Cai Shengnai was a free-spirited and unrestrained knight-errant. Although he had shown sufficient respect for Liu Jing before, it was more out of his admiration for Liu Jing's culture and morality, and had nothing to do with him personally.
The two of them are completely different people living in two different worlds. Even if they meet, they cannot become friends.
However, after some contact, Cai Sheng discovered that Liu Jing was not only a courteous and kind gentleman, but also a man with great ambition and heroic spirit.
Such a discovery immediately shattered the invisible barrier between the two.
Cai Sheng began to believe that he and "De Xing Liu Jun" could become friends, which was something he had never thought of before.
Cai Sheng asked curiously: "Looking at Liu Jun's clothes, he seems to be working for a county now. I wonder where he is serving?"
"It's right in the city." Liu Jing said. "If Brother Cai has anything to do in the future, you can come directly to me in the market."
"Ah?" Cai Sheng had the same question as everyone else: "Liu Jun comes from a high family and has a good reputation. Why does he want to work in the city?"
Liu Jing smiled and said: "If I didn't come to the city, how would I have the chance to get to know you two?"
Cai Sheng was quite pleased with what he said, while Tao Guan was a little flattered and said with fear: "Liu Jun's words are serious. I am just a cake seller. How can I be treated differently by Liu Jun?"
"There is no need to belittle oneself," Liu Jing shook his head and said, "Huainanzi says: 'He who is wiser than ten thousand people is called a hero, a person who is wiser than ten thousand people is called a handsome person, a person who is smarter than a hundred people is called a hero, and a person who is smarter than ten people is called a hero.'
His understanding of civilization and meaning and his extraordinary wisdom are unparalleled, and he can be called a 'hero'."
"..." Tao Guan's eyes heated up when he heard this, and he almost shed tears. If it weren't for the huge gap in identity between the two parties, he would have wanted to make the other party his confidant.
There is finally someone in this world who doesn't care about his appearance and discovers his inner self. This is something that even Cai Sheng failed to do!
It is undeniable that Cai Sheng is very kind to him, but Cai Sheng always treats him as a weakling and takes care of him, but cannot see his superiority.
Cai Sheng looked at Liu Jing, then at Tao Guan, and couldn't help but think: "If the dwarf slave is a hero, then who am I? Heroic? Handsome? Hao? I can't be a hero...?"
After thinking about it, Cai Sheng suddenly woke up. He had just passed by this place and saw Dwarf Nu crying. He ran over angrily to stand up for his friend, completely forgetting the purpose of his trip.
He promised to solve a problem for someone before, but now he has been delayed. The other person is afraid that he will have to wait impatiently.
This was a matter of his own reputation, so he couldn't help but say goodbye to the two of them in a hurry.
Liu Jing originally wanted to chat with Cai Sheng for a while, but since the other party had something important to do, forget it. Besides, the market was noisy and not a good place for conversation.
After agreeing to visit him on another day, Cai Sheng left in a hurry.
Watching Cai Sheng leave quickly in three steps and two steps at a time, Liu Jing couldn't help but praise: "Since ancient times, those true chivalrous people have all upheld the principle of 'people come with righteousness, I pledge myself with my body, and I will go to the emergency with my clothes.
"Escape from the cold and heat.' This is an act praised highly in history books, and Cai Hongchao is such a person."
Tao Guan said from the side: "Although Mr. Cai has a somewhat reckless personality, willful and aggressive, he never bullies the weak. Instead, he likes to help the weak and resist the bullying of the strong, the rangers, and the bad boys. He is like a villain in the city.
There are many people who have received his favor."
"This is also the reason why I am willing to make friends with him. He bullies the strong but not the weak, trusts first and takes pleasure in grudges. Cai Hongchao lives so freely and freely. It is really enviable." Liu Jing said with a smile, stroking his hands. "I have been out buying cakes for a long time.
, it’s time to go back, see you soon.”
"Liu Jun, go slowly." Tao Guan bowed respectfully and watched Liu Jingyuan go. His mind went blank. He didn't come back to his senses until the cake buyer kept urging him.
Liu Jing walked leisurely through the streets. It was a complete surprise that he met Cai Sheng today.
People like Cai Sheng must be the main target of the imperial court in the era of peace. At the least, they will be sidelined, and at the most serious, they will be executed. It is difficult to end well.
However, in today's chaotic world, not only will this generation not be suppressed, but it will become the target of all parties vying to win over them.
If Liu Jing wants to make a difference in the future, of course he will have people like him around him.
As soon as he returned to the market building, he was immediately called into the room by Huang Qiu to chat. The latter did not sleep soundly today, but he also looked drunk and his tongue was tied when he spoke.
It seems that everything is missing in his life, but good wine is indispensable. Even if his future is ruined by wine, he still cannot find his way back.
What a sad person.
After dealing with Huang Qiu, Liu Jing went around the market again, and the day passed like this.
Returning to the official's residence in the evening, he went to Tong Di Huanyi's home as a guest. This time the conversation between the two did not end as early as yesterday, and they continued chatting for more than an hour.
As the saying goes, "Think about it every day and dream about it at night." He actually dreamed of Zhuge Liang at night.
In the dream, he and Zhuge Liang joined hands to climb a towering mountain, experienced many dangers, and finally succeeded in reaching the top. This dream is the truest reflection of his heart. The mountain is the career, and he hopes that Zhuge Liang can join him to create a career together.
.
It seemed that even God was moved by him. Early the next morning, Zhuge Liang came to visit alone.
Liu Jing was overjoyed, thinking that Zhuge Liang had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Kong Ming, I once heard people say: 'One day without seeing each other is like three autumns.' I always disagreed in my heart, thinking that this generation is too pretentious, but today I realized that I was wrong. You and I have only been apart for two days, but we are here
In my heart, it feels like a long time has passed."
The phrase "three autumns in one day" comes from "The Book of Songs·Wang Feng·Picking Ge", "He is picking ge and it is like three months of autumn. He is picking wormwood. It is like three autumns. He is picking wormwood.
, a day gone by is like being three years old." Zhuge Liang naturally read it, but he always felt that Liu Jing was a little too enthusiastic, and wondered if he was so enthusiastic towards everyone?
Liu Jing pulled Zhuge Liang to sit down and asked with concern: "Has uncle Ling's condition improved?"
Zhuge Liang showed a smile on his face, nodded and said: "My uncle's condition has improved significantly compared with the past few days, and he can already stay and have dinner."
"Let uncle Jiren have his own destiny." Liu Jingyan said sincerely, but in his heart he wished Zhuge Xuan could lie on the bed for a year and a half.
Zhuge Liang nodded to express his gratitude, then straightened his body and bowed solemnly: "I once looked at Brother Liu's handwriting at the bookstore in the city. Although I am despicable, I can still see that Brother Liu's handwriting is strict and majestic, like a crown and jade. It's like reading
A gentleman would be heartbroken by it."
Zhuge Liang paused for a moment and continued: "So today I shamelessly want to ask Brother Liu for a copybook so that I can copy and study it every day, hoping to improve my calligraphy."
"I may not be willing to accept even one copybook when someone asks for it. When Kong Ming asks, I won't feel bad even if it's ten or a hundred." This is a rare opportunity to gain a good impression, how could Liu Jing let it go so easily.
From the time he traveled to the present, he practices calligraphy almost every day, and has saved at least thirty or forty manuscripts. He has long destroyed the unsatisfactory works, leaving only the best among the best.
Although these copybooks were his hard work, he would only be sincerely happy if they were given to Zhuge Liang. The meaning of their existence was to create value for Liu Jing, and Zhuge Liang was of immeasurable value.
"There are too many, just one post is enough." Zhuge Liang waved his hand hastily, having a deeper understanding of Liu Jing's enthusiasm.
"I wonder if Kong Ming ever knew that I am proficient in two kinds of calligraphy. One is thick and thick, with dignified fonts, just like the model in the calligraphy. The other is extraordinary brushwork. It is neither straight nor cursive, but a shortcut to formal calligraphy. It can be said that there is no difference between the two.
Each has its own merits. Does Kong Ming want to choose one of the two?" Liu Jing asked with his hands on his knees and a half-smile.
"This..." Zhuge Liang hesitated.
Liu Jing pretended to be displeased and said: "A few copybooks are just a piece of cake for me. Kong Ming, please don't be polite to me anymore."
Zhuge Liang thanked him and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
