The work is on the right track, Liu Yong is idle, exercise for a while every day, and then check the progress of the project around, play chess with the Qiao sisters, take a sneaky look at the beauties to nourish their eyes, and then wander around the village inside and outside the village, learn about the local customs, talk about farm work, and be very comfortable.

Liu Yong scoffed at the so-called hierarchical concept, "If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher; Choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good", this is the famous saying of Confucius and Liu Yong's motto, so he went from house to house, weeding with the farmer for a while, brushing the horse with the groom for a while, raising flowers with the gardener for a while, and going to the kitchen for a while, chatting with them from time to time for a while, joking for a while, and telling stories. He has an easy-going personality and no sense of hierarchy, and when he sees those older than him, he is respectful, and his uncles and aunts are sweet; When I saw someone of the same age as myself, my brothers and sisters called politely. At first, everyone was shocked to hear him call him so, and they didn't dare to respond, but later they saw that he was sincere, had no arrogance, and had a good temper, and they all liked him. Everyone gets along like a family, and they are happy, where there is Liu Yong, there will be a lot of people, and where there is Liu Yong, it will be full of laughter.
Life in ancient times was actually very boring. The poor people have worked hard for a day, and their bones are almost scattered, and they only want to rest early, so that they will have the strength to continue working tomorrow; Even if the family background is better, the black light is blind, and unlike modern people who have these entertainment methods such as fighting landlords, playing mahjong, going to bars, etc., in addition to occasionally listening to dramas during the New Year, what else is there to be fun? Therefore, everyone goes to bed early, but now the people of the Qiao family have one more way to entertain, that is, to listen to Liu Yong's storytelling.
How can Liu Yong's insight be compared to these villagers who have lived in a small circle for generations and have never read or written? Liu Yong casually told a strange anecdote that could make the men and women, old and young in the village stunned, of course, their favorite is to listen to Liu Yong's legends of gods and ghosts, foxes and monsters. At first, he was just a subordinate and Zhuang Ding in the outer court, but later even the stewards and girls in the inner court came to listen. Now, at nightfall, everyone gathers together, listens to Liu Gongzi's storytelling, and then goes home to sleep has become the greatest enjoyment of these people. That scene was just like Liu Yong's life when he was a child, there was no TV, let alone the Internet, a few friends got together, or several families gathered together, staying by the radio and listening attentively to Liu Lanfang and Yuan Kuocheng's commentary.
As soon as Xiao Qiao finished bathing, the little girl Siqing helped to comb it, and she heard the chaotic footsteps outside, and several little girls hurriedly ran through the window, "Siqing, let's go first." Hurry up! ”
"I'll have a little more to do for me, and you guys will help me get a seat."
"What the hell are you guys doing? What are these girls running like crazy? Xiao Qiao frowned.
"They all went to the front yard to listen to Liu Gongzi's story."
"Storytelling. What is storytelling? ”
"It's really storytelling. It's just that this story is very long, and only one paragraph is told every day, and I heard Liu Gongzi say that this is called storytelling. ”
"Isn't it just storytelling, it's worth these girls to be in a hurry like this?"
"Second Miss, you don't know, there are many people who listen to Liu Gongzi's storytelling, and if you go late, you can only stay outside, so you may not be able to hear clearly."
"Is it really that good? Worth listening to so many people? ”
"Second Miss, Liu Gongzi, the story he told is very good, it makes us worry for a while, makes us excited for a while, makes us sad for a while, makes us happy for a while, and he learns the people in the story to speak, the voice and tone are very good, we listen to it as if we are entering the story. It's just a little bit bad. ”
"What's bad?" Little Joe was also a little curious.
"Every time I get to the key place. He took a piece of wood and slapped it on the table, saying, 'Know what is going on, and listen to the next decomposition,' which made our hearts itch and we couldn't guess for a long time, as if a kitten was scratching. We have whetted our appetites, and we have to say it the next day. Siqing said angrily.
Xiao Qiao smiled lightly and said, "This Brother Liu is really bad enough." But he still gave you the answer, but it was a day too late. ”
"Second Miss, you don't know, at the end of the second day, Liu Gongzi will leave another buckle and continue to make you want to stop."
Xiao Qiao snorted and said, "It's really too bad." By the way, what's the story he's talking about? ”
"Liu Gongzi is telling the story of Emperor Guangwu, the founding emperor of this dynasty. Yesterday was about the great victory of Kunyang, Emperor Guangwu led 3,000 loyal and brave subordinates to defeat Wang Mang's army of more than 400,000 people, and made great contributions, but his brother was killed by Emperor Gengshi, and he could only respectfully obey his enemies, and did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction, so he could only face his wife at night and secretly shed tears...... "The little girl has sharp teeth and sharp teeth, and she has learned well."
"I know a little bit about this story, and it's really interesting."
"Liu Gongzi can hear it better."
"Is it really that good?" Xiao Qiao's heart moved.
"Second Miss will know if you listen to it."
"I'm not going. It's dirty, it's night, how can I go? If my father found out, he would have scolded me to death. Xiao Qiao really wanted to see it, but he didn't dare, so he paused for a while and said, "Why don't we go and invite Brother Liu in to tell us." You don't have to run around. ”
"Liu Gongzi is afraid that he will not do it."
"Why?"
"There are so many people waiting there, and it is not easy for Liu Gongzi to leave. And Liu Gongzi seems to like chatting with them. ”
"What then?" Xiao Qiao is a hundred hearts to go, but he doesn't dare.
"Second Miss, you just cover your face with a veil. It's not very bright there, and everyone is paying attention to Liu Gongzi, who would have thought that the second miss was also there? Siqing was agitated for a while.
"I'll change into your outfit, it's safer." Xiao Qiao finally made up his mind, "Let's go secretly, don't let my sister know." ”
"Okay. Second Miss! Siqing snickered in her heart, and waited for Xiao Qiao to change into her clothes and sneak out.
In the room, Da Qiao was embroidering a purse while watching Dong Yun learn to write, and suddenly frowned and said, "Why did Qian'er bathe for so long today?" That's not usually the case. ”
Dong Yun smiled: "I'm afraid it's a game with the girls." ”
Da Qiao also smiled: "I'm afraid not." There was no movement at all, and the girls didn't know where to go. Regardless of her, we do ours. ”
After a while, there was a sound of chirping, Xiao Qiao and the maids returned, and everyone discussed as they walked.
"I don't know if Emperor Guangwu will marry Guo Shengtong?"
"I think I'll get married. Emperor Guangwu has so many people, and if he marries Guo Shengtong, his strength will increase a lot. ”
"I don't think I'll marry. His relationship with Yin Lihua was so deep...... "A few little girls, you argued with me word by word." Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao have a gentle temperament, and they regard the girls who serve them as sisters, so these girls are not afraid of the two sisters, and they have no scruples about speaking.
"Qian'er, what are you talking about?"
"What about the story I listened to today. tells the story of how Emperor Guangwu of this dynasty raised troops to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. ”
"Who did you listen to?"
"Liu Gongzi!" A little girl said.
"Brother Liu has come in?" Dong Yun asked in surprise.
"It's night. How did Liu Gongzi come in, he said it in the front yard. ”
"What!" Da Qiao was annoyed, "Then you went to the front yard?" Qian'er, you are a young lady, how can you go to the front yard at will regardless of your identity, and are there any rules? Siqing, you instigated it, right? ”
"It's none of their business, it's for me to hear them tell the story, and I'm going to go myself." Xiao Qiao hurriedly replied, walked over and grabbed Da Qiao's arm and shook it, "Sister, don't be angry, just spare me this time." Besides, no one knows I've been there. ”
"You're such a fool! You......" Da Qiao was very fond of this sister, and said half reproachfully: "How can we women go to those places, not to mention that you are still a young lady." ”
"Got it, my good sister." Little Joe turned his head and stuck out his tongue at the girls. It's okay! Zhong Yahuan smiled secretly in her heart, but she didn't dare to have any expression on her face.
"That's right! What's interesting? Let's hear it. Da Qiao was also a little curious.
"Today is the story of Emperor Guangwu bidding farewell to his new wife Yin Lihua and taking the initiative to invite Ying to Hebei to pacify the Red Eyebrow Army. I don't understand, why didn't Emperor Guangwu take Yin Lihua with him? That way there will be no follow-up. ”
"What's not to understand about this?" Xiao Qiao is extremely smart, and said on the side, "Emperor Guangwu has made such a great contribution, this is called high merit, and the most jealous." It was because of this that his brother was killed by the first emperor Liu Xuan, who had no ability. Therefore, leaving Liu Xuan is to protect himself. However, only by leaving Yin Lihua as a hostage can Liu Xuan feel at ease. However, Emperor Guangwu lacked soldiers and major generals, and there was no food and grass, so he had to ask Liu Yang, the king of Zhending, for help and borrow troops and food. ”
"Did you borrow it?" Dong Yun also became interested.
Liu Yang agreed to borrow, but put forward one condition. First, the two families had to sign an alliance, and Emperor Guangwu had to marry his niece Guo Shengtong as his wife. Xiao Qiao imitated Liu Yong's tone and learned it, not to mention, it was really a little similar. Xiao Qiao said faintly: "I just don't know if Emperor Guangwu married Guo Shengtong or not, and what the story will be in the future." ”
"What's the use of you thinking like this, don't you know if you ask Brother Liu?" Dong Yun is also becoming more and more interested.
"Liu Gongzi refused. He won't say it tomorrow, what is it called...... Suspense. In fact, it is appetizing and unstoppable. ”
"I'm going to invite Brother Liu in." Dong Yun volunteered, and Xiao Qiao and the girls cheered.
"Be quiet." Da Qiao smiled bitterly, and couldn't stop it, "You go and ask Liu Gongzi to be more secretive, don't wake up your father." ”
Dong Yun said "I know", and went to the east chamber to invite Liu Yong in. Liu Yong, a modern person, neither understood nor wanted to abide by the ancient defense of men and women, so he followed Dong Yun into the backyard. But people come in, but they don't want to tell the story that happens next.
"Because I'm going to tell the big guys, I have to talk about it tomorrow." Liu explained.
"It's all subordinates, why wait for them." Little Joe said.
Dong Yun and Da Qiao's hearts tightened, and they secretly said that it was going to be bad, and sure enough, Liu Yong said angrily, "What's wrong with the subordinate, the subordinate is not a human?" Without their hard work, how would you have food and clothing? Aren't you just reincarnated in a good family? ”
Xiao Qiao regretted it as soon as she spoke, hearing Liu Yong scold her so harshly, she has grown so big, no one has said it in this tone, how can she be a little girl, her little mouth pouted, and she cried out with a "wow".
Da Qiao hugged Xiao Qiao, stroked his back, comforted him for a while, and said to Liu Yong: "Brother Liu, Qian'er is not usually like this, but today she is a little anxious, don't blame her." ”
Liu Yong was also angry for a while, and blamed himself for a while, she was just a little girl, she was still underage, why did I have such a big temper, and I was busy laughing: "I'm also anxious, and my tone is too heavy." ”
"It's not just that the tone is too heavy, but you also scolded me." Little Joe sobbed, a little reluctant.
"It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. I confessed to the second lady. Liu Yong has been making a lot of mistakes, and she can't see a woman crying in her life, let alone such a beautiful girl?
Da Qiao and Dong Yun looked at each other and smiled, and Da Qiao said: "Qian'er, Brother Liu also accompanied the ceremony, and besides, if you are at fault first, don't hold on to this matter." ”
"Okay." Little Joe stopped crying, "However, you have to compensate me." ”
