Li Qin said that he had eaten, but Jia's father had to accompany him to drink, so Li Qin had to accompany him, and the four of them sat on a broken wooden couch, around a low table with missing legs that could only be cushioned with stones, and ate wine and meat.

Li Qin took a sip of wine and frowned, he didn't drink when he was at Liu Sheng's house, but now that he drinks it, he feels that this wine is really called "water wine", it is really as light as water, and the color of the wine is turbid, and it looks quite bad to him.

But Jia's father drank happily, the more he drank, the more he was happy, and he kept boasting about how beautiful his Jia family was before, and how promising his son Jia Xu was.

In addition to the sleeves of this song and dance, there is no other dance skills, which is extremely ugly. Directly stunned Li Qin, Li Jia didn't dare to raise his head, and Jia's mother said vigorously: "This old man, there is nothing to do when he is not drinking, as long as he gets drunk, he starts to play drunkard, he really has no good life!" ”

Li Qin said: "What my aunt said is bad, when my brother-in-law returns to his hometown, my uncle will be Mrs. Jia, so I can say that my son is behind!" ”

After Jia's father finished singing and dancing, he climbed onto the couch and said with a smile: "Li Lang is still knowledgeable, and a good man with wine and meat like this is still behind." Come, have a drink with Ben Taigong! ”

Mother Jia snorted and said, "It's still too duke, don't forget your surname is Jia, even if it's too duke, it's a fake duke!" ”

Li Qin and Jia's father laughed, and Li Jia couldn't help laughing. This meal was extremely happy, and after the meal, Li Qin slept in the hall, and Li Jia gave him the futon that Jia Xu had covered when he was at home, and he slept comfortably.

The next day, Li Qin got up early, helped Li Jia chop wood and carry water, and climbed up the roof along the ladder, added thatch, and did some repair work.

He worked until almost noon, when Li Qin was about to get down from the roof, but because he was standing tall, he saw a lot of people coming noisily outside the alley, and he still drove the sheep, but the leader was Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng saw Li Qin on the roof outside the alley, and shouted loudly: "Brother, why did you go to the house?" ”

Li Qin grabbed a handful of thatch and shouted, "Mend the roof!" ”

Liu Sheng got off his horse and led the horse into the alley, and the servants behind him, driving a herd of bleating sheep, also followed. Li Qin hurriedly got down from the roof and ran to open the door.

Liu Sheng handed over the reins to the servant, and said with a smile after entering the hospital: "Brother is so diligent. For my brother, I came today to tell my brother that Huo Tan's illness was cured. ”

Li Qin looked up at the sky and said, "It's not just past noon, the illness is cured?" ”

Liu Sheng said: "Actually, it was fine last night, I squatted in the horse circle for a night, always observing, this morning I decocted the medicine by hand, and the symptoms of the charcoal before going out have almost disappeared. ”

Li Qin said: "Since the symptoms have disappeared, the medicine can no longer be taken." By the way, Brother Liu is here to tell his brother this? "I guess I came to the door in person to thank you and give a gift!

Liu Sheng was about to speak, but when he saw Jia's father walking out of the house, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "This is Jia Weng, under Liu Sheng, I will give Jia Weng a salute." He didn't know Father Jia at all before, but he had inquired before he came, and out of gratitude to Li Qin, he also gave Father Jia a salute by the way.

Jia's father was overjoyed, Liu Sheng was not only the richest businessman in Fuping, but also the patriarch of Daliangqiang, and he was the most popular in this county except for the county order, and even the county order had to give him three points. Now such a person actually came to the door in person and saluted himself, what a face!

He hurriedly returned the salute, it can be seen that Liu Sheng only said hello, then ignored himself, and was quite disappointed, looked back, and saw that his old wife and daughter-in-law were hiding in the house, he sighed softly, remembering that Jia Xu is here, when will his son come back, so that he can really be beautiful!

Liu Sheng smiled at Li Qin and said, "Brother, thank you for coming this time...... No, if you are a brother, you can't say thank you, because the brother is here to see you, and the second is to ask for sin! ”

Li Qin sighed and said strangely: "Excuse me, where do you start?" ”

Liu Sheng said: "Since you and I are brothers, I should go to your house to meet Aunt Li Bo, but you also know that my brother can't leave now, and it will take a few days to go to visit, and I will treat the second elder slowly, do you think this is a sin, should I ask for a sin?" ”

Li Qin hurriedly said: "No, why bother!" ”

Liu Sheng said: "In order to plead guilty to the second elder, I specially brought a cart of wine and food, as well as twenty fat sheep, and the whole Fuping can no longer find the twenty-first such fat sheep, and this mount of mine ......" Pointing to the healthy horse he rode outside the courtyard, he said: "This horse is not as good as the coals, but it is also a good horse in a hundred, and the spleen surname is docile, the most suitable for riding." ”

This gift is really a bit too thick, and it can almost be called the whole belongings of a high-class family. Li Qin waved his hand and said: "No, no, such a generous gift, how can I receive it, brother?" ”

Liu Sheng said loudly: "Brother, what he said is outlandish, he shouldn't say it!" This is not a gift from me, but a thing for me to make amends to the second elder, how can you say that you will not accept it? If you don't accept it, you won't let the second elder forgive me, and you will look down on me! If you look down on me, I won't live, is there a well in the courtyard? I'm going to jump in! As he spoke, he was about to commit suicide by throwing himself into a well.

Li Qin laughed, grabbed Liu Sheng, and said, "Brother Liu, don't be like this, I'll take these things!" "When people come to give gifts, they don't accept them, so that everyone is going to jump into the well, even if they pretend to jump, it's not a word!

Liu Sheng became happy and said, "Brother, if there is anything missing at home, come to my brother's house to move, and mine will be yours." I'm glad you're here to move, but if you don't...... It's okay, I'll send it to you! ”

Li Qin's prescription is indifferent to himself, but to Liu Sheng, it is a priceless treasure. Liu Sheng couldn't think of how to repay him, he had already made up his mind in his heart, he would give whatever Li Qin wanted in the future, and this brother must hand it over!

After talking and laughing for a long time, Liu Sheng left the servants to take care of the sheep and the horses, and then said goodbye and went home. Li Qin checked the gifts, in addition to the healthy horses and the sheep, there were also a cart of things, not only the medicine he bought yesterday, but also hundreds of catties of dried meat, ten jars of fine wine, and even pickles and spices.

Let the servants take three jars of wine and some pickles, as well as half of the dried meat, and Li Qin gave them to Li Jia and left them for them to eat. The Jia family's work is almost done, and according to the plan, he should go home.

Out of the yard, Li Qin looked at the healthy horse, this horse's hair was black and shiny, although it was not as good as a sweaty horse, but it was indeed a good horse, but the horse's equipment was a little out of tune.

I saw a short rope on the left side of the black horse, with a small triangular stirrup tied to it, which seemed to be used to step on the horse, and the cowhide saddle was tightly tied with a leather pad, and there were two long strips of leather on both sides of the leather pad, and the lower end of the leather strip was knotted into a round set, from the appearance, it seemed to be a stirrup, but it can only be said to be the prototype of the stirrup, strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a leather stirrup, and there is still a big difference between the real stirrup.

Li Qin thought to himself: "Is the stirrup of the Han Dynasty like this?" What's going on, stirrups are such a simple thing, why don't people in this era use them? Or is it deliberately not used to show that the riding skills are superb? ”

Stepping into the triangular stirrups, Li Qin turned over and got on his horse. His riding skills are not high, and in modern times, he spent money to ride horses and take pictures, and he also ran a few miles upside down, but he can only be said to be able to ride, and it is not related to riding well. Fortunately, this black horse is the same as Liu Sheng said, with a docile temper, obediently let him ride, and does not move.

Seeing Li Qin sitting in the saddle, a servant came over and put a leather rope loop into Li Qin's feet. The servant asked, "Gongzi Li, are you going out of the city now?" ”

Li Qin hummed and said, "Go north, go to Fujiao Village." ”

The servant agreed again and again, and accompanied him on foot, while another servant caught up with the sheep, drove the cart, and followed Li Qin out of the city together.

Li Qin turned around and shouted, "Sister, Uncle Jia, Uncle Jia, I'll come to see you in a few days!" ”

Li Jia and Jia's mother waved at him together, but Jia's father hugged the wine jar and said loudly: "Next time you come, remember to bring wine, let's drink together, I will sing Guan Guan Ju dove ...... for you"

Li Qin quickly turned around and thought, "Pull you down!" ”

Out of the alley, turn onto the avenue, not far away, he heard the sound of footsteps behind, Li Qin looked back, and saw a large group of soldiers, full of hundreds, running over under the leadership of an officer.

The soldiers, each armed with spears, trotted with a whirl. The queue was quite loose, and the footsteps were even more chaotic, not at all like an army marching, and even some of the soldiers behind would step on the feet of the soldiers in front of them and step on their shoes, and from time to time some soldiers would stop to lift their shoes and shout a few times by the way.

Li Qin let the soldiers go to the side of the road and let the group of soldiers go first. He asked, "Are they going to fight, or are they going to act, what are they going to do?" ”

The servant on the horse's side said: "It's not time for a war yet, and it's not a show, they are going out of the city to collect taxes!" ”

Li Qinqi said: "To collect taxes, you have to send an army, and there are so many soldiers, whose taxes are collected, and you will eat a big household?" ”

The servant raised his head and said in surprise: "If you don't send an army, who is willing to pay the tax, even if the soldier comes to the door, he may not be able to bring the tax up!" ”

The servant who drove the car behind said: "As soon as the winter passes, the spring famine will come soon, and the Huns on the grassland will definitely come south to rob, and the official will raise military rations so that he can start a war with the Huns, and I heard that new soldiers will be recruited this year!" ”

The servant next to the horse snorted and said, "What are you recruiting new soldiers, I think it is to pull the strong man, take care of one meal a day, and then let the strong man work hard." I still refuse to do that meal, and I bluff people in a sparse way! ”

Li Qin looked at the army and thought, "It seems that they are going out of the north gate, not Fujiao Village, right?" The people in the village are so poor that they can't eat enough chaff, how can they afford to pay taxes! ”
