Chapter 264: Go or Stay?
Chapter 264: Should I leave or stay?
Luo Aman's words are still so ugly.
After meeting Luo Binwang and Lao Liu and the others in the evening, Liu Yi took him to the study. Looking at the fonts written by Luo Binwang, Liu Yi couldn't help but shook his head slightly. Although these words were much better than before, they were still much worse than normal people's standards.
It seems that it is difficult to train Luo Binwang to become a famous calligraphy scholar.
"The horizontal should be flat and the vertical should be straight. If you use the characters to describe people, then these basic strokes are just the roots of one character. If the roots of the bones are not straight, the font will be difficult to form," Liu Yiu looked at Luo Binwang and said softly: "The most important task now is to write these most basic strokes correctly before you can seek changes on them. You must know that no matter how you write this character, no matter how you write, whether it is a line, a cursive, or a clerical, or all changes, you must not be separated from the roots. The roots and bones must be correct."
"The most standardized 'Liu's calligraphy' is the horizontal and vertical," Liu Yipeng picked up a pen and drew a few strokes on the paper, saying: "First draw the simplest strokes, just like building a foundation for a house. These strokes are the foundations of the bottom. Although they are usually inconspicuous, if they are not there, the house will not be a house."
"Persevere!"
Liu Yi put down his pen, and these four big characters appeared on the white paper. They were written and drawn by Liu Yi with the most basic strokes and slowest movements.
"You have a good understanding, and then follow the teaching materials you gave to you before, and practice these most basic strokes first." Liu Yiuan stuffed his brush into Luo Binwang's hand, and put on a teacher's style, saying: "In the future, every time you write a picture, you will use it for your teacher to read it. When your strokes can pass, your words will be small."
"Yes, teacher, students will not let the teacher down." Luo Binwang took the brush with both hands, bowed respectfully to Liu Yi, and then began to draw horizontal lines on the white paper on the table.
"This study will be yours in the future. I live not far from your master's wife. If you have any questions, you can ask directly. Well, if you have time, you can also learn with Erzhao. Reading and doing knowledge is the way. Don't delay your studies by practicing calligraphy." Diligent can make up for your shortcomings. Seeing Luo Binwang's hard work and willing to learn, Liu You chuckled and nodded, then said a few more words, then turned around and went out.
It is June 10th, and the weather is getting hotter and you are already sweating slightly while wearing a thin shirt.
Liu Yiuan took a round from the house and fanned it, swaying in the yard with a fan.
Liu Wuchen had already returned from Chang'an before dinner, and by the way, he brought back the eight servants whose right leg was broken by Hou Junji. After hearing from Liu Wuchen, although his legs were not well-behaved after these days of care, his injuries had basically stabilized. I think he would be able to stand up and walk in another month or two.
However, Liu Yi knew in his heart that after he got better, these eight people would become lame men, without exception.
Therefore, Liu Yi always felt a little guilty about them. Without feeling it, he walked around the front yard, left the gate, and entered a small courtyard on the left side of the house. The eight people were now resting here.
"Young Master!" Seeing Liu Yi came in, Wang An, who was responsible for taking care of the injured here, hurriedly came up and bent over to salute Liu Yi.
"Wang An? Are you in the horse house? Why did you get here too?" Liu Yi looked at the little groom walking out of the house with a little surprise, waved at him with a round fan, and then asked him.
"Go back to the young master, the villain is now temporarily responsible for taking care of the injured brothers in the house. The matter of the Ma Fang is temporarily handed over to Manager Ma to manage." Wang An bent over and replied to Liu Yi.
"Oh, you're intent." Liu Yiuan suddenly thought that it seemed that Wang An was the one who was responsible for arranging these eight people to stay. He nodded to Wang An. Liu Yiu started to walk into the house and said to Wang An as he walked: "After their injuries heal, you should go back to the horse house. Horses are not a good material for raising horses. Those horses cannot do without you."
"Yes, young master, thank you for yourselves." Wang An looked at Liu Yi from behind, and then bent down. The young master could trust and value him so much. Some time ago, he taught him the art of raising and taming horses without any hiding. Wang An couldn't help but feel some gratitude in his heart.
"Young Master!" "Young Master!"
Eight people lay side by side on the bed. When they saw Liu Yi coming in, they sat up one after another and bent over to greet Liu Yi.
"Okay, okay," Liu Yi waved his hand at them and said, "You are all injured and have difficulty moving. You don't have to do any more etiquette. You are all lying on the couch and don't move around."
Liu Yi bent over and sat down on the chair handed by Wang An, looked at the eight people on the couch with a gentle smile and said, "I came here today just to see your injuries. Don't be infected. Now, does the wound still hurt?"
In addition to the first time he had an operation with them, Liu Yiu had no time to visit them because he wanted to meet the old man Hou Junji. Now that they were in good spirits and inspiration, he felt relieved.
"Thank you for the blessing of the young master. After these days of big fish and meat care, the wounds no longer hurt. People have gained a little weight, but they can't walk down the ground. In a short period of time, I'm afraid I can't play for the young master anymore." A yellow-faced servant bent over and replied to Liu Yi.
"Oh, hehe, your name is Chen Mingze, right?" Liu Yi looked at the spoken servant and remembered that he was the worst injured at that time. His calf bones were almost broken. It took Liu Yi some effort to treat him. Liu Wuchen also mentioned him in Liu Yi's ear, so Liu Yi could only remember his name.
Liu Yi looked at Chen Mingze lightly and said apologizing: "Of the eight people, you are the most serious. Whether you can go to the ground in the future is still unknown. This time, I blame my young master for being a poor mind, which has caused you all to suffer such a great sin and caused you to suffer."
"Young Master, what are you saying? These are all what we servants should do." Seeing that Liu Youxuan said such an apology, Chen Mingze hurriedly waved his hand and asked the boss to apologize to their servants. How could they bear it?
"This is nothing. If you have any mistakes, you have to admit it. This time the Liu family owe you," Liu Yiuan looked up at them and said, "You should have known that your right leg will be cured in the future and will leave some after-effects. It will not be as flexible as before. This is Liu's fault."
"Before, I have come to tell you that if you still want to have something in the Liu Mansion in the future, your work will be as doubled as before. If you don't want to, I will give you some compensation. Fifty-treaty coins plus your identity contract, and you will be free." Liu Yiu continued: "No one will force you to choose these, and choose whatever you think in your heart. If there are other conditions, you can also propose it. As long as it is not too much, the Liu Mansion will try to satisfy you."
After saying that, Liu Yiuan glanced at the faces of the eight people. Except for Chen Mingze, the other seven were all happy, fifty taels of money, although not much, it was enough for them to build a new house, buy a field, and buy a strong plowing ox.
This is the money they have been servants in ordinary families for the rest of their lives and they have not saved enough money. It is very tempting for them. They have worked hard all their lives, and Isn’t that what they are trying to do?
"I won't leave!" Chen Mingze respectfully bowed to Liu Yi and said, "As long as the young master does not dislike the villain's inconvenience of legs and feet, the villain is willing to follow the young master for the rest of his life."
Only a fool would leave. Chen Mingze secretly glanced at Liu Yiyi, and then glanced at the seven people beside him disdainfully. The young master could even beat the Minister of War and even the guards of the Eastern Palace could invite him. With such a capable person, will he be able to short-sighted in the future? He would not only see the little benefits in front of him.
"Haha, I said that as long as you are willing to stay, Liu Duan will not let him down." Liu Yi looked at Chen Mingze with a smile, nodded gently, then looked at the other seven people, and said in a warm voice: "Where are you, do you want to leave or stay?"
Seeing that these people had some hesitation on their faces, Liu Yiu continued, "Don't worry, Liu has never broken his promise. You can say whatever you think. No one will force you, and no one will blame you."
"Well, young master, we have difficulty in legs and feet, and we don't want to cause any trouble to the young master anymore," someone finally started to speak, and said to Liu Yiuan noddedly: "We all want to go home, so please help me."
Judging from their appearance, it seemed that they had already agreed, but they didn't dare to say it out of their feelings.
"Haha, everyone has their own ambitions, you don't have any guilt in your heart." Liu Yi said to comfort them, saying, "After your injury heal, you can go to Butler Liu to get fifty coins of silver. Those contracts for selling their bodies are also with Butler Liu. He will take them to you at that time. As for Chen Mingze, please stay in the mansion."
