Chapter 102: Hitting the Wrong Bell
Liu Bancheng didn't expect that the Jin Dynasty also had dragons and pearls.
What Liu Bancheng didn't expect was that Long Tuzhu grew in different environments with different postures, perhaps following his master's state of mind.
It turned out that when he was in Xiangshan Hall, Liu Bancheng also raised a pot of dragon spit beads next to the dark green stone.
But the characteristic of the long soil bead in that pot is that she also blooms, but the flowering is the flower with white leaves that blooms first, and it is not a dragon spit pearl.
It is a flower of the bag type of the white hexagonal child.
After that, the hexagonal white flower bag turned pink again.
And this pink flower blooms for a long time, about half a month, the old one retreats, and the new one grows out, and it looks good on the windowsill.
This is in Liu Bancheng's mind, this may be the natural state of the dragon spitting pearls, it should grow like this, it looks like this, it is called the dragon spitting pearls, he has asked many people where the pearls of the dragon spitting pearls are spitting, and many people can't answer.
But since moving to the west wing of the Liang family ancestral hall,
Liu Bancheng cut another branch on the original branch and sprouted again, and he also gave himself a hint that re-germination was like starting anew.
But strange to say, in less than a month, this new bud also bore flowers, and it was a hexagonal white flower, one after another.
But the difference is that each one does contain a dark red bead in the middle.
Liu Bancheng watched this red bead grow day by day every day, and then broke through the six-pack white petals.
When you spit it out, it turns into four small red leaves.
There are also two tender yellow curly teeth sticking out of the center of the flower and leaves, which are very beautiful.
He admires this flower every day, and every day this pot of flowers receives sunlight and sprinkles well water.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Bancheng has been living here for almost two months.
He was accustomed to the task of pulling the bell every morning at five o'clock in the morning, that is, at six o'clock in the morning.
After pulling the bell, you can see the guards in the city running towards the Liang family ancestral hall in groups, and then line up in the square in front of the ancestral hall to report.
At this time, Liu Bancheng would climb the ladder in the southeast corner of the courtyard and look out, feeling that the training of the guards of this dynasty was also quite interesting and methodical, and that the troops of this dynasty were not stricter than the modern army management.
Every time Liu Bancheng looked forward on his stomach, the old man behind him who was bowing his back was sweeping the yard and kept looking at Liu Bancheng.
Maybe he was afraid that Liu Bancheng would fall, or maybe he wanted to talk to Liu Bancheng and chat, Liu Bancheng felt that he had seen groups of troops again, which was quite fresh and interesting.
As soon as the evening came, Liu Bancheng had to pull the rope and hit the bell in time to remind the guards in the city to rest.
Day after day, cycle after cycle.
Liu Bancheng got down from such a busy post as the head of Xiangshan Hall, he had never enjoyed such a comfortable day, the workload was not large, and there was no pressure, there was no intrigue between people, and at the same time, there was no willingness to ask others for instructions, and he was unwilling to serve others.
Because Liu Bancheng really doesn't like to do the work of serving people.
I think he was also a son of a noble family at the beginning, and he was the eleventh generation descendant of the Liu family in Huainan.
The Liu family is no less famous than a nobleman in his hometown.
Especially his grandfather Liu Shilu, who was a famous lobbyist in Tun'er.
He not only led the family to open up wasteland and farm, but also opened a powder shop, a blacksmith shop, and a Chinese medicine hall.
is also a well-known lobbyist in front and back. This has been stated in previous chapters.
Old lady Liu is very famous, and even the local beard respects him for three points.
Whoever dares to grab the beard, but he doesn't dare to take care of the old Liu's family, and every time a team of beards rides past the door of the old Liu's house, the whole team has to dismount.
When I entered the hall, I had to pay homage to Mrs. Liu.
Because the old lady often gave their horses a doctor, and when the horses were fighting, the old lady persuaded them to be lobbyists. In addition, the old man is also able to calculate, and he has the special function of breaking things in the air.
Therefore, because of the fame of the old lady, the Liu family is a big family in the local area, and it is a very influential family, so Liu Bancheng is also a more promising generation in this big family.
Although he later became a small stonemason in another country, the glorious family history of their old Liu family cultivated and nurtured his innate sense of superiority, and he was unwilling to grovel and look at other people's faces.
Now there is no way, because he carved the wrong people's tablet, he has to be reduced to this dynasty to wait for the opportunity to find the person he is looking for.
But now, in this environment, except for the old man, the two of them have been here for more than two months, and they haven't spoken a few words together.
However, this old man also has a characteristic, he is particularly diligent.
Get up on time at 6 o'clock every day and practice a breath of Baduanjin in the yard, which in Liu Bancheng's opinion is to stretch his arms and legs deeply.
But the old man's feet are very powerful, and he often steps on the ground with smoke and dust, and the ground feels a little trembling.
Therefore, because the old man is diligent, Liu Bancheng summarized his rules, every time the old man gets up to exercise, it is exactly 6 o'clock. The old man has no watch, but he is so punctual every day.
So Liu Bancheng thought of a way, so he continued the rope that pulled the clock for a small stretch, and then pulled the string to his west wing, handed the string through the window, and tied it to the head of his bed.
In this way, as long as he heard the movement in the yard, there was a movement of slapping the ground, beating his chest and punching his fist, Liu Bancheng looked at his watch, and it was 6 o'clock, so he pulled the bell rope at the head of the bed, and there was a trembling sound in the courtyard.
Liu Bancheng thinks it's very fun, and thinks that this errand, this job is idle and comfortable, and the salary is still paid.
However, after the salary was received, there was nowhere to buy anything, because the old man went to the street to buy vegetables and came back to cook for him to eat, and he didn't do anything, he ate ready-made, and he was so idle that he was so idle.
Until one day, he heard the old man in the open space there was a clang, there was a sound, although not as powerful as in the past, but he knew that the old man got up again, so Liu Bancheng subconsciously pulled the bell rope, and then heard the sound of the copper bell from outside.
Pull it three times, five times each. After that, he fell asleep.
But Liu Bancheng, who was sleeping, was awakened by the noisy sound of the gate.
Outsiders in the ancestral hall shouted loudly.
"Who's inside, open the door, open the door quickly!"
Liu Bancheng opened the curtain.
He noticed that the light was very dark today, and thought it was a cloudy day, but even if it was cloudy, it was not so dark!
The door of the ancestral hall was closed again, and the door was opened with a clatter.
The old man should go out after practicing his fists and feet.
Liu Bancheng hurriedly got dressed, ran to the courtyard, pulled out the door bolt, and a group of people surrounded a tall general and crashed in.
"What are you doing, who rang the bell today!"
Liu Bancheng took a few steps back and said, "What are you doing, it's Liu Bancheng." I rang the bell today. That's right, what's wrong? ”
The adult glared at the beads and said, "Use your dog's eyes to see what time it is, and who told you to ring the bell so early." ”
Liu Bancheng had his own watch, raised his hand and looked at it, "Ah, it's just 5 o'clock!" ”
When Liu Bancheng was looking up at his watch, a big foot had already flown over, and Liu Bancheng fell to the ground without reacting.
The general was not idle, "From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, this is the first time that our Liang Kingdom has gathered an hour in advance, and you ring the bell in advance without getting an order, what should you be guilty of."
Liu Bancheng looked out from the gate, and there were indeed thousands of guards gathered here.
He rang the bell an hour early, and was responsible for training the chief of the guard, thinking that there was some special military action, and organized the team to assemble and report according to the procedure, but the general who organized the training did not know what special tasks he had, so he guessed that it was the bell-ringer who was playing ghosts.
At this time, the old man ran in from outside in a panic, his face covered with sweat.
"This official, please tell me something!"
After describing the situation, the general said angrily, "This is simply a mess of my military discipline, I will punish him, cut off his dog's head and establish his military authority!" ”
The old man hurriedly pulled the instructor to the side, and after a few words, he saw the general coming back violently,
"You kid counts you as fate, and the old man intercedes for you, even if you pick it up, remember it, be more energetic in the future, and if you knock it wrong again, you will never be spared!"
After saying that, he took people and left.
Liu Bancheng collapsed to the ground, and his ribs hurt all the time.
He didn't understand, how could he hit the wrong time today,
The same old man got up to exercise, he pulled the rope, how could the time be an hour earlier?
At this time, the old man came and helped him up.
"Child, in the future, pull the rope, we have to grasp the time, our duty is such a task, we can't cause trouble to the court!"
Liu Bancheng asked, "You said uncle, every time you get up, I grasp this point to pull the rope and hit the clock, for so long, I have been doing this, how can I be an hour ahead today?" ”
When the old man heard this, he smiled bitterly, "It has nothing to do with you when I get up and you pull the clock, you have to control your own time." ”
After a long time, Liu Bancheng found out that the old man had to go out at 5:00 every day, and then came back at about 6:30 when everyone had dispersed.
He found that the old man got up at 5 o'clock in the morning every day and went out with a woman, only then did he know that the old man was also proud, and people in this era also have twilight love! It's really youthful.
