Chapter 115

Du Ting Tingchang showed great enthusiasm to Liu Jing, caring all the way, and led Liu Jing and his party into a pavilion with deep and wide courtyards and connected houses.

The head of Du Ting introduced Liu Jing: "Liu Jun, there are eight bedrooms in this house, which are enough to accommodate Liu Jun and his followers." Plague disease, Liu Jun can stay at ease."

Liu Jing looked at the surrounding environment, nodded and smiled and said, "Could it be possible to expect a better place than here? Thank you for treating me and other people far away."

Du Tingting said with a smile: "Liu Jun is the crown of Jingnan scholars, and he is famous in Jingzhou. How dare the villain not do his best to relieve the king's worries."

Liu Jing raised his eyebrows when he heard the words. His elder brother Du Xi once commented that he was "the crown of Jingnan scholars". It was handed down from him.

It may also be other people, such as Deng You, Zhuge Xuan...etc.

Anyway, it's not Song Zhong and Lai Gong. In their eyes, he is completely "a rotten wood that cannot be carved".Ever since Li Daitao stiffened, he had written many letters with the two of them, maybe they have changed their minds, but it may not change their previous impression all of a sudden.

After Liu Jing settled down in Duting for a while, he left his residence by car and went to visit the mansions of Song Zhong and Lai Gong.Unfortunately, Song Zhong was on duty in the state capital, Liu Jing voted for a famous assassin, and went to Lai's mansion instead, and the latter happened to be at home with Xiu Mu, so he finally didn't let him miss again.

"Liu Langjun?" The prison slave of Lai Mansion received the report from the door servant, sent someone to inform the master Lai Gong, and rushed to the gate to greet him.When he stepped out of the gate and saw Liu Jing, who had a tall figure, handsome features, and a very good demeanor, he froze in place.

Liu Jing once lived in Lai's Mansion for a period of time. For this young man from Changsha, although everyone in Lai's Mansion can't be said to be hated by everyone, he is not popular with everyone. Hi, who would like such a person?

However, the person in front of him, apart from his appearance, is vaguely recognizable, there is no other similarity, as if he is a completely different person. At this time, he considers himself to be Liu Jing's brother, which may be more acceptable.

Liu Jing felt it was funny. This trip to Xiangyang might surprise everyone's eyes, so he said, "I won't see you in more than a year, so you will be safe here?"

Hearing his words, the prison slave finally confirmed that he was Liu Jing, and bowed to salute: "Liu Lang, Liu Jun... The master is in the living room, please follow the villain."

Liu Jing nodded, and followed the prison slave to the backyard. To his surprise, Lai Gong stood outside the hall to greet him.Liu Jing changed his stroll in the courtyard, stepped forward quickly, bowed calmly, and said in his mouth: "I am ashamed, but you have Lao Lai's relatives to welcome you outside."

Lai Gong had taught him for a period of time, even if Liu Jing called him a "teacher", it was all right, but because Liu Jing did not formally worship him as a teacher, he later asked Liu Jing to switch to Song Zhong's sect, and never regarded himself as a teacher.Liu Jing privately speculated that it was Lai Gong who was ashamed of having a student like him, so he wouldn't let him call him a teacher.

Lai Gong embraced Liu Jing enthusiastically, looked at him up and down for a long time, and then said with emotion: "Zhongda has changed so much, it's unbelievable." Even though he had already prepared himself to some extent, he still felt a sense of shame when he saw Liu Jing himself. It's incredible.

Lai Gong is seven feet three inches tall. He used to be about the same size as Liu Jingxiang, but now he is more than half a head shorter than him.Since the beginning of this year, Liu Jing's height has increased again, reaching 1.7 feet [-] inches, or about [-] meters [-], which is not short in modern times. He was definitely outstanding in the Han Dynasty.However, the potential of this body has basically reached its limit, and it is difficult to continue to grow taller.

Liu Jing said: "Perhaps it was my elder brother's death, which made me regret it."

Lai Gong felt quite appreciative in his heart, and only this reason could explain it a little bit.Said: "Zhong Da, quickly follow me in."

While inviting him to a seat, Lai Gong asked: "Zhongda, you just arrived in Xiangyang, right? If you don't have a place to stay yet, you can stay at my house temporarily."

Liu Jing shook his head and said, "Thank you Mr. Lai for your kindness. This time I am going north, I have a lot of entourage, and I have already moved into Duting."

Lai Gong nodded, and asked again: "Did you go to Song Zhongzi's place?"

Liu Jing nodded and replied, "I've been there, but it's a pity that Master Song is not at home."

Lai Gong asked about Lai Ci and Hutou again, and Liu Jing casually chatted with him about the current situation of his sister-in-law and nephew, and passed Lai Ci's letter to him.

Lai Gong didn't open it in a hurry, put the letter in the corner of the desk for the time being, and continued to talk with Liu Jing in depth. Lai Gong found that no matter what he talked about, Liu Jing answered fluently. This calmness cannot be pretended. He already has a celebrity elegant demeanor.No wonder he is now hailed as the crown of Jingnan scholars by the outside world, and Lai Gong looks at him, which is worthy of the name.

The two chatted all the way from their parents to the general trend of the world. So far, Liu Jing talked more and more, and Lai Gong talked less and less. His heart was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked. In front of Liu Jing, he seemed to have become an ignorant child. Put your hands together and listen to your ears.

When Liu Jing stopped speaking, Lai Gong felt in his heart that "listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books". He stood up excitedly, held Liu Jing's hand firmly, and said, "Zhongda, with your You should not stay in Changsha, come to Xiangyang!"

Liu Jing kept his expression on his face, shook his head with a smile and said: "I am the master of Changsha, and I have a prominent position in the county. Even if I intend to come to Xiangyang, the governor may not be willing to let him go."

Lai Gong said angrily: "Does Zhang Changsha still dare to force you to stay?"

"Let's not talk about this. Mr. Lai, I really have something to ask for this time, I wonder if Mr. Lai can agree?" Liu Jing said slowly: "The six rituals of marriage rituals are the first to accept the lottery. I don't have any close relatives or elders. , so I hope Lai Jun can go to accept the lottery from the Deng family on his behalf."

There is a cloud in "Rituals·Scholar's Wedding": "For weddings, the order is to be accepted. Use wild geese." Zheng Xuan's note said: "If you want to marry the other party, you must first use the matchmaker, and the next word, the woman's promise, is Then make people accept it and choose it."

Today, gifts are not limited to geese. From wine to rice to auspicious animals, auspicious birds, etc., there are as many as [-] kinds of gifts, each with an inscription and a song of praise.

"Okay." Lai Gong was very willing to help Liu Jing, so he readily agreed.

Liu Jingzhan smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Lai, I can finally rest assured."

The two chatted for a while, and Lai Gong took the opportunity to test: "Zhongda, Bo Ming has passed away for more than a year, and the world is like light dust perched on weak grass. You can't always indulge in pain and work hard on yourself. Although the ancient etiquette' A husband has the right to remarry, and a woman has no right to marry', but Li Ji is only 24 years old this year, and it would be too hard for her to keep her chastity for the rest of her life. Now she is mourning for Bi Ming and cannot extricate herself from it, and I will not force her. But in a few years..."
