Bell Period Meets Glory (3)

Geng Yi laughed when he heard this, and Liu Xiu invited Ma Wu to eat and drink to his heart's content. During the banquet, the three of them were staggered, Ma Wu ate eight steamed buns alone, swept away most of the wine and meat dishes, Liu and Geng each ate three steamed buns, and there were only six left on the table.

The three of them were talking to themselves, and the shop was becoming more and more crowded, and the road was bustling with pedestrians. In the flow of weaving people, a pair of maids urged the carriage to the side of the store, then jumped out of the car, set up a small stool, and invited its owner to enter the store.

There was an old man in the carriage who paced out first, but he was nearly half a hundred years old, and he sniffed the agarwood lightly, which was very graceful. Then a woman came out, about seventeen or eighteen years old, Shaohua is stationing, and she is really beautiful, it is: the eyebrows of the distant mountains are like emeralds, and the green silk of Muyun is like a waterfall. The long body is jade and the appearance of the hibiscus, and the spirit is peaceful and leisurely.

The woman hurriedly stepped forward to hug the old man, and said warmly: "Father's foot disease has not healed, this time His Royal Highness has invited my brother to serve you, you don't have to come in person." "Its sound is jade, warm and moderate, and it looks very decent. The old man smiled: "This little illness is very tight, and a good girl doesn't have to worry about it." The woman said, "Rao is so, you need to be careful." The old man said, "I know for my father." As he spoke, he looked at his beloved daughter and continued: "This time in Xiangyang, you can pick out a few favorite jewelry by the way." The woman smiled and said, "My daughter's jewelry is enough, so I don't have to buy it anymore." The old man said angrily when he heard this: "That's only a few things, you are eighteen, you should dress up carefully, hurry up and find a good family." The woman said, "If any man looks at me dressed gorgeously, he will have the idea of admiration, and he will not marry him." The old man sighed: "I really don't know what kind of character you are looking for, for my father to lead you to His Highness's mansion this time, I will definitely find a good talent among the children of the Wang family." ”

When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and then said perfunctorily: "Let's go into the store." After that, he helped his father in, Wen Yan called the shopkeeper, and asked, "Dare to ask the shopkeeper, is there a room here?" The shopkeeper bowed and replied: "Several guest officers are really unlucky, there are no rooms at this time." The old man said strangely: "Usually when I go to Xiangyang, the guest room is not so nervous." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the prince is now banqueting Xiangyang and the surrounding counties and counties, and everyone is rushing to come over today, and the guest rooms are all full." ”

After hearing this, the old man was about to lead his beloved daughter to find another place to stay, when Liu Xiu called loudly: "Uncle Yin is slow." As soon as the words fell, he stood up, borrowed it from others, and stepped forward to salute: "The little nephew greets my uncle." Seeing this, Geng and Ma also stepped forward to greet him.

Look at the official and guess who the father and daughter are, first show that the old man's surname is Yin and Lu, but it is actually after Qin Guan Zhong. That Guan Zhong once lived in the phase of Qi State, assisted Huan Gong to dominate the princes, and his seventh great-great-grandson Guan Xiu moved to Chu State, and was named Yin Doctor, and then took Yin as his surname. At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Yin clan moved to Xinye and became a local noble clan. Yin Lu, as a descendant of Guan Zhongyan, is in charge of the entire Yin clan, with thousands of hectares of fertile land, and more than 100 servants in the family. The beloved daughter of Yin Lu is called Lihua, who is a famous beauty in Jingxiang, and because of her gentleness, frugality, mercy and love, she is highly valued by her elders. When many sons of the scholar clan saw that she should be out of the cabinet, they had already broken the threshold of the beauty, but they did not win her heart. Yin Lihua has a cousin named Deng Chen, and it just so happens that the person is Liu Xiu's brother-in-law, and it is because of this that Liu Xiu was able to get acquainted with the girl.

At this time, Yin Lihua suddenly met Liu Xiu in the store, and she was both surprised and happy in her heart, so she didn't wait for her father's words, and asked softly: "Uncle Wen•••••• why are you •••••• here" Liu Xiu smiled and said: "I'm here to take care of some things." Then he continued: "I haven't seen my uncle and sister Lihua for a long time, and I always miss it in my heart. ”

Yin Lihua smiled and was about to speak, Yin Lu snorted lightly and said, "I think your old husband is fake, but the idea of beating my daughter is true." Yin Lihua tore off her father's clothes and said peacefully: "Uncle Wen's eldest brother is full of kindness, how can my father treat him like this." When Yin Lu heard this, he frowned, squinted at his beloved daughter, and said, "I have a lot of good intentions." He turned to look at Liu Xiu and said, "The old man has warned the virtuous nephew a long time ago, don't associate with my daughter again, and hope that the virtuous nephew will remember it." ”

Ma Wu burped, suppressed his resentment, and shouted: "The old guy has a good nephew on the left and a good nephew on the right, but how can he talk like an animal." Liu Xiu interjected: "Don't be unreasonable. Ma Wu continued: "The eldest brother is angry with this bird for no reason, and it is too light to scold him. ”

When Yin Lu heard such words, it was as if he had been slapped by someone, his cheeks couldn't help but heat up, he suddenly felt stagnate, and said in a trembling voice: "This •••••• this is the friend made by the virtuous nephew, and he didn't even know about respecting the elders. If the old man really allows you to marry the little girl, how can he rest assured••••••" As soon as the words fell, Yin Lihua said: "Uncle Wen has always admired his father, his good brother is just drunk, and Uncle Wen is a very good person, and the brothers gathered must be good men who understand righteousness." His attitude was gentle and mellow, Ma Wu heard this, and felt that what he had said before was inappropriate, and before he could speak, Liu Xiu hugged his fist towards Yin Lu and said: "The little nephew has apologized for his brother, and I hope that my uncle will not be angry and hurt himself." Geng Yi smiled and said, "Exactly, exactly." We don't have the heart, you have a lot of adults, and you won't meet the juniors. ”

Yin Lu was noncommittal, and then said: "Since the virtuous nephew has seen the courtesy, the old man took the little girl to say goodbye and went to find another place." Liu Xiu said: "Uncle doesn't have to work hard, the little nephew and the brothers just have two guest rooms, enough for you to live and rest, and I will leave Xiangyang tonight, it is better to give up the guest rooms now, you and Lihua will rest in peace, it will save trouble." ”
