Liu Xiu glanced at him: "How about Mr. please write a few poems?" ”

Cai Yong pondered for a moment: "Yes, but you asked me to take these paintings back to see, I have to think about it." ”

"No problem." Liu Xiu readily agreed, and at the same time took out the sketches in Chang'an, as well as some manuscripts that had been prepared, and handed them to Zhang Fei and asked him to send them back to Cai Yong later. Cai Yong mentioned the intention at this time, and said very tactfully: "Deran, your teacher is the temper that Ning can't bend, he is not angry because he lost his office, but he is too aggrieved to lose his official position like this, you are quite close to the palace, do you want to find a way to accommodate him?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled bitterly: "How can I be accommodating? The people I know in the palace are either eunuchs or palace maids, none of them are Qingliu, and the Yuan family who can really speak is the one who has a black hand behind the scenes, I really want to be accommodating, but I'm afraid that Mr. will be even more angry. ”

Cai Yong also had a headache, Liu Xiu was right, it seemed that it was Yuan Yu who rectified Lu Zhi, but in fact, he didn't have to think about it to know that it was Yuan Kui's signal. Liu Xiuzhen wanted to find an official for Lu Zhi through the way of a eunuch, but Lu Zhi would not only not be grateful to him, but would be even more angry.

"Then you teachers and students are just consuming it?"

Liu Xiu was very unhappy with Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi is a good person, he is very upright and courageous, but this person is too pedantic, and it is not me who took action against you, what are you angry with me? Not to mention that I have merit in supporting your wife and children, even if I have no merit, I have no fault, why should I be angry with you? You really have the ability, go to Yuan Kui and Ma Lun's couple.

However, he didn't want to say these words to Cai Yong, so he had to say perfunctorily: "Sir, don't worry, when Mr. is angry, I have my own way." In the future, I will have more places to borrow Mr. Chong, how can I make jokes about the discord between teachers and students for people to see. ”

Cai Yong heard this, and then he felt a little more at ease.

…… In the distance, Luoyang City beat the drums of the opening of the market, and the low drum sound was very vague in the laughter of the customers downstairs, and it was almost imperceptible if you didn't listen carefully, or if you didn't hear well.

Liu Xiu opened his eyes, pulled over a large pillow and leaned against his back, looking at the rays of the morning sun that penetrated through the window. Since living in the Tai Chi Taoist Hall, he has finally lived a wonderful life of sleeping until he wakes up naturally. In terms of business, he has Shopkeeper Luo and Xiahou Yuan taking care of it, and he doesn't need to do it himself, he is now thinking about some big things.

For example, how to light another fire, so that those who are drunk and dreaming of death can realize the crisis hidden under the current prosperity.

I have already read the sample book of "Chang'an Zhi", there are articles written by Cai Yong himself, and there are plates drawn by him himself, of course, the quality is upper-class, but compared with "Luoyang Zhi", "Chang'an Zhi" is a little more depressed, a little heavier, and the entertainment surname is far less than "Luoyang Zhi", Bi Lan originally planned to change the way of cooperation, and after reading the sample book, he finally decided to follow the way of "Luoyang Zhi", he felt that the sales of this "Chang'an Zhi" may not be good.

Liu Xiu didn't plan to make any money with this book, what he wanted was a shock, seeing that the time had entered August, and today's exam was getting closer and closer, and there were already readers coming from all directions, and the foreshadowing of "Luoyang Zhi" had reached a certain scale, and the launch of "Chang'an Zhi" at this time had the effect of an alarm bell ringing.

In order to expand his influence, Liu Xiu decided to hold an event to grandly launch this "Chang'an Chronicles" like the launch of the new book of the Five Classics, and did everything possible to push his ideas in front of more people, even if it was worth losing some.

As for whether Lu Zhi expelled him from the division, he was not worried at all, as long as Lu Zhi was not crazy, he would not be so hysterical. He still wants to borrow Lu Zhi's knowledge in the future, and the reason why he is so tough and turns his face with Lu Zhi is because Lu Zhi's surname is too upright, if he doesn't hit him and make him realize the difficult status quo, it will not be easy for him to ask Lu Zhi to do something in the future.

"Bang", the door was pushed open, Tang Yingzi rushed in with a cloak, holding a thin quilt, barefoot, with pillow marks on his cheeks, quickly climbed onto Liu Xiu's bed, stepped over Liu Xiu's half-naked body, squeezed to the inside and lay down, naturally hugged Liu Xiu's waist, and then exhaled comfortably: "It's so cool!" ”

Xu Yu stood at the door embarrassedly, pointing at Tang Yingzi and then at himself, feeling extremely ashamed that such a powerful guard could not stop Tang Yingzi. Liu Xiu sighed helplessly, waved his hand, and motioned for Xu Yu to close the door and go out. Although Tang Yingzi is not proficient in martial arts, she is as flexible as a loach, although Xu Yu is very good at kung fu, she is not as flexible as her, and every time Tang Yingzi wants to stop the door, she fails.

Liu Xiu is also used to it, far from being panicked when Tang Yingzi broke into the door for the first time, that time he was almost naked, when Tang Yingzi broke into the door, he was more nervous than he was under Ningcheng to Xianbei people, and his first reaction was to pull the quilt to block his body, and he didn't have time to stop Tang Yingzi at all, and watched her occupy his bed.

"What's wrong again?" Liu Xiu patted Tang Yingzi's little buttocks: "You are not small anymore, why do you rush out with your bare ass every time." ”

"What's the matter, anyway, there's no one on the third floor at this time." Tang Yingzi said nonchalantly, stretched out a chubby little hand and picked the corners of his eyes, and then hugged Liu Xiu's waist tightly. "Aunt Luo got up too early, no one held me, and I couldn't sleep."

Liu Xiu knocked away Tang Yingzi's hand that was touching his chest, and scolded angrily: "Can you be honest? I'm not an aunt of the Luo family, and I don't have what you want. ”

Tang Yingzi was still a little confused, and after hearing Liu Xiu's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, smacked his lips, buried his head in Liu Xiu's arms again, and sighed very old-fashionedly: "It's a pity, things in the world are unsatisfactory, how good it would be if you two were alone." ”

Liu Xiu was speechless.

After Tang Yingzi moved to live in the Tai Chi Taoist Hall, Liu Xiu asked him to live with the shopkeeper Luo, who had not yet given birth to a child, and doted on Tang Yingzi in every way, and hugged her to sleep every day. Tang Yingzi quickly developed a bad problem, and every night he had to touch the plump ** of the shopkeeper Luo to fall asleep. Shopkeeper Luo was a little uncomfortable at first, and then he got used to it, but Liu Xiu was not used to it, every day before dawn, Shopkeeper Luo had to get up and arrange business, and it was impossible to sleep lazily with Tang Yingzi, so Tang Yingzi got into Liu Xiu's bed, and then used to touching Liu Xiu's chest, which made Liu Xiu very embarrassed. He said a few words to Tang Yingzi, but Tang Yingzi said in a heartfelt way that this was the case when she slept with Shopkeeper Luo, which reminded her of her grandma.

Liu Xiu then remembered that the little girl in front of him, who seemed to be happy every day as if living in honey, was a stray child, who was abducted at the age of two or three, and he couldn't even remember what his parents looked like, and he probably only had the impression of his grandmother's **. Shopkeeper Luo probably thought of this before tolerating her actions.

Liu Xiu doesn't have that organ, but he has an advantage, maybe because of the practice of hegemony, his body is warm in winter and cool in summer, even when it is the hottest, his body will not sweat, which makes Tang Yingzi very satisfied, after tasting the sweetness, he will come to disturb Liu Xiu every morning, sometimes it is so hot that he can't sleep at night, and he will break in at any time.

Liu Xiu's tragic discovery that in this era without air conditioning, he became a human body air conditioner.

"Big brother, why don't you get up and practice martial arts?" Tang Yingzi closed his eyes, and gossiped with Liu Xiu without a match: "Look at Brother Ayu, Brother Afei, and Brother Ayuan, they all get up before dawn to practice martial arts, and you are the laziest, and you get up the latest every day." ”

"Am I too late than you?" Liu Xiu asked angrily.

"I'm different." Tang Yingzi said without changing his face: "I am a child, I need to sleep more to grow my body." You're an adult, you should get up early and do things. ”

"Who did you listen to?" Liu Xiu couldn't cry or laugh, this little girl is not very old, and she knows a lot, and she actually knows that children's sleep is conducive to growing their bodies. It's not that he doesn't want to get up and practice martial arts, it's just that he's in trouble now. After Zhang Ming arrived in Luoyang, it didn't help him in his cultivation of the hegemony, he said that there was no such practice in the tuna technique he knew, and if he wanted to teach the advanced level of the tuna technique of the Taiping Dao, then Liu Xiu had to enter the Taiping Dao first, and Liu Xiu was unwilling. Later, Lan Lan reminded her intentionally or unintentionally, saying that no matter which one's breathing technique, it was just a technique, and the total technique was the Tao, and the Tao was in Lao Tzu's five thousand words. Liu Xiu had to read Lao Tzu's 5,000 words every day, trying to find inspiration from them, but looking at it, he only found the words "Rubbing the breath to be soft, and being able to be a baby" seemed to match, so he no longer cared about breathing, but only focused on making his breathing soft and slow, which was actually just a deep breath.

In this case, where does he still have any mind to practice boxing, Dunwu and Zhao Yun taught him martial arts, he has already practiced perfectly.

Tang Yingzi smiled, revealing the indescribable elf eccentricity, but refused to say anything, pulled Liu Xiu's arm around him in the middle, wrinkled his nose, and didn't know if she was asleep or not.

Liu Xiu didn't have the heart to talk to her, pulled the corner of the quilt over her stomach, and continued to think about the next book launch. The ten huge landscapes needed for the press conference have been prepared, five of Luoyang's pomp and five of Chang'an's dilapidation, one by one. He originally planned to use four pieces each, but Cai Yong said that the sky has five elements, people have five senses, and five is the yang, so it is better to use five, so he changed it to five.

Liu Xiu was confident that these ten landscapes could attract the attention of scholars and cause a certain sensation, but he was not sure how much effect they could cause. There are many truths, not only he can think of it, those powerful people are not stupid, they may not know what the result will be if this continues, but if you really want to cut your own flesh ruthlessly, it will not be easy.

Whether you can think of it is one thing, and whether you can do it is another. A giant in thought is not necessarily a giant in action, but a dwarf in action. Show talent, don't know books. Filial piety and honesty, the father does not live. Hansu is as white and turbid as mud, and Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken. There has been no shortage of rhetorical hypocrites these days.

It should be said that from ancient times to the present, there is no shortage of such hypocrites in the world who are sanctimonious on the surface, but who steal men and prostitutes behind their backs.

It is not easy to get a vested interest to give up his own interests, but perhaps it is more reliable to say that it is impossible. Although Liu Xiu wanted to use the mildest method to solve the current crisis, he never had the luxury of hoping to do it, and he never pinned all his hopes on the morality of the powerful.

One red heart, two preparations. However, Liu Xiu didn't want the second-hand preparation to come in handy from the bottom of his heart, for him personally, it might be a good choice, but for others, especially those ordinary people who just wanted to live, it would be a disaster.

It is up to people to plan things, it is up to heaven to make things happen, he has done what he should do, and in the end, it depends on whether God will give the big man a chance. If it really comes to that point, he will not shrink back, he knows very well what the sentence "God does not take, but suffers from it".

"Big brother, what would you do if someone wanted to kidnap me again?" Tang Yingzi suddenly moved, interrupting Liu Xiu's thoughts and asking an inexplicable word. Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said casually: "Then I will beat him so that he can't even recognize his grandma." ”

"Really?" Tang Yingzi opened her eyes, her long eyelashes flickering.

"Of course." Liu Xiu suddenly felt that something was wrong, this little girl didn't look like she was talking casually. Sure enough, before he could react, Tang Yingzi stretched out his little finger: "Let's pull the hook." ”

Liu Xiu hesitated, but Tang Yingzi stretched out his hand, picked up Liu Xiu's finger and hooked it, and then smiled proudly: "Man, big husband, talk to count." ”

"This ......" Liu Xiu smacked his lips and said with some worry: "I said Yingzi, who are you messing with?" ”

"No, I'm very well-behaved, how can I mess with others." Tang Yingzi shook his head solemnly, and after a while, he sighed resentfully: "Actually, it's because I'm too likable, so I got into trouble." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Liu Xiu sat up in fright. Tang Yingzi spends most of her time playing with the Queen Mother in the palace, and she is covered by the Queen Mother, and ordinary people may not be qualified to be provoked by her, but looking at her like this, it seems that the matter is quite serious.

Tang Yingzi glanced at him and said lightly, the eldest prince asked her to play with him every day, after Lu Zhi came back, they didn't enter the palace for a few days, the eldest prince cried and made trouble in the palace, no one wanted, He Guiren was anxious, and sent someone to let Tang Yingzi go to her palace as a palace maid to accompany the eldest prince. It's one thing to play with the eldest prince, it's another thing to be a palace maid and a professional escort, Tang Yingzi is unwilling, but he didn't dare to tell Lu Zhi, so he had to wait for Liu Xiu to come back. He Guiren didn't send anyone in the past two days, it was for the sake of the Queen Mother's face, once she got the news that Liu Xiu had returned to Luoyang, she would definitely come to beg for help again.

"What nobleman? The Great Prince? Liu Xiu smiled, "Isn't it good for you to go into the palace to accompany the eldest prince, maybe the eldest prince will be the prince in the future, you will be the crown princess, and you will have a chance to be the queen." ”

"I don't want to be a queen, it's not fun." Tang Yingzi's head shook like a rattle, "It's too stuffy in the palace, it's boring." She shook Liu Xiu's arm: "Big brother, you and I have hooked up, but you can't play tricks." ”

Liu Xiu was dizzy by her, and laughed and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I don't cheat, but what benefit do you give me?" ”

"What benefits do you want?" Tang Yingzi giggled and said, "Or, when I grow up, I'll marry you?" ”

"Poof!" Liu Xiu choked and coughed.

As Tang Yingzi expected, He Guiren quickly sent someone to ask Liu Xiu for Tang Yingzi, and it was not someone else who came, it was the new Henan Yin He Jin, the future uncle.

He Jin is of medium stature and looks very sturdy, and he has the confidence to kill pigs at a glance. Tuan Tuan had a gentle smile on his face, looked around at the ten landscapes that were hanging, and nodded his head again and again: "My sister often praises Liu Jun as a talent in front of the Son of Heaven, and I was a little unimpressed, but now it seems that my sister's vision is indeed higher than me." ”

Liu Xiu knew that he was a drunkard, and he didn't mean to drink, and he wasn't in the mood to talk nonsense with him, just smiled modestly and didn't say anything. When He Jin saw it, he was also a little embarrassed, so he concisely explained his intentions, the nobleman hoped that Liu Xiu would let Tang Yingzi enter the palace to accompany the eldest prince, no matter how much he paid, it was acceptable, and the He family was willing to make Liu Xiu a friend.

Liu Xiu was silent for a moment, and said embarrassedly, Yingzi is not from my family, I am not good at being her master, I can help you ask, if she is willing to enter the palace, then naturally there is nothing to say, if she is unwilling, then I can't help it.

He Jin sank his face and said with a threatening voice, this is a piece of kindness from a nobleman, please think twice. In addition, the matter of the eldest princess Yang Zhai last time, you still owe me a favor to the He family, should you also pay it back?

Liu Xiu smiled disappre一门ly, although the eldest princess of Yangzhai is also called Liu Xiu, she has nothing to do with me, Liu Xiu, you want to return the favor, go to her, don't look for me. As for the kindness of the nobles, I understand it in my heart, and I have the affection to make up for it, but I can't take a girl who has nothing to do with me to please the nobleman, which is unreasonable.

He Jin was really annoyed, he felt that Liu Xiu was too self-righteous, did he really think that no one dared to mess with you? The Yuan family doesn't mess with you, it's people who disdain it, you see that Yuan Kui just signaled, and Yuan Yu said lightly, your husband Lu Zhi's Lujiang Taishou is exempt, what other tricks do you have? Now that you have offended the Yuan family, you are an enemy of the inner and outer dynasties, is it a little too self-conscious to provoke the He family at this time, do you think it is useful to rely on the Song family, the Song queen has not even given birth to a daughter, and she has a mortal enmity with the eunuchs in the palace, she can be the queen for a few days, it is really impossible to say, at this time, the He family is showing favor to you, it is to give you a chance, you actually don't take it seriously?

Liu Xiu's anger at He Jin really didn't matter, since he wanted to help the Song family, he was ready to fight with the He family.

He Jin brushed his sleeves away, entered the palace to discuss with his sister, and soon turned around and went to the mansion of the Great Changqiu Cao Festival.
