Chapter 37 Invitation

The appearance of the eight words "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" is definitely deafening and thought-provoking in this era, and it has caused a huge impact on Liu Yu's spirit.

The book shop was also dead silent. Confucian scholars put down the scrolls in their hands and looked at Liu Jing, all with admiration on their faces. Some people were even emotional and raised their arms and shouted:

"Excellent! Liu Jun!"

"'Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!' If everyone in the world thinks this way, why worry about the uncertainty of the world."

"'Taking the world as our responsibility' is exactly the aspiration of our generation!"

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, then said: "My talent is sparse and my ambition is small. I have loved mountains and rivers since I was a child. In this life, I only wish to live in seclusion in the barren hills and be a leisurely farmer who doesn't care about outside customs. I can't do such a big thing as helping the world. , is more suitable for a person with great ambitions like this one..."

But the more he said this, the more confident he became, and he didn't know why he suddenly felt guilty.

Liu Jing shook his head secretly. When the two met for the first time, Liu Yu's unrestrained and unrestrained style left a deep impression on him. He thought he was a talented and talented person, and he was looking forward to meeting him again.

He couldn't say that it was wrong for Liu Yu to have such an idea. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced.

Since the two sides have different views, let's not conspire with each other, and most of Liu Jing's chatter disappeared at once.

Soon Liu Jing left on the pretext of business affairs.

After Liu Jing left, the Confucian scholars whispered to each other for a while, and there was a lot of discussion. Liu Yu had no intention of participating in it. He held the scroll in his hand as a reading form, trying to concentrate, but found that he couldn't read a single word, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" eight The words kept echoing in his mind.

"Liu Zhongda..." Liu Yu read silently.

His long-cherished wish is to be a hermit who escapes from the world of mortals and wanders around the world, and will not change just because of Liu Jing's words, but a person like Liu Jing who cares about the world will always make people awe-inspiring Respect.

Just when Liu Jing thought that the day would end in a dull way, Du Xi came to visit suddenly.

In fact, it wasn't sudden. When he was farming at home, Du Xi ran to the fields every three days. According to this frequency, he should have come long ago.

Du wears a purple and white tunic, a purple corrugated cotton robe, black trousers, green silk shoes, a black lacquered sarong crown on his head, large sleeves hanging down, and a calm demeanor.

He walked into the market building, pointed at Liu Jing and said with a smile: "Zhongda, before you came, I wondered if you were regretting coming to work in the market, but seeing you now, I am obviously overjoyed."

"It's not too much to be overjoyed, but since I took office, I have indeed gained a lot."

Liu Jing said: "Liu Xiang, a famous scholar in the former Han Dynasty, once said: 'There must be herbs in the lake of ten steps; there must be loyal men in the city of ten rooms. Wanji, there are too many people in it who are worth getting along with, and I have really met a lot of new friends in the past few days."

Du Xi nodded and said: "Zhongda, you are humble, but you have a high spirit. Anyone who can befriend you with all your heart must have their own merits."

"The thing that makes me most happy is getting to know Zhuge Kongming. He is from Langya, Xuzhou. Although he is only young, he has extremely high talent and ambition. What is even more rare is that we have the same heart and the same goal. Today, we have become irreversible friends." Liu Jing did not hide the joy in his heart.

Du Xi was greatly surprised. In his impression, Liu Jing had a calm personality and was indifferent in dealing with things.

Moreover, Liu Jing was always conceited, he admired this young man named Zhuge Kongming so much, Du Xi couldn't help being curious, and wanted to see with his own eyes whether he was really as good as Liu Jing described.

"This son's surname is Zhuge, but he is a descendant of Zhugefeng, the former Han Sili school lieutenant?" Du Xi easily guessed Zhuge Liang's origin because he was the only one with the surname Zhuge in the whole world.

"Exactly." Liu Jingjing nodded, and briefly introduced Zhuge Liang's situation with Du Xi. During the period, he inevitably talked about his uncle Zhuge Xuan and Zhu Hao's competition for Yuzhang.

Zhuge Xuan is a famous scholar in Xuzhou Langya, but Du Xi didn't think highly of him. He thought that in a peaceful world, he might be able to be a two thousand stone prefect in peace, but in a chaotic world, he can only be involuntary like now. Going with the flow, in short, he is just an ordinary person.

Both of them were outstanding in terms of wisdom and knowledge, they had a long talk and enjoyed each other very much, and before they knew it, it was the closing time of the market.

Hearing the sound of the drum, Du Zhan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's really a pleasant thing to come here and come back after having a good time. The only regret is that I can't drink a glass of wine."

Liu Jing could only express his helplessness to this, he was not Huang Qiu, who dared to drink openly in the city building, he had gained a good reputation with great difficulty, how could he not cherish it.

But when it comes to wine, Liu Jingzhen is going to invite Du Xi to drink. He will take a bath the day after tomorrow, and he will have nothing else to do except visit Zhuge Liang's family in Duting. Host a banquet in a restaurant, invite a few friends, raise a glass to talk about the world, cook wine and talk about heroes, and only in this way can you live up to your time.

For Liu Jing's invitation, Du Xi didn't even think about it, and agreed without hesitation.In fact, he has a dinner party the day after tomorrow, but since Liu Jing has spoken, he will come no matter what, so the previous dinner party can only be postponed.

Since his family moved to Changsha, Du Xi has been very low-key. However, his status as a celebrity in Yingchuan and his performance of not submitting to Liu Biao are like the bright moon in the night sky, and he is strongly sought after by the Changsha gentry, even if he is behind closed doors. If not, there will still be a lot of entertainment, which makes people really upset.

When Liu Jing went out with Du Xi, he saw Huang Qiu passing by the door pretending to be nonchalant. The two of them saw through his intention at a glance, and simply stood there and watched him perform quietly.

Huang Qiu bowed to Du Xi, and while presenting the famous badge, he said: "I am Huang Qiu, I am the owner of the building. Du Jun is a famous person in the country. I have admired him for a long time. Today I learned that Du Jun came to the building. I am very happy, but I have never met Du Jun before, so I hesitate to move forward, lest I be disturbed."

Du Xi glanced at Liu Jing, and exchanged a few pleasantries with Huang Qiu for his sake.Du Xi was a celebrity that even Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, could not make him succumb to. With Huang Qiu's status, he could not get in touch with him at all. Now he had the opportunity to say a few words, which was a complete surprise.

Huang Qiu was just an insignificant episode, and was soon dismissed by Du Xi.

Du Xi came in a bullock cart, and Liu Jing took advantage of the light to hitchhike back to the official house.

In addition to Du Xi, Huan Yi is also the object of his invitation. He has come into contact with him several times in the past few days. He thinks that Huan Yi is a little inferior to his brother Huan Jie, but he is also an outstanding person, worthy of friendship.

Liu Jing remembered that on the first day he took office, Huan Yi just came back from a vacation, so the two of them had a vacation on the same day, if they couldn't make it together, even the invitation would be useless.

After Huan Yi, Japan did not plan to take a bath, but when Liu Jing invited him to have a drink together, he readily agreed.

Coming out of the Huanyi House, Liu Jing hesitated whether to invite his clan brother Liu Pan...

First of all, there is a problem that Liu Panxiu's holiday is different from him, and he may not have time to go to the banquet.

The second is Du Xi, Huan Yi, and Zhuge Liang, who he is going to invite this time. The older ones are no more than 24, and the younger ones are fifteen. If it takes five years, it will follow." The age difference between the few of them is no more than ten years old, and they can interact with each other as equals.

But the elder brother Liu Pan is different. He is 34 years old, twice the age of Liu Jing and Zhuge Liang, and it is difficult for them to let go of drinking with him.

Based on the above considerations, Liu Jing finally gave up his plan to invite his clan brother Liu Pan.
