State Pastoral Mansion, Backyard.

Liu Cong looked crazy and furious. In anger, the vases and screens in the room were overturned to the ground.

The whole room was in chaos.

Liu Cong didn't expect that the Jingzhou Cultural Conference specially prepared for him would actually achieve Liu Xiu, and let Liu Xiu worship Pang Degong as a teacher. Such a result made Liu Cong angry.

All this should have been his, but it made Liu Xiu take advantage of it.

"Liu Xiu, I will never let you go, never!"

Liu Cong roared, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and his heart was even more angry.

"Knock! knock!"

There was a knock on the door, which rang out outside the room.

"Childe, Madame and Cai Junshi are invited. ”

Green Willow's voice sounded outside the room, and standing outside the door, Green Willow's heart was even more terrified. When Liu Cong was angry, the rest of the people in the mansion were terrified, for fear that they would be affected.

Liu Cong was out of breath and panting, took a few deep breaths in a row, suppressed his anger, and said, "I know, I'll go right away." ”

Outside the room, Green Willow hurriedly retreated.

Liu Cong tidied up his clothes, washed his face, and walked towards Cai's courtyard. When I came to Cai's courtyard, a maid immediately took Liu Cong to the study.

The door was closed, and in the study, there were only Cai's Cai Mao and Liu Cong.

Liu Cong couldn't see the slightest anger on his face, and said with a smile: "Is there anything wrong with the mother who brought her son?"

Cai said: "I came to you to talk about Liu Xiu." ”

At the mention of Liu Xiu, Liu Cong clenched his fists and asked, "How does my mother plan to deal with Liu Xiu?"

Cai shook his head and said, "After discussing with your uncle, I decided to ignore Liu Xiu for the time being. "Liu Cong's wife, Xiao Cai, is the daughter of Cai Mao's cousin. The relationship between Liu Cong and Cai Mao is extraordinary.

"Ahh

Liu Cong was surprised, with a look of disbelief on his face, and asked, "Why?"

The current Liu Xiu, with Pang Degong as his teacher, is a greater threat to Liu Cong.

Cai Mao's face was serious, and he said: "First, Liu Xiu worships Pang Degong as his teacher, in a short time, he has already left the State Pastoral Mansion, and it is impossible to get involved in the fight between you and Qi Gongzi, and he cannot pose a threat to you." ”

"Second, Pang Degong is a famous man in Jingzhou, with high prestige, and his identity is extraordinary, which is not easy to deal with. Although Pang Degong is not an official, his influence cannot be ignored. As soon as Liu Xiu apprenticed, we will deal with Liu Xiu, and it is likely to offend Pang Degong. Once things get bigger, it will affect your impression in the heart of the lord. ”

"Third, the focus now is still on dealing with Liu Qi. As long as Liu Qi completely loses his position and takes the initiative to appoint you to inherit Jingzhou, then your position will be stable. Liu Xiu, whether it is his background or foundation, cannot be compared with you. ”

Cai Mao looked serious and said: "At the Jingzhou Literary Conference, Liu Xiu was too brilliant. Your mother and I are worried that you will be impulsive and misguided, which will affect the overall situation. Those who do not seek a lifetime are not enough to seek a time, and at a critical time, they must be able to endure. ”

Cai continued: "Cong'er, your uncle's words make sense. ”

Liu Cong's face was pale, and his eyes flashed with unwillingness.

Just quit like this, he was too aggrieved.

Cai Mao scolded: "You are brave now, and the final result may cause your status to be affected." It will be Liu Qi who will benefit. You bear with it, and after you completely defeat Liu Qi, it is just a matter of one sentence to deal with Liu Xiu. ”

Liu Cong took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "I understand!"

Cai Mao nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Actually, it doesn't mean that you really don't care about Liu Xiu." ”

Liu Cong hurriedly said, "What does my uncle think?"

Cai Mao's eyes flashed fiercely, and said, "You don't have to do anything, I will send someone to keep an eye on Lumen Mountain and Liu Xiu's every move." As long as Liu Xiu has something out of line, I will immediately report it to the state pastor. One or two things, the state pastor may let it go, but after accumulating too much, Liu Xiu naturally lost the trust of the state pastor completely. ”

Cai Shi was relieved: "Cong'er, leave the matter of dealing with Liu Xiu to your uncle, and you don't have to worry about anything." Your task now is to win your father's trust by reading books, and leave the rest to your uncle. ”

Liu Cong nodded heavily and said, "Mother don't worry, Cong'er understands." ”

In the study, as the conversation continued, the atmosphere gradually warmed up, filled with cheerful laughter.

......

Lumen Mountain, formerly known as Suling Mountain, is located in the southeast of Xiangyang.

Lumen Mountain is surrounded by mountains and rivers, bordering the Han River, and facing each other across the river from the famous mountain of Jingzhou.

According to legend, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, inspected Jingzhou and visited Suling Mountain, and the minister Xi Yu dreamed of two sika deer. Liu Xiu thought that the two sika deer in the dream were incarnated by the mountain god's dream, so he asked Xi Yu to set up an ancestral hall on Suling Mountain, and placed two stone deer on the road in front of the ancestral temple. Since then, the people have called the ancestral temple Lumen Temple, and Suling Mountain has gradually become Lumen Mountain.

Liu Xiu didn't think that Xi Yu had the same dream, probably because he wanted to please Liu Xiu, so he said that he also had the same dream.

No matter what the real situation is, the Lumen Mountain presented in front of Liu Xiu's eyes is lush and green, the mountains and forests are dyed green, and there are bamboo forests swaying on the mountain, and the scenery is pleasant.

Pang Degong stood on the official road leading to the mountain and said in a deep voice: "As soon as you enter Lumen Mountain, you will temporarily bid farewell to the prosperity of Jingzhou." Xiu'er, are you ready?"

Liu Xiu replied, "Teacher, the disciple is already ready. ”

In Liu Xiu's view, the study of art in Lumen Mountain will be a starting point in his life, and temporary dormancy means a temporary new beginning.

Pang Degong waved his hand and said, "Go, follow me up the mountain." ”

Liu Xiu nodded and followed Pang Degong to the mountain.

The place where Pang Degong lived was halfway up the mountain, because there was just a wide and flat place on the halfway up the mountain. In addition, there are bamboo forests all over the mountainside, and the scenery is pleasant.

After walking for nearly half an hour, the two came to their residence.

Pang Degong's residence is not like the academy, which has a single school, only a three-hall courtyard. This courtyard is not only the place where Pang Degong teaches, but also the residence of Pang Degong.

When they entered the courtyard, they were greeted by attendants.

Pang Degong first arranged Liu Xiu's residence, and then took Liu Xiu to the backyard to meet his wife and children, and introduced Liu Xiu ceremoniously, before taking Liu Xiu out of the backyard, and then went to the rest of the places to introduce Liu Xiu one by one.

In half a day, Liu Xiu was basically familiar with the situation in the house.

The next day, early in the morning!

Liu Xiu got up early for morning exercises, and after breakfast, an attendant said that Pang Degong was invited.

Under the leadership of the attendants, Liu Xiu came to Pang Degong's study.

Pang Degong waved his hand to signal Liu Xiu to sit down, and said in a deep voice: "One day is a teacher, and you are a father for life, and the old man accepts you as a closed disciple, and he regards you as a son." In the next time, I will pass on what I have learned in my life to you. In terms of learning, you can find me if you encounter problems, and in life, if you encounter problems, you can find your teacher. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Disciple understands, thank you teacher." ”

Liu Xiu's heart was warm, and Pang Degong's care made him feel a long-lost family affection.

Like a teacher, like a father!

This is Liu Xiu's thoughts at the moment.

Immediately, Pang Degong said some other things.

"Knock! knock!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the room.

Pang Fu, the housekeeper in the house, said: "Master, the tenants under the mountain gather and clamore to see the master." ”

Pang Degong waved his hand and said, "Come with me to have a look!"

Liu Xiu nodded, got up and followed Pang Degong out of the study. Pang Degong looked at Pang Fu and asked, "How many people are here, and what is it for?"

Pang Fu replied: "Dozens of families from the bottom of the mountain have come, and the reason why they came to the mountain is because of the lack of water. All the farmers are in the mountains. ”

Pang Degong bowed slightly, thought for a while, and then ordered: "I'll go and see them, and you can arrange for someone to prepare tea and bring it to the gathered villagers." ”

"Yes!"

Pang Fu should go down and hurriedly go to arrange.

Pang Degong looked at Liu Xiu and ordered, "Wait a while, watch and listen more, understand?"

"Disciple understands!"

Liu Xiu nodded, he knew that Pang Degong was teaching him how to do things
