Chapter 002 Reading is useful
Liu Xiu was not used to Tang's intimacy. He gently pushed Tang's warm hand away, but felt a little unbearable. After a while, he said, "Mother, I really want to read some books. If I can't read, wouldn't I have to face the loess and the sky and be a farmer for the rest of my life?"
Tang's thick lips moved, his eyes squeezed hard, and hesitated, "That... Didn't you say that you had a headache when you saw Shu Jian? The pen holder was heavier than this stone lock? In order to let you study, it was useless for you to break a few thorns, why...why..."
"Then...that's the past." Liu Xiu was also a little embarrassed. He did not like reading so much.
Tang was still a little bit skeptical, turned around and thought for a while, and said hatefully, "It's all the sweet words of the little clerk. Oh, you, you're so big, you can't afford to cheat by the clerk. You don't even listen to my mother's words. It's really..." She stomped her feet in a bit of apology and shook her hand unwillingly: "You think about it carefully, and say it's okay in front of me. When you come to your Ang, you will not only have to spend a lot of money in vain, but I'm afraid you won't be able to regret it."
Liu Xiu remained silent. He could see Tang's love of licking his calf clearly, but he was not her son now. It was impossible for him to be tall and big like the person before, but he did not care to act coquettishly in her arms. Moreover, the reason why he was willing to study was to be able to get on Lu Zhi's big tree, not to make a name for himself, but to leave Zhuo County, a place of right and wrong. In his impression, the Yellow Turban Rebellion also affected this place. Liu Bei started his family by killing the Yellow Turban. Although he now has a good body, he did not want to participate in this turmoil and lose his life in vain.
At noon, "father" Liu Yuanqi came back in a ox cart. He was dressed very grandly today, and the new clothes that had been hiding at the bottom of the box were clearly creased. Although he did not wear a crown, he wrapped a brand new headband, which was paired with his national face and three short strands of whiskers, which was somewhat majestic.
"Are you going to study?" When Liu Yuanqi heard Liu Xiu's words, he also showed a strange look. The corners of his mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh. He looked at Liu Xiu up and down, and he rarely reached out and touched Liu Xiu's forehead. Then he tried on his forehead to confirm that Liu Xiu did not have a fever now. He reached back and glanced at Tang, who was still angry, and waved: "Go and prepare orders of wine and food, I want to have two drinks with Ashu."
Tang, who was sulking, was stunned, opened his eyes wide, as if he had heard something incredible, and then he was overjoyed again. His thick waist twisted and floated out like a light butterfly. From a distance, her cheerful voice sounded from the kitchen.
Liu Xiu was a little sad. It seemed that in the impression of "mother", the "dad" had never been so intimate with his "son".
Liu Yuanqi turned around and sat down on the mat in the middle, then pointed to the seat next to him, signaling Liu Xiu to sit down. Liu Xiu hesitated for a moment. Although he felt that it was too tiring to kneel down, he walked over for safety reasons, sat down properly, then placed the hem of his clothes, and then stroked his hands on his legs, making a gesture of washing his ears.
Liu Yuanqi kept looking at him, with a rare appreciation in his eyes. After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Has Xuande been here?"
"Um."
"I asked him to come." Liu Yuanqi said bluntly. He paused and said again: "Li Ding invited me to go there to discuss asking him to study. I know you don't like studying, but this opportunity is rare. Lu Jun is a rare scholar in Zhuo County. Even the entire Han Dynasty is a talented person. If he is studying with him, he can gain more knowledge even if he fails to do the classics. He knows that it is not amazing that he has the strength."
Liu Xiu frowned, why are there still thorns in his words?
"I don't know if you really want to study, or if you were moved by Xuande." Liu Yuanqi glanced at him again and said lightly: "As long as you are willing to go, this is a good thing."
Liu Xiu remained silent, with no expression on his face, but felt sad for the deity who had no idea where he went.
"Lu Jun is both civil and military, and discusses classics. He is Ma Fufeng's disciple. He has achieved considerable attainments in both modern and ancient scriptures. In terms of politics, he has outstanding achievements in his post as a member of Jiujiang. He is a rare pillar of the country. If he was not healthy, he had been highly valued by the court. If he had not had the opportunity to return to Zhuo County to teach apprentices, this is a rare opportunity. Don't miss it." Liu Yuanqi said while looking at Liu Xiu. Although his tone was still a little cold and blameless, compared to his previous indifference, Liu Xiu finally heard some of the warmth that father and son should have. "Lu Jun is not a pedantic person who is proficient in writing. He is knowledgeable about Meiji. It is your blessing and my family's blessing, which will be of great benefit to you in the future."
Liu Xiu nodded repeatedly, but was amused. If he knew the real reason why he wanted to study, he would not know if he was still interested in talking about these things.
Tang quickly prepared a few cold dishes and served them happily. Seeing that Liu Yuanqi in the hall had a bad tone, he did not get angry. Liu Xiu lowered his head and was also very quiet. He was even more happy. She kept saying, "Son, it's rare that you, Old Man, are so happy today. Just drink a few glasses with him. Don't worry, eat slowly, wait for my mother to cook a few more dishes, and then come to drink with you father and son." As he said that, without waiting for Liu Xiu to agree, he walked out with a light step. He quickly brought a wine jar and placed it next to Liu Xiu, squeezed his eyes at Liu Xiu, and signaled him to drink with me Liu Yuanqi.
Liu Xiu nodded and frowned at the wine jar about the height of his calf. Although he knew that the wine was not high at this time, and it was most similar to beer, even if it was drunk, even the beer could not hold back. He didn't know how strong his body was now. Although he was so upset, he did not dare to show his timidity. He reached out to pull off the straw rope from the wine jar, pulled off the sealing mud on it, and pulled off the oil paper on it. A smell of wine came to his nose. He got up and picked up the wine jar and was about to pour wine for Liu Yuanqi. His eyes glanced and he was shocked.
Why are there lees in this wine? I am so happy that I took the wrong wine jar? He stood up and was about to go to the kitchen to change it. My Liu Yuanqi called him, looking puzzled: "Where are you going?"
