Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan said goodbye, looked at Liu Xiu who was left behind, and had mixed feelings in his heart, he glanced at Liu Xiu apologetically, and walked out of the courtyard with his head down. Although Gongsun Zhan was still a little excited, he still noticed Liu Bei's uneasiness, and he smiled slightly: "Xuande, are you worried about your eldest brother?" ”

Liu Bei laughed dryly in a depressed mood: "It's all my fault for being angry for a while, and it affected the eldest brother." ”

"You don't have to be so nervous." Gongsun Chan smiled mysteriously: "I dare to guarantee that your eldest brother will be fine, maybe there will be some opportunities that you and I dare not think of." ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, raised his head and glanced at Gongsun Zhan, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, but some believed, and his originally somewhat dull eyes also moved a little smarter, he thought about it and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then it's even better, so that I don't always feel uneasy." ”

Gongsun Chan wanted to speak and stopped, and when he was about to walk to the door of the dormitory, he suddenly said: "Xuande, Mr. has already seen us, presumably he won't be teaching today, I want to go outside to see the scenery of this Peach Valley, are you interested in accompanying me?" “

Liu Bei rolled his eyes and readily agreed. The two of them walked out of the house, walked along the peach forest for a while, and walked dozens of steps along the peach creek, and saw that there was no one around, so they stopped and found a stone by the stream to sit down. Gongsun Zhan tilted his head to look at Liu Bei, and said with a smile: "Xuande, what kind of person was your eldest brother before?" ”

Liu Bei did not answer him immediately, but casually picked up a small pebble from the ground and threw it into the water, quietly looking at the rippling water and peach petals of the peach stream, and said after a while: "I told you before, he is in good health, has great strength, and is unstoppable in fights. However, I also told you that he didn't have a good brain, and he was a little stupid, but now that I think about it...... That doesn't seem right. ”

Gongsun Chan called Liu Bei outside to inquire about Liu Xiu's affairs carefully. Liu Bei told him that Liu Xiu has some bravery, but he doesn't like to read, and he is the kind of stupid man with a relatively simple mind, but judging from the short day of communication, he feels that there is something wrong with Liu Bei's statement. Although Liu Xiu's reading is really not good, his eyes are bright and he speaks freely, not only does he not feel a little stupid, but on the contrary, it makes people think that he is a little cunning, and he is vague about the beautiful calligraphy, which makes Gongsun Chan inevitably a little suspicious.

Hearing Liu Bei say this, Gongsun Zhan trusted his judgment even more, and he quietly listened to Liu Bei.

"Actually, my eldest brother didn't seem to be stupid, I remember my mother said, the eldest brother is faster than most children when he reads, and he doesn't dare to say that he can recite it, and he is much faster than others, but he really doesn't like to read, whether it is "Cangjie Chapter" or "Urgent Chapter", he didn't finish reading, and later learned "Analects" and "Filial Piety" when he was even more so, but when he saw the book, he had a headache, but it was a later thing, it seemed to ...... It seems to have something to do with his Aweng. “

"His Aon?" Gongsun Chan was even more curious.

"Because he didn't work hard to study, he was beaten several times by his Ah Weng, but not only did he not correct it, but it became more serious, and he deliberately treated his anger with Ah Weng." Liu Bei seemed to be talking to himself, and said while thinking: "Later, he Ah Weng will be disappointed, always saying that he is useless, and he will be a waste in the future, saying that he is not as good as me, and then ...... That's it. ”

"He's probably in a hurry." Gongsun Chan was relieved, "Parents always hope that their children can study and have a good life, in fact, in my opinion, what does it matter if they read or not? With your eldest brother's good body, even if you don't study, you can earn some military merits in the future. ”

"It's a pity that although Emperor Gaozu said that 'if you don't merit, you can't be a marquis, and it's better to make an appointment with the world to fight together', but even if I have military merits now, it is not as easy as those who read to become a marquis. The daughter of the widow is better than a warp. Liu Bei sighed, kicked a small stone into the water with his foot, and splashed a splash with a "pop".

"It's not, even if it's a military feat like Captain Duan, you have to be attached to a eunuch to be a captain, but those scholars who haven't even killed a person will not leave the position of the third prince when they turn around." Gongsun Chan also sighed in the same way: "From this point of view, it's no wonder that Deran's Ah Weng is so anxious, it's just a pity that ......."

Liu Bei smiled silently, did not answer, and looked at the undulating mountains in the distance in a daze.

Lu Min explained the situation to Liu Xiu and asked for his opinion, Liu Xiu was overjoyed, of course, he couldn't ask for it, and immediately responded. Although being a scribe does not mean that you fall in love with Lu Zhi, it is a good opportunity after all. On the first day of coming to the house, there was such progress, which had exceeded his expectations, and there was still the possibility of dissatisfaction.

Lu Min was also very happy to see him respond, and asked him about his studies. Liu Xiu didn't dare to brag at this point, for fear of revealing flaws, so he only dared to say it lower, almost saying that he was illiterate who couldn't read a word. In fact, although he has not worked ancient characters, he is no stranger to seal scripts because of calligraphy and seal carving.

The two talked for a while, and Lu Min asked Liu Xiu to go back and make some preparations, go to see Lu Zhi by himself, and tell Lu Zhi the situation introduced by Gongsun Chan just now. Lu Zhi listened, was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Zixing, you help me prepare a letter and tell Cai Bojiao and Yang Boxian about the situation here, the court and the family can't get along, I'm worried that it will turn to the conquest again, and most of the things in charge of the border counties in the DPRK and China are not clear, not to mention those eunuchs around Your Majesty, in case there is a fluke mentality, I am afraid that something big will happen." ”

Lu Min didn't dare to slack off, and nodded again and again.

Lu Zhi said again: "You send someone to the city and tell Li Ding what Gongsun Chan said, he has some friendship with Lord Thorn Shi and Lord Taishou, so he must have the opportunity to speak." Although Zhuojun is far from the border, it is not far away, and it is always good to prepare early. ”

"Whoa." Lu Min bowed down again, and saw that Lu Zhi had no other words, so he got up and went to the side to prepare the book, and after writing it, he handed it to Lu Zhi to read, and Lu Zhi changed a few words, so he asked him to come out to find Liu Xiu, let Liu Xiu transcribe it, and then he took it to Zhuo County, and sent it to Luoyang by official mail.

Liu Xiu heard that it was a book sent to Cai Yong, so he didn't dare to be careless, and according to Lu Min's request, he wrote it out in a neat official letter, and carefully checked it twice, and then handed it over to Lu Min for collection. Lu Min took him to the study, taught him to tie a wooden tablet with a thin rope, fill it with green clay, and then print Lu Zhi's private seal, and then rushed to Zhuo County.

Lu Min went to do something, there was no possibility of teaching for a while, and Lu Zhi did not immediately arrange the task of copying, so Liu Xiu returned to the dormitory, took out the book and slip brought by Liu Bei, and started his homework. Soon, Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei came back, as soon as they entered the door, Liu Bei took a closer look at Liu Xiu's face, and saw that his face was normal, and he didn't have yesterday's anger at all, so he let go of his heart, and gave Gongsun Chan an admiring look, and said happily to Liu Xiu: "Big brother, what did Mr. Xiao say to you?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I have time to copy the article for my husband." Liu Xiu said lightly.

"What?" Liu Bei was taken aback, and then showed a look of envy: "You want to study next to Lu Jun?" ”

Liu Xiu shook his head again and again: "It's not reading, it's just copying and writing." ”

"Shaft." Gongsun Chan couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Although it is just copying, being the first to see the manuscript of the article written by Mr. himself is a hundred times better than listening to Mr. speak." Your shaft is really like a mountain, and you can't stop it. ”
