Chapter 135 The Return

The fleet of Liu Jing is not an ordinary fleet of merchants at first glance. Any thieves with a little vision on the river will not mess with its ideas. Only those thieves who are hungry and cold and have no livelihood will take risks. The training object of the soldiers on board.

To be honest, these thieves had almost no impact on Liu Jing's fleet. They were unable to attack the fleet and only dared to find a single ship on the periphery.However, Liu Jing's fleet is comparable to the warships of the states and counties. The thieves are often beheaded by the soldiers waiting for them as soon as they board the ship. Few escaped by chance, and most of them became soldiers' military exploits.

From Shaxian to Baqiu, in a short distance of [-] miles, the soldiers on Liu Jing's boat beheaded more than [-] ranks and captured five small boats, while their own losses were minimal, almost negligible.

Liu Jing's flagship is in the middle of the fleet, and no bandit has ever been able to get close to it, but Deng Yuan was still quite frightened by the fact that the fleet fought every day. In the land boundary, the number of thieves has been greatly reduced, which made her feel a little relieved.

Out of danger, Deng Yuan immediately turned his attention to the weather. She found that since entering Changsha, the rain has basically never stopped. It is either raining or sleet, and there is no sunny day. "The name is really well-deserved.

The climate in Changsha is already very humid, and staying on a boat with heavy humidity all day is a very severe test for any northerner.

Fortunately, she and her eight maidservants had different physiques, but none of them got sick.

Deng Yuan didn't want to attribute it to luck, she thought it might have something to do with drinking tea, and this was naturally the credit of Liu Jing, who never let them drink raw water, saying that drinking raw water can also cause diseases, and strongly recommended drinking tea.

For the sake of her health, Deng Yuan drank tea every day, but to be honest, she didn't like tea.Although the tea has a sweet aftertaste, it has a bitter taste after all, and she has always loved sweets, and she prefers to drink honey syrup.

Liu Jing also discovered this, thinking about whether to invent sucrose as soon as possible to satisfy her desire for tongue and tongue.

In fact, it's more than that. After a month of living together day and night, Liu Jing has a better understanding of his wife.

She likes to read, but also loves to play; she likes to have fun, but never complains about the hard journey; she is gentle and kind, but she is also self-willed; she observes etiquette, but has a lively heart; Extravagant, but very sympathetic to the people at the bottom...

She is not the "goddess" who can be seen from a distance but not be played with, as imagined before, she is a flesh and blood, full of wisdom, elegance and charm, liveliness, and a proud and lovely little girl.

Liu Jing felt from the bottom of his heart that she was much more attractive than the "Goddess".

…………

When Liu Jing’s fleet returned, it was mid-winter in November. As if to welcome his return, the cloud dissipated that day and the sun shone brightly. After many days, Changsha finally cleared up.

I don't know who leaked the news. When they heard that Liu Jing was back, a large number of people from Linxiang flooded into Beijin, blocking up the pier. Everyone looked at the river and waited eagerly.

Standing at the forefront is the Longqiu Liu Clan headed by Liu Pan and Liu Cheng. They have been notified in advance that the dowry presented by the Deng Clan is astonishing, and it will take about a hundred carts to carry it.The two couldn't help being greatly surprised, and lamented Deng's extravagance in their hearts, and immediately started to prepare, but it was only a hundred carriages, without bothering the clansmen, the two families could easily gather together.

In addition to the Liu clan, friends such as Du Xi, Huan Yi, Liu Yu, etc., and subordinate officials such as solemn, Xie Liang, Chao Chao, etc., all came to welcome them.

"I'm coming……"

When the fleet sailed slowly into Beijin, the pier erupted instantly, and there were cheers everywhere. Deng Yuan, who was on the poop, couldn't help being startled by such a lively scene. She had long known that Liu Jing was very famous in Changsha. But I just thought it was an ordinary celebrity.

However, looking at the situation in front of him, he is so "popular", which cannot be explained by the so-called "celebrities".

Facing Deng Yuan's curious gaze, Liu Jing explained with a smile: "Didn't I work in the market before? It is a place where the people gather, and I have a lot of contacts on weekdays. In addition, I have actually done some things for the people. After a long time, I gradually gained the reputation and prestige I have today."

Deng Yuan wondered in his heart, "Does the market have such a big influence?"

Liu Jing smiled, but didn't answer. He was considered unprecedented, and there will be no one to come after.

The big ship docked at the pier, and Liu Jing and Deng Yuan had just disembarked. Liu He and Liu Rao, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed forward with joy and shouted loudly: "Brother..."

Then the two looked at Deng Yuan beside Liu Jing, and said in unison in their hearts: "Ah! My sister-in-law is so tall and beautiful!"

Without waiting for Liu Jing to introduce her, Deng Yuan said to Liu He and Liu Rao with a smile, "You are A Ruo, you are A Li, right?"

Seeing Deng Yuan's beautiful appearance and good personality, Liu He and Liu Rao immediately felt relieved, and at the same time said hello: "Second sister-in-law hello."

"Second sister-in-law, you are so beautiful!" Liu Rao couldn't hide his envy on his small face.

Deng Yuan took her hand and boasted: "Ah Li, you will definitely grow into a great beauty in the future."

Immediately, Liu Rao was so praised that he couldn't find Bei. He said happily, "Really? As long as I have a sister-in-law who is seven or eight cents beautiful, I will be satisfied."

Liu Jing smiled and shook his head. He really couldn't bear to hit her. If she was born in modern times and suffered a few stabs in the face, there might still be some hope...

At this time Liu Pan, Liu Cheng, Du Xi, Huan Yi, Liu Yu and others came over one after another. When they saw Deng Yuan, they all praised Liu Jing's blessing. This woman's figure and appearance are rare in the world. The ancients said: "Qing Guo Allure." That's all.

The two are not yet married, and it is not appropriate for the bride to show her face in public. Liu Jing briefly introduced the relatives and friends in front of Deng Yuan, and then sent her into the car.

And Liu Jing didn't delay too long. Beijin is the busiest city in Changsha. If he stays here, the people watching the excitement will not leave. It will definitely hinder the traffic and cause inconvenience to others.

When Liu Jing returned home, he had a hasty meeting with his stepmother Zhang and sister-in-law Lai Ci, and immediately rushed to the home of his clan brother Liu Pan to discuss the wedding date with him in detail.

Liu Jingding's wedding date is the day after tomorrow - the winter solstice.

The reason for choosing the day of the winter solstice is because "before and after the winter solstice, a gentleman must be quiet, and all officials must do nothing and do not listen to politics."

That is to say, the winter solstice is a legal holiday of the Han Dynasty, and people with official status do not need to ask for leave to attend his wedding.

Otherwise, on the day of his wedding, all the officials in the county government will ask for leave, and none of them will be in Cao, what will happen?This is not an exaggeration, he definitely has this influence.
