About half an hour later, the cleaning was completed, and the old Liu family's old house was renewed, and then these Lou Sangting women left without Liu Hong's "sincere" invitation to leave for dinner, and left with interest, but Liu Bei knew that they would come again sooner or later.

Because his wife Wang was pregnant, the responsibility of cooking eventually fell on Liu Hong, but he was not a professional after all, and for Liu Hong, cooking is really a long memory, the last time he cooked seemed to be when he was studying in Fufeng, so this meal was very sloppy, the people who made it scribbled, and the people who ate it scribbled.

Among them, Liu Bei couldn't help but want to complain about the bad craftsmanship of one or two fathers, but when he thought of his recent tragic experience, he felt that it was better to be cautious.

You see, setbacks and lessons always lead to growth.

After eating, Liu Hong solemnly educated Liu Bei and told him, "The people who descended from heaven must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and act chaotically......

So Liu Bei finally went to wash the dishes honestly, and when he cleaned up the stove room and went to rest, the others had already slept, and his father Liu Hong still snored slightly.

Perhaps, Lou Sangting is not far away from Zhuo County, it is not a difficult road, but the Liu family is not the dilapidated family of Lou Sangting.

When he woke up in the afternoon, the sun began to set in the west, and after washing up, Liu Hong led his family to the west end of the village, where the ancestral land of the Lousang Liu family, where all generations of ancestors were buried, including Liu Hong's father, Liu Xiong.

On the way, I met some neighbors of Lou Sangting from time to time, and they all greeted Liu Hong warmly and probed Liu Hong's style; Liu Hong responded with a smile, just talk about walking like this, and when he came to the tombs in the west, it was already dusk.

Looking at these countless tombs, Liu Bei suddenly had some strange thoughts in his heart, he thought, if a few croaking crows suddenly flew here, then this place is very suitable for making horror movies. This thought was just a flash, and Liu Bei thought of Su Shi's sentence "Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation." ”

This idea is not serious, this word is actually not very impressive, because this phrase is a generation of writers mourning their deceased wives and boasting of their deep affection, but Liu Bei is facing his own ancestors.

It's just that people always have a lot of thoughts in this place where life and death rotate - even if they are powerful and heroic in life, they will inevitably turn into a piece of loess after death, how can this not make people feel a lot of emotion?

Liu Bei gently looked up at his father who was leading the way in front of him, his expression was also complicated, but he didn't know what he was thinking?

Everyone turned around and came to a tomb that was obviously more spacious than the ordinary tomb, Liu Hong led his wife Wang, eldest son Liu Bei, and second son Liu Ping to kneel and bow, and then got up and made sacrifices, and then read the eulogy, to the effect that his father Liu Xiong should not worry, he is now living a good life, prosperous official luck, and many heirs, the old Liu family will definitely get better and better, please bless you.

A few days after the ancestor went home, as Liu Bei expected, there were more relatives who came to visit, and the women who came to help a few days ago were impressively in the ranks, followed by their respective husbands, the women were generous when they arrived, but the men were a little twisted, and some couldn't pull the meaning of going through the back door.

Most of them heard that Liu Hong was a county minister, and wanted Liu Hong to help him or his nephews find a job.

It was only with Confucius that he had it, and he sighed with emotion, "The boy is more harsh than the tiger".

The only two of them heard that the county school had been reopened, and Lu Zhi, who was known as a great Confucian, was taught, and they came over to rely on the relationship between Liu Hong and Lu Zhi to go through a back door and seek a slim future for their children.

One of these two people is Liu and Liu Yuanqi, the son of Uncle Liu Min, and he naturally came over to finalize Liu Hong's promise to his father that day; The other person is interesting, because this person has a holiday with Liu Hong, and his name is Liu Zun Liu Zijing.

Of course, it's just a holiday, not an enemy, otherwise he wouldn't be stupid enough to throw himself into the net, and from his mother's disapproving look when talking about it, Liu Bei deduced that this festival seems to be just a trivial matter, maybe it's a young man's spirit, no one is willing to admit defeat, and some festivals gradually accumulate into grudges, and gradually become irresolvable.

This is very possible, because what the Han Empire at this time advocated was "great revanchism", advocating the righteous act of "Xianggong Fu IX, and the Spring and Autumn Period", and since the time of Emperor Xiaowu, the Ram School has been in power, it has provided sufficient theoretical basis and legal support for this atmosphere, so the people of this era have multiple righteousness and light lives, and the grievances and grievances are clear.

However, on the one hand, the implementation of this kind of atmosphere has led to endless private killings among the people, and the so-called rangers and righteous men have disregarded the criminal law and wantonly killed people with their own hearts, which greatly damaged the majesty of the law.

On the other hand, this kind of atmosphere or theory is not misunderstood by ignorant teenagers, and supports them not to forget old hatreds (big farts); Either it will be misinterpreted by people who are already narrow-minded and become the basis for their cautious eyes.

Liu Bei thought that perhaps there may be an increasingly large local Haoqiang intentionally or unintentionally fueling the troubles, and the incident of "mentally ill hitting people and killing people" may not be the original creation of later generations, and the ancients were also very smart.

After sending off Liu Zun, who was grateful, the scene of Liu Hong's forgiveness of Liu Zijing quickly spread in Lou Sangting and caused a lot of sensation, and it was rumored to be a good talk for a while, gaining a reputation for Liu Hong's magnanimity.

This is of great benefit to Liu Hong, being an official is the threshold, and recommendation is the ticket, but after getting started, whether you can rise step by step depends on the size of your political achievements and fame, and of course, the depth of your background.

In the next few days, there were fewer people who came to visit the house, and on the afternoon of the day before returning to the county seat, Wang and Liu Ping went to sleep, while Liu Bei stood in the courtyard holding a roll of bamboo slips and watched, some things can not be faked, because in the end no one can deceive anyone, whether it is himself or others.

"Father?!" Liu Bei's voice was full of surprise, his neck was a little sore just now, and he raised his head slightly to move, but found that Liu Hong came to the courtyard at some point, looking at himself silently, and he didn't know how long he had been watching.

"When did you come?"

Liu Hong smiled, but did not answer Liu Bei's question, but said: "Xuande, you put down the book and come out with me, I have something to say to you, I will wait for you under the mulberry tree outside the house." ”

Although Liu Bei was full of doubts and puzzles, he obediently went back to the house, put down the book, and went out of the house.

Outside the house, the sunset is slanting, although there is no vigorous vitality of the rising sun, but "the red sun is gradually entering the ground, and the red glow is burning all over the sky" also has a unique charm.

Liu Hong stood under the big mulberry tree, his figure was stretched slender by the dusk, he stood with his hands in his hands, looked up at the sun, turned his back to Liu Bei, and did not say a word.

Seeing this, Liu Bei also stood silently, and the father and son were like two quaint stone sculptures

"Xuande, do you know that this is the first few years that our family has left Lou Sangting and settled in Zhuo County?"

After a long time, the voice sounded.

Liu Bei looked at Liu Hong in front of him, still standing with his hands in his hands, no different from before, as if the sentence just now was not what he said.

"It's the fifth year." Liu Bei replied in a low voice, he fell off the big mulberry tree in front of him in the ninth year of Xiping, because of this incident his father moved his family to the county seat of Zhuoxian, Xiping ten years in June, the then emperor Liu Zhi changed to Yuan Yongkang, and died in December of that year, and then ascended the throne today, changed to Yuan Jianning, this year is the third year - three years of Jianning.

Liu Hong's voice came from the front, full of emotion: "Yes, it's the fifth year, in the past five years, I have a full view of what you have done, although there is a little grotesque, but no matter how you talk about the article, it is far better than ordinary people." ”

"I was really happy in my heart, but as Uncle Ni said the day before, I thought that I had a unicorn." Speaking of this, Liu Hong was already infinitely melancholy.

Liu Bei became more and more silent, he was waiting for that but yet.

"Yet I'm worried about you, do you know why?" Liu Hong turned around slowly and looked directly at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei shook his head.

"Just because you are a solitary guest, Xuande, since you moved to Zhuo County, you have been studying the scriptures at home every day, rarely going out to play, for the father's heart is both happy and worried, happy that there is nothing in this world that is not earned for nothing, in terms of learning, it is necessary to work hard to achieve something! The worry is that you are lonely day by day, a few times, I took you to a colleague's house to play, and you were mostly holding a roll of bamboo slips, looking at it, quite a bit of outstanding bearing. ”

"But, as Uncle Min said a few days ago, how can there be such a thing as a single husband since ancient times? Jia Yi is versatile, hanging the king of Liang and declining; Xiang Wang Yongli, self-slaughtering on the bank of the Wujiang River, Xuande, do you know what I mean? ”

Liu Bei was silent, he was not a sociable character in his previous life, and in this life, he was naturally even less interested in facing those naïve children who seemed to be the same age as him.

"In a few days, the county school will start."

"And Liu Xian and Liu Liang's two boys will also accompany you, this is what I should come down, by the way, they will live in our house temporarily in the future."

Liu Hong said slowly, as if he was talking about something irlevant. With that, he walked away without the slightest hesitation.

The orange-red sunlight thus shone on Liu Bei again, Liu Bei stretched out his hand to block in front of him, he had been standing behind Liu Hong's shadow just now, but the sunlight was a little mild and dazzling.

At this moment, the sun has half set, and every time the sun sets, it is actually just to welcome the rising sun.

Under the sunset, Liu Bei was stunned.
