Jincheng flower hour

Liu Hong's cousin, Liu Chang, is also handsome, but he is honest and honest.He originally had a wife, but because of disagreement, he returned to his natal family.This ex-wife didn't give Liu Chang any face at all. After separation, she immediately remarried. Although her husband was not as old as Liu Chang, the husband and wife were in harmony.

Going to a foreign country to marry a wife, these things will naturally not be known to the King of Shu and his daughter Yan Jun.However, the atmosphere is like this, so many women remarry, so it doesn't make people care too much.

After arriving in the Kingdom of Shu, Liu Hong also heard that the daughter of the King of Shu was really mediocre and old, so no one should dislike anyone, everyone is happy.

Liu Hong accompanied Liu Chang to the Palace of the Shu Palace for a banquet tonight. Several envoys from the Kingdom of Shu came together, including Liang Yu, an old acquaintance of the King of Shu.Liang Yu went to Shu many times as an envoy, which was appreciated by the king of Shu.

The land of Shu is rich and rich, although the palace is small, the utensils inside are precious and ingenious, even the supplies of the emperor of the Xin Dynasty are nothing more than that.The king of Shu was so desperate for extravagance that he was afraid that the wealth of a country would be collected in the palace.

Such a state of Shu reminded Liu Hong of the scene when he and his father invaded Xinguo in winter, and the city of Chang'an was full of starvation.Emperor Ai of Xinguo sat on the rhinoceros horn, ivory, pearls, jade, and gold when the city was broken, accumulating firewood and making money, looking like a miser.

It was the first time for Liu Hong to see the King of Shu. He was a short, fat, and ordinary man. If he took off the clothes of the king, he would look like a simple and honest old farmer.However, after talking with the King of Shu for a few words, Liu Hong felt that people really should not be judged by their appearances.

"I heard that the King of Han had a son who was exiled in the land of Shu. It must be this son."

The King of Shu pointed at Liu Hong, who was sitting in the upper seat, drinking leisurely.

Liu Hong's life experience is quite legendary, so it is not surprising that the story about him living in the countryside of Shu and farming in his childhood was spread and spread to the ears of the King of Shu.

"Exactly."

Liu Hong saluted, neither humble nor overbearing.

"That's interesting. Does Young Master Weishi make a living from taro and rice? Or weaving straw sandal mats?"

The king of Shu was proud of his words, and he intended to test Liu Hong to see how he would respond.

"Grow everything, but also catch fish and hunt. Linqiong has the advantage of mountains and marshes, so it is suitable for growing rice. The people should have no worries about food and clothing, but for some reason they gather to become robbers, and the farms are abandoned."

Liu Hong never shied away from his impoverished past. In his view, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Many generals came from humble backgrounds.These words of the King of Shu did not do him any harm.The king of Shu wanted to embarrass him, not himself.

The King of Shu looked at Liu Hong and felt that both Liu Yu and his son were annoying, but he had been able to occupy the land of Shu for more than ten years, so he naturally had his ability and city.Afterwards, hearing Liang Yu's flattery and praise of Jinguan City, the King of Shu laughed out loud.

For this banquet, Liu Chang seemed to be here as a foil. The King of Shu had agreed with Liang Yu on the matter of welcoming the bride, and he was obviously not interested in Liu Chang.

Although Liu Chang was told to the Kingdom of Shu that he was the eldest son of the King of Han, the well-informed King of Shu knew that he was just an adopted son.

Liu Chang has a good-natured personality, and he doesn't feel that he is being treated rudely. He only wants to complete the task of welcoming his relatives, and he drinks happily with all the ministers of the Shu Kingdom.

After leaving the banquet and returning to the building, Liu Chang fell asleep while Liu Hong paced in the courtyard, looking at the crescent moon in the sky.Liang Yu came and said to Liu Hong, "Master, when are you going to visit Mr. Zimu?"

"Is this person really so important?"

Liu Hong had very little contact with Zhou Jing. He knew that Zhou Jing was famous all over the world, but he didn't know why he enjoyed such a reputation.

"This person has vertical and horizontal talents, and besides, he and the military division have a long-term friendship."

"That's the case, why don't you want to serve my father with the military advisor?"

Liu Hong wanted a talented counselor and always wanted to find a wise lord. Zhou Jing should never be established in Shu, but he did not serve other forces, which is interesting.

"I heard that Mr. Zimu has a close friend who is the son of Wei Taiwei. He is not willing to serve the king of Shu, but he also does not want to lead troops into Shu in the future and put his close friend to death."

When Zhou Jing was in the Central Plains, he also had friendship with Liang Yu, so Liang Yu could guess Zhou Jing's thoughts.

The son of Wei Taiwei?

Liu Hong thought of the sword-crowned man who carried Zhou Jing away in the bamboo. Zhou Jing called him General Wei, and it was obviously this person.

At this moment, Zhou Jing was staying in his empty home that was overgrown with weeds.He played the piano and sang in the courtyard, leisurely, suddenly his throat was itchy, and he stopped coughing.A three or four-year-old girl was sitting next to Zhou Jing. She imitated Zhou Jing to play the piano and imitated him to cough.Zhou Jing raised his head to look at her, and the girl also looked at Zhou Jing. The girl frowned and smiled at Zhou Jing.Zhou Jing thought that the girl looked very similar to her beautiful and flowery mother, but this girl made people like him a little bit.

"I said earlier that I will live in my house and sleep in this place where the wind is blowing on all sides. I must have caught a cold now."

General Wei, who was pacing among the weeds, heard a cough and took off his robe, regardless of whether Zhou Jing disliked it or not, and put it on Zhou Jing's back rudely.

Zhou Jing moved back to his old house for a few days, the house was dilapidated, the night before it rained, his quilt was soaked, he really caught a cold.

"Father, Uncle Jing is coughing and needs some medicine."

The girl remembered that she was sick before, and her father fed her a very bitter medicine, and then she recovered from the illness.

Wei Jia rubbed his daughter's head, looked at Zhou Jing, sure enough, Zhou Jing continued to play the piano as if nothing had happened.

"I'll call some soldiers over to your yard to weed and chase out snakes. I think the broken wall should also be mended, as well as the eaves...how did you break such a big hole, Zimu, you sleep in this house, Are you not afraid that the beams and tiles will collapse in the middle of the night and bury you?"

Wei Jia chattered endlessly, the more he looked at this dilapidated place, the more he felt that it was uninhabitable.

When he came to Zhou's house when he was young, it was so lively at that time, the house was beautiful, not the barren scene it is today.

Zhou Jingquan muttered nonstop behind him, it was the crow on the old tree.

When Wei Jia's voice was no longer heard, Zhou Jing turned around and saw someone else entered the house, obviously to check the house.

How can there be no grass growing in a house that has been unoccupied for more than ten years? It is common for beams and tiles to collapse. Zhou Jing is an open-minded person, so he just needs to sleep in a safe room.

She thought that when Wei Jia walked away, her ears would be quiet, and his voice would not come from him again, but she was still calling Zimu.Zhou Jing got up, the robe slipped off his back, he picked it up and put it on his arm.

There was Wei Jia's scent on the robe—it wasn't a scent, it was sweat.

"It's over."

Hearing him yelling non-stop in the house, Zhou Jing could only answer him, and took the girl's hand, went in to look for Wei Jia.

"Well, even if I want to move back to the old house, I still can't live in peace."

He just wanted to find a place to quietly finish the work at hand.

Zhou Jing followed the sound and saw Wei Jia happily pointing to a plum tree in the backyard, excitedly saying, "Zimu, it's still alive!"

The weeds are knee high, and the tall plum blossoms are flourishing in the corner, blooming alone.

Fifteen or sixteen years ago, the two boys always read at the same table under the old plum tree, and they would cut the table when they were angry, and they were also very close.Zhou Jing still remembered the scene back then. He looked at Wei Jia with the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he had returned to the happiest time in his life.

A few days later, Zhou Jing's book boy went to the Zhuang's house to inform Zhuang Yang to meet at Zhou's house.

Zhuang Yang asked Ah Yi to drive him there, and he did not forget to bring a congratulatory gift—a fat duck and a jug of wine.

Although it is just repairing the old house, it is not a happy event.

When Zhou Jing moved back to Zhou's house, Zhuang Yang went over to help Zhou Jing transport the scrolls out of Wei's house.He still remembered General Wei's sad little eyes at that time, but Zhuang Yang felt that it was inevitable for Mr. Wei to move out of Wei's house.

Mr. is aloof and doesn't want to depend on others, even in the home of his best friend.

Arriving at Zhou's house, before entering the courtyard, he noticed a carriage parked outside.Every time General Wei came here, he rode a horse himself. Mr. Xi Jing moved back to Zhou's house without letting other literary friends know, so who would come to visit?

With such questions in mind, Zhuang Yang walked into the brand-new house, and was led by the book boy through the halls to the quiet backyard.

In the backyard, sitting Mr. Zhou and another young man, they seem to have a good conversation.The back of the man was very familiar to Zhuang Yang, because it was Liu Hong.

"Hiro?"

Because he was too surprised, Zhuang Yang called out in a voice.

Liu Hong turned his head, smiled at Zhuang Yang, and called Zhuang Yang to go over.

Seeing Zhuang Yang approaching, Zhou Jing gestured for Zhuang Yang to sit down, and asked Liu Hong to continue talking.

"When the soldiers entered the palace of Xin, the front hall caught fire because of Xin mourning the death of the king. The military division of Wu ordered the soldiers to put out the fire, thus preserving the collection of books in Shige, but most of them were scattered and damaged."

Liu Hong slowly stated that the stone pavilion he was talking about was the place where the Xin Dynasty court had collected books for hundreds of years, also known as the Secret Mansion.There are many books in the world, many of which have disappeared among the people.

"Junshi Wu said, Mr. Zimu is invited to come, so that the collection of books in this stone pavilion will be sorted out by suitable people."

Liu Hong conveyed Wu Junshi's words, and secretly "despised" the military division in his heart.

"Is there a picture of mountains and rivers in the family register of the world?"

Zhou Jing was obviously moved. He is a rigorous scholar, and he is addicted to books.

"Sir, it's also in the stone pavilion."

Liu Hong knew these things not only because Army Division Wu attached great importance to them, but also because they were important items for unifying the world and governing the country in the future.

Zhou Jing clapped his hands, and the expression he showed was joy, rather than relief.

When Liu Yu's army attacked Xinwang Palace, they were not in a hurry to snatch the jewels and beauties, but to put out the fire and save the books in Shige first. This is the real master of the king.

"When will you leave, sir?"

Zhou Jing obviously agreed.He went to sort out the books in Shige and did not participate in political affairs. He could not only study knowledge, but also write books quietly.

"tomorrow."

"I'm going to make some preparations here and go there in January."

Zhou Jing still had his own affairs to deal with, so he couldn't follow Liu Hong there.What's more, the king of Shu is suspicious. If he leaves with the Han mission, he will inevitably be remembered by the king of Shu, and it will be difficult to return to Shu in the future.

"Okay, I will tell Junshi Wu when I go back!"

This is the best result imaginable.Using a book in the library, he lured Mr. Zimu to serve in the Han Dynasty.

Zhuang Yang was listening to Liu Hong's words, and the emotions in his heart were like Zhou Jing's, with ups and downs.It is the lifelong pursuit of many scholars to enter the secret mansion to consult books.So Mr. Zhuang Yang would not be surprised that he would agree.

After Zhou Jing finished talking with Liu Hong, he said to Zhuang Yang: "A Yang, my teacher called you here today, one is to let you know about the affairs of the Central Plains; the other is, the young master borrowed me to meet you here."

Zhou Jing naturally knew about Liu Hong's life experience, and also knew that Zhuang Yang had a deep friendship with this person.

"You can talk here with peace of mind. If anyone comes in, the boy will come and report, and I will open the door for you to leave through the back door."

Even if Wei Jia came, he had to hide it from him first.Zhou Jing went abroad to study in previous years, Wei Jia didn't hear from Zhou Jing for two or three years, so he sent people to look for him everywhere in a hurry, and even spent a lot of money to offer a reward.Speaking of which, [-]% of Zhou Jing's reputation was earned by himself, and [-]% was created unintentionally by the wealthy General Wei.
