At night, the soft moonlight falls and the moonlight is hazy and illusory.

The hustle and bustle of Lumen Mountain has finally returned to calm.

The appearance of the cylinder car makes Lumen Mountain very lively. Liu Biao's arrival at the Huang family also made the Huang family lively. Liu Xiu dined at Huang's house at noon, and left with the civil and military officials in the afternoon near evening.

In the study, Ma Hui, Huang Chengyan and Liu Xiu of Pound Company sat down.

Pang De said fairly: "Xiu'er, how do you feel about being out of the limelight today?" ”

There was a hint of joking in the words.

Liu Xiu replied: "Regarding today's events, the disciple has two feelings. ”

"Which two?" asked Pang Degong.

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he said, "First, men should be in power." Today's scene is what a man should have. If a man is not in power, he will always be a dog, what kind of man is he?"

As soon as these words came out, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and Sima Hui's faces changed slightly.

Liu Xiu didn't seem to notice the expressions of the three of them, and continued: "Second, if people drink water, they know how warm and cold they are. ”

Pang Degong asked, "How do you say this?"

Hearing Liu Xiu's first words getting carried away, Pang Degong was worried, afraid that Liu Xiu would be carried away. Now, hearing Liu Xiu's second sentence, Pang pressed the worry in his heart again and listened to Liu Xiu's explanation.

Liu Xiudao: "Dedicate the design drawings of the cylinder car to make me famous in Jingzhou." I got my father's Zhenshan sword, which made the Jingzhou officials look down on me. ”

"On the surface, I have a lot of weight, and the scenery is infinite. ”

"In fact, after this incident, the attitude of Liu Cong, Cai Mao and others towards me will change again. ”

"Before, even if I showed something, I was not loved by my father, and I was born as a concubine. No matter what, it is impossible to compete for the position of Jingzhou pastor's heir. ”

"Liu Cong's worry about me is more worried that I will become a knife in the hands of my eldest brother and affect him. ”

"Now I have the Zhenshan Sword, which represents my father's weight. ”

Liu Xiu's face was solemn, and he said with emotion: "Even if I don't have the intention of competing for the heir, Liu Cong will treat me as a thorn in the flesh, and he will think that I am a competitor, and it is impossible to be as gentle as before." ”

"Now, I'm afraid Liu Cong is eager to get rid of it quickly. ”

"Back to my eldest brother Liu Qi, now I'm afraid I'm going to make him jealous, and it's impossible to protect me like before. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes were solemn, "Now I am more valued on the surface of the scenery, but after careful analysis, in fact, I have nothing." ”

"In terms of identity, he is still born as a concubine, and he has no identity. ”

"In terms of status, there is no power in the hands, there is no status. ”

"In terms of power, there is no one under his command to use, and there is not a trace of strength. ”

Liu Xiu said: "A Zhenshan sword, what I got was something on the surface, but it put me in a crisis. That's why the disciple said that if a person drinks water, he knows how cold and warm he is. The suffering is known only to oneself. ”

Huang Chengyan bowed slightly, and his eyes were even more appreciative.

originally thought that Liu Xiu would get carried away, but Liu Xiu's words made Huang Chengyan see Liu Xiu's thoughts.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, this is the practice of wise men.

Huang Chengyan asked, "Since you know the disadvantages of the Zhenshan Sword, why do you want to take it?"

Liu Xiu's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he said: "The meaning represented by the Zhenshan Sword is extraordinary. If it is an official position, it can be discarded, and if it is money, it can also be discarded. But the Zhenshan Sword is different, to some extent, the Zhenshan Sword represents my father, and for me, it may be a talisman that can protect me. ”

After a pause, Liu Xiu said again: "Moreover, men have something to do and something not to do." Opportunities and dangers are in front of us, if we blindly avoid dangers, and we don't even have the courage to face them, how can we talk about big things?"

Sima Hui praised: "It's a good sentence that men do something and don't do something." Boy, I'm optimistic about you. ”

Pang Degong's eyes were full of smiles, and the worry in his heart was put down.

Pound said: "If you know your situation, you should understand what difficulties you will encounter." To get out of the predicament and make a career, you need not only ability, but also perseverance and endurance. Since ancient times, there have been countless people with outstanding abilities, and there are very few who can really leave their names in history. Because in terms of ability, we must also endure what ordinary people can't endure, and we must also be tenacious. ”

Liu Xiu replied: "The teacher's teachings are remembered by the disciples. ”

Sima Hui's eyes rolled, and he said: "In the past, in Lianxiang Building, I once said that I would be a matchmaker for you, but you refused in the world. Now I'll ask you, if I were a matchmaker for you, would you be willing?"

When Huang Chengyan heard this, he glared at Sima Hui.

Pang Degong looked at Liu Xiu with a smile, waiting for Liu Xiu's answer.

When Liu Xiu heard this, he pinched his teeth.

If this matter is brought up directly, can Huang Chengyan feel comfortable? Liu Xiu thought about it and replied: "Mr. Decao wants to talk about the matchmaker for the kid, and the kid understands it." It's just that the kid doesn't plan to get married for the time being. ”

Sima Hui frowned and said, "Could it be that you don't like Yueying?"

Regarding Liu Xiu and Huang Yueying, Sima Hui had already seen it.

Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan also understand.

A hint of anger faintly appeared on Huang Chengyan's face, and he asked: "Yueying is a simple person, what do you mean by taking the initiative to provoke Yueying in the past few days in the house, and now you can't get married?"

Seeing this, Pang Degong scolded: "Xiu'er, explain clearly." ”

When it comes to Huang Yueying's lifelong event, Pang Degong will not be sloppy, and he is even more unwilling to have conflicts between the two sides.

Liu Xiu replied: "Mr. Chengyan, Mr. Decao, the kid likes Yueying, and he also plans to marry Yueying." It's just that it's not getting married now. ”

Huang Chengyan asked, "Why?"

Liu Xiu said: "First, I am now a concubine, and I am not taken seriously, and I am even more in crisis. If Yueying marries me now, she will bear great danger and pressure; second, if I want to marry Yueying, she must marry me beautifully. Now I have no power and no power, and I can't reach it. Third, Yueying is sixteen years old, I am eighteen years old, and it is not too late to be crowned and married as an adult. Most importantly, with an extra year or two to prepare, I am confident that I will reach my goals. ”

After Huang Chengyan heard this, the anger on his face eased slightly.

Pound said fairly: "Your kid's consideration is also reasonable. After a pause, Pang Degong asked, "Chengyan, what do you think of Xiu'er's words?"

Huang Chengyan said: "It's acceptable!"

Sima Hui looked relaxed and said, "It seems that I don't need it anymore, it's just that it's late at night, and I'll rest." ”

Pound said fairly: "That's all for tonight, rest early." ”

The four of them walked out of the study, and Wang Yan went straight to the resting bedroom. Halfway through, Liu Xiu met Huang Yueying. I saw Huang Yueying pinching her skirt with both hands, looking at Liu Xiu, and said with some apprehension: "Master Xiu, is what you said true?"

"What's that?" Liu Xiu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and there was a hint of banter.

Huang Yueying said: "What did you say before?"

Liu Xiudao: "When we made the cylinder car before, we said a lot, what about that sentence?"

Huang Yueying's face was panicked, and after being silent for a while, she plucked up her courage and said, "It's not what you said when you were making the cylinder car, it's what you said in your father's study just now." ”

Liu Xiu walked over and grabbed Huang Yueying's hand and teased, "Okay, you actually eavesdropped." ”

Huang Yueying said forcefully: "I'm just passing by!"

It's just that the tone of her voice is not at all confident.

Liu Xiu looked at Huang Yueying and said solemnly: "Yueying, what I said is from the bottom of my heart. I want to marry you, and I must marry you in style, and I will not wronged you. ”

Huang Yueying's smile bloomed and said, "I'll wait for you!"

After saying that, Huang Yueying broke free of Liu Xiu's hand and ran away.

Liu Xiu watched the graceful figure disappear from sight, and a trace of tenderness appeared in his eyes. As a concubine, his father doesn't love him, and his brother doesn't kiss him, but he still has teachers who support him, and there are lovers who care about him
