Liu Xiu's eyebrows raised, anger and incomprehension flashed in his eyes, and then fell silent again. Until now, he still doesn't understand why his father Liu Yuanqi prefers Liu Bei so much, but he doesn't have a good impression of his son, just because Li Ding said that Liu Bei's face is good, and he can get ahead in the future? But now that Liu Bei's face has been broken, it is impossible to have any more prospects, why does Dad still have this expression of hatred for iron and steel?

This is the sorrow of "him", and it is also the sorrow of Liu Yuanqi, as a person who was once pinned on by his father, he knows what it is like for a man to treat his son like this, and from a certain point of view, he may be more sad than his son who is blamed.

Who doesn't want their son to be proud?

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu let out a long breath and said softly: "Ah Weng, I'...... Didn't fight with him. He raised his head, met Liu Yuanqi's somewhat surprised eyes, and said calmly: "Actually, those are all tactics taught to me by Wu Junhou." ”

"Wu Junhou? Tactics? Liu Yuanqi looked at the calm and calm Liu Xiu, stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a strange feeling. In the past, Liu Xiu couldn't listen to his criticism the most, every time he stalked his neck, either he was muffled, or he quarreled with him, and then the father and son broke up unhappily, never explained to him so quietly. What's more, the situation he said was different from what Li Ding and Liu Bei said, and he was able to defeat Yan Rou not because of hard work, but because of a premeditated tactic?

Liu Xiu told the story from beginning to end. He had never told anyone about this matter, including when Liu Bei asked, he only said lightly that Wu Junhou had instructed him.

Liu Yuanqi listened quietly, his face flushed with anger slowly regained his composure, he observed Liu Xiu while drinking wine, and a faint smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Moreover, for most of the month, I have read well." Liu Xiu smiled lightly and bowed: "Xuande also reported to the adults just now, I believe that among so many classmates in Peach Valley Elite House, there are not many harders than me." ”

As he spoke, he looked at his father's expression, a little nervous in his heart. His biggest worry now is how to face Liu Yuanqi, knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, if he has any flaws, he will definitely not be able to hide from his father's eyes, because even Liu Bei has already had some doubts about his performance these days, he recounted his heroic deeds in Peach Valley so enthusiastically in front of his father today, but he didn't have any good intentions. If Daddy is suspicious of his sudden change of surname and thinks that he has fallen for evil, it is a big joke.

These days, he tries not to have too much contact with others, and tries not to show the dew when it is not necessary, all for these, but he knows that paper can't contain fire, as long as he doesn't want to live like the stunned boy before, the changes will be discovered sooner or later, but if he can pass the dad's level, no matter how big the risk is, it will no longer be a problem.

Liu Yuanqi didn't speak for a long time, just drank the wine one after another, but his face had calmed down, and after a while, he said casually: "Xuande just said that you don't get along well with your classmates. If you want to do things in the county or even in the county in the future, these people will most likely be your colleagues, so why not take this opportunity to make good friends with them? ”

"They...... Few of them are genuinely studying. Seeing that Liu Yuanqi was not suspicious, Liu Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said respectfully: "Mr. is a famous Confucian, and a famous minister in the court, with such a good teacher, the opportunity is very rare, but they just want to borrow Mr.'s reputation and be satisfied with becoming a disciple, but they don't want to seize this rare opportunity to really ask Mr. for some knowledge, I think...... None of them will achieve anything, whether they make friends or not...... It doesn't matter. ”

Liu Yuanqi pursed his lips: "I didn't expect you to be quite arrogant, so tell me, what kind of achievements do you think you can have, can you not take these people in your eyes?" ”

Liu Xiu was silent for a moment, and said half-truthfully: "Mr. estimates that it is impossible to grow up in Zhuoxian, I want to go to Luoyang with him." ”

"Luoyang?" Liu Yuanqi's eyes tightened, his hand holding the wine glass froze for a moment, and soon regained his composure, and nodded lightly: "Luoyang has too much learning, if you want to do learning, of course it is better to go to Luoyang." Even if you don't do academics, it is indeed a good choice to travel in Beijing and open your eyes. He thought for a moment, raised his head and smiled: "Okay, although I don't believe that you can go to Luoyang to be of any use, but since you have this heart, I am very happy." ”

Liu Xiu also smiled. Whether it is that his father wants his son to be Jackie Chan, or he believes too much in Lu Zhi's ability to educate people, anyway, he has passed this level, and he doesn't have to be so weak in the future. As long as you leave Zhuo County, you will be able to leap with the sea and the sky will be high, and you will no longer have to worry about your identity.

Seeing Liu Xiu smiling happily, Liu Yuanqi was even happier, and he rarely smiled when he spoke: "Haven't you read "Shangshu" yet?" ”

As soon as Liu Xiu's heart disease was gone, his demeanor became calm. "Sir has been busy and has not had time to teach. I wanted to do some pre-study first, but unfortunately I couldn't find the book. The "Analects" and "Classic of Filial Piety" I read were brought by Xuande. ”

Liu Yuan pursed his lips and smiled: "Want to read?" You've really grown. Well, whether you really or you are here to make Lao Tzu happy, just like what I said last time, as long as you are willing to read, it is a good thing. He paused, then said, "Tell me, what do you want to read?" ”

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and thought seriously for a long time. Although he is now a student of Lu Zhi, he is not sure whether there is any other role in scripture besides entering the office, not to mention that in his opinion, these moral articles are only suitable for pedants to study, and I am afraid that they will not have much effect on surviving in troubled times, the most obvious example is that none of Cao Sun Liu, who later became the ruler of the Three Kingdoms, was a master of scripture. If you want students to have skills, you have to look for them in history.

"I want to read some history books."

"History books?" Liu Yuanqi's eyes flashed, and he asked rhetorically: "Isn't Shangshu a history book?" Lu Jun learned the ancient scriptures, and the ancient scriptures can be said that the six classics are all history. ”

"Those historical events are too far away, and the things of the three generations are of little use if you look at them." Liu Xiudao: "I want to know about the deeds of the famous generals of this dynasty, these people and things are closer to us, and the role of reference is greater." ”

Liu Yuanqi laughed out loud, and nodded again and again: "This is also a reason." If you want to talk about the history books of this dynasty, then there are only Taishi Gongshu and Ban Mengjian's books, and if they are closer, you have to go to Luoyang. If you can go to Luoyang with Lu Jun to study, you may have the opportunity to see it, but Zhuoxian County does not. ”

Liu Xiu thought for a while before he understood, Taishi Gongshu probably refers to historical records, and Ban Mengjianshu probably refers to Hanshu, speaking of which, at this time, there are really only these two historical books to read. He glanced at his father with some suspicion, and said goodbye to his usual homesick look, he really knew a lot.

"I'll do it." Seeing that his son really liked reading, Liu Yuanqi was in a good mood, and the smile on his face was more gentle, he waved his hand, signaling Liu Xiu, who had been sitting upright, to relax, took two sips of the wine glass, and suddenly said, "Do you still have pain between your chest and abdomen?" ”

"It hurts." Liu Xiu replied smoothly, and as soon as the words came out, he was taken aback. I haven't told anyone about my heartache, and I don't even know Liu Bei, who is closest to him, why does my father know, could it be that "I" had this problem before?

Liu Yuanqi looked at Liu Xiu, who was stunned, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with concern: "Does it hurt badly this time?" ”

Liu Xiu subconsciously stroked his chest, groaned for a moment, frowned, and said, "It hurts badly." "Ever since he defeated Yan Rou, he had a dull pain in his chest, and not only did it not lessen in the past two days, but it showed signs of getting worse, which really made him very uneasy.

"Ah Xiu, I didn't let you practice martial arts before, because I was afraid that you would be so brave and ruthless, and you would fight hard with others at every turn, and your heart would be unbearable when you fought hard." Liu Yuanqi took a breath, was silent for a moment, and persuaded bitterly: "It is said that you have great strength and are a good seedling for martial arts, but you were not good at studying before, I am worried that you have a body of martial arts, but in the end you gave your surname in vain, even if God takes care of you, you can survive from the sea of corpses and blood, and make war achievements, and in the end, you are still a despised martial artist?" ”

Liu Xiu nodded, he somewhat understood his father's good intentions. In this world, literature is heavy and military is light, and learning is the right way to enter the office, and only a person with a good martial arts may not be able to be promoted and make a fortune even if he is powerful on the battlefield. These days in Peach Valley, he heard a lot of classmates talk about this kind of thing, some people say this because they can worship under Lu Zhimen, and they don't have to carry a war knife to earn war merits, and some people want to join the army, but they are worried about a bad career in the future, such a psychology is in Gongsun Zhan, Mao Zong, and Liu Bei, but the degree is different.

"I'm glad you can learn now." Liu Yuanqi nodded with satisfaction: "You must know that you can achieve a great deal of success only if you have both civil and military skills." Reading is not a one-time job, but physical things cannot be delayed. I have a recipe for practicing qi here, and if you practice it according to it, it will surely relieve your heartache.

As he spoke, he took out a small piece of silk book from his arms, pushed it in front of Liu Xiu, and stopped in the air for a moment: "This is my family's ancestral heirloom, don't let outsiders know, can you remember?" ”

Liu Xiu was really taken aback this time, the emotional old Liu family still has such an heirloom, is it an internal strength? Listening to his father's tone, he seemed to have known that his body had a heartache problem, but because he refused to study, in order to prevent him from fighting bravely, he delayed his future, so he never passed on this line of qi to him.

This...... That's too ruthless, isn't it?

Liu Xiu nodded solemnly and hurriedly, I don't need to say this, I must not be able to say it to anyone.

Liu Yuanqi let go of his hand, Liu Xiu took the light silk silk like a heavy treasure, opened it and saw that there were several villains painted on it, and dense words were written next to it, which was similar to the legendary martial arts secrets.
