As the saying goes: a thousand people have a thousand faces.

In the face of the floods in the whole Huaxing County, everyone's mood is different, the children who don't know how to worry are having fun in the water, the young and middle-aged people are sad about this year's harvest and livelihood, the women are basking in the chaff on the roof, and the old people who are dying are staring into the distance and sighing at the way of life and death nurtured by the great river.

However, no matter how wind and rain you are outside, in this light sound pavilion, there is still singing and dancing.

The Linghe River flooded the first floor of the Qingyin Pavilion, which did not disturb the chic elegance of the young masters who came to play, and the pavilion master Xu Jian spent some effort to make the rabbit fur incense mat that had not yet been flooded and surrounded outside the wine bowl hot.

The guests sit on the rabbit fur incense mat, and the dancing girl singer gently twists slowly, shuttling through the water, dancing and moving, splashing the graceful figure, splashing out of the tight body one by one, which has a unique taste.

It is said that at the beginning of Dongfang Chunsheng and Liu Quansheng's master and apprentice, the main songs in the pavilion were "Zhou Nan" and "Zhao Nan".

The two of them had no intention of appreciating Fengyue, and went directly through the atrium of the Light Sound Pavilion to the backyard.

A year has not arrived, and in the backyard where Dongfang Chunsheng once recuperated from his injuries, plum blossoms and small pines are still the same, but there is no small bridge and flowing water. Liu Desheng, who was responsible for the affairs of the consul general, and Yang Guan, who had a seven-pronged and exquisite heart, had already waited quietly in a high house, and the weak-crowned willow who had entered the realm of fallen horses sat bored on the branches of the pine tree, not even looking at the two masters and apprentices in the east.

However, if he knew that Liu Quansheng was a literati in the realm of things, he would probably drop his jaw in shock!

Liu Desheng saw Dongfang Chunsheng and Liu Quansheng coming, and greeted each other slowly, he said happily, "The third brother and Dongfang seniors came to the cold house, but they failed to welcome guests thousands of miles away, and it is really a sin to drive by the Ling River. ”

Liu Desheng said that he was guilty, but his face was proud.

Since Liu Xing, the head of the Liu family, handed over the responsibility of consul general to Liu Desheng, it is not an exaggeration to use the four words of hesitation to describe Liu Desheng in the past year.

Last year in Wangbeilou, although Liu Desheng was engaged in engineering Xie Wei lost face, but he listened to his wife Yang Guan's dedication to the plan, in the clan discussion strongly recommended his brother Liu Ruisheng to lead the canal repair, harvested the reputation of the duke's selflessness, coupled with his after-the-fact management, some people were deceived by it, and he was worshiped as a saint.

In the year following the assassination of Liu Desheng, Liu Desheng concentrated on three things.

The first thing is that he secretly supported Xu Jian to expand the Qingyin Pavilion, and ordered Xu Jian to secretly carry out peach transactions and power and money transactions, taking the opportunity to win over Huaxing officials and recruit them for their use. After all, he still has a deep-rooted father who controls the overall situation, Liu Xing has been operating in Huaxing County for most of his life, and if those officials who are good friends with Liu Xing are made to change their camp by a few bribes from Liu Desheng, wouldn't Liu Xing be very faceless?

The second thing, Liu Desheng took advantage of the Lingyuan dart game to dart, wantonly snared the rivers and lakes recklessly, as a thug, some ruthless ruffians and hooligans, have joined the Lingyuan dart game, from the point of view of numbers alone, the Lingyuan dart game has been on par with the 800 soldiers still in charge of Liu Ruisheng, and this is only Liu Desheng's strength on the surface, his strength in the dark, I am afraid that it has far exceeded Liu Ruisheng;

The third thing is to closely monitor Liu Quansheng and wait for an opportunity to get rid of him. But who is Liu Quansheng? After Dongfang Chunsheng took Liu Yi away, this world's great talent hidden in the deep alley, exerted his hands and feet more freely, he was like a loach into the stream, Liu Desheng's tricks can always be skillfully resolved by Liu Quansheng, out of fame, 'Liu Desheng eradicated Liu Quansheng' This dish can not be served on the table to eat, and the appearance of eating can not be too ugly, so it can only be slowly drawn.

After Liu Quan set fire to the North Tower, the two brothers never met again, and today's meeting will surely create endless sparks.

When Dongfang Chunsheng saw Liu Desheng, he began to take the initiative to show goodwill, and said with a smile, "The old man has just returned from a trip to Bozhou, and when he saw the disaster of this Ling Yuan, he was grateful for the kindness of his son last year, and he was very worried about his son. I came here today, firstly, to thank the son for his rescue last year, and secondly, to see how the son's situation is doing, and whether there is anything that the old man can do? ”

Liu Desheng suddenly thought in his heart, "Hmph, the weasel greets the chicken." ”

However, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, but Liu Desheng made a flattered look on his face, hurriedly stepped forward, and Liu Quansheng left and right, supported the old man's left and right arms, and said softly and respectfully, "The knife is sharpened on the stone, people practice in things, my father entrusts the family business to me, and the younger generation is tired and not in the way." I only want to live up to the efforts of the ancestors of the Liu family and the expectations of the people of Huaxing. Even if Desheng is tired, it is worth it. ”

Dongfang Chunsheng thought so, and pretended to be serious, "Huaxing County and Lingyuan Liu family can have such a talent as Gongzi, it is really a blessing!" ”

Liu Desheng was very happy in his heart, and he helped Dongfang Chunsheng to move forward slowly with Liu Quansheng, and introduced Yang Guan who was standing on the side.

Briefly introduced, Dongfang Chunsheng nodded slightly to Yang Guan, and Yang Guan pressed his left hand with his right hand, bent his knees slightly, bowed his head deeply, and after making a normal salute, he followed behind the three of them in broken steps.

The group slowly walked towards the two-story hut at the end of the road, which was the place where Dongfang Chunsheng first recuperated from his injuries.

Sit down, Yang Guan made tea, and the three of them began to chat.

"The old man was born in a famous family, he knows a little about the method of looking at qi, and he sees that the son's heavenly court is full, the momentum is reunited, and the vitality is vigorous. But the old man wants to advise the son, the body is the foundation of everything, and you must not work too hard, and finally put the cart before the horse! ”

Dongfang Chunsheng looked like an elder, and taught Liu Desheng earnestly, if outsiders saw it, they really thought it was a good scene of father and son's filial piety.

"Thank you for the care of your seniors, and the younger generations should remember it."

After Liu Desheng finished speaking, he looked at Dongfang Chunsheng with a spring breeze on his face, obviously hanging the appetite of this pair of masters and apprentices, he wanted to see what was going on here for this pair of masters and apprentices who had nothing to do with the Three Treasures Palace.

"Yes! With such a big family, you don't need to think about it to know that the eldest brother will not stop living. Liu Quansheng raised his eyebrows, complimented him, took the teapot in Yang Guan's hand, and took the initiative to pour tea for Liu Desheng.

Liu Desheng enjoyed it very much! Before the age of twenty, his three younger brothers were proud of their talents and empty eyes. After returning from Chang'an, his third brother became a hermit in the city again, and never poured a cup of tea for his eldest brother.

This moment is the pinnacle of his Liu Desheng's life!

Liu Desheng's fluttering was watched by Yang, but she didn't remind her, just silently brewing tea.

Dongfang Chunsheng looked at Liu Quansheng and asked suspiciously, "Oh? Where does this begin? ”

Liu Quansheng said a little distressedly, "Hey, the teacher doesn't know anything!" After his father retired, such a big Liu family, internal affairs, foreign affairs, personnel, and clan affairs, relying on the support of the eldest brother alone, is also hard! The third brother is not here, I only think about teaching and educating people, and the second brother always causes trouble for the eldest brother, this is the big shopkeeper of the Liu family, it is difficult to be a big shopkeeper! ”

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. The two younger brothers just think about what they think in their hearts, let go and do it, with the eldest brother as the backing, don't be afraid! Just have fun! ”

Liu Desheng's heart was very happy, even happier than when he received the approval of the consul general in his father Liu Xingfang a year ago, and the tense atmosphere between the two sides suddenly eased.

Since ancient times, we will get carried away.

Seeing that Liu Desheng was a little out of shape and lax, Yang Guan still watched from the wall, just boiling tea and pouring tea.

Liu Quansheng wasted no time in picking up another sentence, and said sincerely, "God bless, the second brother this time the general leader Huaxing repaired the canal, but released the water dragon, but it invisibly fulfilled the eldest brother!" ”

"Oh? What did the third brother say? ”

Liu Desheng took a big sip of tea, some came back to his senses, and went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, it seems that the pair of masters and apprentices are definitely not as simple as compliments when they come here today.

"Hey, forget it, forget it, don't talk about it! If the eldest brother is interested, he will find out if he goes to the market and inquires. Liu Quansheng's expression suddenly became richer, and he looked at Liu Desheng with some reluctance, "Big brother, the third brother came today to bid farewell to the eldest brother..." ”

"Oh? Third brother, this, where are you going? Could it be that the heavenly family issued an edict to conscript? ”

Liu Desheng's interest was suddenly raised, he was very concerned about the whereabouts of his younger brother, if he really became a big official in charge of one side, how could he have a good life for Liu Desheng?

Therefore, as long as Liu Quansheng said the words 'His Majesty has been recruited', he, Liu Desheng, would not hesitate and do his best to keep Liu Quansheng in Lingyuan City, even if he tore the last layer of face between the brothers, it would not matter.

"Big brother misunderstood! Over the years, my younger brother has neither learned nor made any achievements, how can he get a special edict from heaven? Liu Quansheng turned his head, looked at Dongfang Chunsheng affectionately, and said, "After the teacher returns from his trip in Bozhou, he will return to Yizhou Criminal Famous Villa, and he will never live in seclusion. Because of old age and weakness, and there is a wish that has not been fulfilled, I want to invite me, a disciple, to serve on my knees, listen to face-to-face teaching, and ghostwrite a compendium of mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty, which will flow in future generations, and it is not a vain world. ”

Changing places to write books in seclusion?

Liu Desheng was a little incredulous, his eyes were deep, and he asked, "Really?" ”

Liu Quansheng nodded and said sincerely, "When the flood subsides, the teacher and I will get up and go." This farewell, brother, will not come back, the past is good or bad, the eldest brother will take care of it, the future will be joyful and sad, the eldest brother will think about himself. I hope to benefit the people more, kill less, and pass on the incense of my Liu family from one line to another. ”

After saying that, Liu Quansheng stood up, gently put down the wine gourd, tidied up the dark cloth robe, leaned over and lowered his eyebrows, raised his hand to increase his forehead, bowed ninety, and got up again, and at the same time his hand followed the eyebrows.

Since he was a child, Liu Quansheng has never saluted Liu Desheng so respectfully, which flattered Liu Desheng and believed what Liu Quansheng said.

Looks like he's really leaving!

After the big salute, Liu Quansheng turned around and left, without looking back.

Dongfang Chunsheng got up tremblingly, nodded slightly to Liu Desheng and his wife, picked up his precious apprentice's wine gourd, and left slowly.

"Don't send it!"

......

At his feet, the clear water of the Ling River swayed leisurely, and some splashes mischievously rushed to the threshold and pounced on the trouser legs of Liu Desheng, who was standing at the entrance of the house and overlooking him.

watched Liu Quansheng drift away, and the scene of the three brothers playing in the river when they were children slowly emerged.

Growing up, everyone has a secret in their hearts, and those days of climbing mountains during the day, looking at mountain fires in autumn, drinking horses at dusk, and crossing rivers at night can never go back!

Liu Desheng turned his head and hugged Yang Guan with tears and laughter.

"Over the years, he hasn't changed! As long as he Liu Quansheng hasn't changed! ”

......

The red sun is like a fire, and the hearts of those who burn and sink in the big waves have regained a trace of warmth.

Zi returned to the school, and the master and apprentice sat on the transparent school steps, two pairs of big feet leisurely fiddling with Linghe water, which was indescribably leisurely.

Liu Quansheng muttered to himself, "Today's trick to the eldest brother led the snake out of the hole, and I don't know if the eldest brother will be tricked!" ”

Suddenly, Dongfang Chunsheng looked at the clear water in surprise and said in surprise, "Hey, hey! Kwon Sheng, fish! There are fish, there are fish! ”

Liu Quansheng also looked surprised and said with a smile, "Where is it?" Where? Teacher. ”

"Hurry up, close the door first, oops, close the door first!"

"Okay!"

......

Now that everything is predestined, just do good deeds!

If all is not predestined, just do good deeds!
