Liu Bei had something in his heart, he couldn't swallow it, so he hurried back to the dormitory after eating, and saw Liu Xiu's case with pen and ink, but he didn't see his figure, and knew that it must have happened. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but regret it a little. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Liu Xiu inadvertently stealing his limelight in the past two days, after all, it was just a small emotion, and it had not yet reached the point of not sharing the sky, so he impulsively gave Liu Xiu a trick, if he made Mr. unhappy and drove Liu Xiu out directly, then the matter would be a big trouble.

Thinking that Liu Xiu might be kicked out of the house because of this, Liu Bei's heart became even more nervous, he couldn't sit or stand, like an ant on a hot pot. After a while, Gongsun Zhan also came back, and when he saw Liu Bei like this, he smiled: "Xuande, what are you worried about?" ”

Liu Bei laughed embarrassedly: "I was reckless for a while, and I may have affected my eldest brother." ”

Gongsun Chan blinked, looked at Liu Bei with a smile and said, "What, are you afraid that he will be kicked out?" ”

Liu Bei nodded and looked at Gongsun Zhan for help: "Brother Bo Jue, did you say it would?" ”

Gongsun Chan shook his head: "Probably not, Lu Jun is a righteous gentleman, not the kind of person with a small belly, so he won't embarrass your eldest brother for this little thing." Besides, although your eldest brother wrote a vulgar book, it is beautiful and beautiful, which is enough to make many people who are good at books ashamed. By the way, Xuande, doesn't he like to read, where did he learn calligraphy? ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know, I used to ...... I rarely read his writings. ”

Gongsun Chan tilted his head and thought about it, feeling more and more curious.

After a short time, Liu Xiu came back with a bitter face, and as soon as he entered the door, he glared at Liu Bei with some annoyance, and sat down in front of his bed angrily, holding his knees with his hands and being silent. When Liu Bei saw it, he was even more worried, and he leaned over with a smile and asked, "Big brother, what is the little gentleman looking for you?" ”

"Don't you know?" Liu Xiu asked rhetorically.

Liu Bei blushed and said embarrassedly, "I...... I don't know. ”

"Xuande, you should know that I didn't want to read anything, all because you want to study, so I took my aunt and followed you to suffer." Liu Xiu sighed, fell back on the bed with his head in his hands, and said with relief: "Okay now, I made Mr. unhappy because I used vulgar writing to tell myself, and called me over to reprimand me for a long time, although I rewrote one, I don't know if I can pass the test." That's fine, if my husband doesn't accept me, I'll just pack up and go home, anyway, this house is full of some readers, it's very boring, it's better to have fun at home. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his face immediately turned pale, he rushed to Liu Xiu's side and sat down, and said urgently: "Big brother, it's not so serious, right?" You are not a person who has read books, how do you know any official books and common books? ”

"It's not up to me." Liu Xiu turned over impatiently, lay on the bed with his clothes, kicked his feet twice, and took off the straw sandals under his feet. This straw sandal was sent by Liu Bei's mother before leaving, in order to thank Liu Xiu for persuading his mother Tang and paying them to study, there are two layers of cloth in it, which can be regarded as a fine product.

After a day of driving, Liu Xiu's feet were sweating a lot, and as soon as he took off his straw sandals, a foot smell came to his nose. Gongsun Zhan frowned, Liu Bei saw it, so he had to push Liu Xiu and said: "Big brother, wash your feet and then sleep, walk for a day, and make your feet more comfortable." ”

"What to wash, maybe I'll have to walk for another day tomorrow." Liu Xiu said angrily.

Liu Bei was dumbfounded, so he had to get up and carry a big pot to the kitchen to get a pot of hot water, and brought a wooden basin for washing his feet, so that he could pull Liu Xiu up and wash his feet. Liu Xiu lay on the bed weakly, looking listless, although he put his feet in the footbasin, but he didn't move, Liu Bei was weak-hearted, so he had to squat down to wash his feet, and then washed himself, so he went to bed with a lot of sadness. It's just that when he thought that if Liu Xiu was kicked out tomorrow, his dream of reading would come to an end, where could he fall asleep, and he rolled over in bed for half the night, so he barely fell asleep.

Listening to Liu Bei's roasted cakes tossing and turning on the bed, Liu Xiu almost burst his belly with laughter. He handed the rewritten confession to Lu Min, although Lu Min didn't say anything, his face was not so ugly, and he wouldn't be embarrassed by him. It's just that he was annoyed that Liu Bei was playing this kind of heart, so he wanted to toss him, but he didn't expect that the future emperor of Shu was really a capable and bending person, and he actually took the initiative to wash his feet and make amends.

Alas, this is also worth living, and those who can let Liu Bei wash his feet, in addition to his own father and mother, I'm afraid Lao Tzu is also the first.

Fighting with Lao Tzu? Fuck you.

……

In the backyard, Lu Zhi's father and son sat facing each other, with a large pile of bamboo slips and silk books spread out on the desk, and the piece of wooden slips that Lu Min had just brought was placed in the middle. Lu Zhi looked at it carefully, and said with some suspicion: "Is this really what Liu Xiu wrote?" ”

"Yes, he gave it to me with his own hands."

Lu Zhi shook his head and smiled: "This is also a strange thing, a young man who only knows a few sentences of the Analects and can't even distinguish between official and popular books can write such good calligraphy, is he really a talent, but he doesn't have the opportunity to read?" With such good calligraphy, I think only Cai Bojiao can compare with him, and Liang Hu's generations will probably give him three points. ”

"Is it that good?" Lu Min was surprised. He was also impressed when he saw Liu Xiu's calligraphy, but he was far from thinking it was so good. He knew that Cai Yong was a university scholar and calligrapher respected by Lu Zhi, and was famous in the capital for his profound learning and outstanding calligraphy, Lu Zhi usually praised him when he mentioned him, saying that his calligraphy could not catch up with Cai Yong after 30 years of practice, saying that Cai Yong was a natural scholar and calligrapher, and his talent was unparalleled, and now he actually said that a young man could be compared with Cai Yong, which made him unbelievable.

"It's genius, not man." Lu Zhi picked up the calligraphy and put it aside, looked at the surprise on his son's face, and said lightly: "However, no matter how good the calligraphy is, it is just a book, and it should not be of great use." Cai Bojiao became famous, relying on his mastery of scriptures and meanings, calligraphy is just beauty, it is fur, but it is not the foundation of life. ”

"Follow your father's teachings." Lu Min bowed to him, and then said: "Father, although this son's knowledge is not worth mentioning, but calligraphy is really impressive, it is better to arrange him to be a calligrapher by his father's side, help his father copy documents, and let his father have more time to recuperate." Now that the court is troublesome, I don't know when I will summon my father to Beijing, and my father should pay more attention to his health. ”

Lu Zhi was silent, and after a long while, he said: "His academic foundation is too poor, can he be competent?" ”

Lu Min smiled: "Didn't my father say that he was a genius, just try it and you'll know, it's really not good, just make arrangements." ”

Lu Zhi nodded, it was agreed, after a little thought, he said: "The capital is too far away, even if there is something, it will be a few months before it reaches Zhuo County, but what I am worried about now is the north." He looked up at Lu Min and said: "When I was in Luoyang, I heard that in recent years, Xianbei people have entered the country every year, several counties in northern Xinjiang have been slaughtered repeatedly, and Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, has written to the court many times, but those high-ranking officials and nobles don't care about it at all. It's also said, how many of them are from the border counties? No matter how fierce the Xianbei people are, it can't affect their industry, but the people in the border counties are miserable. He sighed, a little emotional: "It's okay if I'm not there, now that I'm back in Zhuoxian, even if I'm just an ordinary person now, I have to do my part." Zixing (Lu Min's character), you have time to ask those scholars from the border counties, pay more attention to the situation of some Xianbei people, and make some preparations in advance for the princes of the prefecture and county to advise. ”

Lu Min nodded again and again: "Father, I have already noticed, the Gongsun Zhan who just came today is from Liaoxi, and he was recommended by the Taishou Mansion of Liaoxi, I must know something about the Xianbei people, I plan to find a time to ask him." ”
