Liu He walked out of the house with a horn on his head and a dagger on his waist. This dagger was given to him by Liu Jing. Except for sleeping, he never left his body with the sword.
Liu He didn't know if Liu Jing would take a break and return home today, but he still habitually sat under the big locust tree in front of his house, looking longingly to the west, looking forward to his brother's return.
"Whoosh, whoosh..." There was a sound of wooden wheels rubbing against the ground. Liu Qun led the dove cart and ran to Liu He. Two locks of soft hair hung naturally on his shoulders. His little face was flushed from the intense running.
He looked so cute. He tilted his head and asked curiously: "Little uncle, are you waiting for your Excellency? Will Your Excellency come back today?"
Liu He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Brother, if nothing happens, he will come back."
"Oh." Liu Qun was at a playful age at this time and quickly ran away with the dove cart.
Liu He sat there for half an hour. He was bored for a while and felt a little drowsy. Suddenly, a group of fire shadows broke into his sight. It was Liu Jing's horse Chi Ji. Liu He's sleepiness suddenly disappeared and he jumped up, but he didn't want to
After sitting for a long time, my legs were numb and I almost fell to the ground.
Liu He didn't dare to move any more. He rubbed his legs and looked at Liu Jing. Only then did he notice that there was a little black horse following behind Chi Ji. His heart suddenly beat "bang bang" and he thought: "
Is this what brother is going to give me?"
Liu Jing rode his horse to stop in front of Liu He and asked with a smile: "Aruo, are you waiting for me again?"
Liu He nodded repeatedly, stared at the little black horse intently, and asked: "Brother, hehe, this horse..."
Liu Jing smiled and said, "It's for you."
"Long live..." Liu He immediately cheered and surrounded the little black horse in admiration.
Liu Jing dismounted his horse with a gentle movement and rode for more than ten miles in a row. It was definitely not an easy task for a semi-newbie like him. However, no matter how hard it was, he had to grit his teeth and persevere. Riding was a skill that he must master as soon as possible.
Liu Jing suggested: "It doesn't have a name yet, Aruo, give it a name."
Liu He thought for a long time and said, "Just call him 'Black Dog'. What do you think?"
Liu Jing couldn't help but feel amused and thought to himself: "My brother is really a genius at naming." He agreed insincerely: "This name is quite good and catchy."
Before Liu Jing entered the house, Song Gu came out to welcome him, quickly took the ropes of Chi Ji and the black dog from Liu Jing's hands, and led them to the cowshed.
When Song Jin saw that Liu Jing had bought a pony for Liu He, he was filled with envy and said to Liu He courteously: "Young gentleman, I have been riding a bull since I was a child. Riding a bull is almost the same as riding a horse. If you want to learn how to ride a horse, you can learn how to ride a horse."
teach you."
Liu He couldn't help but roll his eyes at his playmate and hummed: "How can riding a bull be compared with riding a horse?"
Liu Jingjing nodded and said: "It is somewhat useful, and you can also take care of each other."
Song Jin said "Hey" heavily and said happily: "Thank you, sir."
Liu Jing nodded, led Liu He into the door, and saw Liu Qun, who was sweating profusely while running with the dove cart, picked him up and hugged him, and kissed him hard on the face.
All the way through the vestibule and straight into the backyard, stepmother Zhang was sitting in the hall leading Liu Rao to do needlework and practice female workers. Liu Rao was ten years old this year, and it was time to get involved in these things.
"Zhongda is back." Zhang said with a smile before Liu Jing came to greet him.
"..." Liu Jing was speechless for a while.
Of course Mr. Zhang has not changed his gender. All of this has a lot to do with money. The five baht coins, gold cakes, land deeds, etc. given to him by the results totaled more than one million yuan. Liu Jing only gave away the money worth more than half a million yuan.
The cakes were buried in the ground of the official's house, and the rest were transported home. They immediately knocked Mrs. Zhang unconscious. Now that she sees Liu Jing, she always greets him with a smile.
"Brother..." Liu Rao had been pampered since he was a child and didn't like female workers. He had long been impatient. When he saw Liu Jing, he felt like he had seen a savior. He immediately put down his needle and thread and pounced on him like a swallow returning to its nest.
Liu Jing held his nephew Liu Qun in one hand and rubbed his sister's round head with the other hand. Liu He couldn't help but show off to his sister: "Li, haha, brother bought me a horse."
Seeing Liu Rao looking over, Liu Jing quickly took out the jade hairpin from his arms and inserted it into his sister's maids.
Liu Qun brought him a gift early in the morning. It was a long-life lock made of gold, with the four characters "Wealth, Gui, and Health" written on the front.
The one prepared for Zhang is also an jade hairpin.
At this time, Lai Ci walked out of the room and came to the hall. When she saw her son wearing a gold medal around his neck, she was unhappy but worried: "Zhongda, you brought back a lot of property to your home before, and now you squander it without anything."
Temperance, is this really the money you earned from your partnership with Liu Bosi?"
How could there be such an easy way to make money in the world? Lai Ci was afraid that he would go astray.
Liu Jing looked at Lai Ci's beautiful face with bright eyes and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't you still believe me? I have money at my fingertips, and I will never do anything illegal, criminal, or disgraceful to my family.
"
Mrs. Zhang was eager for Liu Jing to keep sending money back, so she said, "Li Ji, Zhongda is not an ignorant person. We have to trust him."
Lai Ci and Liu Jing looked at each other for a long time, then nodded gently and said, "Maybe my sister-in-law is overthinking."
Liu Jinghan smiled and said: "With my sister-in-law always reminding me, how could I go astray?" After a pause, he added: "I came back this time to share the scriptures."
Lai Ci nodded and said: "The seventh month is about to pass, so we should really seize the time to expose the scriptures."
Liu He said: "Brother, I will help you move the bamboo slips tomorrow."
Liu Jing asked deliberately: "Don't you want to learn to ride a horse?"
Liu He replied: "It's not until this day."
Liu Rao said softly: "Brother, I will help you too."
"And me." Liu Qun volunteered.
"Okay." Liu Jing said with a smile, "Then our whole family will go into battle tomorrow."
The next day was still a sunny day with no clouds in the sky, perfect weather for posting books.
The Liu family, except Zhang, all mobilized. Under the leadership of Liu Jing and Lai Ci, everyone moved out the bamboo slips stored in the library one by one, spread them in the courtyard, and exposed them to the scorching sun.
The most difficult thing was to spread out books under the scorching sun. Even if he wore a bamboo hat, it was still difficult to withstand the scorching heat. Lai Ci was already weak, and after only half an hour, he was dizzy from the sun and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Liu Jing helped Lai Ci to rest under the corridor. His sister-in-law's palms were all sweaty. Fortunately, he found it in time, otherwise he would have collapsed if he had been delayed for a while. His sister-in-law was too weak.
Lai Ci leaned on the railing, watching the children jumping around in the courtyard, and couldn't help but sigh: "Zhongda, sister-in-law is really useless."
Liu Jing was silent for a moment and said: "My sister-in-law was not like this before. I remember that at that time, my sister-in-law could ride a horse and row a boat..."
