Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan said goodbye and looked at Liu Xiu who was left behind. He felt mixed feelings. He looked at Liu Xiu apologetically and left the yard with his head down. Although Gongsun Zan was still a little excited, he still noticed Liu Bei's uneasiness. He smiled slightly: "Xuande, are you worried about your eldest brother?"

Liu Bei laughed dryly in a low mood: "It's all my fault for being angry for a moment, which has implicated my eldest brother."

"You don't have to be so nervous." Gongsun Zan smiled mysteriously, "I can guarantee that your elder brother will be fine. Maybe there are some opportunities that you and I dare not imagine."

Liu Bei was stunned and looked up at Gongsun Zan. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he believed it a little. His originally dull eyes also became more agile. He thought for a while and said with a smile: "If this is true, it would be better, so that I would not always be uneasy."

Gongsun Zan wanted to speak but stopped. When he was about to walk to the door of the dormitory, he suddenly said, "Xuande, Mr. Xuande, I have seen us, I guess I won't teach today. I want to go outside to see the scenery of Taogu. Are you interested in accompanying me?"

Liu Bei's eyes rolled and agreed happily. The two of them left the monastery, walked along the Taolin for a while, and then walked dozens of steps along Taoxi. Seeing that no one around stopped, they found a stone by the stream and sat down. Gongsun Zan tilted his head and looked at Liu Bei, and said with a smile: "Xuande, what kind of person did you, your eldest brother, used to be?"

Liu Bei did not answer him immediately, but picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it into the water. He quietly looked at Taoxi, which was rippling with the water and peach petals. After a while, he said: "I told you before that he is in good health and strong, and he is unstoppable when fighting. Even if he is a small number of people, he rarely suffers losses. However, I also said that he is not very good at thinking about it. Now he thinks... it seems that he is not very good at it."

Gongsun Zan called Liu Bei outside to find out about Liu Xiu. Liu Bei told him that Liu Xiu was a little brave, but he didn't like reading. He was a stupid man with a simple mind. However, from a short day of interaction, he felt that Liu Bei's statement was a bit problematic. Although Liu Xiu was not good at reading, his eyes were bright and his words were free. Not only did he not have a silly feeling, but on the contrary, it made people feel that he was a little cunning. In addition, he was vague about the beautiful calligraphy, which made Gongsun Zan a little suspicious.

After hearing what Liu Bei said, Gongsun Zan believed in his judgment even more, and he listened quietly to Liu Bei's words.

"Actually, my elder brother seemed not stupid. I remember my mother said that when he was reading, he was faster than most children. He didn't dare to recite it in detail. He was much faster than others. But he really didn't like reading. He didn't finish reading, whether it was Cangjie or "Qijiu", and it was even more so when he studied "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Book of Filial Piety". However, this problem happened when he saw the book, but it was a matter of later, as if... it seemed to have something to do with his Anweng."

"His Ahon?" Gongsun Zan became even more curious.

"Because of not studying hard, he was beaten by his Anweng several times. Not only did he not correct it, but it became even worse. He was deliberately curing his anger." Liu Bei seemed to be talking to himself, thinking while saying, "Later, his Anweng was disappointed, always saying that he was useless and was a waste from the future, saying that he was not as good as me, and then... it became like this."

"His old man is probably a little anxious to succeed." Gongsun Zan was relieved. "As parents, they always hope that their children can have a promising future. In fact, in my opinion, what does it matter whether they are studying or not? With your elder brother's good health, even if you don't study, you can still make some military achievements in the future."

"It's a pity that although Emperor Gaozu said, 'If you don't have to be granted a title for a marquis, it's better to fight the world together," my great Han Dynasty is not as easy as those scholars who have military achievements now. It's better to be granted a marquis if you leave your sons and daughters." Liu Bei sighed and kicked a small stone into the water with his feet, and a splash of water splashed with a "pop".

"No, even if it is Duan Taiwei's military merit, it is necessary for A Fu eunuch to be the Taiwei. On the contrary, those scholars who have never even killed one person will never leave the position of the Three Dukes." Gongsun Zan sighed with a similar feeling: "From this point, it's no wonder that Deran's Ahn is so anxious, it's just a pity..."

Liu Bei smiled silently without answering, staring at the undulating mountains in the distance in a daze.

Lu Min explained the situation to Liu Xiu and sought his opinions. Liu Xiu was overjoyed and of course he couldn't get it. He immediately agreed. Although being a scribe does not mean that he had been with Lu Zhi, it was a good opportunity after all. This progress came to the temple on the first day, which exceeded his expectations, and there was no possibility of being dissatisfied.

When Lu Min saw that he responded, he was very happy and asked about his studies in detail. Liu Xiu did not dare to boast about this point, for fear of revealing flaws, so he dared to lower himself, almost saying that he was an illiterate person who could not read a word. In fact, although he had not put any effort into ancient characters, he was not unfamiliar with seal script because of calligraphy and seal carving.

The two of them talked for a while, and Lu Min asked Liu Xiu to go back and make some preparations. He went to see Lu Zhi himself and told Lu Zhi exactly what Gongsun Zan introduced just now. After hearing this, Lu Zhi remained silent for a long time and finally said: "Zi Xing, please help me draft a letter and tell Cai Boyi and Yang Boxian about the situation here. If the court is not married, I am worried that I will turn to the expedition again. Most of the affairs of the border counties in the court are unknown, let alone the eunuchs around His Majesty. If you have a lucky mentality, you will be afraid that something will happen."

Lu Min didn't dare to neglect and nodded repeatedly.

Lu Zhi said again: "You send someone to the city and tell Li Ding what Gongsun Zan said. He has some friendship with the governor and the prefect, so he must have a chance to make a comment. Although Zhuo County is far away from the border, it is not far out of reach. It is always good to prepare early."

"Here." Lu Min bowed again and said, seeing that Lu Zhi had nothing else, he got up and went to write a letter. After writing it, he gave it to Lu Zhi to read it. Lu Zhi picked up a few words and asked him to come out to find Liu Xiu, and asked Liu Xiu to copy it clearly. Then he took it to Zhuo County and sent it to Luoyang by official post.

When Liu Xiu heard that he was sending Cai Yong, he did not dare to be careless. According to Lu Min's request, he wrote it in neat official script. He carefully checked it twice before handing it over to Lu Min to collect it. Lu Min took him to the study and taught him to tie the wooden slips with thin ropes, fill it with green mud, and then print Lu Zhi's private seal, and then rushed to Zhuo County.

Lu Min went to do business, and there was no possibility of teaching for a while, and Lu Zhi did not arrange the copying task immediately. Liu Xiu returned to the dormitory, took out the book slip brought by Liu Bei, and started his homework. Soon, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei came back. As soon as they entered the door, Liu Bei looked at Liu Xiu's face carefully. Seeing that his face was normal and he was not as angry as yesterday, he felt relieved. He gave Gongsun Zan an admiration and said happily to Liu Xiu: "Brother, what did you say when you keep me?"

"It's nothing, it's just giving me time to copy articles for my husband." Liu Xiu said lightly.

"What?" Liu Bei was shocked, and then he showed an envious look: "You are going to study next to Lu Jun?"

Liu Xiu shook his head repeatedly: "It's not about reading, it's just copying."
