subjected to much abuse before...... Xiaoxue is very envious. And ah, the teacher is the best, he will not let you down. ”

Fang Xue helped serve the soup, and blew hot air in the surprised eyes of Qing He and Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian wiped his eyes and smiled, and was helped by Qinghe to sit up, "Okay." Uncle listens to you. However, the little ...... Xiaoxue, don't be presumptuous, what is the old man, when you meet the lord, you will come to the bitter end in the future. ”

"Uh-huh, yes. Xiaoxue knows. ”

"You're right."

Liu Zheng agreed with a straight face, and then laughed, "I'm embarrassed to say myself." ”

Geng Qiuyi covered his mouth and smiled, and pointed to the bamboo slips on the table on the side, "Actually, at the beginning, Brother Zhao Qian also said some moods and experiences of medicine according to what you said that day, and then he knew that he was going to break his arm, so he quarreled with Ke Commander and drove everyone out, and these things were naturally put down...... The concubine knew that as soon as her husband came, anything could be solved. In the future, Brother Zhao Qian still has to talk to me well, so that the concubine can finish these things. ”

"Madame ...... laughing"

Zhao Li's face was embarrassed, and when he saw that Liu Zheng was feeding him with a spoon, he was a little moved to refuse, but he still accepted it at Liu Zheng's insistence.

It didn't take long for Geng Qiuyi and Fang Xue to have dinner around the case, and chatted with Zhao Qian for a few words, letting Fang Xue stay in the house, Liu Zheng walked to the vegetable garden and looked at Geng Qiuyi's figure taking care of the vegetable garden, "How many cases did Xiaolang do?" ”

"It's so heavy, naturally it's Sister-in-law Qin who helps Xiao Lang together. I didn't understand the concubine body that the husband said that day, so I had to do that. However, except for the mother and Xiaolang who eat like this, the others are only like this between husband and wife - it is almost the same as usual. I mentioned it once, my mother said that it was not etiquette to let guests eat like this, and it was a bit dirty. The rest of the people also felt drooling...... The concubine was thinking, I'm bleeding, and it's not appropriate to suck it myself once in a while...... Speaking of which, Xiaoxue was smart, so her expression changed, she didn't say anything, and she looked quite happy. ”

Geng Qiuyi looked deeply at Liu Zheng, who was smiling, "Moreover, what the husband said always makes sense." I eat like this with Qinghe on weekdays, but Qinghe is used to it because of my identity...... On weekdays, Xiao Lang and Qinghe sit on that cushion, and occasionally Lingxi will come over to eat. By the way, Lingxi ......"

Liu Zheng took the sickle on the side and helped remove the weeds, "On the way, I know that Lingxi has recovered, and I am also very happy." Listening to Brother Li, Zhu Ming wants to wait for me to finish my filial piety before getting married? ”

"That's right. Both of them are ...... because of you."

Geng Qiuyi paused, and changed his words, "It's a good thing anyway." When the husband saw the three cushions, did he feel that the concubine was an unpredictable prophet? The concubine has been secretly happy for a long time, but I didn't expect to wait for you and Xiaoxue today. But today you are here, Qinghe is not easy to be together, you must be greedy. Her cooking skills are not as good as those of concubines, and she likes to cook concubines the most. ”

"I've ever tasted the best home-cooked food, and it's better than my mother's cooking."

"The husband praises it, but ...... There is also the credit of the husband. ”

Geng Qiuyi blinked, "That thing...... Oh, Miss Zou has seen it. She was in her room that night, and she came out to open the door for me, and the concubine was able to move around. It's just that as soon as she left, the concubine was alone...... I didn't dare to go out. ”

"Alone?"

The implication of the words Liu Zheng naturally understood, and he was also a little lost at this time, "That is, you can't see it from a long distance?" ”

"Yes. Does you want her to know you're back? The letter must have been sent out, and the farm will do it. ”

Geng Qiuyi seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "Husband, I heard Miss Zou talk about what you encountered, and I feel very interesting...... Miss Zou's temperament is also really pleasing. Sometimes lively like a man, sometimes sullen and sentimental, especially playing the pipa. But it's still a lot of time, in order to learn martial arts, there are also a lot of entanglements with the two uncles, Uncle Tong's little apprentice Zhao Zilong, introverted, those days were also annoyed by her, and finally hid when I saw her...... I think my husband is coming back this time, so why don't you call her back? Just taught her to practice martial arts. ”

"Let's see...... Heh, she told you? You know all the hidden image of my disciple. ”

"Where is Meng Lang? Miss Zou was actually afraid that you would do something wrong, didn't you do it? Besides, if you think about it, if you think about it, suddenly there is a person who often appears at night, and she will accept her fate, and the husband said that those immortal monks said that they would make this deed in advance, and it would be regarded as giving Miss Zou a step down...... Well, the concubine body is a short protection. ”

Geng Qiuyi smiled beautifully, then straightened up her slender willow waist, pulled Liu Zheng and hesitated as she walked: "But now it seems that there is no chance...... Does the husband know the reason why he can't get in? I thought about it before, but then I felt that I shouldn't be able to get in, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see both of you...... Uh, the concubine is rude. ”

"It's human nature."

Liu Zheng smiled, and then said, "Why can't I get in, it's not clear." It may be related to the body after typhoid fever. Actually, I'm here for this purpose. There's something going on over there. ”

He said the anomaly that appeared in Gongsun Zhan's tenure, and Geng Qiuyi frowned: "It seems that it can only be written over, or ...... Let the husband re-enter. ”

"How to get in? I've thought about it in the context of how you got it, but that's not the right way...... Filial piety. Besides, there is no hurry, if there is a situation, someone from the court will come to inform you. Putting aside these nonsense thoughts, it is always a good thing that Brother Bo Jue takes office. ”

Geng Qiuyi nodded, walked to the stove and poured a bowl of water, then wrung a towel and looked out of the courtyard, "That's all it takes." In that case, let's go get busy first. Commander Zhu and they were supposed to come over, but since there was no one, they were afraid that there were too many things to be busy. Maybe...... I also want to leave some time for you and me to talk to each other, and wait outside anxiously. ”

After drinking water and wiping his face, Liu Zheng stared at Geng Qiuyi, and then bowed his hand and said solemnly: "I haven't seen you for a year, Mrs. has worked hard." ”

Geng Qiuyi was stunned, then his eyes turned red, and he replied helplessly: "The same is true for the husband." Then he pushed Liu Zheng to walk out, and couldn't help laughing, "Let's go, let's go, children's posture." I'll take care of Xiaoxue. After a while, I will ask Qinghe to call Xiaolang over, as a teacher, it is no problem to teach some words...... Oh, and Sun Li, have you seen it? Ever since the boy learned that his father was suspicious of his mother, he had been eye-to-eyeing with his father every day. ”

She smiled, and didn't know what she thought, so she suddenly looked left and right, and whispered in her ear: "I almost forgot, brother and sister-in-law are actually ...... You know? That's right, dark lines. That's fine. I knew that Wei Mo probably explained it at the beginning, and they were afraid of accidents, saying that if there was an accident, they would ask the concubine to take over. Now the concubine doesn't know how far her brother has progressed, but since the husband knows, the concubine thinks that although it is not reasonable, the concubine can go into other people's rooms at night to check, and there are always clues...... Miss Zou had already discovered that there was no one in the thing, and there was the sun overhead, but the affairs of the thing changed with the day, and the arrangement was the same as that of the day...... Now that you are back, you must have a decision, after all, there are only a few people like Huo Nu and Zhao Li's brothers. ”

Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Geng Qiu Yi Qingli's still immature face, and suddenly hugged her, "You grow so fast, I can't catch up." ”

“…… The husband said that let the concubine take care of the house. After making mistakes in the past, the concubine wanted to be more mature, and it seemed that the husband was quite satisfied. ”

Geng Qiuyi's eyes turned even redder, sniffed, pushed Liu Zheng away and smiled, "Go ahead." You're out of ...... Now there are only concubines in the family, so it is harder. The husband has to work harder, and after keeping his filial piety and marrying Miss Xun, with that thing, Miss Xun is definitely a hundred times more powerful than the concubine, and the concubine can abdicate and do something she likes...... To be honest, I'm very tired, but I know that my husband lost that thing, and I'm even more tired. ”

Liu Zheng was moved: "In the past, I thought that beautiful women were exciting, but seeing you like this...... What more could you ask for. ”

……

A few steps out of the courtyard, someone suddenly spoke in the corner, Liu Zheng turned his head, and saw Ke Hai and a man wearing a black cloak and his face standing behind a pile of hay, looking left and right cautiously.

Looking at the wall behind the hay, Liu Zheng wondered why he was mysterious everywhere after he came back, and after walking over to confirm Ke Hai's "100" favorability, the three of them walked through the low wall hole to a clearing, Ke Hai made a silent movement, and after cleaning up the hay, he led the two to an abandoned warehouse.

Ke Hai closed the door and guarded outside, waiting for the man to reveal his true face, Liu Zheng was dumbfounded, then looked at the warehouse window door, and took a deep breath, "Are you ...... Zide?! ”

The memory related to this face is very long, and the other party has grown a lot, Liu Zheng is already a little unrecognizable, but the two people who are closely related to this young man, Liu Zheng was deeply impressed a few months ago, and it is not a problem to judge the other party by the outline at this time.

And after he asked, looking at the other party's bright smile, Liu Zheng also knew that he had not guessed wrong, the other party was Lu Zhi's second son, Lu Jian and Lu Zide!

"Brother Deran, don't come unharmed."

Lu Jian, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, handed over a piece of token at this time, and said with a smile: "I never thought that after many years of not seeing you, you would still recognize me." When I came from Luoyang, my father still told me a thousand times, but I was afraid that you and I would misunderstand him......"

Liu Zheng checked the token, it was indeed Lu Zhi's thing, and then he wondered: "How is the teacher?" Why didn't Bo Jue's brother Zhuojun Taishou send someone over? Also, do you know Brother Boju's brother in Zhuo County......"

Lu Jian raised his hand to interrupt and said with a smile: "Brother Deran can be in such a hurry, it can be seen that the master-apprentice relationship is deep, and when I go back to inform my father, my father will definitely be moved." You ask me slowly, let me ......"

"It's still so grinding, talking about business."

Liu Zheng said anxiously.

"This is what I said...... Okay, I'm down to business. ”

Seeing Liu Zheng's glare, Lu Jian smiled bitterly, and then looked left and right solemnly, and whispered: "I know that Brother Bo Jue's brother has looked for a few cousins who stayed here at home, but they avoided it...... My dad is fine! Don't worry! ”

"It's okay, there's a lot of nonsense, do you know the priority?"

Liu Zheng glared, and Lu Jian laughed dryly, "Priority, my father is fine, I naturally said the heaviest one, you won't guess?" You've really changed your temperament, so frizzy......"

"The heaviest? What happened to Brother Bo and the teacher? ”

Liu Zheng interrupted.

"I know that your master and apprentice classmates have a deep affection, but you should consider me. Is it that hard for me to finish? ”

Lu Jian rolled his eyes, saw Liu Zheng shut up, and said with satisfaction: "It's not that Brother Bo Qi has something to do with my father, it's that you have something to do, and it has something to do with Brother Bo Jue." ”

Liu Zheng frowned and was silent, his playful appearance made Lu Jian more and more satisfied, but his face was also condensed: "I also know something about you." After that, my father went back and offset the credit to intercede for your eagerness for success and profit, but I don't know where the news leaked, and I was stopped by the Zhongchang servant who knew the inside story. This is also said to be related to the anti-books...... Those anti-books made the saint furious, and also made the ten permanent servants restrain a lot. But it's a good idea...... This point has been remembered by the saint since the ten permanent servants, and Zhang let that old thing learn from death, saying that it is out of the scum of King Anping, and there are people like him, I am afraid that your heart will not change, so your affairs have been postponed for a long time...... But Zhang Rang's eunuchs were pardoned, and King Anping was also unjustly killed. ”

Liu Zheng frowned, "The matter of anti-book, the saint did not pursue it?" ”

So he collected some of his property, and let all his family members leave their posts and return to their hometowns...... The meaning of the saint is that Zhang Rang is his father, and he must keep filial piety and cannot be killed. ”

When he said this, Lu Jian's face sneered, "And after that, when my father mentioned your matter, he was stopped by the saint." said that he wanted to take care of the mood of the other two lieutenant generals, and he was almost greedy for credit by you, so he couldn't reward you. As for forgiveness, he avoids talking about it as forgiveness...... I didn't think you were a person, but then I was annoyed by my father, but I also let Zongzheng make a note of you. There are only two words, and the poem is good...... Do you understand the meaning of these two words? ”

"Poetry is good, but people are not good?"

Liu Zheng's face was gloomy.

"Hehe, you are also qualified to enter the office, ordinary people, only think this is a good word. But there are too many scheming people in the court, and my father also said that these two words are better for you not to ask for them, or his fault. ”

Lu Jian paused, frowned and said: "Later, the other two Zhonglang generals and even Liu Tingshi also interceded for you, saying that the merit was greater than the fault, and the saint was angry, so he named Brother Bo Jue Zhuojun Taishou, Brother Xuande from the original Guangzong Order to the court, became a Lang, even my brother, also went to the Yushitai as an assistant, but you He was really tired of listening to it later, so he said that he would not condone you in his lifetime, unless you have great merit...... But you can't get in, where can you have such a good opportunity? Dad said that the saint seemed to be impartial in handling the case, but he was also angry that they were ruthless in their anti-letter against the ten permanent servants, and stabbed him in the face, which was not considered to give him face, so he did it. ”

Liu Zheng felt that there was a fire burning in his chest and abdomen, "When my brother becomes a speaker, he is blocking the mouths of Liu Tingshi and the other Han clan relatives." Brother Zizhang entered the Yushitai to let the teacher know how much the saint valued him. Brother Bo Qi has become the Taishou of Zhuojun, and he can also help me, and the other two Zhonglang generals and even the others have no reason to speak again...... The saint is a good skill. ”

"Naturally, there is a skill. What's more, the art of trade-offs. As far as the saint and many ministers are concerned, it is good that my father's apprentices have a future, originally there were two, and now they are still two, as for who they are, where do they need attention. My father also knew that it was unfair to you, so he didn't want to send a letter to Brother Boju. ”

Lu Jian sighed, "What the Holy Lord said in the court is that my father is extraordinary, and the two Han clan relatives he taught are extraordinary, and I am afraid that Brother Bo Jue will not be bad, so he is too shou of Zhuojun." Judging from the bright side, if Brother Bo Jue had known, he would never have given up this opportunity. Now Brother Xuande and my brother have no choice, and they are forced by the Holy Lord to take office. But if even Brother Bo Qi takes office, who will remember you? It is because of this consideration, and as a teacher, it is impossible to block the disciple's career, so my father did not congratulate Brother Boju...... He wants to wait for the saint to be in a good mood on his day, and then fight for you to take some credit, if Brother Bo Jue takes office, you will not have any chance. ”

Liu Zheng's smile stiffened, "The teacher is too worried." When the saint is in a good mood, maybe he will remember me one day...... After all, those rewards are not mine. ”

"But my father failed to convince this time, and when the matter passed, he looked at his brother, Brother Xuande, and Brother Bo Jue in the future, where did he still have the face to say? Let all the disciples enter the court? What does this make the world think? Say that my father is actually anxious for justice and righteousness? The Ten Servants can wait. My dad gave up the credit this time to ask for a few openings, and he ...... Scold. ”

“…… That is, am I really broken? ”

Liu Zheng clenched his fists, and his body trembled.

"My father said, the other two Zhonglang generals are still in love. Many people also remember you. This time, the news of the court's reward for meritorious deeds has not been heard for a long time, and I want to operate your affairs again. It's just that...... A long shot. And now, they are also going to start dealing with the eunuchs, and my father may not be able to protect himself, and I am afraid that this matter will end in nothing. ”

Liu Zheng took a deep breath, "Does the teacher still have anything to say?" Are you going or staying? ”

"No words. But he told me to stay. ”

Lu Jian laughed and arched his hand: "Lord, he still has to take care of it in the future." ”

"A must!"

Liu Zheng glanced at Lu Jian's "45" favorability, nodded, then opened the door, gritted his teeth and said, "Ke Hai, inform Zidu, let Brother Bo Jue take office as soon as possible!" ”

He turned his head to look at Lu Jian again, and then clenched his fists and squeezed out the words from between his teeth, "Inform Brother Li again and find ...... for me Sheet! Long! Yes! ”
