One hundred and thirty-nine chapters

The heart of worrying about the country and the people, most of the literati who read poetry and books have it, but after all, it didn't happen to themselves, and they didn't see such a drought with their own eyes.

Liu Chenxing ended the topic with a word, and the three brothers and sisters went back to the inner courtyard of the second entrance together.

A family of six people, among which the husband Liu Qianli is a strong man who works hard, his son Liu Qingshan is in his early twenties when he can eat, and his nephew Liu Qinghai is even more half-old to eat the age of the poor old man, the amount of food of the young man who eats long rice is not ordinarily large, although the daughter Liu Chenxing is not a half-old boy, but it is different from the average little lady, and there is almost no difference between the boy, the long hands and feet are much taller than most of the little ladies, and the brain does not stop all day, and the practice of getting up early and going to bed late is not small.

With such four mouths to eat, the Liu family had to prepare more than half an hour in advance in order not to be in a hurry.

At this time, the sun was just turning westward, and the Liu family was already starting to eat at dusk, and Grandma Liu was squatting by the well in the inner courtyard to wash vegetables.

I have long heard the sound of footsteps from the front yard, but the yard is too big, the sound of opening and closing the door is not heard, when I first came to live, I always don't worry, the door is bolted from the horse, but people mainly live in the inner courtyard, and the knock on the door outside is often not heard, resulting in several times the phenomenon that my family can not enter the house, and I have lived in Chang'an for a long time, listening to my children and younger brothers persuade the political square next to the East Market, most of the people who live are official gentry, and generally do not dare to offend, the public security is still very good, and Liu dares to keep the courtyard door during the day.

But my heart is still a little unsteady, and when there is a wind and grass, I prick up my ears.

At this time, he heard the sound of footsteps from the front yard, although it was a familiar footstep, Liu still put down the dishes that were being cleaned in his hand, stood up and said, "A-Niang, you sit down and wash first, I'll go and see if Qingshan and their brothers are back." As he spoke, he wiped the water on his hands on the blue cloth apron tied around his waist.

Grandma Liu is old, unlike Liu's squatting by the well water, but sitting on a small stool, which is still the stool that Liu Chenxing thought of in the later generations, and let Aya Liu Qianli come to Chang'an to make it himself.

Not to mention that Liu's family was not worried that the door was not locked, Grandma Liu was just as worried, and when she heard it, she sat on the small pestle, stopped washing vegetables, looked up and said, "Okay, you go and take a look, I am also down-to-earth here." ”

didn't say anything explicitly, but after being a mother and daughter for more than forty years, they still have a very tacit understanding with each other, and the Liu family naturally understood what Grandma Liu meant, nodded to Grandma Liu with a smile, and turned around and walked to the door of the inner courtyard.

After a while, I saw that Liu Qingshan and Liu Qinghai were back, and there was Liu Chenxing together, and they were overjoyed at the moment, and they were busy catching up, so they said happily: "Ah Xing, why did you come back so early today?" Didn't go to Jiang Gong's place to learn calligraphy? ”

How hard my daughter is, I know best, it is thunder and never absent.

The joy on Liu's face changed, and he said with concern: "Ah Xing, nothing happened, right?" ”

This sentence is said carefully.

The most pity the hearts of parents in the world, only A-Niang is good in the world.

Liu Lexing felt in his heart, in fact, he also knew that he had been busy recently, usually going out early and returning late, just sleeping at home, and when it came to the days of rest every ten days, he did not accompany Ye Niang at home, or went to Qujiang to enter filial piety by the side of the teacher Jiang Mo.

After all, you can't just enjoy the benefits of being a disciple, and you can't do your own thing, so on the day of Xiu Mu, while practicing calligraphy with the teacher Jiang Mo in the farmhouse, he cooked a meal by himself.

Seeing that A-Niang Liu was surprised and worried, Liu Chenxing reflected on his recent busyness, but his face was still smiling, and he took Liu's hand in a few steps, and said with a smile: "A-Niang, I came back early today, it's the teacher who went to visit friends, don't worry!" ”

Hearing that it was okay, and it was rare to finally see the opportunity to talk to her daughter well, Liu enjoyed her daughter's intimacy with her, and smiled like a spring breeze, "It's okay, it's rare that you came back early today, whatever you want to eat, A-Niang will cook it for you." ”

Liu Chenxing continued to hold Liu's hand and said with a smile: "No matter what A-Niang does, I like to eat!" Sweetly whispered, looked up at the sun in the sky, hurriedly let go of Liu's hand, blocked the sun for Liu's hand, and said: "It's just that the sun is too big, it's not good to bask A-Niang, A-Niang's skin is whiter and more tender than mine, but you can't get spots, A-Niang, let's go and talk in the shade." ”

No matter how old a woman is, there is no one who does not love beauty.

While Liu was happy that her daughter said that she had good skin, she also listened to the words that there would be spots on her face in the sun, so she immediately followed Liu Chenxing to the place where she was shaded, and directly left the two cousins aside.

Liu Qingshan and Liu Chenxing are used to competing for favor, and when they saw that they were neglected, they were unwilling to be lonely to show their filial piety, and said: "A-Niang, you went to the gate of the courtyard again to see who came back, you are still so frightened in your own home, my son is really distressed to look at, wait a few months, and my son will be able to buy you someone to call!" ”

He really likes to use this folding fan, so he opened the folding fan with a "snap" as he spoke, tilted his head, shook the fan, looked like he was waiting to be praised, and continued: "This Chang'an is the most prosperous Kunlun slave, Bodhisattva Man, Silla maid." When the time comes, I will first buy a Kunlun slave as a gatekeeper and watch the door, so as not to worry about A-Niang. Wait for next year to buy a Bodhisattva to dance for A-Niang to relieve boredom, and wait another year to buy a Silla maid to serve around, I heard that the Silla maid is the most docile! ”

There are three major things in Chang'an today, especially among the children of Chang'an, which are the three necessary things - Kunlun slave, Bodhisattva Man, and Silla maid.

If there are few of these three types of people in anyone's family, they are embarrassed to say that they are big families in Chang'an.

Kunlun Nu, the black man at this time, was sold from overseas. They are strong, hard-working, they can be both bodyguards and servants, for those anointed children in Chang'an who have nothing to do, take a team of Kunlun slaves out to bully and dominate the market, it is a big card.

Therefore, Kunlun Nu is very sought after in Chang'an's wealthy families, and it is a scarce human resource, and the price is not cheap.

As the name suggests, the Bodhisattva is actually a barbarian woman like the Bodhisattva, I heard that there is a female barbarian country around this dynasty, and the women here are dressed very interestingly, with a high bun, with a golden hat, wearing a jewel, which looks the same as the Bodhisattva on the mural, so many people call it the Bodhisattva.

They can sing and dance, full of exotic customs, and many Chang'an men take them as concubines.
