Liu Xiu was a little unaccustomed to Tang's affection, he gently brushed Tang's warm hand away, but he felt a little unbearable. After a while, he said: "Mother, I really want to read some books, if I don't read, won't I have to face the loess with my back to the sky in the future and be a farmer for a lifetime?" ”

Tang's somewhat thick lips moved, his eyes squeezed hard, and he still said hesitantly: "That...... Didn't you say before that you had a headache when you saw the book, and the pen barrel was heavier than this stone lock? In order to make you read, it is useless for you to break a few wattles, how can you ...... How to ......"

"That'...... That was before. Liu Xiu was also a little surprised, the original "self" didn't like reading so much.

Tang Shi was still a little skeptical, turned around and thought about it, and said hatefully: "It's all that little vertical rhetoric, alas, you, you have grown such a big person, but you can't bear the deception of that vertical man, and you don't even listen to your mother's words, it's really ......" She stomped her foot with some hatred, and shook her hand unwillingly: "You think about it again, say it's okay in front of me, and say it again in front of your Ah Weng, it's not only a matter of spending a lot of unjust money, but I'm afraid you won't regret it." ”

Liu Xiu was silent. He can see Tang's licking of calves clearly, but he is not her son now, it is impossible to be like the person before, although he is tall and big, he has no scruples to throw himself into her arms and be coquettish, and the reason why he is willing to study is that he hopes to catch the big tree of Lu Zhi, not because he wants to get ahead by reading, but because he wants to leave the land of right and wrong in Zhuo County. In his impression, the Yellow Turban Rebellion also affected here, and Liu Bei started by killing the Yellow Turban, although he now has a good body, but he doesn't want to participate in this great turmoil, and he lost his surname in vain.

At noon, "father" Liu Yuanqi came back in an ox cart, he was dressed very ceremoniously today, and the creases on the new clothes that had been hidden at the bottom of the box were clear, although he did not wear a crown, but he wrapped a brand new hair curtain, with his Chinese face, three locks of short beard, but also a little majestic.

"You're going to study?" When Liu Yuanqi heard Liu Xiu's words, he also showed a hint of discoloration, the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, he looked Liu Xiu up and down, rarely stretched out his hand and touched Liu Xiu's forehead, and then tried it on his forehead again, confirming that Liu Xiu did not have a fever now. He stretched out his hand behind his back, glanced at the angry Tang Clan, and waved his hand: "Go and prepare some wine and food, I want to have a drink with Ah Xiu." ”

Tang, who was sulking, was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, as if he had heard something incredible, and then he was overjoyed, and his thick waist twisted, floating out like a light butterfly, and far away, her cheerful voice sounded in the kitchen.

Liu Xiu was a little gloomy, it seems that in the impression of the "mother", the "father" has never been so intimate with his "son".

Liu Yuanqi turned around and went to the hall, sat down on the seat in the middle, and then pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for Liu Xiu to sit down. Liu Xiu hesitated, although he felt that kneeling was too tiring, but for the sake of safety, he still walked over, sat down in a proper manner, put the hem of his clothes in place, and then put his hands on his lap, making a posture of listening to his ears.

Liu Yuanqi kept looking at him, his eyes showed a rare appreciation, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Has Xuande been here?" ”

"Hmm."

"I asked him to come." Liu Yuanqi said bluntly, he paused, and then said: "Li Ding invited me to discuss the matter of letting him go to study. I know you don't like to read, but this is a rare opportunity. Lu Jun is a rare Confucian in Zhuo County, even if it is the entire Han Dynasty, he is also a talent, study with him, even if he can't do it, he can also gain a little knowledge, and he knows that it is great if he doesn't have the strength to do it. ”

Liu Xiu frowned, why was there still a thorn in his words?

"I don't know if you really want to go to school, or if you were moved by Xuande's words." Liu Yuanqi glanced at him again and said lightly: "As long as you are willing to go, this is a good thing." ”

Liu Xiu was silent, unable to see any expression on his face, but he felt sad for the deity who had disappeared from nowhere.

"Lu Jun is both civil and military, on the scriptures, he is Ma Fufeng's disciple, whether it is modern literature and scriptures or ancient scriptures, he has considerable attainments, on politics, he has outstanding achievements in Jiujiang, is a rare pillar of talent, if it is not for the health is not happy, now it has been reused by the court, where is the opportunity to return to Zhuo County to apprentice, this is a rare good opportunity, you don't want to miss it." Liu Yuanqi looked at Liu Xiu as he spoke, although there was still some indifference and reproach in his tone, but compared to the previous indifference, Liu Xiu finally heard some of the warmth that should be felt between father and son. "Lu Jun is not a pedantic person who chews words, he is proficient in Meiji, you can have the opportunity to listen to his teachings, it is your blessing, and it is also the blessing of my family, which will be of great benefit to you in the future."

Liu Xiu nodded again and again, but he was amused in his heart, if he knew the real reason why he wanted to study, I don't know if he would be interested in talking about it again.

Tang quickly made a few cold dishes, and brought them up happily, seeing that although Liu Yuanqi's tone was not good, he did not get angry, and Liu Xiu lowered his head, it was also rare to be quiet, and she was even more happy in her heart, she said in a loud voice: "Son, it is rare for you to be happy today, you can accompany him to drink a few cups, don't worry, you eat slowly, wait for your mother to cook a few more dishes, and then come to drink with your father and son." Saying that, without waiting for Liu Xiu to agree, he went out with a brisk pace, and soon brought a wine urn, put it beside Liu Xiu, squeezed his eyes at Liu Xiu, and motioned him to accompany Lao Tzu Liu Yuanqi to drink.

Liu Xiu nodded, looked at the wine urn that was about calf high, and frowned, although he knew that the alcohol at this time was not high, at most it was similar to beer, but after drinking such a jar of wine, even if it was beer, he couldn't withstand it, and he didn't know how much he drank in his current strong body like a cow. Although he was drumming in his heart, he didn't dare to show timidity, reached out and pulled off the straw rope on the wine urn, peeled off the sealing mud on it, and ripped off the oil paper on it, and a smell of wine came to his nose. He got up and picked up the wine urn and was just about to pour wine for Liu Yuanqi, when his eyes glanced at it, and he was taken aback.

Why is there still sake lees in this wine? The old lady is so happy, take the wrong wine jar, right? He stood up and was just about to go to the kitchen to change, when Lao Tzu Liu Yuanqi stopped him, looking puzzled: "Where are you going?" ”

"I'll ...... Swap. Liu Xiu shook the wine urn in his hand and showed him the sticky wine lees inside.
