Liu Chang admired the three maids, who were loyal to the Lord all their lives and became a living witness of the history of the ancestors of the three changes. The story told by the oldest maid about the young master's meal and asking more questions shows the great influence of family affairs on the ancestors of the three changes.

Soon after the young Liu Sanbian followed his step-grandmother Yu to his hometown of Chong'an, one day, the old maid took him to the market to buy delicious food.

Chong'an is a small town, and the streets are all connected by shops, most of which are two-storey buildings, with the lower floors used for shops for business and the upper floors used for accommodation. The shops are large and small, and the street is not very neat, like sausages filled during the New Year's holidays, one section is thick, and the other section is thin. The street is not long, only about 100 zhang! The streets are also untidy, and animal droppings are scattered everywhere. More iconic are the agricultural tools, which can be seen everywhere on the streets, indicating the characteristics of the era when it was both a farmer and a businessman.

When I arrived at the snack bar, I saw a long queue at the door of the store, and the old maid hurriedly lined up at the back, and told Liu Sanbian to say: "Young master, don't go far, buy it and eat it while it's hot, you can wait nearby." ”

Liu San responded: "Okay, call me then!" "Run away.

He suddenly stopped his steps, stunned by the scene in front of him.

A young mother sits on a stone pile, leaning on a girl of his age in her arms, the girl is coquettish in her mother's arms, the mother kisses her daughter's face, hair and small hands affectionately, and the mother and daughter always look in the direction of the snack bar.

Suddenly, the little girl shouted, "I bought it, Daddy is here." ”

The finger of the mother's right index finger gently scraped the little girl's lips, and said with a smile on her face: "The little obedient has a mouthful, eat it and grow up quickly!" ”

Originally, this snack is indeed famous far and wide, quite historical, full of aroma, slightly sweet and delicious, refreshing in the mouth. A good thing for all ages. Even the shopkeeper and partners of the snack bar are very familiar with the Liu family and the maids, but no, the oldest maid took Liu Sanbian to line up, and the shopkeeper beckoned to her and asked her to go over and get it directly. If it weren't for the last time the maid was scolded by her grandmother for not queuing, the taste of the snack would have been tasted beautifully.

But this is not a matter of eating, but the scene of eating touched Liu San's young heart, and he turned his clever eyes. Thinking desperately, it can be described as searching the intestines and scraping the stomach, piecing together such a picture in the mind, looking for such a happy moment, no, really no, absolutely not. He saw tears in his eyes, like dead grass blown up by the wind.

The maid waited in line for a long time to buy food, and the young master was obviously standing there. After calling for a while and not answering, she ran over with a snack: "Young master, eat quickly!" ”

Liu Sanbian glanced at her: "You eat!" "Still staring intently at the family.

"The young master's favorite food, eat a little." The maid broke a little and stuffed it into the young master's mouth. "Taste it, it's delicious!"

Liu Sanbian spit on the ground: "If you don't eat it, what does it taste like?" ”

The maid thought to herself, isn't this what you let you buy? Why doesn't it taste good again.

The maid said, "It's not delicious today, I'll go to them." As he spoke, he was about to move.

"Don't go!" Liu Sanbian lowered his head. "It's not about snacks, it's about there!" Liu Sanbian pointed not far away.

She followed the young master's gaze and understood, so she had a plan: "The young master and the little sister will compete and see who eats first." As he spoke, he crouched down and prepared to feed him.

Liu Sanbian pulled his legs and ran home. Although the maid is not very old, it is really not easy to catch up.

Liu Sanbian ran home, entered his room, lay on his back on the bed, looked at the floor, didn't say a word, his tears rolled down, he turned over violently, prostrate on the bed, and let his tears soak the pillow.

After a while, the panting maid led her grandmother in and looked at Liu Sanbian who was prostrate on the bed. Grandmother sat on the edge of the bed and patted him on the back with concern: "Wu'er didn't eat well, so I can buy it again, so what's the case?" ”

Liu Sanbian was silent, and the grandmother turned Liu Sanchang's body sideways, pointed to the maid and said, "Don't worry about my son, it's her who is not thoughtful, change people and buy again, until you are satisfied." ”

The maid was also well-behaved, and quickly admitted her mistake: "The next person is not good, don't worry about the young master, wait for me to buy it!" ”

"What's your business?" Liu Sanbian said loudly with a crying voice, "I changed my mind and don't want to eat!" ”

"Okay, good, if you don't eat, you won't eat!" Grandmother said, also heard the fame, contact the maid to tell her about the situation, she didn't know what to do, she with sympathy, with regret, with a helpless mood to get up and go out, she knew that what the little three changed wanted, no matter what, she couldn't give it, but she swallowed tears, if the tears can make up for these, she is willing to dry her tears, and even do not hesitate to shed a drop of tears in the next life, the next life.

The maid followed closely behind, and her heart was also heavy.

The grandmother sat down in the hall and asked the maid, "Is it really because you said so?" ”

The maid explained what she saw in detail.

Grandmother fell into contemplation: the official family must be like this, the Liu family, the Wenxing Gaozhao, the scientific examination Wang clan, the Jinshi and the first, the report is on the door, and the neighbors congratulate them, which can be said to have broken the threshold and cannot be repaired. And the official positions are scattered, everywhere is home, and it is difficult to reunite, that is natural! Only the two levels of society can enjoy the family, the royal lineage, who dares to separate; Ordinary people, like a shadow, are both kind and righteous. Poor my son, born in an official family, coincided with Er's father's foreign appointment, lonely and miserable, it is really difficult to make up for it.

The grandmother was embarrassed, and she didn't know whether to tell him what she was thinking.

After a while, Liu San came to the dining hall sleepy-eyed, and he sat down and said to his grandmother: "Grandmother, I just had a dream that my parents were eating with us......

The grandmother reacted very quickly, and secretly admired the child's incomparable intelligence, but she didn't want him to have this difficult problem to answer, so she immediately interrupted him: "My son is filial piety, and often thinks of family affection, this is a person who values love and righteousness, and is gratifying!" ”

"Why don't your parents go home and honor you, grandmother?" Liu Sanbian tilted his head and asked.

My grandmother was even more amazed, at such a young age, her eyes were so flexible, her thinking was so complex, and if she achieved great things, her future was limitless. So, my grandmother said: "Men should focus on state affairs, loyalty and filial piety can not be both, should be loyal first and then filial piety, the so-called country is great, family affection is second, do you understand?" ”

Liu Sanbian slowly stretched out his chopsticks, took a piece of vegetarian food and put it in his mouth, chewing, chewing, he suddenly asked, "Are we considered subjects?" ”

Although my grandmother said that she was knowledgeable and intelligent, she couldn't figure out what he wanted to say or what his purpose was in the face of such a clever and clever way of thinking.

The maids who served the meal had only laughter and amazement.

"Loyalty to the monarch means to protect the people, protect the people, and enrich the people, but this is true?" Liu Sanbian asked his grandmother again.

Grandmother nodded yes.

"My father is an official, why don't you protect me?"

Liu Sanbian asked, and his grandmother was very embarrassed.

After a while, my grandmother came back to her senses: "For the officials, naturally serve the people, only the emperor can help all parties!" ”

"The emperor cares about the people's home, why doesn't he care about the eunuch's house?" Liu Sanbian asked again.

"Don't talk nonsense, stop, stop, eat!" Grandmother had to prevaricate. (To be continued......)
