Liu Bei was pondering, recalling the details of the Yellow Turban Uprising, but a voice appeared arrogantly and interrupted his thoughts, "By the way, Ah Bei, do you remember what happened when you fell from the big mulberry tree in your house two years ago?" ”

Liu Bei looked up at Liu Min helplessly, this old man didn't know what he was doing at all - didn't you see me ruling the country in my head? But when the elder asked, he couldn't refuse to answer, so he wanted to open his mouth to answer this childish question.

However, Liu Min didn't mean to wait for Liu Bei's answer at all, and turned his head to Liu Hong after asking: "I'm afraid he has forgotten it, after all, he was still young at that time, but the old man still remembers this matter clearly, the little miracle doctor who woke up Ah Bei from a coma, or the old man, I personally recommended it." ”

Well, at this point, where can Liu Bei not understand, throwing bricks to attract jade, he is the brick.

After listening to Liu Min's words of invitation, Liu Hong immediately thanked him: "This matter is really thanks to Uncle Min, otherwise, now I am afraid that I have been separated from my own boy Yin and Yang." ”

After Liu Hong finished speaking, he gave Liu Bei another look, and Liu Bei also bowed to Liu Min in a witty manner, and said, "The kid thanks the elder for saving him again." ”

Liu Min was suddenly happy, his face was full of wrinkles and huddled together, like a blooming chrysanthemum, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "There is no need for this, they are all villagers, this little favor is really a matter of duty, and it should not be such a big gift." ”

"What a pompous acting." Liu Bei silently commented in his heart, saying that novels come from life, but life is sometimes far more bizarre, exaggerated, and interesting than novels.

However, I don't know how this old man will perform next, and how will he get to the point? Liu Bei was suddenly a little curious.

"Ugh." Liu Min shook his head and looked like he was looking back on the past: "I still remember that the little divine doctor surnamed Hua said to me at that time, 'Old man, which family is under the big mulberry tree in the east of your village?' I see that this tree pavilion is like a cover, and there will be nobles. And ask who you have in your family. ”

"I said to him at the time, 'You don't have to ask, the noble person must be the head of the family, Liu Hong and Liu Ziyi, who can be the chief bookkeeper in the county.'" Now it seems that it is true, it has only been a few years, Ziyi, you have become a county magistrate, and it must not be a distant thing to be transferred to other states to be a county magistrate in the future. ”

Liu Hong listened with a ruddy face, many times he knew it was fake, but he just liked to listen to it, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"If the people are praised, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

Liu Min seriously denied Liu Hong's humility: "Alas, how can you say it inaccurately? You must know that our Lou Sangting Liu family is not an ordinary family, but after King Jing of Zhongshan, there is a clan bloodline, I think, our sect is back to the Han family genealogy, and the heavy responsibility of the Marquis of Fuyang Chengting is still on you Ziyi. ”

Liu Hong sighed: "I'm afraid it's a difficult thing, after all, our sect has been drawing out a genealogy for a long time, and the Han family has its own system, 'If you are not the king of the Liu family, the world will attack it, and if you don't do anything about it, the world will punish it." 'Now in this peaceful and prosperous world, the Holy Son of Heaven is ruling with the arch down, everyone is in the dynasty, and the Haiyan River is clear, how can there be a chance for military merit and marquis? ”

Liu Bei listened to it on the side, the Son of Heaven, the peaceful and prosperous world, Haiyan Heqing, he was afraid that he was wearing the wrong era, the emperor of this dynasty was not called Liu Hong but Liu Heng (Emperor Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty)?

Liu Min had a straight face and said: "Because of this, Ziyi, you should have prepared early, find some people to help you, how can there be a person who can succeed since ancient times?" This outsider is unreliable, only his own neighbors can be relied on, and before Emperor Gaozu fought the world, he relied on the soldiers of Pei County. ”

After that, Liu Min suddenly made a sudden realization with an exaggerated expression: "By the way, Ziyi, I suddenly remembered something, is your senior brother Lu Zhi going to serve as the sacrificial wine of our county school?" ”

Liu Hong nodded and admitted the matter.

"That's good." Seeing Liu Hong nodding and admitting, Liu Min smiled and said: "Then I will raise a person, just to be a companion with Ah Bei in the county school, if you learn from it in the future, it is also good to be a retainer for Ah Bei, after all, this outsider is not as reliable as his own family." ”

"Dare to ask Uncle Min, which child do you want to lift?" Liu Hong couldn't help but ask.

Liu Min smiled and said: "It's Ah Bei's former playmate, Ah Xian's kid, I think that kid still has a smart energy, and the most important thing is that he is still very honest." ”

"By the way, do you remember this kid?" Liu Min said and turned his head to look at Liu Bei, Liu Bei nodded again and again, signaling him to remember, but his face twitched again, this Liu Xian is indeed his former playmate, but he also has an identity, it is the grandson of the old man Liu Min and Liu who is righteous and righteous in his words.

After a while, Liu Min just left with a smile, and two more people came out of the pavilion and saluted Liu Hong, these two people are the pavilion chief and the thief of Lousang Pavilion, among which the pavilion chief is a young man named Wang Yi, who is a Liangzhou Anding person, the ghost knows how a Liangzhou person ran to Youzhou to be the pavilion chief, however, it would be good for the children of the poor family to have an official position in these years, where can they ask for more; The thief is a native of Lousang, named Liu Guang, who is Liu Hong's cousin.

In fact, they had already discovered Liu Hong for a long time, but when they saw that the old man Liu Min was chattering endlessly, they had to hide behind the door of the pavilion and wait.

After talking to these two people, Liu Hong took his wife Wang, Liu Bei, and Liu Ping to the former residence under the big mulberry tree.

Pushing the door in, because no one has lived for a long time, the house seems a little disorderly, and it is covered with dust, Liu Hong frowned, this room has to be cleaned, but his wife is pregnant and naturally can't stand this choking dust and fog, so the main force of cleaning can only be himself, but Liu Hong really has no interest in cleaning in his heart.

Although the Confucian scholars of this era have not yet developed to the point of misinterpreting "the gentleman is far away from the kitchen" in the Song and Ming dynasties, the late Taiwei Chen Fan's righteous and awe-inspiring spirit of "the big husband should sweep the world and settle the house" is by no means unique to him.

was worried, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, Liu Hong was surprised, who would it be at this time?

"Xuande, go open the door."

Liu Bei nodded in response, then walked towards the door, lifted the deadbolt, revealing a small gap, and was about to look around, a fat hand squeezed in from the crack in the door and covered Liu Bei's head, accompanied by a sweet and greasy laughter: "Haha, this is Ah Bei, I am your third aunt, I also hugged you when you were a child." ”

Liu Bei looked up with difficulty under the pressure of his fat hand, only to see a middle-aged woman looking at him with a smile on her face, but the small eyeballs in her eye sockets made her smile look funny.

"Hello third aunt." Liu Bei shook off the giant hand above his head without moving, squeezed out a smile, and said reluctantly.

Then a series of chilly laughter rang out, and with this laughter, Liu Bei noticed that there were four or five women standing behind his so-called third aunt, who were trying to create a noisy atmosphere in front of Liu's house.

"Ah Bei, this kid, don't look at his age, he knows etiquette very well."

"Needless to say, I don't look at whose child it is."

"Yes, yes, Abi is a child of the county Cheng family."

“……”

There is such a famous saying in later generations, "A woman is equal to five hundred ducks", Liu Bei found that this sentence is not very correct, at least biased, because the development of things is spiraling, people will grow, there is no eternal person or thing, for example, Liu Bei's eyes are full of passion and talk about the aunt, by no means more than five hundred ducks.

"Hey, isn't this the sister of the Liu family?" A woman exclaimed in astonishment.

"Yes, it's the sister of the Liu family." A woman cried out, her voice full of joy.

"Hello sister."

“……”

Then like a tornado blowing, Liu Bei finally stabilized his crooked figure, looked back, and saw that his mother Wang actually came behind him, and at this moment he was surrounded by the women of these Lou Sang Pavilions in the center.

Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, these middle-aged aunts in Lou Sangting, he really couldn't hold it, but Liu Bei's face became strange, and his mother seemed to be enjoying it?

It can be seen that women are really a different species from men.

After sighing, Liu Bei walked to the house, he was really not used to such a scene, just walked to the door of the main hall but saw his father Liu Hong carrying a broom is coming out of the house, Liu Bei felt strange in his heart, this guest is coming, whether you like them or not, but at this time carrying a broom out, it is really quite rude, so I greeted for a while, and I did my best to "send off the guest" with the friendship of the landlord.

However, it stands to reason that my father is not such a "rude person". Thinking of this, Liu Bei simply didn't enter the house, just stood at the door, with great curiosity, to see what Liu Hong wanted.

Liu Hong was carrying a broom, and Shi Shiran had just taken two steps in the courtyard when he was discovered by the sharp-eyed Lou Sangting woman, and then there was an exclamation:

"Isn't this it, Lord Xiancheng?"

Then the women of Lou Sangting came to Liu Hong's side and made a noise.

Liu Hong smiled: "Don't make fun of me, they are all neighbors, why do you have to see outsiders like this?" Just call me by name. ”

"How can that work?"

"Yes, yes, although our Lou Sang Pavilion is not big, we also know how to be humble."

"That's right, Lord County, you can't mess with the etiquette."

Liu Hong smiled and said nothing, and after a while, he was drowned in the saliva of the group of Lou Sangting women, until the sharp-eyed woman screamed again:

"Lord Xiancheng, what are you doing with a broom?"

Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, finally got to the point, picked up the broom and said, "It's not a messy courtyard, come out and clean it." ”

"Ah, Lord Xiancheng, how can you do this?"

"yes, yes."

"Let's do this little work, how can you do this?"

"yes, yes, let's do it."

"This—" Liu Hong hesitated, "How can this be done?" ”

"Nothing, nothing."

"Yes, Lord Xiancheng, you have come from afar, you should take a good rest."

With the sound of gossiping, Liu Hong was robbed of the "clenched" broom in his hand by a woman, and the rest of the women also found some tools, no nonsense, and cleaned up like this.

Liu Hong saw that the matter had come to this point, and it was irreparable, so he had to give up his hand and say, "Then thank you." ”

"Nothing."

"It's out of the way."

The women of this group of Lou Sangting all waved their hands, indicating that they could not afford such a big gift from the county, and then they were busy cleaning.

Liu Bei silently came to Liu Hong's side, and looked up at Liu Hong silently, at this moment, there was only one thought in his heart:

"And this kind of operation?"
