Gongsun Yue did not enter the inner house directly, but entered the living room of the outer house through the side door, and in the middle of the night, an old servant carried a wind lamp to guide him, and stopped in front of a room and said, "General, it's here." You go in first and wait, the head of the house will be here soon! ”

Although Gongsun Yue is a martial artist, he is not the kind of reckless man with a rough temperament, he is not a little rebellious but very clear, so when he was in Zhuoxian, he could see and understand better than anyone else, Liu Mansion, the down-and-out royal family, and even the huge mansion didn't even see a few maids serving tea and water.

You must know that the Han Dynasty slaves were the most numerous, (the so-called slaves were not the kind of American black slaves who were not free, but signed contracts, as maids, as small servants, as tenant farmers or mining gods) not only did not have to pay the poll tax (not not collected, but from large households to collect double the poll tax), but also some earned, every month, a bit like a part-time job, and the life is much more enjoyable than the homesteaders at the bottom of the society.

But why does the Liu family still enjoy a good reputation in Zhuo County? It's not because his eldest brother was a county magistrate at that time, let alone has the aura of the royal family, and it won't be that the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, but because the tree has big roots and deep roots. But it is precisely because of his old righteousness and squandering money to help others, otherwise the huge family business would not have declined, but although the goods are scattered, the reputation has risen, and now who is not a Confucian celebrity in Zhuo County who does not come to visit Liu Yuanqi, who has not entered the eighth kitchen but is more famous than the eighth kitchen?

So Gongsun Yue won't, and he doesn't dare to have any shelves, isn't he just waiting in the hall? It's better than many people who have never even seen noodles behind closed doors.

The room is not big, the layout is even more simple, only four seats are placed, the old servant serves Gongsun Yue sat down to pour water for him and put a few plates of pastries and then sang a promise to leave, Gongsun Yue did not overstep, nor did he eat the pastry and drink the white water, so he sat up straight and waited patiently. On the road, if it weren't for the fact that the old lady's birthday was approaching, he would not have rushed so quickly, and the horseback riding would have dragged on for more than half a month with their footsteps, that is, the spring arrived and then returned for a few days, but according to the current situation, after the old lady's birthday, he had to rush back in advance, but it was more important than these to be able to celebrate the birthday of the old lady Liu, and the prestige would definitely be able to boost in Shilin at that time.

Thinking of this, even the wind and snow become insignificant.

The hall is lit by a faint candle flame, you can clearly see that the incense burner has been lit, sniffed, not only relaxed, but also warm, immediately the feeling of dampness and cold in the house has dissipated a lot, Gongsun is a person who knows the goods, knows that this incense must be a precious incense to ward off the cold, but compared with the cold incense that can avoid the cold, the north and south two green cow negative top furnace and lotus furnace produced in the Yue kiln are more precious, as for the east and west two bright lamps are even more promising, it is an ordinary and rare long letter lamp, the long letter lamp is a royal thing, Unless the reward of the Son of Heaven is difficult to fall into the people, and Liu Mansion has two lamps alone, when he sighed in his heart, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, Gongsun Yue straightened his clothes, got up and waited, and soon a middle-aged man in his forties pushed the door and stepped into the hall, and when he saw Gongsun Yue, he immediately bowed down and bowed to the end, and said respectfully: "Liu Zijing has seen General Gongsun." ”

Liu Zijing knows the age of the Mandate of Heaven, is Liu Bei's uncle, whether their family is a royal family is not clear, but it will never have anything to do with Liu Yuanqi of Guangyang Qing Wang's lineage, but it is rumored that Liu Yuanqi often funded Liu Bei's mother and son in the early years, and then the relationship between the two families became closer, and then there were rumors that Liu Bei's family was a lineage of King Jing of Zhongshan, and no one argued about the truth or falsehood, even if it was really King Jing of Zhongshan, it was just a down-and-out royal family.

Gongsun Yue didn't dare to slack off, no matter whether this Liu Zijing was a royal family or not, but just because he was Liu Yuanqi's guest and came here to entertain guests, it was not something he could be unreasonable and unreasonable, and hurriedly returned the courtesy.

Liu Zijing put his wide sleeves in front of him, secretly glanced at Gongsun Yue, and saw that he was respectful and polite, not as arrogant as his brother, and immediately laughed and sat down with Gongsun Yue politely, saying that Xiao Dongsheng was returning home and Yuan Qi was settling down, so that a certain person came to entertain the guests first, so as not to neglect the guests! ”

Gongsun didn't want this Liu Zi to treat him so politely, so he became more and more careful: "The younger generation has a good relationship with Xuande, and the old gentleman is Xuande's uncle, and he is also the younger uncle." He got up and respectfully bowed to the junior, and said, "The little nephew Sun Yue has seen Uncle Liu!" ”

At this time, there was a chatter in the house, and there was also a conversation outside the house, and an old man with snow-white eyebrows turned around and walked away after taking in all the qiē that happened in the house, leaving Liu Bei, who had been beside him, with his eyes wide open and at a loss, and looked inside the house to see the back of the old man in the distance, and finally walked forward quickly and hugged the old man and said, "Uncle is not going to see Zhongdu?" ”

The old man was dusty, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes with a warm smile, he walked slowly and ignored Liu Bei, walked more than 100 steps, the old man was obviously a little tired, stopped and looked at Liu Bei, who did not squeak on the side, and said: "This kid is very polite, different from his eldest brother, just like a soldier and bandit, but tell me which of the two brothers is better to get along?" ”

"Gongsun Chan is straight, Gongsun Yue Neiming, sometimes I don't know what he's thinking, so it's easier to get along with Gongsun Chan!"

"Wrong! The traitor is like loyalty, the loyalty is like a traitor, there is no right or wrong in this world, only truth and falsehood, you see that Gongsun Chan seems to be loyal, but I see that he is very traitorous inside, you see this Gongsun is more like a traitor, but I see that this Gongsun Yue is not only not a traitor, but he wrote his thoughts on his face, without concealing it, so ah, this Gongsun Yue is the person who is worthy of deep friendship, now I know why I don't let you go to Gongsun Zhan? ”

"Got it!" Liu Bei said respectfully, but Liu Yuanqi seemed to have a hint of illusion, as if this would never come out of Liu Bei's mouth, but the reality is that he said it bluntly, saying that the older people get, the more refined they are, not that they really become fine, but many things are seen more clearly, staring at Liu Bei's side face for a while, he suddenly laughed and said You, you, you, in fact, I already knew it, after all, you and Gongsun Zhan are friends of the general horn, so you can see it more clearly than others, right!

Liu Bei smiled, and said to him: "I met someone on the way back this time, if you are not a great loyalty, you will be a traitor!" ”

"Is there such a person?"

"His name is Liu Lan, and his name is Deran......" Liu Bei said here, but found that his uncle's body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly silenced him when he thought of his speech, and after a while, Liu Yuanqi recovered from the pain of losing his son. When he sat on the road with Sanjun, he got acquainted with an old fairy, and later got the guidance of the old fairy to pour out all the family resources, and helped Liu Bei's family in front of him, at that time the old fairy said that this son was still a little suspicious, but after this son grew up, he was convinced that what the old fairy said was true, and this person would have great achievements in the future.

It seems that the old fairy's sentence is not a child, Liu Fei Liu's prophecy is about to be fulfilled, but the old fairy said that there was a catastrophe in the year of virtue, why did he take it as a deaf ear at that time? Fortunately, the rebel son left an heir so that the Liu family would not die, and this matter could be put down.

Thinking of putting it down, Liu Yuanqi remembered that the grandson whose name Dongsheng didn't have a name and surname yet, why don't you just take and put it down?

Liu Fang, Liu Fang, although you put it down, you and my ancestors and grandchildren were not abandoned by that unfilial son!
