Liu Lan and his entourage went to Chengzhong City first, skinned the tigers, and then took their leave, Zhang Fei still had to deal with some housework, and he would not be with them for the time being, so when Liu Lan, Li Xiang, and Guan Yu returned to the post station, it was already dusk.

The Lantern Festival has passed for several days, this is the first Lantern Festival that Liu Lan came to the end of the Han Dynasty, but it is on the official road in a hurry, the front of the pavilion is extremely busy, all the post guards are dismantling the lanterns that have been extinguished a few days ago, and when they come to the gate of the post station, they will see the post man who is busy from afar.

The relationship between Yicheng and Gongsun Yue is extraordinary, I heard that both of them had the experience of joining the army in their early years and were comrades, and then the two retired from the army to Zhuo County for some reason, one became a thief and one became a thief Cao, which can be described as Gongsun Zhan's heart and right-hand man, but for some reason Gongsun Chan went to Youbeiping as a lieutenant and did not bring this thief Cao, but the new county monarch sent him to the post station, which his grandmother did not love and his uncle did not love.

Yicheng is generous and polite, although he doesn't have much friendship, and he doesn't even know his name and surname, but now he lives in the post house, he doesn't look up and look down, and he always wants to come forward to say hello when he meets him, and says with a smile: "Yicheng, do you want to help?" ”

"No need, you go back and rest, by the way, have you eaten, if you don't have me, I'll arrange someone to do it for you!" Yi Cheng said with a smile, he has seen too many martial artists, but this Sima in front of him is not vulgar, and chatting with him is like a spring breeze, and he can feel that he wants to help from the bottom of his heart, but he still declined Sima's kindness, such a big post station, raising so many people, if you even need to pick up a lantern with human help, then these post guards can roll up and leave!

"We've already had dinner, so let's not bother Yicheng!" After Liu Lan said goodbye to him, he took Guan Yu and a few people into the museum, but after walking a few steps, Yicheng's voice sounded behind him:

"Wait!"

"What's wrong?" Stopped by Yi Cheng, Liu Lan turned around and asked, his eyes flashing and he didn't know what he wanted to do when he suddenly shouted.

Yi Cheng walked up, patted his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "My memory is really a pig's brain, I almost forgot Liu Xuande's advice!" ”

"Didn't Yi Cheng already say it yesterday?" Liu Lan smiled, this memory seems to be really a pig's brain.

"No, it's Liu Xuande who came several times yesterday and today and couldn't find you, let me tell you that your birthday is three days later, don't forget jì!"

"So fast!"

"Others ask for it but can't get it, but Sima is too fast, fortunately I'm not a jealous person, otherwise wouldn't I have to ask for it because of this?" Yi Cheng shook his head and laughed mockingly, but there was a little gloomy in his expression, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this person really has to die compared to people! Pretending to have a sad expression, he said: "Sima, do you know who the participants are, either the famous and promising families in Zhuo County or the county guard, do you think I should be jealous of you or should I envy you!" ”

Liu Lan laughed dumbly, he didn't expect this Yicheng to have a rich expression and witty words, although it sounded a lot worse than the jokes and humor of later generations, but there were still some signs of cold jokes, and his heart moved, and said: "Yicheng values Liu Yuanqi's birthday so much, why don't you go with me then!" ”

Yicheng was moved in his heart, no matter whether Sima's words were true or not, but he knew that the threshold of the Liu family was high, and not everyone could enter it. In his heart, he became troubled by gains and losses, and said in a lazy and discouraged manner: "It's good that Sima goes, after all, the Liu family only invited you alone, and what can I do if I go?" Inevitably, I will be ridiculed by some snobs, and instead of taking humiliation on myself, it is better to stay in my little post house, and besides, there are still many things to do in the post house! ”

Listening to the voice, Liu Lan could hear from the words of the post how much he was looking forward to being fortunate enough to attend Liu Yuanqi's birthday, but he took the initiative to refuse his invitation, saying something grandiose about the post house having something to do, but now this post house has nothing to do besides settling him more than 100 people to eat and drink every day? But why didn't he mean it? By the way, he just said that the Liu family has a high threshold and there are snobs, is it because of these? Thinking of this, Liu Lan, who was reluctant to participate in the birthday celebration, immediately fell into a trough, and he felt that this birthday should not be suitable for him either.

Yi Cheng seemed to be seen through by him, his heart trembled, a layer of embarrassing flush appeared on his face, standing in place with a cowardly expression like a little daughter-in-law, for a long time, Yi Cheng, who did not want to be so embarrassed, hurriedly opened the topic and said: "By the way, what congratulatory ceremony did Sima prepare?" If you are not prepared, why not let me help you with the details? ”

"It's ready, it's a tiger skin!"

"A tiger skin? I'm afraid that's not right, right? After all, Liu Fuzi is not like a martial artist like Sima who likes tiger skin blades, so it is better to change, the four treasures of the study and even the classics! ”

Liu Lan shook his head: "If I want to send something from the mouth of the post man, or a martial artist?" On the contrary, it seems nondescript! ”

Yi Cheng thought about it carefully, and immediately figured out where the joints were, and said with a smile: "Sima has really thought about it!" ”

The two talked for a while and then left, after returning to the house, Liu Lan planned not to go in three days, just send He Yi, first of all, he didn't have much intersection with this Liu Yuanqi. The second is Dongsheng, he has to know the truth sooner or later, instead of continuing to lie to him, it is better to let him know the truth earlier, although this excuse is very far-fetched, and he likes the child even more in his heart, but sooner or later he will have to leave, he will return to Youbeiping and return to Lulong, life and death are uncertain, instead of giving him hope, it is better to let him face the reality earlier.

The third is that he is similar to the appearance of 'Liu Deran', and the second is similar, Liu Yuanqi, who has experienced the pain of losing his son, sees that he will only wake up the dusty memory, and the blow to him is unprecedentedly huge.

It's just that when I thought of Liu Xuande, who had run several times for this reason, I was inevitably a little reluctant in my heart, and turned his second and third brothers over, if I didn't go to celebrate his birthday, it seemed that I wouldn't give Emperor Zhang Wu face!

Don't think about it, take one step at a time, at most show up at that time, say hello to Liu Bei and leave, so that Liu Bei's face is enough, and he can avoid Liu Yuanqi, wouldn't it be more than one stone?

I poured a bottle of wine, came to the window and opened the window, only to find that there was a light snow outside the house, and it was said that it was a good year, but there were three snows in the whole winter, and it was about to enter spring.

Suddenly, he thought that the county guard would participate in Liu Yuanqi's birthday, should he mention it to him? But then he smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart, even I, a later generation, could have imagined that the county lord who was well versed in farming in this era would not have imagined? If the Taishou who has done something is afraid that it has already been arranged, if it is a corrupt official, even if he says 10,000 words, he will not try to remedy it.

If the power is small, the right to speak is small.

Liu Lan raised his head and drank all the wine in the bottle, well, the wine is good, the taste in the wine is relatively mellow, it is not a loss of official kiln brewing, it is more fragrant than the mellow wine in the private workshop!

The wind rises.

Liu Lan shrunk his neck and closed the window, let's sleep, there are some things that I think about too much, so I disturb myself!

I'm a philistine.
