Chapter 127 Ru Armor

For Pan Jun's unhelpful behavior, Liu Jing could only hold his nose and admit it. Anyway, it took more than a month to welcome the relatives this time, so why not wait another five days?

When the day of the personal welcome came to an end, Deng You went to Fieshui Bieye in person to meet Liu Jing, accompanied by dozens of vehicles, which were very loaded, and those who didn't know thought it was Deng's dowry.

As soon as Liu Jing got the news, he immediately rushed to meet him outside the industry.

Wearing a high crown and a wide-sleeved gown, Deng You got out of the car. He was seven feet seven inches long, with stern features and a two-foot-long beard hanging down on his chest, which was very dignified.

Deng You looked at Liu Jing quietly with awe-inspiring eyes. The latter has grown in stature over the years and has already caught up with him. He is tall and straight, handsome in appearance, calm and confident. Compared with Liu Jing, there are very few.For a while, my heart was full of emotions, but in more than three years, why did Liu Jing change so much?

With a natural expression, Liu Jing bowed respectfully, "Jing sees Mr. Deng."

No matter how hard it was for Deng You to maintain a serious attitude, he laughed and said, "Zhong Da still calls me Deng Jun?"

Liu Jing has almost turned the "Book of Rites" to pieces recently, and he has long been prepared for this. He replied: "The "Book of Rites" says: 'The wedding is greeted by the son-in-law, and it is seen by the uncle. Jing hasn't performed the ceremony to welcome him in person, so he dares not change his address in advance."

Deng You smiled and said: "Since Zhong Da is willing to abide by the etiquette, then it's up to you."

Liu Jing suddenly remembered something, and asked with a smile: "Deng Jun was very respectful in the past, are you satisfied with Jing Shang today?" Deng You sent Zheng Dang to Liu Yuan's funeral last year, and presented funeral money and hardware. What's wrong, it's only Deng's extravagance, but after his sister-in-law Lai Ci reminded him, and after reading some books, he realized that Deng's move was very wrong.

Five catties of gold has far exceeded the scope of funeral money in the current world. "Dong Guan Han Ji" records: "Ruan Kuang was the prefect of Nanyang during the reign of Emperor Yongping. After his death, his old official Duyou Zhu Hui sent funeral money. Three pieces of gold are ridiculed by the people of the time." Even sending three catties of gold is ridiculed by the world, let alone five catties of gold, Deng's move obviously has other intentions.

Deng You couldn't help but smile. It was true that he had other thoughts on this matter, and he didn't mind Liu Jing's little "offense". He nodded and smiled, "I'm very satisfied."

Liu Jing smiled and introduced the people around him to Deng You. Lai Gong had already entered Deng's residence twice, so naturally he didn't need to waste much time, mainly introducing Zhuge Liang, Pan Jun, Wang Can and others.

Deng You did not feel weak because of Wang Can's ugly appearance, so he contemptuously contemptuous of Wang Can, on the contrary, he praised him a lot. Based on this alone, he was a thousand times stronger than his two sons Deng Chong and Deng Lang. Even Zhuge Liang and Pan Jun , have not been ignored.

Seeing the dozens of oxcarts brought by Deng You rushing in, Liu Jing was puzzled, and Deng You said, "These are the things you mentioned in your letter before."

Liu Jing couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words, and immediately stepped forward to lift the curtain of a small cart, and he saw stacks of jackets piled up in the carriage.

The jacket refers to the short coat, and the armor refers to the iron armor. The jacket is a short waist armor with a simple shape. It can only protect the chest and back, and lacks protection for the thighs, shoulders, and arms. It is the standard of the Han army. armor.

The late Cui Shi, a famous scholar in Jizhou, said in his book "Politics": "The reason why Fan Han can control the Hu is because of the strength of the armor and the crossbow."

Liu Jing was in Changsha, and it was extremely difficult to obtain armor, but for the Nanyang Deng family, it was a piece of cake.Since the Warring States period, Nanyang has been famous for its iron smelting industry. The Han Dynasty was extremely prosperous, and the iron smelting industry was the best in the world. The Xinye Deng family not only has its own iron mines, but also has its own iron and cobbler, and can make its own armor. .

Liu Jing lowered the curtain of the car and turned to look at Deng You.

Deng You said slowly: "A total of one hundred collars, two hundred halberds and two hundred spears, one hundred knives, and two hundred leathers."

Liu Jingxin was inexplicably delighted, these sophisticated equipments were enough to arm a 500 people, and their value could not be measured by money, even if they had money, they couldn't buy them.

Of course Liu Jing would not accept Deng You's gift in vain. This time he went north, he brought several ships of goods, especially food. Now that Nanyang has suffered from wars, there are refugees from Guanzhong, Yan, and Henan everywhere. Food is absolutely hard. Currency is stronger than gold. After all, people can live without gold, but they cannot live without food.

Both parties get what they need, and no one suffers.

On that day, Weng and his son-in-law talked very happily, and everyone was very drunk. Deng You stayed in Bieye at night.

The next day Deng You returned home, and Liu Jing once again came to his [-]-foot ship to drink and have fun with Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou and others.

Since he arrived in Xinye, he was in an unfamiliar environment and very boring. He usually had drinks with Zhuge Liang, Pan Jun, and Wang Can, or with Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou, Liu Zhu, and Liu Liang. On top of that, it seemed like there was nothing else to do but drink.

Sitting in the high poop building, a few people could look at the scenery on both sides of the Feishui River. Unfortunately, it was early winter, when everything was withering, so there was no good scenery.

However, most of the people who sit down are rough people, and they don't care about the scenery, as long as there is wine, that's enough.

When the wine was hot, everyone became more and more excited. Ma Zhou raised his glass and chanted "Xia Ke Xing". This poem was specially written by Liu Jing for him and Cai Sheng. Five times never give up.

The people on the boat didn't know that when they were reciting poems, a carved and decorated boat was running alongside the big ship. On the deck of the boat stood a man dressed in beautiful clothes. "Xia Ke Xing", he was immediately attracted, and every word of this poem could arouse his mood swings.

This poem should come from "Zhuangzi·Speaking of Swords", which praises chivalrous men, and then introduces the incident of Lord Xinling stealing amulets to save Zhao, to further praise chivalrous men, especially the last four lines: "Death is a heroic bone, and you are not ashamed to be a hero in the world. Who can write Your Excellency the White Head Taixuan Sutra." He could not help but applaud loudly.

This person's voice was so loud that Liu Jing and the others couldn't help stretching their necks and looking sideways.

"I'm sorry... I heard the poems chanted by the gentlemen, and I felt happy. I couldn't help it for a while, and disturbed the drinking of the gentlemen. Don't blame me. I don't know what the name of this poem is? Who wrote it?"

Although this person speaks politely, his appearance and demeanor have nothing to do with literati. He is in his 30s and [-]s, about seven feet tall, with bright eyes and a rough face. He wears a sword and a halberd. Very.

This person doesn't seem to be a local. Hearing his accent, he must be from the area of ​​Shu, Shu?Liu Jing raised his voice and said: "On the big river, people come and go, why bother? My name is Liu Jing, whose name is Zhongda, from Changsha. This poem is called "Xia Ke Xing", and it is my work."

"It turns out that one of my feet is Liu Zhongda, who is well-known in Jingzhou, Mr. Liu. It's a pleasure to meet you." Although he is stationed in Nanyang, he pays close attention to Xiangyang. He has heard of Liu Zhongda's name a lot. "Xia Ganning, named Xingba, the family originally lived in Nanyang, and the ancestors lived in (Yizhou) Bajun."
