Chapter 041: History is Changing
"You tell me about him in Peach Valley." Liu Yuan ordered a few dishes and ordered wine, and then said to Liu Bei slowly. From beginning to end, he didn't glance at Liu Xiu, as if Liu Xiu was not his son, but Liu Bei was.
Liu Xiu was very puzzled, but he had become accustomed to his father's unreasonable preference in the past few months, and he did not show any unhappiness, with a calm smile on his face, he sat quietly and listened to Liu Bei's speech. He was a little strange about Liu Bei's sudden excitement today, and always felt that he seemed to be a little too enthusiastic, did he want to show it in front of his father, or did he have other intentions?
Liu Bei told all the way about what happened after they arrived in Peach Valley, but it was also clear and colorful, especially when it came to the part where Liu Xiu defeated Yan Rou, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, but later he learned more about it from many classmates, and it was like seeing it in person at this moment.
Liu Yuanqi listened silently, occasionally interjecting two sentences, his face was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and he was not shocked, even if Liu Bei said that Liu Xiu cut off the war knife by himself and was almost defeated by Yan Rou, he only raised his eyebrows and did not say a word.
While talking, the wine maid brought the wine and food, and the three of them talked while eating, and the atmosphere was harmonious. With Liu Bei's endorsement, Liu Xiu fell quietly, buried his head in eating, and swept away a plate of barbecue meat in front of him after a while, and then swallowed a pot of dog meat with soup and water into his stomach, and finally touched his stomach with some unfinished feelings.
Liu Yuanqi finally glanced at him, then at Liu Bei, with a gentle smile on his face: "Xuande, is it enough to eat?" If it's not enough, just call it a little more. ”
"That's enough." Liu Bei hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm not as good as my eldest brother, these are enough." ”
"Hehe, he's a rough man, so there's only the ability to eat this left." Liu Yuanqi took out the money bag from his waist, took out a string of money from it and put it on the table, and said to Liu Bei: "You take this money, go to the cloth market to buy a piece of cloth in a while, and I will bring it back and ask your aunt to make you new clothes. ”
Liu Bei hurriedly thanked him. Tang paid for Liu Xiu's tuition, and he felt uncomfortable after all, so he made new clothes for Liu Xiu, but he didn't prepare them for him, and he was still wearing old clothes with patches. After he finished eating, he wiped his mouth, confessed to Liu Yuanqi, and rushed to the cloth shop to buy cloth.
There were only Liu Yuanqi and Liu Xiu left in the private seat, the smile on Liu Yuanqi's face slowly faded as Liu Bei went out, he took a sip of wine with his wine glass, lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Is it okay to read?" ”
Liu Xiu hesitated: "Okay." ”
"These days, in addition to martial arts practice and competitions, what books have you read?" Liu Yuanqi put down his wine glass and said slowly.
Liu Xiu didn't dare to slack off, and told him about his achievements in reciting "The Book of Filial Piety" and "The Analects" these days, and finally memorized a few paragraphs at Liu Yuanqi's request. Daddy suddenly came to see them and took them out to dinner, he always felt that it was not so simple.
"I read well, but the brave and aggressive surname has not changed." After Liu Yuanqi listened, he commented: "Also, why did you hurt Xuande's eyebrow?" ”
"It was an accident."
"Accident?" Liu Yuanqi rolled his eyes, and his tone suddenly became very stern: "Do you know that because of your accident, Li Ding's eyes no longer have him?" ”
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that his father's attitude towards Li Dingshi at this moment was a little disrespectful, not at all like the appearance that he had previously mentioned Li Dingdu and was respectfully called Li Jun. However, his mind was quickly attracted by what Liu Yuanqi had just said, and he remembered that day when Liu Bei went to see Li Ding, but finally came back with a depressed face.
"This ...... Does it matter? ”
"Absolutely." Liu Yuanqi held the case with both hands, straightened up, and suddenly had an indescribable majesty. He looked at the empty cups and plates on the case, but Liu Xiu was a little awe-inspiring, did Dad have any adventures recently, how did he feel like a different person, and the new clothes on his body were quite incompatible, just like the beauty on the pink wall who was wearing gorgeous clothes and looked like a maidservant, but the new clothes on his body made him look like an old man who had never seen the world, and his demeanor had his own grace.
"The eyebrows are longevity officials, the lord Fulu, as soon as the eyebrows are broken, his Fulu will also be broken." Liu Yuanqi said calmly: "Li Ding used to take a fancy to Xuande, because he had a good eyebrow, although he had a lot of hardships, he was able to achieve a career in the end, so he intended to cultivate him." And now...... Li Ding said that his face has been broken, and he is destined to have no future in his life, and he has no value in cultivation. ”
Liu Xiu was stunned, feeling a little funny and a little frightened. I think it's funny because Li Ding likes Liu Bei because he has a good eyebrow, and I feel afraid because although this is superstition, I have to say that his superstition is indeed right.
He thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Ah Weng, you just said that Xuande has a good eyebrow, that is the left eyebrow I bruised?" His right eyebrow was originally broken, so isn't it a good eyebrow? ”
Liu Yuanqi nodded, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "The male protagonist is left, and the female protagonist is right." The left eyebrow is dominated by the man Fulu, and the right eyebrow is dominated by his wife. Xuande's right eyebrow is hidden and broken, and he has repeatedly lost his wife. However, as long as the husband is successful, what does it matter if he loses a few wives. It's just that you hurt his left eyebrow now, and his work is gone, if you add the repeated loss of his wife, wouldn't he be extremely miserable? How could Li Ding cultivate such a person. ”
Liu Xiu was stunned again, although he was not familiar with history, he also knew that Liu Bei had an "advantage", that is, his wife, as soon as he lost the battle, his wife was arrested, and the second brother Guan rode alone for thousands of miles, isn't it just to protect the two sisters-in-law, Changgupo battled, Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi were killed, Mrs. Mi threw herself into the well and died, if it weren't for Zhao Yun killing seven in and seven out, even Mrs. Gan couldn't be saved.
Affection...... This is also fate.
Liu Xiu didn't know what to say, if this was also a coincidence, it was pure blindness, then this blindness was too accurate.
Liu Xiu suddenly thought that if he said so, wouldn't his own arrow already change the wheel of history and inadvertently kill a big hero of the Three Kingdoms? Liu Bei's life...... It's too bad, isn't it? Will he still meet Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, will he still meet Zhuge Liang, will he die in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, or in the melee of the princes, in the hands of Lu Bu, or in the hands of Cao Ying? Or did he die at the hands of a nobody?
Is this the Eastern Han Dynasty, or is it a different continent where witchcraft is rampant?
"It's not just Li Ding who is disappointed, I'm also disappointed." Liu Yuanqi saw that Liu Xiu's face was red and white for a while, thinking that he was afraid, and continued: "There are so many young people in the clan, that is, Xuande is the most talented, I don't know how many times I quarreled with your aunt in order to help him, and the result is ...... Your inexplicable arrow ruined all my hard work. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xiu touched his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Ah Weng, if you expect Xuande to make a lot of achievements, and then bring some benefits to our family, it is a little unreliable." Li Jun said that he counted the widows, and he had to go through many hardships, and when he succeeded, he didn't know that it was the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, and our family probably couldn't count on it. ”
He didn't lie about this, it seems that after Liu Bei became the emperor of Shu, there was indeed no one from the Liu family around him, and he Liu Xiu's name had not even heard of it, as for whether he became cannon fodder or Liu Bei did not promote him, it is not clear, anyway, their family should not have been touched by Liu Bei's light, and Dad's investment was a loss.
"If you can't count on him, how can you count on you?" Liu Yuanqi sneered: "Just rely on the courage of your husband who dares to fight with others?" ”
