Chapter 138 Requisition

At the time of sunrise, Liu Jing woke up from his dream, only opened his eyes, and saw Deng Yuan leaning sideways in his arms, raised his head slightly, and stared at him with deep eyes.

Realizing that Liu Jing woke up, Deng Yuan felt a little embarrassed, and subconsciously closed his eyes.Last night was really ridiculous. I didn't realize it at the time, but now that I think about it, I'm ashamed to death.

Deng Yuan's actions were tantamount to deception, Liu Jing became more and more cute as he looked at her, he hugged her tightly and asked, "Young Master, why did you wake up so early? Why don't you sleep for a while?"

After more than a month of getting along, he already knew Deng Yuan quite well, she was very sleepy, she slept for five hours every day, and never got up until she had eaten.

Deng Yuan buried his head in Liu Jing's arms, and said softly: "Now that I have officially become Liu Lang's wife, naturally I can no longer indulge myself like before."

Liu Jing said in a nonchalant tone: "Just let nature take its course, don't force yourself."

Deng Yuan said: "How can that be done? What kind of dignity will it be if the husband wakes up while the wife is still lying on the bed? As a wife, I must get up earlier than Liu Lang."

Liu Jing smiled and said: "I sleep very short, and only three hours of sleep a day is enough. Shaojun wants to wake up earlier than me, and I am afraid that I will get up before dawn or before dawn."

"Ah? Are you going to wake up so early?" Deng Yuan's beautiful eyes widened immediately, with a look of surprise.

It made Liu Jing laugh again.

It seemed that he had heard the movement in the dormitory, and there was a rustling sound from the next door. Deng Yuan couldn't stay on the bed, and called in the maidservants to help them wash and change clothes.

Women are far more troublesome than men. When Liu Jing finished washing and looked brand new, Deng Yuan just sat in front of the dressing table and combed his long hair.

Deng Yuan's hair is six feet long, flowing like clouds, and the quality of his hair is enough to make ninety-nine percent of women in the world jealous.Because of this, she cherishes her black hair very much, and never pretends to be someone else's hand, even if she is a personal maid.

Liu Jing watched with excitement, and said, "Young Master, how about I comb your hair?"

Deng Yuan stopped his movements, pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "This is not what a gentleman should do."

Liu Jing argued: "What's the matter with combing your hair? This is the love of husband and wife, the joy of the boudoir. Don't you know that Zhang Chang used to be his wife's thrush, and people still talk about it."

Deng Yuan was familiar with historical records, and said: "In the past, Zhang Chang was his wife's thrush, and people ridiculed it, and some officials participated in the performance. Although Zhang Chang argued that "in the boudoir, the privacy of husband and wife is more than that of thrush." ​​Emperor Xuan loved him. Talent, I didn’t blame him, but I also think that he is frivolous and lacks dignity, and he will not be in a high position in his life. Liu Lang’s success at a young age is not immune to envy, if it is reported that he has lost his manners, I’m afraid it will provoke a lot of criticism.”

Liu Jing shook his head, he had no choice but to give up, what Deng Yuan said made sense, the world was like this, there was no need to force it, it would be harmful and not beneficial to him.

When Deng Yuan was fully dressed and dressed in auspicious clothes, he walked out of the room, the sky was already bright, and the two came to the north main hall to meet their stepmother, Mrs. Zhang.

Deng Yuan offered jujubes, millet and other things to his stepmother Zhang, called Auntie, and served her meals.

Mrs. Zhang stopped after eating a few symbolic mouthfuls. Deng Yuan picked up the chopsticks and swallowed the leftovers to show his filial piety.

Afterwards, Mrs. Zhang pulled Deng Yuan to the chair of honor and sat down, and she herself fell to the guest seat, saying that from now on she would entrust Deng Yuan with a room and take charge of housekeeping.And Liu Jing officially became the head of the family.

Then the two went to the East Wing to greet their sister-in-law Lai Ci, and also offered dates, millet and other things.

Compared with her stepmother, Zhang, Deng Yuan was more cautious in front of Lai Ci. I don't know if it had something to do with the loss of her husband. , paid little attention to other things, and gave Deng Yuan a feeling that he was inaccessible.

But one thing Deng Yuan can be sure of is that Lai Ci is a kind and virtuous person, and she believes that the two will live in harmony in the future.

After the meal time, Liu Jing and Deng Yuan went out of the house again to meet the elders of the clan.Going around in various houses, it was already afternoon when I returned home.

The next day, Liu Jing put away his wedding attire and rushed to Beijin Wharf. Today is the day when his elder brother Du Xi leads his family to go north and return home.

Du Xi is a famous scholar in Yingchuan, and he has lived in Changsha for several years. Whether he is a sojourner from the north or a native from the south, he has made friends with countless people.It was the Beijin Wharf on that day, and as far as the eye could see, there were hundreds of Confucian scholars with high crowns and long sleeves.

Today, Liu Jing not only represented himself, but also represented Zhang Xian as the chief bookkeeper to see Du Xi off.

Zhang Xian treated Du Xi very well. When his family moved south to Changsha, he immediately sent people to build houses and gave them fields and cattle. Now that Du Xi returned home, he sent warships and soldiers to escort him.To be honest, there must be an intention to "buy a horse bone with a thousand pieces of gold", but when he did this, even Du Xi was very moved.

Du Xi bid farewell to everyone until Liu Jing was the only one left.

Liu Jing's eyes were red, and he almost shed tears. It was the first time he lost his composure after traveling for more than a year.

When he parted with Zhuge Liang, he never lost his composure, because he knew that the two would not part for too long, and sooner or later they would meet again.

Du Xi is different, and I don't know if the two will see each other again in the future.

Du Xiliang, wearing leather shoes and wearing a purple robe, held Liu Jing's hand tightly, and said, "Zhongda, I will run for you when I return to my hometown. You just need to wait for the bus sign."

Liu Jing answered "No" with tears in his eyes.

"Zhongda..." Du Xi hesitated to speak, but he still didn't say anything. He just patted Liu Jing's shoulder heavily, turned and left.

Looking at Du Xi's back, Liu Jing finally held back his tears and didn't let them fall.

…………

On the third day after the marriage, Liu Jing bid farewell to Deng Yuan and his family, and returned to the county mansion where he had been away for several months. When he returned to the chief registry office, he was warmly welcomed by his subordinate officials.

Liu Jing was in a good mood at first, but when he walked into his office and saw the mountain of paperwork before the case, he couldn't laugh immediately.

There is no way, the debt left by him must be paid by himself, just as soon as he buried his head in the paperwork, Zhang Xian sent someone to call him to sit down.

Liu Jing came to sit in a daze, and saw a young official standing in the hall.

The young officials ignored Zhang Xian in the hall, and said directly to Liu Jing: "Is Liu Zhongda Liu Jun here? I am an official under Biejia of the Jingzhou Governor's Department. The Jingzhou Governor's Department is in charge, will you obey your orders?"

Liu Jing raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and immediately understood Liu Biao's intentions, the other party was trying to create momentum for him.If he guessed correctly, it was the Jingzhou Governor's Department first, then the Zhennan General's Mansion, and finally Ju Maocai.

That being the case, Liu Jing was not polite, and immediately refused: "Thank you Liu Shijun for your kindness, but I am sorry that the officials will not follow orders."
