Liu Yuanqi liked this young man more and more, and nodded secretly, although he was a martial artist, he didn't have the slightest vulgar appearance at all, he couldn't be said to be gentle and elegant, but he could be regarded as magnificent.

Liu Lan was panicked by the strange look, he heard that this Liu Yuanqi is a great Confucian, which is very different from the history he knows, but it is really the first time to be panicked by such a powerless old man, he took a deep breath, and didn't want Liu Yuanqi to open his mouth and ask: "I don't know what year Liu Sima was born?" ”

"The first year of Emperor Hengxi!"

"The first year of Emperor Heng Yanxi (158 AD)?" Liu Yuanqi pinched his fingers and said: "That year should be the year of Wuxu, so you are already twenty-six this year, and it is not small!" Liu Yuanqi remembered this year most clearly, because Emperor Heng was Liang Ji who was killed in this year.

Liu Lan didn't understand why Liu Yuanqi asked him this: "Yes, they are twenty-six years old!" ”

Liu Yuanqi really didn't know how to speak, just now I wanted to ask him if he had a marriage contract, but he still didn't say it for a long time, he opened his mouth at this moment, but he sighed and swallowed back what he wanted to say, the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird, Liu Lan stared at Liu Yuanqi with big eyes and watched Liu Yuanqi keep opening his mouth and closing his mouth and sighing, and then opened his mouth and closed his mouth and sighed.

"Old Liu, who are you?"

"Well, I'll tell you the truth!"

Old man Liu finally swallowed all the words that came to his mouth, and he planned to forget it like this, so he didn't want to be asked by Liu Lan and aroused the thoughts in his heart, so he completely let out this old face, and said: "I heard that you haven't married yet, so is there a marriage contract?" He has investigated that Liu Deran is not married, but he doesn't know if he has a marriage contract, for the sake of safety, it is better to inquire about such details first.

Liu Lan understood all this sentence, no wonder Liu Yin would appear, it turned out that this Liu Daru wanted to recruit me as his son-in-law.

Liu Lan couldn't cry or laugh: "There is no marriage contract." ”

"That's good!"

Liu Yuanqi smiled and said: "You are now Sima of other departments, Lu Longsai Lieutenant, although you are not an official, but you are also a Xu official, sooner or later one day you will be selected as filial piety, as the so-called starting a family, marrying a well-informed woman as a wife is the top priority,." ”

Liu Lan said with a straight face: "It's just that the kid doesn't have such an idea for the time being, so ......"

Liu Deran said solemnly, "Deran, you can't say that, now that you have a career, it's time to think about starting a family!" The so-called unfilial piety has three, no queen is big, I heard that you have lost your sale since childhood, and you are the only one left in the old Liu family, if you have an accident in the frontier, won't the old Liu family be extinct? When you see your ancestors, how can you explain to him! ”

After a pause, he said, "You've already seen the little girl, tell me what you think?" ”

Liu Yuanqi started his family but was the king of Guangyang Qing of the Han royal family, although the family road fell into the middle of the camel that was better than the horse, and Liu Deran was a well-known Confucian, Liu Yuanqi did not believe that Liu Lan would refuse, from the perspective of private morality, the young girl was virtuous and virtuous, and he was a rare beauty with his mother, even if it was from another point of view, he Liu Lan climbed the Liu family, and he didn't dare to say that his future was settled in this Youzhou realm. In the future, Qingyun will not dare to say that he will be in the civil service, but the military attache will always be able to make him rank at the rank of the Son of Heaven, which Liu Yuanqi is still confident in, whether it is for him to dredge up contacts or Liu Deran's talent.

So the most important thing now is that Liu Lan agrees or disagrees, as for whether the follow-up birthday is approved, he doesn't dare to think about it for the time being, and he wants to ask for a name without Na Cai, it's too early.

Thinking of the little girl Liu Lan, who is only fourteen years old, she can't agree no matter what, although Lori is good, she is too young after all, if she really starts, it will be no different from **, and said: "Miss Liu is a good girl, gentle and graceful, knowledgeable......"

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "You agreed?" ”

"I can't agree, because Yin'er just treats me as an older brother, and he only treats me out of brotherly and sisterly affection. And I'm the same, I've never thought about him, and I'm treating him like my own sister! Liu Lan said very emotionally, because Niuniu's figure appeared in front of his eyes again, if he was still alive, he would be almost as old as Liu Yin, right? No, it should be a few years older than her, thinking of this, he can't agree, his ideal partner is no more than three or five years old, but unfortunately in the Han Dynasty, the twenty-six and three or five years old partner is almost impossible unless the night raid **.

Those who should be married are married, and those who shouldn't be married are also married, so Liu Lan has almost no choice, it is inevitable for the old cow to eat the tender grass, but he knows that there is no Liu Yin in the tender grass, because he is the amiable and respectable brother Liu Deran in her eyes.

"Why are you so unsophisticated? She treats you as a brother, and you treat him as a sister? What an angry old man! Liu Yuanqi looked angry.

Liu Lan said slowly: "Please forgive me Liu!" ”

Liu Yuanqi sighed, his old face was as red as an apple, shame, shame! But in shame, can he still go to the strongman? The twisted melon is not sweet, and his son is not an example? sighed: "Since you don't want to, then I won't force it." ”

Liu Lan found that the old man suddenly became very depressed, and wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Liu Yuanqi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I can understand!" Then he greeted the three people: "Come with me!" ”

Liu Lan hesitated step by step, stopped several times, he really felt a little sorry for the old man's kindness, but think about the sister-like Liu Yin sighed and couldn't delay her happiness for a lifetime.

Liu Lan, who was thinking about it, followed Liu Yuan into a hall, and the three couches were placed in a zigzag shape, but there was one more Liu Bei sitting under Liu Lan's hand, and a hearty breakfast had already been prepared on the couch at this moment, and the old man wanted to come and not eat meat, so it was mostly vegetarian dishes such as bracken, but the three of them also had a fatty steamed carp in addition to these, and the bronze three-legged wine jar was not rice wine but crystal clear fruit wine Pu Tao wine.

"It's been a long time since the morning food, and I just let my subordinates make some food because I wanted to drink this pu pottery brew to celebrate...... Liu Yuanqi smiled bitterly when he said this, and said to Liu Bei: "Although there is no need to celebrate, since you have already prepared, let's have a good drink, Xuande, you must greet the guests!" ”

Liu Yuanqi didn't mean to leave, but as for greeting good guests, he couldn't get drunk like their young people when he was too old, so it would be good to have a little taste and talk about it.

A few people drank Pu Tao wine, and on this fish and meat and boiled vegetables of various colors, they heard Liu Yuanqi ask Liu Lan with a smile: "What kind of food does Deran eat in Lulongbian?" ”

"The staple food is only bread, but although I eat a lot of cakes, I will be hungry again after a few laps, and I can't see that there is no oil and water in the stomach, so I will take some grain and exchange some dried meat with the people, but I can't just eat bread and meat, and I usually go to find some dandelions or other weeds to stew and eat. However, sometimes there will be soldiers who secretly go to the tiger head to call the ferry to touch some fish and come back, and I will turn a blind eye, which can be regarded as letting them fight tooth sacrifices and change tastes. ”

Liu Yuanbi Quge nodded www.biquge.info and said: "I have also heard that the border army soldiers are hard, I remember that Liang Ji or Dou Wu proposed to the Son of Heaven to improve the food of the border soldiers, but because of the huge expenses, it was finally gone. ”

"It's a pity, the imperial court has the difficulties of the imperial court, but most of these border troops are uprooted from their hometowns to serve in the border passes, even if they don't improve the food, but they should also change the regulations of service a little, I have a kid from Jiaozhou, the first day he came was covered in frostbite, no matter how good the wound medicine is, he can't do it, and he didn't finish the five-day service, and the whole person fell down......"

Liu Lan was very touched by the scene at that time, although it was not what he experienced, but it was deeply in the mind of 'Liu Lan', which made people sad.

"Alas!"

A few people in the house sighed for a long time, Jiaozhou, I finally came to Youzhou after trekking through mountains and rivers, it was okay in summer, but it caught up with winter, and as a result, a life was confessed.
