After learning of Liu Bei's death, Liu Bang was really in a bad mood. But he was just a child, the kind of child who didn't have any lofty ideals, and after a few days of sadness, he gradually returned to normal.

Liu Bang doesn't like to read, and he doesn't have much to do in the house. In the past, he would take a few of his entourage to play on the streets of Xiangyang. But during this time, Xiangyang City was busy moving, and Liu Xin was worried about what an accident would happen, so he had already ordered Liu Bang to be forbidden to go out. Therefore, Liu Bang has been staying in his Changle Hou Mansion recently, and he didn't need to make much effort to protect him, and soon brought him to the State Pastoral Mansion.

For the state pastor's house, Liu Bang has always loved and hated.

Liu Bang can be regarded as the eldest son of the Liu family, and he should have a noble status in the state pastoral mansion. However, in the state pastoral mansion, from Liu Xin and Ma Yun to those maids and servants, their attitude towards him was extremely cold. And his "younger brother" Liu Yu once "showed off" his strength to him, of course, because he bullied Huang Yueying first. In Liu Bang's view, although Huang Yueying is also a little close to the Liu family, she is still an outsider after all, this "younger brother" does not help himself, but helps outsiders, which makes him very unhappy, but the other "younger brothers and sisters" still listen to Liu Yu, the second brother.

Then again, there are delicacies in the governor's mansion that can't be eaten outside for money, and there are many novel toys. Although the toys were for the young "younger siblings" to play with, Liu Bang wanted to play with them, but no one stopped him.

However, this time it was Liu Xin who ordered him to come over, and Liu Bang, whether he loved or hated, didn't dare not come, so he had to obediently follow the guards to Liu Xin.

Liu Xin glanced up at him, suddenly frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter with your clothes?" ”

Liu Bang looked down and found that his clothes were covered with mud spots and stains. When the guards went to summon him just now, he was lying on his stomach in the grass catching crickets and playing, and when he heard that Liu Xin was calling him to go, his legs were weak with fright, and he was almost carried over by the guards, where did he think of going to change his clothes. Facing Liu Xin's fierce gaze, Liu Bang didn't dare to hide it, and told him what he had done in the mansion.

To Liu Bang's surprise, Liu Xin didn't blame him this time, but his frowning brows stretched out, and said: "Bang'er, you're not too young, don't just want to have fun, and read more when you have time." ”

Of course, Liu Xin will not be angry because of this matter. When he was a child, he did not do less things like going into the grass to catch crickets and climbing to the top of trees to dig birds' eggs. Even for the Liu Yu brothers, except for Xi Wen and martial arts, Liu Xin rarely interfered with what they wanted to do and play the rest of the time.

Seeing that Liu Xin was not angry, Liu Bang relaxed a little, pouted and said, "Back to my father, the child also wants to go to the academy like Liu Yu and them, but ......"

Before he finished his words, he saw Liu Xin wave his hand and said, "This is impossible." You are already over the age of admission, and the College has its own rules and will not make an exception for anyone. Well, if you really want to study, I'll find you another teacher. ”

Hearing Liu Xin say that he wanted to find another teacher for him, Liu Bang's expression darkened. The reason why he wanted to go to the academy was not because he was really studious, but because he wanted to have more playmates.

When Liu Bei was still in Xiangyang, he never introduced him to a teacher. It is said that those people are all famous people in the world, and even Guo Jia, Han Opera, Xun Yu, Xun You and others are their students. Xun Yu and Xun You, the uncle and nephew, Liu Bang don't know, but Guo Jia and Han Opera are all important ministers under Liu Xin, even if Liu Bang still doesn't know, Liu Bei will explain it to him clearly. It's just that Liu Bang is really not the material for reading, and every time he meets these people, he is on pins and needles.

Now, Liu Xin is going to find a teacher for him again, presumably he is also a famous person in the world, Liu Bang has a headache when he thinks that he has to face such a boring day again. Liu Bang only dared to think about these words secretly in his heart, and he didn't dare to say them in front of Liu Xin anyway, but the change in his face betrayed him.

If Liu Bang really wants to study, Liu Xin will definitely choose a good teacher for him, and there is more than one. There are so many gentlemen in the academy, let them use their spare time to teach Liu Bang, I believe many people will be happy. But since Liu Bang himself was not interested in reading, Liu Xin didn't bother to spend more effort on him, waved his hand, and said, "There's nothing wrong with you here, go see your mother in the back." ”

Liu Bang was amnesty, and hurriedly arched his hand and withdrew from the study. He was not welcomed in the state pastoral mansion, but the identity of the "eldest son" was there, and he was underage, and there was no obstacle to entering and leaving the house. Although he didn't live in the state pastor's mansion, he had been here many times, and he knew the path by himself, and soon arrived outside the small courtyard where Ma Yun lived, but was stopped by the little maid Guo Zhao.

Although Guo Zhao is two years younger than Liu Bang, he is taller than Liu Bang. Seeing Liu Bang coming, Guo Zhao crossed his waist with his hands, blocked in front of Liu Bang, and said sharply: "Madame is taking a nap, please wait here." ”

After all, Ma Yun is over thirty years old, and this pregnancy is very different from the previous two times, and she is prone to sleepiness. Just now she talked to Liu Xin about something in front of her, and after arranging for the guards to call Liu Bang, she felt a little tired and lay down when she returned to the house. Guo Zhao is such a smart little girl, when she sees her lady sleeping, she naturally won't let anyone disturb her.

Although Liu Bang is afraid of Liu Xin and Ma Yun, he is not afraid of these subordinates, although these subordinates usually have a bad attitude towards him. When Liu Bang saw Guo Zhao stopping him, he was not angry, so he put on the posture of a young master and quarreled with Guo Zhao.

Ma Yun couldn't sleep deeply, but when she heard the noise outside the door, she suddenly woke up, and couldn't help but stand up, and said, "Qiao'er, go out and take a look, who is making a lot of noise outside?" ”

The academy was on holiday, and Liu Yu and Ma Fan did not go to school. However, the brothers have grown up, and they and their younger siblings study, practice, and play together, and they don't need Qiao'er to take care of them. So Qiao'er now stays by Ma Yun's side most of the time and does some needlework. Qiao'er heard the noise outside the door just now, and was about to go out to stop it, but he found that he had already alarmed Ma Yun, and hurriedly said: "Mrs. Huiyu, it seems to be the voice of Zhao'er and the eldest young master, and the slave and maid will call them in." ”

Ma Yun couldn't help frowning and said, "Yu'er? Why did he quarrel with Zhao'er? ”

Qiao'er hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's not Prince Yu, it's Prince Bang." ”

Ma Yun remembered that she had just discussed with Liu Xin about taking Liu Bang into the house to live for a few days, so she couldn't help but nod and said, "It turned out to be Liu Bang." Qiao'er, go and bring him in, and tell Zhao'er not to embarrass him. ”

After a while, Liu Bang was brought in by Qiao'er. Guo Zhao also followed behind with a face full of grievances, presumably being reprimanded by Qiao'er outside. Although they are both subordinates, Qiao'er is the identity of a big girl in the room, and she is fully qualified to reprimand Guo Zhao, and Guo Zhao disturbed his wife's rest today, and it is reasonable to be reprimanded.

When Qiao'er reprimanded Guo Zhao just now, Liu Bang was listening to it. If it was Liu Yu or Ma Fan, the two brothers, they would definitely have to say a few words for Guo Zhao, after all, Guo Zhao also wanted Ma Yun to have a good rest, and there was no other malicious intent. But Liu Bang was different, not only did he not help Guo Zhao speak, but he was a little complacent, feeling that his identity as the eldest young master was at least recognized by Qiao'er.

Ma Yun's attitude today is really different from the past, when she saw Liu Bang coming in, she actually had a little smile on her face, patted her side gently, and said, "Bang'er, come, sit down here with my mother." ”

Liu Bang couldn't help but be a little flattered, and the grievances of many days suddenly turned into tears on his face, and he called timidly: "Mother......"

There is a large-scale orphanage in Xiangyang City, and orphans from all over the country will be sent there, not only Ma Yun and Bian Yu will often go there to visit orphans, but even the Queen Mother He Lian often goes there. These orphans have no father or mother, but under the care of the government, they can still live a life without food and clothing. With so many people living together, I am afraid it is much more comfortable than Liu Bang's life that is like house arrest.

Women are emotional animals after all, seeing Liu Bang shed tears, Ma Yun's heart softened even more, took Liu Bang's hand and said: "Bang'er, you have suffered all these years, so you will live with your mother and younger brothers in the future." ”

"Mother, are you telling the truth?" Liu Bang's heart was overjoyed, he immediately stopped crying, nodded, and suddenly said hesitantly, "But, but ......"

Ma Yun touched Liu Bang's round head, and said with a smile: "Bang'er, take out the appearance of a man, don't always swallow and vomit, what can't you say to your mother?" ”

Liu Bang raised his head and saw Ma Yun's smile on his face, he couldn't help but feel confident, and said embarrassedly: "Just now in front, my father said that he wanted to arrange a teacher for the child, but the child didn't want to, didn't want to ......."

The word "reading" behind this, Liu Bang finally didn't dare to say it. Liu Xin's son is unwilling to study, it will always make people laugh when it is spread out, presumably Ma Yun will not agree, it is better not to say it.

Regarding Liu Bang's recent situation, Ma Yun is also clear. Seeing Liu Bang's stumbling appearance, Ma Yun had already understood what he was thinking, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't you want to study?" If you don't want to read it, don't read it, no one will force you. ”

Because of Liu Bang's special status, Ma Yun also has his own little abacus in terms of his studies. If Liu Bang is studious and motivated, even if Liu Xin and Ma Yun don't arrange teachers for him, he can find some books to read by himself. After all, outsiders know that he is Liu Xin's "eldest son", and if he really wants to learn, he can read any book. But if Liu Bang doesn't like to study, Ma Yun will naturally not force him, is it possible to deliberately cultivate an "outsider" who is a threat to his son?

Hearing that Ma Yun didn't force him to study, Liu Bang became more and more happy and said: "Mother, after that, the child will live at home, can you often see the two beautiful sisters who came that day?" ”
