Liu Jing did not comment on Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the end, but his silence showed his attitude. You must know that all the princes in the world were "scolded" by him, and only Cao and Liu "survived". Obviously, they
In Liu Jing's heart, he is different from others.
Zhuge Liang and others were very curious about what Liu Jing was thinking, but since he didn't want to say it, they didn't bother to ask the truth. It was just a drunken joke by Liu Jing. Everyone laughed it off, so why take it too seriously?
Woolen cloth.
This banquet lasted all afternoon and didn't end until the market closed.
Whether it is Liu Jing, Du Xi, Huan Yi, or Zhuge Liang, they are all people with extremely strong self-control. They know how to drink in moderation and will never allow themselves to get drunk to the point of losing their mind.
Only Liu Yao was addicted to alcohol and did not know how to control it. Fortunately, he drank quite well and did not make any noise. He fell asleep on the desk. When everyone was about to leave, he woke up and regained his consciousness.
wide awake.
Because both Du Xi and Huan Yi came in ox carts, Liu Jing asked the former to send Zhuge Liang and Liu Yao home, while he himself took Huan Yi's cart back to the official residence.
Du Xi nodded, he would do this even if Liu Jing didn't tell him.
In front of the wine shop, he said goodbye to Du Xi, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Yao. Liu Jing boarded Huan Yi's bullock cart and sat opposite him.
There was the sound of a rolling car, and Huan Yi walked forward slowly. His face looked a little drunk, thinking that Du Xi, Liu Yao, and Zhuge Liang were all from the north. He couldn't help but let out a long breath of wine, and sighed with Liu Jing: "Zhongda, the north
There are so many talented people!”
Liu Jing smiled and said: "There are certainly many talented people in the north, but outstanding people like our eldest brothers, Liu Wenlang and Zhuge Kongming, stand out from the crowd even in their hometown. They are far ahead of their peers. The reason why they gathered in Changsha is because the world is in chaos.
, moved south to avoid disaster, Brother Huan must not be unaware of this."
"What Zhongda said makes sense." Huan Yi nodded, agreed with his words, and then praised: "Fortunately, although Changsha has many high-quality and few literary works, Zhongda was born, and the northern scholars were not allowed to be beautiful."
Liu Jing smiled and shook his head: "When it comes to celebrities in Changsha, naturally the top ones are Gong Cao (Huan Jie) and Wuguan (Liu Pan), followed by Brother Huan, who will never be next in line."
"What kind of celebrity am I?" Huan Yi couldn't help but laugh at himself. His brother Huan Jie was praised by the world as a loyal and righteous man, and Liu Pan was appointed as a famous scholar in Changsha by Situ Huang Wan. Compared with them, Huan Yi
They can only be considered talented and talented, but the gap is really too big.
Liu Jing comforted him by saying, "Brother Huan is so talented that he will be known to the world sooner or later."
"Then I will honor Zhongda's auspicious words." Huan Yi said with a bitter smile, will that day really come to pass?
…………
After the rest, Liu Jing returned to the market and found that Xie Liang was still working conscientiously on duty. For this workaholic who completely ignored his family and devoted himself to his career, even if he disagreed with him in his heart, Liu Jing had to give in.
Character.
Huang Qiu was also the same as before. He rushed to the market half an hour after dinner, half an hour later than the designated time. He didn't even think about talking, and went into the studio. After a while, he snored loudly and made a loud noise.
It was so loud that Liu Jing could hear it from the second floor.
After Huang Qiu arrived, the hungry city officials could finally have breakfast with peace of mind.
Liu Jingze took advantage of this free time and went to the handicraft area in the north of the city. He went straight to a carpenter's shop named Lou to pick up the dove cart customized for his nephew Hutou.
The dove cart is a vehicle toy made based on the turtle dove. If it is pulled hard, the tail will be raised, and if it is slowed down and moved slowly, the tail will rub on the ground. This is to imitate the different forms of the dove when flying and walking. Children in the Han Dynasty all
Take pleasure in owning a dove car.
As for why it is the image of a dove, the dove is an auspicious bird and was regarded as a sacred bird in ancient times. Mao's "Zuo Zhuan" said: "The dove raises its sons from top to bottom in the morning and from bottom to top in the evening, so as to be even." The ancients said.
The toy is made with a dove as the prototype, which implies that the elders care for the younger ones.
The craftsman was very good at craftsmanship, and the wooden doves were carved vividly, which made Liu Jing very satisfied. Of course, it cannot be compared with the dove carts made by wealthy families who spent a lot of money. You get what you pay for, and the dove carts of wealthy families are made of copper.
, with four wheels at the bottom, the front of the car is carved into a phoenix, and there is a streamer tied to the back of the car. When it is dragged, it looks like a flying phoenix, which is really beautiful.
In addition to the dove cart, Liu Jing also commissioned a carpenter named Lou to make several toothbrushes for him, but he didn't know whether they were suitable for use.
"This is a toothbrush made according to Liu Jun's request..."
The builder handed Liu Jing three rather rough bone toothbrushes. He didn’t know what kind of animal bone the toothbrush handle was. It was two fingers wide, but the bristles were neat and fine. The three toothbrushes were different in terms of softness and hardness.
Beyond expectations.
Liu Jing played with the toothbrush and praised: "The craftsmanship is really exquisite."
The craftsman shook his head and said: "The little man's old eyesight is too dim to make such delicate things. This is what a child did." After saying this, he turned back and called into the shop: "Abban, come here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in his early twenties, wearing single clothes and straw shoes, walked out of the room. He was less than seven feet tall, and his face was a bit dull. At first glance, he seemed to be a poor speaker.
"Little man Lou Ban, please pay your respects to Liu Jun." Lou Ban lifted up the hem of his clothes and bowed obediently.
"Your skills are very good." Liu Jing helped him up and asked, "What kind of bristles does this toothbrush use?"
Lou Ban replied: "The soft ones are pig hair and the hard ones are pig bristles. Horse bristles are also suitable, but the price is too expensive and I don't dare to make my own decisions."
"Not bad, not bad..." Liu Jing nodded repeatedly.
Lou Ban smiled shyly, he really put a lot of thought into these three toothbrushes.
Liu Jing and the building builder paid off the balance and were about to leave when they suddenly heard a fierce quarrel coming from a shop not far away that ran a fur goods business.
There were disputes between vendors and customers every day in the market. It was not worth paying special attention to. However, the situation Liu Jing saw was a little different. The customers were all Jingman men with buns and haircuts. They wore colorful clothes, carried crossbows and swords, and looked ferocious.
, has a rough temperament and can't help shouting at vendors.
Jing Man claimed to be the descendant of Panhu. It was said that Panhu had made great contributions to the Gaoxin family and thus got the daughter of the emperor.
Jing Man relied on this as an excuse to claim that his father had meritorious service and that his daughter was an emperor, so he refused to pay taxes to the Han court. But the Han court's thinking was, "Under the sky, there is nothing but the king's land; on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers." Time.
How could conflicts not break out for a long time?
Not counting before the Han Dynasty, in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty alone, more than 200 wars between the Han and barbarian sides were recorded in history books. On average, there was one battle in less than two years. The frequency was astonishingly high.
Fortunately, in recent years, with the decline of the Wuling (Wuxi) barbarians, the main force of the Jing barbarians, the counties in Jingzhou, especially the four counties in Jingnan, finally lived a peaceful life for a few years.
Liu Jing was very surprised to see Jingman in Linxiang City. Just as the Han people were unwilling to approach the Jingman village, the Jingman were also unwilling to approach the Han city. After all, the two sides had fought for hundreds of years and accumulated deep knowledge.
In terms of grudges, going to the other side's territory is just like entering a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.
"These Jingman are so bold..." Liu Jing walked over with curiosity.
