Chapter 17 Zhuoxian First Meeting
By the time Liu Bei rushed back to Zhuo County with Liu Ke all the way, there were only five days left before Chinese New Year's Eve. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info received a letter from home before, saying that the brothers didn't have to come back, just follow Lu Zhi. Where is Liu Bei, no matter what, he can't let his mother be alone, and it just so happens that Liu Ke is also homesick. He quit Lu Zhi and Lu Min, and returned to the north all the way.
After leaving for a few months and then stepping on the land he was familiar with, an indescribable taste permeated Liu Bei's heart. But Liu Ke misses Xiao Wu's pancakes very much. Liu Bei took Liu Ke to buy pancakes, and after a while, he learned a powerful news from Xiao Wu's mouth that Hua Taisui died.
"What? Hana Er is dead? When did it happen? This news was too sudden, which made Liu Bei stunned for a while.
"It's the last time Hua Er brought someone to protect the merchant, ouch, Gorou, you didn't see it, good guy, that mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. I heard that Hua Er offended Hao Qiang on the road, and Hao Qiang gathered a group of rangers to chop up all the people in Hua Er's group, and Hua Er's group died cleanly, and none of them ran away, I heard that the heads were chopped off and hung on the tree...... "Xiao Wu skillfully flipped the pancakes while spitting endlessly.
Liu Bei saw that this guy couldn't stop, and the saliva was about to spray on the pancakes, so he hurriedly said: "Okay Xiaowu, it seems that you saw it with your own eyes, yes, concentrate on baking cakes, and my brothers will go home later." ”
Xiao Wu's face turned red, but fortunately, his complexion was too dark to be seen. But he stopped talking, and began to concentrate on serving the pancakes in his hand.
Out of the city, Liu Ke, who was silent all the way, sighed: "Fifth brother, why did our brothers go out and Hua Er died like this?" I want to get revenge on him! It's too. After saying that, he was not puzzled, so he kicked it hatefully, and as a result, he kicked on the big rock, and it hurt so much that he bared his teeth.
Liu Bei laughed so much that tears were about to come out.
As soon as the brothers returned home, the family was overjoyed. Mother Liu looked at her son's face, tears rolled down, she didn't know what to say, just repeated sentence by sentence: "Okay! Good! My son has grown taller again! ”
It's the same with Liu Ke's side, uncle Liu Gong is fine, but when his uncle and mother saw Liu Ke, they hugged him, and their hearts and ears began to cry. Liu Ke took a sneak look, and saw that the fifth brother Liu Bei was looking at him with a wicked smile, and he couldn't help blushing, and began to break free.
Liu Bei knelt down and kowtowed to his mother first, and then went to worship his uncle and aunt, and then went home with his mother. When I went home and had a meal, I inevitably had to talk about the Lujiang incident from beginning to end. When it came to following the army to quell the rebellion, Liu's mother knew that her son was right in front of her, but she was still panicked. After Liu Bei finished speaking, Liu's mother said: "My son, I promised you to go south with Lu Zigan to let you follow your teacher to learn more knowledge, why don't you cherish yourself so much?" The army was dangerous. If there is anything wrong in your battle formation, how can you live as a mother? What will I see after I die? ”
Liu Hong and Liu Xiong were under Jiuquan and said that their knees hurt a lot. Liu Bei saw that the old lady moved his father and grandfather out to press him again, and he had a big headache: "Auntie, I just follow the teacher, and I don't need to go into battle to fight, and the guards of the teachers around me protect me, what's the matter?" I'm not here for good! Besides, a good man has learned an art profession, and he should serve the king. I have the opportunity to see the military formation at this time, how will I fight for the Son of Heaven in the future? ”
This is the first time Liu Bei has shown his ambition in front of his relatives. As a result, Liu's mother's reaction was to get off the couch immediately after hearing this, and said sharply: "Ridiculous! You can follow Lu Zigan to learn some knowledge, and then find someone to dredge up for your mother, so that you can get an official position in the county. When you reach the age, you will marry the Gan family and give birth to a few babies. Live a down-to-earth life! If you dare to join the army, don't blame your mother for not recognizing your son! ”
Liu Bei was stunned by his mother's rare sternness, and you dared to arrange my future directly. Imagine being a grassroots official every day, and when you get home from work, a group of children with snot come over, opening their hands and shouting for their father's hug. The daughter-in-law at the door was holding one in her hand and one in her arms...... Liu Bei couldn't help but shudder, and his face became extremely strange. Also, what happened to the marriage with the Gan family?
Xu saw that her son's face was not good, and Liu's mother slowed down her voice and persuaded softly: "Son." You are in the army to serve the king, but you are not serving the king when you go out of the county? Your only son in our family depends on you to support the court. You can't bear to let your mother worry about you day and night? Alas, think about it. ”
Liu Bei was depressed, he couldn't say that the old lady, the world would be in chaos in a few years, that is, I stayed at home and farmed, and I didn't go anywhere, maybe I would be caught by a warlord. It's better to make yourself strong and catch other people's strong men, so that in the troubled times, you can protect you and protect your relatives.
Seeing that Liu Bei was silent, Mother Liu knew that her son had a strong personality and a right idea, and what she decided was afraid that it would be difficult to change. But in her heart, she secretly made up her mind that she couldn't let her son do dangerous things no matter what, her son was her life and her god. Another day, I was going to find my uncle Liu Zijing, and I said. Mother Liu thought.
At this time, Liu Gong's family was similar. Liu Ke said that Liu Ke's mother cried, and when Liu Wang cried, Liu Gong was annoyed. I finally listened patiently. Seeing the two crying happily, they couldn't help but roar: "What are you crying about!" What are you crying about! Aren't all the people here, all bearded and tailed? Good men are rare, how can they be in the world? ”
After saying a few words, seeing that Liu Wang was still wiping his tears, Liu Gong said: "Don't cry, there is another one in your stomach, be careful." ”
When Liu Ke heard this, he looked at Liu Gong with joy and said, "Father, I'm going to have a younger brother!" ”
Liu Gong's rare old face turned red, and he slapped Liu Ke out: "Go and rest early!" "In these years, it is not surprising that there are many children, and the difficult thing is how to raise a newborn child. After Liu Ke, Liu Wang also gave birth, but unfortunately did not survive.
On the second day, Liu Gong led Liu Bei and Liu Ke to meet his uncle Liu Yuanqi and the old patriarch Liu Taigong. They are all blood relatives who have not yet been outfitted. Looking at the old man with snow on the couch, Liu Bei sighed in his heart, but he was afraid that his uncle would not last long. Liu Taigong and Liu Yuanqi both encouraged them a few words, and Liu Gong took Liu Bei and the brothers to retreat.
The next step is to clean up your home. Liu Bei's house, Liu Bei didn't let his mother do it, he called Liu Ke a few, and cleaned the dust and sundries inside and out, and looked new. Mother Liu only needs to command.
The annual ancestor worship began, under the command of Liu Yuanqi, the people surnamed Liu prepared three animals, lined up in two columns in an orderly manner, and entered the ancestral hall in order to clean their hands, burn incense, and kneel down. The highest god is Liu Zhen, the founder of the Lousang Liu family. Then the following is clear.
After worshipping his ancestors, Liu Bei prepared sacrifices and took Liu Ke to the cemetery of his grandfather Liu Xiong and father Liu Hong, weededs, added soil, and then burned incense and paper to worship.
After all this was done, Chinese New Year's Eve arrived.
Liu Gong asked Liu Bei's mother and son to go to his house together, which was also lively. Liu Bei naturally doesn't care, he often spent the New Year in other people's homes in his previous life, he was at a relative's house when he was a child, and when he grew up, he was at the home of his classmates and colleagues when he grew up. But Liu's mother resolutely disagreed, thinking that it was better not to disturb each other during the Chinese New Year. In this way, on the last day of Liu Beixiping's four years, the mother and son were still lonely.
When it comes to the New Year, it's time to visit, it's time to walk around. Jane's Village has also been there. Liu Bei planned to stay for a few more days, and then went to Donglai Zheng Xuan's uncle with Liu Ke.
Zheng Xuannai is a native of Gaomi County, Beihai State, because his family is too poor, and now he is a guest farmer in Donglai. According to historical records, there were hundreds of apprentices with him at this time. Zhang Xuanzi and Xu Ziping, who were at the beginning, were also studying there.
On this day, Liu Bei and Liu Gong's uncle and nephew sat idle and chatted some gossip. Liu Bei suddenly asked, "Uncle, why did Hua Er die suddenly?" ”
Liu Gong said casually: "That thief, I don't know how many people I have offended." How strange is it that death is death? ”
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Uncle, did you do that Hua Er?" ”
Liu Gong looked solemn: "Wulang, don't chew your tongue, the county is offering a heavy reward for the murderer." Now Zhuojun is looking for thieves everywhere. Your uncle and I are first-class good families, don't bring the trouble to our family. ”
Liu Bei smiled, changed the topic, and stopped talking. In his heart, he decided that this matter must be related to Liu Gong.
On the second day, Liu Gong came to the door and said, "Wulang, go, take you to meet a hero!" Liu Bei asked who it was, and Liu Gong smiled and said that you will know when you see it. But for some reason, I didn't bring Liu Ke.
When he arrived in Zhuo County, Liu Gong took Liu Bei straight to Zhang Ji's old shop, and Liu Bei said: "Uncle, I often come here, and all the wild meat used to be sold to this family." ”
Before Liu Gong could speak, he saw a loud laugh, and a man came out of the door of the store, more than thirty years old, with a white face and a slight beard, dressed in regular clothes, wearing a virtuous crown, and said with a hearty smile: "Zijing is here, Zhang has lost his welcome!" ”
This person Liu Bei recognized, the owner Zhang Bo. Liu Bei turned his eyes to Liu Gong, not knowing what Liu Gong meant by bringing him to see Zhang Bo.
Liu Gong arched his hand and said, "Kuanfu, I brought a certain little nephew to visit you today." But it's a mistake! ”
Zhang Bo returned the salute, "It's okay!" This is the little strong man who fought bravely in the past? ”
Liu Bei hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't dare to be, kid Liu Bei Liu Wulang, meet Uncle Zhang!" ”
Zhang Bo glanced at Liu Bei a few times, and said in his heart, this appearance and demeanor is worthy of being the queen of the Liu family, Lu Zi is high-footed! He hurriedly picked up Liu Bei with his hand, and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew doesn't have to be polite, come in with me!" ”
Through the back door, you will find a courtyard. Zhang Bo called: "Da Lang, come out to meet your Uncle Liu and Brother Wulang!" ”
I saw a young man in the east wing, about ten years old, with a delicate appearance, big eyes, a red face, and thick eyebrows, which was very cute. Zhang Bole said hehehe: "Zijing, this is my dog Zhang Fei, who is a family member, and he is called Dalang." Come, Da Lang, this is your Uncle Liu Zijing, this is your brother Wulang, don't hurry up and salute! ”
When Liu Bei heard the name Zhang Fei, his mind was already blank.
