Chapter 8: Eating Deflated
Cai's charming cheeks showed a stunned look, and he said in his heart that this kid really went to find Zhang Zhongjing?
Liu Cong didn't believe it, and said in a deep voice: "Third brother, are you sure you have found Doctor Zhang? Liu Cong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he had always wanted to take revenge on Liu Xiu, but he couldn't find a chance. After Liu Biao's condition worsened, he had an idea and asked people to investigate Liu Xiu's situation, and learned that Liu Xiu had gone out, so he deliberately mentioned Liu Xiu in front of Liu Biao and asked Liu Xiu to serve.
In fact, Liu Cong deliberately wanted to embarrass Liu Xiu.
Unexpectedly, being smart was mistaken by being smart, but gave Liu Xiu a chance and let Liu Xiu behave in front of Liu Biao.
Liu Cong felt bad for a while, and he was in a very bad mood.
Liu Xiu glanced at Liu Cong, and said, "Father, when General Wen found his son, Doctor Zhang was beside his son. General Wen can testify to this. After all, Doctor Zhang was an elderly man and couldn't ride around on horseback, so his son arranged for him to take a car back to the city. It is estimated that it will not take long for Doctor Zhang to arrive. ”
"Okay, good, good, Xiu'er has a heart. ”
Liu Biao said three good words in a row, and the excitement was overflowing, and the atmosphere of twilight seemed to have dispersed a lot.
Compared to before, there is a little more spirit.
Liu Xiu glanced at Cai and Liu Cong, unwilling to stay, and said, "Father, my son will go to the gate of the mansion to greet Doctor Zhang." You recuperate first, and Doctor Zhang will be here soon. ”
"Don't slack off Doctor Zhang, go!"
Liu Biao asked people to take the futon, and then lay down and closed their eyes to recuperate.
Liu Xiu got up and left the bedroom, and not long after he walked out, Liu Cong actually followed.
Liu Cong stood in front of Liu Xiu and said proudly: "Third brother, don't think it's great to find Zhang Zhongjing. In the eyes of your father, no matter what you do, you will always be a concubine. The concubine is always not on the table. Do you understand that?"
Liu Xiu said: "The second brother is a son-in-law, and he is indeed very popular. In front of his father and the civil and military officials of Jingzhou, the feeling of being defeated by Sun Ren's sword must be very comfortable. Second brother is really lonely, no one shares your comfortable feelings. ”
"You ......"
Liu Cong's eyes were full of fire, and he was furious.
Liu Xiu said: "Second brother, do you have anything else to say? If not, don't get in the way, I still have to go to meet Doctor Zhang." ”
Liu Cong's chin was raised, and he snorted: "I told my father, and I also came to greet Doctor Zhang." Doctor Zhang is famous all over the world, how can a person like you be able to come into contact with him? Doctor Zhang is willing to come to treat his father's illness, and this is also due to his father's prestige, so you should not be too self-righteous. ”
The voice fell, and Liu Cong shook his hand and left.
Liu Xiu shook his head gently, no matter when, Liu Cong was so proud.
In his previous life, Liu Cong was always proud.
However, when the Cai family and other Jingzhou officials hijacked him and surrendered to Cao Cao, Liu Cong fell into the dust and no longer had a trace of pride; after being sent to Xudu, Liu Cong was like a caged bird, and there were people watching him when he ate, clothed, lived, and traveled, and he was even more depressed and unhappy.
It's just that the current Liu Cong, where does he know the future outcome of Jingzhou, and where does he know his own future ending.
Liu Xiu put on his sleeves and walked towards the gate.
When he came to the gate, Liu Xiu waited quietly and did not talk to Liu Cong.
Liu Cong couldn't help it, and suddenly said: "Third brother, there is no need for us brothers to be so stiff. ”
Liu Xiu said: "What does the second brother mean?"
Liu Cong smiled slightly and said confidently: "I mean, you will show your face in front of your father less in the future." As for the second brother, I can guarantee that after I inherit Jingzhou, you will have no worries about food and clothing, and even be an official. With your identity as a concubine, it is impossible to inherit Jingzhou, so why do you need to charge for the eldest brother and be willing to be used as a gunman by the eldest brother?"
Liu Xiu said: "The second brother is still self-righteous and always annoying. ”
Liu Cong's face suddenly darkened, and anger surged.
Liu Xiu continued: "Lu Su's visit was notified by the second brother, and my father was seriously ill, and the second brother was also notified to me. It was all arranged by the second brother himself, how can I show my face less in front of my father?"
Liu Cong said: "You have the opportunity to see your father, but you are not allowed to be in the limelight or show your ability." ”
Liu Xiu shook his head lightly and said, "Do you know why I like big brother?"
Liu Cong asked, "Why?"
Liu Xiu said: "Because the eldest brother is benevolent, in the eyes of the eldest brother, at least treat me as a brother." As for the second brother, you pout your ass all day long, look high, self-righteous, as if how great you are. But think about it carefully, in terms of martial arts, can you go into battle and kill the enemy with your three-legged cat's kung fu? When it comes to poetry books, you only know how many poetry books you are proficient in playing with women? You don't have any ability, but you feel good about yourself, which really makes people unapproachable. ”
Liu Cong said coldly: "So, are you rejecting me?"
Liu Xiu looked indifferent, and said casually: "If you want to understand it like this, you can do it." ”
"You will regret your decision today!" Liu Cong said coldly.
The eyes he looked at Liu Xiu were even colder. In Liu Cong's eyes, Liu Xiu is not only a concubine, but also a gun in Liu Qi's hands, he must suppress Liu Xiu and make Liu Xiu completely lose his status in Liu Biao's heart.
Liu Xiu said categorically: "The one who regrets it may be the second brother." ”
Liu Cong's eyes were cold, he turned his head, no longer talking to Liu Xiu, he looked into the distance of the street, and waited quietly.
Liu Xiu's eyes were fortunate, fortunately he met Zhang Zhongjing in Wencun, otherwise he would really be troubled this time.
Wheels!
The wheels turned, and a horse-drawn carriage drove quickly towards the state pastor's house.
The horseman who drove the car was a cavalryman brought by Wenpin.
When Liu Cong saw the comer, he immediately put a smile on his face, and walked down the steps first to wait. Liu Xiu didn't speak, but also walked down silently and stood beside Liu Cong.
In the eyes of outsiders, he and Liu Cong are still brothers, friends and brothers.
After a few moments, the carriage stopped.
The door curtain was rolled up, and Zhang Zhongjing walked out with the medicine box on his back.
Liu Cong immediately stepped forward to salute and said, "In Liu Cong, I have seen Doctor Zhang." ”
Zhang Zhong nodded his head in greetings, but ignored Liu Cong, looked directly at Liu Xiu, and asked with concern: "Third son, how is the condition of the state pastor?"
Liu Xiu took the initiative to take the medicine box that Zhang Zhongjing was carrying, and replied, "Father's condition has stabilized, and there is nothing major for the time being. Especially when I learned that Zhong Jinggong was here, my spirit was much better. Specifically, it has to be diagnosed and treated by Zhongjinggong, and the kid is a layman after all. ”
Zhang Zhongjing smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Lead the way ahead!"
Liu Xiu nodded and took Zhang Zhongjing to the house.
Liu Cong stood in place, looking embarrassed. As Liu Biao's second son, he took the initiative to come forward to say hello, but they just nodded slightly like passers-by, and then directly entered the house with Liu Xiu, ignoring him at all. With Zhang Zhongjing's reputation and identity, Liu Cong did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
What's more, looking at the way Zhang Zhongjing and Liu Xiu talked, it seemed very familiar, which made Liu Cong even more puzzled.
"Hmph, let you be arrogant for a while. ”
Liu Cong couldn't find a chance to fight back, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart, take three steps and make two steps, followed Zhang Zhongjing and Liu Xiu, and walked to Liu Biao's bedroom together.
Entering the bedroom, Liu Xiu took the initiative to say, "Father, Zhongjinggong is here." ”
Liu Biao's face was full of joy, and he hurriedly said, "Doctor Zhang, I'm tired of you this time." ”
Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and said: "Liu Jingzhou is a sick person, and the old man is a cured person." Lao Yu's diagnosis and treatment of Liu Jingzhou is a matter of duty, and there is no need to thank him. Please Liu Jingzhou stretch out his left hand, and the old man will take the pulse for you. ”
Liu Biao was still grateful in his heart, and hurriedly stretched out his thin hand
