Chapter 041 History is changing
"Tell me what he is doing in Taogu." Liu Yuanqi ordered a few dishes and ordered wine, and then he slowly said to Liu Bei. From beginning to end, he didn't look at Liu Xiu, as if Liu Xiu was not his son, but Liu Bei was.
Liu Xiu was very puzzled, but he had become accustomed to his father's unreasonable preference in the past few months, and he did not show any unhappiness. He had a calm smile on his face and sat quietly listening to Liu Bei's flirting speech. He was a little strange about Liu Bei's sudden excitement today, and always felt that he seemed a little too enthusiastic. Do you want to show it in front of his father or have another intention?
Liu Bei talked about what happened after they arrived in Taogu, and it was clear and vivid. Especially when talking about the part where Liu Xiu defeated Yan Rou, although he did not see it with his own eyes, he later learned about it in detail with many classmates. At this moment, it was like seeing it with his own eyes.
Liu Yuanqi listened silently, occasionally making a few words, his face calm as if a pool of stagnant water, and was calm. Even when Liu Bei said that Liu Xiu cut off the sword and was almost defeated by Yan Rou, he just raised his eyebrows and did not say a word.
While talking, the wine servants delivered wine and food. The three of them ate and said, and the atmosphere was harmonious. With Liu Bei's spokesperson, Liu Xiu fell silent and ate hard. In a short while, he swept away the plate of barbecue in front of him, and then swallowed a pot of dog meat and soup and water into his stomach. Finally, he touched his stomach with some unsatisfactory feeling.
Liu Yuanqi finally glanced at him, then looked at Liu Bei again, with a gentle smile on his face: "Xuande, is it enough to eat? If not enough, just call a little more."
"Enough." Liu Bei quickly smiled and said, "I am not as capable as my elder brother, these are enough."
"Hehe, he is a rough man, and he only has the ability to eat." Liu Yuanqi took out his purse from his waist, took out a string of money from it and put it on the table, and said to Liu Bei: "You can take this money and go to the cloth market to buy cloth in a while. I will take it back and let your mother make new clothes for you. You are studying with your husband now. If you dress too badly, it will be looked down upon."
Liu Bei thanked him quickly. Tang paid the tuition for him because of Liu Xiu, and felt uncomfortable after all. He made new clothes for Liu Xiu, but did not prepare them for him. He was still wearing patched old clothes. After he finished eating, he wiped his mouth, sued Liu Yuanqi, and rushed to the cloth store to buy cloth.
Only Liu Yuanqi and Liu Xiu were left in the elegant seat. The smile on Liu Yuanqi's face slowly faded as Liu Bei went out. He held a wine glass and sipped a sip of wine, lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Is it okay to study?"
Liu Xiu hesitated for a moment: "Okay."
"What books have you read these days besides practicing martial arts and competitions?" Liu Yuanqi put down his wine glass and said slowly.
Liu Xiu did not dare to neglect, and said the achievements he had recited in the "Book of Filial Piety" and "The Analects of Confucius" these days. Finally, he memorized a few paragraphs at Liu Yuanqi's request. Seeing Liu Yuanqi's face clear, he felt relieved. His father suddenly ran to see them and took them out for dinner. He always felt that it was not that simple.
"I read the book well, but my courageous and aggressive temperament still has not changed." After hearing this, Liu Yuanqi commented: "Also, why did you hurt Xuande's eyebrows?"
"That was an accident."
"Accident?" Liu Yuanqi rolled his eyes, and his tone suddenly became very strict: "Do you know that because of your accident, Li Ding's eyes are no longer there?"
Liu Xiu was stunned and suddenly realized that his father's attitude towards Li Dingshi was a little disrespectful, not like when he mentioned Li Dingdu respectfully called Li Jun. However, his thoughts were soon attracted by what Liu Yuanqi had just said. He remembered the scene when Liu Bei went to invite Li Ding that day, but finally came back with a look of dismay.
"Is this... anything?"
"Of course there is." Liu Yuanqi held the desk with both hands, straightened his body, and suddenly there was an indescribable power. He looked at the empty cup and plate on the desk, but Liu Xiu was a little awesome. Has his father had any adventures recently? Why did he feel like he has become a different person? It was quite inconsistent with the new clothes on his body, just like the beauty on the pink wall who was wearing gorgeous clothes but looked like a maid. However, the new clothes on his body made him look like a rich man who had never seen the world, but his expression was graceful.
"The eyebrows are the longevity official, and they are the blessings and wealth. Once the eyebrows are broken, their blessings and wealth will be broken." Liu Yuanqi said calmly: "Li Ding used to be interested in Xuande because he had a good eyebrows. Although he had suffered a lot, he could achieve a career in the end, so he deliberately cultivated him. But now... Li Ding said that his face has been broken, and he is destined to have no future in his life and no longer has the value of cultivation."
Liu Xiu was stunned, feeling both a little funny and a little scared. He felt funny because Li Ding liked Liu Bei because he had a good eyebrows. He felt afraid because although this was superstition, it has to be said that he was indeed right in his superstition.
He thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Aweng, you said just now that Xuande had a good eyebrow, that is the left eyebrow I had injured? His right eyebrow was originally broken, so it was not a good eyebrow?"
Liu Yuanqi nodded and raised his lips: "The male protagonist has the left, the female protagonist has the right. The left eyebrow is the man's fortune, and the right eyebrow is the wife. Xuande's right eyebrow is a few times, which means he loses his wife repeatedly. However, as long as a real man succeeds and fame, he is worth losing a few wives. But if you hurt his left eyebrow now, his achievements will be gone. If he loses his wife repeatedly, wouldn't he be extremely miserable? How could Li Ding cultivate such a person?"
Liu Xiu was shocked again. Although he was not familiar with history, he also knew that Liu Bei had an "advantage", that is, he defeated his wife. Once he was defeated, his wife was arrested. The second brother Guan rode alone thousands of miles away. Wasn't he just protecting his two sisters-in-law? In Changgupo, Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi were in trouble. Mrs. Mi jumped into the well and died. If Zhao Yun had not killed seven in and seven out, even Mrs. Gan would not have been able to protect her.
Feelings...this is also fate.
Liu Xiu didn't know what to say. If this was a coincidence and was just a blind fool, then this fool would be too accurate.
Liu Xiu suddenly thought, if he said this, wouldn’t his misunderstanding beating have already changed the wheel of history, and inadvertently killed a great hero of the Three Kingdoms? Liu Bei’s life... is too bad. Will he meet Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and will he meet Zhuge Liang? Did he die in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, or in the melee of princes, in the hands of Lu Bu, or in the hands of Cao Cao? Or in the hands of an unknown man?
Is this the Eastern Han Dynasty or the continent where witchcraft is rampant?
"Not only Li Ding was disappointed, I was also disappointed." Liu Yuanqi saw that Liu Xiu's face turned red and white, thinking that he was scared, so he continued: "There are so many young people in the clan, namely Xuande, who is the most talented. In order to help him, I have arguing with your mother for many times. As a result... your inexplicable arrow destroyed all my blood."
After hearing this, Liu Xiu touched his head and smiled mockingly: "Aweng, if you expect Xuande to achieve something and then bring some benefits to our family, it would be a bit unreliable. Li Jun said that he would have to go through many hardships when he succeeded, and he didn't know that it was the year of the monkey and horse month, and our family probably wouldn't be able to count on it."
He didn't lie, as if after Liu Bei became the emperor of Shu, there were indeed no Liu family members around him, and he didn't even hear Liu Xiu's name. As for whether he became cannon fodder or Liu Bei did not promote him, it would be unclear. Anyway, their family should not have benefited from Liu Bei's wealth, and my father lost all his money in this investment.
